Btw, getting more copies of Changgong would be useless at the moment because...I am missing embers. I know I stuffed around 400 into Second Archive way back, but rn I only have around 490 or so left in my gift box. I'm pretty sure I used around 400 for the most recent 2 levels.
That's okay, honestly I'm more than happy. I've only come to appreciate Fate's take on his character more and more over the years, even if they haven't included some details. Well, that's the fun in personal headcanons, right? So it's more than fine, really.
Maybe I'll get him to level 120 by the game's end of service? :')

On that note, truly lapsing into inactivity. More moving around, and also I'm not sure when I'll get internet again. Sometimes I might have it, but don't count on it.
Honestly the way things are going, I might have to skip ArtFight, which kinda sucks. But that's okay. My bad for procrastinating on prep work for forever.
Please assume I'm functionally inactive until I say otherwise. In the meantime, I'll keep working on AUs like a maniac lol. Bye-bye and take care.

Cackling over how the Alternate meeting thread is like the epitome of evidence for half of the group having ADHD
Actually it’s me forgetting everything as soon as a month passes. And lack of reading comprehension. Neither is very good lol.
(I think it’s heckling funny how it’s probably Nagesh who feels like he suddenly got ADHD just because of how hard I leaned on him to try to keep the thread going. Unfortunately I made it stall instead…oopsie daisie. Man.)
That conjures the heckling funny thought of Nagesh beating Zouken up just to get distracted when he sees Shinji (thankfully even one swing/spell of his is super effective so no escape for the wormy old man)
I still think that dream was peak imagination on my part. Also making a post about it before Ordeal Call proves that I have Clairvoyance. I love you Nagesh (still can’t draw you properly tho. HELP)
I found out as I am currently, I can read old threads and feel better. Sometimes I read and my mood gets worse. That’s nice to know.
I should give some more nostalgia sketches a go. I like making those. Need to be more chill while working on them past the sketch phase tho.
Also hoping to figure some more stuff out. I am begging my emotional regulation skills to come back. Alas.

Nagesh is so funny for me because on one hand, he is ridiculously capable and mature. On the other, he really is like an old person in a 25-year-old-looking form.
Hopefully sometime in the future I can better encapsulate Galaxian’s relationship with the group. Last time they got a thread (the only time) I pwned him with plot going on as soon as he decided he could chillax a little. He does not deserve this.

My mom keeps accidentally seeing me draw gay couples (well. Kinda. Anyways), so now every time she sees me draw a pair of characters, I tell her, “Oh btw these two are just friends, not a couple” and she’s like “Ok but I wasn’t even thinking about that”
Still cackling over her reaction to Naira and Lucina (I was like “they gay” and she was like “yeah. Yeah I can see that. They are touching noses” as if cats don’t touch noses to express affection. She right tho.)

I think it'd be funny if characters dream of things their other-universe counterparts do
Like canonically, it happens and they're like "Wow what a funny thing my mind has conjured"
GGaD!Wiley thinks the Fate stuff going on is hilarious (his other personas do not think that way)
Apparently in alternate universes, I keep getting murdered. Sad.
@Time - please tell GGaD!Time to stop scrapping with my little guy bro. Some friendly fighting is okay but this is like the third time this month he's come after me/us with a sword for some random vague reason. I don't even think about him much lol

Oh yeah I got Tecno and Thorns Alter within 2 rolls, so...now I have the very cursed fact that Raez and Wiley are the perfect Thorns catalyst (seafaring stuff coupled with alchemist stuff, apparently)
Apparently if you add an Englishman and a Russian guy together you get a Spaniard (/j?)
Logos hates me for not drawing Helge or Hitan
I also realized that Surplice Saga and Shura coming was their way of telling me that AE Surplice not coming was because of Camus refusing.

Worry not, I just had to do it a third time and got 400/400 <3 (lol I only have the patience for Arknights apparently)
Have I mentioned how much I love Kagetora, Ryouma and Oryou, Karna, Changgong, Artoria Caster, Ushiwakamaru, etc. etc.?
Next target is Summer Castoria btw. Do I suck at using Berserkers? Yeeees...oh well.

