True love is not found, it is sculpted :feh_tobinice: : Akihabara explosion roll thread

I swear the problem doesn´t lie with me, it lies with every woman I’ve met. :fgo_derpalot: :feh_felixclown:

-Incredibly Noble, Charming and Exemplary Liege, King Pygmalion.

Hello, my fellow internet denizens and welcome to Akihabara Explosion’s roll thread. I’ll prelude this by saying that yes, this is still a better love story than Twilight.

Now, as an NA-only player, I must admit that everything that will be said here is speculation since I’m not up to date with JP news according to what I filled out in F/GO’s most recent questionnaire, which indubitably contains not a speck of lies. :cattea:

As pop culture would make you believe, Akihabara is associated with otaku culture, which in turn is associated with maid cafes, whose uniforms may or may not include white frills. Marble and ivory are white, which were the primary materials out of which Ancient Greek sculptures were made of (technically Pygmalion was the king of Cyprus, but cool kids always get their history facts wrong. :fgo_mariethuglife:). :fgo_nunglasses:

In conclusion, according to my very profound analysis, it is safe to assume that the next servant to be released will be Galatea, a sculpture from Greek mythology who was brought to life by one of the Twelve Olympians, the goddess (or Titaness according to certain records) of love, Aphrodite.

Yes, the cool auntie with severe nicotine dependence:

Now then folks, here’s an easy math question for y’all. What is the product resulting from combining a smoking hot Goddess, a ton of ivory and one very thirsty and SIMPathetic (symPATHETIC is also a correct way to spell it according to certain scholars) bachelor?

Answer: the antithesis of an organitarian with a very unique sense of style.

Yes, I love the way Riyo drew Galatea, sue me. :fgo_ishtargone:

As to how Paphos and Metharme came to be from the union of Galatea and Pygmalion, you’ll have the ivory stork to thank. :fgo_oryou:

Disclaimer: Please take into consideration that the schedule will change compared to JP since NA was blessed with an early pity system. Then again, RIP for all of you who will try to roll for any SR in the future

OUT OF STOCK? MAKE SURE TO RESUPPLY AND COME AGAIN!
I want to thank everyone that took the time to bear with me and read this post and I wish that everyone who does decide to roll has fruitful results. :catdance:

As an added bonus, I had a small discussion with some of the best fashion designers in the world to determine just what is the functionality of Galatea’s :b: ig pants. Here is a graphic representation that is 100% based on reality:

Til’ next time. :fgo_spaceishtarwink:

I probably won’t roll for Galatea right now (even though she is adorable and her pants are cool), because I don’t think that I’ll get much use out of her at the moment, but I am rolling for Umu Bride since I’m missing her.

Epic Thread. Exquisite mythos coverage and overview of rateup items. :fgo_holmescultured:

Also, this fashion statement of Galatea’s was very much worth the analysis. Imagine having fashion that’s a couple human history millennia ahead of its time. That’s reason #11 folks.

As for me, I’ll dedicate some small amount to this banner. I still got X-Alter copies to look ahead to in the near horizon, but I think that will be enough to pay homage. Some libations for the Emperor and Greek figure of rate up now. :tropical_drink:

Oh, and best of luck to the rollers here. May the winds of luck favor your ends.

I recognize the maids in the background! I think that the one in black is Astolfo, and* the one in blue and white is Chevalier D’Eon from their Agartha maid outfit:

The Moriarty and Mephistopheles CE looks like an episode of Pawn Stars.

Moriarty: “The best I can do is $3.50.” :fgo_moriartysmile:

*Edit: It can’t be Astolfo because the maid in black has what looks like a long, gently waved grey/white pigtail. So now I think that the maid in black is Marie. :fgo_mariethuglife:

A very astute decision, to be sure.

Same, I’ll keep it ticket only for now. Ignore that I’ve saved more than 100 of those by now :feh_tooobin:

I had the same suspicion :fgo_holmescultured:

While the setting is completely different, it gives me Breaking Bad vibes where Moriarty is Heisenberg and Mephisto is Jesse haha. But yeah, a pawn shop fits a lot better in this case.

Still tho, would have been fun to workshop it together. I had a bit planed out where I was going to do that gross meme where incels call girls over 20 years old hags show a pic of her titled age 60 and show a skeleton, but it was going to just swap the anime girls for statues

Summary

EYpBgTiX0AM4WSe

I was also planning to change to a roman statue(confusing roman and greek lore with each other was going to be part of the bit) I was workshiping THE SPICIEST STUPID REVTURN TO TRADIRION TAKES, about stupid nerd shit and make baseless comparisons to fate games I havent played and say they were better

Anyway…

Also, LOVE the Sattou style avatar, no lie, legit a banger. But yea no. Great job in the thread.

I just wanted to like, spill my stupid plans because I had a laugh thinking things up

Summoning Results


First appearance on Ticket # 27!
NP-2 on Ticket # 68!
Super happy! A great result given the circumstances.
:fgo_jeannyes:

Also, lol


As soon as she first appears 3 years later, the spooks start showing up. Good thing I don’t hate her.

No other valuable reports. Got a decent number of Event CEs along the way, but not enough to MLB any more than the 3* one.

Excellent results in the end.

Can I get, uhhh, Galatea in 10 tickets?

Understandable, have a nice day.

Well, I thought about it for a long time, and I finally decided that I didn’t need Galatea with Vladzerker already at NP2.

But then I remembered the words of a wise sage…

It was an incredibly compelling argument.
