I’m sure people would appreciate the chemistry between Emma and Matt more… IF THEY COULD ACTUALLY FUXING SEE IT.

Definitely don't knock your device's accessibility options. I was looking through my phone's accessibility settings last night, and wow, it feels like technology has really advanced since I first got a smartphone.

I've even found a setting that raises certain sounds I apparently have trouble hearing, and it feels like I'm experiencing the music I love with a completely different perspective. It's honestly wild because my first smartphone had like... mono audio, and that was as close as you could get to accessibility

#disability #disability advice #like i'm not HoH as far as i know but i do have some differences with hearing #honestly my biggest issue is. i can barely differentiate where sound is coming from. i usually guess when i can't see a sound's origin lmao #which i don't think disables me but it is harder when i'm driving i've found #there have been a few times where i HEAR an ambulance but i have no clue where it's coming from. like none. #and like... you don't even have to be disabled to use those features on *your* device... #...it's just that for many disabled people they will be heavily invested in making their things accessible #so while i'm not unable to use my phone if that hearing booster wasn't in use it still enhances my experience 👍 #also live transcription???? that would NEVER have been an option with my first phone #i feel OLD (ish)

So there's an actual in game reason you can't get lynel weapons anymore??

So I was looking over the monster statues, just examining the design, when I notice something I'd seen but never really twigged:

Those are nuts and bolts. Huh. That's not natural, that's been added on. In fact, you can still see part of the original scratchy lynel horn from botw underneath, even if it has mutated a bit like all the other horned monsters.

See, lynels, with lizalfos in a lesser way, are the only enemies in the game with the intelligence and cunning to forge weapons. A lizal can only manage one boomerang, shield or bow with varying spikes and occasionally repurpose some hylian armour (and often loot anyway), but lynels are capable of creating their own unique metals and using it to completely outfit themselves. Armour, bows, shields, spears, clubs, and swords, complete with sheaths and harnesses and decoration!

But in totk the particularly pointy ones are missing, leaving only shields, armour, and bows. Their weapons were subject to the Decay as well, but instead of trying to use them anyway, what did they do? They broke down their own weapons and repurposed them as enhancements to their own horns! Extra defence and a new devastating attack!

But... For what reason? They could have kept using those weapons just fine, everyone else is! It probably would have been more practical to start attaching things to the end, like the goblins have all started doing (albeit with mixed results, they seem to inordinately favour mushrooms). Why would the most feared enemy in the game feel the need to put more points into defence and intimidation, even sometimes utilising the rock armour?

What would they be feeling the need to so strongly defend from, even to the point of sacrificing huge attack power over it?

...

Link. It's Link.

The 5 nothing hero of hyrule, who built a whole community of speed running, styling on, brutally murdering lynels almost exclusively again and again and again. Moldugas, hinox, talus, they haven't changed a bit! They weren't at the center of every flashy slow mo clip since the first game came out!

But lynels in totk are running scared, they're building bigger horns to look scarier and armour to hide in, because once they need to get their short range weapons out its already over, or maybe link will just stop farming them for top tear weapons XD.

Tldr: unlike other monsters, which have branched out to kidnapping, riding flying monsters and rolling big spiky balls, lynels have gone entirely the other direction in order to try and scare the hero off after the last round of stylish massacres, and attached their old decayed gear to their horns.

Tldr tldr: botw link is the reason you can't get lynel weapons in totk because he scared them too much.

#Sorry lynels! I'm still going to farm you for your loot! Congrats on swallowing your pride enough to use hylian weapons though lol #Don't think I've even seen a blue lynel outside the floating coliseum. Found one in akkala and immediately went hunting for silver pelts. #It's actually hilarious how much the loz community has affected totk. Like there's glitches they've made features there's pranks they pull #There's lots of little changes they've made to the world and physics engine. Sometimes it's funny #Like rehydrated ganon and the new extra revealing outfits. Sometimes it's how elemental effects now continue through the weapon spin. #Sometimes it's assuming lynels just have bigger horns like the rest until you look closer and realised they enhanced them to be Extra Tall #They've started trying to posture like cats that 'totally aren't scared what' because the loz community is utterly terrifying XD #loz #legend of zelda #tears of the kingdom #totk #loz totk #loz tears of the kingdom #tloz totk #tloz tears of the kingdom #totk lynel #lynel #botw lynel #botw #tloz #silver lynel #loz theory #long post #lmaooooooo

Ignore all logistical considerations of "would they ever meet each other under these circumstances". If you don't think Jules Bashir would have chosen to join Starfleet, imagine he is on the station for some other reason, or they meet in some other location.

I wanted to make this poll because I've seen various fics where Garak reassures Julian that far from being upset over him being augmented, Garak is grateful for it, either explicitly because (he thinks) they wouldn't be able to have their usual conversations if it weren't for the augmentations, or simply because he likes Julian "just the way he is" and wouldn't want him to be "different". I disagree that Garak would think like this (or at the very least, I think Julian would react negatively if he did, rather than be reassured), so I wanted to hear everyone else's thoughts.

