uh... whuh? it's there?

oh this reminds me to something..... like the opposite .... to activate instead of deactivate and on a female body instead of a male one....

INFOLD I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

[draceempressa]

people like to joke hiruzen actively try to prevent orochimaru from reanimating minato in the chunin exam, what if minato actually answered that edo tensei summon out of sheer grudge of what the village did to naruto ? he may not kill hiruzen outright, instead asking for details with kunai on hiruzen's neck, apparently even mikoto couldn't take care of naruto bc she's dead too, slaughtered by her own son no less, kakashi was prohibited to, and jiraiya is jiraiya. well

well well well well. they called his baby boy a demon for the fox inside him, aren't they. what are they gonna do if their beloved yondaime have the other half of the fox and sic said fox at them in the middle of this suna invasion, hmmm?

kurama: do you want to go apeshit

minato: i literally come back from the reaper's belly just to go apeshit from the sheer fucking rage, so, fucking yes.

also with minato at orochimaru's side, there will be no sasuke retrieval arc, as minato could just snatch both sasuke and naruto straight to oto.

sometimes I think Henry's plan for Malleus is like how real life poaching for pets are, kill the parent, and then take the shocked infant (from the parent's death) and condition it to a pet....

and malleus isn't even hatched but he is conscious to certain degree.... yikes.

[draceempressa]

sasunaru corpse bride au where minato is emily, danzo killed him in his wedding day before he and kushina can exchange rings and buried him in the uchiha compound to frame them (kushina already preggy with naru)

sasunaru becomes a thing , and you know how the corpse reanimated, yeah....

sasuke: WAIT AREN'T YOU THE YONDAIME? NARUTO'S DAD? WHY ARE YOU IN OUR COMPOUND?"

minato: AREN'T YOU SASUKE? MIKOTO'S BABY ? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS THE UCHIHA COMPOUND, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN NARUTO'S RING

naruto: OI SASUKE, THAT'S MY DAD ! WTF? YOU HAVE OYAKODON FETISH ?

ofc minato's regret was more about being part of marriage than actually interested in sasuke, and he moves on after blessing the sasunaru marriage, returning naruto's ring, but not before beating danzo to bloody pulp with his own bare hands (i think he deserve to do it), he may overstep the rule of the dead cannot hurt the living thing

"sorry shodaime-sama but this is danzo. I think an exception can be made."

i like references ot canon, so in horror that naruto's ring stuck to his finger, minato try his best to take it off, he cannot take the ring from his finger no matter what he do, (not until he finally relieves his regret) but he can take his arm off his body, being a corpse and all, so he does that. the part where naruto punches minato bc he's not in his life? his undead eyeballs roll out from the sockets , he vomits out maggots and more flesh fell out from the impact and he tried to recollect and reattach his body parts as he trying to continue to talk to naru.

danzo: I killed you!

minato: and put my corpse in the uchiha compound? you must really want both uchihas and I gone. Sorry to say, it will not happen! Naruto will marry Sasuke tonight!

Degel: - He headed towards Kanon Island on an early morning boat… - …to defeat a Dark Star.

Sasha: - It can't be helped. - Given his situation… - …I regret that I can't give my blessing as the Goddess of War to a new Gold Saint. - But still… - I'm sure that Kanon Island will lend him its power…

Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas – Bangai-hen Crimson Rebirth (Part 1)

This is the script for the special chapter that was published in January 2022, the first of a three-chapter arc about Defteros.

Page 1

Defteros: - (Why…?) - (Why have you stayed with me…) - (…Gemini?)

Pages 2 + 3

Defteros: - (Even though I'm the one who killed your master…) - (…my twin brother…) - (…Aspros!)

Pages 4 + 5

Defteros: - ! - (Frost…) - Hey! - Hold back your ice before you put out my fire… - …Aquarius Degel.

Page 6

Degel: - Looks like you remember me. - I'm glad, Defteros.

Defteros: - Cut the chit-chat! Why did you come here?

Degel: - I have orders! - The Pope has assigned a mission to you…

Page 7

Degel: - …the new Gold Saint... - ...Gemini Defteros!!

Page 8

Defteros: - Y— - You can't be serious!! - I'm a despicable star of ill omen that's lived in hiding!! - Making me a Saint is—

Degel: - And yet you were allowed to look after the Gemini Cloth, weren't you? - It seems to me like the Pope's decree is only reasonable. - After all, you are already qualified and able. - And this mission is on Kanon Island.

Defteros: - !! - What?!

Degel: - That's where you're going tomorrow, isn't it? Perfect timing, wouldn't you say?

Page 9

Defteros: - So that's how it is... - That Pope Sage… - How crafty is he?…

Degel: - Heheh… - It just means he trusts you. - This mission is not an easy one, though. - Have you noticed? - A few months ago, one of Hades's Dark Stars fell on Kanon Island.

