#kingdom hearts 2 #kh2 #sora #riku #my gif #ever since i was a kid i was always so entranced by this limit #it's so intricate and cool #where do i even begin #sora utilizing the power of darkness and shooting it from his hands? love that #then riku takes hold of sora's keyblade and dual wields as they become encased in light and take the shape of huge swords #he swings them then passes them both to sora for him to do the same #then they link arms as a bunch of swords materialize and spin alongside them #it's just such a cool display of the balance between light and darkness #a theme that's so important to the games #and of course there's the fist bump haha

I am once again being haunted by "a paradox" holy fuck Olivia what the fuck is going on here what did you get yourself involved with and what did you do after it speak to me Olivia I can't keep living like this

#rat rambles #oni posting #the second half fills you with the horrors so you forget that the log opened up with that b111-1 bomb #for the record a paradox is one of my favorite lore logs of all of them because its the log that made me go Oh Shit and go reread all the #olivia logs I initially only skimmed through and begun the olivia brain takeover #the second part rewired my brain irreversably like its so fucked I love it #in particular one thing that makes me so fucking glad that the old olivia jackie logs were scrapped is that originally jackie was the one #who printing pod ified olivia to save her from the end of the world or smth #but the change to make it self inflicted? fucking amazing ten million times better and more interesting #especially because it implies she did it on purpose! #which opens up so many doors and I fucking Love it #because the teleportation technology was what she knew of as a method of doing this but either A shed have to have kept using teleporters #anyways and either just count on her not dying or counting On her dying #or shed have to know the link between it and the neural vaculators #which is very possible considering Stuff™ but does raise the question of how she used it #now the boring answer is that her brain map was already taken from the neural vaculator tests but god. that answer is boring. #the most interesting possibility to me personally is that she could have well. tinkered a bit with existing technology. #unlikely? maybe. fun to explore for my purposes? yep. #also I need the peace of knowing that jackie never got the satisfaction of knowing what happened with olivia's dissapearance #or if she did only after the fact #I need this to have been completely out of jackie's viewpoint at the top and I need it to fuck with her and shatter her worldview #I need to see the desperation and paranoia of a woman who is realizing that she has lost control over her technology #I need to see her try to cling onto her past ambitions and sense of control while falling apart at the seams #and I need olivia to have never thought jackie would give a shit until all else but her is dead and gone #do you see my vision do you see it do you see how much more fun it is if it was extremely deliberate instead of only lightly so

I said, "Can I examine the dead human now?" Indah just looked tired. "Can you humor me and please refer to the victim as 'the deceased' or 'the victim' during the course of the investigation?" She turned to go, not waiting for an answer. She missed Mensah mouthing the words stop it at me. (Fugitive Telemetry, 12-13) Thiago was standing out on said observation deck, trying to reason with a potential target. (That’s "potential" per the earlier conversation where Dr. Arada said Oh SecUnit, I wish you wouldn’t call people "targets" and Thiago had given me the look that usually means It just wants an excuse to kill someone.) (Network Effect, 9)

ugh, hate it when these special snowflakes ask me not to refer to people as "the dead human" or [checks notes] "the human who i'm gonna kill here in a minute," sooo annoying 🙄

