#the rumors arent true also

[sonknuxadow]

seeing people use the fact that theres a big steam sale on sonic games rn that excludes generations as evidence that generations is gonna be delisted soon or sega is trying to avoid encouraging people from buying it because its getting a remaster or something and. idk about that one guys. i would understand if generations was the only game excluded from the sale. but in reality EVERY sonic game that costs 20 dollars or less is excluded from the sale. i think theyre just wanting to only put the more expensive games on sale and theres not any deeper meaning to it

Also I always assumed the Alicent/Targaryans dynamics were supposed to be a metaphor for westeros and the targaryan take over- like the targs are not supposed to be in westeros with the dragons, they took over by force and held power via the dragons, but none of them are native to westeros and Dont Fit as rulers of the nation.

Alicent is the metaphor for westeros, and Aegon and Rhaenyra are two different targaryans who rely on targ exceptionalism, but arent getting what they want from her. Aegon will never be loved by Alicent like he wants, like a real son that she wanted, just like the targs will never be completely loved by westeros like true children of the country, bc they took it by force-just like Aegon was forced onto Alicent.

Rhaenyra on the other hand, can't marry Alicent, and cant get any closer to her bc they live by completely different rules, just like the targs will never be able to fully integrate their customs into the culture of westeros. Rhaenyra will always think of herself as a Targaryan closer to a God, and Alicent and westeros will always resent her for it.

I always assumed that was on purpose that the whole dance with Alicent/Aegon/Rhaenyra was a bit of a metaphor for the targs not able to really settle into comfortable harmony with westeros, always kept apart by something.

this is actually a great interpretation of the dynamics of the targaryens and the world around them

personally, I think the targaryens are a clan that were supposed to have died in old Valyria, like they were literally selected by nature to not survive the Doom and to be left into history and not at all apart of the rise in the new world of westeros. but since they have survived, they are now like relics of the past that have no belonging in the new world and are the black sheep of it (or platinum blonde sheep lol). ive even read some theories that say the targaryens are now forever cursed for going against nature and not accepting their original destiny to become extinct

I also always refer to the targaryen family as the snake eating its own tail, because that's essentially who they are. they remain in power and escape extinction through continuing to birth new targaryen members and dragons for generations, but they are also destroying their own family line by continuously inbreeding to keep the bloodline pure. this has, of course, led to targaryen members with severe personality issues and rumors of instability and insanity in the line. This also can show when some of their babies are born with "dragon like features" before dying. they are their own saviors as well as their own destroyers, with this being especially shown in fire and blood and hotd

overall i just picture them as old relics of the past being plucked out of their time and going against what nature had planned for them, and now suffer the consequences of being the odd ones out in westeros who are also rumored to be rotting from the inside out

that doesn't make me love them any less, they are my favorite family in ice and fire and the mysticism that surrounds them is the most compelling dynamic of the entire series

AITA for gossiping about a friends relationship?

I know this sounds really bad but I just wanted to share.

I (14F) have been friends with a friend who we'll call Jessica (15F)

Jessica broke up with her now ex boyfriend Carter (15M) sometime in October. He accused her of cheating because of her very close relationship with Jake (14M)

It is very evident that the J's were flirting during the relationship and are still like this. Many friends and classmates have pointed this out and asked if they were dating.

Me, being an awkward teenager in a public school, of course talked to people about this breakup around October and November. To multiple different people who bring it up to me. Of course sometimes I would bring up the drama but I feel thats just the average high school experience.

Then it is revealed that Carter liked another girl, Bridgette (15F) during the relationship. He goes on to ask her out/confess to her sometime in Nov/Dec. This brings everything between Carter and Jessica back up.

People are constantly switching sides about who they believe to be in the right. This is the time where somebody tells me the "rumor" (it was half true) that Bridgette rejected Carter. Now this is half true, she wasn't ready for a relationship.

The way I know all of this? Somebody told me of course. I also found out from the primary sources because these people are in my friend group.

