I'm trying to figure out if banning TikTok would actually be a subject that America's left and right agree on
'Cause if so...I dunno how to feel about it xD

Zollner illusion doesn't work on me because it's based on the mind trying to simplify things when all my mind wants to do is overcomplicate (jk, probably)

This is one of the most missed potential meme opportunities that I've seen lol.
Other than heartbones, I mean.
Iirc I did see someone use it but I wouldn't be surprised if it were more widespread.
I guess in a way it's good. Honest doesn't deserve the attention so (:

I always love when some F/GO fans are like "Saint Seiya collab when" because lore-wise that'd be absolutely horrible for the Gold Saints if they were the ones transferred. The Saints purposefully have the entire thing about secrecy, so imagine they're in F/GO and they can shoot beams and all but their galaxy destroying privileges are just revoked because of the Servant fame/power system set by the Throne. So they kinda just die over and over again as plot devices just like in the main series since their power levels are now hard balanced by plenty of similarly resurrected people
Imagine how frustrated you'd be if you became one of the most powerful people in the world while you were still a little kid/preteen/teen but then after death you just become another gacha game Saber because you can punch out beams. Especially if the entire after-death system is so that you can keep protecting the Earth but now you're even more reliant on the power of friendship out of anything else.

Though at least Chaldea has fluff and random stuff going on, while in canon they kinda just wander in the remains of the underworld that Athena didn't bother to replace. Or get sealed by the gods for dramatic purposes. Idk if the Tenkai chapter is canon.
Huh. I'm not sure which is worse. Somehow canon is still losing. Imagine that.

Imagining a certain Gold Saint just teaming up with Asclepius to hate on Hades and it's pretty dang funny

I am so behind on the SS mangas lol (ND, I never finished LC, Saintia Sho was on Hiatus, same with Episode G Assassin, Episode Zero is gone from my brain along with most of Episode G...I'm probably missing some lol)

But the good thing about not reading them in so long is that I can see the art styles differently! And appreciate them more!
Anyways here's Saintia Sho's Aphrodite lol (manga)

It's like "You're not you when you're hungry" but instead it's "You're not you without your not-lipstick"
Only Aphrodite that can be called handsome xF, it's so weird to me lol.
I honestly wanted the anime/PPT presentation to draw him kinda this way just for the giggles, but honestly I wasn't too upset when they didn't. I mean, the anime itself was...a doozy, anyways.
Also this scene is pretty much an OP side character telling a beginner player "you're not strong enough to summon me" and just leaving lol. Kinda unfair, I gotta say, but Aphrodite canonically had weird morals, so I mean. Fair.
"You didn't murder the Pope when you had the chance so goodbye (: (*he does not care about casualties*)"

Milo powerdrilling through a tree root is always stuck in my head. Always.

Manga colors: Mac n' Cheese Gold Saints

~~seriously I get food vibes from this coloring lol, anime colors for the win.~~
Iirc good Saga also is blond...god help the tonal variety lol.

Ironically Shaka does look best with blond hair imo. The dashing golden color helps with his vibe. Camus with red hair (and red nails) is also not something I dislike, though his red nails probably would make the Milo x Camus part of the fandom worse (not that they need fuel)
It overall is pretty interesting design-wise. Gives him some personality (since someone did those nails, whether it was him or someone else), and the nails even feel like they match Milo's, which is cute!! :D Also the red hair/warm palette would contrast him being a Saint of Ice/that entire demeanor he puts up, which would foreshadow his actual nature. Camus is one of those characters who I felt was kinda shadowed/was used as a plot device especially so anything like that would be super welcome in my eyes. Though, as implied, I don't find anything wrong with the icy palette either. I think it's cool too.
Most of the other colors are okay in my opinion, though Dohko with black(?) hair is actually kinda weird.
Evil Saga stole manga Deathmask's hair dye confirmed??!
Aldebaran could be bald and no one would notice (jk Aldebaran, we love and support you)

