#zel rant

[drawingwithdonnie]

It is so frustrating that Tumblr, in all it's wisdom, will block a reblogged post if the OP from several several reblogs ago tagged said post as something (say, purple), and if I have "purple" filtered out either by tag or included word, I don't see it.

But if Tumblr, who thinks I like purple bc I like red and blue, and images with both in it, DESPITE ME BLACK LISTING THE TAG, it will still go "hey here is a suggested Tumblr all about purple. The username, the pfp, the header, three suggested posts, all in your face and ALL VERY PURPLE!!! I am helping you find posts and blogs you definitely like. The algorithm is Wonderful!!"

Like no, Tumblr, I don't want to see purple. I blocked it for a reason. Leave me alone.

#if anyone can somehow guess what this post is about i will delete my blog /j #also i just. nf g gng fmf g have to get my thoughts Out™ bc i keep getting jumpscared #zel rant #zel post #tumblr please don't let me down anymore thank you

Ngl To/tk is rising among the ranks of games like 3h where I'm becoming convinced ppl played a different game than I did based on their hot takes

#fandom rant #like.. that post with thousands of notes calling it borderline fascist bc it's 'obsessed with the past' like #fascinating! anyways what happened to that past civilization? #like. u'd think that would be relevant but alas pointing out the text of the damn game would make your analysis wrong so that's inconvenien #also to the ppl criticizing Zel's character I'm more willing to give benefit of the doubt if you thought it was bad #but I am puzzled by the ppl arguing - simultaneously - that it felt like gratuitous punishment but also that she should have died #or stayed in dragon form forever instead bc... those don't actually make sense together #OH GOD I just remembered the 'she should have stayed in the past and mastered her powers!!' post #like at least pretend you played b/ot/w and realize that this was already explored

*gets emotionally attached to my version of a specific character, even tho i know that this version will never exist canonically*

#despise pre calamity botw Zelda #but my version of post calamity zel? good. much better. #basically #I put myself into link’s shoes (boots ig ) and give him what I wanted in my experiences #I won’t be able to fix my problems. So I might as well fix Link’s #anyways I might make a rant post about her later. If anyone is willing to see my opinions on that #jays being dumb again

goddess tears

summary: Zelda recieves a message from Hylia

MIpha has been cursed and might not be able to be saved

I know you love her… Princess Mipha of the Zora…

Zelda awoke, blinking her eyes rapidly. That dream had been– peculiar to say the least. The moon had been high in the sky, radiating a soft, blue light that bathed the meadow. The silent princesses covered the ground, reflecting that soft blue light as they swayed in the gentle breeze. Mipha was there, staring at her with such a passion Zelda had never seen Mipha express. There was a nondescript pain behind her eyes, pain that Zelda felt pang in her own chest. MIpha reached out to Zelda, reaching and reaching. The ground shook, collapsing in on itself right under Mipha’s feet. She screamed, but no sound left her lips. Mipha fell limbs flailing, reaching towards Zelda as the ground closed around Mipha’s trembling body.

You can save… her…

She touched her cheek, stunned when she felt hot tears. Why was she crying? Only recently had Zelda said goodbye to Mipha and her Zora party. Yes, Mipha was a dear friend but she had come to discuss water reclamation design plans not talk frivolously. They both had their separate duties to fulfill, there wasn’t really time for idle chatter as much as Zelda would love that. Zelda loved to talk about the things she’s passionate about to the people she cares for. As much as she loved talking with Link, he always had a quick witted remark or an idea she had never thought of. Link was stunningly brilliant and she was endlessly grateful he was both her Royal Knight and her best friend. But there was a different feeling when she was with Mipha, a lightness in her chest and her head feeling full of cotton followed. It was a wonderful but puzzling feeling, what caused it was unknown to Zelda.

There was no reason for her to stay in bed at this point, regardless of it still being dark out, not like she could possibly fall back asleep after that. Her heart rate had slightly picked up in speed, as she padded across the hall to Link’s room. She hoped he wasn’t sleeping otherwise she would feel incredibly guilty even though Link truly wouldn’t mind. Link was an amazing friend, always would listen to her even about her recent research rants which could go on for hours. Zelda wished she could return the favor to Link but she wasn’t nearly as good at listening to people intently.

