they hated illario because he was a d1 yapper who was bad at assassinating people and was so annoyingly drunk and grief stricken at his cousin’s wake that viago had to drug him to shut him up (so what if he was also the guy who set his cousin up to die/disappear) . and also for working with the venatori and selling out the antivan crows i guess.

TotK DLC idea!

The screen is black. You don’t hear anything for a long time. Then, faintly, in the distance, you can hear it.

Link. Link. Open your eyes.

While the line echoes familiarity, the voice does not.

Or. Well. It does. Because while it isn’t Zelda, it’s a familiar man’s voice speaking gently, so gently you almost don’t recognize it because there’s no way he ever spoke like this in the main game.

But he is now. And instead of a golden light being the first image you see before the screen shows Link awakening… you see gloom floating in the air. The image cuts to a Hylian waking up who… doesn’t look like Link from TotK?? He’s different, still small in stature, with slightly tanner skin, platinum light blonde hair, and red eyes. But… something’s wrong with his forehead. There’s a weird line on it.

This new character you apparently are gonna be playing in the DLC blearily blinks his eyes open, clearly groggy and too weak to really move. But then that line on his forehead moves a hair, it splits apart, and you realize it’s a freaking eye, red and yellow and it’s like the ones on gloom hands and oh gosh what the hell is it doing on his forehead—

Link realizes something is off and his eyes blow wide, his hands reach for his forehead and he screams in agony and terror, only for someone to scoop him into a hug to soothe him.

And suddenly you realize why that voice was eerily familiar.

It’s Ganondorf. He resurrected you from the era of the Imprisoning War. You, who have a history with him and his family. You, who he wants to protect, who he views as his kid, who he calls a prince and says he’ll keep you safe by controlling your body with his dark magic if he has to.

Welcome to Tears of the Kingdom: Hero’s Shadow.

You have to play a long gone Hero who was resurrected. Ganondorf, who is still recovering his strength in preparation for killing the current Hero, tasks you with finding your betrothed, his daughter, as well as his wife. They’re buried somewhere in the Depths like you were. He wants you to find their burial sites so he can use his secret stone to resurrect them like he did you, and control them as well. Which is doubly bad when you realize his wife was the original Sage of Lightning. He gives you free reign to wander once you go through a tutorial (he tests you to see if you’ve recovered enough strength), because he knows you love wandering and collecting things. Your own personal objective, however, is trying to help Hyrule from the Depths, to break free from Ganondorf’s control, because Link would rather set himself on fire than let Ganondorf resurrect and control the love of his life and his mother-in-law. Your best hope is to find shards of the shattered Master Sword to try and stab the eye on Dark Link’s forehead and break the control Ganondorf has on you. Until you can, though, the monsters are your allies, you can teleport across the Depths by manifesting out of the gloom created by gloom hands (just like what Phantom Ganon does), and the world below is your oyster. If you get too close to sword shards when gloom hands are nearby, Ganondorf can see your attempt and immediately takes control of your body, and no matter what button you press Link just walks back to Ganondorf’s location and stays there until you get a chance to try again.

You start with three hearts, all empty looking like when gloom hurts you, and if you get injured they just shatter. Whenever they all shatter, you respawn at Ganondorf’s location because his gloom hands came and rescued you from dying. The only way you can get more hearts is by collecting poes and offering them to the statues in the Depths. You can communicate with the spirits of soldiers, who may give you combat tips or info about the area. If you gain enough of Ganondorf’s trust, he’ll let you command monsters, and he might even let you wander the Surface (under his supervision) during a blood moon.

You learn of Link’s and Ganondorf’s history through discovering ancient relics/texts that trigger memories. This connection between you and Ganondorf stems back to time before the war, well over ten thousand years ago. Link was engaged to Ganondorf’s daughter, but during the Imprisoning War the family fought against the demon king. Ganondorf did love his family, but he loved power more. Link sacrificed himself, letting himself get mortally wounded to save Rauru from a killing blow. Gan held him as he died, and it allowed Link to both beg him to stop and stab him in the heart with a light shard. The shard didn’t kill him, but it was what Rauru connected with when he hit him in the chest, allowing him to seal Ganondorf away. Ganondorf still wants the world, but his love for his family is still present, though now twisted, so he thinks he can control Link and everyone else with his dark magic in order to keep them safe and in line. Once the threat of the current Hero is eliminated, the world will be his, and his family will be safe. As such, he treats you, Link, the player, like a stubborn child, reeling you in, but does so in a horrific way, torturing Link by controlling him.

