Is Rebecca Sugar aware of your SU AU?
I think she's probably a tad too busy to be reading random AUs. Though if they DID read it, I'd be flattered, of course.
#i think most creators dont go looking for AUs and fanfiction of their stuff#theres something about creating something specific to yOU#and seeing a weird semi-sibling of it is kinda like getting the uncanny valley vibes#at least for some people#not a universal experience obviously#chekhov answers

How it feels to not like timebomb after s2
#I'M NOT A HATER I SWEAR I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE IT ON PAPER#i do however think that it came literally out of nowhere and was hella rushed and kinda ridiculous#like. if the argument is that original ekko fell in love with jinx it doesn't make sense because they were enemies for most of their lives#if the argument is that current ekko fell in love with au powder and now projects these feelings on jinx it's kinda uh. messed up#because she's a whole different person. entirely. it doesn't matter if both these version started out as a 9-year old powder. they had#extremely different lives and experiences and thinking that “there's still this kind of powder in jinx deep down” is straight-up awful#OR even if he didn't project his feelings for powder on jinx why would he love her in the current universe? last time they met she blew them#up and now she wants to commit suicide. there's literally no reason for him to have any kind of feelings except the slight friendly#affection that's left from all those years ago. and yet the show and most importantly the fandom treats them like a couple??? i don't get it#also it's kinda insane that s2 turned jinx and ekko into flat shipping material#again. obviously i have nothing against the shippers and do not condemn it in any way. i'm just expressing my thoughts on the matter#also what pisses me off the most. is how in ep9 jinx in fully painted with ekko's symbols here and there. has the bandage (?) on her chest#like vi. has a hood that looks like a drawing that isha made. and yet there's no fishbones or any reference to silco at all#i mean. i get it s2 hates him but i can't help it#they gave her all these relationships and pretended that they're significant to her and yet they didn't have any proper development#to really earn it#arcane critical#arcane season 2#anti timebomb#jinx arcane#ekko arcane

no wait listen we're gonna talk about how sky and wild are parallel characters with parallel adventures. listen! who had to explore a ruined, unfamiliar world in search of something specific after a devastating catastrophe? who's zeldas are the closest to the goddess? who are the ones closest to the master sword? who are the ones who had to fight a demon king who'd ascended with god-like power? who are the ones who's zeldas traversed through time and left them chasing after her? who are the ones that were too late? who are the ones rebuilding civilization? who are the ones paralled again and again by falling and reaching but never making it? why do you think skyward sword's ruins are so prevalent in botw?
it's the cycle. it's always the cycle. sky is the beginning and wild is the end and sometimes the beginning and the end are the same thing. hyrule fell before sky and rose again with him. hyrule fell before wild and rose again with him. they are the opposite and the same, so close to each other yet never touching. they are so, so much more similar than they will ever know.
#obviously they're different people with different experiences. but i'm saying look. look.#they are the mold. they are the start of everything and the end of it all#*taps mic* is this thing on#hey. hey do you understand pls tell me this isn't just a me thing#lu sky#lu wild#linked universe#parallels#character parallels#character study#legend of zelda#loz skyward sword#breath of the wild#tears of the kingdom#text post

Tim's hair is kinda like koalas's fur. it looks soft and cute and everyone wants to pet it, but once you touch it, it's Crunchy™.
Too much gel and forgetting to wash his hair

Having Tenma Tsukasa as a favourite character and making every available characters fall in love with him has got to be a package deal, I don't even know why. He's just way too powerful
World Future Star, I hope you explode into a fiery demise <3
#I say available because leo/need and Toya is out of the equation imo#and the adult characters obviously#is this a universal experience or is it just me?#it FEELS universal but I have no idea#tenma tsukasa#lasposts#project sekai#thought moment

