What Flavor Is Your Soul?

Tagging: @acquarius-saint / @hades-kami, @cpirits (for Seiya and Shiryu!), @shouxryuuxha and @featherchan (your picks!!)

salt

ah little kraken, bold are you. restless sailor, dauntless fighter, lower your sword, let me see your shield. ah, of course, they are but the same object. oh wave-tossed ruffian, lend me some of your mettle would you? you have been struck by the sharpest of spears yet you still stand here proudly. but off your guard, elsewhere of the battlefield, you will find your spirit can parch others. your words are but weapons crafted from your soul. little lion, sheathe your claws, or the ones you love the most will suffer. you do not have to be strong all the time love, there's nothing wrong with being soft. vulnerability is not weakness, and if it were, what's wrong with that? strength is not always your greatest tool, your heart is good. put down excalibur, and use your words. you'll find they will carry you much farther. not everything in life is a battle.

rosemary

ah, the old soul, nice to meet again. the time of ages is etched into your bones, you see clearly. you've watched the heartache in this realm and sworn to solve it. but kindness without limits is self destruction. oh little leaf, strong and wise, you seek to bring peace with your presence. I'd be wrong to say you fail at this effort, but you mustn't set yourself on fire to keep others warm. you wish to please everyone, to protect them all. but if you shield the saplings from the sunlight they will never grow, and you one day will wither. protect yourself too. you know there are no happy heroes, so don't be one. be a friend. your loved ones will not forsake you for not being perseus slaying all their demons. you have your own monsters, why not meet them first before you conquer anyone else's nightmares. oh true-hearted paladin you are brave, and you are good enough. you know that right? be true to yourself, one cannot do anything saintly if they did not tend to their own wounds first.

Decided to some little shipping game.

Explanations:

Ship That I Loved At First Sight

I don't know how to explain, I just love them so much, maybe it's their similar age and matching zodiacs, but they are my babies. Fight me if you don't like them!

Ship That I Initially Didn't Like

HyoShun, it's not like I was "ew, what a disgusting ship", but I found it to be quite overrated. It's still not my Top 3 ship, but I grew very fond of it

Ship That I Never Liked

The original was ship that I no longer like, but I don't have it in StS, I'm still faithful to all my ships. But I do have ships that I hate, the Top 1 being Shura x Camus for two reasons: one, they don't have chemistry or any interesting interaction to spark a wish to ship them in me. Two, if I had to choose someone to have some close relationship with Shura, it would be either Deathmask, Aphrodite, Aiolia, or even Saga or Aiolos, but Camus, really?

Favorite Popular Ship

Maybe Mu x Aldebaran is not that popular as Mu x Shaka (what is a shame, Mu and Aldebaran have a lot more chemistry for me), but I still think that this ship is quite popular, so I'm putting this one here.

Favorite Rarepair

Okay, it may be weird that I don't like Shura x Camus, but like Deathmask x Camus, but the reason is because Shura x Camus is forced as hell, mainly in SoG, where they are constantly trying to make us believe that they had some sort of friendship and that's why they were fighting, but guess what, they never had it in first place, so this conflict (and ship) falls flat. But with Deathmask x Camus, even tho they never interacted too, we got a moment of Camus mentioning Deathmask when the "Dark Trio" was heading to Cancer Temple, and this was... interesting. Plus, they would have much more chemistry with each other, Deathmask trying to make Camus be more lively and energetic, while Camus would teach Deathmask to be more calm and collected.

Controversial Ship

Tbh, I don't have it. The closest that I can think about is Hypnos x Thanatos, just to clarify, I don't ship them, but if I had to believe that some incestuous ship would happen, it would be between them because we know how Greek Gods are like with their relatives. But I won't say that I don't have the idea of Hypnos being the sub top, while Thanatos is a dom bottom 😶.

Ship That I Want To Become Canon The Most

Well, even tho I love Trash Trio, I can't deny that I see them more like just best friends (who may fuck sometimes, but still best friends), but Aiolia x Shura is actually really cute. The drama, dynamics, relationship that this couple would have is so juicy. SoG may have give us terrible, horrible ships (Shura x Camus, again; Aiolia x Lyfia; Deathmask x Helena; Dohko x Aldebaran), but Shura x Aiolia isn't one of those, I would dare to say that it's the best ship that SoG gave to us along with Deathmask x Aphrodite.

Comfort Ship

Again, Trash Trio, nothing new here.

Ship That Deserves More Attention

Ikki x Pandora actually is one of the few best straight couples from Saint Seiya. Ignoring the fact that Ikki smacked Pandora on the face, but this was because she was getting on his way to save Shun, so it's slightly understandable, what made me ship them is their final interaction: Pandora finally vents her problems to someone and trust on Ikki to avenge her real family, that Hades, Hypnos and Thanatos destroyed, in turn, we see that Ikki actually empathized with her, this short scene managed to be better developing some sort of romance (what wasn't even the focus) than a lot of love stories from media nowadays. Sadly it's overshadowed with some other ships like Ikki x Esmeralda, dude got infatuated with a girl who was identical to his younger brother, what is... ew, and Pandora x Radamanthys, poor Pandora, she deserves better than Radamanthys, I hate this bitch.

First OTP

That's easy, it was Seiya x Shun. Those two spend a lot more time together than with the other Bronzies, so it's easy for me to ship. I personaly like it more than Seiya x Shiryu or Shun x Hyoga, not saying that those two ships are bad, I like them and if you like them it's fine.

Current OTP

It has to be Saga x Aiolos, while Shion and Dohko where the kid Goldies granddads, Saga and Aiolos where their mother and father, respectively (Kanon was the uncle). I'm actually glad how popular this ship is, and pretty sure that Kurumada ships them too, otherwise all their gay interactions in Episode Zero wouldn't been happened in first place.

Saint Seiya - The Saga of the 12 Houses

Yesterday I started and finished the saga of the 12 houses and I guess it's time to give my opinion.

The saga is non-stop, with a 12 hour countdown with the main characters on the verge of death in every chapter.

But I liked it, I don't say it's perfect but it's well done, the main characters with their beliefs for Athena/Saori against the golden knights who have different points of view and ways of acting.

Mu is an ally who repairs their armour and then rescues Shaka and Ikki.

