#chara: white dragon of the abyss

[strangefellows]

Alrighty then! As I finished LB6 at....oh, 5am this morning -- because I got stuck on Cernunnos and went to bed early, and then couldn't sleep because I was stressing about finishing the LB before the Oberon banner -- it is time to once again sit my ass down and babble about my (possibly unusual? idk) take on Oberon Vortigern.

I'm gonna put my full thoughts beyond a cut but TL;DR -- I'm far, far more interested in the Vortigern part of him, and so my take and interpretation tends to focus on that side of him, and on looking at PHH Vortigern as well. (Not that Oberon isn't an intrinsic part of him as well; it's just that I tend to look at him as more "Vortigern wearing Oberon" more than "Oberon who is also Vortigern".)

So when I was....oh god. Very young. Four? Five? An incredibly small child, I know that much. I was given a picture book. See, my mom is a huge, huge, huge fan of Arthuriana, I cannot count how many books she's got on the topic. That's one of her two big loves, Arthuriana and Robin Hood (which is a whole other kettle of FGO fish, me and my dear outlaw, for another time). Anyway, she got me a book. Merlin and the Dragons by Jane Yolen -- I'll link you guys to an audiobook version on youtube, it's of course a kid's book and very short, and gorgeously illustrated, but that's not the important part. The important part is, well, the story. The story of little Emrys, King Vortigern and his tower, and the two dragons. That was, I think, my very first exposure to Arthuriana, and I was immediately in love. That story in particular captured my attention, and ever since then I've been extremely obsessed with interested in Vortigern. The Charlie Hunnam/Guy Ritchie King Arthur movie is my favorite King Arthur movie I've ever seen solely because Vortigern is there (and Jude Law kills it, ok?). So, of course, two years ago when Oberon first dropped and I saw him on the FGO Wiki, I was mildly interested -- until I saw his full True Name, and then I was immediately sold. Oberon is one thing, but Oberon Vortigern? Yes, please, give me all the details.

And as I read more about FGO's Vortigern, especially the retcons they gave in FGO about what he is (compared to the very old Garden of Avalon LN) -- that he was born of Britain's will of self-destruction to preserve the Age of Magic and prevent the dying out of Mystics, that he was born both human and not -- I was so fascinated, especially when I read more about Oberon Vortigern, and I drew parallels between their situations.

In essence, both of them -- PHH and Lostbelt Vortigerns -- are an exercise in contradictions. Two diametrically opposed things inside one being.

For PHH Vortigern, he was born as a human, Uther's brother and Artoria's uncle -- but he was also born as the avatar of Britain's will, the White Dragon. Unlike Artoria as the Red Dragon, who was meant to protect humanity, Vortigern was supposed to protect Mystics and the Age of Magic, to destroy humanity...but at the same time, he was in part human. Holmes, in the introduction to LB6 Part 2, says it best despite talking about Morgan:

It's unclear if PHH Vortigern had a faerie aspect (and admittedly, quite frankly the fact that his successor Morgan did makes me look at Oberon and go hmmm in that regard), but even so the same comment still applies: his human aspect and his aspect that was Britain's avatar were irreconcilable. And unlike Morgan, it seems as if he didn't partition them off (or couldn't?) and...well, we know how that went, if that part of the LN is any indication. Or hell, looking at Salter or Lalter. Man probably went a little crazy.

And by the same token, Lostbelt Vortigern is the same way-- but rather than 'man vs mystic' it's a matter of 'truth vs lies'. His identity as Vortigern is intrinsically altered and changed by the aspect of Oberon placed on top of it. And while I absolutely agree that the Welsh faeries did not, as some people think, 'brainwash' him, and he was both from the start...they absolutely were the reason he is Oberon Vortigern.

Now it's not explicitly stated, but more or less to me this implies that the chrysalis, when it got up, had been shaped by the desires and wishes of the Welsh faeries who had been awaiting a 'perfect fairy tale king' -- Oberon Vortigern even mentions the flotsam that Morgan let wash up as likely the source of that particular notion.

After all, if he was truly 100% a 'Lostbelt Faerie King Oberon', he wouldn't be affected by either Titania's (non)existence or the lying Thing brought on by the circumstances of the play.

I think the distinction I make, like I said above the cut, is that he's not "Oberon who is also Vortigern" so much as he's "Vortigern who was given the mask of Oberon". The White Dragon, the Abyssal Wyrm (they used that spelling once they should have kept it, it makes perfect sense!) at his core, but rather than wearing the face of a human King of the Saxons, he's wearing the face of a faerie King of Wales. Oberon Vortigern rather than Vortigern Pendragon. Oberon is the type of Vortigern he is, shaped by nurture/environment at birth, rather than the nature of what he is at the core.

That's why he's a Pretender -- he's Vortigern pretending to be the Faerie King so hard it's impossible to tell anymore what's a lie and what's not, rather than the other way around.

EDIT TO ADD: I was going through my screenshots again (because a bitch literally screencapped every line of dialogue in the finale) and:

Forgot he'd just, uh, said it outright. "I am Vortigern using the face of Oberon the Faerie King from Proper Human History," huh. Granted, man's a liar by nature, but... (not to mention, I notice, that the way he phrases his description of Vortigern doesn't match the LB, because in the LB the Age of Mystics never ended. One wonders, then, if Vortigern himself is -- to borrow computer metaphors from Nasu -- basically a 'universal program' from the inner sea reused with different shells depending on the situation, given Albion itself sits in on the border of all realities, and he is also the same Vortigern as PHH, just in a different form for this particular usage.)

