My boyfriend: *showing me a Ghost meme*

Me: Oh hey, that's my guy!

Boyfriend: Really? I didn't know you play Call of Duty!

Me: That's cause I haven't in like 10 years. I just really like Ghost. I dunno why I like him so much though, since I don't like the military and don't play the games. Weird, huh?

My sweet boyfriend, with no hesitation: You probably see a bit of yourself reflected in him. And subconsciously you feel like understanding and liking him is a step closer to understanding and liking yourself.😊

Me: ...

even if i didnt love botw as much as i do, totk drives me nuts bc, similarly to pokemon, this series is so SO SO full of potential, they have so many games they can pull from, theres so many themes, characters and worldbuilding thats just left to rot, you dont need to connect anything with a chain to old titles, you dont need to bring back any things that already had their ending, but PLEASE harness at least a fraction of all this!!!! and they just refuse to do it beyond shallow references

totk jsut drives it all home to me, bc this isnt just the next game in the franchise, but a DIRECT SEQUEL no 10 years apart from botw, yet they cant even, they REFUSE to even keep the continuity with its OWN lore it established in botw together, and that, i think, is what truly makes me so insane (derogatory) about totk

it PROVES they do not care, they dont care to build on anything of the lore of old titles beyond references in form of amiibos or whatever, they dont even care to make a sequel to their most successful game in the franchise coherent with its own lore

botw established a captivating detailed world full of potential, while lacking in active storytelling, it had environmental storytelling, characters and ideas that were the perfect ground to build on-

and then they do away with it bc idk .. they want you to build mechs and make videos of it that go viral and thats all they care about or something

shiekah tech? forget that existed character being the character you know? act as if you are seeing them for the first time just like they are lame story? dont think about that just be distracted by the epic presentation of it lore the previous title established? forget that, all that matters is what is here and now beloved character from old games beign brought back? hes a new guy and has no background and no lore and just sits waiting for you at the end to have a flashy fight with references from old titles and their lore? just here for nostalgie bait, dont you remember? you LOVE this series, now give me 70 bucks for a glorified DLC that ruins what you loved about the series and makes you realize that nothign matters and nothing is interesting anymore

you are supposed to take it all at face value, to not think about anything, to see a character say something and just go with it, and forget it the second its over, be distracted by good music and pretty visuals, but dont think about, dont think about anything but what is directly said to you like you have no critical thinking skills, forget there was a game before this one, only the one you play matters, empty your skull and dont let yourself feel anything but what the game tells you to feel

if they dont even care to make the sequel to their most successful game actually build on the previous title, dont even care to keep their continuity of two games supposedly directly happening one after the other in tact- maybe they never cared, and all the meaning we thought we saw them build into their games was all accidental and meaningless

and that is absolutely soul crushing for fans like me to discover

its a game. its not a story, its not a world, its not themes, its not characters, its not lore. its a product made to make you pay money, not to make you think about anything.

Partner:

Me, in my Mom's voice, LOUDLY:

TWO....THREE....FOUR....TWO TOGETHER...YARN OVER

Partner:

Oh sorry; you're knitting.

cpurpled’s role as a weapon genuinely haunts me btw. so little people ever regarded him as anything else. manberg, the eggpire, quackity, dream, punz, hell, even the audience only sought him out when they needed a weapon. when a job needed to be done. they never cared about him as a person. so few people ever sought him out for anything other than their own gain, and he ended up pushing away the ones that didn’t. the violence of the many led him to isolating himself from the only people who actually showed him kindness

**major he who drowned the world spoilers**

Okay I’m still an incoherent rambling mess rn but oh my god. Oh my fucking god. The way Esen (literally) haunts the narrative, but only because Ouyang and Baoxiang think he is. The way Esen’s ghost never showed itself to Baoxiang, as in the way Baoxiang couldn’t reconcile himself to the whole truth of Esen- the clumsy kindness and attempts at understanding and the solidity of brother, side by side with all the oblivious cruelty; two inextricable facets of the same person. The way Esen both dead and alive was a mirror for Ouyang and Baoxiang to see the parts of themselves they hated most, the way he never knew it. The way they loved him at the end, but killed him anyway because they couldn’t bear it. The way they used their memories of him as knives to twist into themselves, deeper and deeper until the end, as both punishment and justification for betraying him. Oughhhhhhhhhhh

Dermatillomania + Anxiety(especially of the health kind, usually actually manifesting in health-related obsessions because OCD is so much fun) is such a fucking deadly combo

Because Anxiety increases picking. So you start to pick. And then it’s uneven. And now, your brain’s telling you you HAVE to finish what you started otherwise it will heal wrong the skin will grow back wrong you will get infected and it will be bumpy and stick up and just be like that forever

So, naturally you pick and you pick until uh oh! Pain! Redness! Light swelling! You’re infected! You like said appendage/body part? Haha well no more :3 It will most certainly get infected, and they’ll probably have to amputate! You hear me? You’ll loose it. You’ll loose it. You will wither and rot away and there’s nothing you can do about it. You won’t be able to do the things you love anymore. Because you’ll loose it. Can you feel the infection creeping up your veins? It’s spreading. It’s spreading. If you don’t check. If you don’t go to the ER, you might even loose more of the body part! You need to go get it checked. You need to go get it checked. YOU’RE GOING TO LOOSE IT. IT’S INFECTED. IT’S ROTTING.
