Summer shenanigans

[kurozu501]

i cant get over how i did not care about baobhan sith at all and then that reveal about her comes at the very end that reframes everything about her and now i just feel like crying whenever i think about her.

suddenly everything makes sense, how clumsy and inept her cruelty is, how easily manipulated by beryl she was, how the first time she and castoria met she was weirdly friendly. because that's the real her. because in that moment she didnt know castoria was her enemy she was just a stranger who treated her as an equal and baobhan sith naturally responded in kind. because baobhan sith is the kindest fairy. because even when told to be cruel her true nature slips out so easily.

there's a lot we can learn about the experiences of james moriarty (ruler), like how sitting in an evil throne (work chair) for hours on end can set up evil things to happen later (spinal cord disk degeneration)

[hassiegfrieddoneanythingwrong]

Summer 9 line-up is revealed, with Classes this time (mostly). They are:

Ciel, aka Mystery Agent C.I.E.L (5 star, Moon Cancer)

Dobrynya Nikitich (4 star, Lancer)

Xu Fu (4 star, Avenger)

BB Dubai (most likely Kazuradrop in disguise) (5 star, Moon Cancer)

Tenochtitlan (4 star, Moon Cancer)

Mystery Heroine XX Alter (4 star, Foreigner)

Also, this event will be technically two months long, since it's going to be combined with OC3, a limited chapter (again?!) written by Nasu. It'll be released in three parts like Avalon, and most likely focused on the Moon Cancer Class. It'll also give out a Servant (most likely the Summer Welfare) once completed, and will be moved to Main Interlude at a later point. It's also been stated that there'll be other events going on during this time period (most likely evocation festival/interlude drops/some other campaigns).

Now I’m Not Saying That I Should Be Allowed To Design Servants For Fate, But....

Summer Unit, Caster Chiron has Arrived! As the immortal Caretaker and Teacher of Mount Pelion, there’s little doubt that he knows all the tips and tricks to survive a coastal month in the sun. What’s that? The Constellation is wrong? Sagittarius? Don’t be silly, Chiron’s always embodied the Constellation Centaurus. Always.

Costume Dress(es), Individual Stills for the new Sprites (Asc 3), Notes, and Taglist below the cut :)

That "Always" bit is meant to be somewhat ominous which hints at the whole "rewriting and creating heroes" idea in my last post about this Eternal Summer Stage event.

And if i am to be 100% honest, I don't quite like the final result still in terms of the toga, however, I know that if I keep working on it it will never get done and that's just the way that artists are lol. The effects and everything else though? Beyond what I was even expecting for it to turn out as.

Anywho.

In terms of design, I was mostly just going for the "Dad who has the Cooler" with a casual look for the first two designs and the costume dress really isn't a drastic change either just being called Hatless. The final ascension was a more divine feel where you get that connection with the stars and space that Chiron has due to his constellations. The Costume change there is just "Divine Blessing". I honestly couldn't pick between the two colors so. Costume Dress.

So. Anyways. Each of the stars in the final ascension design are the major "Centauri" stars within Centaurus, the Constellation that Chiron/his NP is embodying here rather than Sagittarius.

The large star that Chiron has in hand is Theta Centauri, also called Menkent, and then the ones on the staff are Alpha-Gamma Centauri.

The top three stars are Alpha Centauri or Rigil Kentaurus and Toliman, and Proxima Centauri. The three make up the full Alpha Centauri as the two blue stars are a binary system that Proxima orbits

The middle two are Beta Centauri or Hadar and Agena, another binary star pair

The lower two are Gamma Centauri which is another binary star group but are unnamed

Actually, the myth of Centaurus is a little wonky because certain texts refer to Centaurus as the Father of all Centaurs and the constellation is because he put an image of himself in the sky where others point to it being the other constellation that Zeus turned Chiron into instead of Sagittarius. Honestly, I'm more inclined to the latter due to conflicting texts about mount Pelion and the Centaurs themselves as it's implied that Chiron was already on Pelion before the other Centaurs arrived in some texts

("The Kentauroi were spawned by the cloud-nymph Nephele after she was violated by the impious Lapith king Ixion. She deposited her double-formed brood on Mount Pelion where they were nursed by the daughters of the immortal kentauros Kheiron (Chiron).")

