Currently rewatching Saint Seiya (the OG series) with a friend and I have to say, this series is NOT how I remember it. And I don't mean rose tinted nostalgia goggles or anything like that; I mean I'm deadass surprised to see how down for murder the main bronze boys are (excluding Shun) Like even before Sanctuary arc and before they knew Saori was Athena, these guys were just....really cool with murder

Here's another roundup of questions! I'm sorry if you don't see your question answered here. I tried answering as many as I could handle. Thank you all for reaching out :)
PERSONAL ASKS
Anon asked: I don’t know if this is too personal or not, but if you feel comfortable sharing, what prompted you to make a return after not posting at all for about 3 years?
A: That's okay, I don't mind you asking. To be honest, I just suffered from art block for a very long time. I couldn't get myself to draw no matter how hard I tried. I would sit myself down and try to force myself to do it, but I just couldn't. I don't know why it went away and I don't know why it came back, but suddenly my spark came back with a vengeance! I'm back to wanting to draw all the time! I think that's both the wonderful and awful thing about creativity: you can't force it. It sucks, but hopefully I can serve as proof to others who are going through it that you can spring back from it.
Anon asked: Hi E-vay! I couldn't help but notice a few Coraline references in some of your art work, are you a fan of the film too? By the way, Sonamy 4 eva!!
A: Yes I LOVE Coraline! I never read the book but I love the movie. It fills my spooky little heart and soul!
sonicalover1345 asked: Hey, quick question have you watched Hazbin Hotel Prime video? If you have what is or are your favorite characters?
A: I haven't yet! Honestly when the pilot first came out years ago, I didn't care for it. (I love Helluva Boss, did not care for Hazbin Hotel). But I've heard a million people recommending the series and I've heard the songs because of Tiktok and a lot of the songs sound great, so I have been meaning to check it out.
Anon asked: What is your favourite Tim burton movie? 🖤
A: I want to say Nightmare Before Christmas, but to be completely honest it's probably Mars Attacks! It's so campy and funny and it has that retro horror sci-fi film feel to it, and the cast rocks. It checks all the boxes for me. I even have a Mars Attacks! print hung up at my office at work:
Tumblr media
wind-upbaby14 asked: Just curious but what happened to that hell hath series you made and why did you stop?
A: I went through a severe art block and hadn't drawn anything for a long time, even though I had the whole script for it written out. However since getting my mojo back, I've completely re-written the story and am working on it again. You'll see more of HHNF soon and I'm certain you'll like it better than it was meant to be originally!
Anon asked: I’m unsure if you’ve been asked this before, feel free to ignore if so but would you ever consider opening a Patreon? Y’know for earlier access and possibly spicy art🤔?
A: I did have a Patreon once upon a time, but it gave me severe imposter syndrome lol It put too much pressure on me to put out content that I thought was worthy enough for people to be paying for, so I ultimately closed it down. It doesn't mean I won't ever open it up again, but I don't have any immediate plans to do that. Also regarding the spice haha 😅 I appreciate your interest, but I just don't like to share that kind of content.
milangakokoros asked: I know you like sailor moon, I remember that you published a drawing that you did in 2007 somewhere, of Aurora sailor moon version. What other animes do you like? have you seen saint seiya? (it's my current hyperfixation)
A: I don't watch much anime anymore, but I used to be obsessed with Naruto. That's primarily what I would draw back in my dA days, but I lost interest in it a long time ago. I also loved Fruits Basket, Kill La Kill, One Punch Man and Attack on Titan. There are other shows I've watched, but those were the major series. I haven't seen the series you mentioned, sorry!
milangakokoros asked: Have you thought about making more games like the one you made on Halloween?
A: Absolutely! I don't know what the next game will be, but I definitely want to make more!
prophecyhyper asked: Do you post any of your drawings on any other sites?
A: I sometimes post my art on my Instagram and I sometimes post timelapses of my drawings on Tiktok, but I mostly post here on Tumblr!
aviles2003 asked: I've been meaning to ask you this about adaptations, what is your only favorite Video Game Movie you wanna see, already watched, and excited to see? (Sonic the Hedgehog Movies, The Super Mario Bros Movie, Detective Pikachu, Or Five Nights at Freddy's?)
A: So far my favorite game-movie adaptation is the Super Mario Bros movie! I love it so much! I love that they kept the style of the game but made it a little more polished than what you'd get in the games. I loved the characters, I loved all the references within it, I loved the music. I just think it's a perfect adaptation. Of course I'm super excited for Sonic 3! I'm sure it's going to be great, I'm just praying that Amy will be in it! I need her in it :( I'd love to see a movie adaptation of Dead Space. That's one of my favorite games and ooh I think it'd make such a good horror film. I know they made animated movies for it, but I want it done in a proper hollywood horror way!
edwinflores428 asked: E-vay, since you're also a Beatles enjoyer, did you hear the new Beatles song 'Now and Then'?
A: I didn't know about this until you mentioned this in my inbox. Wow that was emotional! I can't believe they were able to make a song out of an old unreleased recording and really get to finally get closure for their band in a way. Just incredible!
Anon asked: hey, i logged in after a long time and i was just happy to see you’re still posting. i’ve been following since the deviantart days and i just wanted to say how much i enjoy your art. it has always brought me a lot of joy :)
A: This isn't an ask, but I wanted to include it just so I could tell those of you who send these kinds of messages to my inbox: Thank you ❤️ I don't know if you all realize how much it means to me to have your support. Whether you're new to my work or whether you've followed me since my deviantART days, it absolutely makes my day when I receive these kind of wonderful, positive messages. My only wish is that you didn't feel you needed to write me anonymously so I could thank you personally! But I'll respect your privacy ❤️ From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

MISC SONIC ASKS
Anon asked: I was wondering what your favourite brotherly head cannon would be between Sonic and Tails? :3
A: Even though Sonic's older and technically raised Tails, I love the idea of them sort of "raising each other." Sonic teaches Tails how to defend himself, how to navigate the world, how to do the right thing, but Tails is the one who teaches Sonic how to read and write, introduces him to philosophical discussions that Sonic finds really boring but actually helps him to be a better hero and be a better version of himself. I even like the idea of Tails being the one to teach Sonic how to play music. Sonic has a natural talent for it, but Tails is the one to teach him notes and chords, how to actually read sheet music, things like that.
umbrathehedgehog asked: Hey, I noticed that one piece about Sonic Prime. It's very nice! What did you like or not like about the show? Been seeing a lot of differing opinions on it and I'm really curious about what you thought!
A: Thanks so much! As a whole I'd say it was okay. It certainly wasn't the best Sonic media out there in my opinion but no way was it the worst. I understand it's a kid's show, but it was way too formulaic for me. It got to the point where I could pretty much bet "in 2 minutes Character A is going to seem like all is lost, then a loud explosion/sudden shake will happen, and they'll look up like 'whuAHHH???' and Character B will show up to help." That's fine, but not when it's happening multiple times every single episode. So to be honest, it wasn't a show that I looked forward to watching like I did with Sonic Boom. It was just something I had on because it was Sonic-related. But Sonic Prime had a lot of good character writing and the acting was great. They explored character relationships/dynamics and emotions that some other Sonic content hasn't done before, so I applaud them for that. It's mirroring what happened in Sonic Frontiers and I love that the franchise is willing to dig a little deeper on an emotional level like that. And I've said it before but I'll say it a million times more: Shadow was PERFECT! The positive of having Shadow portrayed so excellently far outweighed any negatives I could say for the show!
chrismantike asked: What’re your thoughts on longclaw (the owl from the sonic movie) does she exist in your AU as Sonic’s mom?
A: Well we didn't get to see very much of her, but I loved her design! She was very majestic and beautiful and kind. None of the characters or storyline from the live action movies are part of my AU.

