I'm not a big fan of TOTK and think its story is outright beyond saving but I do think that people's critiques of it tend to be really nitpicky and more importantly that people really tend to ignore BOTW's flaws while critiquing TOTK. Most of TOTK's flaws, specifically in regards to its story, are flaws BOTW also had. TOTK is simply more aggressive about it.
Zelda being sidelined with a thin narrative excuse? BOTW did that too, TOTK is just more obvious about it. Imperialism? BOTW did that too, TOTK is just more obvious about it. Zelda's arc being unsatisfying? Her arc in BOTW can be summed up as 'Zelda couldn't awaken her powers until she could', it's really not much better. Underdeveloping Rauru and Sonia? The Champions were underdeveloped in BOTW as well. I can keep going for a while.
TOTK's narrative problems are more glaring for a variety of reasons, but most of its problems are ones BOTW shares, and it does bother me when ppl nitpick TOTK to all hell and back while putting BOTW on a pedestal. Like let's be fair here, BOTW's story also sucks.

Yall should get into the lore of valorant like you dont have to play it but just watch stuff about the lore cuz holy shit the new mv shows so much new lore and I’m crying and it’s perfection and it feels like there isn’t any glaring plot holes and it feels clean and I love it so much
I’m rambling
Watch valorant lore recaps or don’t I can’t do anything

i genuinely hope phil (and also dan) are okay health-wise and im glad they've really used their break to recover !! they've been on tours a lot so im sure they know how to properly rest by now, but viruses, esp covid are evil shits and with food poisoning and whatever else they had to suffer through, i hope they dont have to deal with it again.

(idk if anyone wants to keep hearing my opinions on totk book stuff but-)
apparently it says that rauru DID have kids, multiple even, which yeah... is kinda necessary for zelda to even be connected to them so much so that sonia can SENSE a blood connection (which, even with all the excuses with magic, is just a little too far for me to suspend my disbelief bc its over, OVER, ten thousand years worth of generations that seperate her from them that one lil touch of the hand can sense that (feels more like an attempt to make you care about them or .. see them as zeldas "better" parents just bc they exchange a few nice words, i never got the feeling they were 'better' parents and its also kinda disrespectful to her actual parents, like sure rhoam wasnt the best but i wouldnt call rauru better just bc he was polite)- i could see maybe the light power of hylia or sth but since its the coolest dude that ever lived rauru now that had it which still doesnt make sense and makes me unreasonably annoyed and she can sense BOTH of their powers in her? nah) the fact theres NOTHING about them in the game itself is just so ... no way they planned any of this
i dont think theres anything they can do or say that wont make be believe they either
are making it up alla 'fix it in post' mentality trying to hastily explain stuff the game never bothers to do to try and appease fans or let it appear as if they thought about it at all
something went really REALLY wrong during development, which kinda seems likely given how the game turned out (im sorry i cannot let go, its not just the writing, the game design too and how little was changed in the map while being so damn expensive, i dont know how people dont feel scammed q_q)
given that they (allegedly) spent the last entire year of development on polish (where??? where????? huh??? like it would make it more understandable (EXCEPT for the price) if there was alot of trouble, which was also bc it got delayed and ... turned out like this, but they dont want to say it, especially given their reputation, with that quote i have heard way too many times 'a delayed game blah blah') i just??
are they just gonna go and do it like they did with kashiwa (kass)? "they uuuh where flying around the whole time ony cool sonau tech maschines, you just dont see or hear from them ooooorrr they were uuuuh out of the country at the time" (sending invitations to other continents to join their glorious kingdom ;) )
(bet they are also gonna say they did all the stuff like ... moving the shrines around (lol?) and lifting the islands up into the sky- which is still weird bc ... didnt they also say they were living in the sky before coming to the surface?? so where?? did they park all their islands on the surface and the mystery kids had the keys so they had to repark them back into the sky after they returned off camera?? xD also why are the islands so different as an environment if they where from the surface? like even the STONE up there is different- and if they were first in the sky then on the surface and the nback in the sky .. why is there not a single yellow tree or grass in the past- you cant really argue that it changed bc they were up there so long bc .. nothing else changed, the suddendly and totally always there sonau buildings are largely in prime condition, only some slightly moldy, and what we see of the glorious past looks barely any different from the present, aside from like ... some standard trees shuffled, no castle yet and that glowy uwu filter DESPITE that stupidly long time frame between it)
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#ganondoodles rants#idk if others feel like that too but i cant shake the feeling there was something that either went horribly wrong during development-#-or the entire thing was neglected the whole time which is why its so .. i hesitate to even call it bare bones#...which is WILD given that its the supposed sequel to their best seeling zela game#like wtf where you doing#i get that the pressure can be immense but imo it wasnt that hard to make a sequel to thats better than totk#like i think it was harder to make totk like it is NOW bc it scraps and throws away so many things you could have easily used-#-as sequel material#its all so weird to me#my tin foil hat theory is still that they saw the success of the mario movie and immediately shifted everything to make more movies#bc it made so much money#and a movie is easier to make than a good game#so totk or botw2 at the time got the short end of the stick#which is why everything feels like .. so ... bare bones .. untested .. unfinished .. non sensical...#like an alpha build that got enough visual polish to look like a full game when its still an alpha build at its core#some main ideas like the abilities implemented and the basic map layers#mechanics functioning but untested on how it feels to play#like the sage controls and arrow fusing and ... contradictory game mechanics that dont work together#like the bulding WORKS but its clunky and underused- everything can be cheated so easily you dont even feel good cheating-#-bc it feels like the teacher just allowed you to mark your test with a green circle and you still got an A (or however USA grades work)#despite not even reading the questions- why attempt to solve a puzzle if you can just skip it#and how they tell you to be creative with it yet creativity gets punished and only efficiency is rewarded#which completely undermines the entire thing#...theres so much more you know i have ranted about it all before#ALSO rauru and sonia seemed like a rather newly wed couple to me- not one that had multiple kids that never appear-#since it only mentions rauru ..... if its only his then ... that doesnt explain anything bc zelda needs both sonia and rauru dna#................do sonau leave eggs to incubate somewhere heavenly or sth#watch out the springs where built to hatch rauru eggs bc they need the gods holy blessing bc they are oh so holy to hatch

