That would be hilarious
Rika: What the hell? How did you become a chibi? Why are you a girl? How can you have more power?
Taylor: Why do you look like a...sexy version of your older self?
Kuro: Alaya is a raging bitch, Alaya is a spiteful bitch, crazy experiential alien breeding experiment, and Zeltrech is the Trolliest Troll to ever Troll. Now for the love of all that's holy can I please get some actual clothes on!!

I'm honestly surprised Rika wasn't there to see Taylor in the swimsuit for the gap moe.

Or that Ritsuka wasn't there because he knew Mash would kill him with the moe.

Or that Blackbeard didn't summon himself to be a voyeur.

Had Romani introduced her to anime at some point as some kind of "fuck you" to Marisbury?

Two things:
1) I ship it
2) they're totally summoning Detroit Emiya aren't they? Or even worse, a triple fuck you from the gacha by pulling Detroit Emiya, Irisiviel, AND Kiritsugu…

Frankly it's better than some of the other things Magi have done to their own children. Tokiomi gave away his daughter Sakura knowing that it might end up with the Tohsaka sisters fighting to death later on, and that's even assuming he didn't know about Zouken's methods. Zouken treating his own children as toys. The Einzberns' treatment of Ilya. Flat's family essentially turning their entire line into one big experiment, with Flat being the culmination of said experiment.

And so on and so forth. Frankly it's hard to think up of a traditional Magi family that isn't messed up to some degree, and the one that comes to mind took one extremely competent homunculus literally beating sense into everyone for it to happen. Memento mori Toole, also Goredolf is way too kind to be a magus.

Tokiomi is actually a...decent dad. Sort of. Trusting what he says to Kariya, who he knows was a love rival for Aoi's hand, is a bit... Well, I'd take some of it with a grain of salt, because he's not gonna let this homewrecker who didn't have the guts to commit to the life of a magus lecture him about his family. But also, there's some narration in the LNs where Tokiomi knows that he doesn't have much of a choice except to give Sakura away. He has one Magic Crest, but two girls who are very, very talented, so talented that there's no way to keep either of them away from the supernatural. Without the protection being the heir to a lineage offers, the one who doesn't inherit will absolutely get taken advantage of and suffer a terrible fate.

Apropos of that, Tokiomi actually planned to do what his dad did and offer both girls the chance to learn magecraft. But as he says, "My wife's womb was too bountiful," (even if that's a super creepy way to say that Aoi's Sorcery Trait made both girls too good to leave alone) and he didn't have too many options. Wouldn't you know it, though? The Matou family, who have been allies to the Tohsaka for over 200 years, have been in decline and need an heir...

Taylor did specifically time this lesson to happen during their lessons with El Melloi.

This. Not necessarily because she wanted to avoid the twins seeing her in a swimsuit so much as she didn't want Olga to say no specifically to avoid being seen in a swimsuit herself.

Is the whole premise of the story, let Taylor die and get a powerful Servant or let live and get a powerful "Master".

While Taylor might feel more useful if she was a Servant there is things she can only do because she is still alive.

It was a joke about the old gacha game meme.

You know, the one that goes "wife >>> waifu go touch grass" or something.
 
I checked through most of Worm a few years ago for an answer to that question, and the list of known or possible scars is remarkably short.
- Dog bite on arm (from Bitch's dogs)
- Scar from partially torn ear (from Sophia)
- Metal fused into shoulder (from Flechette)
- Cut under right breast (from Tohu)
- Missing arm, likely no scarring on stump thanks to Panacea (from Garrote, Lung)
- Possibly the scratch across her lips from when she was Khepri (from herself)
- Gunshot scars on head (from Contessa)

I may have missed some, of course, and she may have picked more up during her time in the Wards, but her excellent costume and frequent access to healing meant scarring injuries were rare and scars struggled to last. The first two scars mentioned above may not exist anymore, either: Sophia left a scar on Taylor's cheek at around the same time, but during a conversation between Sophia and Taylor early in Gold Morning, it's explicitly mentioned to be gone, likely due to one healing or another.

