Brainrot report btw: SS (canon and AU), F/GO

I don't even know what I'm brainrotting on, just I know it's these two worlds. Oh yeah and another AU, I guess.
Just so y'all know, rn this is me trying not to crash out lol. I feel like this will be more fun for future me to read than ranting/complaining. Not sure if that's true or being conveyed...y'all let me know if it gets too annoying

Today I tried out the AE Surplice trio (turns out I can't beg for Mu/Aiolia/Milo's AE trio, probably for the better) and it was so fun to watch them do AE and do 3000 damage to Aldebaran.
They have to charge for this btw lol. It's so canon-accurate it actually kinda hurt. (Something else was also so canon-accurate it hurt but I forgot what it was. It was funny though.) I think Surplice Shura by himself did 7000 damage with an attack too,,, (meanwhile Camus [in the AE pack] hit Aldebaran with ice and then got no-u-ed with a "Immune" lol)

Also, I used God Cloth Aphrodite in the same team and he was just using 1 energy and doing like...idk, thousands of damage per hit. And he hits a lot of times each round along with stacking Bleed, so. I think even God Cloth Mu was doing more damage with reflection. I might be stupid. We'll see. For now I'll just cackle like a witch by myself here.

Naira and Lucina make me insane (I really need to design Naira for real lol help)

I dreamed that Time and I somehow ended up in the same summer activity sort of organization
His real name was John.
Therefore, I will be calling you John from now on, Time /hj

Levelled all skills to level 10 for a few Servants (Takasugee, Kukulkan) and finished up the levelling up of a few Servants who I'd grailed once, like Mr. Oberlin (bro sassed me when I levelled him up so he deserves this).

Me: (*gets Kukulkan after one multi*)
Human Order: Am I a joke to you

This happened today btw.

Some of her lines are a bit baity, but she's cute! I'm not the biggest fan of her art, but I like her design, and her lore...well, I like to think I appreciate it.
Once again a GGaD!Galaxian catalyst (/hj because I say that for a lot of people, but actually I could totally see them getting along.)

I am using F/GO rn to try to funnel my brainrot somewhere else, but it's not going well

I always develop the SS AU when I'm busy lol. But rn I'm a bit too busy for that.

I don't really get how some people can live without noticing the effect of misfortune on others. I mean, misfortune is the most basic form. As you go up you get discrimination (individual, then systematic), and that itself is sort of a misfortune imo. We could argue on how inevitable it is or how tied it is to intrinsic human nature or whatever, but that doesn't really change the nature of it.
Ofc, if I say that, then it's also equally obvious to me how some people only want support systems when those support systems work for them. That is, they will actively try to dismantle support systems of others as long as they themselves feel like they're doing okay. So maybe more than simple self-preservation so selfish that it excludes others, it has to do with hatred toward others' wellbeing? I'm not sure.
Another ofc is that they could notice it but simply not care, or misconstrue it as "Well then they could do better." It always astounds me how easily some people can jump instantly from feeling like a victim to immediately making themselves seem superior to others. Like honestly? Gaslight one way. Pick a side.

GalaxianExplosion · May 16, 2025 22:14:21

The only upside to my current philosophical system is that even though people who want the worst for others sometimes get their way--sometimes being an understatement at times, I feel like a lot of people have quite bad luck--(I feel like) those people's way of existing is even worse, no matter how much wealth or authority or whatever else that might be valued in society might accumulate, no matter how much happiness they might seem to exude or feel.
You could say it's a sort of philosophical-spiritual way of thinking about things, but honestly I feel like it's pretty healthy, and it's gotten me through a lot (in the past 2 years especially, it's been very practical for me)
It's also pretty logical imo. I mean, ofc it changes if some things that are outside my realm of knowledge turn out to be wrong than what I infer, but those things would have to be pretty extreme, so I think I'm good.
Thinking is good. Even if I turn out to be wrong.

(*rereads last bit of Zhuye arc*) (*gets destroyed*)
Idk what I was expecting.
Anyways, artistic masterpiece. (even now, the cave symbolism destroys me.) I'm glad that in AUs they end up together again and can actually be proper parents to their son. I hope in the canon universe they reincarnate too, and eventually end up together, even if it's not shown.

