FYR: it would be better

[Tobias]

how different do you think the Fate route would be if Saber still had her dick?

rin would have enjoyed it more over all, and saber being into oral sex as the giver would have elicited a great sigh of relief from shirou

I thought I read somewhere that Anastasia's ice was the Romanov family magecraft, but looking through her mats I only see it talking about Viy being the family's familiar (which I also knew). Is there anything actually saying that about Anastasia's ice or did I mix up fanon with canon?

[Comun]

IIRC pretty much everything she can do offensively stems from Viy. By Nastya's generation, the Romanovs had already long forgotten their mage roots.

[Dullahan]

the romanovs extensively intermarried with other european ruling dynasties, so should their having 'mage roots' be taken to imply the implicit implications implied by this

also why didn't it help her when she got shot and killed lol

[Reign]

She only made the contract with Viy on her deathbed, iirc she was never able to see it before then.

[Kamera]

so why didn't it help whoever the romanov that has it when they got killed

did the soviets have anti-mage, anti-mystery weaponry

[JusticeAmongSwords]

Ok, I know that I'm probably shooting the sky trying to hit the mmon here, but maybe Viy prevented only Anastasia's death because she was by all means the last member of dynasty(of the main ruling family at least)? Like, in order to continue existing Viy needed a living contractor from the dynasty, that's why he chose the youngest one? Viy didn't save any other members of family before Nicholas II because there was no need for it, since they had ligitarmate descendants? Sounds vague, but it's the only reason I can think of now.

Or maybe it was Rasputin. Simple as that.

Also, those weren't anti-mage or anti-mystery weapons I believe. They just. Shot. SALT.

state atheism destroys mystics

So in HF, Shirou's original body got destroyed, but what happened to Avalon, which was still inside it? Did it go back to the planet's Inner Sea? Did it transfer to his new body?

The answer is this:

IIRC pretty much everything she can do offensively stems from Viy. By Nastya's generation, the Romanovs had already long forgotten their mage roots.

She only made the contract with Viy on her deathbed, iirc she was never able to see it before then.

Because they forgot they mage roots, no Romanovs was able to see and formed a contract with Viy for a long time, only Anastasia right before her death was able to. Viy didn't prevent her murder or save her in any way. Anastasia was able to see Viy right before she died, what was enough to formed a contract that carry on when she become a HS. I think it was mentioned as well that the LBs circumtances are what allow her to use Viy's power as a HS, otherwise normal PHH Anastasia still wouldn't be able to call upon Viy when summoned

[Comun]

Yeah, Viy only contracted her AFTER the bullet hit.

[Kamera]

wow how useful

[Ratman]

How else are you supposed to fight Nazis?

[Rafflesiac]

With your fists and a bullwhip

[Reign]

Still upset Anastasia doesn't have a second NP born from the rumors she survived.

[maridsbip]

I'd guess it just became inert like it was before he summoned Saber.

[OverMaster]

wow how useful

Well, from Viy's perspective it probably was "These people forgot us and thought they could do fine without us, good ridd-- Owww, that's screwed up. I... I think I'm going to contract this poor agonizing girl after all."

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

I'd guess it just became inert like it was before he summoned Saber.

But he's no longer in the same body, so...

[JusticeAmongSwords]

Well, from Viy's perspective it probably was "These people forgot us and thought they could do fine without us, good ridd-- Owww, that's screwed up. I... I think I'm going to contract this poor agonizing girl after all."

They say that a road to hell is pathed with good intentions...

Next 10 seconds be like: "Ok, the contract is settled, she'll stay in this word for another minute I gue- Wow wow dudes, what are you coming here with your bayonets for, not coo- WOOOAH!"

Communism was a mistake.
