Welp, first ask in here. How do you do today?

Seeing all the Demigod Reader asks for some reason has me thinking of a whole nother series related to Greek Mythology that I feel would be a riot to clash with the Chain: Saint Seiya.

I have no idea how many people know or remember the series, but it's about a bunch of knights with the ability to use this supernatural energy called Cosmos to wield armors based off different constellations and Greek myths, like say Sagittarius, Andromeda, Scylla, Griffon etc, each armor has it's own thing and techniques going on depending on the Zodiac and there can be both Amazon's (female knights who wear masks and who mustn't let any man see their face, because then they either have to love him or kill him), Zodiac Knights (who serve and protect under Athena, who's basically pulling a Hylia by having a mortal vessel to do stuff on earth after the time or mythology, they wear armors or Cloths as they're called based on the 88 constellations and are divided by Bronze, Silver and Gold Cloths, gold being the Zodiac itself), Marina (Who serve under Poseidon ane Thetis, who wear armor based on an assortment of Greek Myths related to the sea like Scylla and Charybdis), and Specters (who serve under Hades and Persephone, who recently have taken to pulling a Demise, the specter armors actually vary a lot and when you die and swear yourself to Hades after having served another deity you can still use a dark reflection/imitation of the Cloth you already bore).

Most Zodiac Knights are sworn not to use weapons (unless they're special exceptions like Sagittarius, Andromeda, and technically Libra), so they each create unique techniques to be able to fight, say Aquarius uses ice and can trap someone into coffins made out of absolute zero ice, Pisces Knights use poisoned roses or some times have their own poisoned blood as a weapon (or the white rose who drains the blood out of a person's entire body) etc, and each knight has a different specialty plus the Cloths are actually sentient, like Fi sentient, they have to choose you to allow you to use them, they can protect you and they can die if sustaining enough damage (ex: the Andromeda Chain can actually move on it's own to point danger to it's knight, or reach without their input when in defense mode and it senses a threat, or this one moment in the anime where the Sagittarius armor moves on it's inactive mode to shield a Knight they know has potential to wield it).

I don't know why, but I think it would be hilarious for the Chain to meet a Sagittarius Knight/Amazon Reader who got Isekaied, because the Sagittarius Cloth arrows are special in that they can work like Light Arrows but to a much more destructive scale and technically Reader ain't fighting against humans so they can go HAM using them, and Light Arrows are usually reserved for the Links and Zeldas, imagine the confusion as they find this random armored person in the woods, surrounded by enemies, and they just shoot up into the sky in golden wings, draw a golden bow and carpet bomb the enemies with Light Arrows until the area is all but torn apart, I can just FEEL the questions. And the confusion if Sky pipes up that Fi is confused because the entire armor/equipment feels like her. Or an Aries Cloth user since they're usually the ones who make the cloth repairs who'll just get immediately accosted by Four and Legend, either way there's a lot of potential any of the Links to either get along or be incredibly confused but intrigued. Specially once Reader reveals they don't actually use weapons in the traditional sense at all, just their body and different techniques to fight (Wild offers to temporarily lend them a weapon until they can get their own so they don't only use a bow and Reader just gives him the Disappointed Knight Commander Look if they're a Gold Cloth user, plain refusing, Reader trying to explain why the bow/Andromeda Chain (an exclusive Bronze Knight weapon)/Libra Scales Armory (each part of the scales in the Libra Armor can turn into twelve weapons) is different because it's technically part of the armor and was used under extenuating circumstances and not against humans, because it's how they were trained, making in turn Time and Warriors intrigued). I don't know I just feel like there's potential for many hijinks there.

I have no clue what any of this is- and I think I'm a little lost, but man this sounds like such a well thought out universe!

I agree, there's plenty of wiggle room for hijinks. There's always room for shenanigans with Link around. >:D

That being said, I think any soldier would gravitate more towards Warrior and Wild since they would have "similar" background. Time is a hit or miss but he gets the premise of it.

But you know that Four would want to learn all the weapons that Reader has and how they use them! Wild too! But I think Four would to know how they work more than wanted to just learn how to use them or see them in action.