You have to break free of this and stop him, and the only hope you have is the distant call of a sword spirit…

to be quite honest shadow's characterization in the fsa manga was always something that raised more questions than answers for me because it's like. he's got a mile-wide inferiority complex about being link's shadow we all know this but when did he have the time to develop that inferiority complex in the first place. how long was he lurking around after ganon created him before the events of the manga actually started. what did he witness or hear or both to make him so fucking angry

Yes Hello to all my fellow Miss Lemon fans out there:

If you love her as much as I do, then 6.2 Hickory Dickory Dock is the episode for you

Now let us all just take a moment out of our busy day to bask in her glory:

That coat with those hats?? ICONIC she has such a flawless style

and this little scene where she's like 'this is just a quirk of Mr. Poirot's, don't worry about it' fellas help she's so cute

also HELP lads she took Poirot's comment about Inspector Japp's 'healthy appetite' way too literally!! LEMON SOLE! she's so funny aagh

Also she looks really damn good in burgundy wow

Also you know I hate the trope where guys tell ladies to take their glasses off and let their hair flow in the wind because they'd somehow be 'sexier' or whatever. That is just simply not true. Case in point: Look at how cute Miss Lemon is in her glasses!!

Just. Everyone just. Look at my favourite girl. Look at her!!! Her filing system is perfect! Her filing system could kick your ass!!!

My dad and I were chatting before bed when he said "damn shame Republicans hate Democrats too much because you almost saved the United Healthcare ceo"

And I stared at him in confusion until I remembered I convinced Democrats to write the active shooter alert system bill in 2022 & Republicans said no. Since my Twitter is gone, the thread of me @ everyone is gone. And when Trump got re-elected, I removed the video discussing the bill concept for public comments. It fully slipped my mind because I went from pulling teeth & being reluctantly patient to full on cussing, cursing, and hexing the government by the end of 2023.

I hope that Twitter DC staffer is having a good laugh- I bet their bosses are pissed wwwwww

I don't remember the exact wording I wrote to the White House when I cussed out Biden for funding war crimes (2023) & the bill itself (2022) but I did list consequences I foresaw that are happening now, so suck to suck if nobody listened & are on the receiving end of massive hexes

I guess my dad is right, the GOP technically killed Brian Thompson in 2022

So a concept I’ve been thinking for a "what if for Undertale yellow"was if instead of Chujin it was Ceroba who died instead how would things play exactly?

Like Kanako falling down and being sent to the lab, Steamworks with Clover, heck if Chujin would use his daughter mask against Clover? 

"In short if Chujin had to deal with Ceroba guilt and depression instead ;) "

(oh and to be clear i’m not saying this as an Underswap take with their role swap just the idea itself)

What if Ceroba had died instead of Chujin. Oof, there's a lot of ways that can go.

Firstly, I don't think he'd inject Kanako with the serum because as he said in his videotape, he wants her to live a happy life unaffected by his endeavors. Kanako is very important to him, so important that he doesn't want to burden her... But Ceroba is tasked with carrying on his impossible legacy (😔).

(Ceroba's reasoning for injecting Kanako is because she's so devoted to Chujin and the idea of fulfilling his desires that when Kanako brings up how perfecting Chujin's serum would make him happy, Ceroba's instincts/judgement as a mother is overridden and she injects Kanako with Chujin's serum. She wants to make Chujin happy and thinks he's perfect and puts blind faith into the idea that Chujin wants the best for her/their family and would never want to hurt them, not realizing that... Chujin had no idea what he was doing. That's her fatal flaw, not Chujin's.)

So, unless Kanako finds out about Chujin's secret lab under the kotatsu and injects herself when he's not looking, I can't see the events of canon playing out. That doesn't mean you can't do something interesting with it though!

Maybe after Ceroba passes away (she finds out about his lab/experiments and decides to test the serum on herself to "take the load" off Chujin, only for it to backfire spectacularly and kill her), Chujin becomes more reclusive. His wife died. Ceroba was also the one who was supporting the family financially while Chujin was volunteering his services around the Underground, so now he doesn't have that support either and has to get a job to support himself and Kanako. And as a working single dad, he's unable to be there for his daughter as much as he wants to, leaving her a bit neglected. He's got a job to focus on, a house to maintain, Kanako to raise and look after, a wife to mourn, and his experiments to work on (I can't see him doing his volunteer services anymore. He wouldn't have the time/energy to manage that on top of everything) (I also think he'd stop injecting himself with Integrity's SOUL goo, at least for a bit. Chujin knows that his SOUL experiments are risky, he's not going to potentially kill/hurt himself when he's the only one who can look after his daughter).