Either way and in any case, as he's said, Oberon Vortigern is also a contradiction: Vortigern wants -- no, is born to -- destroy the Lostbelt, while Oberon wants to destroy PHH for Titania. That's the contradiction. The object truth of PHH over the lies, the story of the Lostbelt. And, as with 'Man vs Mystic', that's irreconcilable. And thus, his misery, his pain, his disgust at his own existence and everything else.

I'm sure approaching it from the Oberon side has similar conclusions to be drawn, but it's fascinating to me taking it from the Vortigern side and looking at PHH Vortigern, especially given the discussion of him in the early parts of LB6 and the presence of Melusine/Albion. As well as Oberon Vortigern's relationship with Merlin, given PHH Vortigern absolutely has to have ties with him given the main myth Vortigern comes up in. (Points emphatically at Dinas Emrys in Wales.)

Anyway! I would kill a man for a PHH Vortigern alt Servant (Ruler or Avenger calling it now), and I have a lot of personal headcanons for my own Master OC's specific in-universe version of Oberon Vortigern, but in general, I love looking at him from this perspective.

....

And really, though, they should've kept it as Abyssal Wyrm.

GO BACK AND MAKE IT WYRM AGAIN, LASENGLE. WYRMS ARE LIMBLESS DRAGONS, IT'S LITERALLY A WORM-WYRM, IT MAKES SENSE, IT FITS, IT'S PERFECT DOUBLE MEANINGS. [riots, coughs]

HERE WE GO FOLKS! CHAPTER 5! HAHAHA!

(Edit: Oh yeah! I forgot! -adds mention- @rahafwabas yeeeeeehhhhh! I dids it! I’m still going with this thing! yays! XD)

  Everyone in the bar could feel the uneasy air fill the room as soon as he came in. The skeleton made his usual joke as he always does when he pops in. But this time, nobody laughed. Sans didn’t seem to notice.

 He sat at his usual spot and ordered, to everyone’s confusion, two bowls of fries. There was no one with him. When a nearby monster asked him why, Sans said he was expecting company.

 Grillby was a bit busy with all the other customers, so the chips took a bit longer. The comedian made a few more jokes that no one laughed at.

Sans gulped down his ketchup and ate a few fries. After some long, long minutes, an armoured monster opened the door.

“Excuse me, guys, but, uh, something bad is happing, like, really bad, so we have to evacuate the citizens here. There’s a human, not a cool human, they’re hurting monsters. So we have to get you to safety now.” said RG-01.

 The monsters looked at each other, muttering in curiosity and in fear. They got from their tables and walked hastily to the door. Grillby and Sans were the only ones who didn’t move.

  “Uh, dudes? Didn’t you hear me? We have to evacuate the citizens and—“

 “… I think I want to stay here, friend,” said Grillby.

 “Uh, why? Don’t you want to, like, live, or something?” RG-01 asked, perplexed.

 “I think I will be fine, friend. I hope you understand.”

 “Uh. Um… ok then… um, good luck?”

 “Goodbye.”

 RG-01 left, a little bit awkward.

 Sans didn’t move. Grillby tilted their flame head at the skeleton, moving to sit next to him, “Sans?”

 Sans looked at him, “Do you have more ketchup?”

 “No Sans, you drank the last bottle. Sorry.” Grillby looked away, “Why didn’t you go with them?”

 “I could ask the same question, Grillbz… but I’m too lazy to ask.” The skeleton smiled.

 “I have duties here.” He looked at him, flames flickering.

"Is this about your brother? Is this why you have to stay?”

 Sans forced himself to nod. “Yeah, Papyrus would come back here and try to make friends with the human, and from the sounds of it, this human ain’t really friendly.”

 Grillby nodded. “I see… One more thing Sans, is this for your brother? I thought your brother hated grease...”

 “He does, but he’s not the company I said I was going to have…”

 Grillby frowned, “Then who would this person be then, if not your brother?”

 Sans smiled a little wider, “Someone who’s new to the underground. That’s all.”

 It took a moment for the message to sink in but as soon as it did, Grillby backed away a bit, “Sans? I don’t understand. Are you saying you’re going to have eat with the person who’s been killing all those monsters?!”

 Sans got off his chair and said, “Yup. Thought the kid would be hungry. Humans do tend to need to eat a lot; did you know that? So, uh. You better get out of here. I don’t think the human… or me… is gonna spare you out of everyone. You can stay here if you want, though, that’ll just mean I’ll get some free EXP.”

 Grillby could not believe what Sans was saying.

 “Sans…”

 Sans said nothing.

 “Sans this is not you,” Grillby said, making his way to his friend, “you know this isn’t. The Sans I know wouldn’t hurt anyone, not his friends, not innocent people, and definitely not family. I beg you. Snap out of it.”

 Sans’ eyes bore into his, they were deep pools of black, endlessly going on and on in ink bowls of darkness, swirling and cold, until you can see the ominous dread of the abyss looking back at you.

 “Well, I guess that Sans is dead now.” the skeleton said.

 Before Grillby could do anything, he was being lifted up and, like a rag doll, thrown onto the wall, glasses smashed and shelves toppled. Grillby groaned in pain as the invisible force pulled him up again.

 “I’m sorry Grillby, I really am. But I just don’t care about anything anymore.” Sans said quietly.

 A loud smash of a window echoed out of the now empty streets and Grillby’s fire body, melting the ice around him into puddles of water. Loud hissing noises filled the air, it almost sounded like screaming. Sans exited the diner and watched the small spectacle. Steam rose and evaporated into the cold air of Snowden. Then, the charred body turning white, it crumbled away into nothing but specks of ash and small lumps of powder. Sans watched his friend die.