#guess who has finally started the network effect reread slash notetaking endeavor? this guy! #and this is the very first thing i noticed #(i feel i should clarify that page 9 is the first page in my copy lol. i can be observant! when i try really hard!) #i just love mb's push-and-pull between how it wants to refer to things and how the humans want it to refer to them #and how it like. snarkily corrects itself in its narration in such a way that you can just feel the eyeroll #e.g. 'Prematurely eliminating the visible targets (excuse me‚ potential targets) on deck #might just tip us out of incipient shitshow into full-on shitshow.' #or how in FT it starts saying 'the deceased' when talking to indah but continues using 'the dead human' in its internal monologue #WHICH i just think is INCHERESTING especially alongside mb's crankiness about very benign preservation naming conventions #it wants to use the words it wants to use! this is a display of independence! but hey guess what mb sometimes #other people have rights too lmao and yeah sometimes you gotta make concessions to their delicate little sensibilities #like ''not wanting to think of people as 'dead members of my species' or 'about-to-be-dead members of my species''' #murderbot #mb identifiers #mb categorization #the murderbot diaries #my posts #f #linked to #i also think it's funny that mb took arada's feedback and just added the word 'potential'. like i don't think that's arada's problem here? #AND it's interesting that later when mb is doing the dramatic rescue it decides 'at the last second' #to change from 'kill-hits' to 'wound-hits' because 'Thinking of Arada’s sad face made me too uncomfortable' #HMM. MUCH 2 THINK ABOUT

[daddyplasmius]

okay, so, I've collected a bunch of DP fandom stuff that I remember off the top of my head, specifically in chronological order & colour coded here in this post (fics/comics, tumblr posts, important imo) for no reason other than I saw a post asking for Phandom history & it triggered my biggest, most long-running hyperfixation & now I'm curious if anyone else remembers stuff.

this link is going to be the permanent version I will be updating, but I'm posting what I currently have (gonna go through my old laptop later for more) just to let people know. you can also find the link on my blog, but only on desktop. It isn't colour coded there, sorry.

please share more if you got anything else cuz I'm 100% sure I'm missing a lot of stuff & am too interested now. the biggest reason a lot of stuff isn't here is that I simply can't find it. second biggest reason is i forgor. things not included here aren't "unimportant," this is just the first stuff that comes to mind.

#Danny Phantom #Phandom History Archive #do you even understand how hard it was to find the original Wes post???????? #i spent like 2 hours on that alone #Wes Weston why are you so hard to find #just realizing that a lot of shit happened in 2014 #like. 2014/2015 ish #i joined somewhere between 2014 & 2016 so i guess i literally came here right at the peak of phandom activity #the height of tumblr's paranormal activity. you might say #i think i'm just biased though #should i put my own fics on here. Phantom is pretty important to me being my first DP fic #& also the thing that got me back into writing #it's not very good but by god if i dont love it. & anyways i put Bird AU on here lol i think i can put Phantom up at some point. as a treat #also if any links are broken tell me cuz i'm not checking them again. it's 4am #reminder: gotta find those Bird AU fics i read & put em here. there ARE actual Bird AU fics. i know there are. i did not hallucinate that #it just might be the hardest thing on earth to do since that was years ago & i have no idea what they were called #anyway gonna add a fuckton of fics & (hopefully) tumblr posts when i go through my old laptop. i got everything bookmarked on there #like. so many fics. i had them organized too based on what kind of fic it was. but they all have stupid names cuz i was like 15 #me: i should do my stencil art today. just to be a bit productive & also maybe make money #my brain: what if you organized Danny Phantom fandom posts into a big archive for people to look at? for free. until 4am. #me: you know what that sounds so much better let's do that

[an--artistic--autistic]

i got like 10 people to take the RAADS-R test today

the topic of autism and self diagnosis came up again, and i always go "the first place i went to told me to pay $3000 for the assessment + with a diagnosis there comes a ton of legal barriers such as immigration, so until all of that stops being a thing, self diagnosis is totally okay as long as you're looking at reputable sources for that information"

which became people comparing RAADS-R scores, and then more people started the test as well.