2024 reads / storygraph
Outdrawn
f/f contemporary romance
two cartoonist who’ve been rivals since uni, and now have competing webcomics online, have to work together on the relaunch of a cult classic at the comic press they both work at
they both struggle with art-related physical and mental health issues, and complicated families
#outdrawn#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#sapphic books#I thought this was decent! I liked the concept (even if I got distracted by some art related things…)#and the dynamic between the characters was good. I enjoyed their relationship development broadly speaking#and the emphasis on communication; though it was a quick flip into being together all of a sudden.#The sketchbook doodle flirting was cute. Some interesting exploration of their complicated family situations too.#There’s a lot of exploration of burnout and carpal tunnel and the dangers of artists overworking which I think are important conversations#and are done with some nuance. But it’s pretty much all discussed in the context of the personal pressure they put on themselves#rather than the industry corporate greed and artificial competition created by the comic platform - which are significant in this story!#It felt odd that that connection wasn’t really ever made?#I know that this is a romance and nitpicking the background plot is beside the point and also that I am not a big romance reader#but the premise that the comic hosting site archives everything; wipes the leaderboard; and out of nowhere has a comic competition for#new weekly chapters…I’m sorry but the art world would riot. Even if people enter because they’re desperate for the cash they’d be pissed#People live off the income from their webcomics! if they were erased (temporarily) with no notice…..there would be crimes committed istg#I simply don’t believe that it would be doable to create a new weekly webcomic with no notice while you also have a full-time comic job#(especially as the only stylistic choices mentioned are full-colour) - not to mention what happened to their 8-years-running webcomics#that were archived? they don’t think about them at all after the beginning? surely they’d care about that?#And then with their new comics they make for this competition (after work I guess) we get vague snippets about them but barely anything#- if they’re consuming that much of your time I would expect to feel like they’re thinking about them all the time#rather than the vaguest discussion about genre and cast numbers only.#I guess I just think the whole comic site stunt felt unnecessary for the plot anyway -#it would have worked exactly the same if they were just competing on the normal leaderboard with their normal comics???#anyway - I’m not judging TOO hard about all that because again I know it’s not the point and maybe the industry is like that in some place#Unfortunately it was distracting enough to affect my feelings on the book tho lol.#Lastly: the audiobook………oof. The narrators talk at different speeds; for one.#And Sage’s VA does this deeply weird raspy-anime-teen-boy voice for Noah which is such an odd choice#and doesn’t match her character at all.#unforch my library only had the audiobook (what I usually prefer) so I just had to sort of….translate the narration into a normal voice lol#anyway the romance is good tho

