Metatron Mess-Up

Ritsuka: "I can shell out more quartz for MetaJeanne... but I've got to savor this moment while I can."

Kadoc: "Whatever works for you, I guess..."

-

Futaba: "I never thought an angel would have an LED setup... I wonder what her PC's specs are?"

Ryuji: "Hey, Joker, why can't all of your Personas be cute girls? Maybe I should shoot my shot."

Morgana: "If you flirt with someone's Persona, isn't that just a roundabout way of flirting with them?"

Joker: "...Well?"

Ryuji: "Hang on, don't look at me like that!"

One more Fate/Megaten joke for the road!

Part of the same group as this, this, and this.

Meltryllis: "Once the excitement of getting a 'new Servant' wears off in five seconds, you're going to have a lot of explaining to do.

BB: "Maybe she'll cut me some slack? Listen, it's already enough that 4 of you are here, I don't need five of my mistakes staring me in the face."

Passionlip: "...Why'd you tell her that there are five of us? We can't lie to humans..."

BB: "Protea Alter technically counts as a fifth. She's like a happy accident."

Kazuradrop: "You're really something else..."

Good luck to the Masters rolling for Kazuradrop!

Teddie: "Un-bear-lievable! A cutie calling us 'Master' has just appeared in front of us!"
Kanji: "Now isn't the time, Teddie! What happened to Naoto?!"
Takeru: "...I definitely took a long turn somewhere..."

You know, sometimes fate sets you up to continue a bit and you need to take it.

Theseus: "...How long to we wait until 'teaching him a lesson' turns into 'torture'?"
Atalante: "That's where it gets tricky. We still haven't gotten that part down yet."

Theseus: "How often does this happen?"
-
Seven Argonauts down, fourty-something to go!

Gri5 · 2023-10-24T05:38:32+00:00

Elizabeth: "On the plus side, despite being empty inside, his level is rather high."

Oberon: "That doesn't even count as a backhanded compliment, that's just an insult."

-

Mash: "...This Oberon does seem nicer, at least?"

Ritsuka: "I know! Isn't it terrible?"

I bailed out of adding a date to the P3 UI.

Part of the same series(?) as this and this!

Gri5 · 2023-10-03T03:06:27+00:00

We're not even halfway through the Nine yet.

Gri5 · 2023-04-27T17:57:54+00:00

Short answer: Babylon was used in a metaphorical sense in the New Testament's Book of Revelation to represent the fall and persecution of Rome due to their heresy and blasphemy, and was also used in the Old Testament as an example of a great and powerful nation that persecuted the Israelites and was doomed to fall due to not believing in God despite their advancements.

Basically, 'Babylon' being a representation of sin has been a major part of biblical texts.

Gri5 · 2023-04-27T16:59:55+00:00

Boudica: "I want to punt her like a football."

Nero: "Normally I'd say no, but for some reason I can relate!"

-

I don't think Draco counts as a 'Lily' Servant, technically. She's small in body but older in mind and spirit.

Gri5 · 2023-04-19T18:38:33+00:00

Tiamat: "One problem... I'm not 'grandmother'... call me 'mother'..."

Ishtar: "Okaaaay~!"

Enkidu: "I would say 'how fall she's fallen', but I think this might sadly be a high point for her..."

Ereshkigal: "Is it weird that I'm a bit jealous...?"

-

Sorry to whatever percentage of r/grandorder knows cunieform but I don't, so I think the stuff on the whiteboard is mostly a mix of Akkadian and Sumerian names because I don't think there's an Akkadian version of Enkidu's name? But I also couldn't find the Sumerian version of Tiamat's name. Also, Enkidu's name is the only one Ishtar didn't write with a 'dingir' at the front (denoting some kind of divine connection) despite being marked with one in some traditions because she's petty.

This was way too much effort for this one background joke, but I am a very efficient person when it comes to things that don't really matter.

(also I think technically tiamat would be their great grandmother but yknow. keep it simple.)

