A Chaldea in the shadow casted by a moon drown under an ocean

If you like the male protagonist of FSN, Sigurd or the ship Saber x said male protagonist, don't bother to read my blog/posts since:

I ship all the Nobus with all the Artorias. I don't like OkiNobu, no comment on that pair.

I hate and despise Emiya Shirou - orange head, Emiya, Gilgamesh - Goldie, Sigurd, Ozy.

Also hate: Emiya Kiritsugu, F/Z Rider

I hate and detest Saber x Goldie, Saber x Shirou, Brynhildr x Sigurd

I'm not convinced that Ophelia loves Wodime romantically. I concede that she respects him.

Go ahead and block me if my posts bother you.

I don't like the headcanon that Nobu is against Artoria's persistent, lingering wish to save Britain. She's been there, done that and has her unification cut short as well. In lore, she was impressed with Artoria's most cherished wish and her determination. Not even her brother Kay approved of how her mind is always about duty. Nobu's open-mindedness means she expect anything to happen and she could accept Artoria's wishful hope for a chance to save Britain of the past. Sticking with Artoria despite getting freaked out by her dedication to her goal is one thing nobody has been able to do for Artoria. Not as an equal or someone who could truly understand her. The comedic element of their meeting can be deceiving but it's partly he fault of graphic constraints. Even when Artoria cried tears of happiness, Nobu didn't comment on it but confidently went on about how she was good at seeing the potential in people. If it was in animation, expect Artoria to subconscious shed tears and sparkling background. So what if MHX interact only during Dead Heat? They almost died twice, got put in prison and went up against a goddess.

I like to think the situation of Xiang Yu-Yu mirrors that off Nobutoria. Yu does have someone else who loves her but whose feelings she doesn't reciprocate - Xu Fu. The alchemist understand her burden and wish but still only as a human. Artoria too have people who claim to love her. Lancelot became resentful of her in the end because he couldn't bear the guilt. Emiya S who couldn't accept her way of being and life. Kay who became so frustrated and unable to understand her. All three fundamentally can't understand her since their birth weren't messed with and they didn't have the burden of royalty on their shoulders. Nobu here is similar to Xiang Yu in her grandiose vision. She can't compete with him on computing ability, her (joke) daughter Suzuka probably can. Her vision for the future could function similar to Artoria's. It's obvious to the readers her Master is Artoria Pendragon. She however jokingly said she wanted her as Master since she likes the girl's look. She also repeatedly called her Master a bishounen despite the person in question keeps correcting her. It's as though she know her Master had to pretend to be a man in another life. Nobu might vaguely aware that her Master is the King of Knights too. Not only she indirectly encouraged Artoria (X) to follow that 'foolish' dream of saving Britain, she doesn't bother stopping X from trying to kill Sabers either - Okita included.

I suggested before that Artoria can't exhibit the normal kind of madness since her protectors are moon goddesses. Lancelot however is protected by a lake fairy. A lake can act as a mirror to reflect the moon light but unless the lake is still on windless night, the moon reflected on the lake will be distorted. It's fitting that Lancelot is the most frequently affected by the madness and the madness that haunted him permanently until the after life has to do with Artoria - the moon's protectee. But he is protected by the lake meaning the protection is susceptible to be weaken specifically against the night sky and the moon. If it was the lake deities then the degree of madness will depends on which deity it is. Furthermore since Artoria is under the protection of the moon, those around her without the moon's protection will be driven mad. Even the ones to receive her affection. Examples: Lancelot, her people, even Gwen

It's been a long time. If you are reading this still, I hope you are doing well. I'm back on here since this site allows me to write properly. I apologize in advance if my posts look like they're repeating themselves. Just found out that I have a bunch of drafts saved so I'll just post them.

I experienced that emptiness after finishing a video game feeling Nasu mentioned already. But that may have more to do with how the world is going up in literal flame in this dimension.

[theoceanthatdrownthemoon-chaldea]

Was that a mass panic over ORT raid then? Aside from the people recently starting the game thus having less Servants, long time players that didn't neglect at least leveling everyone up should manage. White Lion King's warning to gather as many stars as possible rang true for the second time.