#garashir #Star Trek: Deep Space 9 #this is not just a shipping question btw so please answer whether you view them platonically/romantically/whatever! #Julian Bashir #polls #Starky's original posts #I'll admit. to me there is a very clear right and wrong answer here. #again not in terms of Garak's characterization so much as in terms of JULIAN'S. #I would be fine if Garak said this and Julian felt at least somewhat conflicted about it but I've never seen even that........ #I've wanted to make this post for SO LONG but it's a very common thing in a lot of fics that I otherwise REALLY LIKE #from authors that I REALLY LOVE AND ADMIRE #and I have no idea if I'm just being completely insane and oversensitive OTL #but I just read yet another fic where Garak was like ''I have no choice but to be grateful you were genetically enhanced #because Jules would never have joined Starfleet so we never would have met.'' #and I just want to yell WHY DO YOU ALL ASSUME THAT #like not even getting into assuming that Jules would be permanently significantly intellectually disabled #based on limited information about his early childhood developmental delays #but more importantly assuming he wouldn't (read: couldn't. because I KNOW that's what you mean.) end up on the station #You! Star Trek fan! Do you think people with intellectual or learning disabilities are allowed in Starfleet? Answer quickly! :) #sorry I told you I've held onto this for too long. and now I'm a deranged bitch about it :|

sometimes interpreting media through a shipping lens enhances it, on occasion even beyond the author’s original intent, but sometimes, you do have to accept that your ship was not in the heads of anyone making the source material and trying to force it to fit into evidence of your ship will severely hinder your ability to discuss the actual text.

#and also ill hit you on the head with a brick #posts that. im not going to say theyre about destiel. im not going to say that. #and im not gojng to say it because. i dont need to. you already know <3 #and to be clear: its not the interpretation thats a problem here. thats the fun of shipping. its then taking what youve interpreted and then #trying to backread that onto the media itself as intentional. as intended. #dismissing the actual themes and story for evidence of a ship is the problem. u get me? #shipping brainrot is not ‘oh i think these characters would kiss for this reason’. #its ‘this show is and has always been about these characters kissing no matter how much i have to ignore about the show to make that true or #pretend is completely different than its actually presented or straight up make things up to make my ship be a part of the intended reading’ #thats the brainrot. the brainrot is when u step off the train of reality. #this is not true about the best piece of art ever made Captain America and the Winter Soldier. btw. that movie IS about bucky and steve #kissing alsjfdjskdjg #(<- okay im being silly here but id like to make a real point here too. the thing about TWS is that. it is genuinely enhanced by a romantic #reading. its not *better* than a platonic one. its just different. being able to see it through that lens does make a lot of the original #movie’s ideas even more complex. case in point like: steve struggling with his dating life. because what shared life experience does he have #with other people who look his age. and the movie is. about. someone who has his shared life experiences. and his mission to get bucky back. #you can see how that lens would be beneficial to the original movie rather than fighting it to prove the ship works in opposition to the #author’s original intent.)

There's something really funny about the fact that the team's strongest member is also their medic. Like, you'll have Daimen or something being like "I'm injured, where's our best medic" and Zorian just points at Zach who is mid combat with the most dangerous opponent on the battlefield.

#like what do you even DO in that situation #xvim: so youre telling me... our medic is the blood knight of the group who is always on the front lines? #zorian: yep :) #xvim: and you-? #zorian who hangs back sniping people with guns and mind magic: i don't know medical magic :) #zorian is PRIME medic. because he's hanging at the back anyway! and he can do two+ things at once with his mental enhancements #but he doesn't know any medical magic #and i think thats hilarious #mother of learning #zorian kazinski #zach noveda #secret archmage society #daimen kazinski #alanic zosk #xvim chao

#look. all im saying is that Sarevok effectively ruined Kaine’s life via forcing her from her home and promptly murdering her dad djdjdjjd #which is a lot fmdmdmdm and that’s not even mentioning all the other shit he did/forced her to deal with #anyways Kaine is pretty peaceful like. 99% time. the 1% is whenever she’s thinking about sarevok #closest to dear old Bhaal she’s ever been djdjdjjdjdjd #anyways all of this is to say that the game just kind of nudges you into the dlc which is fine #but I do absolutely believe she had a break down after killing sarevok #it’s the first time I think she really gets to sit down and breath and process that even though he’s dead #she effectively does not have a home to return to. and even if she does her dad won’t be there #e m o t i o n s s s s #doodle #sketch #oc #comic #Kaine #baldurs gate enhanced edition #bgee #Baldur’s gate #baldurs gate #jaheira #Khalid #rasaad #minsc and boo #neera #bg1 #bg1 spoilers

I think the most true thing I can tell u about ur late 20s is:

When I was about 3 years old, I had a babysitter, let's call her Anne. Anne used to say that if she ever had a baby of her own she was going to name her Lily. She was a babysitter because she'd always wanted kids of her own, but she couldn't have them. She turned 30, then 40, & it just never worked out for her.

