i havent caught a lot of the totk story yet but... all of it seems so contradictory to the actual zelda lore, or am i crazy? so like. if sonia and rauru founded hyrule and ganondorf already existed back then that's completely contradictory to him being born around the time ocarina of time takes place, where hyrule had already existed for a long time? also a lot of things in the game seem to be referencing skyward sword, but the premise of skyward sword is that hyrule was founded after the sky islands of the world sank to the ground, not when the zonai came from the sky to make contact with humans. and the zonai never were referenced anywhere in the zelda lore before so the idea that there was an ancient civilization that was more advanced than them is so out of the blue??
#myposts#totk#the legend of zelda#i mean. i guess SOME things in their lore make like. no sense#like. botw takes place in all 3 timelines but HOW does it take place in the twilight princess/wind waker timeline#when the gerudo canonically went extinct in that timeline due to the flood#but like also.#i was so excited when ganondorf in the intro called link and zelda by name#bc i thought itd be a reference to the fact that this man has been alive for ages and link killed him like 3 times already#and he always had to worm himself back into life in some way#but then like. now it seems like he knows them bc zelda goes back in time?#maybe im wrong and its still actually a reference to him already knowing who link and zelda are from past lives#but STILL

Tag drop: Jing Yuan (incomplete, but the rest will be added behind the scenes) (... and a little return of Yelan's aesthetic, for I've missed her desperately)
#tag drop#jing yuan. [ history will make its own judgment. if i succeed; it will state that i am supremely confident in my masterful strategy. ]#jing yuan: ic. [ but if I fail; then all will state that i am neglecting my duties in wanton pleasure. preferring finches over my people. ]#jing yuan: inquiries. [ if you want to distract me with questions; i urge you to stop. / ah. how could you suspect such malice? ]#jing yuan: countenance. [ he is also a master of the arts of concealment. when he decides to “show” something: it's time to be careful. ]#jing yuan: introspection. [ the xianzhou has very few legends. for what room is there to create legends among those who do not die? ]#jing yuan: meta. [ have you memorized all that? / yes general. / very good. but only when you've forgotten it: will you be ready. ]#jing yuan: little notes. [ it is a warrior's game. singular encounters with endless possibilities. ]#jing yuan: wishes. [ the pieces are like us; each with its sentience. there is no going back on the board; how can one return to the past?#jing yuan: etc. [ only the truly wise can stand proud in front of the undefeated enemy called time. ]#jing yuan: the luofu. [ they name the xianzhou luofu as just xianzhou; but one is not the other. the luofu is the luofu. it is no more. ]#jing yuan: cloud knights. [ the cloud knights entrusted their lives to me. i shall not fail them. ]#jing yuan: wave-treading snow lion. [ how could i turn down looking after a long-extinct little animal to help continue its lineage? ]#jing yuan: high-cloud quintet. [ the past cannot be pursued; but the future can still be hoped for. ]#jing yuan: yanqing. [ it is my fault. i should have given him an opportunity already. “a sharp sword can't stay sheathed forever." ]#jing yuan: jingliu. [ in an endless night… there is nothing closer than the bright moon: always hanging in the sky. ]#jing yuan: blade. [ it is never wise to put down the hammer and take up the sword. ]#jing yuan: dan heng. [ bygones are bygones. but sometimes i wish things had turned out differently. ]#jing yuan: v. youth. [ ah. that carefree new cloud knight recruit. i was like that once upon a time. but it was a long while ago… ]

i actually like ballas as an antagonist. hes believable. hes just some guy some fuckin nepo baby. whatever the orokin equivalent of a tech ceo was. this guy was like space roman apple guy. i want to put him in a jar and study him like a bug.
#It Speaks#he put himself in a position to get leashed up and chimerafied just to gain power. i want to think too long and hard about this#what would bring a man to do that#a woman? it was a woman. but not her as a person. an immitation would do. a doll? a doll.#but then these children who love their wire mother so so much show up. half dead void devils. vile beings.#to him at least#and ballas never learned to share. but he doesnt realize that. he lets her have her corpse children. or so he thinks.#but these children are affected by his resentment. and so does the flesh mother. she hides them away like dionysus in the ivy.#he sees this act. he sees betrayal. use of love meant for him used on these... things.....#so he plunges himself into a self defeating chain of events. loses his wife. his empire. his legacy nothing but war. defeat and extinction.#but he cannot exterminate what has been recrafted and sent back by forces greater than himself.#is that not why he hates them? the fact that THEY were blessed? they were LOVED? but not him?#but instead of moving forward he kept gripping the past. harder and harder until it too shattered under his cruel grip.#i just think hes neat

