Shirou discovers something new about herself.

[wakraya]

Fuck it, I'm inflicting this one upon everyone. The Brainrot cannot remain contained to the Stay Night Streams-

[miraclemaya]

heavily disagree with that other anon's rin ask. rin feels so guilty over her cruel treatment of sakura over the years that she'll go along with the most cringe shit imaginable just to make her happy. rin would be like "s-sure sakura. i don't mind doing this" and put on the cat ears and meow for her while dying of embarrassment on the inside. she would do it.

she would put on the cat ears

at least with the Servants of Stay Night, how do you think each Servant individually though of Archer (EMIYA) I've seen many fanfictions in where whether he and the other Stay Night Servants are interacting with each other, the other Stay Night characters usually hate him, or just dislike him. I get that he can be a jerk, but that was only specifically towards Shirou, so do the other Servants think negatviely of him as well, except Gil cus it's obvious why he'd hate him

Nah, Nameless/Emiya is basically the edgy new guy who everyone either humors him or loves giving him shit for being a tryhard.

While I write works on AO3, I'll also do request for one shots, headcanons and drabbles on Tumblr and will also cross-post to AO3.

Rules are that if you are racist, homophobic, transphobic, nazis, and other disgusting crap, DO NOT INTERACT WITH MY BLOG.

Also, I'm someone who doesn't care about politics, so don't talk to me about that.

I'll write in Tumblr most of the time but will talk about my fics and general stuff with my followers on this account.

Since I'm also a minor, I won't be writing nor talking NSFW as I don't feel comfortable to write or talk about it. With romantic ships, most I'll have them do is stuff that is non sexual.

Weekly Roundups: Prompt Reminders

FSN/FHA

kotomine and caren are finally in chaldea together, and they manage to bond as parent and child over their shared enjoyment of watching people suffer

FGO

Mash travel to Japan after everything end and Fujimaru Ritsuka's gone. She meet heartbroken Fujimaru couple who give out missing person poster to bystander and ask them for info of their missing kid

Holy Grail War gets Tower of Babel’d. Due to a defect of the grail (or perhaps a ploy from Caster or a Master?) every servant is now speaking their original language, or for convinience’s sake, the modern-ish version of the language from their place of origin.

smut, Raikou pegs Lancelot. You can make it hard or gentle, plot or no plot, add on whatever flavor you want.

Chaldean staff deserve more content, they also survivor and work hard

Mash has an insane amount of rizz and accidentally makes her own harem

unsanitary, Castoria piss kink. She needs to mark her territory on anyone she fucks, that includes biting, scratching... and peeing on them. Preferably I'd like some level of "oh fuck why tf am I wanting this" but feel free to just go wild with the og prompt. I'm ok with artfills too btw if you guys want to give me a blushing stuttering Castoria struggling to articulate "hey not to be weird for a sec but can I pee on you" that's fine by me too!

for the queer headcanon anon: i want to see how kama and/or kiara (or any other character that primarily deals with love as their character arc) reacts to an aromantic master! i'm not entirely too familiar with their characters so i think it would be interesting myself :)

MULTI

In an alternate world, rather than summon Astolfo, Celenike summons servant Rider Goredolf Musik, driver of the Shadow and Storm Borders, he who's driving skills escaped the apocalypse twice. While everyone else is reeling from the implications that not only was a modern mage able to enter the Throne, but that said mage also was of the Musik line, Goredolf is panicking because if he, a member of Chaldea, was summoned, things are about to get very bad very fast.

Since soujuurou is 17 in 1989, and Kuzuki is 25 in 2004, that would make the former the big brother in the assassin cult! So something with soujuurou acting like a big brother to kuzuki!

[greatestheroofgreece]

Herc Headcanons 1

I'm gonna go ahead and post some headcanons whenever the urge strikes me, mostly to help me flesh out my take on a sane Herc.

Since his memories of Illya from FSN seem to be strong enough that Bersercles remembers them in FGO, I don't see why Sabercles wouldn't remember them as well. So he treats Illya as a surrogate daughter.

Speaking of kids, one bit of canon that needs addressing is that Herc had a lot of children; he had over 50 tykes to his name even before he started his Labors, and that number only increased over the years. This is why so many people are able to claim to be his descendants; he had so many kids that there's a good chance they legitimately are. On the headcanon side of things, given how he acts with kids even as a Berserker, this blog is taking the stance that Herc tried his damndest to be there for every single one of them, but that did inevitably mean that (especially during his adventuring years) he wasn't able to spend as much time with any one of them as he would've liked.

Herc is remarkably humble for a man who's accomplished as much as he has. He knows he's damn strong, of course, but he never assumes his opponents are helpless before him unless it's definitively proven. Even for those that literally cannot hurt him, he'll still show respect for the prowess and skill that they display. As a side effect, this means that whenever he buckles down and truly commits to a fight, he does his utmost to murder the shit out of his opponent post-haste; he usually respects them too much to not take them seriously. As for people who aren't fighters at all, well, they're just flat out capable of doing things he can't, and thus are worthy of great praise indeed!