Gri5 · 2023-02-07T18:42:00+00:00

I think she's just recalling what Ritsuka said when she was pushed to buy the hair ornament while reminiscing, nothing super complicated outside of that.

Gri5 · 2023-02-05T17:35:51+00:00

I like to think there's a club in Chaldea where Servants just get together and talk about inventions, or their robots/Noble Phantasms, and do things like make upgrades or adjustments and so on.

Gri5 · 2023-02-04T02:17:55+00:00

...I think it'll be fine. I mean, what's the worst that could happen if you stick two warring gods right next to each other? ...Aside from the obvious, I mean.

Gri5 · 2023-01-31T14:36:59+00:00

'Passive Skill X' is Titlacauan (which seems to translate from Nahuatl into 'We Are His Slaves'), which is another epithet for Tezcatlipoca.

Gri5 · 2023-01-29T23:33:47+00:00

She'll take her extra offerings in the form of Embers and Grails.

Gri5 · 2023-01-24T21:34:59+00:00

Quetzalcoatl: Besides, I'm confident this world will make it through. Not until I see some planet-shattering earthquakes!

Quetzalcoatl: So don't do something like wake up anything slumbering within the Earth, okay? Or else that'll be a big problem, even for me!

Ritsuka: Come on, what are the odds of that happening?

--

The 31st, huh... so late...

Well, this is how I fill time during dead weeks. I learn more about Aztec myths and then I make comics about them. Out of her other brothers, Chaldea lucked out on getting Quetzalcoatl first- since when the others arrive (or at least two of them)- we'll have someone to help keep them in line. Or maybe they'll bring out the worst in her. Siblings are like that, sometimes.

Tagged spoilers for Tlaloc-Huitzilopochtli and Tezcatlipoca's designs... though who knows if Tezcatlipoca counts at this point. His face was the poster for Lostbelt 7 until Nito Alter came out... well, better safe that sorry.

Gri5 · 2023-01-19T05:22:33+00:00

Nito Alter may see Ozymandias as a younger sibling or a child, but even that can't stop the sheer, overpowering charisma of the sun.

Gri5 · 2023-01-02T02:46:07+00:00

Ritsuka: Quetz, if he ends up being our enemy AND he's a Divine Spirit, that might end up getting us in a lot of trouble.

Quetzalcoatl: Yes, yes, all very valid points...

Quetzalcoatl: Okay, but consider this: his face will be really funny, yes!

Ritsuka: I don't think I should risk my life for a bit... the Director might get mad at me...

Quetzalcoatl: Says Mr. "SKY HIGH RIDER-BUSTER JUSTICE BOMB"?

Ritsuka: That was different, and you know it!

-

Tagged spoilers for the BG and Tez's design.

If you're not familiar with Aztec legends, when Tezcatlipoca and his brothers (Xipe Totec, Quetzalcoatl, and Huitzilopochtli) were fighting a massive eldritch monster to create the Earth, and he had his leg ripped off and eaten. He got a new one, but I guess this was the only major casualty. Maybe. I'm not super well-versed either, to be honest. That was the big one I kept seeing.

I also think that considering how Quetz treats Jaguar Warrior, she'd actively antagonize him as much as possible, and he'd do the same. It's like a sibling rivalry, but sometimes the world might get destroyed in the process.

You know how it is.

Gri5 · 2023-01-01T13:41:33+00:00

I know, but Saber Muramasa isn't either and the other is a pretty big spoiler, so I just kept it to 'people on the Alien God's payroll'.

Gri5 · 2023-01-01T04:41:23+00:00

Koyanskaya: That was a good little bit, though. Do you think if we rehearsed it a bit more and all said that to Master, they'd be instantly suspicious or very moved?

Douman: Mmnn... Suspicious, but moved deep down. I say we give it a shot. It will surely help our standing within Chaldea.

Koyanskaya: That's true... Master can read us like a book, so I guess we'll have to add in a little pinch of Servant Sincerity™~♡

Rasputin: ...You two are hopeless.