MY OCs/AU ASKS
Anon asked: So when’s did aurora learn that she could turn invisible? And did she use it to pull a prank on her parents making them think she disappeared
A: Aurora discovers her light abilities when she's young (think about preteen age), but she doesn't fully know what all she can do yet. It takes a lot of experimenting and studying with Uncle Tails to figure out everything she can do. He is the one who tells her that if she can bend light, she should be able to use it to cloak herself. Tails and Sonic obviously mean she should use it as a defensive move, but Aurora instantly thinks it's the perfect power for pranks! Picture a lot of objects "floating" around the house with a lot of phony "OooooOOoooOOOO" ghost noises haha
Anon asked: Is aurora a comic book fan? If so what’s her favorite series
A: Aurora can enjoy super hero related stuff, but she's not an avid fan of it and I would say she does not read comics. Aurora is more into fantasy/romance books. Ruff is the one who is into comic books :) His favorite would be Batman.
Anon asked: I love your idea of Aurora and Sage being close friends, I really think that fits! That being said, do you think Sage and CC would get along?
and gale-gentlepenguin asked: I’m curious on how Sage would interact with Aurora and CC? I know it would probably be seperate universes but it would be fun to see how Eggman’s daughter reacts to Sonics daughter and a sentient AI of equal intellect
A: Thank you! I've been thinking about it and I like the idea of Sage and CC being rivals, but in a very cheeky, friendly way. Sort of like Sonic and Knuckles. Sage and CC would make everything into a competition to see who can solve this problem fastest or who can simulate something best, to determine who is truly the more intelligent of the two AIs. But again, not in a toxic way. In a "I have to be the best version of myself in order to beat you because the respect I have for you is insanely high" kind of way. And Sage could playfully tease CC for wanting to become organic because it'd be a "step backwards" in her evolution, but really she'd work to find a way to help make CC's dream come true.
antooogamer asked: Hello, I already know why Diamond is white and Boon's color is for Aurora, but now I have a question about Cinder, why is he Orange? :^
A: Orange is in the same color family as red and pink, so I think it still works. As far as color theory, in my AU Aurora has a grandma who is yellow and Shadow's fur includes red, so by blending those colors you can get orange. It's the same reason why Nova is purple, it's a blend of colors from their lineage. I tried Cinder out in several different colors but orange is ultimately what fit him best.
animefan299110 asked: After seeing your artwork of Sage and Aurora interacting, I got to ask: Do they hang out a lot or is Sage like a cousin/big sister who visits all the time?
A: They're more like best friends than sisters/cousins. I know people draw Sage growing older and stuff but I personally headcanon that she'd stay in the form of a child because she feels no need to grow up. But once she's friends with Aurora, then I could see her "aging" up alongside Aurora so that she always matches her friend. It's just a headcanon of mine for now and that could ultimately change in the future.
Anon asked: Has Aurora ever been to space before if so what were her thoughts. Was she like markiplier with the whole space is so cool song.
A: Aurora DESPERATELY wants to go to space more than anything! But for most of her life she hardly ever left her home. It isn't until she's grown up that she actually starts to properly explore the world. Eventually I want her to go to space, but it would be once she's living on her own.
skywriter97 asked: So I saw this one fanart comic (that I can't remember the name of) forever ago and in it Shadow had his emblem tattooed on his arm and it made me wonder (since you the best Sonic fan artist hands down no contest) does Sonamy/Shadora (or any of your characters kn your Au) have any tats or piercings anywhere? If so, what and where? (If the fur doesn't get in the way for them lol) (Votes go to Shadow being a tatted and pierced edgelord cuz that would be so 🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌😍🤩😍🤩🤩😍🥵🥵🤤🤤🤌🤌🤌)
A: You are just so sweet, thank you! You know I'm very pro tats and I love seeing what people think the different Sonic characters would get. For my AU, I only have two (technically three) characters depicted with tattoos. Amy's dad Clay Rose has two tattoos on his bicep: A heart with his wife's name in it, and then a matching little heart with Amy's name in it. Adult Knuckles has a simple "M.E." tattooed on his bicep. It's a reference to Knuckles' theme and also his dedication to the Master Emerald. Lastly, I have the human version of Cinder (but only the human version) with forearm sleeves that continue down his hands. So far those are the only characters I have with tattoos. As far as piercings, most of my characters have ear piercings but they don't often wear earrings. Blitz and Lulu are the only characters who always wears earrings. I could see Shadow getting at least an ear pierced, but I headcanon that with his rapid healing that it would almost instantly close if he didn't actively wear a piercing at the time.
Anon asked: I totally hope that Piper will have a girlfriend! Do you see her more with a girl or a boy?
A: I currently see PIper as demiromantic. She is currently not interested in anyone romantically or physically, and I don't want to diminish that part of her identity by saying 'Oh but she'll eventually end up with __." Of course, a headcanon is whatever you want so if you personally ship her with a woman that's cool with me!
Anon asked: Hey evay, i was looking at this old info of Amy, and It says that she wans't always at home, did Aurora had any issue with that? Did some part of her childhood she could say that she had mother issues? (Sorry if you can't understand, my english it's terrible 💀)
A: Your English is excellent! I wouldn't go so far as to say Aurora had mother issues. Amy wasn't completely absent from Aurora's youth, she was just working a lot so she wasn't constantly at home the way Sonic was. It would have made things a little awkward/emotional at times because that naturally made Aurora favor Sonic a little more when she was younger, but that also made the times she did have with Amy all the more special. Aurora never thought to herself "My mom has abandoned me because she's never home," it was more of a "Work is stupid and being grown up is stupid because it means Mom can't stay home and play with me all day." Aurora and Amy grow a lot closer as Aurora gets older and better understands the meaning of responsibilities and commitment.
Anon asked: Hi hi! I'm kinda new in the Sonic fandom and I've seen lots of your comics and content so far (That are great!) The shadora refs of their kids are just so *chef kiss*, when I looked at it, I told myself: "Damn, I wanna make ref sheets this great for my characters too!" I love the fact that you called them an horde! xD And the angst with Shadow's immortality must be amazing! Uh I'm getting out of the subject ^^'' I wanted to ask you if you planned or did anything with Silver? I don't think I saw anything from you with him And another question, if no one asked this before, are any of Shadora's kiddos immortal too? Or maybe they're "half immortal"? Like, they live longer than everyone else but still has a shorter lifespan than their dad I love your work! Keep going! ^^ And have a wonderful day :D
A: Wow, that's so kind of you to say! Thank you so much! I hope you do make ref sheets for your characters :) I haven't planned anything with Silver for my AU yet. To be honest, I don't know his character very well and I try my best to always keep the original characters in-character, so that's why I haven't done anything with him yet. But I recently purchased the volumes of IDW comics and I'm hoping to understand him better and then I will be more confident writing him! Secondly, none of the Shadora horde are immortal. They have stronger immune systems so they can heal faster and are less likely to get sick than the average Mobian, but they are still mortal and still age at a normal rate. Thank you for the questions and compliments!
Anon asked: I love the Shadora babies sm !! My question is..What excactly happend in the fight between Diamond and Cinder? Love your art btw<3
A: Thank you so much! I need to make a comic about it. When they were young they were all exploring the different zones and Cinder was really struggling with some of the obstacles so he was already getting quite aggravated. Diamond noticed this and offered to help because some problems are better solved as a team, and Cinder immediately gets pissed and tells her to buzz off. She gets upset that he snaps at her, and there's some escalation between the two and finally Cinder blows up at her (literally). He immediately regrets it as he did not mean to hurt her, but the damage is already done.
degux asked: What would happen if Metal Sonic ( somehow :v ) met CC ?
A: Hmm. Well, even though Metal Sonic is based on Sonic, I love stories that involve him having an identity crisis and ultimately deciding that he's not just going to be a clone. He's his own entity, right? They're alike, but they're not the same. I don't know where he'd be on that self journey by the time he meets CC, but she'd definitely see him as his own person, not as a Sonic copy. But likely he'd still be an antagonist, so they'd end up having to battle lol
milangakokoros asked: does team chaotix exist in the Aurora universe? and have they interacted with the Rose family?
A: They definitely exist in my AU, but I haven't completely decided what their roles are yet. I can see Vector becoming Cream's stepdad (I'm not passionate about the VanillaXVector ship but I know it's practically canon), and then that leads me down a rabbit hole (pun intended) of how does that affect the dynamics of Team Chaotix? I have some rough ideas but I need to spend more time on it.
Anon asked: Have you thought about introducing Vector or Team chaotix in your sonamy and Aurora comics? :0 I picture him being "Uncle Stanley Pines" from Aurora and the Hyena Boys.
A: I had to add this question immediately after because your idea of Grunkle Stan made me laugh out loud! Oh my gosh I love that!
Anon asked: hola, tengo una pregunta. Hace mucho que no veia tu contenido y veo que estas de vuelta me alegro! :) Mi pregunta es aurora no tenia un hermano? Si no mal recuerdo creo que tenia uno y de ser asi el caso, el también tendria sus propias aventuras? Lo poco que recuerdo de el es que estaba en un dibujo tuyo de navidad con toda la familia sonamy junta y otro donde aurora lo abraza. Me gustaría saber que fue de el
A: ¡Gracias! The character you're referring to was an OC made by my friend Nana, a Sonamy fankid named Spazz. I sometimes drew him interacting with Aurora because my friend Nana and I just liked to draw our characters interacting, but Spazz is not a part of my AU. Nana is no longer on tumblr so that's why there aren't any Spazz art/comics anymore.
Anon asked: Does Sonic’s Uncle Chuck exist in your AU?
A: No I don't include the Archie comics or characters at all
⚠‼️THIS QUESTION MIGHT BE TRIGGERING. SKIP IF YOU NEED TO. TW: INFERTILITY ‼️⚠ Anon asked: Hi e-vay! I’ve recently re-read your ‘Boom Baby’ comic & was wonderin’ - especially with all their attempts - did Sonic or Amy, either one, stuggle with infertility? If so, did they ever have any doubts of that “I’m pregnant” moment ever happening?
A: Infertility is a very real issue that many people (including those very close in my life) deal with. Although I do think it's very important for people to be able to see their experiences reflected in the media they consume to help them remember that they aren't alone in their experience, this is not something I wanted Sonic and Amy to have to deal with for Boom!Baby. The chapter where Sonic references making multiple attempts during a certain window of time was not meant to imply that they were struggling with infertility. It was instead supposed to show that now that they've both decided they want a child, Amy doesn't want to take any chances to make sure it happens lol. TMI - Even without fertility issues, getting pregnant is not always guaranteed so it can take a lot of planning and timing (and frankly, luck) to be successful. Super TMI - I headcanon that Sonic and Amy are already intimate A LOT so now that they're trying for a baby it's above and beyond and that's why Sonic is tired in that chapter lol
fireghost234 asked: Hi this is my first time asking you!!!, does sonic in your AU still have his swordfighting skills from black knight?
A: Thank you for the question! Personally I don't think he'd retain those skills after that experience, so no that's not a trait he has in my AU anyway.
madysonisbae19 asked: Okay so I’m listing to the Encanto soundtrack and when Surface Pressure came on tell me why I instantly thought of Diamond singing this song when she is down about being physically the strongest out of her family.
A: That song (and character) is so her! Thank you for pointing that out to me, I'm going to associate that with her now 🥰
Anon asked: Did Aurora actually got bullied in school?
A: In my stories Mobians don't really go to "school," but yes she was bullied by a group of other kids when she was little. I have a script for a comic for this, I just haven't drawn it yet.
Anon asked: I think I'm pretty sure you based post-Boom to make your comics, but do you think Prime to becanon to your comic continuity too?
A: My AU is a fluid situation haha It adapts as more Sonic content comes out and I get to pick what I want to include. That's what makes AUs fun! Hmmm, ultimately I'm going to say no, I don't think Prime is canon to my stories.
Anon asked: Hi e-vay! Just wanted to ask, will we ever see what happened with Sonic and Amy's wedding in your AU? We've seen Amy's pregnancy with Aurora and their first date, so it seems like another natural relationship landmark to make a shenanigans-filled story out of! Also, keeping on the Sonamy wedding topic, what's their guestlist look like? Are there any surprises in who's getting an invite and who isn't?
A: I definitely have a sonamy wedding comic in the works :) It's going to be multi-chaptered. I would love to answer your other questions but I don't want to spoil the surprise! 😜
SHIPPING ASKS
Anon asked: Not to sound weird or anything, but does Sonic have a go to move that seduces Amy? 💙🩷
A: He simply ✨exists✨
Anon asked: Does Sonic ever dream about Amy?
A: I mean, I think so 😉
Tumblr media
Anon asked: Hi e-vay! I had a question for you that I've been wanting to know about. If you read Harry Potter or watch the movies, don't you think that Harry and Ginny's relationship is similar to Sonic and Amy? I know this is kind of random, but it's like Harry is the hero, and Ginny was always in love with him, but their relationship slowly developed throughout the books, especially the 6th book. And that's how Sonic and Amy have been throughout the years
A: Hello! I have seen the movies and I read some of the books, but I don't know the series all that well. Actually, I don't remember Ginny being in the movies much at all, so I was a little confused when she and Harry ended up together. Maybe there was more to it in the books that I just never read. So if I'm going solely based on the movies I've seen, I can't say that I see the correlation. But that's not to say you're wrong in thinking that :)
aurorathehedge6 asked: What's your favorite Sonamy art that you made?
A: Definitely My Gal, specifically the last couple of chapters. I put my whole heart into that story and I'm pretty proud of it.
essycogany asked: Hi! First, I want to say that I LOVE your work! You’re so talented and I couldn’t appreciate your stuff enough. How are you feeling about the new Sonamy material from this and last year? Things are really starting to become more obvious as the years go on. Hope you’re doing well. 💖
A: Thank you so much! I hope you're doing well too :) UGH!!! 😩💙💖💙💖💙💖 We have been fed SO WELL lately! I can't believe it, what a time to be alive! I'm still sure they won't ever make it canon, but I love the sweet little snippets we get and just how much Sonic and Amy's relationship has evolved over the years to be so much closer. And I giggle like a little maniac every time they're on screen together or they're side by side in marketing. It makes my heart SING!
Anon asked: Are you still a fan of of the OT3 hedgies (Sonamyshad) and are still a fan of shadamy? Will we see any dribbles about them. Your art is so pretty 😍🤩 I just wanna see more 🤣😅 sorry if that embarrassing!
A: That's not embarrassing, that's crazy kind of you to say! Thank you! Yes I do still adore those ships and need to draw them more. It just seems every time I go to draw something my hand gets possessed by the ✨spirit of sonamy✨😂 I promise I'll draw the others at some point!
Anon asked: Are there any ships that you just… don’t get? Not dislike or hate or anything, just one that you fully don’t understand the appeal for…? Cause Metal Sonic and Amy is a ship that kinda baffles me. Like most Amy ships have some appeal. Sonic is obvious, you’re Ms. Sonamy after all. But Shads, Silver, Blaze, and even Surge have fun dynamics, and Metal doesn’t really strike me as a character that is able to be shipped effectively… Thoughts?
A: There definitely are ships that I don't understand. But if I don't understand or don't like a ship (or fan theories, or whatever), I'd rather just not talk about them. I used to indulge in that style of arguing discussion when I was a kid but I don't do that kind of stuff anymore. If I don't get something I just say "That's not for me" and move along. I do support the MetAmy ship myself but it's not at the top of my ship list (lol). I like it because Metal Sonic is based on Sonic, and if they're meant to be similar and I believe that Sonic does care about Amy, then that logic would tell me that Metal cares about Amy, too. And even though Metal is a villain, Amy does care about his well being (just like she cares about everyone's well being). Metal Sonic is also one of the main reasons Amy and Sonic met in the first place, so I think she holds a special place in her heart for him, even if it's not 100% romantic. That's my reasoning, but I don't want or expect you to change your opinion.
Anon asked: Will tails and CC ever get married?
A: Whoa now, I've never even drawn them on an official date yet ;)
Anon asked: What tv shows would sonic and amy watch together?
A: I think a lot of feel-good comedies like Brooklyn 99, Bob's Burgers, Modern Family and Schitt's Creek.
*The next question is a Shadora Ask. Skip if you don’t like Shadora*
Anon asked: What would Shadow and Aurora’s fave show be?
A: They don't have similar tastes in shows, but I could see them both enjoying Only Murders in the Building and cut throat competition cooking shows like Hell's Kitchen.
*The next question is a Shadora Ask. Skip if you don’t like Shadora
gray3754 asked: How old would Amy and Sonic be when Aurora started to date shadow
A: I don't really do exact ages, but Sonic and Amy have Aurora roughly when they're in their mid-to-late 20s. So they would be in their mid-to-late 40s when Aurora and Shadow first meet.
*The next question is a Shadora Ask. Skip if you don’t like Shadora
aurorathehedge6 asked: What's your favorite Shadora art that you made? Also have Sonic, Amy, Aurora, and Shadow ever been on a double date?
A: Hmm, I think my fav Shadora art is the comic where Shadow and Aurora discuss her "wings" (back quills). It started out as just a fluffy piece but I think it really set the tone for their relationship in my stories. As far as a double date -- I could see them trying a double date early on when Shadow first states his intention to date Aurora, but it doesn't go well. Years later when Sonic is more accepting of their relationship I could see them occasionally going out for lunch/dinner together instead of just their weekly family dinners at home.
*The next question is a Shadora Ask. Skip if you don’t like Shadora
ticciticcicendy asked: I don't know if you do this question but has any of Aurora and shadows kids ever walked in on them?
A: Hahaha, Shadow is too savvy for that! He had the Shadora house built to essentially be a fortress, which also means the primary bedroom is practically a vault. Ain't nobody getting in there unexpectedly hahaha
*The next question is a Shadora Ask. Skip if you don’t like Shadora
lazypatrolpizzapersona asked: One question, is Aurora jealous when Shadow is with these girls?
A: I'm not sure what girls you are referring to? But Aurora is not a very jealous type.
*The next question is a Shadora Ask. Skip if you don’t like Shadora
zero-aurion asked: Quick question, in terms of lap pillows, for Tails and CC and Shadow and Aurora, who rests their head on the others lap more?
A: CC doesn't need to rest, but Tails is so soft that she just loves to lay against him so she'd definitely use him for a lap pillow more. BONUS POINTS for using his tails as a shawl around her shoulders! Shadow is more likely to rest his head in Aurora's lap. The way she strokes his quills is very soothing and makes him feel content. She also has thick thighs so very, very comfy for lap pillows!
--
Thank you all for the questions!

