All-Purpose Nasuverse Fanfiction Thread

That's why I said "low-level".

... BTW, is the thing that became his NP really named "Taa"?

IANCE: Thanks for the catch.

Taa is Galactus' spaceship (named after his long gone native world, which existed before the creation of this universe) and which holds the machinery he uses to consume planets.

Because the image of Galactus with a giant fork and knife just taking chunks out of the world to eat is too hilarious to be true.

Man. I need to put up some of the ideas I've had for Servants who should never be summoned as well.

I'd nearly forgotten about it.

I think Medusa counts for the same reason Chiron counts. They may have been born as gods, but they were rendered mortal for whatever reason and died as such. As far as the world is concerned, they died as humans.

That's how I figure it.

... Wasn't Medusa a completely mortal girl that got raped by Poseidon in a temple of Athena and was cursed to be the form she was by Athena for 'defiling her temple'?

Crap, I can't actually remember.

I remember it because I conciliated the reason Rider is so hot is because Medusa herself was supposed to be uber-beautiful.

Ya, that's how I remember it too.

@Shlugo: No, Cu stabbed him before Saber ever entered the scene. That fell under 'silencing witnesses'.

There are several different accounts on Medusa's origins. According to one, Medusa and her two sisters were children of the primordial deities and sea-monsters Phorcys and Ceto.

@Galactus parody: ... Galactus with his own kitchen utensils for eating worlds looks awesome.

Medusa is one of those figures who have multiple conflicting backstories. Nasu follows the "youngest of the three Gorgons" one, and not the "priestess of Athena who got raped by Poseidon, then got blamed and punished for it".

EDIT: Assassin'd.

No, he combined the two.

On a completely separate occasion he stabbed him to make Saber fight him.

Which route was this? Or do you mean stabbed at instead of managing to stab? Because given Gae Bolg's curse, that would have been fatal a second time around.

Fridge Realization: Saber is MUCH more cautious against the Irish guy with the red spear in her second war. She no longer even letting herself so much as grazed by the spear, even before she identified Cu. Apparently she learned her lesson with Diarmuid: Irishmen with red spears, NASTY!

No, in every route Shirou gets stabbed by Gae Bolg, dies, is brought back by Rin, and then summons Saber to prevent a second case of stabbity stabs.

Didn't Shirou get stabbed in Fate when he found Kiries room of "mana batteries".

Yes, but that wasn't to provoke Saber, that was just to kill Shirou.

Hell, he can get stabbed by Saber too in one Bad End.

Shirou is just good at getting stabbed. He spend the last few minutes of Heavens Feel being stabbed..... untraditionally stabbed mind you, but still.

Shirou is a Stab Magnet.

Must be Sword element shenanigans fucking with him.

.... You realize that actually makes far more sense then you may have intended right?

So his actual perfect match is Caren, who gets stabbed from the inside as often as he gets stabbed from the outside?

......

Dunno. Still never seen Hollow Ataraxia.

Rob: Actually, no, it makes exactly as much sense as I intended.

... I think Rob actually has a point, Eva. His Origin is Sword, and he gets stabbed a lot, from the outside or the inside. Heck, you could say that metaphorically, he also gets "stabbed" a lot by Saber's and Rin's "swords" whenever he's in a relationship with them (read: He's not the dominant partner in the relationship, which is traditionally a masculine trait).

... Come to think of it, Rin doesn't have a lot of traditionally feminine traits (like being able to cook, or homemaking), whereas Shirou does have some of them (again, cooking and homemaking).

Well, Rin can cook, just not as good as Shirou can.
