The explanation for why totk’s story is so Not Great and how disconnected from its predecessor it feels being that the devs didn’t want to alienate new players who didn’t know anything about botw’s story just falls apart the more I think about it. Nothing from this stupid half a plot works unless the player is familiar with specific details from the better games that came before it.
The believability of Link and Zelda’s connection to each other hinges on you knowing about the nuance of their relationship in botw. The ancient sages fighting with the champions’ arms and divine beast helms will only be impactful to botw/aoc players because totk doesn’t bother to explain the significance of that callback at all. Fi’s cameo is meaningless unless you either got every memory in botw or finished the master trial dlc (and know about her from skyward sword). You’ll only get the full context of Teba being sidelined in favour of a 12-year old if you played a specific chapter of Age of Calamity’s second DLC. Like sorry but I think Nintendo just made a bad story tbh
#bluebird.txt#salt of the kingdom#totk critical#yes i do think aoc is better than totk and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t#and In what universe is tarrey town common knowledge among non-fans while the divine beasts are a complete mystery#the mcu-ification of Zelda#also the champions’ weapons and sages’ helmets can’t believe I forgot about those!#if you’d never encountered anything from botw and wanted to know who Revali was after seeing the great eagle bow description#or you wanted to know why the Zora sage wore a helmet shaped like an elephant#you’d be shit outta luck unless you googled that information bc totk sure won’t tell you

i'm crying laughing about genkai kenpachi but also i am now dying to know if any other characters of yuyu hakusho fame managed to sneak their way into aeiwam, even if only in the worldbuilding
Yusuke Urameshi has for real burnt through his psychic abilites no for real not even a tingle in his fingers he swears, but he does run the late-night Curry shop the Karakura Kids sometimes end up at. Keigo and Mizuiro spend the most time there, and the craic is terrific, but he's got a soft spot for that Ichigo kid who comes in sometimes, late at night when he's been out chasing ghosts or had another fight with his dad. He reminds Yusuke of Hiei in a way- Ichigo swaggers and growls like a delinquent, but nothing pisses him off quite like bullies who pick on people who can't fight back.
Ichigo likes him too- He can tell that Urameshi guy all about the weird ghosts and fucked up monsters and how ANGRY he gets with his father sometimes, and the guy just nods and sometimes has good advice about where to lose his pursuers if he's being chased, or odd places where lost spirits end up. Urameshi grew up constantly getting in fights and seeing shit he shouldn't too, and always gives him free drinks.
They like each other well enough, but aren't much more than acquaintances.
Kazuma Kuwabara is one of the interns on the verge of becoming a resident at Karakura Hospital, NO, He's NOT going to be replacement Spirit Detective, I'M A DOCTOR, but sometimes he does hang out in the cafeteria with the kid of his attending physician- Uryuu reminds him of Kurama- intelligent, articulate, a bit of a prettyboy and Kuwabara is sure that the kid is secretly armed. He's easy to get along with- Kuwabara just asks him what he's working one, and then shuts up so he can learn something new.
Uryuu hates waiting in the hospital for his dad to get off shift to drive him home. His father's inner ear has been damaged when he lost his Quincy powers and he was still prone to sudden-onset vertigo, it's not severe enough to get fired from the hospital, but enough that the DMV won't issue him a driver's license, and so most days Uryuu drives him to and from work. But sometimes Kazuma is in the cafeteria, and he's going to make a terrific pediatrician or emergency room doctor someday. The big guy always manages to be in a cheerful and contagious mood, and actually listens to him. Uryuu estimates that Dr. Kuwabara has a better knowledge of what he's been studying, who his friends are, his latest fashion designs and his life in general than his actual father does.
They like each other well enough, but aren't much more than acquaintances.
#AEIWAM#an elephant is warm and mushy#bleach#yu yu hakusho#its not *really* a crossover. they just kind of live in the same town#like how Phineas and Ferb live on the other side of Danville from Milo Murphy#but i like to think about Yusuke and Kuwabara as adults#they deserve a soft epilogue

