#the amount of links in this...

Visions

#i have so much love for botw link #he remembers nothing but the weight of the sword #he is willing to take in incredible amounts of pain and responsibility just to understand himself and his previous life a bit better #its not as if he’s not responsible and courageous #but this iteration of link has lost so much-even before the game it seems taking his destiny has made him quiet #dunno remember who was it who wrote #‘the sword became a needle snd with the thread of destiny; it sew his lips’ #but apart from the desesperation of looking for a trace of himself in all things #he is also guilty and scared of what his past holds #anyways i should write a fanfic not pour this into tags #botw #breath of the wild #link #legend of zelda #master sword #animation #procreate dreams #link botw

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility #but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion #that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone #i am an environmental educator #so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering #that people are going through #without doing my research and providing real ways to help #this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning #to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering #unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this #and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this #and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity #(complaining) #and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself #for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion #i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out #rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually. #my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free #is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY. #anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i #which is more than their CEOs can say

spent like an hour trying to find a post abt the disparity of origin companion's content in bg3 and couldn't so, hey, this fucking sucks

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #the fact that the astarion favoritism is baked into the game itself is so darksided oh my god #bc what do you mean wyll has TWO THIRDS THE AMOUNT OF DIALOGUE??? #anyways this thread was also how i found out that astarion is the only one with durge specific scenes #and bc the writer was being forced into crunch and writing for both of them. lol #ETA I know abt Wyll being recast/rewritten and Karlach being added last. the post I linked goes into all of that in detail #as well as linking to another post that goes into even more detail and explains where these numbers came from. #you do not have to tell me. or accuse me of making shit up to make people mad. i know and i'm still mad lol #game design is very complicated yes but there's many ways they could've avoided giving the one black character the least amount of content

Just discoverd this outfit from the game and looked too fun not to draw ( probably not game accurate) Seriously the art in totk is insane and so inspiring.

Last pic is a color experiment :/

#tears of the kingdom #the legend of zelda #zelda fanart #totk #loz #link #link totk #character design #artisits on tumblr #sketch #drawing #the amount times I have writen lonk instead of link is starting to be worrying XD #lonk #random bow #how do bows work in this game?? confusing to draw

ref + alt version:

pros of knowing someone who can turn into a wolf:

free cuddles

everything else

cons:

he tends to get broody about it

dog hair EVERYWHERE

in summary: ouppy :)

#my art #my posts #linked universe #linked universe fanart #lu fanart #lu wolfie #lu twilight #lu sky #lu wild #lu time #lu four #lu hyrule #lu wind #lu legend #lu warriors #imagine my glee at counting the number of people in that picture and realising it was the PERFECT amount #side note proportions are my mortal enemy and will be until the bitter end #twilight is a good boy and deserves all the cuddles and i don’t CARE if he gets pouty about it #look at him. fluff for days. twi it’d be cruel to deprive the world of just a little patpat

Your art is so fun, it makes me smile every time I see it! If you're taking requests, can you draw casual Time vibing with Legend and/or Four? Perhaps commiserating about having some of the only brain cells

Tales from Lon Lon part 1 (part 2)

#linked universe #linkeduniverse #lu legend #lu time #lu four #art request #sraksha's art #i have a scary amount of old requests yet to be drawn #whoops #yall have no idea how WEIRD it was #to color four without half of his colors #he looks so bland lol

"Canon Link would never 🙄 He wants to just roam!1!"

Canon Link: I hope my sweet princess graces me with her beautiful voice today. How I wish to see her smile. I need to live up to her feelings

What's that, princess? You need research materials? gives an excess amount of what she asked for

You want my hairtie? Sure! Everything I own is yours

#zelink #totk #botw #legend of zelda #loz #tloz #Link is a simp ok #research materials thing is from age of calamity #he gave her so many frogs that the lab got overrun if I remember correctly #and a very large amount of silent princesses #etc #I think it was something like 3 quests where Zelda asks for something and Link goes overboard lol

Legend and Sky as a duo is so funny to me!!

Red to the last pic

#lu sky #lu legend #linkeduniverse #linked universe #my art #legend and Sky is such an underrated duo #LOOOOOVVVEEE THEM SM #tbh I think Legend of the type of person who cares A Lot About A Lot Of Things #but when he doesn’t care about something He Does Not Care Bro!!! #so the first pic is him literally not caring about this heckler because mans been thru it and he has More Important Things To Worry About #Sky. However. #Is the number one defender of the other Links and he’s is ALWAYS ready to throw hands in my opinion tbh #the amount of times in Skysword that I hunted down monsters is Crazy because I don’t do that in other Loz games LMAO #sorry for my rambles 😔😔😔😔 enjoy my meme work
