nintendo is allowed to age up their characters for horny reasons but they pulled it off a lot better with purah is all i’m saying

nintendo: we want riju to be hot but she was a child in the last game, how do we fix this
nintendo: let’s just say gerudo grow really fast

i’m giving this fanfic an intentionally complicated history so it will be impossible to tell which parts actually happened, which are interventions on the part of hylia, which are interventions on the part of a certain zelda, which were added to drum up sales…

me: gaepora is large and looks like an owl. consequently, people liked to call him “big bird”

you, four chapters later when the realization hits:

in all fairness this is a fanfic about zelda which doesn’t even introduce her until like the fourth chapter so realistically it’s gonna bomb no matter what i do

i keep being like “okay, this is enough, let’s keep it simple” and then i reread it and NO it is NOT enough i need to take it slower and dig into more detail

working on this fanfic is difficult because i fundamentally do not trust your average reader in 2024 to be patient enough for the very cool important things i am trying to do in the first handful of paragraphs

it¦s very annoying to me that Rhoam Bosphoramus is clearly Hellenic at a time when I feel like Hyrule ought to have switched to vernacular Latin but i am just choosing to believe that he is very oldfashioned

hmm i would like to write a zelda fanfic

middle earth was neither a utopia nor a dystopia but merely a historic age which preceded this one, full of people who looked to the future with equal parts hope and despair

ah yes, famed middle eastern country, The United States

in fairness the reason we have to call it “Latin” is because “Roman” contrasts with “Italic”

wikipedia talk pages are FULL of pedants convinced that “the Latin alphabet” means not “the system of letters spread by the Romans and adopted widely across Europe and other regions” but, specifically, “the system of letters used to write the Latin language”

« I am skeptical about the assertion that this is "a letter of the Latin alphabet". Since when did Latin ever have pharyngeals? Or voiced fricatives for that matter? Unless I am very badly misinformed, someone must have added (or proposed adding) this letter at some later point in time for some purpose entirely unrelated to Latin. »

ppl complain about the industry pushing artists to write songs which are more tiktok-friendly or whatever, as tho it’s a sign of how bad music is these days, but dawg, in 2003 they added a male rapper to “Bring Me To Life”

RTF

i don’t actually think it’s necessary that every person share the same story of what happened, or that any of those stories actually be objectively true

“how many levels of Make are you on right now” <https://git.ladys.computer/Shushe/commitdiff/7ae7c33964113408bd8cdee445d90f8057159515>

okay but surely one of the reasons why there are so many similarities between the internet of today and the internet of the 90’s is because the 90’s weren’t that long ago

there’s no way an actual engineer wrote this blog post right
