About hints and patterns

Throughout the history of GGDD, we have noticed that they sometimes act as messenger birds for each other - one hints at some event, and then it happens to other. This is a direct hint.

But there is another type of hints - when the event that one of them hints at has already happened before, but we don’t know about it yet and don't understand this hint. But then the other person tells us about this event, and only then does it become clear to us that the hint has already been made. If we don't consider this a coincidence, then we will have to admit that such information could have been known to another person only through personal communication, because it was not publicly known about it.

I want to recall a few examples of such cases, they occurred over a not very long period of time - less than a year.

All this is fake, CPN and empty thoughts. Clownery. 🤡

DD's “Water show” — GG's vlog

On July 10, 2023, the event was held in Beijing dedicated to the premiere of One and only. DD participated in it, he danced and splashed water on the audience. While dansing DD made a couple of gestures that the turtles paid attention to - the “figure eight” and the famous “chongya” gesture. Everyone, of course, remembered the meaning of these gestures and was glad that DD made them. But then it turned out that he did them for a reason.

On July 11, GG’s vlog was released, and suddenly both of these gestures appeared in this vlog. Can this be considered two coincidences that occurred within 24 hours?

No one, of course, knew in advance what would be in GG’s vlog, the vlog was filmed a long time ago, but it turns out that DD knew this the day before the vlog was released.

Leica

October 3, 2023 DD, while in Paris, shows off his Leica camera. The turtles remembered that once upon a time GG also had Leica, and assumed that DD probably received the gift from GG.

But the next time a shocking surprise awaits us - at midnight from October 4 to 5, the congratulation to GG appears on his birthday and GG's photos with Leica, and even the camera model is similar. GG’s photos were taken back in the summer, and DD told us that “GG will appear with Leica tomorrow.” In this case, the version of coincidence seems quite weak.

"Do everything for your love"

On November 8, 2023, a new DD endorsement (YaYa) was released. A post appears on the brand’s Weibo account, the text of which contains words spoken about DD: “他为热爱全力以赴” (“he does everything for love”).

On November 9, NARS live stream with GG is released, at the end of which GG gives the wish speech, including saying: “希望大家为自己热爱全力以赴” (“I hope everyone will do everything for their love”).

As you can see, he uses the same phrase almost verbatim. It is not known what of this happened first - the stream was recorded or the advertising text was agreed upon, but if this accordance was intentional, then it was possible to find out the details only through personal communication. It could be a coincidence, but after a few months the following happens:

GG's vlog - Anta advertising

On March 1, 2024, XZS posts Milan vlog, where the viewer is offered the concept of a circle and round objects, the idea of the cycle of life or another interpretation. The image of the moon also runs throughout the vlog.

On March 2, the advertisement for Anta is released, in the video we see a suspiciously similar concept - a round basketball that flashes throughout the entire video and (suddenly!) turns into the moon above building, and the drawing of a lace that resembles the stylized name “border” in GG's vlog. There are even sunset. Even the text for the post uses the same words 边界 (“border”) - 去探索，多元未知的边界 "Go explore diverse and unknown borders” (full video is here).

I don't know what the brand had in mind, unless consider it pure coincidence, but they certainly couldn't make an ad copying GG's vlog concept overnight! Of course, it was known about the “border” and the stylization of the name since the GG's October vlog, but a circle, a setting sun, a ball that turns into the moon? Next day. How?

The Coin

And now, this coin. Five days passed between GG's vlog and the release of Chang Feng Po Lang trailer, but the consistent appearance of the coin that is the "protagonist" of the vlog and the coin that DD rubs his cheek with in the trailer is amazing. If you pay attention, even the sizes of these coins are the same.

I don’t think that the image of the coin in the vlog was subordinated only to the idea of hinting at the imminent release of the series with DD, probably the idea is much deeper, but what do we know about GG’s creative thinking and about his ability to convey a message very subtly?

All this could be considered coincidences if this didn't happen so often and according to the same pattern: event - hint – explanation. I’m sure I haven’t listed everything and there is more, this is just what I noticed.

Perhaps this is one of the things that keeps us firmly in this "rabbit hole" - their connection, which sometimes manifests itself in unexpected ways, their ingenuity to show this connection. I would compare them to the ocean, which always seems to remain the same, but which you never get tired of looking at.

💚❤️.

Criminal Minds masterlist can be found here!

You weren't actually sure what started your current conversation, but you knew it had something to do with the little wooden box you and Spencer were digging through.

"Do you remember this?" he chuckled, holding up a napkin with random X's and O's scribbled across it.

You smiled as you inspected the paper, the red ink inspiring a flood of memories to rain down in your head. "Our first date. That cute little deli in downtown D.C."

"Mhm," he answered, "Nothing like a good game of tic-tac-toe while you're waiting for your food." He continued sifting through the various items in the box, his eyes lighting up as he showed you what appeared to be an entry ticket. "Oh! Look at this!"

"The midnight premiere of The Force Awakens! Gosh, you were so cute in your Jedi cloak."

He chuckled, though his eyes darted away from yours. "Yeah, that was a pretty great night. Well, until security almost kicked us out of the theater for having 'weapons' on us."

Your hand met his jaw, your thumb lifting his face with a single touch. His eyes found yours again, only this time those honey brown eyes pooled with tears. The corners of his mouth were turned downward. It looked as though his whole face was falling.

Your thumb traced soft lines over the stubble on his chin, and it wasn't until then that you noticed just how tired Spencer looked. Too tired to shave, too tired to hold himself up, too tired to speak.

"What's wrong?" you pressed anyway. Your heart ached, like a bullet shot straight through it, as you started to ask, "Have I-"

His bottom lip trembled as he shook his head. "Believe me, you couldn't do anything this bad in a million years."

"Anything this bad?" A thousand thoughts raced through your head as you attempted to determine what bad thing he was talking about.

The tears welling in his eyes finally slipped and once again he parted from your gaze. "What if one day," he said, voice cracking, "these mementos are all I'll have to go by?"

You moved to sit beside him, pulling him into you. Your fingers swept through his hair, and the familiar scent of his cologne floated around you, a protective bubble, a shield keeping any harm away from you and him.

