I was going to joke that "it's fall break! Time to beat up Myu", but then I brought a random heckin' team into the fight and Kanon cheesed it just by the fact that he gets an extra Galaxian Explosion every time you pwn one of his teammates
So he got it done within 2 turns after Myu vomited all over everyone else :skull:
Bye Myu 👋

Mu: I see, like a butterfly, you have various forms--
Myu: Hmph, that's right. Now behold...my final form!
Mu:
Mu: did you know that most butterflies live only a few days after hatching from their cocoons
Myu: what
Mu: what...part of that was not understandable, Papilion?Â

True to lore, we then proceeded to beat him up with zero casualties (brought God Cloth Mu for the funnies, also because idk how to use him very well)

I must admit that I have no way to manifest Ulpianus except for admiration of his very cool hat
I really dig the Abyssal Hunter aesthetic. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that before but...yeah. And I am very grateful that he tried to help out in IS 5 once.
The problem is that I have no EXP left lol. Or Guard chips. But I do have like 3 multis (lol) (please come) (he's probably not gonna but I can hope, can't I?)
Also kinda thinking about the EXP requirements for F/GO level 120,,, again,,, lol
I'm doing some rank-ups for no reason other than that I enjoy F/GO animations, but man, the lag to get in is pretty bad. I also kinda forgot when the next Lanling Wang rateup is, so I looked it up and apparently there are whole spreadsheets dedicated to rate-up banners lol.
I also managed to squirm right back into pseudo-QP hell, which is very neat because it's just F/GO shenanigans, I guess.
Anyways, next Changgong rate up is April of next year, but some funds are going to escape since I have to pull for F/SR Saber, and possibly Ruler Kagetora too. Probably 2 multis for each at most, but savings haven't been going well since I can't do many events because of lag and time constraints. Looks like I'll have a few chances though, since Ordeal Call I's banner will probably come around sometime.Â
SSA: For some reason the possibility of even getting Yoma by accident is preventing me from trying to pull at all on his banner. This happens every single time. I guess I hold a grudge on behalf of Defteros. Either that or I throw some sort of shade toward him

I slept like an absolute corpse yesterday night, but the reason was that I was committing warcrimes or whatever. So it didn't really help with the quality
I'm noticing that devving forum!Galaxian does NOT help with my morality lol. But something something real personality shows up in dreams something. Ego id something.

Hakuouki stuff is randomly coming back up in my feed
All I can remember atm (other than Saitou, I still love him lol) is that Hijikata's slow burn was a bit too slow for most of the anime lol
Bro really wasn't into the entire otome plot until he got forced to clock in (this is why I prefer Heisuke /j) (technically I really do like Heisuke and ship the MC with him more than anyone else, but also...I don't really know the others very well ngl)
Wonder if Ellis and Heisuke would get along as the resident youngest guys of their groupsÂ

I remember nothing about demon dude other than that I swore that I will always make fun of him, and apparently Heisuke will just do it with Chizuru (dude can't stop winning)

Update: I got Lee and Vulpisfoglia in the same multi lol
The Parents (TM)
I love Ingrid and I think Lee is charming, so win-win. Plus I've seen his skills being used for Shenanigans. I love Shenanigans.Â
Still out of EXP but oh well.
He has cool yellow gloves lol.
Obligatory link to his EP
It's really a vibe lol

I actually can imagine him and Ingrid being friends
Btw have I mentioned how sweet it is that Vulpisfoglia has dialogue referencing Japanese poems and the like? It really hammers in how her husband is from Higashi. I hope if he becomes playable (and ngl it feels sorta inevitable, their family popularity is too high), he also references elements from Italian/Siracusian culture

Apparently I have the shirtless skin for God Cloth Aiolos
The only reason I know is because his birthday event is here and he's shirtless in his chibi too :skull: bro please. I'll buy you clothes. Please.
Also went through a few more skin previews because I am very sane, and got pwned by Saga's sakura skin
Bro twins with Kanon but has to add a dash of aura farming for no reason
Also Aphrodite's helmet skin goes unnecessarily hard ngl. Bro does acrobatics (meanwhile I'm staring at Camus' fashion sense...I think bad fashion sense runs in the zodiac sign ngl,,,)

