[salemsakamoto]

Caesar is technically my oldest F/O regarding years. He’s like. 2,000 but Fate logic he got summoned as younger so he can look somewhere in his 20s.

With the recent Ordeal Call 1 support clear campaign, Kama and Prince of Lanling have gotten rank-ups.

Kama's NP damage has been buffed from 1200-2000% to 1600-2400% and now has a charm special attack modifier (so her new NP damage is 1600-2400% + 150%).

Lanling's second skill increases the NP gauge from 10-20% to 20-30%, increases the buff success rate from one turn to three turns and changes it from one ally to all allies, and gains 10-20 crit stars.

Also, part two of the weekly Saber banner is here, with the following:

Saber Astolfo, Prince of Lanling, Gaius Julius Caesar

Dioscuri, Lakshmi Bai, Saber Gilles de Rais

ooc./ Encima, el sueño explicaba que Joseph es un buen sujeto pero quizás el error fue del autor hacer que se casara.

     Buen padre pero pésimo esposo, quizás hubiese sido mejor que no se casase pero, considerando los años dónde transcurrió la historia, quizás si se hubiese casado por el compromiso de haber dejado claramente en cinta a Suzie. Pero, creo, que ese amor romántico se pudo haber transformado con el pasar de los años en un cariño sincero donde claro, sigue amándola pero no de esa manera sensual que tienen las relaciones románticas. Sino un amor más puro, aquel de compañerismo y gran amistad, de cierta forma.

     Pero si creo que Suzie se hubiera enojado por la infidelidad con Tomoko, no por la infidelidad en sí; porque yo creo que ya hablaron que son como muy viejos para divorciarse pero tampoco es que van por ahí explicando que siguen casados porque era mucho papeleo y, la verdad, no queda tan bien visto que se divorcien a esas alturas (según ellos), entonces seguían casados en papel por costumbre pero cada uno podía hacer su vida. Siento que Suzie se enojó por el producto de la infidelidad, Josuke, porque cómo diablos se le ocurre a Joseph ser un padre presente para una hija, Holly, hija del matrimonio y no para Josuke, que encima de ser hijo bastardo era justamente el único varón. Si, que haga lo que quiera pero que si va a tener un hijo entonces minimo se haga responsable.

     Algo asi soñe que explicaba. Pero también estaba el añadido de que yo hablaba de como Joseph probablemente siempre sufrió de estar en el closet, o al menos, era consciente de su atracción a hombres pero, dado en la época que se crió, no logró deconstruirse hasta ser un adulto mayor y, aún así, sólo se dio cuenta que si bien encontraba atractivo a otros hombres no sintió esa atracción agobiante y frustrante que tenía hacía Caesar quien fue su enemigo, rival, mejor amigo, y, si las cuentas cierran (y si Joseph se permite aceptarlo), muy probablemente su primer amor.

                MENTÍ, AHORA ME FALTA HIGASHIKATA TOMOKO

     ¿Por qué Tomoko, una mujer en su pleno esplendor, independiente, economicamente estable y hermosisima... tendría el hijo de un romance efimero? No nos dan suficiente información de la relación entre Joseph y Tomoko, asumo que fue linda y que Joseph se tomo su tiempo cortejandola pero Tomoko pudo haber tomado la decisión de no tener a Josuke al costo de su vida inclusive Y AÚN ASÍ... Yo voy a aplicar la lógica que me aplicaron a mi (cries): "Era un hombre que ame tanto, sabía que nunca sería mío porque estaba en sus ojos, pero también sabía que con el estilo de vida que llevaba moriría pronto, o se iría a un lugar tan lejano que yo no podría seguirlo. Pero yo quería tener evidencia de ese amor, yo quería tener nuestro amor presente y vivo, entonces naciste tú".

     Creo que, con eso, no hay mucha explicación que dar. Si me siento mal por Josuke, quién sabia que no tenía padre pero no la razón hasta que Jotaro se presentó ante él, eso de no saber nada y enterarte quién es tu padre cuando esta moribundo (o muerto).

Fated Rantings: Genderbent Silliness

This won't be the same as my well thought Fate posts but I felt the need to make it. One of the things I've learned about Fate is that it's genderbends range from marketing, trolling, and "fuck it" reasons.

So let's go over some of the ones I've learned since I started this journey.

