ordeal call 2 is all about dantes and jalter and how much the avengers love guda etc etc BUT it also brought up a little more limbo parallels to guda
guda despite all their rage and hatred and genuine vengeance... just does not have it in them to be an avenger class servant. even when presented with the perfect opportunity to do so they simply do not have the type of rage that burns forever. they're incapable of being anything other than an ally of humanity.
an utter inability to change who they inherently are, much like limbo, who also burns with every type of hatred against humans there can be and yet does not hold any ill will towards humanity, so even though they failed to become a Beast due to not holding any sort of 'love' for humanity, they also do not hold any sort of 'hate' for it as well that would allow them to become a curse against humanity.
no ever burning grudge but also no everlasting love, the weakling last master of humanity and the most pathetic and monstrous human being are one and the same, incapable of being anyone or anything more but themselves

So, at this point, we all know what's up with Guda's hands now, right? It's sort of an open secret - no other characters have pointed it out, and Guda themselves sure as hell is never going to acknowledge it, but if you pay attention you can piece together the fact that their hands have started to necrotize from excess magical energy expenditure. You can see that the backs of their palms in the Decisive Battle Mystic Code are dark, remember what happened to Baobhan Sith after she used the Garden of Lost Will, etc.
What really gets me about this is that Guda is a kind person, and symbolically when you think of kindness you picture hands - the way they reach out to help others, a kind and comforting hand.
And now those same hands are turning dark and cold like a corpse's.

No less than four different people messaged me about Guda having no gag reflex so I must inform everyone that in lb7 Guda eats a cucumber and it is specifically mentionned that they eat it in one go without chewing.

I mean I guess you can interpret it differently but personally I don't really know how to read this aside from "throat goat Guda real"

Guda: a medieval self-portrait
Tumblr media
Self-portrait of Guda, homilary, Frankfurt, second half of 12th century.
"The first category of figures we have considered shows the artist present in the work or in the process of creating it. To that category, we add a second type of portrait or self-portrait, in which the artist beseeches a favorable judgment for him-/herself after the work is completed.
Such is the case with the famous signed self-portrait of Guda, who represents herself within a collection of homilies in an initial D[ominus] for the octave of the Pentecost. The inscription reads: “guda peccatrix mulier scripsit q[ue] pinxit h[un]c librum (Guda, a sinful woman, wrote and painted this book).” Of the seven initials in the manuscript, this D is one of only two that contain figures. The other historiated initial comes at folio 196, the opening of the Assumptio Mariae, and contains a portrait of the virgin identified as Maria Virgo. The other five initials display dragons, interlaces, ribbons, or spirals.
Guda represented herself firmly grasping the initial with her left hand and raising her right in a gesture of salutation and expectation. I would argue that Guda carefully and consciously chose to be here. The initial opens the ninth homily of St. John chrysostom, the Sermo beati iohannes episcopi de david ubi goliad immanem hostem devicit (Sermon of the blessed Bishop John, on when David overcame the monstrous enemy Goliath), which explains the election of David. The homily also offers an occasion to meditate on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and its role in comforting the soul. In short, Guda has chosen the perfect spot in which to await the Second Coming of Christ, and this is why she represents herself as a sinner, whose activity as an artist should count in her favor at the end of time.
Guda’s self-representation in this way is analogous to the scene the scribe Swicher has staged (for the reader?) in the frontispiece of his copy of isidore of Seville’s Etymologies. Swicher’s author portrait is most original. In the upper register, Isidore of Seville is depicted in conversation with Bishop Braulio of Zaragoza, the patron of the Etymologies. In the lower register, Christ in propria persona presides at the scribe’s last judgment. Two angels busy themselves at a balance in which is weighed the very manuscript Swicher copied. The work of the scribe counts as a work of virtue: a third angel takes Swicher’s soul away through a thick cloud, whereas the devil turns around empty-handed. The Titulus attests to this: "O god, deign to have mercy on this wretched scribe. Do not consider the weight of my faults. Small though the good things may be, let them be exalted over the bad. Let night give way to light; let death itself give ground to life.”
Guda and Swicher make use of the same patterns of visibility and those patterns are not gender-specific. In both cases, the artists stage their humility and represent their belief that they might reach the heavenly kingdom through the artistic work they have done."
Mariaux Pierre Alain, "Women in the making: early medieval Signatures and artists’ portraits (9th–12th c.)", in: Reassessing the Roles of Women as 'makers' of Medieval Art and Architecture

