Vanishing Moon — Hi, I wrote about 6k words for a thing I don’t care much about, totally normal shrining behaviour: Here’s a personal guide to Fate, Fate/Zero specifically. I uploaded this a full month ago and had hoped to announce it along with other finishing touches to the shrine; alas, that will have to wait.

I also added two illustrations (Machi Asobi vol. 9). Images from the spin-offs Fate/Zero Cafe and Capsule Servant may be added in the future if I feel like it, but for now, I’m done.

Lastly, mobile view has been adjusted; though not optimized, the site should be viewable and readable now.

oubliette.nu — Added some text cliques. Also added a link button, which I received from Mina! ❤ People in this sphere are so incredibly sweet!

joined fanlistings — Removed a bunch of subjects I no longer feel strongly about. Might do some more pruning when I feel like sending out more mails.

Emotion — Added a bunch of link buttons donated by Christina! ❤ I’m really glad for these. =x

It looks like my site activity streak has reached its end for the time being, as I will be occupied in the next while. I’m glad for these seven months, which have shown me that it is still possible (or possible again) to devote so much of my time and attention to site-crafting next to a full life.

And now for something completely different, just in time for Valentine’s Day (cheating again, as it’s past midnight here already) and Femslash February:

Vanishing Moon — a shrine and comprehensive media gallery to Irisviel von Einzbern from the light novel and anime Fate/Zero. This shrine is not a brand new 2025 work, but rather a revived project from the end of 2016 that I dusted off, polished and added to so as to share it with the world.

For the record, the layout, character profile and nearly all of the image galleries had already been finished in 2016, and uploaded for (pretty much) my eyes only. Then life happened and I lost motivation for this project on top of it. Now, eight years later, I updated the code to HTML5, upgraded Fancybox from version 1 to 5 (goodness!), edited all existing text and updated all links. I also added about 20 new illustrations and cards respectively that I have, to my immense surprise, since unearthed, in the highest quality I could find and along with their sources. Most importantly, I finally did all the research and material-gathering necessary to compile and write the “Openings & Endings”, “Audio Dramas”, “Merchandise” and “Link Collection” pages along with the credits section, and to finalize the profile.

Unfortunately, the shrine is not quite finished yet in terms of textual content. After sitting down at last to do all the research mentioned above, and reading all the Fate/Zero light novels a few weeks ago (on a whim or out of sheer tenacity), it turned out that I may have some things I want to say after all. I’m also currently playing the official (!!) English release of Fate/stay night, which may spur some thoughts. I have been hell-bent on releasing this shrine on Valentine’s Day though (you’ll see the reason on the shrine itself), and don’t want to deprive myself of that reward after all the hard work in the past month. :v Despite the missing content, everything I set out to do is already up, and the texts to follow, though hopefully substantial, are more of an afterthought with regard to my personal goals.

I hope I can wrap the remaining content up soon, and perhaps release it along with the documentation, which should be fun to write. Though it is an old project, it is a valuable exploration of various questions I consider crucial to shrine-making.
