« Bolson's profession, demeanor, and attire are an allusion to the Carpenters in the Japanese version of Ocarina of Time. In it, the Carpenters would aimlessly prance around Kakariko Village and notably employ characteristically feminine speech. Additionally, one of the Carpenters refers to Link as a cute boy.

@yuki2501 the fact that it is years or sometimes centuries before a piece of writing connects with someone who understands it is a strength of the medium, not a weakness. the fact that writing can exist, unnoticed, for decades and then suddenly leap of the page and grip someone’s heart is why it is powerful. you aren’t doing live standup comedy, you know? try not to judge your work solely based off of the immediate audience reaction right now; that’s not what the medium you’re working in is made for.

i’m not going to pretend like this isn’t lonely but i also want to suggest that you are not powerless. if you create something that you think is important, then what you are waiting for is simply for that thing to be encountered by someone else who agrees. that person may not exist in your audience right now, but you have to have faith that they will exist eventally, and give them a fighting chance at reading your piece when they do.
