Turns on loud speaker
Fuck elves being eternally mournful when their mortal love dies! Fuck elves being eternally moving onto the next spouse!
Give me elves who are 1000 years off from the death of their partners and still are putting food on their grave shrine because "It was on sale and I remember you said 'Never pay full price for cake when Day-Old bakery mark downs exist.'."
Gimme elves who are chronic shopaholics for their loved ones. Putting expensive makeup, jewelry, and material items that their human always stared at through windows all around their home shrine. The home shrine turns into a room of gifts for someone who will never touch them, never be seen wearing them, never thank them. Thats okay. Because this elf is down bad and will be down bad for another eternity! Everyone in the afterlife is going to be so jealous of their mortal's dutiful and cool immortal lover.
Elves building entire temples to their long dead loved ones when the rooms no longer suffice! 3,000 years later where they are seen as the immortal protector of what must have been a glorious and kindly god! For no other shrine created has been so beautiful and full of love!
"Oh! You really shouldn't have gone shopping for a gift! Thats not what this is all about- really! ....Though, if you could find any vintage dress shirts in their shape and size, or make one, we'd be very grateful! This color was their favorite!"
Elves who worship the days of birth and death of their mortal spouse because, if they hadnt been ORDERED not to, they would have worshipped every day their sweetheart was alive!
And of course the same applies to vampires.
The ghosts of these massive, immortal simps's lovers are absolutely rolling over in embarrassment long after theyve become a minor deity through the prayer and worship of 1 elf for 8,000 years and their accumulated following of an entire city's worth of pilgrims, villagers, nobility, hermits, and maybe other elves who recognize the honor they would be bestowing upon this beautiful love.

Fanart Alert!
Tumblr media
“Have you read of Potema Septim? Scholars describe her as unambiguously evil; she killed people she didn’t like, subjects who disobeyed her, anyone who was against her, she was elated to trade the soul of her every living citizen for a little comfort. And this woman—was my father’s kin; and of… of my own blood.”
Tumblr media
“Careful, Ysmir,” Miraak warns her, a little breathless, mouth slightly parted and lashes half-drawn in a haze. If someone could make love to his hands alone, that would be Jia now—this is how that sacred sensuality feels like. “You wrong your lips a great deal. The hands you name beautiful and kiss with such reverence are soaked in unspeakable amounts of blood.”
Chapter 22 of 🐉The Priest and the Dragoness🐉
OKAY, ALRIGHT. My most talented and wonderful friend @tesshere was inspired by my latest fic update and drew these UTTERLY MAGNIFICENT pieces of Jia, my Last Dragonborn and last heir to the Septim line! In the first one, we can see two versions of her, the one with a flower crown in her wild hair, simple and happy and free, and the other with the Empire's crown on her head, her neat hair and clothes, but with her eyes crying while wearing it. While a dragon is naturally inclined to dominance and rule, my Jia is very afraid of the legacy she carries on her back...
In the second one... Well, I think the excerpt is very self-explanatory, isn't it? 😼 Jia soothes Miraak's pain by tenderly and reverently kissing his hands, and as my friend Senu put it, "Miraak is well. Let's just say. horn".

a lot of posts right now seem to rely on the idea that what happened in Aeor is common knowledge throughout Exandria, but based on what we know I don't necessarily think that's the case? back in Bassuras, an 18 history check (which would be a very high roll for an "average" person) only got Imogen the names of Age of Arcanum cities and the vaguest of context. in the most recent Cooldown, Matt talked about how most people have a similarly broad understanding of the calamity, and didn't know the reason the gods were warring in the first place.
There are of course specificalists and experts, like Imahara Joe or the professor they met in Yios or many of the high-level clergy of Vasselheim, that likely already know what happened in some amount of detail. And of course, many people's opinions on the gods would not change one way or another upon learning the details. But I think there are a lot more people who don't know the gods decimated an entire city than people realize.

