I realized too late that the slight gradient on his hair is in fact NOT colored strands of hair, but I couldn't turn back so

I dusted and changed the poses/faces for my babies today! 😌

So, I've been wondering for a while. Why the hell is Ozymandias so fixated on Guda's eyes? He just demands to see them with no explanation whatsoever. I knew vaguely that eyes held an important symbolism in ancient Egypt, but I wasn't aware of the specifics, so I did a little research.

Apparently, eyes are a sort of divine manifestation in Egyptian mythology. There's the famous Eye of Horus, the left eye of the aforementioned deity which is associated with healing, protection and the moon, and the Eye of Ra, a sort of divine feminine aspect associated with the sun (and Ra). In general, both the sun and the moon are seen as divine eyes that can grant blessings and even manifest power on their own as deities.

Furthermore, the belief in the evil eye was prominent in ancient Egypt too. Actually, I was surprised to find out that it was a very ancient and widespread belief in many corners of the world! In general, there's always the idea that a "malevolent glare" (out of envy, jealousy, other negative emotions or an outright supernatural force) could curse people.

So, with all that information in hand, there's three options here:

1.) Ozymandias, as an incarnation of Ra, wants to bestow divine protection upon Ritsuka via direct eye contact;

2.) Ozymandias wants to check if Ritsuka got cursed by the evil eye from somewhere;

3.) The first two options at the same time.

Of course, this is all vaguely educated headcanon. I'm 90% sure the actual writers just wanted Ozy to get cozy with Guda, lmao.

I actually made some more swim suite of other characters with ozymandias, Arjuna and Percival. I had originally wanted to add Chiron and karna but I want to move onto other projects so here is the final result. Hope you all like them too!

Midnight of January 1st, just as the clock rolled over into the New Year: Well, the shop has reset now, I should buy the summon tickets.

Me, continuing to be an absolute fool: Hey, wouldn't be funny if I threw these at the Story Banner? It'll probably be nothing but whatev-

Me: Ha! That's crazy! Maybe this is a sign I'll have good luck this year.

TICKETS SPENT: 1

Months later, the Traum Pre-Release Banner: Man, I know everyone complains about Konstantinos' kit, but he's so cool. Another Defense focused unit would be nice too.... No no no, I'm saving for Charlie and Wakamori, I can't roll.

The month changes, resetting the shop: Okay well, if use the monthly tickets, then I can at least say I tried and I won't have to feel bad about not pull-

TICKETS SPENT: 2

Three days ago, me, a starry-eyed idiot: Well, while I managed to get Charlemagne, the 500+ SQ I had left wasn't enough for Wakamori, so I've got to save up for his rerun at the end of the year! Hmm, the new event? Usually I do a multi or some singles for CEs, but now I gotta save every penny. Oh, I have some tickets left over, I'll just use maybe five of these and see what I-

TICKETS SPENT: 1

I know I should be calling this a Pharaoh's Blessing, but deep down it almost feels like a curse.....

So I will dance with Cinderella ( Papa Ozymandias and Gudako)

Author's note: This idea struck me while I was listening to Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman and coincidentally remember a small fandom in Pixiv, making Ozymandias a father figure to Gudako. These characters are from Fate Grand Order.

-----

When did the time go? Ah it is really a hassle for such a radiant being such as I, the King of Kings and the incarnation of the Sun god Ra, the shining God King Ozymandias. Time is a fickle being that eludes even I. Yet that little girl, the Chaldean master, whose golden eyes glows nearly similar to such I, seem to be content lazing her days away although she does show potential.

Yet when did she became as dear to him, as what his beloved and younger brother is to him?

She spins and she sways to whatever song plays Without a care in the world And I'm sitting here wearing The weight of the world on my shoulders

She got better at fighting, ever since I first lay my eyes on her, her bravery, her foolishness, her courage...

Silly child. She leads her servants with such determination, even as the world and the universe itself began to test her mettle.

She is still a child at the end of the day, her youth and her charisma. I do not know why but I often wish she could have enjoyed her years like her peers.

Instead she acts as a hero, therapist, a king (such a title befitting such as her), master, and other terms that best describe this child.

I have no idea why we began to spend time together, of course the other servants make such remarks about us being seen often. Ha, romantic partners? No one can beat his beloved Queen in that category.

