btw the fact that darkness exists in the light world means that light has to exist in the dark world and frankly that is REALLY fucking me up

the idea is simple but the execution is WILD to me. that means that darkners run cold but light is like shade in that it is a respite when the natural order of the world gets too COLD i guess? and you can just rest in warm light? i suppose you could hide in light? light happens where darkness isn't? is the sky light at night and darkners can see better in the dark? please understand i get to make new "dark" colors. i'm going insane over here. that's not how the world works. This is completely alien to me. IT SHOULD NOT EXIST.

but i guess that's how darkners feel about the light world, huh. guess their laws of physics make sense to them

What your favourite D4DJ unit says about you

Haven't seen anyone else do this, thought it might be fun.

Happy Around!: Either you have protagonist bias, or you are attracted to morons same

Peaky P-key: Your favourite trope is Rivals to Friends/Lovers (not excluding any romance-repulsed folk here) and you love confident women

Photon Maiden: You favourite trope is Unlikely Friendships, you like the idol aesthetic and there is a 45% chance that you are a space nerd

Merm4id: You're a huge fan of random humour and are probably a university student who finds them very relatable. Either that, or you're here for their... ahem... assets

RONDO: You prefer the darker aesthetic and your favourite trope is Found Family. Also you might want to get that childhood trauma looked into

Lyrical Lily: You are probably a literacy nerd, you might have grown up Catholic and you think they're really cute. Also, you're a huge fan of Hijinks and Shenanigans

Call of Artemis: You are more into older, more mature women and probably wish they were older, and you really like dramas. Also, you just. Wish. They'd. Get. More. Content already!

Unichørd: If you've been into D4DJ since before they were added, you were probably excited to hear Michiru would be getting her own unit. You like how they stay silly despite having a somewhat heavier story and your favourite ship is definitely Hayakoko

Abyssmare: You are even more emo than the RONDO fans and you love mentally ill women. You may or may not have liked them when they were first introduced, but seeing them develop and get along with the other characters has warmed you up to them either way

A Bad Cynic Doggo: You may have been wary about having another new unit in the roster, but after seeing their story you adore them. You like how their story is a lot darker in tone to everyone else's and you probably relate a bit too much to Eimi

LMO: You're just saying this one to be different, aren't you?

EGOEGG: Wait, you exist?

The new Photon cards are hella interesting to me so I'm gonna be talking about them for a little bit!

Here's the photon cards if you haven't seen them ^

So, I rambled. Here's the word count: 515 words.

The first few aspects of these cards that people notice is that they're similar to the Imprisoned Marionette cards from Project Sekai. I honestly can't blame this comparison at all because of Sato Hinata (also look at the cards from that prosekai event and compare) but I think there's a reason for this. The name for this gacha is 'REVERSE Gacha', so it's supposed to be the opposite to Photon Maiden's image. Then what is Photon's 'image' right now?

Photon Maiden's image at this point in time is a unit with a cyber or modern theme that wants to explore different colors for themselves to grow. Now, what is that in reverse? Photon Maiden's reverse image is a unit with an analog or vintage theme that wants to stay the same because of their managers/producers or even themselves. This is supported by the fact that Photon, in the cards, are doing poses as they're tied up in a bunch of puppet strings. They are forced to make these poses, it isn't done out of love or out of passion; they're like dolls.

One thing I haven't seen people notice is that the poses they make in the cards are similar to their initial 3*s. Here are the cards side by side:

If you compare each of them, Saki and Ibuki's poses in their cards are similar to their initial 3*s while Towa and Noa's poses are like a flipped (reversed) version of their poses.

Putting these cards side by side show that the newer cards are supposed to be the opposite to what Photon's image is. Look at the newer cards, the light (passion) in their eyes is gone. They aren't smiling, they look as though they're going through the motions. The colors in the card are super desaturated, even for D4DJ. Usually there's at least some sort of saturation, giving the lively feel of the usual event cards. But there isn't. There's no 'life' at all. Then look at their initial cards. Yes, it's old -- ignore the glowup in the art style -- but look at them. They're smiling, they're happy and there's so much light around them. That's the reason why they're called 'Photon' Maiden in the first place. Ibuki isn't smiling in her card but she has this determined look in her eyes that isn't present in the newer card.

These cards are what Photon would be if they continued following what Shano laid out for them. They never explored, they stayed stagnant, like a photo in a frame. They're forever stuck in that moment, never to change. Hell, even the fact that the cards' main color isn't even Photon's unit color supports this. It's purple. That's Shano's character color and also her unit's, Lynx Eyes, color. Yes, the dominant color in the initial cards the background is green and green isn't their unit color. However, the inverted color for green is purple; another way to say that is that purple is the reverse to green.

That's all I wanted to say about the new Photon Maiden cards, bye. I'm excited for the other units.

Don't touch me i need frames with aesthetic effects

.....What're yall hunting????

I feel like the fabric of spacetime makes more sense if it were actually the ocean of spacetime but aparently space has very little particles from a relative standpoint. dumb. those are dark particles and they're my friend

Are you sure you want to do this?

█████, did you forget how much we spent working on this? We can’t afford to quit now.

Yes, sir, I was just checking up with you. This just has... ramifications, if it goes wrong. We have the power of an entire neutron star in a small machine.

And we’ll need that power for ███████. Only with this we can bring him to our plane.

I’m not protesting, sir, but all of that power in a mortal body could be dangerous, even to ███████ himself-

███████ knows their ways. If this doesn’t work, then everything we’ve been working on is a lie, which is impossible. I’ve talked to them myself. This has to work. Continue.

...Yes, sir. Bring in the neutron.

(the neutron entered the room happy, carried by two photons. they were excited.)

Enter the machine, and sit still in the chair.

Yes, sir! 

I understand your enthusiasm, ████, I have it too, but there’s no need to shout. Start the machine, █████.

Understood. (they made the machine power on, whirring with anger.) I’m getting... mixed signals from this. Some settings might be wrong, I can shut it down, we can have a second chance-

And what happens when the police find the electricity bill? How many electrons we’ve practically destroyed to make this? There is no second chance. Keep going.

(the machine began whirring louder and higher. █████ prayed that their god was enough to keep them safe after all of this was over.) The machine will be ready in 10 seconds. 8 seconds. (as the photon counted down, the neutron was beginning to get... anxious. What was this? Sacrilege? No. They had to think good thoughts, good happy not mean thoughts that wont hurt anyone-) Now. (the room in the machine became pure white with electricity.) It’s not supposed to do that-

This, will work. Calm dow- (the machine started sounding like lightning bolts crashing, and the room turned the slightest bit... green?)

S-Sir, we need to evacuate. (the guards started to step back from the machine, a few running away.) This isn’t safe! We failed!

We did not fail. There is no way we could- 

(a deafening bang. the facility and everything near it was converted into some strange, green substance. from the middle of the decay, a voice could be heard.)

H-hello?

I spend my time trying to figure out what events will come out on both servers because I'm insane.

I don't know if we're going to get another REVERSE event before 4.5 anniversary because it's close, so we might just be getting random events.

I also don't know if we're going to get the final Arisugawa story on EN after only one event after the third part. We could because it's been delayed for so long, but the other parts had quite a few events between them, so it could go either way.

If by chance we do get another REVERSE event, they can't release it to EN until after the Arisugawa stories because we need to go through their REVERSE gachas first.

So if they do that and also want to have multiple events between the final two parts or between the REVERSE events, I'm just saying...

Now would be a great time to release White Photon Trip and Serenade of Fallen Cherry Petals event stories to EN.
