The original idea was I was supposed to put this up every two months
Squall Leonhart discovers Homestuck.
What?
This is the PIMP MY CANON meme, where you have the opportunity to show off your canon and perhaps even find a new one to get into!
Want to share the glory of demonic butlers? Do you need to tell people exactly what a Lombax is and how cute their tails are? (Seriously their tails are super adorable) Here is the place to do it!
OR!
Perhaps your character was given the Shoulder Touch of Camraderie™ from Serph and now you can't stop thinking about
How do I PIMP MY CANON?
In whatever ways you deem fit. Write summaries, link videos, screenshots, fanart, playthroughs, whatever you want! Add on to your friends' comments with additional stuff of your own!
The only thing I ask is that you not put too many large images in your post (if you have to put in a lot, make some of them links!) and link to videos rather than embed them. This is so the page doesn't take for-freaking-ever to load and doesn't become inaccessible due to oversaturation of gifs and stuff.
You may also want to keep spoilers to a minimum, but that's up to you.
Also make sure your coding works, because nothing sucks more than making a totally awesome ad for your canon only to have a missing bold tag mess it all up. Or you could edit. That works too.
Levi, why didn't you put this up last month?
Because I'm a dummy who forgets things.
The Legend of the Legendary Heroes
Aka Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu, LOLHeroes is a comedy series about dango, afternoon naps, and idealism, where the characters learn to persevere in the face of adversary and hopefully save the world.
... It also gets compared to this series due to apparently possessing similar undertones.
Because yeah, when I say 'comedy', I mean that it really likes its mood whiplash so it technically does have humour when people aren't dying/killing each other/doing morally questionable things/angsting/having horrible things done to them/etc., and by 'idealism', I mean that it does not work and people learn that the hard way, and, well. It is about dango and afternoon naps. And persevering in the face of adversary because yeaaaaaah there is a lot of that. And they're trying to save the world, but it hasn't gotten done in 22 volumes (if anything, they've just made it worse, but, uh. It gets worse before it gets better?).
THE PLOT IS... DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN but there is a lot of war and politics and suffering and racism (and ho yay). And killing. It's kind of inevitable when half the cast are psychopaths. Overall, like I said, it's about people trying to maintain hope when the world is pretty damn determined to crush it and change things for the better, usually via very extreme methods.
It's a light novel series that is finally being translated again here. It's also got a million mostly untranslated manga adaptations and an anime adaptation based off the first series, so you should probably just watch that first as the original series hasn't been entirely translated yet. And if you happened to click on that link and are going ???, there's basically the main series, which consists of the original and its sequel, and two side series. And Sion Note, which I think came with something else.
BE WARNED THAT IF YOU WATCH THE ANIME you will be very confused by the end because not only is it a compressed version of the novels anyway, you need to read/research the sequel to realize what the hell was going on. Yep.
Also, it has really nice magic.

I feel sorry for anyone who went into the series blind and was fooled by the first episode.
