That goddamn Tsukihime remake
Mainly Fate strange Fake, but I also enjoy other works like LN or anime when they are released or translated which renews my interest.
I've been thinking about this more than usual lately. I think the thematic side of the stories has always been a big thing for me, the idea of how each work interlaces with these other thematic meanings and that thematic continuity is something I think's important. The way You put it a few pages back describes my feelings on that pretty well.
With that said, I think that's what keeps me reading the things Type-Moon puts out, which is kind of different than why I've stayed engaged with the setting as much as I have over the past-odd decade.
I think the reason I've stayed engaged with the setting is just because it's fun to write in. Part of that's because of how Type-Moon's magic system is based in anthropology, part of it's because of the aforementioned thematic nature of the setting, etc etc, but I think if I just wanna simplify it then that's why. Like, nowadays when a chapter of GO I especially like comes out, or a new project comes out and I'm excited to experience it, that's good, but I think that feeling alone would just make me keep up with it the way I do for most things I have a passing interest in.
Sometimes a little offhand blurb in a new chapter of GO, or a sidenote in a VN from 16+ years ago that I rediscover when I'm grabbing quotes to explain stuff to a friend, or a random discussion with friends about X news headline or Y stupid joke sparks some thoughts and gets me putting pen to paper. How could you turn that into a magus? What would their story look like? What are their themes and possible arcs? How would they play off X or Y aspect of the setting? I'll talk about that with friends and bounce ideas off them, I'll design concepts for a roleplay based off the idea, I'll write up character notes, and so on. It's just fun for me. If that wasn't the case, I don't think I'd be nearly as involved in it after all this time.
I don't know why. I thought it was because I was interested in it after liking what I watched or read, but I noticed I've been more frustrated and annoyed, then I was when I first came here. Maybe the things that I watched and read gave me bad expectations about everything as a whole because it seems like when something new shows up or happens, people are happy and well, I'm not.
Spoiler:
Characters/cool shit, the only reason ive stuck on long enough
Characters, this complicated world, concepts, power systems and (questions and answers)Also the plot sometimes
I've been on and off with TM ever since FGO's advent...
I really like the OG FSN cast so I eat up any content with them (like the Emiya Gohan spinoff)
FGO is something I get excited about sometimes but ultimately don't care much for except for a few select servants and lore bits. I've stopped playing since 2018, sometimes I have a desire to come back.
Tsukihime Remake is something I'm definitely excited for but somehow it still seems far away. Hopefully when it comes around, Tsuki can become a series that is on the level of Fate for TM (or at least close to).
A combination of Sunken Costs Fallacy, most other fandoms and lores being worse nowadays, and needing things to write about in a regular basis so I don't go completely mad.
Also, Osakabehime, I guess.
My favorite waifu's Saber and Nero. They make my life so much happier; they're such great and cheerful characters!
The tsukihime remake, TM works that i need to finish/start and the eventuality of a new TM fighting game.
My (a**hole) friends .... I really don't have any other reasons to.
Anticipation for Extra Record's release. Excited to see what kind of new lores they add, new characters both only mentioned in OG and brand new ones, and how it will affect subsequent releases around Extraverse from then on.
Spoiler:
Sunken cost is definitely a part of it. Modern Type-Moon is something I've found myself growing more and more annoyed with, but I can never bring myself to fully distance myself from it. Even after all the shit Type-Moon has thrown out that I've hated or had no particular feelings about, I still find myself coming back to it over and over, and I still consider it to be my favorite media franchise of all time. Outside of that, I guess it's just also that the parts I do like, I like enough to the point that I can at least tolerate things like Grand Order. I just constantly hold out hope that maybe, just maybe I'll one day be able to enjoy Type-Moon as I once did. And even if that day never comes, at the very least, I've got Tsukihime here to read a million times over.
Finally got a loli vamp in Tsukihime (hoping for Altrouge, but whatever). Now, we need the loli succubus (or succubi) back in the game.
Sex number is funny.
Call me 想φαγω.
