I think the ideal Orestia retelling is one where everyone is lying out their ass. Agamemnon is lying, Clytemnestra is lying, Iphigenia is lying, Elektra is lying, Orestes is lying, Chrysothemis is lying.

There is not a single ounce of truth, it's liars all the way down

Unryu

📺: Is your OC inspired at all by characters from other media? Which one(s) and what traits do they have in common?

-the Spark that made me start developing his lore was without question first ignited when i first read Vagabond and his design is influenced by Guts from berserk, Him later losing an eye to Zenos in Stormblood was inspired by such. But much of his character arc i believe was on it's own with any influences being subconscious at best

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦: What is their family like? Are there any family members that are particularly influential and/or important to them (whether in a positive or negative sense)?

-I'm not gonna give a full answers as your still progressing thru the game and wanna see you go thru some stuff before i give certain details

Unryu's relantionship with his family was overall very positive Albeit abit stressful from living under garlemald as non-citizens

Unryu spent the most time with his Mother who taught him to work the forge when he was young and was often a protective figure in his youth, pulling him away from things that could put him in danger when he was under her watch Granted with how large he grew up to be he didn't need that watch for much longer

His dad he treasures alot. If you asked Unryu who he thought the wisest person on the planet was he'd answer his dad rather than any famed Sharlayan scholar. His morals of avoiding violence unless it becomes unavoidable were something that stuck particularly close with Unryu and was part of the reason he wanted to dodge conscription. So he wouldn't be forced to fight when he didn't wanted to

His grandfather, old and bitter as he is initially scared Unryu when he was a small child but nearing his teens he began talking to him alot more he began telling him how Doma was before Garlemald and the horror stories of the war between the two nations which the old man fought in himself

leaving them behind was a hard choice for him to make but he felt it was either be forced to rob some other poor bastard of his home or run away from his.

🏷️: What is their full name? Do any of their names have any special meaning? How did you come up with them?

-Unryu Gesi! Unryu meaning cloud dragon, Initially named after a japanese war ship because i wanted a nautical theming to his name. But if you look at my answer to Mac's questions you'd see that Unryu retroactively took up a weather motif as well, funny how that is. The Gesi is one of the many Xeala tribes of the Azem steppe that his Grandma, Bayaarma Gesi came from While he's yet in the context of where your at in the game to step foot in the steppe themselves he still holds pride in his partial Xeala ancestry.

You got any shippy headcanons? Not any specific ship, just any ship or ships you feel like rambling about!

...Do you know what you have done? The power I now hold -

Ship Headcanons (FGO)

YARIYUMI, YUMIYARI, WHICHEVER WHATEVER

I LOVE THEM

Fsn Cú and EMIYA just? Compliment each other so well??

(Plus I'm pretty sure one of the writers said that they were compliments on purpose so - )

When they both get summoned to Chaldea, they just take one look at each other and go "are you serious??"

Proto Cú is the mediator between the two of them in the beginning, since he's friends with EMIYA and he's a part of the Cú Squad

Fsn Cú and EMIYA only start to interact more after EMIYA finds out Fsn Cú is the one challenging his place in the kitchen baking at night (@oddnub @sequel-to I'm tagging you both for this because we are now the Baking Cú Squad). He had confronted him about it, and once he got him to admit it he...just gives him tips and leaves?

And Fsn Cú is like what???

So, he (begrudgingly) listens to his advice and starts baking with fervor. It's still at odd hours of the night, but that's how he prefers it to be and wait who is that walking down the halls -

"I figured you'd be here."

"Archer." Fsn Cú says, thankful that Proto Cú had already gone to his room so he couldn't witness this trainwreck of a conversation

"Do you mind if I assist you?"

That's...not what he was expecting. Fsn Cú would've teased him a bit more if he wasn't currently doing a job meant for two or more people.

He nods. "Yeah, thanks."

EMIYA washes up, looking over his shoulder as he mixes the batter, keeping an eye on the oven timer. "What are you making?"

"Russian Teacakes." Fsn Cú explains. "Master told me that it's a tradition they have with their family, and since it's summertime I'll let them cool in the fridge."

EMIYA hums his approval, putting on his black apron. The sight is doing things to Fsn Cú's heart it really shouldn't be doing, so he turns away.

"May I add a suggestion?"

"Well, I plan to be here all night. Shoot."

"Strawberry milkshakes with the berries we picked from the garden."

Fsn Cú's eyes widen. "It's a good idea, but isn't Master allergic?"

EMIYA gives a deep, world-weary sigh. "They are adamant that they have some. They mentioned it to me in passing, but they won't tell me why."

Fsn Cú snorts. "That sounds just like them."

And so, the next half hour is filled with a comfortable silence. It hits Fsn Cú at how domestic this is, and does his face feel a little warmer?

He flicks some batter at EMIYA. "Keep up those frowns and you'll end up looking like an old man in no time."

EMIYA raises a brow, wiping the batter off his face. There's a strange gleam in his eyes as he replies, "It seems you've forgotten which one of us is the elder here, Cú Chulainn."

Fsn Cú opens his mouth to retort, but something hits his chest and cheek. He wipes it off, dumbfounded.

It's batter.

A grin forms on his face. "Oh, it's on!"

And that's how Robin and Proto Cú found them, laughing at the mess they made while three trays of Russian Teacakes sit untouched on the counter.

Speaking of Robin and Proto Cú...