 There was a loud gasp, and Sans snapped his head to the side. The streets of Snowden, apparently weren’t all empty. A monster stood there, it wore a striped jumper and resembled a young dragon without arms or wings. He backed away from the skeleton.

 “Y-You…” he trembled and looked at him in a mix of horror and disbelief, then the monster ran away in the opposite direction, tripping over a few times, but frantically getting up and sprinting towards Waterfall. He disappeared. Sans did not bother to go after him.

Chara walked into the deserted town, they were low on health since the stupid long-necked dog decided to go into a frenzy and throw them halfway down a cliff in it’s excitement. Chara’s stomach growled, but still keeping the pie for safekeeping, they did not eat it. Instead, they stole some Cinnamon Bunnies from the store and other items of use. But they did not stack up on health.

 Grumbling, they continued on, aware that Monster Kid wasn’t in his usual place. Odd. Interesting. New.

 That’s when they noticed the broken glass and the pile of ash a few metres away from Grillby’s. And in them were dusty glasses. Grinning, they padded through the snow to see Sans at their usual seats. Sans noticed them coming in and waved them welcome. Chara smiled and ran to the plate of fries. God, this is going to be worth it.

 “Took you a while, what kept you?”

 “Decided to do some rock-climbing. One of those blasted dogs helped.” Chara chewed the lukewarm chips into mush and swallowed. Sans chuckled.

 “Do you have any ketchup?”

 “Nope. No more, I think.” Sans said.

 “Bummer.” They shove more food up their mouth, “so, how far did you get? By LV, I mean. How much do you have?”

 Sans blinked. To be honest, he hadn’t kept track. How many monsters had he killed? How much EXP did he have? How much LOVE? He wasn’t a 1HP monster anymore, that’s to be sure. How can he know? Of course, if he was asked to examine Chara’s LV. he can do that without even trying, which was convenient as he was quite the lazy guy. It was a part of his magic. But to know his own EXP or Level Of Violence, then….

 “I dunno, kid. Can’t you check?”

 Chara licked their fingers thoughtfully, “I suppose. Look at me, ya lackadaisical skeleton.”

Sans did, smiling that smile they oh so missed.

“Where did you learn that nonsense word?” Sans asked.

 “From Papyrus.” They did the check.

  *Sans.

 *Check.

 *HP-20   Attack-10   Def-1   LV5.

* Easiest enemy? You know better.

*Still dodges. You changed him, but if it’s for better or for worse, you do not know.

*Still a pun-loving skeleton.

 “Level 5, very nice Sans” Chara was impressed.

 Sans raised his non-existent eyebrows and looked at the child gently, “Huh.”

 “I just got to 6. Usually by now I’m at level 8 or something. If were gonna do this thing, we have to do things differently. Were sharing this experience together but for my Genocide route, there’s only enough EXP to get to Level 19… that excludes you Sans.” They said, looking at the skeleton, whose face was neutral and impossible to read, but Chara was very sure he was listening very carefully.

 “We need to reach the highest point possible to take on our future goal. So that means we’ll get around 10 or 11 at best if we don’t do something. Which takes me to my idea.”

 Sans face did not change, “Really? So what do you plan to do?”

 “I know that you sometimes worked with Alphys. So do you think you can disable the force fields in Hotland? I’m pretty sure that’s where the people are evacuated. If we get to them—” Chara snaps her fingers. “— then we’ll have enough.” Chara grinned.

 “What about Alph? She’s gonna know if I mess with anything.” Sans asked, but he already knew what had to be done.

 “Well, we kill her, don’t we?” Chara said, putting their empty plate on the bench.

 “I guess so,” Sans admits.

 A few moments of silence before Sans got off his seat and walking towards the door, Chara trailing behind them, “Where are you going?” they said, frowning. No ‘see ya’s? And what’s that weird glow in his chest? Was that his soul?

 Sans gave a small glance to the child, eyes blank, “I, uh, gotta get something out of the way, alright? I’ll see you in a bit.”

 He then walks away.

 Chara looked curiously at the skeleton for a moment as he left Grillby’s, then with a dark little smile, they gave a small little distorted laugh.

“SANS?!” Papyrus called out, “Brother! Where are you?!”

 Papyrus was downright worried now. Where could Sans be? He needed to find him. He had just been with Undyne and he was informed that a human had started eradicating the monster population. Undyne had told them to not confront the human and that was an order. But why? He was sure he could change their ways; he was the Great Papyrus after all!

 But seeing the Snowden residents being moved to Hotlands and not seeing Sans in the crowd or even having him by his side had brought concerns. He hadn’t seen him since earlier today. Could he have gotten lost? Could he be at their house in his room, taking a nap? Could he have confronted the human?

 …

 Papyrus tried not to think of that. He hadn’t consulted with the human yet, so if his brother did… It will be my fault.

 But he knew that his brother knew better. He will stay out of the way if there is danger. This fact filled him as he continued to look for him.

 “SANS!” Papyrus called for the 20th time.

 A small figure emerged through the fog. Papyrus new the thing immediately, “Sans! There you are!”

 “Papyrus…”

 “I was so worried! I didn’t know where you were and so many things are happening. I couldn’t find you!

“Have you seen the human? I need to talk to them. I think I can change their ways! I— Sans?”

 Confusion filled his voice as he saw a giant, skull-like manifestation above his brother, it’s eye glowing, just like Sans’ own. It blazed a fiery blue and golden yellow. In a semi-circle were rows of bones, the massive skull in the middle.

 “I’ve been waiting for this…” Sans said solemnly. In one swift movement, over a dozen attacks were flying and Papyrus scrambled to get out of the way.

