LLLLLLLOLLLLLLLLLLLLL

that about sums it up.

no ok uh. THE THING IS LIKE. it's not completely "new" to him given he has all these demons but it is different. atm he's really still feeling it out but. he doesn't actually give Master/Servant contracts the same weight in his mind compared to his demon contracts (because they seem less permanent, for starters)... but it's also sort of nice and famiiar while also being new and different. I think I told Moelle in a plurk meme how the way there's all this stuff Solomon doesn't already know about and understand in afd and it's revitalized him in a way? bc honestly at the point he died at he was just. done with trying. at anything. but he's a curious person and he likes learning and studying and thinking and now he has... reason and opportunity to again. so becoming a Master is a part of that.

otoh it's also hard to paint "demon contracts" and "Master/Servant contracts" as like everything that falls into those categories are the same as each other. contracts are individually personal to him. his contract to Sitri is different from his contract to Dantalion and if he contracts another Servant it'll be different from his contract to Karna. so I can't really say he's actively looking for more Servant contracts bc well, like, he needs to connect with another Servant in a way where he'll want to take them on again. but it's likely he'll end up taking on more lol.

THERE'S ALSO YONAH AND HAISE. who aren't inherently contract-bidden beings the way demons or Servants are so it's more complicated. but he's working on that honestly.

did Setsuna being Katou's Master change their relationship at all??

NOT A WHOLE LOT. Which... was really part of their problem. Katou cares about Setsuna as a friend, but he doesn't have any respect for him at all. Their friendship was incompatible as a Master/Servant relationship, and neither of them is good at listening. If they'd had a little more time, they might have figured out how to adapt their relationship into something more compatible, but Katou went and got himself killed before they had a chance.

(Setsuna absolutely used a Command Seal at one point just to make Katou shut up and listen!)

Can you tell me more about Uriel's AU?

I THINK I'VE REALLY TOLD YOU ABOUT AS MUCH AS I HAVE FIGURED OUT LMAO... um, the Uriel in afd probably went through, like, the proper canon timeline before eventually at some nebulously point in the future getting assassinated probably since lol heaven politics and then being summoned by Rociel

so he has no memory of fighting against himself in the past -- him and the "proper Uriel" he fights against are from branching timelines.

there also wasn't already a Grail War going on; if anything, Rociel instigated the start of a Grail War in forcibly summoning Uriel. (so when the main cast beat God and everything and go back to earth they probably walk right into the midst of the rest of a Grail War lol.) so Berserker Uriel never actually fought against other Servants, just. you know, angels. IDK WHAT ELSE TO SAY YOU CAN ASK SPECIFIC QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT??

have your characters icly rank the other teams besides their own from favorite to least favorite

YUUKIE:
Larkspur > Sakura > Asphodel > Aconite > Dahlia > Lycoris, though this is really more a measure of "how familar is Yuukie with x team" than like/dislike lmao HOW DOES DISLIKE WORK

SOLOMON:
tbh he barely even registers other teams outside of Aconite lmao. THAT'S KIND OF A BAD ANSWER BUT HE JUST DOESN'T REALLY... CARE... so this is a bit arbitrary and doesn't really mean anything lol but
Asphodel > Hemlock > Lycoris > Larkspur > Dahlia > Sakura

URIEL:
OK I ACTUALLY AM GONNA COP OUT OF ANSWERING FOR URIEL THO BECAUSE HE JUST GOT HERE AND HASN'T TALKED TO HALF THE TEAMS AND BODYSWAP MADE EVERYTHING MORE CONFUSING AND HE WOULDN'T MAKE A JUDGMENT CALL ON AN ENTIRE TEAM BASED ON ONE OR TWO PEOPLE ANYWAY

god. how is Rin doing after that cat-astrophe

URIEL'S IS LEGIT I frankly expected that kind of answer.

WELL! Rin still doesn't feel bad about her decision to pick Solomon over Sitri in that game b/c his sin upset her a great deal, so if kitty wanted her to feel bad, he failed. As a result of his torture and then her torture at the hands of everyone else, however, her self-esteem fell through the floor. It's not that she held herself in high regard so much as she's been using it as proof that she really is the worst sort of person, that every negative thought she's ever said or thought about herself is true and everyone else agrees. So she feels like she's trash, she's worthless, and the one good thing she can do is go back to life long enough to free Hatsuharu from the curse and then maybe, if she's lucky, she can sink into oblivion and someone else will be the Horse.

SO BASICALLY IT WAS THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO HER in that sense. \o/

(i love it)

If you were forced to drop down to one character, who would you choose?

HRM. Solo...mon... probably... or else I would reapp Rantsa tbh. the thing is I have no real concerns over "could I maintain this character if they were my only character" if you go by my afd lineup bc all of them are characters with whom I would actually be doing much better with if they were my only character lmao. (Rosary in court I wouldn't be able to manage though but really I'm managing hir anyway.) so it's Solomon because he has the most elaborate cr network, lol.

on the flip side Rantsa obviously had very little cr but - the thing with Solomon is that he's really static whereas Rantsa, despite seeming like a static character, is really set up for a major character arc, and if she were my only character I would have a lot more time and energy to invest in her and have her interact with more characters more and eventually bring that arc to fruition. at that point maybe I would be satisfied and drop her and switch to someone else lmao but it would be. fun!!
