Arrows and Braids

Rating: G

Word count: 1872

Genre: Mostly fluff, with very mild hurt/comfort

Story summary: When Katara gives Aang a haircut, they both remember what they had given up. Missing scene oneshot.

————–

Aang was staring at a pair of scissors in his hand when Katara walked over.

“What are you doing with Sokka’s scissors?” she asked.

He hefted the shears, the blades of fine Fire Nation steel a respectable weight in his hand. They had also been expensive. Fortunately, the wealth of coins from Toph’s scams had more than covered the cost. But every time Sokka pulled out the shears to trim his wolf tail, Katara never failed to slide in a jab about how they wouldn’t need to ration their food so much if he had gotten the cheaper scissors instead.

“My hair is growing out, and it’s making my ears itch.” He scratched the top of his ear. Talking about his ears somehow made them even more itchy. “My forehead, too. And the back of my neck.” He scratched at each spot in turn. “Everywhere, really.”

“If you want, I can cut your hair for you,” Katara said.

Without Water

Written for Kataang Week 2022 @kataang-week for Day 6: Quiet Moments/Healing Techniques

Rating: T for descriptions of physical injury (but nothing too graphic)

Genre: Hurt/comfort, Kataangst

Story summary: Katara struggles to heal Aang after he is struck down by lightning. Five times she can never seem to do enough, and one time she discovers she is everything he needs. Or, the story of how the ordeal of healing Aang almost breaks Katara before she learns how to hope again.

————–

The first thing Katara did when she set foot on her father’s ship was to look for water.

“Make sure you always have water on hand,” Yagoda had once instructed her. “For without water, a healer’s bending is useless.”

She had given up Aang to her brother’s care when Appa landed them at Chameleon Bay. She didn’t want to leave him, not when he was in such a vulnerable state. But she had to leave him if she wanted to save him.

Katara found the barrels of drinking water, half of them already drained dry. The man in blue-dyed furs who was stationed by the barrels—to guard the water, no doubt—glowered when her eyes widened at the sight of liquid glistening between the barrel rims and lids. But before he could utter a word, she had siphoned the water into a bucket and dashed away.

Drinking water had to be rationed until the next rain, and Katara had taken more than her fair share.

Everyone can stand to be a little thirsty, she thought as she ran. Aang needs this water more than any of us do.

Close to You

Rating: G

Word count: 1703

Genre: Fluff with a side of hurt/comfort

Story summary: Katara seeks out Aang when she has trouble sleeping. Missing scene oneshot, set after The Runaway (S3 E07).

————–

Aang was no Toph, but he felt Katara walking over before he saw her.

He could hardly see her, anyway. Their campfire had burned out, and the moonless night had cast the land into near-total darkness. Only the faint glow from the stars provided any light to see by. Even then, he could only make out vague shadows and silhouettes.

So he relied on his feet. Lying with his soles flat against a bristly carpet of grass, he listened for vibrations in the earth. Everyone had their own pattern of movement. He could feel Toph tossing in her sleep and Sokka snoring—well, that part he could hear, too. But the vibrations that he recognized without a doubt and listened to the most belonged to Katara.

She came to a halt several armlengths away, clutching a bundle under her arm. “Hey, Aang? Are you still awake?”

“I’m still awake,” he said, sitting up. “What’s up?”

“I can’t sleep. Do you mind if I…talk to you for a bit?”

In The Sun

Rating: G

Word count: 1724

Genre: Pure Fluff

Story summary: When Aang convinces Katara to dry off in the sun after waterbending practice, a tickle fight ensues. Missing scene oneshot. 

————–

Katara launched several balls of ice into the air, and Aang neatly shot down each one with bursts of water from his own hands. He beamed a satisfied smile as the last ball splashed back into the pond.

“That was some great work, Aang. Why don’t we call it a day,” Katara said. She climbed out of the pond, water dripping from her bare arms and legs, and sat down on the grass.