So this is less a headcanon and more just a thing I think is kinda wild. In Fate, Achilles was one of the people trained by Chiron, and by all accounts he actually finished his training too. Here's the thing: Heracles accidently killed Chiron in his Fourth Labor. Which means Achilles was almost certainly a teenager at the time. Given that Achilles' whole deal was either die young in glory or die old in obscurity, that means there wasn't that many years left after Chiron's death until the Battle of Troy began. Heracles could well have been alive when Hellen was taken by Paris; considering he still had six years of Labors left after killing his centaur buddy and that he still had a whole hell of a lot of adventuring left to do even after the Gigantomachia, he might have actually outlived Achilles in Fate. I don't know yet where I actually stand on this (I default to him being dead before the Troy Troubles are done), but I still think that's a pretty crazy thought.

[typellblog]

i just got into the argument of all time on twitter about what lingerie illya would wear (little girl underwear illustrations under the cut you have been warned)

this HA bonus illustration is not drawn by takeuchi and therefore not canon sorry i refuse to believe she would wear such a hideously orange shade of red

the black and white ones from CM2 on the other hand have much more basis in canon but are still ultimately an unused design

the thing is that if you also look at what they say about illya's development in CM2, she was originally supposed to have black stockings, those were removed. she was initially supposed to have more wifely attributes as one of the heroines, those were removed. she was initially supposed to have a sex scene where she wore that lingerie, it was removed

so its not really a situation where she had this in her wardrobe all throughout FSN and never put it on, its questionable whether its even supposed to exist in the actual version of the work that got released

it's a similar situation to the doll bad end where she's implied to rape shirou. in the tiger dojo they say it's a removed scene, so does that mean illya did it anyway but offscreen, or it just never happened at all?

i think at the very least you can interpret it as giving some insight on her as a character - she would be somewhat inclined to rape shirou in that scenario regardless of whether it actually happened or not, and this does seem like the kind of outfit she might put on if she was trying to seem sexy

but like again you can see a move away from illya-related sexual content on nasu and takeuchi's part so its kind of hard to say

she would def wear something like that in my headcanon at least

[hasarjunadoneanythingwrong]

I'm just gonna headcanon that the Indian servants saw what happened to Sakura in FSN and collectively decided to steal/adopt her.

Kali, Parvati, Durga, and Kama did not get the memo and assumed "taking her" ment taking over her body. That's the only explanation.

You know what

Let’s just go with that! that’s the explanation now they’re all her mom/dad actually since her real ones majorly dropped the ball

[panipancakes]

Someone liked my last post enough to commission me to draw Shirou Femiya again.

[number1mongrel]

Gimme a random headcanon about Gilgamesh, can be anything

He LOVES collecting random shit he finds interesting. Obviously he has his huge stockpile of weapons and treasures, and he won't lay his hands upon something he finds filthy or displeasing, but any time he's summoned he can't help but throw diamond in the rough knickknacks he comes across into the gate of babylon so he can admire them later. by the time fsn rolls around he's got a bunch of antique plates, figures, books, etc

[miraclemaya]

dsaffsda im sorry for spamming all those rin/luvia asks. none of my friends are into fsn so i dont have many people to talk about my delusional headcanons with

no no, it's okay anon i think they are funny and it's good to be able to just get those thoughts out there.

[illusoryair]

If you really think about it, the headcanon that Gudao/Gudako (how I will call M/F Ritsuka Fujimaru for simplicity's sake) are Rin and Shirou's kids doesn't really work timeline wise.

Given the start of FGO happens in 2015 (2017 for English), they would have to be born in early 2000 at the latest, though I would place their birth date at 2000 since the youngest they look to me is 15.

Now, Rin and Shirou were both in high school in 2004 (FSN). Assuming no differences in when people were born in FSN and FGO, this would mean they would still be (young!) teenagers when they had Gudao/Gudako. Which, while not impossible, is a huge stretch.

Well, I'm not telling people they must not hold this headcanon. Some fanfic alter the age of Gudao/Gudako to be younger. (Also, the actual truth is their designs are just genderbent Rin and Shirou.) However, let me bring something up that would fit better in canon: Gudao being Rin's younger brother and Gudako being Shirou's younger sister.

Think about it. In FGO timeline, the grail war was the first grail war ever, so the craziness of FZ never happened. Tokiomi would still be alive, as would be Shirou's parents. If they had children, there would be a 10+ age gap between Rin/Shirou and them, but that isn't an uncommon thing to happen in real world families.