(@oddnub I blame you for getting me into this ship, and yep I tagged you twice)

These two are so obviously in love that it physically hurts

Robin wants go play some cards? Proto Cú is there, along with Billy the Kid as they talk smack to each other

Proto Cú goes hunting by himself? Robin's in the trees, keeping an eye on him

(Proto Cú has no idea he's there. He just thinks that his Luck is turning around, that or some deity is watching out for him)

Robin gets teased about it by Fsn Cú

"Robin, are you alright?" Proto Cú asks him as they sit down for lunch one time.

Robin raises a brow at him, stopping mid-chew. "Uh, yeah? Why?"

Proto Cú gestures to him. "You look like you fought a bear. And lost."

Robin chokes, Fsn Cú laughing loudly across from him because he knows.

(Yes, he did indeed fight a demonic bear that was slowly circling around Proto Cú's location during his latest hunt for boars. He won, but just barely; the thing had steel plating all over despite it being a bear, so his arrows couldn't make quick work of it)

Proto Cú frets as he slams his hand into his back, thoroughly dislodging the piece of meat that was stuck in his throat. Fsn Cú is cackling, damn him, and now Cascú is chuckling because he knows too.

"Just fell out of bed weird this morning." Robin says weakly, taking a swig of water. "Didn't bother to brush up."

"Ohhh, gotcha." Proto Cú nods, and now Cascú is wheezing as Fsn Cú lays dead on the floor. "Oi, what's so funny guys?"

"Oh nothing, nothing."

Alter Cú grunts, leveling Fsn Cú and Cascú with a stare. "Don't. If they want to be idiots, let them be idiots."

Seriously, these two are so inseparable they have inside jokes

You like the idea of Baker Fsn Cú? Get ready for Gardner Robin

He doesn't tend to the vegetables, no. He grows flowers because he knows flowers make Master happy

(He also lets the child Servants make flower crowns and, on occasion, makes bouquets if he gets a request for them)

Atalanta and Achilles come every so often to help him, although Achilles is there usually because Atalanta is

Merlin just, chills there?? And sometimes gives tips to Robin???

"Hey Robin, what happened to Sapph?"

It's a nickname for Sapphire, the blue bird that's always perched on his shoulder. The two are never separated - until now, apparently.

The Archer doesn't look up from his work, watering the hyacinths. It's quiet but peaceful, which is exactly his kind of environment. "She's with Proto." He mentions offhandedly.

He misses Merlin's smirk, but the smug tone in his voice is enough to tip him off. "She doesn't like anybody except for you. Strange for her to not be by your side."

Yes, Robin can read between the lines. Sometimes, though, he wishes that he couldn't.

Now is one of those times.

"You know what? Mage of Flowers? Shut up."

Merlin laughs at his grumbling, thankfully not saying more on the matter.

Asterios comes to help him tend to the garden and Robin never turns him down

Seeing the gentle giant cup a bud in his large hands, taking care not to crush it as he pats it into the earth with a smile as he whispers "I hope...you grow into the beautiful flower that you are" is so pure that Robin's respect for him skyrockets in .01 seconds

Asterios usually gives the flowers he grows himself to Euryale, who never fails to accept them with a soft look in her eyes

Canto II really intruiges me from an adaptation/inspiration standpoint because it did something really noticeable in a way I didn't really notice the other Cantos do.

And that's applying character traits heavily associated with one character to a different character with an equally clear explanation.

Gregor and Hermann keep the antagonistic relationship between Gregor and his family (remains to be seen if Gregor and Hermann are blood relations, a literal family like the novel or in a more metaphorical sense)

Sinclair, Kromer, and Demian are still largely in their "focus", "tormenter", and "savior" roles respectively, just expanded upon and dramaticized to fit the setting.

But then you get to Rodya and Sonya/Rodion and Sofya and it's like they did a freaky Friday "personality flaw swap" in addition to both being genderswaps of their namesake.

From what I know of crime and punishment, Rodion was the one who repeatedly attempted to use high-minded theory and big words to justify their actions, justifying the murder under the logic of "Now I can go achieve great things, so it's a worthy sacrifice", whole Sofya was the grounded confidant who eventually followed Rodion into his punishment to stick with him out of devotion.

Very interested to see where Project Moon takes Rodya and Sonya from here, because, as of right now, they're really conspicuous in this shuffling of "role", in a way Gregor and Sinclair really weren't.

One of my favorite parts of Fate I haven't realized was one of my favorite parts of Fate until recently is to take something that conceptually should be on the scale of "I don't give a fuck" to "I actively dislike this" and make me like it through the execution.

#this post is about britomart lmao #fgo #fate grand order #mushi and hokusai probably also qualify #but brito's the one who made me realize it #oddnub rambles

Saber Cú Chulainn would be like...a more extreme version of Lancer Cú, methinks.

If Swords are ideals and Lances are fate, then a Saber Cú Chulainn is a the epitome of an "Unconent" Cú Chulainn. Where Lancer Cú is rather unconcerned with the Grail because he's already got what he wanted and is content, Saber Cú Chulainn doggedly pursues (pun intented) the Grail like he did the Champion's Portion in Fled Bricrenn despite still having the same basic "Fight People" reason for fighting Lancer does.

Maybe even make him another younger alt, like Proto-Cu, to symbolize how he's constantly chasing the fate he (but also more prominently and symbolically, his Lancer self) already attained.

The setup/inciting incident of The Death of the Children of Tuireann is straight up one of the funniest moments in mythology.

The children of Tuireann kill Lugh's dad and Lugh finds out so he asks the Children of Tuireann to come to a feast and at the feast he goes

"Hey guys what do you think the proper price someone looking to avenge their father should be?"

And the Children of Tuireann answer, "Easy, kill his killers."

And Lugh goes, "Sick, btw, I'm the son of the guy you killed a week ago."

And its like you can feel the moment the Children of Tuireann shit themselves
