#maybe they'll get a sidestory

[murdermeadow]

so crazy how finally finishing things you were obliged to do but putting off makes you feel better and actually motivated to do things again

[honestlyyoungtyphoon]

So,if your ever an author for remarried empress,what would you fix in the webtoon and why?

Well I'm a navieshu shipper so of course I'm going to lean towards that. Sovieshu will find Rashta and help her and give her employment in the palace. Him falling for her didn't make sense judging by his past character (even Navier was surprised in canon). They'll have misunderstandings and will get divorced but both of them will remain single afterwards (no remarriage or concubines). Navier will go out and have her adventures with dragons and what not. Slowly figuring out herself and missing Sovieshu but she thinks he doesn't love her.

I'll give Ergi better motivation than to blame Sovieshu for Alessia cause that crap doesn't make sense.

Birdpoop will be the same as he's already a pos. (Man I loved Rashta sidestory where she immediately suspected something was wrong with the bird and grabbed bird h*inly). Rashta will not let him stalk Navier because of this.

Rashta is a feisty girl, I'd love for her to train and get a place in the army of Eastern Empire and get her revenge against her enslavers.

Sovieshu meanwhile will rule the emperor and investigate the magic decline and missing Navier all the time.

Let birdpoop invade the eastern empire and get his ass handed cause he forgot that western kingdom is a landlocked country and other rulers hate him (canonically other rulers aren't his biggest fan either)

Krista regains self respect and doesn't lose her dignity.

The main villain will be another evil sorcerer (Ergi ) who has been sealed away for long due to vict family and now here's to take revenge and injures Sovieshu and Navier returns after hearing this thinking Sovieshu died, realizing she loves him more than she thought. She gets her hidden power during her adventures and uses that to save him.

Ergi's body is basically possessed during the fire incident and joins hands with birdpoop as it helps his goal. Would love for him to kill birdpoop after the lost war as he became useless to him after that.

Navier Rashta friendship. Navier uses Dolshi Dragon and forms a dragon army. Sovieshu recovers and they together defeat the main villain. To add a bit of tragedy, maybe Kosair dies... Kaufman is hugely injured.

They finally defeats possessed Ergi and the truth comes out about his possession. I wouldn't mind a Rashta Ergi ship.

Navier and Sovieshu finally talk like adults and Sovieshu begs Navier to take him back even if she hates him. Navier will be surprised, beat his ass for being an idiot but they get back and hence the remarried empress.

They make a better treaty after the huge war, slavery gets banished (Rashta plays a great role in it).

Sovieshu and Navier have another royal wedding.

Sidestory:

Sovieshu and Navier have a happy ending and long after their marriage when they have given up about having a baby and making peace with it Navier suddenly becomes pregnant. The boy will have dark hair like Sovieshu and green eyes like Navier.

Ergi and Rashta get married and Ergi adopts Ian as his and later she gives birth to another daughter.

Their babies are decided to get married for future.

Cue old Sovieshu playing with his grandkids talking about how he married Navier two times and Navier rolling her eyes in the background but smiling.

The end.

Speaking about pulls, I was farming some tickets from side stories to not touch my crystal stash and with a pal we realized something... I know you don't dwell in society but follow me on that, all the anni events got added to the side stories between March and May while it's almost October and we got no HSM(to not confuse with high school musical) it's an event that's kinda got a conection to the MSQ so why delay it? We got the Yodarha 5star uncap recently with him and Rhens kinda reminiscing... WHAT IF they'll drop it around November/January b4 the first of the successor line of society? What if playable Rhens? (sorry i'm probably just delulu i really want playable Rhens he deserves it) or maybe more Farrah and Juri that would be cool too, we haven't seen them in ages

oouuuughhh

Farrah and Juri's unit is at least sort of recent, though it'd be nice to have more of them....

but yeah i think HSH might drop soonish, the rerun was not so long ago after all. Maybe it'll be November because a lot of Society events happened then? idk

i'd assume it'll eventually join the sidestories before next anni, probably, maybe? it'd make sense at least

tbh i had confused the recent rerun with it joining the side stories so it was like. 2 days ago i noticed it wasn't there yet and i haven't overthought it since.

still it'd be nice if it joined the sidestories soon.. and that you get the characters you're wishing for! crossing fingers for you!!

Oh my GOD ALTAIR

I only had his Holiday version, which is good for supports and debuffs but I admit I never looked twice at him

WHERE WERE YOU HIDING ALL THIS

EHEHEH GOTCHA.