Aldebaran could have killed them from the beginning I have no doubt, but he clearly did not want to, nor did he attack them with full force.

The Gemini knight split them up and allowed the fighting to begin without everyone present.

Deathmask, Deathmask, Deathmask, what can I say about him? His only mistake was attacking Shunrei. If he hadn't attacked her Shiryu would be dead. Cancer's cloth wouldn't have left him if he hadn't attacked an innocent person who wasn't even on the battlefield. I don't know if he deserved to die or not, I mean he was a jerk but maybe he could have learned a little and been of some use.

Aioria was mind controlled but he is one of the ones who came close to killing one of the Bronze.

Cassios' death showed us that even if you don't believe in Athena that doesn't mean you're not a true knight (although let's remember that Cassios beheaded 9 people to get Pegasus' cloth).

Shaka could also have killed the bronze ones if it wasn't for Ikki. Although I find it very strange that Shaka is surprised that Ikki's cosmos increases when he is left without his senses, after all that's the same thing Shaka does. Actually that's something the Golden Knights do a lot, they have techniques that take away the senses and then are surprised that the cosmos increases. If I were them I wouldn't have techniques that cause that effect because it backfires in the end.

The house of Libra...that's the most out-of-context scene I've ever seen. The anime and manga are different and the anime doesn't explain it as well as the manga. Decades of complaining when he's just a friend almost sacrificing his life for his friend's life.

Milo, thanks to him Hyoga comes closer to the seventh sense and realizes that the Patriarch is not to be trusted and saves Hyoga (from the consequences of the Scarlet Needle). He also shows respect for Hyoga.

Aioros, he is dead and nothing will change that but his message helped the Bronze to continue with more strength.

Shura, he got tired of people fighting for their own selfish desires (or so I understood). I don't think he deserved to die. But in the end he saved Shiryu.

Camus, no offence but you were a bit of an idiot, telling your disciple not to be sentimental when you are more sentimental. You locked your disciple in the ice so he wouldn't die, that's very emotional. I understand that his duel to the death helped Hyoga become stronger, even though he ended up half dead. He still didn't deserve to die.

Aphrodite. Possibly many will disagree with me but I'm going to say it. I don't think Aphrodite deserved to die. Aphrodite joined the Patriarch because he believed that the strong were the ones who should rule(I disagree with that but to each his own) and killed Daidalos. Despite joining the Patriarch for thirteen years he did nothing to rule the world and as for Daidalos, we are told that Shun's master ignored the Patriarch's call and did not show up. Which is understandable but if you suspect there is something wrong with the Patriarch it is best not to raise suspicions, by not showing up, he brought his own death upon himself, Aphrodite was just doing his job plus he didn't kill June who was probably nearby. So yes, Aphrodite didn't deserve to die. But I have a big problem with him and that's that his demonic roses are a laugh, Seiya and Marin recover from poison easily so his poison is very weak, that's the only complaint I have.

And finally we come to Saga, after reading the manga it has cemented my opinion that Saga was the saint who believed in Athena the most, Saga is a man who lived tormented by something he tried but couldn't control, for years he lived with this burden and committed horrible acts, when Seiya meets him Saga tells him how to save Athena and if it wasn't for his evil side, Athena would have been saved sooner. Also the first chance he got he took his own life in an attempt to atone for his guilt. This does not atone for his guilt, nor does it forgive anything he did but it shows that he regretted it and was waiting for the moment to finally end it all.

Saga is a man who needed help but never got it, maybe because the other golden saints didn't care, maybe because they didn't notice anything or maybe because they believed that the way of Saga's evil side was the right way. But Saga desperately needed help and it took some 13 year olds to show up for him to finally get help.

But still Saga you're telling me that in those 13 years you didn't have time to bury Shion's body, you're telling me that you had to leave his corpse for 13 years on Star Hill, you really didn't even have a couple of hours to dig a grave for him.

So, after talking about the Golden Saints it's time to talk about someone who is also to blame for all this.

Shion, I like Shion a lot but that doesn't mean he wasn't flawed. Aiolos and Saga were not ready to be Patriarchs, neither of them. They were only 14 years old, a 14 year old can't run an organisation destined to protect the world. Because all they can think about is their hormones. I don't care that they are knights of Athena and that they received super hard training and that maybe they can deal with things that normal teenagers can't. But they are still only 14 years old. But they're still only 14 years old. Also Shion made the same mistake as Deidalos, he told Saga to his face that he felt evil in him, you're telling me you couldn't tell him to leave Star Hill because it was forbidden to be here, you couldn't tell him with people around(I'm not asking for the same room but still close).

And finally it's time to talk about the justice of each one. (This is just my opinion. Those who believed/seemed to believe in Athena: Saga, Mu, Aldebaran, Aioria, Milo, Camus. Those who believed that the end justifies the means: Deathmask.) Those who believed that strength is the most important thing: Shura, Aphrodite. Those who don't believe that there is absolute good and evil: Shaka.

Seriously I think Saga should have explained his problem or have others see it because his evil side is surely the cause of Shura, Aphrodite and Deathmask believing that strength is the most important thing.

I've left Saori for last but it's not like she had many moments, after all she had an arrow in her heart. But she still helped Shiryu in his fight against Deatmask and appeared a few times to support the Bronze Saints with words, that's more than many could do with an arrow in their heart.

I liked that the other Bronze Knights had their moment to protect Saori but what I didn't like is that the foot soldiers of the Sanctuary are real jerks, your goddess is the goddess of wisdom and you're telling me you're a bunch of idiots.

Gold Saints Job AU Ideas Part 1

Soooo, because I think many others are doing something similar to this and because I literally no other reason to other than ‘I just wanna have fun’, I figured I’d share my ideas as to what the Gold Saints might have as a job because whatever their reason is. Also, this is gonna be another long post, so fair warning, it’s gonna be two parts.

Capricorn Shura

Fencing Instructor- Shura with his connection to swords and being strong yet graceful, I could totally see him as a teacher for fencing; I can just imagine him in proper fencing attire already.

Spanish Teacher- Yep, really original with this one. Shura might be interested in something that deals with his homeland, so I can also see Shura teaching others about the history and language of Spain; I imagine him wearing his glasses while doing this job.

