wait do you run the archive on tumblr??
One good thing about this event: Lmao, they really made it clear that homophobia just... doesn't exist at all in Terra, huh.
well that tracks with (intentional) misogyny not really seeming to exist
It’s kinda funny how Terra seems to have compensated for this with oripathy discrimination
(ig that’s kind of a form of ableism, but in practice I don’t really think it maps to that super well… ofc I am also not saying it’s like misogyny lol
It’s just discrimination. though interestingly it is tied to race)
Meanwhile racism is just a universal constant everywhere
it's so weird that medicmiya's skill can only be used once per battle but it has initial sp and if you redeploy her she still has some sp... like why
Sorry for doom posting and hating on endfield in advance but I hate how scary it is that they can pull a character I like from ak and take all the life out of them by overly sexualising them (if they’re a women) and somehow under and over designing them at the same time. As well as fucking up their lore (but I lost all hope with the story for endfield in general) Thankfully they haven’t chosen characters I’m too overly attached to but the fact they mentioned warfarin existing meaning shes probably a goner too. Im worried the most about characters like Kroos, Mudrock or Dorothy as design wise I think that fit the most (out of the characters I’m attached too anyway). God ahh I hate the possibility that like saga or exusiai could be there just if they have to choose someone as an ageir-knights payer just please don’t touch a single fish.
And while I know blaming liduke specifically is unfair… man I’m such a liduke hater like most of their ak characters are decent did making it 3d really remove all potential swag (for lack of a better term) they could of had?
I support any and all endfield hating dw
Based on what people are saying they’re like originium copies or something which uhhh
I mean. Okay. now explain why they have the same fucking clothes (but worse)
kind of interesting how ange is the only one with something of a redesign… they literally didn’t try with the other two
If they actually stick to this then maybe they’ll only copy over infected ops… which is still a lot but hey thorns is safe right
(Mudrock though… yeah she’s never getting her armor back………….)
If they were gonna have Liduke do endfield they should’ve imprisoned her there why did they let her out for wisadel damn it
if Anno is Shinji who is Kaworu?
do u own any merch like anime figures?
Did yostar just remove the new years voicelines for everyone? Are they supposed to do that after a certain time after new years passes or is it bc of the untranslated ones… or maybe incompetence
what do you think about a 6* elysium alt
oh my ok im back because im Still head-in-hands-ing like exactly exactly. i really enjoyed how the fic had this thing centred around the idea of “will thorns return to iberia” and the whole thought process that went into it and i adored the ending of thorns basically seeing the world the way ely did before he went aboard rhodes and it made me so darn emotional (then again i shed tears everytime ely was on screen so i think i just cry easily..) absolutely loved the way the fic features so many other operators… the scene with ifrit was good… the whole rosmontis + her squad sequence was good.. reminded me of ely’s oprec like yeah he would do that… the bit with absinthe at the very start calling back to that mini story… augh thank you again for sharing that fic it lives in my head rent free and in my bookmarks now
read the fic u recc’d anon out of curiosity and holy shit idk if it’s just “reading in mother tongue” things but i don’t think i was crying while reading, i was probably reading while crying. good fic destroyed me emotionally realising im not good at grief but also so many little bits of hope/wisdom i should takeaway from it
OMG HI i never actually expect someone to take my recs but yes!!! you get it!!!!
genuinely. that fic is the one thing that’s made me cry the longest… though now ig it’s second to alien stage (??)
Like im serious the first time I read that last scene with aak where thorns finally smiles i couldn’t stop crying for at least two hours. and obviously the last last scene made it worse
and that’s… really not normal for me mffjksf
which uh considering i was doing all that through google translate is a little !,?!?? ah i don’t know. it’s kind of nice that this sort of thing is functional enough that people can communicate like this isn’t it…?
but yea I really love it… the thing that got me so badly is that it’s ultimately hopeful… if it was purely depressing it wouldn’t be nearly as impactful.
and though the focus is on ely and thorns all the other characters there… i really liked ifrit’s part…
ahhh i could go on forever about this fic. thank u for hearing me out 🙏
AO3 Thorns/Elysium is... an experience.
English fics are almost non-existence, meanwhile CN fics do exist and there's a bunch, but because I don't know Chinese I need to use Google Translate to read it and, well... Extreme Realm. You know exactly what I mean with those two words. Thorn/Extreme my true otp /hj
Also kudos to all of these CN Elythorns shippers for being so... horny? Smut is a thing on AO3 in any language, but like... When I checked to see what new porn could there be after the event, I certainly wasn't expecting for the first fic I clicked into to be "What if Thorns used his new metal thingy power to fuck Elysium's cock". I mean, I was indeed curious if/how people were gonna use the 'heart essense' or whatever it is actually called in their Elythorns porn... but Sounding was not on my list...
(why am I even writing this...? maybe I just want someone else to share the "lol wtf" I'm feeling right now? I just wasn't expecting that, that's all. No warning whatsoever in the tags or in the description, that's all...)
it'd be nice if google could actually decide on something consistent for elysium's name like at least stop throwing jijing into there
well that's certainly a literal usage
cn fics are just like gacha you never know what you'll get when you open one
actually i was kind of wondering, since in the story thorns only uses the heart essence to sense where things are (and then attacks with his sword) can it even be used for physical things...?
but his attack animation is him just throwing balls of it so i guess..? if attack animations are even fully canon...
bit of a tangent. really at this point nothing in nsfw fics can surprise me...
with cn fics, i guess they tend to be more... well, extreme-- since they can post the more normal ones on their usual sites. then for this they gotta pull out the vpn lol
kinda funny how the 2nd and 3rd most common languages on ao3 are of the countries that have ao3 banned. life finds a way
OH RIGHT hey if you're willing to read chinese arknights fics have you read the best one. because you should. https://archiveofourown.org/works/29218203
(extremely suspiciously) or if you want to 'read' it you can dm me-- lol
(damn it's been a while since i've shilled this... it's still so good tho..)
have you seen thorns alter in game description for his outfits its unique text :o
have u seen the drones? wat do u tink of it?
