「Chaldea Treasure Hunting!」Tiamat Edition (Translation)
Tiamat: Alright, let's go! I haven't forgotten anything!
...........................
Tiamat: Hey~! Here, over here! So you've finally arrived. Mother rayshifted a little earlier and waited for you here. 
Guda: Sorry for making you wait!
Tiamat: Fufufu! A child who apologizes honestly is a good child! Good kid, good kid. 
Now then, let's get going. Since we have this wonderful weather, it'll be a shame if we don't enjoy it to the fullest. 
Guda: Speaking of, that's quite the wonderful ribbons you have.
Tiamat: Fufu! Isn't it? I prepared these cute ribbons and this cute overalls for today's picnic. 
Guda: Huh? Did you just say "picnic"?
Tiamat: That's right, a picnic, spending time leisurely in a vast meadow under the blue sky. That's the reason why Mother chose this place. Which would you prefer, a brisk, refreshing  place where you can have fun playing or somewhere that is calm and relaxing?
Guda: A brisk, refreshing place where I can have fun playing!
Tiamat: We're here, Master. Playing in the river is one of the best experiences of summer. Mother prefers the sea though, but we don't have many choices. Even if you fall down, Mother is right here to save you immediately, so don't worry. 
Master? What's wrong?
Guda: But we need to look for the Holy Grail...
Tiamat: Oh, my child is so earnest! Mother is happy, but this makes me sad. But, I knew you would think that way, so I packed not only lunch boxes but also the Holy Grail inside this basket... Huh? Huh?! I, of all people, lost something precious to my child! What a blunder! With this, I am a failure as a mother... 
Guda: L-let's go look for it! That's what we came here for anyway!
Tiamat: Aaah! I thought we could save searching for the Holy Grail at a later date, so I secretly hid it and prepared a picnic, because I wanted to give my child a fun picnic and adventure! 
Huh? Who is it, calling at this time?
King Hassan: Do you hear me? Do you hear my voice, O' Mother of Genesis?
Tiamat: Huh?! T-the Old Man?! A-are... Are you here to condemn Mother for taking the precious Holy Grail?
King Hassan: Not even close, I'm just here to give thanks.
Tiamat: T-that won't do! This Mother will not leave her child behind! 
King Hassan: It will do you best to listen to what I have to say. I am not drawing my sword. First, I am giving thanks for the lunch box, filled with carefully prepared dishes. It truly was a wonderful lunch box.
Tiamat: Eh? Huh? W-well, t-there's no need for thanks... I just made a lot of food for this picnic, so I just wanted to share... S-so, what is it that you wanted to tell me?
King Hassan: In the basket that you gave me, a Holy Grail is wrapped up along with the lunch boxes. 
Tiamat: Ah!
King Hassan: As expected, huh? You've mixed up the baskets. Well then, I shall return this Holy Grail to the rightful place it belongs. You should enjoy this rare time to take a break to the fullest. However, you should also fix that careless side of yours. 
Guda: It's great the Holy Grail was found, huh? 
Tiamat: But, finding the Holy Grail means that the picnic with only the two of us will now end... 
Guda: Why don't we eat, then play for a while before going back?
Tiamat: Huh? T-that's right, we should do that! Mother is so happy that she has raised a kind child! Let's enjoy this day together! Hooray for picnics! 
The culture of human children is a good thing, isn't it?

Ok- ok- F/GO x AC. Imagine Desmond Master of Chaldea and the other assassins are also servants. (All of them being assassin class ofc) it woulc be funny to see how some of the already existing servants would react to the other assassins. Jacob having mixed feelings on Jack the ripper and Altair and Jacques De Molay, Edward and the other pirate servants, etc. And Desmond thrown into being the Savior of humanity again, man deja vu.
Okay, so first things first… Altaïr would have never met Jacques de Molay because Jacques de Molay would be quite young when Altaïr died. (Edward, though, would have some very awkward questions for Anne and Mary and it would probably be easy for Jacob to ignore Jack the Ripper because of how different they are from the Jack he knew)
Second of all, my dear nonny, I barely played FGO but I did play the OG VN so…
The fact that you picked Desmond as a master and the other Assassins as servants only reminded me that part of the plot of the og visual novel is that servants take mana from their master by having sex XD
(technically, any kind of fluid would do but the VN used sex hahahaha)
Anyway, I think there’s something ‘fishy’ we can do about Desmond and his ‘exclusive’ servants because of one mystery:
Tumblr media
is “The Old Man of the Mountain” (First Hassan) even human to begin with?