Aquarius Camus

Ski and/or Ice Stake Instructor- Because both have to do with the cold and because both have to do with skill, precision and a touch of grace, Camus would possibly take those as jobs; Also I like the idea of him in ice stakes, pls don’t judge.

French Teacher- Because yeah, if I’m gonna have one of Shura’s jobs as a Spanish teacher, you better be damned if I didn’t have Camus as a French teacher. I also think Camus would take the job as an opportunity to share to others about his culture, so I think it fits; I imagine him teaching while wearing a plaid scarf for some reason? IDFK.

Gemini Saga & Kanon

Saga

Astronomy Teacher- I mean, why not? If his attack deals with plants colliding and what not, it would stand to reason that he would be a teacher in astronomy; Plus we get Professor Saga, so win win.

Mythology Teacher- Other than yea, he works for a Greek goddess, why not, this job might also benefit him because he’ll not only have to know about the Greek and Roman stuff, but also other mythologies as well.

Kanon

Marine Biology Instructor- Kanon must have spent a long time near the oceans, so this job might be an easy fit for him; Plus he could use it to his benefit if Poseidon posses a threat again. Also, he would most likely look damn fine in a wet suit.

Beach Lifeguard- Another ocean related job! Other than being able to save someone because being the other Gemini Saint also requires you to save people, his job is basically like a vacation of sorts so, other than saving people, he can just sit down and relax until his shift’s done; Plus Lifeguard Kanon, imagine the possibilities.

Cancer Deathmask

Coroner and/or Embalmer- Both deal with death and that’s basically Deathmask’s thing, so he would probably take up these jobs if interested. I mean who else would do a better job dealing with the dead than someone who’s literally been at the entrance to the underworld?

Bartender- Dude already drinks like a fish, so why not give him a job that could make others drink just as much? Besides probably already knowing all the ways to serve a drink, Deathmask might also do well with Italian liquor as well; I think a bartender uniform will go great with his goatee.

Pisces Aphrodite

Botanist and/or Toxicologist- HA! YOU PROBABLY THOUGHT I WAS GONNA MAKE HIM A FLORIST, DIDN’T CHA? I think Aphrodite would work well in either field because both fit well with his character; Botanist study plants (Aphro’s ability with plant life) and Toxicologist study poisons (Royal Demon Rose, hello?). Plus it would probably make him more kickass in the long run.

Café Barista- Despite seeming like someone who wouldn’t even go to a coffeehouse, I think Aphrodite would be very interested at working in like a local café making coffee for other people to enjoy. Who knows? He might even get free coffee as one of the benefits.

[sanctum-of-fantasy]

@aphrodites-bloody-rose It’s that day again, it’s your birthday! So here’s a short fic to enjoy on this day!

Title: Worth More Than Bronze Series: Saint Seiya Character(s): Taurus Aldebaran, Pisces Aphrodite, Aries Mu, Kiki Word Count: 3072 Summary: Sometimes life hands you gold or lemons. Sometimes when you stop a black market from selling all kinds of magical animals and things, life hands you something else entirely. Aldebaran never looked back, even if looking forward presented a challenge.

“I found more crates in a truck bed” Aldebaran called out to Aphrodite who nodded and frowned as he watched the taller Saint placed them near a tent.

“This is such a mess” The Pisces Saint replied, sighing and tucking back several strands of hair behind an ear. “There’s so much here, most I don’t even know what it is or how they got it” and the entire thing left a bitter taste in his mouth.

Word had reached Sanctuary, as it always had with their advanced and deep networks, of a black market going to take place on one of the smaller islands of Greece. Normally, they would turn the matter over to the proper authorities but there was something strange about this one. Word was it was a market for the mysterious and fantastical, living or not and with that Athena sent Aldebaran and Aphrodite to handle the trouble with a small group of Sanctuary soldiers. They were to dress as civilians and investigate before calling in the guard.

A precaution that only turned to be for the best. They found the location and quickly realized how grave the situation truly was. Within a few minutes of observing the ‘market’ they had sent the signal and every dealer and buyer were arrested, save for a few that ended up as rose covered bodies. Aphrodite’s silent outrage was clear. They would handle the others later, until then they would stay locked away in one of Sanctuary’s prisons.

Which left the matter of the…stock, as if anything they found could be called that. There were animals, more like creatures as they were far too strange for that word. Birds with four long wings, lizards with stained glass like frills and crests, small griffon like ones that were no bigger than a medium-sized dog with peacock tails and long eel like creatures that flickered many colors in tanks. There were more too, as well as remains or bits of others. Pelts of furs, skulls and bones and then there were the jars. Clear things with labels such as ‘harpy’s talons’, ‘scales of a mermaid’, ‘venom of a manticore’ and an endless list of more.

If it was one small fortune the creatures had taken a liking to Aldebaran and didn’t peak, hiss or bite when the gentle Saint had refilled their food, water or stepped into their enclosures. Though it was clear to Aphrodite that the entire event bothered him, a deep sadness never left his eyes even as he lightly petted one of the peacocks like griffons as one of the four-winged birds sat on his shoulder.

For him, he had his own brand of bitterness and sorrow.

Besides the animals there plants, wild and exotic. Some were lined up in the sunlight while others were kept in the shadows. They called to him, asking for water or to moved just slightly towards the light or darkness. They were like nothing had had ever seen; a long vine bearing one that glowed in the shadows, one like a persian shield but with longer leaves in shades of blue and while, flowers that sounded like chimes when a breeze moved through them and another red flowering one that unfurled its petals and whispered a life among ladies in a city built in towering trees and lit lanterns before it had been stolen away when its captor tricked one lady into falling for him. Its sadness was clear, and he promised to return it to its right home as soon as he could. He gave it his name and it returned with its own; Nymph’s Heart.

They had sent a messenger bird after they had arrested everyone and received word back only a while ago. They were to spend the night, partly in case others came but mostly to watch over the beasts until of Sanctuary’s special contacts arrived to begin caring for…everything. The process of returning the animals to their natural environment, to sanctuaries or reserves would be a long one but worth it in the end. As for the plants, well…that would depend on the contact’s opinions and in the worst case, he always had room for new plants in his temple or gardens.

