... isn't Saber chronologically like... twenties? Older? From her perspective, anyway. She's

I think Saber's actually cradle robbing fairly fiercely. Pretty good chance Taiga (or whoever it is that's Shirou's guardian) could hit her with a statutory rape charge, anyway.

... actually, now that I think about it, Kirei might have been able to, too. Which would be... kinda' hilarious, and probably right up his alley. I'd totally read a fanfic based off that premise.

Or wait, was it prana? I don't remember the terminology exactly.
Probably prana. Unless it was od, but... probably prana.

And yeah, for all that FS/N has provided a lot of awesome stuff, it is a setting that had a threesome as a fairly major plot point, and the original Illya was one of those "actually 500 18 years old" things. Or somewhere thereabouts -- base Illya's usually older than Shirou, who's... 16, 17 at base? Just arrested (physical) growth due to that whole uh. Spoiler redacted thing. Somewhere in those ranges, anyway. Which does make the base form assimilation into prisma (with the notably downshifted ages) understandably unsettling for those unsettled by such.

*deadly, SRW-aligned stare*

Then there's the almost-RotK (?) SD gundam series. And basically every SD-styled gundam game. I think in making your assumption you're ignoring a huge amount of existent data points, Neo.

Like. Almost all of them? If the SD stuff has been marketed to females, it... would appear that the attempt is entirely hidden from any actual produced products related to it. At least any that I've seen.

And we've only seen... what, three, four? SD gundams in build fighters. Total. I'd probably say it's too early to note a strong gender bias in their assignation. If we get another dozen and they're all female piloted, then... maybe.

Would you not assume that prophecies God gives to humans on Earth apply to humans on Earth? I mean, he's doing it for some reason. "Someone in the Andromeda galaxy is going to do X" or "An ant will do Y" are pretty pointless.
It's YWHW. Who the hell knows what its reason is?

If a divinely given prophecy can fit an ant, who can say it is not about the ant? YWHW, and it isn't talking.

Mind you, the bigger issue is the prophecy in question fitting dozens of different people or situations along with however many untold billions of ants, but eh. Prophetic vagueness has always been its only strength, I guess. Barring weather reports, anyway.

Or assigned the wrong event as fulfilling the prophecy in question. It's incredibly rare that one can't be fulfilled by, like. Dozens upon dozens of different events. And that is assuming they can't be fulfilled by non-human animals (I'd bet a non-zero monetary amount (if I had it to spare) that the entirety of revelations has occurred to ants, at some point or another), different realities, things on other planets, incidental rock formations, straight up fiction... prophecy that's not incredibly specific is skeevy as hell at best.

Like, you need specific lat/long coordinates, specified calendar and time system, exact number of years from point of prediction, probably stellar coordinates and specification of actors, confirmation it is, indeed, occurring in this reality, etc., so forth, so on. Otherwise there's going to be more fulfillment conditions than you can shake a stick at.

I'd rather just give them a buck through alternate means and acquire the mp3 through alternate means, as well. I dislike iTunes enough I don't even want to contribute to its download count, in all honesty. Fucker was about as bad as McAfee the last time I dealt with it, and my hatred of it is subsequently that of a thousand burning suns.

It was a goddamn nightmare the last time I had to deal with ripping it out of a computer. Maybe it's not as bad nowadays, but... no.

Maybe they have a physical mailing address I can snail mail a dollar bill to?
E: Ah, donate button. That'll do.

Certainly not, science is still, by far, the best intellectual tool we ever designed. (Sorry philosophers)
What? Why are you apologizing to the people that originally designed science?

I... actually hadn't heard that before. Frumple likes.

Now if only the official way to get it wasn't apparently iTunes, because even though I wouldn't mind dropping the critter that made that song a buck, there's no way in hell I'm shitting up my computer with that monstrosity.

Honey, there is zero misunderstanding going on there. What you're seeing is the infinite power of shipping, particularly of the "yaoi fangirl" (and I guess fanboys, too) variety. They know, but they don't care.

E: Actually watching ep 2 of try. That little redheaded bastard stole the old man's kick! It's obviously weaker, because scrub is scrub, but still! The disrespect!

Kitbashiiiiiing.

Kitba shiing, too.

E: And can I just say that the music/sound direction for Build Fighters -- including what we've seen of try so far -- is pretty damn good? It's pretty damn good.

Just did the laundry.

I have five single socks.

Why.
This is what happens with socks.

The solution is to wear clothing that conceals the sock-area and proceed to not give a damn. If one sock is vibrant neon green and the other dull pink, no one will care if no one can see them.

Or better yet, don't. And then hopefully no one mention it again.

That's one of the big advantages to listening to music with vocals in languages you don't know, yes.

There's a handful of genres it actually tends to massively improve, imo. Rap and various sorts of gospel, ferex.

... that scenario doesn't actually say whether they've been tested long-term or not, PoH.