Nobody was that hurt from people talking about it, because thats what people do all the time. I don't feel it was that big of a deal

The other day, Carter started yelling at me out of nowhere over text in a groupchat. He swears at me and gets mad at me from stuff unrelated to this. This stuff was not even something to get mad over and he wasn't even part of it, so I'll spare you the details.

Jessica joins in with Carters rant and starts getting mad at me about starting the rumors about the realtionships which,

I did not start them

There are no rumors, these are facts

Literally other people in the group chat were talking about you

Bridgette, and the 2 others arent defending me but they aren't mad at me.

I could only say I'm sorry because you can't say anything mean and lose your friends.

I believe that

This should have never been brought up because it actually, was not a big deal, seriously, the gossiping ended after 2 weeks each instance

I did not "make jokes" and "spread rumors" to be "popular and funny" like Jessica claimed i did

Carters behavior was uncalled for because he is always trying to get a rise out of people like this. He is constantly trying to bring up everything slightly controversial thing that some one does, and then make them feel like shit about it.

I'd like to note that Jessica like to always "take the moral high ground" she constantly tells people that they are horrible people, hypocrites and pick-me's. She acts like she is better than most people and nobody calls her out for it.

I don't think I was the asshole because everyone was in the wrong

Jessica for cheating and believing she is better than everyone.

Carter for being an asshole to people

And me for gossiping about it

What they have done compared to my actions make me feel like I wasn't the asshole, and gossiping was justified.

So AITA??

What are these acronyms?

unfair dare | draco m. 🪄x reader| (she/her)

"Could you write an angst fic with draco malfoy? where draco and his friends make a bet that draco has to conquer y/ n, in the end he succeeds and they become a couple, but draco begins to have feelings for her, then she finds out and ends up with him confronting him and draco feels so bad😕":

*a/n: I added some adjustments to the request bc I got a little confused 😅 and im back so I just rambled on with what my mind was giving me so hope you enjoy!! <3🙏🏽

“draco! draco!” his friend came

“What?” He grumbled out turning to now face Blaise

“you up for some fun?” any interest that draco had, dropped

“no, now get out” he turned to continue the work he was doing

"it involves (y/n)"

and what would i want with a skank like her?" he turned, with a look of disgust

" y'know the rumors arent true... you made them" Blaise was the only one who would notice Draco’s admiration for (y/n) but knows Draco would never admit, no he’d much rather “kill himself” in the words of the angry blonde.

"Still, ive got to hold my ground, cant go folding on my own stories" the blonde fully turned to face his friend, with a face of intrest and forgetting his work

"what about her though?"

"ask her out"

"what" he laughed out in disbelief

"ask her out, i saw the redhead talking to her"

"so?"

"she looked swooned, over the moon with him... I dare you to take her, make him mad" blaise knew you and ron were just friends, he also knew that draco didn’t know that.. and he’d do anything to spite weasley and he wanted his two friends together and to finally put aside their feud

"i dont have time to deal with weasley, blaise"

"guess someones insecure.." he hummed leaving the room.

"ill show him who’s “insecure” he mumbled in a mocking way lightly slamming his hands on the desk.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

“Blaise!” “Blaise!” Draco stormed after him

“what?” he asked rolling his eyes, his friend not wanting to join in on what he thought was fun

“ you’re on, after potions”

“ oh yeah?” he asked, a smirk creeping onto his face

“ and ill even drop in a hundred galleons”

“ohhoho you are most definitely on mate” they laughed sealing their deal with a hand shake.

the blond tried to think of all his strategy on how to land the girl his friend had just sprung on him, but anything he thought of ended up with her slapping, kicking or punching him, after all she was friends with those red heads; and everyone knows they how they play.

“ now welcome back to another day students, thankful to all those who still decide to come back after my well, rather boring lessons” the professor tried to joke

“ now my lovelies, we will be working in pairs.. we’ll be doing a three day long project and it will count for your final marks”

she started calling out pairs and draco tried his best to make it seemed like he wanted nothing to do with you, after all he knew the teacher would do the opposite, she hated him.

her eyes finally landed on draco and she started looking at every girl watching dracos reaction until it got to you, he stiffened up and widened his eyes making it look like he was disgusted, blaise smiling in the background had her make her final decision

“ draco, you will be working with…. (y/n)” she gave an innocent smile, and he heard an annoyed sigh quietly escape from her mouth.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

( y/n)! I cant believe it, out of all people, draco?!”