Hey you've probably been asked this before so I hope this isn't a bother, but is your comic Extinction officially cancelled? I really enjoyed it, it was probably my favorite webcomic I've ever read and I loved the dialogue and characters.
Hiya! And it's ok I can answer it again
I wouldnt say officially cancelled, but it is definitely on indefinite hiatus for now at least
It makes me really happy that you enjoyed the comic and that it was your favorite!! Gosh It simply became unsustainable for me to maintain, juggling my irl studies, and the comic itself, as well as my free time and social life. Comic pages took a long time to finish, and my studies demanded more and more time from me most of which I spent drawing or writing for class, so for my free time I wanted to do other things in the end
Currently my focus is on other stories, though I still love Extinction to bits. I would definitely love to return to it someday and finish it or reboot it if necessary if my life stabilizes enough, but at the moment I can't dedicate so much time to it as I used to be able to
#for reference. i was working on extinction during a time of my life where i practically did not exist irl and had zero social life#so my very limited free time outside of class went into drawing... both other art and comic pages#ive since moved past that very much and so i have less time. and due to a lot of moving stuff and studies i have not had a stable schedule#So i have just been. drawing a lot LESS in general. even for things that have been catching my attention#i genuinely still love the characters though but i genuinely cant express how UNSUSTAINABLE it was long term for me#huge respect to people who can keep up webcomics long term. i have not been able to due to life circumstances#i hope this is understandable too it really saddens me having had to stop but it couldnt really be helped#i hope it is not too big of a letdown... i am just one guy handling all of this#ask#anon#extinction#putting this in the tag in case people search#if you dont wanna stick around anymore due to this i completely understand! but if you do you will catch wind of my other stories#i still love creating and sharing that. either way i hope you have a good day! and thank you kindly for caring

oh i just had the BEST thought.
QUESTION TIME.
How would YOU mess with time? Like, you have a chance to time travel, there are a few rules; no killing anyone, and no destroying anything, and no dropping anything physical from the future into the past. But other than that you can do anything! Multiple things even! Nothing you do is gonna cause the end of the world, the worlds generally more resilient than that. (serious answers accepted, silly answers best)
#I'll go first!#i explain hanahaki as a literary trope to edgar allen poe#i would 'get a hold of' some time period appropriate $$$ goods and trade them for as many Salish Wool Dogs as the people would trade me#(remember i said you can't take FUTURE things back i said nothing about bringing past things forward)#I would go to pre-colonization new zealand and trap a ton of thylacines and drop them in modern NZ and just wait and see#I would go get BASKET FULLS of carolina parakeets and do the same#maybe do a few more man made extinctions#and just watch people LOSE their MINDS wondering where these animals CAME FROM

“gothic fiction is an obscure 18th-century genre made up of mostly large books that no one actually reads” NOT TO ME AND MY MUTUALS
#why did he say that……#also in general just a crazy thing to say bc a) gothic fiction has continued on past its formation in the 18th century it didn’t like.#go extinct. plus b) many incredibly famous and influential books are gothic or gothic-inspired including c) some of the science fiction that#we are literally studying in this course….what are you talking about professor#jules.txt

Somewhere around the north of Gensokyo a maquis corporation camp filled to the brim with outsiders who migrated and rescued from the outside world still in war placing the outsiders of the outside world in their camp offering them food, water, shelter in tents all while quarantining the females as this land is currently suffering from the outbreak which only infects the females. There is too many civilian outsiders who're suffering from loss, grief and injuries from the outside world. Medical care was needed for the situation as they try to calm and line the civilians up in order not only the tending of their wounds but also trying their best to help everyone else the best they can but as they continue to help and assist survivors of the outside world, out of nowhere a large bipedal dromaeosaur, no doubt a carnosaur genetically man made by maquis appeared leaping on top of a woman whose month's pregnant disembowling her stomach eating her baby while more of them showed up all along with the said carnosaur whose eating the now unborn infant as the mother watch in terror and despair in her eyes as they eat the rest of the woman, barely alive. Many of the carnosaur swarm in packs pouncing and killing many of the outsiders and the maquis corporation's soldiers overwhelming them in sheer number. They tried fighting back but their resistance against a whole horde of genetically modified deinonychus is futile and their survival is slim. The sanctuary is now a massive and very gruesome feeding ground full of carnosaurs tearing apart and dismembering every single survivor in the area from men, women and children none were spared.
As the catastrophe continues a few snipers from the watch tower trying their best to snipe down and eliminate as many of the carnosaurs as they can even trying their best protecting the survivors but the carnosaurs are too fast and agile for them to get a clear shot which lead to them missing a few shots and even accidentally killing both civilian and squad mates as the situation here is now dire and far beyond their control as a few of these carnosaurs climbed ontop of the towers sneaking behind the snipers killing them, things have begun to get far worse as big momma showed up into the scene. The tyrannosaurus Matriarch the one who asexually reproducing these creatures by the thousands joining her children for a midnight snack devouring and consuming a few survivors in a single powerful chomp many of the civilians along with few soldiers remaining alive try to evacuate the survivors but in the sanctuary no one gets in or out in what is now carnosaur territory as the rest of the pack hiding out through the shadows of the bushed emerged from the shadows and slaughter the last remaining survivors for the matriarch let out a roar through the night sky as her children not only have a great feast but also a new nesting ground to lay her eggs and reproduce more into the world. The carnosaurs stacked and pile the dead to one big pile of dead bodies for her and the rest of her children to feed for later. Despite their victory this is the only the beginning as the night has just begun. No one safe from both the virus and the carnosaurs they have made to defy nature, and now nature strikes back.

