PSA: For fan works, reblog and like from OP

Tumblr is rolling out a new reblog/notes system that completely disregards creators. In their new system, they're taking a twitter-style approach where reblogs will have their own notes that DO NOT contribute to the original post's notes.

Because of this, creators will no longer be able to see an accurate display of likes/reblogs/etc. This is completely altering the way feedback and responses to works are going to be received on this website.

If you come across a fan work that you enjoy, please take the extra step to go to OPs original post, and leave your comment/like/reblog there. Or go one step further and send an ask to OP directly to tell them what you liked!

I really hope Tumblr staff reverses course and reverts to the original reblog system for the sake of the large base of creators who use this site to share their works, but until then, please be considerate and make sure the creators here see/feel the love.

Woah mama if you are transphobic you get the Elvis Special (a bullet)

[master-candidate-43]

after a lot of deliberating i eventually decided to pick the 6th Lucky bag because it seemed like the best chances. i already have most of these 5 stars, and of the ones i don't this bag was 3 vs 1 servants i had some amount of interest in including "Manannán mac Lir "(Bazett).

So of course I got Super Bunyan

but i got Space Rin (Ishtar) from the Destiny Order! her and Abby were the ones i was most excited for there!

also still trying for Aesc though

For anyone curious about my Destiny Order draw, I picked:

Saber - Charlemagne

Archer - Gilgamesh

Lancer - Scathach

Rider - Ozymandias

Caster - Prisma Illya

Assassin - Koyanskaya

Berserker - Ibuki Doji

Ruler/Avenger/Moon Cancer - Space Rin (Ishtar)

Alter Ego/Foreigner/Pretender/Beast - Abigail

Not perfect, but here's a quick Mash edit I made this morning. I'll probably go back and try to clean it up some later.

Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet

[stuckinapril]

She’s so one dimensionally evil you guys 😭😭 how is she real

[mintedwitcher]

read this and remember it. read this and remember that she is going to use the profits of her fucking ego-stroking reboot to decimate trans rights. read this and remember that every time you pay into her IP, you are emboldening her to hurt us more.

our lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

trans lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

[call-me-noa]

It’s rather a moot point since she’s a test tube baby made in Antarctica, but Mash is probably supposed to be ethnically Jewish.

Mash (מש) is a name mentioned in the Bible, a great grandson of Noah, and is probably derived from the Hebrew mush (מוש); to depart, masha (משה), to draw out; or mashak (משך), to draw or drag. (source)

Mash’s name has also been romanized as Matthew before, on a Valentine’s CE. Though granted in the rerun they edited the picture to say Mash instead. Still, like Mash, Matthew is a Hebrew name, מתתיהו, Gift of Yahweh (God).

Kyrielight is gibberish; it’s the Greek Κύριε (lord, as in “kyrie eleison”, “lord have mercy”) with the English light.

Mash being Jewish would also tie into Marisbury’s connection to Solomon, as well as Galahad’s connection to David.

Romani being a cutie + a Mash for Your Dash

[the8thsphynx]

listen ik that Cu Alter and normal Cu have the same height/weight which implies they should have the same build. but I think Cu Alter deserves to have bigger tits than him. the crocodile man should be allowed to breast boobily. I think that would fix him

I, for one, agree and think Cu Alter deserves to have Ireland's tallest mountains be his pecs.

[FGO] Fairy Knight Cú Chulainn (Alter)! An experiment that took two weeks longer than I wanted it to, but I'm happy with how it turned out. 👑

Romani being a cutie + a Mash for Your Dash

[picaroroboto]

So Altria’s got her star and Oberon has his Titania, both things that are distant and unreachable, even nonexistent, but still inspire them to keep going, strange that Guda doesn’t have anything like that too - *remembers how they broke out of the Garden of Lost Will thanks to Romani’s memory* oh wait.

[onebitart]

Romani Archaman for headshot? Thank you!

hey doctor....🤨 what are u eating at 2 am....?🤨🤨🤨

[curiooftheheart]

So the kanji used for Mashu's name can be translated to Matthew. Matthew means "gift from god." Kyrie is Latin for "Lord." and light means light. Now I'm not very good at this kind of stuff, but I think that means that one possible meaning for the name "Mashu Kyrielight" would be "one gifted with the light of God." does that sound right to you?

Sounds good to me. Although you could take Mash herself as the gift so like “The Lord’s Gift of Light.” Either way makes the fact that her mentor who helped awaken her NP was Cu Chulainn, Ireland’s Son of Light, even better.

[celtic-pyro-deactivated20230725]

HOLY SHIT

[da-boy-o-kultur]

There is also the fact that Romani (everyone knows who he actually is) is basically her Dad and she was like a gift from God to him.

[saeraas]

why are they making all the hindu gods sakurafaces.... can't they be creative for once...

[call-me-noa]

please correct me if I’m wrong but Kali, Parvati, and Durga are all different aspects of the same goddess right? So it makes sense if one is a Sakuraface that the others would be too.

tbh though Parvati shouldn’t have been a Sakuraface in the first place, but what I mean is this issue is traced back to her

[saeraas]

yeah, that's right... but I didn't like Parvati being a Sakuraface from the jump either, nor Kama and Kama's not even a different aspect of Parvati. it's boring to me and using that as justification for the design is just too easy im sorry

[irrusdomnann]

I think another disappointing part is that they went out of their way to make Kali at least look somewhat less "human" with the blue skin and the multiple arms and then Durga just looks...like that.

Especially noticeable because some of the iconography (the multiple arms all holding weapons) are shared between them and Durga is often depicted with red skin, so I feel like they could have absolutely done something more interesting even if you excise the Sakuraface thing from the conversation (which you shouldn't because it's a boring decision.)

[boobiemom]

Still really hate that Mashu is being called "Mash" so universally, I fucking despise it. Fucking shitty translation, lazy and garbage. Everyone ignored "Altria", why the fuck are they accepting "Mash"?

[hasmashdoneanythingwrong]

At least Mash is an actual (if archaic) name.

[hasishtardoneanythingwrong]

Mash is, particularly, a biblical name. Genesis 10:23, "The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash." Kinda fitting given who named her.

Also, while it's an entirely different franchise/company, I feel like this is relevant. Not the first time people have decided on it being Mash.

[boobiemom]

I honestly do not care if it is, that was not their intention. I had it explained to me as "Mashu is an alternate version of Nasu, and he localizes his name as Nash (????) so it's Mash for her"

She's also not biblical by any means, so that's irrelevant.

[hasishtardoneanythingwrong]

...she was named by Solomon, I cannot see how that is irrelevant.

[master-candidate-43]

#never seen that explanation for her name before in 8 years of fgo

Really where did that come from?

"Mashu" is the phonetic pronunciation of Matthew written in Japanese katakana (マシュー). It got changed to "Mash" (マシュ) because fans outside of Japan started calling her Mash and it got super popular. [Her first VDay CE] even originally said Matthew on it, but got changed to Mash later.
