HAVE YOU SEEN MALLEUS DORM UNIFORM CARD????

I didn't get him. :( ...so I looked up his dorm story and it is incredible, oh my god. if you haven't noticed by now, Malleus doing the absolute stupidest shit with the best intentions is my favorite, and this is pandering directly to that part of me. I can't pick a favorite part.

(wait, actually, yes I can)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #also containing copious amounts of my second-favorite thing which is malleus vs technology #i can't believe it's literally canon that malleus 1) does not attend meetings because he can't figure out how to open his email #and 2) therefore GUESSES when and where the meeting is and will just. sit in the fucking library for two hours wondering where everyone is. #mal. honey. you can be all '~fae and humans have such different senses of reality~' #but i think you might just be a doofus. #also canon: malleus powerwashes his phone and then is like 'i didn't do anything it just broke' #and don't forget my THIRD-favorite thing which is malleus trying very hard to be a good host and being extremely bad at it #this story really has it all huh #everyone's super mad and screaming at him and he's just like 'feel free to have some cake } :)' #yep. definitely a doofus.

We all know and love zutara's Hades & Persephone parallels. Complimentary opposites constantly being misunderstood as a captor/victim- badboy/goodgirl- edgy/sunshine trope despite significant nuances; being torn between familial and spousal devotion; ruling over their kingdom as equally powerful forces of nature... Good good stuff.

But may I humbly suggest that we have been woefully neglecting the sheer dramatic potential of taang x Eros & Psyche.

#lonely rich girl reduced to the sum of her physical traits x flighty boy of god-like power c'mon ppl #i feel there is something to be said here #the emphasis on sight and knowing somebody by their soul instead of their face?? #turns out there's some animosity between H&P and E&P fans that I was not aware of until today #like yeah there's lots of bad takes on H&P floating around and E&P deserves more attention #but there are literally two cakes ppl #stop pitting two of the only functional marriages in this mythos against eachother! #it's literally mythology there is no 'canon' stop being annoying #zutara #taang #my posts #atla #other thought im chewing on is which mythological love story works for sukka?? #Ariadne and Dionysus maybe?? #OOOOOr Atalanta and Hippomenes?!?! #was this an excuse to get out my thoughts on greek mythology discourse? maybe #eros and psyche has been my favourite greek myth for nearly the last decade and i need ppl to know #fr context i highly recommend the overly sarcastic productions videos on yt! #zuko x katara #toph x aang #in this house we love Hades & Persephone and Eros & Psyche equally thank you very much

here's that essay i accidently hyped up (sorry) on how fionna & cake did a poor job of concluding betty & simons characters + story in the final 2 episodes. sorry it is so insanely long. i don't know what my deal is. sometimes a show just does such a bad job of handling your favorite characters that you have to write 19k+ words complaining about it, i guess. im linking it as a pdf bc i DO NOT want to have 2 copy & paste this all over to tumblr & i kinda don't think tumblr would be happy with me making a post that long.

#if it sucks uhm. be nice to me pls 👉👈 #ik im very snarky & kinda harsh in this but like. i rlly dont usually share my thoughts on media like this much #im ok w hearing rebuttals btw. but also its not likley youll change my mind #im really happy other ppl enjoyed this ending (& also kinda jealous) #but i very definitely. dont like it #not just from a personal standpoint but in that #i just genuinely think the portrayal of simon & betty was done really poorly #things r bolded + theres random section titles that interupt the flow #bc even tho i wrote this much i do genuinely have reading comprehension issues #as in the actual definition of poor reading comprension. due to disability #not the tumblr thing where its for some reason used to mean ' bad at understanding media ' sometimes #oh yea also the font is big bc of this too #im nervou s abt this but too late now ig #fionna and cake spoilers #im not putting it in the tags its 4 the ppl who already know abt it #its emberassing that i wrote all this but i think its worse if i dont share it bc then i just. have it #mmmm..worst part is i dont even cover everything. i have MORE complaints #text

saying portal’s writing aged poorly because the humor is all “rofl teh epic random!!” 2010s internet humor is like… i guess? only because a lot of that era’s internet humor was massively influenced by the writing in portal and a lot of media tried (and usually failed) to replicate it as a result. it would have aged poorly if the jokes were highly referential and/or felt out of character for anyone but they don’t

idk, the comedy in both portal and portal 2 still hold up imho. the writing is/was S tier and so when everyone else tried to emulate it, you got burnt out on that style of humor. that in no way means it aged poorly

#yeah ‘the cake is a lie’ isn’t funny because it became an over used meme a month after the first game released #but when presented within the context of the game it’s still good #I Am Very Normal About Takes I Do Not Agree With Thank You #also it would have aged poorly if the entire game was relentlessly cracking jokes #but a lot of the comedy is subtle #and the character also take time to be serious when the plot calls for it #idk Just a bad take imho!!

