The Type-Moon Miscellaneous Thoughts Thread

[LegalLoliLover]

Well, I was deciding whether to post that here or on the Star Wars thread.

[hayate]

Even though I was busy dealing with the aftermath, I was taken to London's clock tower.

And that's how the one-man court started, in a meeting room that could hold three hundred people.

There were heads of every department, along with magi who wanted the Tohsaka family's rights once I'd been sentenced. It was more of a circus than a trial.

'Oh man, I guess this is it for me. I should run to the Middle East where they're against the Association, or fight until the very end in Japan.'

I was determined and was even making my escape plans, but there were people that wanted to save me while there were people who wanted to kill me.

In the face of everyone's condemnation,

"Well. The carelessness of my apprentice is my responsibility."

The old man, who slightly outranked all who were present, appeared and nullified all the charges against me.

It's not that the he took the blame in my place.

It's give and take.

Out of everything he could have done,

"All right. Then I shall take apprentices. I will teach up to three students. All the departments are to select prospects in a conference."

he dropped a bombshell.

I mean, a long-missing sorcerer appeared, and said he'd take apprentices on top of it.

The whole place became a riot.

Completely forgetting about me, everyone ran to their departments, panicking over who should be selected.

And he came to me, who was standing there dumbfounded, and smiled.

Feels peculiarly like an Order of the Phoenix reference.

Wow, nice. Please give me the link to that one.

Ah, right. should have known from the quote...

Since I thought of it as a Clock Tower 2015 short story, but part of my mind says that it's a quote taken from HF route.

Didn't believe that instinct until you sent me that link.

Yes I was. Shinbutsushugo doesn't have the feng shui stuffs from Chinese folk religion at all so the fact that it being mentioned there is the clear indication that I was not talking about shinbutsushugo which covers Shinto and Buddhism. And where are the Chinese folk religion stuffs? Some from her dialogue, some from her CCC SG3.

how someone talks and the analogies they make aren't who they are
even in the internet age.

And unless you can literally summon them from thin air like Nobu does, rows of muskets aren't going to be very effective in one-on-one duels, which is how Jedi generally fight.

Against Jedi of a certain caliber, they aren't going to be very effective even on the battlefield. Remember the ending of "Rogue One"?

Still have no clue what your point is all this time when You constantly quoting me but if your intention is just trolling or throwing jabs at me then I'll just ignore all of this.

What I was replying to Laserman is simply "why are you only annoyed with just Buddhism references for a character when the character in question, being inspired by combination of various religions, has references to all of those religions?". And look at what he replied to me, he got what I mean while You did not. How You saw that as me talking about shinbutsushugo is beyond me tbh.

[You]

Your statement above is that she's made up of three religions.
But it goes beyond those three separate religions, and more into how they've been blended together in the japanese religious conciousness because of shinbutsushugo and the syncretism of shinto and buddhism.
Even if you have grasp of buddhism and shinto you might not grasp the information about tamamo or raikou or many other japanese servants.

[Lily Emilio]

Your statement above is that she's made up of three religions.

Plus feng shui. Which means there are references to all of those 3 religions + chinese folk religion coming from Tamamo, be it her lore pages or her random references in her dialogues. Izanagi/Izanami references of Shinto, yellow emperor and huxian of chinese folk religion...etc. Therefore I expected Laserman to also be annoyed about the Shinto, Hinduism, feng shui references (considering she spammed a bunch of those during her route in Extella - the game he also played) instead of just Buddhism, so I asked him out of curiosity. He then replied that all references of those religions annoyed him cuz it's overwhelming. My question was answered.

But it goes beyond those three separate religions, but more into how they've been blended together in the japanese religious conciousness because of shinbutsushugo and syncretism of shinto and buddhism.

Yes that is a thing, but that's totally unrelated to my point towards Laserman, You see. It's more of extra information in the background of Shinto x Buddhism. And since I already knew all of that, your reply made me scratch my head wondering what was that for.

[You]

I guess it's because you put buddhism and hinduism together and put (India) in parenthesis.
If you talked to an indian buddhist about some of the buddhim stuff in GO I bet they would be scratching their head because of how it's been married into Shinto in the Japanese culture. But if you talked to a japanese buddhist they'd probably be fine.

[Lily Emilio]

The parenthesis is just me noting the countries where those particular religions originated from. I thought it would look excessive if I wrote "Buddhism (India) and Hinduism (India)".

Named characters are always stronger than generics. Back during the Battlefront demo, the lightsaber-wielding Grievous was actually easier for me, a clone trooper, to defeat than the blaster-wielding droids.

You know I tried looking it up after seeing a Mordred Saber Lion but I'm surprised I can't find any Saber Lion Alter art.