(this went on to be a longer ramble, talking about shrines and the abilities in totk i had more thoughts about the overworld repetition but im putting this into a separate post)
something i havent seen anyone mention before is also that it is a problem that you can skip nearly any puzzle in the totk "temples", some of which just by climbing walls ... and that wasnt possible in botw bc the titans were made of the same material as the shrines and prevented you from climbing on them, which feels like they knew making them climable would reduce the amount of puzzle you had to do and make it even less impactful, surely there are some glitches or movement tech that can make it easier, but at least you had to think about it a little?
but i guess that went against their newly adopted "more freedom equals better" way of thinking .. but then ..
the thing that i find confusing is that the shrines interior in totk are once again, NOT climable, but similar sonau buildings in the overworld ARE climable, they even restrict how you can use the tech in shrines, so ... they arent actually against restrictions? but then dont restrict anything else? not even in the main dungeons?? its kinda inconsistent and conflicting (like everything else lmao)
and that kinda extends to the abilities too, both the ceiling jump and ultrahand make alot of puzzles obsolete bc theres always a way easier way to skip everything; i know they kidna based it around people doing crazy thigns in botw, but there it felt like you were actually kinda missusing the mechanic of stasis for example in a smart way, YOU came up with that and it felt rewarding creating your own solution to shrine puzzles bc there were multiple ways to do it in this engine (like isntead of aligning blocks to lead electritiy to one end to the other you put out your weapons and place them there instead, and it WORKS) it felt more non intended, even if they had thoguht about it, it still FELT like you just came up with that, and sometimes it really was the only way your mind worked with and everyone had their own way of thinking
while in totk, they kinda tried to encourage that way of thinking, but it doesnt feel like your own idea anymore really, and, while its not every single one, in alot of totk shrines .. or even overworld puzzles you were just .. literally given the puzzle pieces for you to put together, but the pieces were like .. in parts of 6 at most so putting together the picture was both obvious and also kinda boring, like you were treated like you are a 4 year old and they were giving you 4 piece puzzles over and over- and fine you CAN just glue the two fans together and stand on them to fly high enough to just glide over to the end instead of building the flying thing they gave you the pieces for BUT its still .. expected, like you dont feel like you are working on it your way but seeing what the devs obviously planned for and then knowingly circumventing it i dont think its good either that in combination with the ceiling jump you really can just skip almost anything, take out a fly thing and fly near the end to spam the jump until it works, instead of using the building blocks they gave you for the obvious solution you build some platform and just ceiling jump to it, theres a rocket here? fuse it to your shield and fly high enough to glide to the end, its both too easy and obvious for the intented way and then you can even entirely skip that too, and you dont even feel smart about it bc it doesnt feel like you came up with it on your own and instead feel like a child that is way too old for the toys its given and the adults giving them to you stare at you while they wait for you to solve the puzzle- and alot of the solutions were either build something with these three pieces or fight something with these pieces-
i still remember that one (or more?) botw shrines were it lead you to a button to press and once you stand on it the wall slides open and reveals some fun and unexpected challenge, over and over- there was a hallway you had to glide through but there were big moving spiky metal balls hanging from the ceiling, maybe one has a normal rope on it and you can shoot it down if you notice it but the others dont so what do you do, stasis them so you can avoid it in time, grab it with magnesis to make it swing harder and then hope for the best as you fly there or dont do anything of that and just jump in- the one were a spiked wall was chasing you and as you run more obstables are put in your way right before you get to it, you stand on a button and the wall opens greeting you with an immediate guardian laser to the face? it felt more creative and fun to me, tho granted i havent done all shrines in totk bc i grew too tired of the everything to play more
(at least thats how i felt like, like i was treated like i was stupid for alot of totk, not just in the shrines sometimes .. which were one of the more enjoyable things in it, but also in the story .. like you dont have to think at all to get everything before its said to your face over and over)
and that thing with the abilities and the tech also makes the world less like a world and more like a playground bc you can just skip to every point of interest, you dont have to walk or climb or fight your way anywhere really bc you can just go up and fly to whereever you want, the new weird ass towers only make it worse bc .. of course youd make use of them to get everywhere even quicker, its also kinda in the combat, they might give you the tools to be creative (with arguably very simple things .. like a wheel, a rocket a fan and flamethrower arent realyl that interesting to begin with) why would you build a laser firing tank maschine to fight some bokblins you can just .. clobber like you usually do way quicker and easier
i do like the abilities in botw more than in totk too, but its got multiple reasons, like the world felt built around it without putting it into your face all the time, and the shrines were more built around giving you fun challenges, or just .. a fun experience, with often more subtle puzzles and not always forcing you to make use of the shiekah stone runes, plus the totk abilities feel more like the same thing .. or less interesting? fuse and ultrahand really are one and the same thing but separated into two for .. some reason, the time reversal is like stasis but with less ways to apply and use it (and kinda clunky how everything freezes in place when you prime it), and both it and the ceiling jump are a skip button from one location to the next (even tho we already have the fast travel) so you dont even need to climb, like those weird towers in the underground i thoguht looked cool and interesting when i first saw them only to realize its just a way to get to the surface via ceiling jump and nothing more .. you could fast travel up with the same amount of loading time, and more often than not it wasnt even in an interesting spot or somewhere you couldnt get to otherwise; the autobuild too even lets you skip building!! the thing thats the supposedly focus! i know its annoying to build something for a long time with its clunky function but isnt it yet another skip button
... another random ramble, much more incoherent too, again i want to mention im not trying to hate on everything, jsut kinda communicate or ... spill out my thoughts and feelings; i do absolutely agree that ultrahand is a very impressive mechanic and i did have fun with all the abilities for a while ..... i still like botws more bc its more diverse and is more restricted (which i LIKE) while also having more ways to use them

