[Fate/] there is absolutely nothing funnier to me than artoria insisting that she doesn't hate mordred
pixie lovemail
LIKE
pixie lovemail
BITCH REALLY
pixie lovemail
REALLY
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
honestly
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
i believe it
pixie lovemail
it's so fucking stupid that it crosses over from sad to funny
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
because i feel like hate would like
karmic
she doesn't though
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
if she hated mordred, at least mordred would matter.
karmic
at all
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
instead it's just a total indifference.
pixie lovemail
god, yeah, that's a fair point
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
and that would chafe at mordred even more, i think.
pixie lovemail
it's just like
pixie lovemail
and that is part of mordred's complex just the complete and total indifference and that is true
pixie lovemail
it's just, like
pixie lovemail
idk
pixie lovemail
something i keep coming back to whenever i think of this weird fucked relationship is that
pixie lovemail
goddess rhongomyniad
pixie lovemail
waifu mufasa herself
pixie lovemail
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.
pixie lovemail
but refused to let mordred in
pixie lovemail
oh yeah i believe that!
pixie lovemail
i'm talking exclusively like
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
in fate/ verse this directly led to the fall of camelot
pixie lovemail
post-aliveness artoria here
pixie lovemail
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
pixie lovemail
yeah like
pixie lovemail
i probably should've clarified a bit more
pixie lovemail
specifically for like
pixie lovemail
servant artoria
pixie lovemail
...and specifically post /sn artoria since she apparently keeps her /sn memories in /go
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
artoria is... a special case
pixie lovemail
yeah
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
it's implied that she would have her f/z and f/sn memories in any summoning
pixie lovemail
because she wasn't properly recorded as a servant until after the fifth fuyuki war
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
because she was still, technically, alive
pixie lovemail
because that was technically part of her "life"
pixie lovemail
anyways, like
pixie lovemail
yeah alive artoria did not hate mordred
pixie lovemail
and i don't think servant artoria thinks she hates mordred either
pixie lovemail
but to me, i just, idk
pixie lovemail
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"
pixie lovemail
idk?
pixie lovemail
i'm probably reading things wrong here since i don't have All The Information
pixie lovemail
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.
pixie lovemail
yeah 100%! i agree there!
pixie lovemail
i'm not, like
pixie lovemail
articulating myself well
pixie lovemail
since i agree with 100% of these points but like
pixie lovemail
words on what i actually mean are
pixie lovemail
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)
pixie lovemail
i feel like hate is, like, a bad word for what i'm trying to express here
pixie lovemail
not hate, but, like
pixie lovemail
if regret was angry but in a repressed way?
Princess Emily
...disappointment?
pixie lovemail
no that's not it either
Princess Emily
"I'm not angry. Just disappointed." -the daddest thing to say
pixie lovemail
not even disappointed when there-
pixie lovemail
gah it's hard to describe
pixie lovemail
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
pixie lovemail
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"
karmic
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"
karmic
she's a jerk to her but it's mostly for comedy
pixie lovemail
okay, yeah, that makes a lot more sense
pixie lovemail
this is why i said that i wasn't communicating effectively because i hadn't seen all of the context
pixie lovemail
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
karmic
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
pixie lovemail
honestly if lartoria is, like
pixie lovemail
only one or two steps from waifu mufasa
pixie lovemail
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
