I feel like so many people misunderstand BOTW/TOTK Link especially (Zelda too, but that's another topic entirely)

His lack of expressiveness IS a personality trait. It's a direct result of the pressure on his soldiers to be a perfect soldier, hero, and savior. No, he's not Skyward Sword Link, and never will be, because his story is completely different.

"But [other Link] hugged Zelda when he got her back!" and this Link maintained a respectful distance as his princess's subordinate - but ALSO out of respect for Zelda as a person, because she spent her whole childhood having her agency denied and he wants to let her initiate even something as simple as platonic contact whenever possible. He's being kind!

(And yes, I know that primarily only the "he is a knight and she is a princess" part is directly supported in the actual game, but I'll remind the people making comparisons that the dynamic was COMPLETELY different in their favorite comparison game, Skyward Sword. But also... look at the gentleness with which Link interacts with Zelda, the tenderness that he shows so few other characters - Mipha probably being the closest example. Look at the way he looks to her first to see what to do in every scene they're in together, unless he's protecting her from an immediate threat to her life. Notice how outside of that, Zelda IS usually the one to initiate any physical contact)

I also personally hate it when people describe quiet, not very expressive people as "lacking personality" because... my partner IRL is like that. If she expressed herself at all around most people, it's in a very flat, reserved way. I've seen how it hurts her that people treat her like she doesn't have a personality, like she isn't even a full person - and I know that's real life and Zelda is fiction, but come on, do you think all the people that aren't highly expressive and extroverted don't hear that about very popular characters and internalize it?

Being reserved is a personality trait. Being cautious and not impulsive is a personality trait. In fact, I'd even say just because you as an expressive, extroverted person see Link as a blank slate to project your own personality onto, doesn't mean he actually is or was even intended that way.

(I also think this is a very US-centric point of view, honestly. There's plenty of cultures where even BOTW Link would be considered at least close to average - Finnish culture specifically comes to mind, even if he's still slightly exaggerated in that regard as, y'know, a character.)

Idk, this is as much a silly little vent post as anything, it's not that serious, etc, but whatever

(and don't get me started on "oh Zelda got no agency in TOTK and she learned the powers she was struggling overnight". No, it's called a time skip, and just because she learned her powers before the 13th hour this time - which yeah, she would get them easier this time with a mentor who could actually use the same powers, and having already learned to use her light powers - doesn't mean it just "happened overnight". And... she didn't express agency? She was actively influencing the entire flow of the timeline, changing the actions of her ancestors by convincing her ancestors to act, learning to control her powers and fighting Ganondorf, and finally expressing the ultimate form of autonomy in choosing to sacrifice herself to save the world. Some of the criticisms of TOTK didn't even seem to play the same game. Just because a heroine isn't a pop feminist badass who *gasp* wears pants and easily and perfectly kicks every villain's ass, doesn't mean she "has no agency" and is being sidelined. Like, a princess engaging in courtly politics is neither powerless nor "doing nothing")

#totk #botw #tears of the kingdom #breath of the wild #link #zelda #I'm a multishipper so I can see Zelda and Link as romantic or platonic tbh #vent post #I mean you can reblog but like #even if you disagree don't be an asshole about it #botw/totk haters tho just like. don't. criticism is fine but I'm not interested in debating w/ppl who don't bother to engage in good faith

cers 👑👑

her pose is based off this screencap of shiv succession just because i thought it fits [:

#cersei lannister #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #mine. #i wanted to do something detailed so i can get back in the groove again.. however.. underestimated the 'detailed' part #tbh the cape is supposed to have brocade too but my sanity 😭😭 #and the fashion inspiration for this is everywhere but has ice and fire ever claimed they were historically accurate? no? exactly. #i usually put her in green but i thought red would be fitting this time. tbh i was debating that colour bc that seemed typical for her alas #i craved. and i actually had like 3 more sketches for her hair + outfit but this one took so long i dont think ill ever get around #to rendering those loool. and this is also why i dont draw her often. she just has SO much.......... SO MUCH details #i cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #but i do like this series tho. where its more like a fashion exploration. i feel like redoing cat's to give her a better outfit #but i should do someone else lol

"All certified dollmakers have their personal crests, which their dolls carry. The crests are decorated with the dollmaker's signature flower, and are traditionally placed in a central position on their dolls' bodies.

For living dolls made to hold a ghost inside them, the crest is placed around the seal keeping it sealed inside the doll. This is done to symbolize the agreement between dollmaker and ghost, for the ghost to serve the dollmaker and the dollmaker to help the ghost be relieved from their burdens."

