R-18-ish question:

Spoiler:

In Heaven's Feel's True Route, Sakura has been transferring her surplus energy to Shirou for half a year, and she feels they've been doing it too much. Is there something about their constitutions that keeps her from being impregnated, or is it just chance or Magus contraceptives or something?

[neveron]

well, Shirou's a robot at that point (but also a lifelike touko-bot so, y'know)

but also sometimes that just happens, especially if the plot demands it

[eddyak]

I remember something in HF about the worms eating reproductive bits, but I could be mistaken.

Look, you don't actually know if you can H doujin Touko that way

[Rafflesiac]

Didn't the worms eat her placenta?

From Interlude 7-1:

Spoiler:

Once swarmed by these lust worms, men will have their spine crushed, brain sucked, and will be made into a cripple.
The worms will transform when attacking a woman, so that they are only able to violate her nerves. They will spread their tentacles all over her body and devour her spirit.

The lust worms will wet the woman's skin with their mucus, excite and destroy her central nerves of pleasure, and satisfy their hunger.
It must be their instincts, as the worms seem to love the woman's womb. They do not eat female flesh, but seek the organs within them.

They give the woman huge enough orgasms to fry her brain, and they go into her body to devour her placenta.
Unwilling to eat human flesh, the worms have only one way to get what they desire.
As a result, the woman's mind and body are completely violated and destroyed.
The name "lust worm" must come from such characteristics.

Actually, how can they get a placenta if the woman's body isn't pregnant?

[Menwearpink]

Maybe its some fetus abortion vore stuff.

[Deathhappens]

Let's put as much thought into it as Nasu did, which is to say, next question.

Probably because Nasu doesn't even into biology, possibly because she was (Shinji doesn't seem like the type to be considerate of such things)

[Herod]

All FSN uses "placenta" instead of "womb" sistematically. I don't know if it's a japanese thing or just a synecdoche

その子宮が好物である。肉を好まない淫虫が子宮に至る道は一つである。脳神経を焼ききるほどの快楽を与えな がら胎盤を食い尽くす。

"as we know, the only way to get to the womb (without eating through the flesh) is to go through the placenta" - teenage nasu giving a presentation in high school biology, c. 1987

i was thinking how Gilgamesh likes to incentivize people to understand themselves, as well as the shape that their souls truly have.

Given that a reality marble is the enactment of aspects of the soul into the physical world, would someone who went through the Gil training regimen have an easier time obtaining a reality marble than someone who didnt?

[madarra]

Shirou's RM is "the shape of his soul" other RMs are just whatever the owner wanted at the time of making it.
In the case of servants its whatever the grail(author) decided to give them for the sake of the illusion of balance.

[Menwearpink]

You gotta learn to magic real well and work towards reality marble stuff so.

Dont think Gil yelling at you to become a uberman will get you a thousand blades unknown to life nor death.

[Hawkeye]

Pretty sure if that's what Gil wanted from you, that's exactly what you'd get. XD

But I digress. I thought, as a magic, the entire point of a reality marble was to bring one's inner world, out and temporarily paste it over reality. So like, magery ones that need chants and shit would all be the shape of the soul, but for servants you get stuff like Ionian Hetairoi and Aestus Domus Aurea which are mechanically similar, but differ in fundamental principle since those aren't Iskandar or Nero's soul.

[Deathhappens]

A Reality Marble is always a direct manifestation of your "inner world' on the "outside world". That's how it works, you essentially swap your "outside" with the "inside" to form a Boundary Field that's the size of an entire world but still enclosed within the "real" world (where the Counter Force strives to crush it, hence the huge mana expenditure). They're typically related to Elementals and Demons because in order to form one in the first place you need to actually have an inner self with a completely alien view of the world. You don't really get to choose what shape your inner world takes, and as charismatic as Gil is there's no way he could talk someone into warping their soul to that extent.

Aestus Domus Aurea isn't a Reality Marble, it's just a Bounded Field using High Thaumaturgy that "comes very close " to being one. Ionian Hetairoi gets a pass because it isn't really Alexander's own Reality Marble; it's the Reality Marble of him and all ten thousand of his followers inside it.

And to answer the original question, no, there's no way Gil would make it easier for someone to obtain a Reality Marble. Shirou forged Unlimited Blade Works back in the great fire of Fuyuki when walking among the dead and the dying. But he could probably help someone into realising their Reality Marble (what happens in the end of the Fate Route when Shirou figures out he doesn't need to pull weapons out of UBW, he can just bring UBW into being).

the whole warped soul/alien view stuff is some old ass fanon tbh.

Takes a lot of years to study to learn how to do, and it might not even be useful/you might not really be compatible with that sort of study either way. Probably.

It's not fanon though.

Reality Marble [Unusual talent]
Intrinsic Field.
Originally referred to the alien common sense possessed by the beings called devils, but now also includes the unique boundary fields possessed by many people.

A subset of marble phantasm, it erodes reality and gives form to the user's imagined world. It is the sorcery closest to magic, and a forbidden art within the Association.
Unlike marble phantasm, however, the form of a reality marble cannot be freely adjusted. It is the manifestation of the user's one-and-only self, after all, so changing it with their will is impossible.

…Properly speaking, reality marbles are only supposed to be used by elementals and devils, but given enough time it is possible for some advanced practitioners to complete a sorcery to give shape to their personal imagined world and create a reality marble of their own.

[AAM1232]

It's not fanon though.

But that says nothing about needing an alien common sense or whatever? Only that stuff like Devils had that and the category now includes stuff mages/people make using their inner worlds. Especially strange to say this when Shirou's UBW is due to his Origin and Alignment both being 'Sword' per CM, with no mention of any alien common sense for him.

as charismatic as Gil is there's no way he could talk someone into warping their soul to that extent.

"He has the highest rank of Charisma with the influence to build a grand empire on a global scale. He is often praised as the greatest king, so his ability to command and lead great armies is excellent. Being such a rare talent, with even a B rank being sufficient enough to lead a nation, his A+ rank makes it no longer a matter of popularity or skill, but closer to something like sorcery or curse."


tell that to Richard. those bards fucked his soul up hard. Curses can do a lot