The creator really liked the color yellow huh XD

Also gonna add here in case ND gets adapted as an anime or ends
I don't actually want Seiya to die in canon. Saori dying would be fine but honestly Seiya wouldn't deserve it. I joke about burning him quite frequently and still don't like him, but honestly he deserves to live out his teenage years and missed a bunch of his youth 'cause of his bastard father. Same goes with the other Bronze Saints.
Again, though, Saori dying would be fine with me, in fact it might even be a good end to her very prolonged self-sacrifice journey. Unless she puts up a good finale, which would be highly unexpected. (It's not her fault that she got turned into a baby again, but aging up didn't help either, which is when I threw my hands up and declared my hope [if it even existed in the first place] was lost.)
Usually for me it's that the villains who are irredeemable should die and be reincarnated, but in this case Saori has created such a mess (despite technically getting lucky and putting an end to a bunch of stuff) that she deserves to go take a more permanent trial in the Underworld for a bit. ~~that is, until the next sequel :')~~

F/GO spoiler

does Echo know that "Van Gogh" is actually one of Apollo's, uh, mistresses?
I'd be interested in hearing if they do but hopefully they didn't click here (:

I need to lay down (':

Honestly spoilers don't effect me that much because I tend to look up plot summaries due to Severe Anxiety and "spoil" myself because if I get too anxious about the plot or not knowing what will happen, I tend to avoid playing the game or have panic attacks (like the near panic attack I had while finishing the last singularity XD) or I won't enjoy it because, you know, Anxiety RIP

Also who knows when I'll actually be able to play the event, considering it took me over two months to finish the last Singularity I played (':

GalaxianExplosion · November 2, 2022 01:01:29

Okay xD just askin'
Tbh it's funny 'cause when Saintia Sho's anime trailer first came out I was super hyped, but now I see some proportion issues :-P the most atrocious thing is the PPT animations though ~~DRILL MILO~~

I also see the duality of SoG better now lol
It really was this

this

VERSUS

(rip)

I need to rewatch it to see if Saga really did get the coolest entrance, 'cause I specifically remember Shaka having noodle hair/extremely wonky facial proportions and making my mom cry because of it

GalaxianExplosion · November 2, 2022 01:04:01

Also I've said this for years but I will never stop appreciating that look of cool disappointment Saga gives Milo
He debuts as one of the most OP Gold Saints and he's honestly just like "I am so disappointed in you" more than anything else. He gives off older brother/dad vibes even though he's only 7 years older.
Also iirc Camus knew they were screwed when Saga arrived, which was super funny too.
Hubris done right (*thumbs up emoji*)

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · November 2, 2022 01:05:26

Alternate impression: Saga wanted to debut later and was honestly just annoyed at having to save Milo, which would instead be super anti-dad energy (though it'd kinda fit sibling energy. "I told you so" is sibling energy)
The flame effect is not enough

"You made me waste my two frames of coolness. Now look at how I've gotten. All because of you. You should be ashamed of yourself."

~~Saga and Kanon have no room to talk smh~~

GalaxianExplosion · November 2, 2022 01:15:37

Milo is the most forgiving person ever. I can't relate
(*gets betrayed again*) (*is furious*) (*betrayal is kinda half-and-half*) (*forgives*)

That being said, I guess he did poke a bunch of holes into Camus during the first actually false betrayal, so maybe it was that.
Not that he didn't try the second time around too.

Camus logic: If you're gonna betray someone, protect them by fighting him yourself. Freeze him simultaneously while Surt is hitting him with a flame attack to somewhat counteract the damage. Beat up Shura

GalaxianExplosion · November 2, 2022 01:19:37

Tbh headcanon that the Gold Saints have mostly been apart so long (whether in actual physical distance, e.g. between Temples, or emotional distance), some of the older Saints just have their impressions of the younger ones as idiots
Shaka is included as an older Saint. He respects the other Gold Saints (mostly) but he still thinks they're all stupid
~~meanwhile Deathmask has no self awareness~~

And Saga kinda just has that "Oh crap here we go again" thought instilled in his head permanently because for the past 13 years he was mostly either in his evil state or depressed about being in his evil state. He couldn't really connect with anyone due to having disappeared, so now whenever someone younger than him makes a mistake in combat or outside of it, he is this close to being done. It's like 13 years (and the death in between) never passed and that's actually a very neutral thing due to all the implications balancing out
