#the wheel is...not quiet

JUNIE USED THE WHEEL! Flat-out run!

Okay but it's super interesting how

Din = Power = Ganondorf

Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda

Farore = Courage = Link.

Because Din, in the hylian creation myth, created the physical world. Naryu then created the laws - gravity, time, etc. And Farore finally created life - plants and people.

Din created the body, naryu the mind, Farore the soul.

And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.

Ganon is physical power, he is big and intimidating and he breaks things. He is cunning and determined, but that's not what he focuses on. He is might makes right.

Zelda is wisdom and cleverness. She is stall tactics and information and team work. She is a powerful mage with a spine of steel, but that's not how she'll win. She is the pen being mightier than the sword.

Link is courage and persistence. He is the wild card sneaking behind enemy ranks, always moving, plunging into terrifying situations head first. He's a phenomenal fighter with a keen wit, but that's not what will get him through his challenges. He is bravery not being the absence of fear but the triumph over it.

They sit in perfect parallels to each other.

And ganon is reborn through his body - his resurrection is immortality. No matter how low he is cast, as long as he has a body he can claw his way back. He can cling to his power, build it ever higher.

Zelda is reborn through the magic of her bloodline. It's the accumulated knowledge handed down for generations, the unique power she must master, the skills she must develop to survive and get her kingdom out the other side intact. Even her name, the knowledge of herself, is handed down from all the way from the very first. Her ancestors knowledge of her future presence, her stability, is what gives her the edge.

Link is reborn in spirit. He is not bound by flesh or blood. Just like his wanderlust soul he can reappear in any time or place. His variation, his unpredictability, is exactly how he fights. It's what makes him so hard to pin down.

Ganons need to build strength means he can't chase after link. Links impulsiveness means zelda can outwit him. Zeldas stationary predictability means she's an easy target for ganon.

But the other direction?

Fire melts ice, ice redirects lightning, lightning burns fire.

And that's the very essence of the triforce.

The Forsaken fought among themselves as much as they fought the Dragon. But everything that I could find out said that Lanfear, Lews Therin, and Ishamael were inseparable before the War of Power. They were best friends. Just like these kids.

Buddie headcanon: when Eddie has a nightmare about Buck getting struck by lightning, the only way he'll calm down is if he's lying down on Buck's chest to hear his heartbeat and feel his chest move because Eddie is haunted by the remnants of doing cpr on Buck's corpse on his fingertips. He'll only be able to go to sleep with Buck constantly talking to him, his words washing over him in soothing waves, because the worse part of it all was the silence there had been when he lost Buck. He couldn't hear Buck anymore; couldn't hear his heart or his voice or his bright laugh or his "Eddie". So he presses close to Buck's chest, and let's Buck's arms and words wrap around him comfortingly and lull him back to sleep.

I wrote a 'What if you could kiss the Witch?' fic! It's got similar vibes to Kiss the Razor, being fairly silly, but with 100% less face-biting. Actually, with more face-biting, but 100% fewer faces being bitten off.

Fanvidding again, this time resting with my girl Moiraine who needs a minute and needs a hug.

DON'T GIVE ME IDEASSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and when hiraeth releases their final mini album before a year long hiatus or more so poppy can focus in her health + kaia can do her own things + yvan can do musicals and do whatever projects they want because in the dulceverse yvan will be glinda for wicked instead of ari bc i can do whatever i want this is my silly universe and i can do whatever but two months in and vivi's rent is due and the lights are flickering and the eviction notice is at the front door and none of the girls are answering her calls despite them being together at poppy's vacay home in lake como so she had ONE chance and ONE dream she had NO OTHER CHOICE so she got out a dusty and retired angel of the season project and got these three talented girls from diff companies that she's been eyeing to be hiraeths little sister unit and it's all fun and games until the new girlies don't do good because there will never be another hiraeth / another kaia poppy and yvan and they have a lot to carry on their shoulders even during predebut and there's a lot of self doubts and hesitance and insecurity and tension between vivi and even themselves and it becomes a really big problem where they don't stand each other or just refuse to understand each other and it will be a story of them slowly becoming and understanding that they are their own person, either alone or together as they try to carry on a legacy even when they are not hiraeth they are THEMSELVES!

LORE SPEAKING they were born / created by "mother" the exact day each seasonal angels broke their own loop by eating their forbidden fruit = giving into temptation and they are little angels who were born to parallel hiraeth as hiraeth weren't "pure" anymore but ffs the little sisters wanted to be like them wtf....... and then they were left behind in celestias castle or palace i don't remember what it was and they hold some kind of grudge because why did they leave and not us?! why did they not took us with them?! but eventually hiraeths doctrine cult like messages gets to them and they are not ready to break their loop but instead they start shaking things up in celestia's castle palace whatever and being a pain in the ass for "mother" because they are sharing to other angels that they could be and do more outside mothers doctrine and this even makes the little sisters realize that they are their own person/angel and they are not the seasonal aengels as much as mother wanted them to be and maybe they start their own "cult" and its not like "mother" can force them to leave celestia because they are perfect w no sins!

Extremely funny of book readers to be swearing up and down that Siuan using a fourth oath to compel Moiraine in the show (an act that is considered the same thing as assault in this universe, btw) is "totally in character" for Siuan, when Siuan in the books states how much she values the three oaths, and how she retook them as soon as she was allowed and how she literally considers the oaths to be at the core of what makes Aes Sedai who they are

[queenofmalkier]

I can't remember if I've said this or not, but Lan was the only one who would have figured out Moiraine was shielded and not stilled. Full stop.

No one bothered to test because they assumed they already knew the answer already, even Moiraine.

[elveny]

Also can we talk about the ACTING in Wheel of Time?? It feels like every episode the actors surpass themselves again and again.

The subtlety, the rawness, the emotion.

I am. Deaded.

[smalltimidbean]

(Just to preface this: There was a fire in my building this morning, but everyone was evacuated (including my animals) and the fire was extinguished, and it is all okay now! I am just being comedic about it, bc that's how I cope jfgksgfd)

So how's your Friday going?

[mumblelard]

clarice is about to start popping off. she loves the autumn and she has at least three dozen little blossoms in various stages of exploding pink engorgement. i'm so proud of her. i moved ruth over close because sometimes clarice's wantoness encourages her. bob, the chia christmas tree, is new here, and he has no idea what he is in for even though he has been putting on quite the big bushy fertility show himself. complications ensue

[supurrb]

being the upstairs neighbor with a cat that is literally addicted to his cat wheel and scream cries if i take it away from him feels criminal. but here i am, silently groveling to my downstairs neighbor while i let nova get his sprints out before i take the wheel back down.

[tiggyloo]

Helen's design always confused me a little bit, because you can't really tell what parts are clothes and what parts are just her body. Kineceleran helmets are parts of their skulls and skin, which goes into the neck and further along the body. And despite being half human, the alien side obviously reigns supreme.

So what's going on here. What are your leg pouches attached to.

[dittomander]

okay, but I feel like a live-action Zelda actually could really work IF it's similar in tone to the Dungeons and Dragons movie.

like yes by all means have big, high-stakes fantasy battles and serious moments of genuine grief and tragedy but it has got to wholeheartedly embrace the inherent silliness of the source material or it's just not gonna feel right.
