#decides to sacrifice herself

[inspectorspacetimerevisited]

Amber knew that there was only one way out,

deciding to sacrifice herself for Jimmy, despite his protests.

‘I’m the one you want first. My parents forged my birth certificate to make it look like I was 26, when I’m actually 30. Come get me!’

More Needlebloom au! If Needletail had lived, I am POSITIVE she woulda been a cool aunt figure to Violetshine’s foals, so I wanted to draw the three of them interacting :)

Needlebloom ADORES her niece and nephew. She encourages Rootfoal to come out of his shell, and she may or may not get up to shenanigans with little Pinefoal, who was not only named after her, but also has the same penchant for mischief (they’re both pegasi too, so Needlebloom helps teach her how to fly)

Despite being closer to Pinefoal at first, Needlebloom asks to apprentice Rootfoal, over time becoming his closest confidant and a vocal supporter of his relationship with Bristlefrost

My madoka magica hot take is I like sayaka/kyoko as a ship more than madoka/homura

TOTK is so great but its story mostly doesn’t hit for me so

THINGS I WOULD CHANGE (major spoilers ahead)

Sonia purposely reaches through time for help against Ganondorf and that’s how Zelda ends up specifically in their time

Rather than being the first king and queen of Hyrule, Rauru and Sonia are the Zonai rulers in an unspecified past era prior to the 10,000 years ago of the Calamity legend

Also, instead of being Zelda’s ancestors, they are Link’s

BULLET TIME IS CLEARLY A TIME POWER, ZELDA DIDN’T HAVE TIME POWERS IN BOTW

BotW/TotK Link is more than just an ordinary dude but there’s no sign he’s chosen by the goddesses like in some other games so why not say he’d descended from the Zonai and a magical monster fucker with time powers

This also makes more sense why they think Zelda could make a difference, because her powers wouldn’t just be copies of Rauru and Sonia’s 

I think also it would be cool to have her be the Sage of Light while Rauru is the royalty/leader of the sages, basically a role swap from Ocarina of Time

Ganondorf (implied to have been resurrected rather than born into the Gerudo as a new man) originally wanted to ally with the Zonai against Hyrule 

Rather than being with the Gerudo, he’s with the beginnings of the Yiga clan (the Yiga are said to have been formed after the first Calamity, but the Shiekah have had a long cycle of being used and then discarded/persecuted by Hyrule’s rulers so I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to have it start before and history has just misattributed it to post-Calamity)

Part of Ganondorf’s argument is that the Sheikah of the time are copying Zonai designs and technology for the Hylian Royal Family’s use, and must be stopped (so much was SO similar I really thought it would be addressed)

The Royal Family already has the blood of the goddess/Triforce/etc, and still they reach for more

Ganondorf blames Sonia, as she is Rauru’s Hylian wife, for the refusal, which is why he targets her specifically

But the Zonai are a fading people, and even if they had the strength and numbers to stand against Hyrule Kingdom, the Sheikah using their technology and building on it is a way their work can survive after they’re gone, and they bear no ill will towards Hyrule

I wish I could have Sonia not die because I love her but that part of the story and the Light Dragon stuff are both solid

BUT before shit starts going down WE SEE HER AND RAURU’S KID. They clearly have one and I’m mad we didn’t see it, why will Nintendo not show us characters’ kids (yes I am still mad Age of Calamity didn’t address if Urbosa had a child/heir) 

Bonus points if the kid like, accidentally enters bullet time while playing around and that’s how Zelda starts putting together that she’s with Link’s ancestors

From there the past mostly unfolds the same as in-game, but maybe with a little more individuality from the sages so the moment when they see Zelda fly off as the Light Dragon hits a little harder

Rauru’s final lines about Link also then will have the weight of knowing Link is his descendant, Ganondorf has failed in eliminating their future

The present is mostly the same as well, except Link gains recall from a tear Zelda hid for him that amplifies the time powers he already has, rather than her giving him her own powers

