So far, yall have made my dog. A shitzu dachshund I affectionately call a dash of shit.

Pictured below are:

1: Im not allowed to use all of my hoiseoat, I must share with him

2: I went to the bathroom and came back to him taking over the bed

3: He always insisted on being carried like this for his nearly 17 years of dach-shit. He would cry if I didnt carry him. Only I may carry him.

4: Sleepy fucker having evil dreams, I know it.

Let's irresponsibly breed a dog together!

Share as much as possible that dog gotta be atrocious by the end of the week

I've been through the life and deaths of a few Vaati servers, may I ask some questions?

What is the focus of the server? Does it cater to artists, writers, RPers, fan theorists, etc? Will it have multiple focus's?

Will it be geared towards making friends over a shared love of Vaati? Or more towards sharing creations made involving Vaati, like stories, art, or crafts? Or more on the strict side of fawning over Vaati?

Will the server be monitored with a casual yet mature sense, or strict?

I'm sorry if It sounds like I'm overthinking it, I have a lot of anxiety and need to touch grass but I live in concrete.

I think the reason I enjoy totk so much is that I held no expectation of it.

At the end of the day, its a game made to take advantage of new "fashionable" game mechanics such as huge open worlds, marketable design factors, nostalgic references, and many other cheap-marketable factors a large company would prioritize. That's it really. I don't count the storyline of botw or totk as Canon.

I treat the whole game as though the story is just Fanon AU, and its actually more enjoyable to treat it as separate from the original loz series and write my own story on the flat pieces. Fans have always filled in the blanks and carved out the flat characters anyways. Why stop now?

I treat the story in botw and totk as though it is entirely created by multiple fans writing together and getting excited to create an au world of a franchise they love. I think of it as RP like in nature, with efforts made to re-create the world to suit the AU and RP. Its people having fun RPing with friends until the original story its meant to resemble is nearly lost. Not something that should be marketed as a canon part of the Loz series, but fun on its own.

The company that owns the series needs game developers to make new games to sell with only profit in mind. The company happens to like profit, and uses passionate employees they can order about to achieve that profit. So the awesome portions come from someone who has great passion for Ganondorfs sweet slutty man tits, and then it all gets watered down by conpany profit seeking.

Nostalgia brings profit, so references that dont fit are put in. Unexpected twists bring free publicity and thus profit. Thus their bullshit in general. Visually Appealing and Important story characters create profitable merchandise. Thus allowing the grand fan of Gerudo man can to design a steamin' demon heathen to capitalize on anyone who might find themselves wanting a hot statue. Excessive symbols assigned significance are easily turned into merchandise, thus the wide variety of weaponry and items. Advertisements with hints of intruiging secrets are used only to catch the excitement of fans who crave more of their favourite series, and take their money. The potential of what the game looks like it could be is more profitable than making the game what it could have been after all. And why bother catering to fans when different groups will still hate it? Might as well disappoint everyone equally.

So was the promise of rich new story development delivered upon? Nope.

Did fans recieve an inconsistent and poorly written story without any cohesion to the series? Yes.

When fans find story cohesion sacrificed for stitching a game together, they are understandably upset.

When gameplay is crudely cobbled together as though rushed to create a sequel-not-sequel to an already disappointing game, will fans be angered? Yes.

Nintendo treats the series as a product and the fans as customers. They want money. Capitalism without consequences means quality is inferior to profit. Botw and Totk is just Consequence free Capitalism.

I was just reminiscing on how hard this fandom was shilling for a complex Ganondorf for the wilds era, and this wasn't even confined to niche parts of the fandom. Every time there was a hint that Ganondorf might be involved in some way, the fandom went wild with speculation. It's like people these days, when defending TotK's poor handling of Ganondorf's writing, forget that a complex Ganondorf, or at least a Ganondorf that had a bit more character depth than a puddle on sidewalk, was something *everyone* wanted. Most people were not content with an "evil for the sake of being evil" Ganondorf.

