Welcome to Fate/moon archive, a critical deep dive into the worlds of Type-Moon! Hosts Benn {Doomgender} Ends (they/she) and fen (fae/faer) start in the doujin circle days with Tsukihime, up to the internationally acclaimed Fate/stay night, and towards the modern era of Type-Moon with Fate/Grand Order. We work our way through (loosely) chronologically, playing, watching, and discussing in depth the themes, ideas, and execution of this long running series from a queer perspective. Each episode is supplemented by (loosely) related media ranging from manga, games, yuri, literature, and eroge, to preserve a diversity of lens through which to analyze our main subject. As the podcast boasting the highest opinion of Tsukihime in the English-speaking world, our taste is impeccable, our guest hosts unimpeachable, and our suffering endless. Join us, and one day, let’s meet in the digital sea.

    Moon Archive 139: Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Sky Silver [Volume 5 Acts 4, 5, Final & Special Act]

    The brief yet challenging era of Prototype comes to a close with an unbelievable, jaw dropping twist! Not from the book, but from one of your beloved hosts! For Yuri Teatime we're also wrapping up the Chiaki route of White Album 2 with some highs and some lows, which is more than could be said about the protoypically mid Fragments of Sky Silver. Next time, we'll be covering... The Toxic Yuri VN Jam 2! We'll be spending several episode discussing a portion of the unbelievable ~500 entries to the jam, tarting with a draft episode wherein the two of us determine just how many games we'll be playing this time around.

    Moon Archive 138: Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Sky Silver [Volume 5 Acts 1-3]

    white album 2 is good again?! chiaki being evil has saved us from our run of underwhelming sections of wa2. she's such a freak. also a freak? manaka, but she's deeply boring with it. volume 5 of protofragments is focused on her an unfortunately doesn't have any new insight to her character. next time, we'll be covering the remainder of protofragments. and for yuri teatime we're wrapping up chiaki's route. featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe). joined by guest of the pod katherine. support the show and get access to bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/cryingrules link to the fate/moon archive new and improved schedule: http://moonarchive.art/schedule section timestamps:intro - 0:00yuri teatime - 1:23puzzle minute - 8:36white album 2 - 16:44fate/prototype fragments of sky silver - 2:41:32outro - 3:34:22 list of non type-moon works referencedkingdom heartsseance at blake manorthe incident at galley housetype helpwhite album 2 this episode carries content warnings for discussions of sexual assault, misogyny, etc. email us at cryingrulesactually@gmail.com with questions, comments, and compliments. cover art by Benn Ends, intro music by Benn Ends, remaining music from works covered.

    Moon Archive 137: Fate/stay night Movie: UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS (2010)

    gonna be honest, we recorded this one a month and a half ago so the details escape me. unlimited blade works is bad, chiaki is intentionally(!) exhausting, you should listen. next time, we'll be covering fate/prototype fragments of sky silver v5 and the first half of the chiaki route. featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe). support the show and get access to bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/cryingrules link to the fate/moon archive new and improved schedule: http://moonarchive.art/schedule section timestamps:intro - 0:00yuri teatime - 1:14white album 2 - 26:25fate/stay night unlimited blade works (2010) - 1:32:03outro - 2:35:11 list of non type-moon works referencedwhite album 2 email us at cryingrulesactually@gmail.com with questions, comments, and compliments. cover art by Benn Ends, intro music by Benn Ends, remaining music from works covered.

    Moon Archive 136: Fate/Labyrinth

    we're wandering around a labyrinth this week along with manaka and... is that saber? real saber?? the girl one?! next time, we'll be covering unlimited blade works (2010). that's the movie, not the tv show. and for yuri teatime we're covering the chiaki bad end of white album 2. the whole thing, it's pretty short. featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe). support the show and get access to bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/cryingrules link to the fate/moon archive new and improved schedule: http://moonarchive.art/schedule section timestamps:intro - 0:00yrui teatime - 0:47white album 2 - 10:15fate/labyrinth - 2:20:54outro - 2:43:45 list of non type-moon works referencedwhite album 2 this episode carries content warnings for discussions of misogyny, sexual assault, and ageism. email us at cryingrulesactually@gmail.com with questions, comments, and compliments. cover art by Benn Ends, intro music by Benn Ends, remaining music from works covered.

    Moon Archive 135: Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Sky Silver [Volume 4 Acts 4, 5, & Special]

    it's really unfortunate that both fate/prototype and white album 2 hit their nadirs at the same time. prototype is here to remind us that women make great moms at the exclusion of everything else. over in white album 2, we start the worst route and immediately understand why it has that reputation. next time, we'll be covering the first half-ish of fate/labyrinth. for yuri teatime we're doing the remainder of the mari route. you, dear reader, don't need to read either thing. featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe). support the show and get access to bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/cryingrules link to the fate/moon archive new and improved schedule: http://moonarchive.art/schedule section timestamps:intro - 0:00yuri teatime - 1:18white album 2 - 7:10fate/prototype: fragments of sky silver - 3:00:28outro - 4:27:45 list of non type-moon works referencedwhite album 2 this episode carries content warnings for discussions of misogyny, sexual assault, and ageism. email us at cryingrulesactually@gmail.com with questions, comments, and compliments. cover art by Benn Ends, intro music by Benn Ends, remaining music from works covered.
