#more detailed but it broke on me

[dewphox]

I can’t believe people would use a being that is a homage to the late Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata, as uwu-waifu bullshit.

So disrespectful.

I see where you're coming from, though I don't think that the way you are going about it is constructive or appropiate at all. Since you're on anon I can't say for sure if you're like 10 or 30, but I'm not mad either way.

So yeah I wanna give an honest answer to this, if anyone else feels the same way and maybe wants to have a discussion (though the whole anon thing feels like talking to a wall) you can really just talk to me. Ngl I am incredibly emotional and quick to get defensive, but the beauty of messages on the internet is is that I can give myself time to calm down and be rational and process these emotions before I respond. So Anon I hope that once you've hopefully seen my response that if you still feel a certain type of way about it that you can maybe give me the same courtesy. I just think that there's enough hate to hate communication on the internet already and I'd honestly truly appreciate the effort.

To start of I think it's ignorant to say that how I choose to enjoy my favourite media is ''uwuw-waifu bullshit''. People enjoy different things in many different ways. The way I do it is no different from D&D. There is a world with lore and characters that i adore and I love it so much that I want to experience it through something I've made. Making a character for a franchise is connected to so much research on the source material, as careful as it was crafted I take the time to think of many different ways to integrate a whole new person that hypothetically could fit like a DLC or you know, my player character (sometime it is more indepth than other times, but I always do research one way or the other).

Being put into Links shoes is a predetermined lens which i can enjoy as it's own story, but to me, I like to be a part of it either with a straight insert or an otherwise character of my own making. A tale of legend and heroic deeds is but one perspective and I love to see in what different ways this story or world can be enjoyed and looked at. And i don't think that this is wrong or something to look down upon. Just as is romance within that world and other bonds and relationships one will create and connect to their creation. Like how I made the windfish my OC's Father.

It is so much more than you make it out to be and I have had so many people throuought my art journey come to me and grief because they were bullied for simply having an oc be romantic with a canon character or god forbid a selfinsert or mary sue (and most of them were children, though I was more sad about the adults who's passion was taken from them before they could fully explore it). It is makebelief and hurts no one just because these people decided to share these scenarios with other people. I hope that in the future you can be less dismissive about that. I think it's important that we take the time to be kind, even if there's something we might disagree with and want to debate.

Now to the main point. To put it simply I think a character is allowed to be it's own entity regardless of intent, if ofcourse the intent isn't explicitly stated. (Like for example when they literally have Barack obama as a character in South park etc. Then that's not a refrence but a depicition) Which in this case it isn't actually. While researching what came up was filled with ''maybe'', ''possibly'', ''probably'' etc. More importantly though the game itself never states it and a game and franchise should always be able to be judged on it's contents alone wihtout outside remarks people may or may not have made.

Then there's also another character within the game. Botrick. His wiki also eludes to the fact that he might be a homage to Satoru. Wikis however are all written by fans and we can all just speculate even if the probability is very likely. The difference however is that Botrick shares a similar appearance with Satoru while the lord of the mountain has a similar name and I think both are tributes in their own right. Though Botrick may be a physical reference while Satori is a sort of spiritual tribute to him as a mentor and guardian figure. But it's still it's own character. Both of these characters aren't Satoru, the same as how actors aren't synonymous with the characters they play.

Also what if someone doesn't do deep dives into wikis and articles and forums? What if someone simply plays the game, enjoys it and make characters, contents AU's for it? What if had only read the genral wiki and not scrolled down to the trivia section where people first brought up it might be a tribute? I don't think that it should be neccessary to first get a bachelors degree in order to enjoy a game in fear of missing a detail that although never mentioned in the game was once maybe hinted at by someone. It feels like a roundabout and tiring way to enjoy a medium. And you should give people a fair chance and not come at them so aggressively, even if you're emotionally charged.

Having said all that, I was actually hesitant to make this idea I had using Satori for the same reason haha. Since I generally don't like characters that are meant to be real life people ( the same I don't like to ship with characters that are in canon relationships (hence i dropped Sidon UU ). With Satori however I felt it's removed enough that it's not an issue for me as explained above.

