Dazai being worried about Sigma is melting my heart. He promised him that he would get him out of there, and now something that he hadn't predicted happened.
Even Chuuya noticed he's worried!
Ahhh this does heavily imply that Dazai had no idea Fyodor was apparently centuries old! He never expected that Sigma would get knocked out by all that information.

ShiRin Week 2019 Masterpost

November 17 - What makes you love Shirou/Rin?
I love ShiRin because it feels like a natural pairing. The way these two are written makes their interactions feel believably amusing and sweet, which is what I like to see in a pair. Far too often I see fictional couples that I feel are being forced together by the writer rather than having any sort of character based reason for such. As Urobuchi said, Shirou and Rin compliment each other quite well. Shirou, as a stubborn idealist, and Rin, as a proud traditionalist, both too self-conscious of how the other opposes them to move past tsundere hilarity despite mutual attraction. Yet, when they get together, Rin is able to move past her idealization of her father and becomes so much more comfortable in expressing herself, while Shirou is given someone to ground his self-destructive impulses. It’s clear that Rin understands and helps Shirou develop far more than anyone else in Stay Night, as he does for her. Anyone who knows my taste in ships will also know that I’m drawn to battle couples. There’s something about the idea of lovers fighting alongside one another for what they believe in that I’m quite weak to.  November 18 - Favorite Shirou/Rin Moment
My favorite ShiRin moment is really just the entirety of the UBW anime ending and epilogue. Rin flaunting her relationship with Shirou to Issei, asking him to come with her to London, and the two living together there was genuinely wholesome to see. I truly felt the strength of their bond through their growth as individuals. Rin especially becoming so much more comfortable with her feelings for Shirou was adorable, and I felt that Shirou could pursue his dream without ever being alone. November 19 - What makes you think ShiRin is better than the other Shirou/Heroine ships? ShiRin is better than the other ships for the simple reason that the two of them naturally fit together in a way that Shirou and Saber or Sakura simply don’t. Whereas I felt that ShiRin developed naturally, with both partners coming to healthy partnership and understanding, the other two pairings felt far more forced and far less satisfying. To be certain, Artoria seemed to feed into and ultimately exacerbate Shirou’s mental problems, while Sakura seemed to idealize Shirou in a toxic manner. I think this is shown the best in how UBW Shirou ends off, accepting the flaws in his ideals while also continuing to pursue them. UBW Shirou comes into his own and defeats fucking Gilgamesh, while Fate Shirou seems stuck in Artoria’s shadow, and HF Shirou gives up everything for Sakura. Shirou x Saber (or Shitoria, as I have come to call it) felt to me like a mess of pandering. The idea that the 1000-year-old ghost of the King of Britain would fall in love with the shonen son/follower of a man she hated never made much of any sense to me. It really didn’t matter how much people have tried to justify it, there just wasn’t ever a moment that Shirou and Saber felt like a couple to me. They were less like equal partners and more of a master and apprentice sort of deal, and trying to sell her as a love interest just felt like waifu bait.
As for Shirou and Sakura, their pairing does feel a bit more natural than Shitoria. It makes sense that Shirou and Sakura would fall for each other, in theory at least. However, throughout Heaven’s Feel, it also seemed like Nasu was struggling to actually develop ShiSaku against ShiRin. While less dramatic, ShiRin still felt like the more realistic and more believable pairing. It also doesn’t help ShiSaku much that their relationship comes off as rather unhealthy. Even without Shirou and Rin’s apparent continuing attraction to one another and the implications of that, HF Shirou gives up on his goals to dedicate himself to a girl who was showing yandere tendencies, which is just an incredibly poor start to a relationship to say the least. The epilogue to HF felt like Nasu was trying to sweep all these issues under the rug, honestly, and it doesn’t bode well for these two in my eyes. November 20 - Any headcanons? My biggest headcanon should come as no surprise given my thoughts on the other two pairings, but I believe Shirou and Rin end up together in all three routes. With Saber dead in the Fate route, there’s really nothing stopping Shirou once the wounds heal a bit, and in Heaven’s Feel, I find it not unlikely that Shriou and Sakura would breakup given how unhealthy their dynamic seems. Can’t really think of too much else aside from smaller ones like Rin supporting Shirou on his journey to the Middle East and fighting alongside him and what not. November 21 - If Shirou and Rin were the FGO protag’s parents, how do you think they would have ended up being in that situation? All I can really say to this one is timeline fuckery, lol. Given that the FGW turned out a lot differently in this timeline, with the victor being someone who wasn’t even in Stay Night, we can only speculate. Maybe Muramasa Shirou and Ishtar Rin hooked up and then their child got sent back in time somehow? Oh, the Nasuverse... November 22 - How do you think they’d meet if the HGW never happened? Well, they technically knew each other to some extent before the Fuyuki Grail War ever occurred, so. But I think that Shirou would have sought out Rin’s help in becoming a mage, or maybe Rin would have offered to train him, so that he could pursue his hero dream. I think they may have eventually discovered their common interest, but it may have taken longer under such a situation. Annndddd, that’s all for now since I don’t really have any oc!