Here, i finally finished this💀

Meet my Zelink fan kids! I have alot planned for them, but I'm too shy to actually share everything, especially bc I've only now just started fully exploring Totk (i got the game around last month) and so i wanna make sure I'm like, canon accurate, but i wouldn't mind answering questions about them👉👈

Anyhow, some fun facts about the desings:

Sonia has scars on her eyes and the tip of her left ear, why? The ones on her eyes were caused by a wolf she came across the one time she ran away from home (due to her jealousy over her sister when she was born, it's a long story), the one on her ear is bc of a bird she tried to grab once since Adira thought it was cute and wanted to pet it (Adira was 2, Sonia was 5)

Sonia's earring was a gift from her bff/crush, a gerudo girl that imma keep secret for now bc I'm still working on her

Adira's feather necklace is a gift from her close buddy/bff, a rito, which I'm also gonna be hush hush about for now

Adira messes around with alot of not so safe devices out of curiosity and the need to create, but gets her hands dirty/hurt in the process, hence the band-aids

They both have small fangs thanks to their mom (iykyk)

Adira's favorite color is pink, Sonia's is blue

Also, huge thanks to @carogdraws for helping me desing their clothes! It was a huge help and i probably wouldn't have done it without it ^^

Now, those are the extra info i have for them, the rest of the basic info i have already shared will be under the cut

Yes it was copy pasted from the last post i did about them, but i have a need to keep everything in one neat little post sue me

The two girls are 3 years apart. Oldest is Sonia (yes, named after Queen Sonia herself), and the youngest is Adira

Sonia is more like her dad, especially in terms of looks, but she inherited her mother's eyes and thurst for answers. She's very energetic and adventurous and likes helping others

She tends to be the guinea-pig to a lot of her sister's projects and creations since she has almost no self-preservation. She enjoys it tho, thinking it as a fun activity to try out new things and hang out with her sister. She also enjoys carving things, mainly toys and masks. Most of her sister's toys were made by her when they were around 11 and 8

Although she is usually quite the airhead, and not really the brightest (like her dad, cough-), she definitely inherited her mother's overthinker mind. Doesn't help that she also tends to think little of herself, being the firstborn of the Princess and Hero themselves, alot of people put her under alot of high expectations and although her parents tried their best to show she didn't have to prove her worth, the gossip around town was hard to ignore, doesn't help the fact that her sister has started to become a prodigy to her mom, creating inventions to help hyrule and planning to bring the royal system back when she's old enough

Sonia though, has no intention of bringing the royal life back, nor to continue it. Like her dad she wants to explore, she's fascinated by history and wants to disvover every small relic left unseen. And she wants to travel beyond Hyrule one day as well and help those she comes across her path. But also perhaps, escape the duties and expectations others put on top of her, and perhaps prove herself better then those expectations

She loves her sister tho, despite everything, and will never admit to her how jelouse she actually is of Adira. How jealous she was of Adira of being able to hang out with their mom so much, have so much in common with her, sometimes she wonders if she has anything from her mom other then her eyes

Adira is alot like her mother, especially in the looks department, but she has her father's eyes and thurst for chaos. She's usually quiet, but very sassy when needs be, and although seeming quite shy, she got quite the temperament and wont hold back her tounge

Like mentioned previously she becoms a prodigy to her mom, creating and getting invested on inventions to help hyrule and planning to bring the royal system back when she's old enough. She spends most of her time studying and working on anything technology finding it fun to see what possible outcomes it came give

