Recommended Type-Moon Fanfics Discussion II: Electric Boogaloo

[Gray]

+1 to Fight/Knight by Tobias
+1 to the never going to be finished Ever Distant Utopia by Elf

[Hymn of Ragnarok]

Shirou curses every now and then. At least in the English translation. Bullshit, fuck, etc.

First one there has completely slipped from my memory then. I think I remember damn, but don't know.

But I'm pretty sure he doesn't swear casually. When he does shit has not only hit the fan, a septic tank has burst clean open and you are now neck deep in shit.

I only remember him really swearing with the "fuck that" towards not following through with saving Sakura at the end of Heaven's Feel, and IIRC someone said that was a mistranslation. I do remember at "shit!" or two in Fate, but that's really about it.

Im giving Broken Steel a -1 I think it would have worked better if it was longer and had more depth

I noticed he cursed a lot more in HF than in the other routes.

[eddyak]

Japanese doesn't have any actual curses, does it?

[Five_X]

HF had more swearing so that people would truly understand that it's meant to be fuckin' edgy as fuck. Fuck.

[Kirby]

IIRC, the things that end up being translated as curses are more often just rude ways of saying "you".

It has idiot. I think it has retard.

And then just varying levels of unpoliteness.



Take it away, people who actually know Japanese!

AFAIK, there are insults that don't have the same connotations as curses in other languages.

Now that I've actually read it, and because Christemo is a dumbotron OP who cannot deliver, I'd like to make a recommendation for Fragile Thing:

After suffering tragedy, Tohno Shiki has rejected his name and accepted his violent nature. Now Nanaya Shiki, an assassin-for-hire, he lives up to his growing reputation as the Satsujinki. But karma catches up to him, and with the aid of an alchemist - among other shady figures, he must go down a bloody path of no return to rescue one of the few people in his life that he cares for.

The story's prose is brutally visceral, emotionally blunt and raw. Darkly fascinating and uncomfortably human in the way that only front row seats in the mind of a murderously unrepentant psychopath can be. Fragile Thing's actual story has only really just begun, but it can carry itself through technical merit and atmosphere alone. The use of underutilized characters in fanwork such as Sion and would-be Tsuki II characters also helps it in its atypical story.

curtis mancannon, if you're reading this - we can't get more fast enough.

When Irun writes a rec, he really writes a rec.

[Rafflesiac]

I honestly don't recall if I've +1'd Fragile Thing already. I think I have.

But in case I haven't: +1 to Fragile Thing.

You wouldn't have because it hadn't been recommended yet. Just upvoted without even a required synopsis because

Christemo is a dumbotron

[UnlimitedBladeWorks]

+1 to Fragile Thing and Role Revert

[Arashi_Leonhart]

There are things that can be translated as "damn" and "bastard" and "shit" and the like, but it isn't the actual word that's considered rude, it's the style of speaking. People will be about as scandalized by Ryougi talking like a man as they would be people saying "Shit!"

Tsukihime: Realistic
A piece of provocative fiction our intrepid author herein presents, with the intent outright stated to be the intimate enhancement of Tsukihime in a fashion approximating reality with far more veracity than the pungent prose of Nasu. Accompany yourselves with a realistic and masculine Shiki who assimilates his sublunary desires and knowledge in clear harmony with those realistic, masculine obligations of our own world. Unfathomably distinguished in juxtaposition to the ephemeral predecessor and autochthonous work by Nasu and his unworkably quixotic appeal to readers.

+1, I say.

You hurt my feelings IRUN. Come play Cards with us again ;_;

Regardless, +1 to Fragile thing

This is the crackiest crack I ever did crack. How do you even get the idea to write something like this?

[Bloble]

Realistic Tsukihime is funny, but I feel it lacks the spark that truly makes it good. I need to watch more Darkplace before being able to give it a +1.

For now, +0. A neutral, from me.
