Could you explain changelings? I'm curious it sounds like interesting lore for fop

Changelings are the outdated practice of leaving a fairy baby to be raised by (usually) a human. This can take many forms such as Replacement: where a child is taken and replaced, Mimicry: where the original child remains and the fairy child is to be raised like a twin, and Gifting, where a fairy child is given to someone who doesn't have kid but often wants one, sometimes as part of a more elaborate deal.

Fairies evolved as a type of Aggressive Mimic, specifically they are very good Brood Parasites. The fairy child would be put under a specialized charm to suppress their magic and make them look like an exact copy of the child they were replacing. Most changeling children wouldn't even know that they were changelings until their teen years, at which point they start molting and presenting classic fairy bug features (pasta puberty is not real to me I am closing my eyes I do not see it). Their magic would start returning to them too, and through a mix of magic and deeply ingrained instincts they would find their way back to Fairy World.

Over time though many fairies started to agree that this was an extremely unethical practice which led to a catastrophe of them trying to raise their own children. Since their lifespans were so long and their population was fine they eventually decided to put a temporary ban on having children as they figured out more ethical and practical solutions. This ban did not end up being temporary. By the time Peri was born basically all the knowledge related to raising fairy children was lost and forgotten.

Bonus some peri for lifecycle reference. Unfortunately the Glimmer spell has been mostly lost to time so no Glimmer for him!

Bonus info: Dog fairies/other animal fairies are not a separate species from normal fairies they're just changelings/the decedents of changelings that were raised by animals

The time scale of IDW1's Cybertronian civilization is fucking bizarre (positive) because they're long-lived, virtually immortal giant alien robots. Yet there are a significant number of them who have been alive since Cybertron's pre-civilization era (pre Golden Age) and even a significant number who were alive at the start of/during the Golden Age. A shitload who were born 1-0 million years before the war and a good amount during the war.

But basically what I mean is imagine that your grandparent (who's in the same state of fitness as you are btw) was alive in fucking Mesopotamia and got to hear Gilgamesh recited live, and your parent was present during the crucifixion of Jesus, and you were an adult during the European Dark ages. That's basically what generational differences among Cybertronians are like.

Like jfc I literally cannot emphasize enough that there are multiple living Cybertronians in great health who were alive for the fucking dawn of civilization and they're doing perfectly fine living alongside people who weren't born/built until like 6 million years later during Nominus/Sentinel's era. IMAGINE IF THE DAWN OF HUMANITY WAS WITHIN LIVING MEMORY AND YOU COULD ASK YOUR FUCKING GRANDPARENTS ABOUT IT JSXJANNCD

*passes everyone a "hard to swallow" pill bottle* i understand that dan and phil are highkey delighted by rpf fan content, but they have also expressed discomfort with conspiracy theories, speculation, and when fans have convinced themselves of a fake reality only to be disappointed when their headcanons don't come true.

not every joke about gay sex should be taken as a fact of their sex life. not every reference to the concept of marriage should be more ground for you to stand on at phwedding hill. not every improvised response to a tour pre-show question should be hyper-analyzed to have greater meaning about their affection for each other. dan and phil choose to not label themselves as boyfriends; we should not, with complete seriousness, convince ourselves that they are boyfriends.

we should not anticipate a "hard launch"—truthfully i hope they never ever make public the details of their relationship. they have already given us the knowledge that they are real best friends, companions through life, actual soulmates. and as a long-term phannie, this knowledge is more than we deserve!

continue making this community fun with ship art and gifs of heart eyes howell and fic events, but remember that we are now in a position to do so freely because of the boundaries dan and phil have set in place. we know that dan developed an ounce of bitterness towards intensive shippers who invaded their privacy and distorted reality. let's avoid another "that week in march" craze when we engage with the crumbs they feed us roombas. let's make sure we don't take their forgiveness for granted!

Okay but the thing. About no one being able to recognise Link. Is that

even if he's had time to live in the world again after BotW, Link is still an outsider to this era.

Link and Zelda are over a hundred years old now. Sure, they didn't really live through that gap, but a gap it remains for them.

it strikes me that the only area in the game where the people recognise Link is in Zora's domain. The Zora people live incredibly long lives and thus remember Link. He grew up here. He has history here. A hundred years doesn't matter when the Zora people whom he grew up around remain.

Zora's domain being such a contrast to the rest of Hyrule is really striking to me. Link is a near mythical creature; he existed over a hundred years ago and yet he's managed to remain and so

of course no one can recognise him. The myth he's become can never match who he truly is. He's as human as he can be; of course no one can recognise him as the legendary swordsman.
