The Best Lions

The best lions

Goldie and blondie for the opinion bingo

Character Ask Meme

Hands down, the best kids anyone can ask for. Yes. Whilst I don't think they done that dirty by the fans but I love to see more works of them with Kaiser, they are literally can't be separated. Same with "wasted potential" because if there is an announcement of a spinoff of Goldie and Blondie with Kaiser and other goldies (lmao) in the Sanctuary in a almost slice of life setting, I would watch it on stream when it will first come out. Whilst I think their relationship could be similar like a guide/service dog relation with their owner but lions, they care of Kaiser as well as Kaiser also take care of them and nurture them, and training them in case if he dies, they can survive on their own and they live well as if they are his children. Their designs are e p i c and striking in an excellent way. Ready for battle, and ready to protect as well. Also they like DT and don't worry they don't eat him when he is at peach mode. Kaiser: He is not food, he is a friend of ours Goldie and Blondie: :( (at the potential food and that denial, you know)

Part 2 of the names ideas ask

Part 2: The only 12 angels inspires their destroyer's names idea Context from @bloghyperfixes ask: I think if there were only 12 angels here. (Sorry, it's just that these dudes are already named like basic alcoholic beverages.)

The name Vados? - It's vodka. And the gods of destruction under its tutelage are called by names derived from the brand of vodka. (Arak, Maotai, Schnapps, Enzian)

(If, for example, Mojito doesn't have separate types and names for such a cocktail, its gods could be called by the names of the altered ingredients).

But And as it seems to me, then All-King Zeno will change the gods' name game so all they don't get even more confusing.

If there were only 12 angels due to Daishinkan's will, the names would be broad for sure to help the idea that the angels' students/future destroyers can be named after the teachers they trained under, hence it would be easier to tell which destroyers belong which angel.

I do love that idea and in some alternative universe/dimension, this can be possible.

The question is if Vados is named Vodka or a pun name of Vodka in this AU, does that mean Champa himself can be named after a type of vodka or a brand, maybe likely he would be called Maotai. Not a direct link because the Chinese word for cat (which Champa is a kitty) is 猫 (mao in the first tone) and Mao in Maotai is 茅 (mao in the second tone) but maybe Vodka (Vados) would think of that for her destroyer before the naming ritual.

Also variation of basic alcoholic drinks could work in this idea, for example with Martinu, there is dry (martini), sweet (martini), perfect (martini) and wet (martini) and even dirty (martini), which I think Martinu would name her destroyer after those variations because it's funny but considering the existing example with her and Giin/Geene, that one is perfect because Gin is a ingredient/base to a Martini. Context about the existing example

Lol Mojito would have a fun time, naming them after altered ingredients as he thinks his destroyers are not worthy to have an alcoholic drink name (so he didn't name any destroyer after rum, rum is the main alcohol for a traditional mojito).

That's right, Grand Zeno would do that, they want to have some fun after all.

Ship bingo

Aiolos/Seiya

If they had a ship name, it would be RosSei (which sounds nice and almost sounds like rosé) and maybe they would name one of their kids as Rosé, after naming rest of their kids, Seika, Patricia and Thena (inspired by their role models, Seika and their goddess they serve, Athena) I feel they are on their way being friends/buddy/homie to lovers pipeline but they are comfortable where they are and might not want to move the next step, and whatever arrangement works well best for them, they accept. Both have a very strong homie relationship and it is sad in canon and spinoffs that they are separated by death, one is alive and one is dead but that does not stop them of having a strong mythological and zodiac connection together and having similar ideals and mindsets which that is why I see them getting along so well.

Sorry about the angst but seeing the ND ending....that final page you know had me thinking, maybe Aioros had some guilt for guiding Seiya through that and how things played out, and he would definitely take responbility and encourage Seiya to keep going. Seiya would definitely see Aioros as a pillar he can lean on before he can fight again and could open himself more being both as Sagittarius. From Aioros' side, considering Seiya is not a stranger compared to the bronzes and trusted him to wear his cloth and there is pain compared to his relations with the other gold saints because they have grown up without him being around and he missed out a lot that make him feels a outsider. His relation with Seiya make him feel less out of an outsider, more human (with sometimes some role model figure conflict). I wish that Aioros as a spirit visited Seiya when he is on wheelchair, speaking to him about anything, his story, holding his hand, waiting for Athena to come back.

Kiki for the bingo!

