#Toastshark rambles

There needs to be a special kind of analog-nostalgia for whatever the heck was going on with the touch screens of the Nintendo DS. Cuz, yeah it‘s a touch screen, but it doesn‘t feel like one, y‘know? It feels more tactile, closer to buttons than modern touchscreens. Honestly that type of touch screen could be a honorary analogue feature, as a treat <3

PALS WAKE UP ANIMATION IN IBISPAINT JUST DROPPED

Hat Bayern eig jemals spezifiziert, in wiefern das Gendern ausserhalb vom * verboten ist? Oder kann man einfach von nun an die feminine Form für alles benutzen. Gendern is ja jetz verboten, also Männer und Frauen geht dann ja nicht, muss frau sich halt für eins entscheiden. Wäre bestimmt lustig zu sehen, wie die Politikerinnen darauf reagieren.

Thinking about ye olden days back when I used to be really into creepypasta, and the Creepypasta Mansion is actually such a funny concept? Not just in on itself, but also on an in-usiverse level because like. Most of them are just regular ass teenagers

I mean sure, you’ve got the main man, Slenderman, and sometimes BEN is also there with Smile Dog as the family pet, but the rest is just people wearing masks. And Jeff’s also there. So you’ve got 1 spooky guy, a ghost kid haunting the internet, a very photogenic pupper and a bunch of regular human teens who’re wanted for murder.

Forget household chores or plumbing, how do they even get food

Did Slendy or Ben ring up Herobrine so he’ll show them build a farm? Go on family hunting trips so Smile Dog can run around a bit? Buy some pizza and kill the deliverer? Maybe Slendy sometimes just goes to some gas station that’s near his spooky woods and buy stuff like a proper citizen that acts the way he dresses. Is he messing with the poor workers’ head every time he goes there. Is said worker just Jeff with a face mask. Do they run a gas station. Are they subscribed to Hello Fresh

Y’know chat as much as I am a diehard believer of "videogame osts should be recognized as real music already“, going to a wedding only to suddenly be blasted with the Zelda Twilight Princess Desert Theme at max volume was still quite the juxtaposition of associations tbh. Eating food in real life with the constant underlying fear of getting swarmed by Moldorms again was not on my bingo card anytime soon

Ngl the ads did that Wonka movie so dirty? This isn’t another []and the Chocolate Factory remake, it’s a magic mafia musical movie! And also a prequel. Though mostly a musical about escaping the Chocolate Mafia lmao

[beardedhandstoadshark]

TIL Brave Frontier, which died ~6 years ago, has in fact been SO dead that they forgot to pull their untranslated spinoff clicker game from the store too

So now the actual game is dead but its weird chibi cousin is still kicking cuz no one cared to stop the store front updates or check if their Japan-exclusive game is...actually Japan exclusive lmao

Generally very nostalic since I did play BF for quite a while, especially the music, but hilarious they're even still showing ads for the real game like fam it's DEAD

[beardedhandstoadshark]

Ok but what‘s the deal with the Howling Stones

very obviously Sheikah made despite then being practically nonexistent for a century or two

the Gossip Stone‘s wonky looking cousin; yet the actual stones were gotten rid of, so why are those things somehow still around?

if they were made before the gossip stones were destroyed, they probs would’ve been destroyed too - so they were only made afterwards? But why was that okay again?

they’re connected to a whole ass parallel soul dimension owned by a dead guy

said dead guy is only around because he regrets not being able to teach his skills to anyone while alive, yet that means he couldn‘t have had the foresight or time to set those stones up with the express purpose to help as a dead guy in the first place

the dead guy also doesn‘t actually need whatever magic is in those stones to appear or unlock the realm, so what is the purpose of the stones if it‘s not a key or call? What exactly do the stones do that make them necessary for Link to visit them first, instead of the wolf waiting for him directly like he did the first time?

the dead guy doesn‘t even do Sheikah magic

seriously, how did, of all characters, the spirit formerly known as Link Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask gain apparent access, ownership and control to a fantasy-ninjutsu powered stone info network and pocket dimension, and most likely only after he kicked the bucket

speaking of, the secret 7th howling stone that‘s placed in the Lost Woods, is the only one not sending you to the spirit dimension, calls skull-kid instead, by using zelda’s lullaby, all implying that regardless of the other howling stones’ creation, this one comes from stalfos grampa at least

and it has a triforce on it instead

anything that uses Sheikah/information/whatever magic, had, at this point in the series, always the eye incorporated into its‘ design somehow, further implying the triforce and eye stones weren‘t made by the same people

so once again, who made this server for what purpose and gave the skeleton man sole admin rights

There is probably even more but its 4am here and I need to sleep, if this entire ramble wasn‘t evidence enough of that already

[beardedhandstoadshark]

why can I "follow a post" and wtf does that mean

[beardedhandstoadshark]

The Zonai are the ancestors of the Oocca, hear me out

Sky Islands

Strong connection to the royal family of Hyrule

Ancient and highly advanced technology that heavily involves the movement of inanimate objects

Including infusing souls into structures specifically designed to hold them

Which more often than not take the shape of an owl

Via magic that glows green

Similar architecture- all those round pools in totk’s sky look exactly like the pool you drop into in tp when visiting the city in the sky

Similar writing with letters that are also used as part of their magic

Love of canons and generally unorthodox means of travel

The Zonai are dragon people which are reptiles which are kinda like dinosaurs so it’d make sense that the chicken people evolved from them

According to Twilight Princess Hyrule might have been founded by the Oocca. Now combine that with the dragon to chicken evolution line. Are you seeing what I��m seeing. Are you seeing this

I rest my case

[beardedhandstoadshark]

haven‘t watched it but the music sure slaps

[beardedhandstoadshark]

If you make a modern AU of Pokemon Legends Arceus does that count as a Diamond/Pearl AU

[beardedhandstoadshark]

Oh buddy I sure love vibing at home during rain only to get a call saying I‘m flying to a diffrrent country tomorrow and gotta pack up cuz someone spontaneously decided to buy some tickets without telling anyone! Lack of communication is so great! I love it!! =DDD (sarcasm)

In other news, blog might be deserted until the end of the month, y‘all‘s dashboards are free for a few weeks lol

[beardedhandstoadshark]

No clue how I managed to write myself into a corner while drawing, but apparently it‘s possible!

Possible in this case meaning "this piece of fabric is specifically around the neck for major character lore + character trait purposes but man would it look better if it just hung from a belt instead“

…Someone please save me, Artfight is in 23h and 54 minutes. Help

[beardedhandstoadshark]

They‘re fans. The giant shoulder pad orbs are just really big fans. The Varia suit lets you go into really hot areas and looks like exactly like the power suit because it’s just the suit but with FANS. I can’t-

[beardedhandstoadshark]

Hc that the reason Brawl plays generally slower than the other games is because the events of Subspace Emissary screwed with/destabilized the fabric of reality and put many things off track, including tears between dimensions (which is how Snake could become the first 3rd party character followed by Sonic) as well as gravity, which then balanced itself out by the time of Sm4th and Ultimate.

And while we’re at it, the conspicuous undefined canyon area we keep seeing in the following games (like Megaman‘s trailer but also happens to be the exact place Kirby crash-lands after Ultimate) is one of the places that got nuked by the subspace void bombs during SE, leaving a highly unstable reality behind after the void bubble went away. That’s why new characters tend to be near or in it, and how Kirby could escape the thanos-ing of the entire multiverse, because the place technically exists between them.
