This is where I'll dump my FGO things; fanarts, reblogs, screenshots and adventures from my account.
Feel free to send me an ask if you wanna say something... Maybe chat? Ask a question? Yeah.
I'm no FGO expert though ^^"... tbh, I'm a noob who just picked up the game when she noticed it available in the playstore... but HEY.
Summoning-ventures (Tunguska Sanctuary or just Taigong Wang, I guess)
After the hell that was Muramasa and Caster of Limbo, I had only one other must-have target, even more sought after than those two: Taigong Wang.
...He's cute ok. And I've developed a weak spot for fox-eyed characters over the past few years, so I just must have him!
..........................But GudaGuda came along and I just had to get Ryoma and Oryou. Not only did I like them as characters, but they're an AOE lancer arts farmer!
While they may not have taken ALL of my SQs... I went from 300+ to 100+, and all my tickets so... I was running low on reserves for Taigong Wang.
And then there came that Skadi banner from Christmas.
I've been trying to get her since her release, but she had continued to evade me, and... this time wasn't any different. Even worse, she ended up eating up some of my Taigong Wang funds ORZ.
Then Tunguska came along.
No Taigong.
I farmed all of my remaining interludes and rank up quests.
No Taigong.
I used my resources to level Servants to do EVEN MORE interludes and rank up quests.
STILL NO TAIGONG.
And then, the raids came along... and I decided to farm bond points for EVEN MORE SQs.
I must have had 300+ battles which lasted until the final moments of the raid.
I was ready to give up once the raid ends...
So, I thought, hey, I'll try to get 15 more SQs- that's literally the last I can afford. The other Servants' bond exps are too high for what remaining HP the Beast had.
Part of me wanted to settle for 13 SQs- I wasn't sure if the last Servant would make it anyway... but I decided to persevere.
So, I ended up with 15 SQs.
First pull. Nada. Kept going until I had 3 SQs remaining...
And then, no lag- but GOLDEN RIDER?!
I was skeptical because I've gotten 3 baits before this: Marie Antoinette, and 2 times for Nikitich.
BUT THEN. FINALLY. HE CAME. HE FINALLY CAME.
...And I proceeded to throw all my resources at him.
NORMALLY I only grail Servants who have proven themselves to me, even if I really, really love them.
...But you, Taigong Wang, you get a pass.
I don't even care anymore that I've lost too much for this man, but I do lament that I couldn't provide him with the proper supports (Skadi).
STILL! I enjoy using him. Sadly, I don't have much opportunities to use him yet, unlike how I do with Odysseus (another fave! ...Why are they all riders?!). I'm gonna find a way to force use him though!
So yeah, that's it for my Taigong Wang summons. Admittedly, this was the most effort I've placed for a summon...
I've had Merlin flashbacks...
So... I've saved up my SQs for Muramasa and Douman, both of which sucked me dry.
-Actually, neither of them came home from SQs I DID SAVE UP but from SQs I had to forcefully farm from interludes and rank up quests. For that? I had to feed my servants with my exp savings just so they meet the conditions for interludes+rank ups, not to mention, I had to farm bond levels for even more SQs.
That said, they did come home... at a huge (F2P) price.
Now, I'm saving for Oberon but he's on a lower priority-
So, with Chaldea Boys here, I was just thinking- "Man, the CEs are pretty, I'll just pull for them".
Anyway, I said I'll only use my tickets, but decided to use up 10, plus one ten-pull hoping to get the 5-star CEs...
AND THIS GUY DECIDED TO COME HOME-
I MEAN SURE! Amakusa isn't on my high priority list, but given that he just got a new skin? He's definitely a welcome addition to the team!
Anyway, since I got him and I was still lacking some CEs, I figured I'd wait for Odysseus' banner since I've gotten pretty attached to the guy after the Aeaea event. Heck, he's my favorite Servant right now- favorite mythological hero, even.
I did end up getting all the CEs I wanted, but... while I did tell myself that I'll only use my tickets... I ended up using my SQ stash.
-Not that I had a lot to begin with; I think I only had like... 160+ SQs anyway?
And now, I only have 60 SQs left ahaha...
But with this 5-star CE, I managed to grab the final one from the event shop, which means I've collected them all!
The real kicker?
Well, let's go back to last year when Odysseus released... it took me more than 300+ of my SQs to force him home.
For this banner, copies of him actually did come home.
...Not once, not twice...
BUT THRICE.
So, yeah. Now I have an NP4 Odysseus. From less than 200 SQs worth of pulls??? SOMEHOW???
Maybe all my nerding about The Odyssey these past few months served as his catalyst ahahahaha...
Funny thing? I had a similar situation last FGO summer event when all I wanted was a copy of the Odysseus CE, but ended up with an NP2 Sigurd-
did you know that there's technically 100% official genderbend images of the main f/sn cast (besides the obvious for saber) because of some art in the background of a taiga genderbend
Today was quite fun! I loved how Odysseus someone proved himself to be a great strategist.
