On the 7th day of Xmas my true love gave to me...

7 elements 🌬☄️⚡️🌱💧🔥❄️

i hate how dooky dendro and cryo turned out and i hate that pyro is off center but i couldnt be bothered to redraw that flame again =3= i know i did it out of loading screen order (whats the rhyme and reason behind that anyway? couldnt find concrete answers online), i did it by order which we visit them instead ^^

one of my favorite headcanons is that the people of Gotham originally thought Batman was an urban legend not just because Bruce was good at sneaking around and pretending to be a shadow in the night early on, but also because they live in an insanely cursed city, heard "shadowed wraith beats up criminals and leaves them for the police to find," and went "yeah that tracks. it's Gotham, ghosts fighting crime is totally believable"

Okay but it's super interesting how

Din = Power = Ganondorf

Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda

Farore = Courage = Link.

Because Din, in the hylian creation myth, created the physical world. Naryu then created the laws - gravity, time, etc. And Farore finally created life - plants and people.

Din created the body, naryu the mind, Farore the soul.

And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.

Ganon is physical power, he is big and intimidating and he breaks things. He is cunning and determined, but that's not what he focuses on. He is might makes right.

Zelda is wisdom and cleverness. She is stall tactics and information and team work. She is a powerful mage with a spine of steel, but that's not how she'll win. She is the pen being mightier than the sword.

Link is courage and persistence. He is the wild card sneaking behind enemy ranks, always moving, plunging into terrifying situations head first. He's a phenomenal fighter with a keen wit, but that's not what will get him through his challenges. He is bravery not being the absence of fear but the triumph over it.

They sit in perfect parallels to each other.

And ganon is reborn through his body - his resurrection is immortality. No matter how low he is cast, as long as he has a body he can claw his way back. He can cling to his power, build it ever higher.

Zelda is reborn through the magic of her bloodline. It's the accumulated knowledge handed down for generations, the unique power she must master, the skills she must develop to survive and get her kingdom out the other side intact. Even her name, the knowledge of herself, is handed down from all the way from the very first. Her ancestors knowledge of her future presence, her stability, is what gives her the edge.

Link is reborn in spirit. He is not bound by flesh or blood. Just like his wanderlust soul he can reappear in any time or place. His variation, his unpredictability, is exactly how he fights. It's what makes him so hard to pin down.

Ganons need to build strength means he can't chase after link. Links impulsiveness means zelda can outwit him. Zeldas stationary predictability means she's an easy target for ganon.

But the other direction?

Fire melts ice, ice redirects lightning, lightning burns fire.

And that's the very essence of the triforce.

If I had a nickel for every time a great movie with an amazing message

Got box office bombed because of god-awful marketing

I’d have 2 nickels! Which isn’t a lot but, strange that it happened twice right???

see like the thing with 'carewhumpers' as a concept to me is it just like... i know this is prrrrobably not really how it's meant but something skeeves me out about the idea that kindness or caretaking mixed in with hurting someone can somehow meaningfully complicate or dilute the harm done to the point of making that character no longer a 'whumper' whereas someone doing the same 'bad' things but not ever being gentle or caring for them would just be a straight-out whumper. when like... that's how 90% of irl abuse dynamics work? so i just... don't really get the point, i guess. like to me it implies something about the 'care' provided somehow mitigating or combating the harm done that. i just do not personally appreciate or enjoy.

Can’t get the image of Grian and Ren’s faces swirling up and mixing to morph how their faces look out of my head. It’s such a cool visual in my head.

You catch Ren or Grian morphed as someone else and they just turn to you and their skin swirls in a way that shouldn’t be natural, returning to their original forms and running away from whatever nefarious thing they were doing.

The muscles shift beneath their skin and you can hear the bone structure creaking as it changes shape, the same with the rest of their body. It’s horrifying to watch happen.

So, I miss The Locked Tomb and I'm nearing the end of my easy-to-read reading pile, so I looked for an interview where Tamsyn Muir recommends some books because, if you can't read the real thing, maybe the author's taste will scratch an itch, right? And then it's always fun to dig up the influences. Anyway, here's the answer if anyone's interested:

Do you have any books you’d recommend to your readers and aspiring writers? Picking three books off my bookshelf in a frenzy of spontaneity: Nancy Mitford’s Love in a Cold Climate is a masterclass in building a very large amount of tension about a very small thing that doesn’t actually matter much. Neal Stephenson’s Anathem is probably my favourite example of how to do spec-fic without accidentally becoming an RPG sourcebook. And Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park is my go-to for writing a book where everyone is basically a huge pill at all times and yet also intensely believable and sympathetic. I will spend my whole life trying to produce a paragraph worthy of touching the hem of Austen’s garment.

Okay, so I don't know the first two, and I'll look into it, and yes, she's right, of course Jane Austen is incredible, and actually the way Muir handles the unsaid romantic tension between Gideon and Harrow, and to some extent between Palamedes and Camilla (though just "romantic" is unsuitable and in either case doing those relationships a disservice) is a testament to both a certain Austenian influence AND a successful effort at wrenching Austen's literary lessons into a diametrically different setting, BUT. BUT. MANSFIELD PARK MAN? MANSFIELD PARK? How dare you. Now I can't trust your recommendations EVER. How dare you recommend the worst character cast ever written and a novel structure so boring the author herself got tired of it and the most insufferable protagonist who wasn't a man to ever wah-wah-whine in front of my eyes, oh my god. I had forgotten how much I HATE Mansfield Park and Fanny Price and ugh, I just remembered Edmund, augh, eughhhg. Tamsyn how could you do this to me personnally
