My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.
[id in alt text]
#legend of zelda#loz#twilight princess#loz tp#i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it#it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy#but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way#to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present#link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face#and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up#you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way#the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art#my art#project stuff#and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them#a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt#i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

reading Shirley Jackson's college love letters to her future husband is like watching the heroine go into the basement in a slasher movie
like. girl. I know he's also a big nerd, and probably sometimes takes breaks from incessantly criticizing and trying to change you, but I'm from the future and this relationship is going to suck until you die please dump his ass
(also speaking of dying, Just Say No To Mixing Barbituates and Amphetamines. yes, even if the doctor says it's okay. no reason. celebrate your hypothetical 49th birthday really hard I SAID NO REASON CALM DOWN)
#shirley jackson#I was loaned the published book of her letters today#honestly a lot of the letters to Stanley read like someone who has been mentally abused by someone at some point#(not necessarily him- her mother was a piece of work too)#'I know I'm [histrionic/annoying/not as clever as you/etc.] but' comes up a lot#and at one point even while telling him off she's like 'well by the time school starts again I'll have forgiven you'#'and then you can change me the way you want and I'll learn to overlook your faults'#like. Shirley. look at me. whoever made you feel like this was normal or okay needs to be stoned to death#put death into their food and watch them die#she died with an unsent Dear John letter to him in her possession apparently#sounds like she was gearing up to leave#but. yeah.

while we're airing grievances for fun and profit, it remains fucking wild to me that "read theory challenge" was used as a bizarre gotcha for so much of the campaign by people who almost certainly could not have won that challenge if they'd been called on it.
like yeah, you're suuuuch a superior intellectual decolonialist scholar. tell me more about how your only reading suggestions are a vague "foucault", the communist manifesto, and ursula le guin's wikiquote page.
#there MIGHT have been a fanon reference. but telling that I've never once seen these people mention said#one of the funniest things my professor has said this quarter was clowning on people who cite foucault willy nilly#he was correct#foucault's crime is he is actually just readable enough that people can quote him out of context to sound clever and intellectual#while having no actual understanding of what the fuck they're saying#you try to quote one line of derrida (or god forbid: deleuze) and you have to qualify it with seven other lines just to sound coherent#density in academia is actually a spell cast against spineless nihilists quoting you to bulk up their leftist street cred#me just snidely remembering that one guy in persepolis. if you know the book you know who I'm talking about lmao.#anyway thinking about this cuz I have not succeeded in reading fiction but I am on like. book 6 or 7 of theory for the year#depends on if you count understanding comics as a book of theory. which I do lmao

I can't stop thinking about how the show sets up selfishness and selflessness as two sides of the same coin. How do you walk the line between making sure your loved ones can achieve their own dreams even if it means hurting yourself, and hurting your loved ones because you're hurting yourself for their sake?
It all goes back to Thame putting up his wish on the orange tree that he'll make all of the other members' dreams come true. Thame, who agrees to a shitty contract and works himself to the bone and makes it completely his burden to prove that Mars is a good investment for the company. Thame, who is made to believe that that very act of love and sacrifice is only debilitating his friends' dreams and the only way to keep his original promise is to leave.
We see Thame essentially being back at square one in this episode. He has to leave and go to Korea alone so the people he loves can achieve their dreams. But so much has changed since then. Thame had found hope, that he could simultaneously keep his promise and be selfish to want both his band and his partner. He's once again been working himself to the bone, giving up all of his time and attention between the band and Po, because his tiredness is such a small price to pay to turn that dream into reality. Why wouldn't he gladly take on all of that tiredness and more?
But despite all of the groundbreaking things he's achieved and everything he's given of himself, it doesn't work. His friends break down around him possibly reigniting the same insecurities from earlier that he worked so hard to ensure wouldn't come to pass. His boyfriend breaks up with him despite Thame promising to take on all of the burden and tiredness to make it work. He's being forced to leave everyone behind and he's being left behind too.
That flip from Thame being convinced that the best thing for him to do would be to leave for everyone else's sake, to the rest of Mars and Po being convinced that the best thing for them to do is to step back for Thame's sake is so so important to me. It's not just Thame who made making his friends' dreams come true into his own dream. The rest of Mars and Po did the same thing with Thame's dream. But how does it all work when the sacrifices you're willing to make for the dreams of your loved ones are at the cost of their happiness because they're at the cost of your own?
Thame's effort didn't go to waste. We see all of that effort manifesting in how it opens doors for the other members and Po so much more easily now. But it's also true that at the base of those new successes lie the shattered hopes of that shared dream between them.
The show sets up the question of whether the person who's leaving others behind feels hurt, and we see so many iterations of it. We see Earn leaving behind the person who was an instrumental part of his success without a second thought. We see Thame giving himself up and leaving for the band's sake. We see Jun leave twice, the first so that his friend would for once think of himself and his own success instead of letting the others drag him away from it, and the second when he's sure that his friend can be what the person that he cares for deserves. We see Pepper being completely willing to leave if the two biggest parts of his life cannot exist together and we see Gam actually leaving when it proves to be true. And we see Po leave because he cannot let himself become an obstacle in Thame's path and make all of their efforts come to waste. If that's the price to pay so that the people they love can have what they want then so be it, right? Their sacrifices are insignificant in the face of that.
But what happens when all those sacrifices still aren't enough? When the cost becomes too huge to bear?
#thamepo#thamepo the series#thamepo heart that skips a beat#mine#if it wasn't clear already i do love this show a lot and i think the writing is really clever#i personally thought that the conflict in this ep was actually very well set up since the beginning#not to say that you're wrong if you felt otherwise! i mean you don't need me to tell you that your opinions are valid#(that is if there's anyone even reading these lmao hi)#i just do think that maybe certain things that are treated as inherent failings of the ql genre have set up certain expectations#that maybe should be revised once in a while so that we can meet the story half way and see what the creatives are attempting#instead of writing it off because of those expectations?#sorry that was confusing but i've been thinking about this since peaceful property and the trainee i think if not before#i understand the feelings around things like the ep 11 curse or queerbaiting or queer women ending up with a man etc etc#i really truly do. but i think we're far enough from when these storylines were being used in the worst ways#that it's worth examining the reasoning behind storylines like that now and see if there's worth to it#before dismissing them as invoking that precedent?#idk maybe i'm wrong. anyway.