The room stayed silent as you waited for Spencer to continue. He felt helpless, weak, small inside your embrace, but with one kiss on his forehead, you reminded him that it was okay, that he was okay. And with one caress of the cheek, he was reminded that you were his safe place. The only place he was absolutely sure he could fall apart, because he knew you'd be there to pick up his broken pieces.

He swallowed hard, leaning further into you. Neither of you were sure where he started and you ended. "I'm scared. I'm so scared," he confessed, his tone quiet.

Your hand moved from his cheek to his back, lightly pressing your fingertips against the skin where his shirt rode up. "Why are you scared?" you asked simply, meeting him with an equally soft voice.

"What if I-" he said through broken sobs, unable to finish his sentence. "Mom's dementia-" He pulled away, digging the heels of his hands into his eyes. "God, I probably sound so stupid."

You grabbed his wrists, dragging his palms away from his face. He'd pressed so hard, you could already see indentations, and you weren't so sure the plum-colored circles under his eyes wouldn't be three times as purple the next morning. "You don't sound stupid," you reassured him. "I can't imagine how scary that is."

"But what's even scarier is that you think I won't be there for you through it."

Spencer shook with silent sobs, his chest heaving as he attempted to catch his breath. He was a snotty, crying mess of man, and you wished there was some way you could take his pain as your own. He tried to get words out, but all he could manage was his throat getting caught on every syllable.

You leaned your forehead against his, and for a second, you felt like the world wasn't imploding. Like maybe things would turn out okay. But as soon as you met those golden brown eyes again, your heart shattered all over again.

"Spencer, I'm not gonna let that happen," you said, your voice thick with the tears you were on the verge of shedding. "Okay? We'll get through this."

"She's gonna be gone in a couple years, Y/N. What if I'm next?" By this point, he couldn't even hold his eyes open anymore.

"Then I will enjoy every moment I have with you, down to the last millisecond."

"I don't want this to ever be all I have of us. I want memories. I want inside jokes. I want you."

The two of you held each other until you'd both cried out every last tear in your body, your cheeks soaked and shirts dampened in the aftermath.

You felt weak, but he felt weaker, and somehow, that was the reminder you needed—two broken souls, meant to be broken together. But in your brokenness, you fit like panes of a stained glass window. You were pieces of a puzzle, who were nothing on their own, but came together and made a complete picture. It was where you both belonged: together.

"Spencer?" your broken voice shattered the layer of silence that had taken over the room.

He angled his head, heavy eyes meeting yours with a glimmer of hope. "Yeah?" he said, his voice wobbly, his bottom lip trembling.

"As long as my lungs are pumping oxygen, I will never leave you behind."

Your eyes fell back to the box, and you managed a teary smile as you spotted a sliver of slate-gray string you hadn't thought about in years. You tugged the box closer, happy tears mixing with sad ones as you pulled out the friendship bracelet you'd made for Spencer probably a half decade ago. "I can't believe you still have this."

"You remember what you said about being left behind?" he asked, taking the bracelet from you and slipping it onto his wrist. "I used to wear this every day to remind me that I had someone who thought so highly of me that they wouldn't leave me behind."

You curled into his side, your hand ghosting over his stomach as you pulled him impossibly closer. Maybe you couldn't prevent dementia, maybe you couldn't stop him from losing his memories, but you had this box, and you had each other. And somehow, that was okay. Because it meant you'd always have someone to pull you along beside them, not leave you in life's rearview mirror.

I almost always seem to have the minority opinion on media. And I'm really sick of it now.

I've been on a Fire Emblem kick again lately. But unfortunately, as much as I love all of the Fire Emblem games on 3DS? That's approximately how much I hate Fire Emblem: Three Houses on Switch. ....which is, of course, the most popular/successful game in the series to date.

Okay, look: In Fire Emblem, I really like the strategy-combat stuff and the storylines + support conversations. THAT'S the tasty meat. Anything else? Is irritating busywork to me. So if I spend between 2/3-3/4 of a supposed Fire Emblem game doing the other shit? You've crafted a great recipe to make me feel like I'm MOSTLY doing stuff I hate, and thusly I shall hate your game. And that's the START of the issue with Three Houses. (I must resist getting into the protagonist being a mute cipher OR how multiple side activities require blind luck or a guide to succeed OR bitching about the weak battle map design... oh shit oh SHIT I'M OUTING MYSELF, RUN FOR IT MARTY!)

By comparison, this year's Fire Emblem Engage feels like a step back in the right direction! I'm playing it a lot right now, and I'm mostly having a good time! Still more busywork than I want in these games, but it's at least back on the side of "more good than bad." So of course, if I look this game up and read any fan reviews or watch any videos... they're all about how disapppointing and sucky it is in comparison.

God. Of COURSE they are.

I really don't know why the advances they made with Fire Emblem Echoes haven't carried into the newer games. 3D dungeons you can explore for items and enemy encounters in a Persona-like fashion? Genius! Make it the template going forward! ..... What's that? Not even most fans bothered to buy or play that game??? So no one fucking cares about that feature?

.........fucking hell. Of COURSE they don't.

See, this is how it always goes for me. If I fall in love with a movie, I'll later learn it's either hated or ignored by its own fandom or by the masses at large. If I get emotionally invested in some weird game and its characters? There's a high probability that almost no one played it. And those who did? They didn't like it as much as me. If I think a game is really annoying and full of boring shit? Great reviews, huge fandom, etc.

I could make an utterly wild fucking list of things I like/love that other people hate. And the same is true in reverse. Sometimes, even when I agree with the hate on something, I don't agree with ANY of the reasons for WHY other people hate it!

Before you ask: It doesn't matter whether I know the "majority opinion" in advance of seeing/experiencing something, or I have no clue wht people think of something until I look it up later. I've gone to many midnight premieres of movies that weren't yet screened for critics, and I typically always wind up on the wrong side of the majority. I've played obscure games just because the premise sounded good, fallen in love with them, gone looking for a fandom... and found out that everybody thinks said game is utter shit.