She knocked softly on Link’s door, inside she could hear a loud thud, groaning and then the door opened. Link rubbed his eyes, yawning before acknowledging Zelda’s presence. He waved sleepily, “Zel, I went to bed like 3 hours ago. What's keeping you up?” Link signed slowly, still very drowsy. Zelda felt bad, she knew he often stayed up late but now he was up with barely any sleep because of her.

The look in Link’s eyes made Zelda feel less guilty, he was genuinely worried about her knocking on his door so late. “Well– I had a dream and. And I was wondering if you had any advice. I had this dream and I think what I saw was. Maybe a vision from Hylia.” Zelda blushed, if Link knew she was in love with Mipha what would he think? Falling for a Zora, the heir to the Zora throne no less. It would never work out even if Zelda was madly in love with her. 

Link tapped a finger to his chin before ushering Zelda into his room. They both sat on his bed, huddled in the corner where Link’s plushie hoard resides. Zelda snatched a red chuchu plushie and squeezed it tight. This one was her favorite out of Link’s collection, big, round and so squishy. Link chuckled, tossing a smaller plushie at Zelda’s head. “So–” Link began to sign but paused, considering his words. “What was the dream– vision about?” He looked at Zelda expectantly, waiting for her to speak.

The silence hung heavy in the air, Zelda wasn’t even sure where to begin. She took in a deep breath, “I think Hylia wants me to save Mipha. Or something like that, I’m really not sure.” Zelda relayed the rest of the dream to Link but left out the part where the voice said she loved Mipha. She wasn’t quite ready to tell Link yet, maybe someday but she was still working through accepting it herself. Zelda was soon to be crowned as Queen of Hyrule, she wasn’t supposed to indulge in crushes or relationships that wouldn’t end in marriage. Being royalty meant relationships were different and more complicated. Marrying exclusively for love was hard to come by in royal history, though it did happen. Nothing was completely off limits in that regard. But it was so much more difficult.

This was one of many reasons Zelda loathed her position as sole heir to the throne. Zelda was a hopeless romantic, all she wanted was a fairytale romance with a person who she loved more than anyone else. She wanted to be swept off her feet, held in someone’s arms and to be loved and cherished forever. Zelda’s had crushes in the past, but none of which held that sparkle of what she imagined love to be like. That sparkle she got with Mipha.

Link waved a hand in front of Zelda’s face, trying to grab her attention. "You think Hylia wants you to go see Mipha? Maybe something’s already happening and we need to go see her. I’m obviously coming with but I do think it’s a good idea we go see if there’s something happening. We can send a letter in the morning but for now get some rest.” 

There was a point to Link’s arguments, if Hylia was warning Zelda of something then she needed to know if that something was happening already. A chill coursed Zelda, if something was happening, to Mipha or Hyrule; Zelda wouldn’t forgive herself for any harm that comes to either. Romantic or not Zelda cared for Mipha deeply and would do anything to protect her. To protect Hyrule as well, to protect all that Zelda loves, that is her deepest desire.

“Ok, I’m leaving first thing in the morning. You don’t have to come with me but I already know you will. Can’t seem to get rid of you.” Zelda smiled as Link shoved her playfully into the pile of plushies. 

“It’s definitely not a choice for me to come with you. I’ll follow you to the ends of the world and beyond that too. You’re my closest and most dear friend, you’re stuck with me for good. Now shut up and go to sleep if we leave in the morning.” Link yawned before burrowing under the blankets and pile of plushies.

Zelda paused before asking, “Can I sleep with you? I don’t really feel like I can be alone right now.” Link stuck out an arm from his blanket nest, giving Zelda a thumbs up and shoved aside some of the plushies to make room for her beside him. They hadn’t done this since they were children, sleeping in each other’s arms and protecting the other from nightmares and bad thoughts. She slipped under the blankets and sighed as Link wrapped his arms around her and quickly fell asleep. Zelda was not so fortunate, taking much longer to succumb to sleep before the dreams of Mipha returned. 

⟡ ⟡ ⟡

The sun rose far too quickly for Zelda’s liking, her sleep was fitful and plagued by strange dreams of Mipha. Ones of Mipha staring at Zelda with such pain before turning away and diving off an endless peak. Each scene in her dreams all ended the same, Mipha disappearing or supposedly dying of her own accord. But what could this mean? Mipha might be self sacrificing but that never meant she would die without a reason. This wasn’t right.