Exploring more highschool/college era charmacden. This became so long I'm thinking about making it my first ao3 post 👀 many possible fic ideas here tbh.
Mac mustve had a transformation around senior year of high school. He was the rat, then the weed dealer, then his dad went to jail when he was 17. I think it's after Luther is sent away does Mac become so devout.
At that time Dennis and Charlie drift a bit away from him, more Dennis than Charlie. Charlie knows his own hardships and he wants to be there for Mac, but it's hard to connect when Mac keeps deflecting vulnerability with "righteousness". Dennis rolls his eyes and acts like he has better people to be around (he doesn't. His other friends tolerate him but they don't like him like Charlie and Mac do). It's this time period where Dennis is getting ready for College and Mac is on a religious journey that Charlie and Dennis really begin to connect.
Suddenly Mac is busy every Sunday (and some Wednesdays) so Charlie starts going over to the Reynolds' house. Though Dennis desperately tries to keep Dee locked in her room when his friends come over, Charlie peeks through her door to see her writing in her diary. He sits down and talks to her and makes her laugh.
Mac is unimaginably hurt that Charlie and Dennis and Luther are all leaving his life at the same time, too self-absorbed to see he's pushed his friends away. This makes him pray even harder, more frequently. God will never abandon him like everyone else. So close to the end of high school and not a lick of emotional maturity between any of them means Dennis and Dee go to college with a lot of unresolved tension in the gang. Mac is angry at the world and tries to fill the hole in his heart by sleeping with women.
During a winter break Dennis goes over to Charlie's house to catch up when he sees mac for the first time since high school, and it's clear he's changed. Mac's hair is longer, his jaw set in a scowl, what used to be a faint shitty mustache is now a shitty goatee. He has tattoos on his biceps and Dennis is trying not to stare indignantly at the shamrock on his thigh (I mean really, a shamrock? How lame. gaudy.) Things are weird between Mac and Dennis so Charlie has to hang out with them separately. 
Dennis returns to Penn and is still thinking about Mac. Goes to a house party to clear his mind. Drinks way too much. Blows his first guy. Maybe he does it a few more times "just to be sure" he isn't gay. Gets caught with the wrong guy and is mercilessly bullied. I chug dick Dennis Reynolds. He drops out and doesn't tell a soul why, just says he didn't feel it was the right path for him. Reconnects with Mac and Charlie and keeps up the playboy persona. Feels trapped in his own webbing of lies. Buys the bar with Mac and Charlie and says it'll be a great way to talk to girls. Paddy's first big success is as a gay bar.
Dennis Reynolds your closet is full of skeletons and if you don't come out you will become one of them.

Also one of links sisters has a crush on basil right?
Spill the tea im a sucker for romance
Yep, that’s Poppy, she thinks he’s 💕dreamy💕 And he has no idea she exists lol.
...and then Poppy thinks he’s a lot less dreamy when she hears he was in cahoots with the lady who kidnapped her and her sisters. How could he?? His crush status has been RESCINDED 😤
She coldly informs him of this and he’s like “oh. uh. okay.” He still only sorta knows who she is.

Onyx Storm Chapter 50 MAJOR SPOILERS
����🚨🚨
This entire book I’ve been trying to figure out Violet’s second signet (I was leaning towards thinking it was fire; and the “first flame” Andarna had was actually connected to Violet’s powers; and stemmed from when she had none to protect her or Violet protect her with in threshing, and was the explanation of the spicy scene smoke (just mistaken for lightning) though it wouldn’t be a huge difference in the two… or some sort of intinnsic because we don’t fully get the Xaden & double-dragon bond) but the dreams and “dream-walkers” being a thing just totally blew my mind!!! So, I’m gonna go scream in dragon fangirl now… man these are gonna be fun to re-read!

paraphernalia who??
Tumblr media
I
I uh
I’m so normal
this was practicing how to drawjekyll and Rachel and I’ll make some actuall bits for it later down the line soo
credits to sage Cotugno for Jekyll and rachel’s designs from paraphernalia (short film) and to bbc for Doctor who 💪💪 the idea will make sense after I make contextual doodles not just practice scribbles Not my idea originally, it was from jbc but because I’m so normal about these two fixations, I was absolutely not thinking about it all day (I was)

Atla live action 😐
#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid#like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat#or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already#good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive#to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil#i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better#but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because#it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak#and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but#come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and#makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality#i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was#IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall#AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think#plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS#a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason#im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your#audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small#thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small#its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers#i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang#anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and#rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz#netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub#no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same#ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me#i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing#yapping