Sae actually has a canon song that he likes. It’s Suisei (feat. Kariya Seiya) by tofubeats which he listens to when he cools down. I think it’s a really cute song :) (From the egoist bible translations via @/705point8 on twitter)
🫶 thank you anon. i gave this a listen, and honestly it makes so much sense. the beginning part sounded akin to lo-fi, and i was like...yeah, sae would definitely listen to something chill like this. but then i heard the vocals, and it was surprisingly groovy. also i think sae just canonically has a soft spot for things that remind him of home. he watches chibi maruko-chan. he gets shio kombu sent from his parents' home because spain doesn't have it. he listens to cute songs that probably remind him of his childhood. (lol he's adorable he just doesn't know it yet.)
also i searched up the lyrics...and i have to say the itoshi brothers must be fundamentally tied with star/planet motifs in every universe or something. suisei (水星) is kanji for mercury. (on a side note, i find this funny because the literal translation for the characters is water star which doesn't sound like mercury at all but whatever.)
ok returning back to the lyrics, i found a select few that match his character well:
"do you know? you're gonna die unless you dance"
i feel like this basically summarize sae's mindset down to two lines. it's always a false dilemma for him. either he does something and becomes the best at it or he doesn't do it at all. sort of like kill or be killed. unfortunately, i think this extreme mindset is also why he tends to struggle with maintaining personal relationships.
"now i'm in truce with that guy who's my rival"
this line made me laugh because both sae and rin are always so brooding when it comes to declaring random people as their rival. like....relax please. it's not that serious. but on the other hand, it might also refer to their tendency to compare themselves (either to their past selves or to other people.)
"flew from i-pod, i-phone / a bundle of data, when we always hold them"
data and numbers are basically sae's thing in the manga, but i think this lyric also refers to the passage of time. i headcanon sae as one of those people who acts like he's an old grandpa when in reality he's still in his 20's or something. he just views the past, present, and future differently from others his age.
"i spent much (time/money) to be youth"
yeah....sae would probably think this. time is money in his hands, and he's running out of it. i think this could go both ways. either he spent too much in order to become the best. or he feels like he didn't spend enough time/appreciation towards his youth before it was taken away from him.
"along the glittering stars, / if two of us ended up dancing / i'm taking you to the more glittering place"
the star motifs are glaringly obvious lol. but he would do something like that. if both of you are in this together anyway, he's going to put his all into it.

Started another show
Tumblr media
You might have heard of it.
Episode 1 thoughts, unsorted:
-I actually watched just this first episode before years ago, but didn't get any further. I think fundamentally the difference between me now and me then is back then I thought the OP and ED were kinda slow and boring and now I've seen enough Space Sheriff to be like hell yeah, man, hell yeah, man
-hey why does Char immediately do a T&A pose (pictured). Anyway I have jokingly described half my favourite characters as char-a-likes all these years so really this is just fulfilling my destiny
-I forgot Amuro is voiced by Tooru Furuya, but as a big Saint Seiya fan I could hardly avoid realising it the second he started talking. Now I get a second big series lead by him? (You might also know him as Yamcha)
-The contrast between the OP being like Go! Go, Gundam! Fight for the Future, Gundam! Discover your Destiny, Gundam! and then the first few minutes are like so the war killed half the population and now we're employing child guerilla fighters. Like I know that's the show's reputation. War Is Bad dot jpeg etc. but man.
-Amuro's dad was the deadest anyone has ever been from the moment he stepped on screen but I would not have guessed the specific way that played out! That's rough, buddy
-I really like all the tactile little details like the zero-G space handrails
-Oh yeah this is the show where everyone hits each other, huh
-I was curious if "Principality" meant Zeon actually has, like, a Prince or something somewhere, then figured it's just a translation and means that in the more general sense, but their uniforms do seem to be deliberately harkening back to old-fashioned nobility
-As one of the three people under 50 who have played Steve Jackson Games' OGRE the way they treat mecha in this is very reminiscent of how that setting (released just two years before this actually) treats its cyber-megatanks
-Had a mental 180 where at first I went "oh wait, it's Kidou Senshi Gundam, I guess Mobile Suit is just an approximation since the literal translation would be like Mobile Soldier", but then in the actual dialogue they just say Mobile Suit in English, so never mind.
...wait, does this terminology all originate from the term "Mobile Infantry" for the power-suits in Starship Troopers?

Another Get To Know Me Game!
Tagged by @windsweptinred, this was so much fun to do! Love seeing a new version
Who was your first fictional crush?:
Hmmmm, instinct says Tuxedo Mask! I'm sure I had other fictional crushes but that's the one I most vividly remember. That and Xanatos from Gargoyles djdoaisjdoaij.
What’s the first colour you think of when I tell you to think of a colour?:
Purple!
Which fanfiction emotionally scarred you and still makes you shudder to this day?:
Oh there's...a few lmao. I have a tendency to read fics that horrify me for fun, and since we're on the webbed site that likes to judge people for using the Dead Dove tag, or any of the main Archive Warning tags, I'd rather not put those fics on blast. But I have read some truly brilliantly written and fucked up fics from the Fantastic Beasts fandom, that's all I'll say.
I’m coming to your house for dinner, non-negotiable, what are you making me?:
Japanese curry with chicken! That or Fettucine Alfredo. I like to overstuff my guests with food and those are my two go to meals for company!
Do you prefer lions or kangaroos?:
Lions! I love kangaroos too, but my love for cats, especially big cats, prevails.
Which fictional villain do you brush past the glaringly obvious issues for because you really like them?:
Uhhhh....almost all of them??? jkjkjk
In all seriousness though, I think my big ones I can think of are Shigaraki and Dabi from BNHA. Are they both awful, ruthless people who only want to cause pain and suffering to all who have hurt them? Yes. Do I want them to keep causing even more pain and suffering, even to my favorite hero characters, as a treat? Also yes.
I hate to caveat that in no way do I think any of of their actions are justified and that the villains should win and then the world would be a better place yada yada yada but well. Woobifying villains is a thing and also why I stay out of the fandom because I cannot stand my faves being defanged like that. Let my faves be horrible people aoijdosijad.
What would accompany your picture in the Burn Book in Mean Girls?:
Either the "Mexican Asian" (I'm Filipino-American, and sadly this is a thing I was called a lot lmao) or "The Hugger." I know a shit ton of people judged me a bit in school for being a hugger because...idk, people thought hugs were weird lmao. But joke's on them, I still enjoy hugs and Mr. Seiya hugs me all the time!
How many days would you last in the universe of your favourite fandom?:
Uhhhhhh considering no one really dies in Pokemon...I'd be fine lmao.
In Sandman???? Also would probably be fine since I'm based in the States and also many many miles away from the Corinthian's hunting grounds 🤣
Have you heard of Mischief Theatre?:
Only the name :(
Do you feel sorry for Medusa?:
Yes and no. I do feel bad the foundation of her story was be a woman killed for the glory of a man. And then to be remembered only as a horror, a monster to scare people with.
The modern interpretation of her story is absolutely fascinating to me and while it is still a tragic story, I absolutely love what she's come to represent. I love that her story has been rewritten to be a story of survival, of perseverance, of power even.
Which song makes you think of your OTP?:
Ooooooh there's so many! And of course now that I'm being put on the spot I can't think of any 🤣🤣
Starlight by Muse is definitely a Dreamling song to me, so much so that I wrote a fic with the lyrics in the title, so I'm going to roll with that one!
Which song makes you disassociate and daydream the fastest?:
Oh lord, honestly any Taylor Swift song will do this to me lmao. Lately, I've been drifting back to Would've, Could've, Should've, so we're going to go with that one!
No pressure tagging: @tj-dragonblade @bazzybelle @verminetroglodyte @tryan-a-bex @4typercent and anyone else who wants to play!

*This fancanon contains the entire story of SCP, but within my universe, hence "fan canon" because it is a story created by a fan, in this case me.
*In my fan scp fancanon, this fancanon takes place in mid-2013 after agent Katya from the hand of the serpent invades the foundation in search of Berenice's jewelry, so the foundation to save money decides to gather all the keter and euclideos in one place, in case there is a lack of restraint, the Euclideans and Keter themselves lead with this.
In this universe, the story is focused on SCP 076, SCP 2396 and SCP 049, after scp 076 awakens during the changes, he decides not to kill them, he just knocks out some guards, D classes and researchers, he finds Katya as he knows all the languages, he realized that Katya was a Brazilian Latina, during the break he crossed paths with SCP 2396 and later scp 049, Katya then gave the 3 some of Berenice's jewelry, SCP 076 got the black and white choker, with Scp 2396 she got the necklace emerald and SCP 049 got a ruby ring.
Both fled and joined the hand of the serpent and received a mission, to seek out the members of HOLLY HOLLY NIGHTMARE and seek the 7th and last child because there is a prophecy that the son of Adam would join the reincarnation of the heavenly and fallen angels, There are supernatural things, some that the hand of the serpent believes because the 6 members of my fancon are reincarnations, they have souls of light and darkness within them, that is, divine and fallen blood, they have to fight to keep their light active, Ivan, Ana Rosa & Sean, Elias, Billy and Nay (the 7th lost child) and other anomalies, including those who are guardians of the spiritual and dimensional world, there will also be interactions with universes of Saint Seiya, Welcome Home, Yugioh and many others, as I said, they are guardians among the universes and hunt demons and still have to live with the ultraconservatism of their church relatives. All 7 are victims of aggression, the 7th being the most dangerous child, Abel has his attention focused on her, they all have their age range between 150 years old and 26 years old. all of legal age.
The Holly holly Nightmare group and some agents of Hand of the Serpent are the ones created by me, there may be some original things in this fancon, such as the Church of the Broken God and Aldagama and enemies of Hand of the Serpent, it is worth remembering that they are Cain and Abel from the Bible of Christian and Jewish belief. It is focused on the redemption of Abel, something similar to Harley quiin, there may be ships, if you don't like seeing this, please don't insult me or threaten me, just stay away.
In official SCP reports, none of the 3 can interact, not even SCP 076, which is the most aggressive of the 3, he doesn't do well in teamwork, and doesn't even feel love or anything like that. The original characters belong to SCP FOUNDATION.
CURIOSITIES:
My universe in this fancanon is somewhat "supernatural", "unreal" whatever you want to call it, since it takes place in a world where there are humans, anthropomorphic animals and even unreal creatures. -the holy holy nightmare is protected by the hand of the serpent, they are used as a weapon by ultra conservatives to kill and punish any Christian who runs away from the doctrine created by man (rules that have nothing to do with the Bible), after a few years they abandon These conservatives and their focus is the hand of the serpent and protecting the spiritual world and other dimensions, they charge for this by earning a lot of money. and Abel help them control their desire to kill, it's not easy but they can do it…sometimes.
Something you should know is that, in this AU, furry animals can decide whether they want to wear clothes or not, because even if they don't wear them, they are covered in feathers or fur. Humans see it as normal for furry people to be "naked" sometimes, just like seeing a normal animal.
-The parents of the 6 reincarnated are someone similar to KING SCARLET, powerful beings including Billy and Nay's father and Elias. If you have any questions, send me an ask.
-berenice's jewels, control the power of the anamalo's nature, do not neutralize its power but help it to be controlled, as in the case of scp 2396, only in this fancanon there is something like this because it is not original because she comes on a farm surrounded only by women. SCP 076's necklace can see souls in their real state, this helps to not kill people, and SCP 049's ring gives the power of invisibility and cloaking.
-There are LGBT characters, everyone in these fancons is asexual, some are repulsive to sex and others like it.
-it has shounem and echhi be careful if you don't like it XD
JUST THAT LIKES MY FANCON.
@imjustthatweird What do you think of this fancon?

For my own sake here's my list of how I think Saga/pope Ares interacted/treated the gold saints
Mu
While he pretended to be Shion for the past 13 years he didn't really know how to treat Mu so he just became more stricter and serious. Mu didn't think anything of it since he thought that his personality change was due to him getting older. When it was revealed that it was Saga all along and that he killed Shion he was 100% willing to kill Saga if given the chance. (also yes i think he would kill saga in one go)
Aldebaran
Nothing changed. I said it before and I'll say it again everyone loves Aldebaran so luckily he didn't get caught in any type of emotional crossfire amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Deathmask
Honestly I think this is one of the very few "healthy" relationships that he has w anyone. For the most part DM follows Saga on his own accord and doesn't really get told off like everyone else. The worst that he's gone through is an aggressive remark from Saga but other than that they're kinda chill.
Aiolia
Yeah uh idk what else to add that hasn't been explored LMAO. Just to refresh Saga killed his brother, didn't do anything to stop the constant harassment and death threats he received, gaslit him multiple times to second guess both himself and Aiolos, mind controlled him and almost made him kill Seiya etc. Besides all of that I think Saga just tried to not acknowledge him either out of guilt, awkwardness or to save himself from the hassle of trying to rope Aiolia into his scheme.
Shaka
Saga knew that Shaka was one of the strongest saints along with him and he knew that he was egotistical. He used his ego and self idolization to manipulate Shaka to follow him unquestionably. Shaka was a type of right hand man to Saga who "helped" run the sanctuary whenever Saga wasn't around because what's the easiest way to get people to follow you than to drag around one of the most praised warriors in all of Sanctuary.
Dohko
While Shion and Dohko did loose contact after the previous holy war they did communicate every now and then to see how the other has been. I like the hc that they would send each other letters and that they stopped when Saga came into the picture. Saga would still receive them but would never write back. The only time they did communicate was whenever he made announcements or commands and to Dohko that became a red herring for something being wrong in the Sanctuary.
Milo
Similar to Shaka (ego wise) Saga would almost always praise Milo after his missions especially in front of Aiolia. To Milo it was a great booster bc what's better than being the "favorite" of the pope and being praised almost all the times in front of that traitorous bastard. Saga also used Milo as a pawn to indirectly put Aiolia down which is why Milo was never told to back off from during their youth.
Aiolos
yeah...
Shura
If there's one man who went through hell and back it's definitely Shura. He got wrapped into this whole thing from the start I hc him being one of the first people who went to Saga's aid when he tried to kill Saori only for him to get the short end of the stick. Bc Shura was really young and admired Aiolos it was near impossible to get him to kill Aiolos so Saga did the best thing he could think of and mind controlled him the whole time. Ever since then Shura kind of became a puppet for Saga to use whenever he needed something done and bc he was a witness to his crimes Saga had a v close eye on him. This heavily affected Shura and led to him being very shut off and reserved from the others and only ever confiding with Aphrodite and DM.
Camus
I think Camus is one of the golds that Saga interacted with the least but that doesn't mean he didn't use him where he could. Saga was deeply interested in Camus' lack of emotion and restrain so he wanted to experiment a bit and see how it'd go if he were to train some students hence Isaak and Hyoga. It doesn't go as planned and to make matters worse he notices that the two made Camus a bit more emotional. In return Saga told him directly that he was growing weaker which led to Camus becoming crueler and stricter with Hyoga out of frustration (this is a whole 'nother can of worms but hopefully you'll get the idea)
Aphrodite
His relationship isn't too different from DM. He also chooses to follow Saga on his own accord and a main difference is that he's usually on Saga's good side. Aphrodite does see him differently as he genuinely believes that Saga fits well in the position of a pope. Aphrodite does share a similar role to Shura where he is also used by Saga to get things done or certain people gone.
But uhhh yeah that's it ty if you read all of it I'll literally die for you. Feel free to ask any questions I'd definitely love answering them.