“If you want to switch, I can work on the list” Aldebaran said, resting a hand gently on his shoulder.

Aphrodite rubbed at his eyes and nodded, handing over the clipboard and pen “I’ll look over those crates then, we still have some daylight after all.”

“Of course, we have most things accounted for, I couldn’t find anything else besides those ones” He replied, gesturing over to where he laid them out. “First one was mostly jars of plants and er…odd books and scrolls, I didn’t open them.”

‘Those might be more aligned with Deathmask’s expertise’ Aphrodite thought, the Cancer’s library had been full of the stuff, an inheritance from those who came before him and he had taken a liking to the subjects. Then again, Shura had some as well though any books he had were an old, old form of Celtic they never could translate. ‘Well if the expert has little knowledge on them, we can deliver them to Cancer easily enough.’

Oh he could only imagine the glee on the Cancer Saint’s face when he returned with several dozen new tomes for him to devour.

‘Until then’ he thought as he pried open a crate ‘I best make sure there’s nothing we’re forgetting.’

Luckily enough, the crate held only items instead of living things. Small, clear boxes of palm sized crystals and rocks. Bolts of various cloths that shimmered, felt like ice to the touch, chain mail and another few that seemed to have runes etched into them.

“I don’t recognize these” Aphrodite sighed as he ran a thumb of one the bolts, rubbing the fabric between his fingers. It felt electrifying yet not painful, within him his cosmo stirred and seemed to brush forward towards it. “But I think giving these to Mu might be a good idea” He held one up for Aldebaran to inspect.

“That…that is odd” The Taurus agreed, eyes widening as he felt the same sensation and handed it back.

“To put it mildly” He nodded, slipping the bolt back into the crate and replaced its covering. “Now, let’s see what’s in the last one hm?”

The final crate was covered in chains and was lined with layers of blankets and straw on the inside, something completely different from the others they had seen and broken open. Aphrodite passed Aldebaran a “something is wrong” look as Aldebaran lowered himself beside him.

“Something important is in here” Aphrodite breathed. No one would put chains on the outside of something if they didn’t want someone to get in easily or for something to get out. Compared to everything else, who knew what that something was.

They dug slowly and carefully through the straw, tossing it to the sides as they went deeper in, until at last they stopped. A blanket wrapped something rested in the middle of the crate, larger than a football though a vaguely familiar shape.

Carefully, Aldebaran reached in and pulled it out. “It’s heavy” he noted before pulling back the blanket some and freezing.

Both Saints eyes went wide and Aphrodite covered his mouth with a hand.

It was sleek, like it was made of smooth metal that reminded them of their armor, yet the color was different. The shape was familiar because it was an egg, a heavy metal like egg.

“What creature could make this?” Aldebaran looked towards Aphrodite who shook his head.

“I have no idea, but something tells me we’re going to find out.”

----

Once they arranged everything in the shutdown market, the two saints retired to one of the tents they bought along with them and made themselves comfortable for the night. Well, as comfortable as they could considering one of them would be up part of the night before switching with the other. As for the egg, well Aldebaran had raised chickens before, and Aphrodite had hung around Shura long enough for some of his farm life experience had supplied some knowledge. They heated a blanket up by a fire and wrapped the egg in it entirely. They agreed that between keeping watch to make sure the blanket stayed warm as well.

Aldebaran had offered to take the first watch and currently sat by the crackling fire, arms crossed as he looked towards the night sky, the egg wrapped safe in a basket beside him. The sky was clear, and he could make out the stars making up several constellations, the weather was warm too as it usually was in Greece. It was peaceful in sharp comparison of the frenzy of the day.

Though it wasn’t an awful day, they stopped an illegal market from taking place, saved several creatures and hopefully would be to stop more from happening. It was also nice to interact with Aphrodite too, they rarely spoke unless they had too, what with their different social groups but he had always hoped to bridge any gaps that existed between him and the other Gold Saints.

The usual aloof but charming Aphrodite had shown a softer side of him today, not just through his words but in his actions. The horror he expressed when they first arrived, the anger to the people who dared to do such terrible things and then the sadness towards the creatures and plants. It was a rare to side but one he hoped just slightly to see more of.

“And then there is you” Aldebaran sighed as he took a sip of his still pipping hot tea and looked towards the egg. “Part of me hopes you don’t hatch too quickly; I fear we won’t know how to look after you properly. But then again, I can’t help but be curious to know what you are, can you blame me?” he chuckled.

Perhaps it was silly to speak to an egg, yet it was soothing to get his thoughts out of his mind.  “Though, hopefully you won’t be too dangerous-hm?” he paused, a sound reaching him and causing him to go on the alert.

An odd sound, like a chirp then followed by the basket shifting and-“Aphrodite!” he shouted, twisting around to see the lantern inside the tent light up before he focused back on the rocking basket.

“What, what? I’m awake!” The Pisces shouted, stumbling out of the tent and brushing his hair out of his eyes.

“The egg!” He replied as he pulled the basket on it his lap to steady it and pull back the blanket just in time as it began to crack. Sounds came forth like odd squeaks and cries as a paw-if that was a paw-began to claw at one side as another began to kick more at the metal like shell.

“Oh sweet heavens, now?” The Pisces gasped and returned with the lantern to shine over the Taurus’ shoulder as they watch an awe as a small form broken its way into the world.

A head poked and nudged at part of the shell before another part of the egg exploded out from the side as another appendage-a wing-broke out. As quick as it begun it ended as Aldebaran moved bits of the shell out of the basket as the creature did the rest of the work.

There was a long tail, four legs, a long neck for its size and two wings, a row of nubs adorned its head that would likely grown into a crest, in the light of the lantern it looked like it was covered in yellowish scales. It slide out of the rest of the shell before tripping on its wing and landed on its back, chirping as it stared up at them and they stared at it.

“Aldebaran…what is that?” Aphrodite whispered as he leaned over his shoulder more.

“I…I believe it’s a dragon” He replied, looking towards the other Gold Saint, heart beating hard against his chest. Questioned flew in his mind, how was it possible? Where did it come from? How did someone get it? Did the expert know anything about dragons? What were they going to tell Athena?

----

Two days later, Aldebaran found himself trying to hush his housemate and close a door.

