Wasn't there an Apocrypha short story about Kairi and Jean Rum going after a Sealing Designated in South America?

I know that conscious decision making plays a part in it, but how exactly is it that Zouken hasn't become a Dead Apostle through magecraft and how he sustains himself regardless of how he feels about the matter?
BL Character Defining Lines
I imagine there's a more detailed explanation that could be given, but my assumption is that, while a Dead Apostle drinks blood/consumes genetic material to sustain their own body, Zouken's method of persistence is to reduce himself to being a single worm that steals other people's bodies (and reshapes them to look like him), thus effectively creating entirely new bodies for himself.
Even if they both do it by eating people, the methods they use to persist are fundamentally different. So while they are very similar in practice, they just aren't classified in the same way.
...is how I understand it. My memory of how exactly Zouken does his thing is a bit shaky though, so someone will probably come along with a better answer.

If Fou and Nrvnqsr count, then so should Zouken.
Isn't fou just there because of Altrouge's insistence?

Really? He seems convinced.
What's up with Karna's eyes? Why are they sometimes the same color, sometimes different? Moreover, aren't all demigod eyes red?
His eye are always grey (light blue?) when drawn by pako and Konoe. I think Wada is the only one who draws him with a permanent red right eye. Probably just her choice to represent Brahmastra.
Karna's last ascension in FGO (by pako) also has the red eye but it's also on fire and clearly an action scene so he's probably using Brahmastra there.
Also, I'm pretty sure the red eyes for gods and demigods thing is only for Mesopotamia, isn't it? Blond hair and red eyes. It's not like Arjuna or any of the Greeks have red eyes either.
Mesopotamian Gods all have red eyes ans blond hair supposedly
Which Gil inherited
It's just a coincidence that Cu also has red eyes I guess, but see: Arjuna, Asclepius, Orion...
Cu had red eyes while he was alive. Whether Nasu knows that is a separate issue, but it's a well-known fact among those who are familiar with his mythos, so it shouldn't be a coincidence. I'm personally led to believe Nasu does know since Cu's eyes are closer to a ruby color in Extraverse, which is the color that the texts used to describe his eyes more specifically with when they didn't use the general word red. Plus, it'd be kind of weird for Nasu to not know that detail when he clearly knows about the "immense sadness" descriptor about Cu's eyes that is basically in the next sentence.
Also, greetings. I haven't had much to do with quarantine in effect...
If it exists it would be part of Blank Space, the collection of short stories that came out with the blu-ray for season 1 of apo.
The third story on the apo website says it's about the last mission Kairi had before he got the call from Rocco to join the HGW.
No one's uploaded it or the other stories. But if there's someone who would upload it, it'd be the chinese.
But if you want to buy it

He means it's a coincidence in the sense that they're not red for the same reason Gil's are. Them being accurate to IRL myth isn't really relevant.
It's still pretty cool though, thanks for the factoid.
Why Twilight Survivor doesn't have a rank in prillya?

Makes you wonder why Tiamat has planet eyes and river hair.
Maybe it's Beast stuff? Or the gods could've changed over time/across generation.
Tiamat's children don't have to look like her. At least, the Lahmus sure don't.
The Lahmus are not gods. They're what will be new humans.
My point is that if ALL Mesopotamian gods share those traits, then it should also apply to Tiamat - a Mesopotamian goddess. But clearly she doesn't have those traits, so the question is why a Mesopotamian goddess doesn't have traits that ALL Mesopotamian deities apparently shared. Why is she abnormal compare to the rest, assuming ALL of the rest have these 2 traits. If anything, her not having it might mean that it's not genetic, at least when she was still around.

if they changed over time then my question would be what caused the change. What was the reason for all of them to suddenly adopt red eyes and blond hair other than to justify Gil's appearance. I'm pretty sure only the Mesopotamian gods have this trait and not the other pantheons.

Well, the Mesopotamian Pantheon are concepts of nature deified by humanity, while Tiamat is a 200-million-years-old dragon thing, no?
Maybe it's like how the Greek Pantheon is not from a single source, but space robots + local deities
They were there before humans and then later became gods (Gil's CCC SG). And nothing said Tiamat is 200m years old. She can regress to Jurassic era (not confirmed to be her limit either), not that she was born in that period of time.
Going by what we knew of them, Ea was one of those gods who made the planet cool down enough for life, which should be like 4+ billion years ago. The primordial hell thing is probably reference to the Hadean eon and Ea was the deification of that force of nature. Tiamat is like Ea's great grandma in term of myth, but she is actually the primordial sea from which life came out. So she's probably the deification of the primordial oceans that also existed during Hadean eon. So they should be very old, unless Nasu's timeline for this doesn't match RL science.Maybe it's like how the Greek Pantheon is not from a single source, but space robots + local deities
So if the pantheon is affected by worship and mixed up, it might be that Tiamat was sealed away too fast, way b4 deification by humans is a thing so she wasn't affected by worship as much compare to her children who later decided to go with this blond hair thing.
