AY YOO IVE GOT MY STUPIDEST ZELDA THEORY EVER
OK SO THE SWCRET STONED
These fruit gummy fuckers everyone agrees Lonk would eat on sight
I THINK THEY TURN PEOPLE INTO FURRY GODS- I MEAN ZONAI
So let’s look at the hair, those godly locks
AWWWW YEAH
HE A GHOST AND GOAT DADDYS STILL GOT IT
But there’s two other not originally Zonai peeps with secret stones who need a special barber
But Ganondarfr didn’t have long hair before he got jelly and stole Sonia’s fruit gummy
SO WITH THE PICS OF SONIC AND GARFUNKEL THE FRUIT GUMMIES GAVE THEM LONG HAIR
And there’s another Zonai God Gal for reference the one the only MINERUUUUU
And the thing about my bestie Minnie is she’s got short hair which seems like a plot hole in my theory
But if you look at Minnieerus hair from the back it shows just as much volume and potential to be long enough to weigh her ears down so my theory is my girl just chops her hair like every day so she looks cool with her short hair and floaty scarf thingy
Btw heres my favourite pic of Zeldie with her adoptive lumps of hair
But what does that mean for Sonia?? Girl changed species???
Well looking at the other Hylians of the era it isn’t just a time difference between her and Zeldao
Here’s some of her Hylian besties and guess what their hair doesn’t reach to their ankles
Even in the murals Soniar stands out with way different features from the normal Hylians
SO I THINK GOAT DADDY I MEAN RUAUR GIFTED HER A STONE SO THEY COULD BE TWINSIES AND HER HAIR STARTED GROWING AND THEY WERE LIKE OMG WE MATCH!!!!!
Anyways that’s the hair Zonais got long hair and Soniie babe and Goofandoofle both got long hair not native to their species that they didn’t have before the fruit gummy evolution
SO SAUNA AND GANONDORK GREW LUSCIOUS LOCKS TO THE FLOOR WHEN THEY STARTED WEARING WELCHS FRUIT SNACKS
But we can’t just assume the stones turn people into Zonais on just hair alone!!!!!!!
SO LOOK AT SOME EARSSS
It’s a pretty distinct thing for goat gods I mean Zonai to have pretty long hearing flesh sticks
Once again looking at the pics and murals from before Sonnia’s Hylians of the time don’t have those long features- they do have a bit longer ears than our Zelda but Sonar’s still different my babe got a stone and her ears were growing and she was like huh cool
AND MY QUEEN (LIKE SHES AN ACTUAL QUEEN OK LIKE ROYALTY SHES MY QUEEEEEN) SONNA GOT LONGER HEAD ACCESSORIES I MEAN EARS TOO WHEN SHE GOT THAT STONE
BUT WAIT !
GABONDARFLE didn’t get longer ears!!!
(But with ears he also had different ears to begin with ewww round)
But all his features from the edible rock are also different than Sortias
WHY IS THAT?’!
Well you know what I think
I think the little transformation crap depended on how they used the power
Sonia didn’t really use it much, at least not enough to transform her in seconds like Demon Ding did
BUT WE SEE GANNONDORFLE TRANSFORM IN LIKE TWO SECONDS WITH HIS RED SKY AND ANGRY GROANING
GRRUUUUUUGHHHH
So I think my dude got different transformation features because he poured all his power at once and grew it like crazy instead of being a normal god furrie
BUT THEN WE GOT THE TEETH
They didn’t know they were gonna need a new dentist when they got stoned but they do they really do like look at those fangs
The Original Zonai tm got goat teeth but then so did Ganonfqorf when he did the Demon Ding dingy
BUT THEN GUESS WHAT THEY ALSO GOT?!
HORNS!!!!!
When Gonandorcl turned himself into a whatthehell he got himself some horns
And most everyone’s like oh he just got some horns because he’s like a demon king thing now
BUT GUESS WHO ALSO HAS HORNS?!??!
AWWWWWW YEAREAASHHHHHH
RARFU GOT HORNS TOOOOOOOOO HE AND GANONSFORE ARE TWINSIIESSS
But then we got their nails
DAMN GIRL! MINIIERROOO FOR THE WIN with her purple nails, once you’re a goat god, a Zonai, a Zoat if you will you never have to get a nail job again just look at those CLAWS
And again my queen Soneyoe (MY QUEEEEEEEN) doesn’t have those dumb features like horns and teeth and nails cause she didn’t feel like screaming like she was in labor to squeeze all the juicy power from her fruit gummy
BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR MY GIRL ZELDA SHES GOT A SECRET STONE TOO IS SHE GONNA BECOME A ZOAT I MEAN ZONAI
Well I think she’ll be fine cause she doesn’t know her strength enough to go bonkers fucking wonkers and go full out ape god mode (same for all the sages from past and present)
But I know you fan artists and writers and comicers (love y’all you’re great Ok) have been doing some shit about Lonk turning into Zonai when he got that arm well this is your invitation to have Zeldo get her BOTW hair back and maybe some bigger ears or something idk
SO THATS MY DUMBEST ZELDA THEORY TO DATE THOSE SERCET STONES TURN PEOPLE INTO THE ZONAI LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

So how was stormblood? I know it's very hit or miss for people, so what're your thoughts?
