BTW if you haven't heard, Caster's Master in Samurai Remnant is a descendant of Seimei, so there is a non-zero chance that Caster is Seimei himself (his VA also voiced Seimei's descendant in one anime).

Heart goes out to you in these times of Douman turmoil. I saw folks accusing CAENEUS of the same thing when he showed up in LB1 and was like "I'll steal your woman" at Kadoc. Caeneus, whose entire myth hinges on surviving assault. Fandom just gets rough as hell, let people enjoy their beasties quietly.
Great taste in ff14s as well, by the way. Have a good one!

Check out Douman's line if you refuse the drink, is he a rapist bc of that?
(CW RAPE MENTION)
Is Douman an evil asshole monster man who pulls evil asshole moves that put their master in explicit danger while also adding a whole level of sexual harassment on top of it, not to mention the thinly veiled threat of maybe actually cannibalizing them? Yes.
Is Douman a rapist? No.
I'm kind of tired of this discourse that has cropped up especially amongst Douman haters - it's already been brewing in the EN fandom for a while before the BAR animation. "Douman's a creep! Douman's a sexual pervert! DOUMAN'S A RAPIST WHY DOES ANYONE LIKE HIM" And then going after Douman fans like its some kind of gotcha just to get some kind of moral high ground and shaming people to feel bad for liking a character that they hate. Of course, anyone can hate any character for any reason. I really don't care if people hate Douman! Like hey, yeah! The guy's a whole jerk and a half! Hate away! But to take the traits of a character and twist them into the worst version of itself especially with something that has not even happened is frustrating beyond belief. Douman forces a drink on you against your consent, a drink filled with curses. A horrible thing. But please. Please use your heads. This is not a Tamamo Lancer Valentine situation where she explicitly drugs Guda's drink to get them addled enough to attempt sexual assault. The drink is full of curses. It's (supposedly) extremely harmful to Guda (though their other "route" in the BAR animation has them PERFECTLY FINE and even cheerful after drinking the drink willingly). Douman always has a part of them that wants to kill and maybe even eat Guda. That's their whole schtik as a "beast with the skin of a man" who constantly crosses the wires of hatred and love, seen especially in their Valentine scene with their "gift full of love". (And even in their Valentine scene, there's no sexual assault whatsoever or attempt to force themselves on Guda, so. Please.)
Anyways, that's all for me on this point. I'm not going to answer any more questions on this subject.

You're like one of few people I trust with Zenos takes... keep on keeping on seeing both of your accounts on my TL always sparks immense joy for me

I'm sorry you had to see that, I just can't bear the constant hate and misinformation being thrown after falling in love with Douman thanks to your wonderful analysis

Same user said that only either down horrendous women/gay men/NBs (who might be bottoms) like him, and that is like saying that people only like them because of sex appeal
Cishet men, please open your hearts and minds to a coquettish princess of a muscular 200 meter tall monk who will do your taxes and defeat your enemies all at once Believe me. This is a perfect spouse. (But yeah, no, its such a Take like even if the character isn't your Type doesn't even mean its a bad character. My God.)

I think those people are like that with Douman bc it's a character they hate and can't fathom how they got so widly loved by a lot of fans, so they are spreading lies for people to hate them
I think there is a large part of it that is because of this. I totally get that Douman is not everyone's cup of tea! That's fine! But it's like, taking one character and dressing them up as something ELSE just to make people who like them look like they're bonkers out of their mind is like. Why. Douman literally did so much wrong, talk about THAT instead of lying???

They are calling Douman a r*pist and that he is Bluebeard, is this true?
Yes, unfortunately, I saw it with my own eyes. It's not even a one-off sort of thing. One time I saw someone just blatantly say that "people only like characters like Douman because they (women) like to be abused". It's insane. They literally have no idea what this character is about, and then you throw some horrific misogyny on top of it too! Yay! (EXTREMELY SARCASTIC)

Delighted to see you enjoy the Big Slab Of Words book! Genuinely!! Tezcatlipoca Yayauhqui is a marvel of a deity and seeing more people enjoy his myth and attributes is a great joy. I'm still a bit grumpy FGO merged red/blue/black when theyre really not seen as the same thing, but the continued enjoyment is an undeniable perk. Hope you keep having fun reading! :) -otaplover's og book rec anon
THANK YOU SO MUCH BOOK REC ANON ITS SOOO GOOD i love it genuinely, having the best of times, really skyrocketed to one of my fave deities ever just strictly by how wonderfully complicated and how intricately tied he is to humanity at large...its just a book made of love and you can feel it so well. SHOUTOUT TO YOU GULHEIM OLIVIERRRRRR and yeah. me closing my eyes at nasu forever but as far as things go he could've easily just went and made him a whole violent bastard but the way the fgo character is a thoughtful self-proclaimed intellectual who emphasizes his blessings for humanity as much as his bastardry really gets me right HERE (clutches chest)

Psst. What are your OCs' favorite hats? What about their favorite shoes?
FOR HATS:
nate - nothing super specific, likes Big Fancy ones because they catch the eye, likes the one with feathers or cool patterns
venus - a nice trilby or breton hat, he likes it classy (though he has a soft spot for top hats because he already kind of leans into a magician vibe)
nate - can't stand hats and would prefer hoodies
lake - bowler hat (would get trilby to match with venus)
FOR SHOES
niel - boots in general! he likes big long boots, good for stomping, they feel Significant
venus - dress shoes, knee-high boots with heels, laced shoes
nate - timberlands, work boots or shoes that generally can bear a lot of wear and tear, he doesn't care a lot about the look of them
lake - honestly loves kitten heels and scorpion heels, but generally wears dress shoes as per the butler look

i figure you are the best person to ask this being the expert you are in all things fandaniel: where did the headcanon of amon being a duskwight elezen come from? do you know? and i wonder if you + your followers have a lil collection of fanart of him like that which a person like me can look at For Reasons
It's not a headcanon! If you look closely at Amon's model (provided in this tweet) you can see two gray-skinned ears poking out from behind his mask (helmet?)! The man's 100% a Duskwight. I do not have a fanart collection at hand BUT anyone who wants to help out pls reply with your collections here!!

I saw one of your earlier answers to a question about Lake’s homeland, and I got really curious. You said there were two sources, can you elaborate on that a little? You don’t have to; I’m just a little intrigued lol.