Artoria & Shirou

The iconic duo, the mainstays, and the first ones to be genderbend in the Type-Moon meta franchise.

What drew me to Fate and this duo initially was just how accurate Artoria's backstory is to the actual Arthurian legend in real life. In fact, you'll see that a lot of Fate characters stay remarkably true to their legends even if the gender is altered.

And I'm sure you expect me to give this big breakdown on how this affected Shirou and Artoria but there isn't one. No no. Shirou and Artoria had their genders altered from the initial draft of Fate Stay Night for marketing reasons.

No joke, they swapped their genders to sell the initial release of Fate Stay Night better...which was likely a good call since the original release of FSN had hentai scenes.

The scenes were relevant to the Sakura route and the rest was just service. So to appeal to the japan market way back when they made the lead (Shirou) male and his servant (Arthur) female.

The phenomenon that is Saber exploded afterward. Saber's design is so iconic and beloved by the series artists that they actively reuse it whether the reasons be jokes or serious.

This is the trend fans refer to as "saber face".

Proto Merlin & King Arthur

Since we're on the subject of King Arthur allow me to tell you about Fate/Prototype.

You see, even though the final draft became Fate/Stay Night, the initial draft was reused later to become Fate Prototype.

What makes Fate/Prototype unique to me is that many characters who had their genders bent in FSN do not in Prototype. Arthur is as you'd expect him to be, a young man of handsome build. Same for several characters.

Well, except for Merlin. Within the Prototype universe Merlin is female. The dynamic and backstory of both king and mage are the same as they are IRl or even in FSN.

I only point this out because I find Fate/Prototype fascinating (I hope it gets a show one day) but also because the voice actors for Merlin and Arthur swap roles.

The voice for male Merlin in most Fate works voices Arthur in Prototype. While the voice for Saber in FSN voices female Merlin in Prototype.

Even here they have a bit of fun with the concept.

Nero fucking Claudius

Of all the "saberfaces" and overall genderbends in Fate I consider this one the funniest I've discovered.

The true name of Red Saber from Fate Extra is Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. Yes that one emperor, you know the one.

The sole reason Nero is female, let alone a near identical clone of Artoria, is a troll. When making Fate Extra they decided to design Nero like this solely to trick people into thinking the Saber they love was in the game.

There is no grander reason and I personally find it hilarious. I've yet to watch Extra since I'd rather play the remake when it launches but I know Nero has her own following.

I can't help but respect a troll like this.

The Genderless

Next is Enkidu. I'll admit upfront that I do not know what the logic was behind Enkidu however given how he is is written I believe it's done to be within character.

In the IRL epic of gilgamesh Enkidu is a big burly hairy wild man that is of equal strength to king Gilgamesh. He was created by the gods to reign the tyrannical king in.

Within Fate, that backstory is the same, but Enkidu is nowhere near burly nor hairy. I only refer to Enkidu as "he" for writing convenience and because Enkidu doesn't seem to care either way.

You see, Enkidu sees themselves as a tool regardless of how much Gilgamesh or the residents of Uruk say otherwise. Enkidu is also modeled from clay and is not actually human or even god at all.

The appearance Enkidu uses is modeled after the harlot sent to teach him. In the IRL myth she slept with Enkidu but given how Fate Enkidu is made it's more ambiguous.

Their feminine appearance is a way to honor this person though. This bend is neither marketing nor funny, it's more akin to a reflection of Enkidu's character and how they view themselves and thus worth noting.

"Francis Drake"

This is one I learned quite recently. Apparently the servant that presents itself as Francis Drake is actually a play on an old rumor.

See, it was rumored back in the day that Francis Drake would let Queen Elizabeth masquerade as himself and use his ship. The scar on her face is also possibly a hint at the small pox scars that Queen Elizabeth had. Both Elizabeth and this servant also have red hair.

Of course, FGO does throw out there that she was written as male in the history books because her crew could not see her as a woman. I wouldn't even be surprised if that is the answer Nasu would give.

But the parallels to queen Elizabeth and the rumors about Francis Drake letting her sail are just too funny not to bring up.

Saber of Red

I've talked a lot about Mordred before but I'm adding her here because I just find her to be a good complex character. I also won't delve into the whole debate around her since that already took two full posts dedicated to Mordred to do.

The whole reason Mordred has the physique she does is due to Mordred and Merlin's magics at work. Mordred is, in the simplest way I can explain, a homunculus/clone of Artoria and is thus female like Artoria.

