“Cot-Ridden Veteran Gets His Christmas Box,” Toronto Star. December 23, 1932. Page 2.
-----
Many of the 350 war veterans feasted last night at Christie St. hospital by the Canadian Red Cross were unable to leave their cots to sit at the festive board. The picture shows one bed-fast warrior receiving his Christmas box at the hands of two of the nurse helpers.

Maybe they’re here somewhere, lost
in these crowds of students, informal
in their tweeds, plus fours –
Sassoon, the elder, Sunday golfer;
Owen, bookish, gangly, pale – mingling
with the queue for the refectory,
snatching nervously at fags, ignoring
notices forbidding all those here
to smoke. You catch a glimpse
you think, later, in the distance
– backs straight, military haircuts –
turning down a corridor you glance along
but they’re not there. No, no-one is, though
low light slants through window frames,
plants these crosses on the wall.

so with echoes of wisdom .. i havent watched any of the trailers beyond the very first one and the thumbnails/screenshots and what others have said about it-
but with the world inside the rift being called "Welt des Nichts" aka "world of nothing/void" in german ('still' in english, for some reason) and demises title in french being "avatar of nothing" ... yeah my anxiety is shooting through the roof again
(hopefully you can be a little more forgiving for me being anxious/weird about it bc demise is my blorbo)
i had similar worries with totk, that werent proven true thankfully, but the darn book is making it all worse again with all those weird lore things the game doesnt even so much as hint at AND potential retcons- im in for a really rough time huh, not just stress in real life (more in tags.. its alot) but now about my specific hyperfixation from two things even (AND artblock still..)
weird as it may sound, i dont want demise to get more lore, partly bc i dont believe theyd do anything with him that i would like (given their track record) but much more importantly- the fact that he has this little lore about him is precisely one of the reasons why i fell in love with him, i tend to like characters that are neglected by the narrative, and his story being both so flat and already done meant i can be very creative with what i come up with for him without necessarily contradicting anything in canon
(which is ... or was a big point of how i wrote destiny's story and lore, working with canon in a way that reframes it all without straight up ignoring it ... but i suppose i urgently need to let go of that and accept i spend alot of time working things that will go to waste :( )
AND not having to worry that there will be more stuff with him that would massively change not only what im writing but also potentially how i feel about him since the game he was briefly in was the oldest chronologically and ended with his death- i didnt expect them to mess with anything that far back and thought theyd just go forward and leave the timeline behind and wouldnt mess with it again, given how botw seemed to be a sort of 'fresh start' that seemingly regarded the past as the past that needs to rest and that the timeline was finally no longer a discussion if everythings unified through botw and one thing going forward
but i suppose i was very wrong with that .__.
right now the only thing that motivates me still is the left over determination and spite to work on my zelda comic, since i have never gotten this far and really want to get something done for once, but i cant lie that im feeling like i should pause all work on it too to wait and see waht the book and the new game will do .. either to determine if i still have the will to keep working on it after those things are out (my love for tloz has been taking alot of hits lately ..) or if i have to change stuff (mostly bc of my lore problem trying to not ignore it ..)

"DRIED BLOOD SAVES LIVES: Major C. K. Bleeks, of Winnipeg, is shown at a Canadian general hospital in Sicily, applying a plaster cast to the leg of a Canadian soldier wounded in Italy. At the same time the soldier is receiving a transfusion of reconstituted dried blood. The dried blood is used extensively by Canadians in the immediate saving of life. It is reconstituted simply by the addition of distilled water and air. At right is shown a "giving set" and a bottle of prepared plasma which is being made ready for use by Nursing Sister Lieut. Connie Clark, of Winnipeg, who is stationed at the same hospital as Major Bleeks."
- from the Winnipeg Tribune. October 30, 1943. Page 17.
