Okay okay okay okay but. The fact that out of the five star Assassins, the two males are kinda foils to one another?

King Hassan is the Assassin. The Grand Servant. The First of the Hasashin from where the word “assassin” comes from. He chose his path, he killed as a way of life and killed when the bell tolled. Li Shuwen is a ridiculous level of “Some Guy” in terms of legend and history. He’s a martial artist, yes, but there are hundreds of others out there. He killed every person he fought— not because he went in with the intent to kill but because that’s just how he was, he didn’t hold back.

Everything Hassan does is because of his belief in a higher cause, is because of his Faith. Li Shuwen ultimately is a man whose goal benefits no one but himself and his own curiosity.

Hassan is old, very old. Li Shuwen is still rather modern Servant having died in 1934— making him  the fourth ‘youngest’ if we dont count the Fate/School Life and the Nasuverse/Future Servants. Tesla, Armstrong, and Voyager being the only ones who beat him out though Voyager is tricky.

Hassan is on the more quiet side, serious and stoic, and seems hard to approach. Li Shuwen is rather talkative and friendly, and meshes well with children as he takes a teacher sort of role.

It’s just so interesting that when you look at the two of them.

Alright, after a talk on Friday with my boss and the other department head I was supposed to start in the other department this coming tuesday

Which was FINE but I was still upset because I just recently started feeling like "home" in my cureent department, and everything went way too quick, plus I was kinda doubting myself whether it was maybe actually about my performance and not just the overall situation, so then I talked to some coworkers to explain what was going on and that it was my last day with them and I started crying

Coworkers told me it was DEFINITELY NOT about my performance and that everyone had been giving positive feedback about me, and that I was definitely part of the team and that I was MORE THAN WELCOME to join back when I got to work in full-time

And THEN one coworker had an idea how he could tie me into his team in a way where things could still work out. He talked to the boss and boss talked to me

So yeah. Now I'll stay in my current department for a while, and they'll see if things work out this way. Also my boss explained to me that he had been worried because I wanted to do my bachelor's thesis on something that has nothing to do with my workplace. And since I've been struggling with the topic I had chosen so far anyways I'll probably do something with them instead

Hhhnnnggggghghhhh boss told me they're not renewing my contract at work

i posted this on twitter but here's a fanservant design for utnapishtim/ziusudra/atrahasis! copious design notes under the cut

disclaimer its been a hot second since i played babylonia so i dont exactly remember what the deal with him in babylonia was (did he turn out to actually be grandpa hassan. did they meet ziusudra [real] at any point. i dont know) but since im so into mesopotamia i thought i might as well make another design anyway

"why does he look like nemo" he looks like nemo because noah looks like nemo in arcade, and the same story motif (from lb6) that leads nemo to be noah's host [?] body [?] also applies to utnapishtim since utnapishtim and noah most likely are cognates stemming from the same "ur-myth" of the flood

because there are a couple of inverted artifacts from noah's story compared to utnapishtim's (the dove vs. the raven being the bird of significance), i've inverted some of utnapishtim's colors compared to noah. utnapishtim has silver hair compared to noah's warm-toned hair, and the color of their top and bottom is switched

speaking of the raven i didn't draw it but it's utnapishtim's cute mascot thing

a couple of the design motifs are based on either oceanic items or oceanic puns (again because of the flood thing). the fishtail braid is a pun. the gray shoulder sashes are meant to look like fishing nets (this idea was half borrowed from samrem) and are also references to egyptian beaded dress, since there was so much trade between mesopotamia and egypt during some ancient periods

the structure of the waist sashes and pants are half-noah, half-based on that one gilgamesh skin from CCC. the pattern on the teal sash is based on floor tiles from nimrud/assyrian palaces; the color scheme of the other one is meant to look like seafoam

the gold decorations on his chest, in his hair, and on his arms are referenced from a suit of jewelry i saw in a near east artifact exhibit. the shoes are freestyle though (and are sort of like caster gilgamesh's?)

