zelda fans love writing novelizations of “Shelter From the Rain” and completely missing the blatant trans subtext

« I’m not sure Link being a child is relevant though since Link would have been a child at some point in all timelines. »

« The Hylian text on all these Books reads the same thing: "April First. Today was a shy hot and sunny day. I went to school. This diary is a very important document. April Second. Yesterday was Fool's day. Everything that I wrote was false. That is all. See you tomorrow" »

am i going to have to learn classical hebrew for this

contemplating just publishing a working Zelda lore piece on AO3

eventually you reach a time in your life when you realize that people born a decade after you are adults now, and that's horrifying

but then you look the other way, at the people born a decade BEFORE you, and they're ALL MILFS

#DecRecs i mentioned this one in a conversation on Lex so now i have to rec it here

1970s trans lesbian murder-mystery, plus pokémon https://archiveofourown.org/works/20822714

thankful that Zeldapedia is independent now so that i can add it to the quick searches on my homepage

ah i’m going to need at least a little bit of explicitness in this zelink in order to get this fragment i wanted in in there

if you were born between 1992 and 1998 and are not aware of one of the largest and most notable (not praise) Harry Potter fanfics in existence, second only to My Immortal, you hung out with the wrong friends

« If you are a normal, decent, well-socialized human being, you probably have not heard about Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. » oh please come on

uhhh

i have a very solid structural requirement in my notes for this chapter but the plot requirement is just “???”

“trans-coded protagonist”

“trans protagonist”

The GlitchCat #SundayPost offers news and updates from our corner of the fediverse to yours.

§ Instance News :—

• A lot of people on this instance have been participating in #DecRecs, a hashtag for recommending whatever you want to recommend in the month of December. I’ve been using it mostly as an excuse to reshare some of my old fanfiction bookmarks, but you can rec anything you like!

§ From Our Users :—

• @Lady had a p·r which was recently merged to GlitchSoc. This is a slightly revised version of code which we’ve been rolling here on GlitchCat for some time; at some point I will need to port over the changes.

§ Holidays and Observances :—

• 🥾 December 05 is Clauseen, the final day of Hallowtide in the KIBI calendar.

• 🧑‍🎄 December 06 is Clausmas, a·k·a Sinterklaas Day or the Feast of St Nicholas. Basically nothing is known about St Nicholas, and this day epitomizes the KIBI practice of using fictitious or legendary saints’ days to reappropriate Catholic/Christian traditions away from their religious underpinnings (in this case, Christmas; compare St Valentine). In this case, the recentring on 06 December is especially apt, as Saint Nicholas is actually the template from which we got a lot of our (quasi‐secular) Christmas traditions from, e·g Santa Claus. My take? Celebrate Santa on Santa’s day and leave Christmas in the dust.

• December 06 also marks the beginning of Yuletide, a·k·a “the holiday season”.

• 🕊 December 10 is Nobelmas, also known as Alfred Nobel Day or, per the United Nations, Human Rights Day. If ever you wanted a day to celebrate peace on earth and goodwill to men, this is a great day for it.

this is thematic’ly and artistic’ly significant in the context of the fic so i might actually do it

what if i trolled zelink fans by publishing an explicit zelink fic but the only explicit part was untagged lesbian smut

#DecRecs i never played much of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn because i wanted to beat Path of Radiance first and look i never did that either

so suffice to say i have no idea who the characters in this fanfic are or what their significance is

doesn't matter. still one of the best casual lesbian sex oneshots i've read https://archiveofourown.org/works/17326742

i wish this writer a very let your queer people be problems and learn how people who aren't straight have sex

is this zelink writer who just intimated zelda might be trans before dropping that thought for some very straight sex the same one who wrote link as maybe nonbinary but not in a way which has any meaningful consequence except zelda gets to dress him up in cuter clothes in that other fic