@hylianengineer sorry I had to make a new post, the answer got too long for replies :D
Ah, the dreaded "but wool is itchy!". Not something I can relate to (I really like it when yarn/fabric has a bit of grip and structure to it, I'm not one for the ultra-soft, fluffy wools) but let's see if I can say smth useful.
First, you're definitely not alone in finding wool scratchy! A lot of people have sensory issues regarding it. Whether it can be helped at all will depend on how sensitive you are; some people can't even handle unspun 17 mic chubut merino and at that point, wool just isn't for them. Which is fine, not everything is for everyone.
Rule of thumb: the higher quality your fibre, the softer the finished garment will be. If it's just listed as "wool", it might contain recycled fibre, wool from sheep breeds that don't have a super fine fleece, or even wool from dead animals, all of which lowers the quality.
Virgin wool (I think) refers to wool that is spun for the first time, so a yarn that has no recycled fibres in it. Lambswool is a sheep's first wool. It is finer and smoother than adult wool.
Another big impact is breed of sheep and origin of the fibre. Merinos are the go-to for high quality items, but are also kept all over the world, so look to where your wool comes from. Aotearoa and South America are well known for their high quality merino wools. Sheep that live in colder, harsher climates produce a sturdy, tougher fleece, especially if they're not merino breeds. Depending on where you are, regional wool might not be what you're looking for. Britain is famous for their wool, but Shetland wool won't be super soft. Try some BFL (Bluefaced Leicester) if you can get it; it is smoother than merino and not as springy.
Wool can be superwash treated by coating the individual fibres, so the scales on the hairs are covered. This means it won't felt and can be machine washed; it also makes it less scratchy. This process is very energy- and water-intensive. The fibres are coated in silicone, I think, which makes the finished yarn feel kinda plastic-y, and it also lowers the insulating and water-repelling qualities of the wool. (All in all, you might as well buy acrylic)
You can also try looking for sheep's wool mixed with other animal fibres. Cashmere, alpaca, and mohair are probably the most common and all have their own qualities (cashmere is shiny and drapey; alpaca is smooth and kind of dense; mohair is light, extremely fluffy and super warm). All are softer than sheep's wool and nicer to the skin.
Anyway, all that to say: Look for virgin wool, look at the breed you're getting if it's specified, look for mixes with softer fibres, look at the origin of the wool. Unfortunately, when you're sensitive, navigating the world of natural fibres can be a bit of a minefield, I know. If wool isn't for you, that's not a moral failing!
#and yeah of course the price is an issue#obviously you dont want to spend so much money on a garment when you dont even know if youll be able to wear it#i promise you i get it#its just that personally for me wool is the best fibre in existence#but ik that my experiences are not universal#if you have a local independent yarn store with a good selection of indie brands go there and touch some fibres#when youre out shopping look at the labels#for online shopping....honestly dont#you will not know for sure how a garment feels until you touch it#texiles

My personal belief is that, in life, you have to be super into something that's incredibly popular and most people love, but you also need to be super into something really obscure that only like 10 people have ever heard of. You need that balance
#i do find that usually people who are into obscure shit do admit to also liking popular stuff#but not really the other way around?#could just be me obviously. Im saying from what I've seen but that is in no way the universal experience#I've just had the experience of people who find it odd that i like more indie/lesser known stuff and seek stuff like that out#and they mostly like the more popular movies/music/etc and don't really engage in anything that isn't popular#idk if that makes sense

do not want to start a fight but isn’t this totally normal. in middle school you’re like what 11 years old? I didn’t know any of this shit at that age and that has not made my life difficult as an adult even remotely. in particular I was shit at touch typing and remember being miserable in class because I was horrible at it and now I’m perfectly comfortable touch typing because I’m no longer 11 years old. I’ve taught several semesters of upper year undergraduates (meaning all of them were over the age of 21-22) in a similar coding/technical class setting who didn’t know anything about windows file structures and it was fine, they didn't blow up their computers or bring about the downfall of civilisation, they eventually picked it up over the 12 weeks of the semester because that’s how learning works
#I think the much larger concern is children not being taught about online safety and how to keep their information private#computer literacy takes many years to build up in my experience like I genuinely don’t think this is a cause for alarm#like I think you guys are doing ‘back in my day’ shit lol#I’m also obviously an outlier in many respects because I’ve been in university for a long time#so my experience is particular#however. and I cannot stress this enough. they are 11 lol

currently yearning in a way only boys can
#yes i’m still thinking abt song of achilles it ripped out my heart#but also idk if this is a universal experience#but sometimes i feel like i mourn the fact that i didn’t get to experience childhood as a boy#like getting to be rough and lanky and awkward and soft and strong and all the things it’s okay for boys to be#like not that it’s ‘bad’ for girls to be that obviously#and i still tried to#but i feel like it came less naturally and alienated me#like i just want to be feminine in the way boys are???? if that makes sense#and i’m sad that i never got to have the experience of growing up as a boy and falling in love and all the things that came with that#and i get this almost like . jealousy when i think of it#it’s like this hot anger but i think it’s really just grief#IDKKKK WOOF SORRY FOR RAMBLING HAHAHAHHAHAA#anyways idk if this is universal but!!!!! i’m gonna go think abt my doomed gay lovers#(aka reread song of achilles)#LOVE YOU ALL HOPE YOURE HAVING A GOOD DAY!!!!!!!#q speaks

