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.

#It's little details spread across the games like this that just makes it work so WELL it's SO COOL #They're all great at all parts of the triforce but they CHOOSE to focus on the path most meaningful to them #And that's literally reflected in their unique cycles of reincarnation isn't that just AMAZING #And that's why the team up is so important! If they were all working against each other they'd be locked spinning their wheels #If zelda and ganon teamed up link would immediately die and if link and ganon teamed up zelda would instantly perish #It's the link zelda team up that means ganon is the one who kicks it #Also the elemental thing was cool but they do jump around a bit. Like wind is there half the time #In botk the gerudo have lightning and the goron have fire. Farosh still has lightning tho and dinraal fire #In ss lanaryu was the lightning and faron had water like its all over the place thematically. And that's when it's only 3!#Don't even get me started on the 5/7 lots notankyu #But that's the most common group and it's also thematically accurate #Fire being the only one able to self perpetuate with fuel. Can be banked up again. Ice compresses with time but needs the right environment #Lightning go boom 👍 you can feel the static in the air but you don't know when/where it'll strike and then it's all over #Like fr it's hilarious zelda and ganon are playing the long game and link runs past eats all the pieces and while ganons yelling after him #Zelda checkmates his king. And nobody can prove she wasn't cheating because nobody was looking lmao #Ah the duality of metaphors #ANYWAY isn't that so neat???#Reason no.372 why rhoam was a terrible king he didn't just screw up he did it ✨thematically✨#If link had been allowed to run off and get dirty and if zelda was allowed to study her interest (like post kingdom fall FOR EXAMPLE)#They'd have won (like aoc) but nooooooo. I've already made a post (or 3) about it lmao I'll be quiet now #loz #legend of zelda #botw #triforce #loz link #the legend of zelda #zelda #loz botw #ganondorf #loz ganon

Captain Diaz being snappier than usual after breaking it off with Marisol and Buck offering to help him relax and Eddie's hackles r rising but Buck's blushing and stammering that he just meant they should go get drinks. Eddie's on edge enough that he decides, fuck it- Chris is old enough to be home alone. He'll go get drunk with the damn probie.

Eddie realising maybe the kid can't hold his liquor as well as he'd expected, despite being a frat boy and all. Buck is wasted, eyelashes fluttering temptingly as Eddie throws back another shot to keep his buzz intact without doing something stupid.

By the end of the night, he makes the executive decision that Buck's coming back to his place.. not like that! No, it has nothing to do with Eddie wanting to see him in the morning. He can't just leave him alone- that wouldn't be very captainly of him.. he has to take care of his team! That's the only reason Buck's grinning so sweetly up at him as they ride back to the Diaz house.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL WOLRD!!!!!!

#anon….this had me smiling at my phone so bad my sister asked who I was talking to….#i cannot add anything meaningful to this right now this second but it is so so so good #i just needed the world to see it NEOW #tv: 911 #buddie #asks #captaindiaz x buck1.0

Me: throw this war criminal fascist character to the gulag where they gotta produce items like school books to improve the material conditions of the people she oppressed

Arcane fans: actually you need to be thrown into the gulag!!!!

Other Arcane fans: I hope a billionaire steals your work to train the dream-crushing-machine!!!!

Me: yeah you surely sound like the kind of person to think there is nothing wrong with arcanes caitvi

#yeah you certainly proved to me that i m wrong about my assumptions about you :)#threatening a fictional character with forced labour is actually very different than doing it with people #just fyi #arcane critical #like can you imagine that i absolutely loved season 1 and season 2 simply... failed to engage with its own themes in a meaningful way #“arcane isnt about revolution” then why create a system so violent and unjust that only a revolution can resolve these issues?#why put french revolution imagery into the show?#why show that any kind of political organising gets violently crushed with even kids ending up in jail?#why show the class conscious in zaun rising?#its like the writers accidentally wrote a setup so well suited for a revolution without realising it #so now every end reaffirming the status quo is deeply unsatisfying #'breaking the cycle of violence' is propaganda of those who are being benefited by the violent system itself #arcane season two is fascinating because of all of these issues #and it shows how the writers wrote themselves into a corner through not understanding the issues they wrote into their own story #if you include severe police brutality but the only way it gets 'solved' is through caitvi #than thats just not using your setup right #anyway

