The brain is going so brr about Shirou Emiya and I love and respect him and his Fate

@techturncoat, @diegoplaysfgs and @shiftythegoblin thanks to you three specifically for waking up and helping me figuring out what quote to use for the drawing. Couldn't have done it without the local Shirou fans :3

The Shirou Emiya phenomenon

(Edited because I made a typo and I couldn’t live with it out in the world. Reblogs appreciated to let me know you still love me)

Britain being trans positive only in an alternate history, makes sense

Re-reading Fate/stay night is reminding me of that post about how some YA novels do this thing where the setting has a magic system based on bloodlines and the protagonist is just some random person who doesn't come from any of the super distinguished mage eugenics families... only to fumble it all by eventually revealing that the protagonist was secretly a lost magical princess born with all sorts of gifts anyway, so her bloodline does in fact matter the most.

Specifically it is reminding me of it because it completely dodges that flaw. Shirou Emiya really is just a deeply traumatized guy with no great inborn powers or anything. We never even learn anything about his biological family, which is not relevant.

He was raised by a mage, but he's adopted and pretty hopeless at using most magic, and advantages he does have are tied not to who his parents were but to the fact that he had a magical artifact implanted into him by his adoptive parent to save his life.

Fate/stay night was breaking that trope over its knee before YA fiction even got as popular as it did.

Ok, I’m new to the Fate Fandom but I think I’ve got this cracked.

As someone who is far too into Fate, you actually do lose some other things with the Realta Nua translation. Specifically:

-In Fate, I'm pretty sure some of the gore is less detailed, but more impactfully,

-In Heaven's Feel, there's a lot of censoring lines related to Sakura's abuse in the Matou household (specifically, I remember in the rain scene, before Shirou hugs her). Certain parts that are blunt in the base game gain an air of ambiguity. And I do think that loss is relevant as part of what Heaven's Feel is doing is presenting the characters with a situation that they can't look away from. Making it less obvious feels like a loss to me, though again, pretty minor

also very importantly, you lose out on "shinji has done this before" and that one scene is changed to be more of him doing something for the first time in a moment of weakness, significantly toning down just how bad things have been

As an avid enjoyer of both Fate and Magical Girls... I wish Prisma Illya had been this good from the start, man.

‼️

Best girl and best heroine are together!

And they really hit it off!

An inspiration!

This does really make loads of sense, but it's so nice seeing it. They're not so different

[self-loving-vampire]

Hotter than any of the sex scenes, etc.

the fact that shirou Literally Dies at the end of heaven's feel because his body is so fucking ruined from using magic, and all until then he has to grip onto the sharp edge of a pendant to keep conscious or else he completely misses large parts of the day, and unraveling the shroud on archer's arm makes him experience such intense indescribable pain he goes on for paragraphs and paragraphs of increasingly strange and disturbing metaphors about it, should tell you all you need to know about why Not to Fucking Powerscale this man. if your takeaway is "oooh nine lives blade works fucking awesome" i'm assigning you to a remedial course in actually reading heaven's feel