So I think this is what is actually rubbing me the wrong way:
I'm a bit worried about Sailor Moon Cosmos rekindling old ship wars and old vitriol. Sailor Moon famously has a ton of canon versions from the 90s anime to Myu and this diversity and variety is beautiful and I am all about celebrating all sides of that. I honestly hadn't been worried about these things coming back before, because I thought we'd grown past it. In general, personally I'm someone who doesn't enjoy seeing hate in fandom spaces - spaces that are about enjoying, loving, and celebrating a shared interest. But now I've seen more posts, reblogs and answers soley about how people hate certain aspects in the few past days since the announcement than I've seen in literal years, which would be absolutely fine if it was just a blip but I guess it's making me worried about what's to come. Which is in part absolutely a me thing because what I love about this fandom corner is, well, not that. And let me be clear - I love nuanced and open discussions about it, including things that people dislike and struggle with about it, these are not the kind of posts and notes I'm talking about. And it also makes SENSE that a lot of usamamo fans especially have grief and beef with 90s Stars since Mamoru was killed, misunderstood in his death by Usagi, and Usagi spent a lot of time with Seiya instead, and want to discuss the nature of this grief and beef and to understand it better with people who think the same - and these are conversations that are most often really great -and even awesome. Discussions that I don't mean here in the least, especially if led in mutually validating ways. But while many people are fantastically capable to have these discussions without devaluing the content itself and those who happen to like it, others aren't - or at least they aren't trying to be, which also sometimes makes sense.
(Don't get me wrong I'm not saying everyone has to love the same thing. But not expressing open hate directly TO people who love a thing is an option. I guess my point is Ship And Let Ship in liking-x-canon form.)
So yeah I guess I'm not iffy at individual people or reactions, I'm worried about my lovely celebratory fandom space for the future, and worried that I might be curating my dash a lot more in the next year. (Which is of course absolutely possible and a good solution for me)
Anyway, I want to suggest an additional solution: How about we establish hashtags that people can follow or block depending on their own preference. #I-hate-sm-stars for those who want to discuss the aspects they hate on their own blogs without having to keep in mind the actual fans of the thing which is something they obviously should be able to, and maybe even an #sm-stars-salt for those who complain in a more nuanced way? This way everyone can complain to their heart's content and others can curate in a way more targeted way if they want to see it or not.

Sometimes I get nice reviews on FF.net, and I got another one. I think some of the comments the person made are really thoughtful. It made me wonder a few things about my fanfic, its contrast with canon, etc. I want to add words to some of what has been said, first as a form of gratitude for every nice comment, but also in the hopes that others might find my insights interesting.
1) "The other Bronze Saints don't disappear after the Galaxian War, Sanctuary feels like an actual community […]"
Hopefully more people feel this way about my portrayals. One of the major issues with works like Saint Seiya is the vast amount of underused/ill-used characters. We have tons of these, mostly Silver and Bronze Saints. How I did June is already a sign that I want to better portray minor characters.
Please, I wish for others to take this for their stories too, wherever possible and desirable. The best way I found to achieve it is so find uses for those characters: because Sanctuary is a true society, all-out war was necessary to take down the Pope; Marin is Athena's contact on the inside; Jabu and the others are her allies in preparing a rebellion, but their known participation in the Galaxian Wars means they're a target for the Pope; Silver Saints like Crow and Auriga are a part of Sanctuary's intelligence, and appeared way earlier in the story than my readers have noticed, leading to the purge that initiates the war. People like them, Lizard, Centaurus, Cerberus, etc. are not evil, they are all Saints serving Athena, misled by lies. Their deaths are terrible things, and the Bronze Saints respect their corpses and Cloths like any other.
I understand that characters are not real people, but tools for the plot. I try to enrich the plot of SS by ensuring that characters are not oversimplified caricatures, and that they have some use whenever possible. I learned a lot about writing better stories by doing this.
2) "You've done so much work with the Gold Saints, not only clearing up inconsistencies from their canon portrayals, but also making them so much more interesting! Deathmask and Shaka stand out to me in particular; the former because his initial canon portrayal was a) one dimensional and b) really at odds with how he ended up being portrayed in later spinoffs, and the latter because his first appearance had so many personality differences from his later version that they feel like two different characters."
Like the anime, I omitted the manga's random visit that Shaka does in Deathqueen's. This would make his encounter with Ikki in Sanctuary less impactful, so I had to find a way to make up for it. I was always confused about what Kurumada wanted from Shaka, so I instead reinforced his Mahayana Buddhism. He's the first Gold Saint who, instead of using lethal force, incapacitates the Bronze Saints and waits for a word from Mu. Originally, the Six-Path Transmigration could kill someone; in my version, it can only ensnare someone indefinitely. There's tension between Shaka's non-violence and Ikki's bloody past.
That is both consistent and interesting, and the length of Shaka's chapter (the longest so far) is also a demonstration of how long the Bronze Saints were actually trapped with him. It was more than enough time for Hyoga's senses to heal.
These changes fit well to me, Shaka becoming a more stable character. Buddhist mendicants are like that: tranquil, reasonable, and distinguishable. You feel safe near them.
My Deathmask is the opposite, a potential menace. He's not an evil man and certainly serves Athena, though he's also an extreme pragmatist. Sure, he has some distasteful opinions, but that's a personality flaw. We all have flaws.
What was Deathmask in the original? He was an obstacle for the Bronze Saints. Shiryu's question is, "how can an evil man become a Gold Saint?" The canon's answer is that sometimes evil people achieve great power (this is fine, but repetitive due to Saga, etc.), whereas my fanfic's answer is that Deathmask isn't evil at all. Shiryu is mistaken.
In "A Strife of Silver", I made Athena say this: "We need Saints as sweet as Shun, and Saints as severe as [Shaina]." She believes both mellow and harsh Saints are necessary for a functioning Sanctuary. There is no ideal personality for a Saint, which means Deathmask is good and in his righteous role.
The worst part in my fanfic, however, is that Shaka is just a super strong dude. Deathmask, in the other hand, holds the fabric of existence together. I rewrote the Cancer Saint to be crucial to the Underworld, Sanctuary, and Heaven. If no one tends for the souls in the House of Cancer, reincarnations suffer a great toll.
This makes Deathmask less unidimensional, more useful, more interesting, and forces me to write him with depth. There's background plot that will slowly be unveiled over time for him, and his death will echo until the Heaven Arc.
3) "[…] then you have the early introduction of the other realms, which is phenomenally appreciated! Especially getting a brief glimpse of Olympus here; one of my biggest frustrations with Saint Seiya is that we still haven't gotten a proper Heaven Chapter, even with all the spinoffs still coming out."
I'd like to know, do you have a personal theory on why Kurumada and Toei never gave us that? I never understood it. I feel that there's a disconnect between what fans long for in a popular IP, and the risks most authors and companies are willing to take. Kurumada had a vision for Heaven Chapter, and that's Next Dimension. It's ok, just not what I wanted. Maybe I'm somewhat of a fatalist, but my fanfic has a beginning and an end, no loose threads. We will go from Japan to Heaven, and it will finish there. That's a big bet to make.
Since I know where I'm going, I know the limits of my universe, and I explore it once it's convenient or needed. The Underworld and Heaven had to appear now, because Deathmask affects them too greatly not to. This hints at more visits from Heaven over time. Actually, Pandora is subtly alluded to for the first time in the Dark Saints Arc, so I wonder if any readers noticed that. She's obviously going to be much more of a key character than in the original.
In all fairness, we have the benefit of hindsight, so we can tie up plot points neatly like that. It's a wonderful, privileged position to be in, not unlike, well… Netflix's scriptwriters. I preface this expressing genuine respect for their labor, despite disliking the results.
With that said, here's another reminder that this is my vision for what I wanted the Netflix show to be. It has all of our Western grittiness mixed in: questions of Becoming, morality, love, hate, violence, peace, and a constant exploration of death and its outcomes. Contrasting this with the X-Men: Saint Seiya we got from Netflix gives me a chuckle. I naively hoped for Netflix to give us all of those things we didn't get from Toei, but here I am, 260,000+ words into writing my vision.
If I had been hired by Netflix, I would've pressured executives and leads in the directions I laid down. Alright, let's make wild changes, make June a main character, focus on Jabu and friends some more, give Marin and Shaina space, double down on Hyoga and Shun, fix Deathmask, create new characters, show the Underworld and Heaven early on, turn Seika into someone else… but keep it Saint Seiya.