“Shh, shh, I know you want to explore but not right now, I don’t know how Mu and Kiki will react to you yet” He said, voice even as he bent down to try and nudge the small, energetic creature inside “It’s only for a few minutes I swear.”

Every day since they returned from the mission had been busy and chaotic. The expert had arrived early in the morning just a few hours after the dragon had hatched. The animals, many endangered as it turned out, had been begun to be sent to safe places with trusted hands. The items in all shapes and forms were generally safe and the expert saw no harm and in allowing Sanctuary to keep them; tomes and scrolls to Deathmask, rocks and fabric to Mu, weapons to Shura and the plants…the plants went to Aphrodite’s expanding gardens.

And the dragon…to him.

It was a bronze dragon the expert told them, one of many breeds of dragons in their world. They were fond of warm weather, swimming and were more common in the Mediterranean areas. They were friendly he said, they loved people and rarely fought unless they had to, or they sensed an enemy was evil. They generally liked humans and often took the forms of them but the infant was too young to learn such a thing. It had been stolen away from a lair most likely, few people hunted dragons and even few hunted metallic ones. The expert had promised to do his best to find its family though that might take a while as dragons, especially bronze ones, were difficult to find.

And once he was the first thing the little one had seen; it would be difficult to have someone else look after it besides its parents. Until then, he was left with a handful of notes how what was safe to feed the baby dragon and things to watch out for, like odd gas from its mouth or bolts of lightening as that was apparently what bronze dragons breathed rather than fire.

Aside from Aphrodite, Athena, Saga and Aiolos, no one else knew of the dragon’s presence. Though part of him wondered if Aphrodite told Deathmask or Shura.

That was going to change today, as Mu wished to have lunch with him and young Kiki. It only made sense to him to let his lover know about the newest, temporary guest of the Zodiac Temples as Mu and Kiki had been away in Jamir until today.

Just as he finally shut the door, he heard Mu call out to him, Kiki sliding over a corner to run towards him.

“Alde! Alde you’re back!” He shouted as he ran and leapt to give him a hug as Aldebaran bent down to catch him.

“So are you short stack!” He laughed and stood up as Kiki hung on to one of his arms.

Mu only smiled and shook his head “And he didn’t want to get out of bed this morning.”

Kiki made a sound of disgust and stuck out of his tongue “But it was so early when we got back!”

“Tsk, Mu you know how bad jetlag can be” Aldebaran teased and chuckled as Mu rolled his eyes.

“but you know what does help with jetlag? Food, some of lunch is ready!” He said, swinging Kiki lightly towards the kitchen area. The kid gasped and let go just he swung slightly forward and dashed off to start digging into the food no doubt.

“Kiki, won’t eat everything!” Mu shouted, getting a drawn out “Fine” as a replied.

“He’s getting ready to hit another growth spurt soon” Mu sighed and rubbed at his eyes.

“It’s only natural, he’ll be a preteen before you know it” Aldebaran laughed only to jerk when he heard the dragon chirp behind the door.

“Alde? What was that?” Mu asked and looked around.

“Uh…must have been a bird?” He offered, silently stepped towards the door.

Mu gave him a hard, knowing look “Something is behind that door, isn’t it?”

“Yes! But I really ought to explain before I let it out-“

Too late, there was a sound of a door handle being broken and then there was the feeling of small, needle like claws grasping at his back as the dragon climbed up him and leapt off his shoulder. Mu gasped and took a step back as it moved, dashing off towards the kitchen in an awkward gallop, what with its tail and wings trying to trip itself once and while.

“Good heavens, what was that?” Mu shouted they bolted towards the kitchen, hearing Kiki squeal.

“I swear I can explain!” He shouted back as they sprinted.

Their worry faded as they around a curved corner and sighed in heavy relief.

There was Kiki, holding the wiggling mess of limbs that was called a baby dragon as it was a puppy or kitten. The dragon simply squealed back and chirped, tail moving back and forth just as puppy would, wings spread out as it nudged its head against Kiki’s cheeks. It was surprising to see Kiki hold the small creature, given they were almost the same size.

“Alde…what…that…that can’t” Mu gasped out before straightening his back and leaning towards the doorway with his mouth agape. “That can’t be a dragon” he managed to say.

“It’s a bronze dragon, technically” He replied, smiling sheepishly as Mu gave him a wide-eyed look while Kiki to the floor and laughed without a care in the world. The young dragon sniffed and flickered its tongue at him before leaping off him and began to wiggle its backside like a cat about to pounce.

“Bronze? What, how?” Mu asked.

“Can we keep it!” Kiki shouted.

“No!”

“I kind of have too!”

“Huh? Have to-I” Mu paused and dropped his shoulders as he pressed a hand against his face. “What exactly happened on your mission?” He asked.

“It’s kind of a long story” He said, rubbing a hand against Mu’s back “I’ll explain as we eat but…want to help pick out a name?”

did someone order gold saints drag queen headcanons?

aries mu: first of all this bitch can READ. she’ll read you, your parents, your dead grandma, your third cousin twice removed, your unborn children. if it breathes, she reads. she looks like the sweetest most harmless person in the world, but she’ll roast your shady ass at any given time without missing a beat. her library is open 24/7. REALLY good at sewing. has a strong drag family that she cares a lot about and its the only thing that gets to her.

taurus aldebaran: the actual sweetest most harmless person in the world. she’ll lend you a wig and give you advice at 3am. ridiculously funny, almost always in a good mood. she’s kind of mu’s opposite in the sense that she looks intimidating because she’s big and loud, but she’s really sweet. great cook, will often bring homemade snacks for everyone. probably the only one who never secretly wanted to punch mu. learned to laugh at herself

gemini saga: SHADY.  she can be very kind, but she can be very...  competitive. her looks are always flawless and creative and she’s very critical of herself. started doing drag to help with her confidence and it kind of worked but she often loses herself in her drag persona. cries a lot.  has an actual personality disorder. she says she knows she’s hot and everybody wants her, but she doesn’t actually believe it (its true tho).

cancer deathmask: hates everybody, only hangs out with her clique of equally asocial queens (shura and dite). actually very intelligent and opinionated. has a weird sense of humor, only dite ever laughs at her jokes (and its only 40% out of pity). sarcastic little shit. severe depression and drinking problems. needs a hug. wont say it out loud but she definitely doesnt think she deserves to be in the competition.

