Common TM Fanon and Misconceptions

[Mcjon01]

It’s still referring to it as an authority or so, when the Root is anything but that that.

well technically it is everything but you know what I mean.

And yeah, it’s not as dumb, but probably because it’s part of an official work and is being used once in a moment that could be glossed over easily.

How is it any different from in the name of the moon I will punish you

[Rafflesiac]

Case Files isn't Prisma Illya

[fumei]

Why are people acting like this "by the root" thing is the downfall of typemoon

[Dullahan]

because things being "official" doesn't make them any less stupid

[jennajayfeather]

No no, the idea that they treat it as an authority, like an individual much like God, is what’s silly.

it has no will like God does. Void Shiki herself is proof of how it has no will or interest at all.

To mages it may as well be God. Its the thing they dedicate their life for. As tacky as it sounds on the paper, it honestly makes sense.

[fumei]

No but the way it's talked about makes it sound like this in particular is the last straw, the thing that pushed TM over the edge of the trash-cliff, what changed peoples' opinions from "I like this" to "I can't believe they've done this"

like calm down jeez

[jennajayfeather]

I mean iirc someone left due to Fou being Primate Murder so something as trivial as this could easily be the last straw /rofl

[Dullahan]

once upon a time there was a notorious fanfic writer who had characters say things like 'by the root'. this was, of course, retarded. now, ten thousand years later, tm has by pure coincidence all but made that canon. it is still retarded. the coincidence however has elicited a certain perplexed amusement which to some degree conditions our undiminished recognition that yep it's still retarded.

[fumei]

Alright fine, it makes a bit more sense in context, but still

[Mcjon01]

How sure are we they don't mean "in the name of" in the "for the sake of" sense

[Reign]

How sure are we they don't mean "in the name of" in the "for the sake of" sense

That's how I took it.

[Kotonoha]

Yeah since breaking secrecy makes reaching the root harder I think it makes sense for the association to claim to be acting on the root's behalf when charging people with that crime.

As opposed to GB style just swearing on the root as a random exclamation even though case files itself establishes that magi can still just say fuck.

I mean you wouldn't open an official document with "holy shit dude"

[Dullahan]

Official Notice of Bruh Moment

[asterism42]

Honestly, it just sounds like a stock phrase that the MA uses to start official documents and proclamations and whatnot

the 1st stage: Denial

[Inuhanyou]

why are people so disgruntled about the by the root phrase. nobody should be surprised that the thing mages have on their mind 247 is apart of their vernacular

[Deathhappens]

People swear by things they consider sacred, important, or just impactful

this is not in any way unusual, retarded, or bad writing

By the Buddha's toenail and Arceus' left bollock, get over it

[eddyak]

Everything is Fate, and if it isn’t, it exists solely to tie into FGO, like as an event or something.

Change my mind

#dullahanwasright

Tsuki & Mahoyo still haven't, which gives me hope that you are wrong.

[warellis]

Isn't Mahoyo probably in a Fate world, considering Alice's house is where the Tohno mansion would be in Misaki in Tsukihime?

[Magikewl]

Smh forgetting Cock Robin has been in FGO since launch