Character Ask Meme Kiki from the classic Saint Seiya of 1986 and Saint Seiya Omega, loving all Kikis. Kiki can handle my issues, on top with his issues like a champ and almost at a breaking point soon, ooops. Personally Kiki can work well alone but isolation would not do him well so he deserves a person who give him a good company and improve his mental health slightly. He is a good father to Raki and Raki loves him, their relationship is sweet.

time to spam u :3c

Ship meme: AldeMu

Here’s a little doodle of them I made because I wanted to draw something and there is a first time to everything. I wanted to do something special for them since they are your OTP so I will give it a shot why I love AldeMu with an attempted visual below

Squick / Just nope / A trainwreck you can’t look away from / Mehh but they are bloody everywhere / Not interested but no negative feelings / I need to see how I could make it work / BroTP / Cute / I love them / They rented a room in my mind and are here to stay

An attempt of an AldeMu essay :3

It is surprising, more ground breaking than when baby Athena arrived at Earth and the reaction to that was a battle and a goldie’s death, that a cute, actively supportive relationship of Mu and Aldebaran thrived and blossomed in spite of the tensions within the Sanctuary, Mu being a handsome traitor to the Sanctuary and a upcoming holy war, oh my. Their relation is down to earth, relatively chill and interestingly I say it is more rooted in reality compared to most ships. This is because of the Sanctuary being less as a factor, a component of their relationship, if the sanctuary was no more tomorrow, both can adapt quickly to the society and take less time to adjust. I would say that the Sanctuary during the 13 years in a way separated them because Mu was in Jamir in his isolation and Aldebaran could not freely visit him. Hence that could explain partly their detachment from the Sanctuary before Athena took over. I could imagine some sneak around and the rare times Mu visited the Sanctuary, both worked hard to nurture their relationship and it worked. 

Canonically, in every Sanctuary arc, Aldebaran trusted Mu’s judgement of the bronzes when they entered the Taurus temple that prompted Alde to see these bronzes had potential and he wanted to witness that considering the bronzes’ goal is to get through the twelve temples and their opponents are the gold saints who will stop the bronzes are crazy powerful. So Mu and Alde had a similar idea of prioritising and empathising the seventh sense to the bronzes that did help them winning the Sanctuary war and knocked a Pope down hahaha. 

(Mu: That’s karma, kill a Pope, you die as one.)

Something about AldeMu that make me root for them perhaps it’s the friends to lovers (which is not majority of my ships, but some are), it’s more like both compliment each other, why not see if they are awesome as lovers which is a cool exploration, both are chill even when exchanging banter together (most of the time, Mu still got his unhinged side and Alde is like “that’s cool, honey” and only really intervene if Mu was in actual danger).

When I was writing this answer, I got thinking, and I think too hard but for a good reason, as I thought something I never thought of before. One of the reasons I ship them, them being happy defies the expectations placed upon them in their world. I like a bit of defying/making your destiny/decision aspect (as there is a power of making decisions which both have done to be together and worked hard for it). Mu being away and isolated in a way mirrors Shion’s fate of being isolated and alone in the Sanctuary which is rough for both of them, especially for Shion because it is been centuries and he had to built an army and for Mu, after Shion dies when he was 7, an young age he isolate himself up to his late teenage years which affects and stays in his psyche. That impact is still there but Mu and to some extent to the people he cultivates his friendships and other relations, navigate around that, his closest relation who he has been on his side the most, literally and metaphorically is Aldebaran in the classics and spinoffs. 

Aldebaran in canon wise, being portrayed and in comparison to the rest of the goldies as not as visible considering he plays not a big role in the Sanctuary in the 13 years (mostly he wasn’t seen or even implied), was he involved in the Sanctuary politics or did he stay out by his choice or lack of opportunity. However his own self, I like to think is true, that is he is faithful to Athena and keeps his head down and get things working, I headcanon him being a steady pillar, especially if there are times of instability in the Sanctuary, Mu leaned on him and rely on him for information and Alde would make sure to keep Mu safe considering I think he knew death could be ordered like it was for Aioros. That makes him significant, his authenticity and his giving love and mercy, almost he is a model saint but on his own accord and stand. That is Mu slowly fell for him and chose him because of his soft power and restored his faith in humanity and tried to do some good before the holy war took him.

Hades' arc is so heartbreaking, especially Alde’s death and Mu grieving for him in tears. 

Ah I cannot forget the important part of this awesome ship, both AldeMu and Kiki form a family unit, stable, strong and loving and multilingual lmao. Mu and Alde’s nurturing side in raising Kiki really shines and makes his life happy unlike their own childhoods. I often deny canon that I don’t acknowledge Mu and Alde’s death, but they are still around in Saint Seiya Omega, them being grandfathers to Raki and giving Harbinger a hard time haha. 

I have to thank CGI KOTZ for AldeMu wedding imagery when they are standing in front of the structure that looks like a church that we didn’t expect but needed, then after they got married they did the funeral/burial of Shion’s body and their fallen comrades. I have to thank AldeMu server for enabling me as always xD I thank every AldeMu authors and artists for creating fanfics, fanarts, events, doujinshi and headcanons for existing, inspiring and giving love every way to this ship.