So I'm not just being contrarian; this shit comes NATURALLY.

However, I should make some caveats about this weirdness clear:

Sometimes I feel like I'm on the wrong side of JUST the outspoken part of the audience... but there's evidence to support that my own stance maybe ISN'T so weird. For example: My family and I have always loved 2009's Avatar. We never were dressing up like the goddamn Na'vi or anything so fanatical, but we've rewatched it many times over the years. We regularly quote it to each other around the house. And the massive success of that movie (and its recent sequel) seems to back up that this admiration/enjoyment isn't THAT crazy or esoteric, RIGHT? It's just that the Internet is extremely outspoken about Avatar supposedly being lame and totally unmemorable. Remember how people in 2022 kept being like "You can't remember even three character names from that movie! Nobody quotes it!" and shit like that? I was one of the people going "I will list you NINE characters and spew DOZENS of quotes at you."

My "minority opinion" thing only stretches so far. It's not like I thought The Room was the best movie I'd ever seen or angrily felt Tears of the Kingdom was the worst game I ever played. That would be beyond "minority" and more "MADNESS." There's a limit to this weirdness; it has to be within a certain degree of reason, you know? Some things just aren't POSSIBLE to totally flip the script on. Birdemic will always be embarrassingly terrible, and I refuse to believe anyone would legitimately feel otherwise. OK?

This isn't completely universal, either. There are always exceptions where I actually wind up on the right side of the majority. They're just... rarer than the other thing, honestly.

It gets exhausting to always feel like I'm on the defensive or at worst, utterly alone in how I think among the larger community. I don't want this anymore.

But I don't get a say, clearly. I'm just going to keep doing this. I'm going to go see a movie on opening weekend and think "Wow, what an awful piece of shit" only to find that DECADES LATER, people still cite it as one of the best movies in its genre. I'm going to adore a modern revival of a classic comic book, then I'll go online and find that it's widely considered an abomination before god. This is who I am. It's just REALLY tiring to be here.

" we're going to be taking a lie detector test today. you will be hooked up to the machine, and we will ask you a series of questions - whether you tell the truth or lie is up to you, but the test wil be able to snitch out any lies."

" the efficacy of polygraph machines is debatable and they can be defeated by countermeasures. i understand that this is for fun, though. let's begin. "

" and your favourite film genre ? "

" i don't often get the time for movie going. action films are interesting, i suppose. those spy movies, the mission impossible ones. they're silly but hold my attention just enough. "

" let's see - what is one thing you wouldn't be found without ? "

" my phone and a portable charger. it's vital for me to be constantly accessible. you won't believe the amount of times i have gotten calls from clients past midnight talking about an emergency. "

" keeping it light, what's your drink of choice ? "

" scotch. great drink to celebrate a win with. "

" which of the following have you attended, and would you attend ? "

bold what's been attended, italicize what would attend / attend again.

the ballet. the met gala. the horse track. the race track. a yacht party. the opera. the orchestra. a broadway show. a shakespeare production. a concert. a comedian. an ( american ) football game. a soccer / football game. a documentary film. a film premiere. a polo game. art museum. wine tastings. nyc sightseeing tour. celebrity sightseeing tours. haunted tours. charity galas. fashion shows. fashion week. disneyworld / disneyland. a basketball game. a hockey game. a baseball game. a boxing match. a cricket match. the golf course. the olympics.

" oooh, we're jumping into something a bit heavier now. what is the one thing you want to achieve in life ? "

" i've accomplished a lot in my life. i'm name partner, i have clients that most firms can't even dream of. what else is left ? "

" ... "

a long, suffering sigh. " a holiday with my children. it's difficult to arrange such when they're grown up. "

" who knows what the fates have in store. how do you feel about reputation.com ? it's all anyone seems to be talking about lately. "

" are you familiar with libel ? i don't anticipate they will be up for very long, especially with the people they have been mentioning, codenames or not. regardless, i have seen and heard much worse. "

" everyone is entitled to their own opinion, i guess. what's the weirdest / craziest headline you've read about yourself there ? "

" an absurd accusation that i was going to lose against some lawyer whose name i can't even remember on a case that i took years ago when i was just starting out in the firm. first time i had a headline. certainly won't be the last. "

" what's something you are currently working on ? "

" legally, i am not allowed to say. no amount of pointed staring will make me give you a response that you will be satisfied with. "

" i'll look forward to it. one last official question - and it's an easier one. cats or dogs ? "

" i'm partial to small dogs, though i don't have the time for a pet. "

" personally, i'm a dog fan anyday. anything else you'd like to add ? "

" this was a very riveting experience. thank you. "

" well, thank you so much for joining us today - can't wait to have you back with us soon."

Since when do you like THG/TBOSAS? Tell me your fandom story 😊

Have you read or watched all the books/movies?

Thank you.

@curiousnonny

Okay so I answered a similar version of this question last year here so I just copied my answer over and put it under a cut because it's LonG but it's still the story!

Okay, I have been waiting to do this justice. But here I go.

I was one of those fans back in the day. I think I started reading the books in 2009/early 2010s. THG and CF were out, and I was literally counting down the days with my mom and aunt to Mockingjay being released. I was 12 at the time, in 7th grade. I got into the series at the age of the youngest tributes, at the age of Rue and Prim. My mom and my aunt recommended it to me, and I remember falling in love. District 12 was my hometown. An old coal down surrounded by the woods, I remember just identifying so much with that. I was little. Me and my mom got Mockingjay the day it released and I read it within a day. I was hooked.

I counted down to the movie. I remember every announcement. All the fan casts, the fan versions of Katniss' song. The buildup as to oh who's going to be Katniss! Who's going to be Peeta! What does Cinna's eye makeup look like. The clothes, I could NOT wait to see the clothes. The girl on fire dress. All of that. I remember finding out while sitting in my aunt's bedroom about it being Jennifer Lawrence. I remember the fan casts of Dianna Aaron as Madge Undersee (RIP). I can literally remember the feelings of cast releases. I bought every merch item that came out. I had a blanket, I had district 2 nail polish that looked like cement, I had the girl on fire 12 nail polish. I remember learning how to do the braid and it becoming my personality for an entire year. I publicly counted down to this movie release. My grandma made me a custom Team Peeta shirt that I rhinestoned for the premier. My best friend and I went to the movie at midnight with my Grandma. We went to them all, and she and I will be going to the newest one this November. I was 14, turning 15, and insufferable.