Emotional damage.
Anyways, I was gonna type this out on a personal doc, but I might as well spam more.
I was thinking about how the Gold Saints in canon just call each other by their names, but that wouldn't be totally accurate for the AU.
Mitsuharu is the most fun example to think of. He has a work and casual mode, so in work, he'll call other Gold Saints and any Saints older than him by their name and the suffix "-sama". Basically, he views everyone as his superior cursed thought of him calling anyone "-senpai" lmiaoooo I'm gonna stop thinking., so he addresses them as Lord something-or-other. Pronoun-wise, he'd also use "anata".Â
When he's not on duty as an active Saint, he usually calls others by their name and the suffix "-san", omitting it for people who have a preference for that.Â
In GGaD, Rai doesn't use suffixes for names but uses "anata" for most people, and he doesn't add "-san" either. The habit in SS is mostly from the Sagittarius Saint, Katsura.Â
In Spanish, this would translate to Mitsuharu using "usted"/"ustedes" while on duty along with honorifics, taking the honorifics off when he's off work (but still mostly using usted/ustedes).Â
Vilhelm calls most everyone by their name, except for Dion, who he would call "Sensei-sama" in Japanese (he does this on purpose, not to cringe others but mostly because he likes things in excess). "Lord Teacher" lol. Similarly, he calls the Pope at least two titles each time. "Your Holiness Lord Pope". He does this for the funnies. He would probably call Mitsuharu "Haru-chan" for the funnies, though, which probably will kill me faster than it will kill Mitsuharu.Â
Spanish equivalent: Wiley has a tendency to overuse formalities in every language while not speaking in a very formal way. This means that he would intermix casual use of "usted" with "vosotros" thrown in for whatever reason instead of "ustedes". He also doesn't use honorifics, so yeah. This holds true for SS, with some exceptions--like how he speaks to enemies, for instance, but that's a whole other post for everyone waiting that I kinda want to keep to myself lol.Â
In Japanese, Raez calls a lot of people "-san" just because he finds it cute and he kind of just addresses people in an endearing manner, but he'll quit it if you ask him not to or if he can discern that you don't like it. It's best to tell him rather than count on him being able to tell. He calls people older than him by "-sama", but the reason is because that's Eibhlin's habit. Normally, he would just speak in a semi-deferential manner and that'd be that. In Spanish, he'd barely be able to generalize when to use honorifics and "tu" vs. "usted", but he's ok polite about it and I don't see him being totally fluent in the language no matter how much he learns it (same goes with Japanese), so maybe that conveys itself somehow.Â
He normally calls his friends by name, but he continues using honorifics if they like it. Honestly, I think he just finds it cute lol. Not sure how much he actually understands the hard and soft rules. He calls Eibhlin "Eibhlin-san" on-duty, and "Eily" off duty if that illustrates anything.
GGaD!Raez doesn't really do all this. Different environment and all that. His manner of speech probably comes off as being rather aggressive even with all his facial and body language cues. He's also very capable of actually amping up the aggression factor. What do I say--he's just much better at going toward one end than the other.Â
And Katsura is a fun one because I do not know enough about Japanese and Spanish for this. He speaks real politely to anyone, and defaults to "-san", but if you're okay with it, he'll slot in "-kun", "-chan", etc. The Pope is "Kyouko-sama" (Lord Pope), but he says it sorta casually comparatively. He's cognizant enough of all the linguistic/cultural rules to be able to switch between pronouns. For instance, he'd be able to pull off personal pronoun switching depending on context ("boku" vs "watashi" vs "watakushi"), switch between "tu" and "usted" based on the situation, etc., though I can't really see him saying "y'all" in English lol. Take of that as you will. I just think it'd be funny. He would probably parrot it off Vilhelm saying it once and freak half of the other Gold Saints out.Â
So for these guys, the ways they address the others is:
-Mitsuharu:Â
-> Lord Vilhelm ("-sama"), Lord Raezel ("-sama"), Lord Katsura ("-sama"); may substitute with constellation names (e.g. "Lord Gemini") depending on situation
-> Vil (no honorifics), Eh-san, Katsura [typically no honorifics]
(the casualness of everything in the second row is kinda throwing me for a loop ngl lol)
-Vilhelm:
-> Miss. Haru (this kills me every time I type it) or Haru-chan, Raez/the usual food nicknames, Katsura or Katsudon (thank you Specter/Dion), + his "Sensei-sama" lol
-Raez:
-> Vilhelm or Vil (no honorifics), Katsura (with or without "-san", depends on...things), Mitsuharu or Mitsu-san
-Katsura:
-> Raez-kun, Haru-san, Vilhelm-kun
My guys kinda cringe ngl (not you Katsura. You're fine)

In any case, I love GUDA-GUDA making it so that the double crossing gets enough to where you could make a coherent braid.
Also kinda finished the rerun of Path of Life in 2 days lol. I did pretty much everything last time, so I guess I'll just wait for the S stages.Â
I love Reed Alter.

Not gonna lie, there are a weird number of insults based on retirement pensions coming from this event and for some reason, they are all coming from the same guy.
Dude is really ticked off what happened to him in his life lol (honestly I can't really blame him for this part specifically...RL Shinsengumi was shady as heck without all the otome/gacha game whitewashing)

Gonna burrow away for a bit, so please count this as an inactivity notice. I have just this weekend left before I have to dive back into finals, and I guess I'd rather just go all out in my own lil space.
But before I forget, I've been thinking about something Beni-Enma said in LB 7 a lot. I even have it screenshotted.
"The heart can be fickle. Even the smallest thing can grow into an impassable rift.
So if you need to ask something, then ask it. If you need to apologize, then do it! Once you've grown distant, nothing you say will ever bridge that gap.Â
Every encounter in this life is precious. When you get an opportunity to talk, you can't be afraid to take it."
With a chirp at the end, obviously. (I love the sparrow.)Â
Well, the truth is, that's already something that I know and try to practice. I use a lot of words to compensate for what I'm otherwise lacking--that's the way it's always been for me. But I can't help but notice that it just isn't enough. In that case, what use are all these words, really?Â
It's tempting to try to erase something, but the marks will always be there, and life isn't so simple as switching out for another piece of paper.
Well, in any case, I'll dip for the time being. Happy holidays to everyone in case I vanish 'til beyond the New Year lol. And honestly, I do really love the poem in my signature, so I hope someone else also likes it. Even if I'm super lazy with the gradients.
