But there was a period of friction, when “hello” was spreading beyond its summoning origins to become a general-purpose greeting, and not everyone was a fan. I was reminded of this when watching a scene in the BBC television series Call the Midwife, set in the late 1950s and early 1960s, where a younger midwife greets an older one with a cheerful “Hello!” “When I was in training,” sniffs the older character, “we were always taught to say ‘good morning,’ ‘good afternoon,’ or ‘good evening.’ ‘Hello’ would not have been permitted.” To the younger character, “hello” has firmly crossed the line into a phatic greeting. But to the older character, or perhaps more accurately to her instructors as a young nurse, “hello” still retains an impertinent whiff of summoning. Etiquette books as late as the 1940s were still advising against “hello,” but in the mouth of a character from the 1960s, being anti-hello is intended to make her look like a fussbudget, especially playing for an audience of the future who’s forgotten that anyone ever objected to “hello.”
I figured I would show you all how my essay is going with some screenshots. Keyword being some, though. This isn't my entire essay, I've written plenty of paragraphs that aren't here.

Hoo boy, I've had this idea for a long time. Summer Mephistopheles with a pillow fight theme! (Mephy gets actual pajamas at Stage 2, don't worry)
For those who's favorite servant has yet to have a summer alt: draw your fav servant's summer alt! Or, for non fate fans: what does your fav wear to the beach?
Thanks for your willingness to check! I probably should’ve clarified, though, I meant out of all the Heroic Spirits in F/GO.
I tried researching it myself, but I can’t exactly trust the Type-Moon wiki.
I remember the Grand Order wiki (as opposed to the Fate/Grand Order wiki, they’re separate sites) listed all the Heroic Spirits in the game who have the “F/GO Newcomer” trait, but I think the Grand Order wiki was removed from the internet. I mean, I can’t find that site anywhere now!
A question for my essay due Wednesday (the date got pushed back):
How many of playable Heroic Spirits in F/GO debuted in a different Type-Moon work prior to Fate/Grand Order's release (July 29th, 2015)?
A question for my essay due Wednesday (the date got pushed back):
Out of all the playable Heroic Spirits in F/GO, and counting variants as separate Heroic Spirits, what percentage of them debuted in a different Type-Moon work prior to Fate/Grand Order's release (July 29th, 2015)?
