Yes, I Like Cu Chulainn

If it's not clear, I like Cu Chulainn Fate, so you'll see him a lot, and maybe some other dudes. Also, I cosplay

Happy Birthday, Cu Chulainn 🍀💙

The man survived countless battles, curses, and tragic endings, yet somehow the most devastating thing he continues to do is destroy my wallet every year.

I told myself my collection was complete.

My boyfriend kindly helped me expand it (which is very sweet of him).

Cu heard that and apparently took it as a personal challenge.

The collection grows. The savings disappear. Nature heals.

Another year of being emotionally attached to a fictional Irish man who continues to bankrupt me from beyond the gacha system. 💙

Anyway, happy birthday to the original blue financial hazard. 🐕💸

Because of one very special event, I can not attend one of the biggest events here and can not purchase THAT in person

But bless my friend 🥹💙

She is willing to buy that for me (not buy buy, I will be transferring the money to her, anyway ykwim)

Also, I ended up buying Casniki and Alterniki standees from FGO fest 2026. Let's see how weird that two standees when it arrives lmao

Cú Chulainn (Caster) as he appears in 「Fate/Grand Order」11th Anniversary Movie -Cosmos in the Lostbelt-

FGO Fest merch is finally available for sale on this part of the earth and I am very very not tempted to buy any of it.

First because I like Cu chulainn Lancer > Berserker > Caster > Saber > Proto. Yes, exactly in that order. And tbh, the one that actually looks like Cu to me is Caster.

They have Berserker too in keychain/acrylic standee, school ID styled card, and badges, but I don't think he looks like Cu enough, honestly he looks sorta like Buddha from Record of Ragnarok. Which is cool, don't get me wrong, but I am basic. I'd rather he looked more like the classic Cu, I guess.

Tell me I am not the only one who see the similarity

Huh? So that's why I immediately like you

Blurry picture of my favorite duo

[asralovecuchulainn]

I wanna put this here, too

This is the first time I joined cosplay project this big and I am amazed that we managed to gather enough people to fill all Chrysos Heirs slot.

Aglaea is different than the character I usually go for, but this cosplay is quickly becoming one of my favorites simply because of how good I feel when wearing the full getup.

i think cú chulainn would be wretched in heatwaves. first of all he's irish so we shouldn't really need any further reasoning on this one. he's not built for this. secondly he runs so hot that he can sit in the snow shirtless and it will melt around him, so he is probably raising the temperature of any given room considerably, and therefore he would be completely unbearable to have in the house for the duration. i think láeg and emer would kick him out until the temperature dropped. i don't think they'd be able to stand it

For all that the 1800s etiquette guides are--obviously--derangedly sexist from a modern perspective? They're also mindblowing in how casually they will assert things that MODERN DAY CONSERVATIVES would scream and cry and shit their pants about.

"People back then always married young it's natural!!!" Every single 1800s guide I've ever met casually mentions that, of course, you really shouldn't get married before you're at least 20, and waiting until 25 is usually better.

Or, like. Okay here's a long segment:

Just firmly going "it is crazy sexist to blame The Wife for overspending when thirty seconds of asking questions will immediately establish that her husband was outright lying to her about how much money they had. Talk to your wife like a normal person."

Or--okay, here. A section on being honest and not writing love letters in secret, because that's usually a good sign that there's something untoward going on....

....except that he then immediately acknowledges that sometimes, the reason you're hiding this from your parents is that your parents suck. That there are parents who frankly have not earned the right to approve or disapprove of your partner.

(I realize the phrasing there sounds a lot less strong than my summary, but--trust me on this. When you're familiar with the narrative voice of these kinds of books, this passage is downright radical. The mere acknowledgement that if you treat your kids badly, it's your own damn fault when they don't talk to you? I've genuinely never seen that before in this genre. Don't freak out over "properly trained", either. It's just a linguistic shift--at the time, "training" was used the way we would say "raising" a child today. )
