Hmm, in the case of Blackbeard, at least in the Gacha game, I always felt that his actions were a bit... forced, as though he was playing it up as opposed to it being his natural default. This actually fits with his character. I'd say his antics are about 30% genuine perversion and 30% a deliberate ploy to be underestimated. The remaining 40% is enjoyment in playing a role, any role.

He'd probably make a good actor if brought fully into the present day. One of the really good ones.
 
Alright just got off work and immediately read this it filled me with joy to see this story updated again. Also poor roman he can never catch a break and jeanne is best girl always no one can convince me otherwise.
 
Jeanne: "God please tell me about something good about this era"

God: "Kinetic Penetrators"

Jeanne: "YES GOOD"
Intense nosebleeds. I uh, think that Jeanne should expand her horizons more.
*Jeanne enters Chaldea's chapel and begins fervently praying* "Oh, Lord, forgive me, for I have sinned. I used my authority as a Ruler to gain unrestricted access to this internet thing (hard as it was without ability to read and write(miss you Leticia)) and then... and then... I have been very, very bad girl. I have rested my eyes on images most depraved, Lord! I know it is unbeckoming of the saint, but the numbers, oh Lord! The numbers! The calculations! The specifications! Truly, if there is one thing this glorious future that we fight to reclaim did right' it was artillery. Such beautiful schematics... They laid bare before my eyes and I shamelessly drunk on the sight of this glorious progress. Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned."

:V
 
Also, his huge schoolgirl crush on Drake is also a thing, so it does show that he's more than a degenerate loli-chaser.

Per the FGO Mats, he at his core legitimately doesn't think that stuff like "love" actually exists. Basically every woman he was with when he was alive was greedy and self-centered, so his 2D degeneracy is essentially him going "well, if it doesn't exist in reality then I must turn to fantasy".

It also notes that his moral compass is entirely limited to "can I enjoy myself doing this?". If the answer is yes, no matter what "this" is, he'll go right ahead and do it. Really earning that Chaotic Evil alignment there, isn't he?
 
He likely is playing it up to freak people out, though - he knows that his "light my beard on fire and pretend to be a demon" routine isn't going to scare a bunch of heroic spirits the way it spooked superstitious pirates, so he's had to improvise a way to replicate the "intimidate" effect and "creep out and get them to underestimate" is as close as he's going to get.

It will forever be a travesty that the only glimpse of Serious Blackbeard we get is his Bond CE.

But that's not sinning. God loves cannons. If he didn't love cannons, why would he make them so good at reconnecting him with people?
 
Looking at pictures of guns is a morally neutral act. With the intention of familiarizing oneself with the marvelous results of the creative spirit which God imparted to man, it becomes a positively good act. There should be no guilt in this, except perhaps in having spent more time than was necessary and which could have been used giving soup to the homeless.

That is, if the homeless are still around and haven't been incinerated.
 
Jeanne blinks. Her expression softens. She smiles and sets her flag aside, spreading her arms wide. "Then come, lost lamb, and confess into my breasts."
That's it. I'm done. Show's over, everyone go home. We've hit the point of no return and we ain't stopping now.

I've hit peak 'I can't even' and this is all your fault, Swordo! :mad: :D

like five lines later
Jeanne tilts her head. "I don't get it. What's cleavage?"
JEANNE WHY ARE YOU SUCH A CINNAMON ROLL ARGH I DON'T EVEN LIKE F/GO MUCH AND I MUST PROTECC THE CINNAMON BUN WITH MY LIFE

Well, the historical Blackbeard was a good actor. Lot of the stuff he did, like putting firecrackers into his hair and acting like a crazy man, was done because he understood the effect that it had on people and how it would make people react. People who were scared of him and his reputation were more likely to just give up and let them be raided instead of putting up a fight.
 
Remember what God does to people who think lewd things about Joan of Arc.
Don't you mean Lewd saints in general? You shouldn't lewd Angels, Nuns and Saints.
Jeanne blinks. Her expression softens. She smiles and sets her flag aside, spreading her arms wide. "Then come, lost lamb, and confess into my breasts."
I can't help but think of a certain line from a certain fucked up Dragon Boy,
"Its like God specifically and intentionally designed her to be the living incarnation of the ultimate clueless cock tease just to fuck with everyone"
Because holy shit Jeanne could not naturally be this innocent/naive right?

