Honestly Dantes Speech To Guda About How They Could Be Humanitys Last And Greatest Avenger Class Servant

its been officially one year since i rolled enkidu!!!

"you read a lot, right?"

"yes!"

"what are some books you've read recently?"

"uhh i don't remember"

ughhhh an Avenger class is a class of their own where not many humans- barely anyone would be able to handle them as they are impossible and incompatible with pan human history and so are one of the hardest to handle. to even be able to summon an Extra class outside of the seven accepted seats is a feat on its own but to form a bond and a strong one at that is a different thing entirely. to gain comforting words from Avengers that eternally burn with vengeance and hatred, to gain companionship and trust from Avengers mercilessly crushed and betrayed by the world, deemed as threats for their retaliation, hunted down as beasts and chased out of their homes with their loved ones killed, those who have also died alone, suffering from such a painful betrayal even when they themselves were faithfull all the way to the end. to gain an Avenger's love and loyalty, weapons that howl and cry and knows unfathomable pain and sorrow, a Class that never forgets, grudges and hatred in which are ingrained into their very existence yet love and compassion is what allows them to persist and keep on burning. as summoning such flames means you yourself are far more removed from "humanity" than anyone else.

Hello! Can you come up with headcanons for Kingu (evil clay child from the Babylonia singularity (if you got there or watched the anime)) being summoned to Chaldea (so that's an au?) and developing a bond with master that eventually grows from caution to platonic (or even romantic) feelings? There's no content on Kingu, he definitely needs more love ~

I put half of it under a line because it gets long aff

Kingu Summoned to Chaldea

For a moment Kingu is probably confused as fuck and hyper-panicking and ready to stab a bitch (instinctively, Ishtar). 

He was created the Son of Tiamat during a Singularity, using Enkidu’s corpse. Were “Kingu” EVER summoned as a Servant, HE certainly wouldn't be the one summoned. In this HC, Kingu thinks he, Kingu from Babylonia Singularity, doesn’t exist as a Servant.

Jalter: first time, bitchface?

Then VOILA, he gets summoned by the shitty little human he met in the Singularity. You know, the one that tried to punch his face out and almost succeeded?

(fuck the anime, the Master canonically beats Goetia’s face in with Mash’s shield, they know how to break peoples’ teeth in)

Kingu as a Servant does remember the Singularity. Is high-key guilty about Siduri.

Kingu actually spends most of the time trailing after the Master. It starts out as being a sort of almost antagonistic (one-sided) relationship, where he makes scathing remarks, taunts them, tries to get a rise out of them, uses them to Avoid™ the Babylonia Servants, and looks down at Master in any way he can for being an Old Human. 

He gets unsettled when the Master only smiles at him and hands him some pie. 

Still grudgingly shoves the pie into his mouth.

Eventually, Kingu goes from antagonistic to neutral, relaxing around Master, to becoming increasingly fond of Master in his own way. Eases out on the biting words and doesn’t actually mean them anymore when he yells or snipes at Master. 

Actually gets somewhat clingy to Master. Kinda like a cat. Kinda low-key tsundere and will probably let Ishtar take a shot at him before ever admitting he was fond of the Master.

Outwardly still looks like he disdains Master and scoffs at them a lot, but if anyone were to say something about Master he would just skewer them. How dare they? To the human who went up against him without flinching? Were they looking down on him?

shhh Kingu baby we know you care

Has an aneurysm whenever the Master does dumb stuff (which is a lot of times), because humans are so frighteningly fragile and holy shit you dumb human get down from that eldritch god altar right this instant or I will force you im not fucking joking-

stop randomly falling asleep and NOT WAKING UP

Reaches a realisation that he, as the only New Human, should take it upon himself to guide this dumb and weak Old Human and making sure they don’t die by tripping over a rock. 

Kingu is a dumbass in human emotions like 95% of the Chaldea Servants. Takes him a while to realise “oh shit I care for this dumbass human” and freak the fuck out. Or might never realise it and keep thinking he’s just doing stuff because he wants to.

Kingu has no qualms about murdering humans and other such creatures if they piss him off, tbh. His low empathy makes him capable of cruelty, brutality and even painful deaths, and he knows this and doesn’t care. 

At least, he SHOULDN’T care, but he subconsciously reigns in his brutality whenever he’s with his Master. Of course, he still rips apart through enemies and is scarily efficient as a Weapon but at least it isn’t as inhumane as in Babylonia.

Definitely is one of the Servants that advocates for the death of the entire population of mages from the Tower.

When their relationship gets close enough, the Master tells them of TIamat’s final moments. Kingu goes quiet and then thanks them for not raising their blade against his Mother. Kingu did love Tiamat, despite going against her at the end. 

Cried a bit during Gilfest. 

Enkidu is zen about Kingu and is pretty fond of him. 

Might have to do with the fact that Ishtar has an aneurysm after seeing the two of them together.

So... I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about "life-changing writing advice" all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.

I'm going to try it.

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME YOU'VE WATCHED THIS CARTOON TOO, IT'S MY PRIMARY SOURCE OF SEROTONIN

Guda is honestly such a chaotic force of nature.

Servants are fully defined by their legends and interpretations. Vlad is a good example, since more people know him as the monster Dracula over the ruler of Wallachia, and as a result manisfests more as a vampire because of it. Servants are temporary existances created from expectation to serve as tools. Servants, Mages and even the Throne all agree to this. Servants aren’t people, they can’t be people because they are Heroes, they can’t be free.

And Guda steps all over that.

Guda takes these echoes of people and helps them become complete, lets them step out of their legends and enjoy new things that they couldn’t because they were always constrained by their duty.

And honestly, that’s probably what Romani saw in them. Why Romani believed so much that Guda would be able to save the world. Because Guda is a simple, pure hearted person that is able to bring out the best in others. Someone able to unite servants not because the mission was so important, but because the servants found the Master important. You can even see this in the Solomon raid cutscenes, where almost all the servants came to help solely because they liked you enough to do it.

Guda humanizes their servants, frees them to be more than just legends, and that’s why they can help you save the world against Goetia. Because the future could only be made by human hands.

i like drawing gudako

bonus

Motivation

Habetrot basically threw Ritsuka under the bus for this.

I am so happy someone commissioned me to draw cool-looking Enkidu and Gudako

Gotta share it