Out of everyone there, one person got below an 80— with a 20. (The threshold for autism is 60+/240, I got a score of 190)

#and i got to talk to a bunch of people about synesthesia and hyper/a-phantasia as well #i sent so many people links to websites today #and i find it funny that i spend most autism conversations deterring people from getting a formal diagnosis despite having one myself #i think if you can get supports through a different diagnosis with less weird legal issues then absolutely do that instead #i was extremely lucky to get in with a psychiatrist that did assessments for free eventually #but the first place was like “our ASD assessment service is a total cost of around $3000” #also referring all the autistic people to autism supports (there's so many good ones in my city and i know them all) #i am also love learning more about the overlap between queer identities and autism (and just neurodivergency in general) #i personally know some of the people doing research in that area and I've participated in like 8 different projects #anyways yeah i thought it was funny that out of 15 people there was 1 allistic person #autism #actually autistic #autistic #actuallyautistic

“You're still my brother”

Words: 7,397 Read on AO3 Erica Sinclair has done a fair share of teasing her older brother throughout her ten years of life. But it's only fair, he's a giant nerd after all. But then she finds out that he's somehow managed to get an actual real life girl to not only be his friend but to also date him? So now it's her new mission to 1) tease him about it, and also 2) keep an eye on this strange new development. or, the development of Lucas and Max's relationship through Erica's eyes from December 1984 to March 1986

#st fic #stranger things fic #kaisa writes #lucas sinclair #erica sinclair #finally got something finished! #and i haven't made moodboards in ages so i figured why not! #this was really fun to make! #the dynamics between the sinclair siblings and max and erica are so great and have a ton of potential #would love to see more of them interacting in s5 #but until then i'll just write about them #so click the link to read it! #(the middle image is a little harsh but it just fit the look of the moodboard so well i just had to include it haha) #mine

If there's one thing I like more than time travel it's crossover reincarnation, so.

Botk link reincarnated as Damian Wayne.

An incredible weapon master of all types, but especially prodigious with a sword - he was beating knights at the age of 4 and with his memories as intact as they get for him I can see that goalpost moving even further (probably with traps and tricks, a 3yo doesn't exactly have great bodily control).

He's an excellent survivalist, agile, strong, durable, cunning and creative. He can move like a feather in the breeze, strike from behind with ease. His first kill, an animal, did not stir him as it did the other children. With his poise, grace, skills, obedience, he ought to be ra'as' finest assassin in the making, a jewel in the crown of the league.

Except he never speaks a word. Half his targets escape unscathed. He skates by true punishment on the merit of his skills and achievements in other missions. Testing has shown it is not a physical deformity that prevents his speech, but not even talia has been able to coaxe a word from him past his second birthday.

It is a defect ra'as is growing more and more frustrated by, as each attempt to fix these two final flaws ends in resounding failure. Less extreme solutions are running dry.

Talia fears those solutions. Her child does too, she knows. For them, there is a possible solution, more extreme than anything ra'as would tolerate.

She sends him out of the league. To his father.

To Gotham.

#'gee phoenix that sure sounds like that dp x dc you're normally rattling on about' yeah lol I steal tropes and sell them on the black market #Anyway this has been slowly rotisserie-ing in my head for a while I just like shaking canon like a magic 8 ball #I'd love to explore how link would react to Gotham and how he might see getting suddenly dumped in a found family as the youngest #And how that contrasts with both his expectations in the league and his role as the saviour last hope of a whole country #Because that kid cannot have a modern interpretation of killing. Like monsters? Kill with prejudice loot the corpses. #The yiga might have a little more hindsight understanding and he never killed them anyway but zero hesitation blowing them up #And ganon is so far removed from the concept of 'killing is bad' because a) human??? Monster??? B) literally the problem #C) he's been killing people so it'd even out d) everyone wants him dead So Bad e) been killed already like a dozen times what's one more #I get the feeling he'd assign the same role to the joker like 'widely considered the source of all evil. 'died' several times and came back #personal source of absolute misery for several heroes. Killed many' = slay the monster. Straightforward. #Like yes link always chooses kindness and has a strong morality and Opinion on killing people it's just a lot would be solved #By hitting the joker until he stopped making life miserable for everyone and if that means permanently well that's kind of link's job. #And like with Jason the bats understand that a lot better than they pretend to. But that is a 10yo who should not be thinking like that. #I think it'd be interesting to see how that'd change their reactions to 'Damian'. Like he holds a very similar opinion to og and Jason he #Just goes about it completely differently. #And I'd love to explore the differences between two fictional worlds and how they can go from pretty much the most black/white morality #To probably one of the greyest areas while still holding near identical themes and methods of dealing with that. #Found family compassion as a weapon against evil and copious amounts of weapons and cool gear lol #Also link should keep the arm he's earned it. Reincarnating with all his memories knocked a few other things loose I'd imagine #Mostly because all the loz games I've played have absolutely altered the way I view any link and also I love referencing them. #Damian with telekinesis and infinite glue would be great. A tiny 10yo sword master choosing instead to drop a dumpster on you #In between hurt comfort link beginning to bond with his family and begin to speak and learn sign language from cass #There's also the sound of explosives and a small figure clinging to a flying door as it crosses the Gotham night skies #Speaking of cass I bet her and link would be great friends in this au. #batman #batfam #bruce wayne #loz au #Loz #loz totk