Aang joined her as she wrung the water out of her thick mane of hair. She lifted her hands to bend away the remaining moisture when he closed his hand around her wrist.

“Wait. I have an idea,” he said when she gave him a questioning look. “Why don’t we dry off in the sun?”

Drag You Down

Rating: G

Genre: Drama, romance, angst

Chapter: 1 of 16?

Story summary: After breaking up, Aang and Katara go their separate ways. But when unexpected events throw them back together, they have a hard time moving on—even if moving on is what’s best for themselves, and for each other. 

First line of this chapter inspired by @kataang-prompts

————–

“I wish I had never followed you out to the balcony that day,” Katara said.

Aang stopped breathing. His chest constricted, her words like shards of ice piercing his heart.

He knew this day was coming. He didn’t want to believe it, but he knew.

They stood on the docks of Hai Bian, the main port city to the east of Ba Sing Se. The southbound ship that Katara was about to board creaked as it rose and fell with the gentle waves of the bay. She was looking down at her hands, twisting her fingers together, a nervous habit of hers. A brisk autumn breeze blew the braided loops of hair into her face, and she brushed them to the side just as she had done so many times before. She caught her lower lip in her teeth in that way she did when she was trying not to cry.

“I wish we had been friends from the beginning. Nothing more.”

This is dope and also a good reminder that opinions from folks on the internet, however loud, are generally not reflective of how the general audience is receiving a show/movie (so showrunners should stop focusing so much on trying to impress Reddit specifically!)

[vaguely-concerned]

I have seen people question whether dios apate minor really needed to happen the way it did. it's the 'this could have been an email' of htn. 'augustine this did not have to be a threesome', I hear people saying. and boy do I have an obnoxious amount of things to say to protest this perfectly sensible assertion so here we go haha

1) yes it absolutely had to be like that. It says so on this piece of paper *hands you a piece of paper that says "because I said so and also it's narratively and thematically Sexy"* in my half-legible handwriting. seeing tamsyn muir describe harrow the ninth as a book about being a kid and realizing your parents probably had sex has given me such validation, I am unstoppable now. (to be serious for a moment, harrow the ninth is essentially a bildungsroman, and the threesome scene does a whole lot of thematic heavy lifting around harrow glimpsing elements of adulthood, relationships, and sexuality she clearly finds at the same time repulsive, bewildering and fascinating, and around opening her and especially our eyes to how much john is just a man with human longings still, under the god stuff. dios apate is crucial plot- and character-wise too -- it's a loadbearing threesome in terms of delivering the clues you need to piece together the mystery plot of the book, which is simply delightful -- but even more so thematically. and then the scene at the end where they confront john gives gideon some of that same opportunity to peek into adulthood and go '...well shit I guess', as a sort of mirror, just without the french kissing that time and more murder. the things magnus and abigail model for the girls about love and adulthood? mercy and augustine are providing the opposite-day batshit insane version of that fhdskjfa, you know, for contrast and spice)

2) listen... it gets lonely out there in deep space with your 'legendary unamorous' brother, two infant pathetic baby kitten sisters who you'll probably have to kill one day when you take another stab at god if they don't manage to get themselves killed along the way on their own, and the two people you've spent the last ten thousand years having separate yet connected married & divorced arcs with and also btw one of them is god... honestly a threesome over the dinner table is probably The most well-adjusted reaction one might hope for under those circumstances

3) on a characterization level I think Augustine is actually doing something incredibly deliberate with it: he's presenting John with yet another chance to admit what he did. which is notable especially since the deal he and mercy agree on as a condition for the threesome to happen at all seems to be that they're going to give the ol' godslaying another game try sooner rather than later. (I get the sense that it's not so much that he disagrees with her ultimate goal so much as that he thinks she's being dangerously indiscreet and hasty going about it, before. “though I think it will be the death of us,” huh.)

