Fate/Collapsing World

Assigning Rin the responsibility for that is rude and untrue, that was all his own idea and she was more shocked than anyone else.
Mostly because Command Seals unfortunately don't necessarily only appear on the back of the hand.
i think that falls under noticing guys
Issei isn't actually gay despite all the fan jokes about him. If anything we find him asexual, yet sort of also more into women considering he feels embarrased about feeling attracted to Rin and Caster (it's implied his claims on them being vixens aren't just due to him feeling they hide a side of themselves but also because he feels both are sort of devilish and frankly hot. And he, as a monk in training, finds that kind of feeling not good for him).

Granted that's canon FSN Issei. Here things might be different.

Yeah, Fu Hua just doesn't do relationships by and large. She has interest but she will never make a move. If the other side makes the first move we enter the realm of maybe, but even then she has a gigantic bushel of issues re relationships.
Spoiler explanation? Cause HI3 has been through far too many retcons to parse the information. Especially if you're taking bits an pieces from them all across.

she has literally watched any and all of her friends wither and die while she stays young. Not to mention that a significant amount of people she does get close with usually ends up stabbing her in the back.

My own joke is that he has innate Detect Evil, which is why Rin gets that reaction from him while he immediately decides Saber is a paragon of good character. More reasonably he isn't really attracted to Rin, but he's perceptive enough he knows she's faking and he doesn't know what she's hiding so he doesn't trust or really like her.

He doesn't actually think Caster is a vixen in FSN - he's attracted to her (which he considers quite troubling) but his brain was probably scrambled enough by her spells that his perceptiveness couldn't really come into play.

I'd say he's bi. He's definitely capable of attraction to women, but his behaviour when Shirou strips him reads strongly as 'my crush said what'. Either way he plans to be a monk and tries to avoid engaging with his sexuality at all - it's less important to him than, and in the way of, his overall life plans.

Basically as CKK said. For Various Reasons that CKK outlines she's really loathe to open herself up on any kind of particularly deep level, because she knows it's gonna get her hurt eventually. You basically need to love steamroller her to get her into a relationship, because she's not going to initiate even if she has interest, and will only really go with it if she already has those deep feelings and can't really avoid them anymore.

It's probably happened a time or two but it's something she avoids unless you shift the 'it's gonna be a great time we have together' vs 'it's gonna suck when it ends' calculus.
 
Personally, i'd put my money on Kiana pulling Shirou out of his shell.

She's too stupid to understand the concept of failure and too blunt/foreign to care about japanese dignity.
 
All right, I'll be closing vote in about 24 hoursish.

Article:
[11] The House of Kaslana has only met Shirou recently, and its youngest daughter is wandering the world, unlikely to remain in Fuyuki for all that long. The house may be more of a tent, to be honest. But by coincidence, they met, and the girl's lonely road brought her into contact with Shirou. It wasn't a fateful meeting, nor was it one rich in meaning, but it was a fun one. She doesn't expect to see him again, but she enjoyed it while she had it.
[8] The House of Matou, on the other hand, has many of its own concerns, but has never really been able to ignore Shirou. For better or worse, both its son and its adopted daughter have been drawn towards him - a recipe for trouble, when two people with many issues already between them find themselves wanting the same thing.
[7] The House of Tohsaka never revolved around Shirou, but it certainly paid attention to him. Rin misses him a bit, but she's got her own things going on, and honestly, she's never bored. She'd kinda like to be bored, honestly.
[1] The House of Emiya is absent the 'Emiya' part, but he was never really alone in that place. Taiga and Sakura don't sleep there, but they're very much part of the household and still have the habit of cooking and eating their meals there, odd as it may be to meet up in someone else's house entirely for that.


Looks like Tuna's on the menu, though it could shift by then.
 
Huh, I'm actually surprised the Matou option is in 2nd place. Kinda was expecting for only a handfull to vote it, especially when we remember how much 'attention' people give to Shinji in general compared to other characters...

I have no idea, but don't worry, I included it in my tally.

Closin' the vote now.

A victory for Tuna, barely. And so, we shall see what Tuna is doing and thinking next update.
 
....jeebus, this poor kid. So basically we're going to need Rin, Fu Hua, and possibly several other to tie him to a bed, sweetly ravish him thoroughly, all the while holding his hand and explaining that he is loved and valued and hot? Or will that either fail to get the message through, or be disbelieved?
A person I talk to believes that were Anne & Mary ever to meet him, they'd probably kidnap him due to him hitting their buttons after doing something brave in front of them.

That Shirou would probably hit Anne & Mary's buttons super hard if they were in a Grail War with him as a Master (either theirs or as an opponent).

Isn't Shirou's cooking specialty Japanese and Chinese cooking, in all his main iterations I think thats what it was said to be.
 
Archer's might have grown to encompass Chinese, but Shirou is purely Japanese as of FSN - when Rin first cooks a Chinese meal he mentions his opinion of Chinese cuisine had been pr low before.

Specifically Shirou seems to have gotten his opinion of Chinese cuisine from that restaurant Kotomine likes, so it seems Shirou mostly thought Chinese food was super spicy and greasy.

What's kind of hilarious, I find, is that Rin is really great at Chinese but fails at miso soup.
 
Just felt like this belonged here.

"How To Confuse A Shirou" sounds like the next video from the people who made "How To Confuse Your Cat".
