I know we are on X-Men rn and I love it but this has been ping ponging through my head for weeks now and you're the only person on Tumblr I see talking about Fionn and Diarmuid ever so. The Pursuit but it's Fionn chasing after Graine to get Diarmuid back
You will be glad to know I have thought about this scenario many a time and it is in fact canon to my fate works that acknowledge The Pursuit [which is rare lmao]
So in my Fate works it goes like this: Fionn wasn't angry at Diarmuid, he was pissed at Grainne and his men for letting such a thing happen, but if he did kill Grainne it would've lead to war with the High King which is why the conflict with Dia happens! He's trying to stop Fionn murdering her and Fionn gets progressively more upset, confused and frustrated by it because he's no longer seeing things from the perspective of a King himself but rather from someone whose friend is hurting, whereas Diarmuid is operating on a mindset based on politics
#auniverseforgotten#asks#that's the quick and easy version of my fanon events anyway hehe#my legacy in fate fandom really is just these two huh

I'm looking for books on Diarmuid & Grainne (and also the fianna in general) and the first books popping up on good reads are a romance trilogy that's modern day girlie x Diarmuid and it's totally the trashy romance I love except it's YA, simultaneously a retelling of Diarmuid and also he's an ancient warrior, and features the Victorian era New Yorker heroine claiming a fantasy druid title based on *Google it* a Germania Seeress???
Also they changed Finn's name to.... Patrick..... For some reason....???

Comfort From Your Lancers Ch 3
Diarmuid noticed your miserable state. Your miserable, irritable state. When you responded immaturely to his verbal attempts to offer help, he took matters into his own hands. He took you into his own hands. He held you tight to his body and hummed. His cheek on your hair. You tried to pull away and stay angry but he held tight. "No," he said very, very gently. That broke your defenses. You started to cry into his shirt. And then sob. "It's okay. It's okay." "I-I'm just so frustrated, D-dia," you told him. You wound your arms around his ribcage and squeezed. "I know." Cu came home from work that moment, with some takeout he had grabbed on the way. Diarmuid gave him a meaningful look and Cu quietly put the takeout on the kitchen table. He padded over to you two. His hand came to rest on your upper back. "Need me to beat someone up?" he asked. "No." He chuckled. Of course not. "C'mon, let's eat." He beckoned you both to follow him to the kitchen. "That sounds good," you said. Diarmuid let you go then. You sat at the table and ate. The food filled your belly and soothed you. Partway through, you reached across the table to Diarmuid. He took your hand and gave you a smile. Cu watched this, knowing you were taken care of. He would have felt jealous and left out but he was too tired from work. He offered to cuddle you after dinner as his contribution. Something that would make you both happy. The two of you burrowed under all the blankets together in the bed, warm, and comforted.

Oh it was grainne! I missed it ! but I was hoping for a pure guda x diar thing 👉👈🥺 but it’s your writing so I understand if not ❤️🔥
It's fine lmao here's even more of them:
Erin's favorite thing about Guda is her general ability to not be too worried about ...well, anything. It's always fun with her.
He learned to be clever because of his early days with his bio mom, but with Guda, he learns quickly he doesn't really...have to be. He can just be a kid and do kid things. And that's okay. :)
Aoife was a little too young to remember what Grainne was like, and adapted almost immediately to Guda, especially because of her bright orange hair. Guda noticed Aoife's interest in arts early on, so she bought Diar a paint set one weekend. They still use it to fingerpaint.
Donn, Diarmuid's dad, was initially a bit cautious with Guda, considering she was rather ordinary compared to his last wife and maybe even a little quirky. But he learned later that it was exactly that kind and quirky personality that kept Diar happy. Plus it also seemed that Guda didn't really care about Diarmuid's face too much, so he could be sure she wasn't into his son for his looks (bruh, you wouldn't believe the sigh of relief he made when Guda smashed wedding cake into Diar's face and kissed him anyway. He was just happy for his son.)
#i keep rolling with my hc that fae people are arts ppl please ignore me HAHAHA#akampana asks#-ship questions

