Certainly a change of pace from your last blog, eh? Hope things go well for the both of you, though!

Dang, I had this same problem with me for a while. And I have a solution that worked for me, as really stereotypical as it sounds.

"Fake it till you make it".

When I was in sixth form and in my first full time job, I had absolutely no self-confidence at all. I had a really low opinion of myself and so got all sense of self worth from what other people thought of me and it was kind of obvious. So I started pretending like I had some confidence. Although I had a few rough patches, I dwelled on the positives and when things went well I felt better about myself and because I felt better I worked better and got along with people better which in turn improved my confidence till it became genuine. Positive Feedback loop. Not that it always works and again it sounds cheesy.

As for your friend, it's better to be honest and more direct.

I can understand how it feels to have a low confidence, man. I'd deprecate myself from time to time. But I had heard, that, being self deprecating won't help me land a job or anywhere at all, obviously enough. Still trying to mend myself.

You should be more open towards your friend, though.

Thats All Japan.

I'm glad someone here is watching LU though
It really is the best thing in wrestling right now. Heres hoping season 2 carries it o

I've seen some of that. Those guys are stiff as fuck. With moves like The Burning Hammer, how do they not kill ten guys in the ring per year?

Go watch New Japan.

I thought it was a play on Lich, to be honest.

Thanks for the catch. I typed this up in the dead of night, and I'm seeing a lot of little errors now that I go back and reread it.

I'm still kind of partial to the idea of Fate/Grand Zouken, though.

So turns out Stich is actually a word, but I don't think it's the one you intended to use!

Doubly so since Kiritsugu's methodology is aesthetically similar to the Tohno's hired guns that were used as part of the assault on the Nanayas (for all the good it did them).

Great idea, IRUN

I had originally thought to play it as completely one-sided. For all of Kiritsugu's obsessing and Kiri realizing Kiritusug was there that night, when the time comes for them to confront each other, Kiri just doesn't care. He has a way of accepting death as a part of life, so he's not particularly torn up over it and sees Kiritsugu as just another body.

On the flip side, giving Kiri cause to hunt Kiritsugu could really ratchet up the tension. I had already figured that he would throw himself wholeheartedly into the Caster hunt when Gilles's demons get his blood boiling, but once Kiri realizes Rider herself is something other than human, she and her Master shoot up to the top of his kill list. Who knows? I might even be able to wed the two ideas as Kiri begins hunting down Team Rider as a holdover from his demon slaying days and slaps Kiritsugu in the face with an anticlimax when it comes to light that he only cares about Kerry in as much as he's the monster's Master. The whole time Kiritsugu has been sweating bullets and trying to plan for a scenario where Kiri's "vendetta" against him makes him reckless and aggressive enough to fall into a trap, but it all falls apart when Kiri remains his unflappable self.

On another note, I'm really flattered. I admire you as an author, and I just saw you commenting about how you typically avoid Fourth War stories. Who knew that I could cook up one of the few pitches to break the trend?

Not a dude dating thing, actually

stopped reading here

This is rather thought out so I have to say I'm impressed at what you've created here.

Really I don't think the time is much of an issue at the very most the difference between Kiritsugu and Kiri is about ten years I would think.

This sounds interesting. Good Luck. I want to see Illya/shiki interaction. Also FSN is 2004 and Tsuki is 2000. I think.

when i first read arashi's thing my idea was instently kiri with traits from kirigutsu and illya acting a bit like shiki (with his powers) a scene for her to get the eyes (being "killed" by a servant) and Kiri going insane and starting a killing spree. Otherwise the same to zero but with kiri and how he would do it. No kirigutsu. (Explanation for how it's possible Rin's jewel experiments with Len interference creating a dream that the fate cast experience the zero plot but the character are effected by the personalities and what not of tsuki cast. I.e zouken acts a bit like Roa.

Be careful, they can sneak up on you.

Football and soccer moms are about as divorced of concepts as there can be.

Us and the French and the Italians have a lot lower drinking ages and play a lot more football. It's Puritans all the way down.

Not actually Puritans. It's the soccer moms, mang. MADD a shit.

Omniscience and divination come as part of the mod package. Be grateful I only use them to steal what people wanted to say.

Came to post the same thing, was beaten to it.
