A new Agito cadet, Elia had entered Akademia!

A young girl named hailing from Lorcia, she misses her home greatly but finds companionship with the rest of cadets, in particular Ace had helped make her feel the most at home. She also gets along well with Cinque due to also being another heavy weapons user, though she does feel intimidated by Arceia.

She's also childhood friends with Ryid!

Gilgamesh from the Fate Series

My favorite character since many years already. I tried to draw him in a realistic way all while keeping a visual that would still be fidèle to how he would likely look like. It took me a lot of time before feeling satisfied, but I would be lying if I said i feel perfect about it 😅

Anyway, still happy with the result :)

No repost pls ❤️

I really can’t complain much about Goetia content. He kind of had his own singularity, which is now a movie. Is still relevant, has legit 6 different sprites, delivered one of the most heart clenching quotes and has been there from the almost very beginning.

Tumblr kept giving me ads for a mobile game called Game of Vampires, and as you may well know I’m a big fan of vampires. I decided I’d humor the ads and check the game out—and I like it! It’s pretty amusing for what it is, though it is a lot of waiting and clicking and navigating cluttered menus. The story, lore, and art are really carrying it.

Obviously Dracula is in the game—you can’t have a vampire story without him—but not only are there plenty of original characters to bump into, there’s also a ton of public domain characters, real historical figures, and lawyer-friendly knockoff characters. Here are all the ones I’ve caught so far (part 1)

Carmilla from the story of the same name

Blade from Marvel Comics

Edward Cullen from Twilight

Gilgamesh from the Epic of Gilgamesh

There’s a romanceable Enkidu, too

The Pied Piper

Victor Frankenstein from Frankenstein

His creation is a romance option, complete with a Bride-themed gender swap

Tesla

Eric Draven from The Crow

The Winner of the “Best Type-Moon Couple” Tournament is…

Gilgamesh and Enkidu (52% of the Vote)

[Congratulations for the Runner-ups, Mr. Sakamoto Ryouma and Mrs. Sakamoto Oryou, who came close with 48% of the Vote]

Thank you so much to the 502 people who voted in the final poll, as well as everyone else who participated/nominated/followed this tournament. I appreciate every single one of you and hope to see you next time I do something like this again. Until then, thanks for voting, see you whenever there’s a next time!

Letter from the Mod (Under the Cut):

Introduction:

So… uh… been a while since we talked like this, completely nervous, unprepared tournament mod to the hundreds of thousands of potential listeners and followers of the poll. Well, now that it’s over, I want to introduce myself.

Hi, you can call me Snow. I’ve been a Type-Moon fan for about a year now. I got into this series when my cousin introduced me to “Fate” and from there I started to grow on this series at an… large… unnormal… potentially problematic and unhealthy way.

“Where’d the inspiration come from?”:

When I got into Fate, the one thing that reached out to me were the characters themselves and their relationship with one another, and the more I looked into the nasuverse, the more characters that I found that I feel in love with, the more I started to hate, the more I started to have convoluted and mixed feelings towards, but the one thing I loved about most was how characters interacted with each other and how well, or unwell, they get along and nothing else can show my love and appreciation for character dynamics than the couples of Type-Moon.

The couples of Type-Moon range anywhere from being weird to comical to sad to disgusting to wholesome and even genuinely life changing, with the characters themselves having dynamic that either showed how much they pine for love, how love broke them, how love managed to fix them, or by simply how wholesome they are. When Samurai Remnant released and featured a character who loves their spouse very much that they make it their main focus in game, juxtaposed by their spouse still showing their love and devotion for them, it was the thing that eventually caused me to make this tournament in the first place (they weren’t in the tournament though, but it’s the thought that counts).

Running the Tournament:

I was completely sure that I wanted to run this tournament, but the main caveat was the fact that I never ran a tournament like this before and it became very clear, very quickly that I had no idea what I was doing (the potentially weird rules for the tournament and the delayed start times were a big red flag of this, so I’m glad we had so many people stuck around despite that).

Still, I wanted to do my best for this tournament, so I created everything myself (with my sister helping to find a tournament bracket website). And when I mean everything I mean I edited together the main banner of the blog and edited together most of the couple portraits (I got lazy and used official art for some of them, guess which ones)

What’s next?:

Honestly, I want to do another tournament sometime. Obviously not immediately since I also want time off, but I’d also want to do something else and see more people come together to vote on something we all may or may not enjoy. And while I have no ideas at the moment (if you want to give any ideas then feel free to share then through the askbox or through the submission box) but maybe this blog will go through a renovation when I figured something out, hm?

Want to see what I do?:

Well, in case you wanna follow me specifically, then you can follow my personal blog (@player-blandon) for more of my personal things or things I post about games I like sometimes. I don’t post there consistently, and when I do it’s probably, mostly, shitposts unless I’m live-blogging a game I’m playing through or (in the most recent post’s case) doodled something I wanted to share. It’s the place where I share things sometimes and hopefully it’s a place where I can talk to all of you about some stuff as well (chances are I’m going to be posting more fate and type-moon things after this tournament).