“ its not like I could choose myself hermione” you replied, now slightly annoyed, this was the fourth time she had brought it up

“I know but-"

“ do you wanna switch or something? you're more concerned about this than I am!” you whisper-yelled out in the library

“no, well , yeah no.. im just looking out for you, he still y’know, acts like the rumors are true.., are you okay?”

“ugh I know..” you sighed out, sitting back down rubbing youre temples

“ its nothing to bad, I can deal with him.. i think”

“ well, if you need help you know where to find me” she gave you a comforting smile while leaving.

A few months earlier

“i told you to leave me alone (y/n)!”

“what's wrong afraid of a little competition Draco?” a young (y/n) had teased the young blonde she found slightly cute

“ no, now I told you, leave me alone or I'll make your life terrible here!” he seethed out, pushing the girl he was intimidated of to the floor.

you still tried to continue the friendship you thought you still had with the blonde throughout the time at hogwarts, until one day you noticed people whispering and snickering whenever you’d walk up or walk away from draco.

“(y/n) .. is it true? you’re my best friend I want to hear it from you.” hermione knew something was up and she needed you to confirm whether it was true or not.

you slowly looked up still confused “is what true mione?”

“they’re saying you had a few to many to drink yesterday and well went to find draco begging , and well you tried getting onto him and when he turned you away you tried getting onto blaise, also begging... ”

“what?..” you felt your heart shatter.

you walked up to draco after class and pulled him into a corner to save him some dignity “

“you absolute scum!” you yelled out while smacking him

“how could you?, honestly draco!”

“c’mon (y/n) you didn’t think someone like you could be friends with someone like me, did you he let out a sarcastic chuckle

“well I mean yeah draco I did!, I mean honestly I guess growing up with someone since they were young means nothing right?!” you were fuming, tears starting to brim your eyes but you pushed them back

“growing up?” he laughed

“yeah! seriously draco whats gotten into since we’ve arrived here? whats changed?” your heart started to hurt

“(y/n) your dad works for mine, he’s a servant, hell! he’s the closest thing to a human house elf!”

he said with a straight face, angered, but for a small second hurt crossed his face but having to keep his new character he switched back and just as fast as his face changed, he left. and so did the friendship you thought you had. walking back to the common room as fast as you could, trying to hold in the tears that were brimming your eyes.. sadly failing at the challenge you didn’t think was so hard.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

“thanks for checking up on me, this whole thing has had me a bit stressed” you finally admitted to hermione

“of course, now if you need anything, anything at all you know where to find me.. oh! and tonights password it “grapefruit”” she whispered out knowing the fat lady changes the secret word every night.

you walked back to your chair by the fire place and dove back into your books trying to figure out what potions were going to be the ones you were so secure on

“up so late?” a voice that freshly woken up, asked from behind

“yes … draco” you saw who it was after turning around “after all we do have a project to get to” you reminded him

“ yes of course we do..” “ listen go up and get some rest”

“no, nope-

“yes” he said softly while grabbing the books from you

“draco i said -

“yes but i said go, now go get some rest.. i’ll tell you the decided ones in the morning.”

you suspiciously got up, backing up and walking up the stairs

“late night? (y/n)"

“yes, guess you could say the same right blaise”

“i’ve been around a few common rooms” he winked

“i don’t know why they’re still all after you knowing they’re all being used..” you joked out

“they’re used to being used” he shrugged “ like draco said, go get some rest… and again i’m sorry, (y/n).”

blaise has always apologized for the things draco has done, knowing he’s hurt the girl whose absolutely nothing to him, he felt bad never standing up for her.

“its okay don’t worry” you assured with a sad smile, like always “good night, blaise”

“night!” he whisper-yelled while walking down to draco.

