didnt feel like logging in to yt,



interesting content, but

[Zurvan]

I have no idea. But it probably means something.

I-I'm flattered, but I don't think it'll work out between us

[Historia]

Yeah, me and Zurvan are already an item.

[SpoonyViking]

I don't ship it. Castor X Zurvan OTP.

[SpoonyViking]

And to answer your previous question, the LGBT people in the group are usually the first to call bullshit on the shippers' various diatribes on why the pairing they favor is "CANON". So no, it's really shitflingers and not 'oppressed minorities' who typically start this shit.

And yet, your knee-jerk reaction is to complain at rainbows being used as a political symbol for and by LGBTQ+ people.
Just saying, seems like there's some... ...misaiming? Is that even a word?... ....here.

Damn, I thought it was going to automerge. My bad.

Actually, DH: you said you don't watch the parent show anymore, it seems like you never cared for the spin-off, and you're clearly annoyed by the members' antics. Why do you continue to mod, then? Genuine curiosity here.

[Zurvan]

The same reason why some of the moderators here most likely stopped caring about current TM

Υes, because that's the only think that was actually interesting enough for me to to remark on. The fact of the existence of people overtly invested in the love life of fictional characters is neither new nor noteworthy.
As for why I still tolerate the lot of 'em: A large dose of inertia, combined with a dwindling amount of goodwill and desire to help "the community". Plus, the guy who started the group and made me a mod was a buddy.

But does your language have the majesty that is this


(actually yes I think there IS a dutch translation)

[Historia]

I would do without those silhouettes above the title

Yeah. I went over it with the artist the last several days. Gonna hold off on it for now.

Instead we're going ahead with,



The cover for You Are My King.

[Zurvan]

I like this one more, in all honesty

[Historia]

As for the previous one, the story is split into 4 parts -- 1 part per protagonist as the story progresses -- so each cover will feature its main protagonist, and I've got the references in place in order,

(Medee)



(Bazett)



(Misaya)



(Cary)

[Zurvan]

I don't know what Misaya is going through but I'm getting a Damned Souls vibe a la Metro Last Light

[Historia]

First two are definitely just gonna have 1 character (Medee is a loner, Bazett has Caren, but ah). For the last two, I'm not sure if I want to add in Rin and/or Lancer (Celtchar) for Misaya and Fiore and/or Saber (Jeanne d'Arc) for Cary.

[Zurvan]

Well, do they add more to the story than exposition? Are they there with their own goals and motivations

[Historia]

I don't know what Misaya is going through but I'm getting a Damned Souls vibe a la Metro Last Light

Some years back (2?) I talked with Dully and a few others about a Dead Apostle Ancestor Misaya origin story. It was where she was experimented on by her father, was turned into a pseudo-Dead Apostle, fell in with Altrouge and Dead Apostle politics, etc.

Wrote about 17-20k words worth of that horror before I decided to try a different angle. In this new story, all the events of that fic already happened. In her 30s she's been to hell and back and finds herself pulled back down into it and is basically trying to do what she didn't before: something. Taking action into her own hands, etc. Rin nudges her along and they encounter Celtchar from part 1. Part 1 happens before Fate/apoc. Part 2 (Bazett) is during. Part 3 (Misaya) is after. Part 4 (Cary) is all those meeting up and coming together.

The timeline is a mixture of Fate/heaven's feel (and case files), Apocrypha, and Strange Fake. If I had to say it's most like Strange Fake.

Yes, Rin (based on Fate/apoc's iteration) and Fiore (case files) are. But, thinking about it, they don't really need to be there.

- - - Updated - - -

And Celtchar is the only one to be in all 4 parts as a POV. She's the one constant. Starts out participating in a Grail War (part 1), rolling with Bazett & Caren (part 2) then Misaya & Rin (part 3) through to the end (part 4).

Maybe I could do something for that? Dunno yet. Gonna wait and see.

Not sure what to put this but my fav anisong dubber AmaLee just put out a cover for FGO's opening, Shikisai. Y'all can watch it here.