The Hunger Games defined me. I thought I was Katniss. I did that braid. My baby sister was 4 years younger than me. When CF released in theaters, I was the age of Katniss and she was Prim's age from the OG movie. That relationship of love between sisters is the most relatable part of the entire franchise. To this day, my sister reminds me of Prim. She is sweet and gentle and smart and innocent. And I would do anything Katniss did to protect her sister.

I got very into Clove for reasons unknown. Maybe because Isabelle Fuhrman and I were the same age. Maybe because I remember clove in the books being described as dark hair and dark eyes with freckles. thats what I sort of looked like back then. I'm 5'3, was never very tall. There is still hunger games fanfic I wrote in 2014 floating around out there of Katniss/Peeta and also Clato obviously.

To this day when I go into surgery, I have my hair in those little training ponytails Clove wore, because it keeps my bangs out of my face.

I distinctly remember wanting to be a blonde when I was 13/14. In 8th grade I kept dying my hair lighter with highlights. But about a month before the movie, I dyed my hair back to the dark natural brown. The way home from that appointment my mom pointed out to me "Maybe the hunger games, and Katniss, showed you that you can be pretty with dark hair and you don't have to change that." That has stuck with me for 11 years.

I fell out of it naturally, as I went through HS and College. I went to all the movies at midnight, but still, I was growing up and growing out by the last Mockingjay movie. Even in HS, for golf and dance I braided my hair out of the way. I did hunger games themed dance solos at competitions. Eventually, I did fall out of it as I got closer to college.

But like all things, you find your way back home.

It's been..14.. years since I read those books.

I still do my hair like Clove, but now as an almost doctor/future surgeon.

I still think of my home town as District 12 adjacent.

I still recognize the love of Katniss and Prim as the most important love and relationship in the whole series.

My type is still tall blonde boys with blue eyes (which..I got from THG movie).

I'll be at the midnight premiere of this movie with my best friend, like I did all before.

Recently I saw the movies on prime. I cried watching mockingjay part 2 because that was still so much like me and my sister. I watched again and I mourned the reality of what my favorite series EVER was.

This is a series about children fighting to the death. The horrors of fascism and the government. About actual war. The social commentary (The outrage of the capitol at the thought of Peeta and Katniss's fetus dying in the games, vs the reality of watching 23 children fight to the death every year and cheering is one of the most jarring and realistic reflections of society today). The media sensationalized THG to a love story just like the capitol. Looking back, from the age of Finnick in mockingjay, rather than Clove or Katniss in THG and CF, the way I see these films and this series is so different.

Thats what drew me back. Theres a comfort in this series, it was my favorite thing.

Theres a comfort I want back, in the most stressful season of my life.

But there is so much for me to uncover and unpack as an adult that I missed as a child.

It feels like I am doing a service to my younger self.

thank you for asking and thank you for giving me space to gush.

New Years Day by Taylor Swift with Austin Butler ✍️

Omg I love this. Thank you for submitting a req for my celebration!

I’m likely going to do an actual fic about this where his singer!gf writes him this song so I can do more with it.

But for now here are my thoughts and a moodboard for it:

New Year’s Day By Taylor Swift Prompt: Austin Butler Blurb

“Don't read the last page. But I stay when you're lost, and I'm scared, and you're turning away”

Austin went through such intense preparation for his role as Elvis. He wanted everything to be perfect and it resulted in him turning inward and isolating even from the woman he loved. However, you would constantly reassure him that you loved him and no matter how it turned out you two would be okay.

“I want your midnights. But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day”

Austin not only wanted to prove himself to the fans and crew, but he felt he had to do well to deserve being with you. He wanted to make you proud. You had to fight to convince him that you were already proud of him and that even if something happened, you’d be there to clean up the mess and support him.

“You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi. I can tell that it's gonna be a long road”

More of nervous Austin. His strong hands would be squeezing your’s for comfort and to express his love when he couldn’t get himself to speak. You could easily see through the facade he had of this confident actor and see his true emotions and anxious energy.

“I'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe. Or if you strike out and you're crawling home”

It had taken Austin a long time to comprehend you truly felt this way. He was so worried if he failed that you’d leave. His perfectionism would get the best of him and cause him to question himself and whether he was worthy of you.

“I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong, or we're making mistakes”

Austin would have so much guilt for how he tried to shut everyone and everything out when preparing for his role. It took time and lots of deep conversations to show him that you loved him even through his mistakes and that you weren’t going to give up on him.

“Hold on to the memories. They will hold on to you”

Ooof I feel this part is about his connection to Elvis’s own loss. He has said he felt so close to Elvis because of his own memories of his mom and how they both lost their moms at 23. I can see how as his partner you’d be encouraging him to not bury those memories away and instead remember them and embrace them. Not just for the sake of the movie but for his own well-being.

“And I will hold on to you”

Immediately following getting him to be comfortable with missing his mom and remembering her life, you’d be promising him that you’d be by his side. That he could grieve her loss but that he wouldn’t be alone in doing so. That he could analyze this connection he had to Elvis having gone through the same pain but that he didn’t have to face it by himself.

“Please don't ever become a stranger. Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere”

Pleading with him that no matter what happens in life, that you never wanted him to not be by your side. His precious laughter would never cease to bring a smile to your face and you needed him to know that.

“You and me, forevermore”

Through all of it, the preparation, filming, press, premieres, awards, etc. You and Austin were inseparable. He loved your presence and hated being apart. He knew you were going to become his wife one day.

We Have Always Lived in Hateno Village: Lets Play Tears of the Kingdom

I have utterly fucked off from the main quest at this point. Below the cut, I get another flashback sequence, briefly say hello to the Gorons, and spiral into sidequests.

Ah, lightning, my old nemesis. I got zapped twice before begrudgingly unequipping my metal shit.

