Level Up At Intimacy 5, Goddamn It launched as Level-Up at Intimacy 5: From YKTTW
Working Title: Intimacy 5: From YKTTW
Fast Eddie: I give up. What's this supposed to mean?:
- Has a Nightmare Fuel being of pure thought got you down? Don't worry, they can easily be fought with The Power of Love. Merely having feelings for that cutie Sara Smith is enough to strike down the things, but if you really want to get people to ask "DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu!?" you're going to need to sleep with her.
It doesn't make a lot of sense.
Tsundere Lightning: Yeah. Sorry about that. It's an extended and egregrous example from the Trope Namer. Just edited for clarity now, while preserving the reference.
Fast Eddie: Much better. I probably caught it right when you were drafting it.
Adam850: Image is too big. Waytoo big. Crop it, please.
(Not Actually) Tsundere Lightning: No problem.
Tsundere Lightning: Stop pretending to be me! ...that being said, it works with only the first two panels. I'll see what I can do.
yyz: It's probably too late, having missed this on YKTTW, but much though I love Bliss Stage, I don't buy it as being widely-known enough to be a Trope Namer. Not that I have an immediate suggestion for what to call this instead.
Tsundere Lightning: But without it the joke trope name Mambo Intimacy 5 gets lost! ...and part of the point of naming it this is so I could link Bliss Stage to it.
- Edited to add
- Also keep in mind that There Is No Such Thing As Notability. Bliss Stage isn't notable, but it does embody the trope.
Cassius335: It's not much of a joke to preserve, Tsun. Kinda curious why the Mambo Intimacy 5 examples couldn't have gone in this trope...
Tsundere Lightning: Mambo Intimacy 5 is when this trope gets out of hand, and being a Casanova rather than building up the Relationship Values with one or two relationships is more effective. I see your point and there is a LOT of overlap, but there's a difference.
Ninjacrat: It's this But More So? ;)
Tsundere Lightning: But Only If just going through the motions a LOT more rather than developing the relationship is "But More So."
—- Removed the following. It doesn't actually give you a statistical benefit, and is therefore not an example of the trope - Tsundere Lightning.
- The other Deus Sex Machina (the first being intimate healing) used in Fate Stay Night is Rin/Shirou, in which after lots of teasing and flirting suddenly they need to have sex right now in order to give Shirou enough mana to be able to activate his Reality Marble. And it's badass when he does.
