1. It's supremely hard to pick an overall favorite between my top two (Mordred and Illyasviel), but I've decided I'll pick Mordred for this one. I find the design characterful and fun (and the design in of itself ties into her personality and distinct esteem issues). She's impulsive, selfish, supremely overconfident, does bad things and continues to do bad things because she has to be convinced she's right or it all crumbles down. Her resentments and rage mask a deep desire to be loved and accepted. An imitation that wants to validate her existence. 2. Passionlip. Like, honestly no offense Passion, but your design turns me off so hard that your only okay personality cannot hope to compensate. 3. "I hate you, I hate you. I hate you, the perfect king. I hate you, who didn’t acknowledge my existence. Even though I was happy to be in your shadow. You never once turned around to face me." 4. Many, but I give it to All evils of the world 5. So many, but Berserker's Errand in particular 6. Winter forest (UBW adaptation) 7. Shiki-Mikiya (These two kids are very important) 8. Shirou-Sakura (Boring and way too rote) 9. Saber-Rin (I like their interplay a lot) 10. Shirou-Illya (I have to deal with enough otaku pandering fap material incest between biological relatives to have to deal with it here) 11. Mordred, for the reasons she's my favorite. Characters I relate to are the ones I like the most. (Ha ha ha my life and its mistakes) 12. Meltlilith. Her design initially turned me off a bit but as I read about her and watched videos I began to love her quite a bit. Her personality is something I find equal parts interesting and sympathetic and I got used to the design. 13. Sakura. Her design and personality and appearances in Zero really made me like her but as time went on... well, she's sort of angsty to extremely ridiculous levels and her motivations and relationship with Shirou aren't that great. 14. Already picked Winter forest, so... At the end of a miracle 15. Illya and Berserker together in UBW's second opening 16. Already picked the above two, so Saber of Red's passing in Apocrypha Volume 5 17. As a practicing Muslim, I intend to only marry, and afterwards "fug", another Muslim. Therefore, the only candidates are the Hassans. Out of the Hassans, my preference would be Hassan of Serenity. Of course, I would die immediately afterwards from her poisoned body, but while my brain melts I can at least think that it was worth it. In short, a silly response to a silly question. 18. Illyasviel von Einzbern; unlike Mo-san, she'd welcome it. 19. At the end of a miracle (certainly will make me cry when adapted) 20. Nothing wrong with Saber clones. 21. There's no ending I'd consider unsatisfactory for a Type-Moon character. That said, in terms of sentimentalism... I wish Illyasviel von Einzbern had more time to live. 22. Kairi Sisigou 10/10 would be Mo-san's Master. I'd try to give her a good time and let her relax for once. |

TERRIBLE dialogues 2015

1. Kiritsugu or Heracles. For Kiritsugu it's because of how I relate to him and his goals plus I like his character type. For Heracles it's because he's one of my childhood heroes and also because like Kiritsugu I relate to him heavily and also like Kiritsugu I like his character type. 2. If I had to choose my absolute least favorite character who I don't like at all it'd have to be Elizabeth Bathory. Pure fanservice, generic personality and also based off a mass murderer while using those things. Bleh. 3. "You surpass your own myth to the very end." "I want to be...a hero." "You're strong......Berserker." "I WAS HERE!!!!!" 4. All of Kara no Kyoukai 5. Such a smart, intelligent and moving movie that the whole thing makes you think the whole time. 5. Literally all of Iskander and Waver's scenes together in Zero. Such great chemistry between the two of them. 6. Illya and Herc's deaths in Unlimited Blade Works. Diarmuid's death in Fate/Zero. Kiritsugu seeing the results of his choice in Fate/Zero. Everything with Tomoe towards the end of KnK 5. Shiki and Mikiya holding each other in KnK 7. 7. Irisviel/Kiritsugu. Such a sweet couple. <3 8. Shirou/Sakura. Sakura is bland ATM and I greatly prefer Shirou/Rin and Saber's more interesting then Sakura so yah. 9. Diarmuid/Arturia. They totally dig each other. 10. Gilgamesh/Arturia. Because since when was rape overtones suitable for shipping Gil/Saber fans plz. 11. Like I said Kiritsugu or Heracles. Both have qualities I relate to immensely. 12. Kiritsugu. He went from kind of a dick to a fascinating and incredibly deep character. 13. Kirei. I really liked him at the beginning of Zero but then he became well....Kirei. 14. Heracles and Illya's death scene in Unlimited Blade Works by far. 15. The banquet of kings. Sure shit went down later on but having these three kings sit down and just discuss their views was just glorious and unique to watch. 16. Basically all of Kiritsugu's backstory and Heracles being unable to kill Gil. 17. Heracles and his big manhood. ![]() 18. Illya. Kiritsugu. Irisviel. Heracles. Shirou. Rin. Erm a lot 19. Heracles fighting Gilgamesh. Super emotionally packed and is a massive moment. 20. I think Nasu's worldbuilding is kinda stupid 25% of the time in general, 50% of the time in Fate. 21. I'd change Heracles and Illya's fate in UBW. Have Heracles kick Gil's golden ass. 22. None because they're all too amazing to replace. Edited by Siegzilla, Apr 20 2015, 02:47 AM.