leo aiolia: a literal baby. youngest queen in the group. very naive and easily manipulated. gets read on an hourly basis. very proud, gets flustered and grumpy when she realizes she’s being read. which isnt often cause she’s pretty dense. can’t flirt to save her life. her older sibling is her drag mother and her biggest source of motivation. speedy queen, can sew at the speed of light. strong sense of justice. just got out of her emo phase

virgo shaka: sassy bitch, always has an answer ready. the only one who can hold her ground against mu. very religious. her fake eyelashes are too heavy and she cant open her eyes. who needs eyes with lashes like those. keeps trying to flirt with aiolia but it doesnt work. has no mercy, not even her drag children are safe from her sass. in fact, she’s very strict with them. has this holier than thou aura and a confidence that can only be described as godly.

libra dohko: everyone wants to know her plastic surgeon’s name cause at her age she should look like a raisin. gives moral lessons all the time. they sort of make sense but we’re all pretty sure she makes shit up on the spot. oldschool. full of tattoos. likes to go to the gym and eat healthy food. is probably fucking a judge. shortest queen. keeps talking about how things were different “in her day”

scorpio milo: the longest nails, always perfectly manicured. everyone’s afraid she’ll poke someone’s heart out someday. great dancer, flexible and a major show off. loves to remind everyone she can do the splits all the time. low tolerance for traitors, will make sure no one is cheating. started doing drag when she was literally 8 and would wear her mom’s heels and put on a show. is a drag mother to a bunch of drag kings.  has an amazing butt

sagittarius aiolos: ray of sunshine, is everyone’s main bet to win. the pope is rooting for her. we’re all rooting for her. soft and kind, cares too much about everyone. is very proud of her younger sibling, and of her spouse. will gush about them all the time. kinda well known in the drag scene. always in a good mood, has a great sense of humor, charming. over all perfect human being. never saw it coming. 

capricorn shura: major case of resting bitch face. got into drag because of dite and deathmask. turned out to be the most polished queen of the trio. perfectionist. has a huge celebrity crush on saga and aiolos. is terrible at hiding it. takes everything seriously. other queens think she’s too serious but she’s just autistic and probably didn’t get the joke. fashion queen.

aquarius camus: huge nerd, usually quiet but won’t shut up about her special interests. never changes her expression. has too many feelings and no idea how to handle them. cries a lot. one day her crush said her eyebrows were cute so she made sure her drag make up followed the shape. also autistic. has two drag children who will probably best her some day. is probably rich since she flies back and forth to visit them. a dumbass. 

pisces aphrodite: the fishiest queen. narcissistic. doesnt care about anyone. secretly cares a lot for her two friends. knows she’s gorgeous and relies on beauty often. hates having to do any effort. turned her station into a little garden with flower pots. says its because she likes her face framed by roses. baby talks to them when she thinks no one’s looking. likes to be adored. all she ever wanted was the world.

general headcanons: they never use their own hair. putting on wigs is a long difficult process. many bobbypins were harmed in the making of this series. i will probably use manga hair colors out of drag and anime hair colors in drag, with some exceptions (aldebaran has short hair, and he and the twins have dark hair. i refuse to make any of them blonde. i’m still thinking about deathmask and mu but they’ll likely not be blonde). i have many otps but the only actual couple included is saga and aiolos for plot reasons.

@perladellanotte asked: rickroll! 1-7, thank you

@perladellanotte, I'm super sorry I didn't get this done sooner, I'm on mobile and I often loose my askbox like a genius. Also, I can't tag asks on mobile even after I've posted, which is why this is a quote. 1: What's your OCs favorite color? Cancer Dionisio is a painter, as well as a cook, so asking him this question is like pulling teeth. It doesn't compute. He will stand there in deep contemplation, and then forget the question. Scorpio Tryphosa likes green. Dionisio’s eyes are green. There is clearly absolutely no correlation here, look away. 2: Where does your OC work? Both Dionisio and Tryphosa are Saints of Athena! But if they weren't, Dio would have his own restaurant, and Tryphosa would probably work in either a bar or a sex shop. 3: What's your OCs favorite food? Don't ask Dionisio this one, it will just end exactly like the one with colors. Tryphosa likes anything Dio cooks, but especially his struffoli. She forever denies that she has a sweet tooth, though. 4: Does your OC prefer paper or plastic? Dionisio is the kind of person who brings his own canvas shopping bags. Tryphosa doesn't care, whatever floats your boat, bagging person. 5: How old is your OC? Dionisio is 35 when he dies in an earthquake in Sicily, saving his apprentice, 10-year-old Deathmask. Tryphosa is 6 years older than Dio, and lived to the ripe old age of 162. 6: Does your OC have any supernatural powers? They're both Saints of Athena, so yes. Tryphosa is a Scorpio Saint, Milo’s master and predecessor, and Dionisio is a Cancer Saint, Deathmask’s master and predecessor. 7: Is your OC in a relationship? Yes! They're absolutely stupid about each other, and oftentimes my husband, @aphrodites-bloody-rose’s OC, Gemini Lew.

JSE egos as gold saint from saint seiya

( this is my opinion, and ONLY mine ) :

Schneeplestein : aquarius camus, like this gold saint, he is avid of knowledge, in his own domain and in another domain

Anti: cancer deathmask, like this gold saint, well all he wants is death

Chase: leo aiolia, like this gold saint, he lost someone dear to his heart

Jackieboyman: sagitarius aiolos, like his gold saint, he has a will to sacrifice himself to save his love ones

Marvin : virgo shakka and aries Mû, like those two, he has a big power

Jameson : virgo shakka and aries Mû, like marvin

That's all for today

Anime Saturday: Saint Seiya Part 3

Part one here.

Part two here.

Detailed summary of the story. Spoiler alert. Check part one for a list of triggers.

Fifth arc: attack at the Twelve Temples

Saori is wounded and only the High Priest can pull out the arrow from her chest and heal her: the Bronze Saints have 12 hours to pass through the twelve temples on the road that goes to the Acropolis, where the High Priest lives. The time will be measured by a clock that is visible from every place of the Sanctuary.