On the Topic of Seiya Kou.
This is a Sailor Moon post rather than a Dragon Age post. Shocker, I know, but Sailor Moon is another one of my loves. This will focus on the 90s anime adaptation of the manga. So do not come at me with “but in the manga,” because the 90s adaptation and the manga were incredibly different in multiple ways. Seiya will be referred to as she/her because the male form was a disguise. That being said, any interpretation of Seiya’s gender is valid and I love them all! Anyway. I see a lot of shit talking about Seiya and it’s honestly ... super tiring. So many of the “negative” points against Seiya are misinterpreted, misunderstood, and misrepresented for the sake of making her look like a dumpster fire. 1. “Seiya is creepy towards Usagi and stalks her.” Except ... she doesn’t. They meet by accident numerous times, and in fact Usagi even seeks Seiya out. They develop a friendship, and it’s normal and natural for friends to seek each other out. Usagi and the girls actually, literally stalk the Three Lights more than once during the season. 2. “Seiya thinks Usagi is weak because she told Mamoru to take care of her when they left.” This honestly makes no sense to me. It is repeatedly shown that Seiya admires Usagi’s strength, both as Usagi and as Sailor Moon. It is natural to want the people you love to be protected, and that does not mean that you think they’re weak and incapable of protecting themselves. Seiya knew Usagi was capable and strong because she had seen her demonstrate these traits multiple times. Throughout the season, Seiya repeatedly lifts Usagi up with her confidence in her capabilities. This is even before she knows she is Sailor Moon. Let’s not forget that when Galaxia kills all of the Inners, they ask the Starlights to protect Sailor Moon, so saying that Seiya telling Mamoru to take care of her means she thinks she is weak ... that must mean everyone else thinks she is too, right? It’s absurd. 3. “Seiya can’t take ‘no’ for an answer, always hits on her, and is constantly pressuring her into a relationship.” It is true that Seiya repeatedly quips about “having a chance” with Usagi. It’s also true that Usagi repeatedly reminds Seiya that she has a boyfriend. But it isn’t true that Seiya repeatedly attempts to coerce her into a relationship. It also isn’t true that she does it all the time. While she shouldn’t have done it even more than once (when she was unaware of Usagi’s relationship status,) it’s obvious from the context that she isn’t being serious. Seiya repeatedly making quips is an issue, and while those kinds of situations can and often do mean someone is being a “Nice Guy,” a predator, an abuser, etc., we know from everything that we see that it is not the case with Seiya. Let’s take the “date,” for an example: Seiya throws it out there (literally, just time and place and walks off) and Usagi willingly shows up the next day and is even irritated that Seiya is late. Usagi is not forced or coerced into the date; she retains all of the power regarding whether or not she shows up. She would not have gone if she didn’t want to. Actually, let’s look at these instances of Seiya hitting/making a move on Usagi. - In the “date” episode, Usagi thinks that Seiya is going to make a move on her. Some suggest that Usagi thinks she is going to kiss her, but the language, Usagi’s expressions, and her reaction to the truth seem to imply that she thinks Seiya is suggesting something more intimate. - In the episode with the beach monster when Chibi Chibi opens up the door and pushes Seiya over on to Usagi, Usagi is the one who, again, assumes Seiya is up to No Good, despite it being a complete accident and innocent on Seiya’s part. - In the episode where Seiya spends the night at Usagi’s because she’s alone and Seiya very nearly confesses who she is to Usagi while they’re in her bedroom, it is Usagi who believes that Seiya is going to confess to having a crush on her. - Later in that same episode, when they are hiding in the cabinet and Seiya again thinks about confessing her true identity to her, it is Usagi who thinks Seiya is about to suggest something intimate. In fact, throughout the season, it is everyone from Usagi, to the other girls, to single-episode characters, to even Luna who think that Seiya is going to suggest or attempt illicit activities with Usagi, and not Seiya. It is all but explicitly stated that Usagi is attracted to Seiya. Not just because of the implications of her assumptions, but also because she is scolded over it. In fact, Rei tells her that she needs to sort her feelings out. Haruka and Michiru forbid her from seeing Seiya because she has Mamoru. She may not love Seiya the same way, but she is attracted to her and she does love her (and Usagi being attracted to other people is not a new thing.) Let’s look at the softball episode, because it’s ... pretty problematic and people often point to it as being one of the episodes that paint Seiya as some creepy stalker who can’t just take a hint and tells everyone that Usagi is her girlfriend. It is Rei who thinks that Seiya training Usagi in softball is inappropriate (let’s remember that it is Ami who thinks that something illicit is going on with Seiya and Usagi in the bodyguard episode...) because Mamoru is Usagi’s boyfriend, not Seiya. It is Sonoko who insists that Seiya’s “relationship” with Usagi isn’t acceptable, and it is her that places the bet that if Seiya’s team loses, she’s not to associate with Usagi anymore. Seiya agrees because she’s competitive, hates to lose, has confidence in herself and Usagi, and knows that Sonoko is wrong. When Usagi tries to interject about the actual nature of their relationship (that they’re not dating,) it’s the girls who shush her because they’re expecting Seiya’s team to lose and that will give them the opportunity to make Seiya feel better. I want to touch on the “Seiya knows Sonoko is wrong” part. I think what a lot of people don’t think about is that when Sonoko placed this bet and openly stated her disapproval of Seiya spending time with Usagi, Sonoko was attacking Usagi’s worth as a person. She was openly saying that Usagi wasn’t good enough to be hanging out with Seiya in any capacity. Seiya took issue with this because she obviously believes and knows differently. She values Usagi as a person. Who is Sonoko to decide who is and isn’t good enough to spend time with her? Seiya is not approaching the situation with entirely selfish motives, unlike the girls who fed into the Seiya/Usagi romance for the hopeful eventuality of them being able to comfort Seiya after a loss when she’ll be forced to stop hanging out with Usagi. She uses this situation to help bolster Usagi’s confidence in herself. That doesn’t change the fact that the bet is stupid to begin with, but it is what it is. Oh, additionally ... Seiya doesn’t tell the school that she and Usagi are dating. Them dating is an assumption that Seiya simply doesn’t correct. It’s worth noting that if she did correct that assumption, it would feed into Sonoko’s declaration that Usagi isn’t good enough to be with Seiya. 4. “Seiya tried to make the rooftop scene about herself and used it as a way to try to take Mamoru’s place in Usagi’s life.” This whole entire scene is consistently misinterpreted and has all of the context ripped from it, because that is not what that scene is. No, it 100% was not the best time for Seiya to ask that question (and no, it is not “can I take his place?” that she says,) but people tend to forget that Usagi is not the only vulnerable person in this scene and it isn’t just about her. It is Seiya who triggers Usagi’s emotional breakdown on accident, and in these moments she is watching the person she loves crumble into pieces. The rooftop scene is about both of them and the context makes that clear. Up until this point, the only person who knew that Mamoru wasn’t keeping in contact with Usagi was Seiya. None of the girls knew, none of them. Imagine the amount of trust Usagi had to have in Seiya in order to share that incredibly sensitive information with her and with no one else, not even her closest friends. Usagi had told Seiya a whole 13 episodes before this one, and since finding out Seiya tried her best to make Usagi happy and to keep her mind busy. It isn’t until a few episodes after this that everyone including Seiya finds out that Mamoru is dead. So Seiya spends all of this time believing that Mamoru ditched Usagi when he moved overseas and that he’s a horrible boyfriend who obviously doesn’t care about Usagi. This is naturally hurtful to Seiya, who grows to genuinely like and love Usagi through the season. She cares for her and doesn’t want to see her in pain, which is why she does her best to help Usagi feel less alone. There is no point in the season where Seiya’s intentions are to maliciously shove herself into Mamoru’s place in Usagi’s life. She has no idea who Tuxedo Mask is. She had no idea that throwing the red rose - her own personal trademark - was going to trigger such an emotional response from Usagi. So here they both are on this rooftop in the middle of the pouring rain. Usagi’s breaking down over how alone she feels, and Seiya’s suddenly faced with the realization that not only did she cause this breakdown, everything she had been trying to do to help her wasn’t working and she failed again. She couldn’t save her system/planets, 99.9% of her people are literally dead because she wasn’t strong enough to save them, and she and the other two members of her team had no idea where their princess was or even if she was okay until the episode before this one. Immediately after the destruction of everything they knew, the Starlights had to flee to an alien planet with alien people, disguise themselves, and pander to a bunch of complete strangers that salivated over, stalked, and harassed them, all while searching for their princess  and fighting the minions of the person who ctrl+a ctrl+x’ed their home system. She had no time to process any of the unimaginable loss and failure she had suffered through. When people talk about the rooftop scene and about how Seiya “makes it about herself,” this is everything they’re forgetting. When Seiya is asking Usagi if she isn’t good enough, it isn’t Seiya trying to weasel her way in, it’s Seiya both coping with her own numerous losses and trying to remind Usagi that she’s there for her. In the end, Seiya is the one that Usagi credits with being able to get herself through everything she was dealing with.

Hello if it’s ok can I request a Manigoldo x Male reader angst and fluff. It’s when Manigoldo died and his soul visited Shion at his temple. Basically Manigoldo also visits his lover for what he believes will be for the last time. The fluff part is that the Male reader was training for getting the Virgo gold cloth and he also dies later permanently destroying Thanos. And both Manigoldo and the male reader reincarnate and meet and recognize each other again and they are so happy to re unite and decide to face whatever the future holds together.
That's a good idea, although unfortunately I do stick a bit more to the lore of saint seiya and the rules of Greek mythology (they didn't believe in reincarnation). But you are lucky that with Danann/Ada's lore this is possible.
So I'll change it a little bit, I hope you don't mind.
The box glowed immeasurably for a few seconds until the phenomenon disappeared as quickly as it came. Lynx (Y/N) hugged the Cancer saint with his last strength, shedding tears at the death of his beloved, letting out a heartbreaking cry full of sadness.
--- You did it, you sealed Thanatos... you did it, crab --- the young man turned to see the redhead, who held the box where the god had been sealed, the saint of Vulpecula looked at the engravings in detail until she looked at the saint of Lynx, although with the mask it was difficult to know what Danann was looking, feeling or thinking --- Come (Y/N), let me heal you.
--- Have you no feelings at all? --- the saint spoke rudely, full of anger at the calm attitude of the young woman --- Manigoldo was your friend, and you act as if he had fallen asleep after a drunken binge.
--- He is my friend, and I am saddened by his death, but I am not under the rules of Hades, of the Greeks. --- the young woman was sincere, kneeling in front of them, just leveling her face --- So I am not sad, I am a patient person, I will see him again --- the young woman pulled a letter from her armor, placing it just under the shirt of the now deceased saint --- (Y/N), though you know little, you know enough to finish the work of Thanatos --- the words made the knight shudder, was she really going to kill him? Who was really Danann of Vulpecula, was she even an ally or was it all a role to infiltrate, but most of all? Who did she serve?
--- Whose god do you serve? --- uttered the young man with disgust, in his heart there was loss but his mind screamed betrayal. The situation became more tense when the young woman pulled out a dagger.
--- I swear my loyalty to Athena, so I serve her --- Danann, ignoring her friend's reactions, made a small cut on her wrist, squeezing it to draw blood --- under the name of Danann I swear my loyalty, but Ada.... --- spoke the young woman as she drew a symbol on Manigoldo's forehead, disappearing with a glow as she finished ---... she will always have a place to return to.
--- What did you just do? --- The young man bellowed, moving as far away as he could from her, who seemed to be approaching him to do the same.
--- My brother Ibic, my deranged and crazy brother --- laughed the young woman, recalling what seemed to be old memories of him --- he taught me how to... deflect the dead. The triquet, a simple but powerful symbol, not for nothing Athena herself asked for our help --- (Y/N) opened his eyes wide, full of surprise and disbelief. Athena did what? --- Setanta, my other brother, always told me that when she was young she was very proud, she even wanted to deceive Father, but she couldn't and paid the price.
--- Why are you telling me this? Why now?
--- So that Ibic knows that I sent you, in case in the Alltar or Other World you don't find Manigoldo... or in case the moron throws away the letter I gave him.
--- He wouldn't do that... okay, yes he would, but not because of what you think...
---Because it's in a language he can't read and doesn't have something to translate it?
---...touche
---You know, I don't like goodbyes, especially not from people I appreciate --- The young woman, with her healthy hand, took off her mask. (Y/N) knew very well what the young woman was doing, looking for a justification for the cruel act she was about to commit, although he also felt a slight surprise at the sight of such a guarded face. --- When you are in the Alltar, do not use your name and prevent Manigoldo from using yours. The creatures that dwell there sometimes play very practical jokes.
--- What do you want me to call myself? Manolo? --- The young man joked sarcastically while the gray-eyed girl drew a triquet on his forehead.
--- Or kitten as he called you
--- How do you know that?
--- I am the saint of Vulpecula, we know all the secrets of the sanctuary, and besides you are very noisy. I've never seen Albafica so red.
--- Kill me quickly, I want to give a blow to that crab, he promised me that night no one heard anything. That no one would know.
---Say hello to my brother for me... and tell him I'm fine --- after that, the young man only felt absolute nothingness. Danann, no, Ada had kept her word. A few seconds later, he (Y/N) felt grass on his back and could feel a light on him.
The young man opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a beautiful clearing like he had never seen before. The trees were in more vivid shades, there was even one with a red trunk and golden leaves, the animals were so chimerical and bushy. However, his attention was drawn to a cry from a familiar voice, followed by another from an unfamiliar voice.
When he turned towards the voice he was greeted by a passionate embrace and kiss, it was so typical of the Cancer saint, but (Y/N) he felt in his heart an immense joy and relief to see his beloved again.
--- Are you two lovebirds done? --- spoke the stranger who was ignored by the two lovers, so deep in their world, so deep that it seemed that Manigoldo was going deeper, so the young man with orange hair separated them --- Very well, I'll stop them here before you do something or the siabhra do something.
--- Got it, I'll stop Cibic --- Manigoldo growled as he approached his beloved --- when we're safe, I'll make you meow, kitty --- whispered in his ear, causing him (Y/N) to blush... but he remembered. Without warning, the young man slapped his partner, leaving Manigoldo and Cibic stunned.
--- What was that for?!
--- You said that night no one would listen to us, you lied, Danann and Alba listened.
---... that bitch, she said she was never going to tell, well she told you already when you died... wait how did you die? I was supposed to get you to safety.
--- I tried to destroy Thanatos already once he was sealed, but even inside the seal he fought back, so I guess Danann finally did me a favor. At least she did it fast.
--- Kitty, you're an idiot, but you're my idiot.
--- And you're mine
Both lovers pressed their lips together again, happy that even this strange place, they could be together.
Bonus:
Dear Ada:
I already received your friends at Alltar, it was a road full of surprises and jokes, as well as many explanations. Don't worry, they are already under the care of Boris who seems to want to kill you for giving him more work; after all, being reborn is a long and heavy process as you know.
The family is fine, but our brothers Olindico and Setanta seem willing to pay you a little visit. Apparently that Manigoldo guy said or joked about you having a boyfriend, and you know how they are, and they didn't take it very well.
But back to your friends, some of them hesitated to join the minor keltois; the good thing is that Galahad didn't take the rejection badly, it was quite understandable. Boris, well, he didn't offer to teach them anything or let them stay in his ward; you know how he likes to keep Father's secrets and the keltoi away from those he doesn't know. For now, they will be under the care of Percival and the 12 Sídhe Keltoi, watching that they don't get too smart like their.... well, you know who I mean.
I miss you, we miss you, and most of all, Dad misses you. We wait for you to decide to come back, but I can tell that where you are, you seem to be doing well. If you ever have a week off, visit us.
Affectionately, your brother Ibic

