The Asog is one of many examples of how transphobia, sexism, and racism are the lasting legacy of colonization.

I love totk, love it with all my heart. But even I feel a bit disappointed with a lot of the aspects.

The one that gets me the most is just, the Zonai in general?

When I think back to botw, I remember all the wild and exciting theories and thoughts about what the Zonai could be.

I remember theories that they were some iteration of the Kokiri because the spiral symbols were similar, and a lot of the structures were in forests. I remember everyone being so sure that they were a warlike race because the Barbarian Set were found exclusively in the Lomei Labyrinths. Everyone was wondering what the owls, boars and dragons meant to them.

Then we actually get to see the Zonai, the big mystery of botw and there's just.

Nothing.

All we learn is: there’s 2 of them, they had advanced tech, and they had magical macguffins.

It feels so hollow knowing there was so much potential for another race to be introduced to the Zelda universe and we essentially get Sheikah 2.0 with some Mesoamerican vibes.

We don't even learn anything about them as a race, like where the rest of them went or how they were accepted so easily as rulers or why they're called "Secret Stones" when it seems like everyone knows what they are.

The only real upside to this total lack of info is that it lets people with actual creativity create headcanons and fits without having to worry about being canon compliant.

Just rings hollow.

Yeah, I absolutely feel that. I think the Zelda theorists, and I both include myself and say this with all the love in the world, tend to overhype the specificity of things that tend to remain vague in Zelda (and sometimes that vagueness is great, because it's exactly what fuels us next!), but.... I have to agree that Zonais really didn't deliver on that aspect for me either.

To be frank, I was never super into Zonai lore (because I was never super into BotW lore, but it's really on me and not at all a criticism or anything, the community and I missed each other on the hyperfocus moment), but I got super interested to see the Mesoamerican vibes going on in this game to the point where, when Nintendo dropped the Gameplay trailer and I got... honestly pretty underwhelmed (like design wise that sounded great and fun but it kind of cemented the sort of playground direction they were going with, and it got me pretty worried about other aspects, namely the story :) ), I decided to spoil myself with the leaked artbook just to give me... something to latch onto I guess? Because I really wanted to get excited! And the Mesoamerican vibes did the trick: I got super curious about what that could mean, what the Zonais would bring to the table culture-wise, what sort of cool legends involving them would be investigated, etc... Also it just wasn't a kind of setting that Zelda ever really explored (and still has not, in my humble opinion), so it kind of quieted down my worries of having a game that looked so similar to BotW in terms of artistic direction, to the point where I became afraid it wouldn't have anything different to say (which... ended up kind of being my final opinion, unfortunately).

I think the Zonais both lost a lot of their mystery while not really clarifying anything? I kind of would have loved them to remain otherwordly figures, almost? Or maybe to just have hints of a culture that would be very different to Hyrule's, instead of basically the same thing but with robots and things fly around also --I would have loved deeper implementation of Mesoamerican mythos or cultural elements, instead of it remaining.... kind of a costume, honestly? Like, what even is zonai culture, beyond the automation (which was already kind of the Sheikah's thing anyway?) Where do the stones come from? Where are the other zonais? I'm not asking for direct answers, but just enough vagueness, murals, legends, ancient spirits to set the theorists' brain on fire. The Depths would have been amazing to hint at more (and doubly so for the Sky Islands), but right now, in spite of having spoken to two different live (kind of) Zonais, I still have zero idea what their deal is. They could have been hylians and nothing would have really changed.

So, yeah! Agreed! And sorry for the late ask aaa

#asks #tloz #totk #totk critical #totk spoilers #zonai #thanks for the ask!! #the last part being why I really do not buy the whole “mesoamerican coded” reading of totk #because?? #like if I dress up as a native american for a party it doesn't make me native coded it just makes me rude #I would love for them to actually be mesoamerican coded (in a good rich interesting way) #and invoke the complexity of their power structure their religious practices their economical exchanges... make chocolate super valuable!! #or for ganondorf to be this invading force mirroring the spanish invasion #(given the gerudos in oot loosely referenced the invasion of spain that could be interesting too) #like then sure!! #but here it's just...ganondorf is the underdog power-wise!! so the comparaison doesn't go anywhere!! #plus he was the one living in Hyrule first! the game establishes this!! nobody asked the game to do this but it does anyway!! #anyways!!! sorry!!! #got a little offtrack here oopsi oopsi #totk storytelling confusing

Lantana Flowers are Beautiful and Come in Many Colors

Lantana Flowers are Beautiful and Come in Many Colors features a particularly brightly colored type of lantana flowers that the author/artist found growing out in the country. It discusses the pros and cons of this plant in central Florida.

Resplendent Lantana (Lantana camara) flowers tend to be a favorite amongst gardeners due to their variety of colors and their hardiness. Some people also know these beauties as common lantana, red sage, Spanish flag, or West Indian lantana. It comes in quite a few serovars that have different color combinations and varying levels of color intensity. I’m not sure which type this one is, but in my…

I've been trying busuu as an alternative to duolingo, and I mostly really like it so far, but while the default (spain) spanish course is free, the latin american spanish version is partially paywalled bc it's technically a bonus feature >:(

#busuu I live in the us #busuu every native spanish speaker I've ever met has been from latin america (or descended from people from there) #those are the people I want to talk to #busuu I would rather die than think about vosotros. please #I'm SO clumsy at spanish I need to practice and review so bad. but I simply am not paying for another subscription service #invasion of the frogs

Cuba in 2023 is, even naturalistically, a shithole unless you're interested in insects, and we should accept this and still appreciate her for what she is and move the fuck on.

#I just saw an aesthetic post that included a Brazilian Macao in it #I don't even. Look the one cool parrot was chased into extinction blame the Spanish. #The cool plants too blame the Spanish #The crocodile and manatee and seal too blame the Spanish #For everything else blame the government that tried to create a makeshift paradise of invasive species in the process #Annihilating our actual ecosystem <3 hope this explains it

Once again I am asking people americans to stop comparing the "ordeal" of being alive when there's nasty regional conflicts thousands of miles away to the Literal First World War.

#comparing covid to the spanish flu? yeah sure. though people were doing that in 2019 which was a lil distasteful #comparing the invasion of ukraine to ww1? stop that. imagine that except on a dozen different fronts across eurasia. #is it because americans were as sheltered from ww1 as they were this? yeah..yeah.

i think it's very funny to interact with biologists bc I once saw one trying to pick up a stray kitten and after looking at it closely going 'oh it's not a baby possum nvm' and putting it down

#funnier in spanish bc she screamed ohhh un tlacuachito then went to pick it up and said ah no es un gato ah. bueno. bai. #also my first semester in uni when I'd come out of class almost at 10pm campus was deserted and it was just me #that girl and a kitten that was not a possum #anyway i think about that a lot. someone did pick up the kitten later but i love biologists hatred for invasive species #and their love for weird creachers #i have seen a lot of possums in my university there's a guy well known for rescuing them ppl call him when there are possums #stuck in the trash cans. #hm i do think i miss going in person to class but i aslo like how easy and comfortable is to take tests and exams at home #anyway i went on a tangent of something very mindless which means I'm procrastinating