When the last fire of the clock will go out, Saori will die. The Bronze Saints run to the first temple and there they find Mu and his assistant, Kiki. The Gold Saint of Aries uses the first hour to repair the group’s armors, telling them that to defeat the Gold Saints they need to awaken the Seventh Sense, the highest level of their cosmos. Seiya and his friends entrust Saori to Mu and take leave towards the Taurus Temple. Its guardian, Aldebaran, doesn’t allow them to pass, but Seiya, after a difficul fight, manages to hit the Gold Saint while avoiding his attack. Impressed by Seiya’s perseverance, Aldebaran allows the group to pass. Now he is beginning to have doubts about the High Priest too.

Things at the third temple are more complicated, because there are two Gemini temples. The Bronze Saints decide to split: Seiya and Shiryu will enter the left one, while Shun and Hyoga the one on the right. Shiryu, being blind, is not affected by the illusions created by the cosmos that is protecting the place, so he and Seiya manage to escape the building and start running to the fourth temple. Shun and Hyoga are still trapped inside and the Saint of Gemini uses on them a technique that sends them to another dimension. Shun manages to defeat the Gold Saint using his chain, but Hyoga is swallowed by the spatial distortion. Shun realizes that the Gemini Saint is just another illusion, and their armor is empty.

Meanwhile Hyoga exits the spatial distortion and arrives at the seventh temple, Libra. There he finds Camus of Aquarius, Gold Saint and former instructor of Hyoga’s teacher. Camus tries to force Hyoga to reach the seventh sense, but when he realizes that the young Saint is still too burdened by his past, he imprisons him into an ice coffin, certain he will wake up when he will be strong enough to fight the Gold Saints.

The fourth temple walls and floors are completely covered by human heads. Deathmask, the Cancer Saint, boasts that those are the heads of all the people he killed. Shiryu stays to fight Deathmask, while Seiya runs toward the fifth temple. The battle is difficult: Deathmask brings the fight the entrance of the Underworld, where the spirits of the dead reside. The situation seems desperate, but the Gold Saint is abandoned by his armor, that doesn’t want to protect him anymore because of his evil deeds and Shiryu finds the strength to defeat his enemy. When he comes to, he meets Shun at the door of the temple, and realizes that he can see again.

At the fifth temple Seiya finds a brainwashed Aiolia, who immediately tries to kill him. Apparently the High Priest took advantage of the battle between Shaka and Aiolia to subjugate the distracted Saint of Leo. While Aiola is about to kill Seiya, Cassios takes the hit and dies: he saved his former rival because he knew that his teacher Shaina would suffer if Seiya died.

Aiolia, who would recover his sanity only after killing a friend, awakes from his trance and allows Seiya, Shiryu and Shun to pass through his temple.

The three Bronze Saints enter the sixth temple, and Shaka, Saint of Virgo, refuses to let them pass. He is a formidable enemy, since he has mastered extremely powerful techniques that can vanquish his foes in a matter of seconds. Ikki arrives to save the day, but even him is overwhelmed by Shaka, who begings to remove his six senses, one after the other. Miraculously, Ikki manages to overpower Shaka: without his six senses, he could reach the seventh, allowing him to take Shaka with him toward certain death. Seiya, Shiryu and Shun mourn the Phoenix Saint, before going to the seventh temple.

In the seventh temple, they find Hyoga prisoner of a block of ice. Shiryu frees him destroying the ice coffin with one of the weapons hidden in the armor of Libra. Sadly the Bronze Saint is still unconscious and hypotermic, so Shun encourages his friends to go on: he will stay and try to revive Hyoga burning his cosmos, even though he could lose his life in the process.

Shiryu and Seiya are stopped at the eight temple by Milo, Saint of Scorpio. He hits them with the Scarlet Needle, a technique that causes enemies to suffer an incredible pain and that slowly poisons them, depriving them of their senses. Hyoga interrupts the fight arriving at the temple with an apparently dead Shun. Now Hyoga is furious and more than ready to kick some ass, starting with Milo.

He paralizes Milo allowing Seiya and Shiryu to run away with Shun’s body. The gold Saint frees himself and the fight starts in earnest: Hyoga can’t stop the Scarlet Needle and his techniques aren’t effective on Milo. When Milo hits Hyoga with his last and most powerful attack, Antares, Hyoga reaches the seventh sense and completely freezes his armor. Milo realizes that he is still alive thanks to the Gold armor protection, and that Hyoga was clearly stronger than him. Understanding that Hyoga is fighting for justice, Milo reverses the effects of his attack, allowing him to pass through the eight temple.

Meanwhile, Athena’s power called the Sagittarius armor at the Sanctuary, and immediately all the twelve gold armors start to resonate. The Sagittarius armor lands in the ninth temple, where all the four Bronze Saint included Shun who recovered, are finally reunited. There they are subjected to a series of trials, and at the end they find a message written by Aiolos that says the he entrusts Athena “To the young Saints who will enter this temple”. Moved by the message, Seiya Hyoga, Shiryu and Shun renew their promise to save Athena.

At the tenth temple apparently things are easy: they pass through the building without incidents, but when they exit it they are attacked by Shura, Saint of Capricorn. Only Shiryu stays, while the others continue. Shura is the Saint who caused Aiolos’s wounds so, indirectly, his death. Seeing that Shura is a difficult foe, Shiryu decides to sacrifice himself more or less like Ikki did: he expands his cosmos to the limit and the two are projected to the outer space.

The eleventh temple is protected by Camus of Aquarius and Hyoga decides to fight him alone, while Seiya and Shun continue to the last temple. Both Camus and the Bronze Saint fight with ice and Hyoga’s armor can’t resist the low temperature the Aquarius Saint is able to generate: the Cygnus armor is destroyed. However, Hyoga obtains the seventh sense and defeats Camus using his foe’s own technique, but both fall after the fight.

Seiya and Shun arrive at the last temple and find the most beautiful Saint of all, Aphrodite, guarding it. Shun stays to allow Seiya to go on, and bravely fights the Pisces Saint. Aphrodite hits Shun with roses that he charges with his cosmos, so the Andromeda Saint is drained of all his energy. In a last, desperate try to stop the Pisces saint, he uses the Nebula Storm, an extremely powerful technique that he is reluctant to unleash in battle. Both the Saints are consumed by the respective attacks, and now, apparently, nothing can stop Seiya from reaching the Acropolis.

