im pretty sure i mentioned all these things before but its too late to start drawing anything and each time i see someone talk about totk i just get sad and frustrated again
literally by FAR the biggest problem about totk is that it REFUSES to connect to botw in any way beyond reusing the same map and character models, and even taking the things botw had established and ruin them entirely
ancient hero? BAM weird sonau dog thing that remains completely unexplained and out of nowhere
eight heroine myster- BAM just some guy
long gone sonau peopl- BAM here they are and they have zero connection to the ones of botw
mystical dragons gracing the skies with their presence- BAM probably some dude who ate a magic pebble once
strange mystical nature god you could rarely encounter in one specific spot and the area was made to feel utteraly unsettling but also divine- BAM now hes everywhere and only serves you as a shorthand for man pointing at cave
the strange energy all shiekah tech was powered with with certain locations being ones where alot of it was concentrated including beneath hyrule castle clearly stating that somethings up with that- welp theres evil guy donw there but he has zero connection to all that lol
the whole shiekah tech thing, i just- WHY???? LIKE THAT??? there was so much stuff in botw that seemed deliberately placed that there IS more to it and now it all vanished and nothing of that mattered??? i saw a video of someone comparing certain places directly and on some where towers literally broke away tons of debris where just like .. sanded back down like nothing ever happened???; the fuking mechanism of how the towers and shrines and the pillars around the castle worked AND WHAT THE BOTW BOSS ARENA WAS ACTUALLY FOR?? its all gone and replaced with dirt; tHE ANCIENT FUCKING FURNANCES UTTERLY GONE AND REPLACED WITH ROCKS HUH???? so nothing of all that talk about their mystery and mechanism mattered???? the luminous stoens and its connection to spirits and how concentrated spiritual energy might have been what powered the tech- like you could connect things, and they made SENSE, so much sense that that seemed like it was intentionally setting up- only for it all to be just GONE?? to literally say lol it all vanished and that we shouldnt worry about it- like what the FUCK (and it also AGAIN doesnt make sense in itself bc WE SEE GUARDIAN PARTS in the towers, and some parts of them too are made of clearly shiekah tech stuff so it cant all have vanished- all their mystery doesnt matter bc idk it just works i guess lol and its not even called shiekah tech at any point either its just there and also not lol-)
(and even the smaller things like .. where the fuck does link live if everyone treats him like a goddamn stranger in the town you had to buy a house in botw for it to not be demolished and now that house is there but its not yours and noone knows you??? sth i personalyl found strange too that dumsda, the guy you help build an entire town, taburasa, had a very specific talking quirk i loved, and its all just gone in totk too, he talks like any other person all of the sudden
also at the end of botw finally being reunited with zelda and giving you the taste of being in the game WITH her at the same time in the intro to totk- WOOP away she goes! shes your pretty prize at the end and nothing more, what a way to disrespect her and her character..)
imagine if majoras mask didnt have the opening like it has and it otherwise stayed the same and they tried to tell you that its a direct sequel happening exactly where ocarina of time happened in the same world, zelda who?? ganondorf who??? things seem weird and off? lol dont worry about that :)) that would be weird and not make any sense at all now would it??
... sorry going on another rant again, ill just never be able to accept everything from botw didnt actually matter, and despite what some people might say, its pretty hard to ignore totk bc i LOVE botw, and as much as i hate it, they are connected in canon, even if it makes no sense

dandelion: bisexual roll call, let’s go
dandelion (answering his own prompt, muttering and checking a piece of paper with charcoal): *present and accounted for…*
cahir: you can count me, as well
geralt: what is this
dandelion: i’m taking inventory of how many of us are bisexual
geralt: why
dandelion: just curious
geralt: alright. present.
dandelion: thank youuu. regis?
regis (uncharacteristically grave): i do not define myself by these terms. and, to be honest, it’s really a very interesting and complicated topic requiring discussion—
dandelion: —ohhhkay. milva?
milva: no.
dandelion: uhh… do you mean… no to…?
milva: [gets up and leaves]

hate how im not ugly and can be considered beautiful up until im compared to any other woman. especially those with a thin light frame. and my face looks just almost "classically" beautiful, almost, if you squint and i stand alone. my body too. literally can only compete because im busty which isnt even a plus because what else is there if i wasnt.

next year (when the weather permits it) I'd like to explore "feminine" fashion without shaving my legs. i used to be comfortable with this as a teenager, but since high school i haven't felt confident enough.
i guess i started feeling like i needed to conform more lol... but now there's no need to conform. I'm visibly trans no matter what i do so i may as well lean into gender nonconformity that isn't "pretty" or w/e. also who says hairy legs + a floral midi skirt isn't pretty. sounds pretty awesome to me tbqh,
