So I tried to go out on a walk and I regret it.
Its always nice when i first get out of the house. Even as foggy as I've been the sun still feels nice on my skin. But its late, and I really should have known better then to think it would stay good
Charlotte stopped by on my the foggy walk. i twas nice to be able to talk to her again. i hate how the whole thing makes me feel though
i always feel a little cold when she stops by. it feels like a little piece of me gets leached away when the fog rolls in. its that cold feeling that reminds me just how fucked up ia m as a person. charlotte seems so...peaceful, i guess
why can i be that?
she isnt stressed out or anxious anymore, she just seems peaceful. content.
i wish i could do that, that when the fog rolls back out and she fades away i could do the same and go with her to wherever she goes.
im so tired of feeling like this. of having to wake up every day and hear my brothers talk about the latest problem or think about how my own mother thinks im just as bad as my oldest brother because of all this custody shit
i wish i could make it stop, the feeling of my skin crawling when i go outside by myself too close to dark.
i hate how till she was there i just couldnt be alone without wondering if every shadow was going to grow hands and claws and hurt me agian
i want this to be over, i want to learn to fly and leavce all this behind

*downs coffee like a shot, stares off into the rain, briefly nods to @unexpectedtraveler before staring off into the rain again, downing more coffee* Thinking about parallels between Hylia, The Pale King, The Pure Vessel and the First Link again.
How Hylia and the Pale King are both pale assigned deities (what with Hylia calling herself the white goddess in the manga), and how everything basically stems from them attempting to protect something, Hylia the Triforce and her people and The Pale King his kingdom and people from opposing deities that parallel them, both out of a sense of duty and instinctual design both. How they both doomed their kingdoms by trying to do the right thing with arguably the worst methodology, Hylia with unintentionally spurring on the cycle of reincarnation and The Pale King by having to watch Hallownest fall to the Radiance's Infection.
Thinking about how they both created a plan hinging on sacrificing one to save the many, and how it doomed people they loved or might have come to love had things been different from the very start, because as we all know deities have a different view of reality and thus see things very differently from us and it's difficult to define or even assign morals to it, how both First and The Pure Vessel were deemed perfect for the task even after being 'tainted' by either love, hate, a sense of duty or all of the above (see: First resenting the people of Hylia for being wrongfully imprisoned and not seeing himself as worthy, and the original Crimson Loftwing agreeing until the end stretch, and the Pure Vessel's entire deal of not truly being hollow) and how the two of them were imprisoned in hopes of making that plan succeed for an incredibly long stretch of time, suffering in isolation and being absolutely miserable, but only managed to contain the evil for a time and end up dead (or extremely likely to be dead each time in PV's case) so a sucessor to their position would come and finish the job a long time later, even if it won't save the kingdom. How they both did it in the name of someone they loved, goddess/likely lover and father respectively.
How both Hylia and The Pale King could not have foreseen the outcome of loving/showing affection to their chosen, 'perfect' champion, and thus suffered until the bitter end as well, how they both resided upon spaces far from reality to hide in shame and guilt for their actions and could see into the future (Hylia likely being the Goddess of Time as well as a White Goddess, and the Pale King with his foresight), how they both had someone else carry on their plans and will even from beyond those spaces, vessels namely in Sun/Zelda and The Little Ghost/Knight, but even then that plan didn't fully succeeded and their kingdoms were doomed to suffer, how Hylia created the Sheikah and the Pale King his many Kingsmould, Wingsmould and the Dreamers, how Hornet and Impa both stand in opposition to challenge Sky/Link and The Little Ghost/The Knight as an echo of the pale deities last orders, their words haunting them to the end of the road.
How they both are portrayed as dead, likely from regret after their retreat from the know world.
O' higher beings, what did you see under your pale watch, that would require such sacrifice that would be for naught? What did you witness that would still bring ruin to your descendants and people, no matter your best efforts?
Maybe I'm just overthinking this, but we can likely draw parallels between Sky/Skyward Sword Link and The Knight, or even further down the line between Wild/BOTW Link and either the Pure Vessel or The Knight, in this essay I will-

sorry to get scientific in ur asks but does mark stay out of the rain/snow when it’s cold? cuz if ice forms between the cracks in his skin it will probably expand and shatter it
Yeah, I think he also just stays away from the cold because he just. Doesn’t like it.
Winter is his least favorite season most likely

I'm watching a video talking about how Gossip Girl (2021) was so bland and doomed to fail, and while I agree (I never watched the show, but I've seen clips), I can't help but focus on the cinematography of it. I think that lighting has a lot to do with the tone of a movie/TV show, and just looking at any of the scenes, it just looks empty and has an Instagram-filter vibe. Contrast this with, like, Nora Ephron movies, where the lighting is almost always warm, but not dim-dive-bar warm, it's like watching-childhood-movie-with-family warm.
This may seem small in importance, but it is just a theory as to why the show looks so bland.
I think you might be on to something friend! I've not seen the reboot either, so I guess I can't really comment on the feel of the show or it's visuals, but I think there was something....cynical about the creation of it, if that makes sense. Many of the decisions, story-wise, promotions-wise, inviting-actors-from-the-og-series-wise....all of it gave an impression that they started this project without an actual story to tell. without a point of view to tell it from.
like, the OG pilot for example, the audience was shown (not told) exactly who everyone was and what purpose they served in the narrative, and the main story was about this girl Serena, who made mistakes in her past, but is coming home and trying to make good now. And, of course, the show didn't really follow that throughline (see my #gg meta for more), but there was substance. this reboot...they didn't start with the substance, and they never really got to it either.
And I think when something is made with cynicism and without a point of view and with a...possible disdain for the subject matter & audience....that shows in every aspect of production, including how it's shot and how it's edited.
