Wind is not ok

Idk how to pinpoint it. It's something about how since Dawn part four, almost 45 percent of the sentences he's said have ended in questions marks or been directly theorising. How the Link who figured out the most about the timeline with ease hasn't spoken much outside of theorising about the monsters, the postman, the shadow. How he whipped his blade out the fastest and went for the fairy.

It's something to do with how the most expressive Link had tears standing in his eyes when Twilight was ill but never once let them fall. It's something to do with how the most energetic hasn't been the center of attention but has been on the sidelines for quite a few updates. How he told Hyrule it's about being ready for the variety and has seemingly been ready ever since.

It's something with how for the past ten updates (we're at entrance pt 3 now), he has only smiled on ten out of ninety pages. How an extremely reliable Kid appears the most ready outside of Sky to rip the shadows throat out, after being pushed by him in battle like he was nothing. How angry he looks when talking about the shadow.

It's something about how he yelled in Legend's face that they had to help, questioning if Twilight was corrupted or possessed. Something about how this kid sincerely asked his brother if he was feeling evil and hasn't stop asking questions since.

Do you ever think about how lonely Steve must have felt during the first Avengers film? He’s only 27, but everyone treats him like his technical age of 94. He’s in an environment that should feel familiar to him but instead feels completely different. He’s trying to get his head around 70 years worth of missed history on top of readjusting to civilian life. And then he’s pushed into a dysfunctional group, and he has to take charge, because if he doesn’t take charge then everyone is going to die.

Soul Eater needs to become a slice of life anime immediately. I’m tired of the world almost ending, I wanna see Spirit character development and I wanna see the kids hang out and play games and.. idk I don’t watch slice of life shows BUT. I wanna see it with soul eater

My favorite episodes are Ep41 and then the one with the test that they all fuck up on except Maka. That episode is fucking hilarious and silly as hell and I need more episodes that don’t do anything to the story, the characters are just having Another Day and I love to see it it’s so cute

Biggest complain about the show: not enough. There’s SOOO MUCH to touch on and they DIDN’T. SO many goofy antics we can see with the characters and we didn’t get it it kills me!!!!!!!

Also the episode after medusa possessed Rachel and went to make a deal with Death and Death and Spirit just started talking about her bloomers like for REAL GUYS. They are so unserious it fucking kills me.

[le-velo-pour-dru]

Okay but Dallon's look from the past few tours is literally the cutest thing ever to me

Like sir!!!! How are you so adorable???? 😭💖

A "those damn youths and their language!" passage I thought was so funny I had to record it.

I also like the use of the word "correctest", which I don't think I've ever seen anywhere, but which apparently was quite common in the 18th century and pretty much dead by 1920.

Footnote from The Temple of Folly, in Four Cantos By Theophilus Swift, 1787.

(Which I have not read most of. I first came across this over a year ago and can't remember what I was even looking for, and couldn't remember the name of the publication, but found it again immediately by searching for "elegant highwayman" in google books.)

(I got "been always" switched around in my recording, oops, because I'm much more used to "always been".)

Transcript:

"No poor word seems to have been more tortured from its original meaning, than this of Elegance. Even some of our correctest writers have not been always sufficiently accurate in the use they have made of it. We have Elegant Pastry-cooks, Elegant Men-milliners, Elegant Hair-dressers, Elegant Footmen, Elegant Fiddlers, Elegant Eunuchs, Elegant Tooth-drawers.  I lately heard a lady say, she had been delivered of her first son by an Elegant Man-midwife; and another lady observed, she had been delivered of her last guinea by an Elegant Highwayman. Such Elegant company are doubtless entitled to respect, yet are not perhaps more respectable than the following Elegant company of phrases; vis. “Elegant Stage-Coaches,” for travellers; “Elegant Air-Balloons,” for philosophers; “Elegant Lap-dogs,” for old maids; and “Elegant Opportunities,” for young ones. In short, every thing has lately become elegant which administers either to pleasure or convenience. Coxcombs of both sexes should, however, be told that Elegance is a word which more directly belongs to works of literature; and that, that composition which abounds most with a beautiful simplicity, and justness of sentiment and expression, is more immediately dominated Elegant."

“Where’s your homo, homey” mate you’re wearing a fishnet wife beater at work can we talk about that first

Are there any particular scenes in the game that REALLY stick out to you that aren't talked about much online?

i feel like all the big scenes are talked about enough but like... maybe the payphone with dora? just something about it hurts me

the fact that dora picked up and stayed on as long as she did. harry had her *mirova* number so deeply ingrained into his muscle memory he could do it with his eyes closed after getting his brain wiped. how did he even get that? did she let him have it? was there a telephone book? did he have to do some borderline-stalking to get ahold of it?

the fact that no matter what you say to her initially, as she wakes up her response just amounts to "oh... not this again." again. how many times have they done this? how many times has harry, unknowingly or uncaringly, gotten drunk or high or both and called dora in the middle of the night (in her time) to hear her voice, and what has he said? does he beg her to come back or get angry?

idk there's just so much resignation and patience on dora's end, or at least that how it feels to me. she's isolas away- she can afford to be patient now. this clearly isn't something she wants to be doing, but she doesn't hang up on him, just lets him talk until the payphone runs out of money or he hangs up on his own. he broke her heart and made it all about himself but here she is, sitting on the phone at 4am when she's got work in 2 hours, listening to him ramble on about god-knows-what. and she's got to be worried. every time he hangs up she wonders if it will be the last time, and if so, why will it be the last time? will it be because he grew up and got over it, or because he finally killed himself? it's not her responsibility to worry or care anymore, but things are never that simple. of course some part of her will always be a little bit concerned (or at least morbidly curious) about how he's doing. as awful as these calls are, they must reassure her a tiny bit.

Obsessed with the dynamic (not romantic, not platonic, but a secret third thing--both and yet neither) between two characters who knew and cared about each deeply years ago when they were both younger and life was much less complicated.

But then, tragic, transformative circumstances separated them. Assuming that this separation was certainly permanent, because how could it not be?

And yet, somehow finding each other again years later, and sometimes they aren't sure whether the reunion that they once longed for with every fiber of their beings is a blessing, a curse, a joke, or a punishment.

Because they've both changed in the intervening years--largely because of the hellish circumstances that caused their separation. They've both changed completely and irrevocably, even if one of them has changed much more noticeably and dramatically than the other to the point of seeming a complete stranger. It is about leaning to see and appreciate all the things that have changed about the other and all the things that have not changed. It's about learning to reconcile beloved, often rose-tinted memories with the complex, yet-equally-compelling reality of the person those memories are about.
