Ah~ thank you for the warm welcomes omg! I’m very glad to know there’s an active Saint Seiya fandom on Tumblr and that you guys approve of the “humorous watching with a friend” technique. I’m really enjoying it so far! Also, I’ve already got teary-eyed once (Thanks a lot, Hyoga) so I think now I’m officially Baptized.

Kind of unrelated, but Osomatsu-kun did a Saint Seiya parody once and I think fans of both series could appreciate the sheer surreality of that information. So I leave you all with the only slightly cursed sight of Pegasus Seiyami:

[dreamychaos]

Yes, Kanon, where is Athena's jar? We have to stuff Poseidon back into it.

(lol god jelly???)

I fell in love with this adorable fic wrote by @sanctuarycolumn so I quickly doodled this T_T

[master-of-cosmos]

tag game~

thank you @lloydskywalkers 😊

Rule: post the last line you've written and tag as many people as there are words in that line.

"Now Cole's never had the best intuition, but he gets the distinct sense that he's making a stupid, horrible mistake."

that's 20 words oof but... @sanctuarycolumn @iwillkeepfighting @masterofswag213 @teary-eyed-circle-of-friendship idk who else is a writer >.<

[princesandromeda]

Meh, I’m still getting used to the editor...

it has some HyoShun, so perhaps I can lure @sanctuarycolumn into talking about this AU with me...?

So I watched Heathers in march, and totally got obssesed with making Hyoga parallels... I was planning on making animatics (bc i really love this AU I’m planning to write), but I have like... zero artistic skills. So I did this. :D Enjoy?

IT’S RANT TIME!!

I’m arriving late to the party but since yesterday I jumped right into the “tren del mame” (our term in Spanish for this, it’s something like the ‘whining wagon’)

-First, the Saint Seiya fandom oscilates between extremes: the dude bros who want the same story from the 80s, and the progressive troop waiting for changes; which opens the door to a world of different readings and meanings aaaand makes it extremely difficult to please everyone at the same time.

-Second, there is no point in denying it, these are different times, society has changed and entertainment has changed with it. And 80s product with its 80s tropes has little chance of being successful.

-Also, no matter what, our beloved 80s show will not suddenly dissapear or be replaced. And the new project is not necessarily about us (the old fandom).

-Yesterday, I was ok with the news about the remake, my expectactions were something like the Voltron remake so girl Shun was a possibility; until the writer started explainind his vision...

-The reason: yes, I agree with him, the original source was a sausage fest, full 80s style and it needed to be changed, the main team needed women.

-They couldn’t add new characters (and I get it). But, wait, if you’re going to play the smurfette card, there is a bronze girl: June! I asked him about that and:

-Was that a case of lazy writing? Tbh I don’t know, because that character was almost a clean slate for a writer to develop it. Then, it seems they felt like they had only one option...

-Why Shun? I guess they went for the least-outrage-option. As someone  wrote, with every change there would have been a massive shitstorm, but Shun seemed like the easiest, safest path in commercial terms. But not really in terms of the statement that they were trying to make explicit.

-The result: they pissed people on of both parts of the fandom, for the fanboys it was unforgivable to change him for the sake of pushing “an agenda”; for others, Shun as a non toxic masculinity character in a shonen, was  a more powerful statement than just filling a gender quota, and making him a girl will erase those more subtle aspects of representation.

-Anyway, am I gonna watch the remake? I guess so, i’m not into a static view of cultural products, therefore I have more in common with a new interpretation (even if I don’t fully agree in the details)  than with the ones who want an 80s show done forever and ever. Also, as @sanctuarycolumn wrote, there are reasons to be optimistic about it.

-Finally, the consequences: the fandom came back to life. Even if the remake flops it will bring new fans who will share the love for the franchise. And that’s a good thing.

Important Star Wars AU facts that no one asked for but I’m providing anyway!