Link groaned, climbing out of bed lazily, rubbing his eyes trying to wake up. He shook Zelda’s shoulder gently who was still laying in bed clutching the red chuchu plushie in a vice grip. She swatted his hand away before getting up, her hair a messy halo around her head and dark circles under her eyes. Zelda trudged back to her room to get dressed, taking the chuchu plushie with her. 

Both packed quickly, getting their horses ready to go and were off towards Zora’s Domain before the sun had fully risen. They rode at a quick pace, stopping only when necessary. There was no guarantee that something was wrong, but if Zelda’s vision-like dreams meant anything something terrible might happen soon.

Zelda had horrid thoughts the entire trip, thinking of death or serious harm coming to Mipha. Mipha was at the very least a dear friend to Zelda and at most the love of her life. Zelda didn’t know if she believed in having a ‘one true love’ but Mipha was the closest she would ever get. Mipha was kind, fiercely loyal, gentle and loving to everyone. There wasn’t a single thing that Zelda found was unattractive about Mipha, she was stunning and had a wonderful soul. 

There was a chance Zelda would never have a chance to confess or to truly love Mipha in the way she had always dreamed of. And that was Zelda’s worst fear.

No but the thing with tp zelink is

People can ship it if they want idc, I’m actually indifferent towards all three ships (zel, Midna and ilia) but I’ve had people compare tp zelink to alttp zelink and tell me that

“Oh I’m also in the minority, people also don’t ship tp a lot and blablabla” I don’t quite remember what exactly they said but something along those lines yknow

And honestly

Yeah?? There’s a reason tp zelink is not that common? They share like five minutes of screen time?? And sure maybe alttp/oox/albw zelink does too but at least there’s actually canon romance?? So don’t compare these two, thank you

Sorry for the rant I had to let that go, feel free to ignore this

LITERALLY THEYRE TOGETHER FOR LIKE 15 MINUTES AND 90% OF THAT IS ARGUABLY ZELDA BEING KINDA HOMOSEXUAL FOR MIDNA

Anyways sibling-like relationship between tp zel & link 5ever

God i so need to read up on the actual plot of alttp cause like zelda sounds like she actually has a role compared to albw zel (ily sm girl but ive seen/heard hilda more than you)

#kinda real for the whole being indifferent for the tp link ships tho #unfortunately we all should know where i stand on them #love my guys 5ever they mean so much to me

FOUR KNIGHTS OF THE APOCALYPSE THOUGHTS PT. 2

The Demon Realm Arc

From a technical standpoint, the Demon Realm arc isn't finished, but it's almost there.

I really enjoyed it. I love being able to see Zeldris and Gelda again. I love being able to see Zeldris as this fatherly figure to Percival. Speaking of that... I'm kind of disappointed that we didn't get to see much of Zeldris and Tristan... Zel had that sweet goodbye with Percy and I love it, but why didn't Tristan get a goodbye... I mean I know Tristan isn't really familiar with the Demon Realm and who knows how long ago they have seen each other before this... But Percy is the same way, sure he probably stayed with Zel longer but... not even a pat on the head... not even like words of encouragement. Zel I love you but that's your nephew. King has more canonical interactions with Lancelot and he hasn't even appeared yet and Lance runs around a lot. Zel didn't even train Tristan. And I know I mentioned that Mael could be the perfect person to train Tristan but still... Tristan got bodied by Schwarz and disrespected both his parents and... he just... sulked... for the majority of the supposed training portion of the arc.

TRISTAN LIONES!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!

Then again, he did beat Schwarz while he and his companions were fused into this giant monster by the Chaos staff, granted Gawain hyped him up for it. Despite my frustration, this is actually really good. It sets up Tristan's journey as a character and his development later on.

Going back to Zeldris... My boy didn't even get a chance to fight anything. He didn't get the chance to flex!! Howzer flexed all the way back at Cant, Gowther flexed, Meliodas fought Arthur, Melascula and Galland got revived... even Guila managed to flex with that demon power of hers. And my sweet boy Zel got nothing... Blasphemy!! Absolute Blasphemy!!! I do not approve of this!!!

Anyway... The fight with the knights is okay... Tristan proved himself to Schwarz, Gawain had her moment, Lancelot was there being a badass as usual and Percy had his fight which is really cool and if you've seen the raws for 127... yeah... that.

Regardless of my Rant, I did really enjoy this arc, I just wish there are more of Zeldris.

