Being a teacher is like being a dad, right?

Ask Waver :V
"And you thought I was the most fitting person to ask abo-"
*All the other Servants who'd know anything about being a father flash through his mind*
"...On second thought, I see the logic in your idea. It pains me, but I do see it," Lord El-Melloi finishes, burying his head in his hands while holding back a whimper.
 
The sad part is, from what little we know of Rehoboam's ability and personality compared to Mordered and Connla, it is entirely likely that Cu and Arturia legitimately do have good advice for him on child rearing.
 
Pray Blackbeard, or this Kaleidoscope for that matter never finds out abour Prisma Illya.
 
Medea- Ended up ganking a large portion of her family so asking for her advice would probably be as bad if not worse than asking Artoria.
Actually, she was trying to make her kids immortal when the she was messed up when someone tried to lynch her. Then her post-Jason legend mostly emphasises trying to be a good parent and getting her son/s a position of power. She's a villain in Theseus' story because he'd take her kid's place after all. She even success eventually, her son Medus takes control of Colchis with her help, and names a region after his mom.
 
And Rehoboam died of old age, but was an incompetent ass. Being a good parent means more than spoiling them and keeping them alive.

Being a good parent also means making sure that they don't wind up dying as a direct result of your own actions.

When it comes to legends, most heroes are crap at parenting, they just happen to be crap in many different ways. Plus, neither Cú nor Artoria actually raised their children so they're still not the ones to go to.

Cu probably knows enough to know he might not be the best choice for advice. He's self aware like that.
 
"KANA YOU STUPID THOT WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
*perks up*
"What"... or "Who"? I mean, I have suspicions about Kana spending so much time inside Gil's "Gates of Babylon"....

the spatial disjunctional space used for more impressive exercises,
(Cu and Gil's epic hatefucks "wrestling matches.")

everyone heard Ritsuka Tohsaka's agonised wail.
And, somewhere, d'Eon makes a note: "Ritsuka's a screamer, bring a gag."

his sister, the infamous Kana Tohsaka, punched him in the face and into the wall behind him.
I feel that the "literally INTO" part of that shouldn't even need to be said/clarified. Because Kana knows how to throw a punch! She sets her feet! She gets her hips into it! She swivels the torso into the punch! And given Kana's hips and torso, that's aOH GOD RITSUKA NOT THE FACE

you BEWITCHING MEGATHOT!"
"bewitching," you say. We'll just make another little note on this suspiciously Chart-shaped object then? (Yes, we will.)

She throws another punch on reflex but Ritsuka throws her to the ground instead.
...I can SENSE Swordo glaring at me through the screen right now, so we'll just skip all... you know what, it's not important how many jokes I have about Ritsuka throwing Kana to the ground. What's important is that I'm not making them! Yet.

"I just showed him one series how did it go so wrong."
...what fucking series did you SHOW him, Kana? What trash barrel did you dig into? How much did you scrape the bottom? WHAT. WAS. I-
"YOU SHOWED HIM FUCKING EROMANGA SENSEI!"
KANA, YOU THOT, YOU DIDN'T EVEN SCRAPE THE BOTTOM, YOU PUNCHED THROUGH IT INTO THE SEWER BELOW

...and now I have a hole in my ceiling, you jerk!

Humanity died in 2026 to the Incineration

In all likelihood they deserved it, the fucking deviants
*coughs*
*tugs nervously at collar*
Yes. Th-they sure did, those d-deviants. Hey, is that a demonic duck?! *flees*​

Mashu Kyrielight, Demiservant Shielder and the most precious secretary one could have,
So... do I make the Secretary jokes now, or... no? I can sense from your expressions it should be "no."

...I'll wait until she's helping Ritsuka, then. It'll happen eventually. We all know it will.

Considering the stamina someone gifted with the powers of a Servant should have - that is to say infinite stamina
"infinite," you say.
...my god, maybe it's better Mashu turned him down. Ritsuka wouldn't survive the first night!

No, wait. d'Eon will be there to take up the slack. Everything will be fine!

Blackbeard is currently under control.
"We're showing him Sekirei!"

And we have Leonidas guarding the passages into the Women's Bunks.
....
I... I... I can't. So many... TOO many.... Just... I can't.

She shakes her head vigorously and her hair goes everywhere.
So, it's official: Mashu sheds. I now have a mental image of people finding purple hair all over the place and mentally grumbling. (...as they try to figure out WHO'S HAIR IT IS. I think length would be the best bet?)

...oh my god, they have showers. They have to, right? WHO CLEANS THE HAIR CLOGS OUT? ...oh, who am I kidding, we all know it's Ritsuka. God, no wonder he's always so pissy. Look at the amount of hair some of these people have! Keeping the drains clear would be a 23/7 job!

She flicks through the channels, a different 3D projection flickering over his desk - most of them showing scenes of Blackbeard's rampage or the aftermath
(Luckily, she didn't see either of the channels devoted to the showers. For... security purposes.)

just as Ritsuka punches through his sister's shitty projections and nails her straight in the throat.
So... for the record... I can now officially, by Word of God, state that Ritsuka has "nailed" Kana.

You can never take this from me, Swordo. Never ever.

"See?!" Mashu wails. "You need to stop them! They'll just hurt each other!"
Well... who would you LIKE them to hurt instead? Gil doesn't seem the type, d'Eon seems more the "psychological torture" kind, Archer is... Archer, and Cu... yeah, okay. It's Cu. Cu would totally be down for it.

...god dammit, Cu. You ruined my whole "Eliminate everyone except Mashu" joke!

Ritsuka's been very pent up, and Kana needs to learn a lesson.
I've... read a number of stories that include someone being very... "pent up," it's true. Some of them ALSO feature someone "learning a lesson."