notice how he's structuring the whole thing: he's invoking the intimacy and love in their strange little threeway relationship and how long it's been by truly playing along with john's 'we're a happy family really when we're at home! :)' delusion (helped along by lowered inhibitions via enormous amounts of alcohol and what I've previously described as a joint mercy/augustine leyendecker themed thirst trap. ah, a classic). he brings up alecto and what happened to her -- or rather, he is clever enough to make john bring up alecto and how she is totally dead, right?? by seeming to make a careless statement that leads there and then acting contrite about it after. he (helped along by mercy, who I think realizes exactly what he's doing -- this is very much a two-man con) brings up how much they all loved their cavaliers, and wow funny how that's been haunting us for ten thousand years now huh :) wow, a lot of our other lyctor friends slash family sure are super dead in the name of some unknowable greater reason neither of us quite grasp and that you won't fucking tell us, aren't they. these are all the main grievances he and mercy confront john about at the end of the book, but put forth much more subtly and not phrased as an accusation -- he's baring his and mercy's vulnerabilities as bait, essentially. if john had, say, a conscience where his conscience should be instead of a black hole, it probably should have stirred something in him.

(also let me just say... the way augustine just takes a pneumatic drill to the TWO tender spots g1deon seems to have and then has the audacity to be like 'oh dear. did that upset him. ooof my bad *loooong dead-eyed slurp of his wine*' is just sooo... he's such a bitch!!! he's the only person who could ever have held their own in a ten-thousand-year bitch-off with mercy and I love him so much. well even if it wasn't all to get g1deon into murder range for harrow I think he wouldn't enjoy sticking around for the 'getting our tongues on god' part of the evening so maybe it's a kindness, really, and totally not pent-up aggression from the last twenty years or so breaking through)

he is all but shaking john by the lapels begging him to just... come clean about it already, to stop thinking he's still kidding everyone else along with himself. it's clear throughout the book that augustine knows exactly what john is at this point -- and all of the most cynical things he does say about it turn out to be distressingly right. john is always less sentimental than you'd think. john wouldn't forgive mercy, he will abandon in a heartbeat anything that isn’t necessary to him anymore, whether emotionally or in some other way. and still he seems to hold out some desperate absurd hope that the man he wants, the man he thought was there, is in there, somewhere deep deep down, if he just gives him the chance to show himself.

(mercy definitely has her own side of this whole thing, I'm just focusing more on augustine because this evening was like. his idea in the first place and I feel like we can Read Some Things into that fact lol. now that we have both ntn and htn to go from I sort of have this sense that the things augustine wants from john are more... personal? more interpersonal? they both love him equally, but mercy's love seems tinged slightly more towards the religious (augustine accuses her of knowing 'only worship without adoration', which like... also the eight house's entire Vibe lol) -- mercy at the end of that book is totally a person breaking up with GOD, not just with john -- while augustine's vibe is more like a man in the last not-with-a-bang-but-a-whimper days of a marriage that sort of felt like it could have been something real and good once but all your illusions about it have since been taken from you and trampled underfoot into the mud and you've had the divorce papers signed and ready in a drawer for over a year now, hell, as it turns out, is other people etc. lmao)

having a threesome over the dinner table with god is one thing, having a threesome over the dinner table centered on the one man and god who has yet again let you down in a way so fundamental it can barely fit into words and who you both still love in a way anyway, miserably, and also just reaffirmed your joint resolution to murder (all under the pretense that it gives your baby sisters the chance to murder your brother of ten thousand years yeah that's why this is happening no other underlying aching emotional motivations here haha)... listen mercy and augustine are simply on a different level, theologically. they've added horny shrimp colours to the religious spectrum. who else does it like them

needed to do a little refresh on gnomes/tomtar in pareidolia cuz i decided. There will be ptarmigans. more info about the different factions mentioned in the second image below..

