Here’s a pic of Emiya with a lei bc I was editing something.

I worked for hours to inflict emiyas’ ‘can you believe this sht’ face on myself

m ma i d…. can’t finish the outline today….

housewife (cool) and househusband (scary) who may or may not have criminal past

i gave up on the cat almost immediately

This certain user sent me a message telling me that me liking only their emiya post is weird, and that it makes them uncomfortable. Uhhhh I have no idea how I should approach this, but leaving it sit there without me saying anything leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This user seems to have already blocked me so they most likely won’t be seeing this but eh, I’m doing this mostly for my own sense of ease.

If they or anyone want to block me I don’t mind, I would be none the wiser and it wouldn’t be my problem, but blocking me after telling me that is pretty weird, and somewhat feels petty. Why bother to message me at all? If they block me without messaging me I wouldn’t have noticed. I assume this person is new to tumblr or something like that, because many people here like stuff simply to bookmark the post to be further inspected later or just, yknow, bc they like it. And I like their emiya stuff bc they’re the latest posts of emiya’s tag when sorted by latest, there’s nothing deeper to it. Dude, I didn’t even recognize your username and had to check my like list to understand what you’re referring to, I promise you it’s nothing personally directed at you.

I feel like I need to explain myself, because I would hate to make anyone uncomfortable, and it’s never been my intention to make anyone so, but I can’t even do that, so I’ll be petty and post this and tag it so it can be seen, bc I just spent a significant amount of time worrying about this and writing this whole thing.

I know I might sound crazy but hear me out, gilmiya is actually pretty romantic conceptually.

One thing that’s canonically establish about Gilgamesh and Emiya is how Gil despises Emiya’s practice of creating fakes from original treasures which he also owns, calling him Faker in disdainful manner. And I guess that’s it. But it always bothers me that this one thing is left unexplored between them, which is Gil’s whole reasoning in attempting to release All The World’s Evil to the world, to let the hell loose and allow the natural selection process run its course because he hates the current modern society for being weak and for each individual lacking value of their own.

Meanwhile Emiya is someone who, as stated by Nasu, was born in the wrong part of history. Were he born in the age where heroes were created and heroic life flourish, he would’ve successfully lived the way he desired as a hero. But because he was born in modern era, his heroism and altruism stood out as strange, his hardline ideals alienated him, and he was shunned for it, leading to his death. He would’ve been the kind of human that Gil would respect among the people of modern society, yet it never came up. And then they made Gil inexplicably ‘respects’ Ritsuka who lacks any meaningful writing devoted to build them up in any way resembling an actual character, let alone an interesting one, sure thing nasu

Gil (theoritically) appreciates people like Emiya who chose a hard, tumultuous, heroic life among people living in modern world he deemed as weak and seemingly live without having to embody any meaning of their own, and the whole Gilgamesh owning every treasure in the world including weapons and Emiya whittling his existence down into a sword, a tool, a weapon, it writes itself. A weapon-slash-treasure belonging to Alaya, and a king with a bold claim towards every single treasure in the world desiring that of which belongs to the world itself, that’s one hell of a setup to a (probably initially a bit nonconsensual bc Gil is an inconsiderate asshole and Emiya hates him) star-crossed love story.

Oh and don’t forget Emiya’s parallel to Enkidu who is a self-proclaimed weapon taking an appearance of a human, and how apparently he also creates weapons as a part of his ability, which is said to be the representation of humanity’s craftmanship. Though I’ll have to say, I can’t see Enkidu bring more interesting dynamics with Gilgamesh compared to Emiya. He’s undoubtedly very important to Gil, but their interaction feels… established, for the lack of better term. They’re the bestest of friends, and we know Enkidu challenges Gil and equals him in a way no one could, and his death is a huge catalyst for Gil’s journey but that’s all there is to it. They’re so close and their bond so unbreakable it also makes them static. Regardless of the circumstances around them, they’ll never change towards each other. Part of it maybe because their budding process has already gone by, it has happened in the past, any conflict that might have existed between them has been resolved. The most interesting they could’ve been was when Enkidu has already long since died and it’s never been Enkidu to begin with.

I admit it might just be me being hyperfocused on Emiya, which I can’t do anything about, but I guess it comes down to personal interest, and gilkidu isn’t really a dynamics that interests me.

These are the how interesting Gilgamesh and Emiya pair could be and how they theoritically could bring the best and worst out of each other to explore their character depth which is disappointing it isn’t explored anywhere it seems…. Why aren’t you seeing this Nasuuuu *shake fist towards the cloud*

On the side note, I really like the idea of hedonist Gilgamesh dragging Emiya along in his lavish lifestyle, forcibly humanizing Emiya in the process. The maybe three (yes it’s sad) fanfics that I found on this pairing all have this particular part, which I think is essential to this pairing for that sweet sweet payoff of watching Emiya struggling to get used with normal life again, to be human again, for him to realize in the end that he is human, that he’s allowed to appreciate all life has to offer, and I love every bit of it.