 “Sans! What are you doing?! It’s me! Your brother! I won’t hurt you!” Papyrus yelled, running to him, his eyes glowing amber orange in attempt to calm his brother down. But this didn’t work. He looked down as his soul turned blue. Papyrus flew up, and then crashed into the ground with a loud THUMP. “Augh!”

 A loud whirring noise filled the air, Papyrus looked up to see that the skull’s mouth was producing a concentrated light inside it. The noise increased in volume, Sans’ face betrayed no emotion.

 “Sans, please, we don’t have to fight. We can… work this out. Let’s just… please. I won’t hurt you Sans… I’m your brother! I can help you!” Papyrus pleaded.

 Sans looked at them curiously, and then let out a small, dead laugh, “You really are stupid, aren’t you?”

 KAAA—VVVWWOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

 Papyrus fell to his hands and knees, trembling. Sans stood there, eyes dark. “You don’t know this, and I don’t blame you, but you already hurt me. More than you can ever know. You have the relief of not ever knowing, Papyrus. You don’t know and I envy that. I’d give anything to not have what I have. “But now, I just don’t care anymore. You can’t save me, I’m beyond helping. You were the thing that kept me caring, but now… I just don’t want too. So I don’t need you anymore.”

 Papyrus stood there like a statue for what felt like ages, then he spoke.

 “Sans… I… I didn’t know that you felt this way. I am sorry that I didn’t know.”

 Papyrus tried to stand up, but only got as far as straightening up on his knees, “I… if… I hurt you that much… will my death make you happy? If I can…. make you happy, will it help? Will it stop you from hurting? I just want you to be happy.”

 Sans frowned, puzzled.

 “I’ll do anything to make you happy and if I have to die to do it… I… I will. I won’t be able to hurt you anymore. You’ll be happy. And I’ll be too…” he gave one last hopeful smile, dust slowly filling the air, swirling and floating away. Papyrus’s body started to disappear.

 “Goodbye, brother.”

 Then he was gone.

 …

 “Papyrus?” Sans said stupidly, standing there and staring at the dust, “Bro?”

 Confusion trickled like warm water in his mind until a bucket of ice-cold reality struck him out of his sedated state. He stared in horror at the pile of ashes in front of him and he fell to his knees, “PAPYRUS?!”

 Sans shoved his hands in the dust and snow — denial now setting itself in, only for it to struggle against the immense strength of the truth — and digging frantically like a deranged man, as if his brother was just lying under all the snow and debris, all in one piece and alive.

 “PAPRYUS COME BACK! PLEASE ANSWER ME!!! PLEASE!!!”

 Nobody answered.

 “PAPRYUS, I AM NOT KIDDING, PLEASE DON’T BE DEAD; PLEASE SHOW ME THAT I DIDN’T KILL YOU! I NEED YOU, BRO, PLEASE I NEED YOU! GODDAMIT PAPYRUS!!!! PAPYRUS!!!!” Sans screamed.

 …

 “NO! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nO, NO, NO, NO, NO PLEASE! PAPYRUS! BRO, COME BACK, NO I DIDN’T MEAN TO!!!!” Sans was now attacking the snow and flakes of dust filled the air by Sans’ quick and destructive movements.

 But nobody came…

 He began sobbing, falling on his side in grief and overwhelming guilt, he curled up and feeling the wretched thing squirm and claw inside of him, feeling all these immense emotions at once. He wanted to retch up everything he ate, he wanted to scream, but he wanted to laugh. He wanted to die. He wanted to die so badly.

 He felt a hand on his shoulder, but he continued to stare at the ground.

 “There, there, Sans. There is no shame to what you feel. This is only you’re first time after all… I’m sure you’ll get used to it” Chara soothed, massaging his tense and shaking shoulder.

 Sans tried to stop crying, Chara forced the skeleton to look at them, his face and hands were caked with his brother’s remains, tears of pain mixed with it, dripping down his face in large quantities. Hiccupping, sobbing, laughing all at once, he stared into Chara’s crimson eyes.

 “It’s ok, Sans, it’ll be alright. All will just reset and it won’t matter.” Chara lulled.

 “But..But…I’ll still… I… I will… reme…mber, I... I… wanna… forget…” Sans blurted, his words cut off with his broken, shortened breaths.

 “Oh, Sans. I know, but you see; now there is no going back. This is what it is now. You’ll live with you’re choices forever.”

 At that moment, one last thread, one last one which had survived all the abuse given to it and the other threads that had Sans just hanging onto his sanity, all of the others, breaking at the seams, it stayed strong and determined.

 But now it lay, snapped in two in Sans’ mind.

 “Welcome to the Genocide run…”

"Just imagine how good it's gonna feel when you finally wipe the smirk off the smug face of fate itself!"

One of my favorite scenes in LB6.1, honestly. That conversation in Wales was so cute and sweet (and foreshadowing!). Komadori (and guda in general) really needed to hear all that.

[strangefellows]

One of the best parts of LB6 so far, if you ask me. THERE HE IS, THE WHITE DRAGON, MY BOY VORTIGERN~~

This made me so happy, it’s finally in NA, the actual current lore of Vortigern in FGO. My boy. And more than it just being “look Fate Vortigern lore” its just-- he’s my favorite Arthuriana character he’s always been since I was an itty weeny tiny baby reading picture books. Vortigern and the tower and the dragons was my first Arthurian story and I’ve loved it and him ever since more than anything.

So...I’m so glad to see him acknowledged in such a big way.

[strangefellows]

You better be sorry, I’ve been waiting two years for you, you gigantic piece of shit fae (affectionate).

Nice to meet you, too. Seeing you say my name like that makes it worth the wait already.