as mentioned, tomte society is usually quite decentralised and local, spending the most time together in small groups within major dispersal groups during certain times of the year, with no centralised leadership. their gatherings during winter almost resemble family reunions in a way. however, there are two more "centralised" gnome factions which work together year-round - the mountain front and the midlands front. these are relatively "new" factions which only arose when major territorial disputes began between trolls and gnomes after gnomes started collaborating with humans to a noticeable degree a few hundred years ago.

the two fronts organise to fight against the trolls and try to take territory and defend their own from them. as trolls and gnomes used to share territories and collaborate in the past, their current conflict is partly driven by tales of "betrayal" carried down through the generations in tales, on both sides. another part of it is the increasing industrialisation, and with cities growing and the human wood industry homogenising forests causing old territories to become less hospitable, many gnomes, especially the gnomes of the mountain front, are driven to try to retake old historical territory of theirs in the mountains. both fronts are driven by a council, usually elected based on their strategic prowess and leadership skills.

none of y’all ever talked enough about how fucking insane the choice of famous blue raincoat by leonard cohen was for connor’s karaoke song

#like…. #it fits in that moment bc its ab a ‘love triangle’ and losing the woman you love and connor’s depressed ab willa #but the song itself is constantly invoking cain & abel #and is so fucking crazy considering the last episode…… #‘what can i tell you my brother my killer / what can i possibly say / i guess that i miss you i guess i forgive you / i’m glad that you #stood in my way’ #banging my head against the wall thinking about trio reunion down the line and this symbolically being kendall addressing roman (my brother) #& shiv (my killer) #it’s a hopeful yet depressing interp lol. like the song is emotionally devastating but that specific verse is just so…. man #‘i’m glad that you stood in my way’…. #i don’t think kendall would ever say that or even acknowledge it to himself but. on some level. it isn’t wrong #also meaningful from a rome perspective too — ken telling rome that it was never gonna bd him that he doesn’t even want it #which is true . but roman can’t admit that #god. why has no one fuckinh talked about how insaaaane it was to have connor sing this in ep2!!!!!!! #succession #leonard cohen #100

[iamnmbr3]

harry definitely not heterosexual potter is the funniest thing to me because i literally cannot remember a single time in the book where he thinks “i should probably be nervous about draco trying to kill me because i am literally convinced that he is willingly working with voldemort.” no. he was like “oh draco? yeah he is definitely working for voldemort and he is so evil because did you see the way he is combing his hair now? probably switched shampoo. he would never change conditioner, that thing works wonders. what do you mean, this is common knowledge. anyway, he is so evil and definitely working for voldy. but of course he won’t kill me, are you crazy? who would he talk to across the great hall? like literally you don’t even understand.” and everyone just WENT WITH IT.

Hahahahaha I KNOW! Would he feel this safe around literally any other person who he suspected of being in league with Voldemort? I think tf not!

Even once Draco has Harry incapacitated and totally at his mercy on the train Harry at no point thinks that he's in danger. Even after Draco breaks his nose he doesn't think it. After that incident Harry still is all 'can't wait to break into the Room of Requirement BY MYSELF while Draco is in there so I can see what secret evil mission he's working on for Voldemort' and at no point does he worry that going in without backup could end badly. And HE'S RIGHT. When Draco has Harry at his mercy he never seriously harms him and risks everything multiple times in book 7 to protect him. This is NOT Harry seeing Draco with rose tinted glasses. This is Harry deeply and intimately understanding that Draco will not hurt him and feeling comfortable around him on an instinctual level despite every reason he has not to.

And let's not forget why Harry finally stops investigating Draco in 6th year. It's not because he decides he's wrong about his whole "Draco is a Death Eater on a mission from Voldemort" theory nor is it because he gets worried that since Draco is a Death Eater on a mission from Voldemort looking into this could get Harry or his friends hurt. No. He stops because his investigation leads to Draco getting hurt. And Harry is so horrified by this that he completely backs off and gives up trying to stop the super secret evil mission from Voldemort that Harry is sure Draco is on. Harry is like 'foiling an evil plot masterminded by Voldemort himself isn't worth it if it could lead to me hurting Draco.' He really said 'I can excuse putting myself in mortal danger on a regular basis to stop Voldemort's plots but I draw the line at Draco being upset.' In canon.

