Gold Saints : where would they take you on a date ?

Aries Mu : in a quiet place in the nature. After a long walk in the mountains you'll sit in the grass in front of a cascade, next to a little water point.

Taurus Aldebaran : he will bring you to a football match, but if you don't like it you'll leave and walk around in the city.

Gemini Saga : in an arts museum. You won't need a guide because he'll all explain to you about artists and their creation. In the end he'll take you to a very sophisticated restaurant.

Cancer Deathmask : in a pub, but more a romantic one as a lounge. He will bring you flowers and chocolates.

Leo Aiolia : in a zoo. Roar.

Virgo Shaka : in a huge garden where there are topiaries and beds of flower. You'll just stay there and enjoy the moment together.

Libra Dohko : in a place with lots of people as a market or a party, somewhere where you can have fun.

Scorpio Milo : on the beach, you'll walk around feet in the water, hands together.

Sagittarius Aiolos : in a fun fair. He'll win for you a big teddy bear.

Capricorn Shura : you'll go horse riding. After you'll watch the horses in the meadow and speak about nature.

Aquarius Camus : you'll go skating. After he'll take you on a cruise, but not on a big boat, more like on the Venice gondola.

Pisces Aphrodite : you'll participate in an workshop where you make perfumes, and he will bring his own flowers for it.

WTF xD

Desenho de quatro dias de duração: Saga de Gêmeos, na posição de Grande Mestre.

[crystalwall]

This man is scary

[crystalwall]

The french dub

It's more messy than in Saga's head.

In the beginning they believed that Shun was a girl so he has a girl voice. After some episodes they realized he's a male.

They did the same with Mu except that he keeps his female voice until the end of Poseidon arc.

After that it would not surprise you that Aphrodite has a female voice too.

In the first episodes they call the Sagittarius Cloth "the Golden Fleece".

Character name pronounciation :

Aiolia is called Aïor (pronounce it a-ee-au-r)

Mu is called : Mu with the "french" u, Mu with the "english" u, or Moooooow. It's like they didn't know how to pronounce it so it was depending on the mood of the day.

Shaina is called "shee-na"

Seiya is called "say-gar"

Shun is called "sean"

Freya transformed into "flamme" (flame), Io into Eo

Not really a problem but they pronounce Isaak like they are lots of s and a very short a, I've never heard french speaking people pronounce it like that outside of Saint Seiya.

Sorrento is called Sorente.

Voice actors are playing all the characters, there is no one actor for one character (except for Seiya and females in general). So it's really a mess especially when it comes to Gold Saints. Sometimes from one episode to another the character's voice has changed that's very confusing.

I would like to thank @elencelebrindal because I read one of your post about italian dub and I believed this mess with voice actors was something only related to french dub.

[crystalwall]

I was speaking with a friend about Saint Seiya Next Dimension and that's really weird. In fact I believed that ND was a kind of alternative universe for the 18th (like another dimension), and I read it several times on forums etc. In my head it was TLC : the actual 18th and ND : 18th alternative because of dimensions time rifts and so on. But my friend told me that it is the actual canon of Saint Seiya for the 18th, and that Lost Canvas is the alternative one.

I did some researches and I learned that both were published the same year. The story is that Mr Kurumada gave the outlines to Ms Teshirogi and said "do what you want". But I really don't understand why if it was to write something else next to it ? Ton be honest I'm uspet because I find TLC so well done especially the Gold Saints, they all have a good backstory.

I considered TLC canon and it's not. It kind of lost me into the Saint Seiya universe. Maybe some of you will clear this up.

[crystalwall]

Happy birthday Selinsa !

[crystalwall]

What if: The LC gold saints come back to life to and they meet 20th century gold saints also see that the world have changed. (I always have that idea btw, And it’s fun to think about it) :)

Aries Shion : technically he knows the 20th century, but let’s think about what his youngself would.

- he would be VERY surprised that his oldself is the Pope. His youngself doesn’t imagine it at all, he tries at least to be a decent Gold Saint and sometimes that’s really hard.

- meeting Mu, knowing it’s his student, would surprised him too because he doesn’t consider himself as a good teacher. But he would be so proud because Mu is a very good Aries Saint (and a good teacher too).

Taurus Rasgado :

- he’s proud that the Taurus Gold Saints keep naming themselves Aldebaran.

- he would really like 20th century Aldebaran

- they would do an arm wrestling and after go barhopping together

Gemini Aspros :

- he wouldn’t like Saga because he has too much integrity, because he’s a nice guy.

- he would certainly try to awake the bad Saga if he comes to know his existence.

- but in a way he would be impressed by what Saga achieved (becoming the Pope and deceive everyone for a long time).

