Um. Well. You remember all those references to a Caligula Effect 2 conversation we were gonna have at the end of last episode? Well, it got really really long, and we split it off into it’s own episode. It’s an odd duck episode, but I think we have a lot of good conversations!

Moon Archive 23: Interlude! Caligula Effect 2 Spoilercast

Fate/moon archive is an affectionate deep dive into the worlds of Type Moon, the makers of Fate/grand order and associated works. Join hosts Benn Ends (they/she) and fen (fae/faer) as we go back to the beginning of the company as a doujin circle, working our way up (loosely) chronologically, playing, watching, and discussing in depth the themes, ideas, and execution of this long running and fascinatingly flawed series, through a queer lens.

We close out Kagetsu Tohya at long last with the remaining Ten Nights of Dream, the Summer Festivals, and Dreaming Drinking Moon! It’s our first little foray into Type-Moon stuff not written by Nasu, for better and worse! We also talk a lot about our yuri teatime for the week being a Caligula Effect 2 spoilercast, but to spare you all a 6.5 hour episode we spun that out into it’s own episode, so look forward(?) to that as our next episode before we get into the OG Melty Blood!Link to Beast Lair translation of the rest of Dreaming Drinking Moon: https://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/4867-Misty-Moonlit-Night-%28by-Takehaya%29Link to Moon Archive Schedule Masterlist: https://1drv.ms/x/s!Agg4NXdW28he0eYSrZsvTXlzqV2L5A?e=vLEzfUSection Timestamps:intro - 0:00:00flower of thanatos - 3:37hisui-chan, inversion impulse! - 22:50the tohno family con game - 36:17dawn - 1:14:50summer festivals - 1:34:06drinking, dreaming moon // misty moonlight night - 1:48:12kagetsu tohya wrapup - 2:13:08outro - 2:43:38Caligula talk - 2:46:23outtakes - 2:51:43{LIST OF NON TYPE-MOON WORKS REFERENCED}Caligula Effect 2Featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends) and fen (@fenic_fox).Email us at cryingrulesactually@gmail.com with questions, comments, and compliments.Content warnings for discussions involving: Violence, careless handling of topics of mental health, sexual assault, underage drinking, incest, misogyny, and death.Cover art by Benn Ends, Intro music by Benn Ends, all other music taken from Kagetsu Tohya.

Moon Archive 22: Kagetsu Tohya [Ten Nights Of Dream Stories 7-10 And The Rest]

Kagetsu Tohya continues with a series of short stories ranging from “this is excellent actually” to “uggggghhhhh”. We were hoping to knock em all out in one episode, but ehhhh this one just barely qualifies as our longest episode ever as is so that didn’t happen. Today we’re covering ‘Good Luck Ciel-Sensei!’, ‘A Story For The Evening’, ‘Crimson Moon’, ‘Red Demon God’, ‘Nanako-chan SOS!’, and ‘Imogirisou’.

You know, like how in a normal podcast the summary would be the first 20 minutes and the rest of the podcast would be a normal discussion. We’ve got discussion of Kohaku’s challenging backstory, praise for our favorite chad Akiha, and finally reveal the mysteries of what the fuck a fruit knife isSection Timestamps:Actual discussion start - 7:06Outro - 2:26:27Featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends) and fen (@fenic_fox), and special guest Peregrin (@TerrificBRoth)Content warnings for discussions of: Violence, gore, child sexual abuse, sexual assault, careless handling of depictions of mental health, incest, sex scenes involving underage characters, non-consensual drugging, misogyny, death, and suicide.Cover art by Benn Ends, Intro music by Benn Ends, Interlude music and outro music taken from Tsukihime.

Moon Archive 15: Tsukihime [Kohaku Days 10-End]

So, me and fen faced a crossroads when editing this recording. Did we want to make our longest episode over, or one normal length one and one short one. We decided to split it up, mostly cuz we didn’t have time to edit a 6.5 hour recording. So, bit of a light episode, but it’s definitely a fun one!Shiki once again is struggling to figure out which maid is which while also reeling from a mysterious vision of his own death in his dreams. Ordinary Shiki stuff. Kohaku continues to have an extremely normal one, and also, Akiha is just in a great mood. How nice!Section Timestamps:Day 7: Evil At Every Corner I - 11:55Day 8: Evil At Every Corner II - 1:19:09Day 9: Origami - 1:46:43Outro - 2:22:44Featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends) and fen (@fenic_fox)Content warnings for discussions of: Violence, gore, child sexual abuse, sexual assault, careless handling of depictions of mental health, incest, sex scenes involving underage characters, non-consensual drugging, misogyny, death, and suicide.Cover art by Benn Ends, Intro music by Benn Ends, Interlude music and outro music taken from Tsukihime.

First off, audio quality is not ideal in this episode. Me and fen are recording in the same room on two mics and we haven’t worked out the kinks yet. Anyway,We’ve been ill for so long, and finally, cheerful Kohaku is here to give us our legally and ethically questionable medicine. The final route in the Far Side has arrived! We already know her biggest secret from the end of her sister Hisui’s route, but now we get to ask ourselves “How will it all go wrong?”Next episode will cover days 7 through the end of the Kohaku route! But, as we say in this episode, the wrap up discussion where we go over the route as a whole and our thoughts on it will be in a separate, shorter episode.Section Timestamps:Day 1: Inversion Impulse I - 14:45Day 2: Inversion Impulse II - 44:36Day 3: Inversion Impulse III - 1:03:59Day 4: Cradle Garden - 1:16:06Day 5: Cain I - 2:12:11VI: Future Vision Future Death - 2:59:20Day 6: Cain II - 3:07:19Wrap Up - 3:59:24Featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends) and fen (@fenic_fox)Content warnings for discussions of: Violence, gore, child sexual abuse, sexual assault, careless handling of depictions of mental health, incest, sex scenes involving underage characters, misogyny, death, and suicide.Cover art by Benn Ends, Intro music by Benn Ends, Interlude music and outro music taken from Tsukihime.

Moon Archive 13: Tsukihime [Kohaku Days 1-6]

Fate/moon archive is an affectionate deep dive into the worlds of Type Moon, the makers of Fate/grand order and associated works. Join hosts Benn Ends (they/she) and fen (fae/faer) as we go back to the beginning of the company as a doujin circle, working our way up (loosely) chronologically, playing, watching, and discussing in depth the themes, ideas, and execution of this long running and fascinatingly flawed series, through a queer lens.