And yeah Harry cares about people in general but not to this extent. When Umbridge gets carried off by centaurs Harry doesn't even think of going after her. He's just like 'lmao bye bitch.' He straight up KILLS Quirrell in first year and when he finds out he's like 'well that sucks for him.' Tons of Death Eaters get hurt and maimed at the Department of Mysteries and Harry never even stops to check if they're ok. In second year he forces Lockhart to enter the Chamber of Secrets first in case there's a Basilisk waiting at the bottom of the chute.

But anytime he sees Draco in danger he does whatever he can to help without even thinking about it. From the time in first year in the Forbidden Forest when he immediately throws his arm out to stop Draco walking towards Voldemort to 7th year when he risks his own life and that of his friends to pull him out of the fiendfyre and reveals his presence while running through the battle so he can stun a Death Eater threatening Draco. And he does it automatically, without a second thought because Harry can't fathom a world where he wouldn't protect Draco.

#this ask made me lol so much. it's so. SO true. #(I'm now imagining Harry being like Doug from Up going “Squirrel!” but about Draco every time he sees him. Oh wait. That's canon.) #Shoutout to the time Harry sees Draco forced to torture Rowle and is horrified because of how upset and scared Draco is #and doesn't even think about Rowle at all. #Can you imagine him telling Rona and Hermione about it like 'it was horrible'. #'Yeah I guess even though Rowle is a Death Eater he didn't deserve-' #Rowle? Who cares about him? He was just getting tortured. The point is Draco felt bad about it.' #Also. Nose breaking is pretty minor given that 1) in the magical world mundane injuries can be easily fixed and #2) Draco is a literal Death Eater. #And later Draco risks everything to save Harry's life at the Manor. #He also alerts Harry to his presence in the Room of Requirement #tries to stop Crabbe & Goyle from killing or hurting him #and doesn't call Voldemort or tell anyone he's seen Harry. #asks #Draco Malfoy #Harry Potter #drarry #drarry in canon #hpdm #h/d #harco #harry x draco #harry/draco #drarry meta #drarry g

i remember seeing someone call tubbo a fully grown adult at 19 (obvs before he turned 20) and i gotta say. i think maybe some people have a really skewed idea of what constitutes as "fully grown". and also what constitutes as properly mature. thinking that at 18/19 (or hell even at 20/21) people are now fully grown and mature is insane to me like yall thats how you get people thinking their life is over at like 23 and that 30 year olds are senior citizens 😭😭 be fr

#this is a problem no matter where you look but i think a lot of ppl in the mcyt fandom esp seem to think once youre- #-considered an adult at all that it automatically means youre fully grown and mature and thats just nooottt really true for most ppl #which i think can lead people down to sort of dangerous paths especially because 'adult' is often defined by age of consent #and theres also some slight cultural differences like even just between the us and the uk where due to 18yr olds being able to drink in- #-the uk (and other places) i think it genuinely causes some dissonance #where i see often in the us that when youre 18/19 youre still treated (id say rightfully) as being rather young and not Truly a grown adult #hence. yk. the term Young Adult #but i think in places where the drinking age is younger it starts causing people to see younger people as more mature #which is also why a lot of predators like to push for the age of consent to be at a younger age like 15 or 16 #and why many lolicons try to point at japans age of consent (which for the record is complicated and not as simple as just 'age of consent- #-is 13') as a defense for how they act #because these sorts of milestones (having sex and drinking) are seen as marks of a true adult. which gets into a whole lot of other #complicated things #and often dangerous things and ways of thinking #ANYWAYS . basically 18/19 isnt fully grown 20 is also hardly fully grown itself #and theres ways to combat people infantilizing tubbo and other creators his age without acting like hes actually #fully grown and mature lol. i promise you humans are not fully grown at 20 years old are you kidding me 😭😭😭😭 #if youre in your 20s you still have a lot of time and space to grow i promise. do not fall for the idea that your life is done by like 23 #idk. im only 18 myself but it just feels insane to me that if i were a creator people would be calling me a fully grown adult #not that im not an adult but i dont think im mature enough to be seen as fully grown and i guess itssss. sad? #to see other people my age think that turning 18 means youre fully grown. just really not true #theres a lot of 30 year olds who still see early 20yr olds as being practically babies we have Not made it to full maturity yet i prommy #mask mews