While I doubt that Chujin would intentionally enlist the help of Starlo, Starlo (and the Sunnysides) care about Kanako and would step up and help look after her. Maybe, Kanako just so happens to be in the Wild East when Clover stumbles in. Maybe Starlo partners them up together in the Feisty Five missions he cooks up to take Kanako's mind off her mother's death. Maybe, Kanako overheard what Chujin says about needing a "pure-hearted" human to make the serum that killed Mommy and Clover is a super nice person so surely it'd work with their SOUL. I don't know, just throwing ideas out here :)

I can't see Starlo willingly letting Clover go with Chujin if he asked though. Chujin has already proven that he despises humans (Starlo and Chujin have very differing politics when it comes to humans), so if he was showing a vested interest in Clover, Starlo would suspect that something's up and wouldn't let them anywhere near him. But if it was Kanako asking to play with her new playmate? Pretty please with a cherry on top? Well, he would let it go, who can say no to that adorable face?

And what about the judgement after the fight? If Clover fought Kanako, then it'd be a story of a daughter stepping up and trying to help make her Daddy proud and return her family to a sense of normalcy, even if it entails murdering an innocent person: debatable if it's worth sparing her or not (though most likely they would because Kanako is a kid. She has no idea of the gravity of what she was getting into). However, if Clover fought Chujin, I can't see them being merciful. He killed a human and then experimented on their SOUL, and then he tried to kill an innocent human (themself!) to experiment on their SOUL. Clover's whole reasoning for coming into the Underground in the first place was to seek justice for the five humans, I can't see them letting that go so easily. The only thing going for Chujin in this instance is him having a daughter at home (and even then, she has other people that she can live with should Chujin die. His ass is COOKED!).

Tl;dr, Chujin surviving and Ceroba being the one to die would change everything about the second half of UTY.

my head fucking hurts. the way dream talks is so so manipulative and he says so much unnecessary shit oml he reminds me of my friend who is an avid mansplainer. its literally so so exhausting listening to someone who talks like this

[bugsbenefit]

all i'll say about Noah's video is that i think it's weird people are calling it a "bad apology", because it's not even an apology video. the only thing he says is that his opinions have been misconstrued and that he doesn't want people to die, which, yeah, he already said before. there's no sorry, from the video alone you wouldn't even know if he's aware of what he did that made people turn on him so fast in the first place

i know the norm nowadays is to call any response to an issue/a situation an "apology" but sometimes it's just a statement, which is what this is. if he was genuinely "apologizing" he'd have to address the actual things he did, like keep misinformation up, even after it's been disproven and worst of all the "zionism is sexy" thing. what he's doing is just cautious backpeddling by saying everyone got him wrong. just a pretty obvious pr nothing-statement sadly

Oh dang, I really got in at the last minute! Time really flew this year!! Happy requestober, everything I've seen looks amazing so far! Could you please draw something where the Vargases get a Joel kitty but just like... *Not* under terribly sad circumstances? Like maybe after adopting Todd, they get a family cat? Thank you so much! <3

One of my favorite character traits that Junpei has is how as much as he's protective and caring to his favorite people and impulsively jumps into danger to help others if he has an opportunity to without wanting anything in return and highly values the promises he makes he just seems to also always be more curious than he is sensible or empathetic, he gets so caught up on the horrors he sees but he has such a hard time looking away, he's right to analyze and be intrigued by the ninth man's remains but he stands around staring at it until he pukes, in the showers you can interact with the wall behind which lies "Snake's" corpse and he will pick up more details about it each time you click on it until he has to mentally rip himself away because it's not that he can't keep looking at it it's that he better look away and focus on getting out, and the way he talks to Clover about the body with every minutiae she wouldn't want to hear is like his brain connects faster to his mouth than it can connect to his sense of morality sometimes which I guess turned out to be a good thing in this one case or just good common sense in general like there's other minor things he blurts out at times, he's stated to not have tact be his strongest suit, he's insensitive on accident trying to fumble through interactions even if he's entirely confident on what he's saying he's soo sharp when he has a goal in mind but he's soo dense if he's trying to just exist my man is so traumatized and his brain always seems to default to taking the most of any given situation in as possible to desensitize himself instead of any other response and sometimes it pushes his mind to be so single mindedly entranced on not ending up that way too that he'll describe a mangled body in excruciating detail to a grieving relative even if that's his friend and even if he feels guilty about it immediately as soon as he catches up with what just left his mouth instead of staying in his thoughts

allow me to get yaoiful about the canadian tennis curse real quick. anyways. possible correlation between the downfall of denis’ career and whatever messy breakup he and felix had. when was the last time we had proof of them being besties. back when denis was doing well. coincidence?? also, what even happened there. because felix in those atp youtube videos always says ‘MY GOOD FRIEND denis shapovalov’ etc etc. he always always says my good friend. even like a month ago or whenever the last time he was in atp video was. but then, denis does not give him the time of day it seems. like what is that about. anyways, if they played doubles together again (rogers cup pleaseeee for the home crowd 🙏) i think denis would be back on the rise. and post
