with my phantom hourglass replay, there are two things i noticed;
a possible theme you could glean from the game is action vs inaction, and i think it's especially prevalent before you even leave mercay the first time, with oshus frequently urging link to not go after the ghost ship, then to just wait until the broken bridge is fixed, and seems reluctant at every turn while link and ciela are more than eager to go and do something about this problem, and the people of mercay in general talking about things and their problems but never seeming to act on their fears or desires, as well as the mention that due to the ghost ship, very very few people are still sailing around, while linebeck is one of the only people we see in the game actively going after the ghost ship and still sailing around. i might make a longer post just talking more about the action vs inaction in phantom hourglass but i just noticed it a bit and thought it was a bit of an interesting sort of theme you could find in the game.
linebeck moves so fucking much. i think he moves more than any npc in the rest of the game. not just in his intro cutscene where he is very animated, just in how much he moves when just standing in his little idle post, it's damn near distracting when the camera is focused on him, he moves a lot. i don't think i've really acknowledged how much he moves, and it really gives the impression that he's antsy or eager to get going, both of which fit him pretty well with how he acts.

ohhhh my god. okay. so. my aunt does like, she buys random junk in bulk from retail wholesalers and then resells it on like, facebook marketplace and ebay and stuff. whatever. so my mom works for her. makes a flat $50 a day, regardless of the fact that shes disabled and doing hard labor for at least 8 hours a day, often 10+. and min wage here is $10 an hour but mom argued that $50 a day is still more than what she would make working the same hours at an actual job because of taxes...like girl that would be 50% taxes. you do not pay that fucking much. so thats already Bad.
but today mom shows me a video of a knife theyre gonna sell, and i watch 2 seconds and i realize its an automatic knife, and i tell her hey. thats illegal to possess in this state. let alone sell! and mom is like ohhh [aunt] knows what shes doing itll be fine.... we sell knives on there all the time she just doesnt put pictures and calls them something else on the listing to get around fb/ebays policies :)
LIKE. HELLO. THATS NOT BETTER. YOURE COMMITTING MULTIPLE CRIMES. *AS YOUR JOB.* and she was just like "its not a big deal she knows what shes doing." folks, this is the same aunt that, very illegally, paid me to sort through her clients confidential tax documents and bank records and stuff. because she works for a bank. and took the records home to sort them. i dont think she DOES know what shes doing, actually!

real talk i’m def understanding my attachment style so much better & tbh i’m way more anxious than i’ll ever admit & it’s when feelings of anxiety/uncertainty/ or any uncomfortable feeling in any relationship that makes me think avoidance is the solution & so my solution to that problem is to to try to better communicate & get better coping skills for anxiety/fear/doubt etc etc & to self sooth & reassure&validate myself better but also actually reach out to ppl if i need outside support as well (bc i rlly never want to b avoidant sometiems i need time to process/actually figure out how to properly articulate things but overall have learned so many times that avoidance never works & hurts myself & the ppl i love & care abt & i’m rlly trying hard not to do that
bc i rlly crave such close connection & then the thought of not having that connection makes me so scared i’m like oh wait if i pretended like i never needed it in the first place (even tho i rlly rlly rlly do) idk if they makes any sense idc i feel like every time im home i slowly understand a little more as to why the way i am lol
i care!!!!!! i care i care i care …. i care so much it hurts so bad i care so much it makes me sometimes wish i didn’t care but i can’t not …. i care so much