This is gonna contain spoilers for Baldur's gate 3 act 3

So I'm currently romancing Gale and I got to act 3, this isn't my first playthrough and I really wanted Gale to be kidnapped by Orin so I can rescue my pathetic sopping wet loser husband like a damsel in distress (he deserves to be treated like a princess).

So I'm going to talk to Gortash and he tells me there's a shapeshifter in my group (I already have Halsin and Lae`zel in my party bc I REALLY want Gale to go missing). I go back to camp all excited that my bbgirl is gonna need rescuing and who ends up being kidnapped? The kid.

The fucking ginger child that wants your money and your food at the start of act 3. I hate this kid so much she has ruined this run for me. I kept reloading, reloading to much earlier saves, reloading to the end of act 2 basically in the hopes anything changes but no.

I had hoped by being really mean to the child she would take the hint that she isn't welcome in my camp, I had Astarion tell her that bc I still didn't wanna hurt her virtual feelings. So he told her she can't stay with us. I go to camp to swap party members and who's waiting there for me? The ginger abomination.

I was getting a little frustrated so I tried to murder her, didn't work she just regenerated, tried killing her cat didn't work either. Told her to fuck off again, one last time, she left, I went to bed and low and behold who do I fucking see??

The spawn of Satan herself, in the flesh (actually accurate bc this is Orin shapeshifting and she killed the cat)

This was my rant on Yenna, I almost hate her as much as the gith kids in the creche torturing the cat in the box.

got asked my opinion on the new zel game bc ive historically been a fan of them and they wanted to connect casually with me on something and i had to mentally restrain myself from going on a two hour rant about just how absolutely dogshit i think that game is and how much i hate nintendo in general

#zenith.txt #literally just had to smile awkwardly and go um. wasnt my fav and move topics as fast as possible #there is so much wrong with that game (& wild too but i do like the whiff of a story & characters of that so i give it just a little slack) #but this 'sequel' just made all the problems the first had and made it a million times worse like everytime i think about it i get mad #if you see me reblogging art about this game its solely bc i think the art is good not bc i like the game #i will always support banger fanart okay 👍 #it was just. so bad. from literally every perspective #'theyve always been gameplay over story so why are you mad' bc the gameplay is ass too

[demonprincezeldris]

The cats outside are having a loud fight and I have to wait for them to be done to be able to sleep so here's a scenario that could work in any AU.

Zeldris and Mael need to collaborate on a mission/project. They both have important separate tasks. When approaching the final step of the mission/deadline, Mael fucks something up without noticing and Zeldris has to frantically rush to make things work on time. He barely manages to sort everything out and is stressed out of his mind. When Mael appears, still oblivious, Zeldris unleashes his anger at him.

"What the FUCK Mael?! How could you mess up THAT BAD! I barely managed to fix your shit! I can't do my work while stressing about your failed job too!!"

It slowly downs on Mael that he messed up, bad, and he tries his best to place a sentence in his partner's rant. He tries to apologize and offers anything he can to make it up to Zel. Eventually, he promises that that very evening, he'll arrange for Zeldris to have everything he likes. He knows he can't undo what happened and he can't just fix problems with doting afterwards but stress relief is the first and the least he can do.

"I'll order take out from this restaurant you really like, we'll play your favorite music and I'll give you a massage until you're fully relaxed. If you allow me, I'll spoil you in bed for as long as you want me to after."

Zeldris is still fuming but considers the offer.

"I better not remember my own name by the time you're done"

And he leaves.

It's not quite what Mael meant, but he takes it as a yes and happily strolls behind his lover, taking mental notes of all the tasks he needs to perform asap.

[zelzenik]

why are ppl now acting as though others are hating on Sokka for simply demanding that Katara be granted the same respect that he is throughout the majority of the fandom?

no one ever bashes Sokka for getting emotional about his mom or for being “obnoxious” for trying to learn how to waterbend and break gender norms or for taking care of the Gaang. and if they do, then they’re a very small minority.

instead, he’s lifted up as the feminist icon of the whole Avatar-verse, and Katara is shoved beneath the water as though she did nothing throughout the whole damn show. the same thing happens with other female characters like Toph, Suki, and Yue.

that’s a legitimate problem!

no one is saying that Sokka didn’t make leaps and bounds in terms of his mindset change and growth throughout the series, but that does not mitigate the fact that Katara was the one who broke various stereotypes and overcame tremendous hurdles that were placed before her because of her gender.

the fact that people are implying that acknowledging Katara’s growth and accomplishments is wrong and equivalent to hating on Sokka is ludicrous.

if people (especially women of color) are demanding respect for Katara or Suki or Toph or Yue (and in turn, other women of color), they aren’t attacking Sokka! most of them don’t even mention Sokka. how can people not see how utterly ridiculous such an idea is?

gosh, i love Sokka, but the way people idolize him and make him out to be something he’s not is infuriating.

