“”. A woman stepped out of the drift, tall and handsome, with dark eyes and darker hair. Her clothes were brightly dyed, cloaked in the myriad of autumn, a sharp contrast to the demure blues and grays of Artoria’s own wardrobe. Glass beads adorned both her neck and her wrists, trapped the outside sunlight and carried its reflection inside with her.
Once recovered from her surprise, Artoria spoke: “Greetings, Vivian. I appreciate your haste.” “”

Plot : While her knights are out questing for the Holy Grail, Artoria stumbles across two gifts left behind by Merlin. If only she could figure out how to return them.

For as many options of things to draw and things I’m currently working on, for some reason I have artists’ block. I saw the other day was Maid Day so I thought it would be fun to do a masterona maid doodle. But then I thought, since the Requiem event going on right now is board game theme, I thought it would be fun to draw something like, as though one of the games in the event was Clue. I had some comic doodle ideas to go with it, but it ended up being too long for the set.
Darius got shafted because Iskandar exists and he's the one fate cares about. Boudica on the other hand had the unfortunate fate of being someone who despises Nero and that isn't allowed in fate. Also, Septem killed her dead and fgo has made no attempts to fix her.
Yes to Boudica, you'd THINK for Darius but not really.
Iskandar has like. No presence in FGO at all. I didn't even realize he was exclusive for a year because I was used to exclusives making regular appearances (ya know, to flog them at ya) but I've never seen Iskandar with a direct role outside of Septem which was Alexander actually, and interludes like Darius's. Has he even appeared in the main story once now that I think about it...?
But regardless it goes further beyond that because while Boudica gets painted over, Darius actually gets glorified. IRL he was pretty much a massive coward, and that's part of why he's the only person to face Iskandar and live. Even then he still eventually died ingloriously, not even at Alexander's hand but by his own men who overthrew him after Darius tried to flee Persia and leave it to Alexander. Alexander was the only one who even showed Darius respect in death; Darius' own family disowned him for how Darius had abandoned them when Alexander pursued him (to which Alexander treated them as honored guests), to the point his own mother Sisygambis claimed Alexander was her true son and lived the rest of her life as such, with him even referring to her as his mother, and Alexander was even welcomed as Persia's conqueror. But despite all that, Alexander insisted Darius have a funeral and be buried with his ancestors.
That, from what little they've given him, seems to the be the basis of Fate Darius: For whatever reason, Alexander saw him as a true equal. There are plenty of characters who Fate uses as glorified ways to hype up the characters it ACTUALLY cards about, but Darius doesn't seem to be one of them....if only because after establishing what little character he has, they then did absolutely nothing to elaborate on any of it. Ever.
To call this his best version from Lancer and Saber will not be a lie . Having a lot more self esteem and confidence is one thing to start he remains the same chivalrous loyal knight who enjoys a good fight and a good adventure you could say he can be more optimistic and smiling a lot more than his other versions
After his survival of the Demon Boar thanks to the boar’s natural negating ability Diarmuid broke free from his Love Spot Curse and Grainne’s Geis .......This new freedom made Diarmuid decide to leave Grainne so that she can find real happiness now that she was also freed from the charm .....even though he was fully welcomed back to the Fianna Diarmuid felt something missing ...with Fionn growing old and everything was at peace Diarmuid’s soul craved for a real action so he left on self discovery journey hoping for adventurous quests .
And so he travelled to the Otherworld meeting again his adoptive fathers Aengus and Manann were they welcomed him and gave him different tasks to complete ...Diarmuid completed them all and seeing how much he grew they decided he was ready to revel him the truth of his birth ..... That he was the Son of Donn ...the God of the dead whose Kingdom was in Tech Duinn .....Diarmuid travelled to his father’s domain and they were finally reunited as he still alive Diarmuid knew he still didn’t belonged in Tech Duinn permanently yet however he accepted his demigod status and found a new purpose as he had access to all the realm of the Fae , Human and Dead His new role was to become a Guide to those who were lost and a Messenger to the Gods ....
(for the fellow Diarturia fans ...unfortunately as his duties were keeping him busy even when he was blessed with longevity of a demigod their paths did not cross but stories of her Legend did reached him of the brave King of Camelot ...I wanted too but i didn’t wanted to change the whole myth )
Abilities and Powers
NP ''''Torch Deamhan'''
The Demon Boar he once defeated is now his not only personal transport but also his fellow companion in his battles when needed
NP ‘’’ Tá Donn ag sracadh sna scamaill anocht. ‘’
This power is given by Donn himself as Diarmuid is still ‘’Alive’’ in this version he was not granted any blessings who will be more fitting to a death deity ...however this Lightning magic is a powerfull offencive and defensive for different kinds of combat the yellow spear and sword must been thrown to the sky to activate in order to access it ...They kinda work like a conductor ....
Gáe Buidhe : The yellow spear has lost the permanent curse of a wound remaining unhealed because of the fight with the boar it weakened the curse to a point that wounds can heal but in a really slow pace
Beagalltach : The yellow sword was used on the boar but it didn’t had a curse to be weakened but it is capable on repelling magic attacks
Moralltach : His demonic red sword that is said A blow bringing certain death, another certain victory, ....that does not mean a simple cut will ensure it
Gáe Dearg : The red long spear renders magical enhancements and projections useless by severing all ties with magical energy as long as the contact remains

I've only just started watching Fate/Zero and I feel there's something significant to Iskandar, Gilgamesh and Artoria being red, yellow and blue, as well as being the King of Conquerors, the King of Heros, and the King of Knights respectively.