[strangefellows]

Oberon, Emet, Ardyn, and Luxu :)

favorite thing about them

Oberon: He's incredible. His writing is insanely good. He's a little known Arthurian figure who happens to be my favorite. He's bitter and angry and hateful but he cares so, so much.

Emet: I like tired old men, he's so snarky and obnoxious and dramatic but he's so devoted.

Ardyn: See above, like Emet I like dramatic obnoxious tired immortals, he's so messed up but the tragedy of him is incredibly good and painful.

Luxu: THREE TIRED DRAMATIC OLD MEN! I love them for the same reason.

least favorite thing about them

Oberon: He's not in NA yet. :|

Emet: I really am still somewhat unsatisfied with his ending in EW, but I'm coping.

Ardyn: How BADLY he was handled after the base game came out and until the saving throw of Ep Ardyn but EVEN THEN UGH, I hate his finale in DOTF.

Luxu: All of the questions we still have, how he almost ruined 10 years of Braig headcanons XD

favorite line

Oberon: "A bottomless sky. An empty life. Joy will have its value decreased tomorrow, and suffering will be forgotten together with yesterday. Beautiful things can be awful under certain conditions, and awful things can be beautiful under certain conditions. …Hah, what a laughingstock. Do you really believe there's any substance to life? …Hey, let me know, Blanca. Did your tale go satisfactorily?"

Emet: Either the line about boring him or his speech in Amaurot.

Ardyn: Oh it's been so LONG but his sass is always good.

Luxu: His fucking pre-fight cutscene in KH2 YES I'M COUNTING THAT lives in my head rent free years later.

brOTP

Oberon: Him and Castoria, honestly.

Emet: Ooooh, that's hard. XD Lahabrea?

Ardyn: I have HC friends for him from before everything happened!

Luxu: Radiant Garden Squad!

OTP

Oberon: Him and my Master OC; ObeGuda hell yeah.

Emet: Hyth/Hades/Azem, of course!!!

Ardyn: I do have an OC I ship with him, but also Ardyn and Aera ;u;

Luxu: .....SS dinghy Braig/Even?

nOTP

Oberon: I don't really ship him and Merlin, but also Please do not ship him romantically with Castoria

Emet: Him and Elidibus

Ardyn: Him and Noctis, gah!

Luxu: I...don't really ship him with the other Foretellers? IDK what's a NOTP-- OH WAIT XIGDEM PLEASE NO MORE.

random headcanon

Oberon: Despite all his flirting and playboy behavior if it came down to it he's pretty sex-repulsed.

Emet: He's the youngest of the Emet-Hyth-Azem trio, and he's a bit flustered about it.

Ardyn: He's a very, very good storyteller! He likes telling stories to children, or he used to.

Luxu: Ava was his favorite and he spoiled her rotten; he used to call her Ava-cado as a teasing joke.

unpopular opinion

Oberon: I want more people to play with the Vortigern aspect of him, not the Oberon aspect.

Emet: Like I said above, I'm not the biggest fan of his send-off.

Ardyn: He's nowhere near as sadistic as some people tend to paint him.

Luxu: The "Braig" we knew was ALWAYS Luxu.

song i associate with them

Oberon: This song has HUGE Oberon vibes to me, I love it.

Emet: Honestly? This song and this song were ones I blasted pretty hard when I'd rerun Dying Gasp back in SHB.

Ardyn: This one holy shit this is so very Ardyn.

Luxu: Quite frankly? This one hits.

favorite picture of them

Oberon: Nothing like his fourth ascension, honestly.

Emet: There's so little official art of him :(

Ardyn: This art simultaneously is my favorite and my beloathed because of how they never followed through on it.

Luxu: Nomura's art is always a classic.

[strangefellows]

:) Dantes, Oberon, and Luxu?

First impression

Dantes: KOMAEDA?????????????????????????

Oberon: Oh, cool, Oberon, he has a nice des-- WHAT THE FUCK IS HIS FULL NAME???????? NO FUCKING WAY?????? I NEED HIM

Luxu: Oh, okay, faceless apprentice, he seems sweet-- [cue epilogue of KH3] brb screaming into my pillow

Impression now

Dantes: My god, I love this absolute fucking madlad. My good sir you fuck severely, please keep protecting me in my dreams from horrible beasties.

Oberon: I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM OH MY GOD I AM SAVING LITERALLY ALL MY SQ FOR HIM IN AUGUST I WILL CRY IF I DON'T PULL HIM I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I AM ACTUALLY GOING INSANE I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM AS A CHARACTER

Luxu: That's my tired old man that's my boy that's my love oh my fucking god. I was so mad when they squished him into Braig because I had sO MANY HEADCANONS FOR BRAIG but I worked with it and I love him so much now.

Favorite moment

Dantes: Every time he shows up in our mind to sweep us out of trouble dramatically. Bonus points for everything in Shimousa. He loves us so much, the weirdo.

Oberon: GOD. GOD. His flashback with Castoria where he teaches her magic and barely manages not to blow his cover with just sheer outrage at how they treat her. His genuine vengeful rage over the burning of the Welsh forest despite how much he claimed to loathe it there. The way he almost tore Koyan's throat out immediately on seeing her. How he's one of the only people to look at Fujimaru and be angry about what they've been through on their behalf. Everything about the final confrontation with him. When you summon him after beating LB6 and he's just completely fucking gobsmacked you'd actually want him around after All That Bullshit.

Luxu: The epilogue. His confrontation with Ava. Everything about Bragi.

Idea for a story

Dantes: I want to explore more of his time in Chaldea, not just in Fujimaru's dreams, go talk to other people, have interactions!

