This is a very important destinction! I see a lot of talk "toxic masculinity" when the right way to put it would be "masculine toxicity." The fact that Ganon embodies such traits is natural while the idea that Rauru & Link embody positive or healthy masculinity are even more so & it should be talked about more.

The dichotomy of Ganondorf thinking that his strength, power, authority, and identity comes from conquest versus Rauru’s identity and power coming from his willingness to lay down his life and soul to protect those Ganondorf deems too “weak” to deserve to live.

Ganondorf’s very masculinity coming from the domino over others; his birthright to royal power being tied to said masculinity. Ganondorf, thinking that a harsh world is needed to produce powerful people with “fighting spirit” while Rauru nurtures and protects in order to grow greatness. Gentleness and compassion being mistaken for cowardice and weakness rather than true strength. Ganondorf’s masculinity is based on conquest, subjugation, and utter domination.

“Do not look away: you witness a king’s revival!”

And Rauru’s based on selflessness, sacrifice, and compassion. Rauru’s masculinity founded upon love, wisdom, and determination to protect those who needed him. Rauru knows exactly who he is and what he’s capable of, and what responsibly he bears to those who do not have such power as he does.

“We are the king and queen who founded Hyrule, or we were the last time I checked.”

They are such perfect foils for one another, and Link is Rauru’s true successor in that regard. The masculinity that is selfless, that is built upon integrity and kindness and the willingness to be helpful and protective instead of an all-powerful conqueror. Link (and Rauru) fight for Hyrule’s future, knowing that he is strongest with his friends by his side, and that he fights for the safety and happiness of those who are not as strong as he is. Both Link and Rauru know that they cannot succeed alone.

Oh, the poetry that gentle, kind, fierce Rauru is the one who wins in the end.

Tl;dr: Rauru and Link are pinnacles of masculinity and Ganondorf views them as a primal threat to his very identity and that’s why he resorts to such desperate measures throughout Hyrule’s history, right to the end.

just had a conversation with someone who

1. is not a mmj oshi

2. reads mmj story thru twitter

about how a plotline where mmj gets picked up by a label cant actually work (they suggest the plotline. i denied it)

this is a sign to read the story not from twitter 😭

I feel this in my very soul.

Sometimes I forget I can draw. So I kinda go like:

Me: Damn, I really want to be my favorite character to Do/say something.

Me: If only I knew an artist who can draw whatever I want.

.........

Me: OH SHIT, IM AN ARTIST WHO CAN DRAW WHATEVER I WANT!

.........

Me: I can draw whatever I want.... 😳

it REALLY scares me to see a lot of people talking about not voting and citing biden's shit handling of situations as a reason to abstain. abstaining makes it EASIER for trump to win. please please please do not abstain from voting and please please please vote blue. if you thought last time was bad it will be ten times worse this time.

the thing is about modern aus you can just give them the jobs they have in canon. people change the strawhats jobs for no determinable reason and i blame oda for that damn list.

luffy - the only one who actually doesnt have a transferable job directly that you can get fun with. to me he's a paid political advocate who works for a nonprofit (theoretically all of the strawhats would work at this nonprofit under him)

zoro - dojo instructor who competes nationally

nami - some kind of conwoman. she might run an MLM. please take your pick for what kind of scam she runs. she also might literally be a thief for political reasons under a modern au arlong.

usopp - he doesn't need to have 1 job forever. kind of bounces in between a lot of them because hes extremely hire-able but hasnt found what he wants to do yet

sanji - cook, obviously. (previously: rich boy)

chopper - doctor and or in school to become one

nico robin - worked for a corrupt politician and has bounced around political jobs her entire life (ive translated crocodile here as a politician and i think that's more or less what he is.)

franky - ship dismantler and guy who makes them. his brother is literally a ceo. why does this have to be different than in canon.

brook - do i even.

jimbei - political advocate and yakuza.

RI’s “violence is bad; thus we have to violently crush any who >start< using violence” shit is so annoying and leads them only ever to crush forces that begin to oppose the status quo. but the game insists on painting them as the most virtuous and sincerely good of all the factions and thus go to any lengths to make the existence of their enemies unconscionable (even if they are “complicated” and sympathetic) and their own people “the real guys who are trying to make the complicated world a better place” despite half our energy going into destroying anything that tries it. and I feel like the fanbase has “if the authors say this is correct, then it is, and if you don’t think so you’re guilty of lacking nuance or are a brickheaded purist” syndrome about it all

Hi new Tumblr users

Please know this sites hashtagging system is categorical and NOT clout based

Aka if I look up the “Wendell and Wild” tag, I should find clips, media, art and posts related to Wendell and wild ONLY. Same with any other random tag searched

If I spy a selfie, a random neighborhood, or any other kind of “insta” post trying to take likes for a popular hashtag, I’m reporting you for spam. Most other long term users will too and your acct will be fast tracked as a spam blogger and blocked.

You will not ruin the last non corporate site for us, especially by trying to treat this site like influencers matter. If you get popular, it’s bc you’re a clown w a skill not bc your hot or rich or skinny, got it?