Spanish version
La caja brillo inmensurablemente por unos segundos hasta que el fenómeno desapareció tan rápido como vino. (Y/N) de Lynx abrazaba con sus ultimas fuerzas al santo de Cáncer, soltando lagrimas ante la muerte de su amado, sacando afuera un grito desgarrador lleno de tristeza.
--- Lo lograste, sellaste a Thanatos... lo hiciste, tenacitas --- el joven volteo a ver a la pelirroja, quien sostenía la caja en donde había sellado al dios, la santo de Vulpecula miraba los grabados con detalle hasta que miro al santo de Lynx, aunque con la mascara era difícil saber lo que miraba, sintiera o pensara Danann --- Ven (Y/N), dejame curarte
--- ¿Acaso no tienes sentimiento alguno? --- hablo con rudeza el santo, lleno de enojo ante la actitud calmada de la joven --- Manigoldo era tu amigo, y actúas como si se hubiera dormido después de una borrachera
--- Es mi amigo, y estoy triste por su muerte, mas yo no estoy bajo las reglas de Hades, de los griegos. --- se sincero la joven, arrodillándose enfrente de ellos, justo nivelando su rostro --- Por ello no estoy triste, soy una persona paciente, lo volveré a ver --- la joven saco una carta de su armadura, poniéndosela a justo bajo la camisa del ahora fallecido santo --- (Y/N), aunque poco sabes, sabes lo suficiente como para terminar el trabajo de Thanatos --- las palabras hicieron estremecer al caballero, ¿de verdad lo iba a matar? ¿Quién era realmente Danann de Vulpecula? ¿Siquiera fue una aliada o era todo un papel para infiltrarse? pero sobre todo... ¿A quien servía?.
--- ¿A que dios sirves? --- pronuncio con asco el joven, en su corazón había perdida mas su mente gritaba traición. La situación se puso mas tensa cuando la joven saco una daga.
--- Jure mi lealtad a Athena, así que sirvo a ella --- Danann, ignorando las reacciones de su amigo, se hizo un pequeño corte en la muñeca, apretando para que saliera sangre --- bajo el nombre de Danann le jure lealtad, pero Ada... --- hablo la joven mientras dibuja un símbolo a Manigoldo en la frente, desapareciendo con un brillo cuando finalizo ---... siempre tendrá un lugar al cual regresar.
--- ¿Qué acabas de hacer? --- bramo el joven, alejándose lo mas que podía de ella, quien parecía acercársele para hacerle lo mismo.
--- Mi hermano Ibic, mi desquiciado y loco hermano --- rio la joven, recordando lo que parecía ser memorias viejas del mencionado --- me enseño como... desviar los muertos. La triqueta, un símbolo simple pero poderoso, no por nada la misma Athena pidió nuestra ayuda --- (Y/N) abrió los ojos en par, lleno de sorpresa e incredulidad. ¿Athena hizo que? --- Setanta, mi otro hermano, siempre me conto que ella de joven fue muy soberbia, incluso quiso engañar a Padre, mas no pudo y pago el precio.
--- ¿Por que me estas contando esto? ¿Por que ahora?
--- Para que Ibic sepa que te mande yo, por si en el Alltar u Otro mundo no encuentras a Manigoldo... o por si el tarado tira la carta que le puse
--- El no haría eso... okay, si lo haría, pero no por lo que crees
---¿Por que esta en un idioma que no sabe leerlo y no tiene algo para traducirlo?
---...touche
---¿Sabes? No me gustan las despedidas, y menos de las personas que aprecio --- La joven, con su mano sana, se quito la mascara. (Y/N) sabia muy bien lo que la joven estaba haciendo, buscar una justificación a tan cruel acto que iba cometer, aunque también sintió una leve sorpresa al ver a tan custodiado rostro. --- Cuando estés en el Alltar, no uses tu nombre y evita que Manigoldo use el tuyo. Las criaturas que habitan ahí a veces juegan bromas muy pesadas.
--- ¿Cómo quieres que me ponga? ¿Manolo?--- bromeo sarcásticamente el joven mientras que la chica de ojos grises le dibujaba una triqueta en la frente.
--- O gatito como el te decía
--- ¿Tu como sabes eso?
--- Soy el santo de Vulpecula, sabemos todos los secretos del santuario, y aparte de que son muy ruidosos. Jamás había visto a Albafica tan rojo.
--- Matame rápido, quiero darle un golpe a ese cangrejo, me prometió que ese noche nadie escucho nada. Que nadie lo sabría
---Saluda a mi hermano de mi parte... y dile que estoy bien --- después de eso, el joven solo sintió la absoluta nada. Danann, no, Ada había cumplido su palabra. Unos segundos después, (Y/N) sentía pasto en su espalda y podía sentir una luz sobre el.
el joven abrió los ojos y lo primero que vio era un bello claro como jamás había visto antes. Los arboles eran de tonos mas vivos, incluso había uno de tronco rojo y hojas doradas, los animales eran tan quiméricos y venustos. Sin embargo, su atención se centro en un grito por una voz familiar, seguida de otro de una voz desconocida.
Cuando volteo hacia la voz fue recibido por un abrazo y un beso apasionado, era algo tan típico del santo de Cáncer, pero (Y/N) sintió en su corazón una inmensa alegría y alivio al volver a ver a su amado.
--- ¿Ya acabaron, par de tortolos? --- hablo el desconocido que fue ignorado por los dos amantes metidos en su mundo, tan metidos que parecía que Manigoldo iba profundizar por lo cual el joven de pelo anaranjado los separo --- Muy bien, aquí los detengo antes de que hagan algo o los siabhra hagan algo.
--- Entendido, ya paro Cibic --- gruño Manigoldo mientras se acercaba a su amado --- cuando estemos seguros, te voy a hacer maullar, gatito --- susurro en su oído, causando que (Y/N) se sonrojara... pero recordara. Sin aviso alguno, el joven le dio una cachetada a su pareja, dejando a Manigoldo y Cibic estupefactos.
--- ¡¿A que vino eso?!
--- Dijiste que esa noche nadie nos escucharía, mentiste, Danann y Alba escucharon
---... esa maldita, dijo que no lo iba decir nunca, bueno te lo dijo ya cuando moriste... espera ¿Cómo moriste? Se suponía que te puse a salvo
--- Trate de destruir a Thanatos ya una vez sellado, pero aun dentro del sello contraataco, así que creo que Danann al final me hizo un favor. Al menos lo hizo rápido
--- Gatito, eres un idiota, pero eres mi idiota
--- Y tu eres el mío
Ambos amantes volvieron a unir sus labios, felices de que aun este extraño lugar, pudieran estar juntos.
Bonus:
Querida Ada:
Ya recibí a tus amigos en Alltar, fue un camino lleno de sorpresas y bromas, así como muchas explicaciones. Descuida, ya están bajo el cuidado de Boris quien parece que te quiere asesinar por darle mas trabajo; después de todo, renacer es un proceso largo y pesado como ya sabes.
La familia esta bien, pero nuestros hermanos Olindico y Setanta parecen dispuestos a darte una pequeña visita. Al parecer ese tal Manigoldo dijo o bromeo acerca de que tenias novio, y ya sabes como son, y no se lo tomaron muy bien.
Pero volviendo con tus amigos, algunos dudaron si unirse a los keltois menores; lo bueno es que Galahad no se tomo a mal el rechazo, fue bastante comprensible. Boris, bueno, el no se ofreció a enseñarles algo o dejarlos estar en su sala; sabes como le gusta mantener los secretos de Padre y los keltoi lejos de los que no conoce. Por ahora, estarán bajo el cuidado de Percival y los 12 Sídhe Keltoi, vigilando que no se pasen de listos como sus... bueno, tu sabes a quienes me refiero.
Te extraño, te extrañamos, y sobre todo, papá te extraña. Esperamos a que decidas volver, pero se nota que ahi donde estas, pareces estar bien. Si alguna vez tienes una semana libre, visitanos.
Con cariño, tu hermano Ibic

I do not know if the American fandom of Saint Seiya happens the same, but the Latin fandom is common to see fans complaining and thinking characters like death troll, Aphrodite and Shun are weak just for being effeminate or senitimiental.
all those people are very blind, since the manga / anime makes it very clear that they are strong.
I see that many fans believe that he is a clown, idiot, weak, he says that this is a humiliation for people with the sign of cancer, but I am the sign of cancer and I love this character, it is fun and cosmic, good development , He also says that death troll is a bad character for not having doubts about his gender, making fun of it, I respect other people's tastes, but God, it made me win to hit these idiots for having a closed mind and not having something of empathy. But it was not only the development of him that he was my favorite character, but I also loved his personality.
He has more eggs than death mask, death troll kept insulting minos (I think that's what it's called) nor does it matter if he was going to kill him, death mask showed respect and admiration to Suikyō, he got too angry when minos insulted him, something that death mask will not do it, since he will be joking and insulting it does not matter if he realized that that person would fight to the death.
He says that he is a bad golden saint just because he is not serious, something that is silly, you do not have to be serious to be a good golden saint, to be a bad golden saint he had to be weak or to transition to Athena, to I think it's good that he is cosmic, since the manga would be good to have some humor, he has shown that he supports and protects Athena, although at the beginning we all thought that he was going to be a traitor like death mask, no He did, since as his name says, he is a troll.
He is strong, he was able to defeat Suikyō, something that Shion could not.
He was able to use a basic attack and destroy several without effort, apart from the death troll resisting more The Law of Awakening, although there are few scenes we can see the fighting, he uses traps and manipulates him so as not to break a nail. (I know, that reason is something silly for they do not fight seriously)

