in all things remember to always ask yourself, is that fictional woman devoid of personality or do you just hate that she's drawn sexy

like ill be done talking about this but out of all the original servants medea and maybe rider are the only ones that seem to actually be from their source material. I love saber but a whole lot is changed from what king arthur's themes were, though of course not entirely. I don't know much about cuchulainn but he also doesnt get much in fate anyways. I guess him being 'geassed' annoyingly by kirei kind of matches. true assassin is more of a concept and false assassin is just a guy whos good with a sword. heracles is just berserker. but the medea in fate is like ACTUALLY the medea in the medea etc. (and her themes in fate dialogue with themes in her mythology)

#i also dont know too much about angra mainyu but i know enough to know he is not what he is in fate. #also archer is not from mythology unless you count fate stay night

Got tagged by @mimabeann and @swtorpadawan, my thanks to both of you for the tag!

3 Ships

Canon Ship: Think I gotta go with Mulder and Scully. Though nowadays I really only ever watch up to the first movie (Fight the Future) as the show's writing really went downhill after that point.

OC Ship: My Jedi Knight / Alliance Commander Ryscha Kine with Lord Loyat (my version of her anyway as she has such a small canon presence) and Lana Beniko.

Ship of the Week: Jazz Fenton x Jason Todd. I have been on a big Danny Phantom / DC comics crossover kick and I adore what the crossover fandom has done with these two as a couple.

1st Ship: Oh that was probably Tahiri Veila and Anakin Solo from the Junior Jedi Knight books. I loved them as a cute little kid couple and being a little kid myself I also projected hard onto Tahiri.

Last Song: Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears for Fears

Current reading: Yeah... it has been a while since I finished reading a book though I have started a few

Nevernight - Jay Kristoff

Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus - Mary Shelley

Trouble and Her Friends - Melissa Scott

Last Film: Can't remember the last film I saw in theaters. But the last new film I saw was Prey (2022) which I loved.

Craving: Some good fish and chips, specifically fried catfish. The place near me that I used to go to for my fried catfish fix closed down last year and there are no other good seafood places near me.

this is kind of a vaguepost please bear with me there was long post on my dash yesterday that im not finding back and am possibly partially misremembering that complained the irish servants are suffering from having to bend around scathach's powerlevels and the importance they pulled out of their ass for a character that was in the original text hardly that important (true and i agree) and how frustrating it is that they seem to have no interest in seriously interacting with irish literary works beyond cu chulainn and the scathach they made up and are reducing the rest of them to mostly jokes about sex with other people's wives despite especially fionn being a big deal in his own right (also true and i agree i hate everything about mannanan's presence in this game) interspersed with constant comments about how scathach has no personality and nothing interesting going for her as a character beyond being a hot woman to sell (false and i will kill you) and medb is also just a hot woman to sell (false and i will kill you) because of the precedent scathach set and it's also somehow scathach's fault that saber diarmuid only talks about saber saber (i think you might just hate women) and of course theres not a peep about how scathach herself has fallen victim to this refusal to engage with irish literature too with how they stapled skadi to her to make the cuter and more marketable scathach (who also doesn't have her literary context engaged with in any meaningful way) and then only wheel scathach out for gags anymore. not to fucking mention how this specific character rot isnt even unique to the irish servants have you seen the things they do to poor lancelot. someone at type moon thinks cuckoldry jokes are the funniest thing in the world and the consequences continue to be devastating.

if i were being charitable i would speculate that TM realized they based a bunch of their premises for the irish servants on super outdated incorrect academia and now don't know where they wanna take it from here and are just fooling around in the meantime but everything about mannanan is unforgivable

honestly christianity really hit the jackpot with "jesus christ" rolling off the tongue as an expletive so well. the number one problem with fantasy settings is that whatever names you come up with to take in vain will never hit as well as "jesus christ"

lol you're only learning japanese because you like anime, you're only interested in history because you like the anime girl king king arthur series, you're only broadening your horizons and becoming a more learned and fulfilled person because your sincere enjoyment of something not considered intellectual enough to be worthy of recognition provided you with a small window into a few of the many wonders of culture and knowledge the world has to offer and you want to obtain a deeper understanding of them

fucked up that the home desktop computer went from something only niche hobbyist nerds or people with jobs that require them have to something every single household has and back to something only for niche hobbyist nerds or people with jobs that require them in the span of like 30 years

if you search a tag on someone's blog on the mobile app it will show you only a selection of posts in an inscrutably random order but if you go to a mobile browser and type [blog url].tumblr.com/tagged/[tag] you will get all posts on that blog with that tag in reverse chronological order. if you add /chrono behind it you get them in regular chronological order. naturally this works in desktop browsers too but i know many people are mobile only these days and the app's built in tag search is shit so this knowledge is vital to your survival

i don’t think tumblr actually eats asks i think that was made up by someone who was caught in the crossfire of some petty tumblr drama years ago and we all just ran with it because it’s both plausible and incredibly convenient. for the record if i don’t answer your ask it’s because i didn’t want to. peace peace ✌️

a character can be as perceptive and insightful and intellectually curious as you can possibly imagine the fucking second they show signs of being a little rowdy or boisterous or just generally being cheerful and physically fit they instantly get slapped with the “dumbass” stamp because the faceless masses of general fandom trends still haven’t progressed beyond the immovable jock vs nerd dichotomy i guess

#anyway i love cuchulainn #this post is about at least 3 different characters ive seen subjected to this recently but the one im naming is wilnas granblue #he's literally smart he just lacks context and has huge muscles