loving reminder as someone who struggles with food: you are allowed to add joy to your food. you are allowed to add a little joy even if it’s a tiny thing, something silly or something weird. you are allowed to do it whenever you want, as many times as you want. anything that makes food easier and more enjoyable for you is worth it!! it’s your food, you can decide what to do with it!! you can add rainbow sprinkles to your ice cream. you can cut your food into little heart shapes. you can pack your snacks into cute little bento boxes. it is not pointless or childish, it is an effective and active coping tool that you are allowed to use.
give yourself a little joy. the little things add up.
#even if it’s just a teeny tiny thing it’s sooo helpful to get just a little bit of excitement out of ur meal!!#you are allowed to do it!! if it’s ’pointless’ then what’s the point in denying yourself from it??#I’m being so serious like. put stickers on your air fryer. put your meals into cute containers even if you don’t need them.#cut your food up into little cute pieces if you have the spoons for it. buy yourself Dino nuggies.#try to have at least one thing to look forward to in every meal even if it’s just a little piece of candy#just!! change things up!! be self indulgent!!! you are worth it and anything that helps you be healthy is worth it!!!#there are no rules!!!! you are allowed to be kind to yourself!!#anyways. don’t mind my rambling. I’m just trying to romanticize my own struggles rn#and it’s genuinely been very interesting to learn what helps and how my brain works!!!#idk I just think about it a lot. it means a lot to me rn.#also before anyone tells me I piss on the poor. obviously my experiences are not universal and will not apply to everyone#things that work for me might not work for you and that’s ok!! I wish you luck I love u!!!#tw ed#just a teensy implication#gem don’t look#arfid

i see and respect your “Wild is an arsonist who burns forests down” joke, but i raise you the ever funnier “Wild is a huge wildlife conservationist and will personally fight anyone who dares to set it ablaze (aka almost every single other Link)” joke
#this post is sponsored by the immense amount of guilt i experience whenever i accidentally light the forests on fire in botw#wild in his smokey the best arc#guys who else are wildlife conservationists#maybe time bc he grew up kokiric? he’d have lots of respect for the forest#sky? maybe that’s just for the birds tho lmao#definitely not twilight aka ‘let me burn down a bomb storage building’#anywho i think it’s just so funny to have the link with the easiest access to fire be completely again using it regularly#like yeah he’ll use it for a puzzle and to get places#but he’ll do his due diligence in making sure it’s contained and won’t harm anything#obviously this is just a headcanon and i don’t mind any fire loving characterizations of wild#i just think wild tackling legend bc he was going to light something on fire is funny as shit#linked universe#lu#wild lu#lu wild#wild linked universe#linked universe wild#is there anything in canon that says wild burns down forests or something#idk i have a bad memory

I don’t mean to offend but does being pregnant make you feel dysphoric in any way?
No worries, Anon!
I’ve felt a lot of things but I don’t think dysphoric has been one of them lol Honestly I can’t say I’ve felt any dysphoria throughout this whole thing so I’m taking that as a win >:D
#anonymous#ask#obviously my experience isn’t universal and someone else might feel differently#but I’m pretty comfortable with the experience so far#minus all the getting sick and being stupid sore but yknow#joke answer pregnancy is the original body horror im living the dream

Just read the weirdest gotcha against asserting that corsets were not universal torture devices, on Instagram
Some bright spark challenges a historical costumer, “if you think corsets were so comfortable, why don’t you just WEAR ONE?!“
Oh
Oh no
 please don’t tell me to wear a corset
I would just. I hate that so much. I would hate it especially if it were of sage green cotton sateen with black flossing designs. That would. Suck so bad.
Oh commenter, please don’t buy me a RedThreaded gift card, since they’re having a sale right now, and thus compel me to take up this vile challenge
#corset#dress history#historical costuming#like when will they get it. When will they get that we say these things are comfortable for us based on experience#Obviously that doesn’t mean every single person in the past found it comfortable but it does mean that – again –#it’s not a universal Instrument of patriarchal torture

i feel like people don’t understand how painful bpd truly is tbh. i’m not saying this to evoke sympathy moreso to just talk about it… like i have multiple MH disorders including CPSTD and chronic depression and neither of them are nearly as painful as bpd. my worst chronic pain episodes are about as painful as my average bpd episode. i feel like if more people understood how truly horrible it is to have bpd they would treat it differently…
#sunspeak#bpd#obviously my experiences are not universal but studies have shown that bpd is one of the most painful mental disorders in terms of mental—#—distress#i think this is somewhat true of all severe MH conditions but bpd is again one of the most excruciating
