Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage - Forest of Thorns

#kingdom hearts 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage #kh0.2 #forest of thorns #enchanted dominion #realm of darkness #scenery #my gif #it's cool to see this world become more gnarled and dismal as you progress #vines constantly shoot out of the ground to block your path as if this forest is alive in some way #and the further you go the more darksides you encounter #you'll have to fight the ones standing in your way but there are so many more that are just lurking on the sidelines #they wont attack you even if you get close. instead they'll just stand by and watch you delve deeper into the forest #you can see their heads turn to follow your movement as you walk past them it's kind of spooky #can't help but wonder why so many are grouping up here it's really unusual #for the most part they seem peaceful but there are a few that lunge at you unexpectedly #very cool world i love wandering around here

even if i didnt love botw as much as i do, totk drives me nuts bc, similarly to pokemon, this series is so SO SO full of potential, they have so many games they can pull from, theres so many themes, characters and worldbuilding thats just left to rot, you dont need to connect anything with a chain to old titles, you dont need to bring back any things that already had their ending, but PLEASE harness at least a fraction of all this!!!! and they just refuse to do it beyond shallow references

totk jsut drives it all home to me, bc this isnt just the next game in the franchise, but a DIRECT SEQUEL no 10 years apart from botw, yet they cant even, they REFUSE to even keep the continuity with its OWN lore it established in botw together, and that, i think, is what truly makes me so insane (derogatory) about totk

it PROVES they do not care, they dont care to build on anything of the lore of old titles beyond references in form of amiibos or whatever, they dont even care to make a sequel to their most successful game in the franchise coherent with its own lore

botw established a captivating detailed world full of potential, while lacking in active storytelling, it had environmental storytelling, characters and ideas that were the perfect ground to build on-

and then they do away with it bc idk .. they want you to build mechs and make videos of it that go viral and thats all they care about or something

shiekah tech? forget that existed character being the character you know? act as if you are seeing them for the first time just like they are lame story? dont think about that just be distracted by the epic presentation of it lore the previous title established? forget that, all that matters is what is here and now beloved character from old games beign brought back? hes a new guy and has no background and no lore and just sits waiting for you at the end to have a flashy fight with references from old titles and their lore? just here for nostalgie bait, dont you remember? you LOVE this series, now give me 70 bucks for a glorified DLC that ruins what you loved about the series and makes you realize that nothign matters and nothing is interesting anymore

you are supposed to take it all at face value, to not think about anything, to see a character say something and just go with it, and forget it the second its over, be distracted by good music and pretty visuals, but dont think about, dont think about anything but what is directly said to you like you have no critical thinking skills, forget there was a game before this one, only the one you play matters, empty your skull and dont let yourself feel anything but what the game tells you to feel

if they dont even care to make the sequel to their most successful game actually build on the previous title, dont even care to keep their continuity of two games supposedly directly happening one after the other in tact- maybe they never cared, and all the meaning we thought we saw them build into their games was all accidental and meaningless

and that is absolutely soul crushing for fans like me to discover

its a game. its not a story, its not a world, its not themes, its not characters, its not lore. its a product made to make you pay money, not to make you think about anything.

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #ganondoodles rants #i know it sounds silly to say this game makes me mad bc its so clearly a game #but do you get what i mean?? #and the worst part is #they dont even keep the lore said in the SAME GAME in line #the people in hateno where links HOUSE used to be that is now ZELDAS not remembering him #the children acting like they dont know him #where has link been? #did zelda put him into the forest and just let him live with the boars? #even so the house is here so link must have been here to buy it- #but no forget that #its somethign that happened in botw and that never actually happened or mattered remember? #to have balloons and rocktes and people with WINGS in this world but none of them going up to the sky islands everyone is obsessed about`? #well its for YOU to play around with with meaningless rewards not for the NPCs living in this world #the godly goat guy and the hylian priestress directly saying zelda is their distant descendant to her and then #not show nor say not even hint at them having any offspring and then both die a stupid meaningless death to try and make you feel something #“doing the dragon transformation robs you of your soul forever and you will never return” #*returns via deus ex machina without even letting the player take any part in it but by -getting to the end tm-* #also i HATE how totk constantly dangles set ups in front of you #only to NOT follow up on them #the intro giving you a taste of what you might expect for- NOPE zelda is gone immediately its jsut botw but worse again lol #zelda getting the hang of her time powers so she might return to her time on her ow- NOPE dragon lol her powers are irrelevant actually #impa being the only one you can tell about zelda being a dragon and her going oh no im gonna search for a way to bring her back- LOL NOPE #its solves itself and you dont even do anything for it and just watch a cutscene #oh no link lost his arm and its beyond repair- LOL NOPE have your arm back like it was freshly made no matter how few of the light things- #you actually got- the things that where supposedly to battle back the thing destroying your arm #also howt he game gives you endless busy work without any good reward #krogs - mayoi signa - poes - scematics - lightroots - sign guy