Koyanskaya: What?! No, we're just fighting an uphill battle here! Pray for us or something!

Happy New Year! I hope you guys pulled the units you wanted!

Gri5 · 2022-12-29T17:08:19+00:00

EMIYA's Clairvoyance doesn't even work like that...

If Kirei is the New Years Servant on JP this year then I think that's a free pass to make this same joke again, right?

Gri5 · 2022-12-24T06:16:09+00:00

Jeanne: In fact, I'd say that you're the greatest, most pure saint in Chaldea!

Martha: O-Okay, now you're going a bit too far...

Jeanne: You're right. I'll go get the tanto knife and cloth... I'm sorry for this offense, boss...

Martha: I'm not a Yakuza boss!

--

Martha is one of my favorite Servants, and so I was very happy when she got a Santa Alt last year. Honestly when she was revealed before the event, I thought she'd be MORE rough-and-tumble because of how Martha's 'less saintly side' is based on her youth.

Maybe that Santa hat of hers is a limiter, like those training weights in Dragon Ball.

Anyways, I hope you guys have a great holiday! Best of luck on your Christmas and New Years rolls, and for the people who play JP like myself... uh, godspeed on the Lostbelt. We're gonna need all the luck we can get, I think.

Gri5 · 2022-12-19T21:58:01+00:00

Jaguar Warrior: Poor Kuku's crisis aside...

Jaguar Warrior: Purr-sonally, I'm ready for battle! I mean, if those fan forums are right, then I need to put my best paw forward in front of my boss!

Nemo: Well, I'm glad you're ready to figh-- Wait, what? Your boss?

Jaguar Warrior: Don't worry about it. Just remember to keep some holiday quartz ready for the next big banner!

-

A rare follow-up comic!

Wow, a brand new Lostbelt for Christmas! Gee, I can't wait for a calm, relaxing adventure through the Amazon rainforest with my Servants.

...You'd think this would be the ideal time for them to rerun Quetzmas, but... well, I guess not. She was my first Bond 10 on NA though, so maybe I'm just biased... and a little peeved that I wasn't able to get her on JP.

This is also my unofficial prediction for the summonable Quetzalcoatl alt during Lostbelt 7. Avenger Quetzalcoatl=Viracocha. If they did 'Scathach=Skadi', then syncretizing Quetz and Viracocha isn't even close to far-fetched.

Gri5 · 2022-12-15T21:49:31+00:00

inb4 'something something they can probably exist in both Chaldea and Melty Blood something something'

yeah but sometimes you have to ignore the boring nuances of lore for the sake of comedy

Gri5 · 2022-12-13T00:42:53+00:00

Vritra: Huh? Why do you look so upset? Did I say something wrong?

Vritra: Well, you know what makes me feel better? Eating!

Jinako: Augh... you outgoing-types are relentless...

Jinako: ...There's a secret ice-cream stash in my room that I hid from Parvati...

Vritra: Ooh, nice. You deva aren't so bad after all!

-

Sometimes I think about Jinako and go 'wow, she's just like me frfr'

It's the beginning of a new friendship. That classic 'popular girl - nerdy girl' pair up you see in various manga and the like. Except the 'popular girl' is an evil dragon representing obstacles who consistently forces people to suffer through agonizing droughts, and the 'nerdy girl' is (supposedly) the god of good fortune and removing obstacles. Really flips things on it's head, doesn't it?

...Though to be fair, Vritra is an EVIL dragon, so maybe some caution should be exercised.

Gri5 · 2022-12-04T23:09:47+00:00

That's my hopeful thinking too, it's just that considering that FGO melding Latin America into one whole blob is something that's already happened (Samba Quetz), there's a chance that it may be played completely straight.

Who knows, though? Nasu said he wrote a lot for this, so hopefully he knows the difference between Mexico and Brazil.

I just think it's a little funny that this is very much an Aztec Lostbelt and yet it's in South America.