Then in the final fight, once Ganondorf has swallowed the tear, he moves to attack Lookout Landing, and Link does the only thing he can think of to save everyone– he sends Ganon, along with himself and the Light Dragon, back in time

The fight progresses as it does in the game, up until Link breaks open the tear on Ganon’s forehead

Instead of dying, all Ganon’s malice pours out, coating the dragon and making it near invincible

This is the origin of Calamity Ganon

But this is not the time of legend, it is before, while the Shiekah have begun their work based on the Zonai designs, they are not prepared for an attack

Ganon must be sealed until they are ready, and there’s only one person who can do it

Link calls on all the power of the sages through his hand, reaching through time to draw their power and combine it with his own, and uses everything he has to reverse the tear out of Zelda and return her to her original form

His magic arm shatters in the process. He does not get his original arm back

Zelda seals the Calamity, knowing it’s temporary, knowing that even after everything she’s done, she cannot prevent the tragedies that have already happened. The best they can do is know that they’ve paved the way for their future where he can be fully defeated.

We end on her collapsing against Link, silent for a long moment, and then just, “Link, take me home.”

I actually really enjoyed the link click live action like the beginning was a bit odd, but once we got into the missions it was really engaging and I thought the actors were really good in their roles. they had a way of making the characters feel like.. the characters they’re portraying

i don't want to post here today can you guys just watch aventurine bidding farewell to his past self

[madigoround]

I just watched a quiet place day one for the first time thinking it would just be like a thriller/suspense and no one told me how steeped this movie is in guttural emotion. I’m over here crying over this monster movie and the display of true human emotion and tragedy and love it shows as if I haven’t seen a million apocalypse movies

has anyone brought this up yet </3

I personally find it very funny that my sister and I are both obsessed with an unfairly attractive long-haired fictional man with a tendency to prance around without a shirt on who would do anything for his autistic daughter... and it's not even the same damn fictional man

"Oh we're so different we will never get along" Blatant lies, we're one in the same and completely incorrigible in what we are

TIL while checking my Steam achievements that you can get the achievement "Ceremorphosis" even if Tav/Durge doesn't become illithid, and another member of the party does

What I meant to say is that sorry and thank you Karlach you earned me an early achievement

i like to think apoptosis tries to lie to tenshi but tenshi cares too much & has figured her out pretty well & can see through most of it. i dont have much to support this beyond the fact theyre clearly heavily tied together across their songs.

[befuddled-calico-whump]

created some new characters for a fantasy story

Haile (he/him, 24) - Half-elf, mage's apprentice nearing the end of his training

Kezkel (he/him, 41) - Human mage, Haile's mentor

Sarasi (she/her, 14) - Human lady, possesses type of magic thought to be long-gone. A bit of a perfectionist, but has a hard time casting

Izri (she/they, 13) - Human peasant, also capable of magic thought to be gone. Has a lot of natural skill at casting, and is generally a friendly and sunshiny person

In this world, magic is fairly rare, and often restricted to trained guild members. The re-emergence of a dead magic is in line with a prophecy of a world-changing cataclysm, and it's assumed the girls will play a key role in it all.

Haile and Kezkel are tasked with safely escorting the pair to a guild where they'll be trained and protected, but the further they go, the more it seems there are enemies at every turn...

I've always felt vague misogyny in the Chilli's but this episode solidified to me that the Buddy Daddies crew just hate women lol

[cami1a]

one of my biggest problems with the show is actually camila leaving billy. not to say that i think women should stay with an unfaithful man, i’m the dump him friend and would never advocate for that. however, camila’s speech to daisy in the book was such an impactful way of showing that women who decide to leave are strong but so are women who decide to stay and that you can’t judge a woman just on that one decision. on the other hand, i’m really glad the show gave us the moments when camila confronts billy because i feel like that was omitted from the books. but for camila to choose billy and to choose the family she’s created with her daughter was also very powerful. i think the show really pigeonholed into the socially approved idea of what a strong woman looks like while dismissing that book camila’s choice was just as hard and just as strong.