That child just makes his heart clench.

It's been a long day and there's still work to do She's pulling at me saying, "Dad, I need you There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited And I need to practice my dancin' Oh, please, daddy, please"

"Pleeeeease Pharaoh!" Gudako puts her hands together in a begging position. "Can you please teach me?? The others are busy and you're a Pharaoh once, surely you can teach me!?" she looks up pitifully. I laugh loudly "Ho! You ask for my assistance little mage? Very well!" I then pat her head "I expect I shall be rewarded me more of your current age's technology, Gold one and I need more games to compete!"

"Yes yes yes! And thank you! I don't know why Marie wanted a ball." Gudako sighs "Oh shoot I better get the Cu group to the training room, I'll see you later Pa-" she froze and turns red. "S-sorry!" Pa...?

...hahaha...

I cover my eyes as I laugh. Of course, that is the answer, how could I, the Great Pharaoh of Egypt, forget?

"I permit you to address me such, Gudako." I pat her head as she gape at me. She then smiles wide.

So I will dance with Cinderella While she is here in my arms 'Cause I know something the prince never knew Oh, I will dance with Cinderella I don't want to miss even one song 'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight And she'll be gone

Ah the ball, granted what he usually held back then is different from what the Queen of France is doing. It is unseemly for I to not attend. The King of Knights, the male one, and Golden One are beside me, we the Kings should observe how the children are to act. (King of Knight enough of those potato dishes, you act no different from your counterparts).

"Papa!" Golden one stare at me incredulously "She address you as a father?" his red eyes scan me. "Ho, are you envious that a child of her ability address me such? Such a worthy child as well." I slyly raise my wine. He snort "Hardly, Sun King. She is still a mongrel though worthy in my older self's eyes. I make exceptions to that." he sips his wine. I turn around to see Gudako-- I could not breathe. She looks beautiful, like a goddess, a princess-- Princess... his little princess... "What do you think papa?" she smiles at me "I ho--" "Radiant." I whisper to her "You are as radiant as the stars in the sky, little one." I extend my hand to her "Are you not going to dance with your father, little one?" I smiled softly to her. (I shall ignore those annoying light flashes from those cameras, honestly back in his days memories are more precious, living the moment than trying to capture a moment you are not in.)

Gudako giggles at me as she accepts my hand. "Of course I will dance with you papa!" I spun her slowly as our feet moves with the rhythm, as the minutes pass, those horrendous thoughts resurface... She's mortal, she could be attack at anytime... but for now, a dance will preserve their time together.

I held her hand a bit tightly, squeezing it a bit but not too hard.

For now, she is in my arms, dancing as her laughter echoes.

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed She wants to know if I approve of the dress She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away And I need to practice my dancin' Oh, please, daddy, please"

"What in Ra's name is prom..?" I look at Gudako as she and I went to the market-- mall. "All I see is a dance event similar to balls except with more alcohol for underage children like you." I mumbled

"It is like a rite of passage, Edison told me those around my age do this when they are in school." she tug me "Everyone is holding a Chaldean version of it. They say in America parents take their children to go shopping for the clothes~" she giggles.

Honestly those dresses do not fit her at all. "Such folly, little one." Although it is to be expected, I am use to her antics after all these years. "I can host events just for you."

Ah brother... my beloved Nefertari, you would adore her.

"Eh the point is it'll be among my age." she then grins "Buuuut--" I laugh "Ah you have yet to master dancing? Even when I started to mentor you for a few years? Perhaps you should cut back your habit playing with the sphinxes and stop skipping those lessons." I tease.

"Ah but papa!" she whines "You gave them to me!" she pouts. "Also I though you like--" "As a peer but not as a suitor to a child of mine." grumbling, an idea struck me "Honestly must you entertain his courtship? You, who I adopt and love as my own, shall be a Queen of her own Kingdom and lead legions of worthy servants, why, I can create a magnificent pyramid for you!"

Why do you even need to go away? You're still a child- my child.

"Papa! He's a nice guy and he helps me!"

"Well Golden One is not so nice but he helps, King of Knights is nice but a glutton--"

"Uncle Gilgil and Uncle Arthur are different!"