“K SIDE: PURPLE 12”
Translation: Naru-kun Raws: Ridia
K - Side: Purple (Chapter List)
"Mom is about to die.", said his mother, gently stroking Yukari's hair.
His mother told him to go see the sea. At that time Yukari was 6 years old and, he obeyed her without knowing it. Originally, if she said "go" to him, he would go everywhere with the person named Miyoshi Shinto. She left in the hospital patient clothes, his mother and Mishakuji got into a car and headed straight for the sea.
The sunset over the sea was beautiful. The dimly lit sun was slowly disappearing, melting the breeze from the sky and the sea. Stars began to appear in the ultramarine sky, and as the two of them stared at it, his mother began to talk about death.
"That is why I will soon no longer be able to accompany you, Mishakuji-chan. I entrusted Sayuri-chan with the rest, so dear, thank you for being by my side."
Dinner that day was curry, as simple as saying that his mother would say goodbye to him forever. Yukari looked at her while he was on her lap. Eyes the same color as his were staring into his face. Yukari saw them more beautiful than the stars that shone in the sky.
Yukari asked her when they could see each other again.
"Eh? I don't know, I haven't died before to know."
Yukari said that he hated the idea of ​​not being able to see her again.
"It's bad for mom too. ​But, well, this is it. It can't be helped. There's no one who can't die."
Yukari asked if everyone would die. His mother hugged Yukari from behind; the arms around his chest were white and thin like dead branches, but still warm.
"That's right. Everyone will die one day. Taka-san, Mi-chan, Seiya-san, Sayu-chan and Yukari-chan."
As she touched Yukari's cheeks with her warm palm, "But…", she continued to say. "The important thing is to live, not die."
Yukari looked into his mother's eyes. Her brightness that was more beautiful than the stars.
"People live until they die. After my death, Mishakuji-chan will continue to live. It's a shame I can't see Mishakuji-chan growing up and becoming beautiful, but it's fine."
Then his mother smiled slightly, looking at Yukari's face.
"The most beautiful thing is already in front of me."
Then they continued looking at the sea all the time.
Yukari and his mother lived always giving each other warmth, until the sun set on the sea, the night sky fell, and the white moon floated in the black-tinted sky.
++++++++++
Mi-chan was suffocated on the second floor of the cabaret club where he worked.
Seiya was charred on the street near his house.
Sayuri's body was found in the burned remains of "Hanawarabe."
A week after he protected Yukari, he learned of their deaths.
The few burned survivors of "Nibangai" were kindly protected by an unknown organization called "Scepter 4". Careful attention to injured people and sufficient security, although it was not a safe area. They promised to be the lord of salvation, but they were also carefully interrogated.
They wanted to know only one thing.
In other words, who defeated the members of the "Purgatory" clan?
The members of "Purgatory" fought as if burning their entire existence. Thus, even if it was only one member, it was possible that it could achieve combat power comparable to that of executives from other clans if the conditions were met. It wasn't a clan member from "Scepter 4" who defeated such monster, but "Tokijikuin" and "Cathedral" also sent me a message saying "We don't know anything about it."
Where and who submitted them, and for what purpose? It was a mystery that could not be taken care of by "Scepter 4", who was facing "Purgatory".
The interrogation unfolded in silence, with the special abilities and existence of the hidden "King".
However, from the beginning, "Scepter 4" was the only one who paid attention.
A high school student who lived in the "Hanawarabe" bar, Mishakuji.
He was more than a survivor. At the time of discovery, he went to the immediate vicinity of the corpses of the members of the "Purgatory" clan, and a bloodstained "Scepter 4" saber rolled under his feet. He had been informed that the situation was not just a matter of fact, but was so diabolical that the hasty members accidentally drew their swords.
After being protected, Mishakuji Yukari responded to the questioning with surprising obedience. The concern for the high school students who had all their relatives killed also applied to "Scepter 4", but he never got a chance to use it. Yukari simply answered only what he needed.
He picked up the saber from a bar he knew.
One of the men in black was defeated by his sword master.
And he defeated the other one who killed his master.
"In other words, in short, that's how it was."
In "Scepter 4" office, Jin Habari, who was reading the report, raised his face and coldly laughed.
"Two clansmen were sent to kill the former 'Purgatory' clansman, Noriya Baraki. The target started a battle in 'Nibangai' and was pursued while causing enormous damage to the surroundings. 'A' is returned and avenged. There, Isshin Hase, who was a gatekeeper for "Nibangai", and his disciple, Mishakuji, appear, and Isshin Hase kills Purgatory "B". The boy named Yukari brilliantly defeated him."
"Habari. Do you really believe in such a story?"
It was Gen Shiotsu, deputy director of "Scepter 4", who made a stunned voice. His lips were bitterly distorted at the interesting report.
Habari snorted, "Hm." and placed the report on the office desk. He combined the fingers of both hands and pointed his gaze to a corner of the ceiling.
"Sure. If you just listen to the story, it's absurd. If a high school student killed a member of the "Purgatory" clan, then the future of "Scepter 4" is much brighter. Let's check the results of the national kendo tournament when we select members for next time."
"Habari."
"It's a joke. Don't look so difficult."
As if to loosen the wrinkles between Shiotsu's brows, Habari shook his untangled palm slightly and then raised his index finger.
"But no matter how absurd, the situation is in line with the testimony of the boy named Yukari. "B's" fatal wound was due to Isshin Hase's wooden sword, and Baraki's fatal wound was due to the saber. that Yukari had."
"The saber was brought in by "A". Better to think of the record and "A" as compensation. You will see the autopsy result on the record."
"Look at the autopsy result. He had burns all over his body, but it was not difficult for him to fight. There were almost no injuries from Isshin Hase's wooden sword. So there is only one answer."
"……"
"It was the common people who had no abilities that defeated the 'Purgatory' clansman."
Shiotsu's expression became even more pronounced.
"Is that possible?"
"Even the clansman is human. If his throat is ripped open, he will die. If a human dedicates his entire life to that, the sword can hit a stranger."
Habari's index finger settled on the report on the desk. Seeing him narrow his eyes, Shiotsu was caught up in an unpleasant premonition.
"Hey, Habari. No way..."
"I'm interested."
Then Habari stood up with a refreshing smile.
"Let's meet the Yukari boy. Maybe he is our mighty sword."
++++++++++
The man looked like a piercing blue sky.
Habari Jin suddenly appeared in the private room where Mishakuji was living a sheltered life. He was as bright as a cloudless blue sky and full of unshakeable confidence like the sun that shines in the skies. Even if it wasn't to Yukari's taste, the man's beauty was understandable at first glance.
What came out of Habari's mouth was an unrealistic story.
People with abilities that manipulate special powers and a "King". The clan and the members of the clan that comprise it.
He wouldn't have believed it if he had heard it in words. However, Yukari was "experiencing" it. He had seen the men in black wearing flames.
It was a clan called "Purgatory" that burned down Yukari's hometown.
There was little meaning or reason for his murder. It was like a random buried explosion. The damage could not be avoided and will continue to do so, Habari said.
And to end the story...
"Would you like to get into "Scepter 4"?"
Habari said such a thing.
"Our mission as "Scepter 4" is to prevent damage to the city due to the misuse of super powers and reduce the root cause called "Purgatory". If you are willing to do so, I want you to participate in the battle with us. You are qualified to defeat "Purgatory" even though you are an ordinary person with no different abilities."
With that said, Habari extended his right hand.
Yukari narrowed his eyes in a dazzling way.
There was an irresistible power in his hands. Just as gold attracts people, Habari's words were inevitably full of charm that made people clash. Take his hand, nod and swear allegiance. It seemed quite natural to do so, and there was a reason for Yukari to do it.
"Purgatory" had killed all of Yukari's family.
Since he was protected, that thought had never disappeared for a second. "Purgatory" was a great target to spit out the dark emotions that swirled within him. Become a member of the "Scepter 4" clan and hunt down and kill all those beasts. It seemed ideal for Yukari, as if it were a natural path laid out in front of him. Then…
"I…"
Yukari remembered Hase's last words.
"It seems you can go anywhere."
Habari blinked slowly and couldn't measure its meaning.
Looking back into his eyes, Yukari said.
"To be able to go where I want and live how I want. I think that's all my family wanted from me. It's not about revenge or going to war."
He couldn't believe it.
That would also be an excuse. Even if he wanted revenge, there was no need for Yukari to live that way.
Not because they wanted it that way.
Because he wanted to, Mishakuji Yukari will live as Mishakuji Yukari wants.
"I'm going to see beautiful things, so I can't hold that hand."
"I see."
Habari inevitably laughed and withdrew his right hand.
"I'm sorry I held you back. I hope you have a lot of happiness in your destiny."
"Yes. Thanks for your help."
Yukari leaned over and hung the luggage left in the room on his shoulders.
A poor backpack and a sheath that wrapped his favorite wooden sword. With that, he stepped right next to Habari and tried to get out of the private room.
At that moment, a certain thought suddenly appeared.
(Can I kill this person?)
He didn't know why he thought that.
A beautiful "King" like the blue sky. How does that life shine? He may have wanted to see it.
"Three quick steps". Draw the wooden sword, bend Habari's wrist, aim at his head, and prick his throat.
As he listened to Habari on the sidelines, Mishakuji tried to imagine that image in his head.
However, Habari was laughing.
He chuckled softly before his eyes and lightly tugged on his right foot.
With so much movement, Yukari's image was destroyed. The unannounced one was crushed with his left hand, and completely suppressed. The image came to mind clearly, and Yukari shook his head slightly.
There were countless beautiful things in this world that he did not know about. That made Yukari so happy and sad that he wanted to cry.
++++++++++
Shiotsu had an openly relieved expression when he learned that Mishakuji Yukari's recruitment had failed.
"Really, did he go?"
"Oh, I shuddered brilliantly."
Despite being the "King" who rules the order, Habari's ideas were always out of the standard. One of them was the ongoing canal plan. Shiotsu had the honest impression that it was not a joke, even though he had such problems.
"Scepter 4" is a public institution. Habari knew how difficult it would be to incorporate minors and even go out to exchange life and death, and it was Shiotsu's role to be associated with him.
He knew Shiotsu's feelings. Habari had a light tone.
"But that's it. That kind of person will go wherever he wants."
"Well that's correct. There is no way that ordinary people can outperform talented people."
"I never thought they would reject me in such a place. I was surprised after a long time."
Shiotsu opened his mouth angrily.
"What? What did you say?"
"That's why I faced Yukari. He tries to kill me."
Habari said that with a laugh.
Of course, Shiotsu couldn't laugh.
"No kidding! Why would he have to target your life?"
"Ah? He just wanted to do that for no reason. I think the person who can kill the 'King' is unexpectedly like this."
Habari was shocked that he was not in control. Seeing that all the reasoning was beyond his common sense, Shiotsu didn't know what it should look like.
Habari looked up as if something had occurred to him.
"But sending him into the world is like sowing a Shura seed. Maybe I should have killed him. What do you think, Shiotsu?"
"I don’t know!"
Shiotsu yelled, pointing his finger at his temple to avoid a headache.
++++++++++
Exhaling a cloudy white breath, Ichigen Miwa opened a red Japanese umbrella.
The snow was piling up gently and Miwa left a mark on it. Both the eaves and the garden were a silver world. He loosely twisted his umbrella and let the snow fall, with a bitter smile inwardly saying that it would be difficult to remove the snow.
It was not out of his own defense that the wooden sword hung from his waist.
It was because he had a certain feeling. It can be said that it was precognition. To Miwa Ichigen who woke up as "King", the Slate gave him the power to see the future. It was expressed as a vision that came suddenly regardless of Miwa's intention.
And now, there was a scene in front of him that was the same as the vision he had this morning.
A boy was standing in the snow. He was looking at him with a backpack and scabbard over his shoulder. His face was beautiful, but there was a kind of demon that lived in his eyes. He had to carry a wooden sword because Miwa saw the devil.
"Miwa Ichigen-san, isn't it?"
The boy opened his mouth. The line of sight focused on Miwa.
Miwa smiled and nodded.
"Yes, that's right."
"Nice to meet you. My name is Mishakuji Yukari. Please teach me a lesson."
With that said, Yukari took out the wooden sword from its sheath.
Seeing Yukari's posture, Miwa was slightly impressed.
"I see."
After a while of silence, Miwa carelessly said,
"Is there a dead heart?"
Yukari's expression froze.
He didn't understand why Miwa knew. His unique ability was the ability to see the future, and he should not have been able to know the present from a distant acquaintance.
However, when he saw the boy in front of him, his devilish appearance, his standing posture, and the soot-covered backpack, that intuition was suddenly born.
Yukari's appearance affirmed that intuition. With trembling lips, he approached Miwa.
"My master said that your sword technique is more beautiful than anything else in the world."
The evil in his eyes grew stronger. He took the lead heading towards Miwa.
"I want to see it. Please show me."
Miwa narrowed his eyes.
He did not like useless conflicts. However, no matter what he replied, Yukari would lift his sword from him and attack him. Check the "beauty" of Miwa with the sword. For that reason alone, Mishakuji visited Miwa who lived in this mountainous town.
If he cannot exchange words, he must exchange swords.
"Thank you."
Yukari thanked Miwa that he silently abandoned his umbrella and held his sword. The truth contained in it showed that Yukari had not yet been diabolically dyed. At that, Miwa believed that he would have a bit of salvation. He didn't want to think that the last seed Isshin grew would sprout like a demon.
The snow was piling up silently.
Miwa was immovable. Yukari, on the other hand, gently raised the tip of her sword and stabbed. The murderous pressure of aiming the cannon burned down Miwa's throat.
Yukari's body sank as fast as falling snow.
That's when the "words" dropped.
The "words" came to Miwa's mind, as if the white feathers were gently falling. He could not understand the meaning of this feeling that he had experienced many times since his childhood. It was more important for Miwa to put those "words" together than to think about it.
Yukari, who was facing time, clearly felt Miwa's change.
The taut tension was gone in an instant, leaving Miwa's body full of hollows behind it. It seemed easier to pierce and cut it than to hit the vegetation.
However, Yukari's sword did not move.
He seemed like it was full of gaps. He should be hit at any time. He couldn't do that.
Before he knew it, Yukari's breathing was shallow and rapid. Although he still hadn't moved his fingertips, the sweat that broke out wet his body. Yukari's body was already prepared for defeat, although he felt no murder, no pressure, no breeze.
He didn't understand the meaning.
However, he was strictly in front of him.
With his sweaty hands, he gripped the handle of the wooden sword again and Mishakuji consolidated his resolve. At least one sword. He couldn't lose until he saw the beauty of Hase's words. With so much thought, Yukari tried to kick the ground.
Unexpectedly Miwa spoke a sentence.
"One bite, heart and soul."
The snow was piling up silently.
When did he put his knee in the snow? Yukari didn't remember.
A wooden sword slid from his palm, tears welled up in both eyes, and the snow on the ground melted. Ashamed of that, Yukari covered his face with both hands.
A shadow was projected on him.
When he looked up, Miwa was holding an umbrella towards him. He didn't think he would face his sword, with a soft smile.
His head was in a mess and his heart was out of coordination. Still, Yukari barely squeezed his voice out.
"This is the first time I have been defeated with words."
"Yes."
Miwa nodded silently. Neither proud nor humble, just as he was.
"Yukari. If you're okay, why don't you come home?"
"……"
Yukari turned around, because he ignored his actions. Suddenly, he tried to cut off Miwa who was living quietly. He couldn't tell if he could accept Miwa's proposal.
But…
"I want you to tell me about your heart."
That said, Yukari was impressed.
He wants to talk to this beautiful person about him. That thought swelled in his heart. How do this person's words describe Hase, the person who showed him something beautiful for the first time? The feeling was as strong as the urge to see Miwa's sword technique.
"I'll tell you how that person lived."
How did he laugh, cry, eat, drink and fight Isshin Hase? He wanted this person to tell him how beautiful the last brilliance of that life was.
"Come on."
Yukari nodded and stood up.
Then they got into the same umbrella and walked down the snowy road.

