And then we stopped him because we like being alive and his plan would have turned us into immortal idiots that wouldn't be able to grasp complex concepts like "Love" or "Hate". Like somekind of Human Instramentality, except there wouldn't even be anything left to act as a testament that humans ever existed.

Chaldea's actions against Goetia didn't have this much philosophical argument over it. Goetia just tried to kill and replace us with a new Better(little trademark) humanity and everyone went against it because the new humanity's creation would require the old one to die. Simple as that.

Yup. It's kind of the mirror of why Goetia strikes Ritsuka after he's turned human, despite knowing that there's no way for him to win anymore since the Demons have already started killing themselves; even if it's hopeless, even if you're up against a god, Goetia is a human now, and humans don't go gentle into that good night. It's just that Chaldea's situation only started hopeless.

@Hail: "BAH GAWD" is the Catchphrase of WWE's hammiest commentator, Jim Ross (JR). His commentary has a habit of making anything in a match entertaining.

Mordred getting stacked as she ages wouldn't be weird. Artoria did.

I think a Mordred Alter could work if, as some have stated, they play with a possible self-hatred angle after her success.

Imagine that Mordred won at the Battle of Camlann: From the get-go, Excalibur would probably refuse to be wielded by her as the sword has not been tainted by the grail to change into Excalibur Morgan, becoming a massive blow to her self-esteem; then she would have to deal with Morgan Le Fay, who she would also have to kill as it's likely she would use her as a puppet king to run Camelot to the ground.

Then, she has to deal with the incoming waves of Anglo-Saxons that kept coming during the Barbarian Invasions, as well as encrounching by the Picts from the north and maybe Irish from the west. All while having no one upon whom to relly on as no member of the Round Table would accept her as their new king.

And so, not only does she deal with an impossible task, but also has to live in the constant shadow of Artoria, whom she would never be able to truly measure due to her status as a bastard and as a kinslayer.

Thus, the Knight of Treachery, now King of Britain, betrayed by her mother and her very existence, is betrayed by her own wish, leaving behind an embittered person who cannot see any ray of hope in her realm, fighting for the rest of her life with the gnawing knowledge in her heart that, no matter how long she rules, how hard she fights or toils for Camelot, she will forever remain in the shadow of her father. Unfit. Unwanted. Unaccepted.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.

Alright, I thought I'd love Ishtar more than Ereshkigal. I really did. But then Eresh started popping up in the story and I absolutely adore her.

I know who I'm saving SQ for after Tamamo and Merlin.

Well at least you have a whole year. I'll start saving up for next year Christmas after I (hopefully) get Ishtar, and although I am tempted to pull on different banners, I'm honesty not dying to have most of the new Servants coming out next year.

Don't catch you slippin' now.

I still need an SSR Archer and Berserker. But I grailed Tamacat to 90 (and plan on grailing her to 100 eventually) so I'm probably good on the Berserker front anyway. And I have Chloe, so I probably dont need an SSR Archer anyway but one would be nice.

I guess I need a better assassin than MHX, buuuut I like her too much to use anyone else. Besides Shiki, anyway, who's kinda really good.

Buuuuut I have enough top-tier servants that I doubt I even "need" anyone else. I can already complete all end-game content for the foreseeable future.

I may try to reclaim that Okita from my lost account, but who knows. It's sounding like I'll be saving Quartz for the whole year.

I don't really think Mordred could have an Alter. Knight of Rebellion is her thing. What hidden dark side does she actually have?

Maybe her Alter would bring out her more cold and calculating aspects of her personality?

I don't know that much about Mordred, admittedly, but it could sort of be like a reverse Alter type thing.

Mordred doesn't really have a cold, calculating side? Maybe her Alter would be focused on how she's really good at paperwork.

Also, no no, not more Lily Servants. Rose Servants! Adult Wu Zetian! Adult Marie!

Also also, reading through Babylon on Youtube to see the stuff I missed. I didn't know Ishtar recognized Fou for what he was as well.

Literally everyone does except Ritsuka and Mash. It's kind of weird, really, especially as Mash, having partial access to Galahad's memories, should at least be able to recognize the Cath Palug (who might or might not be an entire species of magical beasts in the Nasuverse, don't think it was ever made clear).

But anyway, for next year the ones I'm planning to try and go for are Passionlip, Emiyalter, Suzuka, Realistic Old Man, Circe, Sheba and First Hassan. And give a try on the Swimsuits 2018 units because Heavens knows these years versions interest me as much as watching bamboo grow.

...blimey, but that seemed like as much smaller list in my head.

[up]Adult Ushiwakamaru! I want to see if she really measures up to her predecessor in the, ahem, "talent" department.

The post for Fate/Requiem describes it as 'a story after the Grail War' and deals with the main character, Erice, and 'the last summoned one in the world', just called Boy.

I have no idea what I'll do with myself after that.

#29623: Dec 17th 2018 at 5:37:57 AM

Oh, I'd love to roll for Holmes too, but I have a personal rule to never roll for 5*.

First Hassan is the exception because an entire year worth of Summoning Tickets has to get me at least a single copy of the dude.

As for "Requiem", apperently it's about some Top 10-esque city where everyone has a Servant, one "bounded to them by fate", whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.

Edit: So I just found out that Florence, the Nutter Nurse, was really fond of cats in live, and now I want fanart of her petting Atalanta Alter while the latter takes a nap.

Damn my lack of drawing skills!
