Aka Two things I am not. NO SAMURAI REMNANT SPOILERS PLEASE. 25, Aro-Bi, any pronouns. Abuse Survivor. T1-Diabetic. Jewish - Anti Zionist - Free Palestine. High-Functioning with Mild Dyspraxia so I apologize in advance for my garbage spelling and frequent edits/removal of word choice, (Why do I want to be a writer again!?) I rant a lot about FGO but it’s because i love what it COULD be, damnit…and cause i have an addiction obviously.
Honestly, I respect your opinion on Tezcatlipoca, but I can’t help but feel that killing him off before your rewrite of Lostbelt 7 even begins is just petty.
But ignoring that because it’s ultimately your decision, Daybit will lack a purpose without ORT (assuming he has a purpose that relates to his mission) and will have no servant. Not that he needs a servant per-se, since he can handle himself well enough, but he does lose out on someone to talk to. Every other Crypter had someone to interact with, so it would be a loss to not give Daybit someone to interact with in absence of Tezcatlipoca.
Well, if nothing else, the only thing pettier than killing off Tezcatlipoca before the Lostbelt begins is having the reason for his death be the bad meat he ate in India.
Dont worry the pettiness is very much the point lol. I actually didn't plan for him to die because I wanted to try and use as many of the same servants as I could, since the point is to make a better version of the existing story. The way things lined up though it ended up making the most sense for Tez to not appear at all, and at that point I know how I'm already seen well enough to embrace the pettiness.
So that said while a funny coincidence it actually is just how the cards ended up falling, and that's shown in the whole reason he's already dead as well as the consequences of his self-sacrifice having actual narrative weight (TLDR it both was the reason the lostbelt didn't collapse in on itself, but also something that IMMENSELY backfired in a way no one expected)
As for Daybit....what makes you think I didn't give him a different servant? Someone much more fitting Grand Berserker at that (hint: ask @agnerd-bot who their Grail War Berserker is).
Same goes for his purpose! ORT being there doesnt mean he's meaningless, it just means he has a different meaning. I will definitely say that Daybit has been the one consistent thorn in my side in trying to rewrite Lb7, but that's cause there's a lot of stuff that isn't easy to work with, not because there's nothing to work with at all.
For all my complaints about the official lostbelt, I am grateful if nothing else for it inspiring me through sheer spite to make this rewrite because it's some of the most fun i've ever had as a writer.
Hey everyone, please consider buying the 2024 itch.io Palestinian Relief Bundle- it's 373 games, game-making assets, tabletop roleplaying games, zines, and comics for a minimum of just 8 USD! They have a goal of 100,000 USD, and as of the time I'm writing this post, they have 8 more days to reach it.
What's your favorite comic that you've done? Mine is your adaptation of the conversation between Arjuna and Kama at the end of Santa Karna's Christmas event!
this is actually a really hard question for me to answer because im pretty fond of several of my comics for multiple reasons
i ALSO do like my kama/arjuna convo one since its one of my most high effort ones i've ever done and it capped off a 2 week period of high insanity from me, plus i loved handling their dynamic...
on that note i also like the one where arjuna snitches to krishna abt kama. it was a spoof of another comic i saw and i really liked how it came out
but im also very fond of this vritra/gudako one. i think a lot of that is bc im proud of how the tail petting came out tbh TAT
camazotz altermaker was another one i thought was pretty fun
also NO WEED IN MY CHRISTIAN OOKU is one that has held up even when it got older just art wise and i found it funny as well
as a general rule of thumb i like most of my arjuna comics but some of my favs are the one where rama and parvati try to shake their spouses out of arjuna alter, the one where arjuna gets turned into a baby, moriarty and arjuna alter's class on morality
it really is hard bc theres like 5 others i want to put here but the ask would get way too long. some of the very old ones like twitch plays yugakhestra or gudako rolling arjuna and karna im fond of conceptually but the art has aged to the point i dont really care for how they look anymore, but overall i love a lot of my work
Did they ever officially say why Artoria Lily has roughly 3-star stats? Or if it had anything to do with her being a welfare unit? Asking for research
I have zero hard evidence of anything but there could be like 7 different reasons most of which circle back around to her being a year-1 welfare. General powercreep, servant stats have always had a certain degree of variance particular with non-exclusive servants, Welfare servants have always been extremely underpowered statwise, the fact she's very intentionally just a worse freebie version of Artoria classic, etc.
I wasnt even stuck in this hell before year 3 tho, so I can only speculate. It's still stupid she's in the friend pool but no other welfare is including the three that came before her.