Closing Thoughts:

Honestly, this tournament was a bigger undertaking than what I originally thought, but I’m glad I did this. I consider it a learning experience.

Thank you all once again for participating in this tournament. Congratulations to the King of Heroes and his only friend for winning and good job Ryouma and Oryou for putting on a good fight. We all put in a lot in this tournament and I hope to see you all again when I do something like this again…

…until then, I’ll see you whenever I can. Goodbye everyone. See you later!

[luckyyyduckyyy]

Ahhhhhhrrggg yap yap yap yap, hi :). I just woke up late and I’m here to cause chaos. My question is… what are some songs you listen to while you do other things? Annnnd what DCA AU has captured your brain with the most brain rot. (Hope you’re having a good day/evening/night.)

A happy yap yap yap to you too hehe! Elloooo :333

My friend... You're opening a can of worms with that music question >:3

Rubbing my hands nefariously like a FLY

I am a massive KGLW fan and I hyperfixate on the band SO BAD. I DO listen to other songs not by them, but recently its been JUST them.

I went from listening to their album B741 for almost straight 9 weeks, to a small break bouncing between all their albums, to having spent about a week straight now listening to their LIVE Miami '24 set constantly. (I was at that concert!!! It's awesome to relive it in my head. I think I can even hear my cheers at times -- though that may just be the wishful thinking lol, I definitely wasn't the only woman near the stage.)

Here's some of my favorite songs from both albums if you're curious, I am always happy to talk about KGLW :3 (They'll be below the break since Tumblr makes them GIGANTIC oml)

As for AUs... @/paranoidactivityau in general just popped out of nowhere and slapped me into heaven. It's such a good concept and that art is IMMACULATE ughhhh leave it to 8um8le to create amazing characters. I was so intrigued by their Sun, charmed by their puppet Moon, but then floored by their Eclipse. Paranoid Activity Eclipse save me.... I wanna make fan art of him so bad but I need to finish other stuff first...

As for my own AUs, the brain rot likes to be passed around like a hot potato, it almost changes daily what one I'm focused on. The most recent is the Royal AU for obvious reasons, I spent so long brainstorming for it lol, but the broken and somewhat scary Eclipse I hinted at here likes to take up a lot of space in my mind. I'll call it the MOTU AU for now since it's heavily based upon the story of an album that goes by the same name, Murder of The Universe. (By, you guessed it, KGLW lololol) This technically means my Bones fic/AU has also been on my mind, because the Moon from there will somewhat show up in this AU! Ya gotta love to see it when Oneshots worm their way into something else. :3

Hehehehehe thank you for asking! I am currently having a good afternoon, and it's made even better being able to yap about my interests hehe <333

A good timezone to you too Lemmones! Keep causing chaos :3

The songs get loud at times, especially the lives, so just a quick heads up. The Live was a rock/metal live so they made their songs extra gravely <3

[valkyrievanessa]

i think it is really funny how the genshin fandom try to downplay other games and franchises to make their game look better and everyone just roast them all at once at the same time, because their game is shit, specially about characters design (never played the game enough to like any character on it).

First they did it with arknights, after that, reverse 1999, now Fate. And this last one is really, really funny, BECAUSE HOYOVERSE ANNOUNCED A CHARACTER THAT IS BASICALLY PLAGIARISM OF GILGAMESH FROM FATE!!

Hoyoverse is a fan of the fate franchise and don't hide it, so this bullshit happening on twitter with a genshin fan saying that ALL FATE DESIGNS ARE SHIT is really funny, because the designs that this person think is so shitty is direct inspiration of some characters that hoyoverse have created (and the new one from star rail that is basically plagiarism)

And call fate design shit is kinda complicated, because is not patronized to the same art style and character design, specially fgo. Calling all fate design shit is basically saying that some of the biggest artists from japan right now are also shit, and some of them are popular already publishing authors with popular mangas or other works, or just really, really big artists.

Fgo have a lot of problems and not all characters are great (i kinda hate the tezcatlipoca design, specially stage 3 that is really, really ugly) but fgo is also diverse as fuck with tons of diferent styles, many artists work on this game and franchise and get recognition in game, the name of the illustrators and voice actors are something you can look in game.

well, that is what i had in my head about this shit that anoyed me and made me laugh, because the reaction was the same one as arknights and was really funny.