I really like Young Royals. And I mean, obviously, I'm here lol but I REALLY like how it makes me feel. I like that a gif or picture can make me go feral because I'm flooded instantly by the same feelings and emotions I got when I first watched the show.

I don't remember feeling this way about anything else before and I feel grateful this show exists and I had the opportunity to find it (even if it was late AF lmao)!!

#Young Royals #And it's not even strong emotions about wilmon only. I mean obviously they're my babies and seeing them together it's my favourite thing #But even my hate towards August it's still strong and if I see his face I want to punch him lmao #It's only been a month to me that's true but with any other show or movie I would be normal by now lmao #But with Young Royals? With wilmon? With Simon and Wille as separate characters? I think normal is not even an option #I really feel the same I did when I finished season 1 perhaps more unhinged even because a month ago I was trying to hold back #Now my unhingedness has been unleashed #Not even sorry #Team unhinged but happy #about me i guess lol

Before Hazbin get greenlight by A24. Any thoughts?

100% not surprised Huskerdust is planned to be canon lol. Anyway, I know nothing is set in stone since this was just a pitch episode Bible before it got picked up, but I think it’s safe to say these pitches give us a good idea on what the show will be like. Despite Viv claiming the show would be story focused (what did I tell you, she’d get it backwards lol) these pitches are clearly more filler + character focused, so more of a character driven show with no overarching narrative. Seems like mainly Viv was going for a “wacky hijinks ensue” vibe for Hazbin, cause none of this gives me story driven, I wouldn’t be surprised if her vision for the structure was similar to Always Sunny in Philadelphia, since she loves that show and stated that the OG version of Hazbin was like it. It also seems that she’s doing the same thing she did with Helluva, where there’s a serialized A plot and a filler B plot, which….whoo boy that makes me scared, knowing how she writes this stuff in Helluva, we’ll see how that goes. 😬

It’s a nitpick but it also bothers me on how not ONE of these episodes actually have to do with redeeming a sinner…ya know, the main plot for the show? However I do know that normally the first seasons of a show tend to relax and be filler + character focused before it dives into the serialized stuff. Still, you could have gotten so many unique and funny scenarios with the idea of various sinners coming to the hotel.

It’s also clear that some of these episode concepts moved to Helluva lol, as well as the episode where Charlie has a meeting with the Deadly sins definitely won’t happen since Viv confirmed that they won’t appear in HH and only HB. There’s also an obvious cutoff, I’m assuming the “Issues” were the planned comics Viv had in mind before she scrapped them all entirely. However wouldn’t be surprised if the comic ideas went into the show too. Aside from that there’s nothing really wrong with this pitch, only giant thing noticeable is that it’s clearly more character/filler driven. No matter what the story is, I just hope Viv actually planned this shit out this time, instead of merely having loose concepts in her head and writing as she goes lol.