Coming atcha in this incredible sweater I inherited from my late grandfather

#spitblaze says things #im so sad i never got a chance to ask him to take me clothes shopping before his health went down the tubes and i figured myself out #i kinda feel that way with grief anyway. a lot of oughta coulda woulda shoulda. feeling like i squandered my time with them #that it wasnt meaningful enough. that we didnt form enough of a connection #but whatever its too late now. just gotta keep it in mind moving forwards. making connections and reaching out to ppl is So Fucking Hard #but its worth it and i KNOW its worth it and im tired of feeling like i never truly got to know someone before it was too late #im very bad at initiating conversations. im trying to work on it but starting shit is the hardest thing in the world for me #if we're friends and havent talked in a while feel free to reach our #like. maybe nor right this minute its like 11 and ive spent all day either driving or with family. im wiped #but yknow #see. him face #ftm #transmasc #nonbinary #transmasculine

So here we are

...again

#a preview for next week #because i'm losing my mind over the next chapter #in the best way #i wrote this chapter last fall with no intention of it ever seeing the light of day #i was just having fun writing for them and getting to know them #the word 'again' has a link to my first post of the two of them #the photo i took right after finishing this chapter the first time #it felt fitting to recreate it now #as time went on i really wanted to share their whole story #and then i heard this song and it sparked inspiration for this entire arc #every time i hear the intro i see this image of the two them walking together #so it was fun to finally create it #it's so simple.. nothing special really.. but meaningful to me nonetheless yknow #for me... sharing this chapter now feels like a full circle moment #even tho we're only half way through this arc lol #anyway.. i hope you enjoy this week's chapter as much as i've enjoyed writing it and bringing it to life #enjoy the good feels while they last lol #💛🩵#aries outtakes #atlas extras #asher extras #spotify

sometimes you just have to space out in the shower about names for a few minutes

#heart of the void #this isn’t really about selfshipping but it still feels right to put on this blog instead of my other primary one so here it is #I just really like picking fitting and/or meaningful names for my self-inserts #because it helps me establish each one as her own self within the context of the given setting #and also sometimes they can be really symbolic (Linaria’s stands out as an example to me. I’m so proud of having landed on that for her)#but I was also thinking about names and nicknames that people use for me too #like for example - I like being called aria but only if it’s by friends I know well and interact with a lot/for a long time #otherwise it doesn’t feel right. but when it *does* feel right it feels *so right* and it just makes me really happy #and it’s just nice that something so simple - something not given much thought by the person using it - can make me feel so happy!#is that odd? perhaps it is. but it doesn’t change the fact I smile when it happens #and if all of this is rambly and nonsensical you can blame the fact that I should have gone to bed over an hour ago #I will now attempt to rest #but I hope people here can have a good rest of their day #self-inserts #self‑insert: world's last vestige (linaria)#..a bit #I’m still counting it

"They should've killed ___ instead of ___" What if we stopped killing characters for shock value? What if we got better at writing? What about that, huh?

#stargate #stargate atlantis #sga #sg1 #stargate sg1 #this is not only about stargate #but stargate specifically has me heated right now #but this happens all the time and it never fails to piss me off #if a character's going to die make it /fucking/ meaningful #anyway i will probably be rambling a bunch this morning #because i have 3.5 hours of work left #and i slept maybe 2 last night #currently i am being fueled by spite #not even sure if this is coherent right now i am so tired lmaooo

People like this have made me terrified that I am mischaracterizing my favorite character by playing into his strengths and emphasizing them so much... That I'm making things "too anime", "too over-the-top", and by doing that straying away from the groundedness that made the character compelling in the first place... But I think it's better to be a fan who loves someone so much they're willing to step into goofy over-the-top showcases of strength and morals out of love than being a fake fan who only ever rags on what they proclaim is so dear to them. I dunno. I don't think I'm wrong in saying that. I'm hella insecure when it comes to my own writing, especially with this guy because I want to do him as much justice as I possibly can as a writer. But I have to convince myself that it's not too much.

