I also ended up getting Mr. Nothing on the banner where he wasn't on rate-up. My luck is...it's something, for sure.
Arknights is so funny (I have so many snipers help why must the sniper class be made of archers)

I tried to design him and give him cupcakes :3

Btw if you're wondering, Emiya is my favorite Servant from the F/sn cast
I like Saber too, but I have a grudge against her

for her insistence on going to the Temple getting Shirou killed lol. I expected better from the king who repelled the Saxons for 10 years (also I was thinking about tactical stuff at the time for Berserker and Archer so the errored decision made the bias worse. No it was not actually her fault, it was needed for the VN format. But please Saber, the remaining Servant is quite obviously either Assassin or Caster at that point, why would you do a fortress invasion)

I need to remember to actually watch the anime

I think my priorities are something like...

...

yeah.

I love drawing Ambryll 'cause I kinda just teeter between "wow they're pretty" and "eh they're average" and arrive at the balance point of "I guess they're decent looking?" Meanwhile they do not care. I cannot emphasize how little they care (it's even on their page that they don't care lol, as a reminder to myself to stop trying to label their looks)
"Average",,, it's just Rai all over again except it feels like it's a beauty standard fluctuation thing 

I do think if they were drawn in a realistic style they would translate better than my other characters, so maybe they have a more realistic attractiveness or something. For instance, I don't think Kiaane translates very well to realism, even though I think they're super pretty. Neither does Galaxian, who's cute ig (and kinda handsome though not very much so in an older form). Wiley and Raez have a more out of the world look to them because I can't really change their eye and hair colours without changing who they are, but Raez probably does better in terms of how well his features translate to the real world
Rai would have to change his face 'cause his point is that he looks like an NPC, so maybe he'd just look like one of those pictures where a lot of people's faces from a region are overlapped and the average look comes out lol

Love how much casual slang I use is apparently vulgar slang, but I have no idea why it's vulgar so I continue using it anyways

Honestly at this point in life I have understood that as long as people exist, certain terms will always have meanings I don't understand or approve of, so my solution is to swerve away when I feel the need to but otherwise ignore whatever the heck is going on

You may notice my usage of "bastard" is very different from its formal meaning. Well that's 'cause it's all passively (not very passively) aggressively (very aggressively) directed towards a certain individual, who was the first to prompt me to call him a bastard. Since then it's just a generic term for me because I enjoy maximising confusion[?]

I misuse irony a lot but Gao Wei getting accused of treason and being forced to commit suicide by the paranoid Emperor Wu of Zhou after he had Hulv Guang strangled to death and Gao Changgong poisoned to death various years earlier is irony of the highest order, befitting of the actual (literary) definition for irony, no?
I know like nothing about the Emperor of Zhou but I love him for this specifically. Get the bastard

-Galaxian-

I don't think I can emphasize how funny all this must have seemed to Emperor Wu of Zhou
And I can also confirm that this is not a joke. Dude issued a pardon for Hulv Guang because of this very fact. Dude found this hilarious (and extremely convenient)

Chinese history: History repeats itself like a system of gears and we have no idea how we haven't been all grinded to meat pulp in those gears 
I remember seeing this one article called "China's Bloody Century". Very specific. Like which one?

We're alive for the funny anecdotes I'm sure of it (also to brag about how many people can die compared to the Europeans with their wars of hundreds of people)

I do love how even while dreaming, my mind can split itself into half to fanboy over Milo while the other half worries about how well my AU's Scorpio Saint fits into the Cloth

-Galaxian-

Also, yesterday I told my mom I dreamt about the Gold Saints again, and her response was just, "Simp". Then she turned back around and kept going about her business

Honestly, how is someone supposed to respond to their mom calling them a simp anyways :-P

-Galaxian-

Also love how the Aquarius Saint gets off scot-free whenever I'm struggling because I need practice drawing faces and all he has is a mask and (I nearly typed "a" in front) hair
Turns out the decision to troll the Gemini with the mask was also a calculated decision to avoid having me draw him

Still trying to figure out if the stitched-to-the-eyelid eyebrows are mandatory to create a likeness of most SS characters or if it's optional
So far it's seeming mandatory.

In my defence, I don't skimp on it sometimes, for example Saga always looking like he's having a mid-life crisis is absolutely hilarious and I wouldn't have it any other way
2 more days until full Kanon btw. And I level 70ed God Cloth Milo. 

-Galaxian-

Love how I can draw no one in the SS style except Saga and Kanon (actually I haven't tried for that many people today, but I've been failing at drawing Milo for the past month if that means anything)

-Galaxian-

I love drawing Raez and Wiley 'cause for Raez it's like, I need to understand shapes and proportions and muscles and stuff, then for Wiley his body frame is a rectangle.