God i wanted his holiday unit so bad when it came out, i'm an Altair truther through and through, they just aren't doing anything with this character!!

also his VA also voices Poseidon so this is something that needs to be mentioned because, that man's range.

But they barely ever did anything with his character except an event in 2020, The Art Of Mercy, that was supposed to set up Speaker Lore and then they never came back on it. The nerves.

I got Altair is one of my first unit (he's my 7th SSR unit, and it involves 2 sidestories character, so he's my 5th gacha ssr) and he carried me so much when i was baby because back in the days Relic Buster didn't exist and if you wanted to have a full burst on first turn, you had very little options, and i had cheesed a set up with Aglovale's sword as main hand on Chrysaor + its CA boosting skills, Aglovale, and Altair that got me a full burst on first turn on my water team. It legit carried my early days. Now his unit is pretty much obsolete, but i'll always remember him.

He's very cool, he has a manipulative edge as you can imagine from being a genius war tactician, but he uses it mostly to avoid casualties. He also officially retired from being a war tactician, but he often gets lured in into being an advisor to some conflit by people telling him "please help us win this war and we'll give you books about ancient lore". He's a nerd. Mister "i'm not manipulating anyone. .... unless you have books."

Shura, who appears in the wday lines, is the general from a country Altair used to serve, but has left a long while ago. In the Art of Mercy, her country calls for Altair's help and he concedes to it in order to access Creation Lore Books.

For the record his wings are because he heard of the Primarches when they were just legends but he admired this idea of benevolent power so much he gave himself fake wings to remember that the power he has as a strategist should be used for balance instead. or something like that, it's been years since i last read this bit lol.

Now that i think about it, Altair appeared in the latest Sauna event. But his only involvement was about how he was one of the guy who was stuck fully naked in the bath with Deliford because they didn't know it would be a mixed gender pool day.

here he is, next to Sandalphon.

so yeah Granblue doesn't do much with him because he's an old character and they don't know what to do with him, but i keep begging for him to get relevant again. He's fun.

So glad the wday homelines brought some eyes on him ;D one day maybe they'll bring back he's the only fucker of the ship who knows that "Helel Ben Shalem" is the name of the Right Hand of God. Because they fucking dropped that in Art of Mercy and NEVER acknowledged it again. And not even the latest event have anyone realize Shalem and Sahar are Speakers. Altair start fucking speaking--

[icharchivist]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Belial is also the only case I've seen (in granblue) where a character gets this poplar this fast.

And it's not like he fell from popularity with the years either, if anything it's stronger than ever.

Sometimes I wonder if cygames fears what they created

You're totally correct!

Like, i think there has been characters who got extremely popular real quick - some that comes to mind are like, Carro or Nehan for exemple.

But Belial is completely on another level. First, the fact that his popularity totally broke out from the gbf fandom. The amount of people who can say they started gbf because of Belial, especially in 2018, is staggering, i genuinely can't think of any charas who had this much of a following at once. Second, that indeed, he's still extremely popular, even more so than ever before. Even for charas i would think got really popular after one event, they usually fade out from people's mind a few months later. But him? Still there and kicking and it's been years!!

I think Lucilius can come close because people have been also going insane about him, but i genuinely don't think he has as much impact as Belial.

Similarly i'm thinking about GBVS only people's reaction to Belial. I remember seeing videos of people who were only familiar with VS, discovering Belial with the trailer, and losing their mind because he looked so cool. There's still a huge amount of people nowadays who start GBVS only for Belial, with no prior knowledge of GBF.

It's still going so damn strong after all these years, Belial just really attract anyone in his orbit.

Honestly i think cygames must be afraid. And perhaps also a little mad at themselves at how they ended 000 in a way to keep Belial out of the skyrealm because now, anything they'd do to bring him back would feel weird. Like, yes 000 is a perfect satisfactory ending to the saga! But what do we do now to still use the power of Mister McPopular?

I wonder how much they just, wanted to wrap up the wmtsb saga and move on, but now they can't because Belial brings them too much money to ignore.

Now we just have to see if they'll ever bring him back regardless at this point. Maybe since they put The Maydays, which introduced a possible way to bring him back, into the sidestories and therefore, accessible, means they might start to consider it.

But for now.... man. what a guy. Truly changed the direction of the game so sharply didn't he
