Sparkle Of Life

it’s nap time

i still think about this scene. chaldea has witnessed guda fight one too many battles that has them on the verge of getting killed. enough to the point where they believe in their inability to get killed (yet). when they temporarily left guda to the hands of the enemy, they really trusted that chance of them not dying within the timeframe given. they really believed in it despite the obvious possibility that one's fate can always change. with them making this decision, im concerned about chaldea's future choices more and more. guda already sees themself as a disposable master ready to be replaced by kadoc but chaldea having that logic of "as long as they arent in critical condition, theyre fine. they can come later." for them really worries me.

what happens if kriem decided to just kill them then and there when they got presented to her? what happened if salome just didnt resist seeing guda as jokanaan?

arent you guys getting too confident in that ability of guda's? are you going to hand guda to the enemy and pray that their infinite charisma saves all of them? you already know the side effects of using the Black Barrel, the least you guys could do is pull out all the stops to keep them safe

are you forgetting that theyre human in the end? a fragile one even as they have been shattered and remade again and again, human but put together with missing pieces, chipped and glued together but still usable

i wonder if romani and caster da vinci would have prioritized guda... i wonder how things would have turned out if current chaldea were much more careful than letting their most important field operative and cornerstone of their mission inject themselves with active ampoules again and again, even if theyre coughing up blood from exertion.

guda cant tell current chaldea about their insecurities already, and its painful to look at.

Day 443: I got a really specific headcanon involving the chest drops and how they're retrieved. When an enemy is defeated and drops a chest, if a Servant is close to it they bring it back to Master's side, however if the chest is dropped and no one is close to it, Master runs across the field and runs back with it in hand.

Basically Master is doing this:

anyone know that reddit post about a girl who’s gf washes her hair and it talks about non sexual intimacy

Your headcanons are amazing! Could you please do some about fem!master bringing Enkidu, who's been with them since Orleans, to the Babylonia singularity and meeting CasGil? How would their relationship go? And how it would affect wise king's attitude towards the master? Maybe trio interactions (I'm sorry if it's too specific)

note: im so sorry for being late anon :< was preoccupied but i hope you like this one as well! it will turn angst though nyehehe. I deliberately left it to be read as platonic or romantic

Gilkidu and Fem!Master headcanons

♡ Once Enkidu receives the news of a Babylonia singularity, he would have mixed emotions as he would be going back to his homeland yet it isn't his own, although he wouldn't show it outwardly.

♡ His master, who has been close to Enkidu would notice it even at the start as she knows Enkidu, so she would ask him about it.

"It is nothing of concern, Master." Enkidu says with a smile, trying to reassure her, "I had simply had thoughts regarding my past, but I assure you, it would be fine."

♡ With that, his master turns back with a sigh, often trying to make Enkidu ease but until realizing she could trust him with his own feelings and lets it be until he wants to be open with her regarding the matter.

♡ On the day of the rayshift, the two bravely face it and sooner or later encounter Ishtar (and therefore bonking her abit) and Caster Gilgamesh yet Enkidu is quickly faced with a problem upon them entering the singularity.

"There is someone who is the same as me, Master."

♡ While neither of them had understood it at first, it was obvious when they had spotted a being using chains as a weapon as well as the general confusion of the citizens and Ishtar herself upon seeing Enkidu, mistaking him for Kingu, who was an enemy.

♡ The master and Enkidu himself tries to reassure everyone that they aren't enemies and demonstrate Enkidu's personality differences from the more battle-hungry Kingu.

♡ As for King Gil, his affections for his friend will not overrule the priorities he has which is - keeping Babylonia safe. However, he will entertain you more as a form of respect for his only friend.

♡ Because of this as well, Gilgamesh sticks by you and Enkidu's side, making excuses and bringing Siduri a headache. Whether if its pushing back monsters or helping the people do chores, Gilgamesh would use it.

♡ Battles would also be followed by a more grand victory celebrations as per Gilgamesh's orders. Wine and good food would be passed around alighting you and the others servants' will to fight - to help the people, with you, Gil and Enkidu always being the last ones left.

♡ It is likely that Gilgamesh would be more open to you as you bought his real bestfriend back. Kingu would be much more aggressive in killing, you, the female master as Enkidu's existence makes his life null.

♡ This results in much more harder fights, with the master being pushed to the brim as she seems people drop lifeless easily as if they never mattered. However with Enkidu and Gil supporting you, you gain your senses to be able to fight back and defeat tiamat.

How about some hcs with Hans and Shakespeare having a master that's also writer.

Hans Christen Andersen and William Shakespeare + Master Who Writes!

Hamlet was the bane of my existence. End of story, literally.

Being writers themselves, Hans and Shakespeare are often found in Chaldea’s library and archive reading and studying written material from eras beyond their lifetimes.

One day, during their usual perusing, they stumbled upon you sitting quietly in a corner desk, pen and paper in hand. Of course, they cannot help but become curious about what you are writing.

You tried to hide your materials at first, after all, you were just a novice writer and now two of the most prolific and well-respected authors in the literary canon were now asking to read your manuscript. Having them read your writing would bring you nothing but unadulterated embarrassment at the difference in your abilities.

But after finally prying your current project away from your hands, rather than loosely skimming through the jumble of words, they immediately began discussing the thoughts and ideas you put into each sentence, giving suggestions as to how you could better convey your ideas. 

Shakespeare, however tried to turn every single one of your projects, whether it be historical-fiction, romance, sci-fi, always tried to twist it into a bizarre tragedy.

Sure, the writing was beautiful and deeply symbolic, but you just could not see any reason for you to end a bildungsroman story with a grand, Stephen King-esque end…interesting enough, but not really what you had in mind…

Sometimes you ask them about their past works’ and give hypotheses as to why they wrote a character in a specific way, or why they used a specific setting.

When you asked Shakespeare about what his inspiration for writing Hamlet, and whether if Hamlet was truly mad, he just laughed and commented that sometimes analyzing too deeply answers nothing.

Just for fun, you, Shakespeare, and Hans sometimes writes stories of the servants in Chaldea.

You and Hans co-penned Gilgamesh’s New Clothes, a parody of his own work, and it was all fun and games until KoGil got his hands on the manuscript and carelessly showed it to his older counterparts.

Thus ensuing a pair of VERY angry Gilgamesh’s threatening to destroy Chaldea with Enuma Elish until you and Hans pitifully watched the manuscript burn in the incinerator.

Good thing you wrote an extra copy…right?

Enki-do my math homework

Since your blog name mentions them I am legally obligated to ask you to share your Enkidu headcanons. Tell me about the cute clay enby. *Tell me.*

I am an enkidufanboy after all so here's some thoughts;

As a servant, Enkidu's base form is that of a clay monster and they are using their transformative abilities to keep up their humanoid form; if hit with a spell that would disable/limit their transform ability, they'd revert to their monstrous form.

Even if Gilgamesh refuses to meet them at some point, they have unwavering faith in him, so they have no worries about their friendship.

They love to be pushed to their limits during a fight and they rarely back down from a challenge; not because they're prideful but because they're curious to see what it would lead. Under the right circumstances, they'd probably even dismiss their Master to keep on fighting.

Enkidu likes humans, but doesn't see them as their kin, they will protect humanity and walk alongside it, but they see themselves outside of them (not too dissimilar from Qin Shi Huang). Thus they feel a bit more relieved to be around other non-humans and non-gods.

Enkidu is neutral towards Ishtar only during pride when she's being an ally. Outside of that, it's goddess hunting season.
