#3.3 Update

[fictionfixations]

3.3 update (playing through it)

was so scared it was a day earlier because my internet was out for 16 hours but it came back a few hours ago so YIPPEE

i also wouldve probably been late anyway playing games w/ my friend if not for them having a headache so oop

anyway

PHAINON NEXT PATCH LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO also they havent drip marketed whose the other person next patch right?

THERES MULTIPLAYER MODE??

oh its for seal slammers LMAO i was so confused like??? CO OP!?!?!???!

doing hyacines trial rn i think shes cute but i dont think shes really for me (also i like aventurine i dont wanna switch him out even if theres a better alternative for my team. also im saving for phainon)

animations are very very pretty

wait theres only two more coreflames we gotta get? i know people were being like lmao you sure at hyacine in the trailer when shes like the flame chase journey is almost over but like

.....so wait we get the sky titan now, boss for aquila

no idea about kephale but there was that cutscene with phainon at the end

typo

STOP

i never remember how cipher sounds, she has a unique voice imo i just never can remember it when im reading out like her dialogue (shes texting us rn so not voiced ofc)

are we getting flame reaver already???

im unsure but mem said its a familiar presence and to be careful...

NOOO ITS A PIECE OF BLACK FABRIC

WHAT THE FUCK

are you drunk

lmao mem just went 'what.'

??? WHY IS HE MEOWING

ITS CIPHER

girlie dont tempt it hes gonna come after you like bitch how dare you impersonate me im gonna kill you lol (I DID pause during the trailer i SAW THAT ONE SCENE THAT MAKES ME THINK MMMMMMMMMMM CIPHER........)

'couldnt pass the chance to give us a good scare' you do know this is the dude who killed trianne right

also 'reminding us that amphoreus isnt safe' like ah yes remind us of that time we faced off against the flame reaver with us, cas, and trianne, and we hardly stood a chance without anaxa interrupting with the power of a titan. wouldnt say i count the other time too considering mydei who had the power of a titan (after the trial) had interrupted as well

like im sure we're strong in our own right but man..... i dont know man

im taking this too seriously sob

wait but was that cloth actually from the flame reaver or was it a fake??? her dialogue is very vague

also in the first place how the fuck is the flame reaver continuing to lose parts of his cloak like hello ????

sir i really dont think that helps you not be noticed

what if 'petty change' refers to like coins, because im thinking of coins as like cents right and like in small quantities dont really matter

but what if that applies to like cipher's coins? fuck i already forgor but i think she used them to transport us to places. i might be wrong. like what if it gets knocked out of her hands somehow, shes trying to reach for it and she dies before she can?

i wonder if that makes sense. bare with me i might write nonsensical things because im gonna get progressively more tired as i play through it, but i just like playing it all in one sitting its a preference

wtf

lygus you..?!?!?!

youre like the worst kind of neutral the fuck like oh yeah you stay neutral but you also just dont do shit ??? im thinking i was right to have misgivings about you last patch but i worried i was being too mean so i deleted those thoughts

bruh.....

'hope to offer a peaceful solution' you say after people surround dan heng with ill intent like wow. sure.

what do you mean you 'remain neutral'

if you knew that people will ill intent towards someone and you brought them over to where you knew they were in an attempt to convince them to no longer support the flame chase journey, then dont do shit dont even warn us as they come out when we refuse then the fuck you mean youre neutral?

do you think that because you offered to help us leave that that means youre supporting us, and that by not informing us of the other people youre supporting them, and thus you are neutral on both sides?

id rather you not even do anything at all in that case cause that means i just cant trust you. at all.

im actually so pissed off

CUTSCENE????