Taylor herself comments on this phenomenon during the Behemoth fight:
Crushed 24.3 said:
The availability of healing made for an interesting, if ugly, dynamic. Capes like Tattletale, capes like me could be reckless, we'd get our faces slashed open, our backs broken, our throats severed, blinded and burned, and we'd get mended back to a near-pristine condition. Tattletale still had faint scars at the corners of her mouth, regenerated by Brian after his second trigger event, but she'd mended almost to full. I'd had injuries of a much more life-altering scale undone by Panacea and Scapegoat.

If we died, we were dead, no question, unless I gave consideration to Alexandria's apparent resurrection. But an injury, no matter how grave? That was something that could be remedied, it lent a feeling of invulnerability, an image of invulnerability. So we continued being reckless, and we would continue to be reckless until something finally killed us off.

It's actually hard to say. She lost a large portion of her body during the early stages of gold morning, and then most of her injuries were healed by Panacea right before she went Khepri. I think she would actually have surprisingly few scars, considering the lifestyle she lived prior to that. I sorta feng shui'd the "burn" scar on her one arm under the logic that she didn't listen to Amy as well as she should have, so even though the original wound was healed, it scarred because she didn't give the healing time enough to properly take before throwing herself back onto the battlefield. I forgot she actually got healing for it originally, so I had to go back and patch that inconsistency a while back during Olga's first interlude.

Yeah. For how rough a life the average combat cape lives, they have surprisingly few marks to show for it.

Skipping ones on lower half, because it's cut-off later, there at least a couple more possible, from top of my head:
a) Something on her back, from broken spine event during Levi-tan fight. Panacea would not done any cosmetic work, and it's unlikely that was purely internal injury.
b) Cut from Bonesaw along the scalp, if Brian did not regenned it perfectly.
 
at the very least she's got metal fused to her shoulder bone, a bullet hole in her forehead and a scarred arm stump, as those were the most recent or difficult to heal injuries. the metal fused to her shoulder being from when foil stabbed her to the floor with an arrow and just left it there, they cut off both ends, but couldn't exactly remove the parts fused to the bone, and later it's never mentioned being fixed, and also like, how does one fix that you know? fairly sure it happened after scapegoat and panacea is purely biological healing. she may not have too many scars due to all the healing, but the ones she does have, sure are interesting to say the least
 
Healing magic can probably remove scars that aren't that old, but the bullet holes scars and the one in her arm probably remain.

Wait, isn't that the one where Shirou got force-isekai'd by Alaya (I think taking the form of Rin, IIRC) into the world of Sekirei, as a clone daughter of one of the single digits? And IIRC Shirou got designated as #109...
 
I'll be honest, I wanted no matter what to keep the one on her arm. Just as a matter of character design and having this sort of visual representation of the delineation between her past and present.

Also so the twins had something to gawk at the first time they saw it.

To be honest, given the state she was in when she arrived, and the fact Da Vinci already needed to make an Arm for her; it wouldn't surprise me if Olga, Romani, and Da Vinci went the whole nine yards and had her come out as close to brand new as possible.

I wouldn't be surprised if those were voluntary. Da Vinci would offer to remove them but Taylor refusing to. The others being removed via the process to restore her to health.

Personal theory/headcanon: Survivorship Bias of a sort.

Considering that most attacks towards capes tends to be lethal, I find it more believable that it is simply an indication that the cape knows how and when to dodge as appropriate.

Hence why the lack of scars. Those that usually have those either has a tendency to die or have access to OP medical powers making them unlikely.

Unless they have Alexander-style durability, but usually there aren't many of them and/or have some sort of limitation.

That makes sense.

I wonder if Da Vinci will offer to replace her prosthesis with a 100% organic arm made from bugs?
Click to expand...

The prosthetic is already indistinguishable from the "real" thing, because it's of the same quality as all of Touko's puppet bodies, which is to say, so perfect that even the World itself can't tell the difference. Any sense Taylor has that she can feel the port where it connects to her body is, as she has essentially admitted before, entirely psychological.

As for whether Touko made the arm or Da Vinci did — which might naturally follow my invoking Touko's name — that's fundamentally an unimportant question. Either of them could do work of this quality, and it just depends whether you want to think Da Vinci volunteered after she was summoned or Olga shelled out the cash to commission Touko herself.
