The Type-Moon Miscellaneous Thoughts Thread

With Bloodfort, isn't it Shinji who forces Rider to activate it in Fate and UBW? As for HF, she felt a genuine threat to Sakura's life from Archer and Rin, such that it'd better to put Sakura into a coma than to let her die. Lesser of two evils sort of thing.

However, if she had other means of protecting Sakura that didn't involve risking Sakura, I'm sure she'd have taken them. But I see that whole mess as something similar to Caster in that even if she wanted to do something in a better way, her nature/abilities don't allow for that to happen.

And the Darkness from Monogatari series will come if she contradicted her own Alignment. O.O

So I am browsing the internet with my eyes half open when something made my eyes open wide:

Fate/Zero: The reason behind the beautiful animations is that the creator was promised not only a bonus for extra effort put in from the animations team, but also sex from his director! Guess who got laid?

You know how Santa gives bad kids coal. Why is Santa giving them parts of a dragon corpse?
Also the war for oil in the middle east is a war for dead dragon. Wow this brings a new perspective on life.

[Kirby]

Would you want a corpse for Christmas?

[Mcjon01]

You know just because dragons turned into natural resources doesn't mean that all natural resources come from dragons.

[Kirby]

Dinosaurs are kinda like dragons

[Mcjon01]

Plankton are a lot less like dragons. Not really sure where peat falls.

I know but it must be nice going to a petrol station and being like "maybe a dragon died for this."

I just imagined this being said in a stoner's voice.

I sensibly chuckled.

[CG-3m1y4]

Actually, had anyone scanned those Fate/complete material v1 by Udon?

I'm a piss-poor T-M fan, and I honestly just wanted to have all those encyclopedias and funny interview translations instead of the images.

Jesus not only died for our sins, but ended Age of Gods so we could have some oil.

[aldeayeah]

So it seems someone posted T-M Ace Vol.3 scans in nyaa. Nostalgia trip.

Some of the MB stuff looks interesting.

[Altima of the Gates]

But her plans to 'save' Sakura always tend to have a result that would wind up screwing Sakura over anyway.

"I don't want Sakura to become a monster. Ergo, it's okay for me to help her eat the people she loves the most"

"I don't want Sakura to be harmed. Ergo, it's okay that she winds up in a coma, because she's not dead"

Her intentions don't quite meet her methods. A part of HF was here coming to realize that her methodology wasn't entirely correct, which is why she saved Shirou when Sakura was going crazy in the yard on day 12, saying sbe did it because of Sakura's last command spell to protect Shirou (when we know that commands without a strict guideline can be ignored by the Servant). That was her turning point.


And there was that whole part in Hollow where she needed to be reminded of why she accepted the summoning when she had her own freak out. You should read it, it does help you understand her better.


To put their relationship in simple terms though, it's the blind leading the blind. She still has her own mistrust of humans, and her wanting to save Sakura is primarily self-satisfaction. She still has her own issues. Just because you find a kindred spirit doesn't mean you are the best person to help them.

She is literally a nature spirit who came to favor a human. You've seen plenty of stories where that doesn't always work out well.

Give alignments to the non-Servant characters of Fate.

[SeiKeo]

Well, Shirou is fire? And I guess Sakura is water.

[Vagrant]

I assumed more along the lines of Lawful Good or Neutral Evil or Chaotic Sword.

[Billy Kid]

Give alignments to the non-Servant characters of Fate.

It has been done a couple of times already. Or do you want Nasu to give alignments to puny humans of Fate? Coz that guy has a weird understanding of that D&D concept.
Let's forget major characters and roll with secondaries. Rin's school buddies: Ayako - Neutral Good, Makidera - Chaotic Good/Neutral, that glasses chick with grey hair - Lawful Neutral/True Neutral, that timid chick - Neutral Good.

[Siriel]

Or perhaps alignments aren't just a D&D concept.

[Kirby]

I, personally, quite like SMT's Light/Dark/Law/Chaos system, but D&D alignments are fine too.

Isn't they basically the same thing?