Pages 10 + 11

Degel: - The island is now in turmoil under the influence of an evil cosmo. - Since it's close to our shores, Sanctuary has sent troops there multiple times, but not a single soldier has returned. - Several of the residents of Kanon Island have also gone missing. - They're so terrified that they are even spouting things such as…

Page 12

Degel: - …how a man-eating demon has occupied the island's volcano.

Page 13

Defteros: - Hey! - Do you Sanctuary people always go out wearing these restrictive clothes? - I don't get the point…

Degel: - Not everybody does, but it's best not to alarm people unnecessarily. - But… - Oh! You don't think they suit you?

Page 14

Defteros: - Stop that. - You'll drain away my motivation to go face the demon.

Page 15

Degel: - We can't have that. - I'll end up getting scolded by the Pope. - … - I'm sorry about Aspros.

Defteros: - !

Degel: - I heard about it. How he was killed after plotting to manipulate you with the Illusion Demon Emperor's Fist to assassinate the Pope. - I was one of the many who admired his intelligence and strong presence… - …but I never imagined that he would go that far.

Defteros: - Yes… - My brother was formidable…

Page 16

Defteros: - Now that he's gone… the world feels awfully quiet. - A whole new path that I never even imagined was possible has suddenly opened up before me and I'm genuinely bewildered. - From here, you can see the fumes of Kanon Island's volcano in the distance. - It's powerful and sinister. - Ever since I was little, I've wondered what it would look like up close.

Page 17

Defteros: - As somebody who lived in hiding, the world outside Sanctuary always seemed so foreign to me. - That's why, Degel…

Degel: - …

Defteros: - …I can't help but feel as if this quiet is only temporary.

Page 18

Defteros: - In his final moments, my brother struck his own brain with the Illusion Demon Emperor's Fist.

Degel: - ?!

Defteros: - Why did he do that? - Even after burying his remains, this ominous feeling won’t go away.

Page 19

Defteros: - It has to mean that he did not intend that to be the end.

Degel: - That's ludicrous…

Defteros: - I am going to meet this demon not for the sake of the mission.

Page 20

Defteros: - I'm going so that I can become the demon.

me denying older geminis are similar: this essay

me admitting younger gemini are indeed similar:

but no really.... Their level of playfulness vary (Kanon totally would do pranks, when Defteros and Sojiro would've settle with trash talk) ,, Defteros and Sojiro are also much less malicious and arrogant than Kanon, but younger gemini usually are more similar than older ones, as their main similarity is that, they are both yearning to the older twin, and somehow playful, and not only that,

genuinely manipulative, though the playfulness and manipulativeness does hide the previous yearning to the older (defteros later bust open that closet of shame with the loudest bang he could muster though, when kanon and sojiro are bent to carry that yearning to their graves). But either way their yearning have same roots with their manipulative, playful manner, that it stems from their full awareness that they're all the younger twin.

Sojiro is even closer to Kanon's mentality at hades arc, of the "if I love him, I better let him go do what he wants, his happiness is my happiness" ,while he used (keyword, used, in past tense) to have that mindset too before 25, the 27 yo Defteros is more like "if I'm his, then he's also mine" .

But yeah, overall way more similar than older twins

[draceempressa]

Degel's appearance looks like hes as cold as camus.... at first

but the more you know , nope, he's not as emotionally constipated like camus is, he's pretty expressive for an aquarius.

the moment unity shows up, the moment he thaws (literally, degel is french for thawing, it's even noted in his gaiden)

it looks like kardia is the one who obeys him, as he notes "only this time I will listen to you"meaning normally it's the other way around, kardia who listens to degel.

degel goes thru the five stages of grief in both main lc and hia gaiden, in order:

denial:

anger:

bargaining:

depression:

acceptance

Noteworthy that in either cases, he was constantly wavering, affected to how personal the fights are to him (both unity and krest) , he's the first to lost his shit when pandora seemingly killed unity when ironically kardia is more consistent in his feelings, be either boredom or pleasure, when degel, again, is the one who lost his shit (even if briefly, noteworthy that kardia is the ne who called him out on that) and goes through the five stages of grief in his fight due to how personal it is to him, to fight his master first and later his childhood friend, friend in same path of study. He actually parallels Hyoga more than Camus himself, despite his design. While he clearly hold Seraphian in high regard, from how he saw her, from how he called her "Lady Seraphina" but directly called Unity by name, it is likely it's more because of closeness than disrespect, as he still remind Unity he shouldn't do this as the Lord's son. Regardless of the lack of honorific used with Unity, he obviously see both siblings in high regards, hold them very, very, very dearly, not only he can barely keep his shit straight with Unity, but also, chose to die with Seraphina. (other than Dohko tried it with Kagaho, keyword tried, and gemini twins also does it, you would think teshirogi do have a thing for together in death trope)

