2 + 14 +16?

2. Album of the year?

gonna have to go with Stick Season (We’ll All Be Here Forever) by Noah Kahan. it came out this year and also it just Hit. i’d listened to the original stick season release before and was like meh and then listened to the extended version when it was released and just couldn’t stop

14. Favorite book you read this year?

i know i have mentioned it like 10 million times but Daughers of the Deer by Danielle Daniel. read the whole thing in a day i just couldn’t put it down and absolutely Sobbed my eyes out at the end even though i knew what was coming. a beautiful, powerful, absolutely heartbreaking novel.

16. Post a picture from the beginning of the year

ok i like never post or talk about my photography on here but the end of 2022 into 2023 i was working on my first like real photography project and i’m super proud of how it turned out (now just to do something with it lol) anyways here is a small series from venice in early january

pls don’t steal them <3 (i am not tagging my photography account to keep some media separation in my life but if you are really interested in seeing more dm me)

End of the Year Asks!

[rosehipandroots]

if the links had YouTube channels what kind of content would they make

oh i can so get behind this

time: he’s too cryptid lol he appears in the background of Malon’s ranch vlogs. he makes his appearances stranger and stranger to mess with people bc he’s Like That 

warriors: all the beauty. makeup, skin routine, fashion, etiquette. this is however staggered by him and artemis’ impromptu sparring matches bc she likes to ambush him while he’s streaming 

twi: he’s just a little guy doin his farm things. he mostly talks about fishing and his goats and posts tutorials on how to properly herd and wrestle em. his audience is routinely shocked that he can haul 300 pound rams around. his most popular video is of illia roasting the shit out of him while talo and malo cheer her on (he left epona out overnight at the ranch on accident) 

sky: he knows all the birds. all of em. he’s like the rainbow macaw guy that was just walkin his birds lol. he does volunteer work at a zoo and vlogs about days in the life of a zoology student. he also skydives with his girlfriend all the time and he and wind happily talk about seagulls, and he often introduces his sword at the beginning of his videos. he’s got all the sunshine energy 

wild: he’s just Insane on social media. just a total gremlin. wind shows up in his videos a lot & they do crazy shit followed by a cooking tutorial from wild like nothing even happened 

legend: he’s a nerd. such a nerd lol. he didn’t post often but when he does it’s always an infodump on the most random of topics, esp things he shouldn’t really have the right to know/vaguely concerning bc he knows Everything (with an occasional jewelry interlude with wars) 

four: you never know what he’s going to post. smithing, pranking, breaking and entering; he gets away with the weirdest shit and no one knows how. wildcard fr

hyrule: he does those lil soft aesthetic videos with a lot of travelling, landscapes and rain. throughout the course of his videos he somehow becomes friends with increasingly more concerning animals until he’s just taking innocent selfies with a wolf pack in the middle of nowhere (which may or may not include twi) 

wind: had to think about this one for a minute! i think he’d do a lot of out-to-sea videos and chaotic boat manning stuff with tetra. plus bombs! aryll often steals the show bc of how cute she is and often steals the actual camera itself. she talks about seagulls and fencing. wind also does cartography occasionally with legend bc they’re all about maps 

this was really fun!! i think the tl;dr is that they're simply all too chaotic to not be entertaining XD twi and sky are the only vaguely normal ones

[crazylittlejester]

Call this a hot take or whatever, but I feel like the people who claim Zelda is “useless” Just don’t play the games. Like there’s so many moments in games where Zelda does plot-changing actions. Its rlly frustrating to see people try to fit her into the “helpless princess” trope that all started with princess peach imo, Zelda is NOT useless in fact a lot of the stuff she does in game is helpful to the player

(also just saying, 90% of the cast would jump any Zelda hater fr LMAO)

my girl ain’t useless and i love her so much, all of em. Number one Zelda (character) lover over here. Sun pushes Sky off Skyloft? I cheer, that’s my girl right there. Flora EXISTS? I cheer, that’s my girl right there. Tetra gives ONE person major side eye? I love her dearly, I cheer, that’s my girl right there. etc, because i love them all

The REAL reason Zelda is always ‘locked away’/‘in distress’ is because if she was left unchecked and free she’d hand Ganon his ass so hard she’d break the reincarnation cycle and she’d get it one in 5 minutes flat. I love the Zeldas, useless my ass, shes about to go beat up people with ikea furniture, i dare people to call her useless then /j

[chaosfantasmic]

My (!!UPDATED!!) silly little Linked universe headcanons (spoiler alert, theyre all transmasc)

Time: Transmasc (knew after he got out of Kokiri forest) straight

Legend: Transmasc (ofc he's trans he's Legend he's always fucking trans) Bisexual (he thought he was straight bc Marin but then he met Ravio and was like "oh shit I'm gay AND straight!)