Another wet memory! This one is Ganondorf and the Gerudos unleashing a swarm of monsters in the desert, yay! Zelda continues to participate in history, which surely won't have any consequences at all.

Gerudos my buff beloveds

Rauru's got THREE eyes and he didn't give me even ONE. :( At this rate I'm never going to replace all my dumb human parts with cool goat parts.

Oh fuck oh no oh fuck:

I didn't even mean to open my camera--that was all panic, baybee--but at least now Link has material for a found-footage horror film.

A fun thing to do is to get real deep underground and burn through 50+ brightblossoms and end up having to fast travel to safety after stubbornly fumbling for way too long in the dark.

An actually fun thing to do is to make a skeletal horse friend. Our time together was brief but beautiful, befitting a love that must blaze out like a dying star rather than fade away in a stable. I'll never forget you, skeleton horse friend.

Damn I wish Blingee still worked

Wet memory time! Zelda is outing herself as a time traveler, because fuck them future kids I guess. She is also not immune to the charms of her goat GGGGGGILF, if that blush means anything.

Back to sidequests. I continue to be Hyrule's premier engineer:

Photos taken moments before disaster (the disaster was that the cart detached from the harness during the cutscene and I took off without them):

Fuck it, we ball:

Ball it, we fuck:

The Gorons are building an amusement park? YES PLEASE

Nvm they're building it with an unregulated monopoly so I must destroy it at all costs

My current wild theory of the Zelda sightings in the present is that she did a time-travel body swap. We see her in the flashbacks as she sees herself, like Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap, but she's actually inhabiting the body of whatever malicious little weirdo is trotting around in her body right now. I know this is not going to be correct but the heart wants what it wants

I could afford the fire-resistant shirt but that would mean putting my tiddies in fabric jail so I refuse. Time to gather elixir ingredients and/or save up for fire-resistant pants.

I'm so glad I have camera mode unlocked now:

I found some lizards and got distracted by minecart tracks in the sky that have led me to a sky shrine!

I am now distracted by exploring the vast underground world in an area that has nothing to do with any quests I'm on.

After a brush with almost continuing the main quest, I went around finding (and inevitably repairing) sky terminals before trekking to Hateno Village for FASHION.

omg i love the mushroom fashionista

i love her secret midnight veggie habit

i love her public art pieces

she's perfect

Also perfect is this girl, who gave me a single egg and will never give me another:

I no longer remember the main quest. I have always lived in Hateno Village. I am the campaign manager for competing mayoral campaigns. I spend my nights roaming the network of caverns connecting the town's wells. I fill my pockets with pungent cheese.

Ooh, ooh, I get a FASHION REWARD for my relentless stalking of candidates for public office and my dedication to waking old woman up their beds to impose mushrooms upon them. I wonder what it--

!!!

HOLY FUCKING FRUITY FUNGI, BATMAN, I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS HAT OFF:

#stealthnoodle plays loz: tears of the kingdom #tears of the kingdom #totk spoilers #tears of the kingdom? no. it's mushrooms of the village #unfortunately for everyone i can take selfies now

@taylorswift @taylornation

Screaming. Crying. Omg best TV album. Hi, it's me, Kelly, I'm the problem. I've been streaming 1989 TV since midnight and have officially soaked in all the prior songs and the vault songs. Gotta say, these vault songs are epic *chefs kiss*

I know I don't write on Tumblr much, but I hope you read my original Tumblr post on how important your music is. I am still without a job, but everyday I stream your music or have it on a vinyl playing <3 It help's during the tough days, which seem to be a bit more often lately.

Every time I see another 1989 baby conquering and succeeding the way you are it inspires me to follow my passions, but to also work hard on them too. I've just been so inspired and diving into my creativity.

Can we please talk about "Now That We Don't Talk Anymore" being a TOTAL ANTHEM!!! I have been screaming this song all day and when I hear the chorus I get chills. "I CANNOT BE YOUR FRIEND" ooooof such a line Taylor! Slay.

My dog Oliver LOVES your song "Is It Over Now" he loves the beats and perks his head side to side. I have to get it on a video lol. He also loves "Exile" and curls up next to me and lays his head on my laptop while it plays. He's a fan :)

Btw, that is another song I feel in my bones. Seeing your live surprise song performance of it broke me. Taylor you can't do that to us lol <3

Thank you for putting my 34 years of girlhood into words my whole life. I cannot believe I get to live in a time where you exist. Your songs are poetry, therapy, joy, and so much more. Music has always been my "thing" and your music has always been my favorite. It could also be because my horoscopes cancer, you know we love to be in our feelings LOL.

I remember during my hardest times you were releasing music when I happen to have been losing a family member (Reputation, Red TV, Folklore, Evermore). So many nights I put my airpods on and cried to sleep listening to your music. It sounds sad, but I promise you, without your music, I don't know where I'd be. Your music drowned my thoughts and allowed me to be in another world- even if it was just a short time.

Okay, back to streaming. I'm aiming to get into the top 0.1% on your Spotify because frankly I'm insulted I didn't make it and couldn't go to the ERA's movie premier hahahaha. BTW saw it on IMAX 3 times and danced the night away each time. My heart left full the last night in particular when a young group of girls ran to the front to sing and dance to "The Man." Imagine, I was a kid when I started listneing you. Now, I was looking at future Swifties and just knowing what a beautiful life they have ahead of them. They knew every song especially your earlier work. Magical. Byyyyye

"No, it's Becky."

It is truly stunning to me how many people are just unable to disengage from H*rry P*tter. Like, truly stunning. I say this as someone who loooooooooved the books as a child. Loved them. Somewhere in my parents’ attic are multiple copies of once treasured sets including a paperback “travel” set I bought because I essentially always had one of the books on me from the ages of 6 to 16. I was at every midnight release, every movie premiere, and I re-read the entire series once a year for longer than I can remember.

