Beast's Lair History

[Lycodrake]

So...
BL is dying because of a lack of mystery?

{[Meta intensifies.]}

[mewarmo990]

its not the same when i know the answers

it used to be the age of gods, with wonders and mysteries roaming the earth

now they have given way to science

No one knows this feeling better than the gods themselves.

Yeah, I said it.

He's a writer that goes without sleep and lives off canned coffee for weeks just to bang out a story in one sitting, it's bound to happen sooner or later.

I'm pretty sure he just plays video games a lot until Takeuchi or their secretary person whose name I can't remember yells at him, then he does the caffeine-fueled super writing session.

I actually kinda agree, Back In The Day when we only had Tsukihime/FSN/KnK novels (and nobody cared about that last one) there was all this unexplained stuff, now it's gradually becoming more clear and there are fewer mysteries/things open to speculation.

Like how almost everything in Character Material has appeared in something else now.

making me sad

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.

No respect for a good Messiah these days, I tell you.

Well, "no prophet is accepted in their hometown" after all. ┐(￣ー￣)┌

So...

{[Meta intensifies.]}

Well, at least we'll always have True Demons being unexplained, because I'm sure not even Nasu has a good idea of how to include them in his works.

[T-Toh]

Hmm, I always did enjoy the fanon -- both the joking and the non-joking. I am sorry now that those days have gone away with the wind~

[mewarmo990]

well aside from this whole mystery thing we're half-joking about

The English speaking TM fanbase has grown much bigger than it was back in the late 2000s.

mongrels

I think it started with a cult following of Tsukihime. The only mention I remember as far back from right now. But KnK and Mahoyo came first so--eh?

[mewarmo990]

It was a time where I seem to remember myself actually liking visual novels.

Mahoyo was not a thing at the time lol

[aldeayeah]

Mahoyo came first

not really

Protomahoyo was a thing, but it never got leaked.

[mewarmo990]

Protomahoyo was a thing, but it never got leaked.

It was a thing he went down to the copy shop personally to make copies for all his friends.

like, pre-internet for most people

[aldeayeah]

I have some file called 魔法使いの夜.rar that I downloaded off eMule years ago (long before the mahoyo VN was announced), but I'm pretty sure it's a fake.

The contents are files named 1.txt through 8.txt and エピローグ.txt (epilogue). The file dates are March 2004.

Probably some fanfic.

[Mcjon01]

That's a fanfiction somebody wrote based on the, like, two lines that people knew were in Mahoyo.

Jack is likely a product of them.

FGO story spoilers:

Spoiler:

Besides, we got Solomon in the plot now.
Furthermore, the idea of demons in Jerusalem seems highly interesting, because the true demons would have in large part made christianity into what it is, making El/YHWH from hebrew god of weather and war to something much bigger.

Of course, that would be tackling Christianity and outright stating men making god to be the case, but that really does seem to be the direction this is going.

[Mcjon01]

That does not seem to be the direction this is going by the way.

[Ratman]

But the world as shown through the HAPPENING goggles is so much more interesting, though.

OKSG is a good woman

I thought Jack's deal was wraith abomination not True Demon shit

[Kotonoha]

OKSG is a man though

[Snow]

GO spoilers

[They might just scratch the surface of Solomon's connection with demons without going deep into the origins of Christianity thing. The prospect of something new and interesting being introduced is always nice.]

[LJ3]

OKSG is a man though

I am an idiot

And I don't think Nasu would delve into something that would contradict Christian theology anyway

but then Martha
