I dreamed that I was devving my characters (haha lol. you wish) and I was getting so excited about some kinda parallel between Saber and Berserker. It made no actual sense, especially now that I'm awake, but wow was I absolutely stoked about it for some reason. I kept repeating it to myself hoping I'd remember. Well, I only remember a bit of it, @Dream Me, and it makes no sense, so your motion is denied.

One AU we'll have Rensa and Kiaan in an AU where they can work together lol (best AU for Kiaan since there's no way in heck Rensa will let their usual Course of Things take place)

I think Arknights artists have a special skill for guys with pink hair
There aren't many examples of it but when it is done, it's done very well imo.

Now that I think back on it, I should've given Raez pink hair and orange eyes /j
(*eyes SS Raez*) do you want pink hair dye. (Sistema got hair dye so it makes sense that Vilhelm would go around trying to convince people to dye their hair)

GalaxianExplosion · May 3, 2026 19:20:14

Me: Wow Vilhelm and Dion have a comparatively wholesome dynamic, don't they!
Vilhelm: (*goes around trying to get all the Gold Saints to dye their hair so that when Dion wakes up the next day on his birthday, everyone looks different but also Vilhelm will go around pretending like nothing happened to try to gaslight his teacher on his birthday*)

This is why Dion doesn't sleep (lol)

In my defense, Vilhelm is wholesome in the sense that he's the best Wiley to call if you're sick. That's the highest standard I can hold him to. (The other Wileys raid your fridge in front of you while you're sick; Vilhelm will ask you what you have in your fridge and then hightail it over after you're asleep to stock it with stuff he bought for you. And to eat whatever you said he could have out of the fridge)

(Hope you enjoy eating vegetable jello for the next 2 weeks btw. 'Cause that makes up a huge chunk of what you bought for you)

In his defence, he probably grew up thinking that oil that solidified at room temperature is Jello the brand

Apparently Tangtang's EP was so poorly received that it got taken off of pretty much every platform
I have no opinion on the matter except that it's kinda funny, but in general, it's pretty obvious that Endfield's music has a pretty large variety when it comes to quality. On one end you have familiar artists like STARSET making "We Are Empire" (total banger), and other artists recruited to spread the word, and then the EPs are...really really varied. Some of them feel like fragments of a song that ended before they were supposed to. For instance, I personally really liked Rossi's "My World", but even then, it kinda just...ends, and I'm thrown off by it every time.
Then you have in-game music, which from what I can tell, is pretty nice. The boss themes are acceptable. Nefarith's theme is a banger, though somewhat Genshin-coded to me (idk). And the Endmin's theme ("Last Frontier") is so awesome. I do think it's nice that the game might be trying to increase the diversity of who they hire and see what sticks with the fanbase, though it's not as consistent as Arknights in terms of what actually comes out.

The visuals team is probably the same. I think Tangtang is funny, but I do not like her design lol (gameplay is awesome tho). It probably says something that my favorites are from Arknights. And the 3-D format really makes the advantages of a 2-D storytelling format pop. NPC design does not stand up as well when you keep seeing them all over the world, not just in cutscenes.

Imagining F/DA Saber just lying down on their stomach and looking up at you with some kinda cute expression. Idk. Dying

Sometimes I'm like "why in the world does this Congress webpage keep on trying to verify my identity. What does it think I'm doing on it." and then I actually look at the tab and it's about legalization of drugs along with 30 other tabs about legalizing drugs. It's for a homework assignment, but I guess it's fair.
On that topic, today I got hit by the absolute whiplash of seeing an article that I explicitly remember seeing 13 years ago. (I was not as good at reading as I am now. There is joy in not being able to understand words. And yes, I remember exactly why I was Googling drug legalization as a little kid.)

