Zabaniya: Delusional Poison Body

[toskarin]

I agree that the movies mess up a lot of the story, but I always chalked that up to them not having enough time to include everything, and having to sort of "speedrun" the route, and I know this is probably an empty exercise, but given how much time they had, how would you include all those left out bits into the movies? because there's so much they just couldn't put in, especially illya and kirei's stuff, that the third movie feels incredibly hollow, but I just don't know how they could put in everything. I don't get why they decided to cram the longest route in the vn into a movie trilogy

three movies wasn't the ideal format for adapting heaven's feel, but it's shocking how much filler (and I'm using this to refer to actual empty content which doesn't progress the story or anyone's character) was added to reach feature length

free up maybe 15-20 minutes per movie by trimming dead air from the fight scenes that weren't in the vn. they can even keep them! just take about five or ten minutes of random back-and-forth from each one

scenes like the slow-mo walk to sakura are bewildering. literally just fade to black before shirou starts walking and then fade in as he hugs her. that's all that scene needed, and it's a perfect microcosm of the over-animation problem that the movies have

illya's conversation with shirou where she lets on that she knows someone has to die at the end of the story needs to be reinserted. otherwise illya has basically nothing to go off of and just kind of leaves the narrative emptily in the finale

somewhat controversially, I think Nine Bullet Revolver could be cut down to about a quarter of its length and still have the same impact. make it sudden and violent and intense. explain things less.

the school flashbacks in the intro are fine, but if it's between them and getting more content in the first movie so that we can hacve die lorelei later on, you know which one I'm voting to keep

if we have time for both, insert the conversation between illya and sakura about what it means to be a grail and keep illya overhearing taiga talking about kiritsugu's overseas voyages. that's a fine way to adapt the scene where illya looks for kiritsugu in the emiya household without relying too heavily on someone knowing the full context

changing none of the pacing, just have rider and rin in-frame during the final walk to the flower viewing. it's such a disservice to every character in that scene to tighten the scope like that. it feels so cold, utterly devoid of the cathartic warmth that scene is supposed to have

move kotomine's recollection of claudia's death forward. start it when assassin hits him with zabaniya, then reveal the missing heart as the story ends (in contrast to how it happens now, where the story ends right before assassin uses zabaniya)

get rid of the random ninja jumping shirou does in the angra mainyu finale. just have him walk towards her. it's startling how much the movies would be improved by just letting shirou walk normally towards sakura more often

and lastly, to correct for the fact that so much of everyone's characterisation in the vn comes from shirou's monologue being able to describe subtler body language, move the camera to rin once or twice. have a few scenes that are framed from her perspective which make it clear that shirou's acting weird to the outside observer. he comes off as too much of gigachad otherwise

[v1leblood]

fate for the reverse unpopular opinion meme

talking about stay night specifically in this case bc the broader franchise is so big that pretty much nothing i could say would be applicable to all entries

its so so so so so good the world and magic system are so interesting, the characters are compelling and unique (there will never be another kirei kotomine.), the heroic spirits have much more research put into them than people who looked at one wikipedia entry of a historical/mythological figure would have you believe, and generally speaking it deserved to pop off and shape pop culture the way it did (with rin tohsaka essentially functioning as the blueprint for the 2010 era tsundere)

i'm stupid excited for the official translation so we can actually read a version of it without the dubious choices of the fan translation, even if it the new version may come with its own weirdness, and i'm especially happy that there Are two translations bc even w the old translation not being fantastic it means people who don't read japanese (meeee) actually have two texts to compare and contrast to get a better sense of what's a translation choice and what is true to the original text

also I think it overall handles themes of familial abuse, depersonalization and PTSD (also arguably depression) really well despite being a story where anime characters shoot beams at each other and have sex. speaking of the shooting of the beams is executed fantastically and the majority of fsn Noble Phantasms are fucking peak fantasy combat writing, characterization and world building. gae bolg and unlimited blade works will always be famous but shoutout to rule breaker and the ORIGINAL zabaniya

[solarzilla]

Been curious about if something like Zabaniya & Gae Blog would work on a cybertronian considering Transformers don't have a straight equivalent of a heart besides the Spark and thats more of a soul than anything. Maybe the T-cog or Brain Module?

[narbarecker]

I don't want to be annoying on someone else's post so I'll just put my thoughts here. I just think about these two too much, and they share a lot of similarities.

We really don't know a lot about Hassan of the Shining Star yet. We do know that he's a young assassin leader who wasn't really in charge of leading but became appointed as the figurehead due to his advanced skills.

Similarly, Leo is in the same position as a figurehead for moon N*zis, manipulated by their commander. Even after winning the Fuhrer competition, he is still discardable after being made to participate in an attempted genocide.

An assassin leader and a lunar Fuhrer. They're raised to be impervious to death. Hassan treats murder as a job, and his NP leads to his own destruction. On the other hand, Leo starts out being on board with the genocide plan, until it was actually time to fire the weapon. He then tries to sabotage the plan, but ultimately proven that he is powerless on his own.

Both of them are given leadership positions for political advantage. Hassan feels deep inferiority towards the existing Hassan Servants in Chaldea due to his Zabaniya being nothing special, and he allowed himself become a follower of his elders' orders. Leo has a dominant and demanding personality, but in truth, he feels heavily burdened by his position, which he won by losing his only friend.

Both of them are fully expected to take their roles seriously, despite not having actual authority. They both act cold and distant, rational and dismissive. But sometimes, their youthful boy side manifests. Hassan apparently likes video games and dresses up in trendy clothes. Leo gets excited for anything unusual, like surfing on missiles and playing by the sea.

