I mean...let's be honest here. eggbug's been seen around some pretty shady characters ~Chara
one of the few times I've ever dared to try making a meme. I've never succeeded in making one that got any traction. I thought Ralsei stepping out of the monolith at the end of 2001 was a guaranteed winner but nope, nobody seemed to notice (this was on Twitter though) ~Chara
I hate feeling this called out ~Chara
this pertains to Fate/Grand Order, which has become our tenuous link to the world of gaming altogether.
that's right! at the moment, Fate/Grand Order seems to be the only video game we can make ourselves play. even chess has come to seem impossible. Kris has started from scratch, too, on their new Pixel phone. it has been indicated to them that there's value in starting a completely pristine playthrough for which we will spend not one single dime. (our previous Fate/Grand Order playthrough, which is incomplete and mired in Babylon right now, appropriately, we yielded to temptation a few times and bought Saint Quartz, which is...well, just think about that for a second. BUYING "Saint Quartz". what were we thinking?? I feel stupid for falling for it.)
anyway, yeah, that's how that stands. we have some very serious issues with playing games unresolved but at least we can play Fate/Grand Order. whee

It's rather significant for us, painful too.
Our fictive introject of Emiya Shirou feels that he has successfully recovered the "exo-memory" of Emiya Kiritsugu giving him the lifesaving gift of Avalon, the healing scabbard of Excalibur, the Noble Phantasm and signature weapon of the King of Knights, Arturia Pendragon (as she's summoned in the Fourth Grail War depicted in Fate/Zero).
We can...feel the echo of this. As we type here, we can feel the "phantom" feeling of that moment in our chest.
We're not quite sure yet but we think this means that Shirou—"our" Shirou, that is—might be able to remember something of his life before the Fourth Grail War. Right now his life begins in a wall of fire...I think perhaps some of our readers might have some notion of what that feels like.
It also raises interesting questions about our own personal magical practice that I'll...table for now.