[motherlarkspur]

Big fan of having friends. If you like my art or my funny posts, I am going to follow you. Especially if you like monsters or The Epic of Gilgamesh. This is a threat (affectionate)

[cuthechicane]

I'm 华裔 and an F1 fan but unfortunately not fluent in Chinese-- Is the tag u put at the bottom of this prost and senna post a reference to the story of the guqin player and his noble patron, who could understand the inspiration to his music by listening to it? I think about that story and the concept of 知音 / 知己 a lot, even if again I can't entirely understand it not being fluent. It fits well with the arts, but I think it also applies weirdly poetically well to sport rivalries where you can deeply understand and predict what the other person is going to do. (Funnily enough I found the story of the guqin player and 知音 thru tumblr on that really long essay post about The Untamed/ Chen Qing Ling and its mistranslation of zhiji to soulmates.)

omg hiii :) yes it was a quote directly from the original text (they don't have english translations sadly but there is a translation into modern chinese if ur interested). prosenna is just soooo 知音/知己 coded to Me and other classical lit metaphors fit them so well too (see this gorgeous gilgamesh/enkidu web weave). another line I use to tag for them is “君埋泉下泥销骨 我寄人间雪满头” from 《梦微之》 by 白居易 (an elegy he wrote for his friend & fellow poet 元稹). the connection there is probably more self evident. anyways classical lit x sports narratives my forever beloved <3

SPULTURATORAH!! 2ND EXTERMINATION

SPULTURATORAH!! 2ND EXTERMINATION, Keetoms, 2024

Hot. Off. The. Presses. Directly into my hands before the edges were even trimmed or the cover placed on it. Seven hundred pages of raw ancient retro-future. The author gave this to me on January 2nd and it took me until now to actually read the whole thing.

SPULTURATORAH!! 2ND EXTERMINATION (S2E from here on out to avoid overwhelming us all with Teh Capslock) is a gonzo mashup of different game styles, settings, and genres. The original game (S1E, I guess) is a classic of maximalist game design in a tiny package. In fact, it's so small that there are more pages in S2E than words in S1E. That's ultra-maximalist game design for you.

So what did they do with the 698ish new pages? A lot, thankfully.

30 pages total of ToC, index, thanks, and license. It has its own bespoke license that I am not good enough at lawyer to understand.

10 pages of extra explanation for the original ruleset, which honestly it needed.

20 pages of gonzo backstory for King Gilgamesh. I appreciate that they did not in fact explain where he got the Levitating Darkness Throne. They did a great job folding in the new chapter of the Epic of Gilgamesh that was discovered only recently.

A 40-page adventure set in the Ziggurat of Ur, complete with a Narrative Dungeon linking this place to the Eternal Realm of Narrative Awesome.

9 pages of random-roll tables you can use for Trait One, Trait Two, and Trait Prime.

2 pages to explain the difference between what you can use for the numbered traits and what you can use for the prime trait.

30 pages of alternate uses for TRAIT ZIGGURAT BARLEY.

18 pages of equipment.

31 pages of vehicles and riding animals.

2 pages on currency.

14 pages of hacking rules.

7 pages of rules clarifications from the unofficial 1.4th edition. Nice to see them supporting fan works.

114 pages of monsters, each of which is a mutated version of King Gilgamesh from another universe or a shattered piece of our own, come to drag you back to his den and devour you. There are big ones, scaly ones, porcupine-like ones, multiple fragmented body parts moving together, one rolled into a beholder-like shape, one fused forever into a throne of pure orange light, all kinds of stuff. I like this.

A 6-page writeup of the God Shamash, which is sort of unnecessary but interesting anyway.

A 4-page running edge-to-edge map of Babylon and its rivers

8 pages of word jumble. I think it's a code. I am not entirely certain.

115 pages of adaptations from S2E to other rule systems: Deadlands, Torg, Fate, Altaplana, Numenera, Dungeon War, MSR, and Fantasy Wargaming: THLOA.

Good lord 700 pages is a lot of pages.

1 page accidentally taken up by a single dangling word ("it") at the end of a sentence. I have been there. Doing layout sucks sometimes.

96 pages of color art plates. Right in the middle of the book. The rest of the book has no art. The center has almost 100 solid pages of pinup Babylonian future barbarian blade hunter psychics. It's all the work of one mad genius who is credited as a bunch of black rectangles with diacriticals above and below them

A 3-page essay on why Nobilis is the greatest game ever, which has an acrostic that disclaims the entire section.

4 pages of detailed wargame rules.

22 pages of domain management guidelines.

12 pages of "spoilers". I still do not know what most of these mean.

A 2-page spread of Gilgamesh's family tree.

15 pages of writeups for miscellaneous folks on said tree.

28 pages on the language used in ancient Babylon, complete with cuneiform how-to.

A 16-page "node map" of the retro-future Babylonian cybernet that leads to outer space, where the planets are manifestations of deities.

21 more pages of detail covering the strange planets of our solar system as the Babylonians knew them: their cities, their rulers, little adventure seeds, advice for GMs for running stories in them. I do kind of wonder if someone else wrote this section.

1 page of probability notes, which is all you need for a 1d6-roll-under system really.

An 8-page character sheet, which is a bit excessive for characters with 4 traits.

2 pages that just contain the original game.

I will admit - there is actually too much in this game. I'm not sure it would have worked to make it a string of 50ish short supplements, but it's still an awful lot to absorb. The "maximal game, minimal package" has turned into "ultra-max game in a doorstop package". If S3E ever arrives (presumably with three exclamation points) I hope they do some judicious trimming.

I have no idea if this behemoth will make it to stores, or whether the shipment will collapse under its own gravitational pull and become a black hole. Either way, heck of a collector's item.
