Lesbian Manowar
[F/Go] I only had Mata Hari left against a Brynhildr and she somehow used her NP to seduce/charm Bryn on the turn she'd use her NP so Mata Hari was able to kill her using pure lesbianism
Lesbian Manowar
this is absolutely the fucking funniest fight i've ever seen in my life
Lesbian Manowar
5 star lancer loses it to 1 star assassin
Rogal Dorn
lolololol
Rogal Dorn
What the fuck fight was this
Rogal Dorn
lesbian powas
Lesbian Manowar
the one to power up atilla's NP, interlude 2 for her i think
Lesbian Manowar
and i just was like "welp im gonna lose, no way out of this, im going to try an oh of course she did it why did i doubt her"
Rogal Dorn
did you roll musashi?
Rogal Dorn
I feel like if you didn't manage to roll her the universe is fucking wrog
Rogal Dorn
big tiddy bi big sister sounds like your kinda thing lol.
Lesbian Manowar
yeah i got her
Rogal Dorn
all right we're not in a dark timeline then
Lesbian Manowar
her and i been flirting, she wants to bang my raikou
Rogal Dorn
lol she's vaguely mad that a bunch of the people she expected to be dudes are ladies now
Rogal Dorn
she wants her bishonens.
Rogal Dorn
She reacts like that to ushi
Lesbian Manowar
this is how she reacts to raikou
Lesbian Manowar
also nero
Lesbian Manowar
5 minutes later she was seen texting raikou this
Rogal Dorn
I legitimately love her she's just fun
Rogal Dorn
I mean she's a pretty BUSTer heavy servant herself
Lesbian Manowar
i actually really really want to do some serious heavy musashi talk now because book of five rings is required coursework for me, and a required re-read constantly and i know EXACTLY what that trial quest was talking about and it's put me in a sword mood for like
Lesbian Manowar
the philosophical side of it
Lesbian Manowar
but i dunno how many people would be interested but i am having like eighty thousand thoughts on it
Rogal Dorn
please do, I only know practical swordfighty stuff so I want the philosophy you get to engage with
Lesbian Manowar
the Void stuff is by far the shortest/simplest chapter in book of five rings, ranging all of like, half a page long, but it's Hard to get unless you are like, me or musashi and just find it the most fascinating thing in your life is why you sword
Rogal Dorn
even if you just PM me about it I want all the meta thoughts on it a lot. It's like when thessaly is holding forth on merlin/artoria or beast meta.
Lesbian Manowar
but it's got so many good points i can distill from it alone
Rogal Dorn
by all means
Lesbian Manowar
let alone the rest of it since half of the book uses "you must train harder" as punctuation and i can hear musashi from beyond the grave yelling it daily now
Lesbian Manowar
the concept of Void and what the villain of the interlude went on about infinity as he died was both fascinating and frustrating because the guy really did Not Get It and it made me one of those people who's like
Lesbian Manowar
everyone else with a degree in something: u dun a science wrong here's why
Lesbian Manowar
me: i'm gonna beat your ass with an oar so hard sasaki kojiro's descendants will feel it
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
that's not her line about raikou, that's her line about the doujis
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
raikou she mostly just comments on her bust size, and more in a "that's wild" way and not horny way
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
she's WAY WAY more openly flirtatious with Danzo, the robo kunoichi that gets introduced in Shimosa
Lesbian Manowar
oh koshka's daughter
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
her thing about pretty boys is a nod to the many many many rumors that the RL musashi practiced pedastry, but like... that was extremely common among samurai in the edo period so it's less rumor and more like, educated assumption
Rogal Dorn
I can't wait for shimosa in general
Lesbian Manowar
i'll have to warn her then
Rogal Dorn
apparently the last fight is with fucking sasaki?
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
as it should be
Lesbian Manowar
yeah one of the kami i follow used to be seen as the kami of such practices but that's kind of Not Common Knowledge now for a reason
Rogal Dorn
Which if they build him up to be a real threat is AWESOME.
