More like Gilgamesh Tries his Hand at Not Having a Life.

So how it is different from normal? He was always a NEET.

Pretty true. This chapter I'm posting is Babysitting (Part 2) though.

The King does not need training, education or work! He is The King and you should be happy he lets you have the honor of providing for him!

Actually, IANCE, The King already works... by being a King — nay, The King of Heroes!

Hey, it's a demanding job that only someone as superior and sublime as him can handle!

To The King being The King is merely a pastime, you pitiful mortal! Do not presume a mongrel knows of the chores and daily burdens of one so magnificent as The King!

And I so want a FSN Live Action Movie where Bruce Campbell plays Gilgamesh...

Wait, Gil is The King?

If you have to explain it, then it's not a joke at all!

Guess what I've got!

I'm still waiting for Gilgamesh to lose his life to some kind of online game. Even if it was hilarious! I will not be sated until I have what I want! When I want it!

I'm so mature...

He loses his life to Skyrim. Almost literally.

Not an online game.

Even though nothing would be more awesome than playing Skyrim online. Even if 99% of the time would be spent digging through all the penis-themed enchanted weapons the last mofo you killed made.

Hate Shinji? You'll love this.

Caution, it's M and a little explicit. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5391537/1/Schadenfreude

I'm working on a group of one-shots for Fate/Stay Night, and I wanna run a few ideas by people. 1) Instead of summoning Counter Gaurdian EMIYA she gets the genuine Heroic Spirit Shirou Emiya, who didn't become a CG and regret everything and want to kill his past self.

2) I read on the Nasu-wiki that with her Imaginary Numbers Origin, Sakura would actually have been better at jewel craft than Rin. Thus: the story of Sakura Tohsaka and Rin Matou. Switch what happens to them, but keep their temperaments, so Rin isn't a broken shell by what Zouken and Shinji do (I can actually see her rebelling by going BDSM mistress on Shinji in revenge) and Sakura shares her magecraft with Shirou much earlier, since she'd have to talk to him about it as he's a magus and she's the Second Owner.

Oh god, which moron put that there? Sakura was given away precisely because her Origin has absolutely awful affinity with Thosaka magecraft.

Actually, it's sourced from a quote from Fate/Zero. The narration claims that while Sakura is a better magus than both Kariya and Byakuya, it also says that she'd be better off using the Tohsaka magics than the Matou ones

Nothing about jewel craft or her origin, that was just the other guy jumping to conclusions.

She would be better of using Thosaka magecraft than Matou yes, but not better than Rin. She simply has even worse compatibility with Matou magecraft than Thosaka one.

The basis of Thosaka magecraft is energy transfer thingy, which works great for Rin who can use all the elements, but for Sakura with her unusual and exotic Origin... no such luck. That's the problem with having such rare power: few magecrafts were created to take advantage of it.

I checked, and the wiki mentions nothing about her being able to use it better than Rin.

But yes, what you say makes sense.

Wait, I thought Sakura was given away because, since only the first child gets to inherit the Magic Crest per Magus culture (as long as they stay alive, that is), Tokiomi cannot afford to instruct Sakura in the ways of Magecraft since he already has to and has invested so much into Rin, regardless of whether or not Sakura may be a better choice in terms compatibility with the family's style.

It's not really the oldest child, it's the most talented one.

Probably both. Work in preparing Rin already had started, so Tokiomi was going to give Sakura away anyway. Her having a power that made her less compatible with the Tohsaka magics than Rin was probably just further incentive.

Or that too.

One would think that he'd realize that having more people researching would yield better and faster results, but then again, IIRC magecraft gets weaker the more people there are using it, so what the hell...

What are the odds that Tokimi gave Sakura away because her face unnerved him? (I'm sorry but chibi-Sakura is creepy.)

I think it had more to do with he could only pass down the Tohsaka Magic Crest to one of them, and he didn't want them to fight and wanted them to both become successful magi.

That too.

This is just bad practice. 'Cause it leaves Rin with absolutely no assistants whatsoever. Of course, there's Kirei, but then again, Kirei. You don't leave your daughter alone with the guy named 'Demon Ghost', do you?

I think we established that Tokiomi is a horrible judge of character.

(That, and no one knew that Kirei was bad news at the time.)

I think the plan was that Tokiomi himself would tutor her, but he got a bad case of the death.
