Im so glad that Google AI keeps the spirit of telling you your symptoms could be death approaching

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.

So, i started reading Solar Lunacy again and all the chapters i was behind, and this moment of chapter 14 really made me giiggle (i haven't even finished it lmao, i had to draw it)

[ratwithhands]

Fun fact I used to consume a lot of Land of the Lustrous stuff.

Anyways this is one of my many Land of the Lustrous OCs, Vivianite. Mohs hardness of 1.5, dark green/blue in colour, and very old. Due to the nature of his weak composition, Vivianite can't actually do much of anything, and has had to live under very specific conditions.

Vivianite wears a tight full body uniform to hold any chipped pieces in place, and is kept in a box stuffed with loose cloth to ensure minimal damage. If he comes into contact with light, he begins to oxidize and darken, so he's kept in a windowless room with curtains over the entrance.

That's all to say he's isolated and bored. He spends much of his time inactive, but he'll jump at the opportunity for conversation if there's someone around. Certain gems visit him to chat, get guidance, or give him the recent news. A task given to some gems is to clear his room of dust, and maybe bring him some books if he's up for it.

Vivian sees himself as an older sibling/friend to many of the other gems, and as such he's very keen on providing a listening ear and giving advice where possible to those who need it. He's essentially emotional support in a can.

Other notes/details:

not all gems know Vivian exists! He's hidden away so most gems wouldn't see him unless they were actively looking for him. A lot of the older ones know about him, but the younger ones don't

Rutile is endlessly tired of having to glue him back together so often due to his softness, which is part of why he has a tighter uniform to keep all his broken pieces in place

Vivian struggles with walking, he tends to be slow and stumbly

the tanks in Vivian's room are for jellyfish. Gems who are sent to clean his room have to switch out the jellyfish too. They're there to provide a faint light source so he doesn't go completely inactive

Vivian, despite living in a box in the dark, has a lot of technical knowledge about things as a result of millennia of going through the library collection. He' a living encyclopedia and can usually offer some answers if a gem has questions on a particular subject

his internal structure is basically a lot of shards stuck together like fibers, so he does minor repairs on himself by affixing strands of his hair into empty spots. He's had his fingers repaired and replaced this way often

In the few instances where Vivian has gone outside, he has an abnormally high amount of energy as a result of his inclusions being able to work at full capacity in the light

If I remember anything else I'll add it, anyways have a good day!

subaru: I failed my safety training course today  ayato: why, what happened?  subaru: well one of the questions was "In case of a fire, what steps would you take?"  ayato: and?  subaru: well apparently "FUCKING LARGE ONES" isn't an acceptable answer

I just need cuddles and shoulder kisses and reassurance and sweet words whispered in my ear and and and- 🥹

[bloodfool]

I can say nothing to justify this. A redraw

[overly-verbose]

Seriously, bro's a professional yapper lmfao

Tbf it's not completely unprovoked and he does just want to at least try explaining some things, if in a roundabout way, to make people more at ease (if not in the moment then overall) but, well-

sometimes it has the opposite effect lmao 😂

Also like, it's absolutely hilarious how I thought

'oh but this is just, like three scenes - how long could this be'

but all the freaking talking and stuff that everyone's doing is making Part 8 the second longest in the series 😂😂😂💀😂

(I fear for my poor brain, man - we've only just barely almost covered the Detention Center Arc

(and a little bit of the VS Mahito Arc Mahito Gets Curse PTSD Arc but I do wanna fill in some of the gaps between those)

and it's already gonna be over 40k words???

Why am I being so ambitious for my first ever proper writing project frrr *perishes a bit*

but I do hope to get it to the end - and beyond because there's no way I wouldn't constantly add to the post-main-plot shenanigans lol - however long that takes heh (just try to be patient with me pls I try my best here 😂) 👍)

I know the fish's brain waves were altered by a certain snakey boy but does the fish have other characters that cause neuron activation? Tier list of all the characters perhaps? 🤔

Ah, I'm in my 'everything I'm doing is wrong' week. I do believe it's the Female Hysteria. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Whether or not Spock gets his memories back is technically up for debate.

But it is also made perfectly clear that on Vulcan Spock was taught What he is (being re-educated), and when as a part of that education he is asked about Who he is he is stumped. And later on, he learns Who he is, and a point is made to allow us to understand that development. Whether Who he is included his memories or not is never perfect clear, and Nimoy did play the character slightly differently because dying would have an impact on him, and he did show that through his performance.

But does he truly know his friends? Yes.

Does he fully understand the depth of the friendship he shares with them? Yes.

Does he feel pain when he hurts them (entirely accidentally)? Absolutely yes, to the extent that 80 years later he is still so wracked with that guilt it influences his actions.

Spock after his rebirth, you could argue, doesn’t remember all of the moments he shared with his friends prior to his death. But his death also allowed him to connect with them in ways that he had never been able to previously.

It’s very very very good, and definitely a subtextual thing (hence it being open for debate), but you can read it in the performances.

And I’d argue that the whole thing makes the Kirk Spock Bones relationship all the more powerful and important

uuuugh see i don't think that's BAD or uninteresting (in fact it's 100% the opposite) but i still just physically recoil that everything with jim and his ENTIRE LIFE ON THE ENTERPRISE become memories he only has through inference and mind melds and whatever else :'( it's good writing! and character development! and i love the cast so much so i know the acting will be perfect, no notes, but i literally feel overwhelmed with grief knowing he becomes someone different essentially living a stranger's life once he comes back :( like it just hurts my heart so much :( and if it's up for interpretation that means he won't have the "oh i remember everything now" moment that my tacky, unelevated, cheesy, campy, childish soul needs if i'm going to be asked to watch spock DIE and come BACK.

like.... jim. sweet baby boy jim. i can't watch him break like that :(

thank you so much for typing this out for me anon!!! it actually did help me understand better and i think made me a little more open to eventually watching them. i'm not hating, not even a little. i could never hate anything about Them <3 this is just me and my autism in full swing lol

[badboysupr]

to all the muses out there who have been genuinely nice to leo:

i'm sorry
