I still consider it a crime that the Gerudo sage of the past had NOTHING to say about Ganondorf in TotK. They could have grown up together. They could have trained against each other. They could have been siblings, friends, lovers, or just classmates. Is she sad or angry at him for attacking Rauru? Did she like him as king before he attacked Rauru? Is she jealous that he gets to rule the Gerudo and not her? How does she feel about the other Gerudo joining him over her? So much missed potential.

This is all true. So much missed potential. The same goes for Riju.

The same goes for all of the Gerudo, especially given that anyone can see the giant geoglyph of Ganondorf in the Gerudo Highlands from the walls of the city. A main theme of the development of the Gerudo in Tears of the Kingdom seems to be the reconsideration of their rule not to allow men into Gerudo Town, which stems from "a long-held belief that men only bring disaster." The revelation that the Eighth Heroine was a man in Rotana's "Heroines' Secret" quest could have been used to make a strong thematic statement in this regard, as could the stories of several other NPCs in and around Gerudo Town. Unfortunately, since no one is allowed to acknowledge or discuss the existence of Ganondorf or the origin of the prohibition against men, all of these narrative threads are left hanging.

I understand that a lot of the writing in Tears of the Kingdom was outsourced, and the contracted writers were almost certainly given the directive not to include anything that might inform or contradict series lore. For most of the NPCs in Hyrule, this is fine. In fact, I'd say it's actually quite lovely to be able to see all sorts of small stories that have nothing to do with magical princesses or ancient kings. For the Gerudo in particular, though, the inability of characters to talk about a major element of their history and culture is extremely awkward and frustrating.

Genuinely sick of furry hate even if it’s a joke. Like ohhh haha furries are so weird and creepy! They all fuck animals! It’s exhausting at this point. No new material and it’s just dumb hateful shit. Why can’t people just leave furries alone like for real who cares

the concept of the slur replacement project feels a bit like historical revisionism? especially considering how much i see people recommend it as the recommended way of reading homestuck. it's sanitizing down the more unpalatable bits of homestuck to make it seem more friendly and wholesome (which seems incredibly common among homestuck fans in general, especially among those who like to pretend the epilogues never happened, which is a whole other discussion i won't get into rn), and that just feels weird. not to mention the execution of it is very poor in general. the "future arachnids grip" joke is funny actually, and the change they made to make it "later arachnids grip" not only makes it a weaker joke (as it was initially a play on how the concept of gayness isn't really a thing to trolls), but also introduces an inconsistency in the writing, as it only does this change for vriska, drawing more attention to it. there's also a fucking... random bit where iirc for one line they replace a mention of bill cosby with... gnomeo and juliet? i think? which is not only a baffling decision that they don't, but is technically introducing an anachronism because that movie didn't come out until 2011. the writing they used to replace things in general just doesn't feel very homestuck-y, and it always feels clunky and awkward.

Heard someone say "Nanami is for the girlies with resolved daddy issues" and it opened my third eye

My favorite thing in the world is where Wilyss romance fics always end in a pregnancy announcement. And you can tell it's written by someone who has neither experienced romance nor sex nor anything of the sort, because they think the end goal of all those things is a child. It's like a jumpscare every single time like wdym Alyss is pregnant?? And happy about it?? I can't think of a character who would want a baby less in possibly all of fiction. She'd be sobbing about it, not jumping up and down from happiness

To me, everything Cub and Scar do can and will be related back to the ConVex lore if I think hard enough

Keiran Kingson and Adrien Agreste are basically the same person

okay but when are we going to talk about what's really important: Ruan Lanzhu's moles

how did LJS ever get through a scene without kissing them, I don't even know, they're magnetic

you are right, you are SO RIGHT about the FACE MOLE AGENDA. holy moly, the face moles. I need a moment, ling jiushi needs a moment, we all need a moment.

I mean, it isn't enough he has a cute cheek mole. who doesn't love a cute cheek mole. I am team cheek mole! no, he has to be a drama llama and have the sexy eye moles too. how is this allowed. (there has to be a better word than eye moles, I'm so sorry for that unsexy travesty of a phrase.)

anyway, new headcanon: the real reason ling jiushi was so oblivious about the hardcore zero-subtlety flirting was because he was head empty, only face moles for 38 whole viki length episodes.

Cassie and Kassandra from Assassins Creed Odyssey are basically the same person. Redhead. Braided hair. Bird companion. Deadly with a bow. Prove me wrong

Not to be a bitch but I'm genuinely tired of seeing people call this game a “banban ripoff” or “youtuberbait” this project was clearly made with care can we start uplifting creators instead of dragging their stuff through the mud because people wanted to stream the game. Sorry

I'm so so so incredibly devastated that some people think people only like Tavros because it's "moral". For whatever reason, it is so utterly out of the realm of possibility it's his themes (believing in oneself, fledging, becoming better once extricrating oneself from harmful people) or personality (he's unsure of himself and still trying to find footing in being confident, he's unintentionally funny, etc) that draw people to him. I don't mind the comments saying he's annoying because sure, I can definitely see that, but boring isn't the right word.

Personally, I'm just upset they keep putting their grievances about Tavros in the tag. Really? What was your purpose in doing so? Are you on an ultimate quest to piss off the Tavros fans????????????