someone critiqued my use of the phrase "emotional gymnastics" saying it sounded like AI wrote it, when actually i just thought i was being clever :(
#instant psychic damage#nothing more humbling than being told it sounds like AI lolol#i am ALWAYS open to people telling me that i'm not actually clever#(s/o to my betas who tell me when shit is dumb or doesn't make sense)#but DAMN

Was talking with someone about mismag yesterday (they had just finished the first season and I'm up to date on S2) and they said that Jammer was the best "dumb jock" and I nearly imploded 😀😀 like what the f uck do you mean
#they then elaborated and said that he's smart in a body way (true) but not booksmart#and i had to hold my tongue about LITERALLY THE MOST RECENT EPISODE when Jammer has his fucking Incredible comprehension moment#anyway hearing dumb jock in reference to Jammer made me lose 17 years of my life#also though their least favorite character is Sam bc they think she's one-dimensional but im just like#did you not fucking see her banish all of Evan's demons sinply by being the intentionally kind and goodhearted and clever person that she is#I'm having a conniption#anyways Sam Britain and Whitney Jammer you are my faves forever i love you both to death don't let anybody tell you different baby#Sam Britain#Sam Black#Whitney Jammer

gender sexuality and mental health headcanons are an oversaturated market... standing out by becoming extremely passionate and attached to the headcanon that artemy burakh was born with patent foramen ovale:
#mine#artemy#the majority of people with the condition never even learn they have it because it causes no symptoms or problems#so no one can tell me that canon contradicts it...#(also to be clear i have plenty of the other kinds of headcanons and think theyre awesome i'm just kidding around)#(and also not kidding because i actually think this is quite clever for artemy for MULTIPLE thematic reasons)#pathologic

Enough time has passed to where I think we can openly admit how WK has gone through seasonal rot within its previous 2 seasons and how the hype of Season 7 along with the generally positive reception is a really green flag for the show's quality.
#wild kratts#pbs kids#kratt brothers#martin kratt#chris kratt#pbs kids go#2d kratt brothers#2d martin kratt#2d chris kratt#because season 5 and 6 were.... not good to say the least#S5 took a hard plummet in quality after the Alaska special#Idk how to describe it but episodes felt more flat and basic more often than not despite there being several good ones in the mix too#S6 was slightly better but still felt more two-dimensional and basic and oddly oversaturated (and I don't just mean in the color palate)#I know Season 7's only been out for barely a year and we've only had 8-10 episodes released#But I do think that this season is substantially different than the previous two.#It feels a lot more experimental in its concepts whilst utilizing the show's strengths#Sometimes it works like with Clever the Raven or the Blue and Green special#Sometimes it doesn't like with the Mudskipper episode#But you can tell that they've some ideas in mind that you definitely wouldn't find in other seasons.#It genuinely makes me both curious and optimistic. Bc again it took 2 years to film this season.#There's definitely more time put into the writing process as earlier seasons.#I'm gonna hold some reservations until the season ends but it's shaping up to be pretty good so far.

But then I replay Portal. And GLaDOS makes me question everything.
#glados#degrade and humiliate me#portal#portal 2#chell portal#chelldos#apperture science#glados portal#apparently I am into a clever woman telling me how much of a failure and useless test subject I am#this was a triumph. i'm making a note here. huge succes.#valve games