Oberon: I NEED PHH VORTIGERN EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW IMMEDIATELY I WANT TO SEE PHH VORTIGERN RECONTEXTUALIZED WITH THIS NEW INFORMATION FROM LB6 I WANT MORE OF THE VORTIGERN PART OF HIS EXISTENCE!!!!

Luxu: Goddd, more of his past lives please.

Unpopular opinion

Dantes: IDK what's popular or not lmao.

Oberon: Related to the above, I think people tend to focus too much on the Oberon aspect? I want to see more focus on Vortigern he's my favorite part of this whole amalgam, I desperately want to see PHH Vortigern looked at again now that they've retconned Garden of Avalon's version. There's SO much potential.

Luxu: I absolutely do not like this painting of him as cruelly stealing other people's bodies like Xehanort, I don't like the idea that Braig was bodysnatched DURING BBS, I don't like the focus on what if Braig/Bragi are still in there. I prefer a juxtaposition where he's gentler about it and I definitely think we've only ever known Braig as Luxu.

Favorite relationship

Dantes: Besides the comedy of Dantes and Nightingale, I love him and Fujimaru's relationship so much. I kinda ship it ngl.

Oberon: LB6 TRIO OBERON FUJIMARU CASTORIA I CRY UNCONTROLLABLY, DEAR GOD. But also please for the love of god let me explore Oberon and Merlin's relationship especially in context of the mythos with Vortigern and Emrys holy shit.

Luxu: RADIANT GARDEN SQUAD ACTIVATE but also him and the other Foretellers, Oof.

Favorite headcanon

Dantes: Despite being his usual batshit self in most settings, due to my Fujimaru's unique abilities he's a bit more chill if he's in Chaldea proper, and he actually Needs those glasses he wears in the summer alt outfit.

Oberon: OH GOD I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN WITH THESE. Please don't make me start in on my Vortigern headcanons and my hcs for my version of him in Chaldea, I have way too many. But here's one: PHH Vortigern raised Merlin for at least part of his life. Fuck your timeline weirdness.

Luxu: Luxu and Braig's hearts accidentally merged so they're literally the same person now, whoopsie. That's why he says this is his last vessel. He Can't Leave. Good thing he doesn't need to!

Oho, gotcha~

📝Share a snippet of an unposted WIP, with or without context.

In honor of LB6 Part 3 coming in 5 days, here's a bit of my WIP LB6 finale fic for my FGO Master OC, Komadori. She may or may not have done several somethings stupid. I am SO excited to see the official translation for that finale, my god....

[strangefellows]

I'd ask about all your servant hcs but I'm still working my way through UBW before I even get back to FGO, so I'm restraining for the sake of avoiding spoilers. If you wanna gush about Vortigern and who he is in the myths, and how that might compare to FGO, that'd be neat though! I know nothing about him so I'm curious.

UGH FUCK TUMBLR ATE THE FIRST VERSION OF THIS SO THIS IS GOING TO BE SHORTER AND WORSE BUT

Vortigern, okay, so. 

IRL mythology wise he's not really...he's a lot older, and really there's only one myth tying him to Arthuriana -- my favorite lol -- and that's the story of him, Merlin/Emrys, and the dragons.

According to legend, when Vortigern fled into Wales to escape the Anglo-Saxon invaders, he chose this lofty hillfort as the site for his royal retreat. Every day his men would work hard erecting the first of several proposed towers; but the next morning they would return to find the masonry collapsed in a heap. This continued for many weeks until Vortigern was advised to seek the help of a young boy not conceived by a mortal man. The King sent his soldiers out across the land to find such a lad. The boy they found was called Myrddin Emrys (Merlin Ambrosius). Vortigern, following the advice of his councillors, was planning to kill the boy in order to appease supernatural powers that prevented him from building a fortress here. Merlin scorned this advice, and instead explained that the hillfort could not stand due to a hidden pool containing two vermes (dragons). He explained how the White Dragon of the Saxons, though winning the battle at present, would soon be defeated by the Welsh Red Dragon. After Vortigern's downfall, the fort was given to High-King Ambrosius Aurelianus, known in Welsh as Emrys Wledig, hence its name. (Wikipedia, Dinas Emrys)

As for Fate Vortigern -- specifically PHH (Proper Human History) Vortigern -- we have info on him from an older novel and from FGO itself; the FGO info does contradict some of the older info, but not all, so for the most part I’ll be relying on the FGO stuff.

Near the end of the fifth century, after the Roman Empire's collapse, Britain was inhabited by many tribes led by kings. The kings worked together except for Vortigern. The brother of the strongest king Uther Pendragon, Vortigern was said to be the personification of the white dragon, born from within Britain to destroy it. He was born by Britain itself interfering with his conception, making him something more than human. He was the incarnation of the will that tried to reject the Age of Man. [...] Artoria Pendragon, the incarnation of the red dragon, was created by Uther to oppose the incarnation of the white dragon, Vortigern. (TypeMoon Wiki, Vortigern)

Now, okay. Given that whole ‘Vortigern is the white dragon and Artoria is the red dragon’ and they’re meant to oppose each other, especially given it says ‘incarnation of the will that tried to reject the Age of Man’ -- it’s pretty easy to assume that Vortigern, the white dragon, is an embodiment of Gaia. I mean, FGO basically straight up confirms this:

Goredolf Musik states Proper Human History Vortigern is a Fae embodiment of Britain's will, specifically to preserve its Mysteries and destroy its humans. (TypeMoon Wiki, Vortigern)

Which, like Britain’s will = the Planet’s will = Gaia for sure. After all, Gaia is explicitly the Planet’s will to survive, and the wiki even states that Gaia can and will see humans as a Threat to be Dealt With. And it tracks with Artoria being his opposition and a King of Mankind, given she would be an embodiment of Alaya to be his equal and opposite. In fact, yeah, this is where the novel also supports this too:

Vortigern is fundamentally opposed to humans ruling Britain and wants it to remain a land dominated by Mystery. (TypeMoon Wiki, Vortigern)

Really, Vortigern’s origins are the only thing the novel contradicts; but FGO is more recent, so I stick with just what it says, which is the above. And that to me opens a very interesting can of worms that parallels really delightfully with LB Vortigern, which is where the actual main part of the theory is. 