But I'm not opposed to the idea of changing a few things up! Names are changed in the blink of an eye and i am not uncreative enough to be incabalbe of thinking of different ways to incorporate my design into the lore. I could make it a blupee instead, or a descendant, or otherwise further removed entity with close ties to Satori. (My OC Dreem was close to being something like that before I thought of the windfish!) I simply adore these nature god archetypes like the forest god in princess mononoke and since in it's lore Satori was a sage before that died the idea of a humanoid version wasn't too far off for me.

So yeah, tell me what you think, I'm open for discussion and how other people see it as long as you give me the same courtesy and time that I did to formulate an appropiate response! I hope that we can all be kind to eachother and I wish you all a wonderful day!

I finished posting the unabashedly educational Sword Fic.

It includes a detailed (but hopefully beginner-friendly) explanation of all the steps of making a Nichirin blade from a sunny mountain like Mt. Youkou, a touch of swordsmith and metalworker folk lore (including demons), meta about what must make Kimetsu no Yaiba's swordsmithing methods different from real life methods, some character exploration for Haganezuka and his polishing method, vocabulary and additional resources in the chapter notes, and hopefully, an endearing, silly POV character to learn this all through.

Fun Fact: Contrary to popular belief, Cameron Boyce was not the main voice actor for Jake on Jake and the Never Land Pirates.

Sure, he did voice Jake, and during a period where Boyce's work on Disney was at its peak (mainly with Jessie on the main Disney Channel) but he's not the first, only, or last person to voice the character:

When JatNLP premiered, Jake was voiced by actor Colin Ford. Ford voiced Jake up until halfway through Season 2, where he started going through puberty (you can notice this by watching several early S2 episodes, including Jake Saves Bucky).

Then come Season 3. Sean Ryan Fox is now the understudy for Cameron Boyce, likely because Cameron himself was going through puberty and/or him filming the Descendants movies.

Wouldn't ya know, Ryan Fox eventually took over for Boyce, and was later replaced by Riley Thomas Stewart, who was replaced by Gabe Eggerling for the remainder of the series.

Despite Boyce being too old to reprise his role as Jake, he would find his way back on the show. In Season 4, Episode 7B, Cameron Boyce would voice ChillyZach, the nephew of the villainous Shiverjack.

This would mark Cameron's first voice-work on the show since his initial departure,- as well as his final role on the show before its cancellation --- and his death.

So there you have it.

Dont trust anybody who says they’re “not a hateful person/don’t hate anybody”. They’ve obviously never worked any retail or service job.

What was the dream? If you want to talk about it of course.

I mean, I might as well

I was in that Showhole... D and Sunny were there, going in and out of that trance I think. Going between begging for help and trying to grab me while the employees and SecuriTV chased me...

I... I found that button that supposedly shut down the place, but when I pressed it... the lights got only got brighter and... I could hear their agonized screams...

Then they fell to the ground with the employees... I tried to get them up but....

... I can't remember how that dream ended, but apparently I woke up screaming and uncontrollable, so it must have been fuckin awful.

Every single time

Update: you know, I had entirely forgotten that Japan chose to advertise this game using hand drawn stills of the Farewell scene until I made this post

That is catastrophically so much worse 🥺

But wait, if this art depicts how the scene was actually meant to go, does that mean that the entire time, Sugar was forcing herself to appear cheerful, hiding the amount of pain and heart break she was actually experiencing in that moment, all so that Sprinkles' last memories of her were her smiling face?

The images on the Switch Lite in better quality of anyone is interested

Insane that Blade during Todd's quest did basically the same thing Dan Heng was doing during this last video

sometimes The Fic attacks me with its estimated size however knowing myself I'll say it's going to be a tightly-packed but still a little lengthy piece, however.

here's the catch: i might start to post it after i'm done with half of the chapters because i will incorporate a structure of sorts, to further empathize on magic in general and Wrights perception of it; and because it's all about Wright…

why does she have such a colourful view on things, writing her is like painting a page in a medieval book and colour the letters altogether.

anyway even though adelia is like level 10 in cooking & baking, sammy makes most of the family meals in the house because he's like "you cook & bake for work every day, pls let me do this for you, i love you" :")
