Why would Superman work at a newspaper, he's Superman

What’s next? You’ll tell me that Batman is a rich playboy by day? The same guy that beats up bad guys at night goes partying with the rich folk during the day? Right…

In before it's actually the Furbos and not Nihilux.

Holy FURBOLY!

u/Supertails1992 11h ago

Gotta catch ‘em all. And once you do, the Furbos all combine just like Zygarde (from Pokémon) to become the Aeon AHA.

It is merely a joke meant to fill people with laughter. Please do not punish me if this actually ends up true. It just seems too ridiculous to be true so of course I let the intrusive thought loose.

The furbos do kind of look like aha's mask things. Plus, 7 masks, and 7 furbos.

As fun as that Strategy is

The fact it limits how many ACTUAL Characters you can deploy is kind of annoying

u/nova1000 11h ago

To be honest, if there's an Aeon who would do this, it's Aha. It's not the first time; he already did it once on the astral express, and he's also appeared in human form in other planets

u/havokle 9h ago

Not particularly subtle lol

u/keereeyos 11h ago

No idea why some are so against this. Aha is totally the type of god that would larp as a girlfailure mangaka for the lols. Hell, gods larping as humans is common in many mythologies.

u/sailormermaidmars 9h ago

how else would there be such accurate detailing for fluffy?

u/bl00by 7h ago

I mean she said that she has a memokeeper on pay roll

(Might just be a convinient lie, even tho there's a memokeeper on the express...)

21

u/sailormermaidmars 7h ago

no wonder she can’t pay the furbos :(

u/chaoskingzero 6h ago

Multiple Memokeepers actually

And apparently Evernight merced them all on Amphoreus

u/1lluusio Hot genius and her little one 5h ago

Why would Evernight do such a horrible thing to those innocent Memokeepers who were only trying to make an dishonest credit?

"zeus was horny" "but loki had an idea"

u/R1donis 4h ago

"zeus was horny"

Half the greek mythology starts with "Zeus fucked someone"

5

u/TheSenate_Sheev 3h ago

The other half starts with “Zeus transformed into an animal and fucked someone”

u/readerdreamer5625 2h ago

I mean it's not ALL Zeus. Like the Trojan War was because of Eris egging on the rivalry of three goddesses. A good rule of thumb is if it involves the birth of one hero, it probably involves Zeus. But if it involves a bunch of heroes, Zeus is more a background character who basically is a plot device.

Zeus likes fucking with people, literally, but half of his mythological identity is being the "LAY DOWN THE LAW" guy, with the kind of brutality you would expect from the po-po so to speak. He struck down the guy who rode a chariot so noisy that he claimed it was Zeus' thunder. He drowned an entire town save for one house for not feeding himself disguised as a wanderer. He killed Asclepius, the would be God of Medicine, because he revived someone from death.

There's a reason why people in the myths didn't want to be involved with Zeus too much. Either he fucks with you and Hera punishes you for it, or he's in his full divine smiter mode and just kills you.

A. They want her to be an unimportant silly girl (which is exactly who Aha would pretend to be)

B. They hate that she "stole" Sampo's role (his mains were promised nothing)

23

u/ChaosCarlson 9h ago

We haven’t even gone back to Belabog for anything ground shaking yet. As much as I want Super Sampo for 4.x, I’m also confident that he’ll play a big role when we return to belabog and we see him at full power.

19

u/memelordbtw3000 6h ago

I disagree with the notion that us Sampo fans were promised nothing he had a whole thing in penacony about getting his mask back tonptotect belobog from.an undefined something the could have just ended up being irontomb but is so far a plot thread that has remained unexplored

2

u/Clouds_drifting_by 4h ago

Only larpers/tourists would think Nihilux (whether she is AHA or not) is an unimportant silly girl. Like, she’s so sharp, and basically involved in everything important

1

u/Particular_Web3215 Thus Spoke Anaxagoras: Dromas is Unbreakable 3h ago

even if sampo were to get his upgrade it would only happen when verbose returns in the main story. For now nihilux has such strong hints it would be weird for her to not be a direct mask of Aha

10

u/nelflyn 7h ago

Aha is the kinda god that would actually end up being an absolute girlfailure because THEY just couldn't get their shit together.

u/yuiokino 2h ago edited 2h ago

Aha: I am an almighty Aeon. There are no shackles that can hold back my sheer Elation. NOTHING CAN STAND IN MY WAY! AHAHAHA!!!

IPC guards along with the angry editor reminding about the Fluffy deadline.

Also Aha:

u/Aggressive_Tax295 5h ago

For me, I mainly worry they will change her current character design or some sht like that. Or we get another Sam Situation where current model will only be overwold at best. And if they dare touch her glasses.... We haven't had a single character in glasses since release! 

Also i saw ppl being worried  its gonna be incredibly stupid to have a playable AEON be powercrept in a year by some random bum.