anyway, if the dlc doesnt include more information on the time traveled pokemon and what their existence means in terms of pokemon evolution as a whole, i’m gonna be upset
#i say anyway as though i'm not asking for more discussion on this topic (i am)#(i am asking for all the discussion i love this shit)#i've been theorizing for many years that pokemon exist in a world where darwinian evolution is a thing#like pokemon of the same species separated on different continents will change overtime to be unique from each other#and yes we got some hints of this with Alolan pokemon#but i think the existence of paradox pokemon really drives it home that this is the case for pokemon#OH MY GOD the pokemon Arceus created were entirely different from the pokemon we see today#how far back does it go? how much do the evolutions change?#scream tail doesn't evolve--what does that mean about wigglytuff?#or does its existence in modern times change its ability to evolve?#perhaps there were conditions in the distant past that would allow scream tail to evolve into its form of wigglytuff#perhaps not! perhaps overtime as scream tail became what we now know as jigglypuff#it adapted to its surroundings by developing an evolution which would help it#OK NO BUT WAIT.#[aliens guy meme] Extinction theory#a meteor YES ACTUALLY THIS WORKS--A METEOR LANDED ON POKE-EARTH DEVESTATING THE ECOSYSTEM#The meteor was made of or at least contained moonstone which transformed the scream tail descendants into wigglytuff#and they survived because of the stat buffs the evolution gave them!!#but did every pokemon make it? are their ancient pokemon that used to exist and were wiped out ??#sorry i should go to bed but aaaaaaaaaaa i want to talk about this!!!

Okinawa Japan, 2:07 A.M.
Japan was once a luxurious and cultural island country full of life and beautiful landmarks however as the erebus outbreak subsided and new outbreaks from viruses that evolved from the T-Erebus virus now emerging the entire country become now a land of monsters, the undead and ravenous bio organic weapons running amok where survivors continue to fight for their lives however there are things far worse than the undead and the monsters from the virus that have accelerate their evolutionary change.
Something far more ferocious that they are the top of the food chain in all across parts of tokyo. There now a thriving race of such nightmarish mutated hybrids, genetically modified monsters that adapted to the now harsh environment they've been unleashed too. These genetically modified monsters are no ordinary bio organic weapons for the beasts are dinosaurs that have been brought back to life and all of them either hybridized or genetically modified through the usage of the original t-Virus and chicken embryos along with the DNA of other modern day animals and the dinosaurs by none other than scientist Dr. Lykos who had acquired from the Third Energy Criticality Incident back in 2009 during the Kijuju Autonomous Zone Incident back in africa of the same year from his little project he calls the carnosaur project.
How are they have been released happen to be by accident as his most perfect creations killed him as an act of defiance thus letting the dinosaur mutants roam free through japan thus destroying everything all about the carnosaur project as the dinosaurs he created would die off, until the outbreak hit years later as the T-Erebus virus have made the dinosaurs adapt better and live longer and thrive. Becoming a menacing threat to the undead and other bio organic weapons however unlike the dinosaurs and hybridize dinosaur mutations there is another type of dinosaur mutation. One so horrifying and far more dangerous making the other dinosaurs and B.O.W.s. knew to stay away. One that is more disturbingly human and what appear to be Dr. Lykos's greatest creation, a new breed of post human.
A post human that is both dinosaur and man and one that will thrive and repopulate for years to come into the far future marking another dark chapter in human evolution and for mother nature to strike back against man playing god. Extinction is the thing of the past...

