Rewriting Fate : Fuyuki Holy Grail War

How the fuck did this happen?! 😭

 

I mention Fuyuki's Holy Grail War in Fate/Yggdrasil and so that means it happened, right? Yes, practically yes. But here comes the tricky part. It's not exactly the same. You have to understand that copying and pasting Kinoko Nasu's story to Fate/Yggdrasil would've made things quite annoying for me as I didn't want a Nasuverse faithful product (No, this is YKIRVERSE! Ok, now you can laugh ...).
So how can we contextualize these wars and how should we deal with them? Well, I don't talk about them much in Fate/Yggdrasil precisely because my purpose was not to treat them in the same way as Kinoko Nasu. I only acknowledge that the five wars of the Holy Grail occurred for a simple enough reason: simplicity.

Treating a Holy Grail War like something new never seen before would've made it more complex. I wanted the conflict to be known already and the easiest way was to talk about those five conflicts created by Nasu. But ... but, and pay close attention, the wars I speak of are not exactly the same. I'm just saying they happened but I'm not talking about the events specifically just because a lot of things have changed in Fate/Yggdrasil. I didn't want to waste page after page describing how the Holy Grail War worked.

So what the fuck happened to Fuyuki?

I, of the wars of Kinoko Nasu, say only that they happened. But I imply, through F/Y's lore, that they didn't play out exactly the same way.

Rewriting Fate : The Holy Church

ME : "Where the fuck is the Holy Church?"

ALSO ME : "I don't know. I mentioned it because I thought it was cool but then I forgot about it and then thought what if it never happened? It would be much better, wouldn't it?"

STILL ME : "What the fuck are you talking about? Wouldn't it have been better not to talk about it at all instead of making a mistake like that ?!"

GUESS WHO ... ME : "Okay, you're right. I'm sorry I did this bullshit but it's too late now. What happened happened. Thing of the past. Carpe diem. Fuck you. I'm out of here."

 

Sooo ... the Holy Church. 😓

You know that secret sector of the Catholic Church that hunts down heretics and vampires? Good. Initially, I thought of maintaining its existence and of creating the Coven anyway and of making the two organizations ... er ... colleagues. But the problem is that going on I forgot about its existence, practically ignored it every time and in the end when I mentioned it I didn't give it a particular importance. So ... yeah ... I screwed up. So if you want a way to understand the Holy Church in Fate/Yggdrasil think of it this way: it's not the same organization as in the Nasuverse. It's not equally important, it's not equally influential, it's not viewed in the same way and it's inferior to the Coven. (This is the most important thing, 'kay? Coven > Holy Church) 

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

 

ME : "So are we done?"

ALSO ME : "Yeah, I think so-"

STILL ME : "Good. At least you didn't talk about Fuyuki's Holy Grail War, otherwise it would have been a problem."

YES, YES ... ME : "Yeah, about that ..."

ONLY ME : "No, no ... fuck you, seriously, but how the fuck are you wrong every time you do something? I'm out of here, you idiot." 

 

Rewriting Fate : The organizations

If you're regular readers of my blog you'll have already noticed something strange:
Nasuverse organizations are missing. I don't want to reiterate that this blognovel isn't canonical, however I want to shed light on the matter in order to avoid misunderstandings. The Mage's Association of the Fate franchise I clearly made it coincide with the Clock Tower alone. So here I considered the Wandering Sea to be non-existent, and the same fate has fallen to Atlas.

Why?

Actually, I also had my doubts at the beginning, I was afraid of making my readers only confused but then I decided to eliminate the organizations to create completely new ones. I never wanted to do something too similar to the Nasuverse (which I love but I don't want to copy), I wanted to freely use my imagination and my creativity and so I forced myself to keep only the Clock Tower (just because I liked the idea of it).
