Oh, boy, you'd love to learn the latest developments in Saint Seiya Rerise of Poseidon! Tsunakan-sensei really understands the Kurumada spirit. If you don't mind spoilers, link to a Tumblr post summarizing chapters 5 & 6 (with pics): https://www.tumblr.com/lazuliblur/731724076119375872/chapter-5?source=share
Now we just need Hyoga to do it to complete the set :V
Camus is a great influence :V

Saint Seiya AU where everything's the same but...
okay, so- I was browsing Wikipedia looking for material to make more historically accurate shitposts.
As I do...
Pisces Aphrodite's symbol, much like the goddess he's named after, is the rose. A red rose specifically.
However, did you know that another symbol of the goddess Aphrodite is lettuce?
fucking
✨L E T T U C E 🌈🥬
it's okay if you don't know where this is going
so-
Saint Seiya AU where everything's the same but instead of Aphrodite's powers being based around and channeled through roses, his powers are based around and channeled through
LITERAL LEAVES AND HEADS OF LETTUCE
------------------------------
Fuck a rose, mans is walking around with a whole leaf of lettuce just
hangin. out. his. MOUF
You can't tell if he's late to anime school or late to the salad bar.
HE'S NOT EVEN CHEWIN IT, IT'S JUST THERE-
Imagine him standing there looking all cool and beautiful yet intimidating (as he does), but instead of holding a rose, it's a whole head of Romaine.
Walkin around the sanctuary with iceberg lettuce leaves tucked behind his ear instead of something normal like an anemone or narcissus (flowers, other symbols of Aphrodite).
Just out here looking botanically confused.
------------------------------
Shun and Seiya get to the Pisces Temple and it's just a farm...
🥬🥬 A LETTUCE farm 🥬🥬
Pisces Farmodite AU???
And he has all different kinds planted.
There's butterhead, frisee, arugula, mesclun, little gem-
You Name It
Seiya runs ahead as usual.
Instead of it being a long stretch of rose-covered stairs up to the Pope, the whole way up is covered in liek, idk... Endive???
For those of you who may not have looked into the food facts of lettuce (you not missin out on anything), lettuce is basically nutritionally-bankrupt, crunchy water.
Specifically, raw lettuce is like 95% water.
Instead of Seiya being slowly poisoned to death, he's having his Flintstone gummies siphoned out of his body until he dies of malnutrition.
Shun gets hit in the chest with BLOODY RADICCHIO
Instead of a white rose sapping out his blood, Shun gets hit in the chest with a white, translucent leaf of lettuce.
Once the leaf has completely sapped out his blood, it looks like this:
------------------------------
Imagine Aphrodite being the Bubba Gump of his universe.
Instead of him obsessing over all the ways you can cook shrimp, it's over all the different kinds of lettuce and how best to prepare them.
------------------------------
Away from the whole lettuce thing...
There are many animals associated with the goddess Aphrodite. Among them are hares, bees, fish, and geese.
I can't decide which idea I like more:
Pisces Beephrodite/Bee Keeper Aphrodite AU - Aphrodite with his usual roses and flowers but he also keeps bees as pollinators and as his lil striped buzzy frens.
Pisces Bunphrodite AU - Where everything's the same but he just has a pet rabbit. It can also be combined with the Pisces Endive-phrodite (Lettuce Aphrodite) AU where the bunny/bunnies live on the lettuce farm and it's their favorite snack.
Pisces Aphrodite but with a Ranchu Goldfish AU - Where he has a ranchu goldfish that just kind of floats there... It's the center of his universe and if you even look at his fish wrong, YOU'RE DEAD.
Untitled Goose Game - In which Aphrodite has the most ornery pet goose on the face of the planet. It only likes him. And much like the Ranchu AU, this goose is the center of his whole world. Aphrodite doesn't care if his goose just stole your identity and ruined your credit score. Keep his goose's name...
OUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH
goose is probably named Rutherford or smth

Shitpost dump and a gif of Yuri's S1 shower scene and a pic of his canonical ass crack. 😭🤣
Siestatic was the name I coined for Yuri if he stanned Hypnos (the Greek god of sleep and Thanatos' twin brother), instead of Thanatos 😂 Instead of firing flaming arrows at you, he launches his pillow at you like Sleepy Boi (Meitenkun) from KOF.
And his alt colourways from Katsura's artbook including the Proto Luna grim reaper design fueled a discussion on potential Bootleg (Pretender) Lunatics.
Bootleg Shaka is from the 90s American Saint Seiya adaptation: Guardians of the Cosmos. It was scrapped.