Omg ilysm for all your hard work and Diarmuid for 700 followers game!!!
Diarmuid Thoughts!
favorite thing about them.
Definitely his plot line in Fate/Zero. He was the man who tried so hard to grasp liberty, only for it to be ripped from his hands by the people around him, exemplifying the possibilities and failure of human power. Even as someone destined for a tragic end, I admire how hard Dia tried to overcome his shackles and become his own person. I genuinely cried so hard watching The End of Honor (no spoilers lol) and even the F/Z staff, Midorikawa Hikaru (his va) were very deeply moved by how well the final scene was handled.
least favorite thing about them
His writing in F/GO is TERRIBLE. I absolutely hate how he’s been reduced to Fionn’s consensual lackey leech. It’s just lazy. When he was featured in the F/Z event, that was the one time I genuinely enjoyed his involvement literally bc Fionn wasn’t there. When his Saber version comes out, you can bet I will beat the heck out of Fionn every chance I get.
favorite line
“Master, today is your birthday, isn't it? Here you go, a flower I picked earlier.” His birthday line is my favorite
brOTP
Diarmuid x Cu Chulainn
OTP
Diarmuid x Arturia Pendragon
nOTP
Diarmuid x Grainne
random headcanon
Diarmuid and Arturia go out to eat together often (though they refuse to call it a date but lol) and they always have an Asian uncle/auntie-level polite fight over who will cover the bill.
“Nononononono, Saber, please let me cover the costs this time as my knight’s honor forbids me from asking a lady for such a favor.”
Nononononononononono Lancer, it is part of my honor and duty to pay for your meal as an appreciation for spending time with me.
“Nonononono”
“Nononononononono”
And it continues.....until they both end up shoving money in the poor waiter’s face to avoid being ungraciously kicked out.
unpopular opinion
RESPECT OUR POOR, BEAUTIFUL, LANCER BRO NO 2 MORE
song i associate with them (if I have one)
Just the F/Z soundtrack in general I guess
favorite picture of them (if I have one)

I dreamt we slept in a moss in Donegal On turf banks under blankets, with our faces Exposed all night in a wetting drizzle, Pallid as the dripping sapling birches. Lorenzo and Jessica in a cold climate. Diarmuid and Grainne waiting to be found. Darkly asperged and censed, we were laid out Like breathing effigies on a raised ground. And in that dream I dreamt — how like you this? Our first night years ago in that hotel When you came with your deliberate kiss To raise us towards the lovely and painful Covenants of flesh; our seperateness; The respite in our dewy dreaming faces.
X, from Glanmore Sonnets, by Seamus Heaney

I recently created 2 paintings for engagement gifts of the locations of where the proposals happened. 💍 I thought this was such a lovely idea as a gift and since the paintings have now been received by the couples I wanted to share them with you. This one is of "Diarmuid & Grainne's Cave, Mullagmore". It's 6 x 8" on wood with gold enamel painted sides. I like to add symbology into my paintings when I can so I put 2 connected circles on the bottom right to symbolise the wedding rings and also circles are a symbol of oneness and unity. I have also placed the initials of the couple as graffiti on the old ruins of the house. I will share the other painting tomorrow.🖌️ #engagementart #engagementgift #mullagmore #diarmuidandgrainnescave #diarmuidandgrainne #sligoart #artcommission #instaart #artoftheday #romanticgift #weddingart #weddinggift #weddingproposal https://www.instagram.com/p/CN0SjPmn1PI/?igshid=1juhim2p36tj1

...Is it terrible that I say that in some records of Druime (or Eachtach in this case, whichever name refers to the daughter of Diarmuid & Grainne) [x] one of my favorite things is that she broke 3 of Fionn's ribs in battle and it was bad enough to spend "seven half-years" (aka 7 * 0.5 = 3.5 years) healing

☄x 5 for grainne?
While obviously the body she inhabits is that of Sola-Ui, it is more of a copy of the body of Sola that inherited the mage’s memories that were overridden by Grainne. The only way for Grainne to be called forth was to have a physical anchor in this world, a she cannot be normally summoned by the Grail as a Heroic Spirit.
Grainne had wanted more children, in all honesty. She had plenty of boys but only one lone daughter and thought it would have been nice to have a slightly bigger brood with a few more females. At the very least, she’d wanted another daughter but circumstances had her unable to have another child with Diarmuid.
Though she is called forth as a Lancer (Bride) her original class was Archer, being that she was trained to use a bow and arrow. She has some of the worst stats for a Lancer though, probably due to the fact that she’s not a true Lancer.
A lot of versions of her legend involve her marrying Fionn after everything; she didn’t. She really didn’t. She went to her grave a widow and even spurned Fionn further when he dared to ask her for her hand again. According to Grainne, she pretended to agree after all her children had grown into adults, then stole a horse on the wedding day and rode herself to her doom right over a cliff.
On a more cheerful note; Grainne is a very capable cook. Originally she wasn’t very good at it, but due to the necessity of being on the run, she leaned how to make a meal as well as get creative with what she had on hand.