"that girl, im telling you shes the one"

"yeah you and my whole family tell me, now remember what we bet on is a bet and a bet only"

"yeah Draco.. its just a bet..."

blaise had been wanting to get you two together since you were young, he noticed how happy draco was when he was around you, you were his escape inside the manor, you were the one who could flip his mood entirely, he also knew that dracos family would never approve of you two together.

Assuming both spot and berry have met other mews during their lifes, what they think when the mews mentioned king and the reputation he has among them? Did they believed at some point?

Also i assume post amends they absolutely hate if the other mews bring up that topic on a conversation.

Most mews dont really talk to them about it actually. Less because of their relationship and more because it's not a topic any of them like to dwell on.

And when they do, they just call him the evil one.

Remember, Spot and Berry left King behind when he was only *slightly* bigger than they were and with the stone just freshly removed.

The other mews talk about this giant Mew with slick black fur so they dont connect the dots that theyre talking about King.

Because it doesnt *sound* like him. Even before they make amends it doesnt sound like King to them. And what kind of Mew goes around calling himself *King?*

It's only a little later that it clicks in their head. And they get fruatrated, cause the rumors arent true and the mews are blowing it out of proportion

They dont really argue with it, only saying lines like "Ya know, he's not really like that." And "That sounds crazy, even for a Mew."

It does nothing, but theyre trying.

You have a crab detector blog now?

Wow I guess you really like crabs/silly

i am sooooo normal about crabs (im using this as an excuse to speedrun a few crab facts hold onto your claws)

if you dont like pictures of crabs because they look like spiders dont look below the cut, i will put the information and then pictures of the crabs at the end so if you want you can learn about them without having to see the pics :D

first ima talk about boxer crabs also known as a pom pom crabs or if you’re a NERD lybia tessellata. these guys are named after the sea amenomes they hold in their claws because they box other crabs with them and they also look like pom poms.

next fuckin ghost crabs or Ocypode ceratophthalma i love these guys so much. i need to do a deep dive into these guys but my main favorite fact about these guys is that they have teeth in their stomach (not unusual for crabs) that they grind together to make a growling sound to scare off predators

next we have sally lightfoot crabs or red rock crabs, named after how well they can walk across rocks with their insane agility these bright red crabs are almost impossible to be captured. these agility skills plus the amount of times they molt to make their carapaces super strong make them almost impossible to be killed by predetors. another way they protect themselves against predetors is they they spray water out of their shells to scare them away, tho they keep this water so they can breath on land so they would probably prefer to keep it.

onto my love the fiddler crab. the males have one big claw that they mainly use to impress female fiddler crabs and if that if another fiddler crab catches the females eye then they will fight to the death (okay i dont know if its to the death and i cant double check right now but i know they do fight)

okay im on a bit of a time crunch so this is going to be my last crab but if you want to know anymore then ask me and i will gladly supply information (preferably in the ask box of my @holy-crab-guys account, mainly for organizational reasons.)

ANYWAYS the final crab, you know em, you love em, you may have had em as a pet at one point, HERMIT CRABS!! these guys are not technically true crabs but like they have crab in the name so i will make an exception. these guys arent really a specific kind or crab because the encompass a lot, from the tiny crabs you may have had as a pet or seen in the touchpool of an aquarium to the giant coconut crabs that are rumored to have eaten Amelia Earhart and her bones they are all hermit crabs. while the tiny hermits need to find shells to keep them safe, the giant coconut crabs develop a hard skin as they age and grow out of needing shells. for the tiny ones that need shells tho they look out for pheromones that animals with shells let off when they die so that they can move into their old shells. (i dont know if these pheromones are different for animals with shells ans animals without shells but i will have to look into that.) also they have evolved to have penises that are 60% the length of their body so that they can mate while still in the shell. i didnt know how to work this in but i couldn’t leave it out.

also please fact check me, most of this is from my memory and i know that it isnt the most reliable source. not the scientific names tho i forgot all of those so i had to look em up.

