[Fate/] there is absolutely nothing funnier to me than artoria insisting that she doesn't hate mordred
lily!
LIKE
lily!
BITCH REALLY
lily!
REALLY
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
honestly
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
i believe it
lily!
it's so fucking stupid that it crosses over from sad to funny
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
because i feel like hate would like
SILKY🌸
she doesn't though
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
if she hated mordred, at least mordred would matter.
SILKY🌸
at all
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
instead it's just a total indifference.
lily!
god, yeah, that's a fair point
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
and that would chafe at mordred even more, i think.
lily!
it's just like
lily!
and that is part of mordred's complex just the complete and total indifference and that is true
lily!
it's just, like
lily!
idk
lily!
something i keep coming back to whenever i think of this weird fucked relationship is that
lily!
goddess rhongomyniad
lily!
waifu mufasa herself
lily!
let certified crazy fucker reversal tristan into the holy city
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
like, a big thing about arturia is that, while she was alive... wasn't really capable of hate.
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
which is like.
lily!
but refused to let mordred in
lily!
oh yeah i believe that!
lily!
i'm talking exclusively like
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
in fate/ verse this directly led to the fall of camelot
lily!
post-aliveness artoria here
lily!
lmao
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
tristan: yo guys our king literally doesn't have emotions, what the FUCK
other knights: mmm yeah that's fucked, we're out
lancelot: so does this mean it's time to fuck my king's wife
lily!
yeah like
lily!
i probably should've clarified a bit more
lily!
specifically for like
lily!
servant artoria
lily!
...and specifically post /sn artoria since she apparently keeps her /sn memories in /go
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
artoria is... a special case
lily!
yeah
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
it's implied that she would have her f/z and f/sn memories in any summoning
lily!
because she wasn't properly recorded as a servant until after the fifth fuyuki war
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
because she was still, technically, alive
lily!
because that was technically part of her "life"
lily!
anyways, like
lily!
yeah alive artoria did not hate mordred
lily!
and i don't think servant artoria thinks she hates mordred either
lily!
but to me, i just, idk
lily!
there's a difference between "cold indifference no matter what" and "i am so indifferent that it is purposefully cruel whether i realize it or not"
lily!
idk?
lily!
i'm probably reading things wrong here since i don't have All The Information
lily!
but that's what i keep returning to based on what i have read
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
yeah i don't think she hates mordred but she's sure the fuck not doing them any favors by whatever the hell she IS doing
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
i don't think she feels hate, which... i think, again, is more damaging to mordred than hate would be,
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
exactly
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
and like
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
let's be perfectly fair here.
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
artoria has like... mordred's existence would be traumatizing if artoria was capable of processing emotions in any way that wasn't extreme repression.
lily!
yeah 100%! i agree there!
lily!
i'm not, like
lily!
articulating myself well
lily!
since i agree with 100% of these points but like
lily!
words on what i actually mean are
lily!
hard
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
valid
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
just, i do think arturia does genuinely not hate mordred, because hate requires more emotional capability than arturia has.
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
she doesn't even express hate towards fucking gilgamesh, just normal hostility of the 'one of us is gonna have to kill each other' variety
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
(joke answer: the greatest hostility she has displayed is to gawain and his mashed potatoes)
lily!
i feel like hate is, like, a bad word for what i'm trying to express here
lily!
not hate, but, like
lily!
if regret was angry but in a repressed way?
Princess Emily
...disappointment?
lily!
no that's not it either
Princess Emily
"I'm not angry. Just disappointed." -the daddest thing to say
lily!
not even disappointed when there-
lily!
gah it's hard to describe
lily!
there's a reason why i'm having a hard time getting across my point
Hazard Kitten
she's honestly really hostile to Mordred in the first summer event
lily!
yeah that's what provoked this chain of thought
Hazard Kitten
I think Artoria kind of sees Mordred as like a living reminder of her "weakness"
SILKY🌸
tbf mordred also spends the summer event being largely a. ragingly stupid and b. actively contrary to everything saber suggests so it's more "you're reflecting poorly on my knights as a whole"
SILKY🌸
she's a jerk to her but it's mostly for comedy
lily!
okay, yeah, that makes a lot more sense
lily!
this is why i said that i wasn't communicating effectively because i hadn't seen all of the context
lily!
gdi mordred why does everyone love you so much it would be so much easier to effectively dunk on you if it was easier to learn all your lore
SILKY🌸
she literally stole prydwen for her summer weapon as a fuck you dad she isn't out there helping her cause
Tonberry King
I do love all the art of the Lancer Arturias actually treating Mordred with respect, but like weird off handed respect

★ тяу-нαя∂уи
that's their goblin
Tonberry King
but it's truthfully just fandom wish fulfillment
lily!
honestly if lartoria is, like
lily!
only one or two steps from waifu mufasa
lily!
she would probably treat mordred with even more casual disinterest/scorn
Tonberry King
also echoing above sentiment about lore: wife and I really want to see an Arthurian legends adaptation starring the fate versions