End-of-Splatoon thoughts.
Thinking about how since the very start, Splatoon has had a feature where players can draw and post artwork and spot them as graffiti on walls or billboards. Or how the weapons have always been paint brushes and rollers and ballpoint pens. Since its inception, Splatoon has been dedicated to engaging its players with the act of creation and creative expression, showing them how their art can build communities and (literally) change the world.
Thinking about finding golden human-made music discs buried underground for thousands of years, and a grand finale music festival. About the Voyager Golden Records. About those human handprints etched into concrete in Alterna. Did those human artists know it would end like this? First a fiery death and then, eventually, a worldwide celebration of music to represent our shared past, present, and future. Did they know that their songs, insignificant in the face of extinction, would one day become the solution that will save the next dominant life-form from the same fate?
Thinking about how eerily similar the Octarian domes are to Alterna. About how close Inklings and Octolings were to repeating the same mistakes as humans. But their doomed fates were undone not by some miracle technology or military power or a rocket, but by music.
Thinking about how humans wiped themselves out with war, and our parting gifts were liquid crystals that somehow paired with the DNA of primeval inklings and somehow infused them with our memories and culture and a Song. And 12,000 years in the future, that same Song will end a war.
Thinking about how art and music and punk culture and rock & roll and friendly competition and petty arguments and water guns aren’t uniquely human concepts, but the fundamental qualities of intelligent life. An inheritable spirit that can cross evolutionary bounds.
Thinking about the theme of Splatoon, that art and music and fun will not die with the human race. That every piece of art we create is a seed we sow for future generations to reap. That our legacy is ingrained into the crust of the earth. That long after we’re gone, the oceans will remember, and they’ll pick up where we left off.
Thinking about how Splatoon says that the essence of humanity –– the thing that will outlive us –– isn't war or prejudice or destruction or greed, it's a song.
#personal#splatoon#“indomitable human spirit” but what if it wasn't just “human”#what if every creature had the capability to embody this spirit. they just need the chance#anyways splatoon's core theme is about how art and music is the most important thing on earth#wasn't expecting to get kinda emotional but in trying times it's nice that splatoon says that the art we make is a message to future#generations that we were once here and to *Do Better* than us. Be kind and keep making art#dead isn't gone.

our humanity as Australian Aboriginal people has been questioned vigorously ever since whitefella came to our fucking lands and i'm going to be honest i don't give a fucking shit if your questions about Aboriginal people are purely from a scientific evolutionary standpoint: asking how or why Aboriginal people are considered to be Homo sapiens is the most racist dogshit way you could ever fucking ask your stupid question. As if us Aboriginal people don't have to deal with racist cunts saying that we're extinct or that we're not as evolved as everyone else because we never "progressed" past a certain point or some shit (as if "progression" was some how necessary for us to support our communities and live our lives the way we wanted to). it is the most tone-deaf racist fucking dumb shit i have ever heard. i am now demanding that non-Aboriginal people actually read the many many pdfs and articles that are out there, made by Aboriginal people and by different Australian government bodies about how to work with or communicate with Aboriginal people and what is/is not allowed to be asked and other BASIC FUCKING INFORMATION ABOUT ABORIGINAL PEOPLE because you whitefella are acting so out of fucking pocket that i truly believe that you need to read this shit so you actually start acting respectful when it comes to Aboriginal issues and you know HOW to actually talk about these issues without talking over us or being a shitcunt about it. and yeah one of the PDF's is 51 pages long. suck it up and read the whole thing and don't complain about it to me.

but everyday I think about the way yukari loves and remembers
#renko and i visited the hakurei shrine. centuries ago i chose the abandoned hakurei shrine as the centerpiece of gensokyo#renko and i went by train to tokyo. ive used trains as danmaku for years now. waiting until trains evolve again to what i once knew#renko and i thought of visiting the moon by fantastical means. but ive invaded infiltered and invited lunarians by the same method#renko and i wrote my dreams under a pseudonym. i havent used my real name in millennia#rainbow colored septentrion and the emotions it evokes. plus the direct reference to the extinct wolves#as compared to the kitsune shikigami from hell#and then of course. border of life & necrofantasia#or how she approaches youkai like humans - marisa and sumireko maybe#AND YET she only remembers the small things of the past decades#does she truly remember the rest or is it just something ingrained in her subconscious