Millions of HP didn't save him from a single person's righteous grudge. So much for being a self-proclaimed Zhenren. It's your turn to get burnt and buried, moth.

Good luck everyone, my friend gave up upon seeing this map. RNG is capricious.

[theoceanthatdrownthemoon-chaldea]

As a class, Ruler isn't my favourite due to them needing gems from multiple classes to level up their skills.

[theoceanthatdrownthemoon-chaldea]

Even if Morgan hadn't finished off Jinako's Servants, Ruler Artoria already cornered her. Their rule breaking tendency broke my fourth wall here. Normally the stone wall Ruler Artoria may have been more suited to defend me/Gudako while the incarnation of winter storm goes after the enemy Master, mowing down other Servants. But since Jinako used Moon Cancers to defend herself, switching roles between them worked. Jinako may think she has home field advantage of Moon Cell but strangely coincidentally I have the moon blessed (Ruler) Artoria and the ocean born/favoured Morgan so those conceptually advantages would apply more to them than Jinako.

My weird combination somehow works again so I don't advise anyone following my lead. Aside from them I only have Support Karna who died in a duel to Arjuna and that snake Caster who was unable to Gut himself.

28 turns CQ the Daikokuten Mice. I was lucky to have Morgan otherwise it may have been a real nightmare resembling the infestation of mice in this world.

There's just something darn nasty about Uther's machinations and Merlin's meddling that caused both Morgan and Artoria to be on the opposite ends in terms of goals.

Still don't take what Gordolf, Holmes said about them being full blood sisters in human sense. Discounting the adopted Lancelot, how do they explain Morgan's other children's ages comparing to Artoria?

Until she's summoned, no one, not even Romani knew King Arthur is a woman. Blackmore cemetery's people knew about that because Morgan created a cult there. Morgan's profile does not say Uther is her blood father either. Until the two ladies in question elaborate, I think it's safe to remember characters got information wrong a lot of time even on screen and leave room for later correction from the directly involved party.

The reasons that Morgan even helped us summoning Taisui are subtle hints to what her summer version would reveal about herself.

1. Her affection for the Rain clan. The Trung Kings are rain calling deities. Perhaps due to nostalgia or it's the fact that they're sisters or even a combination of both. In-game Trung Trac felt guilty about dragging her sister to death along with her with the rebellion. On the other hand there is nothing Trung Nhi wouldn't do for her sister. Morgan's adopted sister died for her.

2. The Cons. They're innocent. They played with her and let her pet them. Repaying their affection has to do with Morgan's desire to save others in the beginning of her journey. She understood and appreciated reciprocated affection/kindness. This was first started with the Rain clan. Next were her companions. Even after thousands of years as the Winter Queen it was there as seen with Baobhan Sith and PHH Habetrot.

3. Her contract with Chaldea. It was the last thing on her mind but she still reluctantly acknowledged it. This is her sense of duty.

4. Taisui. He switched between the young version and the adult version. Like Morgan, he specialised in curses. Summer Morgan does switch between her Ascension stages that represent 3 different points in her life. This point may be incorrect cause I don't want to spoil myself of the next event too much.

During the course of this event, I finally NP5 Angra. I don't know why he decided to show up again after all this time. I wonder if there is a hidden rate up for Habetrot? I got 3/4 copies of her so she's finally NP5 too. Somehow it felt like a delayed arrival as I threw more than 100x FP rolls at her before to no avail. Yay, I suppose.

[theoceanthatdrownthemoon-chaldea]

The words 'insane' and 'Boddhisatva's smile' have both been used to describe Artoria.

[theoceanthatdrownthemoon-chaldea]

Morgan's material mentioned that she has been away from home for too long and it was the reason her skill Avalon le Fae went down to C rank. The current event took place on an island without any human around. It is as close to her original home as anywhere could be. So for the duration of the event, she goes back and forth in a manner akin to traveling from pseudo-home (Con island) to work (Chaldea).
