This got me kicking my feet and jumping

Gosh I hate how insanely powerful Ganondorf is in totk. You’re telling me this guy, who we rarely see his actual magical capabilities, is so powerful with a secret stone that 4 people who have used the secret stones for much longer than he and four additional people with the secret stones can’t defeat him??? He’s that strong??? He’s stronger than the master sword that is the most powerful weapon out there??? Just cuz he has the measly little secret stone?? Are you kidding me?

What’s most frustrating about this is that if they JUST added the Triforce it’d fix EVERYTHING. If Ganondorf had the Triforce of power I would TOTALLY believe that he would be THAT powerful because the Triforce is the most powerful thing on that entire planet and it gave previous ganondorfs all their power. And so yeah the secret stone would amplify his power ten-fold and so it makes sense that he’d be nearly unstoppable! But NOOOOO they didn’t add the Triforce and fixed that very fixable plot hole for some reason. Good grief

modern regency romance, enemies to lovers, violet in her mid-twenties running a bar where she services the rich and privileged in her father’s life-long legacy passed down to her. as she tries to make a name for herself, she meets you…a woman of high standard with money and influence nearly bleeding from your fingertips, every man of high society begging for your hand. they all want the fortune, the woman who has yet to be swooned by a single man, the duchess who proclaims she will marry by the end of the season, but vi comes to spoil all your plans. in all of the wrong ways.

It really bugs me that Two-Bit’s last name is spelt Mathews and not Matthews.

Your explanation on the Weasley's being aristocracy makes so much sense and puts into words why I never really related to them as a child. I grew up poor and my parents scraping by as much as we could. And reading the books growing up the Weasley's seemed just much better off then me. I thought though that JKR didn't know how to write a poor family or about children growing up poor, people don't tend to talk about it after all. But the Snape's and even Tom Riddles whole backstory I could relate to at parts. The Weasley's felt like their poverty was performative. And it's entirely because they are aristocracy.

They’re like those typical rich people who think they’re poor just because they can’t fly on a private jet and have to take the subway like everyone else—only to turn around and comfortably make it to the end of the month, with enough leftover to blow their lottery winnings on a vacation. I mean, what family that’s actually struggling financially would use prize money for a trip? A family that’s truly in need would use it to pay off their debts.

Prisoners of War, the Effects of Solitary Confinement, and Sonic the Hedgehog

Remember when Sonic was a prisoner of war? Well turns out, that can damage your brain in some pretty awful ways (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). It’s been revealed in several studies that being a POW can cause schizophrenic disorders, anxiety, debility, etc.

But, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s talk about the torture that happened in those six months. 

Sonic Forces is said by many fans to employ the term “torture” loosely, that simply being confined to an empty room for an extended period of time (six months in this case) is no warrant for the term. While yes, the game certainly does not address the event properly, making it seem as if this circumstance is no big deal, in reality, being confined to an empty room with no human contact is what is defined as “solitary confinement”, a punishment becoming more and more infamous for its adverse effects on those it is inflicted onto.

The various consequences of solitary confinement on a person’s psyche go as follows (Stuart Grassian, Psychiatric Effects of Solitary Confinement):

-Hyperresponsivity to external stimuli, including ordinary things such as the sound of plumbing in another room. 

-Perceptual distortions, illusions, and hallucinations, mostly auditory, but may be visual depending on the individual

-Panic attacks

-Difficulties with thinking, Concentration, and Memory 

-Intrusive thoughts, typically those of violence against captors 

-Paranoia

-Lack of impulse control

-Delirium

Furthermore, the effects and issues with solitary confinement are so severe, that a UN human rights expert stated that solitary confinement for more than 15 days has every right to be labeled as psychological torture (https//www.ohchr.org). 

I’ll drop a bit of the professional tone because, well, this is Tumblr, but on with the hedgehog. 

As shown here, Sonic has cuffs around both his wrists and ankles. In all honesty, this is even worse than being locked up in a small room. All proper movement for him was restricted. There was no proper stimuli around him, he was locked in a metal prison. Once again, this was for six months. Sonic already struggles with staying still, he feels the need to run most constantly. Being restricted for that long could not have been good for him.

The thing is, you don’t even have to stretch to say that Sonic was tortured, because solitary confinement is torture. Perhaps it would explain why he didn’t give Tails a proper hug upon his return. After all those months with no proper contact, it might have been too much for him at the moment.   

“Yawnfest” is nowhere near the proper term to describe these conditions. The proper term is said in the game itself: “torture”. 

Maybe this was why Infinite said Sonic “reeked of fear”. Sure, it could easily be interpreted as infinite stroking his massive fucking ego, but what if Sonic truely was afraid? Not only was he defeated (easily) by him, but also Infinite locked him in solitary confinement (ie: torture) for six months. 

You don’t have to come up with a bunch of stuff not shown on screen to feed your angst needs (I mean, if you want to, all power to you). You’ve got all the ingredients for a delicious angst-pie right here.

Edit: Just realized that solitary confinement and torture were said as two separate thoughts in the original dialogue. Jesus fucking Christ.

You know the end of Titanic where the guy from the Carpathian is rowing out and calling for survivors and everyone is dead?