I desperately wanna beat branch’s brothers over the head with a whiffle ball bat for leaving him behind

In their defense, they were kids at the time too. And none of them really planned on staying away for long (except maybe Spruce but he had his own reasons to stay at Vacay Island). As far as they saw it, they left him safely with his grandma at the Troll Tree in their beautiful Happy Troll Forest

How were they supposed to know strange creatures would start eating trolls and imprison the ones they "spared"?

#i should clarify that the Bergens werent around at the begining for this au #bergens are something the bros never considered because they didnt even know what a bergen is #bergens came in sometime after they all left #they thought the forest was safe and branch would be okay #obviously they ended up being wrong but they didnt realize that was gonna happen #trolls band together #dreamworks trolls #trolls 3 #trolls world tour #trolls au #trolls 2 #trolls #hypno pop au #brozone

My contributor coy of Into The Tower arrived today and it is SO GORGEOUS. Honestly I have never seen a game book that is so deep and intricate and full of complex, intertangled and emotionally devastating stories. It's an incredible piece of work and @haridraws is an actual wizard.

you can pre-order it now - it comes out in just a couple of weeks! pre-order links and more info on hari's website: www.hari-illustration.com/into-the-tower

#other people's art #artists on tumblr #ttrpg #game books #narrative games #seriously my first playthrough I cried multiple times #books that make you feel like a tiny invertebrate crawling across the floor of a vast and ancient forest #able to comprehend just a fraction of the impossibly vibrant world around you #also you can make freinds with a woodlouse

A Federation starship seems like a terrible place for a bath

#so many red alerts #so much random turbulence and space anomalies #everyone slamming around the bridge and corridors #if they call a red alert and you’re in the bath #then you come back post red alert and your quarters are flooded #is there some sci-fi world building that I’m missing about how their quarters stay clean and how their plumbing works #federation impracticality #sonic showers make sense in terms of practicality #I don’t know how well the science works out on the sonic showers though that one is a mystery #like their ear health??? #sonic shower thoughts #yeah build your romantical forest tub #it makes sense on a planet #it also makes sense on a space station like ds9 much more stable #but a tub of water flying through space seems unwise given the track history #they’re on voyager they’re on the enterprise #this is me projecting isn’t it cause I cannot take baths #memeish

i’m very sorry, but you guys have got to properly label your ao3 fics because “bad parents jack and maddie fenton” is starting to really get on my nerves.

and if, in the middle of the fic, you decide to add a tag like that: PLEASE communicate that you’ve done so in the chapter notes. because i don’t recheck the tags after i’ve bookmarked something.

please. i don’t think it’s that big of an ask.

#did we watch the same show ??? #this is the woman that carried danny on her back across the forest #the ones that went around town blaring announcements of ‘cutest sweetest boy in the world’ when he went missing #the people that accepted him without question not once #not TWICE #but THREE TIMES. #and if it was the odd fic here and there i wouldnt be frustrated #but suddenly its ALL OF THEM. #PLEASE TAG YOUR FICS PROPERLY. #danny phantom #power to you and your artistic vision i guess but im begging over here. #im getting old im 22 i cant take these surprises anymore #its not even bad anymore its just abusive #and more than half the time it has nothing to do with the plot. it’s just a device to get danny somewhere or make him sad #im sorry im getting mad again i’ll stop #tag your fics end of story

What if i put david midas set and engel in hollowridge. Thonking about it.