BUT NOT REALLY

wHAT

?? are you having nightmares about the flame reaver

i wasnt entirely sure but also like that reminds me of the cutscene back when we were fighting flame reaver and he was aiming for mydei's back cause i also paused to take a better look at what was going on in that cutscene

and also because it said we were back to the grove of epiphany and hearing phainon reminded me that he asked us to train with him

so it made no sense for flame reaver to be there. to me at least. especially with what phainon was saying

oh 'battling the phantoms of the past in the river of time' so its like flame reaver but not the real one just a recreation from a past battle

ah so not really a nightmare

AAAAAAAAAAA i cant wait to walk around as phainon. sorry hes my favorite out of all the chrysos heirs

this is only contributing more to the idea that elysia or well cyrene is related to mem in some way (i always remember elysia first and then the hsr name of cyrene)

?? that looks just like you wtf

crazy.

what the fuck are cleaners

how was this not mentioned in the special program tf

wait this is worse

lygus was working with cleaners, who are literally assassins targetting the chrysos heirs??? yeah sure explain to me how thats 'neutral' SUREEE

caenis the fuck happened to your humanity i thought you wanted 'good' for the people of okhema, or at least thats what you claimed

tf

you would harm a child. just because she was kind to a chrysos heir

like excuse me children are young they can learn and you just look at that and think no whats the point, lets just torture her because she happened to meet a chrysos heir

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

'if you were blind, deaf, and mute, would you still be the aglaea of today' yeah bitch id shoot you the middle finger. take my hands away ill spit at you and throw up on you. take that away ill fucking shit on you dont test me ill rebel all i want you mf

sorry i iike have so much pent up anger at caenis but im just trying to speed past any scenes containing her because i just cant give a fuck

anyway all this means is that the people of okhema are gonna hate you now like bitch you so fucking salty you wont even listen to what won in a DEMOCRATIC VOTE???????

?? is this why aglaea is rerunning this patch? (I think)

cifera?

is this the past? aglaea has more emotion in her voice and cipher sounds younger

oh cifera is cipher

whats with all these hints that bartholos might be a fake

'isnt that my' 'isnt that the controller for a hand of zagreus'

thinking i missed lore about who tf bartholos actually is

holy shit so much reading

OKAY uh

its about like. the black tide reaching styxia and like. um. more shit happening but i ngl cant remember what would cause something like that? like its been glowing? ???

i am so confused

IS THAT A FUCKING SCARAB *breathes in and out* sorry i just suddenly remembered genshin searching for scarabs to level up a character (it might not be idk its been awhile since ive seen them)

oh is it like a bug

like an actual bug but also the bug that listens into shit?? damn

hysilens

?? aglaea are you gay for her or is it like a she showed you how to be free and shit like that and you admired her for being able to do that or something something

so aglaea wasnt always blind, it just seems to be a thing that came with her being a demigod and/or being one for a very long time

i cant believe aglaea is saying her last words but her form is a bug like dude..

huh so bartholos is zagreus???

LMAO not her threatening a literal titan

im unhappy that aglaea's dead what do you mean it was the cleaners

like sorry man i hate caenis so much that i cant even accept the explanation

i cant even take the cleaners seriously

im sure it started with good will but well theyre evil assholes now so like whatever

i think i just find it bullshit because 1 its fucking caenis and also the cleaners we heard no mention of beforehand but sure ill accept it

also i dont think i got that attached to aglaea actually so whoops my bad

i just. hadnt really formed much of an opinion of her. so. whoops. at this point im just angry man.

STOPPPPP this might actually get me dude....

sorry you uh your body fell off into the baths right in front of everyone...

i see. so it was planned.

phainon described the flame reaver's sword to chartonus and that was the kind of sword he wanted???

fuck dude

i still havent seen the cutscenes from the trailer and we also havent even gone to fight aquila yet

man it feels like. so much has already happened wtf

its only been like an hour

oh my god theyre disappearing after they say their words in the image

is he.. actually hearing them?

i dont know

im sad.

no its his imagination

im still sad.

MYDEIIIII

he looks more like himself in comparison to the others in the previous one. because hes still here? i mean cas is too technically but uh also kinda not?

GAY

IS THAT CYRENE

she sounds so much like mem

and the change in the background when cyrene comes and when she disappears its still like that instead of the blue sky of before

im using so many screenshots im gonna hit the limit but i like to show all the cgs as well as changes to it

'i cant sing as well as miss hysilens' who is that?

i swear in one of the videos for amphoreus showing the chrysos heirs there was one we still havent met yet right?

i might be wrong

ciphers gonna die isnt she

im so glad this is a good ancestor who isnt like prejudiced or something man

oh theres multiple

DAMN

so hysilen took over the ocean titan

and the mountain dweller. sounds familiar cant remember. was it that one person mydei mentioned way back in.......... im unsure, i think maybe when he and phainon were conversing before mydei did his trial or something like that? i forget.

