Someone tell me it isn't the time to reread all of @themarydragon 's Trouble the Water series. Somebody stop me, because I went in the Zelink tab for TWO MINUTES and this could start a brainrot domino session that ends up with me rereading the whole series and then going and replaying totk and crying.

WIP
A not-yet-edited segment of my TotK, Zelda POV fic that extends the CWRD universe, below the cut. Working title: Still So It Flows For context, this is how I'm dealing with the continuity problems I talked about in the rant-post I just made.
MAJOR spoilers for TotK and my own WIP below the cut. I'm serious, don't click if you don't want to be spoiled.
[Set before meeting with Mineru but after arriving in Sonia's era and spending a night recovering and getting new clothes. Zelda is hesitent to speak of her era to Sonia, not wanting to damage the flow of time. Sonia, who was knitting, holds up a ball of yarn, and asks Zelda if she knits]
“Oh, you should. It really helps with figuring out some of the things Mineru talks about, with ones and zeros. Regardless, take this ball of yarn. There is an end buried somewhere in the middle, and then this end, here. And the two are connected, through hundreds of meters of fiber. You could move from one end to the other by unwinding the entire ball, or-“ she poked her finger into the middle and after a moment withdrew it, the other end looped around her knuckle “-some of us, like you, can jump from one place to another and skip the in-between. It might even be possible to move the yarn to the place you want it, but that is beyond my knowing.”
“So, your belief is that, rather than traversing backwards through the entire stretch of Hyrulian history, I hopped across a narrow point in the stream?”
Sonia smiled warmly at me. “More or less. History repeats itself. Events recur, kingdoms rise and fall and rise again. Perhaps in other realities, other worlds, the loop is longer. Perhaps there are places where the coils are more regular, the flow is a lazy river rather than a roiling ball of yarn. This, though, is the point at which creation is protected; entropy is pushed back, creation is reaffirmed, and then it happens again. And again. Endlessly, while the rest of creation whirls around us and grows and changes, we fork and split and merge and wrap back upon ourselves, every possible outcome explored on the way through.”
“And therefore anything I tell you about my future, you might have already heard, as a legend of a time long past.”
Sonia nodded at me, pleased. “When was the great flood? The seas covered the land, and the zora fled to the surface, eventually soaring through the air as they once did through the water. Countless years later, they are the rito. When was this flood?”
“The… what?”
“The zora and the rito are both here, now – are they in your time, as well?”
“They… yes. Yes, we have zora and rito both.”
“The zora yet live, so the flood is in the future. But the rito are with us, so the flood is in the far past. Do you see?”
“I… I think… I might?”
“When something is created – the rito in this instance – it becomes another ply in the yarn, another stream feeding into the river. Hylia becomes human, another ply in the yarn, and all the many events of our times are run through with this new added weight. Perhaps at one point there were no Gorons, no Zora even. Perhaps once the only race upon Hyrule were the Hylians. That makes it seem like you didn’t travel very far at all.”
“How…? How do you know all this?”
Sonia winked at me, and then flicked her tea spoon to the floor. While I watched, she frowned at it, and then it glowed yellow and rose back to its place on the table.
“You play with the flows of time long enough, you get a feel for it.”

You are between my eye and what I see. Forgive my errant gaze. Tonight, I can’t sleep.

We learn more about the mysterious killer leading the hunt on Rachel and we have a predictable homage to Assault on Precinct 13. Good action, but the predictability and the weaker Russo/Madani storyline, as well as the flagging main one is pulling the show down a bit.

WOAH can we see the skull if thats ok?? that sounds so cool (also only 20€????)
Also since it's hollow you can stick led lights in there for this sort of effect (pardon the mushy quality):
#like I said it's a real Asian water buffalo skull#these are carved by hand in Indonesia mostly in Bali I believe#to my understanding skull carving is a long standing tradition over there but most pieces like this seem to be made for & sold to tourists#I got this one second (third?) hand and I suspect that perhaps the seller didn't know what it was and what they're worth#and yet they graciously agreed to go through the trouble of packaging it carefully and shipping it to the other side of the country#which couldn't have been very easy since it's a big and heavy skull#answered#apricottheapricat#vulture culture#animal death#cw animal death#taxidermy#cw taxidermy

A Patreon request for Gaster and Alphys hanging out, haha. Don't stand under the waterfall, Gaster!
[index]
#undertale#handplates#gaster#alphys#z art#get wrecked#i had trouble thinking of something easily recognizable that could hit him and also not knock his head off#briefly considered a printer but i think that'd be too heavy#faceplants right into the water#those glasses fall in there and you're never seeing them again

With the year coming to a close, we’ve decided…