#logs #it doesn't help that i've been exposed to a lot of bad writing and cynical critique in general‚ so i'm even more fearful...#but i think the cure for that is to just... read more‚ and read with an honest heart #i don't know... i feel like i have a lot of growth to do as a person‚ as a reader and writer before i can execute this to the level where it #can truly be considered a masterpiece. grounded‚ yet not so. over-the-top in every way while also providing meaningful critique and #commentary on the nature of humanity. gutwrenching dialogue packed neatly with the most insane displays of asskicking. commentary on how war #is cruel and bad and only sows misery contrasted with the coolest battle scenes you have ever seen. these are the essence of the things i #love‚ and i want to be able to channel that through my own writing as well. it's the only way to do justice to the source material‚ the only #way to truly pay a tribute to the things that i love.#now that i am free‚ i can finally become more cultured... read more books‚ watch more films‚ inhale old mecha anime... it's what i've always #dreamed of doing #i just need to undo the mental shackles of ''i cannot do this right now''... i can. i finally can. i just need to let my mind catch up to #that. give it a little push along the way #once that's done... the journey begins.#i anguish a lot over the fact that my writing is locked in a tomb for the next decade... but sometimes‚ like now‚ i think‚ hey‚ maybe that #isn't so bad. imagine how many movies you can watch in those ten years... good movies‚ bad ones‚ exceptional ones... i'll have grown so much #as a writer by that point in time because i'll have learned the ''how'' part of what i want to write. i have the ''what'' already‚ and a #general idea of ''how''‚ but... ten years from now‚ i'll be able to write everything in a way that truly makes my eyes shine #a rare moment of me being hopeful for the future... i cherish it as those don't last very long in my life. i more often tend to despair #(cursed be the chemical disbalance!)#but yeah. there is a lot to look forward to despite the hardships. sure it would've been nice to just... have it all here‚ but... that's not #the world i live in. and maybe this one isn't so bad‚ either.#i have my box of scraps. now i just need to make it out of the cave.#the deadliest type of man is one with motivation and a purpose. right?

#i feel like my presence here has narrowed so much because my life has narrowed so much to encompass mostly pain and frustration #with the medical system and disability and the state of my fucking country #and the occasional highlight of my cats #i can't work on my art #it's agonizing to even try and i wind up crying #and it's because this horseshit rigged system has ripped the safety out of it #i might as well give my work away for free since they want to take 100% of my earnings out of my check #which like i am not even remotely opposed to giving my work away (would prefer even) but we need the money and i'm not allowed to keep it #i don't know #my life is just so small right now and i don't know how to find meaning again in a world that keeps so much of what i love away from me #it's a slog and every day is the same #and nothing i do feels meaningful #except holding my cats and being with my boyfriend #and that's about all i can do.

ok yk what. now that i’ve had some time to process nghy canon, considering the current pacing of gen retcon, i think their next step is as ✨clear as day✨

i really like seeing them happy together, but i truly do think that they should divorce and either live the rest of their lives as single besties; partners in hero/heroine-isms, but better off as just friends, or go their separate ways for a bit and get back together when they’re a little older and wiser, staying together for good this time around, as each other’s first and last boyfriend/girlfriend