So, when I first surveyed the map, I was like... “Oh damn. How do I deal with this???”, I mean, they have freakin’ Karna and I wasn’t allowed to use saber. I don’t have any assassins appropriate for this round, so I decided to not bring along one and just compensate with CEs.
I originally wanted to bring a support caster for Odysseus, but he sad nah (I ran out of servant limit for a 5-star support), so I ended up picking Servants who are best suited for defensive maneuvers.
Emiya was picked for Archer cause he has evade... and for rider, I had way too many choices: Ozy, Achilles and Odysseus. I ended up picking Odysseus cause I knew that he was a good defensive servant, and surviving was what I needed most... I thought.
Honestly, I was just hoping for Emiya to defend Gudako from MHX and Karna, while she runs away with her bodyguard, CasCu. Thankfully, Karna and his assassin friend kept refusing to attack! I guess it was due to their personality? That said, Odysseus saw an opportunity- most of the Servants guarding the opponent master were casters, so he’d be at an advantage despite the number disadvantage.
On the way, he encountered Merlin and chipped off one life from the guy.
Karna and MHX kept being wishywashy while Emiya kept on guard.
Odysseus then left Merlin and continued onward against D’eon. Due to the saber typing, it wasn’t as easy, but Odysseus pulled through. It was here that the opponent master began his escape attempt.
Sanzang kept guard and attacked Odysseus, but thanks to his rider typing, he managed to take her down fast.
Odysseus kept chasing the master while Shakespeare tailed from behind. They clashed a bit, but Odysseus once again prevailed and took down one life from the playwright.
The chase continued... until he was cornered all the way to Gudako’s territory.
And then, it was checkmate.
I’ve been pulling here and there whenever Scáthach gets a rate up cause I wanted to re-unite her with Cu. Always failed to pull though... until now.
And she came from a freakin’ ticket pull.
Granted, I’ve done at least one ten pull prior already? Just been splurging a bit of extra tickets and SQs here and there.
SO ANYWAY. I asked my brother to press the button for a ticket pull, but he kept refusing to do it cause he wanted to do a 10-pull... but I’m saving my SQs for Limbo, so I was like, “FINE. I’LL DO IT”- and then I pressed the single pull. GOLDEN SPARKS. LANCER??? BOOM.
Sharp golden eyes watch you closely. How every hero seems so very close to you. How they touch you so liberally and you accept their affection with a smile.
Odysseus has fallen into a habit to observe you quietly in the common room.
You lean against Chiron as the hero explains something to you. Your head nuzzled against the side of the centaurs chest, his arm wrapped around you, a hand caressing your hip as the Archer chats on. The other servants that are near are unperturbed by, in Odysseus' opinion, the intimate moment between Chiron and you.
The Rider supposes that it is a little different than a normal Holy Grail war, where Masters have only one servant. Yet here multiple servants have to share you. Your attention, your mana and also your affection.
Some servants are a little more blatant and daring. And Odysseus almost feels like he is intruding on something again when he sees Achilles ruffling your hair.
The pair of you standing in the hallway, the green haired Rider looks around for onlookers, Odysseus knows Achilles has seen him. The quirk of the Greek hero's lips tells Odysseus as much.
Yet the knowledge that Odysseus is watching doesn't deter Achilles one bit as the Rider leans down to capture your lips with his own.
Your hands grip Achilles scarf, fisting fabric briefly before gently pushing the hero away.
"Achilles someone will see-"
"Ahah sorry master"
There was absolutely no sorrow in Achilles' voice and Odysseus clicks his tongue but decides to turn back to the way he came. He felt annoyed, ruffled and even envious.
You, how you are friendly with him, yet you never stood closer than you absolutely had to. Never unfriendly, but also not overly familiar with him. Odysseus knew you weren't his lover, friend nor family. You are his Master.
Normally it would be fine, normally Servants weren't something more than a weapon for the mages to use in the Holy Grail war. Even if it was a normal situation you already treated him kinder than a mage should.
The rider sighs and runs his hand through his hair. Maybe his past transgressions against Proper Human history were too much for even you to look past. Some hero of adventure he was.
This brewing storm of unasked questions and unspoken words all come to a head a few days later, during a Rayshift to whatever place you needed to go for materials.
In the heat of battle an attack would have hit and injured you if Odysseus didn't step in. He did so by pulling you close to himself, shielding you, before dispatching enemies quickly.
With a simple smile and a quick nod you move away from the Rider to guide and command the other servants that joined for the adventure.
Right before nightfall, while the others have their own task, you and Odysseus search the nearby area for ley lines.
Dusk is setting in, giving everything a beautiful golden hue.
Odysseus keeps silent as he watches you. You didn’t protest when Chiron suggested he accompany you instead of Achilles, the Archer smirking as he said "No work will be done if those two are left to their own devices." Which caused Achilles to roll his eyes, before tilting his head towards you. Looking for any signs you might be against the idea.
You only grinned and nodded.
You don't say a lot to him during your search for leylines. Just occasional quip or observations of the area.
Odysseus notes that you keep a respectable distance from him. It doesn't seem you are angry or uncomfortable with him, rather you seem at peace with how things are. He, however, is not.
