Orbital path of asteroid near miss in 2002. Yah, that’s how close we came to nuclear winter and possible total destruction.

Will you do anything with the whole thing where Aioria is Zeus’ vessel (like it was shown in Episode G)?

That's the idea. To begin with, the events of episode g occur 2 or 1 and a half years before the tournament for the Sagittarius cloth instead of six.

There is the mystery of: where Zeus has been for the last 3000 years while his brothers fought with Athena.

The fight of a Seiya possessed by Rodorio against an Aioria influenced by Zeus.

And more…

I once read a fic about how Lando's entire business was supported by marriages for tax benefits, including Han in this and Leia by extension and I thought:

What if we do this with the rebellion, basically to get money, ships, supplies, accompany to the hospital, etc... The rebellion has a habit of marrying any member they have to whoever provides them with supplies.

Even marrying members of the rebellion together just to connect different contracts. It's a disaster and they are one divorce away from collapsing on themselves. But it's so fun.

Even better if they have married each other several times on different planets without knowing that everything was legal.

The members of Rogue Squadron are married to each other and they don't know it.

Mon and Ackbar think that Han and Leia fight so much because they know they're married and hate it only to be woken up at 3 am by a furious Leia wanting to know, "What do you mean we're already married?!!"

If you join the rebellion, you marry the rebellion, I'm sorry for the imperial spies, you're also involved in this.

Will you write anything about the Bronze saints mothers?

Maybe, Hyoga, Seika, Ikki and Mei are the most likely to talk about their mothers.

Thoughts on Saint Seiya Dark Wing?

I think it has its charm, Athena and Hades with their armies forced to work together against a greater threat has potential.

And I like that in the last chapters they mention the vessels of gods or that the girl who is Athena is forced to be the goddess Athena even though she did not ask for it and she used to be a normal person.

But I would like at some point to mention the forgotten concept of the Hades saga that the ghosts were deceived by Hades by offering them eternal life but that is not going to happen.

I like the gold ones, having varied designs is great. Eito and Eulalia are my favorites.

We'll see how it progresses.

What was the relationship between Rodorio’s parents??

Comrades in arms, if you expect a love story you are not going to get it, both served the rulers of the ocean and were part of the highest ranks each serving one of the monarchs directly.

It is normal that they spent a lot of time together and decided to have fun when they were not slaughtering the armies of Athena before they had cloth.

Laimodea regretted the death of Kallistos as well as the death of all her comrades and yes it hurt a little more than the others because of the closeness they shared and the child she was now going to have.

But for Laimodea he was more a companion she respected than her beloved.

Will Seika also be one of Kido’s children? Are you going to show that Kido had daughters and what he did with them? Because I really don’t think that he ONLY had sons.

Yes Seika is also Kido's daughter, but because she is older it was considered that she should not be sent, besides, being older it would be much more dangerous if she opened her mouth and the sanctuary would have a much clearer picture of what was going on.

Young children are easier to manipulate.

I might throw in a couple more, maybe Miho, it would explain why she was in the same orphanage with some of Kido's children.

And there are others but... we already know what will happen with the saintia academy.

Imagine Luke and Leia ending up in the clone wars era but all of their force abilities are “what the actual fuck?” levels of bullshit, and neither of them ever realized that the things they could do with the force were considered extremely high level techniques.

that is one of my FAVORITE things to imagine yes. To me this is less about ‘Skywalker bullshit’ (though there is some of that) and more about the training they (didn’t) receive.

The high-Midi-chlorians-actual-descendents-of-the-force thing makes it easier to tap into the force, makes it more possible to do so without accidentally exhausting yourself. But, in universe, under the right circumstances and with the properly channeled belief anyone can do anything. That’s why Palpatine had to make the galaxy want an empire, why his first strategy was misdirection and his top priority was crushing hope. Chirrut was supposedly force-null and he walked through an army. Han navigated that astroid field because he had to. The force is everywhere. 

In an amusing but possibly unintended turn of events, 6-12 weeks of training in a swamp with an elderly frog who only talks in riddles without ever being exposed to Jedi culture except as a myth is actually IDEAL if you’re looking to maximize a Jedi’s raw strength. Most Jedi training that we see in the prequels is explicitly designed to put the breaks on a force-users raw power (for honestly very valid reasons). Channeling all violence through a single weapon that will start screaming if you get too violent, training to use it defensively, is definitely the soft-ball alternative to just squashing people like meatballs. 

Meditating, wearing beige, the code, shunning attachments, all that stuff is built around making sure force users never run above first or second gear even in stressful situations (again valid, when you run your jedi in the red sometimes they become murder monsters). The downside of this is that when they’re forced to maintain that placid pace for years at a time (i.e: prolonged war), they’re much more likely to burn out.

