link to the past: zelda is a character, she contacts link telepathically, she doesn’t do much afterwards but she is REALLY cute

link’s awakening: no zelda

ocarina of time: zelda turns into sheik, she helps out link a bunch and has a whole character evolution from knowitall sassy little kid to badass mystery dude to either trans or sapphically sorrowful princess

majora’s mask: zelda gets a flashback i guess

wind waker: zelda is tetra, she’s a badass pirate, loads of agency, whole narrative arc about being dumped with a legacy she doesn’t want, metaphorically and physically is imprisoned by it, eventually breaks free with link’s help and goes sailing away as a badass pirate again

phantom hourglass: tetra jumps on a boat and is immediately turned into a statue

breath of the wild: zelda is this trans dude who just wants to run around like a wild child and play with robots but her meanie dad tells her she has to be a PRINCESS and PRAY A BUNCH and she gets a lot of trauma from it and it keeps her from accessing her divine gifts until she finally realizes that there are others who have supported her and she has the power to help them

tears of the kingdom: who wants to guess

the actual narrative problem of Zelda games isn’t that she doesn’t have agency but that her arc so clearly revolves around the first game that whenever they make a sequel they’re just like “idk turn her into stone”

you sure hit the nail on the head with that one there, buddy

people who are like “zelda sure doesn’t have much agency for a game named after her” as if that wasn’t the entire plot

the second result is a Fandom Wiki page for Glitched Cat (Pet Simulator X)

i searched “glitch cat family” and our front page showed up so @aescling i guess we're not on the deep web yet

i always thought deep web was like, “doesn’t have a DNS record”

not “isn’t on google”

is that really what they’re calling the deep web these days

“has a robots.txt”

« This paper examines how the deep Web, i.e., Web sites that are not indexed and thus are not accessible through Web search engines » wait am i on the deep web right now

how is this the first hashtag estradiol post on this server what have you all been doing

#FediTip for new users

Did you know that it may hypothetically be possible to make your #estradiol tablets go 6× farther with an experimental formulation that you stick to your gums? Imagine if, say, one #trans #girl’s prescription wound up producing way more doses than she alone might need to take! What would #she do with the extras? 🐿️

This is not medical advice or research but it sure is interesting!

am i going to be revising our blocklist to be much more strict in the coming days to mitigate the effects of this surge of new users on our local community? yeah, i am

but also, i can just do that

sorry for the meta this one just bugs me lmao

it's 2022; run glitchsoc, block the techbros, and keep on

"Eternal September" on mastodon was a lot worse when there were only 3 servers

y’all familiar with the concept “term of art”

also that's not why nazis have an easy time radicalizing you

in fact most of the world does not give a fuck what you ship or how problematic it is

newfannish identity makes me very tired

anyway not a fan of people blaming voters

i labelled this a hot take but this is basically the definition of “democracy” so
