I’d have to ask @mer0v.bsky.social how he feels about the monstrous nature of women in works from femme id’ing Western authors. He has more experience there.

That allows het relationships space for reflection and collaboration between partners The men in het ships are often less directly responsible for the monstrous nature of the women, unlike in Western counterparts which dwell on corruption in relationships. Thinking of Jim Butcher works specifically

TM women are given permission to be monstrous in a way that is uncommon in urban fantasy, especially in the number of women who are allowed be to deeply monstrous in the same space I also feel the flavours of monstrous shown in the men are profoundly different, at least compared to Western examples

For sure. I think there’s a duality of people who want to bio-hack but who are also fearful of what could be lurking in the test results and instead go on vibes. Within my speciality, it’s not unheard of for patients to need transplants because of unmonitored supplementation.

I wonder if “T Makes you angry” is also related to the general public wanting to blame meds for personal actions, esp with your comparisons to cis men. I’ve seen “makes you angry” applied to low dose short course prednisone. Anything to avoid accountabity, I swear.

If you made it this far, I hope you learned something mildly interesting about Ordeal Call 3. I suspect there's many science fiction references I didn't catch. Please share if there's any I overlooked!

Finally, Edison's Spirit Phone is an actual mystery from real life. Was it real? Was it a shitpost? For reasons unknown to me, there's only a French Wiki article discussing it. Blavatsky and Olcott are mentioned! fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A9...

Last Slot doesn't seem to be specifically a SF reference but it is a step in speedsolving Rubik's Cubes. Although, I did see that image on a wiki and said "lol mooncell"

Teddog | 🥐🍵 @teddog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Beckman is a SE.RA.PH reference, but it's also a Silicon Valley reference. I have a whole headcanon here, I'll spare you all for the moment.

Teddog | 🥐🍵 @teddog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I tried to figure out if there's any New Wave references in the supporting cast. I don't think so. The best I got was Ben being a shout out to Ben Bova. If you want to go into more recent SF, Okabe could be from Steins;Gate? The cast names in SE.RA.PH include references, it was worth a shot.

Teddog | 🥐🍵 @teddog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Instead, we get a Dark Star reference that might also be a very convoluted Total Recall reference. The "talking to a bomb" bit is probably a reference to the film Dark Star, co-written by Dan O'Bannon. O'Bannon also co-wrote Total Recall, which was adapted from a Dick short story.

Teddog | 🥐🍵 @teddog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Where Nasu reveals their hand is in lack of any major Blade Runner references. The closest is the map music sounding a little bit like Vangelis. Blade Runner is a keystone piece of both Dick adaption and Cyberpunk media. OC3 intentionally avoids a lot of Cyberpunk aesthetics. So, no Blade Runner.

110

Teddog | 🥐🍵 @teddog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

As for Dick, his novels Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said are referenced in Section titles The alleged Human-AI War in 2299 seems to be inspired by his short story Vulcan's Hammer. The Kiara subplot might be inspired by We Can Remember It for You Wholesale

120

Teddog | 🥐🍵 @teddog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Both colonies have a secret weapons built into the lunar infrastructure (underground catapult/Burj Khalifa railgun). Kiara misquotes (a mistranslation?) of "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch" or TANSTAAFL, a central theme to the politics in Heinlein's novel. Those politics aren't in OC3.

110

Teddog | 🥐🍵 @teddog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The title is referenced during the Epilogue by Andersen. Both plots involve an AI running a lunar colony (HOLMES IV/BB Dubai) full of humans who can no longer return to Earth. Both AIs are originally formless but gain human-like appearances, albeit through different circumstances.

Teddog | 🥐🍵 @teddog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

We can contrast New Wave with Cyberpunk, which is how I would normally classify the Extraverse. This will get a little bit complicated later. Let's start with Heinlein. OC3 is most transparently a homage to his 1966 novel, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress.

120

Teddog | 🥐🍵 @teddog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

New Wave SF dates back to the 1960s and 70s. The writers most heavily referenced in OC3 are Robert A. Heinlein and Philip K. Dick. There's others that pop up as well, like Frank Herbert. Asimov isn't New Wave and note how the OC3's AIs discuss moving past the Laws of Robotics that Asimov codified.

Teddog | 🥐🍵 @teddog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I promised a small Ordeal Call 3 reference thread, so we're getting one. I've seen people claim that OC3 was an excuse to put more Fate/Extra into FGO. I went in expecting Extraverse and more Cyberpunk. I instead found Nasu writing an elaborate homage to New Wave science fiction.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! I feel a lot of people are put off by the scifi elements of the wider Fate setting, yet it’s really clear to me that so much love has been put into them. The tail end was pretty much that “Lie Down / Try Not to Cry / Cry A Lot” meme.

Teddog | 🥐🍵 @teddog.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I don’t know, guys. I had a lot of fun with OC3. I’m sorry a bunch of you didn’t. I’ll probably write up a little thread later discussing my thoughts on the inspirations and character development.

Canon has shocked me in suggesting my one of my favourite villains had kids. My favourite detail is that this Beckman’s backstory makes him closer Arnold Beckman’s namesake, Arnold Orville Beckman.

The biggest tragedy of Fate/Grand Order’s two year delay in English translation is that a storyline about transhumanism and identity with multiple references to the works of Philip K. Dick ends up releasing in the middle of multiple crises involving AI, chilling most conversations on it.

Why do humans believe only they are special? Perhaps that's at the core of what makes them human.

So if you want to think of yourself as special, fine. However; Mr. Beckman “special" things always die in the end.

I don’t know what to make of this. If it’s coincidence, it’s the spookiest one that I’ve ever encountered. If it’s somehow - as unlikely as it is, against all odds - an intentional shout-out, I’m deeply flattered and embarrassed. I’m also embarrassed to even consider this is about me.

I think what broke me is that it’s specifically a QUANTUM AI in Iceland. I used quantum AI mechanics to hand-wave some of the scifi bullshit in Overture To A Double Feature. I also know a major character in Overture, a character who is minor in canon, is referenced later in OC3.

I’ve joked about my “FGO Prophecies”, which is where fanfic ideas I’ve written somehow later pop up in canon. Up until now, it’s been strictly a comedy bit. The references to an AI Waiter and Iceland in OC3 are uncanny in the context of my fic Overture To A Double Feature. It’s genuinely spooky.

A screen shot from Fate Grand Order with the following text:

Andersen: A.D. 2010. A start-up launches the first Al designed to serve nursing homes, leading to explosive growth in the Al community.
Andersen: A.D. 2020. An Al is officially recognized as possessing humanity, making it the first in recorded history to receive human rights.
Andersen: It also says that particular AI was designed only to be waiter at a café. It had no other functionality.

A screen shot from Fate Grand Order with the following text:

Andersen: And in this world, Al wisdom won.
Andersen: For better, and for worse.
Andersen: But we digress. Getting back on track.
Andersen: A.D. 2030. A quantum Al developed in Iceland is the first recorded nonhuman intelligence to surpass the total collective computational ability of humanity.

Road Runner is the most interesting origin point of the four, as I played a ton of it at the Fiesta Fun Center at Walt Disney World’s Contemporary Resort. This would have been around 1991, putting me at the tail end of the glory days described here: www.parkeology.com/2020/02/the-...

The first video game where I strongly remember the game was Qbert, but I don’t remember the system. The first game+system origin combo was Joust for the Atari 2600. With arcades, it gets a little strange. Road Runner is burned into my brain. I don’t remember my first pinball table, though.
