What TM stuff are you reading/watching/consuming?

[Siriel]

Is being annoying a forum offense now? Because there are a lot of reports to be done if so.

Please clarify.

[Tobias]

All spends on if annoying is accidental or an outgrowth of being hostile.

[Historia]

But really, is Frosty female?

If so, then everything I know is a lie.

[You]

I also heard it was a manga? .

There's a manga and there is also a light novel. The manga is behind the light novel but they are being released "co-currently."

It's p. stressful tbh

Personally I don't even leave my room anymore because I kept realizing people were girls and it was interfering with my ability to work.

It's his unquenchable thirst you see

I think Shirou is repressing relatively normal levels of thirst to the point that he keeps springing leaks. But I could remain to be corrected.

unless frosty's vocaroos are a lie, frosty is male

[Siriel]

Thank you for clarifying.

who is sigma?
that's my question for this new SF volume coming out.

I really hope it's not some kiritsugu expy or like maiya's kid.
That would be bad.
Actually Maiya's kid might be okay.
Narita saving TM.

I also read the Fate/strange fake LN back in January or something, and I really loved it, but because I don't read Japanese or anything I was sort of ill-informed about the fact that it had been serialized/canonized. Now I've read up through the Gil/Enki fight that starts stuff off, but I literally don't know how it continues or if any more of it has been translated. I also heard it was a manga? But what I read wasn't a scanlation, just straight text. So I really like SF but I'm not as informed as I'd like to be. And when I asked about theorizing about who Caster was I was told everyone knows it's

Spoiler:

Dumas.

So I'd like to keep going on that but I don't know if as an English-only fan I can.

The manga... don't rely on the manga. That way you'll be pleasantly surprised when the next chapter comes out in 6 months.

The light novel translations here are a bit farther, IIRC. They went past Gil vs. Enkidu up to Hanza's introduction. Also there was a small thing from V2 about Hanza vs Jester.

This is a general thread, for people to post their thoughts on TM works as they consume them. For example, your thoughts as you play through Tsuki or F/SN, or as you watch through F/Z or KnK, or read through DDD or Mahoyo. And so on.

As for spoilers, in general newer things, especially those not completely translated (Mahoyo, CCC, and the like) should be tagged. In the case that, for example, someone's playing through F/SN for the first time and has yet to be spoiled, please be courteous and don't spoil them.

Really only F/GO, though I've been meaning to look into Apo and SF.

The limits of first-person narration probably play a part too, though I haven't read the VN in a while so I don't remember what exactly it was like. But there would likely be a conflict in the wanting to describe the details of the scene, versus what is mostly likely to be noticed by the first person narrator.

I like a lot of things that are aimed at young adults, but I think both western YA lit and this VN suffer from this. The limited perspective creates interesting space more misunderstandings and mystery, but it often creates this weird frustration with the narrator on the part of the reader.

[Kirby]

Honestly, I haven't read many YA novels unless Harry Potter counts, so I can't quite comment on that end :I

[Gl❀w]

basically the thing you need to just accept very early on in the f/sn vn is that shirou thinks with his dick.

[just Beamu]

You don't know that they aren't.

[SeiKeo]

You don't know that they aren't.

It's not random thoughts.

[Historia]

I tried to read F/SN but couldn't get past--I can't honestly remember (something something daily life in the emiya household something something Shirou: Cooking Mama something something).

Would fast forwarding through all of that cause me to miss anything important?

It depends on the scene. Some are completely frivolous besides establishing his stay-at-home character or interactions with others, some of them have exposition worked in.

What do you think? (No)

I mean, for his particular situation, I'm fairly sure he knows all the exposition already.

I haven't read that many, but I liked The Hunger Games but felt that their structural choices were a major mistake for the narrative that they were trying to tell. And I think that this might also apply in this situation at times.

Honestly, I think how long everything takes is what's causing me to have such a hard time getting through it, too. But on the other hand, I think that domesticity with characters and setting a baseline for what they value when their lives aren't in danger can be used to make it matter more when their lives are in danger. But Shirou's pathological fixation on food and Girls Being Girls is sort of exhausting when it's all in his head? It's not even that his repressed fluster is a bad thing to me, as a character trait, it's just that it keeps getting rambled about.