Leo's salvation comes in the form of embracing his new responsibilities after losing the commander and his lunar home, and choosing to relocate his people on Mars to prevent a world war from occuring. As for Hassan, the circumstances of his past are currently unknown, but in the story chapter he debuts from, he had to fight off a major villain on his own with the use of his NP, saying that it's worth using it for that accomplishment.

What’s your OC grail war like?

its very in the spirit of Fate/stay night. the main theme is of decay and decline, and like Fsn, nearly every character comes from a mage family. abuse is also a huge theme. one of the main characters is a mirror of Fujino Asagami, and, yeah

for something a bit lighter, the servants part was a lot of fun to come up with. i found the main character's servant, Avenger class Beatrice Cenci, from looking at a list of historical figures who committed patricide which isn't relevant to the story at all, but all the others were just me coming up with what i thought were interesting ideas

Ned Kelly is Archer and his noble phantasm is his armor. if summoned in australia, he would be unkillable, divine spirit-tier. as-is, the armor makes him pretty damn sturdy

Lancer is Matityahu of Modiin, aka a leader of the Maccabees circa 160 BC

Saber is The Dullahan, a different play on the same trope as Hessian Lobo. it's much more like a standard european knight with a sword, but also ghostly fire instead of a neck

Rider is Captain Cook, and my characterization of him is very inspired by The Apotheosis of Captain Cook which is what inspired me to include him. depending who you ask (aka, him) he may or may not secretly be a divine spirit

Assassin is Hassan of Reverous Song is based on Zabaniya: Ichor of Reverie from strange Fake, aka the power to blow up people's heads. because that's a little one-note i also gave her a siren song thing since that fit the song theme

Caster is Satsuki Isis

Berserker is Geronimo, at the suggestion of a friend who didn't play FGO and didn't know that he was already in Fate as a different class. but she had a point that this fit him better and i couldn't think of anything better at the time, so,

and then Avenger as i said is Beatrice Cenci, summoned several years younger than the time of her death and also she's just kinda pathetic and can't really do anything at all

[asterinstar]

I'm honestly not surprised LW made another punisher type character have a bdsm outfit. I mean they did it with Zabaniya. And they have plenty of characters that are linked with many kinks sooo. But dang that outfit looks hot on him.

HRU Preview: Hassan of the Cursed Arm

So close, yet so far....there's niche, and then there's "ST servant who requires you to land instant death to activate buffs designed around a feedback loop". It wouldnt even take more than a single asterisk qualifier to fix, 66% of what i'm about to add is just flavor and really only the change to what activates the death effects is what is needed to fix this.

Zabaniya (Cursed Arm) C+ -> C+++

Deal significant damage to a single enemy. If Instant Death activates or attack deals lethal damage^, Increase own NP Gauge by 50%. If Instant Death activates or attack deals lethal damage^, increase own ATK by 25%^ (4^ turns). (Lethal damage is any attack that reduces HP to 0, even if Guts activates or enemy HP is a Break Bar) <Overcharge> High chance to inflict Death on a single enemy. Extra chance to inflict Death on a single Human (trait) enemy. Extra chance to inflict Death on a single [Living Human] servant. Decrease Quick resistance for a single enemy (4 turns). Increase your NP Gain (4 turns). [Human trait (enemy only) death chance scales at 30/45/60/75/90%, Living Human death chance scales at 50/57.5/65/72.5/80%, NP Gain scales at 10/18/25/32/40%, Quick Res down scales at 10/15/20/25/30%]

(PS: Lemme know what you think of this format for the whole "Previews" thing. Probably gonna do any other relevant ones from Strengthening XIV)

[fouadwastaken]

tell random (fun)facts about your ocs……..

UHH HI ANNI? I AM AT 99.999% THIS SOUNDS LIKE ANNI...

FACT 1:

Foluhoyad's parents are still a WIP. I am still deciding about it all but the current principal idea is the following :

They are overbearing, like the kind of people to share embrassing baby details about their child. They treat the friends of their son as their own children. The door is always open for them, they can come in any time and stay as long as they want. Like they won't ever get mad if they come receive a visit.

FACT 2:

I decided to make Amal (in high fantasy contexts) more star related. In particular , their signature is "star weaving" . It allows him to listen about stories of astral bodies. However the definition is very vague and it works like a zoom of sorts can listen anything from a mountain to a far away galaxy at a cost.

This skill also allows him to define what a constellation is! he listens to the surronding solar systems , and coordinates them so they share their stories together making a constellation. add to that the crazy imagination he has and you get more context for his rambles. In a more normal setting , it's just a crazy imagination. Which can explain some stuff for sure!

Another theme sneaked in is to tell the story of those unable to tell it!! the voice of the silent...I think it did fit. There's more to say about that theme but that's for another time!

FACT 3:

Remy hosts a TV show with betakaru , and I think whenever I can I will make them hosting a tv show with a powerful father figure-like show entity. They tend to cohost stuff! but sometimes Remy is cursed to host their own shows. One of them is the weather

FACT 4:

Gonna call this the end with this one. But Malak is such an oddity. She is sort of a retrospect of a time god . Malak exists in the past and present , time god (Zabaniya) exists in the future but can come in the present.

This fact usually doesn't hold outside of me writing my own stories and even in my own stories I keep it limited to some stories or some occurences. But sometimes I do sneak references to it as silly jokes! or if a ifyouknowyouknow
