The Type-Moon Miscellaneous Thoughts Thread

[Dullahan]

increasingly convinced that enjou tomoe's ex-girlfriend is the key to all of this

[8000]

You’ll have to explain that one to me.

[All fictions]

Doesn't Waver or Reines also mention something about the Bermuda Triangle in Case Files?

Nah, it was Touko again. She compared it to Spirit Tomb Albion.

[Noa]

Clearly the Bermuda Triangle is from a giant kraken trying to swim to the inner sea, then.

Seriously though it probably is a place where inner sea arcane stuff "leaks out" or whatever the deeper you go, like in Albion.

[Rafflesiac]

the living reality marble known as the bermuda triangle is a pretender pretending to be foreigner amelia earhart

I thought textures weren't introduced till Apocrypha, but Rani sort of just namedrops them in CCC.

Although I'm not sure how textures would work in the Moon Cell.

[Paulie25]

We know that they were made up for Tsuki R so it’s not impossible that Nasu was hinting at the lore back then

[madarra]

I wonder if there’s any deeper reason for Nasu choosing it to be 17 pieces.

I think it’s just a nice number but it’s funny to think about.

cuz 7 was taken by Ciels pile bunker and 27 was taken by the DAA`s

[8000]

37 will have it's time in the sun in Tsukihime 2

[Mattias]

37 chunks of Arc Shiki has to recollect to save Satsuki.

[8000]

Andersen in CCC talking about the gulf between what writers want to write and what they have to write is particularly amusing to think about from Nasu's perspective.

Do you mean "the least thought out" in terms of their "background" and their abilities (Gilles having a random Prelati's Ctulhu magic book and Ryunoske being able to summon a Servant because he found a book with a spell by a chance), or their role in the overall plot?

These two things are interlinked.

Its a little more narratively contrived than by chance.
Murder was losing its luster for Ryuunosuke so the prodigal son decides to return to the home of his first murder victim, his sister. In the storehouse where he buried her body he finds the spellbook heralding from HGW2 (the implication here is that his ancestor participated in that Grail War). Incorporating the rituals in his murder makes the killings feel interesting again, so he continues doing it, which is how he ends up summoning Gilles.

[UnlimitedBladeWorks]

The thing is I don't think Ryu and Gilles really have anything to contribute to what Zero is like, saying or doing.

[Dark Squirrel]

Something about embracing your deepest darkest desires and turning away from salvation maybe?

Ah, you're right! Thanks for reminding me.

I fully expect it to be where R'lyeh is, and that's why it's weird.

It does bemuse me that despite his association with sea creatures, to my knowledge Lovecraft never touched the Bermuda Triangle in any of his stories.

iirc HP Lovecraft died prior to the concept of the Bermuda Triangle being a thing. Lovecraft died in the 30s and the Triangle became a thing in the 50s.

Huh, I did not realise that Bermuda was that recent of a phenomenon.