I stopped going to her when I started school & I heard nothing about her for years. Except one day, my mother excitedly told me that Anne's dream finally came true! My old babysitter had a miracle baby!! The baby everyone thought she'd never have. A little baby girl named Lily, just like she dreamed. 🥰

& so anyway I bumped into Anne last Wednesday in a furniture shop and after confirming that yes this was the woman who took care of me as a toddler, she told me that her miracle baby is now a miracle 20 year old. She's a miracle second year college student!! hoping to one day be a miracle dentist!! Beloved Lily, ever dreamed of, is now another young adult who doesn't visit often enough, you know. but it is 5 hours on the train, so we won't go too hard on her for it.

#i made & deleted about 3 posts about turning 28. idk how i feel about it #a feeling which is enhanced by finding some things i wrote when i was 18 #i haven't changed THAT much. but i have done a lot in 10 years. #haven't RAISED A DENTIST tho #once upon a time you were a baby and some people were very very excited to hear you existed!! #and maybe you live 5 hours by train from those people now. and maybe that'e even the best cast scenario for u #but yeah. wild. #me fein

It’s been a hot minute since I watched any spn at all but I’m pretty sure Emily Swallow’s raw charm and screen presence quite literally saved Amara’s character from the depths of writing hell. Do you ever think about what this person was up against. Do you ever think about how bad some of Amara’s lines are. To say nothing at all of the Dean thing. And it’s just like.. how did Amara survive that? How did she become a Good Character not only in her initial season, but then also go on to become something of a fan favourite for just her minor role in s15? I’ll tell you. It’s because Emily got out there in front of the camera in spn s11, and she looked up from her script and said, I am going to say these lines but I am going to tilt my head and make my little faces and add just the right cadence to these words and I am going to create scenes of incredible palpable emotion and I will have her be so alien yet so human at once in faultless balance. I am going to make Amara Supernatural more endearing and sympathetic and dimensional than she could ever be on the page in my hands I will do this if it fucking kills me

#And I love her for it #Amara spn #Honestly s11 Amara reminded me of earlyish seasons Cas in such a charming way #Like I’m remembering that scene where she goes to the church and is talking to the priest all matter-of-fact #Idk I just found her really endearing. I think she also murders a bunch of people in that same episode but that’s ok that’s #an enhancement honestly. #My posts #As a disclaimer I am very much a proud card-carrying member of the Never Hated Amara Gang so I will always back her even in s11 #But if you are someone who didn’t like s11 Amara but enjoyed her in s15. Go back and watch her in s11 again #(If you can stomach rewatching any spn at all that is. Lord knows I cannot) #But go back and watch her and watch her more closely and the little things Ms Swallow adds to her even then. I think you’ll enjoy her more #Idk why I’m having an Amara moment but I am. Meri jaan <3

i want to start working on skeleton plushies for spooky time so bad but i got a stye and can´t wear my contacts so i can´t see well enough ):

#to be clear i have to wear my old glasses instead #which are so scrached up that everything looks foggy #because i can´t even read my phone with no eye enhancements #i need new glasses but when you´re this visually impaired you always end up paying ~300€ because the free lenses are the lowest quality #so they would be too thick to even put into frames #and like once you pay 200+ for lenses you´re not gonna pick a flimsy 20€ frame because those things gotta LAST

love that all the games im so so normal about i have to yell at ppl not to look up bc theyre all so easy to spoil

#outer wilds. zero escape. aitsf. ghost trick and twewy also #the only exception by virtue of being the opposite somehow is disco elysium like #before playing i heard so many spoilers frm friends and they were so incomprehensible it made no difference to my experience with the game #enhanced it even like damn that sure did happen and you werent making it up!

(Leo speaking to Hephaestus:)

Leo: I used to think I was creative. I used to think I was smart. I used to take pride in the things I invented. But it’s just you, isn’t it? Everything I’m good at, everything I like about myself, it’s just your powers I inherited. If I wasn’t your son, I wouldn’t be able to do any of this. I wouldn’t be good at anything.

Leo: I thought that I had earned this. That I had learned when my mom taught me about machines, that I had built my abilities myself. But it’s all just shortcuts and fakery. It’s just god magic. It’s not real. It’s not mine.

#like it’s one thing if your power is water attack or turn into bees or something inhuman #but I imagine a lot of demigods have crises like this one #with powers that enhance qualities they already had so they’ll never know who they would have been without a god making them ‘better’ #like if Annabeth’s power is her intellegence? she can’t even take credit for her own mind (by this logic) #for a non-charmspeaking Aphrodite kid with a less unnatural level of making people like them? #when you can’t tell what is and isn’t magical affects then how do you know anyone would ever like you for your normal non-goddy self? #what about Hypnos kids who wish they didn’t constantly feel tired and could manage to Do more with their lives? #like imagine your special magic godly enhancement is Cannot Stay Awake and it’s a struggle to complete even simple tasks. thanks I guess. #there’s probably examples I’m not thinking of #but powers that enhance rather than add??? it’s like there’s parts of your identity that don’t belong to you #at least that’s how I would feel about it probably #percy jackson #heroes of olympus #leo valdez #hoo leo #pjo hephaestus
