*sigh* thoughts on Nintendo's botw/totk timeline shenanigans and tomfoolery?

tbh. my maybe-unpopular opinion is that the timeline is only important when a game's place on the timeline seriously informs the way their narrative progresses. the problem is that before botw we almost NEVER got games where it didn't matter. it matters for skyward sword because it's the beginning, and it matters for tp/ww/alttp (and their respective sequels) because the choices the hero of time makes explicitly inform the narrative of those games in one way or another. it matters which timeline we're in for those games because these cycles we're seeing are close enough to oot's cycle that they're still feeling the effects of his choices. botw, however, takes place at minimum 10 thousand years after oot, so its place on the timeline actually functionally means nothing. botw is completely divorced from the hero of time & his story, so what he does is a nonissue in the context of botw link and zelda's story. thus, which timeline botw happens in is a nonissue. honestly I kind of liked the idea that it happened in all of them. i think there's a cool idea of inevitability that can be played with there. but the point is that the timeline exists to enhance and fill in the lore of games that need it, and botw/totk don't really need it because the devs finally realized they could make a game without the hero of time in it.

I wish I could kill people who were boring or slightly irritating to me

It feels like getting pulled underwater—the sharp sideways tug, the slight drag of resistance, then falling, falling, till the waves close over his head. But Logan can breathe when he rights himself again, even if the light has a watery filter to it and the voices have a distant echo. // Sometimes Logan gets a glimpse of guys who've been long gone from the teal, clustered at the far end of the bench or sitting in the box across the ice. He heard Jason's voice in the hallway loud and clear, that infectious laugh. And he could have sworn he saw Raffi fucking Torres getting out of a car in the players' lot. Something tells him not to look up the rosters.

Commissioned @impmakesart to make a painting based on the Sharks' Cali Fin hype reel + the flip side by frausorge. Imp was amazing to work with and I could not be more emotional about this piece and so, so pleased with how it turned out!! 🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️ Commission him here. Thank you Imp!

seeing 'dead dove & proship dni' on a blog is a first for me. like. i've seen 'proship dni' - and even if I think it's stupid, because you're basically saying 'I believe it's okay to harass people who create fictional situations I disapprove of', it doesn't surprise me anymore. But 'dni dead dove'??? you hate properly tagged fics and want that nasty stuff just floating around in the ecosystem where anyone can accidentally stumble across it? Like turds in a river?? okayyyyyy

I know, I know, they think fiction = reality. They want to eradicate any and all darkfic altogether, regardless of if you're a survivor exploring your feelings/trying to understand your abuser's pov, or digging into the nitty gritty awfulness of trauma recovery, or just putting fictional characters in a horrific situation to see what they do, like a fictional saw trap that is hurting literally no one. Y'know, like TV writers do all the time. I know they buy into the idea that video games cause violence. But like. ???

final secret life thoughts for tonight, but, I’m going to keep my eyes on the evo guys. See bigb already got a weird task from the watcher looking statue, so my guess is that it’s only a matter of time until the same happens to Jimmy, Martyn, Pearl and grian.

so…somehow topaz is not only managing to embody “rampant capitalist” but also “insidious colonizer”???

like babe maybe try not launching an armed alien invasion of their home threatening to extract every single resource of potential value. or like. dumping a 700yr old debt on a planet that has been entirely isolated for most of that.

hey speaking of how it’s been 700 years since this supposed loan was made—why are you sweeping in to demand hundreds of years of interest on a loan you didn’t care enough to collect more than 400 years ago…conveniently AFTER you decided that maybe there was something to exploit here after all?

like goddamn when they announced “topaz and numby” i thought the pig was supposed to be NUMBY and yet Here We Are

Oh, and I know I can tell I'm falling further again But I won't turn away It's far too late for me

(It's too late for me / It's too late)

I can't really put into words how much of an iron grip this song has on me. Especially that last part, where he repeats "It's too late for me" - I can't listen to it without tearing up and waiting to sing along from the top of of my lungs. It's one of those where I desperately wish I didn't relate to it, but in a weird, sick way, I'm glad I do.

It's SUCH a cathartic feeling to just put in on full volume and sing along. I just know Vessel must've had such a visceral moment recording this (all of their songs really, but yeah).

making a new post for this bc it felt a bit tmi to add to the tags of the last one lmao, but back when I used to shave my armpits they would constantly be irritated and itchy and far more sweaty (like I'd have visible pit stains every day on top of just always feeling damp and gross under my arms) and deodorant would fade much faster bc it would literally just slide off?? but when I stopped doing that, which was like 10 years ago now or more, ALL of those problems just completely went away. they never itch or get rashes or anything ever since, and deodorant started lasting all day easily. so I know first hand that its complete bs whenever people try to say shaving is necessary for hygeine or skincare or to reduce sweat or smell. like if it wasn't already clear from the fact that men aren't pressured to do the same (when they tend to sweat more overall as well?)

High as fuck with no inhibitions makes me realize that at my core, I'm still all the traits that were deemed "annoying" (usually by me but occasionally by family) and that for like ALL of my late teen to adult life I've been scared to be seen as annoying/cringe

But my persona is crafted around very purposely avoiding saying or doing the first thing that comes to mind, which may be part of why there's that autism burnout happening. I don't let my autistic/adhd impulses blurt out cause I put on my mask and go "no, that's weird, normal people don't say that."

So now I'm kind of afraid to rediscover who I am without masking like Out Loud cause I'll feel judged. Mostly by Nina I guess cause she's known me as This for our whole lives. I let an impulse escape today while in the car with Nina and felt I had to immediately apologize. I don't realize I'm always holding back so much, and in part why I'm always so tired.

Feeling like I can't just let go and unmask 100% is so weird tho cause like? Nina wouldn't care? Kanon doesn't care? I won't be relentlessly made fun of for having autistic tics and adhd everything. It might be a BIT annoying but the worst anyone would do if I annoy them is maybe sigh loudly or laugh a little awkward. That's nothing.

When I can just let my brain go to goop, I'm just like that. When I'm sober I catch every line before it goes out in rapid succession before getting to the version that's socially appropriate one to say. That costs energy and mental stamina to always be making. Oof.

I should just allow myself to be weird. I might come off as really immature, but it would be freeing.

contrary to the impression any conversation with me will give, i do Not Like being angry but boy howdy! number one way to get me there is by playing dumb! when I ask how plants get their energy--well after we've covered photosynthesis--i should not feel like im talking to a bunch of dead fish!

shout-out though to the kid who, when a classmate asked me a Very Stupid Question, deadpan asked "did u read the directions?" and classmate went "no" and kiddo just rolled their eyes at me. I feel u bruh. u got me.