[afriendlygoblin]

oh also i need SkSw!Zelda to meet BOTW!Zelda because yeah i do. i mean seeing sky!Zelda going to purify herself in the springs and then having to sacrifice herself to keep the big bad guy at bay for centuries... and then having wild!Zelda going to purify herself in the springs and then having to sacrifice herself to keep the big bad guy at bay for a century... ahh the feels

the main difference i felt being that sky!Zelda does everything right and her powers work just fine but wild!Zelda does everything right but her powers refuse to awaken. also nobody except Impa knew what sky!Zelda had to do, whereas literally everyone knows that wild!Zelda is destined and supposed to have the power to seal the Calamity away.

ahhh they deserve to hug each other and spit on Demise while their respective Links are off somewhere climbing stuff or skydiving off whatever cliff.

and when wild!Zelda becomes TOTK or "tears" Zelda and she has to travel to the distant past and sacrifice herself AGAIN and go through a dormant state (dragon) for millenia in order to help Link defeat the big bad guy in the present, she deserves another hug from sky!Zelda who had to travel to the distant past to go through a dormant state for millenia in order to help Link defeat the big bad guy in the present

#skyward sword #breath of the wild #tears of the kigndom #the legend of zelda #i'd add more thoughts but i'm too tired for that #i just want them to interact there are way too many parallels between them #and i'm sure the Links would love each other too #silly boys doing base jump and paragliding/sailclothing off sky islands

[a-friendly-dumpster-fire]

(geoglyphs/dragon tears quest spoilers)

thinking about the way impa says “our zelda” after link tells her about the light dragon, and what zelda did to become it. thinking about how they were both her protectors before the calamity, and how neither of them are now. how they both still want to protect her. how impa waited for a century, how impa is old, how she cannot protect zelda anymore. how link is young. how he can protect her. how he can protect her for the both of them. how even if impa doesn’t protect zelda the way link does they both still do. how it is “our zelda.” how her protection is not links burden to bear alone. how it draws that distinction between their zelda— green eyes, princess, protected— and that beast in the sky. how it gives link hope. how it shows that, for 100 years and more, it has been zelda that both impa and link wanted to protect. how impa believes they can protect her once more, “our zelda,” the girl with green eyes who likes silent princess and studying history.

impa did not study the geoglyphs because they were linked to dragon tears. link did not touch those dragon tears because they were linked to a dragon. they both did it with the hope of getting closer to where zelda is, to find her, to protect her just as they have always done. thinking about the intimacy of sharing the same role with someone. of how only impa understands what it must be like for link to want to protect zelda, and vice versa.