June 11! A perfect time to make this post.
I rewrote the post 3 times btw lol.
1) I will no longer be on Discord. If for some reason you have to write a message there to me because it's easier to search for or whatever, let me know over here, and I'll go over there. Otherwise, expect total radio silence starting right now.
Also just to clarify, "total radio silence" includes reading messages over there. I will not be replying over there.
2) A lot of stuff has been going on this past half-year. IRL, whenever I'm swamped with emotionally tasking stuff, I tend to repress it in favor of pragmatism, or "actually fixing the problem" so to speak. Unfortunately, the emotions are still there.
7 years ago, when I first joined the forums, I thought that I could create a pretty neat online persona who others could interact with and come to be friends with. I did well during the OG forums era (cringe factor notwithstanding), but afterwards, after their dissolution, there have been many moments (public or not) that I've come to regret.
Moving forward, I hope to continue to stay on this forum, even if what I talk about has become rather mundane even to me. At the same time, I hope I can lessen some of my expectations. It's good and well to say that everyone is busy, and another to continue anticipating certain things while saying that. While it might lead to me lacking initiative, I think I will do better with a comfortable silence in this area.
3) By the way, if any of my posts are annoying, just let me know lol. Publicly or privately. A little public shame couldn't hurt...right?
But seriously, I've become used to talking to myself. Or I guess, it's always been that way. So I don't mind adjusting habits a bit back to default.
So pretty much, nothing much has changed?
If we ever get the chance to connect again as a group (i.e., our availabilities all happen to line up), I'd be super happy to help organize and stuff! But on a personal basis, this is what has formed from my preferences.

God Cloth Shura came
Between God Cloth Aphrodite, Odysseus, Surplice Shura, and Surplice Saga, man, I can't wait to turn my brain off!
God Cloth Hyoga also came (he came first) btw.
Between these two, a quarter of the game budget went into their introduction animations lol.
Anyways, can't wait to give Hyoga even more headpats Hyoga and Shun bias moment
Also got pwned by Dohko jumping off from a waterfall without leaving a note for his apprentice. Apparently Gold Saint masters just do not communicate.

Love when F/GO gives up on giving any reason for event story and is just like "'Kay this is happening NOW! Into the Rayshift pod you go!" and then wow, you are doing a castle event.
It's lagging again so my motivation is sagging lol. (plus I hate timelock on Servant usage)

See, I get prayer because it's like asking for direction on where to go, but I also don't get prayer because it feels like if you don't get what you asked for, you got ghosted by someone you believe in.
Like for me I talk to my ancestors but I fully believe they don't give a heck most of the time because they were hecking busy in their lives and want to use their afterlife to party. That doesn't exactly apply to deities who have a lot more time on their hands. Like infinite time or whatever.
What I am trying to say is that I appreciate that it's canonical in Chinese mythos that the gods in general are goobers. They party all day most every day (maybe some errands to show off occasionally but that's it), and every day up there is a year. So by the time your mail of "plz help" gets to them (since the postage service up there also goes to parties) you are dead dead.

I still think it's adorable that the Prince of Lanling was pretty much an idol in his time
In a wholesome way too in terms of how his people saw him. They made up 100+ stories of him just being too good for the world
Unfortunately that kinda killed him tho. Classic "the people are also too innocent [generally speaking]" moment
On one hand I love him for being so wholesome/pure of heart, on the other I just. Feel so bad. Because his nature is literally why his story became a tragedy. If he weren't so loyal and devoted to things he should have done, he maybe would have had a better outcome. Actually, him and his one normal uncle both lol. They both deserved better.
Tfw you're punished for being too virtuous.
Shoutout also to Hulu (v) Guang. Bro did not deserve the propaganda against him. Prime example of how understanding politics actually gets you nowhere when you have to deal with bastards who will kill you out of spite despite how much you've done for your country, and who will plot against you for even going against their will. Hecking doomed by the narrative IRL

You could say that I'm doing Silver/Bronze Saint dev...but actually I'm just imagining like 30 people at a karaoke place.

