Why does every dad with wavy/curly blonde hair look like Apollo and why do I keep seeing them everywhere 😭

I want to see Saitama laugh, like really laugh. It could be over anything. I could guess some dumb shit because I get that vibe but I really wanna see the guy smiling and just feeling joy in some moment. Some table slapping, choking on tears kind of laughter. I wanna know what the hell he sounds like! Does he need to fall over on the floor/place he's sitting to recover? Does he have a god awfully strange laugh? Is it a cackle that no one would expect how loud it could be?
Dammit I want to see him super happy so bad. FUCK MAN

Hey you! Yeah you! You got some OCs you love?? It's time for some OC appreciation and I wanna see your OCs!!
Reply to this with one of your favorite OCs, show me a picture if you have one, and tell me a little about them! (and maybe I'll doodle some if I have the time and energy but I make no promises >.>)
I'll start!
This is Hazel! She's my main bg3 tav, a druid/bard, plays the violin, and is in a committed relationship with Astarion <3. (Yes she is my canon x oc ship, cringe is dead!) *art by me!*

So, for some context, this person was arguing that the Gerudo were stealing Hylian men, or forcing themselves on Hylian men for the sake of reproduction, even though in OoT one of the Gossip Stones clearly says that the Gerudo search for boyfriends outside of their territory. A "boyfriend" generally does not involve coercion the last time I checked.
(That is only the tip of the iceberg I am not willing to expand on all the other....drivel)
Regardless, that is not my point. My point is how this person laments that Nintendo won't commit to the "dark grittiness" because they fear backlash from certain communities, of course referring to the "Middle Eastern" community which they go on to characterize as cultures that have problems such as "engaging in slavery". Ah, woe is us that Nintendo won't expose exactly *how* barbaric the Ara-I mean the Gerudo are! In any case, the point is that, fictional races based in Orientalism actually continue to reinforce the way people view those races in real life. Considering current events and the disgusting comments people leave under pictures and videos rife with human suffering, it is literally a societal ill. It is completely fine and normal to ask of a game to depict a fictional race as they *really* are, yup.
Anyways posts like this serve to show how normalized Orientalism is in current society that it is seen as completely fine and rational to just say things like this. And, if we want to talk about the LoZ community in general, while they may not say it so directly, it is definitely the way they think. People will write about the Gerudo being ruthless thieves because they *have* to be in order to survive without asking the question "well, why do they have to be thieves in the first place". People will talk about Ganondorf having unbridled hatred for Hylians which is seen as almost canon at this point when canon has shown us that it is Hyrule at large that bore hatred and had overt racist attitudes for the Gerudo and Ganondorf (as he is often characterized as vile, evil, scary). Meanwhile, Ganondorf has never expressed actual hatred for any race in particular, the target of his ire being that he is deprived of the resources others are granted freely. The Gerudo are characterized as women who will steal and force themselves on men for the sake of survival to the point that people think this is canon, that they have prison cells to keep their baby-producing men in there. Meanwhile canon has been clear that the Gerudo are wary of men because outsider men like to be creeps and snoop around, and that the Gerudo punish those men that dare to trespass and violate their laws by imprisoning them as anyone should when an unwanted stranger comes into your house. Canon has also been clear, since the OoT days, that the Gerudo want loving CONSENSUAL relationships because, you know, they want their daughters to have loving parents. Of course Ganondorf is a rapist because he is the villain and that is what villains do BUT ALSO being a man surrounded by beautiful sexy ladies he just takes sexual availability for granted. Meanwhile in canon he hardly shows any interest towards his own people, let alone anyone else. He loves and worships power.
It is just fascinating to me that the Gerudo in popular fanon are always handled with this edge of barbarism and exoticism as if it's just normal, and then they get mad when they're told it's the orientalism that is baked into their brains that's why.

This goes out to all the characters who get reduced down to their anger. I love you.
I love your passion. I love when you get so mad your face goes red and you tremble and grit your teeth and tear up from the overwhelming emotion inside you. I love when you defend yourself and your loved ones to your last shouted breath. I love the tempest within you that cannot be quelled. I love your sensitive heart hidden beneath a thorn filled inferno. I love your angry stomps and hands irritated red from table slaps. I love your sharp breath through bared teeth. I love your hair, messy from a shaking hand ran through it. I love your hoarse voice from shouting your lungs out, voice breaking and wavering with barely fought back sobs.
I love you, characters discarded as the angry one without any thought into why you are that way. I love you characters who have been through hardships and did not come out okay. I love you characters trying to get better. I love you when your anger melts away at the gentle touch of a loved one. I love you characters who are too tired to be angry anymore, but the fire still burns within.
I love you angry characters. I love you.
