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)

more shenanigans from the vanha kauppahalli date!!! i.e how quickly can maffhew offend an entire nation and getting deported because he somehow manages to butcher everything

man who desperately seeks approval and very wary to not offend his husband's teammates language he needs to excel at this and not make a fool of himself (spoiler alert he makes a fool of himself anyways)

something interesting i realized while on the vessel-making screen in the deltarune introduction is that it's physically impossible to make kris: there is no hair that perfectly matches theirs (none have the cowlick or the right jagged shape on the bottom), and there is no sweater that perfectly matches theirs (none have a single stripe). this is fascinating, as it perhaps suggest that, if we (the player) had a choice, we *wouldn't* make kris. they aren't something we want, or are even capable of wanting, rather something we're stuck with.

and i suppose the fact that they can't be *created* as a vessel is telling, because we didn't create kris -- they weren't made for us, they're not a player avatar. they're a pre-existing person we just happen to gain possession of.

we weren't made for each other; they don't want us, and we don't seem to want them either (if the inability to choose to create someone like them says anything); funny, then, that in a way we're "soulmates"...

nothing (besides everyone ignoring Orym's deal) has made me angrier than watching Dorian keep up this facade. Dorian Storm has always been a type of mask he's worn. At first he called himself a liar because of it. The happy go lucky bard was a way of escaping for him. He was escaping Brontë so he created Dorian. He didn't believe he was Dorian. Until the Crown Keepers made Dorian real. And for a while, he really believed he was Dorian. That he has this new family and new life and he could be who he truly wanted to be.

And then his brother came back and made his problems Dorian's problems. Until he had to put Brontë back on. Because even if the Crown Keepers + Cyrus called him Dorian, he was Brontë. He had to be who his brother thought he was.

When Cyrus dies, the thread to Brontë had snapped. He was going to see Orym, back to the Bells Hells, back to Dorian Storm. But the foundation of Dorian had shattered. Dorian was created in order to run from his place in life, family, Cyrus. Now he was gone. The Crown Keepers had fallen apart. His friends fell through his fingers and he couldn't do anything to stop it. He was once ready to side with a betrayer god for these people and now they're in the wind.

So Dorian shows back up to Bells Hella and he's completely broken. The foundation of both of his lives has been thoroughly rocked. No brother. No Crown Keepers. The two things that forged Dorian Storm. He wears that mask so fucking well. Because he still wants to believe in it. He said it live on stage that he should "believe his own backstory". The one he made up. The one where he was a bard.

He wants to be Dorian so bad. He spends all his money on Orym, he spins the bottle so he can kiss his friends, he flirts, he blushes and giggles at compliments. Exactly how Dorian would, should.

But he wears the gold of the heir. He has a festering animosity inside his chest. He doesn't sleep. He's thinner than he was. He doesn't sleep. He sicks abominations after their creators. He talks to God's without an ounce of self preservation, daring them to strike him down. He does not acknowledge them as they taunt him.

The god of beauty and magic calls him beautiful and he does not smile.

i really do admire how lando tries to not give a fuck (that 'whatever' really saddened me so much) but he actually does, and a lot.

guy doesn't even want anything absurd, he just wants the support of his team for the last fucking 4 races but no... let's just get humiliated for one point on international tv💀.

they're really stretching him thin — and i mean it in a emotional and mental wellbeing way. he is obviously inherently selfless and quite literally does not hold self-esteem, but in the last year we've seen him trying to be more sure of himself and trying to be selfish for once. the moment he does that though, he gets accused of being the spawn of satan. and then the team does everything in the world to make it harder for him.

so i really do admire him, because i literally would PERSONALLY leave the sport after this one season.

he's so much stronger than i am.

i hate how s2 made stella abusive purely for the sake of making stolas look good since hes objectively worse then blitz because he cheated on her and humiliated her publicly, gave out his daughters inheritance and put it at risk 99% of the time, (not even giving her a chance to learn how to use it! which is the whole reason she was MADE!) on top of him forcing blitz into sex once a month for use of it. meanwhile, loona, who at most shoved her dad away in s1 and yelled at him when he yelled back, gets to literally beat him over the head with objects and throw shit in a near identical way stella did to stolas in s1 and have it be treated like comedy when it's just uncomfortable at worst or unfunny at best to watch, because this isn't a consistent thing we've seen before.

this show just picks and chooses when you're supposed to gaf about something based on narrative framing only instead of being mature enough to let it's audience chose how it feels about these characters in a show SEEMINGLY WRITTEN FOR ADULTS who can use basic critical thinking skills, and it's why i hate apology tour and mastermind too, because one father's sacrifice and valid substitute for saving someone else's life in order to prioritize their daughter is treated as BAD, but another's decision to NOT proitize their daughter over saving someone else's life is treated as good.

notice how stolas consistently gets the narrative on his side for seemingly no reason? bro is a black hole stu and i will stand by that until my last breath tbh. i hope he chokes on a rat and Dies

honestly, the hand-holdyness of the show is one of my biggest beefs with it, the constant 'telling you how they want you to feel' instead of presenting you with a situation and letting you come to your own conclusion on it. have fun forming an opinion on stolas that isn't knob slobbing because the narrative is Not going to fucking let you and it makes the story so bombastically boring that i'm still stunned at the writing opportunities they actively chose to squander

here's our complicated toxic yaoi except stolas did nothing wrong and blitz is a big mean idiot and stella is a stupid shallow bitch who does everything wrong forever and always and there's no nuance. you don't need to come to your own conclusions because we'll tell you who the bad guys are its ok. if you say this isn't complex i hit you with a hammer until you die
