Fate/Grand Order General Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[Paulie25]

We love our lesbians

I really do feel like A small-pond fish in the sea ever since joining this forum, the amount of new information about type moon is astounding.

[Rafflesiac]

You get used to it.

Eventually.

[Dark Squirrel]

One of the only reliable things about the wiki is that it lists the works. It's a way to start looking for things here.

[Noa]

If it helps I only know about them very vaguely.

I have no idea what this "MahouTsukai no Hako" is.

Mahoutsukai no Hako was a subscription website ran by OKSG (who you might know nowadays as the Sei Shounagon guy) from 2009 to 2014. The framing of it is that you, the subscription payer, were a client at Café Ahnenerbe (which you might know as the café used as the meta setting of Carnival Phantasm) being served by the waitress Hibino Hibiki and Katsuragi Chikagi (the lesbians pictured above). On the website, the two waitresses offered you tasty menu items like:
- Downloadable Type-Moon wallpapers
- Downloadable Type-Moon music
- Crossover comic strip series ALL-AROUND TYPE-MOON by B-suke (who you might know as the Blackbeard/Fergus/Calamity Jane designer)
- Tsukihime comic strip series Committee of Nice to Akiha by ACPI (who you might know as the guy who wrote the Arcueid's and Ciel's DLC arcade modes in Lumina, or the guy who is FGO's guest writer list but no one really knows which event he did, or the guy who took @akihasan on Twitter)
- Tiger Dojo comic strip series Fight! Taiga Consultation Office by Kurohachi (who you might know from... two silver CEs)
- Hibiki and Chikagi comic strip series HibiChika Comic Days by Daishirin (who you might not know)
- Hollow Ataraxia comic strip series Half & Half & Half by Morii Shizuki (who you might know from Fate/strange Fake, or more relevantly FGO Caren since Caren and Angra are the main duo of H&H&H)
- All sorts of themed polls
- Terminology dictionary for all TM titles
- Collective journal blog for all TM staff members (rarely updated)
- Hibiki and Chikagi reading fan mail
- Dialogue scenes of two TM characters sharing a table in the café
- In-character horoscope readings

Outside of the website, Hibiki and Chikagi had three different comic strip series on Comptiq, all by Daishirin, and a couple of drama CDs. One of them is their normal waitress stuff for crossover TM characters as usual, but most notably, the other is Starlit Marmalade, which has weird lore about how the two are creations of Dead Apostle Ancestor Caubac Alcatraz (who you might know as the telephone from Fate/strange Fake). Starlit Marmalade also has a manga adaptation by Hisamatsu Shirou (who you might know yet but I expect that you will know soon when HibiChika come to FGO, suck it Daishirin).

- Tsukihime comic strip series Committee of Nice to Akiha by ACPI (who you might know as the guy who wrote the Arcueid's and Ciel's DLC arcade modes in Lumina, or the guy who is FGO's guest writer list but no one really knows which event he did, or the guy who took @akihasan on Twitter)

But most importantly, he's credited as the main writer for MBBAN.

[Noa]

Starlit Marmalade is in English on mangadex, might read that tonight since it's on the mind.

[Paulie25]

Wait I’ve never known about Half & Half & Half, this sounds peak. I wanna try and look around for raws now lol

[Comun]

But most importantly, he's credited as the main writer for MBBAN.

I didn't list MBBAN because ACPI is credited as "writing assistant" instead of writer. Do we have a more detailed account of what this writing assistant job entails?

[VitamineC]

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Are they confirmed to be in relationship or is this simply a playful description of they relationship?

[Daemon]

I could see them releasing the girls in an Ahnenerbe event to celebrate all heroines making it to the game, but it also would feel a bit strange with only Arcueid to represent Tsukihime

[Paulie25]

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I’ve read a little of them and it’s very unsubtle

Oh this is like

True Lost Media isn’t it

[idpersona]

Btw a tidbit about Alice: on Yumina mode(asc3)she not only changes her alignment but also her attribute,from Man to Earth.This actually has gameplay consequences-it means she can shift her attribute around to match the enemies she's facing,and that's a 10%damage bonus,offsetting the Caster damage penalty.Notably,by shifting to Earth she gets attribute advantage vs Man,which is her NP supermod.

Technically nothing confirmed but the yuri teasing was the entire appeal site mascot waitresses HibiChika until Starlit Marmalade randomly decided the girls needed L O R E.

[Norayd]

There's no heterosexual explanation for that princess carry

Nah it's in Hibichika Chronicle with the other mahohako site stuff.
It's only 3 pages though. ACPI was by far the most prolific 4koma creator, nearly a full half of the book is just his Akiha comics.

[GuP3ixe]

(who you might know yet but I expect that you will know soon when HibiChika come to FGO, suck it Daishirin).

Damn, 3 collabs (or at least characters from other works) in one year, we're living the dream, huh.

Oh raw, guess it really was just 6 4Komas. What a shame, you can totally do a gag manga based on Angra and Caren interractions. Thanks for linking at least

[Daemon]

If a mangaka actually draws angra every chapter as a main character I'd be amazed