Speaking of whom, Wangquan Fugui is aura farming rn lol (aura farmed the entire chapter. YOU GO DUDE)
Love the comments of "Don't wrong the Wangquan dude, he'll come after you 500 years later in spirit form too. with a sword"
Love him so much lol (Quantong arc continuation soon hopefully???)

I wanna draw so bad that I'm looking at manhua to try to get through it
Y'know, if I were actually smart I would just draw and then remember why I shouldn't draw.

GalaxianExplosion · May 21, 2025 20:04:06

My Arknights playlist quickly went from "my favorite EPs" to "my favorite canon songs" to "my favorite AK-related songs"
Hopefully I don't start just putting every song I like in there.

Still trying to get through Core Difficulty. I got close one day where I defeated one group of enemies. Then the other ones ran me over.
Ice slugs man. Ice slugs, when I get you--

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 21, 2025 20:07:39

The slugs are bad, but then you get the people with the katanas who K.O. you in one hit when you have the Cold effect on.
Oh yeah btw you just have Kroos on the field lol.

GalaxianExplosion · May 21, 2025 23:41:58

Surplice Deathmask is here!
I have to make fun of him.(the devs put minimal effort into his entrance animation. it's literally him running at Mu and trying to be cool and failing)

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 21, 2025 23:44:42

Bro's lore is just "Died to a Bronze Saint, got revived, lost immediately, and then got yeeted into the underworld by one of the Three Judges"

GalaxianExplosion · May 21, 2025 23:45:48

Aiolia really likes me for some reason (apparently I drew Dion well enough that he approved???)

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 21, 2025 23:54:36

SAGA????

(Surplice Saga?????)

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 21, 2025 23:55:54

Love the canonicity of this hecking gacha game to forum!Galaxian's relationships with his mentors
Maybe I am forum!Galaxian. Hm.

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 22, 2025 00:08:50

Btw the amount of effort put into their entrance animations (Surplice Saga and Deathmask) is just,,, so obvious lol
Poor Deathmask.
Here, c'mere dude. I can give you a hug. (actually he refuses to come in 80 pulls. He's just like the ice dude. Btw Camus, maybe instead of wearing wacky outfits you could buy Hyoga some more hecking clothes in the middle of hecking Siberia, hmm?)

GalaxianExplosion · May 22, 2025 00:22:44

Man I SURE do LOVE being able to draw characters who I want to design within a few tries.
@Naira - hint hint. wink wink. (I love you ma'am but please)

(I will try drawing her when I can. hopefully there is improvement)

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 22, 2025 13:43:16

Got one Changgong and two Kamas from like 173 SQ and 50 tickets.
Fair enough. Not sure why Kama likes me enough for NP 2, but I'll respect that. She does have a bit of charm to her (I think she's my favorite Sakuraface, sorry everyone else in my Chaldea)
Anyways, one Changgong is enough for 1 Grail level lol. So I went ahead and grailed a few others. For one, Lancer Ryouma (and his wife) to level 102. The extra 2 levels are a wedding gift to them. Also, 100ed Takasugi and Oberon.
EXP surplus? What EXP surplus?

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 22, 2025 16:57:32

Time for my favorite character to dehumanize himself! This is definitely character development!

GalaxianExplosion · May 23, 2025 00:48:56

I think the prospect of HYXHN AU having Wiley and Raez would be hilarious because it really would be like
The two of them: (*have literally vowed to hopefully see each other in every following life*)
Me: You two need to be more committed (they are so hecking non-committed)

The absolute state of Raez and Wiley--
Raez: Well it's nice that I can see him occasionally (*does not approach Wiley*)
Wiley: Oh man that guy who pops up weirdly often in the corner of my eyes sure is cute. (*continues flirting with random NPC*)

They really need to look at Naira and Lucina. These two committed to each other before they even had names. Or genders tbh (Naira confirmed the ship before I could figure out she was trans, or before she could figure it out for that matter)

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 23, 2025 00:52:17

Btw the above was assuming Raez was the yaoguai, but I honestly think it would be Wiley (or at least the chance is 50/50 in my head)
In that case Wiley just trolling the both of them (he's his own biggest archenemy in the sense that he will do the stupidest thing just because he thinks it's funny. "Stupidest thing" includes seeing if the dude he's sworn to be with for the rest of his life will friendzone him if he doesn't take the initiative.)