YOU THOUGHT SOMEONE ELSE WOULD BE ANSWERING BUT IT WAS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! XEKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1. Your favourite character and why. I'm gonna name like six characters for this. Waver & Iskandar: It would be easier to name reasons to dislike these two, I always like characters like Waver sure he's kind of a brat but like a cute brat. And Iskandar is best King 10/10 cool guys. Gilgamesh: I Have so many feelings about Gilgamesh i didn't know i had so he gets his own section because i love him. Not only is he the flawless king of heroes but also in my opinion he is a very com[licated character who i could spend a lot of time talking about. Kirei: Two things, One i do not apply morality to fictional characters. Two i like characters who want to see the world burn also Kirei is moe priest. Ryuu-Chan & Gilles De Raise: I like jolly serial killer characters i find them entertaining and i like watching them do their thing. 2. Your least favourite character and why. Saber. I could spend hours scanning over the most detailed character sheet in the history of character sheets and i would not find a single i find even remotely interesting about this character. I just don't have any good things to say about her not even one slightly good thing. 3. Favourite quote or line(s). "I'll tell you this Ryuunosuke God never punishes humans he merely toys with them" -Caster 4. Scene or moment that made you think. I nearly forgot to do this section ummm.... Any scene where a servant is forced to do something they are opposed to because of command seals. 5. Scene or moment that made you laugh. Waver and Iskandar arguing about pants. 6. Scene or moment that made you cry. I'm not really much of a crier when it comes to things in fiction i'mma have to get back to you. 7. Your favourite pairing (canon) No. 8. Your least favourite pairing (canon). I'm not really a ship hater i guess i do not care about any of them equally. *shrug* 9. Your favorite pairing (noncanon). *rolls out scroll that rolls down aisle and out the door and keeps going* In no particular order. Gilles Ryuu-Chan Joan, Lancer Blue Red riding Archer, Gil-Gil-Chan Dye a mule, Iskandar Video games, Kirei Kiritsugu, Tokiomi getting stabbed, Shinji Actual garbage. 10 Your least favorite pairing (noncanon). See answer eight. 11. A character you can relate to the most. Whoops i changed my mind prepare for incoming thoughts that were realized laying up in bed at night. I see so much of myself in Gilgamesh it is occasionally concerning. On the one hand i consider myself the greatest thing since sliced bread, on the other hand my critical flaw is feeling rejected when people i like in anyway hang out with people who are not me. I' also very quick to anger (even if i am less outwardly expressive of it then Gil is.) If i had the money for it i too would try to fill the black gaping hole where my soul is with every treasure to ever exist. And while the person who used to be my best friend is still alive the fact that we haven't really talked like we used to since we both reached high school age sort of feels the same to me. 12. A character you disliked at first but grew to like later. I thought Kirei was kinda boring at first, but you see what happened after that. 13. A character you liked at first but grew to dislike later. Kiritsugu keeps going around and back again with me so i can never nail down whether i like him or not. 14. Scene or moment that broke your heart. Kiritsugu killing the Melony family. T-T 15. Scene or moment that made you feel happy. Rin summoning red Riding Archer and the subsequent argument was pleasing. 16. Scene or moment that made you feel sad. Gil-Gil-Chan Vs Iskandar killed the Xeky. 17. A character you would fug. *spritzes with holy water* NO! 18. A character you would hug. Gilles for serious, Illya probably deserves it #Kerryisadeadbeatdad >_> <_< ;P Iskandar looks perfecto hugging size he is my dream hug and I would hug Gilgamesh and never let go if i was allowed to. 19. Your favourite scene or moment and why. The first hetaori and the scene preceding it. because Iskandar is cools and it was cools and iin the scene when he was drinking with say bear and Girugamech he said many things i agree with. 20. Unpopular opinion. Lol most of them..... Probably because from what i have seen so far i would not put a single female servant on my characters i am okay with list. And also the fact that in Zero at least i cannot see Gil as a villain, now don't get me wrong he is not a nice guy in fact he doesn't even make it to anti-hero in my book but there are a few things on Xekys check list of bad things that make you a villain that he simply does not hit. Gils not a good guy but i'd say he's more the most Chaotic Neutral of all time not really a villain. 21. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? Why? I guess i'd have Gilles and Ryuu-Chan last a bit longer and i would demote saber from main character status and have some different sabers more often, i'd increas the amount of Gilgamesh by %10 and get rid of his saber fixation because i am %1000 done with writers who think those kinds of plots are interesting. 22. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do). Waver for said dream Iskandar hug and so i could ride around in the chariot.