Wattpad's New AI-Review System and "The Purge"

source

What's Happening?

The past week or so, there have been reports of user's stories getting shadow-banned (delisted from rankings) and sometimes even removed. This is due to Wattpad's recent deployment of an AI-powered tool used by their support team. (Source) The tool is designed to aid Wattpad in flagging guideline-breaking content with manual reviews of the stories flagged. When a story gets flagged, it is "shadow-banned" (i.e. removed from rankings and searches) until it's been reviewed by staff.

If your story has been removed, you can contact Wattpad Support to appeal the decision.

Also important: Wattpad's "age of consent" rule has been updated. Previously, it followed the Canadian federal law of sixteen (16) years or older. On April 15th, 2024, the guidelines will be updated to reflect the new age of consent requirements of 18+.

That means for content including sexual acts between characters, both characters must be eighteen (18) or older. More tame acts (i.e. kissing, holding hands) between underage (16+ years old) characters is still fine and sex can be alluded to, but may not be described. Please review the News and Updates channel for the full text.

What Is The "Wattpad Purge"?

The "Wattpad Purge" is one of the terms given to Wattpad's recent surge in removing stories.

As mentioned above, the AI tool flags the content for manual review by a human. This simply means that it's the same process as before, just faster. Most likely, users will continue to encounter the same roadblocks they have before - little to no information about why their story was removed, no notification of removal, etc.

If what they said is true, the AI has no connection to the removal of content beyond flagging it.

Is this only targeting LGBT+-related content?

At the moment, this is only a rumor. There are a few reports of non-LGBT+ stories being shadow-banned. However, plenty of authors have reported their LGBT+ stories have been affected. I, personally, have had my LGBT+-related content shadow-banned, though I've noticed my favorite author's are not (albeit, they are popular stories).

What can I do?

Realistically? Not much. Wattpad's support team are notoriously slow and often times actually unhelpful. You can contact Wattpad Support and ask about your works being shadow-banned, but nothing is guaranteed.

But, what you can do - and this is unanimously recommended by old-timers like me - is, please for the love of God, BACK UP YOUR STORIES! It is the most important thing for you to do for any kind of projects, not just writing. Back it up! Save it on a flash drive, the cloud, on an external hard drive, CD, tape, whatever you have! Heck, write it down in a notebook if you have to!

Write it off Wattpad, copy and paste it to there later. (Related: u/Anna__V's "PSA: Don't Write on Wattpad") There are a variety of programs you can use! Microsoft Office (Word online is free), Google Docs, Apple's Pages app, LibreOffice, etc. Someone was even advertising a program they were working on (Sonovel), and it cloud saves! For more recommendations, please check the Writing Resources document.

Forget it, I'm leaving Wattpad!

Looking for alternatives? (Related: Popular platforms that arent as bad as Wattpad) Here's a small list:

jsyk (i just felt the need to curb some of the misinfo) the netflix avatar thing isnt true lol the showrunners arent removing the comet or the war in ba sing se or sokkas sexism its all taken so severely out of context - theyre not "removing the comet" they talked about how the timeline of the show had to be adjusted to fit an aging human cast so the whole "you have to learn all four elements in three months" thing is being extended probably to a few years instead, the war in ba sing se one was just satire, and sokka's sexism is being Reworked to feel more realistic and not as on the nose and jokey as it was in the cartoon. not to say they arent making changes that some people may not like, we wont know till we see it, but i think people are just needlessly spreading false rumors about it right now for some reason.

oh hi! that makes SO much more sense tbf

just saying they are removing such important points of the show sounds so dumb and cheap but also i agree the way sokka's sexism was portrayed in the og could use some work lmfao

i figured they'd want the show to run for a few years to accomodate the story better so that's a plus (granted they dont ruin it somehow as it happens often to tv/netflix shows)

thank you for the info!

