[Leftovers]

tl;dr but isn't it supposed to be fanfic anyway

[Ratman]

please understand I literally can't differ from shit that's stated and shit that I made up because it makes more sense than what's actually stated

[AAM1232]

I mean I've never heard of Types being 'kings'.

[Ratman]

Tsukihime prologue.

Though that's likely to make it sound better in the fairy tale setting of Zel telling the story to little Arcueid.

Spoiler:

Here in easily readable format. Always wonder why they put in the three and half minute dark and silent part at the end there, kinda wasting bandwith.

[Leftovers]

as a longtime aficionado of your batshit theorycrafts i say go for it, it's how you spice the lore that draws in the appropriate crowd

what factchecking credentials did coke need to turn knk into mta anyway

[AAM1232]

Gaia stuff seems like it's leaning too much into giving it mote of a personality than usual.

[Dullahan]

conceptual ---> concept-driven

edit: on second thought there is really no good way of phrasing this. the difficulty is the steady divorce of the word 'concept' and all its derivatives from meaning anything at all in tm parlance. you know what it means, i know what it means, but the TEXT does not know what it means - and neither will the average reader, for that reason

modernism ---> modernity

[the god of world-0]

Sometimes I have no idea what Dullahan is talking about.

It sounds smart, and it probably is, but I have no idea.

[Dullahan]

I am suggesting replacements for certain words in Ratman's post above.

[Herod]

Humanity embraces modernism

the late 19th-early 20th centuries art movement?

[Ratman]

the late 19th-early 20th centuries art movement?

It's a bit more complicated than that. But I might give it too much weight ideologically due to art education.

Regardless, I know exactly what Dullahan is talking about. It shall be fixed.

[NMR-3]

If we say that the 4th HGW is the process of Angra Mainyu bring born, is the 1994 Fuyuki Fire then fallout from its gender reveal party?

[AAM1232]

No.

[Deathhappens]

Since the 1d4chan article seemed to have been popular, I'll be adding a bunch of stuff there. Before I do, I should probably check: There is a whole bunch of unstated stuff and conjecture, have I gotten this right?

You wrote a 1d4 article on the Nasuverse? I mean, sure, there's plenty of /a/ and /v/ stuff on there but I'm not really seeing the overlap on this one.

Text-wise though it looks good. Lots of room to get joshed by Nasu, but that would require him actually giving a fuck about Tsukihime and/or general worldbuilding first.

[Ratman]

I could say Commander Keen Rule, but really, it's because every other day there's some genius turning up and talking about how he's going to run his totally original Holy Grail War campaign with 21 players over telegram.

That, and the actual tabletop inspirations are there, as much as we make fun of the lying character sheets.

[Walnut Sparks]

Nursery Rhyme always looked weird to me, but it's taken this long to figure out why. I'm not talking about the doll limbs. It's that she has a face like a Precious Moments figurine.

[OverMaster]

Well, that's because she was supposed to be unsettling. Like many other characters, Grand Order tries its best to make her just kawaii uguu, but she was meant to be creepy originally.

[LJ3]

basically Rozen Maiden vibes

[LegalLoliLover]

I just realized that Yu Miaoyi's NP in F/GO is basically the same thing as one of SHIKI's moves in Battle Moon Wars:

[Walnut Sparks]

but she was meant to be creepy originally.

So I hear. But the fact that she looks like a Precious Moments figurine is probably just a weird coincidence. They're not meant to look creepy. They just do.