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
the kojiro in shimosa is not the playable version, he's got boss buffs and everything
Rogal Dorn
since he's kind of a joke of a servant in the FGO meta and wasn't even that strong in fate/canon to begin with
Rogal Dorn
rad
Rogal Dorn
still love him as the hero of Orleans and his dumb ship with martha 5 ever though
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
BUT YEAH, like the RL musashi, fate musashi is a disaster bi with preference to femme presentation
Lesbian Manowar
and yeah that's the one part that gets people Mad At Me most when i talk this history is like "samurai and to an extent onna-bugeisha were gay as hell and pederasty sometimes was involved, like rome" and everyone Loses It like HOW DARE YOU SAY SAMURAI WERE GAY ATMA
Rogal Dorn
lmao really?
Rogal Dorn
history is always more gay than folks realize
Lesbian Manowar
dudebros dont like their dreams shattered
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
how is "gay" the most offensive thing about pedastry
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
and not, like. the creepy aspect of older dudes sleeping with teenage boys
Rogal Dorn
yeah there's creepy power imbalance shit there
Lesbian Manowar
yeah ive talked about how just the whole culture had a lot of just plain ol' gay going on too between adults and it's like ATMAAAA I HATE YOU
Lesbian Manowar
it's funny to watch
Rogal Dorn
man I'd be like
Rogal Dorn
"Whoa exciting more gayness "
Lesbian Manowar
hell just mentioning how many women were at sekigahara sets them off hard
Lesbian Manowar
it's me i'm ruining history with facts and stuff watch out
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
lmao the majority of tokugawa's mounted archers were women
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
there was a LOT of sexism in the sengoku and edo periods, sure, but it didn't take the form a lot of historical revisionists assume
Lesbian Manowar
i think that's my favorite part of history is just telling people how many women were out there fighting
Lesbian Manowar
the history of the onna-bugeisha and such is incredible
Rogal Dorn
I honestly don't get why dudes aren't like "Whoa cool."
Lesbian Manowar
because it's manly man job only for men
Lesbian Manowar
swords and arrows don't tend to discriminate
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
yeah these are the same sort of people that get mad over a woman on the cover of a battlefield game
Rogal Dorn
I mean admittedly I like fate because Girls With Swords is a thing I like
Lesbian Manowar
that one still makes me lol
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
in general, women could serve in militaries in the sengoku period (and prior) the sexism usually came in terms of how they were regarded in the class system
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
a male samurai will earn more rice than a female one, etc etc
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
and in terms of training, women often were segregated to their own dojos and traditions
Lesbian Manowar
yeah that one's been an....interesting one for sensei and i to come up with our own reasons why i can do what the boys do anytime and trying to tell the Old Guard senseis why
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
btw tomoe gozen finally shows up in shimosa
Lesbian Manowar
half of it is "it's the 21st century, time to get over it" and the other half is "that's my best swordsman, you really gonna tell her to sit seiza knees together?"
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
as the Archer of Inferno, since the shimosa story is all hell themed and all (and that's why she's partially devil in fate, too)
Lesbian Manowar
from a historical sense a lot of my habits and training would be seen as unfathomable at worst, odd at best
Lesbian Manowar
good because I Need Her
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
though, like... of all the skills she was famous for, archery was really not the first i would have picked, but game balance and all i guess
Lesbian Manowar
im waiting for the nobu rerun whenever that is and using her until i can nab gozen and then whenever we get fukkin dead heat race, get metal nobu so i can have everything i ever wanted on one team at once
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
she doesn't even hold her bow until her third stage portrait
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
it's her sword in the first, and her sword and naginata in the second, and she uses those in her sprites, too
Lesbian Manowar
tho now that i have musashi i have nobody planned on rolling for for a long time
Lesbian Manowar
i have enough gold women it's going to take so many exp nuggets to feed them all
Lesbian Manowar
maybe by then i can afford to have her and level her
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
.... apparently there's a psuedo love triangle between tomoe gozen, danzo, and musashi, with both of them flirting with danzo
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
this poor robot
Lesbian Manowar
im DEFINITELY gonna have to warn koshka since that's her robo daughter
Lesbian Manowar
(she loves anyone like, robo or android or automaton or cyborg themed)
