#and i didnt see lots of people agreeing

Still thinking about larys helping aegon off the floor, a display of physical strength which he would normally keep hidden, a brief slip of his mask of helplessness he told aegon about last episode. He disarms himself in a way, by showing the strength most assume he doesn't have

ive been unhealthily fixated on kubosai for the past few weeks, i just have no idea how to put it into words. kuboyasu aren and saiki kusuo are in love btw

[antennatoheaven]

not sorry. i extend very little sympathy and patience towards tras who are underage, and the only ones who do get said sympathy are TIFs. but again. it's MICROSCOPIC levels of sympathy.

just found out the lead singer of taiwans biggest death metal band is also an active parliament member since like 2015.... and is still active as a death metal singer. he's a pretty standard taiwanese center left anti communist from what i could gather. which like as a leftist i dont really agree with but i also dont know enough abt taiwanese politics to like make a full judgement. though he seems to be a standard liberal nothing remarkable, radical, or new, not overtly horrible but just bland. but that was something i definitely did Not expect. apparently he's very pro indigenous rights and self determination for indigenous people but being in a centre left mega party like the DPP does not seem like the best way to achieve that. But yea, just thought I'd share

List of why TotK is bad except it gets progressively more desperate and annoyed at what could have been (not that you can't enjoy it at times, we do too, but just some things that are subjectively bad):

(back)story basically rips from OoT

"secret" stones???

The Depths are empty (which, adding on, The Sky in SkSw made sense because it's literally the sky—which last I checked, isn't supposed to have much land—but it makes no sense for the depths. It has creatures (the frog things). There are depths exclusive organisms! I don't see why they couldn't pack it with alien like things, similar to the depths of an ocean where weird ass fish are)

Shrine copy paste

The dungeons, while visibly varied, still use the same "go find X terminals to activate a main thing" template

The overworld is too big to make fulfilling sidequests* (MM especially, but also TP and WW come to mind for good sidequests)

Zelda is not designed to fit nicely into an open sandbox style game**

Draconification is so fucking stupid (!!highly subjective!!)

"Idiot plot" syndrome. Yunobo was the only somewhat smart one there to really question if it was Zelda (afair, there could have been others but it was so "open ended" up until the phantom Ganon fight where they "reveal" it that it doesn't really matter). She was so out of character. How in a world that is largely lead by scientists do people not figure out that it's not Zelda. How did the great fairies not figure out that it was not Zelda. They are literally magic goodness beings and that Zelda was made of "gloom" from Ganondorf. Did the "gloom" kill everyone's braincells too??

Gloom. I guess with a stretch I see why they call it that but it's a "if it looks like a horse and it sounds like a horse it's a horse" situation. Just call it malice! You already had a name for it, Nintendo! Malice!!

"secret" stone sage guys play basically no role in the plot. Aren't you guys supposed to. I don't know. Help seal Ganon? Considering how much of your backstory is ripped from OoT, I'd assume so!

Subject to more additions

*In smaller areas, like the whole Hateno election thing, sidequests are marginally better, but once you spread further out (eg the quest to get the froggy armor) the impact is weaker and it starts to feel more like a chore than something impactful to the game

**while Zelda I & II were more of that open sandbox vibe, they had barely any plot, since it was so early into the franchise. If we have to wait 6 years for a Zelda game made by a large company like Nintendo, I'd expect it to at least fall in line with the more intricately made stories of TP, WW, or even the lesser played (but still good!) games like ALBW or PH. Instead, most of our story was given through memories (like in BotW, arguably the weakest story driven plot next to the original two), and the plot that Link actually experiences is weak in order to comply with the new mindset that Zelda should be an "open air" sandbox

came to the startling realization just now that there are people who actually think light was totally fine and all his evilness came from the death note. ermmm. loud incorrect buzzer

I'll make the post then it's literally fine to disagree with people you respect and/or your friends. It's very normal to not agree with everyone on everything.

