thank you so much for telling the story of Van Gogh to all the Fgo players. He's easily my favorite artist of all time and his story never fails to intrigue me, even if the Fgo version of Van Gogh isn't actually him.

[@Voself]

There are many that say Van Gogh’s death was not suicide but him covering for a kid playing cowboy so that he wouldn’t be a murder.

[@belphy205]

I heard a different reason for Van Gogh’s death. That some children were playing with a gun and accidentally shot Van Gogh. Clytie Van Gogh is adorable and people can’t change my mind

[@madambutterfly1997]

His brother had died of a broken heart like a year or two after Van Gogh died

[@lightningmaster3383]

Not even a full year. Theo died just SIX MONTHS after Vincent.

[@banbowyt8945]

Whenever I rewatch that Dr Who scene with Van Gogh a tear or two always leaves me. Likewise Imaginary Scramble is by far my favorite event on Fgo with a large part because of Van Gogh and Nemo.

[@johnmattson8280]

Tony Curran did such a great job in that episode that you feel how haunted Van Gogh was and when they take him to the present, its such a wonderful scene. Finally hearing all the rest of his setbacks, it makes you feel for the man and how hard it was.

[@marlonyo]

Hste that i missed it because i was not yet there in the story

[@Airdeis]

I know the general gist of Van Gogh's life story, but hearing it in full like that was fantastic, and that final quote from Van Gogh unexpectedly struck a deep cord in me that I had to take a minute to recover.

[@MoonlightReaper14]

Wow... this story is... jesus... now I get why the servant Van Gogh is so depressed and at times crazy... I have no words on how sad his tale really is. At least Theo loved him like a brother

[@michaelmcdoesntexist1459]

It seems the bullet failed to hit Vincent's heart but it surely pierced Theo's... First time I'm crying with a FGOtuber. His life was so tragic. He was sick, he needed help but one person, however kind they are, can only do so much when the world keeps kicking you in the face. I'm sure he would prefer a happy live over the admiration and fame he Goght posthumously...

[@Solqueen86]

Fun fact you can make the hardest man cry watching the ending to the Van Gogh episode in Doctor Who. No context no explaintion the emotion of how sad this man's life was in a 3 min video always cracks men

[@cloudstasis3463]

Fun fact: His youngest brother, Cor van Gogh, emmigrated to South Africa looking to get lucky off gold-mining. He also fought in the Anglo-Boer war on the side of the boers and after getting captured by the British and falling ill, he shot himself. Unfortunately no South African Fate characters yet, but I'd love it if you ever get to talk about some South African Historical figures and history one day

[@unitcharles8278]

Im not sure that Nzambi from Reqiuem is south or north. But she literally god from Africa

[@cloudstasis3463]

@unitcharles8278 Had to check to make sure and looks like they're mainly central african and show up in some southern parts so close atleast, theres also the flying dutchman that apparently shows up in requiem, but unfortunately no playable servants

[@AlmaNegra7101]

Vincent one of, if not the greatest artist of all, with a tragic life and story When I watch Doctor Who I always see that van Gogh scene and I always cry with it

[@whichhatte-persomi]

I was lucky to see his Bedroom in Arles painting in highschool and later visit Beyond Van Gogh exhibit. His artwork is achingly beautiful despite all of his troubles. It truly is a sad story of a man who just wanted to be recognized. The song Vincent by Don McLean shares exactly how I feel, and I encourage people to listen to it.

[@Itachi45481]

Sad tale but we will always remember as he was the best and will never be forgotten

[@Pakunn10]

His story is such a sad one and one I had not entirely known parts of until now so thank you for articulating the story of the prolific artist's tragic life to everyone. I have always loved the artworks of his that I've seen and when I saw he was introduced into fgo I knew it would be a servant I wanted to obtain and happy to say I did, nemo didn't go so well but that is another story, and I actually think that fate actually did a decent job into making the servant even though many may not particularly like the fate version and even I was taken back when I first saw that in fate he was made to be a young female servant but knowing the class was foreigner and the oddities of that class I was able to accept it and after using her in game definitely can say that I enjoy her.

[@matthewmcafee2957]

Yes actually, since the practice was "you checked yourself in when you weren't well", you could check yourself out when ever you want.