Although sometimes the pressure is too much, as much as her parents give her the liberty to explore her interests, as she had started to show advancements in her creations and helping hyrule, as well as proclaiming to bring back the kingdom (even tho she was a child when she said that), all eyes were now set on her and she is terrified of any failure, and to disappoint everyone, she usually confides on her sister who never cared of her status and just liked to be around her for her (and well, she felt too embarrassed about it to tell her parents about it, they didn't need to worry about such simple things in her eyes, they already fought the townsfolk so much bc of that, she didn't want to make them dislike her parents bc of her)

She admires her sister alot, looks up to her and wishes she could be as cool as her, as free as her, but she isn't good in any sort of physical activities and is usually just stuck in the lab. And that causes a smidge of jealousy as Sonia is able to bond more with their dad then Adira ever could, she feels like she has nothing in common to her dad other then his eyes and need for chaos (which the second part was something looked down apon by others)

And those are the basics i have so far, there is more but I'm unsure about it for now, and aren't 100% concrete yet, so i wont share at the moment

But before i end this, here are some small fun facts:

Both Sonia and Adira are pure glutons, just like their dad XD. They have cooking sessions together quite often, helping around the kitchen when they can;

Sonia loves horses as much as her dad does, but she is terrified of riding them, because when she was little and riding one for the first time, the person who set settle on didn't do it properly and she fell, head first into a rocky ground, and to add onto it, the horse stepped right onto her pinky. Now she has small panic attacks trying to ride them

Sonia actually used to hate Adira. Since Adira was a rainbow baby, Zelda and Link did kinda get overprotective with her and accidentally neglected Sonia. That didn't last long after Sonia did cause a whole scene with running away and almost getting killed- but that's likez a whole other story in itself lol (i might make a more detailed post about this later). But after that incident, they were able to work things out, and Sonia ended up being way more protective over Adira than her own parents

#I'm ngl #am a little nervous to post this #especially to share their final desing #i talked with a friend who is very much more knowledgeable than i am in the traditional wear #and I'm very greatful to her for that #but I've seen other share their fan kids themselves so i decided it wouldn't be too bad ro share mine #cake talks #cakes art #legend of zelda #loz #loz zelda #loz link #botw #totk #botw zelda #botw link #botw zelink #totk zelda #totk link #totk zelink #zelink #zelink kids

This isn't really a My Demon problem, but I'm getting really tired of the "can't make food" trope because it keeps being used in ways that I just can't believe. Do Do-hee is supposed to be a very intelligent woman, baking a cake is really not that hard, and sugar comes in much bigger packaging than salt, so that's a dumb mistake. Also, the icing job on that cake was 100x more difficult than baking the cake (as someone who has both iced and baked cakes) so it's ridiculous that it looks so good but tastes so bad. It would be more realistic if it tasted good but was iced poorly. Also, doesn't she operate a drink company? Shouldn't she be familiar with food???

Amateurs are most likely to burn food, overseason, underseason, and undercook. But the trope is always that they make perfect looking food that somehow turns out to taste terrible, which is so unbelievable. Most inedible food looks inedible. Business Proposal and Tale of the Nine Tailed also annoyed me with this trope, My Lovely Liar and Perfect Marriage Revenge did it well (he overcooked a steak and she overbaked a brownie). Also, the FL of PMR had a very strong aversion to food which made her lack of cooking ability more believable.

I also don't mind this trope if the is person nobility and is from the past. Because 1: no YouTube, 2: that is a servant job, and 3: cooking was much harder because you had to use open fires (those who have camped know). Alchemy of Souls did a fun twist on this trope without making me angry.

#bad cooking trope #my demon #that cake annoyed me #the icing job was expert #that is VERY hard to do #people pay a lot of money for cakes that look ao good #rant #kdramas #but honestly this trope it everywhere

Anyways Petrigrof is meant to be bittersweet, it’s been that way the whole series.

#if you want them to be together and happy that’s good and means the writers did their job #but you can get your fill of that in fabrication #the characters not being in the best situation they could be isn’t a fault of the show #fionna and cake #petrigrof #btw I hope it doesn’t come off that I’m dissing fanfic or people who wanted them to be happy together #I enjoy fanfiction and believe it is a very underrated form of writing #just saying that ‘things are ok’ isn’t a bad ending #cant believe my phone autocorrected fanfiction to fabrication and didn’t tell me
