been playing tears of the kingdom. I love being able to actually explore central hyrule (I never did in my 200+ hours of botw) (you know damn well why)

🎬: Please do not remind me Kazui and Kotoko didn't get their songs covered by Es 😭 It was such a disservice. I'm gonna just chalk it up to Kazui's voice is so deep that Es couldn't sing it properly and by the time Kotoko's MV was shown to them, the first trial ended before they could even sing it.

Or, y'know. Your AU, so Es did cover their songs too.

Also another thing for post-MILGRAM hangout where Es joins in too...KARAOKE (didn't Milgram have some sort of karaoke-related event running earlier?) Or maybe they have their own karaoke party at someone's home (I know someone has a karaoke set at home!), so they sing their songs and encourage Es to sing too...and pleeeeease sing "half" and "harrow" too (this will lead to Es finding out they've been eavesdropping on their singing. Hey!). Bonus that Deco's song is such a bop in the AU that everyone sings the songs they covered.

...my train of thought is still running, but I just imagined this AU's Milgram allowed everyone to gradually accept their faults that almost led them to their crime. Soooo Mahiru is still just as sweet, BUT rocks it when she sings "Psychogram". Also Amane, I like to imagine at this point she can be a bit more of a kid (I can dream!), so she's sort of bouncing around when she sings "Positive Parade" and "Animal" while the girls dance with her.

But with that said, I hope we'll get more Es' song covers! Or at the very least make up for "half" and "harrow"...and c'mon, Es didn't get to sing at all this trial. What gives?!

RIP I know 😭 I'm hoping we'll get a bunch of covers to fill the trial hiatus, and that they'll start with those two!! I know some people were worried that they would never get covers because they didn't reach 1M before the trial closed, but I think that's an oddly unfair requirement for the later prisoners. So I'm confident we'll get them at some point!

Kotoko's does make a bit more sense -- it was right at the end of the trial, and there wasn't much too break down in the lyrics because she was very forthcoming with information/intention. And I like that explanation for Kazui's! Es was intimidated by his voice and didn't want to do it an injustice by singing it poorly. Maybe Kazui makes a snide comment that they would have actually understood his crime better if they'd studied/sang his lyrics like the others' 😅

And I love the post-Milgram thoughts! Given Yuno's mvs and her written response about liking karaoke, I can definitely see her taking everyone out to her favorite karaoke spot. I like that too because the covers were kind of an indulgent inclusion of mine -- I knew they didn't quite fit in during the trial hiatus but I really wanted it to happen asdfdsn. Like, I know Amane wouldn't do frivolous things, and Kotoko/Shidou/Kazui would try to take the situation seriously and not play around. But if it's all after the experiment... >:3

Thank you 🎬! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for those covers soon 😤🤞

Not a hot take or anything, but I still love that the current (TotK, and to some extent BotW) Link is both the most technologically advanced and also the most feral of all the Links.

Like. He eats like a starved dog, stuffing a whole pizza into his mouth with both hands and finishing it in three bites… but what other Link has mastered the art of cooking for himself?

TP Link: ooh, a pumpkin, better smash it and see if there’s money inside!

TotK Link, naked, having crash-landed an airplane in a field: ooh, a pumpkin, I’ll take it and cook it to maximize its potential (and then stuff it into my gob)!

He’ll stare transfixed at a fire for up to 23 hours like some kind of bipedal moth in the thralls of a hyperfocus session, but he can make a campfire wherever he wants. Other Links can only dream of such mastery of the elements. All your fire arrows and your Din’s Fires won’t keep you warm at night when you have nothing to light ablaze!

But like, I still can’t help but wonder what the NPCs see/think when they come across Link passing time by staring at flames like a maniac for hooooours at a time.

“is… is that the Princess’s swordsman?”

“I think so, I mean, that’s the sword that seals the darkness right there”

“is he okay? He hasn’t blinked in twelve hours”

“oh yeah, fires do this to him sometimes, it’s probably fine”

“nice outfit at least”

“yeah, the Moblin mask with the nips-out Gerudo fashion is nice, and the flameproof Goron-made pants keep his chestnuts from roasting on that open fire, very chic”

So I finally finished tears of the kingdom and I have thoughts, far too many to encapsulate here, but I'll start.