[@KurageHimari]

She's my favorite servant in the game and the reason I still play to this day with such passion. I watched both your Foreigner video and this one, and you do a really good job of telling both Clytie's myth and Vincent's biography. I really appreciate it, as Vincent is also my favorite artist. However, I would have loved if you spent a bit of this video (because this one is specific to Van Gogh while the other is for every foreigner so you have to cut short) talking about Clytie Van Gogh as a character. The relationship she has with Vincent's mind and memories, starting by trying convincing herself and the others she IS Vincent, then blooming as she ascends and goes through a journey of pain, intrusive thoughts, destruction upon others and herself, and self isolation into the Void Sea, as she thinks she should stay there and not be a burden to anyone else. This is also where the Outer Gods part comes in, as they try to exploit her powers and nature, with Vulthoom kind of appropriating her body but ultimately failing at it. She is rescued by Chaldea's crew, with Nemo, Yang and Fran playing a very important role for her salvation. After being rescued, she is accepted by others but most importantly by herself: she is both Clytie and Vincent, so she calls herself Clytie Van Gogh from that point onward. She goes through a character growth that fits both of them. Her design doesn't stop the symbolism at the sunflowers: the whole jellyfish motive she has, and the lines about how she sees Master as "the sun in the sky" while she is "the moon in the sea", is because "kurage" (japanese for jellyfish) is written with the "moon" and "sea" characters. The moon shines only reflecting the light of the sun, much like a sunflower only blooms because of it.

[@avizvit9932]

Something i noticed after untold hours of staring at my grailed Van Gogh while she kills the enemies: In ascension 1 she is trying to be Van Gogh, that's why she is wearing boyish clothes and has the sunflower. In ascension 2 she is trying to be Clytie, that's why she is wearing a feminine dress and is accompanied by the jellyfish while the sunflower theme is very muted. Ascension 3 is the synthesis, with the Sunflower and the Jellyfish themes mixed ( There's a sunflower behind her head, but it has tendrils ).

[@KurageHimari]

@@avizvit9932 More than trying to be Clytie alone, I think that 2nd ascension is Clytie's body itself telling her "you aren't Vincent and you know it", especially because in Imaginary Scramble it triggers after you go around the Nautilus with her and have fun. She starts thinking if she deserves to be happy when she's just faking her whole self, and the intrusive thoughts have the best of her, turning her like that. It can also be compared to Vincent's own self destructing episodes. That's why I think no ascension of her is just one or the other, every single one of her forms is her, the only thing changing is how she perceives herself and who does she want to be

[@dannytonkes9061]

since you made a behind the servant of Vincent van Gogh can you please also do the other half of FGO van Gogh and make a behind the servant of the water nymph Clytie?

[@klidge]

I did! It’s in the Foreigners video I forgot to link but will link to the video now

[@lovingfool2060]

If people are interested I'd also recommend checking out windagoons video on Van Gogh, exploring some additional context around his death and the possibility of it being a murder , fascinating stuff.

I don't have many thoughts to share other than this: I wish i could give him a hug.

[@avizvit9932]

You forgot to mention the story of Van Gogh gifting one of his paintings to one of the many health professionals that took care of him, only for the guy to think the painting was such trash that he used it to fix a chicken coop.

[@weebaliba8589]

Was that particular painting ever recovered Or was it disposed of?

[@avizvit9932]

@@weebaliba8589 It was recovered, this happened almost right before he died so he was becoming famous already. Someone tracked down the doctor and brought it from him.

Van Gogh is a really interesting artist and his works are very beautiful. I really wanted to roll Van Gogh in FGO but she wouldn't come home lol Though I do really wish that they did Van Gogh better in FGO. Made him the actual Van Gogh and still keep the tie in with Lovecraftian lore because I think that's perfect. The whole greek nymph and gender bend felt so very unnecessary and ruins the servant for me a little.

Van Gogh probably had schizoaffective disorder, aka schizophrenic bipolar disorder. I have heard from other people (and to a lesser degree, myself) that alcohol calms down the overactive mind. Of course, we need to drink more each time to regain this state, hence alcoholism.

[@twonk2434]

Wait I thought Van Gohg died from a group of kids who shot him by accident, and then he later said he did it to himself in order to protect them. Cause wasn't there some debate on if it was possible for him to do it to himself because of the angle of the bullet or something?

[@klidge]

That account was first attested to 63 years after his death by an innkeepers daughter. Accounts given that late are dubious at best. Not to say it isn’t possible but as of right now the most agreed upon account is suicide.

[@CripplingDepression]
