Actually, I believe the better idea here would be to just drop the topic, since making another thread for it will just end up as a repeat of previous events.

So, please, let's just move on to another topic.

Works for me.

So... back to things that annoy people in Fanfiction?

Repeat the war cliché (Not in the sense of pre fate but post) and the keeping Ilya a child thing, look I get it that her body is messed up but when it can reasonably be fixed then just do it.

Wanting to repair Ilya's body is a canon revisionism which I oppose.

Why? We know it's possible to do such things, because Shirou gets a puppet body at the end of HF, and the impression I get from what she says in HF is that Ilya's problem is with her body and not her soul, so she should be able to get a "proper" body and grow into a true adult.

Nasu also does hint at the idea of Ilya finding a way to survive post-Fate in the Hot Springs episode, so it's not really "canon revisionism" to do so. Nasu himself never ruled it out.

I simply don't want any risk of flanderizing her into second Iri, because Iri is boring.

I think that having her as an eternal child would be even worse, honestly. It prevents her having much if any character development, because everyone will always see her as a little kid.

And, actually, Ilya is probably more mature than Iri is. She still acts somewhat childish, yes, but she shows she is capable of being serious when necessary.

Iri is a bit dull but then fate zero was as a whole imo. Prequels suck the fun out. And want Ilya to have a body is not revisionism, it's progression, if she lives then making her body work normally is honestly a matter of course, if not, well, enjoy your dead loli I guess.

She is a homunculus, so she never will be.

That's not really true. Sure, she's never going to just be a normal human, but nor are Rin or Sakura. That doesn't mean she can't have a reasonably "normal" life.

So telling the truth and being rational about it is a horrible thing?

Ilya is pretty much fated to die young. That's a given.