[sonknuxadow]

im generally not a fan of the idea of any of the early 2000s sonic games being remastered because i think those games not having the most updated looking graphics or the best voice acting ever is part of the charm i dont want them to be changed to look and sound exactly like every other sonic game thats come out in the past 14 years

[locklylemybeloved]

ive been freaking out over breakup rumors recently for one main reason: taylor needs a fucking break. she just. if the rumors are true, there a million reasons why thats hard and sad for her, but to take all of that and add on ET leaking it?? in the middle of her tour?? inevitably leading to people dissecting her every move and GOING TO HER FUCKING HOME??? like. leave. her. alone. that is a real person!!! with real human emotions!!! and if the rumors arent true, then she has to deal with all of this fake shit and thats also probably really really annoying and angering.

no matter what actually happened, this hurts her in some way, and all of us should have sympathy for her and stop acting fucking disguisting (looking at you, stupid jokes abt gaylor and her next album) like pls just have some decent respect. and if u dont care, thats fine. but dont hate on other ppl for what they think or how they feel. its a frankly stupid reason to delve back into fandom discourse.

[ladymorghul]

Have you seen the newest leaks? According to some sources in Spain, Alicent and Helaena are going to be attacked by some people in FB at Jaehaerys' funeral, apparently Rhaenyra's supporters ?? They allegedly filmed the scene yesterday in Cáceres. I really hope that these are just false rumours, because if they can't let the greens have at least one moment without the blacks ruining it directly or indirectly... A child's funeral ffs. Wasn't the ruined coronation enough?!

yeah, i am also very much hoping these are fakes leaks. or that if it happens, that it won't happen at the funeral. or if it happens at the funeral, that it's just a few people who were basically made by mysaria to do so. not only does f&b describe them as beloved (tb stans will really be like 'everything positive about rhaenyra is true everything positive about alicent and helaena is propaganda') but it's just such a shitty ass move to write in this scene that doesn't exist and have helaena and alicent run for their lives from the funeral of a toddler. it's just insane and tasteless imo and if it will be further confirmed im just not excited to watch it anymore bc if they do this what else will they do

also the rumors arent that these flea bottom people riot, but also that a) the people are singing for rhaenyra and shouting 'love live rhaenyra' and b) that rhaenyra is secretly sending food to the people of kl to help them (even tho the lack of food comes from corlys stopping the shipping lanes)

so you can imagine my face when i read all of this....

[ask-the-scout-siblings]

To all: What are your thoughts about Mortimer, Riley, Nick, and Daisy? Anything that you like and dislike about them?

"Aha! I told you we'd get an ask!

"Wait- We actually did?!-"

"Anyways! To answer your question;"

"Mortimer is a manipulative asshole, the very opposite of his show counterpart. None of us really like him that much, he's way too controlling"

"But, he is good fellow to chat to, sometimes..."

"You CHAT WITH HIM?!?!"

"Mostly during tea time, he offered to have a talk with me in his office, a few minutes after I failed my first test run"

"..So that explains why we cant find you during those times..."

"Dude, you gotta have balls of steel to that-"

"W-What do you guys chat...chat about?"

"...Bri'ish stuff-"

"Moving on!"

"Riley is an obvious one, she's a bitch and a huge jerk, aswell as a very strict teacher. Most of us arent really well liked by her, except for Bonnie"

"She's sort of a me-mentor figure to me, a sadistic and...and twisted one to be exact-"

"Its probably because Im the only one who obeys her co-commands withought protest...and also because Im not...not stupid-"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing!-"

"Tho I will say, she's fun to annoy and pull pranks on"

"Now that I agree"

"Nick is a cold blooded maniac, aswell as an overly dramatic theater kid, probably the least threatening of the Handeemen-"

"He's a pathetic, shitty person, who cant seem to know what true talent is, even if it was displayed RIGHT infront of him!"

"Are you still salty about him ca-calling your...your design utter trash?"

"NO!"

"...maybe-"

"Same thing with Riley, tho, we once teamed up with eachother to pull a big prank on his rival as somekind of revenge shit. But then, he betrayed us right after we get caught. He did let me have some of his stolen spray paint, so I guess he's sort of a cool??"