hi im ranting (positively! this game kills me but in a good way) about breath of the wild again
i know it's controversial but i love the way the story of the game is told. because you start the game in the middle, perhaps near the end, of the story. the game is entirely through link's perspective and he wakes up knowing and remembering nothing. in turn, the player starts off knowing nothing. the past is revealed as the story goes along, and the player learns about the past and about the land as link does. there are little tidbits about hyrule and about the calamity scattered across the land. an old woman in hateno village tells you of an age of desolation that she grew up in. the travellers you see on the road are younger people because they're described by older characters as more bold, whereas the older characters grew up being told to never leave the village, it's too dangerous outside (compare this even to tears of the kingdom, where travellers are more common because the land has been safer. even older characters have left their home to travel elsewhere (not including the lurelin villagers)). battlefields are still strewn with old rusty weapons and deactivated guardians that no one but monsters will go near. myths and legends about the princess and hero have been passed down, to the point where their legitmacy is questioned and everyone has a different opinion on them.
it's environmental storytelling. it's things like seeing drawings and a bow in zelda's study and seeing a child reading a storybook with a hero that wears a blue tunic similar to link's. it's the stories that the villagers share about old myths that turn out to be true. it's the ruins scattered across the land, long since overtaken by monster camps but still unmistakably being houses that people once lived in. it's the utter lack of civilization anywhere remotely near the castle and the feeling of dread in the ruins of the town that surrounds it. it's a kingdom entrenched in its past, with no ability to move away from it until the calamity is finally defeated.
#head into the wall. i love this game so much#legend of zelda#breath of the wild#and no i dont hate totk for getting rid of the sheikah tech and replacing it with zonai tech#the zonai tech is foreign and new to the people of hyrule and theyre EXCITED about it#how many zonai researchers are there in totk vs how many sheikah researchers in botw?#people are wary of the technology that destroyed their home a century ago#and they're terrified of the guardians that still roam the land#i still hold that link likely was behind the reason why the shrine of resurrection was completely dismantled#it's kinda like majora's mask in which half of the story is in the side quests and the characters#mm had a plot yeah but it kind of accompanied the rest of the setting#link had a goal but he also had so many people to talk to#botw is similar. link has a goal in mind but he's also one to help others#and if someone literally just lost their chickens or if their husband is sick and needs medicine. he's willing to help them out#the world is just as important as the plot itself and i think i like that more#than just a linear plot which is accompanied by the world#botw totk and mm reward you for exploring#(along with some of the others like twilight princess and a link between worlds)#but it's very different i think when half of the game is about exploring#or more than half even. you have your goal but you have to get there first#and there are so many ways you can get there and so much you can encounter along the way#biting screaming crying#the bow is in zelda's room but close enough

I know the chances are small, but if the person we bought two rats from (today? yesterday? about 12 hours ago?) happens to be following this blog, then I just want to say I absolutely adore your apartment and I'm sorry for bringing so many people with me.
If I ever buy rats from you again, I'll be sure to either come alone, or only bring my sister who is also a big tf fan and dinosaur nerd