a weird little thing abt me is i will definitely mock shitty ai art but it never feels right doing it about the hands simply by virtue of the fact that a lot of them look indistinguishable from the hands i was doing years ago when i first got a drawing tablet

[dittolicous]

Girl you liked their post about it! asdfghjkl I don't know if blocking keeps people from showing up on the 'for you' thing but it's worth a shot, you nearly gave me a heart attack 😱😮‍💨

my brain is not a trustworthy source, especially after work! im really bad about connecting usernames to art styles, i hardly ever pay attention to names, just going 'oh its [insert art style] person!' like i still think of them as the mha artist cuz thats where i saw their art first

idk how 'for you' works though, cuz it can show bangers but then sometimes... you get some very not bangers

what exactly is the problem if you’re reading a fanfic and realize the title comes from a taylor swift song why would that possibly bother you she has no bearing on the actual fanfic whatsoever. why do you hate her so much that an irrelevant mention in passing fills you with that much rage? genuine question because I’m confused here

ok im feeling exasperated here so bear with me. but what is so difficult to understand about the concept of not liking a thing and then having to see that thing everywhere and then feeling annoyed about it

[narwhalandchill]

ANYWAY now that ive gotten my firefly rant off my chest and on a more positive note about the story overall; i Really liked it!!!! and character-wise specifically the biggest surprise for me in a huge W way was actually acheron??

& given i was actually somewhat committed to pulling her anyway (well. initially as kafka replacement to pull my first lightning carry after losing 50-50 but. Well. she had mercy on me at the v last moment thank goodness 😭😭) so actually ending up liking her character this much just cemented that resolve for good too. cant wait for her!!! like i am still meh on her base design not bc its that bad by itself but simply bc seeles existence just cheapens it so much like. Why are they so similar. but its not bad lmao

anyway to her actual characterization. first of all. the VAs delivery omg yall beidous english voice is already one of my all time favorites in genshin and shes doing an amazing job as acheron like. she started talking and im just INSTANTLY warmed up to her just from that KDJSKDKJK i love love love her attitude and energy!!!!!

n personality wise too??? like ive seen others mention a similar sentiment but its just the way how. even after getting the warnings from now Two separate characters that shes up to no good. im just like. "nah id win" abt it SHSKDKSI like throughout the story she comes off as so damn likeable and grounded and realistically friendly (as in not like. too open n aligned w the player from the get-go to feel believable for the character as opposed to a plot contrivance) that i just. even if shes bad news im team acheron truly.

she has genuinely funny one liners too ??? like not necessarily jokes outright but the kinda comments she says are just . very realistic in that dry witty way that comes off as natural and entertaining shes so charming!!! i love her. the more contemplative stuff she says too

but also like. girl whats up w the ominous red text ily but are we cool 😭😭 and the whole shredding us into thin slices on first encounter in the dreamscape like. Ok uhhhhhhhh ik i said nah id win and team acheron forever but this is kinda. worrisome

BUT that just means im so fucking excited to see her go apeshit too lmao like. oh shes an emanator here to do murder and spread death? COOL i hope she has fun!!

(and ik i said firefly rant over but. what the actual hell is that post firefly merk dialogue option where the games like very heavy handedly implying ur supposed to be blaming ACHERON for "letting it happen" in some emotional frenzy???? bro what 💀💀 0/5 moment i would never. n even if she plausibly did im just. dude her being cold towards firefly is just a plus for me when the narrative has just railroaded the TB into being sooo charmed by her magical presence lmao i Liked that acheron was suspicious n cold)

overall Definitely wasnt expecting acheron to establish herself as such an instant favorite for sure but. shes here now and im v happy abt it im super looking forward to seeing those more dubious goals of her come to the forefront in the future like. im so curious about whats up w her and her memory and that red text and everything

people really need to watch movies outside of hollywood. not every movie needs to have a big satisfying ending where everything is answered and you have no questions. sometimes a movie is more about what happens instead of the end
