sure i COULD ramble about how ai is one of the multiple things that check all the marks of humanity's seven deadly sins but would that be extreme

White leftists are so insufferable, racist, woman-hating, and unable to understand nuance that they think a little girl from a small island in the Caribbean who was born to a single mother who had to work 3 jobs to keep their family afloat, making her dreams come true and eventually becoming a billionaire by making the worlds most shade-inclusive makeup company is the same as some white dude inheriting his fathers slave-run blood diamond mine wealth and becoming the worlds richest man via his own greed and incapability to create anything that will actually help humanity. Really?

I'm so tired of feeling so alone

#its not even that i dont have friends #i have a good amount that im happy with #and hell i literally have two partners that i love more than anything #but theres nobody that lives near me #and idk how to find people #it hurts so god damn bad #i hate feeling such an intense and burning envy when i see my friends hanging out or having good times with people irl #its not fair to myself or to them and im not insane enough to resent them for it #but god damn i wish i had that #every fucking day i wish i could wake up next to my partners and hug my best friends #its not fair #i also wish the friends i did have would start things between us more #it feels like im always the one trying to schedule things or starting convos or inviting them to do something #and then they let things fall thru or dont try to start plans or convos with me and i often feel very #passed over? ignored? uncared for? #i dont know. its such a strange feeling and it makes me feel selfish

dreamt that I went to go water some plants at my bestie's partner's house while he was away and was shocked to find that his house was a fucking cozy-ass cottage at the top of a cliff/mountainside overlooking the water & the most gorgeous fucking purple sunset you've ever seen in your whole life and all the windows facing the overlook were wall-to-wall and could be opened entirely so you could sit at your desk or at the swing bench installed in your room for some reason (???) and just watch the sunset and smell the fresh air and flowers outside.

I woke up an hour ago and I'm still pissed at him tbh

#like absolutely seething with jealousy #and pissed that he would come live with us in our apartment when he lives in paradise and we all coulda been there #but mostly the jealousy thing #even though im AWAKE NOW and KNOW that ive been to his house several times #and know that it is functionally more or less equal the house i grew up in #and know that his family situation sucks rn so of COURSE he doesnt wanna be there #weird. certainly cant be my subconscious registering my existing jealousy of him in other ways #and representing it by substituting it with a more benign and palatable subject of envy!

Hey Owl House fans! I'm in the UK, a place where the Disney Channel isn't a thing and TOH doesn't update on D+ for... a while.

What time does the newest episode come on in the US so I know to stay away from social media?

#I wouldn't need to do this if american companies would just release their shows at the same time for the rest of the world! #We only now got Our Flag Means Death #The only way I was able to watch TOH S3 Ep1 was because of Youtube #The US doesn't understand how lucky it is with their media #i envy you #your media not anything else #GIVE ME OWL HOUSE NOW! #the owl house #toh #toh season 3 #for the future

Hi! What do you think of Linebeck’s manga counterpart compared to his game counterpart? Is it about the same or do you feel different about them? Any sort of thoughts opinions and interpretations about his manga and or game counterparts?

Hi! Thanks for the ask!

I had to dig up and reread my Phantom Hourglass manga for this since I haven’t actually read it in a while, which I guess already reveals some of my opinions about it.

Off the bat, I feel differently about manga Linebeck than game Linebeck; I like the game’s version of him better, and I’ll go ahead and say that it’s probably because the manga cut out pretty much over half of the game’s plot, which severely limits a lot of stuff in the manga, as well as trashing the majority of Linebeck’s original arc and therefore making his manga arc feel very abrupt to me.

So, in terms of how the manga version feels in comparison to the game version… overall a bit lackluster compared to the game? Mainly due to the fact that half of the plot was cut, so you lose the letter, the slower changes seen through dialogue, as well as losing the two sea monster battles. The fact that the manga cuts from the ghost ship right into the Bellum fight is mainly what kills his arc a bit, since he more or less start and ends in the same places as the game’s versions, but in the manga you lose most of the build-up to that change. It also suggests the idea that he actually had less development than in the game, due to losing the letter bit and cutting out a lot of the time he had to change in the game. You lose some of the smaller details.

