In most cases, RL or Fiction, put your dick in the crazies was a stupid-ass decision.
In case of Irish Myth, put your dick in the crazies was a smart decision.

Long story short, the entire reason there was a shitlong feud between Mebd and Ulster is because Cu went fuck off when she asked to sleep with him. Anyone who was anyone slept with Mebd at least once. The idea someone who was someone hadn't slept with her was unnatural.
Wouldn't Cu have wound up killing his own son regardless of that?

Completely different issue tied to a really badly worded geis.

Cu might end up making more Geis while in Chaldea, and eventually Medea is forced to Rule Breaker him in exchange for several... thousand favors.

Don't do it. The power of a Cu without the severe spiritual weakening of the several hundred geis he's already broken will single handedly eat your entire plot. Cu will become so powerful his breathing will move mountains.
Or something like that.

Medea: "What is this? 'I cannot compliment Kana on her amazing butt'?"
Cu: "Please, just take it off! Otherwise my life will be incomplete!"
I fail to see the problem with this
More seriously though, could probably get away with making the broken geises that are part of his legend stick around due to being an essential part of who he is rather than a curse affecting his Servant body.
I'm down with it. Irish Hercules Unleashed, get that Colchisian hottie and her dagger ready and let's do this!
"Medb, stop antagonizing other female Servants. Abby, stop bringing... friends ...from... Outside. Nagisa, stop crying. We had cheese. Ask Khrisna."
You know, my impression of geis is that you became strong by limiting yourself through oaths and restriction. If you broke said oaths and restriction, you became weaker. So stabbing him with Rule Breaker would actually makes him weaker.

Right, but Cu already broke his oaths, so not only is he not getting power from them, he's also incurring a penalty. Rule Breaker wouldn't restore the bonuses from those oaths, but it would set the penalties back to zero, at which point Cu could possibly choose new oaths to

Indeed, this. Techbane!Rin is a non-canon omake. I hate seeing people who pollute otherwise excellent fics with the incorrect assumption that Rin really /is/ that hopeless.

Rin is hopeless because she's not interested in technology, coupled with a good deal of plain clumsiness. By the time she has children, Rin has become comfortable enough with technology that she's generally alright with basic appliances, though she still complains about smartphones and the like even while being envious about their incredible versatility. She still makes mistakes on occasion due to being clumsy, which usually ends in someone bullying her.
Ritsuka, meanwhile, is proficient with technology, and very much enjoys having a smartphone. He's still his mother's son, though, and a combination of having-other-priorities and plain bad luck ensures that he never keeps the same phone for longer than... say, a year.

More likely to wreck their own smartphones in the midst of combat, or misplace them out of absent-mindedness?
Addendum: If the quintet ever visited Fuyuki before 2026 (Heaven's Feel #6 in 2014?), what were Ayako and Issei's reactions?

Shirou is very good at keeping his things together, and being a handyman himself is very good at fixing it when it does break.
Kana, being Kana, is not nearly so careful with her phone, but she's also able to use Structural Analysis (useless it may be for anyone without Unlimited Blade Works) and has some technical proficiency... And also the ear of daddy to fix her shit for her when she asks nicely.
Arturia has a phone. She is extremely careful with it, and is constantly intrigued by these 'apps' that can do just about anything. Losing her smartphone is amongst her top ten laments upon her incarnation in Chaldea.
Now I'm tempted to ask Arturia's opinion on the Great British Bake Off. Does she feel sad because she can't eat any of it? Does she pester Shirou with recipes and requests to replicate things from the show? Is she just happy because now there are, after 1500 years, good tasting sweets in England?
Another great question would be if she managed to attend the British Royal Wedding of the century?
Mostly this, I believe. Although she might laments that French and Austria hoard all the good, sweet pastries (at least Cornwall Pasties are a thing....).
Cu however wouldn't let her forget that Shepherd's Pie is his.
Nope. And probably for the best.

I must admit, I do feel somewhat comforted by number 1. As a writer, I can feel somewhat safe bending the rules of the Nasuverse. But not too far.
Nasu-verse rules are kind of there to be broken. And I mean that literally. Because bending/breaking/finding loopholes in the rules is how everything works in Type-Moon. It's just a matter of what rules and how badly you're fucking them over.

Indeed. I assume Nasu's thought process regarding the rules went something like this:
"Ok, I've created entire universe with elaborate, unique, strict rules. This is exactly how the world works, no exceptions. Now, how do I break these rules..."
I suspect he actually doing it backwards.

Nasu's works have an undercurrent of 'fuck the system' and 'human spirit triumphs' so it's not surprising that the base system has overly strict rulesets, or that his heroes have abilities that let them violate or ignore those rules.