These two still call each other bros btw. I am so done.

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 23, 2025 00:57:34

On that note, I will be inactive for a bit (you could call it travelling). You guys stay safe and take care! Hopefully when I come back I'll be all revved up about the SS AU (and another one too) still, I want to do art

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 25, 2025 21:15:29

When I can design him, I am making Nagesh the Grand Ruler to deal with all this bullcrap. --Someone who has been shown one too many flashbacks and is now flashbacking to Fate Zero

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 25, 2025 21:48:23

Also got Ines again, thanks Ines. (She and Hoederer really were like "Oh man a Rhodes Island without W! What a perfect place to retire!" /j)

Ordeal Call note: I can only imagine how Rider is reacting to everything that is going on rn lol. Bro is trying so hard to be a robot (he's the worst type of person to try to be a robot)
Btw, the shared theme between his Master and him is suicide, so that's...not a good sign.

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 25, 2025 21:50:12

Read "Ines" as "Toes" somehow.
So, "Also got toes again." Like suddenly I lost all my toes or something.

Anyways, my mom saw Naira and Lucina and pointed and said "Gay" and yeah. She is so right.
(Gotta love her seeing Lucina as a guy. As you may be able to infer, I screwed up.)

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 25, 2025 22:03:29

Caster's monster kinda reminds me of uhhhh.
Yeah I'm just not gonna say it.
I thought Beast IV's design was a bit out there. 'parently not.

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 26, 2025 12:47:25

Tfw you keep seeing the wind as being a theme relating to ephemerality when your favorite character's NP lines have him go "I will keep singing until my body scatters in the wind":

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 26, 2025 15:46:19

Gotta love everyone gaslighting Rider's judgement (fair. his judgement was questionable)

Gonna deploy the Nagesh one of these days. Retroactively.

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 27, 2025 15:52:52

NP5 Changgong, let's go.
The grail from this chapter is going to him.
So basically I need another 5 copies of him to get to 120. Not gonna put an "end me" joke because I don't want to jinx it right now but...yeah. (Let's hope the Servant coin refund update comes soon lol, assuming I even have enough EXP to begin with...maybe I should start farming for Saber embers with all my apples :') )

Also, I promised (ik, ik, he's fictional. Still.) that I'd make two designs if he came, so...guess that goes to priority? Plus two art pieces ig lol.

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · May 28, 2025 00:29:06

I always find it funny when some people are like "The Japanese aren't that inclusive...you can't expect them to be so straightforward about LGBTQ+ things" when it comes to anime ships and then Fate is like "MEDUSA IS BI. (and gay for Sakura specifically)"
Actually, a lot of Fate characters are bi. Or pan, I imagine.

But anyways, orientations aside, Ordeal Call I opinion.
Imo: It's better than mid, by a lot. I think it served its purpose, and that it's hard for the first chapter in anything to be good. In fact, I actually like it more than a few Lostbelts.
How do I rank the Lostbelts, you ask? How could you ask such a thing of me. Smh. ~~LB 6 supremacy~~
Anyways, I'm seeing the chapter as like a second Interlude for Changgong. I think it's a nice addition to Fate's take on his character. And for the way he was handled...I'm satisfied, honestly, even if Rider's existence was to make a point.
Gonna hug him like a sloth clings to a tree for a few days lol. (I wonder what even is Xu Fu and Yu's canonical reaction to me lol)

Ironically enough, I feel like everything else others disliked, I was fine with. Not sure if I liked the same things as they did though. For instance, others seem to like Lancer's pair a lot, but I was actually more "eh" on that one. My favorite pair was Berserker.