I ONCE TRIED TO WASH THAT SCUFFED OLD THING WHILE HE WAS TAKING ONE OF HIS NAPS, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT OFF HE WAS WEARING ANOTHER IDENTICAL ONE UNDERNEATH! AND ANOTHER! I GOT THROUGH TEN MORE LAYERS OF THE SAME THING BEFORE HE WOKE UP. I WAS SO FRUSTRATED! WHERE DID HE EVEN GET THOSE FROM? THEY ALL EVEN HAD THE SAME STAINS!!

I don't think I'll ever be a proper Content Creator because of the way my brain works, but my biggest goal is to somehow make a story that makes someone so mentally ill about a thing that they can't think straight. As I do. Every couple weeks or so. Someday it will happen and I will do skitter around dancing and cheering wildly on the subway platform in my brain

I have a dress that I call the Short Dress Of Mildly Stressful Street Encounters. I think it makes it very clear that not only am I not winning the conventional gender game, I'm deliberately playing a different one, and. it doesn't seem to matter how short the time I am out and about someone will react to that.

However, having someone yell 'looking fabulous' from a car going, crucially, the other way is one of the more benign manifestations of this power.

hi there, not trying to start anything weird and i hope i don't offend. i like your aesthetics, may i ask your opinions on the intrinsic connection between gothic-style nonconformity and gender presentation? or any thoughts on the matter? if that's too weird or broad of a question i'll take a gif if you've got one, no hard feelings.

in my personal experience i think the desire to subvert gender and to subvert mainstream culture often come from really similar places, alienation, cultural dissatisfaction, etc. androgyny has been a part of gothic style since it started (see specimen, dave vanian, robert smith, any random picture of a bunch of 80s goths, etc etcetc). & goth has always been to some degree political, so while obviously a lot of people dress goth for fun, the origins of the gender nonconformity of the style are imo very much ideological. a lot of early goths, even well into the 90s and now (though to a lesser extent, for better or for worse) were trying to push limits and shock mainstream audiences . often in unfortunate ways i will not lie but also gender nonconforming fashion (20+ years ago very controversial) was very much a part of that. i say "was" bc i find contemporary goth styles to be weirdly gender stratified and also subversion is dead when you have people on tiktok monetizing and sanitizing every little trend or twitch in subculture within days or even hours of it emerging.

Kaleidoscope of Death had a page count of 1900 and I thought that was a big undertaking, but here I am already eyeing The Earth is Online which has a page count of 2800

I can’t remember if I said it here but I started reading the Percy Jackson books exclusively for Nico di Angelo

I literally decided, running on hyperfixation juice, that reading 17 books for one little gay emo child was not only feasible but necessary to my mental health

And yknow what as I reach the 1/3 point in the lost hero I think I was right because I just looked up the length of the house of hades and it filled me with such powerful excitement that I almost forgot that isn’t even the book I’m most excited to read

open starter | mutuals encounter rin!

" i hate this. " the elf looks something between sick and furious as she paces her quarters ( this room is too small, this city too enclosed. she wishes she could be among the tress, away from all these people for just a few minutes ). rin's hair looks messier than usual, as if she's been running her hands through the ginger strands. " i hate this. i haven't used my name in ages for this very reason. my clan shouldn't suffer because of my choices. "

king edmund has found them. all these years of secrecy were for naught because that annoying, persistent bastard found them, threatened to kill every last member of rin's clan. as much as she still resents them, as much as she hates the idea of facing them, they don't deserve a target upon their backs ( she can't let them die. she can't let her father die. it doesn't matter how her heart still bleeds -- she can't lose them, too ).

" aneira said they've fled into the ravenwood. that'll deter any scouts for some time or at least make their jobs harder. the place is like a maze, i hear. " but it still isn't safe. she's heard the stories of what lurks in the dark, the creature that tempts travelers. rin's eyes flick to her companion, flecks of gold shining in the candlelight as she quits her pacing at last. her hands are clenched into tight fists at her sides, chin raised defiantly; this is the most still she's ever been, frame taught like a bow. " we have to find them first. i have to. i don't give a fuck what my council is saying. i'm going to find my clan and get them out of this mess myself. "

the silent question hangs in the air: are you with me or not?

okay so if washington square david bingham went off with edward and lipo-wao-nehele david bingham moves in with charles and both books have A david bingham led astray by an edward bishop then if my calculations are correct and book iii is about Eden (as opposed to david, but a girl) then david bingham must be her polyamorous grandfather who was in a polycule with both of them