IIRC, according to Columbus' interlude, apparently Blackbeard is Obfuscating Stupidity quite well. He's part of the "villains group" containing Mephistopheles, Columbus, and Moriarty, which means that he's close to Moriarty and Colombus' levels of deception, which means quite a bit.
 
Well, there is a precedent for the others. Remember Sodom? They tried to gang rape angels and were struck blind and had their city destroyed.

Don't do sexual sin, kiddos. It's not worth it.

Yeah, but the Sodomites were fucking idiots. They gathered around someone's door, demanded that they be allowed to rape the man's guests, and when that man offered his fucking daughters to the crowd they didn't stop or consider why the guy would go that far.

(Given that IIRC every single biblical depiction of an angel begins with them spending a few minutes going "no no calm down please God is with you I'm not a horrible monster" though...)

Not to mention how he kept Hector in check for most of Oceanus. While Hector was actively trying to screw him over on behalf of Jason.

Yup. Hektor even compliments him on being cleverer than the vibe he gives off (keeping the Grail on him at all times, and always keeping a hand within ready distance of one of his pistols).
 
Been a while since I've done one of these, but alright, here we go.
The warrior king of Sparta nods, his face stony as he thinks. As he watches the corridor as an unflinching sentinel, a full head taller than Roman, the doctor cannot help but feel relief that the first Servant he found was a man with all the wisdom of Greece in his veins, a great man of Sparta who held off the Persians at Thermopylae and unified the city-states with his sacrifice.
Ah yes, the wisdom of Greece, all of that trigonometry bouncing around the confines of his skull :V
"Hmm… Unfortunately, Dr. Roman, I died young while my son was still a boy."
That's still a better track record than most, some dads (especially in your time) just leave their kids to starve.
"And, more saliently, I had a son. I have little experience with girls besides 'did you sacrifice a goat on their birthday and bequeath them to a house of proper standing?'."
All important things to note for any daughter. I'll have to remember to prepare my goat for my possible-future daughter's Quinceañera.
"I wish you well, Dr. Roman! May you find your answers! I will sacrifice a goat to the gods and pray for your success!"
This man really likes killing goats, doesn't he? Then again, Roman's Jewish, so it's probably all right.
Remember what God does to people who think lewd things about Joan of Arc.
...Please tell me Jalter doesn't count. :oops:
Jeanne maintains eye contact with him as she frowns and leans forward more good God she's close and wearing a sleeveless blouse and a frilly skirt and the buttons are - THE GIRL IS LIKE EIGHTEEN ARE YOU TESTING ME SATAN.
Last I heard, the Prince of Hell was busy with this old guy named Job, so his son is likely substituting for today.
Merlin: *Rubbing his hands together as numerous Nyeheheheheh's fall out of his mouth* "Yes, yes! Embrace your lusts, Solomon, I will lead you back to the Harem Path, the one true way and light which you forsook!
Leonidas says empathetically, still manning his post, pointedly with his eyes looking in the other direction.
Good man, both in his decision making and in his morality. After all his wife wouldn't be happy to see him eyeing another woman.
Gorgo: "I trust that you have not been making light of our marriage, Husband?"
Leonidas: *Snorts* "Of course not, I have no death wish, both in and out of battle."
"Though.. Why Mashu? Wouldn't a more proper name like Marche be more, well… proper?"
I'm sorry Jeanne, but ever since Final Fantasy Tactics Advance I just don't think that sort of name would suit a girl... even if it's short for Marche-mellow. ;)
"Oh, it is a small matter, I just had laundry! It took me some time to find this place; Saber said to follow the signs but the Lord left none!"

Oh, right, Jeanne can't read. Bless her, she tries, but she's illiterate.
...You know, I think that's a situation that should probably be rectified in the near future. It's not like it would be particularly difficult, considering she speaks the language and she's an adult instead of a elementary school kid.
Jeanne blinks. Her expression softens. She smiles and sets her flag aside, spreading her arms wide. "Then come, lost lamb, and confess into my breasts."
I knew it! I knew she had a lewd side! She wouldn't have specified the plurality of such if she were truly being compassionate!
Jeanne tilts her head. "I don't get it. What's cleavage?"
Oh no you don't, I'm on to your little game! Besides, the Grail grants basic knowledge, doesn't it? I'm fairly sure "Cleavage=A Woman's Bust" is more common information than a particular fact in mineralogy related to that same word.