They're ocs made for violence so I could totally do it. And Even david w his wings would fit in as one of the physically altered people like beial which i also need more of in the setting

And they'd all be on richards side for sure so i can have fun fights (and ideologically they fit)

#thunderclap #midas would still be a fungal bastard too. his body could literally be someone from the old world even #adam and engel as werewolves too bc dragonfang and maul are sister weapons. set would be harder to implement into HR but he's a wolf too #which would put all my wolf guys in the same story and also in the snowy forest where they belong #sprry i keep moving around my characters between settings like theyre chess pieces im tired of it too </3

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage - The World Within

#kingdom hearts 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage #kh0.2 #the world within #dwarf woodlands #realm of darkness #scenery #my gif #this world is interesting because it's so different from the rest #the sky looks like some sort of dome with triangular screens that project a broken glitchy sky #almost as if it takes place in some kind of data simulation #which i don't think is the case but it adds to the feeling of aqua's experiences here not feeling ''real'' #i mean this place hardly even resembles what the original world is supposed to look like #like it changed to match aqua's psyche. forcing her to look at her own reflection and confront her own fears; doubts; guilt; and sadness #actually now that i think about it this feels extremely fitting for this world #it's like when snow white was running through the forest and was so afraid that it made the trees around her look alive and dangerous #except aqua has to wander this broken world and face her dark thoughts that take shape by looking exactly like her #she's constantly running in and out of mirrors into rooms that make no logical sense like the endless staircase and the pillar maze #there are ghostly echoes spoken in her own voice that mock her by saying no one can save her and no one wants to. it's chilling #i can't even say for sure if the phantom aquas are actually physically there or if it's all in her head #similar to how she'd see visions of terra and ven #she's such a tragic character

#when i am gone it will be no more impactful than a tree falling in a forest with no one to hear it. #my death will have a meaninglessly small impact on this world. maybe it'll have a larger impact on the incorporeal. #there is something in my soul. something hungry. a serpent of unstoppable magnitude held captive in my stomach. #it wont stop until it or i kill us both will it? like a cancer. #im so deeply sorry im so bad at responding to everyone's kind messages. even more so sorry for what will eventually happen next #i have some plans. to excise this tumor that is myself. to rid the world of this putrid filth girl who is nothing but a drain on her compan #we'll see what happens. at least i got my body to a point of self approval before. at least i tried music. at least i tried to be me. #even if it changed nothing. at least im more secure in my being. if only the people around me werent so emotionally far. if only we cld tal #if only i could live with my self approval instead of loving and wanting so dearly. instead of having a mind corrupted by love #and friendship #i was so much. i know you all barely know anything about me in reality. if i asked any you'd probably just list off kinks and species. #but still. ty those who'll remember yk... #and as backup. if it doesnt work. well. please dont hate me. im just a girl who needs out. and cant keep her thoughts inside more #i hope i can be happy in the afterlife. i hope i can see these angels and maybe be one myself. #gonna put a post on top of this to hide it from brand new ppl lookjng at my blog. bc yeah. you all dont need to hear all of this #its the last one of these for this period either way #god i wish i couldve gone to toronto. i want to so bad still. god. why did i have to realize my hopelessness now of all times #bye

people fawning over the environmentalist themes in tolkien’s work has always made me deeply uneasy but I could never articulate why, and reading orientalism is clarifying a lot of that for me lol

