Love how my posts combined to make me dream about Gold Saints in a zombie apocalypse.
Y'know, whenever I get the "if you could summon a group of fictional characters to help deal with the zombie apocalypse, who would you summon?" quesstion, I've always said the Gold Saints. I mean I'm not too sure how quickly they'd adjust, but even vector-based infections can't survive a galactic nuke I'm pretty sure.
Also if I had to bring one Gold Saint, I'd bring Saga mostly 'cause he feels more responsible than his twin, and I need his ultimate technique (I mean Aiolia also has AOE damage but that dude isn't surviving too long in an apocalypse, let's be honest here). I'll take the risk of his alter ego feeding me to the zombies sadistically. I mean tbh I feel like his evil side might like me since I seem to give him so many suggestions, maybe I could survive for a week. Plus if I escaped from him I feel like he would be the sort of villain to look at the big picture and not bother hunting me down jk he would just nuke out of revenge, 0 effort needed
Btw this is a joke. I think Mu would probably be one of the best choices. Free warp back to the underworld and good defence. Maybe he could work on making Crystal Wall while not having to stand in one position, idk.

I like how now that I have an AU with Gold Saints (Silver Saints and Specters who?), my mind feels the need to include them in dreams with the canon people. So you have the canon characters mostly being commonsensical in this situation, and then suddenly my mind is like "OH WAIT hold on my AU exists, how would they deal with this?" and then 5 seconds later you have the Aries, Taurus, and Gemini in a train going 115 mph an hour to deal with zombies because that's definitely a solution. 
I'm ngl, it might not be a good solution per se, but it's an extremely funny one to witness as a spectator.

Dealt 2.6 million damage on the Legion Boss today with God Cloth Milo. 
Turns out Hecate is kinda OP. Also he needed a better Divine Cosmo or something.

I beat the whole Poseidon's arc yesterday (well technically I have one last side quest but usually those aren't too hard, and hopefully I'm not about to eat my words)
Love finishing one arc just for "A New Holy War" to appear. Thanks guys @Shion, Saga, etc., you guys keep things so interesting, don't you?

I thought the side story would be short, but there's like 8 parts or something lol idk. 
I'm ngl, Saga is a real threat when he's an enemy, probably 'cause I don't have many damage mitigation strategies for AOE damage (Shun has a skill that I maxed up, but it does like nothing). So usually I try to Silence him or just try to get him down first.
It's kinda funny, but I usually use God Cloth Milo against him and his brother, so it's like "hey look Milo could beat you guys if he tried...in this game...with like 5 people helping him..." Saga and Kanon are OP lol

For some reason I keep remembering how younger me specifically wrote down that one headcanon of forum!Hitan training with Shura and every time just coming out of the training area absolutely not PG-13 friendly looking. But he's all cheerful and stuff because he got bisected a few less times this time! He's improving!

Forum!Silence invokes this fact every single time Hitan tries to say he's normal. (he is not normal he is not)

I feel kinda like the fluff I do develop is the eye of the hurricane and then everything else is just the wall. Swirling, toiling, crushing.

Smh Time, you need to add things for them to love before you take it all away, or else all you get are emotionless people with no purpose.

 
True

The SS AU destroys my emotions, but it's also my own fault 'cause I could have gone about it another way and instead I decide to go the emotion-destroying route. It's super deserved

Anyhow, I've been thinking a lot more on the Jinchenxi arc for no reason really, but this time more on the actual focus couple rather than Bai Yuechu and Susu (much as I love the two of them)
I really enjoy the concepts behind the arc, and tbh it's really fulfilling once you think about it a lot and reread 4 times because it's really has rather novel ideas that I haven't seen explored before, at least not in a similar fashion

The stuff is so deep that I can't even elaborate lol (it's not that deep, but idk, I really like it, so much so that I'm thinking on everything at once).

