While it sucked seeing a decently popular creator plagiarise my work and go on to gain significantly more money and notoriety than me at least it means no one thinks the SU Critical trend was my fault, honestly probably the wackiest way a person could ever be bailed out of a situation. Who could possibly give a shit about my misinformed and underdeveloped opinions about everything except fight scenes when we have an absolute legend here saying LAPIS was the abuser and calling Rebecca Sugar a pervert for... *checks notes* having a nonbinary character. A full two hours of the most batshit opinions you've ever heard sandwiched between stolen blocks of text and veiled shipping discourse. Just completely overwrote whatever impact I would have had. I made out like a bandit. Absolutely no way the SU Critical shitshow can be blamed on me now. God works in mysterious ways

This moment was beautiful. I knew what they were going to do as soon as the water turned to poison.
Viet Nam was colonized on-and-off by China for around 1,000 years. During that time, the story of Hai Bà Trưng was one of the few stories of heroism that survived to the modern time. At the end of their rebellion, they committed suicide by jumping into a river rather than be captured (Chinese records said they were captured and beheaded, but I chose to believe the Viet records).
While the story of this event wasn’t perfect, I appreciate a story revolving around Viet heroes.
What’s more, the story turns their deaths into an heroic act. As opposed to two desperate women committing suicide, this time, they sacrificed themselves to save countless people.
It’s an ongoing theme in FGO that being summoned gives heroes a chance to be more than their legends. Hai Bà Trưng’s legend is ultimately a tragedy. Thăc said it herself that she doesn’t feel like a hero because they ultimately failed to make a lasting change. Viet Nam continued to be colonized long after their deaths.
Even so, their rebellion gave the Viet people a sense of pride that we did stand up against our oppressors. To this day, there are streets, schools, hospitals, etc. named after Hai Bà Thưng.
The event story calls them “new” gods, but they died in 42 AD so their legend is around as old as Jesus. They are very old heroes, though not as old as Dagon, which is the point. Hai Bà Thưng stood in the middle between the far ancient past (Gilgamesh’s era) and the modern era (Tesla’s era and after). They are old enough to feel disconnected from what modern Viet Nam is now, which is why Thǎc feels like she didn’t have much effect on history, yet they are not so old that they feel forgotten and twisted. There’s a big street in Saigon named after them, so they are very much still remembered, unlike Dagon who feels bitter at being forgotten.
I had my doubts when this event seems to start out as a comedy, but I like how it pulled together, leading to that beautiful scene pictured above.