Perhaps Mashu just needs to read them so she'll understand that these things happen and it's a natural part of life?

She shakes her head again. "No, that's not true! They're just going to force themselves apart!"
You're right, Mashu. You OBVIOUSLY need to step in and force them TOGETHER. Maybe lock them in a broom closet until they make up? That's a classic! I figure seven minutes should do it.

"You're taking things too seriously," the doctor says gently.
"And that's Ritsuka's job."

"Why don't you wait here for them, Mashu? They're bound to show up here eventually, once their spat is over!"
"Once they've stopped fighting and tearing up each other's outfits, getting all breathless and sweaty and... Mashu? You've gone all flushed. Are you oka- aaaaand she's fainted."

Why did I think you'd do anything, you never do anything…
Mashu. Mashu, dear sweet smashable Mashu....

Are you angry at Roman here... or RITSUKA? (I know which one *I* believe!)

Like she stepped on his heart and it shattered. With her armoured heels.
...and now we know more about what Roman's into.

This is a disgusting line of thought but the point is he feels empty inside.
*cough*ManDothProtestTooMuch*cough*

"I know, it was the right call… but does Mashu hate me?" He sighs and slumps his shoulders forward. "She hates me, doesn't she?"
God dammit, Roman! We only have enough room on this cast for ONE person who's full of anxiety about how Mashu feels about them and that's Ritsuka! Snap out of it! Get over it and-
"There are fathers in Chaldea! I could just ask for their advice!"
-don't do THAT! For the love of god, DON'T DO THAT.

"STOP IT! MY HEAD IS ONLY FOR NON-VIOLENT ANIMALS!"
*puerile giggle*

Ask for parenting advice. From some heroes.

Excellent idea.
I mean... on the scale of "Invade Russia in Winter" to "Pour your orange juice in your cereal instead of milk", I'd say it's firmly BELOW "Get Blackbeard hooked on incest anime" but ABOVE "Don't listen to the waiter when they say a 10 is really hot."

"I have a what? No, that doesn't sound right."

Is Eromanga-sensei really that big of a deal to show to Blackbeard?

I might need to go see it myself just to see what the big fuss is about.
On the one hand, I enjoy other people's suffering.
On the other hand, the FBI are already plenty busy these days.
On the gripping hand, I... actually I probably shouldn't use that reference when talking about an anime that makes a plot point out of a naked fourteen year old girl playing piano. Damn you, Mote in God's Eye!

Anyways, point is: It's trash.
 
...oh my god, they have showers. They have to, right? WHO CLEANS THE HAIR CLOGS OUT? ...oh, who am I kidding, we all know it's Ritsuka. God, no wonder he's always so pissy. Look at the amount of hair some of these people have! Keeping the drains clear would be a 23/7 job!
I'd put my money on Da Vinci creating some ridiculous device to deal with that problem.
 
Being a good parent also means making sure that they don't wind up dying as a direct result of your own actions.

When it comes to legends, most heroes are crap at parenting, they just happen to be crap in many different ways. Plus, neither Cú nor Artoria actually raised their children so they're still not the ones to go to.

Among the servants who MIGHT be good at parenting:
Rama, also, at least worked as a role model for his children Lava and Kusha. Not that it's much help since there is no way he's going to be summoned yet. Plus we don't know if they'd even exist in this timeline.
Both Arjuna and Karna were also better parents than the current set, due to actually having their children last until they were mature enough to take part in the kuruksetra war.
David, for all his flaws at least managed to have his child live long enough to succeed him.
It is a genuine pity that sir Ector and sir Kay have not been made available, since they practically raised Arturia.
Hector is also a relatively good example.
 
Amusingly enough, Arturia may in fact be a good choice. It's been years since she went through UBW and was force-fed a cartload of Character Development and she's become an English teacher, right ? Or am I confusing this story with another one ?
Anyway, she helped raised Kana and Ritsuka, so she's got some experience and she probably put a lot of though on how she went wrong with Mordred as part of dealing with her past guilt.

No, that was the job Taiga got for her in this fic.
 
Isn't the whole incineration of Humanity due to David and the Kingdom of Israel never giving Solomon a proper childhood, making him terrible at interactions? Not entirely sure he's the best choice.
No, it was because the 72 demons that Solomon summoned had a different idea of fixing humanity (wipe them all out and start again) than Solomon.

No, not quite. The problem is that Solomon for FGO was merely "god's vessel" or "God's mouth" Solomon had no "will" no "freedom" he was for all intents and purposes a sock puppet, God just shoved his hand and moved him.

I was referring to the one chance that Solomon had to stop them from taking that path, which he fucked up because apparently people skills aren't considered to be important to be King.

To be fair, that was only after Solomon was foolish enough go ask God for wisdom; childhood prior to that point was normal.
 
Nope, it's spelled out that he'd never had a proper childhood in the epilogue of Salomon, that's why he wanted to be Dr Roman, he never experienced being "Human", before becoming a Hero, unlike many other Servants.
Odd, the ingame character bio refers to the asking for wisdom thing.

That I do not know. I only know that when he was alive he entrusted the demons to protect humans, but where Solomon accepted humans, faults and all, Goetia, the demon hivemind born of the 72 demons possessing Solomon's dead body, could not look past them, so they decided to perfect humanity with the Human Order Incineration.

He asked for wisdom, but he was born with very profound Clairvoyance. Asking for wisdom came much later and was manifested as the 10 rings of Solomon.

He did, but when the Demons once asked why he did nothing, despite also witnessing all the suffering of mankind, past, present and future. When they said it was meaningless, he replied with "not at all" and left it at that, thus causing them to gain the opinion that he was a cruel and slothful king.

It was funny, in it's own way. That was almost GEoM levels of poor communication skills there. Seriously it's almost as bad as the lead up to the Monarchia incident.
