Are you Don Quixote? I know your name, naturally. You remain the same brave knight from your tales no matter what. I believe it. Oh? My autograph? Then may I get your autograph in return? Haha, now I have something I can brag about.

Sir Mordred? I hear you were helpful in Olympus. "That me isn't me"? Haha, that's true, but I'm still proud of you nonetheless.

I fucking love my boy Laaaaaance. It's been so long since I've seen him being wholesome instead of a poor attempt at the same joke.

[ultimum spes]

Funniest trigger I ever saw

Huh I think it's more surpising that he has his dos and don't beyond children

EDIT

and with this alone, I can honestly say that this white day was a huge success.

Thanks for all of these.
-Chiron, stop lying to Astolfo...
-It's great to get another line for Sieg though.
-Lol, Geronimo was about to curse out Edison.
-David suggesting a leash for Girlin... wild.
-I wonder what Fergus's standards are. No kids, or presumed teenagers I suppose. No devoted wives possibly, but Tomoe's not on the exceptions list. It's funny that Suzuka's an exception given his interlude.
-It's nice to see Lancelot praise Don Quixote.
-LMAO at Leonidas praising Neethime.

Someone in the thread pointed out Yu Mei-Ren, Brynhildr, and Kriemhild are not in Fergus’s blacklist, so it can’t be that.

Fergus, I don’t understand you…

[Hermitfold]

I really loved his line with Melusine. Man just got hyped to train harder to be worthy of being imitated. Just perfect.

Worth noting that Fergus's most famous paramour was married; he was killed by her husband to boot

[Petrikow]

There are a lot of married women not on his blacklist. Tomoe, Murasaki, among others.

I can't really spot an obvious pattern among the non-lolis.

[Comun]

The most intriguing part is all 3 FsN heroines being out but Bazett and Caren being in. Fergus is a Hollow Ataraxia elitist.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

From a glance at the exceptions, maybe it's just Fergus' preferences, which are mostly mature and/or curvy women.

Though there are some who aren't listed despite fulfilling the criteria.

Suzuka beats Fergus up after she realized he was asking for sex in her interlude, so that's probably why she's blacklisted.

[Synaptic Star]

If ORT is Space Plankton, would that not imply it's actually at the bottom of the space food chain

New headcanon: outside of Earth, plankton is the greatest predator and Earth put its native equivalent at the bottom out of spite.

Plankton contains chloroplasts which are descended from cynaobacteria which nearly wiped out life on Earth. Don't underestimate how deadly the thing at the bottom of the food chain is.

Long Story

So, millions of years ago, a microbe evolved something extraordinary. They could turn light, water, and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen creating massive amounts of energy dwarfing the amounts available to previous lifeforms. With this amazing power they became the dominant species on the planet but also polluted their atmosphere with toxic gas, devasting other life and eventually themselves(sound familiar?). That toxic gas gas was oxygen which is massively reactive, just ask any piece of iron that's slowly turning into rust, tearing though, like a chainsaw through paper, the fragile chemistry of the lifeforms at that time.

Now, living in the modern world, you might guess that some life survived, became immune to oxygen, and even evolved to use it. Yes on the first and thrid point but no on the second point. Oxygen is still massively reactive and thus deadly as ever. Today most species reproduce sexually. Why do they do that when asexual reproduction is much more efficient? Because all DNA is in a constant state of deterioration due to being damaged by oxygen. No matter how many copies a piece of DNA makes of itself(clones though asexual reproduction), all of them will get progressively more degraded each generation eventually leading to the end of its lineage. DNA survives by recombination, mixing itself with other DNA, essentially creating new DNA(children though sexual reproduction).

The gas that you can't live five minutes without also slowly kills you. It's horrifying and you have the cyanobacteria to thank.

[Kirishima]

But you also would never have a human without oxygen. You wouldn't get intelligent humanoid who dont breathe oxygen, just something else entirely. Probably just the same life form that were around at the time, unchanging much.

[Petrikow]

Death and rebirth...

Thanks Tezcatlipoca.

[SMinairo]

Oh! That's Sir Mordred, the traitor Knight of the Rounds. I supposed we're bound to confront each other someday. Sir Mordred would gladly accept any challenge for a duel, so I plead your grace to NEVER EVER think about this again.

Lmao, never change Don Quixote, truly the world's first chuunibyou(?)

I'm really not here for self promo immjust here because I thought it was something to share as part of the fate family if I happen to lead any kind of offense then I apologize

Don't worry; I don't think anyone took any particular offense.

That said, generally speaking users that show up and post a link without context as their first post are suspected as bots, so that's always a bad first impression to give. Wanting to create and share original content is something we're positive to in general, just as long as it's done in a proper manner.

[ALargeToe]

You know, coming onto this site for the first time out of curiosity as to what it's like, and seeing this whole thread go on for a few pages about a man who is apparently Daybit, power wank and its place in the Nasuverse, and genuine, actual "I'm not reading all that but I'm happy for you" level posts...It is oddly refreshing.

Anyway, does Tez ever mention anything about what his underworld actually is? It seems like a sort of purgatory/recovery place, but I don't remember if he mentioned anything more.

[TresserT]

It's the place where people who die in battle but lost the battle go. People who die in battle but win go to a paradise, but Tez gives the people who die in battle but lose a place to rest and recover, because they deserve it as much as those who won. That said he sends them back once their soul has recovered. I think it's implied to be some sort of reincarnation schtick generally as literally being revived doesn't really make sense, but that last part is just me speculating.

[mojomomo]

Of course at the end of the day I just wanted to come in a respectable manner

[Petrikow]

(You) call it the boundary between life and death, so I don't think it's so simple as being the afterlife.

It also seems weirdly achronological. There shouldn't be a reason for Tezca to be there the first time he and Fujimaru meet if we assume it follows the same chronology as the rest of the world does. Tezca was still out doing shenanigans with Daybit when Storm Border crashed.

From a purely mechanical standpoint, we actually know very little about Mictlampa. Perhaps Nasu will expand on it in Tezcatlipoca's mats, but let's not get our hopes up.