But somewhere along the line I grew up. And I don’t mean I outgrew them because they were childish; I never believed that. I mean I grew up and started engaging with media in a more thoughtful way. I started engaging with people outside of my insular small town and with each re-read I saw more things I couldn’t unsee. I can’t not cringe at Cho Chang. I can’t ignore the antisemitism of the goblin portrayals or the absolute absurdity of every house elf plot. I cannot read the unnecessarily gratuitous description of Rita Skeeter’s “masculine physicality” and not be appalled by what I now see as excruciating evidence of R*wling’s raging transphobia. I cannot read one more time about how not only is Dudley mean, but worse, he’s fat fat fat fat fat.

I cannot pretend HP gave me nothing as a child. I was desperately dorky and lonely and I lived inside books, mainly H*rry P*tter for years on end. It was my introduction to fandom, and fanfic, and fan art. And to fantasy! It was my gateway to an entire world that has enriched my life so much, but it cannot continue to be part of my life. I have never seen Fantastic Beasts. I will never play whatever wretched game they’ve just released. And the thing is, I don’t even miss it. I rarely even think of it until some controversy rears its head.

And that’s what gets me, I guess. I know there are so many people out there who found meaning, or comfort, or hope, or validation in the series as a child. Believe me, you would be hard pressed to find a child more obsessed than I was. But I’m not a child anymore. I’m a trans adult who is stunned to watch people who claim to be allies continue to stuff money in the pockets of someone who has openly admitted to using that money to support groups and policies that do active, material harm to trans people. We can talk about the merits of engaging thoughtfully with problematic media or fans reclaiming stuff for themselves all day long, but at the end of the day this woman is still alive, still incredibly active online and in her weird little TERF world, and actively doing harm to queer people right now.

It’s okay to let HP go. It’s okay to channel that energy into one of the million fantasy series out there that are better conceived and better written. It’s not going to undo your childhood. It doesn’t mean you have to look back and castigate your 10-year-old self for not recognizing and criticizing the werewolf HIV metaphor. It’s just time to let go.

#cw: harry potter #discourse #long post #personal #trans #it’s big ‘how are you going to participate in the revolution you can’t even boycott chick fil a’ energy #stop talking about the revolution when you can’t even bring yourself to not play one mediocre antisemitic game

Do you have some happy family memories you could share?

I can sure try!

The tragic thing about having undiagnosed and thus untreated and unmitigated depression and anxiety since approximately the age of 7, is that my childhood and teenage memories are somewhat scarce and the ones that exist are frequently a bit gray-tinted emotionally speaking.

But I do remember that my mom, being a professional nerd and raising us to keep that legacy going, made a point of taking us to midnight book premieres at the local Books-A-Million. And by local, I mean "minimum one hour drive across state lines". So it was a big deal, and we made it such. We went to the whole thing, from 8pm to midnight, in costume, including my younger sister who was probably too young to be staying up that late, but it was for LITERATURE darn it! After the clock struck midnight and we trudged through the line to get our pre-ordered copy of the book in question, we would start the trek back home, stopping at Sonic on the way for exorbitant amounts of ice cream so that we would be sure to stay awake for the whole ride back. The ones I remember most clearly are the last 3 Harry Potter books (it was back before a JKR really went off the deep end, and before we were super well educated about antisemitism in media), and one of the Eragon books. Do I remember which one? Nope. I wasn't into Eragon at all, but my big sister was, so we went.

Just like how my sisters weren't into Star Trek, but we all went to the matinee premier of the first reboot because I was into it. And, let's be real, the OG Trekkies that were my parents wanted to see it, too. So we staked out the theater in the mall (again, an hour+ drive to the next state) to get tickets the minute they opened, and my mom sat in the back with me because I was so excited and worked up that I had triggered the Anxiety Button in my brain, and had to keep running out to go hurl in the popcorn-smelling mall-theater bathrooms.

I have a lot of fond memories of that Mall Cinemark, honestly. My dad loves movies, and at least once a year, he would decide there was something we simply had to see-- be it because it was something he really wanted to see, or because we kids wouldn’t shut up about it-- and we’d make a whole day of it. Go to dinner at a restaurant (usually a pan-Asian place) ((Five Star Buffet and Hibachi my beloved, ily bby)), see movie, long drive home discussing it in depth, stay up way too late in the process. In particular I remember Sharkboy and Lavagirl, because we were juuuuuust the right age to NEED TO SEE THAT MOVIE NOW. My dad, however, has craptacular eyesight, and even with his recent Lasik surgery (back when Lasik was pretty new in our area), he still had great difficulty with his vision. With screens in particular. Partway through, he dipped out into the hall, and I asked my mom what was going on. She explained that that my dad actually can’t see 3-D. It doesn’t work for him, and never has, and gives him migraines. (even the new Real-D doesn’t work for him.) But he took us to see a 3-D heavy gimmick movie because we asked, and he’s an acts-of-service kind of person.

I remember, too, the first time my sisters and I went to that theater without our mom. She had passed before the final Harry Potter movie came out (again, pls don’t come for me, we were young and uneducated and JKR wasn’t known to be a terrible person at the time). My sisters and I went to the midnight premiere-- the first midnight premiere we’d ever done without her. I was quite certain that I was going to have a terrible time, because it was constantly in the back of my mind that “mom’s not here, we’re doing this without her, she never got to see this like she wanted”. And yet the minute we got there and got our over-salted popcorn and ungodly-huge root beer buckets, it was just like Old Times. We had a blast, and stopped for ice cream at Sonic on the way home.

And speaking of nerd stuff with the sisters, I got to attend my first ever convention with them, and it was incredible. We even got the full 3-day passes, leading up to The Big Event of a John Rhys-Davies/Peter Hambleton panel we really wanted to see. It was also going to be our first ever cosplay competition the second day, and we spent weeks trying to put stuff together.

The first day we did a casual Supernatural group cosplay, which meant I was carrying my apartment’s communal carton of table salt around all day while sweating it out in a guns-n-roses T-shirt and corduroy jacket. Note to all con newbies: IT BE HOT. Dress accordingly. By the end of day 1, which was really just Morning to Noon for us, I started feeling a bit blah. Oh well, probably just nerves, right?