I understand why it’s hit or miss! It — to get to the point i would be straight up lying if I said I was an unbiased consumer because I’m not, I’m a coastal American mid 20s rando with a Lot of very current cultural baggage around concepts like patriotism and freedom. And Hamilton references. It all has a sweet and strong and very anti-occupation message (along with themes I very much enjoy dissecting like the constant assertion that it Doesn’t Have To Be This Way, or the expansion into You may not understand this person but you must be able to accept them,) but when combined with Stormblood’s shakier coherence in writing and dialogue and pacing, it comes off as A Bit Off. to me. And I think it missed ever so slightly just due to how it was all structured and set up with the characters we have and motivations we have because the stuff OUTSIDE or Adjacent to the main story, despite how out of place it could feel, was structured great!! Like the Kojin and the Ananta trial and the Kugane mishaps and trying to murder Zenos twice and the ghost ship. Could the main structure have come across very well yes absolutely! It does it on and off it succeeds in there often! But sometimes it doesn’t. I can see a lot of where concepts were promised and not fully delivered, pacing was a bit off, things just happened without really belonging there (despite how much I loved Susano, he could have been better structured. same with many instances and also I feel like the unethical science should have been MORE IMPORTANT THAN IT — maybe it comes back. Who is that scientist.), sometimes dialogue felt somewhat canned. I feel like in a consequences-heavy expansion, many things just didn’t have important consequences, which was very strange
HOWEVER! I cannot give the new gameplay features abd dungeons any crap they are all SO GOOD. And so PRETTYYYYY. And there were so many solo duties that ruled! Every dungeon in this expansion was like whoa this is a PLACE im in you know what I mean??? I’m in a place that’s big and there’s people and there’s NEW MECHANICS and active time maneuvers (??!!!!!!!) and unique fights! I can jump on the roofs in Kugane! And, mind you, when the dialogue was good, it was good. Lyse has a fantastic voice actor. Alisaie is my favorite girl elf creature in thw world. Estinien is like the best p- the guy ever. also m’naago is my new friend. The tower was a great part of sb to me despite my singular gripe. I think Zenos’— I know it’s controversial to some people because he does assume your wol to be a bit more murderous than some people would prefer their characters be and doesn’t take no for an answer, but his um speech did something to my brain a little bit
ON that note the ending was very fast?????? Or like — not FAST, but I wasn’t expecting Zenos or Shinryu to go down in one fight. Two co-op fights, right next to each other. I kind of wanted to beat him up myself. And when Zenos was so impossible to beat before. I was expecting both of them to be WAY harder. Though Shinryu is a COOL fight I’d do the royal menagerie again in a second. I was kind of expecting a three stage trial? Like Nidhogg? I love going into space hiiii big dragon where were you this whole time… u were shafted… but u could not be suffered to live so. Maybe if we’d gotten an instance of fighting the dragon alone after beating the trial?? Could have been Themes. I don’t know
anyways no I can’t quite pin it down, but I’ve said it before I think they had the outline for the story and then built it and went oh this is too much and not enough at the same time and got stuck writing the whole thing after getting stuck in the story they already had. A COMMENDABLE job for getting turned around like that, way better than a lot of video games stories out there, good gameplay and areas that didn’t feel too empty. glances at coerthas falcons nest area. I think the ways they did the exploration thing was good, having us venture further into occupied territory etc, but so much exploration stuff felt oneoff and not there to do much for someone who has been skipping almost all of the side content except stuff I’ve been told is good. It almost felt like they were Trying New Stuff a lot, and some of it succeeded some of it failed. Such is trying stuff!! Such is trying to imitate what you had while making something new and exciting! And I can’t fault them for that
so like — putting aside the fact that I haven’t done post-sb which is like missing 40% of the Thing according to past expansions and my thoughts very well might change, i would 100% do the fights again, maybe watch some cutscenes, but I don’t think I’d NG+ this one. where is that lady selling buuz it is a CRIME i did not get to have any buuz let me buy one yoshi p

If this isn't weird or anything, how did coming to find out you identified as a xenogender go for you? I guess, in other words, how did you know? What's it mean for you? (Oh god I really hope this doesn't sound like a bad faith question LOL)
This doesn’t sound bad faith at all, it’s kind of u to ask!!
So if I’m being honest, I don’t have a STRONG connection to xenogender stuff really? It’s kind of passive and cozy to think of myself being like, catgender and stuff bc my identity is a bit silly :P
For a while I’d see stuff about neopronouns and xenogender flags and my first thought was “This is kind of dumb” which is a little rude LOL, but a common first impression I think. As most things like this go, my own insecurities about being seen as cringeworthy reflected onto how other people were expressing themselves. I do have a lot of deep rooted insecurities about my place in the LGBT community (even though I’ve identified as nonbinary and pansexual for a good while), so seeing people on the internet using animal/object related pronouns made my brain go “Okay well I may be an embarrassing snowflake on the internet, but not like THAT though!”
Little did I know 😔
Honestly my mind kind of flipped when i found an artist I really looked up to had neopronouns in their bio, completely casually. I thought this was kind of punk rock, u know? And it made me think about myself and how fun it’d be to have my own silly pronouns and to play with gender identity in a fun way, because why not?
I don’t rly expect people to use my neopronouns (pika/star/chao/mewself hehehe) because I understand grammatically they can be a bit awkward to use, but the principle of them is just so fun to me!
Obviously in most situations irl I accept that I’m gonna be seen as a girl, and I don’t mind being a girl! Being called she is nice. When people close to me acknowledge my nonbinary identity and refer to me as they, that’s rad! And on the internet where people mostly see me as a cartoon creature through my icons and drawings, why not say my gender is Pikachu?
Basically what it means to me is that if gender is a construct that can be changed, why not get a little silly with it 😹 Mostly I hope that my openness to express myself in embarrassing ways encourages other ppl to do the same. Most things that are fun are also kind of embarrassing