But there’s another trap on the stairs to the High Priest’s Rooms: the steps are completely covered in Aphrodite’s venomous roses, and the Pegasus Saint is on the verge of dying. Luckily Marin is there to help him, forcing him to wear her mask that acts as a filter for the poisoned pollen. She carries him on her back until she collapses because of the poison. Enraged, Seiya uses his cosmos and destroys all the roses, then he arrives at the Acropolis.

There he is welcomed by the High Priest, who sadly tells him that he can’t heal Saori: the only way to do that is to retrieve the golden shield that is wielded by the statue of Athena, over the Acropolis. Seiya immediately starts ascending the steps that bring to the statue, but the High Priest attacks him, then he reveals himself as Saga, the Saint of Gemini. He always had split personality, and the evil one had completely possessed the once righteous and good Saint of Gemini.

Years earlier, the old High Priest had chosen Aiolos as his successor. Enraged by this, Saga’s evil self killed the High Priest, took his place and spread the rumor that the Saint of Gemini had died during a mission. Then he tried to kill the newly-reincarnated Athena, but Aiolos saved her and ran away, entrusting her to Mitsumasa Kido.

Seiya begins the battle against Saga, but he can’t compete with the Gold Saint’s legendary strength: he is deprived of all his senses and on the verge of death. Ikki, reborn, comes to help him, and Saint of Pegasus manages to find the shield he needed. He takes it, and the shield generates an intense ray of light that hits Saori, dissolving the arrow and healing her wound. While Saga continues battling and exhausted Seiya, Saori begins to go through all the temples, followed by the Gold Saints and healing Shiryu, Hyoga and Shun.

The Bronze Saints attack Saga together, and Saori implores the Saint of Gemini to stop this madness. Saga’s good self awakens, and he decides to kill himself to atone his crimes. The Gold Saint dies in peace in Saori’s arms, and for the first time in years the Sanctuary is free from the Dark Forces.

End part three.

[shouxryuuxha]

❖││SHURA-SAN││❖:

Shura made a mental note to be more careful the next time he would meet with Shiryu. Next time, he will make sure he’ll be around.             And converse with Deathmask beforehand too. If the Cancer wold be looking for him anytime soon, best to do so.

The Capricorn Saint firmly pressed his lips together. Rarely did he feel this, but the man felt deeply concerned for the other albeit, no surprise, unreflective of his expression save for widened deep eyes. 

Seeing someone vomit their heart out was not new to Shura. Plenty of men and women in the Sanctuary, Deathmask included, had moments where they’d spill their guts out in the open. Most unlucky in having a container of sorts to keep the acids from splashing and spreading under feet. Sure, he’d be disgusted and in Deathmask’s case, sadistically amused.

           Shiryu, however, made the sight painful. Shura respected and cared for the man deeply; to see him in agony and probably embarrassment, the Capricorn Saint couldn’t help but panic internally and quickly think on how to help with the situation. Instinctively, Shura drew closer and rubbed the boy’s back remembering how the maids took care of the nauseated gold saints back when they were children.

Robust fingers gently pressed onto Shiryu’s back, but firmly as his palm added a little more soothing pressure while rubbing the Dragon Saint’s back as he was in distress. The free hand carefully pulled back Shiryu’s ebony locks, keeping them away from getting messy.

“It’ll be fine…it will help make you feel better…”             He was counting on it. Vomiting was a painful process yet relief sometimes followed after when all the toxins had left the upset stomach. He continued to rub the youth’s back as soothing as he could. Once Shiryu would be done, the Saint would grab him ginger ale, water, anything else he has that could remedy.

               ❖││✘ＲＩＳＩＮＧ ＤＲＡＧＯＮ✘││❖

                                                                This is NOT how he wanted to look in front of the Capricorn Saint; huddled over a wastebasket, bringing up the CONTENTS of his stomach & wondering just WHAT THE HELL DID HE EAT because his memory was beginning to fail him. Shiryu could not recall EITHER of them eating anything! If anything, all he should be bringing up from his stomach just LIQUID. Where the hell did all of this come from!

                                                              & the more he LOOKED at it & caught its SCENT, the more Shiryu heaved into the wastebasket. Even when he drank with his master, Shiryu NEVER threw up. He suffered the worst headache in the world & became very sensitive to SOUNDS & LIGHT but not once did he bring up the contents of his stomach to which, was surprising since the stuff Roshi drank put ALL THE STUFF HE DRANK WITH DEATHMASK TO SHAME! To this day, Shiryu had NO CLUE just what the hell he was drinking with Roshi nor where he got it from. But, he was MORE THAN CERTAIN that it was OLD.

                                                              When the young saint heard that the elder had RETURNED from his journey, Shiryu bothered not to check & see if Deathmask was even BREATHING. He stumbled out of the Cancer Temple & made the long journey all the way BACK to the Capricorn Temple. Granted, this was NOT how he wanted to present himself to the other; he always wanted to LOOK & BE HIS BEST whenever around the other (why? Shiryu was still unsure--his chest felt funny whenever he saw him & he just felt the need to be his best--chalk it up to admiration) & this was the FARTHEST thing from it.

                                                               & to make matters even more EMBARRASSING, the other was taking care of him! He was even KIND ENOUGH to pull his hair back & keep it from becoming messy! Let him keep his head in this bucket FOREVER. This is the best place to DIE, right? A BRONZE SAINT OF ATHENA PREFERRED TO DIE WITH HIS HEAD IN A WASTE BASKET THAN IN BATTLE DUE TO EMBARRASSMENT. Minstrels will sing of him..& laugh their asses off.

                                                             Shiryu's stomach did finally EMPTY everything & once it was done, reluctantly, his head came OUT of the basket & a hand just covered his eyes; holding his forehead. ❛ F-forgive me, Shura-san. This is NOT how I w-wanted to greet your return. ❜ Bury him. Stick him 6 FEET UNDER & BURY HIM. Maybe then he'll be able to live with this--& maybe his head will stop POUNDING.
