💘, 🐳, ⛩️, 🙊?

💘, 🐳, ⛩️, 🙊

💘 MIPHLINK!!! Do I have to say it? Absolutely 110% Miphlink. Honestly they are a pairing that I love more than all the other ships I have ever shipped, and I come back to them whenever other hyper fixations fizzle out or I want something comforting. I love them both so much. AoC is one of my favourite zelda games for that reason. (BoTW too, but the tragic lovers vibe is so sad)

Skyward Sword Zelink, a little bit, I wasn’t head over heals for them, but SS Zelda reminded me a fair bit of Mipha (if Mipha had been brought up in a less dangerous time and with less royal duties they would have probably been more similar), so that was that! 

I really wish I shipped Revali with someone, because I love the birb because he is stupid and fun to draw, initially I was a pining Miphvali shipper, but like, I wasn’t a massive fan of that, so maybe ZelVali? Some people ship that, and I’ve got to say the Revali and Zelda talking scene is one of my favourite cutscenes in BoTW, not to mention Zelda’s dialogue to Revali; If not romantic, definitely platonic. 

Teba and Saki are the adorable birb parents so I quite like their couple dynamic? Im not really the biggest shipper outside of Miphlink tbh.  

🐳

I honestly have no idea? Probably a Hylian (boring answer sorry!), but maybe a Rito. I love the decoration styles, and bright colours, and also they live in a cool climate and I do not like hot weather. So maybe a rito. 

⛩️

I think my favourite dungeon would have to be the Ancient Cystern in SS, I just love how beautiful the whole thing is, with all the lotus-y patterns and the pinks and turquoises and the flowers and stuff. ITs just so dang beautiful!! I also really loved the Sandship Dungeon. I think in terms of play through that was my favourite from start to finish. Location is SO much harder. Aesthetically Satori Mountain, and Rito village, story-wise and where I spend my most time in BoTW Zora’s domain, I also Love the Zora’s domain and Rito Village music. Also sweet cozy little skyloft is so nice and permanent and homely. The great plateau is so nostalgic and I love that too… AAA I don’t think I can pick! In AoC it has to be Scero’s Supplies, I know you can’t really go there, but the merging of Zora and Hateno architecture is just so beautiful and I LOVE IT SO MUCH! 

🙊

Ohhh… Unpopular Zelda opinions… I have quite a few of those. Ok. Here we go. 

ToTK is AWUFUL. Hot dang it is the worst thing ever. It wasn’t even the story that made me stop playing. It was one line from an NPC in Rito Village. Molli wants to make elemental arrows, and has an idea for arrow inventions, that can freeze enemies! No way that’s so cool, except… that is literally one of the main things in the last game. You can buy elemental arrows from the shops. Like what the heck? At least explain to me why a very common commodity that EVERYONE but Particularly the people who’s job it is to look after Bows (Harth and Moli) know about and have access to is somethign they want to invent now. I hate is. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I ha- anyway. I despise whatever Lazy idiot decided that was the way to go. Who cares about lore? Not us apparently. I also have a massive problem with the imperialist mass-destruction weapon wearing zonai as well. And as a historian I just love BoTW so much better than ToTK. It treats its history with respect, and nuance, and good golly thats not how ruins from 10,000 years ago would work and o my word stop suspending my disbelief!?! 

Anyway. I could rant for far longer about far more things, but I’ll leave it at that. 

Way more unpopular, and Zelink shippers please ignore this: I think BoTW Zelink is creepy. The power dynamic is insanely bad (princess and her servant who literally cannot disobey her father), and the age gap is also awful (16 turned 17 for one day and “20 something” from the BoTW art book). 

Also, the women deserve better from that fandom. But that’s not news.

Thank you so much for the ask Stars!

Yeah, that coward OP blocked me for criticizing their precious Bail Organa on their post, so I'm going to have to say it here:

I disagree with there being necessarily nothing wrong with taking advantage of an opportunity. It is wrong when that opportunity comes from someone else's misfortune and you take advantage of that misfortune instead of helping to alleviate it as much as possible. That baby girl's family was being torn apart and instead of helping to keep it together, Bail took advantage of the opportunity for a child to claim as his own and scavenged her from them. That's quite covetous, callous, and cruel, and that's the problem with so many adoptive parents, which is why the adoption system is so corrupt. As for not considering all the factors, Bail Organa was an experienced politician in the middle of a crisis who held the fate of an entire planet in his hands. He should have considered all of those risks to his nation and his family before making such a stupid decision. Like you said, that makes him a bad leader that he was willing to endanger his planet like that.

But you're right about everything else, though.

Hello! I've been thinking about adoption after your post and wanted to follow up. What's your ideal adoption system? I know some parents want free babies to prevent possible interference from biological parents down the road. Even though babies may form bonds with their mother, won't they just eventually forget anyway? I can hardly remember anything before 5 years old.