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
though some people have Bad Takes about her and call her a NTR servant because they don't seem to understand that in fate, she's taken after his death (and it's just a gross thing to say about anyone, fictional or otherwise, anyways)
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
(and she gets deeply uncomfortable around ushiwakamaru for obvious reasons)
Lesbian Manowar
those people can get put in a ditch
Lesbian Manowar
also it's fate/ like, chill
Lesbian Manowar
after all i thought this was the game
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
she also tells (politely) all the summer servants to please cover up, going on about "moderation"
Lesbian Manowar
all i know is she called me cute and likes udon and swords, i think her and i will get along just fine
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
also, they should add the rest of musashi's famous rivals to the game so the can all get drunk together
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
Gonnosuke and Baiken are missing still
Rogal Dorn
she mentions baiken I'm fairly certain
Lesbian Manowar
i am not cleaning up that mess after, they can do it themselves
Lesbian Manowar
yeah she did
Rogal Dorn
but yeah I was lowkey excite about her but didn't want to break the bank til shimosa
Rogal Dorn
ended up getting her with a couple tickets an am now really on the musashi train
Lesbian Manowar
im a poor and had to farm literally every free quest possible for one last chance at a ten roll and it happened
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
Baiken is basically where we get the trope of Musashi getting jumped in weird places
Lesbian Manowar
im seriously out of stuff to do besides daily quests now
Lesbian Manowar
and well just keep my girls healthy for when 1.5 comes along
Rogal Dorn
Yeah I hear 1.5 gets real hard
Lesbian Manowar
ive been on the JP server off and on, mostly to goof around with my friend' metal nobus, and that shit is Real
Lesbian Manowar
and i have some serious star players despite a much smaller roster, it's still far too soon for me to go near most events
Lesbian Manowar
"you only need to clear fuyuki for this" a foreigner with 5 HP bars shows up on map 3
Lesbian Manowar
and some of it is like "you need to clear lostbelt 3" THAT CAME OUT LIKE WHAT A MONTH AGO?
Lesbian Manowar
i did get a cute new year's outfit with hella good buffs tho
Rogal Dorn
wait where's that from
Rogal Dorn
oh that's in japanland
Lesbian Manowar
JP server new year's
Lesbian Manowar
they have us 19 golden apples, 19 of each fou card, and 30 quartz, and this outfit
Lesbian Manowar
their da vinci new year's shop is also like WAY better, i got 10 tickets for 5 prisms each and thats not counting the monthly reset stock
Lesbian Manowar
tho there's nothing i'd roll for today if you paid me, i do NOT want cleopatra or fionn ever, thank you
Lesbian Manowar
this is one of those exp buffing only cards but im keeping it forever too
Lesbian Manowar
gods only two more rider statues to go and i can ascend quetz a second time and then quit, ive been playing this thing since i woke up 13 hours ago just to grind quartz for musashi
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
it's ironic we were talking about musashi and the new saber they added for new year in JP has already usurped her place as the strongest saber
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
(though some argue musashi's more well rounded, still)
Lesbian Manowar
the cute birb?
Lesbian Manowar
i see half of everyone i know either going for musashi or the sparrow based on which server they main on
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
she is wild
Lesbian Manowar
wow a servant that's actually shorter than i am
Lesbian Manowar
unless they're like a literal 5 year old or something it's hard to find any servant smaller than 5 foot nothing
TᴏᴡɴIɴsɪᴅᴇMᴇ🐻
just look at her kit, and the damage her NP does
Lesbian Manowar
her sord too big for her got dang self
Rogal Dorn
not sure if stronger but she's definitely got a different niche and good support
Rogal Dorn
musashi is way more selfish in her skills lol
Walker
Her artist is Harada, the guy who designs Disgaea characters
Lesbian Manowar
yeah it's a very distinct style
Lesbian Manowar
she's a very adorable lil birb tho
Lesbian Manowar
i was gonna use my cheap as hell JP server tickets to try to roll for her last night but fionn was on the same banner and that is not a risk i wanted to take
Walker
I threw my Fionn into the Spirit Achive. It's his new home.
Walker
He can visit Chaldea when there's a Rank Up, I guess.
Lesbian Manowar
i would burn mine for rare prisms
Lesbian Manowar
thankfully he's never shown up around me
Lesbian Manowar
probably because he knows i know how to flirt right
Lesbian Manowar
gonna steal his ladies he never gets
Lesbian Manowar
oh good the new year's banner for birb is now birb and tamamo, that's much more tolerable
Lesbian Manowar
there's also a banner specifically for koshka's least favorite servant of all time so i'm gonna post it and dedicate it to her because of course i am
Lesbian Manowar
i'm a very good gf i swear
Lesbian Manowar
ask koshka how she feels about sigurd and his design and his everything in general sometime