???!?!?! SEAL SLAMMERS MENTION

tutorial made it seem more complicated but its not that hard i just panic with a lot of text on screen for tutorials cause ilke uh huh ill definitely remember that

sorry i havent been typing much ive been focusing

lmao

me: uses feixiao's technique to go speed past the bridge

aquila: haha no bridge for you

GUYS.............................

my dumbass setting the wrong team going into aquila so just sitting through the story trying to get past it so i can change my team

like do i look like i need two sustains

....maybe

if that sounds off its because my dumbass accidentally deleted what i originally wrote explaining what happened and me trying to type again what i already wrote just gets a downgrade in quality

off topic but i havent been lagging at all during cutscenes LETS GOOO

also so great to make it to phase 2 and immediately have a character die because my dumbass was holding off on using ults until phase 2 for maximum damage

man this would be such a different story if i had cas because global passive LMAOOO

also goddamn phainon

ive really just been lagging when i run too fast and load too much of the map at once

if dan heng is saying anything sorry im not paying attention im trying to focus on the battle

...aglaea.

okay thats aquila down

theres still not the cutscene of dan heng il, flame reaver, cipher uh down, tribbie doll, and the shot of phainon at the end......

im so stressed

I KNEW WE WERE GONNA LOSE HER BRACELET MAN GAHHH

and thats the shot of phainon hitting the ground. i forgot about that until it just happened

also fuck man hearing her voice again recalling her prophecy and yeah she did.

she definitely did.

not the kind of gold we thought. i know some people were theorizing like oh like golden blood

ngl cant remember what the 'gold' down there is, i think its been referred to as like aquila's divinity but also like lava or something?? regardless it is still gold, though perhaps not the golden blood of aglaea's that we thought it was originally

phainon....

oh my god we're fighting again

HOLY SHIT THATS COOL

also cool we were meant to lose there okay LMAO

we got the cutscene of phainon going 'i am the blazing sun, destined to rise' with his sword

but damnn hyacine

that was cool as fuck wth

also vocal music in the background

huh

so glad im not absolutely getting my ass beat in this boss fight but thats also because i have hyacine here otherwise id be fucked, and additionally because of the extra heal story-wise hyacine is giving us (like yknow how in phantylia's boss you can do the thing once it builds to have like dan heng il there and do an attack? idk what the name of it is but its that in this fight but with hyacine healing)

sorry im like not reading whats being said at all oopsie the animations are so cool

okay so that cutscene lagged, cant believe hyacine gets the hella cool cutscenes LMAOOO (i get it though, its like one of the last coreflames we gotta get and kephale i dont think we're fighting??)

also i think i briefly saw dan heng boutta use cloudhymn(?) magic? i forget the name i think its something like that. like uhh the orb he has in dan heng il

oh shit now we gotta see ciphers pov

..........

....is phyton phainon 😭

oh my god im so tired that tripped me up so bad i forgot how to spell phainon and kept spelling phaethon NOO i thought i got over mixing up the names

and its the flame reaver...

not the way cipher is making him seem less like a threat but im also pretty sure she may die so like HMM

i love how ciphers va is doing cipher shes so like.. unhinged

but that also might be the stress and panic of flame reaver being there that she sounds kinda like that like WOO adrenaline pumping

also the fuck is up with the flame reaver's voice?

its like single words or words in parts but like. before bruh was like 'three slashes will be enough' or some shit

???

dude i bet phainon's va was having so much fun (kudos to their performance i really enjoyed it!) LMAO .... the theory that flame reaver is phainon though.... interesting interaction? i mean i know theyve fought before but this is one on one.

'*Dolos profanity*' LMAOOO NOT THE BEEP

LMAO also oh fuck fighting flame reaver

its her in different colors

'slacking cipher. focused cipher. enraged cipher.'

