i don't think anyone ever genders LoZ/AoL Link in-game, and those games are basically deuterocanon as far as Nintendo is concerned anyway, so there’s no reason not to interpret them creatively

honestly link from the original legend of zelda being a girl might as well be canon

sapphically? why not just sapphic’ly that’s how it’s pronounced

is there any reason we write it -ally and not -’ly tho

@coriander i guarantee you every trans tech nerd on mastodon crushes on late 60s margaret hamilton so: yes

:blobmeow_coolthinking: i should make zelda a traumatized punk

this story has gotten very sexual and gone in a direction i was not anticipating

boosting explicit artwork is a real gamble because i will either go “haha yes” or i will go “really? but this is plainly transparent trash?” and you will never know which

hmm i’ve seen some reasonably interesting explicit artwork boosted into my feed lately; this should not be the exception

@zkat (browsers have to traverse the nodes in document order and determine which ones match which selector strings in order to render the document anyway, so they definitely have fast tooling for this)

@zkat my understanding (not a browser implementer so i could be wrong) is that all the optimization is in the "does this node match the selector string" bit and the actual querying is a straightforward traversal of nodes in document order, returning the ones which match

like you could maybe get a little faster by optimizing certain queries to not do a full traversal, keeping track of each node's position "in document order", and doing a sort at the end but i'm not sure it's worth it…

i would expect the more expensive operation in most documents is probably doing the "does this node match one of these selectors" boolean test

@zkat doesn't it just walk the tree and return all/the first node(s) which match the selector string?

@coriander i listened to HOTORI when it was a single and loved it; still working through the rest of the album now but so far it has not disappointed