"Are you not satisfied with me as your servant?"
You stop and turn so fast to face the Rider, it feels like your world is spinning. You gape at him like a fish out of water, what in the world has gotten into his head.
"No, why?" You say, after getting your bearings. Tilting your head up to really observe the man. Odysseus seems rather unfazed to you. Thanks to the helmet still covering his face you don't have any clue to the thoughts inside of that head of his.
"You don't seem overly fond of my presence near you."
Odysseus takes step forward and then another until he stands close enough to feel your mana surrounding you. It feels warm, different, different from what he can remember from any Holy Grail war he has been summoned to.
You let out a soft sigh. You really hadn't meant it to be so obvious. You look to the side for a moment, gathering your wits while you focus on a single leaf on a tree branch not far away.
How do you explain this?
You didn't hold any grudges towards the man. It is just a lot. A lot to have to fight him, a lot to meet him again on a island only with him not remembering anything and finally when he answered your summons one day. This time remembering bits and pieces of the ordeal in Atlantis.
So the easiest thing for you to do was to keep the man at arms length, just until your feelings settled.
To be perfectly honest, you thought he was fine with the current situation. So everything stagnated, your budding trust and bond with Rider.
"Master"
Odysseus calls you from your musings and as you finally look up at the man before, you realise that you have been a bit unfair to him.
You look up at him through your lashes, a coy smile playing on your lips.
"Do you want me near you?"
Odysseus sighs before a smile pulls at his lips behind his mask. Achilles has been a bit too liberal with his affections of late.
Your breath gets caught in your throat as Odysseus fingers brushes your cheek. The Rider leans down and his helmet disappears in glitters of gold. And you can feel his breath on your ear when he finally speak, the sensation causing a pleasant shiver run up your spine.
"You are my Master too."
Back at the camp Achilles scowls in the direction of the woods before turning towards his friend and teacher.
"I thought you said I was the one who wasn't going to get any work done with Master"
Chiron smirks at the cheeky comment before giving the Rider a pointed look.
I haven’t started on the story event itself (cause my phone still be charging XD) but I’ve done my rolls.
Thanks to my early Castoria roll, I can splurge a bit! So I figured I’d roll on the male banner cause of that Odysseus CE... YEAH. THAT’S RIGHT. I’M ROLLING FOR A FUCKING CE.
So yeah. I had 500+ SQs... and ended with 270. 30 tickets and ended with 10.
I... overspent.
What did I get though? NP4 Lanling (who I’ve recently leveled up- was NP1 before this.)
NP2 Fionn. I GUESS he’s ok. (Had NP1 before this)
FREAKIN NP2 SIGURD. I mean... I didn’t want WANT one... but getting one was nice???
And yes, I got 2 freakin’ SSRs before the damn CE.
I MEAN HE’S SO FINE OK.
And then I figured... hey, I still have 10 tix let’s splurge it on the female banner cause I kinda want Summer Bryn for the Bryn x Sigurd ship.
10 tickets later, I decided to do 2 last SQ pulls cause I had 276 SQs- just so I’d end with 270 SQs.
And then she dropped in.
I- WHY. I’M LITERALLY OUT OF LEVEL UP MATS CAUSE OF SIGURD.
Welp. Three SSRs in one day. 216 SQs and 30 tix spent.
Idk. Good banner... but yeah. Why do these 5-stars keep coming when I’m not specifically targeting them? RIP me. I gotta farm.
Y’all should know how the first few hours after anniv maintenance was so busy that people couldn’t get in, right?
So, I wasn’t planning on rolling right away since my birthday was literally in a few hours (midnight) so I figured, why not roll for her on the eve of my bday?
Come midnight, I started up FGO (having collected all tickets, gifts and SQs some hours earlier) to finally make my summon.
Started out with 517 SQs and 35 summon tickets. I wasn’t really aware of the SQ fragments coming, so I was actually planning to go into this with like... 300+ SQs, so that was a pleasant surprise.
So of course, I started out with one summon ticket.
GOLD CARD APPEARS.
.................. And it’s a lancer.
I mean... I already have her at NP5, so rare prism get? But also, I guess it’s a good omen? I mean... gold card right at the start is good, right?
So I keep pulling until I decided to finally do some 10 pulls.
And then another gold-
.............. Nezha.
At least it’s my first copy.
I do a few more 10 and then get another Nezha along the way.
90 SQs and 15 tix down. Still not bad. I mean, Odysseus took 300+ and back in the days, threw 300+ for Ozy who didn’t come home. It’s still early and I’ve still got 300+ SQs and 20 tix.
Threw in another 30 SQs....................
AND THEN SHE CAME HOME.
Honestly, it was quite anticlimactic since she came without sparks.
BUT HEY. She came in with just 15 tix and 120 SQs, which is not bad!
Best of all, I get to have her birthday greeting ASAP <3
Anyway, thanks for the bday pity, FGO.
Now, if only you’ll be merciful toward me come Limbo and Muramasa.......