#Said lays it out very clearly like #‘negative’ representations of the orient. as in representing them as deficient or lacking in some way #rests on ‘positive’ representations of the occident. as in the west is always ‘doing’ is always the thing driving human momentum #so idyllic representations of a pastoral post-labour society surrounded by fields and old world forests #populated by guys who have ample free time and fuck around all day #(& who are all white. at least in the films) #that’s not an uncomplicatedly good way to present the world #and is a perspective that is deeply informed by being beneficiaries of continued colonial extraction domination and exploitation #i meam the fictional world is literally called the centre of the earth lol #anyway not ‘cancelling’ tolkien or whatever I’m just glad to be able to understand why exactly #I think it’s bad to just uncritically praise his love of the environment as this like pure ideal #that is somehow uncorrupted by the historical and political context he came from #*post-scarcity I should say not necessarily post-labour #but like the labour processes that make that life idyllic in the first place are invisible

my favourite thing about me and writing is that ill churn out this crazy snippet of a prompt at like the dead of night, show people, and then never finish it ever again and move onto the next prompt that ill inevitably lay to waste because god forbid i actually finish something

#that being said im forcing myself to finish yet another zelink prompt #im making them go foraging around the forest by hateno #and have late afternoon talks of what to do next where zelda’s place in this world is anymore #talks of finally being able to be normal people #between botw totk btw #something warm something cosy something soft #zelda ‘i don’t know what to do in a world that’s moved on from me’ hyrule #link ‘we have each other. that’s something’ hyrule #someone hold me accountable for it i beg

blasted my way through @doe-prince's comic, @goldenshrikecomic, for the second time and it inspired me to make an AU version of an old TEF character for that universe!

Kezrael is a lone buck who has been separated from his herd. He is a Northerner, and his mane of fur is iridescent. His Halv is an Arctic Tern!

#oh and sorry everyone who followed me for rain world #im very bad at posting to multiple social media #golden shrike #gs #deer #the endless forest #should i even use the TEF tag #oh well i'll leave it #ratt your comic is so awe inspiring #wish i had been around in TEFs heyday #but hey i can at least draw some deer

starting to think maybe waking up with an anxiety stomachache every single morning and then needing to spend the entire day trying to get rid of said anxiety just to maybe have a few minutes in the evening of feeling relaxed before going to bed is perhaps not normal

#the first thing i do when i become conscious is check my phone to make sure nothing terrible happened to anyone i love while i slept #i never ever ever have plans and if anyone Else has plans i feel sick with anxiety until they’re back from them #if i have smth planned that week i feel completely tense and on edge until it happens #i didn’t used to be like this i hate hate hate it #i used to feel safe in my little house in the forest where i knew everyone in town and knew my way around with my eyes shut #it’s still the only place in the world i feel safe. that’s so unfair #my separation anxiety is ridiculous. if my mom goes to the store and doesn’t answer a text right away i start panicking #if my sister goes to a class or smth idk what to do with myself until she gets back #if i’m in the shower or have the fan on or headphones in suddenly i’ll think i hear someone shouting and i’ll have to quickly turn it off #ever since i moved here it’s been getting worse. i don’t feel safe here to begin with i feel so out of place it’s unreal #but then covid and trauma with my mother’s health and my uncle dying and multiple relatives getting sick and things happening to my friends #i know i have ptsd from very specific things that happened and i live on a hospital path so every day i hear sirens #and every time i do it fully triggers an anxiety attack in me for at least an hour. and my mom too #since being here my hometown burned and friends i thought would never grow apart did and my brother moved out #i know a lot of that is just Being In Your Low Twenties but also some of my worst trauma has happened in the last handful of years and now #now i’m just always scared. always uneasy. always worried. never fully relaxed. never feel fully safe. & idk how to be myself through that #i’m always paranoid and i never trust people irl anymore. ppl my mom or sister meet. i am so suspicious of them constantly. #if anything small changes at all i can’t handle it. my ability to deal with change has gone so downhill #in the last 5 years of being here i realised i was autistic which led to me unmasking a bit and that. comes with pros & cons doesn’t it #my own health has declined. my body changed a lot in ways i wasn’t prepared for and i had to get rid of most of my comfort clothes #sometimes i just wanna sit on the ground and cry about it and not have to also be the one that picks myself back up. y’know??? #but at the very least i’d love to just wake up One Day w/o feeling sick with anxiety already. just one day i want to wake up feeling rested #i want to be myself again but can i start with not being scared? not being tired? i don’t know what to do anymore #i just watch my comfort videos and read my comfort fics and stay in my daydream world