In general, I’m not a big fan of what the manga did with Phantom Hourglass’s overall plot, and this even extends to how they presented the final boss, too, even though a lot of people like this interpretation. I do like this play on the final boss, but it feels like it just… lost what extra impact it could have had due to the plot getting shuffled around. Placing the bellumbeck fight before the fight against just Bellum just feels… wrong. In the game, the bellumbeck fight being the last thing gives it more impact and leaves Linebeck’s possible fate a bit murkier (if you don’t know what happens, of course), and I actually dislike how this shuffling of events erases a) the ghost ship battle and b) Linebeck using the phantom sword to protect link. Obviously, these have their manga parallels (Linebeck helping fight Bellum in the end; his waking up during the bellumbeck battle and that ensuing bit), but I feel like the game’s version of events do more to support his development and make it feel more meaningful.

So, my general feeling about manga Linebeck compared to game Linebeck is essentially that the manga version kinda got shafted by the story cuts and shuffling of events.

Aside from problems caused by the pacing of the manga (this thing is at breakneck speed it’s been a while since I read it and man that’s fast pacing), in terms of his actual characterization, he’s also a bit different from the game. A lot of his traits are exaggerated throughout, which has its ups and downs.

I’m just going to go through the negatives before going through what I like; I’m not really a fan of how… over-the-top and cartoonish he comes off at times. Even in the game he doesn’t really come off like that, and with some of the turns the manga takes, it makes it a little harder to pinpoint exactly what his deal is. He’s definitely treated as a joke for a majority of the manga, and he generally comes of as incompetent at points, too. It’s a little harder to track his character development since, due to story cuts and pacing, it comes about faster and with little visible warning. Overall, he’s a bit shallower in the manga, though mostly due to axing the part of the story where the majority of his character development happens.

I don’t hate this characterization, though. There are a few small details- usually things either unique to the manga or other things not really even touched in fan media- that I really like. Number one on that list is the visual detail of him sticking out his bottom lip at lot. It’s so fucking good and fits him perfectly it’s so childish and I could absolutely see him doing that within the context of the game’s plot.

I also love how awful he is in the manga. I love it when he’s genuinely terrible and morally dubious. There isn’t much of a ‘oh he’s actually good at heart’ thing going on until later and it’s great. I personally love characterizations of Linebeck where he’s genuinely kind of awful on purpose. He borders on antagonistic a few times and it’s great.

In terms of deeper interpretations… I’m not at invested in the manga, so there isn’t much, so I’ll compare notes with my game interpretation. Linebeck in the manga doesn’t give me the same general vibes as Linebeck in the game; he seems more comfortable talking to people, less affected by Ciela (less negatively affected, that is; meaning that in the manga she actually helps him towards his development, while in the game she seems to make it a bit harder for him), and there’s less evidence of autistic traits or stuff like that. I’m pretty sure that plenty of people have psychologically picked apart manga Linebeck, so I’m not really going to touch on that beyond he’s definitely got some issues, though different issues than his game counterpart, in my eyes.

#asks #zeldanamikaze #phantom hourglass #linebeck #yeah idk not much in-depth stuff? Ph manga is short so there’s less to inspect yknow #but god the tonal whiplash of randomly revisiting the ph manga #Fun #but yeah damn the manga is at a breakneck pace it’s insane #but we’re not here for narrative opinions it’s Linebeck opinions time and I don’t really have a whole bunch for the manga #other comments about him? #I don’t feel as much gender envy about manga Linebeck than I do game Linebeck #he’s also less queer in the manga ig he’s not canonically anything but yknow. He’s not straight in the game that’s for sure #I’m not big on the ph manga but I did enjoy rereading it #it’s just… it could have used more yknow. Fucking tragedy that half the story got cut but I bet there wasn’t much choice #tbh? I’d kill for a full length ph manga like tp is getting. Add bits about what linebecks doing when links adventuring #I would consider writing a ph novelization but that would awkwardly intersect with my current oneshots since it would include em #also I think my enjoyment of the ph manga is a bit dampened by jolene Existing but she’s better in the manga than she is in the game tbh #but she’s a whole can of god forsaken worms for me so moving on #uhhh yeah bellumbeck fight is very good but hot take? I really prefer the idea that linebeck is completely powerless during the final boss #idk how to explain why but just. it ties in with my idea of him working through some shit and therefore being extremely vulnerable #salty talks #also yeah ty for the ask it was kinda nice to just sit down and read through the ph manga for the first time in a while #also I fucking hope the keep reading is in the right spot it’s meant to be after the bit about manga linebecks arc feeling abrupt #bc every time I edit the draft the read more keeps getting chucked a few paragraphs down for some reason #Edit: LMFAO I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HIS MANGA BACKSTORY OH WELL #Edit 2: fuck OFF the read more got fucked up

