I know we joke about Gudako being a beast of humanity but serious talk.

Could the Gudas possibly qualify as a beast unintentionally?

In fate a Beast must have “love for humanity” which snakes them act not out of malice, but rather threaten humanity through an underlying desire to protect it in a manner

What has Guda been doing this entire time? Fighting for humanity, while ending seven worlds full of it for their own version of humanity.

They have actively threatened and destroyed entire worlds for humanity.

#joke as in the gatcha beast memes etc #idk I might have more thoughts on this later #but if fucking Olga Marie can be a beast??? so can Guda imo #fgo #fate #kiwiki speaks #ritsuka fujimaru #Gudako #Gudao #the Guda’s #fate grand order #fate go #Beast Guda AU

I love that ship where both characters are introduced as friendly, only for one to turn out to have been lying the whole time and try to kill the other, all of which eventually culminates in their defeat and dramatic (and literal) fall, only then for them to return as a reluctant ally of their once enemy who knows them way too well and whose new relationship with them is largely interpreted as bantery. What do you mean which one.

#so maybe i have types yeah #thought about this the other day and hm those sure are similar! funny! #wonder if that's why i love both so much who can say really #absolutely a sucker for those blue themed antagonists turned allies who aren't very happy about it and are also very tsun about it #genshin #fgo #obeguda #scaraether #scaralumi #too bad those last two don't have an encompassing tag for both travelers à la obeguda #oberon 🤝 scara #suffering a crushing defeat and falling to their demise in a way that absolutely marked their fandoms #scara's friendly introduction is a stretch compared to oberon but hey he did start out as friendly in unreconciled stars #i wasn't there for it but i did my research

So... Lostbelt 6 part 2 is out and it's great! I haven't finished it yet but uh... I gotta address something. And it's this scene.

Good scene, right? Beautiful CG, some insight into the way Castoria thinks... but there's something wrong with this scene.

It's translated wrong.

Now if you're like me and you've been keeping up with fan translations for FGO, you may have realized this already, but this translation fundamentally misses the entire point of the scene.

This is what Castoria is supposed to be saying:

I don't want to see her. I don't want to be shown her. She's too much. I don't want to believe it. I don't want to acknowledge it.

After all.

She has no equal. Takes no refuge. No one who understands her. None who can comfort her.

She receives no reward. No goals. No rest. She cannot afford failure, not even a single mistake.

Ah—from the bottom of my heart, I think: "no."

Just how cruel must it be for everyone to smile and acknowledge a king like that?

Do you see the difference? This is a defining scene concerning Castoria's character. Something that sets her apart from every other iteration of Artoria that we've known so far (barring the Servantverse ones). Castoria sees the way of life that her PHH self chose and is repulsed. She can't stand to think about it. At first it seems like she's just buckling under the weight of those expectations, but in reality, Castoria just can't stand to see her.

She can't stand to see this other version of herself willingly throw away her humanity for the sake of an ideal. To give up her own happiness, to give up any chance of ever being understood, all to become a perfect king who the people will love and praise, but never truly understand.

It is a lonely existence, and like a certain redhead in Fate/Stay Night, she can't accept it. Who could bear to live like that? Who would want to live like that? Castoria wants nothing more than to be happy. She wants to make friends her age, eat sweets with them, go shopping with them and walk down the street while holding their hands. She wants to LIVE, and the thought of giving all of that up for the sake of everybody but yourself...

Noble? Sure. But it's mostly just tragic.

That's what this scene is about. Establishing exactly how Castoria feels about her Proper Human History self. She doesn't admire her, if anything it HURTS to see her, to know what she went through, to know what she did.

So WHY was it translated like this?

I'm the only one of my kind. I have nowhere to run. No one understands me. Romance is out of the question.

There's no reward. No finish line. no rest. I can't make so much as a single mistake.

Ahh... So many things I'll never have.

How cruel would I have to be for everyone to accept a king like me with a smile?

Listen, Castoria thinking of her own struggles in parallel to Saber's is interesting, and it isn't NOT there... but that isn't the point of the scene, and foregrounding it like this is uh...

It sure is a decision, that's for sure.

It's not necessarily bad, but it just doesn't fit due to the obvious reason that this isn't what the scene is supposed to be. This scene isn't Castoria seeing a vision of Saber and going "wow, how am I going to live up to this?" as if Saber's story is aspirational.

No. It's a tragedy, and what Castoria is actually thinking is "that's cruel and fucked up"

Anyways I just felt like putting this out there... and before anybody jumps down my throat about how the fan-translation could've been wrong... I did bring this up with a friend who can read Japanese and went to read the node in Japanese. While you could argue that because Caster and Artoria are acknowledged to be different versions of the same person, that Caster is using "I" to refer to the other, but the last line is just outright wrong. The scene is fundamentally about the cruelty of everyone around Saber placing an impossible burden on her, and how Castoria feels seeing that.

having violent feelings over edguda bc. theres literally two edmond dantes throughout the years. the one who was summoned by goetia and the one summoned to chaldea. the latter is summoned later which means that the former was the one that fell first. but it kind of doesnt matter considering they're the same and share memories and connection with each other. asafsdjf i like to think that chaldea!dantes forcibly set his bond level to zero upon summoning. like he gets his self's records on the spot considering a part of himself is already at chaldea- albeit he lives literally rent free in guda's mind. like maybe he thought, "they did what." and immediately caught feelings before telling himself, "no. i am the king of the cavern that is still separate from my self that is inside that foolish Master. therefore i will test their resolve first if they could handle my flames of hatred otherwise they are unfit to be my accomplice." and then catches feelings himself asjkfsdhflkh

and considering. that chaldea dantes is the outward protector while his other self becomes the first official SECOM member, the feelings for guda is probably twice for both as much to the point where he does this [gestures to all of part 1, part 1.5, part 2, silly/serious events, and then the interludes and several rank ups that has mere mentions of him without appearing].

and for so long, the dantes with fight with is chaldea!dantes whereas monte cristo is the very dantes that we meet at prison tower like.... it makes things much more special because doesnt that mean we finally get to spend more time with "prison tower"!dantes more? its just so.... ghh my heart hurts from so much love...

She did not like the sun, because she always believed that it mocked and ridiculed her.

#fate grand order #fgo #Ashiya Douman #Katou Danzou #Caster of Limbo #its a line from Kotarou's interlude about Danzou #not sure if the connection with Limbo was intentional or not but i heard it and immediately thought of him #given his association with the dark sun and obsession with her #ive also been wanting to draw him haloed by the dark sun for a while now #im sure tumblr is gonna shrink this so full view is probably better?
