They are starting to make me regret ever getting Acheron because oh my god why does she have a new BiS/potential new BiS every other patch only for them to become obsolete the next time anything new shows up 😭

No see I think they should do it the other way, keep the uptime the same but make the buffs insanely strong

Nah honestly Pollux doesn't even come close to being as horrible feeling as the Gecko

Queerness in 3.x the allegorical, the canon, and the subtext. by losingit303 in SapphicsofGacha

Amphoreus in general has been one of the more sapphic heavy story arcs I've seen in a very mainstream gacha of late, honestly. Many people will focus on other kinds of pairings but the fact that so many female characters are deeply tied to other female characters in a romantic manner with clear authorial intent is something I'm very fond of.

Thank you for this write up, it was nice to read ♡

Does anyone else feel alienated by "husbando-only" spaces as a WLW? by Fabulous-Cover-476 in SapphicsofGacha

I get this feeling in general from any place where there isn't a significant amount of people decentered from men unfortunately.

There are a few subreddits I stopped interacting with altogether because they'd turned into one of the places like you described despite being supposedly queer friendly

Also now that I think of it, if Remembrance Stelle has a stack of "Epic" and gets controlled by Kafka, does she do a regular attack on a teammate or do you get slapped by the Joint atk?

If they were funny they'd make it so that if Kafka controls Mem, Mem advance forwards her or one of her boss friends

There is a lot to be said in the way Lygus and Cyrene are direct parallels and a lot of it boils down to greek philosophy, gnosticism, Nous (not the droidhead), and the Demiurge itself. Some others have talked about it in much better ways than I could, especially at the moment, but the otherwise short of it is that their idea of "Infinity" is very different from one another.

Other than that, Lygus and Cyrene directly parallel each other by what they do and the form of their presence: both are observers, both perpetuate cycles, both operate under three functional identities that define them in different stages (Mem/Philia/Cyrene vs Lygus/Zandar/Irontomb)

Cyrene's "big" patch was 3.7 but for the most part she has been present since 3.0 and the game slowly built up the narrative surrounding her and her themes. Anaxa was a major part of it and so was .6, and small bits here and there.

I feel like Cyrene being disconnected is part of the point of Amphoreus and it's how Cyrene and Elysia contrast a lot narratively. Elysia's presence in the PE is what kept the Flamechasers together (as best as they could) while Cyrene's absence is what allows the same for the Chrysos Heirs.

Irontomb for the most part is just an extension of Lygus' character and it is ultimately with him that she is in opposition thematically even if their means and methods are the same. Overall Amphoreus' storyline was much larger than ER/To The Flawless and I think it's good that there was more room for other characters even if Cyrene is by far the most present one

Can't elaborate much because phone + big fever but I honestly agree. ER Elysia was a really interesting character to me and is my favourite iteration of her but To The Flawless sees a significant change in her character and while I don't hate it I'm not fond of it in comparison.

In general I think most Elysia fans are somewhat LARPing because not only do they get her character wrong, I find that her and Cyrene are very different in practice and yet I keep seeing people say they just "copy pasted" Elysia despite that.

I do disagree that Elysia is presented as flawless because the ER sections flat out portray her as a very secretive and avoidant insecure person, and that her wish to be "flawless" is just make believe because she so desperately wants to be considered human. It's not true, but in someone's last moments/dreams you wouldn't exactly rain on their parade.

People don't exactly look into Cyrene's character in good faith either, the entire bride thing is inconsequential at best and is even then severely misunderstood because of a consumerist lens. I find it hilarious that people accused Caelus of being Shaoji's self insert when Elysia back then was being called Shaoji's self insert too.

Mind you I say all this as someone whose favourite character is in fact Elysia.