BUT I do know there was concepts for a male Mordred at one point:

And a part of me kind of wishes they had stuck to this concept or reused it for one of the Fate timelines.

It would make the whole desire for the throne all the more compounded because, unlike their "father", this version of Mordred would be male and have even less reason to hide behind magics and lies like Artoria did.

It would also be interesting to see how this Mordred justifies themselves or reacts to the truth of their "father".

Though given the harsh upbringing, their idolization of Arthur, and their short lifespan, this Mordred may have been nearly identical to the one we have regardless.

Nagao Kagetora

I know next to nothing about this character both in Fate or IRL but I am adding them as my final gender bend of notice because it's oddly historical.

From what I've come to learn Nagao Kagetora was suspected to be a woman. Whether that was truth or just rumors to discredit a political rival is unknown but the Fate servant itself takes that rumor and uses it.

It's one of the few servants I know of where the altered gender may very well be a truth IRL. It's made me curious about how many there are in Type-Moon that I just do not know about due to my lacking knowledge of Japanese figures.

It also goes to show that not every servant it changed for a joke, marketing or just the writer/artists whims. Sometimes there's actual historical backing which makes that particular servant all the more interesting to research.

Yes, Francis Drake is technically similar but FGO offers an explanation. The whole Queen Elizabeth thing is just a fun parallel that might be true. Plus, both Elizabeth and Drake exist in Fate as two people.

Where as this servant possibly was a woman. Maybe they weren't, no way to know now and that makes it unique.

Finale

And that's all I got for now. There are plenty of other examples but these are the ones that have stuck out to me the most since I began watching/reading Fate.

Some servants were also just to convoluted for me to squeeze into this one post. Not for the gender swapping but their origins as demi-gods and the like. It kind of goes hand in hand.

Some servants are only a gender thanks to the body they're borrowing. Mash Kyrielight is an example of this because she's a demi-servant possessed by Galahad. Meaning she's a female version of Galahad in a loose sense.

Other servants may be from the "GUDA GUDA" side of Type-Moon which doesn't even bother to explain. If a figure is genderbend in a "GUDA GUDA" world story then that's just how that world's history unfolded.

Sakura Saber and female Nobunaga are two key examples of a "GUDA GUDA" genderbend.

Top 5 Fate blorbos NOT including Limbo.

this one made me laugh bc like, yeah limbo is my special little princess but also he is one of my many special little princesses, like i love limbo but im not The Limbo Guy, if that makes sense (i have many guys)

That said there are simply too many fate blorbos i have and no easy way to list them in a perfectly objective top 5, so I shall do something fun instead, listing them in tiers. As expected, the list expands as it goes on (not every servant listed obvs)

5. Characters who I am passively aware of. This is for characters who are somewhat relevant enough for me to like. think about

Gilles Saber, Caesar, Paris Hektor, Circe, Lu Bu, Spartacus, Eric Bloodaxe

4. Characters who I have a light inclination towards. Maybe they were useful for farming or I read their profiles and was satisfied

Jason, Billy The Kid, Oda Nobukatsu, , Tristan, William Tell, Medusa Lily, Janta Lily, Tawaru, Achilles, Wu Zetian, Cleopatra, Darius III, Kiyohime

3. Characters who I just like. I look at them and go "its the guy :)"

Senji Muramasa, Fergus, Robin Hood, Leonidas, Enkidu, Nezha, Anne-Bonny & Mary Read, Bartholomew Roberts, Red Hare, Scheherazade, Anastasia, Kyokutei Bakin, Charles-Henri Sanson, Assassin Emiya/Kerry, Ushiwakamaru, Gray, Huyan Zhuo, Penthesilea, Kijyo Koyo, Asterios

2. Characters who I love. This one is a substantial jump upwards in quality and they only have like 1-2 things missing (to me) that prevent them from being numero uno

Altera, Bedivere, Okita, Beni Enma, Sigurd, Saito Hajime, Artemis-Orion, Emiya, Atalante, Baobhan Sith, Cu Chulainn, Romulus (and Quirinus), Caenis, Vritra, Melusine, Boudica, Marie Antionette, Mandricardo, Habetrot, Dobrynya Nikitich, Hans Christian Andersen, Mata Hari, Charlotte Corday, Katou Danzo, Koyanskaya of the Light, Tezcatlipoca, Sen no Rikyu, Kriemhild, Koyanskaya of Darkness

Servant Matrix: NERO CLAUDIUS

Class: Caster

True Name: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus

Gender: Female

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Height/Weight: 150 cm / 42 kg

Source: Historical Fact, New Testament(?)