As Krest put it, he's actually sensitive. he cried not only when fighting unity, but also when he carried seraphina from garnet's mansion

He's also surprisingly playful, shown as he winked to Flourite, he's also shown to agitate Aspros, poking where it greatly matters for the older gemini, first is the twin's similarity (or better said, either twin are offended when people imply they are NOT similar) and the second is his ambition to be pope. He's not being insensitive, he's intentionally pokes Aspros where it hurts. Considering he can go out of his way to avoid Aspros, him not only approaching Defteros but also knows where it hurts for Aspros shows that...

not only to bluegraad siblings, he also.... seemingly interested, to put it mildly, in both Gemini twins. He looks so excited when Defteros is neatly dressed in the travel suits, but also Aspros glitters in his flashback as he admits he admires Aspros, the only person more academically intellectual than himself in the entire sanctuary, as well his tenacity , perseverance and hard work. This isn't the first time he admits it, he also did it in Defteros' gaiden. Talking to Defteros as to how awesome Aspros is, and later be excited when Defteros put on the coat? He's interested in both twins, alright.

[draceempressa]

sometimes I remember Degel canonically was down bad like BAD for BOTH gemini twins like canon he was like this during defteros' bangaihen (2022 material) honestly same degel same

I kid you not, here's actual screenshot of him being down and Looking/Thinking Respectfully for each twin

he's more tsun to aspros's face but he's honest to defteros how he looks to aspros Respectfully kek , aspros was extra glittery and handsome there yeah degel's down bad for aspros too not just defteros

[draceempressa]

[draceempressa]

I know how high the mortality rate of leomon and his variants in the entire digimon franchise ,just, the idea of it extends to the human partners, of all ways to die,

FALL? FELINE WHO DIES FROM FALL? WHERE'S THE FELINE GRACE?

Really? just adds extra layer of irony

Leomon (and variants) mortality rate too high they don't even have feline grace despite being felines. kek.

though consideeing Taichi was completely unscathed, not even a single scratch, maybe Daigo deliberately "transfers" his feline grace to Taichi to save him. ugh feels.

i gotta fix this I gotta write a fic where they both have the feline grace

[draceempressa]

oh sega really knows what they are doing when they make an arthurian legend sonic game and they make shadow lancelot of the verse

"but isn't lancelot have always been THE black knight?"

well yes, but the fate:zero incarnation often uses machine gun . and iconic with fighter jet too. But more importantly this line from berserker lancelot is basically all lancelot sonic fanfics

on the other hand delight works really knows what they are doing when they give galahad white hair

oh they know what they're doing

i'm sure they know what they're doing when they make fairy lancelot *checks list*

-remnant of the ULTIMATE LIFEFORM, who is also said to "cannot return to the stars"

-touted not only as the strongest knight but also most beautiful

-another gun nut

-takes pride in her speed

-black mud as symbolism for sins and grudges

-called herself "freak of nature" due to the circumstances of her "birth"

-goes apeshit after a blonde woman dies

-themes involves heavy metal with prominent electric guitar

-tapping into her real power wanes sanity, hurts her physiologically and psychologically

-red black monster form

hmmm....

[draceempressa]

it's as if they are made for this meme

[draceempressa]

Sojiro: Guys I can explain

Defteros: How come your twin drama "only" last three months and not a decade? make up without dying?

Kanon: You guys eventually get together with your twin? marketed as a set?

Integra: You guys got writing and marketing?

[draceempressa]

if bamco is really going with xiaoyu!s phoenix theme.... I mean, she has all that feather motif in her T8 dress, and the T8 dress actually has the phoenix motif embroidered on it.

then they had the chance to go all out with it. with the symbolism of the phoenix.

"the whole death and rebirth thing?"

no no not that.

furthermore...

well...

bamco has the chance to do the funniest thing and go all out now

[draceempressa]

I've seen lots of headcannons with the Twst boys breaking down or showing a more softer side as OOC, like, why? Why having the Twst boys show any hint of vulnerability or hints of kindness as too OOC, like, I've seen Riddle, Azul and Vil cry, I've seen some few boys show an act of kindness even those who don't look like a kind person or in denial, despite their own personal gain. Seeing that as OOC by others makes me think that they don't know that they still have human like feelings.

Because maybe, they are projecting. It takes more force to break steel than to break glass, but it doesn't mean there's no way to damage the steel, as well people hate to admit even emotional comfort is transactional. Yes, everything is transactional, but the question wasn't "is the act transactional or not' but "how small/big the trade is?" , a simple concept many people doesn't understand. I strongly believe true sincerity doesn't exist, as even emotional comfort is something. if you got complained after you help someone, you feel upset, right? then, you did want something, even as small as the person say thank you. The possibility of even the strongest person breaks, as well the idea of true sincerity doesn't exist, is what people hard to understand or accept.