When the first trailer and images of BotW dropped, a lot of people saw the cloth around Link's forearms and noticed the patterning there. Many thought it was similar to Gerudo patterning. Lo and behold people began speculating that Link may have a close relationship with the Gerudo, and perhaps with Ganondorf him. Cue all the theories and fanart and fanfic of Link and Ganondorf growing up together, being close friends, knowing each other, before Ganondorf's turn to darkness. Okay so as BotW's release approaches we learn about Calamity Ganon and then we see this mysterious old man. He seems pretty large in stature and is dark skinned. Cue the second wave of rumor mills that this may be Ganondorf. Perhaps a weary old washed up soul, or perhaps a manipulation tactic while his real form, the calamity, keeps Zelda trapped inside the castle. The tapestry with the red haired hero. This one causes a big wave of rumors that perhaps the past hero was a Gerudo, maybe an iteration of Ganondorf.

The first trailer for TotK drops, we see the murals, Ganondorf's corpse, what looks like a horrifying vision of how he ended up here. Rehydrated Ganondorf starts trending. People are wild with speculations of who he was. Many link him to the hero on the tapestry. Most speculation about Ganondorf now is what sort of horrendous thing happened to him that he would end up here, and less about how evil he must have been to end up here. The official "rehydrated Ganondorf" art drops. Everyone sees his design, how he seems more heroic in this art piece. Again, people are still speculating on how complex this Ganondorf might be, between what we have seen thus far. Many note he is not smirking in this art as he usually is, perhaps a hint that his character this time might be different. And we have reached TotK Ganondorf, with the most generic evil villain writing we have seen of him yet. Ganondorf is a big appeal of the LoZ games. He deserves more than just being hot.

Hearing my church-mouthed grandma spitting out classical strings of cuss words when getting up to answer the phone right after sitting down will always be my moment of crowning glory.

Huge fan of when my speech patterns rub off on people enjoy when thay happens

Oh! How happy would Dark be if Blue picked him up and threw him over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes. Blue is trying to assert his strength and dominance by easily lugging Dark around, and Dark is delighted to be held. Blue just "walks back" from the headscape to Links house with Dark over his shoulder.

Lol if only.

Me, after being traumatized by a crazy person sneezing directly in my face when I worked at a cafeteria.

Being tall is not an advantage when the sneeze guard on the counter does not protect you.

I come bearing a solution for Time for avoiding boops. Behold:

Will his pride outweigh his fear? Or will he wear it?

I was sure Time would wear it, protecting his nose from boops is his primary mission right now 😆

And he is a lover of masks so adding one to his collection pleases him

Thanks for your ask! 💖

Back when I lived in The crack town and my mom was the owner of the restaurant least likely to result in food poisoning, we had our regulars. People and groups who would come in frequently enough to recognize. One of them was an ultra religious group of women in their late 50's to early 60's. They fancied themselves elders despite acting with the maturity of their 20's, and were as catty as teenagers.

All of them thought they were hot shit, with their fake snakeskin calvinklein purses, and hospital-giftshop style watercolour and rhinestone shirts. Their sense of moral superiority at being "Good christian women" was pretty fucked up considering they were living in the town where people end up when they have skeletons in their closet and no options in life. Literally a cream of the crap town where the only thing to do as a kid was lose your virginity at 13 or join one of the only two acceptable extracurriculars the town respected.

And these snobby women always tipped with a fake 100$ folded on the table under the coffee cup. One of the waitresses (I didn't like her, she bragged about being a bully in school despite knowing I was being bullied, she was later fired for giving free desserts to her friends) got fed up with the bullshit tips and waited for them to get ready for their quick exit. The bully wanted to catch them publically.

The evangelical cloud sniffers paid, finished their coffee, and got up to leave thinking no one was watching. The waitress closed in on them with a speed only a disrespected service worker can muster, starting to clean the table and ask them how it was, being overly cheerful and kind.

She picked up the still folded tip and started getting emotional, blubbering about how god had heard her prayers and acted through these women, how she could replace her kids stolen sneakers for school. Making a scene thanking them for their generosity.

I only heard about it secondhand, but humiliating snobs is the best goamn response.

You hand these out without including a actual tip you are a terrible person and Jesus is disappointed in you.