That kind of adoptive parents you're talking about are half the problem with the adoption system. It's because of them that it's a corrupt industry that makes millions of dollars off of exploiting and manipulating vulnerable women, much like the abortion industry. They're spoiled, entitled, covetous vultures who want womb-wet babies to replace the ones they can't have while ignoring the fact that God gave them to someone else first. Preventing interference from biological parents should be the last thing on their minds, but it's often the first thing that they consider, even though it's rarely ever what the children need. Those babies may consciously forget their moms, but I don't think that their subconscious minds ever forget. The trauma that separation from their moms causes is so profound that it has significant psychological and even physical effects that can last a lifetime. And then there's still the inherited genetics that determine their brain structure and chemistry, which lays the foundations for a child's temperament, preventing them from bonding with their adoptive parents like they ever could with their biological parents. Even adoptees with loving adoptive parents always know that there's something missing, even if they don't always acknowledge it and it takes them decades to do so.

I already mentioned in the comments on that post that kinship care and legal guardianship are better alternatives if the parents can't or won't care for the kids no matter how hard you try to convince them or support them. Adoption should be a last resort if an option at all, and even then, it shouldn't be closed or lasting.

@steambabyweek was supposed to kick off yesterday, but it didn't. It probably doesn't have enough traction right now, but that needs to change.

You know that your interpretation of a ship is bad when you have to ignore the significant character and relationship development in the narrative (especially in later parts) that makes the ship work. You also know you're misinterpreting it when you're comparing it to characters and ships that have nothing in common with it.

A message from a Zutarian

Kataang shippers and other Zutara antis, you might have Bryke and their canon, but we now have the other writers and their broadcast drafts of the scripts. There's now no valid reason to call us delusional for reading Zutara into the A:TLA narrative any more than Kataang. So I suggest you take a good look at these before proceeding to do so or telling us that the buildup was never part of the canon.

I'd love to!! You are fabulous and your writing is stunning!!! I am sending you a virtual wild-berry crepe to restore 10 hearts of loving yourself and your amazing writing because you are fantastic! 🤗 (sorry if that was a little eccentric 😅) but you are amazing!

@oliviartist replied to your post “@oliviartist replied to your post “honestly, how...”:

YES WE FUCKING WILL!!!!

@enienah replied to your post “@oliviartist replied to your post “honestly, how...”:

Girl start believing in yourself or I will find you and I will use my soup ladle I mean I’m obviously joking BUT I MEAN WHAT I SAID (very first part) And I will read it!!!

this is very very sweet of you all, and I appreciate it, believe me ;~; but I'm talking about a fic for Miphlink Week, when there'll likely be multiple other shorter fics posted on the same day, and I have a hard time imagining anyone choosing my long-ass one to read when there are better options ;~;

[creativesplat]

Suggested by @echogekkos-writes and @desiperc!

3 ships: 

- Mipha x Link (BoTW, AoC) I LOvE them so much, my OTP! 

- Yue x Sokka (AtLA): one of my earliest ships, and even though it was a short romance I adore them:)

- Mara x Luke. 

Honestly all my favourite ships are doomed by the narrative Orpheus and Eurydice inhuman/ superhuman x human, so it really surprised me that I loved Mara x Luke so much. Neither is doomed, death and being haunted by one of the pair isn’t a massive part of it, and they’re both Jedi. So a break from my normal I guess 😄

First Ship Ever: Either 7kotay or Faramir and Eyowin (I was read the LoTR books as bed-time stories when I was a child) 7kotay from Star Trek Voyager is was one of my favourites for a long time. Seven of Nine and Chakotay just had this connection, and I started shipping them way before they became a couple on the show. 

Last Song (s): Dancing in a Daydream, Roses and Revolutions and Weathers, and Into the Light by Emilia Ali. They’re the latest two songs added to my MiphLink playlist (do send me an ask if you’d like me to tell you all what the whole playlist is!)

Last Movie: Enchanted, not my first pick but a great movie! Had a movie night with some friends :) 

Currently reading: The Two Towers (LoTR) - second time reading this one, and I’m loving it! A Venom Dark and Sweet - a new book discovery about a girl who can use magic tea, it’s brilliant! Pilgrims Progress - one of my all time favourites, it has made me cry on more than one occasion! 

Currently watching: Gravity Falls (again!), I am a twin, so seeing the twin relationships on that show make me so emotional and I love the characters. 

Currently consuming: lots of MiphLink stuff! (I need to catch up on some fics tho (cries in busy)), DnD lore - I’m a DM and a player in two connected campaigns, and I love my little guy and all the npcs and all the mythology - Tis great! 

Currently craving: Star Trek Voyager, MiphLink (them being a badass couple and being infatuated I love them ok? 😂), The mystery trio au (gravity falls but if Stan and Ford had worked it out 30 years in the past), Vaderkin aus (Darth Vader accidentally travels back in time to being a young general in the clone wars and shenanigans ensue!), and one character in Totk (though I shan’t spoil it - may mention it later!), and @doodlesandbooks‘s MiphLink modern AU.