I think it'd be funny if one of the Chinese immortals becomes a Servant in Fate and they're an Archer. Why? Because they throw a tower at you.
Now that I think of it, Galaxian is definitely still Chinese since he thinks putting people in a box (tower) would solve problems. He ain't wrong tho. Unless you're against Sun Wukong, in which case you just created a new problem (broken tower waa)

This song randomly found me and now every time it comes on I imagine the Not-Quad Squad vibing to it (actually it's RIP!Dion being annoyed to the tune of it. Dude is trying to play his video games while the other three dance around him)
It's also really hecking funny to imagine Raez doing the voiceover. For some reason him saying "GAS MASK" is infinitely hilarious to me
Rai dancing is also sending me into hysterics (like Wiley, he also does robot dancing, and he's better at it . It's still hecking funny tho)
I really need to make an active Rai who's younger (excluding forum him, who has to keep his composure for the sake of...everyone), dude is hilarious

I appreciate the RRW Triad because I have no idea how these dudes would ever get in a relationship, but also I ship two of them with each other and Rai somehow has a girlfriend (sort of) so uhh.
Also every time I bring up how non-committal Wiley and Raez are, Wiley says, "Do you see this dude even spending time with his girlie" and points to Rai, and then I have to admit that he's right. That part I don't like very much (at all).
At least SS will help with that (????????)
Tfw the shyest character and most unnecessarily mysterious hecker are shipped for some reason.

Sometimes I be listening to Chinese songs like "If others listened to this they would understand why I like monogamy"
(Slight joke, but I've considered the topic and this is probably legitimately why, amongst other reasons. Like history)
Gotta love the longstanding cultural trope of someone being willing to wait hundreds of thousands of years for their beloved it's me. This is literally Xenia
+ Gotta love the idea of tragic couples being able to reincarnate into a better life where they can continue their bond
Also since this is a half-serious post, I'm legit mentioning this 'cause apparently a lot of people online don't consider AUs to be the same person (guess which fandom is prompting me to see this discourse lol). Idk if a large part of it is because of Chinese cultural stuff, but for me, AUs are usually 100% the same person unless mentioned otherwise. Stories from AUs also are as important as "canon" too. Reincarnations as well.
A big part of it can be seen in how I represent "loyalty" as Galaxian's domain. I hecking love the idea of "yuan" and you can pull that out of my cold dead hands. Like yes, I am asking you to prolong this friendship in another universe, but no, it's not just because they're cute, this is a very serious thing, this has to do with the core of their characters. This has to do with deepening the meaning of their relationship and stories as a whole. This (*gets yanked back to the asylum*)

Guess which couple I'm agonizing over (it's Zhuye)
For some reason, my mind is rotting over this pair.
It's the one pair where I slightly ugly cry when I look at their canon material, but the emotional turmoil is worse when I think about it on my own for some reason. AGH.
Btw, in terms of HYXHN, I also really enjoy Dongfang Yuechu and Tushan Honghong, and also the "Red-Eyed Lady" with Mu/Yang Mie. And a bunch of minor CPs lol. Apparently I really like emotional turmoil.
Fugui and Qingtong are cute, but I keep remembering how Wang Fugui literally impaled her, so.
(I think for Western audiences that would have doomed his entire character...or maybe not???)

Yesterday I remembered that Milo went through the entire thing of judging Kanon on the behalf of the entire Sanctuary (dude is self-appointed) and the entire "I see no enemy here, only our comrade, Gemini Kanon!" then hours later Kanon is like "Athena, here is the dagger to kill yourself with" right in front of Milo lol.
I mean, Kanon did go on to solo a quarter of the underworld while Milo played Frozen Beauty with his pals, but I wonder what Milo was thinking at that moment here