"Alphabet mafia" was funny (courtesy of @birthclod) so here are my alphabet mafia + nationality headcanons for Town of Salem's best faction (sorry to the roles without skins </3)
#some elaboration in the tags if you care to read#town of salem#i'm lactose intolerant#my art#tos#assume they live in italy unless otherwise stated#consig being canonically trans by accident is insane to me. she's so fucking funny. also yes she is german-irish because of tom hagen <3#i hc the itor surname as a shortening of heitor. and that it's the forger's (her last name is NOT direction) and yuan is her bio child#this is weirdly elaborate. he's her bio kid and she raised him but also he was a test tube baby and was born via surrogacy#mafio + consig are very close friends and treat each other like siblings#they met as little kids while gf was in her city on business and mafio was a quiet kid so gf was happy that mafio had made a friend#flash forward to gf regularly going out of his way to fly a 7-year-old + family across international borders for playdates with his kid#forger & consort are like 20 years apart in age but consort looks younger than she is and forger looks older than she is#consort is ~35 and looks ~25 and forger is ~55 and looks ~70. it's rough out there for an early retinol user and a stress ager.#gf and hypno are oldest at late 60s-early 70s and jani is youngest at around 22-25#also very important that all of them have little roses somewhere. consig's is on her belt + jani's is on a little bracelet#forger's is hard to see bc very small (it's her necklace). hypno with a little rose badge holder clip was my best idea ngl#and fine. i will address the elephant in the room. disguiser. there we go i mentioned them.#'why do they have a single parent. who is it.' i swear if you can put 2 and 2 together it's really funny...

An african elephant in the flesh, next to an asian elephant's skeleton. It really shows off how enormous african elephants are.
#african elephant#asian elephant#elephant#proboscid#mammal#senckenberg museum#i regularly see asian elephants in my home town zoo#and the african elephant is clearly bigger

Everyone go watch bang bang you’re dead IMMEDIATELY. Ben foster is so incredibly good and the writing is really solid for a tv movie.
(plus it’s brave enough to propose the Power of Theater™️ as a creative outlet for at-risk teens which is like, painfully sincere. And refreshingly optimistic for a school shooting movie)
#bang bang youre dead#ben foster#zero day#they said I know how to stop gun violence…#we need to put on the best community theater play this town has ever seen!#and I love that for them#elephant 2003

Oh coffee is so lovely! Do you mind me asking where you went to buy her?
thank you!! ♡ Im very sorry, I looked into other locations for the store she was purchased in and it looks like it's the only store like that with that name so it would give away the town I went to which is very close to where I live. the store was in a mall in Kansas, though I know that probably doesn't help much sorry!
it's the only store I recall ever seeing Jellycats for sale in so far but!! I just found this locator you put your zipcode into that should show places near you that sell them! I put in mine and the store I got her in came up along with a couple stores I've never heard of in a different town so it seems to be accurate!
#mouse speaks#astrangeghost#coffee🛍☕️#it shows that theyre being sold in one store in the town I'm moving to in a few months too yippiieee!!#I looked at photos for said store and saw an elephant jellycat in one photo! so the locator seems to work!

I've listened to so much of the music tapes and orbiting human circus that i can pick out a singing saw in a song immediately. just listened to this random band and heard a singing saw and went "IS THAT JULIAN KOSTER???" and lo and behold... i check the credits.... YEEEUP THERE HE IS SOMEHOW
#its not even a band part of the Elephant 6 lmao how tf did he get into this band !!!#anyways yay Julian Koster you are so cool and you make such cool stuff#if i could just get my hands on somebody's old bow i could learn to play the singing saw...#unfortunately i am too afraid to email any of my fiddler connections in town to ask if they have a spare bow i could just have djfjdkl#so the singing saw will remain a dream for now 😔#OH THE SONG WAS UHHH#Ghost Riding by Caged Animals#dandy.cmd

you know green thumbs? And how people who are shit with plants have black thumbs? I am that but for cars….
#so after an oil leak after last driving our bus#the bus now has a completely drained battery which means I can’t drive him to the mechanic#(which also means I won’t get my train back to university town)#((which means I am kind of fucked with regards to public transportation))#but my dad had the glorious idea to just tow the car to get it to start#which didn’t work when I was in the bus#so he had me drive the Volvo#which (and I cannot stress this enough) is a very terrible idea#I am a shit driver by any metric and you do not want me to tow a car with a towrope#that was bound to go wrong#so after attempt 1 (failed spectacularly; almost crashed twice) I got out to tell my dad that I am not qualified to tow#but my dad (the fool) goes nah you’ll be fine#so now I have not only destroyed the Volvos handbrakes (two years ago; the car started smoking)#I have also destroyed the clutch (two hours ago; not smoking but smelling very much like very burnt rubber)#and the bus’ battery is charging at a power outlet as it should’ve from the beginning#and any chance for relaxed six hours traveling back to my apartment are gone#I am lucky if I’ll still get to my apartment today#and I am spending a lot of time not thinking about the pink elephant (how much money a new car will cost)#bc the Volvo (while being the trustiest car imaginable) has over 400.000 km on his back#and keeping him going is cheap as long as he doesn’t have issues but now….
