Whomst is this Rags? Obviously a Magus, one who is familiar with the Grail conflict. Are they, say, Sakura's child? Question abound! So once more, with feeling, I must say:

Whomst
I don't know what you're talking about. All I saw was a word with the font size jacked up and I went "rate as funny".
Hey could someone remind me if Ritsuka's knows about Mashu limited life span?
Unless he learns earlier, then by Camelot or Babylonia.
Boob plate remains the most stupidly suicidal thing in anime.
It does say that Artoria Lancer's plate has a purpose (for deflecting weapons when going fast enough).

But that's it.
 
EDIT: Though from a aesthetic standpoint, domed/flat armor is superior by a mile.
Not even just in matter of aesthetic. What sound better to you, an armor that ensure you get to experience the full kinetic impact of your opponent's attacks or one that's build to deflect that kinectic energy ?

Moreover, while swords aren't armor piercing, war lances are. Wearing boobplates while engaging in jousting is a terrible idea.

Wow this is extremely AU, either that or Ritsuka has no clue what he is talking about.


#sensiblechestplate

If Shadversity is to be believed, it surprisingly isn't. TLDR:Swords aren't armor piercing tank shells.

The primary issue with boobplate has nothing to do with its practicality in battle and everything to do with the practicality of forging and wearing it; how exactly is a blacksmith supposed to forge form-fitting metal boob shapes, and how comfortable actually wearing those would be (hint, not at all).


Also note that swords are not actually intended for use against armored targets, or more specifically slashing attacks are not intended for use against armored targets, piercing (or crushing) attacks are what you use against armored targets, of which certain types of swords were specifically designed to perform. Mostly piercing attacks were from lances, polearms, arrows and daggers though, not swords. Swords were mostly intended for use against unarmored or lightly armored targets, aka peasant militia; one of the reasons why they were historically considered a weapon of the nobility (along with their expense).

That is an issue with metal armor, though you could probably manage with boiled leather armour. That said, there is medieval art that... could be of women in armor with it moulded to their bodies a bit more? Though usually it is them in dresses over the armor, so maybe they wore some sort of harness to make it appear like there was something there.

I always believed that Mashu would look better with an arturian-style cuirass over what we actually get, so now you all get to indulge my headcanon. Neener neener. :V

Maybe one day I'll commission it. It's not a big departure from her canon look, just that her cuirass doesn't have perfectly sculpted breast cups.

It was often popular at various times to have the outer surface of armor slightly molded and painted so as to give the appearance of muscles and the like (ex; codpieces for pretending that you have a gigantic steel dong) but the actual inner surface of the armor didn't even remotely conform to the flesh beneath it anything like as closely as the outer appearance might suggest; you need to wear a fairly thick layer of padding between yourself and your armor to prevent chafing and to provide shock absorption, otherwise there's no real point to actually wearing the armor in the first place. The appearance of sculpted muscles and whatnot was just that; an appearance, nothing more.

Women going into battle almost exclusively bind their breasts as well for purely physics related reasons; boobs are big ole sacks of fat and having them dangle around not only has balance-related issues but hurts like hell when a person is engaging in vigorous physical activity like combat, so female warriors in armor look basically exactly the same as male warriors, maybe slightly larger chest areas, but generally not. Armor is typically bulky enough to mask all but the most ludicrously oversized boobs, and as boobs are mostly fat and a warrior is typically very fit, women warriors usually do not have anime jugs.

Oh I agree with you on that. There are better ways to kill yourself.
 
And don't forget armor didn't conform to flesh not only because of the clothing you're wearing under said armor but you need space for your lungs to expand so you could breath! That was a pretty big design feature for most armor unless you wanted to die from lack of oxygen.
 
The father isn't Rin and neither is it Shirou. Rin is a possessive sort and won't allow sharing.

Also Ritsuka would find it weird if his half-brother's name was Ragnarök Fenrirsülfr Edelfelt.
...I believe that when Luvia named him that, she seriously thought that it was a proper, normal name. For a magus. Which isn't entirely incorrect.

He's literally named "Twilight of the Gods, Sulfur-Marsh Dweller". Of course it's going to sound like some shitty light novel character, who do you think writes the actual material that rakes in the big bucks for Type Moon?
"My family found him in a large crater in Norway. He calls himself Thor Odinson, and he's trying to find his hammer so that he can return home."
That's one handsome Thor. Gotta admit. Luvia struck gold.
Yup. Ignore the oily black hair, cold sneering eyes, and green-gold getup, that's totally Thor.
 
... I'm saying Luvia clearly gave birth to fucking Fenrir, so the dad's gotta be Loki. And while I am at it, plugging Best MCU Villain.

Ah, I think I see what you mean.

Wait, Fenrir meant 'Marsh-dweller' this whole time? That's like calling Bigfoot... Bigfoot. Huh. That's rather underwhelming.

Now part of me wants to think that Luvia knew that it was Loki the whole time, she's just attracted to evil tsuns.

For more fun? Considering things?

Obviously Loki is a Shirou-Face.

Ah. So what you're saying is that if Luvia ever met Angry Mainyu-possessed Shirou....

NOPE. Totally Tom Higgleston, he's the only male Loki allowed, fite me. :V

... I was gonna say he'd be too crude and bloodthirsty, but then I remembered "Oh Right, this is Loki." He'd totally be down to hang with Angra Mainyu.

Oh god. Luvia, Loki, and Avenger show up at Chaldea. Quatzequatel is gonna take their challenge and rope the kids into it. Gil, Archer, and Artoria will commentate. I can hear the sound of money printing in Vince McMahon's mind.
 
I mean. The middle name is a wolf reference, which makes me think more Svin.
Svin can become a werwolf, but IIRC he's got an uber-crush on Grey. So either they friendzoned each other amicably, Luvia yoinked the boy so fast that Svin didn't register anything until he was holding a barking baby, or Svin decided to go ask Luvia out on a rebound.


...I am both afraid, and intrigued.

Sorry, that's not a strong enough reaction. This is.