The second day dawned and I woke up feeling miserable. But it was the day of the cosplay competition, so I put on my big kid boots and whipped out the curling iron. We were doing a Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield, and Smaug the Dragon group cosplay, so we slathered my little sister’s feet in liquid latex and shaved a section of fake fur over the top of it. My big sister was our Thorin, and we actually did a pretty good scale-mail jerkin thing out of cardboard and shiny silver fabric scavenged from the local thrift store. My costume was the most involved (and as such, the most janky)-- a homemade hi-lo dress in mottled red, black, and gold, and a shoulder shrug cape cut with deep dragon-wing scallops. We made it to my exact measurements, but this was, indeed, our first rodeo and we didn’t have our mom to remind us to allow for seams, so when I went to put it on, I couldn’t get it zipped. We whipped out the excess fabric and wrapped my torso mummy-style, with discount Spanx underneath, and I finally slithered my way into it just in time to get there and realize....

We sucked.

Big time.

We were way out of our league, guys. You could absolutely tell we were the Noobs in the room. You’ve seen those Pro Cosplayer people, the ones that make full costume departments look like amateurs. We were in a room full of THOSE, and we had rolled up with our Goodwill Discount Rack Halloween Costumes. It was mortifying. And yet....

They were so kind, y’all. Even the judges were nice and listened to us present our shabby rags with big, genuine smiles. This middle-aged guy in full medieval getup adopted us during the wait and gave us bottles of water from his own personal bag of them because, as I mentioned above, conventions be HOT. This guy in a full metal lego man suit told us about his first ever cosplay he attempted, where his cardboard suit got wet in the rain, melted and ripped, and left him in his undies with no backup outfit in sight. When my sister’s latex feet began to peel and we started panicking visibly, a girl in elaborate, mystical-looking anime cosplay informed us of the Cosplay First Aid booth on the main floor, where there were people who would help you fix wardrobe emergencies and malfunctions, and even had a touch-up makeup kit. It was all so welcoming and kind, and even tho I’m still kind of embarrassed, it restores my faith in humanity to this day.

After that, we went and caught a comedy magic show and toured the rest of the booths we had missed the day before. But by then, I was starting to feel really, really miserable.

I woke up the next morning and couldn’t talk. I was running a fever, and felt like death. I was devastated because I was going to miss ALL the panels we had planned on, but especially the JR-D/PH one I had been so looking forward to. I insisted my sisters go without me because we had paid for those passes, darn it. They went, I stayed home on the couch and marathonned Lord of the Rings.

When they returned, they were acting very sneaky. I asked what was up, and they showed me a video. They had gotten a video of John and Peter saying hi to me by name, and John even said he hoped I felt better soon. I cried. It was a whole thing. I love my sisters. (Not just because they break the rules slightly to get famous nerd-adjacent actors to wish me well, but that was a pretty stellar sister movie, ngl.)

As for more recent memories, I’m particularly fond of the time when my husband and I, after less than a month in our little starter dorm-apartment, and less than 2 months of being married, were plagued with Stinky Sink. Our apartment/dorm was the bottom of a 3-tier setup, and sometimes the sink decided to back up by reason of something a higher-up apartment had sent down the disposal. It would belch noxious fumes, and make the whole apartment reek of sewer.

We did not know this the first time it happened.

Cue panic and running from the apartment gagging and laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation. My husband braved the Stonk to go in and shut our bedroom door in the hope of saving it from the smell. We called maintenance, they said “as long as it’s not pouring stuff onto the floor, we’ll get to it within a week.” A WEEK.

We decided to make an event of it. If we needed to confine ourselves to the one un-tainted block of air in the place (the bedroom), we were gonna have fun. So first, we walked down the hill to the campus grocery store (glorified convenience store) and bought a bunch of junk food. Think road trip snacks. Chips Ahoy and gummy worms, OJ, the works. Then we walked all the way back and dashed through the stink-cloud to lock ourselves in the bedroom.

By the way, this was late July and the apartment had no AC. So we rolled up our outer layer of clothes-- we were too scared to go back out for a towel, it was REALLY stanky, y’all-- and used it to block the crack under the door. We opened the window and tilted the blinds so nobody could see in, cranked up the fan, and had a slumber party in our underwear binge-watching Gravity Falls for the first time ever. Complete with staying up past midnight and laughing so hard we nearly peed ourselves.

They say to marry your best friend, and it’s moments like that that show why you should.

But yeah, I know this was long, so sorry about that, but I hope that for whatever reason you asked, you found something helpful or enjoyable here.

1. Qui-Gon Jinn: love or hate? Discuss. 13. What is your earliest Star Wars memory? 19. Quick fic inspired question: would you ever consider using a lightsaber hilt as a sex toy?

Thanks for the ask!

1. I honestly do not really have an opinion on Qui-Gon. Just don't think about him much.

13. My first distinct memory EVER was going to see the midnight premiere of Phantom Menace in theaters. I was four. I just remember it being such a big deal and people were at the theater in costume and there were cardboard cutouts of the characters and everything! And the movie blew my four year old mind, like that was the GREATEST thing I had ever seen, nothing else was like it.

I'll put 19 under a cut.

19. I would say the vast majority of lightsaber hilts aren't really suitable for that, but uh, you know? I think it could be fun for teasing. Like a proxy. Rubbing it against oneself, or holding/licking it in a way that implies another action. Just probably not, you know, actually putting it in holes.

how did you discover reylo (bc ppl have different stories and I love hearing them)

So I've been a Star Wars fan pretty much as long as I can remember: I snuck to watch A New Hope as a young kid when my parents rented it and even though it terrified me I was captivated. When the prequels came out, I begged my mom to take me to the midnight premieres, back when that was a thing and you actually had to wait in line for hours and hours, and it was so much fun.

Needless to say, when the sequels were announced I was thrilled and hilariously enough, before The Force Awakens came out, I remember speculating with my friends that Rey was absolutely going to be Luke's lost daughter, right? Then I saw TFA, and all that went immediately out the window. I had no idea who Adam Driver was, so the reveal of Kylo Ren taking off his helmet in the interrogation scene practically knocked me out of my chair. The dynamic between him and Rey grabbed me right away. Because I'd also adored Han & Leia since childhood, it seemed natural to me that he had to turn-- I couldn't imagine Ben Solo never rising above his desire to be a Vader clone.