"I heard a rumor that he was hidding secret portraits in his room, not sure what they are but its apparently something very embarrasing"

"Im hoping its just poorly drawn stickfigure shits or something-"

"What else could it be?"

"You dont want to know"

*Ehem*

"Moving on!"

"Daisy is probably the only Handeemen we like the most, although, her danger mode is also the scariest.."

"Pro tip; Do Not swear anywhere near her, Radley learned the hard way-"

"I can still taste the soap in my mouth..."

*Shudders*

"She's re-real nice, abit...abit of a mother hen, but nice!"

"She taught us how to bake a pie once, but, we were shortly banned from the kitchen when the stove caught on fire-"

"Not my fault no one told me shit about greese fire and water not mixing well!"

"Didnt...didnt Riley taught us about that during one of her ca-classes?"

"Not my fault her classes were too fucking boring for me to give a fuck!"

"And you wonder why she hates you so...so much.."

ZELDA IS YOUR CAR, A NEW THEORY

THE QUESTION NINTENDO IS ASKING ISN'T JUST

"WHAT IF ZELDA HAD A CAR"

IT'S ALSO ASKING

"WHAT IF ZELDA  *WAS*  A CAR"

Hear me out- this is alot of theories in one. First- it is a "you will control someone else besides link" rumor, as it involves zelda magically possessing spirit fueled choo choo goo, or controlling it with her sick sheikah slate from a distance/other realms and THROUGH LINKS ARM.

Second, it is a "zelda is dead" theory, as in order for it to make sense, she must be transported to a new plane of existence where she and link are NOT AT ALL CLOSE BY, but need to work together, As in, she's probably your "Companion" character, but like, using her sheikah phone to drone pilot links FUCKING ARM, I NEED TO STRESS THIS PART, SHES CONTROLLING YOU THROUGH THAT.

Thirdly, it is boldly answering the first question of "What if Zelda had a car" by creating a reasonably extraneous explanation for the invention of the wheel, and how the necessity for that invention would have to play out, because its something so bold and daring they needed to hype themselves up with lore in order to properly digest the Nuts and Bolts Zelda.

Fourthly, and this one is for all you boys who work so hard, it is a Zonai theory, as it must clearly explain the "Magical Ancient Tech 2: Electric Bokoballoon" vibe Totk CLEARLY HAS.

Fifthly, it is a Twilight Realm theory, because clearly the Zonai and the twilight are related, like come on now, be serious, and we've seen a sacred/twilight realm in the trailer. Be honest with me. Do you really think it isn't that?  Are you really gonna think those aren't related? Arent you just playing with your own heart at this point? Give yourself a rest. Let it be true within yourself.

Sixthly, it is most absolutely a timeline theory. which is exhausting, and I hate to say it, but its probably got some kingdom hearts level "im your evil twin but not the real evil twin but the sad evil twin within the dark you" bullshit happening. Maybe Midna and Hilda and Hylia and Zelda all walk into a room together and shrug before talking on the phone with link. The Logo is literally a car tire made out of two stone dragons. This game is about gods, wheels, times, cycles, motorcycles, circular logics, technological advancement from people breaking stuff for fun, and absolute nonsenses about what that philosophically means from a story standpoint as well as a game mechanics standpoint. That's a promise, but I’m not detailing that here.

And with those points being made- this is the Theory.

Zelda and Link, newly equipped with the Sheikah Phone that has been suspected as communicating with the dead in old crypts deep under hyrule, are exploring Ganon's crypt chamber.They find out who sealed him in the first place- the Zonai! But Gasp! Merely steppin in this chamber was folly! It begins crumbling, and the two are separated in an explosion. the hand that was sealing ganon now must make a choice-try saving a failing seal and also loose two very important prophesied people, or, to make the hard choice of  saving zelda or link while eons of magic become undone, dooming hyrule to an even crueler fate....for now.