Gudao/Gudako had rather ordinary lives uninvolved with magecraft before being brought to Chaldea. For Gudako, this works easily, since Shirou's original family was pretty normal, and being Shirou's sister, she probably has a similar magecraft potential to him.

For Gudao, he was not born the first child so would be kept ignorant of anything related to magecraft. Perhaps, with the upcoming grail war, Tokiomi decided to adopt him out so he wouldn't fall into any danger (look, while Tokiomi isn't a good parent, he does want the best for his children, even if it's by mage standards). Perhaps the family adopting him happened to be Shirou's family, who wanted to give an unwanted child a chance at a happy life. Perhaps Shirou's original surname was Fujimaru.

And there, that's how you could get the Fujimaru siblings.

[strangefellows]

so about those mixed feelings on kid gil....

AIGHT SO

It really does boil down to the fact that he's not "Gilgamesh as a child" but "a child that is Gilgamesh", so to speak -- he's just the concept of 'the King of Heroes, but ten years old'. They pretty heavily imply that in FGO, and I'm fairly sure it's referenced in Hollow Ataraxia too.

It's probably because in most cases, Kid Gil is a result of Gilgamesh using the potion of rejuvenation -- which just resets your time clock and makes you younger, so it's not like "returns you to your childhood" but more "you as you are now have become a child again".

But while I love Kid Gil, and his sweet decent kid behavior and absolute seething hatred for his adult self is funny -- and speaks to a lot of issues there with self-loathing in general, Gil, can we talk about that -- I just...am also a little disappointed in the wasted potential.

I mean, him being SO DIFFERENT from Archer Gil is a huge starting point, but then the FGO profile says it might be because it was Gil when he was a wise king who forms the starting point for his identity, which both tracks because it's the likeliest time when he'd decide to take the potion and because he DOES act a bit more like CasGil. But then that just cycles back around to the beginning of "this isn't Gil as a child, this is just old man Gil who chugged the potion and became ten years old again" and it explains his hatred for his Archer self as, well, yeah, duh, that's the worst time of your life, you'd hate yourself too if you remembered being An Absolute Fucking Tool.

I wish we could see Actual Kid Gil, but then Gilgamesh shoots that handily in the foot by saying he has literally no memory of his actual childhood. Which is both weird as hell and ridiculous, Gil, how the fuck? It feels at once like an excuse to keep the question of what Kid Gil is a little vaguer, but there's just...it's silly.

Especially in the early stuff when Gil just knocks back the potion when he's bored to fuck around as a kid for a while. See: a reference that that's what he did for the 10 years in between Zero and FSN, and what he does in HA, and what he very nearly does in FSF before Enkidu showing up stops him cold. Like...that really undermines the idea that this is actual child Gil because he's just like lol bored now time to be 10. It just has so much more evidence to the contrary; especially in - don't shoot me - Prisma*Illya, where it's so clear he's just our Gil but 10 in his behavior and how he basically tactical nukes someone for using Enkidu without his permission. Actual Child Gil wouldn't have known Enkidu.

SO TLDR I LIKE HIM HE'S FUNNY BUT ALSO I AM JUST QUIETLY DISAPPOINTED THAT HE'S NOT GENUINELY GIL AS A KID.

I have my own headcanons for what Gil was like as a kid, though, and those tie to my big weird Gil hcs, but I do think actual kid Gil was similar to the way he's described, echoes of what Kid Gil shows - kind, sweet, moral, just, gentle, etc - but...it's not the same, yknow? Kid Gil has enough of his older self's traits still that it's not a complete overlap.

[estoult]

Illya for the ask game

I’ll do this for both FSN Illya and Prisma Illya since they’re distinctly different characters to me

FSN Illya

First impression: Oh she’s cute! I like her string familiars:)

Impression now: I have been driven to madness thinking about the intricacies of this character. I love her she’s my favorite

Favorite moment: The sleepover scene in Hollow Ataraxia

Idea for a story: Illya and Saber trying to get into a bar and having solidarity with each other over their paused growths.

Unpopular opinion: It really annoys me when people infantilize Illya when that’s constantly shown to be a misconception within the story.

Favorite relationship: Illya and Shirou’s sibling relationship.

Favorite headcanon: Illya has something dissociative going on.

Prisma Illya

First impression: Wow! This Prisma Illya stuff looks awful, I should avoid it.

Impression now: I LOVE HER SO MUCH

Favorite moment: I really love what’s going on right now in 3rei. I won’t say what it is for spoilers reasons, but it’s really fantastic.

Idea for a story: I’d like to eventually write a slice of life piece with Illya and Miyu going on a date.

Unpopular opinion: I like her and I think the story she’s in is good.

Favorite relationship: Illya and Miyu

Favorite headcanon: Illya can do anything she wants as long as she’s seen it on TV. If she saw Madoka she’d be able to make guns with her magic

(For the character ask game!)
