OK U KNOW WHAT... i'm gonna do it right now!!! Ree's Kamadeva trivia thread !!! Because i need to bookmark stuff about them
this gif comes first. ilu kama
In the game, Kama's gender is set to "female" because of their human vessel, but they were originally a male god! The game+fgo mats also acknowledges this fact multiple times! So they are in fact: Genderfluid/Nonbinary/Genderless! Kamadeva says trans rights 
Tweet above is the reason why i use they/them when referring to Kama!! But honestly, i think they don't give a single fuck and use all of them
Bits of their interlude that i 
absolutely love and are so so good ...
Info above makes me so 
because Kama doesn't remember the love the ORIGINAL Kamadeva held for his wife and his bff, and the way they speak about them shows that they're secretly longing for them in a subtle way. They're half of the real deal, which explains the missing bits-

- in their memory when it comes to the LOVE Kama has for Rati and Vasanta but not the HISTORY they had with them. 
I hope that being in a positive environment will allow them to begin remembering and coping with this mysterious and complicated longing... GIVE THEM RATI NOW!!!

Also in relation to the tweets above!! But i want them to interact with Rama!! They were family in another life, so i'd love to see Rama actually reassure Kama about the whole Shiva thing and build bridges !! They need friends and Rama would be perfect for that

MY KAMA FANCAM !!! 
IM SORRY ITS NOT EVEN A TRIVIA THREAD ANYMORE https://twitter.com/ricoririsu/status/1297162156715184129?s=19
literally nothing, i just love these pictures in particular and you will look at them too
Interesting things Kama can do in Ooku! But in there, they're closer to the condition of a Beast which explains how overpowered this feels. Nonetheless, i believe that they're still capable of doing all of this!! BUT:
1) They need motivation to even do it. They're a prankster so i suppose pranks would be one of many options!
2) They need huge amounts of magic power, so probably magic materials? A whole grail perhaps ?
Since they're more Kama than Mara in Chaldea (6:4 ratio).

About Kama's Divine Core of The God of Love skill. It means that they also have the Divinity skill at rank B! OBVIOUS BUT INTERESTING and i wanna remember this
More skills !

Some additional info i've found from a professor and a priest who teaches abt Hinduism and also Kama in great detail <3 saving the link for myself!!! https://www.quora.com/q/hinduiconography/K%C4%81ma-Deva
KAMA FASHIONISTA AND ALCOHOL DRINKER SEND TWEET https://www.quora.com/Who-is-the-God-of-love-in-Hinduism
-> On the Six(?) Realms of Samsara which Kama reigns over https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-six-realms-of-Samsara
Found another book to read, although this one feels much more like an analysis rather than a fairytale:「God of Desire - Tales of Kamadeva in Sanskrit Story Literature」by Catherine Benton! A religious teacher. And it's SO GOOD!!!!!!!!! and answers SO MANY of my questions !!!
Book above is an absolute goldmine and associates Kamadeva both with his original stories and also the impact he has as a concept in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM AND ALSO KAMA'S IMPACT ON NON SEXUAL THEMES AS WELL... this is food for REE !!!!!!!!
Last post quoting book above but... man am i obsessed with quoting this book it's just so well written AND SHE'S DONE RESEARCH FOR AROUND 3 YEARS + as well as travelling to India and directly interviewing monks and teachers, she also included pics of temples... tysm maam..
From watching Kama's battle anims, we can see that they can:- make their Vajra float+control it telepathically+use it as a wpn (hot!)
- mold their fire into lasers and orbs and shoot them
- teleport
and all of this on a close radius suited for both melee and ranged battles
--> On the topic of their Vajra: quick comparison pictures ! It seems that when they attack with it, it also mixes THUNDER with their fire!!! which is an interesting point 
most certainly a reference to Indra since its his weapon!!!

--> ALSO THEY OFC USE THEIR BOW WHEN ATTACKING but only in their first 2 ascensions. The second one uses a mix of both their bow and Vajra !!
--> Interesting little thing: their second ascension holds the Vajra on a golden metallic chain, whereas the chain ended up in their hair in their third ascension!! I doubt its the same one but i like to think it is
--> More shots of them using their Vajra as a heavy tanky melee weapon for reference bc thats literally the hottest thing about them
just another screenie for further proof 
so u dont have any binery...? that is so cool... https://twitter.com/ricoririsu/status/1334608182296109057