#but yeah for now Hazbin seems to be character driven with wacky hijinks #I guess part of me shouldn’t be upset by that cause she sure as hell sucks at writing a serialized story #still it’s weird how she always talked about Hazbin being story/plot driven with a narrative and then we see this lol #it’s literally Always Sunny and I’m not surprised #also episodes that actually focus on Charlie and Vaggie? please be true #vivziepop critical #spindlehorse critical #hazbin hotel critical #Hazbin critical #reply #ask

POST MORE SWORD OF FATE PLS IM BEGGING

i have very little in terms of actual art LMAO but i CAN explain the sword thing because i checked and i did in fact never make this plot point public. i struggled for a while with creating a villain for this story until i realized that. i put "sword" in the title of the game. of course it has to be about the fucking sword. DUH.

so i want SOF to deal very heavily with religion, specifically the way in which hyrule's religion forms post-sksw but pre-reincarnation. i've placed it on the timeline directly after sksw, making it the first actual reincarnation in hyrule. what this means is that there's no actual proof yet that the reincarnation thing is real and not just an insane bluff on demise's part, and so several key characters including link and zelda barely believe in hylia or demise at all when the story starts. my thought with this setting's version of ganon is that he's the polar opposite of the nonbelievers. The gerudo don't really exist as of now, but he DOES come from the desert region of hyrule--specifically, he was raised in a cultlike offshoot of the sheikah religion which interpreted the hylia/demise myth completely literally and believes that a doomsday is coming, heralded by the foretold return of demise. Because of this, he knows more about the cycle and how to set it in motion than basically any other character. Crucially, he and his people are some of the only ones at this point aware of the existence of the master sword.

ganon finds. a sword. a sword which he THINKS is the master sword. and this theory is only reinforced when the sword begins to speak to him about his destiny and the salvation of hyrule. unfortunately it is not the master sword and he ends up basically a pawn in the greater plans of what's left of demise & ghirahim within that sword, manipulated into attempting to revive demise and destroy the reincarnated hero and princess. he remains in denial until basically the very end of the final battle, completely convinced that he is the true savior of hyrule and LINK is the one being misled. ghirahim is a very good manipulator lol

#i know that the sword like dies with demise in sksw or whatever but this is my game and i can do whatever i want so ive decided it survives #because i need a plot device. ok. work with me here #asks #loz: sword of fate #anyway the religion thing is something that i really wanted to explore bc it fascinates me. bc obv in later cycles everyone believes #because they KNOW its true and have like. historical evidence of it. but what about the first few times it happened? post-sksw they had no #way of knowing if demise would make good on his promise or not. i can see belief vs nonbelief being a very strong dividing factor among #early hylians. its fascinating to me. lol #anyways zelda specifically fully believes that the hylia shit was made up by her great great grandparents or whatever as a power grab lmao #link is kinda like whatever. sure the goddess exists i guess ill pray to her sometimes but like did she actually found hyrule? probably not #and ganon and his people are HARDCORE believers. like to-the-letter. because of this they have one of the most historically accurate #accounts of hyrule's founding (which no one BELIEVES is accurate at this point. but it is) and have managed to hold onto records of both #the master sword and demise when society at large has basically either forgotten or decided to ignore them #wow. i forgot how fun sof is to write about. holy shit

ohhhhhhhhh “sea of thy soul” = personal unconscious, “sea of souls” = collective unconscious. hey guys did you know that persona is kinda jungian

#this is maybe a very obvious statement but a lot of persona makes a lot more sense when you start learning abt jungian psychology #i say learning but i just mean mr edogawa’s tv classroom for the most part lol #it is very informative though #and it’s incredibly interesting to hear about The Themes Of The Game from the game’s mouth #i’m not certain why i thought this but prior to actually playing the game myself i thought p4 was really ‘true self’-y #like that it implied that there was an immutable ‘true self’ and that personas and/or shadows WERE that #but it very much doesn’t. like at every turn #i guess i took ‘i am a shadow; the true self’ at face value… #rambles #p4g posting #rather than an immutable singular truth; ‘true self’ seems to be the knowledge of oneself. like the shadow and persona and shit #more as in the concepts than the guys. as well like personal growth a la slinks #like. holistically. the shadow and persona are but fractions of the self #the shadow what’s repressed and the persona how you face the world. neither are the entirety of nor separate from the self #that’s how i’ve come to understand it anyway #i’ll probably have some more solid thoughts once i see all the tv classrooms and finish the game
