Guda is honestly such a chaotic force of nature.
Servants are fully defined by their legends and interpretations. Vlad is a good example, since more people know him as the monster Dracula over the ruler of Wallachia, and as a result manisfests more as a vampire because of it. Servants are temporary existances created from expectation to serve as tools. Servants, Mages and even the Throne all agree to this. Servants aren’t people, they can’t be people because they are Heroes, they can’t be free.
And Guda steps all over that.
Guda takes these echoes of people and helps them become complete, lets them step out of their legends and enjoy new things that they couldn’t because they were always constrained by their duty.
And honestly, that’s probably what Romani saw in them. Why Romani believed so much that Guda would be able to save the world. Because Guda is a simple, pure hearted person that is able to bring out the best in others. Someone able to unite servants not because the mission was so important, but because the servants found the Master important. You can even see this in the Solomon raid cutscenes, where almost all the servants came to help solely because they liked you enough to do it.
Guda humanizes their servants, frees them to be more than just legends, and that’s why they can help you save the world against Goetia. Because the future could only be made by human hands.

Gudako: I scared them, didn’t I?
Enkidu: They’re terrified of you.
Gudako: *smiling* That makes me so happy.
feel free to tag or comment w/ ur own headcanons, i'm very curious
literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
I am so happy someone commissioned me to draw cool-looking Enkidu and Gudako
Gotta share it
one of the greatest tragedies in life is that you will always be loved more than you will ever know. someone in class finds your presence inviting and warm, even if you’ve only ever exchanged a few words with them—maybe none at all. someone on the street loves your smile and it gets them down the next few streets. someone you used to be friends with still wishes to fondly call your name. someone you used to be friends with five years ago would give anything to be in the same room as you today. someone who regularly comes into work is disappointed when you aren’t there to brighten their day. someone missed you today. someone noticed you were gone. someone loves you when you’re there; someone loves you when you’re nowhere to be found at all. you think you have always disappeared when you’re no longer in the picture, but you’ve never left the frame.
"you read a lot, right?"
"yes!"
"what are some books you've read recently?"
"uhh i don't remember"

ever notice how saucy Enkidu’s MyRoom lines sound?
Very brave of me to make a set of illustrations that's 90% hands
Anyway. This is about my personal theories/headcanons about the vision requirements
EDIT: I made a post elaborating on my theories/headcanons! Check it out if you wanna know a bit more :D
EDIT (again): Just so you know (bc ppl keep mentioning it in the tags), I am well aware Archons don't personally give out visions😅 The Archons' hands are supposed to be more symbolic, since it IS heavily implied they have a subconcious affect on who gets one, even if they don't actually have any active say in it
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME YOU'VE WATCHED THIS CARTOON TOO, IT'S MY PRIMARY SOURCE OF SEROTONIN