So at least in this/my version of Myth/Fate, Centaurus is Chiron as a Caster and Healer but no less a teacher, rather than the more combat-ready and "war-like" Sagittarius.

I don't have everything mapped out, but I do have skills and NP sorta created, if I actually ever get to the full thing, who is to say lmao.

1st Skill: Seaside Planning

Buffs Healing Skill (self), Attack up (all units)

2nd Skill: Teacher's Guiding Hand

Target Focus (1 turn), Invincibility (1 turn), Defense up for all units, Battlefield change to Forest

3rd Skill: Blessing of Artemis / Blessing of Apollo (costume change)

Applies "Blessings of the Moon" or “Blessings of the Sun” to all units ( Defense Up, Heal Per Turn, NP gain Up, Crit Up)

Noble Phantasm: Hunt of Lupus: Protector of Mount Pelion | Quick

Rank: A NP Type: Anti-Personnel Range: 5-99 Maximum Targets: 1

A single target Noble Phantasm much like Antares Snipe, however, while Sagittarius uses a bow, Centaurus uses his staff to sweep through and pierce the body of Lupus. This is the story of Chiron. However, here, his job is not finished. The slaying of "Lupis" ends, and thus the Teacher and protector of Pelion returns to those he protects and tends to them.

At its base, one could call it the Single Target version of Geronimo's Tsago Degi Naleya in which it deals damage and heals the party after.

"Entrust to me the stars and my Guiding hand shall lead you, o watchmen of the night. I encircle myself twice with the seven heavenly bodies so that I may continue my role among the stars. You who has woken me, fall. Hunt of Lupus."

Truth be told, still workshopping the Noble Phantasm, but it's fine, it's out there as a concept. It's a lot like Antares Snipe though, I guess? Because I did want to lean into the Greek and Constellation side of things and just. Oh well. Originally, though, I was going to make Chiron and Chariclo one Servant, and then have their Noble Phantasm be Chariclo's ("Lifeblood of Mount Pelion") but then split them up because idk I enjoy hell. They're both casters though, because I refuse to put more Rulers into the already bloated Ruler cast.

I do not have voice lines at the moment despite the fact that I have all of Chariclo and all of Agravain's finished lol

Thought I should post this here too aside from twt

Grumpy summer Oberon costume my room line tl:

"You think I look good in a swimsuit? Hahahaha~ Thanks for the heartfelt and unimportant feedback~...

... Fuck you! You think I like wearing it? Fuck the summer, fuck the ocean! The King of Insects doesn't swim because he's afraid of drowning.

He'll just watch the master swim like a fool on a white beach.

Hmm? I'd rather hear what you think than complain... Because? Well... Your swimsuit is better than your battle suit."

[sunmaylight]

It just occurred to me.

Douman’s artist and FGO team gave the guy three different outfits like ascensions. We could have gotten him as a summer variant Servant, but instead we just get one as a Spiritron Dress

Not that I’m complaining but also the opportunity was literally right there with the Spiritron Dress portrait as the Final Ascension portrait

My gacha luck can be really funny sometimes

(Hi there please no spoilers I haven’t finished Agartha yet!!!)

was that goodbye necessary

[dopplerdora]

Friendly reminder that we will be getting Sex Blackbeard soon. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this.

[fiannalover]

Robin Hood and Castoria become fast friends in Chaldea because she heard of his reputation and hoped for a kindred spirit and although he still thinks it's a bit weird for someone with the face of the royals to compliment him the fact she's a fairy means he warms up to her fast and gets along with her better than with humans

But.

Everytime they hang out. There is a bar fight.

Or something with the spirit of a bar fight.

It doesn't matter if they're in a podunks 4 house settlement in the middle of prohibition era America or in the crusades or whatever. Something somehow will happen to them that a bystander will pass by and scoff dismissively and be like "what is that, a bar fight"