Close to you (1/7)
Hi everyone! Happy SeiUsa Week 2021! Please enjoy this seven-chapter installment in celebration of the ultimate OTP!
~~~
Everyone walks on To meet just one person someday
---
“Boo! You suck!”
Seiya ducked to the side to avoid an oncoming empty beer bottle flying his way, shattering as it hit the stage floor. He scowled as he grabbed the microphone with the other hand still on his guitar neck.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?”
“Get off the stage!” Another bottle started flying, this time in between him and the second guitar player, Yaten.
The bar owner soon sprinted toward the musicians and on the stage, trying to avoid various other objects projecting through the air in the meantime.
“Guys, you got any other songs to play?”
Taiki, who was standing in the back at a keyboard, walked up to join the conversation. “What other songs? This is all we know.” He explained while kicking off a half-eaten chicken wing that landed on his shoe.
“You play the same set every night. They want something fresh.”
“Well, maybe you need to get more patrons instead of the same ones every night,” Yaten growled with a lime green twitchy eye. “It’s not our fault your regulars live here.”
“Listen,” the owner paused to grimace in figurative pain as he felt something wet hit his back. “You need to mix it up.”
“We can’t,” Seiya replied firmly. “We need to play these songs.”
“Then pack it up. The show’s over.”
Yaten released his guitar in order to gesture to drive his point across, letting it hang on his neck. “No! You need to let us play!”
“Not a chance, Napoleon. You’ll drive away my tenants!” The owner glared.
That was it—and not that it usually took very much anyway—Yaten was over the edge. He lifted the strap over his head and tossed his instrument to Taiki before tackling the owner to the stage floor with his standard flying squirrel technique.
“Yaten, what the fuck?!” Seiya removed his guitar and went to work trying to pry his bandmate from atop the owner, or at least he tried; Yaten had the grip strength of a coconut crab despite being the smallest of the three of them.
But that was all the patrons needed as a reason to get in on the action. They stormed the stage with their rage and beer bottles ready, even turning on one another and the instruments. Some who didn’t choose violence for a Tuesday night contacted authorities on their crystal cell phones as they made their exit; the other portion used them to record the melee from their tables.
Seiya soon felt the weight of three men come at him at all sides; his only instinct to protect his head before the four-person clump of testosterone toppled two feet down and off the stage. Immediately, he felt a pain shoot from his knee all the way up to his hip as something heavy and drunk landed on his leg. Seiya wriggled and scooted as much as possible to free himself, but since his body was the one that absorbed most of the impact, the attacking men had the advantage to quickly begin their beatdown.
He managed to curl up in the fetal position as feet and fists made contact with every part of his exposed body. But then, allowing himself to only feel like a failure for a few seconds, he made a quick decision and reached within his jacket for his headset.
“Fighter Star Power, Make Up!”
As the transformation alone knocked the three men on their backs, their world was forever rocked when they looked upon a leather-clad woman standing in place of the male musician once the music and sparkles had faded.
“He’s a guardian?!” One yelled, completely stupefied.
Sailor Star Fighter cocked an eyebrow as she smirked, her Star Yell ready in hand.
“Remind me again: what do you think of my songs?”
By then, three police officers had come through the entrance. Their hands floated above their holstered guns on their hips as they were visibly surprised and uneasy.
“Guardian! Put your weapon down!”
“It’s the cops! Run!” A voice shouted. The chaos simply transformed from scuffle to stampede as people began to book it for any exit they could find.
The authorities were soon knocked down from the rush, however one was able to take out her radio and plead into it, “Ten-seventy-five! We need guardians! Get us guardians!” until it was kicked out of her hand from an escaping patron.
Taiki and Yaten came up behind Star Fighter—donning a few scratches, cuts, and tousled hair—all the while still moving pretty well.
“Seiya, you dumbfuck, why’d you transform?” Yaten chastised.
“I’m the dumbfuck?” Fighter gave her crazy eyes. “They were going to kill me!” For a split second, she forgot about her leg and put weight on it while yelling back. However, the appendage was quick to remind her that something was wrong. She winced and seethed in a breath as she fell on Taiki for support.
“Let’s get out of here,” Taiki suggested calmly as he wrapped Fighter’s arm around his neck. Yaten followed suit on the other side.
They only had to contend with navigating through a few scattered stragglers before the three made their way toward the emergency exit by the stage. Taiki kicked the door open only to be met with two obstacles standing in their way, both clad in Milky Way guardian uniforms. One was in a dark blue and yellow color combination with short blonde hair, the other in dark blue and teal with medium-length teal hair.
“Not so fast.”
---
Seiya sighed as he dropped his head on the headrest in the backseat of the police car. The authorities were escorting him from a hospital where his wounds were attended to, and he was now alone. Or rather, separated from Taiki and Yaten. His only company was the two guardians from the bar—whom he was squished in between—and a uniformed officer at the wheel.
He cleared his throat to get attention from anyone. “What did you do with my friends?”
“They’re at a detention center.” The blonde guardian answered, void of emotion, keeping her focus out the window.
“A detention center? Why?”
“Because they’re here illegally. You all are. You should be there, too.”
Fuck, that’s not good. That’s not good at all… But it still didn’t explain… “So where are you taking me then?”
“The queen would like an audience with you.” The teal-headed one answered while busy on her crystal smartphone, having removed a glove for her screen to sense the natural heat of her thumb. A half-filled plastic grocery bag also sat on her lap.
“The queen?” Seiya tried to use his hands to emphasize his confusion, however, his handcuffs clanked in protest. “What does she want with me?”
“It doesn’t matter what she wants—she calls, you come.” The blonde turned her head to look at him with stern blue eyes.
He knew there was no use prying anymore. The blonde had already knocked him around a few times before getting to the hospital, so he knew he risked further physical punishment if he did so. Any other day he would find the pain worth it if it meant annoying her, but his body was already unbearably sore in places he didn’t realize he had.
Meeting with the queen also had him a bit concerned for his well-being. He figured it had something to do with being a guardian, but what exactly does she plan to do with him and that information? He had heard she was a kind and just ruler, albeit young, but from his years of intergalactic travel before ending up in Crystal Tokyo, it could very well be propaganda.
He guessed he was about to find out.
Once the car made it to the bridge that led to the palace, one needed two hands to count all the checkpoints. The palace seemed to be built specifically to reflect the moonlight, producing a daytime-like glow once they were on royal grounds. However, the car parked in front of an inconspicuous building behind a row of trees a couple of minutes shy of the actual palace, and then the blonde dragged Seiya out of the vehicle by his handcuff chains, causing his shiny black cane to drop on the ground. Diagnosed with a temporary disability from his hurt leg, the doctors issued the walking aid to help with his mobility for the next couple of weeks, but the blonde didn't care.
“Haruka, be gentle.” The teal-headed guardian chided.
“Why?”
“You know how handcuffs can hurt if you’re too rough.”
“And you will know, too… once we’re done tonight.”
Seiya raised an eyebrow, wondering if they knew their whispering wasn’t really whispering; he even caught the driver looking back with a nosy eye. Feeling a sense of dread of being transported to a second location, he limped along slowly, following the driver inside the building while trailed by the guardians.
He was led to a room that was comfortably simple and aesthetically feminine—its motif included ribbons, swirls, and florals in a combination of white and pink colors. And a small white round table sat in the middle of the space with four plush boudoir chairs surrounding it. Seiya even picked up on the scent of stargazer lilies before he noticed them sitting on a side table by the door.
But apparently, there was no time to take in his surroundings as he felt a shove on his back, forcing him to keep his balance with his bad leg. He turned around to glare at the blonde guardian.
“Hurry up!” She pointed inside the room with irritation emanating from her whole body. “The queen is on her way!”
Seiya grumbled and hobbled over to take his place in a chair, releasing a tired sigh. All he wanted was to get this over with and back to his mission. He hated how his only hope rested within the hands of the queen; it made him feel helpless and idle.
It wasn’t much later when he heard the front door of the building open, followed by both guardians bowing on the other side of the threshold at an unseen presence. Assuming the queen herself had arrived, Seiya pulled himself to his feet with the aid of his cane and the table.
"Uranus! Neptune!"
“Neo-Queen Serenity.”

I wonder would a Crisis/Spiderverse type Event happen for Saint Seiya? I mean that all universes and it’s habitants join forces against an evil that want to kill them all? I mean there’s only a story involving the multiverse, the one shot where Shoko (Saintia Sho), Tenma (TLC) and Shura (Episode G Assassin) interacted and battled. But yeah I wonder what you think about a Multiversal event in Saint Seiya?
A multiversal event in Saint Seiya, realistically, would be a total disaster. They will try to kill each other, or at least punch each other in the face. 
As much as I want to imagine the perfect alliance between them, it’s not going to happen. Too many powerful people in one place with many conflicting personalities and motives can only spell disaster. 
I mean, some of them would try to cooperate, and others would work  really well together, but so many of them would just start beating each other in the dirt. 
Someone’s going to try to throttle the traitor Saints, that’s a given. Someone else is going to try and stop them. A few would just argue whether or not some actions are better than others. 
There’s screaming in the distance, because Hakurei punched Saga in the face for what he did to Shion in his universe. Somehow, there’s three different versions of Shion and Dohko. 
Chaos is inevitable. 
Yeah, I don’t think it’s a good idea. 
Not counting the fact that, in the eventuality this multiverse thing also involves warriors that are not Saints (Specter, Marina, etc...), things would be even worse. 
It wouldn’t even be something Spiderverse-like, at least there are more different characters there. Here, though... if you take Classic, Lost Canvas and Next Dimension as different universes (even if they could technically not be) it’s literally three different versions of Shion and Dohko. 
If you take Classic and Saintia Sho alone, it’s already two different versions of every Gold Saint, and if you add Next Dimension and Episode G it gets even worse (again, some of these might not be different universes because travelling back in time and all those shenanigans). 
Same goes for many other characters. 
It would be a mess. A total, unresolvable mess. 
But probably fun to watch.

Hyoga headcanons maybe? c:
Ahh yes my other kid. In no particular order, and it's long so strap in...
-Hyoga could only say/understand when people asked for his name/ hi my name is, in Japanese because that's all his mom had taught him.
-Other than that he really didn't understand Japanese so he was more quiet than he would have been if he could speak the language.
-Hyoga is the second bronze boy who learned to burn Cosmos after Ikki. -At the orphanage he would get in trouble for speaking/writing in Russian but they wouldn't teach him Japanese because he should have known it by now, but he did pick up how to speak it more as he grew up.
-He would attend mass but was given dirty looks for being blonde.
-Shun and Seiya would try to be friend him but he would stare at them with a harsh gaze until they left him alone.
-As soon as he meet the man who adopted him, he knew that there was a different motivation to him.
-He used to hate Saori for not only getting to abuse them, but because her grandfather shows her love that of a parent and he misses that.
-The only time Hyoga ever raised a hand against her is when she tried to take his mother's cross from him, but of course was beaten for it.
-He was also bullied for his blonde hair and Asian eye shape, but in his limited speech Hyoga said the meanest stuff to people.
-Jabu is the worst offender, but by the time Hyoga left to Siberia again that kid lost all of his confidence.
-Hyoga really geared his training for swimming endurance and had a plan to run away to Siberia when he would be sent off to train.
-He actually had no plans to ever return to Japan.
-The first time he meets Isaac and Camus he is overwhelmed by how Isaac is nice to him. That and finally meeting other people who could speak Russian like he can.
-Camus taught the boys how to speak Greek and also taught them French swear words by accident, but Hyoga doesn't cuss.
-Hyoga would try to go to church on Sunday's when they would get the day off but wasn't allowed inside the building.
-He would also make those self deprecating jokes but Isaac would be quick to say "I don't think so" or "Hey be nicer to yourself making mistakes is part of learning", and Hyoga would brush it off.
-So Hyoga dosen't have a sweet tooth like Isaac but he always loved when they would share stolen sweets together, cause it ment more that he remembers him.
-They once almost had a pet polar bear but Camus was quick to tell the boys no.
-Swans used to hang around the two boys during training but stopped coming by when Isaac was gone.
-Actually let's talk about my strange head cannon that Hyoga and Isaac switched fates.
-So when Hyoga and his mom first sailed to Japan the ship they were on was a cargo ship selling Caviar. Hyoga's mom was sent to Siberia for being a teen mom and dishonoring the family name.
-The only thing have value she got to keep was the dress she had, her pink coat and of course the Rosary on her person. This is important as I believe Poseidon only picks noble blood to be Generals in his army.
-As the boat traveled the Kraken felt Hyoga's Cosmo as his scale owner and attacked the ship to try to take him to Atlantis. It was going to let all of the other passengers make it to land.
-Hyoga's mom sacrificed her self because the kraken would only let Hyoga go if she would, because on ships Women and Children have top priorities to life boats.
-In Awaking the spirits of the Siberian sea noted that Hyoga and Isaac would have a tragedy befall them, and Isaac himself wonders why the Kraken showed up after Hyoga makes it to their training ground. So I assume that it followed him when it sense his Cosmos again.
-Then for a while Hyoga and Isaac couldn't break the ice to enter the sea so the sea beast couldn't get to him at least not until Hyoga went to see his mother. That's why the Sea currents happened twice in quick secession on that day.
-When Isaac went to save him and got swept up in the current both of them were on their hands in knees begging for the other to get rescued. That's why the Kraken saved Isaac's life as he drifted farther into the sea.
-The Cygnus cloth also saved Hyoga by blasting the extra current of air to get him back up on land. This is also a move in Awaking when the Gold Hyoga character gives an ally the Northern cross boast. This is my only evidence for this but even still, I think it adds a nice bit of angst.
-Stealing some stuff from G Assassin, Hyoga and Isaac are brothers except in blood and he still thinks of himself like that.
-He used to tell Camus and Isaac that they were wasting their time with him because A he's a bit slower than Isasc and B he only plans to train to survive swimming to his Momma ship.
-That cliff that we see Hyoga jump into at the beginning of episode 3 is made from the hole Issac punched when he saved his life. Camus froze the edges as a memorial to the other kid.
-For the first few months after they lost Isaac, Hyoga would lie next to the hole and stick his hand onto the water below. Even when the ice would pile on top of him and when the tips of his fingers stopped brushing up against the water he would just stay there.
-Of course Camus stopped going to Sanctuary after Isaac too, half from grief and half from making sure Hyoga wouldn't do anything rash if you get what I'm putting down.
-Hyoga was sent to kill the other bronze kids because Sanctuary thought Ikki was dead and they only knew about the torment from Seiya.
-At the tournament he got a mad crush on Shun cause if you watch those episodes again he was gawking at the boy, like wow he's so pretty.
-Hyoga is also the only other saint besides Ikki who has killed before.
-When the go deal with Ikki and his bullshit Hyoga is determined to be the one to end it because he knows how Shun will feel having to kill his brother, because as far as he knew Hyoga killed his.
-Also he taught Shun and the others how to pray as he made the funeral for Ikki when they beat him in combat.
-Hyoga and Miho start a bible study together as Hyoga isn't allowed to be in mass for being a saint of Athena and of course blonde.
-Next to Dohko Hyoga knows more about mythologies than the other bronze kids as Issac and Camus would tell him the stories to help him sleep as he has nightmares alot.
-Hyoga is also Abstinent, so Shun only gets to hold his hand and maybe one or two kisses.
-He only learned how to drive a car because Camus was in charge of bringing the near by Village their Rations and, Issac and Hyoga couldn't carry all of the supplies back. But like what were these two going to crash into anyways.
-The last one I can think about is how much Hyoga conducts himself to be what he thought Isaac would be like as a saint, and only when he starts being more himself is when he defeats his opponents.
(Edit because I just woke up)
-Hyoga made the Aura Thunder Attack to deal with the water currents and that’s why Judo (Black Swan didn’t know the move)