I TOLD YOU

I TOLD YOU!!!!

where the fuck is my prediction about cipher's prophecy idfk i wrote so much oh my god

flame reaver takes her coin 'petty change', she goes back to get it and it leads to her death

AGHHHHHHH

i mean we couldve probably been able to tell considering in that moment she no longer has the upperhand and also shes dead in another cutscene so ..

god.. her eyes. dont have a light anymore.

cipher begging aglaea to say something hurts dude ohh my god you dont need to drag it out this long hoyo please im begging

SHE SAID SOMETHING

ciphers smiling light in her eyes reaching her hand out to grab aglaea's that reached out to her and told her that she saved them all

PLEASE dont cut to her dead PLEASEEEEEE dont cut to her lifeless body im gonna lose it if it does AGHHHHH

FUCK YOU HOYOVERSE

IMUISHFUISHUFAJ

oh god and the bug she saw with the golden tint of aglaea's wasnt her at all it was just a normal bug that happened to be there

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I DONT WANNA BE SAD OVER THEM

anyway sky turned red. thats another part from the trailer. ah. so cipher died so now the lie she made has now become undone with no one to hold it up anymore

................ is amphoreus a simulation

????? ..stares at honkai impact 3rd

stares at honkai star rail

...if its not clear hi3 has simulations. and a lot of people pull from hi3 when talking about hsr specifically amphoreus considering there were also like the flame chasers in hi3

is this a simulation???? why point out the building thats see through and be like ??? never seen that before and then move on

im. so fucking suspicious

especially with what flame reaver was talking about

MYDEIII

i can see how it pains phainon to turn and go instead of fight but he also understands

its still not over.....

'leave this to castorice and me (mydei)'

i cant remember all the shots but we're still missing that one with the tribbie doll

agh.....

chartonus....

DAN HENG?????

...........................god if this is a simulation, everyone dies, us and phainon come back to a reset and its like just-- '..what?'

actually what role does march play in this is my question... cause theres that thing going on with her.. aghh

LETS GOOO DAN HENG IL

PHAINON PLEASE

actually wait what if we both get brought back to the astral express we're like ?? the fuck no we're coming back and we come back and everythings reset

oh thatd be fuckedd

...trinnon..

mydei......

can i stop playing, can i just like. go. read some no trauma au of amphoreus where we're all happy adniusjfhiufh

HERTA

whats an emperor's scepter

i was boutta throw hands worried it was gonna end there but no its ok

what the fuck happened to your name

well i know phainon isnt your real name but..

IS THAT CYRENE

i..

AND THATS WHERE IT ENDS

FUCKKK

OH MY GOD PHAINON LEFT A MESSAGE

my

my heart is breaking

i hit the image limit so im gonna type it all out

bare with me for any typos

---------------

Phainon's Message

"If it was Mydeimos standing here... He would be wiser and more capable than me, right?" - After Aglaea departed, these words wouldn't stop echoing in my head. It was something I couldn't escape from, and also something I absolutely refused to utter. How could I be worthy of my comrades and allies' trust? What right have I to stand upon her shoulders and guide others? These questions remain unanswered. But there is no time for doubt. The first enemy the "Dawnmaker" must vanquish is the hesitation and sorrow that have shadowed me this far. That's why I resolved to aid you during your return. Even if it incomprehensible, even if this means I must impose my will on you, I have to see it done. Because the promise of the Era Nova is unclear, to you, who came from beyond Amphoreus, its influence cannot be predicted... After I cleansed my doubt, I find that this is the right decision, born from the depths of my heart. The prophecy claimed that only one person can reach the final end of the Era Nova. Please forgive me for stealing your chance to witness the miracle. My friend, it's because of the prophecies made by Lady Tribbie that the Chrysos Heirs made it to today... And so, even if we must face the scenes from the promised age, I cannot risk bringing you with me. Thinking back, maybe the only thing I did right in this life is choosing to trust you, and becoming friends with you all. I faintly feel that, perhaps, the greatest miracle of Amphoreus isn't so much the secrets hidden within the Vortex of Genesis... but rather the instant you and Dan Heng descended from the sky. You are the hero of my heart, [Trailblazer]. If the next life comes to pass, no matter what I become... I will make sure the world remembers the miracle of the Trailblaze. But... I mean... If you don't approve of my solitary decision and plans to create a new path with myself, toward a future that no one could imagine... - You'll always find a way to break the rules, right?

