#Where I get mad at 90% of the fandom bc I think they're being blind to the reality/more interesting parts of the character

Hey! AK EN translated the Arturia manga! I think some of these are the panels that spoke out to me

When she used her magic on her parents, esp the contrast between it. The first encounter with her mother even establishes that Arturia, with a somewhat childlike yet well-meaning understanding of the difficult situation her mother is in emotionally and decides that if her mother can do what makes her happy, that is what is most important, even if it lead to her death.

And for her father, it shows how it could look to an outsider someone who knows what her power is and fears what they would do if no longer held together by their inhibitions and society. It is obviously a terrifying thought and rejecting it is the logical(?) course of action.

Everything unfettered is not always kind and it is not always cruel. It breaks the social contract everyone agrees to follow in order to live but it is not something that I think is a purely evil action because we all know how the social contract can put the same people it exists to help into horrible binds.

Also Executor explains her motivations better then me:

she's like, an emotional hedonist whose somewhat childish beliefs would always lead to chaos bc society would never work if people just said what they felt and did what they liked but she's not pursuing this out of some malice for the world or a desire to see people succumb to chaos or pain, at least imo.

#arknights #idk if this made sense #Arturia is going to become like Ho'olheyak to me #Where I get mad at 90% of the fandom bc I think they're being blind to the reality/more interesting parts of the character #even while being aware that the game actively plays into the surface level interpretations that these people have to make money #why did I have to become obsessed with these girls? #agony and suffering #anyway I'm really excited for ZT and if I get Viviana instead of Virtousa I will cry myself to sleep bc I can't afford to miss Degenbrecher #and I am a f2p who doesn't prioritize limited banners most of the time