I’m specifically talking about the line “He was born by Britain itself interfering with his conception, making him something more than human.” Looking at that, looking at the fact that ‘Vortigern the White Dragon’ is more or less explicitly a Fae creature and implicitly a child of Gaia, and then looking at the fact that shoving THAT into a human vessel is probably a shitty idea, given that Humanity is the exact opposite of what Gaia represents…PHH Vortigern probably had a real bad time. After all, a Fae soul/Spirit Origin/essence in a human body seems like it would be fundamentally incompatible. An existential contradiction (looks at LB Vortigern pointedly). ESPECIALLY with the fact of his Faerie Eyes (which he probably also had in PHH if it states outright he’s a Fae), and that it specifies that a human would probably go insane with them. It’s really not hard to imagine that he started out fairly okay, but the pain and misery of his contradictory existence drove him insane.

I’m not sure if I want to buy that ‘destroy humanity in Britain’ was part of the initial ‘preserve Britain’s Mysteries’ goal, or if maybe he at first simply didn’t want to follow through with that part, being partially human, but by the end it’s clear he went completely mad and, well, destroy everything time! (Looks at LB Vortigern again.) Basically the parallels track really, really well, as someone who never meant to be truly evil, just a being created for a purpose, but the contradictory existence forced on him drove him insane with pain and misery until he just went full scorched earth on the world that was making him suffer. It’s just the specific contradiction (reality vs lies/fiction and human vs fae/nature) that differs. 

So following that, it’s my personal headcanon that PHH Vortigern was a good dude his early life, just Different and Faerielike, but over time his existence simply drove him mad and gave us the Vile King Vortigern he was at the end of it, so full of pain and rage and hate that he wanted to take it all with him. I would be happy to infodump about my further headcanons, namely his personality, relationship with Merlin, and all that, but that’s for a different post. (As is my headcanons about Merlin himself, which are probably extremely controversial lmao.)

[strangefellows]

So, yeah, here’s a bunch of stuff about my FGO Master, Komadori Fujimaru!

I know a lot of people go Full OC with their mastersona, but I really, really like Gudako’s design, so I stick with that but made her my own! Very very much my own.

Featuring her with her best bud Cu and her shiny asshole boyfriend Gil, and her usual mission team. (Yes it’s unbalanced AF no I don’t care about the meta.)

If you can’t read Komadori’s bio, it’s as follows (with her major relationships!); see readmore~

Komadori Fujimaru, age 22 (as of 2015), college grad -- anthropology major -- and part time librarian who rolled on into Chaldea to avoid the crippling existential ennui and depression brought on by losing her brother Ritsuka (yes, ‘Gudao’) when they were kids traumatically and her horrible neglectful parents. Before Chaldea, she was deeply lonely and just going through the motions save for her one true passion -- history/anthropology, which she loved since she was a child; myths and legends and the heroes within had been basically her only friends for most of her life. So, in Chaldea, this is basically her dream come true, she adores it there, it’s the best thing to ever happen to her, she’s genuinely happy and surrounded by friends for the first time since Ricchan died.

She’s an absolute troll chaos gremlin loud sarcastic force of nature, she is, she does not take shit, she isn’t afraid of you, and she will do stupid shit for the lols. Like, all of the troll/silly/jokey dialogue options? Her. She’s just full of life and cheer and joy and love for all of this period, and it means the world to her that she’s not pretending anymore. She is living her best life. She is also a huge, huge nerd, and will make pop culture jokes.

Unfortunately she also has PTSD from losing her brother how she did -- he saved her from a car accident at the cost of his life -- so, she uh. Does not handle heroic sacrifices or similar very well. At all. This proves very fun for her! (Not.)

Being told ‘welcome home’ (okaeri, more or less) means a lot to her too due to her previous loneliness, and it WILL make her cry.

She is -- in universe anyway -- a pro at summoning to abnormal levels, and most Servants she summons remember the Singularities/Lostbelts even when they’re technically not supposed to. No one is sure why, especially since she’s totally average a mage otherwise. She’s just completely a prodigy when i comes to specifically he handling of Heroic Spirits.

( This is because, unbeknownst to her or anyone else because the initial medical exam missed it and then Chaldea blew up so the equipment just wasn’t available for them to figure it out, she’s a homunculus. She and her brother were created by British mages and their cores were attuned to Alaya and Gaia respectively; they were inactive, though, so they were shipped off to a nonmage ally family, the Fujimarus, for observation. But once Ritsuka died, the whole project was axed because what use is one without the other? Her core, however, activated when she hit Chaldea, so she is absolutely just a slowly-awakening conduit for Alaya and the Throne of Heroes. As for Ritsuka...well, his story might not be as over as it seems. He’s a conduit for Gaia, after all. )

As for relationships...

She fell very hard for Roman by the end of the Grand Order, and was thusly devastated at the Temple, especially because she never got to tell him. This ‘Chaldean’ guy in the Lostbelts is both a spot of hope and ENDLESSLY GODDAMN FRUSTRATING, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU.