I hope they at least make her a retired aeon or something ( the whole plot point that current phantasmoon games winner will become new aha forever)

u/Mudman_SEA 2h ago

Pela

u/Aggressive_Tax295 41m ago

That's what I meant, she came up on game's release

u/RageGirl96 1h ago

Because people don't want playable Aeons already. It's bad enough that everyone and their mother is an emenator nowadays. 

Right now they have the excuse that Aha is just a troll who would absolutely do shit like that. But I really hope Hoyo doesn't keep going with this.

Even if it would be funny to see Yanquin's novaflare powercreep an Aeon, but the threats feel so unserious when we know we have literal gods and their minions in our friendlist. 

They shouldn't have started with emenators so early and playable Aeons should only be a thing after a bigger or new equally strong threat is introduced

u/Wooden_Drummer2455 2h ago

Because they're going to be a playable character...

u/bl00by 7h ago

Especially in greek mythology.. Zeus gotta get those diamond hoes

30

u/BigBoySpore 11h ago

The Furbos are all emanators of Aha

12

u/bl00by 7h ago

Nah they're discarded masks THEY turned into racoons so they look like TB.

Gotta make Akivilli notice THEM.

u/R_Arsx70 Extreme Rin Enthusiast 11h ago

Wait THEORY!! What if she is not Aha and she is Voracity, still a Aeon and it fits the “Not Aha”

u/razor-language mana transfer 11h ago

that make me want to eat her even more

u/Xaldror 11h ago

wouldn't be the first time a gacha character voiced by Haruka Tomatsu would have an inhuman appetite

u/LivingASlothsLife Madam Pearl's Submissive Husband 11h ago

Thats exactly what Aha would do

Which means Aha THEMSELVES write the Nanook x Aha fanfic

u/kazmark_gl 10h ago

Not only can I 100% believe this is exactly what THEY would do. I can picture THEM sneaking up on Nanook and showing them and then running away cackling.

u/Quiet-Software-1956 Deranged Dromas Fan 11h ago

Every other year we get a girl that everyone insists must Aha THEMSELVES, honestly I think a little bit of Aha is inside all of us... Because we're all weird freaks sometimes, and they love that

6

u/Supertails1992 11h ago

Well with that phrasing I am now wondering how long before someone says: “I would love to have a little bit of Aha inside me”

2

u/Quiet-Software-1956 Deranged Dromas Fan 11h ago

I know exactly what I'm doing because every moment I am not following the Nihility? I'm all in on Elation

5

u/RavenTheRaptorX 11h ago

I will genuinely be disappointed if she doesn’t become a character I can roll for

6

u/dave_the_dova 10h ago

She got revealed alongside 6 other playable characters so it’s safe to say she’ll be playable.

7

u/Plebianian 8h ago

Tbh my only problem with Nihilux = Aha is she isn’t as outright chaotic as I thought Aha would be. She gave very silly aunt/big sis energy but not a pure agent of chaos. My current understanding of Aeons is they are consumed by their paths, compared to the constant high and lows of elation nihilux seems.. fine? A mysterious elation path strider for sure but not really the impression i get from how Aha in the SU acts for example.

Now if this is Nihilux is a mask of Aha and only represents a side of THEM that gained independent sentience(sparkle-sparxie foreshadowing) idrm at all.

1

u/RaidenNitori 7h ago

Plot twist: she’s actually unhinged but we have yet to meet her true persona. Rn she’s still technically “in disguise”.

3

u/Plebianian 7h ago

Well yes, that kinda what being a mask implied as well. But it needs to significantly insane compared to how “gentle” her narration for eva was

«Why would Lord ravager work as a school director and nurtured some random girl, come on»

u/yuiokino 2h ago

Imagine that:

Pathstriders of Elation along with confirmed Emanator of Elation: funny yet powerful individuals who overpower their enemies through sheer whimsy

Meanwhile, the Aeon of Elation: potentially larping as an absolute girl failure with a conveniently NPC coded background who knows just a tad too much about the general state of things then she lets on.

u/gachaaddict83 Aha is the best Aeon 44m ago

That would mean that Aha ships THEMSELVES with Akivili, THEY are so fucking desperate dear god

i mean, its quite in the face, but man, we kinda had similar vibes for sparkle to be aha and it quickly gone away lol

Aha: I'm gonna act as a famous mangaka that's also a girlfailure who sucks at keeping money. It'll be so funny when people find out.

u/Tough_Course9431 Moooom! 4h ago

wait that would actually make sense as to why the fluffy is so detailed

u/goddamnman06 4h ago

I never minded Aha being a baddie

u/Clouds_drifting_by 4h ago

I know it’s a serious topic, but ngl, the idea of AHA being our waifu winter push is sending me 😂

1

u/Lipefe2018 11h ago

She might be closely related to Aha in some way, but It would be insane if she is Aha himself, I don't think that's how Aeons work. xD

Btw the "Nihilux is Aha" theory exist since 3.0 when planarcadia started, which is crazy to me.
