Beast's Lair History

What does Martha contradict

[Snow]

Anything about Martha that's a direct contradiction of theology and could not be interpreted simply as a liberal take on her character?

[Ratman]

Maybe the part where she uses Christian Magecraft (if it's that). Which is kind of, uh, heresy, though old testament does have a bunch more wizardy people than prophets. Also the blingy cross staff is flat bullshit in the first century. Then again, the anglican priest was pretty blingy himself. So maybe they just think Christian=bling and the problem is purely aesthetic.

Still, a member of the Eighth Sacrament would have a field day with Martha.

Unrelated, but considering how George's skills and Noble Phantasms work, I am thinking it would be hilarious to have Kotomine summon him. He'd be completely useless for all that shit he had Cu do.

Does it say anything like that anywhere?

[Snow]

Her attack is kinda silly, would've been better to have her whack people with her staff or something.

[Ratman]

She says she beat the dragons by force back in the day, and not by talking. She has meager physical stats and no weapon aside of the cross and the dragon itself. I'd say her attacks are pretty canon.

[Snow]

it's very...casterlike. Then again Marie shoots lightbeams too so artistic liberty.

Nah, it was punching. She punched it into submission.

[R.Lock]

Marie's attacks are just visualisation of her voice-turned-weapon shenannigans.

Their laziness with beams still pisses me off.

[LJ3]

Sorry, I was going more on her design.

More on that I don't think Nasu would go the direction Ratman said on Christianity. That's the kind of thing that would piss off adherents.

Less punching, more suplex.

Edit: So a bit more on subject, for those of you guys who were on the old forums, when was the largest rush of new members there?

[aldeayeah]

The animes, by far.

Also the translation patches, and the major new Japanese releases, but not as much.

As I recall from my lurker days the UBW route release and the HF route release were what attracted the most in the old forums.

So, basically same pattern as current BL, but instead of "animes" it's "animes + GO". ...I'm guessing the DEENime attracted more than the Tsuki anime.

This and the only alternative at this time was the MM forum, which was awful.

I always saw that forum as being a bit dead when I lurked it while waiting for the route TLs. There never were many posts happening if at all.

Jack is likely a product of them.

Jacks is a bundle of grudges. Like Angra Mainyu if you take out the villager.

[Kyte]

Many years later, as he faced the meme squad, Colonel Aldeayeah Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his friend took him to discover Type-Moon. At that time Beast's Lair was a village of twenty adobe houses, built on the bank of a river of clear water that ran along a bed of polished stones, which were white and enormous, like prehistoric eggs. The world was so recent that many things lacked names, and in order to indicate them it was necessary to point. Every year during the month of March a family of ragged moonspeakers would set up their tents near the village, and with a great uproar of pipes and kettledrums they would display new translations.

Oh wow you reminded me when I had to read that part for spanish class.

[Cruor]

I never got that vibe.
Well maybe because I was never on 4chan.

I would say the debates used to be a lot more exhausting, eg blastedspider.
Also "we don't know so please wait" has become a valid answer to questions. Rather than people trying to force their headcanon into that and then other people trying to tear that headcanon apart.
Which is good in some areas and not so good in others.

I would say those exhausting debates were awesome! They were the best.

I liked it when we went to fuyuki wiki and looked at all the shit in there and were taken aback. The universe seemed so rich and wide by then, sure to be stock full of unexplored ideas and corners.

These are getting fulfilled now, cliches are being broken except for the ones we were promised to begin with. The Fourth Magic, Merlin, Notes, True Demons, the Sixth, Jesus, the golden middle path for humanity to take, are all on the table.

The setting seems to be nearing completion at the surface, but it is more complicated still. Today, you look at Melty Blood translations, which is exactly what fuyuki wiki used to be, and what you do is call Nasu out on bullshitting, rather than fantasize where this brand new, yet unused term written in hipster kanji may lead us to.

Maybe it is us who have gotten old.

Ehh, this isn't true imo.

While a lot of the old things have been explained, there have been a lot of NEW things also that have been hinted, implied, or expanded the universe. Its just nothing like Fuyuki exists nowadays that describes the world in an interesting manner for people since they don't know about it or can't read it.

I feel like a lot of new information has been met with disinterest
like some of the Lords and their departments and the departments themselves in the Clocktower being revealed, that was probably one of the biggest lore bombs we had ever.
Personally I thought that was more important than like what the 5th did in Mahoyo.

and basically no one cared.