She also fell extremely hard for Gilgamesh -- of ALL people, she’s aware her taste is questionable but she’d loved the Epic before Chaldea shut up -- during Babylonia, and she basically spent the whole time sassing/flirting with him. She at first thought he was gorgeous but an insufferable prick, but warmed to him and by the end she had fallen very hard and basically almost cried into the summoning circle after Temple for him to come home. Lucky for her, her very vibrant personality and the way she both respects him and takes ABSOLUTELY NONE of his shit made the affection reciprocal. They’re awful, they sass each other constantly, get a room you losers. She wears his Valentine’s present bracelet all the time.

Her 100% top best friends are Robin, Cu, and Merlin.

Merlin and her are terrible gossipy trolls who sip tea together and talk shit, and bond over missing Roman if/when they get stupid drunk. She adores this absolute shithead wizard man. She WILL roast him constantly, with affection.

Robin she befriended in America and they got a lot closer when he brought him to Babylonia with her; they have a pretty close friendship -- her name, Komadori, means ‘robin’, so she was fond of him as a folk hero before Chaldea, and she was delighted to meet him. They’re bird buddies! Their relationship is basically him going WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS while she does dumb shit, but with fond exasperation. Someone has to carry her out of stupid situations, after all!

Cu was always one of her all time favorite legends, and she summoned him literally right after Singularity F; however, they didn’t bond until America. Because yes, they had the horrible luck of Cu going to America with her. The, uh, repeated slam dunks into Cu’s repressed trauma buttons made Komadori super protective, and at this point they are absolutely ride or die for each other. He’s the first person she goes to if she needs support or to talk or vent.

Drake is...well, they got drunk and probably had sex the first time they met in Okeanos? They’re basically drinking buddy besties with benefits. Komadori absolutely adores the woman, what a great friend.

Komadori ended up with a huge, huge, huge crush on Musashi, and considers her her best girlfriend, and Musashi feels the same, they’re ridiculous chaos gremlin gals, Shimousa was a ride, Vegas was a ride, best galpals ever. Olympus Sucked.

Emiya was one of the other first Servants Komadori called after Fuyuki, and at this point he’s her tired sarcastic protagonist brother-from-another-mother, they’re both full of sass and doneness and snark and Really Exasperated 20-Somethings. They have a bit of a clash over Komadori’s relationship with Gil, given Emiya remembers UBW and is wary of him, but they mostly agree to disagree on that and get on well otherwise.

Mash is Komadori’s baby sister, she imprinted on her as a sort of...”I failed my baby brother but I’ll protect her now” thing. She absolutely would kill and die for Mash, her baby sister. Baby. Protecc. Baby.

Honorable mentions for Servants Komadori’s really close to are: Dantes, Mordred, Ushiwakamaru, Osakabe, Mandricardo, Jeanne Alter, Jinako, Sanson, and obviously Enkidu (they double team Gil it’s hilarious). Moriarty is her Evil Ojiisan and she loves him too.

Oberon-Vortigern is TBA, along with Castoria; I am 90% blind for LB6 so will decide her relationship to them along the way, but tentatively Castoria is Little Sister #2 and ObeVorti is gonna either be a bestie or she’s going to fall hard.

[strangefellows]

A thing I think about a lot, even not knowing much about LB6, is Oberon-Vortigern. I know his story more or less, and I've seen a lot of meta posts, and I know he's going to crush me into mushy feelings paste when I get to meet him. But like.

Listen. One of my first and most formative Arthuriana experiences was Jane Yolen's Merlin and the Dragons. If you don't know it, it's a retelling of the story of Merlin (well, Emrys) and Vortigern and the two dragons beneath the tower. Like that was the first real taste of Arthurian stories I had and it sticks to me hard. I've always been so excited whenever I see Vortigern in ANYTHING, like the Guy Ritchie Arthur movie more like one of my FAVORITES because LOOK ITS MY BOY. Vortigern and the dragons is literally my favorite Arthurian myth.

And so obviously, when I found out about Oberon-Vortigern, I absolutely lost my mind.

I know a lot of people love exploring the Oberon aspects, the Titania thing and all that, but for me I just want to sit here rolling around and thinking about PHH Vortigern, about what LB Vortigern could have been if he hadn't been affected, about, if you could fix his Spirit Origin — if PHH Vortigern had a similar problem; it says one thing in the Garden of Avalon novel and another in FGO according to the wiki but I can't help but think that a conceptual being so tied to the planet like Vortigern (aka a piece of Albion) would have suffered a lot being bound to a human shape and soul. Like it says how shitty Faerie Eyes can be for humans, if he had them, that would have been awful. It says it almost drove Castoria crazy, oof. There's got to be some parallels somewhere with Melusine, too.

IDK, I’m just...fascinated by his Vortigern aspect, I want to play with it so much, I’ve worked on a ton of PHH Vortigern headcanons -- did he meet little Artoria at all before she went to Ector? Did he meet Morgan as a child? How did he get on with Uther? Most importantly, Merlin. Merlin Merlin how did he meet him, what was their relationship, what happened between them, did PHH Vortigern impart any of his personality or quirks to Merlin, was he a brat too or was he more like Oberon-Vortigern once he drops the act, or was he somewhere in the middle? And what was his descent into madness and the black knight/dragon Artoria fought like, was it all at once, was it gradual, what was the point of no return?

And like I said, like, could PHH Vortigern ever be a Servant? Could there be a version of him ‘uncorrupted’ by either the Oberon Spirit Origin or whatever drove him mad in PHH? (I might have an idea for a Ruler class Vortigern (True) Servant oops) Just. Vortigern!!! So fascinating. I love him. I’m gonna love him more when I meet him.
