Adult! For Funsies AU! Paris-Alexander

I've had this concept in the back of my head for quite a few years, maybe ever since the beginning of the AU, I just never drew it before

I like the idea of Paris' hair darkening as he gets older and him looking similar to Hektor in that, as well as I like the idea of him having a super long braid

I always wanted to animate him to Chop Suey by SOAD, maybe someday it will happen

[kiwikipedia]

Chiron, reading off a piece of paper: The illiad is called the illiad because illium was another name for Troy and “-ad” was a suffix that meant “the story of”

Odysseus: so you’re saying…. the illiad should be called Troy Story?

Hector: Thanks I hate it

Achilles: You gotta friend in horse

Paris, crying: YOU DO NOT HAVE A FRIEND IN HORSE

Sibling Bonds

===

Gareth: Does anyone mind handing me a glass of water-?

Gawain: I will-

Percival: I will-

Gawain and Percival: [narrows eyes]

[both race to go get it and prolly break something while Agravain just stiffly hands Gareth a drink nonchalantly]

===

Paris: Big brother, can I get some water-?

Hektor: Hah? Just because you're in this form doesn't mean this old man will do everything for you.

[Already headed to the fridge]

Hektor: You need to take responsibility for your own actions, you little brat.

[Already poured the water]

Hektor: Sheesh, this old man isn't going to be there to clean your mess all the time.

[Handing the water over]

Paris: Big brother, you meanie-! Thank you,,

(Apollo: He did it all anyways...)

===

Karna: Arjuna, would you mind handing me some water-?

[Arjuna walks past without saying anything.]

Karna: ...

[A moment later, he comes back with a glass.]

Karna: Oh- than-

Karna: Wait, why did you just get me a cup of ice???

Arjuna: Wait for it to melt.

THIS IS WHAT PEAK PERFORMANCE LOOKS LIKE

YOU MAY NOT LIKE IT

BUT THIS IS WHAT PEAK PERFORMANCE LOOKS LIKE

A friend said "You sure do like your low rarities" And it made me think of this.

[300iqprower]

Distraught at the fact that Paris—the one dude that took down Achilles—is a fucking two star. Like thank you for being here but I'm waiting for you to be great,,?

Also we need more older servants "Throne of Heroes records people in their prime" go directly to hell Kama is in immense pain just give me a woman with wrinkles who can rip you to shreds goddammit

"records people in their prime" is just code for "we get to do whatever the fuck we want and say it's lore accurate" and any claim of otherwise was atomized with Zenobia. It tells you everything that one of the only times they've explicitly invoked that rule is when they're pre-emptively making excuses for how they took one of the most feared enemies of the Roman empire, a scholar and warrior queen who conquered so many territories she had an empire of her own that Rome feared would eventually destroy them if they didn't conquer her first, and made her entire characterization how she was defeated by Romans.

It's also very pathetic that the closest thing we have to a middle aged woman, let alone one above 50, is a character drawn by Riyo.

My issue with paris isn't his rarity, i think that's pretty fair when his only legendary act was with cheats, it's more that....he's not really a character, he's just a vehicle for Apollo. Pretty much everything he says and does is about Apollo (a character I should mention is never treated as anything more than a gag) including his valentine, SOMETHING YOU'D THINK WOULD BE MORE MEANINGFUL GIVEN THE WHOLE DEAL WITH HIS STORY. He also has no role in Atlantis that couldnt be achieved by replacing him with an inanimate plot device object, which is massively disappointing both because Paris fits the theme perfectly of underdog heroes achieving what legends couldn't, and how ya know...IT'S APOLLO AGAINST HIS CORRUPTED SISTER? HE DIDNT HAVE ANY MORE THAN A FEW "oh well" LINES ABOUT ARTEMIS????

Also weird how Artemis is a 4 star but her exact equal of Apollo is a 2 star. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. ...Oh well, Artemis is so shit as a unit by comparison that I suppose it's fine in that instance.

I want Achilles to appear in my Chaldea. Not, because I like him. Not, because of his gameplay value. But, because of Achilles diss club.

I got lvl90 Hektor, lvl 80 Paris and I have both Penthesilea and Mandricardo.

The amount of sass they'd give him. I just want to see Achilles waltz into my Chaldea and sees Hektor being more powerful than ever. I'd happily open my wallet for it.
