you’re on a ship that’s sinking

you fall into ice

you’re stuck in an elevator

you hit a deer with your car

reposting bc the prolifers found my old post and i dont want them to have nice things

This scene this scene this scene this scene undoes all my domestication at once. What motivated Morgan to destroy king Arthur so viciously? What motivated Morgan to sacrifice everything she had (including personhood, happiness and life) to rule a country that hated her? What could lead a single person to take such drastically different paths in each iteration?

That's easy. While their methods are different, the goal was the same; Morgan- every Morgan- genuinely, profoundly loved Britain. And Morgan- every Morgan- was rejected by Britain at every turn.

Morgan doesn't give a shit about her ruling right. In the lostbelt, she would have been perfectly fine with Mab and/or Cnoc taking things over. In panhuman history, she didn't even try to rule Camelot after the fall of Camlann. The one thing the one thing the ONE thing Morgan wants, above everything is a home. But the only way for Britain to survive in the lostbelt was by her becoming a tyrant. And the only shot she had in phh was by stopping Mystery from being driven out of the island- ie, by stopping King Arthur as she brought forth the age of man.

Don't get me wrong. Phh Morgan is a bitch and a motherfucker. But when you see her side of the story as "I am desperately trying to not get evicted" suddenly her actions make a lot more sense. From her perspective, she is being driven out, chased away from the one place she's ever known- where to? The reverse side of the world, a land of fairies, when she herself is partially human? To stay in this world, to become a witch, shunned by all, as Beryl's story tell us?

Lostbelt Morgan and phh Morgan are two very different people, because they have different experiences, and because (according to her profile) losbelt Morgan is much older and as such chilled out a lot on the whole death and murder thing. But if you were to ask who is Morgan? What is the common thread, the core of her character you will find in every world? then here is your answer:

Morgan is an incredibly ruthless person, capable of the most virtuous acts and the most intense cruelty for her goals.

Morgan, truly, sincerely, loved Britain.

Morgan does not belong anywhere.

Play Fate/Stay Night because it’s a great way to understand this franchise. Play Fate/Stay Night so you too can see that yes, Artoria as she appears in Fate/Grand Order really has learned from the events of Fate/Stay Night. Play Fate/Stay Night to see four children eventually tell the horrid and toxic legacies they are wounded by to get fucked.

But mostly, play Fate/Stay Night because it’s a wonderful tale that will cradle and rend your heart in equal measure, sometimes both at once. Especially both at once.