in the epic, gilgamesh finds utnapishtim after going through a garden at the edge of the ocean with plants made of [?] carnelian, hematite, lapis lazuli, etc. and meeting siduri. because of this i wanted to have all three of these specific stones represented (the red, blue, and black)

he is most likely a rider because of the significant role his boat plays in the legend, undecided if his NP is "he who has found life" (translation of his name) or "preserver of life" (the name of his boat). the former sounds cooler but the latter is more direct

The seed for this btw was Magdy introducing Rut to the family and while they wait for the Seniors to talk to them, they actually catch a glimpse of Mohammed (8 years old), playing with his momma. And Magdy makes SURE that both this woman and this child will be treated with the utmost kindness and respect, because they're at the heart of this business and also, the most dignified people Magdy has ever known. So put some respect on that name and be nice to that little boy, understood?

Still need to flesh out the relationship between Mohammed and the other two and Magdy is especially tricky, but I like the idea for all his stubornness, he has a lot of respect for him, because he always had respect for his family. His maternal grandfather, his mother and now Mohammed. It isn't the intense fatherly love Paddy has for his weans nor the also very gentle and involved touch Robin has with the youngins, but Magdy IS fond of Mohammed. He's glad to see what he always found most awe-inspiring, for better and for worse, has survived down the family line, so he will keep laying down his life for it and to ensure that the machine keeps running. He's so dutiful, but now that he saw his boss grow up, there's also a soft twinge that makes him a little fatherly about his duty.

I would like to thank Grandpa Hassan and the countless enemies he spawned with for giving me all the bells needed to finally finish leveling Barghest’s skills.

[nero-draco]

Tiamat is scared of King Hassan. Understandable. If Tiamat is the mom, King Hassan is the scary grandpa.

I GOT THE KOYAN. EIGHT OF HER, IN FACT.

I was worried it'd take me all of my Quartz to get that many of her, but by some miracle, I ended up with over 1k Saint Quartz leftover, which I plan to save for Oberon's banner. I'm gonna be a LOT more frugal on his banner, though. No higher than NP2, and hope I at least get a dupe of Baobhan Sith so she can also get to NP2 as well.

Whatever's leftover after Oberon's banner, I'm gonna hold onto for a rainy day... or whenever the heck Melusine gets a rate-up, since I rolled on Merlin's GSSR banner and walked away with Grandpa Hassan.

BRUH I'M SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY MAH DOOD SO HOW'D THE REST OF THE ROLLS GO ON OBERON AND NOW

There’s no greater ship than Two Old Men In Love

[versegm]

First Hassan for the character ask

First impression

WHO is that old man.

Impression now

YEAAAH BONE GRANDPA!!

Favorite moment

WHEN HE FORCES THE CONCEPT OF DEATH ON TIAMAT. LOVE THAT SHIT.

Idea for a story

I don't really have any, he fucks hard enough in canon as he is.

A random opinion

I like him :)

Favorite relationship

Mmmh I don't really have any. King Hassan fucks on his own, but I don't recall seeing him talking to anyone... I'm gonna say King Hassan and Goredolf, I feel like it could be really funny.

Favorite headcanon

Not a headcanon but according to the wiki he stripped all his flesh from his bones and that owns ngl.

well GSSR ended up with NP2 Grandpa Hassan and a Melu jumpscare. But we managed to secure NP5 Xu Fu (and got a arcueid jumpscare) so mission complete ig

Divinity of Luck and Fortune, I beseech thee! Grandpa Hassan is available in the Thanksgiving gacha. I feel like he'd give great head pats, and I need them.

[luflen]

I got back into FGO for like a year to try and pull Grandpa Hassan, got baited a few times by Kijyo Kouyo and Jalter, then got rng screwed by his surprise thankgsgiving banner. I still gotta finish Shimousa at some point point though.

At least the depression was somewhat countered by the incredible being that is Musashi

really glad i dropped out of FGO 👍

[fate-trash]

PLEASE COME HOME WHEN YOUR BANNER DROPS. I LOVE YOU.
