Just noticed something about Link’s Island Lobster Shirt accessories in TotK: he’s wearing a bracelet! But not just any bracelet!

It’s a traditional sailors braided bracelet!

It’s said that these bracelets are for good luck, but it’s also a popular fashion choice in the sailing community—especially aboard tall ships.

These bracelets are one continuous knot that is tied directly onto one’s wrist or object of choice (it’s often used on the helm to indicate the top “king spoke” when the rudder is centered, and on railings or other surfaces to help seize in place other decorative nautical “fancywork”).

Aster: I think I ended up hitting her with some dumb joke about her clothes. In that getup, I sincerely thought she might have been a runaway bride or something.

Aster: So, what's your story? What brings somebody all the way out here in a gown like that? *laughs* If I didn't know any better, I'd accuse you of being the ghost that's supposedly been haunting this island for decades.

Daphne: Ah, well I suppose I must look like one. You'd be forgiven for suggesting as much. As for my story... The past is not so important as what has yet to be written. So much has changed. *sharp inhale* I've found myself working towards a new, unclear ending. I had come here to contemplate how I might proceed. Though it seems I have lost track of time.

the way i play with Izzyverse is with every Izzy forming from a branching timeline- that they were all the same at some point, only one thing sent them off on the path to be "someones". some are obvious; Sam, Ed, Jack & Hornigold branch from the mutiny- a split second decision on who to go with, a miss timed hit leaving him in Hornigolds grasp- but the others are less so. how would he become Jackie's, or Ned's, or Anne and Mary's? what happens to make an Izzy Stede's? how do they even meet?

Who knows what Gerudo culture or fashion would have evolved into by 'Rule's time but it's nice to think about him getting to experience a bit more of it in another universe... Before BLYGanon sours it for him... Also been thinking about that Great Fairy of the desert...

outcast: opening thoughts

i think i may have mentioned in tags or briefly in other posts that outcast of redwall is very special to me. i am unceasingly grateful to mister jacques for writing this book, not only because it is a vital fictional case study in family dynamics, child behavior, and the influence of environment on human development, but because of mister jacques’ fundamentally honest approach to narrative.

if there is anything you can be convinced of in regards to all of redwall, it is that you can always trust that mister jacques will never attempt to sell you a “falsehood” in order to bring his story in the direction he intends. what do i mean by “falsehood”? for the sake of avoiding spoilers from a show i in full transparency have actually never seen (game of thrones), i would instead like to use an example from a similar recent adaptation of the works of one of mister jacques’ contemporaries: amazon’s rings of power.

again, to be fully transparent, i abhor rings of power, and not for its misguided multi-ethnic pandering that at times borders on insensitivity. in robust confidence and unfailing ego a pair of men undertook the writing of this show, and the shallowness of the narrative they have birthed betrays their lack of experience and their emotional immaturity. rings of power alone is the biggest reason i am low-key relieved that netflix’s planned redwall movie and tv show have effectively been shelved for the time being. i cannot quantify the amount of grief that would fall over me if we were given a version of mister jacques’ world that had been mindlessly adapted in such a way as to make it a brutal mockery of mossflower. far more eloquent critics and devout middle earth scholars have broken down the aspects of amazon’s rings of power that have fallen far short of tolkien’s vision, and i encourage you to peruse their think pieces, but i will simplify my point by picking out the treatment of the character of galadriel. the narrative rings of power attempts to sell you is based entirely on an interpretation of galadriel that has nothing to do with the infinitely wise, long-suffering figure of galadriel that tolkien wrote. tolkien’s galadriel is soft and powerful, containing the narrative depth of living through thousands upon thousands of years of the cultural height and decline of middle earth, and every word she speaks is laden with conscious discernment and meaning. true, galadriel at the time of rings of power is much younger than the galadriel tolkien presents in the lord of the rings, but it is canon that she had already been married and had had a daughter by the time rings of power is meant to take place. in comparison, the galadriel of rings of power is a petulant, rude, self-serving, overbearing child, carrying none of the life experience of the equivalent canon galadriel of this time. i believe the choice of the show’s writers to remove completely galadriel’s life partner celeborn and her daughter celebrían speaks volumes about their true intentions in regards to galadriel’s character within the narrative of rings of power. 