Cancer Manigoldo :

- he would be very upset by the lack of respect of Deathmask, especially for the Pope and Athena. Would curse and yell at him.

- what he hates above all is Death so he would really hate Deathmask who loves it.

Leo Regulus :

- they won’t get along well

- he would consider Aiolia as his big brother but wouldn’t understand why the 20th century Saint rejects him

- eventually Aiolia would become his rolemodel

Virgo Asmita :

- lots of respect between these two.

- they would speak about things like spirituality, being a Gold Saints, doubts.

Libra Dohko :

- he would be amazed that is oldself is still full of spirit

- his oldself would reminds him Rasgado in the way he teaches his student.

Scorpio Kardia :

- he would find Milo too serious, too much of a goody two-shoes

- he would find the usefulness of Scarlet Needle (used for redemption) ridiculous.

- he would certainly try to beat Milo.

Sagittarius Sysiphus :

- he would be seriously amazed by Aiolos, above all by his sacrifice.

- he would be almost self-conscious next to him.

- but he would feel uncomfortable with the behaviour of Aiolos outside of his Gold Saint duties.

Capricorn El Cid :

- he would be satisfied with Shura’s Excalibur, he would congratulate him

- he would be honored by the sense of justice of Shura

- they would play chess together

Aquarius Degel :

- the two Aquarius Saint would get along very well

- they would compare their freezing skills

- he would ask Camus about books of the 19th and 20th century

Pisces Albafica :

- he would hate Aphrodite because of he’s who he is.

- they wouldn’t argue about beauty because Albafica doesn’t care at all, even if Aphrodite tries to.

- he would not fear staying next to Aphrodite and poison him

[synthdroid-archive]

Ok I don’t have the images but if you have them feel free to add them-

Anyway I big brained and realised that  Hyoga and Camus have a scene that parallel each other in the Sanctuary and Hades arc. 

The scene that I’m talking about is the one where Hyoga is almost dead, weak, and defensless while he layed on the floor after getting attacked by Camus at the Libra temple. What does Camus do while he sees Hyoga in this state? He kicks him and uses freezing coffin on him.

Now we move to the Hades arc in the Inferno chapter (i think i may be wrong) and Camus is in a similar position to Hyoga but unlike Camus Hyoga instead tried to help him and hugged him as he thanos snapped away (im so sorry for using that idk what else to call it)

What got my attention in both scenes was the way on originally Camus always insisted on Hyoga leaving his compassion and all other emotions behind in order for him to awaken to the seventh sense. But after both of his encounters with Camus Hyoga still kept his emotions and used them as a motivator throughout the rest of the episodes up until the Hades arc. So during that scene of Hyoga being kind to Camus in the state he was I internally thought of it as Hyoga subtly showing that his compassion towards those he cared about never stopped him or got him killed and instead made him stronger.

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense I’m not really good at writing but if you need me to elaborate more please feel free to ask!

[crystalwall]

I would add that imho Camus rejecting all emotions is because he's overwhelmed by them. And yes Hyoga shows him that you can use emotions for the good without being completely disturbed by them.

And Hyoga completely evolved on this point between the two scenes : in the Sanctuary arc he gives Camus credit because that's why he lose in the Libra temple. And in Hades you can see he has learned a lot particularly after his battle against Isaac (which kind of resolve his trauma, at least partly).

One more time the disciple has surpassed his master.

Visit the Gold Saints houses : Mu and Aldebaran (part I)

Disclaimer : this is not meant to be their real house in the Sanctuary, it’s more a modern version of where they would live, taking into account their personalities.

As there’s a lot of pictures I’ll do this in several parts.

Part I : House and common places

The inspiration is Mu’s house in Jamir, but with the wall covering of Ancient Greek temples.

The octogonal part is the base of the house, while the rectangle is more like an outbuilding. There is a balcony and a garden.

When you enter the house, you find yourself in a large open room, which groups the living room, the dinner room and the kitchen. The light is dimmed and the color scheme around taupe so it gives a very calm and relaxing feeling.

The living room is very colorful. The coffee table’s shape recalls the one of the house. There is a sofa for each Saint, including the little orange one for Kiki.

The round lunch table is very simple, with a tea pot on its center.

Evidently there is a library, and a little zen corner.

The green stairs lead to Mu’s apartments...

The kitchen is sober yet welcoming because of the kitchen islands with their burgundy cushion bar stools. The two windows give light to the breakfast.