So I will dance with Cinderella While she is here in my arms 'Cause I know something the prince never knew Oh-oh-oh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella I don't want to miss even one song 'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight And she'll be gone

Her smiles eventually crack, her eyes dull, the world is so cruel. She collapses into my arms, another lostbelt. More blood on her hands.

I raise my staff to erect some sort of barrier, to not disturb her respite.

I want to take you away from here.

I gently run my hand through her hair, I suddenly heard someone entering. "You dare intrude my--" oh.. it is THAT boy. That--

He held his weapon tightly, eyes glowing with determination. "I am here for her, Pharaoh. Do what you must but you can't control what I want."

Insolent! Foppish, foolish, arrogant, wretched--

"Papa please..." she tugs my cape.

Why...?

She will be gone

If I left you go to him, then...

"Papa!" an echo of her younger voice rings in my head, I tried not to think.

I...

My little princess, where did you go..?

But she came home today with a ring on her hand Just glowing and telling us all they had planned She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away But I need to practice my dancin' Oh, please, daddy, please"

Golden one stares at me, a brow raise as he slides in a glass of wine for me. "Sun King, years already passed." he began.

I grumbled.

He scoffs "That boy, as much I regret saying such thing about mongrels, has proven himself. Did he not risk his life for her?"

"And so did the rest of us! And he is a servant! Can he truly give her the life she deserves!?"

Can I?

Pity flash across his eyes, oh perhaps my noble phantasm can erase his--

"Sun King, not everything stays the same nor shall anyone can escape the passage of time." he then gestures to where my princess is.

I froze, the white dress on her, the veil. She looks just as radiant, his little princess.

Soon a Queen to her King.

"Papa!" Gudako waves at me, a familiar twinkle in her eyes. Ah, even after all these years?

"She is still your princess, Sun King." a hand on my shoulder. "Ever the foolish inside even as she grows. Now go, your sulking is distasteful and frankly sickening."

I walk towards her, this time, it is my hand that is accepting hers. She grins up at me.

The wedding will be held six months from now...

When did the time go? Such a hassle for such a radiant being such as I, the King of Kings and the incarnation of the Sun god Ra, the shining God King Ozymandias. Time is kind yet cruel, it gives and takes.

So for now... as I dance and sway with her.

For now she is still my princess until the day I will lead her to the altar. For now I am her dance partner until that day.

"Thank you for dancing with me, papa." Gudako said to me in a lowly voice. "I love you papa."

A...ah... This child makes his heart clench.

"I love you too, my princess..."

I held her hand a bit tightly, squeezing it a bit but not too hard, just as before but this time a tear escape from my eye.

For now, she is in my arms, dancing as her laughter echoes.

So I will dance with Cinderella While she is here in my arms 'Cause I know something the prince never knew Oh-oh-oh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella I don't want to miss even one song 'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight And she'll be gone

Bond 10 Ozy acquired

Anyways thanks Ozy for being my NP charger for 3 turning and for being one of the coolest Riders owned for the first arc

this man has bewitched my soul help me👍

[eorzeashan]

I feel like I witnessed something I shouldn't have when doing the Seventh Singularity memorial quest. I've only recently gotten Ozy off a free SSR and his rank up only came about now, so I was struggling to redo the Solomon battle with him as my main attacker. I couldn't figure out what I was even doing wrong, save for not meeting a DPS check, and there was no reason that Ozy couldn't meet it-- yet he was consistently failing. About 6+ tries and I felt like I was hitting a block I couldn't understand.

And then I noticed that he had a rank up quest for his NP, and a redo of the fight with his upgraded ability had him deleting Solomon in seven turns with full health. Those pyramids that previously did 64-123k damage squished Solomon in like, 2 bursts of his NP. I was flabbergasted.

In other words, I experienced an existential crisis because I thought my strategy was wrong but Ozy was just holding back the entire time and wanted to watch me suffer first.

I feel like he basically said "Fufufu, the King does not unleash his radiance until Master has grasped the futility of his situation!" and then expected me to be proud of him for only showing his true strength at the very end.

Emperor's special fist, hm?

Just an Ozymandias painting baised on an old picture I saw some time a long time ago. Can't find the reference photo though.

[jhessail]

I don't know if it's because I remind him of Moses or I like that they specifically point out he will love his wife forever but this pretty man was my first max NP man +4 more times for no understandable reason.