#inktober #inktober 2023 #my art #artists on tumblr #oc #original character #drawing #my artwork #illustration #traditional art #todays girls signature flower is the harebell (called cat's bell in finnish) #tbh the english language hare connection is cute too but i feel attached to this one. its the cat flower. not debating this im right #also shes another example of a dollmaker with bodymods (cat ears) #due to doll magic they can move around naturally but also bc theyre add-ons she has regular human ears with which she actually hears #CAUGHT THE TYPO BEFORE ANY REBLOGS WOAAAAG

oh also also, baghera getting increasingly french at the end of the timer was so fucking funny and i love her so much, like when her and phil fought and phil killed her and her accent thickened until she abandoned words and made french noises CHEF'S KISS reminds me of when she played outlast w cellbit slime and jaiden and got progressively more french as the night wore on, genuinely had a blast hearing her progressively dropping more and more swears in french

also reminds me of something i THINK i remember, think it was her who said during brazil she kept accidentally speaking french to people because of how close she felt to them

#qsmp #baghera jones #debated on making this post bc i wasn't sure if people would think i was making fun? i'm not trying to; to be clear #it's something i've noticed w baghera in particular and really really love #(personally i trend to a southern drawl; i am not from the american south) #i genuinely really like it #idk if your first language is french and you think this is disrespectful i'll delete it just say the word #mine is english so idk how shitty we can be :( i know we can be awful #((tbh i usually kick Myself if i can't understand an accent bc i'm the damn native speaker i should be good at this language)) #((like this is My Fault for not parsing i'm the one who knows what these words MEAN; COME ON)) #these went on a tangent but in my defense it's technically 4 am here (daylight savings) #also i was watching team red. the entire event. and then until this very moment. #this speaks for itself i think #shut up vic #block game brainrot

WHERE WERE THE AWAKENING SECOND GEN ON JULY 21ST 2023

#fe13 #fe awakening #fire emblem #fe shitpost #not tagging these mfs goddamn anyways #long tag ramble incoming btw #this is a lie bc owain pleaded all of them to go barbenheimer with him #but still #also yes there is a difference between being in between barbie and oppenheimer and being at barbenheimer #barbenheimer is its own concept #anyways i think cynthia is the type of person to be like 'yeah barbie isnt really my thing but i'll go with you' and then she cries the most #yarne is too scared of oppenheimer but he thinks the memes are funny #the morgans are FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT and as much as fmorgan likes barbie shes such an oppenheimer girl. crush on florence pugh i know it #kjelle is not up for debate btw. thinks oppenheimer is cool but shes literally feminism the unit #sat for florence pugh tho #inigo has I'm Just Ken on repeat and it will be number one on his spotify wrapped #bradys thinks saying hes an oppenheimer guy will save his masculinity but it didnt matter bc he cried at the first scene of barbie #no one knows why. it was of girls smashing baby dolls on rocks. #know that im looking at them though.. tbh they all cried at barbie its just a matter of when #u can tell me im wrong if you so wish but i dont care and im not listening #after this they went out for the barbie burger king meal and got sick

I’ve seen a few people argue that sydney sweeney’s popularity with straight men rn is a bellwether for the “age of the butt” being over. boobs are so back, etc. I mean, maybe? but i think there are two other things going on with her specifically.

her appearance, non-boob wise, has a very 90s-early 00s feel. and i don’t know what the polite way to say this is but… she doesn’t look like 14 people died mining the silicone that’s in her face, is the blunt way of saying it. she has frown lines. her eyes are asymmetrical. I’m not insulting her – this is good. that and her demeanor in interviews etc comes off as warm, bubbly, bordering on ditzy tbh but I’m not here to judge. when you put those two things together, you get “hot but approachable”.

so what do I mean? I think it’s probably also indicative that we’ve collectively burnt out on Instagram face. heavily filtered and heavily augmented is out! the people have spoken, and they demand sydney sweeney.

and even looping this back around to the boobs – half of the appeal to her simps is that she doesn’t have implants. pay attention!

#tbh it’s debatable how on board the median straight man was with the IG baddie look in the first place #because I guess in my own experience I feel like a lot of men read this look as an indicator of ‘high maintenance and vapid’ #even if they don’t explicitly state it in those terms #whether they’re right to read it this way is an entirely separate question #but look. 31 people I follow on IG are following Kylie Jenner. out of those only 2 of them are straight men #these influencers are the ladies’ version of ‘look at this massive thing at the gym I can lift’ #someone was bound to pop that bubble eventually. sydney is just in the public eye at the right time to be the one to do it

I was at a debate competition yesterday, so here's some art of the chain based on that. This is a debate au now ig?

Lu-tober day 15+16

No prompt

Debate AU lmao

Anyway highlights from the trip + bonus info

Had to get up at like 3:45 am, had to be their at 4:45 and then hours of drive time it was some bullshit no one was happy also it was cold as fuck

Wild and Hyrule being in Congress bc they're speech kids and need a debate even is so me tho. I crashed and burned cause I had not a single thing prepared lmao

Turned Legend and Four into a PF duo cause they gave me the same vibe as a pair of people on my team, also I think it'd be funny

I won first place with my Oratory! Wasn't actually expecting that, but I got straight 1's through all my rounds, was very confused at first but hey I slay :D

Last comic bit of Wild winning is basically a recreation of that moment expect there was more exited running and fistbumps as I returned to the audience

Probably never gonna touch this idea again but I find it amusing for now. Maybe one or two bored doodles during rounds.

