"Mechsploitation" isn't breaking any ground, we've been putting trans characters through horrible situations by way of giant robot since 1985

Keaton from Fire Emblem Fates: Vampire, clan Gangrel
Artwork of Keaton from FE Fates. He's a guy wearing a white shirt with a black sleeveless vest over it, black pants and leather boots, with a weird white & black haircut I genuinely can't find the words to describe, with a wolf tail and ears.

"Average ancient spirit guards one sword" factoid actually just a statistical error. Average ancient spirit guards 0 swords. FE7 Georg, who guards the Blazing Blade,
Cropped screenshot from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, showing the status screen of the boss character "Georg". He is described as "An ancient spirit who guards the Blazing Blade", and is a big pale guy wearing black armor.

6) Stretching the definition of "villain" just so I can include that one card of Eldigan somewhere in this thread. Outside of him my pick would have to be Lyon, partially influenced by how good Dark Stone is.
Artwork for the Fire Emblem Cipher card game, depicting the battle between Eldigan and Sigurd from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Sigurd is seen exclusively in the reflection of Eldigan's sword, the holy blade Mystletainn, which emits a red aura. Eldigan himself is a blond-haired young man wearing red, regal clothing and a white cravat, riding on horseback. Artwork of Lyon from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. He is a purple-haired man with a tiara, wearing long purple robes, adorned with silver shoulder pads.

5) Ditto but I'm even less decisive

She also has pointy ears. Portrait of Marianne from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. She is a blue-haired young woman in clerical robes. Altena from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. She is a woman with long brown hair, wearing red armor, a white headband and cape, long beige boots, and wielding a spear. Artwork of Eirika from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. She is a young woman with long teal hair, wearing a red shirt and long boots, with a pale skirt and cape, and gold armor on her upper chest and shoulders, wielding a rapier.

4) Unable to settle on just one so you're getting three
Portrait of Dimitri from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. A man with shaggy blond hair, an eyepatch over his right eye and bags under his left one, wearing black armor and a fur cape. Artwork of Soren from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. A young, black-haired guy with a red mark on his forehead, striking red eyes, and black robes covered by a dark green cape, carrying a book. Artwork of Galzus from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. An absurdly tall man with shaggy grey hair, wearing a red headband and brown light armor, with fur-lined boots.

Nothing will top any version of Blues.EXE I fear
Official artwork of Blues.EXE/Protoman.EXE from the Megaman Battle Network series. He's a slender guy with long white hair in a ponytail, wearing black & purple spandex, with red armor, gauntlets and boots, concealing most of his face under a red and white helmet, with sunglasses integrated into it, and a tall fin on top. His left arm can turn into the emitter for a red laser sword. He has an emblem, as seen on the back of his hand, which is a circle split in half by a thunderbolt, with one side white and another black. The second "Cross Fusion" version of Blues.EXE, retaining much of the same design details, but adding in yellow diamonds on the boots and gauntlets, black parts to the hair, a white mask with a black line going down the middle, and additional white lines on the torso. Dark Blues.EXE, a corrupted version of Blues. The spandex is now fully black, his hair is gray, wild and unkempt instead of the usual neat ponytail, and aside from the emblem, all of the white on the armor is replaced with purple and dull gold. The shades of his helmet are also now red instead of the usual black.

I know right-wingers tend to be stupid assholes but this is unprecedentedly dumb
Excerpt from the quoted article; "There's clearly something political about it, but nobody knows what it is," said the restaurant manager. He explained the majority of the people complaining about the artwork are against high levels of immigration and believe the artwork is an attempt to humanise small boat crossings because the people walking across the water Christmas hats on.

Watching a friend play Genealogy of the Holy War
"I fucking hate you and hope you die / I like playing with toys" meme, edited to have my discord profile picture on the guy saying "I fucking hate you and hope you die" and my friend Timbs' discord profile picture on the kid saying "I like playing with toys". "Toys" is replaced with "Arden", and the toy in the kid's hands is replaced with Arden's map sprite from Genealogy of the Holy War.

Listening to Gekkouka in the morning just to feel like this

I have a pitch
2013. 5 years have passed since the destruction of the Prime Chantry in Vienna, and the Second Inquisition's purge of Kindred in the French city of Marseille. The opportunistic leadership of Clan Tremere's chantry of Nice have sent you, a group of young recruits eager to prove your worth, overseen by a Magister, to take Marseille as a new Domain. Standing in the way of this goal are a Hecata force led by Tiberius Giovanni, from Turin, and a small but powerful Anarch coterie from Montpellier. You have a year to establish dominance.

Nyarlathotep as depicted in the Persona 2 duology: Demon, Ravener of House Lammasu
The Lovecraft character Nyarlathotep as depicted in Persona 2, having taken the appearance of Akinari Kashihara, a japanese man with brown hair, wearing a dark pinstripe suit over a black and red priest's outfit. Unusued design for Nyarlathotep's "true" form in Persona 2. Here, he looks like a man wearing a completely black suit, covering dark, twisting material that forms into pitch black hands and a mask wearing a neutral but somewhat smug expression and a pendant on its forehead. He also wields a short white scepter.

That is honestly a funny as hell lineup and I kinda want to stop updating my letterboxd for a while just so it remains like this