4, 14, 22?

Hi! Sorry it's taken me so long to answer this one, thank you for the ask 😊. It was a lot of fun to do, but warning, it will be salty, so do please come back and read later if you're not in the mood for salt right now!

4) Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?*

Zelink. I actually have that tag blocked, although some of my favourite content creators (like the fab wanderingnightinggale) are Zelink shippers, so I look at all their stuff, but for the most part I dislike it. Link had a fiancee, zelda hated link and only started liking him after he protected her and looked hot, it just feels very shallow. Could I see it working after the calamity? Maybe. Before, absolutely not. It would take a lot of manoeuvring for me to see it working out. 

Erasermic is also a big one (I have that tag blocked too!). That is the most popular and accepted MHA/BNHA ship and I am not a fan. It’s one of the many non-canon ships that feel a little out of place for me in bnha. They're friends, that’s all. One of them actually finds the other rather irritating, and they barely interact at all. Even with all the manoeuvring in the world I couldn’t see it working. 

14) Unpopular opinion about your fandom?

BHNA is waaaaay too h*rny. Smut and 18+ images and stuff like that, if you like it, that's good for you, and the occasional bit here and there, is fine because you can avoid it, but you can’t for BNHA… like most of the characters are children and I still have to block tags because of how dirty they are (with children). The cute fluffy stuff and the non-romantic stuff is adorable, I just wish I could get to it without wading through ... spicy ... content.

Ahsoka is overrated and Anakin doesn’t get enough sympathy, but that's star wars, and just gets me a little sad when I think about it.

22) Popular character you hate?

Again, the fandom will come after me with pitch forks, but, Ahsoka Tano.  The world bent to her whims, she survived palatine, Darth Vader, order 66, leaving the Jedi, Darth maul, general grievous, had special white lightsabers just because, and laser gun proof bescar armour, and is a super cool badass who can survive anything ever and is also a child and… just stop breaking the suspension of disbelief please. Everything's just a bit oversaturated with her now. I used to like her, but too much of a good thing can make you not like the good thing, you know what I mean? When she was a Padawan she was unreasonably powerful, but she didn't have all of this world breaking stuff added so it was ok. So, I don't hate her... most of the time, but I do try to avoid content with her in it too much 😅

I hate to say it but Zelda…  BoTW Zelda has ruined every other Zelda and Link interaction in every other game. I just can’t help but see this toxic unloving person. I have been hurt by people like that and when playing as Link, I was a little upset by some of their interactions. I like the Fanon BoTW Zelda, but the actual lady… not for me. I get the fact that she’s been hurt and she grows as a person, and that is amazing, but it takes a lot of willpower for me to enjoy her character. If you love her though, please do! She’s great at overcoming her problems and her upbringing was the reason for her bitterness and unpleasantness, and when she succeeds despite her difficulties, all power to her.  I haven’t played AoC, so maybe she’s better in that? Again I don't hate her, but I do have moments of intense dislike of her. She's amazing in some regards, but I think, like Ahsoka, I've just seen a bit too much of her now. I do try my darnedest to like her and understand her though, because I don't really like disliking a character, and I think at first the reason I recoiled is because her most popular ship got in the way of my OTP (which is a really poor reason to dislike a character), so I'm trying to do better by her. 😊

Hope that wasn't too salty and answered your questions! Have a lovely day everyone! :)

[creativesplat]

hay I have a question have you ever herd of linked universe

I have! I find it quite endearing, it's a really fun concept. I do occasionally read the comics when they come out too. I love wild in particular, but warriors, sky, and twilight are also great!

Rules: Tag people you would like to know/catch up with.

Tagged by @eldin-of-pherae (so many months ago, but I procrastinated and then forgot I’m sorry!!)

Last Song(s): To The Sea (Seafret and Rosie Carney), Your Protector (Fleet Foxes), and Promise (Ben Howard) - absolute bangers, and 100% on my MiphLink playlist 

Last Movie: I can’t really remember - I’m watching Star Trek the original series at the moment (probably the only thing I'm really watching so maybe that counts?)  - I'm really enjoying it so far, I prefer Star Trek Voyager overall but the OS is a good watch :)

Currently Reading: None Like Him by Jen Wilkin (a Christian book on the ways God is different to humans, it’s really good so far!)

sorry I've been gone for so long! I’m back but probably won’t be posting quite so much :) 

[creativesplat]

Hi everyone! I’m sorry I’ve been offline for so long (I’m lucky my queue is so full!), I should be back to posting my art and fanfic later, but for a little while, I need to focus on work and things like that. Have a lovely day!

[creativesplat]

Stay with me

[creativesplat]

So, just came back from a weekend holiday, with little-to-no wifi and therefore no Tumblr! I am now active again :)