#i am. not fucking okay #i was still on an emotional rollercoaster from the last memory and when impa said our zelda that just broke whatever was left #impa gave one hundred years and link his life to protect zelda #to save zelda #to drag zelda out of the depths of the calamity #both of them did it not because she was the princess #but becuase she was zelda. their zelda #and even now she is their zelda. they fight to save her because she is their zelda #not becuase she is a sage #or a dragon #or a princess #or anything #she is their zelda. the zelda they both protect because it was their job and now do because she is their friend #im just. so emotional over this #it is the difference between loving someone because you can’t help it and loving someone because you want to #becoming friends. we do not have the same interests to bond over but we bond anyway. #i love you because i want you to be loved. i am your friend because i want us to be. i protect you because i want you to be protected. #loz totk #tears of the kingdom

[always-a-joyful-note]

ALSO THAT "putting the other four eccentricd in fine" reminds me of this post I did of the five eccentrics. Like, the power we have in our hands...

LET THEM DANCE TOGETHER AGAIN INDEED.

The five eccentrics makes me so.....OUGH. They're friends. They're brothers. They're soulmates. They were fated to be together. They were forced to be a group by the machinations of other people. They're everything and they make me so insane with their unironic affection for each other (and their insufferable love for their little brother Natsume). And the way we can just let them SING together again is the best thing this mv gives us the power to do.

#one of these days im gonna make a 5 eccentrics post because *shakes someone randomly* THEY MAKE ME INSANE #like the moment i saw them in the anime and then the elements mini episodes #and then heard eccentric party night and twilight pentagram #i was like 'oh no....not another group of soulmate-coded friends that will drive me into the pit of insanity' #AND THE BEST PART IS THAT THEY ALL GET MORE OR LESS EQUAL NARRATIVE LOVE!!! #like i love link click and orv but sometimes i do think that the ladies of those trios dont get enough love from the narrative #(not saying they don't get it and its not important or weighty...just not as....packed as it could be? idk maybe thats just me) #and its SO CUTE TO SEE THE DUOS BETWEEN THEM TOO IM JFIEOARIERJEWRE #sorry for going a little insane i love the five idiot geniuses a lot actually #enstars #ensemble stars #fandom spamdom #stuff i say

[darkside-skyguy]

I don't know how to put this into words exactly but I kind of feel like there's this idea engrained in the Strong Female Character trend that goes along with the whole "she don't need no man" thing where a woman is not allowed to be changed or effected positively by romantic love at all. Like, she should be independent and self-sufficient to the point that romance is just a side bonus and not consequential to her personal growth in any way! (Romance almost as a reward for her independence? For being Strong?) And I think that's completely false and disingenuous. Because sometimes the impetus for change or finding meaning in one's life is love. Sometimes love is the thing that saves a person. It doesn't have to be, by any means, but also doesn't not have to be. It's unrealistic and stupid to ignore the significance of romantic relationships for fear that the woman will somehow be made worse or weaker for loving someone.

#this was specifically prompted by a post i saw on a play i watched recently and loved #where op said they wished the woman hadn't been prompted to action because of her love and instead because of.... something else? #and idk it rubbed me the wrong way #because it was a love story #and sometimes love is the point!!!!!! #actually love is always the point and not just romantic love okay #but this can also apply to a lot of things #and because this is my star wars blog i'm going to link it back to reylo and how people were so pissed that rey might have a love story #specifically a love story with an unsuitable person #and how amazing it would have been to explore how the love between ben and rey changed both of them for the better #how rey's love saved ben #and how it saved her too #so.... yeah #alyssa rambles #reylo

[jacksintention]

Concerning the conversation about love and hatred, I've compiled a few of the lines I've saved through these last two years that at times make me think of Jack when it comes to this topic

Estas manos, que son tuyas,

pero que al verte quisieran

quebrar las ramas azules

y el murmullo de tus venas.

¡Te quiero! ¡Te quiero! ¡Aparta!

Que si matarte pudiera,

te pondría una mortaja

con los filos de violetas.

¡Ay, qué lamento, qué fuego

me sube por la cabeza!

(...)

¡Ay qué sinrazón! No quiero

contigo cama ni cena,

y no hay minuto del día

que estar contigo no quiera,

porque me arrastras y voy,

y me dices que me vuelva

y te sigo por el aire

como una brizna de hierba.

.