Actually I just thought about it, what if Honghong being violent is because of not only her upbringing under Fengxi (who covets power) but also the general culture of yaoguai?
There's a common saying for the world, where "ren shan zhi, bu shan li" ("humans are better in intelligence than brute force"), and given that humans and yaoguai were so opposed to each other, I can see the yaoguai continuing to value brute strength and power.
I don't think this is far-fetched, because it's stated that before humans invented the Wangquan sword and spiritual arts, the yaoguai dominated through brute force, and since they aren't strong in "intelligence"/thinking/flexibility, it'd make sense that they mostly are set in those ways. Plus, in their defence, there are plenty of humans who also operate by the mantra that strength is the way to go [hi Shura, Deathmask, Saga, etc. lol wrong universe but hiiiii]
You can also see it in how they find leaders. They fight and crown the winner. If they aren't happy about the winner, then they challenge them (in the case of Honghong, she beats every challenger to a pulp [exaggerating])

Y'know that makes a lot more sense then and makes me see the way she treats Dongfang Yuechu sometimes in a more logical light. It's not that she's violent but rather that's the way she was taught to behave, plus she has problems with emotions and isn't the most tactical of people.

Every time I think maybe I like Rongrong 'cause she has a sus smile, I get proven really wrong
Not gonna complain. I like having multiple favorites in one work

Only character I've seen who can react, adapt, overcome to people from the future immediately, plus find them and know they're operating behind the scenes in the first place, and see the truth of who they are after getting falsified memories implanted into her head. Girlboss for real. I love her so much

Y'know, I'm realizing that I think I probably could reread this arc and get a whole lot more of it than I have the previous few times.

Edit: yeah everything is crystal clear. HYXHN readers certified non-readers as well. Honestly they could rival Fate

R.I.P. the Yang family tbh, I'm trying to think about it and I don't think any one of their family hasn't met a tragic end some way or another

Grand catalogue:
-Mu Mie's grandfather sends his almost son-in-law to his death at the wedding because he couldn't get over his own sense of face (Chinese saying). So his daughter leaves him and he never finds it in him to find her and apologize. She dies before him, one of his grandsons disappears (dies), and his grandson dies before him, and he goes to his grave full of regrets. A very realistic character even if he's not seen much, and similarly tragic in the realistic sense where someone doesn't overcome their faults and realizes it only when every decision that would have mattered was not taken by them.
-Mu Mie's mom finds a man she loves and does everything she can to marry him (plays a lil trick of getting pregnant and making it so that her dad literally cannot say no by ancient customs)...then because said husband is a kind person and acted past prejudices of the time, he's literally taken away in front of her during their marriage proceeding based off of corrupt charges, and she never sees him again. yeah. She leaves her family after that and lives a destitute life, and dies young (when Mu Mie has barely reached adulthood). Also she misses her father, but because things were the way they were, they never work it out.
-Yang Yitan: Goes out and hecking dieeeesss. Gouges out his own eyeball after watching all his friends die because of him. Dies with regret and self-hatred. The only consolation here is that at least he lives on and is remembered positively in a sense. Yikies
(another consolation is that he was in sound enough mind in the end to transfer his last memories to his cousin, which implies that in the end, he didn't go off the deep end after all. Even though it was a very painful and regretful death, he still found solace right before the end somehow and stayed true to himself and helped save 2 of the people who went, which is more than what the 2 survivors he helped save did for the most part)
-Mu Mie: Technically a member of the Yang family as well even though his surname takes after his dad (who presumably has the last name Mu). Dies young. The surname change really helped in him at least dying without regrets

Tbh shoutout to life sometimes narrowing down the options for me since I'm such a bad decision-maker. Hopefully it doesn't narrow any further but honestly it's appreciated. It's kinda like a friend forcing me to look at some things instead of everything.

Also, love how sometimes I feel the urge to maybe make a custom of saying thank you to having food and stuff, but it always is a bit too out-of-character or something, so I never follow through it. But meanwhile I can imagine food crossing through spiritual planes or smthn idk, I'm weird.

(Doing Hektor's Interlude)
Me: (*points to Lancer Yu, Changgong and Xu Fu by her side*) Is this Hektor? 

I know Echo tries to make Paris look more like Hektor's brother in appearance and vice versa, but tbh I find it funnier to imagine that when Hektor was 10 he was also like that (like petite and cute and kinda androgynous, pretty freaking funny to imagine). And if that isn't enough to convince you, just try imagining that older Paris also looks like Hektor does. Idk I think it's so funny
I was gonna use another term to describe all that about Paris' appearance and stuff but Googled it just in case, and it turns out that the original Japanese meaning isn't what English speakers tend to use it as. Not gonna use it as a result

There's a lil pupper in a neighbor's house that's been whining for hours now
Poor little thing.
