Imaginary Scramble as an event holistically is just above average. There are some good parts, some iffy parts, some bad parts, and some amazing parts, but as a whole it definitely doesn't hit as hard as Atlantis or Avalon le Fae.

The ending though, the final message, the whole theme the story is trying to bring to bear:

You are created by something larger than you could ever imagine. You have a purpose set for you since your creation. Your skills and your passion are not your own. Everything that you are belongs to someone else first, your passion, your personality, your identity, all of it is patchwork made by taking it from someone else. Someone better than you.

Strip away all that the world has forced unto you, and you will find barely anything good.

You are a cheap knockoff, you are the off-brand product someone has to settle with because the real deal is too expensive and out of reach, you are a tasteless exploitation of someone else's hard work and struggle, the only positive quality the world thinks you have is the profit you can bring to your creator, your skills that are not your own

But, you are alive. You are here, you have desires, you have hopes and dreams, you want and you want and you want, and the world condemns you just because of your existence, but you are here, right here and right now, and you are trying and you are living and-

I love you, Clytie van Gogh. From one tasteless gutter copycat to another, I love you Miss Van Gogh.

It's been nearly a year since you gave me this self-portrait. Despite everything, it's your face.

With my unwavering loyalty and friendship, a handshake to you.

Van Gogh: alright, one last handshake, and I'm seeing you off-

Guda, gripping her hand with all their might: You're coming up with me motherfucker

BB-Hotep is the best Foreigner because she's not even a Foreigner servant. Nyarlathotep didn't give one single shit about the plan to take over earth he just saw BB trapping humanity in an endless Comiket and was like 'I vibe with that'. She didn't even go to the cosmic horror swimsuit event she's just in an equal partnership w nyarlathotep based on pure Vibes

Van Gogh's event tanked my faith in fgo when they said Van Gogh killed himself to avoid becoming a pawn of the Lovecraft gods and completely retconned the severe depression Van Gogh suffered from which also was the true cause of his death.

Someone at Type Moon hopefully at the very least asked the question:

"we're already treading a 20 story tightrope above the thin ice on the surface of an electrified shark tank by taking this massively revisionist approach to a famous historical case of how our society fails to properly deal with mental health, is there anything we can do to make it come across more tastefully?"

but unfortunately if they did, their answer was:

"Oh that's easy! Put all the women in bikinis and make a bad pun every other paragraph!"