#‘haven’t you had quite enough of pushing your divorce agendas??? like with lxl????’ no. never.#idk i think part of their charm was nagisa’s patience and genuine earnest love for hiyori #and hiyori’s determination to achieve her goals of becoming a true heroine in every sense of the word…#but the current pacing is kinda… um. i really love how nghy is now truly canon ofc. but… it feels too rushed?#like they’re just checking off a box on a ‘relationships to go’ checklist?#and nagisa’s sudden second confession? in a throwaway line? what was that all about man… when did that even happen? excuse?#i think it’d have been more meaningful if hiyori was the one to confess without any prompting (to lead to their relationship)…#and. uh. don’t take this the wrong way but… noontea seemed a little peer pressure-y to me.#it kinda felt like juri and chizu were pressuring hiyori into getting a bf… it’s been eating away at me ever since i tried to tl it. but.#…idk. point is. i think a relationship built on those foundations (peer pressure/fomo and a suddenly persistent guy(???)) is doomed to fail #and so i think nghy should divorce. maybe they’ll reconnect romantically in a few years #(fulfilling nagisa’s agreement to be hiyori’s ‘last bf’ as well as having been her ‘first bf’ during their first try at a relationship)#or they could just be besties till the end of time; having been each other’s hero and heroine once upon a time #ik hw doesn’t do breakups of their main couples (not since nakimushi kareshi eons ago i think…)#but i think they should give it another go for nghy. maybe it’d make their love story a little more compelling #and maybe we could all unite under the cheers of hoping that ng and hy get back together in the future as more mature adults…?#idk i just. think the ‘right person; wrong time’ trope could work for nghy #like how it went in sukiuso/heroika with nagisa’s failed confession #even then they were the right person for each other; it just wasn’t the right time for them to date (personal goals/long distance/etc)#so maybe. this time ‘round even though they’ve started dating circumstances could still pop up here and there and maybe…?#…but idk~~~~~~~~ maybe it’s just the 5am thoughts or something that’s finally putting my incoherent trains of thoughts into words…#point is!!!!!! the current pacing is awkward!!!!!!!!! nghy deserve better!!!!!!! and their love story needs to be treated with more care!!!!#idk are hw trying to speedrun nghy for h10w bc nghy’s. like. a mix of different features of their previous couples #which would make ‘em the perfect couple to bring h10w together(???) or something???#but idk. im still really really happy the nghy is canon but. there are some mixed feelings here and there too…#idk dudes this has gotten way too long for its own good so ig i’ll stop here…#live laugh love nghy canon but… i still think they should break up for *at least* a year or so to reasses their relationship #sorry nghy… it’s for your own good i swear… i truly want you to be happy together!!!! i really do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been less than a decade of legal gay marriage in the US (2015) -- not even the majority of my life -- but it really feels so far in the past. I was reading a fanfic and was like "why is this so weird about gayness??" and then I remembered the source is set in the 2000s - the author was just being time period accurate. And like. Okay I remember gay marriage. I remember first hearing about it when I was 8 and it taking a couple years but becoming a thing and in 8th grade (I was 14) I had a teacher who was queer married but would never talk about it but in 7th grade some of my classmates had a younger teacher who would gush about her wife. I've heard again and again, "growing up, gay marriage wasn't legal. I didn't have hope for a happy future." I remember that post with the flower girl dog "a few years ago, this wouldn't have been legal" "and for a second I lived in a world where homophobia didn't exist." Just this idea that gay marriage being legal is the norm for me and young people in most of the West. It's not new anymore. We still hear news about gay marriage being legalized in other countries but it's just so normal here now. Kids today aren't growing up under the othering idea that gay people can't get married -- they're growing up in a world where they're going to meet happy gay married couples and they're going to know gay people get married not because they've had to wait for decades for it to be legal, but because they met and fell in love and got engaged afterwards. They can see their happy future. We're so lucky.

You know who has had gay marriage legal for the majority of their life? A 15 year old. Not that young. I'm so grateful for everyone who came before and made this happen. I'm usually such a downer about the state of the world but some things aren't so bad. Some things are quite nice after all.