This big wooden door leads to Aldebaran’s apartments, which is the outbuilding I talked about earlier.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

I love kids they’re all like.. “when i grow up i’m gonna be an astronaut and a chef and a doctor and an olympic swimmer” like that self confidence! That drive! That optimism! Where does it go

[alexundefined]

It gets destroyed by adults not believing in you and telling you to pick a realistic career. And by society creating all these obstacles to the point that you’re too tired to try.

[thechargrey]

But they’re not really unrealistic, SOMEBODY is going to be an olympic swimmer and it might as well be you.

[thechargrey]

Actually I want to talk about this a little more than I did, because olympic swimming is incredible and works perfectly to talk about attaining goals.

I used to be a varsity swimmer, and I was damn good, but I was forced into it by my parents and completely lost my love for it and therein my drive. But in high school I was swimming against such talented swimmers like Olympic Swimmer Missy Franklin. I’ve met her, and the main difference between her and me was that I was strong but had no passion, but she was strong BECAUSE she had passion. 

And I could have been good, really good, maybe even Olympic good. I even have the predisposition for it, been swimming since I was 2 years old, have a mom who was almost an olympic swimmer. Missy didn’t have either of those things, she just wanted it, loved it, had been doing it for a long time, and decided she was going to kick ass at it.

Right, that’s great and all, but I completely missed my opportunity to be an olympic swimmer, yeah? and can never achieve those dreams I had as a kid? No, not even though. There was this whole thought that female athletes peak when they’re 17 years old and lose their skills quickly after that, and male athletes peak around 19. But then Olympic Swimmer Dara Torres shows up. She was an olympic swimmer when she was 17, 21 and 25. Pretty normal age for retirement. She had a few kids. She kicked butt at being a mom. 

And then at 33 years old she decides she’s bored or something gets back in shape and kicks so much ass at the trials that she lands herself on the Olympic Team ONCE AGAIN. And then 8 years later, she decides, heck I’m 41 now, no one has ever made the olympic swim team as old as I am, I want to get in shape yet again and teach these children how sports work.

And she still has the record for oldest US Olympic Swimmer, not even any men have beat out that record.

So basically what I’m saying is you could be an olympic swimmer, you really could be. And there are obviously a lot of things stopping you and trying to get in your way: your brain, society, too much chocolate cake for example. But if you really dedicate yourself to it and love it with all of your heart you could, you really could.

And lets say olympic swimming isn’t your jam? That’s cool too. There isn’t a single skill in this world that you can’t learn if you absolutely love it and want to. Any skill you want is going to take time. There are countless famous people who started learning a skill after 20, 30, 40, or even 50. Not a single person has even been president under age 35 (most likely because you’re not allowed to be, but there’s a reason for that). Whatever you want to do you’re probably going to be bad at first, and I’m talking really shitty.

Van Gogh got started in his 20′s and was thought to have no artistic talent at first and was forced to sit in the back of classrooms where the worst artists in the class sat. So yeah you’ll probably be bad, like really bad and everyone including you will think you’re bad. If you stick with it though, if you’re willing to work for years and years, if you keep loving it after all the pain it’s given you, 

then you might just paint Starry Night.

[ooksaidthelibrarian]

#looks like there’s still time for me to learn how to draw … YES. As someone who started drawing at 35 and who always was like: ‘eh, I can’t draw a stick figure to save my life, but I would love to be able to’ this is near and dear to my heart. If you want to draw, start drawing. Keep drawing. Be shit at drawing at first. Keep it up, doodle things on scraps but also draw stuff you don’t think you can draw. Challenge yourself, you will be surprised what you can do. It will be frustrating at times, but it will also be awesome. It is SO much a matter of practice and dedication, not talent.

[arialerendeair]

This applies for writing, too.  

Don’t ever think for a second that it doesn’t!  Want to start writing?  Then write!  You will get better the more you write, the more often, and you will improve, all of the time, as long as you dedicate yourself.

[crystalwall]

What if Tatsumi and Kido were very kind to the kids, especially Ikki?

It was also asked by @jennydevic

Honestly I think that if they were very kind, the Bronze would be less prepared for the Saint training. Simply when you see the masters they are not very kind too. They also would be less revolted, especially Ikki !

But after all, Ikki's behaviour is also part of his personnality, it's not only from the fact that they mistreated him so he would be rebel as well. But he would be more warm and less a loner for sure. He would have more confidence in humanity. He wouldn't turn bad and between battle he would stay with the other Bronze Saints. But maybe he would easier fall into Kaça's trap ! Traumatisms are hard to handle but when it becomes a force, like in Ikki's case, you can do so much things.

I also think that if they were very kind they wouldn't send poor little kids to very hard training haha.

[crystalwall]

I thought this was a Mu roleplay blog at first lol

Haha no it isn’t. I don’t really like roleplaying, I mostly write headcanons :)