Maybe it’s just me but the fact that Fujimaru’s name when broken down becomes 藤 wisteria and 丸 meaning round/full just... Wisteria is a flower that represents undying devotion or love that transcends time in certain cultures and a circle can be equated to a symbol of infinity... it scratches my brain just right

SITTING HERE GRIPPING TH TABLE CLENCHING MY TEETH TRYING TO BREATHE AND FAILING THIS WAS SO SICK OF THEM TO KILL ME LIKE they did it TWICE in OC chapter 2 where the flame of his cigarette is lit and YOU KNOW YOU KNOW YOU KNOW IT WAS GUDA WHO LIT THAT FLAME (idk if guda did that actually in the part where it was a voiced line in the end by nobu but my extreme delusion tells me its fujimaru ritsuka bc why not light his cigarette one last time?). but especially where guda who came for the avengers just as the king of the cavern came for them during temple of time. then gakutsuou told them theyve grown and that was the same case as now as they face cagliostro like theyve been through so much together ohh im in tears im just sobbing please help me please please save me and it was also none other than a call back to the final singularity where he helped his accomplice, came for his accomplice and supported them and he did it again in shimousa and the lostbelts with aphrodite and in lostbelt 2 and even events like the summer camp and you can also see in some interludes and rank ups that he's helping with guda's trash heap by burning these residues that cling to them, that weigh them down even as they overcame them years ago i feel sick he lives in guda's shadow and in their mind protecting them almost everywhere they go and in this story that is about to end, i will light your cigarette one last time.
i ask that you lend me your flame just as you have borrowed mine. this is a goodbye. just as we met in that apartment, just as we met in that prison, this place is where we say goodbye. but this is for now. simply for now. it's been a long... long journey for us, ritsuka. but for now, this will be the last time i- no, we will push your back so you could reach that destination. all the stars under the heavens are watching. know that there is light wherever you go. so wait... and hope, my accomplice.

people think that gudas ability to befriend servants is some kind of special trait tied to high master compatibility, but that simply isnt true. all of chaldea is willing to live and die by gudas choices because one week they'll call up the single most powerful collection of historical magical warriors on the face of the planet and go "listen guys i need all of you to help me with a misinformation campaign for the coolest heist ever" and then the next week go "alright guys i now need all of you to come with me to the largest hobby shopping center of the world"

guda's use of magic is the most puzzling thing to mages. because they aren't a mage. they're a spellcaster like kiritsugu. they don't live the mage lifestyle. magic is a tool. the unorthodox style was how shirou was taught, and how archer taught guda.
kadoc goes through a training simulation with guda. they get into a cornered by a demonic boar that guda lures away by tossing a bright gem that explodes upon impact. kadoc questions them because that was gem magic? "what do you mean a goddess gave you enchanted jewels? ...did you say she was in love with you?"
guda comes barreling into the common room, chasing after a blue and gold cat-thing. guda shouts in victory when they corner it and get their hands under its front arms. the front half of cat gets into guda's clutch but the legs stay on the ground - the middle of its body extending as if turned into a doughlike property. daybit puts his eyes back to his book, yes, that's normal.
runes. guda’s handiwork is still small but quick and offensively pack quite a punch. they are able to create so many by the time ophelia gawks at them because "you're supposed to meditate on the meanings behind the symbols!"
after a party, wodime offers to help guda clean up the kitchen. while they both get to work, guda starts singing something to his complete confusion and astonishment. "supercali...what? junior, what kind of spell was that?"
