*sigh* thoughts on Nintendo's botw/totk timeline shenanigans and tomfoolery?

tbh. my maybe-unpopular opinion is that the timeline is only important when a game's place on the timeline seriously informs the way their narrative progresses. the problem is that before botw we almost NEVER got games where it didn't matter. it matters for skyward sword because it's the beginning, and it matters for tp/ww/alttp (and their respective sequels) because the choices the hero of time makes explicitly inform the narrative of those games in one way or another. it matters which timeline we're in for those games because these cycles we're seeing are close enough to oot's cycle that they're still feeling the effects of his choices. botw, however, takes place at minimum 10 thousand years after oot, so its place on the timeline actually functionally means nothing. botw is completely divorced from the hero of time & his story, so what he does is a nonissue in the context of botw link and zelda's story. thus, which timeline botw happens in is a nonissue. honestly I kind of liked the idea that it happened in all of them. i think there's a cool idea of inevitability that can be played with there. but the point is that the timeline exists to enhance and fill in the lore of games that need it, and botw/totk don't really need it because the devs finally realized they could make a game without the hero of time in it.

Head canon:

Hero's have adapted their suits to help them. They have extra back stabilization cus of a back injury, built in braces for their knees, elbow or wrists etc. This means they can't just take off their suits and trade them cus they're custom made for each hero.

The usual story:

Magic companion: Let's go on an adventure kid!

Kid protagonist: Heck yeah!

The magic world: *whimsy and fun*

The Boy and the Heron:

demonic stinky Grey Heron: I'm here to take you on an adventure, and possibly tear out and eat your heart if I feel like it

Mahito, home-making his own bow and arrow: Leave me the fuck alone I'll kill you monster

The world in the tower: *whimsically mysterious and also fucked up and lowkey Cosmic Horror*

ugh my heart absolutely nerds out when FoF uses wardrobe and hair to reflect character change and growth. In the flashbacks, pre-darkening Li Lun wears short hair and is commonly depicted wearing white robes to represent youth and innocence.

After he turns his back on Zhu Yan, he grows out his hair to a great 1.7/1.8m length - now this is interesting because in all the period cdramas we watch and irl history, nearly everyone grows out their hair because of filial piety (if you cut your hair, you are disrespecting your parents who gave you this physical body.) But Li Lun only grows out his hair after his fall out with Zhu Yan. I may be reading too much into it, but imo this reflects how much he doesn't understand human traditions. His long hair seems to instead, represent all the grudges and hate he held and grew while being imprisoned. He also never wears light coloured robes during this period.

Now after returning, his hair is short again in that half up and half down hairdo. Apart from being a callback to his old self and having little bit of that innocence returning to his life, it literally reflects how he has let go of his grudges, by letting go of his length of hair. Li Lun has been often likened to a child in FoF and now, he has ear accessories that dangle from behind his ears, and who else do we know has an accessory dangling from behind his ear? Bai Jiu. Yet, who can ever truly regain lost innocence? His robes are still dark coloured here, and with his short hairdo, it's as if he's saying, I can never go back to what I was, but this is me trying.

back when i worked at [large chain coffee store], i tried to unionize my workplace. my manager sat me down and gave me a very guilt trip-y talk. lots of "but i thought we were a family :(" and "you don't *really* know what unionization does, do you?" i played dumb and managed to avoid being fired, but. chilchuck momence.

Can’t stop thinking about modern!Rilla who starts a skincare brand with Una Meredith and they 100% make it to the top.

(Bonus points for Persis Ford marketing them all the way to the moon!)

I keep on watching the Dropout show shorts they post on YouTube like it's my only way of experiencing their content, and COMPLETELY forgetting that I'm actively paying for their streaming service and I can just watch the full episodes instead.

So the shadow manga revealed the Gun soldiers we're influenced by Gun soldiers??? Because yeah, no longer like the manga. It makes no sense and is a direct insult towards Sonic Adventure 2

I think you mean influenced by Black Doom, right? Just to clarify.

Considering the manga definitely doesn’t follow canon events anymore, it’s not something to really be too vexed over. Shadow gets warped right into White Space after the capsule’s jettisoned out of the Ark just somehow for some reason. To me, it implies in this context that Doom’s presence is only appearing in the past because of his involvement in current events causing Generations to happen with time collapsing in itself. Otherwise it wouldn’t have a reason to occur.

Fully agree if it were retconning things into “Doom controlled the soldiers”, that would absolutely suck but since Shadow got a headache after the eyes started appearing behind the soldiers, I’m assuming he’s probably only seeing illusions. Doom’s able to connect like a hive mind to any in his species and Shadow having his DNA means he’s susceptible to Doom getting into his head like in 05. If this were meant to be canon, I’d think it’s something that would just write itself out once doom’s defeated again by current Shadow.

In the end, there’s a goofy heehaw exposition creature now acting as a conversation device for Shadow to bounce off for the likely remaining chapters. And they gotta find the seven dragon balls three orbs to wish Maria back alive. This is definitely becoming fairly unserious and not meant to fit into canon. It’s ultimately a gag manga so while I didn’t put much stock in it from the beginning, the fact it still managed to stay fairly accurate to the characters themselves despite going off in the plot makes it worth the ride I guess. For me at least lol
