Fate/moon archive

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 100: Seabed [Chapters 7 & 8]

    each morning i wake up, do my morning exercises, and eat breakfast. each evening i eat dinner and lay down to sleep. i don't mind this simple routine. or, didn't. i had the time between to fill with work, chatting with friends, flirting with the nurse, and reading. but now... ever since i started reading her journal... i feel myself ever more trapped by routine. stifled by the world that has been constructed for me. lonely. i want to see them again. i want to see my cohost one last time. to say goodbye? to settle my feelings. to confirm that there's no way that i could be happy in a world that lacks their warmth, in a world that was so clearly created by their imagination that i can feel it in every hallway, in every tree, in every person i talk to, but that is lacking their presence even so. it's almost time to say goodbye, dear listener. but not quite yet. let us play in this world a little longer. next time, we'll be covering the remainder of seabed. for yuri teatime we'll be doing the the 2023 visual novel lilja and natsuka: painting lies. 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 moon archive schedule masterlist: http://moonarchive.art/schedule section timestamps:intro - 0:00yuri teatime - 1:21usonatsu ~the summer romance bloomed from a lie~ - 12:17seabed - 2:02:50outro - 2:53:39 list of non type-moon works referencedusonatsu ~the summer romance bloomed from a lie~ this episode carries content warnings for discussions of child abuse, grooming, heteropatriarchy, age gap relationships, and goodbyes. 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 98: Seabed [Chapters 1-3]

    Hello dear listeners. I know you're here to hear about the rest of Seabed. It's just. Lately I find myself thinking about my old cohost and partner, from whom I've been separated for several years now. To be honest, I don't clearly remember what lead to the breakup. But I feel a strange longing in my heart, and pain in my skull, when I think back on the face fae made on that day. Ah. I'm sorry, I'm tearing up a bit. But it will be okay. I've moved on. Seabed is going to take a few more episodes, but we'll be covering chapters 1-3 and all the unlocked Tips today, as well Everlasting Flowers for Yuri Teatime. It may be difficult at times, but I have my wonderful guest hosts to help me get through the coming episodes. If only each of them didn't remind me of faer in their own way, more and more each day… Next time we'll be covering Seabed chapters 4-6, as well as SPY INTRIGUE (available on IFDB) for Yuri Teatime. Featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe).
