to be quite honest shadow's characterization in the fsa manga was always something that raised more questions than answers for me because it's like. he's got a mile-wide inferiority complex about being link's shadow we all know this but when did he have the time to develop that inferiority complex in the first place. how long was he lurking around after ganon created him before the events of the manga actually started. what did he witness or hear or both to make him so fucking angry

People who think comedic moments or levity of that nature is a failure of a creator's understanding of horror, I feel, fail to understand horror on a foundational level.

Obtained: top-up for Tides and Flames event

Rarity: SSR

Story - transcripts from Designer's Reflection

Chapter 1 - Beneath the Ice

Chapter 2 - Spirit in the Lake

Chapter 3 - Forgotten Sagas

Chapter 4 - Black Tide Rising

Story - summarized

Mercury and his group finally found the Altar of Arionus, located at the bottom of Lake Bovaly. With the assistance of the Water Elf King's gem, he followed the path into the lake and down a dark passage.

And there, still preserved after all this time, was the stone altar. A misty wraith guarded it, emitting shrieks and screams. But Mercury was not deterred. Instead, he approached the spirit and declared himself a friend of the Water Elves.

The dark mist revealed itself to be Flo, one of the earliest and most devout followers of Arionus. He was there to witness the scorn of the other Elf Gods, as well as how Hephaes led to his great god's demise. Indignant and vindictive, Flo would do anything to restore the great God of Water.

Mercury announced that he had a plan to awaken the long-lost god, but he needed help revitalizing the New Moon gem. Flo readily agreed, and the last of his ghost faded into vapor as he transferred power into the gem.

Now, Mercury could uphold his end of the deal struck with the Water Elf King: he would awaken Arionus, break the oath binding the Water Elves to the deep sea, and assist in the downfall of Pigeon Kingdom and the Light Elves.

But he wouldn't do this for altruism. All he wanted was a glimpse of the power of the Abyss, and he needed Arionus back to do that.

Connections

-Mercury made a deal with the Water Elf King in Startide Dream. Now, he's fulfilling that deal by triggering the events of the Tides and Flames hell event.

-While Mercury craves the power of the Abyss, he still knew the risk of the Goddess of Desire's presence in Miraland and worked alongside the rest of the Shining Nikki cast during the Angel and Demon hell event. He provided resources to the other three factions.

-Flo has met Hephaes, but in Arionus' Reflection for Lost Tides, Flo didn't trust Hephaes one bit, and the moment the other Elf Gods ambushed Arionus, Flo was quick to pin the blame on Hephaes as a betrayal.

-This is not the first time Mercury wasn't the narrator of his own story: the first half of Startide Dream, the full story for Nightmist Aria, Daybreak Overture, Snow Song, and Reminiscence of Flower (to name a few) either feature another character narrating the story or none at all.

Fun Facts

-Even though we've seen Mercury make the deal with the Water Elf King before, this is the first time a mark or emblem has been mentioned.

-This Reflection is a prologue to the hell event, even to the Moon Memories.

-It's never clear if the New Moon gem is the same blue gem the Water Elf King gave to Mercury the day the young boy left the Pigeon palace. But it fits the description.

-While Mercury knows that gods exist, he doesn't worship any and sees them merely as pawns, like the mortals he meets.

"Space Dragons reigned over the creation of the universe." - wonder if that will ever be relevant again.

More thoughts under the cut.

Taken from episode 64. Please excuse the poor quality. Their original purpose was only as a rough reference... which they are still being used for.

I don't know, Ranran. This looks like a mass grave to me, considering they're all found on the same layer. Either a burial ground (if they had a culture like this) or something similar to a catastrophe happened for all of them to die at the same time. Maybe something related to the death of Phaser's and Tremolo's parents? We don't know how old they are. We don't know anything about the life or lifespan of a Space Dragon, even less of one being half human (or more or less).

It's also very confusing to me that a species compared to gods is this 'easily' wiped out. It is unusual for natural predators to completely kill off the species they're hunting. If prey becomes scares, predators decline in numbers as well, giving the hunted room to regain their members. This makes the hunters rise in population and on it goes. It's basically an endless circle until it's disrupted.

Though it is not explicitly stated, one could assume that Space Dragons were used as fuel, since their fossils are. Wouldn't you think species smart enough to invent space travel would be considered of their best fuel source? Or am I giving them too much credit? Considering they were greedy enough to take almost everything from the mining planet, I am certainly giving then too much credit. But why would they leave so many remains on earth behind and not use them as fuel? Unless these Space Dragons did not die because of fuel related reasons. Perhaps I am putting too much thought on the alife ones, and their properties as fuel only come from them being dead and processe by their environment for a very long time, like oil and coal.

Not saying the extinction of Space Dragons was purposefully orchestrated by someone, but it makes me think. Somehow, extraterrestrial species are going extinct in the Go Rush world. Velgearians (obviously), Space Dragons and Dragonbusters. I'm not saying anything groundbreaking or new here, but apparently there are no extraterrestrials in SEVENS. Though Yuhi still reacted to the machine-people. And what was up with that other space ship at the end of 62? Maybe extraterrestrials are not completely gone after all?

On a nice world building side note: The fossil from episode 42 confirms there are different subspecies of Space Dragon. Not that the different skulls did not already proof that. Same with the four fingered claws. Unless it's because Phaser is partly human or some got lost during life or after death. There is also one with two claws but who knows? But if their claw number really is that different, does that mean there could be true Space Dragons and "Pseudo Space Dragons"? Meaning not every dragon is actually related to the same ancestor species, ergo Space Dragons came from different planets? Or can Space Dragons be born in space? Wouldn't it be funny, if the shape(s) of Space Dragons is (are) the go to shape(s) for space 'lizards', like the shape of the crab-like body plan?