#lutober #lu legend #lu wild #lu hyrule #idk what to tag this #anyway debate seasons starting I am dreading it yet very exited #Oh random notes about this #Wild does informative speaking #Which was my old event before a topic switch into oratory #Sky and Wars do LD. Wind does Extemp and Humorous Interps. #Originally I had Twi and Time put down as a Policy team and TBH I kinda think they still should be #I just wanted someone to throw in congress with the other two #It was originally Wars but I decided I didn't wanna draw him #Sorry wars #Can you tell I've though about this too much? #I got very bored during my Congress Round #Also didnt get murdered by ghosts hell yeah :D

Hey what are your feelings on

1. lae'zel

2. Emperor

lae'zel is actually one of the best companions in the game and everyone who hates her or says she's just mean fundamentally doesn't understand her character. she's literally the nicest girl in the world given her usual environment and upbringing. she essentially has the exact same backstory as shadowheart in that she was raised in a controlling violent cult and has spent most of her life (including the start of the game) brainwashed by that cult into the person she is today. and yet despite it all she is trying her best to help people. she DID NOT have to save you on the nautiloid and she DID NOT have to promise to take you to what she had every reason to believe was a cure-all for the tadpoles and she goes so far as to defend you and the rest of the party to other gith despite her extremely xenophobic society pressuring her around every corner to do otherwise. over the course of the game she literally had her entire way of life and belief system uprooted from top to bottom and she ultimately decides to deal with it by becoming a hero and dedicating her life to saving others from the same situation she was in. her entire character, at its core, is so extremely dedicated to helping other people even at the cost of herself. she has the same trauma and should get the same treatment and sympathy as shadowheart and you guys just don't like her because she's not conventionally attractive and standoffish at the start of the game but when you actually follow her companion quest and/or romance her she is so sweet and trying her best and she is a TOP TIER companion and i am not going to pretend like she isn't.

the emperor is one of my favorite characters in all of bg3. i know i just went off about lae'zel but god the emperor is so good. he is a LIAR. he is a Bastard Capital B In Bold. he is the deceiver trope played straight from the very beginning and you can't trust a word he says and half of act 3 is practically dedicated to proving just how full of shit he is. he is an awful person who presents himself as a savior and a hero but at the first sign of resistance or hesitation he snaps and doubles down his manipulation in an attempt to control and corral the player into doing what he wants. his first reaction to the player turning down/questioning his sex scene in any way is to gaslight and accuse them so he can shift the blame and keep up his veil of heroism. he encourages them to let go of their humanity and turn themself into a cannibalistic monster while constantly swearing it's for the greater good. he literally runs off to join the netherbrain if you free orpheus. ansur was right all along. balduran died the minute that tadpole took over and transformed him into a mindflayer and the emperor is a shell of his former self masquerading around with the same gravitas and veil of kindness he used to have, but it's gone, if it ever existed to begin with. the emperor is a fascinating example of a manipulative piece of shit done right because even the fanbase can't agree wholeheartedly on if he's good or not but if you couldn't tell my money is wholly in the "he fucking sucks guys" camp. as a character i adore him though.

#sorry for going off. this ask awoke something in me #i love bg3's character writing so much i will literally be thinking about it forever. #ask #baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #bg3 spoilers #i would've romanced lae'zel in reggie's playthrough if karlach didnt exist tbh. both bc they love mean women that peg them #and also bc i just love her. #also dont bring up omeluum and the 'do mindflayers even have souls' debate because if anything it proves even more #that emperor Legitimately Just Sucks. omeluum is a cool ass dude. he's my bestie. he's my bro. #omeluum is the embodiment of everything emperor presents himself as and everything he lies about being #if they (mindflayers) dont have souls then omeluum is still making the conscious decision to be sociable and eat as ethically as possible #while the emperor is making the conscious decision to Not Do That despite omeluum proving it can be done. #and if they DO have souls nothing changes. he is still an asshole. he is still awful. he can have a soul and that soul can be rotten. #sorry again i don't know where this emperor rant came from tbh #it may-or-may-not be incoherent. hopefully yall get the point im trying to make here

I, um, totally did not just rewatch a Zeke compilation youtube vid

I feel like Zeke's the kind of kid that hypes others up all the time but rarely receives words of encouragement himself. I'm not sure but i get the vibe that most adults doesn't expect much from him :/

It'll be pretty neat if he turns out to be the most successful one of the group :D. Not like he has to cure cancer or anything, just something he can be happy and proud of himself for. Like he's gonna be bad at tons of stuff but he'd pull through anyway. My boy deserves a good happy adulthood 🙌

Aaalsoo, Jimmy Jr & Zeke! Eh? Eh?

That's it. That's all i have left to say

#he's gonna open up a restaurant and they can all suck it! #tbh zeke and jimmy jr might neither fully understand each other's issues nor offer good advises #(especially j-ju cuz that kid ain't understand what's really going on 98% of the time) #but they'd try anyway #and after that they'd just go wrestle or do other dumb teenage boy things #forgetting about whatever stuff they were ranting about just earlier #cuz sometimes friendship's just that simple #bobs burgers #bobs burgers fanart #zeke bobs burgers #jimmy pesto jr #anyway who says jimmy doesn't appreciate his bro? i demand a debate!