I had actually joined Tumblr in 2015 for a different fandom (which is why this is a side blog), but seeing the early meta and fanart it simply all clicked for me: reylo made sense as an enemies-to-lovers relationship that could be developed over the course of a trilogy. I'm a sucker for dangerous chemistry, for forbidden romance, for that will they won't they. It was exciting, and I fell head-first into reylo and never looked back. I've always been on the quiet side in fandom, as I tend to have that "somebody's already said it and more eloquently than I would have" attitude, but I'm so appreciative of all the AMAZING fanfic writers, artists, gif-makers, and bloggers who have made this fandom a great place to be 💜

Thanks for the ask, anon!

#anon ask #reylo is love #reylo fandom <3 #me #i'd love to read more reylo discovery stories!

if you somehow don’t know, i love mlp. i grew up with it and it was such a big part of my childhood

so i figured i’d finally post my ocs

these are water lily and melancholy “melan” midnight

water lily is a fish-unicorn hybrid (not a seapony, she has 4 legs) and is timid yet scholarly. she is easily spooked but will gladly spend her time next to melan if it meant she’d get to read a nice book on marine biology. she’s also commonly paranoid something will fall from the sky (childhood trauma)

melan is a dragon-pegasus hybrid. she’s actually quite peppy, kinda dumb and very in touch with nature. her favorite food is fish, which greatly freaks water lily out (they met because melan pounced on her while hunting). she claims to “hear the trees”, which is really just her noticing it’s windy

their story takes place 50-ish years prior to the series premiere, as ponyville at the time was quite fearful of water lily for her mixed species. she’s outcasted and eventually flees to the everfree forest, where melan sees her and thinks she’s prey. melan lives in one of the towers at the castle of the two sisters and has for as long as she can remember. they bond over never getting cutie marks because they’re hybrids. also they are lesbians

have a good night everypony i’m gonna go play yume nikki

BESTIE BAEEEEEEEEE

I’m back 🤭🤭🤭

Tbh its been a rough few weeks 💀 ALSO HELP HOW COME EVERY TIME I DISAPPEAR YOU WHIP OUT SO MANY SCRUMPDILIUMPTIOUS FICS LIKE??? Not that I’m complaining tho 😋😋

Firstly, Occupied… hmmm mhmnn yeahh lemme just say that your impulsive thoughts are so valid 😔🙏 buT J E S U S DID YOU HAVE TO PUT MY HEART IN THE CROSSFIRE- I think I had to stare at my ceiling for a bit afterwards cause like damn… I love my man🗿

Secondly, Rhapsody Anonymous… had my kicking my feet as per usual 🙄🙄 and tbh the fact that both parties were valid in their reasoning for not wanting to out each other and tbh I would also be struggling on deciding whether to spill my identity or not 😭😭 but it was saUR SITIEKR CUTE 😭 man I feel like I set myself up each time I read/re-read the love in unity series cause each time they just call me more and more single and alone 😔💔 BUT FRET NOT I WILL USE THIS AS MOTIVATION AND LECTURE NOTES ON HOW TO GET A GOOD MAN 😤‼️

ALSO OMG DID YOU WATCH BARBIE YET??? Ok I think I gotta calm down I’ve been using too many caps 💀 but Lip Gloss is so Barbie too and the MV is literally a bunch of Kens doing Beach and you can’t convince me otherwise 😤☝️

My personal ranking of the album would be:

1. Fantasize

2. Fire Eyes

3. Passion Fruit

4. Lip Gloss

5. Lighthouse

6. Fairy Tale

But I honestly love all of them and I’ve listened to the album non-stopppppp!

Also yesss I did watch the zeneration behind and tell my whyyyyy New and Kevin ATE 🫣

Also the newest lip gloss mv behind took me OUT esp Changmin wiping TF OUTTTT with the volleyball net like eye- 💀💀

Also just to sneak in a lil abt the pcs… you din’t want to see the Totoro pcs… TRUST 😨😨 not safe for my mental health at ALL

Ouuu also my turn!

1. My fav bread would have to be seed bread! Not like, multigrain bread and idk if the right name is seed bread but it’s just in the name it’s bread made with a bunch of seeds mixed in 😭😭

2. My quirky snow app filter pics… oooooohhhh I hope those never see the light of day again 💀

3. No. 🗿

(But also just like you said, I’m patient but I’m also getting a lil bit impatient at the same time 😔)

4. The Robinson’s kid from meet the Robinsons…. Also Diego,,, and the Kratts broth-*gets shot*

Oh and maybe a few more questions!

1. Are you a tea person or a coffee person? What’s your fav drink?

2. Do you have a sweet tooth? If so, what’s your fav pastry?

3. If you could recommend any MUST HAVE food from your culture, what would it be?

(Can you tell that I’m craving a midnight snack rn 💀)

Oh also! I finally decided to start of my getting-back-into-reading journey with reading a book that has intrigued me and has been floating around a lot, Bunny by Mona Awad! I’ll let you know how it goes in a lil solo book club way 🫡

Since when do you like THG? Tell me your THG story 😊

Thank you

Okay, I have been waiting to do this justice. But here I go.

To this day when I go into surgery, I have my hair in those little training ponytails Clove wore, because it keeps my bangs out of my face.

But like all things, you find your way back home.

It's been..14.. years since I read those books.

I still do my hair like Clove, but now as an almost doctor/future surgeon.

I still think of my home town as District 12 adjacent.

I still recognize the love of Katniss and Prim as the most important love and relationship in the whole series.

My type is still tall blonde boys with blue eyes (which..I got from THG movie).

I'll be at the midnight premiere of this movie with my best friend, like I did all before.

Thats what drew me back. Theres a comfort in this series, it was my favorite thing.

Theres a comfort I want back, in the most stressful season of my life.

But there is so much for me to uncover and unpack as an adult that I missed as a child.

It feels like I am doing a service to my younger self.

thank you for asking and thank you for giving me space to gush.

#about me #:) thank you!