I don't think I'd use the word skrunkly often but if I did, I'd use it for Saber
They're some kinda combo of moth, ladybug, mouse, bat, seal, and worm and normally I wouldn't really think of those labels with "cute" ~~or so I say for demonstration purposes~~ but I do for them. They are so cute. They're fluffy and have big ol eyes that stare at you with no thoughts in them (usually) and they'd fly around haphazardly for no reason (maybe at the light) with lil wings or get washed out onto the sidewalk on a rainy day and just lie there. I love them so much you don't understand

I remember 2 years ago or whenever I'd realized Kiaan is autistic, I came across a Tumblr post where they were like, "Please do not characterize autistic people as being cute just because they are autistic. We also do stuff like use slurs and make mature jokes. It is dehumanizing to be seen as childish just because we have autism"

And anyways I just say this to mean that they are cute by themselves. I cannot help it. But I hope that it isn't demeaning to those of you guys with ASD. I didn't mean it ):
If it makes you feel any better, Kiaan also has a thing where they usually grow up in a very unhealthy environment and it brings out their entire thing of how they are really really good at hurting people ~~wow that doesn't help at all does it~~

That OP from Tumblr would probably dropkick me ngl

DwI think OP meant it as in infantilization, not just calling people cute 😭

Today, I learned that double factorials exist.
Their existence is intuitive, I've just never seen them in a problem before.

Sometimes I get upset (metaphorically) that I introduced you guys (especially Specter and Echo) to F/GO rather than Arknights. The reason is that Arknights bakes in teamwork events. It literally would've been no work setting up fun events to play together. But noooo, I had to introduce them to hecking Fate Grand Order. Sure it's cool that I have a level 100 Prince of Lanling. Sure it's cool that Echo has a level 102(?) Hektor. So what. You don't get to play football with your friends and fumble the ball (literally) together. Smh.
One of my biggest fails honestly (and that's saying a lot)

You know how a few years ago I said I was good at biology out of all the sciences?
My professors were kind enough to inform me that to be good at biology, you need to have a thorough understanding of physics and chemistry.
Soo...I am not good at anything.
Amazing! Outstanding even!

Please clap. :')

Funniest Endfield comment I've seen so far has to be "NOOO MY BELOVED GOT SIGNORAED BY ANOTHER RANDOM ASIAN LIGHTNING WOMAN"

In both cases, I have to say that they were asking for it.

Got both of Ascalon's modules, levelled both to level 3, and am working on specializing her first skill to level 3.
Basically, I am making her even better at mass murdering the enemy.

I have full trust in her judgment for no reason. Also, I would do the same for Hitan if he were a gacha game character. Gotta do the same for his spiritual twinsie (I have no canonical basis to be saying such things)

Ambryll is really the most average-looking person in the West --the sleep-deprived, barely average-looking blob of existence who can't proportion rn (or ever, but particularly rn)

They're also Eastern European so idk how that works.

I'm also getting severe SS!Raez brainrot, which is really helpful. I guess it has to do with Physics or Math? Just Ambryll is ok, thanks. (Raez has an annoying tagalong)

I think it's pretty funny how the Not-Quad Squad members just confuse each other in different flavors
They're confuddled. Bamboozled even.

I think Rai is particularly funny because everyone except Wiley finds him weird (ofc, Dion probably thinks of him as being more commonsensical, but there are still moments where Dion has no idea what this dude is on about)

I need to draw the Squad again sometime this year lol

"Story 2" from Cibuxing is on my hitlist. I just can't find it...just kidding! I just found the official upload lol.
It's called "陽關已遠" (in Traditional Chinese), "Yang Guan Yi Yuan" (the Yang Pass Is Past). The Yang Pass is associated with bidding farewell to the past, so I guess it evokes saying goodbye to past losses and moving on.

Zither zither zither zither...

There was an AMV of Lost Canvas titled something like "LOST CANVAS - PREDESTINATION" that was taken down many years ago and, of course, the title of the song was not, in fact, "Predestination".
Apparently I've heard "Predestination" from Fairy Tail before though. I gotta say, from what I've heard of the track there, it's really good (from what I've heard from SS AMVs lol). I have no interest in the story though. It feels like AgK! vibes-wise but if the authors were interested in helping most everyone survive. Which is not a good analogy.

Pinterest is really like "yeah just throw whatever at 'em, they'll save anything under the Sun for Ambryll at this point"
Also it sometimes forgets that every single outfit in Sunny's folder has a dress and recommends outfits with only pants for some reason.
