Happy 牛, Yeah!

For the past year, the pandemic has brought much inconvenience and misfortune to Earth, forcing Humanity to cower in fear and anguish for the majority of the moons past.

Enough with scurrying around hiding in holes like a Metal Rodent, it’s time for us to diligently work our way towards a future full of prosperity like a Metal Ox.

Speaking about pigs, of course our Caster of Okeanos won’t hesitate to enjoy the occasion with her horde of cute swine, and a banquet of a party.

For the uninitiated and those unfamiliar with the language, in the Chinese Fate community, Astolfo is given a pet name and most affectionately referred to as 阿福. The character 福 itself means good fortune. The term 福从天降 from the post title means “fortune falls from the sky” literally, which is translated as “may good fortune be blessed upon thee”.

Thus the pun with the trap above. XDc

The guilt of neglecting Ranka-chan for a long time now has finally caught up to me, so I guess I should let her come out of the closet and be the kanban musume this year in the celebration of this prosperous Lunar New Year. =w=

Tama-chan can just stay back, relax and enjoy the festive season this time…
