#fanatica

I recently played Fanatica, a BL visual novel published by CORE in 2004! For some reason I had never heard of this game before even though it's the same company that created Messiah, a game that was often talked about on BL forums like Aarinfantasy. I'm a big fan of Carnelian's art which was one of the main reasons I played the game, and it was recently announced that Carnelian is also working on another BL game!

Synopsis This story focuses on protagonist Arshile, who has no memory of his past and travels around Europe together with his only acquintance, Cartis. One day, they are unexpectedly invited to a cruise ship called the Fanatica. Soon after their arrival, a mysterious man approaches Arshile and asks him why he still hasn't remembered anything. "Could it be that you still haven't found anyone who truly loves you?" Throughout the story Arshile learns about his mysterious past, the sins that were committed in the past and his deep love for a certain man.

This will be separated into two parts since there are so many asteroids that have to do with the following:

Contributing to rebellion

Using your power to go against something bigger/tradition

Resilience as a stance

Drive and willpower

Intelligence and human advancement seen as a threat to others

Coming together as one group, power in numbers

Freedom, liberation

Justice

Sign of the times

Peace and Disharmony

PART 1 will focus on themes 1 - 5

Perché se torni io mi dimentico che te n'eri andato.

A volte la tua mancanza fa così male che devo chiudere gli occhi per non scoppiare a piangere.

A volte devo fingere che non sia così, per non crollare

E mi dispiace.

Giuro che mi dispiace.

Di essere cosi 'acida' quando qualcuno si interessa a me.

Di fare la 'fanatica' per proteggere la mia stupida personalità fragile.

Di fare l'indifferente quando invece vorrei piangere.

Di mettere le lenzuola sopra la testa ogni sera, perché credo di non farcela.

Di essere cosi stupidamente io

Quella stupida che, però, ti ha amato tanto.

lo penso che le persone non si dimenticano.

Non puoi dimenticare chi un giorno ti ha sorriso, chi ti ha fatto battere il cuore, chi ti ha fatto piangere per ore intere.

Le persone non si dimenticano.

Cambia il modo in cui noi vediamo, cambia il posto che occupa il cuore, il posto che occupa nella nostra vita.

Ci sono persone che hanno tirato fuori il meglio di me, eppure adesso tra noi, c'è semplicemente un semplice "ciao".

Mi hanno insegnato a diventare quello che sono.

E, anche se oggi tra noi resta solamente un sorriso o un semplice ciao, faranno per sempre parte della mia vita.

lo non dimentico nessuno.

Non dimentico chi ha toccato con mano, almeno per una volta la mia vita.

Te amo así, no tengo la culpa, no tengo motivo, no tengo razón pero te amo tanto amor y es que nunca hubo otra historia igual y si se me acusa de robarte el corazón, lo acepto, acepto cualquier cargo con tal de seguir siendo la dueña de él. 

Te amo con la dulzura del primer día, con la magia del segundo y con la ilusión que nos envuelve día a día, en la vida siempre existirán los problemas, pero juntos podremos contra cualquier cosa, hoy lo sé. 

Juntos hemos aprendido a reír de nuestras travesuras, juntos hemos aprendido a realizar nuestras locuras, juntos hemos aprendido a querer con el corazón, juntos hemos aprendido a consolarnos y escucharnos hasta en el silencio, juntos hemos aprendido a compartir mas que las horas; la vida, juntos hemos aprendido a mirar hacia el mismo horizonte, aunque nos parezca difícil, juntos hemos aprendido a caminar de la mano, sin soltarnos, juntos aprendimos a soñar, juntos hemos aprendido a superar las adversidades, juntos hemos aprendido a reírnos mas y a preocuparnos menos, juntos hemos aprendido que un te amo no queda sólo en palabras, juntos hemos aprendido a amar y juntos mi amor con todo eso y más siempre saldremos adelante.
