alright here’s some options

play the original visual novel. I have downloads for it here. it’s around 80 hours of playtime without going out of your way for bad ends, but it’ll give you all 3 routes in all their 2004 glory. personally i feel the earlier you play the vn the better, because the more nasuverse exposition you absorb from other stuff the more of a slog it is to get through all the explanations of stuff you already know but which was still completely new back then. aside from giving you the routes you haven’t seen on the big screen yet it also has a bunch of stuff ubw anime left out, so if you want Lore that’s absolutely where to go. cu chulainn is there.

OR

play fate/hollow ataraxia. it’s a sequel to fate/stay night and gets better if you at least sorta know what happens in each route, but it doesn’t directly follow any of them and I played it before I finished heaven’s feel at the time. it’s another 80-ish hour visual novel because fate be like that. I don’t have downloads ready for it but there’s both a translation patch and a voice patch, no censor patch as far as i know tho. cu chulainn is there even more than in fsn. shirou calls him a fine man. 

OR

god. all my sympathies. i feel you on a deeply spiritual level.

I think it'll be better to post them even if it's incomplete! Better some than nothing, right? owo

I'd say post it anyway, yeah. maybe with a request for anyone who does have to chime in?

Go for it!!! Someone may be able to submit missing pieces as well!!

Here is what I shall do, since everyone agrees some is better than none!  The Tales of Link wikia has transcripts of events!! I will include all the images I have, and for any images I am missing, I will put in the dialogue from the missing segment, which can later be replaced with an image if one becomes available!!

I believe my first post shall be...

Shadow of the Fes -Bond of the Swordsman-

(aka the 2015 Tales Festival event that was a Zelos clash and featured the Tales of Destiny cast plus Judas and Elrane, as well as Kana and Zelos)

I appreciate your fierceness, honestly, having never myself been good at it. even when I disagree with your opinion I respect your passion and reasonings and willingness to defend it? and this aspect of fandom makes me just as angry and exhausted. sympathies.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

tbh whenever I feel like this I make really positive fanart out of spite. I am aggressively passive

This is the Ideal™, and definitely what I should do, but lately especially I feel like I’ve been so low energy that it’s difficult for me to write things of quality. I know that’s just a personal block talking, and I need to just write through it (because the only way to get past creative blocks of any kind is just to keep hitting them until they shatter), but I also know that it probably has a lot to do with chronic depression and other mental illnesses that . . . don’t break no matter how many times you hit them. But that’s a personal problem and not something you need to concern yourself with, haha.

oh my god?? im so glad

For another fanfic writer ask meme

8. What kind of document do you use to you write? Microsoft Word? Google Docs? Straight in the AO3 text box?

Usually Gdocs these days so I can shove them at Certain People while they’re WIPs, but used to use Word for them all

11. How many words do you have on AO3 (if you use that platform)

That's a bit hard to know for sure since I have some collab fics that are partially my words, partially not...

But out of the fic that is 100% mine, that should be about...

62,314 on my "normal" account and 56,199 on my "Weird Shit" account, so about 118,513 between the two. (It's somewhat more than that but it'd be a pain calculating how much of any given collab fic is my words vs not lol)

17. Are there any writers and/of stories that you consider an influence?