to fashion their narrative into the shape they desired, the writers of rings of power eschewed canon and distorted the character of galadriel. i am sure you can easily think of other stories where character psychology was sacrificed on the altar of The Ending Or The Twist The Writers Wanted. to the best of your memory, your readings of outcast may have come across in a similar way--mister jacques mangled the characters of bryony, abbess meriam, bella, and even veil to, perhaps, smooth over the bitter sting of the abbeybeasts’ treatment of veil. i will be the first to admit that veil’s foul behavior is exaggerated almost to the point of comedy, as is the nature of stories intended for children, but mister jacques was never in the business of pursuing extremes in order to make a point. adolescent drama is as tumultuous as the myriad changes of puberty, and jacques has gone on the record stating that he writes from what he has observed. the naked fear or disgust brought on by a reading of outcast of redwall is based in the fact the characters are true: true to themselves, true to each other, and true to the beliefs under which they were raised. it is sobering to discover that a children’s book can prompt one to grapple with the reality that cruelty, albeit wholly unintended, can come from goodness.

VIM!! VIMMMMM!!!! *rushes in*

7, 8, 40, and 55 for Tilvie (Tech and Silvie)!!!😁

STIIIIIITCH. THANK YOU FOR DROPPING BY.

(ALSO THE SNORT I SNAT, FOLLOWED BY GIGGLES @ THE SHIP NAME. It’s brilliant and so cute I love it so much 😂💕)

Beware I’m being absolutely feral while answering these questions 😅

7. Who likes forehead kisses? Who likes hand kisses? Who likes neck kisses?

Forehead: Tech would enjoy them, but SILVIE LIVES FOR THEM

Hand: Tech (secretly)

Neck: I feel like both wouldn’t mind them

Okay, so personally, to be honest, I don’t imagine them doing a lot of kisses—maaaybe it occurs during special and intimate situations, but you know what I’m absolutely going feral over? THESE TWO TOUCHING THEIR FOREHEADS TOGETHER AND STARING DEEP INTO THE OTHER’S EYES OMG so much that I made that one artwork.

8. Who is the big spoon? Little spoon?

Logistically, since she’s smaller than Tech, Silvie would easily be the little spoon. She’s the little spoon most of the times, but she wouldn’t be opposed to being the big spoon (read: small jetpack) some times.

40. What is a song that reminds you of the OCs' relationship?

RAAAAGH STITCH I’M GOING FERAL OVER HERE.

Ahem.

After much deliberation, I have chosen one (1) song: Gold by Chet Faker. Especially the part shown below. I think it just fit them. Also bonus point for the inclusion of “gold”, because in one of their (scientifically inclined) philosophical discussions, Silvie compares Tech to gold (noble, inert, highly malleable/adaptable without breaking).

(Tech asks her what element she sees herself as, to which she answers radon (appears stable yet is unstable, aka radioactive, a poison that slowly and quietly kills) 🥹 Tech vehemently disagreed and vowed to find a better fitting element for her, but needed time to think about it. Of course, he settles on silver (because he and Silvie are alike, but not quite the same), but he’s not able to tell her that until several years after this conversation).

55. Who spoils who? Does their S/O tolerate it? Do they secretly enjoy it?

I think it’s easier for Tech to spoil Silvie. She’s quite easy to please (“Is that caf? For me? Really?🥺”). She insists that he doesn’t do it, but the secret spoiled brat that lives deep within her is thriving.

She would make attempts to spoil Tech, but I feel like he’d very easily uno reverse card her (but it’d make her try even harder though 😈).