We could play with his connection to Desmond in some way, marking Desmond as a Master who cannot summon any new servants. He only has the new Assassin class servants who seemed… well… there’s definitely some question to the legitimacy of their creation.
Hell, one of them could even talk about how Desmond’s direct connection to the First Hassan is too ‘direct’ to be normal.
If the First Hassan is something more than human then Desmond could be a being created by him, hereby making him more or less the First Hassan’s son.
His servants would be the ‘protection’ his father gave him.
Desmond calls it all bullshit because (1) he has never met the First Hassan and (2) he highly doubts what may or may not be Hassan-i Sabbah is related to him.
But, of course, some servants would find this fascinating and want to learn more about Desmond and his servants.
And who more would be interested than Leonardo Da Vinci.
Tumblr media
Who willingly took the image of Mona Lisa after being summoned XD
Enter Ezio Auditore’s “I am now questioning my sexuality in the middle of what amounts to an Afterlife Battle Encore” XD

Fated Rantings: Airgetlám
Tumblr media
It's been a while, no? Welcome to my 11th (or was it 12th?) march into the Fate series. Albeit it delayed by covid, I finally saw the second of the two Camelot movies.
I made a small post after watching the first movie but I didn't make my usual long post for it since it was one part of two and because I had little to say.
In fact, some of what I said in that post apply to both films. Such as how the pacing feels a bit rushed, some characters change quickly, and some events are moved around or removed.
However, I can't call these faults with the movies since they're adaptions of the FGO mobile game and do not let the "mobile game" moniker fool you, FGO has novel volumes of text.
Some of it's arcs are even written by the original novel writer Nasu. He may be even more involved than that but my development knowledge on FGO isn't as broad as other series.
All that you need to know is that there was no way to compress that full Singularity into a movie just as there's no way to compress FGO into a full anime.
The one FGO anime that does exist just covers one singularity in of itself. (Babylonia Front) That is how each entry is.
Tumblr media
So while I won't fault the movies for such things I do still miss certain aspects the mobile text had. Such as the lengths to convince Ozymandias, the hilarious fact that Hassan had beheaded him before the story started, Sherlock Holmes making an appearance, etc.
Instead I'd rather focus on how the movies made story moments full highlights. Such as Arash's sacrifice, it was damn near beautiful. Then you have any scene with Da Vinci in them. There's a fun troll energy to everything she does and I liked seeing it animated.
The glow up of Nitocris also caught me off guard. Her sprite and art in FGO is "eh" but she's downright adorable in these movies...and more powerful than the game gave me an impression of.
I am also glad I got to see at least some of the uneasy tension between Lancelot and Mash. Mash, being possessed by Galahad, Lancelot's son, does not give him any slack. You only see bits of it in the movie but each scene reminded me of the sheer disapproval Galahad has for Lancelot in the game.
For as badass as Lancelot is in legend, for all his power as a spirit, he can't deal with his son and it's amazing.
Tumblr media
I also haven't forgotten other characters such as the Hassan's, the mountain people or even our leads Mash and Fujimaru but I will admit I have little to say about them.
The mountain people are shown little for the novel to movie compression reasons I already covered and the Hassan of the Arm and Serenity are good characters but I do not know what add about them.
I do like their characters thanks to the mobile games context but what you see is also what you get. They are great assassin's and the movie gives them great moments.
It would've been hard for them to compete with the original "Old man of the Mountain" anyway. Hassan, the real one, is legitimately intimidating and I looked forward to every scene he was in.
The way he taunts Gawain with the truth just moments after rendering his powerful holy sword useless. The way he just appears or vanishes, Hassan truly is death personified and you see even more of that ambiance in the game. Even a primordial god (tiamat) comes to fear him.
Tumblr media
In turn, Mashu and Fujimaru are more or less "just there". Mash gets more interaction than Fujimaru but she does not take spotlight. The most significant of her time is in relation to Sir Galahad who had possessed her when FGO started.
Even then Galahad does not physically appear. He'll talk through Mash toward Lancelot but most of the relation is the other Knights realizing (usually in shock) that he is there thanks to Mash's shield.
You wonder why since Galahad doesn't appear in many movies/shows based on Arthurian legend but the short of it is Galahad's talent.