(...Did the one in the first image have bones in their beard????)

I'm not really sure about any of these and just wanted to put my thoughts down. I don't have high hopes for the narrative to return to Space Dragons, but Go Rush tends to have its surprises. Until then I'm going to sit here and build my own empire of Space Dragons.

ren and stimpy adult party cartoon ranked from worst to least worst imo

6. naked beach frenzy - already not very fond of the contents of the episode but knowing anything about john brings it all down for me

5. ren seeks help - mostly extremely boring to me but it did have that nice walking segment and that one frame i took a screenshot of

4. fire dogs 2 - just didnt care for it. laughed

3. onward and upward - a little gross at times but generally left a positive impression on me. laughed

2. stimpy's pregnant - would be my favorite if it werent for the poop twist tbh. i dont know what else to say about it

1. altruists - would be significantly improved if it was shaved down 10-15 minutes but like other than that it was just fine for me. actually I don't remember if I laughed watching this one.

[ihopeucomehomesoon]

my goal this year is not to not want but to just be silly with my wanting i think wanting things half heartedly is safe but wanting things with deep desire is scary and makes me crazy

[primordialchoice]

I'm starting to warm up to the idea that Lilith and Adam were created as a metaphor for ying and yang. I used to dislike it back when I first read about it because it was incredibly sexist, but now that I'm older I feel I can draw new parallels that make more sense in my mind.

With Lilith being an avatar of evil and Adam being an avatar for good, the role of the forbidden tree of knowledge makes a lot more sense to me. Knowing the difference between good and evil would make for a greyer outlook on life, which Lilith might have had a tiny grasp over because she had actually struggled against her nature prior to leaving Eden. Meanwhile, Adam had to eat the fruit in order to gain sight over it, which was something that Lilith did not indulge in.

Lilith is a vessel for evil. She rounds her world view over time as she spends more time with those who have a grey outlook on life because it's easier to relate to someone with a little bit of darkness in them. This is why she is only willing to compromise when she can meet someone in the middle.

I would say that she is greyer than she started, but her natural way of being still has a dark core that would probably never change (unless she is fundamentally altered in some way, like if she were to consume the forbidden fruit)

[luminaryofblood]

... There is a certain comfort to be found. When one looks upon you, not with fear; but with adoration. That smile, radiating with warmth.

[takato1993]

Huh the Phantom Ship was a lot easier than I remember it being

But then again I guess I played this part of the game in a much more optimal way than when I was a kid.

Nikki: Guides of Star

Designer's Reflection: Guides of Star

Obtained: Void Stardust hell event

Rarity: UR (special)

Attribute: Pink/Sweet

Awakened Suit: Trails of Heart

Story - transcripts from Designer's Reflection

Chapter 1 - Apocalypse - Civilization

Chapter 2 - Ending - Origin

Chapter 3 - Aurora - Hope

Chapter 4 - Snowflake - Glow

Chapter 5 - Star Sea - Newborn

Story - summarized

Nikki is once again at the sea of stars. Another attempt to save Miraland from destruction, another failure. No matter what she does differently, the result is the same.

She stands with Leonid as a space shuttle holding the last hope of civilization gets annihilated by a black hole. Leonid tells Nikki that she has already tried all possible star trails, and none of them lead to Miraland's salvation.

But Nikki refuses to give up. Leonid waits with her, and as they wait, they see a vision through the black hole... a memory.

One night years ago, Nikki traveled with her family to find a spot to watch the aurora. She felt so small and insignificant in comparison to the cosmic lights... yet they were so stunning that they seemed to wrap her up, like she could float away on starlight.

Not only that, but Nikki this time finds something else where the memory had been: a camera. An AI from inside introduces herself as Glow, and Nikki shows Glow the starry night sky. Even in darkness and annihilation, there was still beauty.

Leonid listens as Nikki insists she will not give up trying to save Miraland. She'll make her own path if she needs to - a fallen star suddenly glows, creating a new star trail.

He warns her that if she continues on this new path, she'll lose her memories of her past lives. She'll start over from scratch. Nikki knows that her goals won't change, so she will be okay from here on. The two of them part ways... and she meets you at the Gate of Heart.

Connections

-Nikki mentions returning to the Star Sea to save Miraland. In her memories for Star Sea, as well as the Time Corridor event, Nikki goes back in time to try to save Miraland from the apocalypse caused by the Ocean of Memories flooding into the real world.

-Miraland's demise was prophesized by Leonid, in the very first Reflection, Twinkle Twinkle. He tracked the astronomical placement of the stars, and was able to predict their movements and life cycles - all except for one anomaly, and this is why he chose Nikki to carry on his work to find a way to save the world.

-The space shuttle that gets sucked into the black hole is the same shuttle that Glow describes when she was first "born" in her Reflection for Star Beyond Galaxy.

-During the Void Stardust event, we see three of the timelines where Nikki tries to save Miraland: the first ended in starvation in a small survivor's camp, the second was a war that resulted in a child being shot while giving Nikki a gift, and the third is the current timeline, right before the Player finds Nikki in Ideal City.

Fun Facts

-This is the first UR Reflection to have the pearlescent pink color and the animated Awakened card.

-Now, Nikki has two suits based after the sea of stars: Star Sea (the famous purple gown) and now Guides of Star.