Region: Rome

ENDURANCE GAUGE: [X/X/X/X]

MANA CHARGES: [ X / X / X / X / X ]

COMMAND SPELLS: [ X / X / ]

A War Monitor for the Holy Grail War, Lucius is… or more appropriately 'was' an innocent young woman who dreamed of creating amazing works of art. Energetic and positive despite her amnesia, she worked one of the item shops present on the Solar Cell.

Once an addled young artist, then a fearsome Beast, and now... something in the middle, though leaning much closer to the beauteous heart of a polymath. Brash, bold, and bereft of shame, this is a Servant that truly represents the haughty golden glory of the Roman Empire- a harsh contrast to the reserved, faithful soldier-like nature of Constantine XI.

A selfish narcissist despite possessing a good heart, the only thing greater than Nero's ego is her desire for justice. As one of the former Servants of the Lunar Holy Grail War, she searches for what led her to become a memory-less 'War Monitor' in the first place- and why. - Nero is not much as a warrior, and while she would be most emotionally comfortable in the 'best class' (Saber), she shines as a Caster as well. With her ability to create an oppressive domain, wild magecraft that utilizes her 'musical ability' to a destructive degree, supportive abilities, delusional privilege, and her innate ties to bestial forces-- she is a true force to be reckoned with. While not as much of a hand-to-hand fighter as the others, she is truly an 'unconventional' Caster to have on board. "

Strength: D

Endurance: D

Agility: A

Mana: B

Luck: A

NP: A

SKILLS:

Riding (B) - A talent for Riding. Nero can ride beasts below the ranking of 'Sacred' or 'Mythical'... while she claims to have a true skill for riding, chariots make her butt hurt, so she avoids it when possible.

Migraine (B) - Crushing headaches inherited from her life as a Servant. Mental skills lose their efficacy against her, but her own talents are hindered on occasion.

Territory Creation (A+) - Due to expressing her talent as a magus, and being known for the construction of the Golden Theatre and taking good care of the Colosseum, she can create an incredibly beneficial territory for herself.

Item Construction (Strange) (EX) - A strange sense of aesthetics, mixed with the idea that 'she can do/create anything', allows her to create a great number of (absurd) tools.

Imperial Privilege (EX) - The rampant grandeur belonging to a Roman Emperor makes them able to do all things- especially for a polymath like Nero, as long as she can justify the ability within the (incredibly broad) scope of her mind, she can do it. However, due to her migraines, the skills leave her after a short time.

Seven Crowns (Rank Unknown) - Behold, the seven necks smoldering in the roaring sea. Earth’s amassers of fortune, it is time to pour your desire into the golden goblet. The disadvantages of her Class are rendered useless, and...

Undying Magus (A) - Magecraft taught to her by her once magus mentor, Simon Magus. It’s said that, due to her special mana, Nero as a magician can grant one-time immortality to a person and grant them physical strength like that of a beast. Unfortunately, she loses her 'Thrice Setting Sun' ability.

NOBLE PHANTASM: Aestus Domus Aurea/Laudatum Domus Illustris

The recreation of Nero's Golden Theatre (Domus Aurea), resembling a Reality Marble, developed as Nero's special method of Greater Magecraft. A domain that allows her to fulfill any and all of her aspirations with the greatest of ease, as she grows more powerful and her opponents grow weaker.

As a Servant with ties to the sea, she can also manifest this on the waterside as a massive operatic fortress, loaded with organ pipes (cannons) that unleash her singing ability (wild magecraft) to the utmost degree.

for me; Keep: Rider, Avenger, Shielder, Archer, Ruler, Caster, Assassin, Berserker, and Pretender Change: Foreigner's name to something like Outlander or Stranger (similar, but less icky meanings) Add: Tactician (heroes known for their strategical minds on the battlefield. examples being: Jeanne d'Arc, Julius Caesar, Jason of the Argonauts, etc), Brawler (heroes known for glorious melee combat. examples being: Mordred, Cu Chulainn, etc.) remove: lancer, saber, Alter Ego, and Moon Cancer