----

things to note. 'even if this means i must impose my will on you' and there was that line he said about theres a line between a [something] hero and a tyrant that can be easily passed or something i think prob from aglaea first

i wanted to mention another curious thing but i forgot, ghhh its really late for me

what if i cry

i.....

what do i do now..

it acnt just end there cmon dont be shy give us the next update ill stay up all night if i have to

dude.

i...

oh my god.

"A lie can be the truth if enough people believes it."

SHE'S DEAD?!

ZAGREUS'S BLESSING IN TRICKERY IS OVER, NO MORE PROTECTION - SHE LITERALLY CARRYING THE WHOLE OKHEMA ON HER SHOULDER ALONE, WITH A LIE! SHE LEAVES OKHEMA BECAUSE AGLEA WILL FOUND OUT AND THAN THE LIE WILL BE EXPOSED AND THAN THIS DISASTER WILL HAPPEN CENTURIES EARLIER!-

TRULY THE UNSUNG HERO OF AMPHOREUS, PEOPLE!

[princesscas-ao3]

i know this was a serious scene but all i could think during it was "add phainon to the list"

[oldgermanthehunter]

I love it when Things comes together. In the Golden Gears, we played through the discovery of Inorganic life, Rupert I, the Intelligencia Guild where a familiar Doctor is present and Rupert II. It included snippets of when Herta became a genius by Solving Patavia's theory/equation. I never imagined that the THING in SU stories would be responsible. There's always the possibilities but glad they incorporated that.

This update is 8/10. I love the pacing, it's less drag compared to the previous quest. I hope they keep the Tempo.

A thing I just did

I made a video regarding my thoughts on Amphoreus' Golden Scapegoat Mutterings. It's just a slideshow, I didn't have enough time to add music or anything. It's just a thing I did like... -5 minutes ago. Please check it out if you're interested.

[thecoppersoulbox]

Obsessed with the glitch during the Avatar of the Sky fight where upon triggering the second phase, instead of the surroundings being the falling platform, the fight ended up taking place in the nether realm. It fixed itself after using an ultimate but dear god for a second I thought the consequences were so much worse than they already were. "Watch out the platform's falling!!" and then suddenly everyone's in the nether realm?? CHILLING accidental and unintentional implications. I can't stop thinking about it.

The other post was getting long, and this is a different sword, so here you go:

I actually fucking finished a mesh edit!!!!! Well, at least the meshing part. This thing has parts from three different sword meshes. Tomorrow it's on to texturing hell. I've never textured anything before in my LIFE, and I just know it's going to be miserable, lmao.

Especially since I assume I'm going to have to make a new uv map and I don't know shit about that. But I at the very least need a texture for renders, and this sword is low-poly enough that I could probably make it an in-game accessory too.

HEART & ARROW

by greenylove

series: you were spring (part 1) pairing: kaedehara kazuha x scaramouche, implied past niwa x kabukimono rating: teen/sfw warnings: none tags: post 3.3 update, canon compliant, scaramouche is called wanderer, wanderer pov, emotional baggage, angst, getting to know each other, hurt/comfort, battle couple vibes, flirty kazuha, hopeful ending

Wanderer struggles under the shadow of a past no one remembers. Then, a certain swordsman invites him to tea.

Red eyes, vivid as molten steel. That distinctive crimson swoop of hair, curling feather-like from the crown of his head. The man is young, strong, with the build of a warrior. He’s only half-dressed in a pale yukata, the top half of his haori folded down around his waist, but Wanderer can still discern the maple leaf pattern beloved of a certain clan who once forged the finest blades in Inazuma. That once begged him — but not him —

He stands face to face with the last remaining Kaedehara, and the ground falls out from under him.

Read the rest (and more!) on ao3!
