The first time Aurora held Mountain's hand during final bows, she looked up and gawked at the comparison. Her hands looked dainty compared to his, and he could've made it disappear in his closed fist if he wanted.
And backstage, she asks to see his hand again. Shyly, softly, in a way that makes Mountain's throat go dry.
Aurora lays her hand in his and stares at it for a few silent minutes, before shifting her focus to the rough parts of his palms, the little scars on his fingers from years spent gloveless in the greenhouse, the way his veins shifted under his skin when she turned them over.
He asks what she's doing, what's caught her interest as she ghosts a perfectly manicured nail along the soft lines in his palm.
And she shrugs.
"I just think you've got pretty hands."
Mountain can't help how rosey his cheeks go.
Pretty.
Nobody’s ever described him as pretty.
Even after she kisses his knuckles and hurries off to answer Phantom's calls, he sits there fixated on the places she'd touched. Trying to follow the path she'd traced along his skin. He also can't help the little grin that creeps onto his face.
i presented on this panel a hot minute ago about like being trans in the workplace basically and it’s really so encouraging to be able to speak out to a range of ppl but especially to the older trades union guys who like, kinda have no idea about anything, but are actually super eager to learn and support this new face of labor organizing as their comrades all the same.
there was a question from a guy about like the use of queer nowadays tho, since i introduced myself as a genderqueer transsexual, and because when he grew up like that was so full of hate. and i answered like yknow, i wouldn’t broadly apply it still because it is full of pain for so many people, but as with AIDs activists in the 80s and 90s like, it’s reclaimatory, it’s meant to be punchy, it’s meant to make you uncomfortable.
but i keep thinkin n i’ve landed on a more solid answer for myself which is like. i’ve Really struggled with the word queer bc i grew up in a small rural conservative area where that was not said with love, where kids on rooftops threw rocks and called me a faggot when i walked by, where i couldn’t even go through a taco bell drive thru without being called a dyke. and the thing is now as times get a lil more socially conscious, as i live in a city with more liberal values, as i am in a workplace that at least claims itself to be LGBT friendly, i’ve realized that just because they stopped calling me a queer doesn’t mean they stopped treating me like one. so i think that’s why i’ve been able to take on words like dyke and fag and queer, out of pride And out of pure spite.
Can you imagine if Skyward Sword had an actual Day/Night cycle?
It's the only 3D Zelda without one. Which makes sense, considering you can't ride loftwings at night. But imagine how interesting it would make it to have to strategize around that!
The game would obviously need some sort of mechanic like making a campfire in BOTW or the song of the sun like OOT. But then again, TP just makes you rawdog the cycle so theres no reason that's not an option either.
This would be annoying for the most part on the sky islands. But on the surface? Oh boy.
Imagine you spend a little too long on the surface. Something howls in the distance. The dark sets in. And you're stuck there til morning.
There are stalmasters in this game. Stalfos spawning in the dark of the night isnt much of a stretch. Perhaps an increase in bokoblins in the area too? Perhaps, randomly, monsters can spawn around you in a shower of diamonds. Something to make the surface palpably more dangerous.
But also: material spawns are more common at night. Perhaps some could even be exclusive to nighttime? Some puzzles requiring you to wait til night falls to solve them. The silent realms only being accessible at night. And the part of the game where you're standed in Eldin without your weapons could take place exclusively at night.
There are few safe places- the dragon lairs, the temple by the sealed grounds- any area thats not in the open where an NPC is.
torn between telling the truth and asking to push tomorrow's date to sunday and risking him being grossed out, or soldiering through tomorrow and forcing myself to attend and risk having the worst date ever from all the pain.
My biggest flex: you were my fave mystic messenger/enstars artist before u were my fave twst/genshin artist; I used to LIVE for ur Anzu x enstars boy art, I think u did a Madara x Anzu au where he’s a famous race car driver and she’s the mechanic he has a little crush on or something along that lines of that.
