I remember an FGO fic long ago where kid Gudako was the last Master of Humanity and her primary Servants were Nursery Rhyme and Arash. Nursery's powers were particularly in focus on that story since her Master was a child and it was amazing. I can't find it anymore though and it's a shame.
He forgot his own name?
The Nameless Forest does not discriminate in who it targets. I think in one of the early events it affected Ritsuka despite being NR's master. It's why it's never used.
Doesn't Chaldea encounter Zolgen in the OG London Singularity (With Makiri being the M), and he still had hair?
I mean King Arthur, Emperor Nero, and Francis Drake were all women. If a Servant is wildly different from what history says they were well history hasn't exactly had a good track record of being right.
Fate Joan is actually inhabiting someone else's body, because of stuff in Apocrypha.
Not really, we have seen Jeanne before her death and she has mostly the same appearance.
That's exactly what I'm arguing about. Why would someone from alternate earth assume that a female king Arthur or Francis Drake is always female across all earths and not just acknowledge it as a fellow alternate from a different earth and history??
Because what's the simpler explanation, "History got it wrong" or "This historical/mythological figure is a multiversally and temporally displaced R63 that also has replaced the proper version as what we'd pull from a summoning ritual?"
Like I'd agree with you, but Taylor is literally from a divergent timeline. That's going to be in her lived experience.
You never know with Fate. It could be the inverse of nature, or the natural "human" order vs the outside/ un-natural in Scion. Or maybe Gaia just didn't have any other options.
Her lived experience is that she's an outlier. Like what happened to her took breaking the rules of an alien god's infrastructure to achieve, and following that she was given years of training by a person who made it abundantly clear how abnormal her circumstances are.
Uh, she started with targeting the Master.
Will Taylor start going for the eyes, ears and mouth again? like, Taylor's focus was never doing damage via bug bites, it was distraction through pain and bugs in uncomfortable places, as well as confusion via swarming tactics and harassing people's senses and using string to tie them up if possible.
that's true, but if a servant goes immaterial then they can't act on the world either, that's a pretty good benefit by itself
This is my standing policy for fate. Glad to see someone else sees the sense of it.
