Guys the idea keeps growing.

So I rewatched a playthrough of Twilight Princess recently and it has given me some thoughts. First and foremost: why don’t BotW/TotK have fishing???! There is precedent for fishing with a pole in Twilight Princess (possibly other games I just forgot) and both of those newer games have fish! But you just grab them while swimming. I get it’s an extra item to tote around, so I’m not questioning the game devs’ choices, but can’t you imagine sitting by one of those scenic Hyrule lakes, waiting for the fish to bite and watching the clouds? I wanna do that!!

In addition, my gf had some ideas for other activities, one of which I realized we’ve also already done in Twilight Princess. The tutorial for TP (spoilers ig?) is essentially you “teaching” the kids of your village how to use a sword. I think that would be so cute for a cozy game! It lets you tap into some of that adventurous spirit from the source material, swinging and flipping and slashing and all, but with wooden swords and cute kiddos! So whenever you get tired of farming and fishing you can still go hit things, but it fits within the theme.

Idk I just keep thinking about this, if I knew anything about video games I would genuinely try to make it (Nintendo be damned /j).

My concept for a cozy Legend of Zelda game (details below)

I love Zelda games so so much, from Twilight Princess to Breath of the Wild, but here’s the thing: they always end before I can properly enjoy the comforts of Hyrule! I want to farm pumpkins and build a house and do side quests while not having to fight off bokoblins every thirty seconds. (I am bad at the fight things…)

So I propose a Zelda cozy game! Set after a traditional Ganon fight or apocalypse or what have you, this Link and Zelda actually get to live in a peaceful Hyrule. You still play as Link (or perhaps in a co op mode you could play Link and Zelda) but you get to build your home, farm crops and sell them, do fun side quests, and explore to your heart’s content. And maybe—just maybe—you can pet the dogs. Maybe even adopt some. 👀

And who knows? Maybe there’s companions who helped you in the battle who would love a visit from their friend. Or perhaps Zelda has work to do rebuilding and reconnecting the people of Hyrule, and Link is needed as her protector. There’s plenty of story available and plenty of good character relationships to build. But in between those beats, you can go home to your cottage, make a pot of pumpkin soup, and curl up in bed with your puppy. Sounds ideal, right?

Anyway, I’m just a little mad we don’t get to hang out in post-Calamity Hyrule in Breath of the Wild… So I came up with this to compensate. Thoughts?

🎉‘Tis the season, my friends!🎁

I’m posting the gnomes again this year because they are my favorite! (They were a commission from last year so I didn’t get the chance to post them until after New Years. Enjoy the on-time holiday content!)

This is also a not-so-subtle plug for my 🤩 COMMISSIONS AND SHOPS!! 🤩 The gnome trio is available as a print on both Redbubble and TeePublic, and commissions such as this can be found on my Ko-Fi! If you want a commission by Christmas… it’s probably not gonna happen. But hey, I’ve always believed that a late gift just makes the holiday longer! So do whatever you want!

I know the year has had a million ups and downs, but to my sketchy folks, I hope you all have a peaceful end to the year and that you get mostly cash money from Santa.

Counterargument: all language comes about through necessity and repeated use.

Therefore, y’all and youse are official English second person pronouns.

So is “chat.” :)

problems only a linguist has #1

Why does English refuse the notion of a unique second person plural? Almost every other language has a word for "you all" - in french, it's "vous" (which also serves as a formal "you"); in Spanish, it's either "vosotros" or "ustedes", depending on where you're from; in Icelandic, it's "þið"; even in Latin, a dead classical language, they have one - namely, "vos" and its whole family of declensions. Even Old English has one - "ge" is, similarly to French, used both as a second person plural and as a singular honorific. Not often you see something evolving to lose a vital component, but here we are. Everyone has decided that clearly distinguishing between addressing one person and addressing multiple people is extremely important. Everyone, that is, save English! Why must English always be the odd one out? Like, sure, we've got "y'all" and "youse" and "you guys," but those are a little something called colloquialisms - descriptive phrases that speakers came up with because their language was inadequate. We have so many ways of addressing multiple people because we're completely helpless without filling the second person plural vacuum.

So, all you English speakers out there, join me today in replacing the basic "you" or "y'all" in your vocabulary with "vou." Everyone will be really confused for a while, but then, just maybe, it'll catch on, and then everyone will be really happy and also still confused as to why we didn't do this sooner.

Vou can do it!

Hey folks!

Reminder that NOVEMBER 25 is the deadline for holiday commissions! If you want an art, commission now or forever hold your peace. (Until next year at least.)

(Edited, I said Nov 12th at first, no clue why lol)

I can change the world

Starting with the world inside me.

[scesketch]

11/6/24

You celebrate the end of the world

and raise a glass to death.

You look at my life and rejoice

that I can no longer live it.

You revel in my despair.

Why?

I watch in horror as my home turns against me,

as the place I was taught to venerate

incinerates my rights.

We fought so hard for those.

I watch the tidal wave

of your hatred sweep towards me,

bearing the bodies of those who tried to shore up against it,

the bodies of my friends.

We fought so hard to survive.

We were so ready to start living.

If your way is the only way,

shouldn’t it be good?

If your life is the only life,

shouldn’t it be happy?

If your right is the only right,

shouldn’t it be safe?

If your truth is the only truth,

shouldn’t it be kind?

If you do this out of love, perhaps love is not such a good thing.

Mourn me when I am no longer myself.

Sweep the ashes of my life into the dustpan

and behold the remnants of

the dream I was reaching for.

See me as I am,

in the raiment I have chosen,

the raiment in which you have buried me.

Fear me when from ashes I rise.

I will not die today.

I am a liar and a fool :)

Hey folks!!

Life has been tough and I’m struggling to get art out right now. I know I take a lot of hiatuses, but I promise this isn’t one of them! I’ll give you all more art as soon as I’m ready. I already have another commission lined up, so once it’s done I’ll post that. And the book is coming along nicely, too. I have a lot planned, so don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere, just resting.

Love you all, my sketchy people!