Sokka is not the feminist icon of Avatar: the Last Airbender. period. end of story. that’s not Sokka hate. that’s just plain fact.

#not really a meta but #sokka #katara #suki #toph #yue #pro katara #pro suki #pro toph #pro yue #loving sokka and not twisting his character can coexist #katara is the feminist icon of avatar #suki is the feminist icon of avatar #toph is the feminist icon of avatar #yue is the feminist icon of avatar #more like elsie rant #but #yeah #i'm tight rn #zel meta

4, 10, 37

4. do you like your name? why?

Okay, this is complicated (damn why do I become so thoughtful when it comes to questions lmao). The first name people in my real life call me I have a love-hate relationship with it. I’ll just say what that is (not exposing myself too much since my last name will never be revealed): Jessica. I mean it’s technically a second first name in my birth certificate but I digress. I do like the name (Shakespeare created it and it means wealthy, gotta speak that into my life lol) But, I hate that people are quick to give me the FUCKING NICKNAME JESS (I’m so sorry for cursing but my blood boils just thinking of it) Like who gives you the right to call me that? (I know it’s overdramatic .-. I’m so sorry for showing my inner karen) But if I have a choice I allow people to call me by my third first name/middle name Becca. 

10. how would you describe your style? The style I admire the most is the cottagecore fashion style/90s fashion, but in real life, I’m more of a comfort girl with cardigans and jeans. I own hundreds of sweaters and cardigans and will wear them even in the summer sometimes. 

37. do you read a lot? whats your favorite book? 

Yup, I read all the time lol (nerd alert here) My all time favorite book? It would have to be....the Poldark series by Winston Graham (I love his style and try to use it in my own writing) but a current favorite is Qui’s Ragnatela (just exposed myself again /shot)

my dumbass sitting here thinking how happy i am with what smash did with this zelda (giving love to fav incarnation alttp/albw is like... free pass sorry i’m BUT A SIMPLE BIH I KNOW SHE’S JUST GENKI AND NOTHING ELSE BUT LET ME LIVE SHE’S LIKE THE SECOND MOST OBSCURE ZEL RIGHT BEHIND ZELDA 1 and 2 pls let me live) but totally understands the frustrations in poor characterization since they decided to water down TP zel who was a depressed yet wise ruler who’s benevolence and empathy was fucking astonishing to the point she gives up her OWN LIFE TO ANOTHER CHARACTER to just... nothing™ but only shades of this and how dirty they did my son lucas from mother 3 like

#I FEEL!!!!! LIKE PEOPLE DON'T GIVE TP ZEL ENOUGH CREDIT BECAUSE SHE HAS SO LITTLE SCENES #if she had more screen time like sky i'm sure others would see that hey she's not emotionally cold #but was fucking depressed since her kingdom more or less fell #like did people really think she was gonna throw a party once link the hero arrives?? hA!!!! #it's been a while since i've played tp but listen i will always defend this zel. she gives up everything for her people & ppl she cares 4 #IT'S SAD IN A WAY BECAUSE IT MAKES ME THINK THAT SHE DOESN'T THINK ABOUT HERSELF TOO MUCH #ooc postings. #ALSO IT'S SUBTLE BUT SHE DOES SMILE IN THE GAME I BELIEVE!!! #feel free to correct me on this tp nerds like i said it's been a long long while #but i remember a small smile she gives when she asks link for help in defeating ganon #during the scene where she summons the spirits to get the light arrows #anyhow tp zel is not a 'stone cold bitch' is very compassionate and if ppl read they can see this #AND LUCAS!!!! SWEET SWEET LUCAS #i can write a paragraph but i already ranted with tp zel so like :')

I've only been on here for a month, but the Loki fanbase has without a doubt some of the most racist fans on the internet. I've seen a lot of different Loki sketches that don't include Boastful Loki, and a lot of people just refer to him as "Black Loki," as if he doesn't have a name. People who thirst for a FUCKING ALLIGATOR then got angry when Boastful Loki betrayed the Loki's. Forgetting that Classic Loki did the same thing to Kid Loki!
