I Still Think About This Scene. Chaldea Has Witnessed Guda Fight One Too Many Battles That Has Them On

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.

Any conspiracy theory about people going missing in National Parks is automatically silly to me. Like "Why are National Parks such a hotbed of disappearances???" because they're full of idiots. You've got thousands of people who've never pissed outdoors in their life wandering around the woods/desert/mountain with zero experience and zero gear and zero understanding that this place can kill them. You don't see as many disappearances in wild areas because people don't go to them unless they have some background knowledge. Whereas you get tour buses full of old folks and suburban families shuttling people into National Parks 365 days a year. If you took the same amount of buffoons and dropped them in the actual wilderness the disappearances would be significantly higher than at the parks. Use your brain.

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.

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.

“In nature, there’s no glory without sacrifice. Loss and gain are always balanced. Much is lost and much is gained. The people of the era will weigh the scales of good and evil themselves, and their value will be judged by future generations.”
