[You]

I mean, it's a sword, it's not like it was a rocket launcher. I'm pretty sure an A-ranked attack with a toothpick would've still just made a small hole.

It's like when you get an A but your asian parents are like "I can't believe you got any of these questions wrong"

A metaphor for the hole in my heart

Glad that my parents aren't like that, but I still strive to memorize the multiplication table from 1 - 10 by Grade 2.

And memorizing it while eating is a part of my study. I didn't know at that time that it's not normal for someone to do it that way.

On to thoughts...

Re - watching Kara no Kyoukai now made sense of what I didn't understand last time.

Like the time how those 4 hoodlums that Shiki slashed over and over are related to the Bloodchip case.

Fate's Gilgamesh has all the world's treasures. Eiyuu Senki's Gilgamesh also has all the world's treasures. Eiyuu Senki's Gilgamesh's treasures include apparently very strong aphrodisiac. Does Fate's Gilgamesh also have very strong aphrodisiac?

It has the world's first aphrodisiac, I'd assume.

[Laserman]

This had to be shared.

[Arha]

Was that made as part of some contest to make Mordred look as stupid as possible? Because it earns a solid 8 at least if so.

[pinetree]

They're supposed to be mechas I think.

[AmADo VII]

so no Arthur riding 'Lancelot' joke?

[Leftovers]

TIL that when both Shikis were hospitalised in the beginning of Tsukihime and Void Shrine they had their newly death-perceptive eyes examined by a neurologist called Ashika (芦家). Pretty neat. I bet he was at Origa too.

[Dullahan]

hmmmm

芦家 = ashika = can also be read as ASHIYA

abe no seimei. 921-1005. onmyouji. his legendary rival ASHIYA DOUMAN [蘆屋道満]

ASHIYA = 蘆屋 : ASHI = 蘆

this character 蘆 has a simplified form which is 芦

WHICH IS THE ASHI IN 芦家

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Rafflesiac]

Is this the part where I dash your excitement by pointing out the latest FGO Alter Ego?

[Dullahan]

what meagre scraps of excitement I sometimes manage to sustain can be easily dashed by the mere recollection of the fact that FGO exists, let alone any specific detail of it

[asterism42]

So apparently, Last Encore has the titbit that being a Demi Servant is normally too much for a normal hooman and they'll melt or smth from too much power, unless they are specially designed to be a vessel (presumbly alluding to Mashmallow).

Nice, Fate offered an in-universe explanation of the spontaneous self combustion phenomena. It's actually Frederick II's stableboy or something trying really really hard to get inside you.

typemoon made me study sumerian language
FGO mats already mentions it, but it really was fun finding what the words mean

For Angalta Kigalshe, -gal is the suffix that means "great" or "grand" in english, -ta means from, and -sh(e) means to, while An and Ki respectively is the personification of sky and earth itself and suimultaneously the name of the 2 first born god. So it literally means from the great heaven to the great earth.

With Kur Kigal Irkalla, its interesting because i found out that Kur can mean many things. It can mean the underworld, it can mean mountain, it can mean land, and it even got syncretized (YEAHHHH) with Tiamat herself on the Babylonian terms. I take it TM is going for the mountain meaning due to the NP title. Kigal is same as above, while Irkalla is originally Ereshkigal's other name, which then got synchronized as the name of the underworld itself. Doesnt seem like it contain any declension on the nouns, so im guessing theyre after "mountain of the underworld of the great earth", or something along the lines?

Ereshkigal also apparently literally means queen of the great earth. so i suppose each time we call her eresh we literally call her queen.

at any rate, it was a really awesome TIL, so i thought id share it.
unless people already know about it

[Iceblade44]

Very neat Castor, this truly is some interesting stuff

[hayate]

Great info...

Bless your rolls.

Was looking through the "submit the strongest servant thread" and came across something I thought was kinda funny

Well, if i had to create a new servant, or would be given the opportunity, i would love to see Kiritsugu as servant.
Considering what he did and what kind of life he lived, more importantly, that he basically won the holy grail war, makes him pretty eligible for beeing a servant in my eyes.

Let's disregard the (not-so) incidental points about Kiritsugu's total lack of capability and his fame and everything else. Let's just get down to it.

The heroic spirits are summoned. The most recent from a hundred years ago, the oldest from the ancient days.

It's not happening. Stop.

FGO truly trumps all