When Yoda told Luke do or do not, told him a luminous being was he, told him size matters not, the amazing thing isn’t that Luke believed him. That was karking objectively provable. Yoda lifted a spaceship, so now Luke knows he can too if he just thinks he can. So he does. Vader and Palpatine conquered a galaxy. Luke believes he can stop worlds, crush armies, conquer planets and so he can. 

The incredible thing about Luke is what he doesn’t do despite being tapped into the Force utterly free of mental restraint. Luke’s op character trait is his compassion, not his strength.

I assume at some point Luke puts Leia through a similar 2 month meditation class where he convinces her that her only limitations are the ones she imposes on herself. She has a complete meltdown when she realizes that she actually could have boiled Tarkin alive with her mind and saved Alderann. This causes a volcano to go off, devastating the ecology of a small moon. On the flight home, both of them slightly charred, she tells Luke that she wanted to focus on politics and didn’t really want to be a Jedi anyway. Luke nods quickly, supporting her decision, and resolves to seek out some Jedi texts about how to teach people they can do anything but also...maybe...not...anything.

And thus the Jedi order is reborn.

- - -

In the time travel version of this, it means that Luke is assuming that all of the Jedi are restraining themselves like he is. And they are, but they also aren’t, because their breaks are subconscious, built in since childhood, and have a lot of failsafes so even if they turn darkside they still restrain themselves pretty good (a la Dooku). 

Leia is, again, less interested with the Jedi-specific aspects of the war (especially now that she doesn’t have to feel guilty about being one of the only people who can pick up that mantle) and more interested in the diplomatic side. Again, Palpatine can only succeed if the galaxy at large accepts this, and from where she’s standing they’re fucking moving in that direction. If being a Jedi is tapping into the mystical energy field that binds all living things together to channel it through one specific person in one specific place, then politics is manipulating that same power for a diffuse impact on as many people as possible. 

This status-quo lasts until a major clone wars battle where Luke’s like ‘wait- the entire other side is sub-sentient droids? No living beings, and no droids with complex personality matrices? And they’re currently, actively killing living, sentient humans? Well kriff, come on! This is a no-brainer!’

Luke takes a deep breath. The air- it doesn’t disappear or anything- but it- it stops moving. It’s hard to explain...but breathing has an odd...resistance. The hair on the back of every clone’s neck stands up. Several get vaguely sea sick. One pukes a little. Plo Koon stumbles back, head ringing and afraid.

Luke Skywalker stands up and clenches his fists. 10,000 droids crumple like flimsi in the hands of a child. The battlefield is eerily quiet for a moment, then that imperceptible hum (which no one noticed until it stopped) fades and the air returns to its normal density. A few of the shinies start whooping, then the whole battalion is cheering.

Luke massages his temples, smiling wryly at Master Koon. “I guess I can see how that would get exhausting if you were doing it everyday.”

Plo Koon just stares.

Recently the riderquill micro nation was severely damaged, so I made a meme hoping it will lift their spirits in these difficult times.

Thoughts on Ionia?

Well before I checked Omega for things I could use I didn't like it, it was just another one of Omega's disappointing golden saints.

But now after seeing his story again, it's very interesting. Especially for a character that is then completely forgotten about, because yes the holy wars have been going on for over 2000 years and many people have died.

It is normal that at some point someone will look for a way to save that person they care about even if they have to betray them to do so.

[kyuremking]

From what generation is Ionia?

Ionia is from the generation of Marcus, 54 AD and also participated in the holy wars of Tiberius and Felix, 296 AD and 538 AD. After the death of Felix and seeing for the third time the death of Athena he went a little crazy and was locked up.

[kyuremking]

Why didn’t the Saints want Rodorio & Bellerophon to join them?

Because Rodorio is the grandson of Poseidon, because his mother is one of the Ocean Protectors and she killed saints during the war against poseidon, because of his obvious anger issues.

With Bellerephon because his uncle is an Ocean Protector, because the cloth of Sagittarius chose him just because it liked his vibes. Because he and Rodorio are not sold separately.

Oh and because they had no loyalty to Athena.

[kyuremking]

In your AU(s), are the Bronze saints going to be half-brothers like in the manga?

Absolutely, I plan to throw as much shit as I can at Mitsumasa.

pre-reveal shenanigans my beloved

Bless the screaming citadel and shattered empire for being the only comics to depict Luke as beautifully as he is

I want to know what was Boba's reaction when he found out that the guy who threw him into a sarlacc is now the Alderaan's Queen/Supreme Chancellor's sugar baby.
