I thought to myself “I won’t hear the end of it if I draw Mia for the anniversary. I already drew Felix and Mia for the zine, might as well draw Isaac since it is his day and all that.”

It kind of looks like "handsome squidward" from that one episode of spongebob where squidward gets his face smashed.

I would like to be optimistic and hope that they had something cool planned out, but honestly I think the reveal of Dark Adepts and Dark Psynergy was just supposed to be an exciting twist. Unnecessary, in my opinion! Just exploring the fallout from the Golden Sun would have been interesting, or even the introduction of an ancient doomsday machine that utilized one of the other elements. How Lemuria dealt with the new age! The rebuilding of Prox! And in DD as is, there

are a ton of other things that could be covered, like why the world has ruptured into a ton of different levels and what the heck is up with the Psynergy vortexes.

I've seen people talk about how the Apollo Lens, a weapon of concentrated light, could be potentially be dangerous if used for other purposes than shutting down Eclipse Tower, so if they go "Light is not inherently good", they could build off that.

Every element was dangerous and none were inherently good or evil in the original games, and it’d be an improvement if they framed light and dark that way, but they’d have to debunk ‘light is inherently holy, and in its absence, darkness is inherently evil’ after it was reinforced by Isaac, Kraden, Himi, and all kinds of little details like the NPC in Morgal who mentioned something along the lines of how they were a mean person and the eclipse monsters seemed to be avoiding them. #.#

That’d be... Karis.

1: sexuality headcanon - bibibi.

2: otp - Sveta. Also okay with Tyrell, but Sveta’s better.

3: brotp - Matthew.

4: notp - Matthew and Amiti. Matthew mostly bc I’ve know a lot of annoying Dawnshippers, Amiti because I’m baffled by how popular that was right after the game came out.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head - She wanted to be able to Mind Read before she realised what a burden it was on her father.

6: one way in which I relate to this character - I’m also kinda bossy tbh.

That would be be the best thing ever! 

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

1: sexuality headcanon - She’s very bi.

2: otp - Jeanne, of course.

3: brotp - Also Jeanne, but excluding her I’d go with Luka.

4: notp - I’ve seen other people shipping her with Luka and Loki and NOPE, especially Loki.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head - The only thing that’s really popping into my head is “SHE AND JEANNE ARE MARRIED”.

6: one way in which I relate to this character - I’m also pretty good with kids despite being annoyed with them a lot.

The (implied?) massacre caused by the eclipse really disturbed me when I first played the game. And I agree with you that the light/dark dichotomy is weird and forced, especially after the first two games.

Like, the introduction of dark Adepts (and presumably they have light counterparts) was never explained. What sort of powers even go with darkness? If it's related to cold, is Mercury more aligned with it? And, come on, dark Adepts might as well just be introduced as evil Adepts.

I mean I've seen speculation that part 4 would subvert our expectations of light and dark, which I could buy. Though, we may never know...

Gotta hope they make it less heavyhanded somehow, bc ‘dark is evil’ and ‘these are dark adepts’ is just... yeah. It’s hard to see how they could build anything fun off of that massacre without retconning something.