Love has no middle term; either it destroys, or it saves. All human destiny is this dilemma. This dilemma, destruction or salvation, no fate proposes more inexorably than love. Love is life, if it is not death. Cradle; coffin, too. The same sentiment says yes and no in the human heart. Of all the things God has made, the human heart is the one that sheds most light, and alas! most night.

.

It is sometimes said that the sword wears out the scabbard. That is my history. My passions have made me live, and my passions have killed me.

.

Stronger than lover’s love is lover’s hate. Incurable, in each, the wounds they make.

I adore you, but I hate you too. You’re a prison smothered in flowers. I can’t stand this enchantment anymore, I can’t stand being bewitched like this–when I look at you, my gaze turns to nothing but a mirror of light, I’ll stare at you hypnotized for ages, and when I stop seeing you I’ll feel you, and when I stop feeling you I’ll die.

.

Someone tells me: this kind of love is not viable. But how can you evaluate viability? Why is the viable a Good Thing? Why is it better to last than to burn?

.

Life is a series of obsessions one must do away with. Aren’t love, death, God, or saintliness interchangeable and circumstantial obsessions?

.

she is the only thing of importance, because I have a God-relationship to her.

.

it is not she who binds me, but I who have made use of her to bind myself.

.

The thought that you exist is so divinely blissful in itself that it is ridiculous to talk about the everyday sadness of separation—a week’s, ten days’—what does it matter? Since my whole life belongs to you.

.

What have you done with me? he asks. I have repeated you.

.

But I do feel strange-almost unearthly. I’ll never get used to being alive. It’s a mystery. Always startled to find I’ve survived

Walking home, for a moment / you almost believe you could start again. / And an intense love rushes to your heart, / and hope. It's unendurable, unendurable

.

I clung to him as though only the one who had inflicted the pain could comfort me for suffering it.

I could be free … If I could pluck out the memory of him from my heart as easily as his heart was plucked from the fire, I could be free.

.

I am imprisoned by devotion. I shy away from people. I am alone. I fall into depression.

She was the world That he was losing; and the world he sought Was all a tale for those who had been living, And had not lived. Once even he turned his horse, And would have brought his army back with him To make her free. They should be free together. But the Voice within him said: “You are not free. You have come to the world’s end, and it is best You are not free. Where the Light falls, death falls; And in the darkness comes the Light.

.

I miss you like a knife in my throat.

.

Only love can save me and love has destroyed me.

Should I be grateful or should I curse the fact that despite all misfortune I can still feel love, an unearthly love but still for earthly objects?

.

My songs are filled with poison - Why shouldn’t that be true? My heart bears a nest of serpents And also, darling, you.

.

their love is like hatred

.

She did not yet love him enough to be cruel to him.

.

our hatred is almost indistinguishable from our love

.

under the sincere guise of hatred I simply loved […], only in this type of love (repulsion) I loved him with greater strength than had I loved him in the simplest form — attraction.

.

Perhaps he was handsome, perhaps I found him attractive, perhaps he repelled me too.

.

Struck by the abstract nature of absence; yet it’s so painful, lacerating. Which allows me to understand abstraction somewhat better: it is absence and pain, the pain of absence—perhaps therefore love?

.

Eroticism is the brink of the abyss. I’m leaning out over deranged horror (at this point my eyes roll back in my head). The abyss is the foundation of the possible. We’re brought to the edge of the same abyss by uncontrolled laughter or ecstasy. From this comes a “questioning” of everything possible. This is the stage of rupture, of letting go of things, of looking forward to death.

.

Love is madness. Doesn’t everyone agree that you’d do anything, endure anything, to be with the ones you love? So either you’re willing to let them use you with any sort of cruelty, so long as they keep you—which makes you a fool—or you’re willing to commit any cruelty, so long as you get to keep them—which makes you a monster. Either way, it’s madness.

.

This madness is so deep-rooted and so useful that it is impossible to realize what would become of each of us if it were someday to disappear.