1. Saber, easily. Why? She's a female King Arthur, one of my childhood heroes, whose courage and honor is quite rightly legendary. I love her elegantly refined and regal yet still quite competent looking aesthetic and of course, Excalibur is the greatest of swords in legend, and in Fate, it is a magic railgun that is powered by the hopes and dreams of all other heroes throughout history. How is this not the greatest thing ever? To me, Saber truly embodies the heroic ideal, something that I hold strongly in my heart, so of course she holds a dear place in said heart as that ideal's most stalwart and enduring champion. (I may or may not also have fallen head over heels but that is another topic entirely... only I would fall for a female King Arthur, seriously, that says so much about me...) Truly Artoria Pendragon is the greatest of Servants, and a worthy face of the Fate franchise. <3 2. Ooo, close one here, stiff competition but in the end, Medea, you just get beaten out by all around golden smug obnoxious arrogant douchebag Gilgamesh. Few sights are as satisfying as Saber taking this guy down in the Fate route, and for good reason, because he's a complete and utter tool in every route, in defiance of the actual Epic of Gilgamesh. You just want to see the smug smacked off his smirking face every second he's onscreen, preferably with repeated smacks from a skillet or a thermonuclear airstrike or two. The complete lack of respect or morality he displays just utterly rubs me the wrong way... and let's not even get into what he did to Heracles and Illyasviel in Unlimited Blade Works, or manipulating Kirei Kotomine into giving into his own innate twisted nature... the guy is just a diiiiiick! ARGH! *FLIPS A TABLE* 3. "And now the undefeated king sings aloud the miracle she holds in her hands. Its name is...." "Ekusu.... KARIBAAAAAAA!!!!!" That entire bit between Irisviel and Saber~ <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 4. Banquet of Kings 5. ALL OF CARNIVAL PHANTASM! ALL OF IT! WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS! And All-Around Type Moon. 6. Death of Irisviel/Kerry and the Grail/Death of Shirley and the zombpocalypse island/Natalia go boom/ basically Kerry's life story really/ Lancelot reveal/ Saber on Camlann and Lancelot death speech/ Illyasviel and Heracles get Gilgamesh'd. Take your pick. *SOBS DISCONSOLATELY* 7. Saber and Shirou. Mostly because I think they're good for each other, really, helping each other out of their respective shells and past their respective issues without sacrificing their own inherent heroism. Kawaii desu ne~ (Runner up Kerry and Irisviel) Besides, I just want her to have someone, in a 'I want my beloved to be happy' sorta way. Sue me. ![]() 8. Who the fak thought it was a good idea for Prisma's Illya to have a crush on Shirou?!? 9. Prisma Leysritt/Sofa. A match made in heaven. *doge* 10. Saber/Gil fans, you... you do realize that he just treats her like property and wants to just violate her right? You're idealizing a really screwed up relationship here right? *turning green* 11. Both Saber and Shirou here. Really super selfless and honorable types who adhere strictly to a super honorable black and white moral code of conduct and try to bear the entire world on their shoulders no matter the cost to themselves personally, so long as those around them are happy and prosperous. And it annoying those around them that know about this tendency? Yeah, I can relate to that, easily. *doge* 12. Illyasviel von Einzbern. At first I just saw 'creepy little girl' but later I came to see the layers there and truly wept brokenly at her and Heracles' deaths in Unlimited Blade Works. (I now also have a sort of thing for creepy murderous little girls just for how well the archetype works, darnit what have you done to me Fate?!? DX) 13. Kotomine Kirei seemed reasonable at first, but later? NOT SO FAKKING MUCH. The most evil priest since the preacher ghost from Poltergiest, I swear... 