The Fate Galahad reflects his IRL myth, he was the perfect knight. He was nearly uncontested in swordplay, loyalty, and overall skill. He was the only knight to successfully get the Holy Grail, the real one.
In other words, even if just in spirit, Galahad's presence is to be feared. Him opposing knights is also a clear reminder to them that they're in the wrong because they know Galahad's moral compass is flawless.
Tumblr media
Fujimaru felt the most like he was "just there" to me but I expected it in some form since he's just one of the two gender options for the FGO protagonist. A person you're supposed to name and see the PoV of in the game.
I see lots complain about how perfect or "overly good" he can be animated and while I can understand someone finding that annoying I also do not know what they expected. Fujimaru is a stand-in, they took the safe route with him for these films.
Granted, I know some of those complaints are levied at the Babylonia anime which is a bit more fair since it was a full anime production. It's also hard to not feel the flatness of him when you see his opposite, the female option in FGO dubbed "Gudako", being downright chaotic and funny in several Fate productions.
Her appearance in Carnival Phantasm is comedy skit gold and whoever wears her mascot attire in Japan is known for being a chaotic lil shit. I kid you not, look up videos.
And yes, I know that "Fujimaru" refers to both as well as that the male version is often called "Gudao". My point is that our mobile game PoV insert isn't too fleshed out a character nor do they have odd quirks to identify with.
I think this is fine because the two Camelot films aren't about Mash or Fujimaru. No, the true star of these films is Bedivere.
Tumblr media
Knights of the Lion, Knight of the Round
I don't even know what to say about this man to get myself started. He, like most of the round table, is a tragic soul. More so in the Singularity than he is in other versions of history.
The movie didn't mention it but the sole reason this singularity existed, the catalyst for history altering, was Bedivere. Lion King Arthur is a result of Bedivere's actions, not the Mage King or the grail.
This movie also reminds me of the thing that pulled me into Fate to begin with, it's odd but loyal use of Arthurian legend. You may see female Arthur and laugh but do understand that King Arthur and his knights are more faithfully portrayed in Fate than they are most modern western media.
Bedivere is no exception. Everything from his personality to his fake arm are a nod to it. I'm not sure how true it is in Fate's history but the earliest versions of our history portray Bedivere as missing a hand (or arm) and while handsome he was not among Athur's most well known or even skilled knights.
He, however, was the most loyal. Galahad excelled in all areas but most knights matched (if not surpassed him) in one and for Bedivere that was loyalty.
That loyalty is shown in every version of Arthur's myth with his death. Bedivere was the one at his side when he died and he was the one that thrice approached the lake to return Excalibur.
It is also here where this version of Bedivere failed, in the final moment he was not loyal.
Tumblr media
He could not accept Arthur's death and did not return the sword as instructed. That single act altered history and doomed it because Arthur was not by her tree when Bedivere returned.
He knew that Excalibur made her ageless & immortal but he didn't know that her holy spear Rhongomyniad did the same thing. By denying her Arthur's destined death she also held onto the spear and became a wandering spirit.
You see, the thing about gods in Fate is that many were originally something else before human faith and worship elevated them into a god. What Bedivere had no way of knowing is that centuries of wandering with a holy spear would eventually turn Arthur into a god or "divine spirit".
And this is more tragic than you can fathom because gods in Fate do not comprehend humanity. They are affected by it but they do not think on the same level and what they deem rational a person will not.
The great sin Bedivere committed here was rob King Arthur of her human heart. Something that her subjects already doubted that she had.
A good deal of Bedivere's guilt is see in the two movies as he realizes what exactly he has done.
Tumblr media
He already felt guilt before the movies started and he was already warned by Merlin that the end of his journey would be rough but he didn't realize the extent of those words.
He, now ageless due to Excalibur, spent 1500yrs looking for Arthur hoping to apologize. A truly grueling punishment within the Fate series because souls, like bodies, degrade.
Your "essence" will go back to "the root" when you die but a soul can degrade overtime if left clinging to the mortal plane. For many, this results in their mind breaking and going mad.
Even the gods only thrive as long as the civilization that believes in them does. Nothing is eternal and that is the lesson Bedivere had to learn in the movies.
That's why I say that he is the star of this story. Over two films he has to learn that everything ends and that endings have meaning. Something doesn't just vanish when it's over.
He could not accept that Camelot was over or that Arthur was meant to be over.
