Hyperspecific poll!!

[deoidesign]

A frustrating development with the growing lack of reading comprehension I've personally noticed is an emerging fervor of insisting things aren't canon unless they are explicitly stated beyond all reasonable doubt.

I can not emphasize enough how harmful a mindset this is to have. Yes, it's wonderful to have characters outright say "I'm trans," but to deny a character's identity for not saying that is dangerous.

Plenty of real people prefer not to use specific labels. Historically, people didn't have our modern terms or modes of expression. Many modern cultures don't use these terms, either, and plenty of people within those that do can't safely openly identify.

If the only representation you accept as canon is within modern (and let's be honest, wealthy white able-bodied American) standards, then you are denying yourself and others a huge amount of representation and seriously limiting the media around you.

Hi, sorry to be anon, but can I ask to see the Vargas family post trick or treating? Divying the goods, or just being tired from the event? Thank you and Happy Halloween!

Day 30 - Fine, but you're taking nightmare duty

so with echoes of wisdom .. i havent watched any of the trailers beyond the very first one and the thumbnails/screenshots and what others have said about it-

but with the world inside the rift being called "Welt des Nichts" aka "world of nothing/void" in german ('still' in english, for some reason) and demises title in french being "avatar of nothing" ... yeah my anxiety is shooting through the roof again

(hopefully you can be a little more forgiving for me being anxious/weird about it bc demise is my blorbo)

i had similar worries with totk, that werent proven true thankfully, but the darn book is making it all worse again with all those weird lore things the game doesnt even so much as hint at AND potential retcons- im in for a really rough time huh, not just stress in real life (more in tags.. its alot) but now about my specific hyperfixation from two things even (AND artblock still..)

weird as it may sound, i dont want demise to get more lore, partly bc i dont believe theyd do anything with him that i would like (given their track record) but much more importantly- the fact that he has this little lore about him is precisely one of the reasons why i fell in love with him, i tend to like characters that are neglected by the narrative, and his story being both so flat and already done meant i can be very creative with what i come up with for him without necessarily contradicting anything in canon (which is ... or was a big point of how i wrote destiny's story and lore, working with canon in a way that reframes it all without straight up ignoring it ... but i suppose i urgently need to let go of that and accept i spend alot of time working things that will go to waste :( ) AND not having to worry that there will be more stuff with him that would massively change not only what im writing but also potentially how i feel about him since the game he was briefly in was the oldest chronologically and ended with his death- i didnt expect them to mess with anything that far back and thought theyd just go forward and leave the timeline behind and wouldnt mess with it again, given how botw seemed to be a sort of 'fresh start' that seemingly regarded the past as the past that needs to rest and that the timeline was finally no longer a discussion if everythings unified through botw and one thing going forward

but i suppose i was very wrong with that .__.

right now the only thing that motivates me still is the left over determination and spite to work on my zelda comic, since i have never gotten this far and really want to get something done for once, but i cant lie that im feeling like i should pause all work on it too to wait and see waht the book and the new game will do .. either to determine if i still have the will to keep working on it after those things are out (my love for tloz has been taking alot of hits lately ..) or if i have to change stuff (mostly bc of my lore problem trying to not ignore it ..)

their dynamic (homosexual relationship) means everything 2 me

So I go on tumblr, and decide to look up the Chima tag because it was a Lego theme I loved when I was younger.

And I guess I was right about the internet: “You will learn something, wether you like it or not.”

WHAT DO YOU MEAN CHIMA’S CANON TO NINJAGO?!

Fuck all of y'all in Florida how dare you misrepresent my liberal king that man loves women (not in that way) and he would not STAND for this smh

[sroloc--elbisivni]

sometimes i hate having migraines. a lot. there’s a local small traditional music festival happening tonight that my cousins are going to and i know i would love to go. but i am also, as you might have guessed from the first sentence, dealing with a really bad migraine and i know if i went i would have been tired and stupid and overwhelmed and miserable. but since i use ‘don’t miss out on stuff you can only do while you’re in the place you are’ as a guiding principle and i know i can’t do this again, i am lying here in the dark tired and stupid and cranky and miserable and deeply conscious that i am missing out. ugh.

You know I like a band when I start actually looking into them instead of just listening to the same 10 songs over and over again

[skunkes]

what they dont tell you about being incredibly introspective is that you'll think you're done making realizations and then you'll just make more realizations always all the time forever

It’s been a bit but how are Rita and Fyodor ?? I miss them they were so cool i wanna know why Rita had to move up north </3

my babies resulting from my period of feverishly devouring romfan manhwa <3

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST i wish i had more art to show you but alas

i touched on this obliquely in the original lore dump, but rita's childhood friend is currently being suspected of moving against the current (asshole) king and her father has ties to the former prime minister, who was also known to have an antagonistic relationship with the king. rita herself had a reputation as someone skilled at moving through the noble circle (before she arranged her marriage and despite her barreness). so staying in the capital would have inevitably drawn attention to her as a potential anti-royalist (which. she would be but she's tired and most of the people she immediately cares about are out of the king's reach.) PLUS the skeeve who tried to arrange for her hand when she was a kid would have been inescapable in the capital.

this would all come to a head though because things have been getting worse in the capital and spreading out from there and then her childhood friend (who she mayyyy have been collecting information for) shows up at her husband's door asking for the North's aid.

I think that part of what like. kills me about the whole media literacy and critical thinking aspect of enjoying media these days is that people refuse to like. contextualize that

A. Bad media can still hold significant meaning to people

B. Media made for a demographic you aren’t apart of is not inherently bad media

C. Media made for and consumed by the opposite demographic is not inherently shallow or flawed nor is it above criticism for its media tropes either.

hello... (and bye ig 👋)

[lightbulb-warning]

a thing that you hang over the cot of a baby is called a "mobile"

THAT'S THE BITCH- thank youuuuu!! :D!!

92.5 calendar years ago, marcel duchamp in alexander calder's art studio, pointing at the thingy that moves: "yo this thingy that moves sure is mobile. "
