It's really hard to imagine Raez screaming lol
Tbh Wiley screaming is more like him shouting, but even shouting is hard for me to imagine for Raez
Uhhh this was not what I was going to come here to say but it's okay lol.

Ah darn, I forgot 3 of the dying ideas I had, heck

-Galaxian-

I love how I'm literally doing this to see how the characters fit with the song, and I'm like "This has nothing to do with themes, @Brain," while my mind continues to shut down every song because "Well this doesn't fit thematically!" We're also not thinking about lyrics, @BRAIN. We're literally just thinking about visuals and vibes. No, no, stop.

I think as of right now I like "Oath Sign" and "Brave Shine" the best (in that order). I might be slightly biased due to "Oath Sign" showing Master and Servant pairs already, though, but right now the imagined visuals are probably the best from what I can feel. Anyways, "Oath Sign" is functioning more like a showcase of the characters, while "Brave Shine" is working as the action variant. Which, if one thinks about it, is kinda their original purpose...does that mean I lack imagination? Probably, lol.

"Sora ha Takaku, Kaze ha Utau" is a Hitan theme song though iirc xD

-Galaxian-

For the past week (few days), every time I've read about Aurora being mad I just keep thinking that she probably got angsted at some point in her past, but upon recalling everything that has gotten her mad I don't know what could have happened.
Like right now my mind thinks she got her toes run over by a cart when she was a toddler, and that's actually funny to me in various ways, but it makes little sense.

-Galaxian-

Time to do some character dev hehehe~

-Galaxian-

I technically need to find a ref for Xuqiao but I don't really feel like it, mostly 'cause it's been at least 2 years (:

-Galaxian-

Okay so I finished updating the F/GO document I had (turns out taking a one or two-day break does help) to see how much progress I'd done on the Fate AU characters I have, and surprising no one, Rider and Berserker need a heck lot more of new dev xD
My biggest question, however, is why April me decided to sass present me on a planning/game headcanons document. I mean I'm amused and not gonna complain about it, I just wanna know xD

-Galaxian-

Okay, so essentially the headcanon was that Sollux did her homework by candlelight up until recently (somewhat recently is what I mean) because she didn't know other kids didn't, like, y'know, do that, until recently.
She heard about (*insert convenient conversation about light bulbs and electricity here*), I guess!
The thing was, when she was really young, Sunny tried out electricity once, but he couldn't figure out how to pay for it. So the electricity was cut and he stuck to fire magic ever since.
Tbh he can barely buy groceries lol. But at least he can, since he buys groceries and candles to go with 'em. But I guess now Sollux knows how to pay the electricity bills, so she does it for him. Because of her paying bills for them, I think she knows all their credit card numbers, Social Security, and/or whatever the heck else is needed for paying stuff in their world. Yay responsibility.
Sunny's terrible with technology in the Fate world, lol. R.I.P. him.

The ironic thing here is that other versions of Sunny hate candles and are good with money xD.

-Galaxian-

Yay after an hour of scouring through the free trial of heck (the upstairs) again, I hath found it :3
One lifetime I'm gonna redo all my past sketches that I want to redo but for now I'm just going to be myself (lazy)
Lol somehow my third sketch of Time was worse than the first. I swear I go back in progress and none of y'all point it out, which I despise :-P

-Galaxian-

The sketchbook tour experience is also fun/interesting because a lot of the time for older art I have no idea who anyone is :') so I have to guess.
I can usually guess for Galaxian but it gets harder for anyone else. Like I guessed a handsome dude was Rai xD because of the hairstyle but I have no idea if he actually exists. Ah well, he's Rai now.
Also, I forgot I drew an older Lianhuan xD little guy's gonna grow up (at some point...) to be handsomeeeeee
He also kinda looks like a flirt in that picture. Oh no xD

-Galaxian-

I also drew refs for some characters in the past, which is like...really nice. Not sarcasm, btw xD. It's genuinely nice. Like now I can't do refs xD. I can try, but I can't.
I'll have to source some character designs from those references, which is both kinda exciting and also terrifying. But yay!
I don't have one for Xuqiao, though. Oof. Gotta make him a design.

-Galaxian-

Two, I did a drawing of Xuqiao. Ignoring how he somehow looks slightly like Kiaane to me (it might be due to a little bit of a stylistic shift I keep doing in recent drawings for the Fate AU), I'm actually very happy with how he looks. Like, I keep getting worried that I can't live up to saying that he looks handsome and whatnot despite being around 15 or so, but he looks pretty handsome to me, I dunno xD. I think I just have fears regarding designing Chinese characters first of all and then even more fear when it comes to Galaxian-related characters, like Xuqiao (who's technically a revamp of GGaD!Galaxian's base). But honestly I can't see much of a resemblance between Xuqiao and Galaxian atm, which hopefully means that Xuqiao resembles his base more than the character who...also followed that base? I don't know how to explain it well.
For Chinese characters, I'm always very worried about these aspects: 1) Distinctions, 2) Culture, 3) Efficacy. And so right now I think I've proven that I can make all three work, somewhat. There's definitely a lot of room for improvement, but at least I'm not just stuck at one point like I feared, right? I do have to continue keeping the concerns in mind so I can try to avoid them.
Well, the gist of this point is that I have a part of his design, which leads to the following points:

2.5) It's not his entire design. That will need work. 
2.75) It's not necessarily his Fate design, and even if it were, it may not be Class-suited. I definitely will need to keep an eye on the class needed.

3) I have many drawing ideas, but three things I do need to get down for now are: 
 1. A drawing of Ambryll, likely a sketch without color on paper or a colored sketch digitally;
 2. A colored drawing of Forum!Galaxian, preferably on paper;
 3. Xuqiao and Lianhuan. Hopefully with outfit designs for both of them, but I'm more concerned about Xuqiao's outfit than Lianhuan's. I do expect facial and hairstyle design for Lianhuan, however. And this needs to be fluff, Galaxian. Not angst. The point of view should be fairly frontal for both of them, but especially for Xuqiao.

Aaaand that's a wrap. I'm pretty intent on trying to work more on Xuqiao and Rensa before I work on Saber. For all I know, my motivation regarding Saber is limitless. Hopefully it's so, or else when I get to them it's gonna suck xD.
It's not like I'm demotivated on Xuqiao and Rensa, by the way. It's just that for them, motivation is manual. So I need to think about them on purpose. I can't really classify my motivation for Helge, Ambryll, and Sunny for now, but I think it's a little bit different. Anyhow, I love them both so it's not like I don't want to do this. I just hope I can do them justice.

Oh, and one more thing--need to re-read the entire Kiaane and Martin thread again. Yay, reading! Anyways, the problem is I might have forgotten some points again. I need to reconnect to make sure what I'm thinking for the next POV is correct.
And that's it. Good night, whoever's still on.

-Galaxian-

I love Kiaane because xD they're so clueless, I literally am imagining Elio and Aereon being under the table instead of Martin and they're like "whatever" and just do whatever they do
