Didn't Waver pick up a game console at the end of F/Z? In fact, WTF happened to him after F/Z for him to become Lord El-Melloi II?
After the war, Waver held lectures in Kayneth's old classroom and no one really cared enough to stop him and after a couple of years of that, they realized that he was actually pretty good at it. Then Reines (Kayneth's niece and new head of the family) called him up and bullied him into taking on an unpayable debt while also dealing with the magi political BS that comes with being a Lord until Reines is old enough for it. Reines didn't really expect him to accept and didn't even blame him for Kayneth's death, but he accepted anyway and the rest is history.
 
Man, I want to make Shakespeare take a modern high school Lit class, just for sheer lulz :V.
In my class? Shittons of barb trading and vulgar jokes between the teacher and a few of my classmates. With the expected ribbing of some of his contemporaries.

(I dunno Fate's Shakesphere BTW)

You know, I don't usually support little girls being household heads, but this choice is pretty sensible.
 
To be fair, in canon that's mostly Caster Gilles telling her that it's a good idea.
No Jalter is a dumbass even when she isn't following Caster Gilles. I mean in the Valentine Event she truly believed and followed Shakespeare's suggestion to harass her master by giving him delicious chocolate she personally crafted in the form of her face. She was really surprised when her Master liked the gift... and then tried to burn Shakespeare after she realized that she was trolled.

Then again even normal Jeanne isn't book smart. In life she wasn't educated because she was a peasant but even with the knowledge download from the Grail she suck at academics things like math.

Nasu/Fate is weird in that they get certain odd trivia that relatively few people know about right, but then there's also inconsistencies that make you wonder if they're even reading the same history books you are.
So you get Jeanne D'Arc having the right body type but wrong hair color, Cu Chulainn wearing a blue bodysuit in place of blue woad paint (because that's what most Celtic warriors wore into battle), Excalibur firing sword beams because one source mentions that Excalibur blazed with a light like many torches, and Shuten-Doji as a hedonist, but also female.

It is Fate. If you're looking for 100% historical accuracy (or what we believe possibly to be historically accurate) you have been in the wrong place right from the start.

To be fair, Shuten's a shapeshifter and thus can be whatever the fuck gender they want.

He writes stories about these, naturally. And maybe manipulating said 'stories'.

They're Magus, most of them were classist Overlord. And we know that effective Overlord need good counsel from little kids.

This kid was smart and decides Waver would make better Overlord than her. Simple as that. :V
 
I could've sworn that one other reason that Reines bullied Waver into (symbolic?) adoption, was sheer offense taken over the modifications he'd made to Volumen Hydrargyrum, into a T-1000 meido.*

That Waver was the only survivor of the Fourth, and being in close proximity to the former family head and the subsequent loss of the Archibald family crest, only served as additional justification.

* - EDIT: Nope, that apparently occurred after Waver inherited the title of El-Melloi II, via Flat Escardos' unwanted intervention... or so says a very unreliable 'net source.

To be fair to Ritsuka, good!Jeanne being kind of ahistorical and strangely artificial and matched against the more human Alter!Jeanne who is just all kinds of pissed off at being betrayed by her king and burned at the stake is a big clue as to what's going on.

And given a half-dozen similar clues maybe he'd come up with an awesome plan. But it's hard to do the Sherlock Holmes routine when wyverns and psychos keep trying to kill you
 
So the Kara no Kyokai event recently wrapped in FGO, and whiel I didn't beat all the missions, I did manage to get Assassin Shiki fully kitted out in terms of Ascension materials and Noble Phantasm.

Having ascended her to her fourth ascension, the alternate artwork you get combined with the voice line for the ascension gave me an idea for an omake...

EDIT: Except I never realized that I can't post omakes here, so it's gone now...

If you want to post omakes, PM me first. For this case, as Shiki hasn't appeared and is unlikely to ever appear and (since I actually caught the omake before it was deleted) things won't pan out like they did in the omake... Unfortunately it'll just have to die.

Isn't that a little...

I mean, you're writing a fanfiction about a property written by someone else, without their knowledge much less their permission. It's one thing to say "no omakes in my thead," because we basically treat OPs as thread owners as part of SV culture, but saying "no fanfiction of my unauthorized fanfiction" is kinda...
 
Like I said, I never saw the notice of no omakes. If I had, I would have PM'd first but I was unaware of the policy.

Also It's fine, I wasn't really expecting it to necessarily go that way because I don't personally have that great a handle on Ritsuka's characterization. I just had a bee in my bonnet with that dialogue and art, and thought it would be a funny snippet of interaction.

If you want to make a thread, be my guest. But I certainly won't make it.
