#she'd made up her mind

[pratchettquotes]

A thought in her head said No. It was overruled. She'd made up her mind.

ohhhhh wait before I start answering those shippy asks I have. ship name ideas..... might add to this when I get more ideas... but also feel free to send any thoughts and such :3c

Solaris/Fabricator/Prism - Triple Threat Self explanatory...Each of them became an antagonist at least once, and I like the alliteration too! Science Gals/Science Wives is nice but I feel bad since. technically there's another science gal in this game and she's not invited :( sorry ashley lincoln </3

Fabricator/Prism - Antidote Chaser Beverage Motif, Fabby's into poison and wine (poisoned wine?) and Prism has a recipe for a universal antidote cocktail in her puter... is this yuri? science says yes. something something finding someone as a cure to drown out all the bad stuff. I'm aware it's a bit one-sided which is, for me, the point since that's how I'd think their relationship would start out

Solaris/Prism - Solar Flare / Sunkissed Robots / Radiant Machinery These are a bit on the spot, but there's Something with the both of them having heat as a core part of them/their creations... I thought of having something to do with explosions but that feels a little mean LMAO. also radiant like the sun, or radiant like. radioactive. there's a lot of mental gymnastics happening sorry /lh

Prism/Phoenix - Bluebird / Kinetic Mocktail Credit to tumblr user solobodor for Bluebird since she used this as her roxanix art trade's filename and I Really like it.............it's simple and cutes! Blue for Prism and Birdie for Phoenix. But I also wanted to think of something with the drinks again since they've got that in common. I chose mocktail specifically since the fruit mocktail recipe card says it's 'meaningless without kinesium', and Phoenix has kinesium.. etc etc

Every time I go to hyrule castle I remember that video about the royal guard weapons and how they were shiekah tech created to mimic the master sword (and failed - they're powerful but brittle and no more effective against the calamity than anything else). And I just remember the little detail of the wings on the hilt. On the master sword, they face up when the blade points down. On the royal guard weapons, they face up when the blade points up.

And to me, that little detail is very indicative of what they thought about the hero and the cycle.

The wings face up when fi is at rest. Waiting. Sealing. Not lifted.

For them, their swords face up when they brandish them, when they raise them against their enemies, when they wave them around and cheer.

That's what they think the hero does. That's what they think they can replicate and take for themselves.

That's not what a hero does at all.

Sure, he spends a lot of time doing that, but it's a fraction of the whole. The hero does not do it for glory or pay or fame. He is kind. He helps everyone who asks. He gets things for little kids and listens to their stories and helps people find their pets and goes out of his way to leave the stranger a little happier them when they met. He spends hours crawling through mazes and enemies to find something he can use later.

He does not raise his sword in anger. The job is not done once the villain of the day is skewered on his sword. It needs to be sealed, the darkness pushed back until the next generations can take up the call. It's passing on the torch to yourself. The master sword must seal evil during those intervening centuries.

The heroes soul is one, by breath of the wild, long forged in faith and love and determination and the flames of war and loss. The curse of demise makes it so that only one strong enough to stand against it can push it back. The heroes soul is one that is pure. It's a long reset game, and everyone knows the way it plays out.

And under rhoam, hyrule believes it knows all there is to know about the hero and the cycle. It thinks that it can shove the pieces where it wants them, that with the aid of the ancient technology it can force the warnings of history to bend to it's desire. It thinks enough violence will solve the problem entirely. It makes the master sword mimics with the blades facing up.

And it gets it wrong.

The hero reduced to a silent weapon, a shadow of the royal family, the princess helpless and unable to act, unable to access her own power.

It tries to force the issue with manpower and restrictions and piling societal pressure on the children, and hyrule falls.

Immediately, zelda is able to unlock and channel the full extent of her power, she can make a plan and not have it dismissed, she sends link to safety and travels hyrule setting the parts of a constantly moving puzzle into place, she meets ancient spirits and talks with the master sword and seals ganon on her own for the century it takes for link to return.

When he does, rhoam does not order link to save the princess. He does not pile titles and restrictions and pressures on him. He asks him to save his daughter. The hero finally gets to act at his own pace, and he chooses kindness. He chooses to go out of his way to talk to people outside his station, to listen to kids stories and leave strangers a little happier than when they met. He gathers allies loyal out of trust and not forced respect for things he hasn't done yet.

By choosing kindness and not violence (though there is an incredible amount of both), link becomes able to defeat the calamity and save zelda and the kingdom. Zelda is able to guide him and trust him to come. By working together as respected equals, they save the world.

And afterwards, the master sword is returned to her pedestal, triumphant, blade down and wings raised high.

I introduced the new guy (who's been with us since August) to the fresh new guys and said "this is the bookkeeper" and later on, the new guy was like "I was hired as an accountant and you introduced me as a bookkeeper" like???? Is he annoyed???? Joking????? Toughen up, sweetheart (that's what Colleen would say)

It really is So. Very inconvenient. As a cat owner. To have a cat-based trauma response.

OOC. Quietly thinking about Sam’s mom and how she had to work hard to live in the states, about all the sacrifices she had to made to stay there ( with marrying Sam’s father being one of them ). Thinking about the guilt Sam feels now that she’s able to think about her mom and what she’s done, and how Sam regrets how she’s acted before when she was still alive—-how that plays in to her old dreams of being an artist before everything just... fell apart.

if i may inquire on serial killersco ……does daya know boscy’s a hot sexy murderer orrr is she too infatuated to put the pieces together like does she turn a blind eye or is she just dumb 👁👁

here's the thing babeuy daya is the special agent detective bitch who's obsessed with trying to catch boscy (serial killer name pending) and they're like. they're friends they're besties they're very close i think daya shares too much confidential information about The Case which bosco already Knows anyway killer status duh but daya just trusts her that much (why wouldn't she they're best friends and daya is absolutely infatuated with them but that's beside the point) and boscy is just soooo smart they give stunning insight into the killers mind because they're just that perceptive and intelligent and empathetic and not because they are the killer 🤭 so in that way she's always like five steps ahead of daya and just generally plays tricks on her fucks with her toys with her in hopes that she'll put the pieces together in hopes that daya will Catch Her (in the very very back of her mind daya ~knows~ but doesn't want to see it or believe it she thinks so highly of her beloved boscy but bestie the evidence is mounting) anyway skipping a bunch of stuff to The Reveal dramatic confrontation type beat to bosco giving an evil villain monologue about how Killing Is Actually Good And If Killing Was So Bad Why Do I Look So Sexy Covered In Blood Daya, Join Me *flips through notes* something something d4yasco murder wives bound in holy matrimony by the blood they spill and the bodies they bury together <3 amen