Lightsaber Colour Edition! (With some help from my partner in crime @sanctuarycolumn)

Saori: Purple, because ofc

Seiya: Yellow, but a very pale, almost white yellow

Shiryu: Dual wields two blue-green sabers, though ones more blue and the other’s more green

Hyoga: Just your standard blue

Shun: Pink, because ofc

Ikki: His first lightsaber is orange, but when he takes a dip into the dark side he gets one with a black core, though once he comes back to himself he goes back to his original blade

June: Turquoise

Jabu: Dual wields purple sabers, though they’re a little deeper colour than Saori’s

Geki: Dark green

Ban: Yellow-Orange

Nachi: Dual-wields standard blue and green sabers

Ichi: Purple, but paler than either Saori or Jabu’s. A few of the “lightdaggers” he has are different colours to reflect their personalities (or so Ichi says)

Ceilidh: Classic blue

Clara: Following in her sister’s footsteps she started off with the classic blue, but I think she considers changing that at some point

[dreamychaos]

Dark brown

Biology (especially marine biology *_*), art, graphic design and a little bit of math and english

Gravity Falls, Invader ZIM, Samurai Jack, Chalk Zone, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Over the Garden Wall, Chowder, Teen Titans, Code Lyoko, Bo-bobo, Inuyasha, Danny Phantom, Ben 10 (the original one), Generator Rex, the early seasons of Spongebob from before the first movie, Konosuba, Durarara!, Full Metal Alchemist, and wow i know it looks like i watch nothing but cartoons and anime but... i just really like them.

If anyone wants to try this questionnaire meme thingy, feel free to do it!

[regina-del-cielo]

I was tagged by @sanctuarycolumn​, glad you’re back honey! ^__^

1. How tall are you?

1,61 m, which according to my converter translates into 5′3′’? Anyway, too short than what I’d like.

2. What color and style is your hair?

Long and wavy-ish (meaning they don’t stay completely straight but don’t have definite waves either); my natural colour should be a very dark brown, but I dye them mahogany red.

3. What color are your eyes?

HAHAHAHAHA I have no freakin’ idea. An unnerving mixture of grey and green, with small traces of hazel brown around the pupil. Depends on the light, really. Fuck them.

4. Do you wear glasses?

Yup, I’ve got them since the end of elementary school, if I remember correctly.

5. Do you have braces?

Not now, not ever, thank goodness.

6. What is your fashion sense?

Should be something along the lines of ‘simple yet elegant/classy’, I think...

7. Do you have any siblings?

Two, both older than me - a brother and a sister.

8. What kind of student are you?

The one that absorbs notions like a sponge and relies on her memory to remember the most ridiculous trivia - and that studies by reading and re-reading on loop the material until exam day - it has always worked pretty well so far. One who’s completely terrified by oral examinations, and never asks questions in class because they just don’t come and sometimes feels stupid for not having them.

9. What are your favorite subjects?

When I was in high school, they were History of Art, Science, English and Italian and Greek Literature. Now that I take Marine Biology at uni I’m basically digging my favourite subject, so... none specific?

10. What are your favorite TV shows?

Uhm... Law&Order, F.R.I.E.N.D.S. (for old times’ sake), Saint Seiya, Midsomer’s Murders, Blue Bloods... I’m a lot into crime, if I have to say so.

11. Favorite Books?

Pride and Prejudice (or really, anything written by Jane Austen), The Importance of Being Earnest, Harry Potter, Herodotus’ Histories, and probably others I can’t remember right now.

12. Favorite pastime?

Reading, drawing, writing, listening to music, browsing the web, fangirling about Saint Seiya, daydreaming, sleeping.

13. Any regrets?

Do you prefer the list to be in alphabetical or chronological order? Anyway, I think the biggest ones are dropping out almost every activity I ever started as a child - playing the piano, singing lessons, horse-riding... you name it, it would feel like a wasted occasion, like my brain likes to remind me in the wee hours of the morning.

14. What is your dream job?

Being a whale-watcher, or a cetacean behavioural ecologist. All I want is literally to be surrounded by whales and dolphins.

15. Do you want to get married?

Not sure. I never had a relationship, so I don’t even know if I could consider it with a ‘specific person’, but considering what marriage usually implies I’d probably say no?

16. Do you want to have kids and how many?

NO WAY IN HELL. Too much of a hassle. I don’t like children and I get irked at the mere idea of pregnancy. Not a job for me.

17. How many countries have you visited?

Just two. Portugal (only Lisbon) and Greece (only a small fraction).

Now, who to tag? @sanctum-of-fantasy​, @wishingyoucouldshowmelove​, @teary-eyed-circle-of-friendship​, @xocowilde​, @alice451​, if you want go ahead! ^-^