Fionn's not actually bad at all from a lore prospective though? Like stats are bs but his stats are equal or better than Cu's while under Chaldea with both of them Lancers: Fionn has greater strength, agility, constitution, luck, and np than Cu, and equal magic. Personal skill wise he has greater magic resistance as well. Cu's divinity is higher but that's only relevant against Enkidu, Ozy's temple, and Achilles invincibility.
Personal Skill wise Fionn has 2 to Cu's 3, with him having greater overall magic knowledge (Cu is better than him at Runes but only as a Caster). And then Clairvoyance is hard to say either way beyond that he could bs an Archer if you gave him strong enough equipment (he may also be able to see potential futures, and invisible beings based off the other holders but we don't know enough. Cu's skills are definitely overall better from what we've seen at least given they help make him a cockroach in and out of gameplay (and let him stall an unserious Gil for several hours).
NP wise his spear (which is a sword in actual myths) basically gives him the Bravery personal Skill at A+ (same rank as Herk), auto attacks without him needing to do anything, and functions as a water cannon. Gae Bolg's throw version is weaker than MaL's water cannon function, and while the close range version is great as Emiya repeatedly demonstrates in Fsn as long as you don't let him finish making the pose and saying its name or retreat outside of its 30 meter range you're fine. And then while you can quibble about his thumb and healing waters ranks as NPs they're still really good.
Hell he even wins the Third Fuyuki Grail War (or somehow loses to Amakusa in Apo timelines).
Fionn's problems aren't that he's weak. Its that he's just there for Diarmuid cuck jokes with the exception of Titoria's interlude and JP New Year's 2019. Which isn't helped at all by his gameplay being a broken mess that only becomes decent after multiple buffs.
Trouble with Woman is literally the greatest example of this as rather than give him God or Mystic Slayer like Scathach and Raikou he gets a nonexistent joke skill about how shit he is with women (when that only applies to Grainne). The My Room dialouge accidentally lampshades it as the reason Medb wouldn't fuck him is because he spends all their time talking about how amazing his first two wives were (well that and he just doesn't like her pretty face or no).
Its like if instead of focusing on her personal philosophy, knightly conduct, or struggles with being a king 99% of anything involving Artoria is just jokes about how Lancelot fucked Guinevere.
His only hope is getting pitied by Nasu, or Sakurai and even then its unlikely that they'll make him an Arts Caster better or equal to Tamamo and Gil, and his other options are Arts Archer and Saber. He has no fans because he's mostly "look at the guy Diarmuid cucked!" and "Hey Diarmuid, try not to cuck x eh?" which makes him disliked by Diarmuid fans, those who don't care aren't interested since he's devoid of much substance, leaving those few who love the cuck jokes, those who like him because they're interested in him showing off more (lore), and those who are interested because of his myths.
And as he barely has any fans -> he won't reappear and get a better role in an event or story chapter -> without reappearing he won't gain more fans -> leaving him trapped in the mire of Finn McCuck -> repeat.
Or the alternative cycle: He's not good in gameplay ->Bad spook I wanted Karna/Bradamante/insert gold lancer here -> I hate Fionn -> Fionn is unpopular-> Fionn is left behind as a janky mess and can only receive piecemeal fixes until he's finally usable -> But Insert Lancer here can do ABC better! -> He's not good in gameplay -> Repeat
Either that or Moriyama really wants to draw older black haired bearded Fionn and Nasu or Sakurai love it enough to add him.
I really like Fionn Mac Cumhaill.
I wanna learn more about his original legends. Like this dude’s clearly got some sort of water shtick in all his attack animations and I’ve got no idea what that’s about.

Protoverse HC’s
Arthurian legends are the OG version IE: Mordred is Arthur’s nephew + a good dude, Guenivere is a name shared between 3 sisters all of whom are Arthur’s wives, Morgan is a good mentor etc
There are two Gilgamesh’s and they’re twins. M!Gilgamesh is the one who romanced Enkidu and Lady Gil is the one who tried to become immortal
ProtoCu is technically a genderbend bc he’s not cis-male he’s genderqueer
All the arthurian knights are trans. Trans male, trans NB, trans agender, just. All trans. Deal with it (Tristan is AFAB but still genderfluid like her counterpart)
Nobu is still NB but he’s amab and very masc
Lady Solomon/Romani is married to M!Sheba
Leonardo is a gay man like he was irl
Merlin and Morgan are wives and also Arthur’s moms
Ladymuid and LadyFionn come from a universe where Grainne doesn’t exist, so Fionn never married her in any capacity (not even the “they had a mutual divorce” version)
Unlike her counterpart, Ladymuid doesn’t disguise herself with a glamour nor does she have any angst related to her bloodline
Ladymuid is trans lesbian to parallel Diarmuid being trans gay
Chubby DILF Medb thank you for listening
Lady Robin x Dude Francis is *pacha meme*
Enkidu is masc NB
The Gil’s are a double summon but if one dies the other can still carry on
Lady Okada. That is all
Lady Moritholomew and Lady Count Dandy are god tier actually
Dude Shuten and Ibaraki
The greeks are still hairy cuz I’m not a coward
Male Medusa is genuinely blind
Ladymuid is really tall btw we love her
Male Anne Bonny is literally the sexiest man I’ve ever imagined holy shit
And that’s it so far but I’ll add more as I think of them!