Link is saved by the Zonai hand under request from Zelda. Zelda clearly makes a self sacrificial but calculated move, because she knows something the audience doesn't, or she recognizes... a second, shadow zonai hand, that was more reluctant and cautious, but still calling.  Yes, thats right- the zonai are in multiple realms, above and below. Perhaps they are in opposition to eachother? Or maybe...longing for eachother? As zelda falls deep into the depths, She finds herself in good company! PERCHANCE EVEN MIDNA'S COMPANY??? Though She is technically safe, by all accounts she is in a spirit realm, and therefore, dead.

Link, on the other hand (HAHA) , is pulled with the Zonai up in the sky towards a different realm we recognize- The Secret Dragon Realm!!! But at the last second!!! Ganon, or one of his goons?! Comes in and snatches link from the zonai hand as its juuuuust squeaking through the window to the other realm. The zonai arm, which is revealed to be a remote control device between realms, and links arm, are FUSED. Link doesn't make it to the spirit realm where all was going to be explained!!! 

As link falls, we get a peek at new bow falling mechanics and time slow down, but its not enough!!! We're too thrown by our powerful new arm!!! We're still falling!! AHHH!!!!!! IT'S OVER!!!!

"STOP!" Zelda cries, holding the sheikah device from the shadow realm!!

Suddenly the ground is getting farther and farther away again, and we're going BACK UP INTO THE SKY, because zelda has changed the trajectory of a piece of rubble via the sheika phone through our arm and its LIFTING US!! we're introduced to the new time reverse mechanic in our tutorial area, The abandoned and nearly unrecognizable but clearly footprintable Skyloft (I HATE THIS DETAIL TOO, BUT I FEEL IT COMIN, OKAY?).  Right off the bat, nintendo makes the goal get to the ground, but be cautious" and we learn all over again how to control the shiekah powers and some spooky new ones- including Ectoplasmic Choo Choo Goo, because all of the Zonai tech in our control is powered by Zeldas ghost/spirit power!! As we descend, we begin to realize something..... a lot of the islands in the sky are not even accessible from the height we were at. How could this be???!!! Surely there is much more to do in the sky before going down?? It seems we'll need to get to the ground and uncover, develop, and think our way out of this one with what we have below!! Wait, Is that.... ZONAI MONSTER TRUCK WHEELS?!  Zelda will need to do research based on our findings, and she'll need us to collect as much magic green choo choo goo as possible, to give her more room to possess and control objects and link's arm.

 So lets ground this concept. While Link is the character you control, You do, in a strange extra layer of role playing, Control Links Arm and the Choo Choo Goo as "DEAD" ZELDA, FROM HER SHEIKAH SPIRIT-PHONE, IN THE SPIRIT REALM. As she tries to make her way back abstractly from the dead realm to help you defeat ganon, she also has a literal direct hand in the adventure, and 

ZELDA

I agree but also disagree. I think 'god' is what someone personally believes in and most religion teaches ppl to believe in something other than themselves (myself included), we all get situations that we personally deem as unfair but still dont learn from it the first time. I dont think god is someone outside of this earth I think he is supposed to be how people see themselves but thats not the case because a lot of us we hardly believe in our own capabilities due to the unfortunate circumstances we have been told from a young age.

for example the belief that life is short, no its fucking not its often long winded boring mundane and typically average. imagination isnt creating reality, we create reality based on our limiting beliefs bc limiting beliefs and negativity are easier to latch onto and hold true to ourselves than something positive.

it is literally either try to become rich or die trying. to kill or be killed. most people have beliefs that were instilled in them based on experiences that were out of our control. if i knew what i knew know but back when i was young then yeah we mightve had better outcomes but it also how others treat someone how someone believes lies about others spread rumors gossip its all unhelpful and yet no one try to stop it? cause ppl would rather believe a lie than face the truth that most lies are not their own beliefs.

or how about the belief that school is for everyone sort of a one system one way of teaching for everyone? people arent individually taught thus beliefs pass around worse than cvid. we have all become too stuck in our ways now we cant do shit all abt it. even those that have fortunate lives and experiences still act stuck up and in their ways because its ego.

Yeah that’s why I put quotes around gods favorite. Not everyone’s religious, but me on the other hand.. 🤣

good points tho!