having weird gender thoughts again

#do gendered pronouns make me uncomfortable because i havent seen/heard anyone use them for me in ages and im just unused #or is it because they genuinely dont match my gender identity? #i gave up on figuring out my gender ages ago and thats why i dont specify any pronouns for myself but hm. #something feels off about the gendered ones #he/him has always felt wrong because i know for a fact that whatever my gender is is not that but #i thought id be fine with she/her considering thats how everyone perceives and refers to me irl #does it only feel weird on the internet then? #but also i cant remember the last time i heard someone referring to me in third person irl #what is happening #so maybe they/them are my 'preferred' pronouns except i really dont feel a connection to them #like outright stating any pronouns for myself just feels Weird #it feels like making a decision im not prepared to make #same goes for labeling my gender at all #i dont know what a gender is supposed to feel like #i call things gender for fun but i dont actually know whether its gender envy or aesthetic attraction #hdjfskdhskdhdskhds #why must everything be so complicated #would i be comfortable being referred to with they/them irl? i dont know #maybe maybe not #when they said gender was a social construct they really were right huh #hhhhhhh anyway #ech.txt

it would be nice if actually NMH4 was smart and pulled a whole 'actually the real villain was inter-generational trauma all along!' and that it re-contextualised the overarching narrative of NMH to be about the about the Touchdown Family's struggle to end the toxic cycle of violence that their family has been stuck in.

#I DOUBT NMH4 will be that smart. (assuming it will ever happen) but it would be neat if they did lean into that #the reason why the ending of the cycle is so important is that it kinda adds a nice book end / call back to alice twilight #the whole ‘free us from the red crimson sea of madness!’ as a cry for help by assassins asking Travis to help them leave the life #of being an assassin still kinda gets to me #I mean the whole reason why NMH2 happens is that many of the characters are there BECAUSE of Travis. many envy him because he was the one #that became number one. AND WALKED AWAY. #plus in NMH2 travis says ‘we may be fucked up but assassins are human too’ and GAH HES SO RIGHT ABOUT THAT #like really one thing that does bother me about flesh and blood episode is that Travis is VERY NONCHALANT about killing henry. like hey. #that’s your brother who literally just told you not long ago that he saved you and (their) sister jeane from their father!!! #like?? wouldn’t you have a mental breakdown about that revelation?! like I get human emotions are complex #but like at least SOME FORM OF REMORSE WOULDVE MADE THE SCENE BETTER. even him perhaps scolding Sylvia for being nonchalant about the death #of Henry would have made the situation go from ‘oh god the horror’ to ‘don’t you dare say that about my brother #’he did everything to keep me and my sister safe and you have the audacity to think I was okay with killing him?!’ #like seriously where did that small bit of familial bonding/friendship development with Henry and Travis go after NMH2????? #like Henry didn’t just save Travis in the Nick of time with the jasper batt jr fight for NOTHING. #Travis failed to save jeane! so make him at least try to help Henry!! he’s his only real blood relative and knowing the person who’s done #their best to keep you out of very specific life threatening danger - I think you owe your sibling to try and save them from whatever #is happening to them that’s making them take irrational decisions of world domination #SUDA HIRE ME TO BE YOUR WRITER TRUST ME I CAN FIX YOUR SILLY LITTLE UNIVERSE I SWEAR #nomoreposting #suda51posting #nmh3 spoilers #shallow rambles #sorry I’m have deep thoughts about this series and it’s implications sorry #yeah I’m kinda in denial of the whole Henry’s domination of the world thing (not that I hate it!! good for him!!) #but also I wish there was much more build up and development before hand you know? the last time we got development was in NMH2 #<- NMH2 was released… 13 years ago and even then henry still doesn’t have that much screentime either so is that even character development #if you’re reading tags. dear goodness thank you for putting up with my ramblings. /GEN