Wild: Transmasc (He doesn't MIND wearing feminine clothes though, he just wears what the fuck ever) gay

Sky: Transmasc (if you misgender him groose and Zelda WILL curb stomp you) Bisexual (pref for the girlies)

Hyrule: Transmasc and Aro ace

Four: Transmasc (he/they) aro ace

Wind: Transmasc aro ace (if anyone tries to make a move on him Tetra will automatically beat there ass stan her, also tetras transfem just gotta add that)

Warriors: Transmasc aro ace (half because of Cia trauma and half of just because fuck romance and sex tbh he's just like me fr)

Twilight: Transmasc (if you misgender him Ordon Village will wish to know your location) Aro ace

HI HELLO OH MY GOODNESS HOW DO I PUT THIS

I literally just randomly stumbled across your comic with pearl and tetra and decided to give it a quick read, but then it really hooked me in, like REALLY hooked me in! It was the first one of your works I've seen so I didn't have any prior context, but the story it had even standing alone was just.. AGHHH I have no words it genuinely just struck my heart and soul! And then I decided to check out your blog and saw that you had more writings for WoF and that's when i saw the whole arc you wrote I decided to give it a quick read as well! i personally find it difficult to get into original wof stories cause I tend to gravitate towards one's involving canon characters (genuinely, nothing against OC stories! i find them so cool and want to read more of them, they're just a bit harder for me to get into), but remember when I said I'd give the arc a quick read? that quick read turned into reading the entire thing in one entire sitting because I actually get so attached to the characters and story and setting and EVERYTHING??? it all felt so genuine! like I was being taken on an entire journey with them!!! like, i actually cannot overstate just how amazing it has been to read it all!!! idk how to describe it but whenever I come across a story that I'm able to feel so connected and invested to, my heart starts to smile and my heart is smiling so much rn!!! Like, all of that and it was a DRAFT??? Ice, datura, pearl, tetra, no-one, and sidewinder's stories just felt so genuine I actually can't say it enough and I don't use the word genuinely lightly

it's really late where I am so I'll stop here before I probably write 50 more paragraphs, so I'll just say once more that I'm glad I stumbled upon your blog, and really, thank you! The genuine love you have for what you do is seen in the art you make, and I hope that, whatever you choose to do in the future (art or not!), it's something that brings you genuine love and fulfillment! AGHHH FR READING THROUGH THE ENTIRE ARC AND COMIC WAS AN EXPERIENCE YOU ARE AN AMAZING ARTIST THANK U AGAIN AND GOODNIGHT

I've been opening and closing this ask all day bc I don't think I can formulate a response fit for your genuinely kind words :')

I'm so happy you enjoyed my stuff & hopefully it continues to bring you joy for a long time! I also never expected so much positive feedback on my little "book arc" from so many different people, so I just wanna say thank you and everyone else who read through the entire thing, it really means a lot! I wish you the best life :)

6 and 18!

Incredible, the answer is Jetman for both. shocking development from me, The Jet Man

6. But fr Jetman's mechs are absolutely peak to me. I like sentai mechs fine but I wouldn't call myself a big mech mark EXCEPT for these handsome boys. perfectly on theme, great color schemes and I love how spaced out their introductions are, makes them feel more earned in a way

TETRA BOY ESPECIALLY. sure he's not avian themed but basing the remote controlled mech on a rockem sockem robot is genius. I love his movements generally, how bouncy and quickly he runs but his punches still feel like they have weight to them. AND HE'S A GIANT GUN TOO. MY SON IS PERFECT CHEER AND CLAP FOR HIM NOW

Spoilers under the cut for 18. blease watch Jetman

18. its Maria/Rie, who else would it be. Ryu spent soooooo long trying to find a way to bring her beloved Rie and got SO close SO MANY TIMES but ultimately couldn't. and poor fucking Rie, when she finally breaks free of the Vyram's control, she's too horrified by all the evil she's committed to even consider returning to how she was with Ryu. and what's worse it that she's not unfounded thinking like that, bc yeah its simply not possible anymore, they've changed too much. and I like how she gets one last stab (heh) at Radiguet

Honorable mention to Tranza who got a WORSE fate than death. like yeah the guy sucked but why did they do that him like jesus christ

February Reading Round Up! In reverse chronological order of finishing

Reinventing Revolution: New Social Movements and the Socialist Tradition in India by Gail Omvedt

Been meaning to read for a long long time, was serendiptiously a reading groups' choice and on my tumblr dash. Very good, detailed tour of movements that have complicated "class first" - caste, gender, peasant, tribal and their evolution theoretically and historically. Enjoyed how obviously socialist and critical Omvedt is of regressive trends and fair to the demands of popular organising that trouble us. I made so many notes, and intend to revist her perspective later when I've studied more. Where I was familiar with secondary literature like, caste I think she did an excellent job illustrating the limitations and need for Ambedakrite movements.