Tumblr media
Idolism
For many reading this you probably ponder "why?" but the movie also answers there albeit it in spurts. The best window into his loyalty and guilt is seen in how he reacts to the other knights.
Many of them look down on Bedivere even if they also praise his loyalty to the king to the point that him standing against the Lion King shocks them.
Even then, they see Bedivere as beneath them. Mordred especially chides Bedivere harshly for weakness. But what's telling is his words and replies to them, especially Mordred.
Bedivere looks down upon himself. Even after 1500yrs he does not understand why Arthur made him a knight when he's essentially just a normal person.
He was not blessed by faeries, he did not have a holy sword or other magical weapons...in Fate. Irl he supposedly had a magic spear but Fate seems to have forgone that.
In Bedivere's mind he's outclassed by the Knights of the Round in every possible aspect. Even his loyalty, the thing that the other knights were say he's best known for, is lacking in his eyes.
That does not mean Bedivere is a depressed or self loathing individual either...well originally. He's very harsh on himself in the movies for what he's caused but there's no indication he was that way originally.
Tumblr media
He was truly at a loss as to why Arthur made him a knight and fully believed himself inadequate for the role but worked his hardest anyway.
This eventually put him in the pitfall that nearly everyone fell into, they idolized Arthur. All of the knights in the movie have flaws in their logic due to their idolized views and it's reflected in their words and oath to the Lion King.
Mordred & Agravain are possibly the biggest victims of this mindset but they're a topic for another day. What is unique here is that Bedivere wanted to see Arthur's true smile or see her drop the ideal king act.
This was not for any grand or selfish reasons Bedivere just wished for his king to be happy in a sense. Ironically, he too only ever saw the perfect king and could not let them go.
Even at the end of the movie I wonder if he ever truly understood Arthur. Because when I saw the film, the flashbacks, I didn't just see the tragedy of Bedivere's quilt and choice but I saw what Arthur saw.
Tumblr media
Personally, I think that Artoria valued the normalcy of Bedivere. He truly was not blessed by faeries, heaven, or by magical blades. He was a guy that tried his best and he saw things the way a normal person would.
I can't say to what extent of course but I do think she saw true value in what he saw as shortcomings with himself.
Either way, these movies are truly beautiful and what makes them so isn't just the animation or OST but the tragedy that is Bedivere.
Tumblr media
Other Knights and Conclusions
As said earlier, Mordred is a topic for another day and I've already talked about Lancelot in my Fate Zero post. In fact, the Lancelot here seems either loyal in spite of what happened to Guinevere or because of it.
Had the other knights not referenced his betrayal I'd have assumed he was summoned lacking those memories.
And I haven't read the 'Garden of Avalon' novel to truly know about the whole round table. Let alone Tristan who is infamous for the line about “The king does not understand the hearts of men.” which is misinterpreted.
Not in the sense that it's mistranslated but in the sense that how people took his words both in-story and out were not his intented feelings.
And I know next to nothing about Gawain in Fate other than he, like many, was a child of Morgan. Much of the chaos in Camelot was either direct or indirect thanks to Morgan's relationship to her children.
Tumblr media
Agravain is a fascinating case study due to his nature. He famously hates women despite his king being a woman and it's thanks to his relation to his mother Morgan.
A trait he shares with Mordred oddly enough. Both have a complex relationship to Arthur based solely on how their mother warped them.
You can also see Agravain's dynamic with Lancelot in the movies. There's a disdain there and Lancelot is quick to suspect him despite being a betrayer. This is presumably due to Agravain exposing Lancelot's affair in life.
It is also due to people misreading Agravain's intent. He often appeals to Arthur's kingly or inhuman side and many assumed he was trying to run a shadow kingdom but Agravain was just trying to help his ideal king the best way he knew how.
He, to the disbelief of many, is actually very loyal to the king and country. His actions and feelings are just complex due to his hatred of Morgan and women compounded with his ideal king being a woman herself.
One day if I manage to read the novel I may come back to give Agravain a proper post since he fascinates me.
Tumblr media
For now though I think I'll stop and focus on the Mordred post while it's fresh in my mind.
I can't really think of anything else in-depth to add. These movies are amazing, especially if you view it as Bedivere's story more so than an adaption of Fujimaru's.
The animation is godly and the scene of Bedivere returning Arthur's sword and her heart/memories with it is beautiful. The music is beautiful.
The OST for that scene is 'walk by' btw. Go give it a listen, bye now~
