Years ago, someone asked me the watch order for Fate. This is what I said:

 Read the visual novel first

Either the one that was released first with the bad porn, or Realta Nua, it doesn’t matter which, unless of course, you are a minor, which means read Realta Nua. 

Why this first when Fate/Zero is the ‘prequel’? Simple, Fate Zero assumes that you have already played through the novel, which is why at some points you end up like ‘huh’? when they gloss over how magecraft works. 

Also, this is the only place you get the Fate route, aka the one where Shirou romances Saber/Arturia instead of Rin or Sakura. It is your introduction to Fate. 

Now you could say ‘well, I don’t have the attention span for that’. Boo hoo. If you can sit through whatever popular movie franchise that spanned over more than seven films, you can sit for a few hours of reading. 

What about the 2006 DEEN anime? Technically, yeah, you can watch it too, though here is your fair warning that it tries very hard to smoosh all three routes at once. 

But okay, sure, let’s say you ignore this, then what?

I guess you technically can start with Fate/Zero and go into Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works if you like Rin. Or go Fate/Zero to the Fate/Stay Night Heaven’s Feel movies if you like Sakura more.

‘I don’t care about them’

Oh, okay. Guess you can just watch Fate/Apocrypha and then ignore everything else, since Apocrypha is technically set in a different timeline.

But then what after? You are just here for Ritsuka and Mashu? Then ignore everything and just watch First Order, Lost Room in the Moonlight, the Camelot movie ( the second one coming SOON™) and Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia.

Fate is a franchise that has gone through many changes and contradicted itself many times, but what we can definitely all agree on is that people die when they are killed.

Here is my order:

Fate/Stay Night (the visual novel)
Carnival Phantasm
Fate/Stay Night (the DEEN version)
Fate/Stay Night [Unlimited Blade Works] (ufotable, not the DEEN one)
Fate/Stay Night [Heaven’s Feel] I - II - II
Fate/Zero
The Case Files of Lord El Melloi II
Fate/Apocrypha
Fate/Grand Order First Order
Fate/Grand Order Lost Room in the Moonlight
Fate/Grand Order Wandering Agateram
Fate/Grand Order Paladin Agateram
Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia
Fate/Grand Order Final Singularity- Grand Temple of Time: Solomon

Kaleid Liner Prisma Ilya is an outlier and I do not see it aside from Luvia. I do not take criticism for this.

Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan is for those that enjoy Shirou and want to know what he’s making for food.

Everyone is nostalgic and no one is sincere. Do you get the idea

Reboots made by people that don’t respect what they’re rebooting. Punching down before buzz feed listicles punch first. Isn’t it weird that the princess married the prince after just meeting him? Isn’t it cringe that magic exists? Irony poisoning of childhood classics. Well that just happened humour. Say something true and beautiful or I will start throwing rocks

Thinking about how when my oldest brother took Japanese classes his professor was like your pronunciation is really good 😊 but you need to watch movies that aren’t about the Yakuza because you sound like a criminal

somewhere in this beautiful world there is a man who sounds like Paulie Walnuts because he learned English by watching the Sopranos

Huge fan of the big stoic bodyguard archetype. Gonna cross your thick arms and grunt when I ask who you are? Gonna let your hand stray toward the hilt of your broadsword when I sit next to a stranger by the campfire? Of course you will. You love that.

I am abt to lose my fuckin mind because I happened upon this gender reveal party. and like it’s soo over the top expensive

And like I’m like. Oh great, a horse themed gender reveal party.

complete with like … just truly excessive foods and of course, themed cocktails

and this sign which like… the fragility of like *not* italicizing the word ‘colt’. Like imagine being this weird abt gender

with like, a bucket that eventually ‘revealed’ the gender

But like… the picture that really just completely undid me, for this party which surely was more money than many weddings -

it’s not a horse themed gender reveal party. It’s a gender reveal party FOR A HORSE. I can’t even like imagine the life that would lead to hosting a gender reveal party for a not-yet-born horse. Think abt getting an invitation to this. the cis are at it again.

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE READ ALL DAY

well this was a wild ride from start to finish

I knew before I googled that this was gonna be California and I was Not disappointed. The horse is TA Jullyens Lillyanna, she is an exceptionally fancy purebred Arabian.

https://www.varianarabians.com/recent-sales/ta-jullyens-lillyanna.html

Her price tag was $Car. $20k if I had to guess.

And the real kicker?

The revealed gender was wrong. #youhadonejob

you cannot make this shit up; horse people are, truly, Just Like That.

I AM SCREAMING