So I guess we'll start w/ my biggest mechanical problems (I wanna let story stuff stew for a bit) I'll just come out and say it then. I hate the depths they felt tedious and punishing to get through. The sense of joy and discovery that I got from exploring the over world was completely missing. This is probably because of a mix of a lack of natural beauty, no people or towns, and it being Pitch black while everything wanted to kill me.

I can almost understand how it'd be enjoyable from a more challenging point of view, but I could never get into. I'd just become frustrated, take a break, and come back a little later. I always like to get all fast travel points in a game before I get too into it, so I wanted to get all the shrines pretty quickly. Unfortunately, to do that I had to find every light root, which took up a chunk of my game play, making me tire of the game much faster than I otherwise would have.

I'm confused as to why they added the depths to the game. The only thing from it that I actually enjoyed was Master Kogha and Yiga clan, which could've been moved to the caves. Anything of interest in the depths could've easily been moved to the sky island which I feel would've been so much better. The sky islands should've been a much bigger part of the game. After the tutorial island I only went up there when grinding for shrines or chests and they rarely felt like an important part of the world, which I think is a shame for how important they were to the story.

Which leads me to my final point. Where the fuck did the depths come from? Maybe there is an explanation that I just haven't come across or it's set up for the next game like the zonai ruins were in botw, but I can't figure out why it exists. I've heard some theories that it's entirely another realm but then why does it map to the over world. Why doest it maych the over world at all? How did people get in and out of the mine? Why are former Link's stuff down there? Why? How?? What is going on down there? If it's not another dimension how does the world not, like, collapse in on itself?

Overall the depths are a confusing, tedious, unnecessary realm that nearly drove me to tears and I cannot fathom why it exists.

All that to say, I haven't seen anyone else complain about it, so if you liked it please tell me why. I'd genuinely love to know!

Have you ever thought about how Linebeck describes Jolene as "crazier than a rabid squid"- only to then be possessed by a literal rabid squid later in the game?

Cause I sure have- especially after seeing a lot of your BellumxLinebeck stuff

mmmmghmm im gonna be honest i haven't thought about it much at all

linking it to my bellum x linebeck thoughts, im not too sure what to make of it in context with my other linebeck notes and w/e

there's also my idea that linebeck has a special interested in shellfish and by extension squids, and the idea of him having a weird thing for bellum, and just... enjoying sealife, and it's kinda of...

he compares her to a rabid squid to link in order to i think... offer a shorthand explanation of what she's like, and i think it (with some other stuff) is kinda just another little peek into how he might feel abt her?

i mean he also compares link to a dog in that one letter? i'm not sure where im going with that one. i dont think linebeck particularly likes dogs

i'm not sure abt the link between that and him getting possessed, jolene is kind of just... there a lot of the time and doesn't really do anything except 1) show that linebeck has enemies and 2) show that people know about link's quest by the end, linebeck generally references sea creatures a few times in ph

relating to bellum x linebeck, i dont see him comparing jolene to a squid an indicator of anything in relation to that, with linebeck having a thing for bellum its more of like. there's a lot of complicated ideas i have with what goes on between them during bellumbeck and bellum being a squid thing is more linebeck having a bit of a monsterfucker streak and having a bit of a thing for like. being tied up. as for literal squids he kinda just likes them as food and to dissect and learn about

like i think 'rabid squid' is more like linebeck just tossing out some derogatory shorthand to explain how he thinks of jolene as some fucking. violent annoyance he has to deal with that he doesn't fully understand

tbh i see the comparison but imo it comes down to a difference in characters and interactions and histories, there is the rabid squid thing (and i think in the manga too theres a vague parallel drawn ig) but im not. sure. what there is there just beyond. linebeck talks about sea creatures and wants to get the fuck away from jolene

i'm not entirely certain what you've been thinking about with that comparison, but i haven't been thinking much about it and it's kinda. eh ig???? its something
