Classic Zelda games: "So Link doesn't talk because he's meant to resemble you the player 🥰"

Echoes of Wisdom: "Link doesn't talk because his ability to speak was physically taken from him by a dark force"

(edit: since I need people to understand Link can't talk at all. It was forced out of him. It's not a choice. That part of him was consumed)

Trying to explain why naming your new "Protectors of Cybertron" after a group of revolutionists took out one magnus and erased a good chunk of the planets history under the orders of another is a terrible idea.

---

With Sentinel being promoted to Magnus, a new head of elite guard had to be picked.

Jazz WOULD have been the next pick but with him dipping out to spend more time on Earth for who knows how long, the slots left open.

Only problem? None of the Elite Guard want it. Few were willing to work directly under Sentinel when he was the top Prime, but now as acting Magnus? Being at his beck and call 24/7 is a nightmare position- promotion be damned.

Elita ends up drawing the short straw here (she swears Warpath rigged it), and Sentinel was all for it. Besides her extreme competence, Elita's connections to Alpha Trion can help him keep the old rustbucket in line.

Their team up is a strangely effective one, despite the nonstop bickering.

Myrtle: what's your awareness level inside all of us? Like, do you only know what we know?

Stimey: ohh, well, I think I know a fair amount. It's interesting I'm still me in all of your bodies, but also because I'm experiencing different things in each when I project my consciousness into different bodies I begin to feel different. Almost as though I'm becoming different people. Sometimes I wonder if I could become something vast and terrible. Maybe I could. But we'll never know, I suppose. What can I help you with?

Myrtle: I was just wondering if you could pass a message to Cheese? And tell him to give us a signal when to catch up with the group.

Stimey: [in Cheese's head] I hope I'm not interrupting you at a bad time Master Cheese, but --

Cheese: Aaah!! What?!

Stimey: Myrtle and Captain Jack were both wondering if there was a time for them to move in or somehow for them to join with the rest of you.

Cheese: yeah, I mean, I'll keep you up to date. I'll send you some messages when I know a little bit more. Thank you for checking in. Uh, don't use my eyes next time. Just use like, your voice. Not inside my eyes. Thank you.

Stimey: not inside your eyes? I can grab whichever of your senses that you like. I could make you taste a message or a feeling on your skin.

Cheese: oh, Stimey, you're so creepy, man.

Stimey: why? Oh, I didn't mean to be, what have I done wrong? Remember, I'm only from one room and I have no idea about society and the world.

Cheese: oh man, and boundary issues too. Okay, thanks Buddy. Just tuck yourself down deep inside me, I guess. Uh, ugh.

Stimey: I already have my friend, I already have.

Cheese: oof.

In my humble opinion, the successful retellings of Snow White take the relationship between Snow and the Wicked Queen and really dig into why the queen is so desperate to be beautiful and why Snow is still the fairest because of her kindness.

My favorite examples of this are Gail Carson Levine's Fairest, and the movie Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarves. In both of these retellings, Snow White is conventionally unattractive. And how society views Snow White in these stories is drastically different from how they view the Wicked Queen. There is a privilege to being beautiful. Both Snow White and the Wicked Queen know this. But the Wicked Queen will do anything to have that privilege--that power--over her subjects. Whether it's to use her beauty to manipulate people or because she's desperate for love is what makes her such an interesting character. Snow White, on the other hand, gets a taste of how people would treat her if she was conventionally attractive, at least in these stories. And when she realizes that people are finally able to appreciate her or praise her or HELP HER because of her looks, she's forced to ask herself the question whether she'll choose to keep being "beautiful" or if she'll go back to being herself because society's definition of beauty isn't worth the cost.

Snow White and the Wicked Queen are foils. They represent how conventional beauty standards can pressure woman and pit them against each other. They represent how a mother, related by blood or not, can become jealous because the simple act of growing older makes her less attractive than her daughter in society's eyes and that means she's going to be treated differently as a result.

All this to say, if you turn Snow White's story into Snow White becomes a "Strong Independent Female Who Doesn't Need Any Prince And Is Growing Into the Leader She was Born to Be" then you lose that commentary about what true beauty is. You lose the chance to ask what makes someone the fairest and why. If you aren't asking why the Wicked Queen wants to be the fairest to the point of having a huntsman cut out a child's heart, then you're missing out on the entire point of the fairy tale.

"don't push your beliefs on my children"

a 17 year old CHILD is walking around spreading pro israel propaganda while racing in motorsports

he's sponsored and supported by the idf. the exact people who are pretending they arent murdering men, women, and children because of their race.

he had a helmet with all the missing israelis, which is in no way inherintly wrong until you realize he's ignoring the thousands of dead and missing palestinians.

he's posing for photos and celebrating while wearing a hoodie that says "free our hostages" while ignoring the thousands of palestinians trapped in rafah and being held hostage in concentration camps.

he's posting videos and pictures having fun in israel while on that same land palestinians are being starved, abused, and murdered.

but it doesnt matter. because he's a white man. nothing matters to him.

they only want you to shut up when you dont believe what they want you to.

from the jordan to the mediterranean palestine will be free.