14. Herc/Illya death. Shirley's fate. Room full of Einzbern homunculi. Worm rape. Saber at Camlann again crying out in despair. Take your pick. 15. Fate True End. "I'm back, Saber." MANLY TEARS OF JOY WERE SHED. ;-; 16. Herc/Illya deaths, Shirley death, Irisfeelz, Saber's tears on Camlann (noticing a pattern here?) 17. <_< >_> I DENY CATEGORICALLY THAT I HAVE A THING FOR THE KING OF KNIGHTS. <_< >_> *DIVES OUT OF THE WINDOW* 18. Illyasviel von Einzbern. ;-; 19. The Excalibur scene in Fate/Zero. It's just... so magical. The moment you really become aware of the true depth and majesty of King Arthur in this universe. What Artoria, and Excalibur, truly represent, and what they are bringing to bear against Gilles de Rais and his giant tentacle monster in the bay right now: the hopes and dreams of every single hero who has ever lived, is alive now, and will ever live, calling them to attention and demanding their loyalty. She truly is the King of Knights, the greatest of heroes. *MANLY TEARS* 20. Aside from a few characterization flubs (which are relatively minor and confined to only a handful of episodes in a 20 plus episode run), I find Deen's Fate route anime to be a completely serviceable adaptation and well worth a watch. Especially the OST, dear god the OST- I hope they get Kishi Ou No Hokori and its remix, Kodoku na Junrei, for the inevitable UFOtable Fate route remake. As well as Unmei no Yoru and Gunyuu Shissou... the OST was GORGEOUS! Also, its Saber summoning is superior to UFOtable UBW's. There I said it. The lighting, framing of the shots, Shirou's narration, and Kishi Ou No Hokori just MAKE the scene. <3 21. Illyasviel's fate in all three routes. ;-; 22. This may sound weird, but... I'd want to be a Knight at Camlann. I've always wanted to be a Knight, and to be a part of that last hope for utopia, even though it would fail, and to fight alongside King Arthur and the last faithful Knights of the Round Table at the end, well, would be more than I deserve. But I would consider it an honor to stand by their side. Camlann may be a lost cause, but the best causes, the ones worth fighting, always are.

1. I often joke about it a lot but I'm gonna have to settle on Iskandar. The interactions between him and Waver truly sold me on the idea of Fate, he really did feel like an ancient hero summoned into the modern age and his charismatic personality made it clear why his armies would continue to follow him even long after their deaths. Ionioi Hetairoi thus far has remained one of my favorite Noble Phantasms as it felt truly original and breathtaking. 2. I admit for not caring much for Kariya Matou. While his goals for saving Sakura were noble, ultimately I feel like his actions were driven more so by his desire for a family that was never his to begin with. And it's a character trait I can't really respect, especially after he lashes out at Aoi when she rejects him. 3."Whatever you do, enjoy it to the fullest. That is the secret of life." "Their bodies may return to ash, but their spirits still hear my call! These men are my legendary heroes – my loyal followers! They’re my true friends - breaking the rules of space and time to fight once more at my side!" —Rider 4. Saber and Kiritsugu's Ideology Clash 5. Rin summoning and meeting Archer gave me a laugh. Also pretty much every lighthearted Waver and Iskandar scene. 6. Iskandar's death. 7. Can't say I have a particular favorite. None of the official couples interacted enough for me to feel any particular draw towards one. Kiritsugu and Irisviel was mostly tragedy, I don't recall much of Tokiomi and Aoi and as for Shirou and Saber... We'll see haven't seen enough yet. 8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQpLNCRIxWA 9. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQpLNCRIxWA 10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQpLNCRIxWA 11. To a certain degree, I can kind of relate to Kiritsugu. I often wish I could try to make the world a better place but I'm a bit less idealistic about the means of doing so. And if I was to participate in a Holy Grail War I'd be fairly pragmatic myself... Honor, glory and all that jazz doesn't help me if I'm dead. >_> <_< 12. Kayneth at first struck me as one of those stuck up wizard types like Draco Malfoy that I despise. But seeing the poor guy get f***ed over by Kiritsugu and getting betrayed by his own wife was kinda heartbreaking. No one should have to go through that. 13. Kariya Matou for reasons stated in question 2. 14.Iskandar's Death. Illya and Berserker's death. 15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHFA7x_IogE 16. The scenes with Rin at the end of Fate/Zero. Her father dead, her mom crippled and being raised by the man who caused it all. Just... Feels bad man. 17. <_< >_> *Cough* TamamoAssassin of "Red"NataliaKaminskiMaiyaHisauLeysrittSella*Cough* What was the question again? 18. Brohug for Waver after Iskandar's death. Dude needs it. One for young Rin and Illya until Berserker kills me. 19. Ionioi Hetairoi! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuLwXV9exqY 20. I admit I like the idea of Fate more than the execution at times. >_> <_< Plz don't kill me. 21. Hmm... Maybe have Iskandar rough up Gilgamesh before he dies. 22.Waver and hang out with Broskandar all day. |