hello robooty i am one of ur yaoilings
i saw you in my dream. we were in an art class together and you got so mad at me you started ripping your hair out
anyways who were you in the love triangle? deku uke or todoroki seme?
thats beautiful and quite realistic since in real life when i get really stressed out i actually do grip my hair like a danganronpa sprite.
So you see it wasn’t actually a love triangle… more like an angle? Because in my life my best friend and boyfriend are two seperate types of love that are equally as important to me (highest level of platonic love and highest level of romantic love. equally important). Now my best friend and boyfriend are just one person (SO MUCH EASIER NOW OMFG ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HES A CRAZY AND INSANE YANDERE) but back then it was two seperate people who were BOTH insane crazy yanderes and i was lowkey in some isekai harem shit (the professional yandere fumbler in bio doesn’t lie). I dont want to share lots of details about everything that went down but it was insane. We all lived far away and at one point tried looking up online couples therapy not for me and my (EX TO BOTH) bestfriend/boyfriend but for the (EX TO BOTH) best friend and boyfriend because they were fighting like cats and dogs every other week and they only kept trying so hard to be close to eachother because they understood i was like “bro you have to accept this is your equal or im not going to have you in my number one spot. you deal with it or we cant work” but also were too jealous to let someone be that close to me without that person being under personal surveillence so it just ended in constant war where it was agreed that anytime I intervened it just made things worse so I’d sit and watch this happen like the furry divorce picture. These mfs were true yanderes too like wiener is also an Actual Real Yandere i dont know how i keep finding individuals like this. call me lt tsurumi i swear to god. for the first few sessions my ex boyfriend’s therapist thought I was abusive because of how delusionally obsessed he was with me until they would be like “does he force you to only be friends with him?” and then my ex would respond “oh my god I WISH HE WOULD. *eyeroll* Instead he keeps telling me that I need to make other friends and that I can’t only hang out with him!” and she was like okay actually my client is the insane one here. And she also laughed at him because he explained how jealous he felt of Germany and was like “AND WHEN WE MOVE IN TOGETHER HE WANTS TO KEEP THE BODY PILLOW IN OUR BED!”. Like reportedly she was aghast by what was going on because it was a real life its always sunny in philadelphia gang. Where I’m charlie. (watch macs banging the waitress for reference). So i hope that answers your question because I think maybe mac charlie dennis is a better descriptor of what was going on.

Ink October day twenty-nine: Wilder
To bewilder; to perplex.
Comparative form of wild: more wild.
#tears of the kingdom#loz totk#totk#the legend of zelda#legend of zelda#legend of zelda tears of the kingdom#totk link#blue boi draws#ink october 2023#ink October 2023 day 29#I have extremely conflicted feelings about this game that I think boil down to: I don’t dislike it but it did disappoint me#like there are a lot of things about it but the things I dislike are loud in a way that makes them hard to ignore#there are also a lot of tiny nitpicking things I dislike about it that I feel bad about because they are probably insignificant or cases of#people having different taste in things. like the bombs I miss my remote destination bombs :( but also the mechanics that replace them are#really fun. I actually think most of the mechanics and puzzles are really good (I probably have more fun in Zonai shrines then sheikah#on average) I also think expanding to the sky and underground was really smart and good. I think most of my issues are with the story#they did Zelda so dirty. sooooooo dirty. the three good things they did with her are 1 gave her good parental figures 2 cut her hair#3 tURNED HER INTO A FUCKING DRAGON. A WYRM. A CREATURE.#that’s probably my favourite main story thing besides maybe the companions and also Tulin#I love Teba the fact that his son is featured heavily and is done so good in this game is amazing.#also revali being basically never mentioned was really good. fuck you revali#love the Zonai HATE them founding Hyrule (or well rauru)#love the designs dragon goat people love good dad to Zelda the king can go fuck himself#the thing about me is I hate ​colonial the divine right of kings and monarchies so much. the kingdom of Hyrule stinks of these things#botw to me was in part a story of a monarchy failing. the king and the system failed Zelda failed Link and failed their kingdom.#I knew that more then likely they would be rebuilding the kingdom in the sequel but oh my gods does the addition of the politics of Hyrules#founding make it worse. there are so many people who have explained in detail this but right now my brain is just… GAH#*banging my head against the wall* can we PLEASE acknowledge the flaws of the Hylian royalty I’m not even asking for them to be discrowned#at this point I just want anything that isn’t this glorifying shit. and it sucks because I like Sonia!!! I like Minaru!!!#ran out of tags but I need you to know I am fucking vibrating about this

One thing I miss about Japan are spiritual sites you have to earn…
Shrines at the top of hundreds of steps with no other access…
Temples on top of mountain peaks…
Hidden in forests…
Only accessible when the tide is out…
