now with that in mind, if I wanted to draw a picture highlighting the difference between what saber wanted and she actually got, what I would have came up with and what ufo actually did would have been almost identical.
see how it fits together? Shirou is struggling with wanting to be a super hero and the reality of ended up archer. Saved is facing a similar existential crisis. further, saber is on both sides of the argument because her story in fate actually is both. Hang with me here.
saber's dream: become a perfect King and make everyone happy.
shirou's dream: people an ally of justice and make everyone happy.
now saber on the other side of the coin
saber's reality, and it's solution: use the holy grail and erase my attempt to become a perfect king
archer'a reality and its solution: kill shirou and erase my attempt to become an ally of justice.
so in my book the idea saber is randomly wool gathering about what life would be like as a baker or as a shepherdess just does not hold up. Because that's very notably nothing like what shirou is thinking about.
