#also if u get my robin tag ref i will LOVE you forever

[strangefellows]

ok, have some time, might as well go on my ramble about cu/robin

like, look, even if we don’t really see them interact much in chaldea (at least i haven’t, but i’ve only been playing for a year, if i missed an event where they talked tell me PLS) they have great chemistry???

like both of them are these chill, kinda sassy, mostly laid back kind of guys who either roll with things or are the ones going HEY NO WAIT A MINUTE WHAT THE FUCK???? and they’re also both kind of butt monkeys very often -- see: carnival phantasm/grand carnival and a whole lot of events + ccc and seraph and anything to do with bb -- that get their whole days ruined constantly by ridiculous shenanigans

BUT also they’re both the types that act very chill and laid back and well adjusted but also carry a whole lot of deep seated trauma they really don’t talk about most of the time or act like they have. cu has having to literally murder ferdiad (cu absolutely boned ferdiad i don’t make the rules) and poor connla, and like, okay, potentially unpopular opinion but to me m.edb is like the driver of cu’s trauma van (chariot?) here, she started that war that got so many of cu’s people killed, and the fateverse establishes the child troops’ death was canon so there’s that, and also i’m sorry but the way she acts towards cu is Very uncomfortable to me so there’s that, and also she literally had him killed in a v nasty way. so, like, he has all that, and he apparently says he really doesn’t hold much of a grudge except for those kids, but that is still a lot to carry, like look at cu alter that’s another aspect of cu he HAS that in him, so. and on robin’s end jesus h christ i read his extra profile and wanted to CRY. he was a kid, he can’t be older than like 20something, and he did his best and he was betrayed and murdered after only two years, and like, the part in his bio where it talked about how the villagers bullied him for his dad’s druid stuff, like, bruh, this boy is a sad mess. 

not to mention that it’s shown cu remembers emiya and gil and shit so probably remembers ubw so probably also remembers kirei forcing him to self terminate and you CANNOT tell me that’s not a little traumatizing

so both of them carry all this Shit they don’t really talk about but that is def heavy; robin does let it slip a lil easier ie his interlude and once or twice in extra/ccc (cu seems a little harder a nut to crack most of the time it looks like, but i’m a casual so), and they act all chill and cool older bro like and laid back, and they’re also butt monkeys that tend to be some of the first to point out the absurdity of things, they’re VERY similar and would work very well together

also cu is irish/can be a druid-like figure ie cascu, and it’s stated robin’s dad is a druid and that there is a connection as well!

also ALSO robin’s first appearance was in america, with cu alter, and seeing that whole ass Mess and then meeting cu properly would be very fun to explore.

look i just think they’d be really cute okay. let them vibe together and fish and cuddle and be a sassy duo.