The Final Question by Chattopadhyay, Sarat Chandra

Bengali literature written in dialogue with the anti colonial movement's understanding of the new role of the Indian woman, this book is angry in the best way. Something very Dostoyevsky like in the arguments between the characters, but, instead of a religious worldview you have a deeply modern, materialist worldview being sharply advocated for against revanchist cultural trends in the novel's heroine Kamal. It holds up really well for a book in 1936, and its tenderness in handling every character's hopes and despair is deeply touching.

The Play Of Dolls Stories by Narain, Kunwar

Tumblr Mutual Book Club pick! Short Story collection by Hindi experimental poet and writer. Very evocative stories that have the best onion like layers of thematic interests. Oft satirical but never bleak, with the exception of the last story which felt like an odd addition to the set.

Her Body and Other Parties: Stories by Machado, Carmen Maria

Short Story collection as well, feminist and queer themes. I'd already read the Husband Stitch and was interested in what else the author could do, unfortunately not a lot more thematically. The stories are tightly written and gripping, only that they don't reveal much to me.

Dumb Luck by Vũ, Trọng Phụng

Tumblr Mutual Book Club pick as well. Relentlessly, satirically bleak, also colonial writing. This one is set in Vietnam when it was in French Indochina. Tetra said that every character is an antagonist and FR. Vicious, and a little too bleak for my taste, this is a more traditionalist critique of Vietnamese elite aping the French. The gender politics are absolutely bonkers, the translation I read does a pretty decent job of transferring the text's humor to modern idiom.

Vita & Virginia: A Double Life by Gristwood, Sarah

Biography of Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackwille-West, picked up on a whim because of my interest in Woolf's 'madness' and her romantic letters. Really enjoyed reading the complicated polyamorous love lives these literati had. Virginia's struggles with her illness are quite movingly portrayed. Illustrated with pictures of the beautiful homes and gardens the subjects spent their time in so fun for me! Enjoyed how conversant the author was with their literary output and its critical reception and impact. Made me want to finish reading my Woolf books.

The Stranger by Camus, Albert

I thought I'd like this more. The distanced narrator is very poorly executed, so the protagonist's redemption? revelations? towards the end of the novel kind of fell flat. Style over substance problem I think.

The Horizon (Sumer, #2) by Gautam Bhatia

Conclusion to The Wall, also one of those I wish I'd liked a lot more than I did. Very fast paced in its third act, well plotted but weakened by its repeated revelation of this character is ACTUALLY on this SIDE. Like, its done with every family member of the protagonist. Worldbuilding remains memorable if a bit predictable. Would make a better movie.

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

Personally I love an old man vs a fish, even if it does not have the gay content Moby Dick promised. Excellent use of the novel for investigating the interiority of a man. It's been a short story kind of month I suppose.

Lady Chatterley's Lover by Lawrence, D.H.

I have already complained about how fascist this book is. Why does modern commentary elide on its very violent racism and sexism and homophobia? I don't think its erotic worldview offers much to not fascist post sex liberation readers lol.

The Idiot by Batuman, Elif

Sorry. Girl at Harvard was not compelling as expected, but I did get a lot from the third act where the protagonist confronts her love interest for real - honest writing that doesn't shy away from difficult conversations.

The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov, Mikhail

Stalin era Soviet satire (its a month for it!) Very conversant with Faust, which I had not read so that I think diminished my understanding of the book. Absurd, very Christian and very funny about the comedic aspects of Soviet life. Loved the ending, almost Tolkein like in its hope for pretty broken characters.

The World in a Grain of Sand: Postcolonial Literature and Radical Universalism by Majumdar, Nivedita

Postcolonial Lit: The Takedown. Incisive, excellent, gave me a lot of books I want to try that the author points to as bucking the trend of compliance to particularist, oft parochial and usually defeatist understandings that dominate the genre.

Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

also Bookclub pick. Devastating. Very effective use of the limited POV to illustrate the way shame damns love. Every few pages wrecked me. Tight and sparing with characterisation + description, but delirious with how emotionally close you ride with the protagonist. Best book I have read in a while.
