They never even met in life so I don't think it's that squicky. Though it doesn't help that Achilles keeps calling her "big sis"... (Even if that phrase probably has more nuances in Japanese than in English)Originally Posted by SirGauoftheSquareTable
I hope you're saying this aware it's fanon shipping.

True, but I just can't support it because of the generational difference and the fact that she was a childhood hero of his. Normally, I'm okay with the childhood hero schtick for ships, but not this one. I just can't get behind it.

Yeah, after all, this is about "popularity". Then again, even their canon interactions were sorta shippy from Achilles' end, though it may just be really strong hero worship.
If making it past the dead end wasn’t practically impossible Atlas magi wouldn’t go so insane.
Isn't that what the Great Magics are, though?
Tsukihime is very dull and boring. The only entertaining entries of that franchise are the Melty Blood games.
Isn't it explicit that Achilles has a crush on Atalante from hearing his dad tell stories about his time with her on the Argo? The only fanon part would be assuming she ever reciprocated.
This doesn't stop the Lancer/Bazett people (unfortunately)
I actually support Lancer and Bazett, strangely enough, mostly because you know it'd throw both Lancer and Bazett a bone but also because the generational difference is so large it doesn't really matter. I don't know, I know I'm being inconsistent here.
Answer me, which is a better ship. Cu/Bazzet or Cu/Scathach?
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
anywhere than here
Also, even if they never met in life, I'd say Atalante is still an aunt because I'd definitely consider a friend of my parents' who I have yet to meet an aunt or uncle. Maybe that's just my heritage.
I'll give you anything else that's to do with Achilles' personality, but everything else is squarely "boys and girls can't share personal space or it's love".

Cu/Bazett. Cu respects Scathach too much to actually attempt to enter a relationship, even if they did have sex once or twice. It's the same reason I don't support Caesar x Lisa Lisa from JJBA.
I don't see why a generational difference really matters in a case like that. Sure, Cu as a Heroic Spirit is technically thousands of years old, but it's not like he grew older on the Throne in a normal sense (either physically or mentally). For all intents and purposes he's the same age as when he died in life, which is around 20 at most. Not much older than Bazett at all.
The hero worship is more of a problem, admittedly, but it's not like that sort of thing is unprecedented in healthy relationships either. Also, if you were to consider the generation gap a real issue you'd have to call Saber (a several hundred year old king) a pedo for falling in love with Shirou (a highschool boy), which I don't think anyone has done seriously. Feels like a bit of a double standard there.

It's not actually the generational gap that bothers me about Achilles and Atalante. It's the whole she's an honorary auntie thing. I've grown up with several of those, so the idea of attempting to enter a relationship with one of my parent's friends honestly is a little ugh...
That's fair enough. The fact they existed contemporaneously in life (even if they never met) makes it different than Cu and Bazett, where it's basically a time-travel romance for all intents and purposes. With Achilles and Atalante, it'd be like travelling back in time and screwing one of your "honorary aunts" which she was the same age as you, which could still come off as creepy even without any age or maturity gap.
Yeah, for me, I take the whole honorary aunt and uncle thing very seriously, and that means certain interactions are out of bounds, including that sort of thing.
Cu/Medb
Wrong answer.
Oh I thought we were just naming incredibly shitty het ships did i misread the situation
