A Fusor Story
Posted Sep 17, 11:09 AM by cyanoacry to WTF (にゃんでやねん)
It’s about time truth be told about how my fusor actually got into operation.
I’m a rabid, teething, foaming-at-mouth Nanoha fanboy. The awesome mixture of cogent lolis combined with bleeding awesome magical technology was too much for me to handle. I was delusional.
I believed Nanoha was real. I really wanted Fate to destroy my neighborhood.
A lot of normal mahou shoujo shows dealt with issues regarding family, relationships, and what not (CCS, I’m looking at you), but none had ever quite discussed problems of such tangible severity. Precia Testarossa was an obvious psychopath, and Fate had to deal with that. There’s nothing more viceral than seeing a little girl getting whipped by her own mom. And to think that it was in a mahou shoujo show, no less, yields the fact that the Nanoha directors and scriptwriters knew exactly what the hell they were doing.
Damn, did that show have impact. Empathy for the evil characters? Never presented in such a way as this.
Well, that was nice, but I was a puny little 8th grader [US system] that couldn’t do jack about it.
And then Nanoha A’s aired, and my love for Nanoha and her friends was doubly renewed.
You’d think that the sympathizing with the enemy thing would get old after a while, but somehow Nanoha A’s managed to present it in a fresh new light.
But I digress. In any case, I was addicted to Nanoha, and Nanoha was my world. So what did I try to do now, an entire year later, landed well in the middle of my freshman high school year?
I tried to create the Starlight Breaker.
No, I’m serious. Don’t laugh. No, really!
Well, that’s the Starlight Breaker pretty much.
So I browsed the internet for a while and upon my luck I found some amateur science site that had this:
Man, I thought I was in heaven. It looked exactly like the Starlight Breaker, figures that it’d be so aptly colored and star-shaped.
As a side benefit, it did nuclear fusion. Not fission, as in power plants and bombs, but fusion. With a “u”.
So I had to build one.
$4000 later I had my own starlight breaker, also becoming 23rd person in the world to do it in a garage.
sweet.
my fusor:
And life was good.

LOL, reminds me of middle school, and wanting to be Sailor Moon, while dating Cloud Strife.
Btw, I’m not trying to be offensive by that statement. I still have my fangirlish moments (FUCKING AEGIS YEAH! I’D HIT THAT LIKE THE FIST OF AN ANGRY GOD!)
