genuinely not kidding when I say that Tears of the Kingdom is not only a bad Zelda game, it's just a bad game in general. it's inaccessible to casual gamers who previously could play Zelda games because of their structure. there is virtually no plot, & what little plot there is sucks ass, is predictable in a bad way, & doesn't make any fucking sense, with the absolute lack of emotional reactions from the characters making it all the worse. the references are only there to distract from the absolute nothingness, despite a main timeline Zelda title being the perfect game to have them as a type of storytelling (what happened to Skyloft??). the sky islands are just rocks with nothing on them except fruit, or maybe a chest if you're lucky. the underground is a walking in the dark simulator. the overworld is the exact same shit as in Breath of the Wild & I already explored that twice so why do it again. the caves are pointless. they didn't add much to the game besides that (the shrines & towers are just reskinned, do not fool yourself) & what they did add is just more sidequests to fill the gaps between the bits of non-existent plot. the dungeons suck. the boss battles are okay which is just sad for a Zelda game. it's just a $90 DLC & if that doesn't explain why I'm so mad about this idk what the fuck will. maybe the fact that this "new formula" is a severe step down from the old one, where you had an actual full fucking puzzle game to play with an actual fucking characters & a story that wasn't just more MCU "cameo! reference!!" bullshit

Hello ! I just listened to The Bright Sessions and I loved it ! It was my first podcast ever and I want to thank you for creating this world and thoses characters (although I do NOT thank you for the angst). I'm currently reading "The Infinite Noise" and I was wondering would you ever consider writing a book on Owen and Joan past ? He is my favorite character and I need more of him ! (and them !) And I think that you kind of owe it to us after what you did in The AM Archives (as compensation for the emotional damage ). Thank you again for one of my new favorite things !

hello!!!! oh my gosh, I'm so glad you found TBS (and that it was your first podcast!) and that you're reading TIN!!!

so, yes, I HAVE considered this actually! several times - the original concept for writing TBS books was writing a joan prequel but then I wanted to write a lurrrvvvv story (with a happy ending). and you're right, I do owe you for what I did in TAMA - owen is one of my fave characters too tbh.

that said, I don't think this book will ever come to be. part of why I abandoned it in favor of TIN is that....I don't know how to explain it, the story didn't really work that well as a book! that's not to say I'll never write it or I'll never tell the joan/owen story in some other medium but....for now, I'm finished with the TBS universe and don't see myself returning to it in the near future. I've told the stories there I feel really strongly about telling. but I highly encourage folks to write fic about it, and there is probably some joan/owen stuff on ao3 already!

October this year has felt kind of vague and adrift for me, no real festive spirit to speak of--or at least nowhere near how last year felt, when it was Year of the Vampire and all.

BUT I am remedying that now with a combined pincer attack of 1) relistening to Night Vale from the beginning on my commute to work and 2) rereading Warm Bodies on my breaks/in my spare time. Things are getting increasingly spooky up in here

[child-of-hurin]

do you like.....idk, obscenely vain, self-loving, egotistical, greedy characters AND does your interest vary a lot based on gender? i've noticed that for all of tumblr's avowed support for characters being Hubristic and Rebellious, they basically only bear this out if like.....there's a secret sad backstory of fundamental insecurity or self-loathing? (and that only if they're male. if they're female they don't actually get to be liked for hubristic traits at all)

My interest in any type of character seems to vary based on gender, yes! If you follow me you might have noticed I tend to be more interested in female characters than male -- although I' don't think I'm not sure it varies by a LOT, I still am interested in a lot of male characters too...

Other people have proposed that maybe the fixation with the Tragic Backstory can be a way to alleviate the current need to moralize your fandom/fictional tastes, and it rings plausible to me! Although in all fairness, sometimes it is super compelling. When you started describing the type of character you're talking about, I immediately thought of Cersei, who's a top fave of mine, who's villain (if not an antagonist), and who both has a sad story (rampant, virulent misogyny) and doesn't (she killed her best friend when she was what, 12?? and out of jealousy?? icon)

Being very honest with u, I have a lot of trouble pinpointing what tropes, types and archetypes appeal to me in a general way, because I often find out it varies wildly by context. Like, when I think I have reached the conclusion that I like characters who X, I immediately think of so many exceptions it makes the rule useless; same thing for when I think I don't like characters who Y 😝 it really depends on the execution and the context I think. That said, I definitely like a bunch of characters who fit those descriptions, and for self-loving vain egotistical and greedy I think most of them are women! On the hubristic side I can only think of one woman tbh, but I also think I might be using a different sense of Hubris than the one you mean? I'm thinking of the godly element of Hubris, like, thinking you can challenge/defy the gods; my top fave Túrin fits like a glove, but the only woman I can think of for that is Dante, from FMA 03, whom I love dearly <3

[solradguy]

I came to terms with the Sol kinnie thing months ago now because honestly who gives a shit, but every now and then I'll find myself in a situation where I wonder if whatever it was I was about to do was/is a pre- or post-Guilty Gear interest lol

I am so desperately trying to sleep but I can't stop giggling. Why am I always like this with my blorbos. At least if it were a crush or hell, a squish, it'd make sense. But no. I am just. I just go very giggly and kick-feet and hehehehe.
