Okay but it's super interesting how

Din = Power = Ganondorf

Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda

Farore = Courage = Link.

Because Din, in the hylian creation myth, created the physical world. Naryu then created the laws - gravity, time, etc. And Farore finally created life - plants and people.

Din created the body, naryu the mind, Farore the soul.

And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.

Ganon is physical power, he is big and intimidating and he breaks things. He is cunning and determined, but that's not what he focuses on. He is might makes right.

Zelda is wisdom and cleverness. She is stall tactics and information and team work. She is a powerful mage with a spine of steel, but that's not how she'll win. She is the pen being mightier than the sword.

Link is courage and persistence. He is the wild card sneaking behind enemy ranks, always moving, plunging into terrifying situations head first. He's a phenomenal fighter with a keen wit, but that's not what will get him through his challenges. He is bravery not being the absence of fear but the triumph over it.

They sit in perfect parallels to each other.

And ganon is reborn through his body - his resurrection is immortality. No matter how low he is cast, as long as he has a body he can claw his way back. He can cling to his power, build it ever higher.

Zelda is reborn through the magic of her bloodline. It's the accumulated knowledge handed down for generations, the unique power she must master, the skills she must develop to survive and get her kingdom out the other side intact. Even her name, the knowledge of herself, is handed down from all the way from the very first. Her ancestors knowledge of her future presence, her stability, is what gives her the edge.

Link is reborn in spirit. He is not bound by flesh or blood. Just like his wanderlust soul he can reappear in any time or place. His variation, his unpredictability, is exactly how he fights. It's what makes him so hard to pin down.

Ganons need to build strength means he can't chase after link. Links impulsiveness means zelda can outwit him. Zeldas stationary predictability means she's an easy target for ganon.

But the other direction?

Fire melts ice, ice redirects lightning, lightning burns fire.

And that's the very essence of the triforce.

those stills of Agatha in A3 are still burning in my mind... that being said, classics professor [and possible supernatural something, have yet to decide] Agatha Harkness and vampire disaster Wanda Maximoff murder mystery au incoming

what do u mean Greeks and Latinos have had illegal names for ages...

i mean the incredibly strong nickname culture to the point where you don't actually know your friends' legal names!

for example: my friend whom I've known since we were teenagers, whom everyone calls Sonia. We found out last year that her legal name is Sofia. I've known her for more than a decade! What Do You Mean You Were Christened Sofia?!

But yeah that's a very common experience and from what I've seen & been told by latine friends, it's also common in their cultures to have that whole thing.

favourite episodes in crime shows where the main characters are partners™ are often when character A gets hurt/kidnapped/disappears and character B goes feral looking for them. bonus if when they get hurt/kidnapped together they are currently in their "in denial abt their feelings" phase.

Pokemon Bank has fully rolled back into ?99 after counting down to ?01, so I think it's safe to say Bank won't die until after Legends Z(bc the Kalos Dex has the last three lines of Pokemon currently not on the switch) so I'd say it's safe for another year unless otherwise stated by TPC

So if you were worried about finishing games/shiny hunting certain Pokemon, you're safe to do so for now

New Scotland Yard: Fire in a Honey Pot (1.8, LWT, 1972)

"You make it sound very convincing."

"I beg your pardon?"

"Your Mr. Logan was seen at the club on the afternoon before it burnt."

"Oh, now, don't ask me what could have taken him there, to a place like that."

"You mean you've never heard of the protection business?"

"Isn't that what you're in?"

i've been quiet here to avoid major spoilers (posting them OR seeing them), but i started act 2 last night and holy shit, oh my god, this game is so good. it feels like a cross between playing dnd with the world's most competent DM and reading a really good fantasy novel.

Are we happy all Element guys left Starhunter? I wonder if Bank Thanathip will now be permantly signed to No1r. Hope the rest find good new homes.

I was just about to make a post about this.

Star Hunter choosing to barely promote or use Element (or their individual members as actors) in the two years since their debut (to the point where people weren't even sure if they had disbanded or not) is peak Star Hunter clownery. I'm not even sure why they announced all of these BLs last year and didn't just idk... cast their own talent in it.

Negl I'm kind of glad they ended their contracts. I hope it works as well for them as it did for Bas, Dun, Copter, Pon and Jet.

Earthbound's localization is so much better than beginnings, but I appreciate everything else they (I'm pretty sure it was a single guy who localized it though lol) did. Besides making some of the dungeons shorter and the run button, the enemies have flavor text I'll never read