.

If I must die of fire, why not let me die of yours: knowing that you are the author of my doom will make it more endurable to me

.

His desire for loyalty was naive, he hadn’t understood that being loyal wasn’t so tidy, being loyal means being disloyal to everything else.

.

I have always loved you / Always dreaded you

You will betray me, as I have betrayed, / And I shall kiss the hand that does me wrong

.

Listen: the way I loved you / was like my palm over a flame.

.

If I have the destruction of something that I once loved to carry with me at all times, isn’t it like I still have a companion?

.

One can fall in love and still hate.

.

and I will kill thee, And love thee after.

Yet, other characters, namely Heathcliff, Catherine, and Lockwood, remain more actively at war with love in their adult lives. Some force, as inexorable as the wind sweeping over the moors, seems to have bent their lives into a pattern of frustration that their own struggle for relief only aggravates. Their need for love is expressed, not through loving, but through the anguish of loneliness. Paradoxically, though they do not know it, this loneliness is the one condition necessary for the fulfillment of their most profound fantasy concerning perfect love: a love, that is, perfectly protected against the threat of abandonment that in childhood these sufferers learned that love entails.

.

I feel you there, in every pore. Your silence clamors in my ears. You can nail up your mouth, cut your tongue out — but you can’t prevent your being there. Can you stop your thoughts? I hear them ticking away like a clock, tick-tock, tick-tock, and I’m certain you hear mine.

Odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris? nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.

I hate and I love. Why do I do this, perhaps you ask? I do not know, but I feel it happen and it is excruciating.

#These were just the ones I had more at hand. I have so many lines linking to this kind of dynamic #and overall the paradoxical yet logical bond between love and hatred or resentment #I think Cathy's and Heathclif.f's relationship has a lot of this but in general Wutherin.g Heigh.ts is full of these dynamics #(I adore what is going on with Isabella when we last see her in that regard. How true‚ the fact that these loves get messy) #Charles and Adam and even Cal and Aron from Eas.t of Ede.n too #I think there's much of this explored in certain arthuria.n texts #Overall it's something I adore. The blurring of lines when it comes to feelings and relationships #To me it feels way more human and way more... realistic #How things blur into each other and get messy and dark even at times and hard to define #I don't know... I really think the fandom as a whole is always paying too much attention to that line without reading the entire text #I also dislike the claims about Jack ever only loving her and doing it all for her ✨💕 I also think it simples a lot what it's happening #But it doesn't bother me nearly as much because I don't see it that often #I talk too much #I should probably delete this later #'too much attention to that line' I mean the one about hating her #Full of typos but I can't bother to change them I'm feeling very lazy #Tumblr never implemented the tag modification for the app. A pity

anyways while it wasnt the first loz game i ever played, a link between worlds was the first zelda game i finished and i distinctly remember that the whole reveal about ravio being lorule’s version of link flew the fuck over my head the first time i beat it. i dont even know when it clicked there’s a good chance i didn’t get it until i saw people online talking about it i think i just saw ravio take off his hood and was like ‘oh he looks kinda like link i guess’ and didn’t fully make the connection

#the only reason im certain i didnt get it right away was bc i just remember distinctly NOT realizing that ravio was lorule's link #i think the whole idea of ppl in lorule having mirrors in hyrule or smth simialr didn't click for me and man idk lol #loz #legend of zelda #a link between worlds #salty talks #a lot of zelda twists made me feel nothing tho tbh and not even bc i didnt like them i got spoiled for a lot of loz stuff #i think the only loz plot twist i can think of rn that makes me feel stuff is linebeck being ph's final boss but like. thats an outlier #although i remember i read the ph manga before i played the game and while i barely remembered much after i put it down (before game) #the whole bit with linebeck getting possessed stuck with me all the way up until i saw the game's version so uh. this is getting off topic #i love albw and ravio and that little last twist fell flat bc ig i didnt realize that ravio looked exactly like link for a reason???
