Hi! I'm not technically back from the dead. I don't think. But I was made aware by the lovely @furekami that I never posted my contributions to the ORV scenario zine! There's another one somewhere around here. I'll find it. In the mean time, please enjoy.
I was just listening to "Two" by Sleeping at Last and it brought back all of my very emotional feelings about ORV that I thought was dormant for two years. God I love this story so much.

one of the most powerful messages orv has tbh is "your self-loathing behavior badly hurts other people who want to care for you." a lot of depictions of depression, suicidality, issues with self-esteem, etc. focus near-exclusively on the person who suffers from them, which is understandable, but I love that orv is commited to showing how SELFISH kdj's behavior can be. he tends to trample over other people's desperate wishes to connect to him and love him because he doesn't think he's worthy of it, and it ends up being some of the worst pain those people have ever experienced when he won't let them reach him! he's of course a sympathetic character but he still has this horrible habit of disregarding other people's emotions in ways that are unintentionally awfully cruel!
like idk i don't think anything's ever put a silver bullet through a martyr complex quite like the message of "you hurt people SO MUCH WORSE by harming & isolating yourself than any pain you could potentially cause them by sharing your burdens with them." it's realistic and kind while still being the brick upside the head some people need to snap em out of it lmao
I've come across many good analysis of ORV the past few years, and I can't pick which one to pin on my profile. If you're interested, check them out! Some of them may just be small excerpts of people's opinions, though :)

what's the best official(/semi official) arjuna art
Oh thats a hard answer. Obviously in fgo the best is his card art bc it means you just pulled arjuna, congratulations. Taking this seriously though? Hmmm.....
well the BEST ever is definitely this one by pako but I'll put some more favs under the cut
genuine smiling arjuna is always best arjuna
For solo arjuna pics I'm very partial to basically anything pako draws, like this tiny doodle of arjuna...i love the confident energy...its so cute
or this frankly unfairly attractive arjuna with cigarette that he hid in an artbook.
i might dislike smoking but....sir....please for the love of god i am but a mortal human
I also love this chibi festival arjuna that i belive was drawn for something regarding fate extella link. He's so proud of his fish :)
I don't super love arjuna's offical extella link art BUT i love how he looks whenever wada puts out an artbook with him- i know theres one floating around tumblr of regular archer juna as well but i cant. find it right now LMAO
like just LOOK at him he is so beautiful and gentle looking. i am crying as well. wada why couldnt his offical extella link art carry this energy
also if karna is allowed in I ALSO love this art of both of them like. the colors? the posing?? omg. also i just love the pattern on arjunas pashupata ball thingy
super karna vs arjuna alter is also just incredible. regardless of whether or not you like lb4 this art is just outstandingly gorgeous.
also these group arts are great... just an entire team of clowns
(pako)
(redrop)
(i think twitter handle starshadowmagic? google was NOT helpful lol)
Pako has drawn a couple of bits where Arjuna and Nursery Rhyme hang out together which I think is very sweet because their first meeting definitely involved her going up to him and asking, "Excuse me, are you a prince?" and Arjuna would be like, "Why yes, I was royalty when I was alive," and Nursery Rhyme would then present him with a handmade invitation to a royal tea party with Jackie and their stuffed animals or something, and from there they would just become best friends.

Fangirl moment alert! Kindly stay away if u hate jinako or karjina or shipping in general!
An official art/main visual art by namgoreng for the upcoming winter FGO con that created a blaze on the shipping side of the fandom earlier⌠because pako also tweeted his personal insight on it a couple of times:
1. He finds it cool to see the bros on a carousel (arjuna on a horse), but he also made a special note that the fact karna is riding a statue (elephant) and wearing a ribbon makes him grin happily (nikkori).
2. namie replied that theyâre happy that pako noticed those details, and added that they (the bros) are on competitive carousel racing(???)
(tho clearly only arjuna cares lol)
3. pako replied that â(karna would say) âI feel blessedâŚâ and also would be amazed at the elephantâs slowness.â
Needless to say, this has reignited some fandom debates lmaoÂ
PS: itâs difficult to translate Pakoâs responses at times because his tweets have a very informal/personalized structure and speech pattern lol
PPS: i am surprised how much the indian gang are featured in the newer events lately, either in craft essences, interlude, or as enemy- especially ganesha since sheâs very new. either indo gang makes money, or if thereâs a story purpose)
