this beautiful, ice cold, mana potion looking water
the crazy thing about the sages in totk and their connections to the champions in botw to me is this: if the events of totk had happened 100 years ago, the champions would have been the sages. they have the sages' powers passed down by blood, and their descendants use the same powers throughout the game. all of them are related to the sages--
except Revali.
he's just some guy!! all of the other champions have their powers because they're descendants of the sages. but Tulin is the sage of wind and to my knowledge he isn't related to Revali at all. revali is the only one that has no special powers, only his own skills. the fact that teba and tulin exist implies that the actual descendant of the sage of wind had to be present when the hylians came looking for a rito champion, and revali took that guy's job. Imagine having the power to literally control the wind but even w that you're just not fucking good enough to compete with Revali 'I have to be the best at everything or I'll go nuclear' of the Rito for the title of champion. if all of the champions had survived the calamity and were there to help Link in totk, they would all be the ones with the secret stones taking up the mantle of sage. except Revali, who would just be some guy still hanging around losing his mind bc for the second time in his life an actual child is being given a position that he thinks he's much better suited for. it's a good thing he didn't make it honestly I don't think he'd take it well.
#totk spoilers#aww my poor birb#forgotten by everyone#also I’m sorry building death machines is cool and all#but the whole sages descendants etc thing… feels like bullshit to me#blah blah lineage blah blah destiny#it feels lazy to me and I don’t like it :(#I feel like this is a fandom where I’ll just be reading botw fix-its again
Behold the size diff of my cats!
Revali as a character is so powerful because like. He’s this badass warrior. He’s also the most annoying person you’ll ever meet. No other Rito has come close to his mastery of flight and archery. He’s a total show off about it. He’s the only champion without any divine gifts and has earned his place amongst the champions entirely off his own merits. He’s beefing with a 5”2 blonde bitch. He is under so much pressure to be the best that he is willing to repeatedly injure himself to achieve an unattainable level of perfection. He’s a walking talking gay disaster of a man. He is constantly bragging about his feats as a warrior so that he doesn’t get overlooked as the only champion without any magical abilities. He’s physically incapable of shutting the fuck up. He cares so much about what others think of him, and the only thing he wants is to be acknowledged for his hard work and skills. His idea of armour is a tiny skirt and a scarf.
Revali really is the character ever.
totk should have been about reviving the champions and then finding the secret fifth divine beast that link & zelda pilot together in order to create an overpowered sheikah voltron and then they battle against ganondorf's demise voltron to save hyrule
Reblog if your tumblr url is the same one you started with.
This is a serious thing. Im curious how many people over the course of year(s) kept the same tumblr handle. A ton of the people I follow have changed their over time.
As far as I know Im one of the few who havent. Few being relative as there are millions of tumblr users. But yeah.
Social experiment.

I want fish wife, I want mom friend, I want potato friend, I want the egotistical prick. Where are they, nintendo, where are my homies.
Not to sound like a fuckin hippie but please for the love of god start noticing and appreciating the natural world around you. You don’t have to go hike the entire Appalachian trail or anything and I get that not everyone has access to the outdoors for various reasons, but just fucking … look around you when you’re outside. Notice the sky and the sun and the birds and creatures. Start caring about them. I’m begging you.
I know ppl go wild for king/knight and king/jester relationship dynamics on this website but I do want to pitch: knight/jester. Loyal warrior who's not been known to suffer fools and the fool who wants nothing more than to be suffered by them, working under the same leige. Think about it and get back to me
yesssssss the sunshine one and the grumpy one

This pride month y’all have got to offset your doomposting with some gay fun you’ve had. And if you haven’t had any gay fun then you need to stop doomposting and work on that. I know we’re descending into fascism and there’s always kink at pride discourse and threats of violence and actual violence and hollow corporate allyship. But I only have so much room for that in my brain. I want to hear about the party you went to or the guy you met at the bar or the girl who strapped you within an inch of your life or hell the new clothes you bought. I as a gay person on the gay people website should NOT have to dread the gay month
As someone who is unrepentantly ~wild and zany~ it feels strange to admit that being stereotyped as ~wild and zany~ is a major insecurity. It always made me feel like shit when I was younger and my social groups would assign each other archetypal roles or character associations and I would indelibly be pigeonholed as The Kooky One. It wasn’t that I was offended to be perceived as eccentric—it just felt like, in Pip’s words, other people assigned their own inability to or disinterest in understanding me as a static trait that I possess.
I know full well that I’m weird, often flamboyantly so, and in such a way that I can be extremely offputting to people with more restrained personalities. But I have interiority! I have depth of feeling! I still value the regard of others! It stings to realize that someone is not willing to even attempt to reciprocate empathy because their perception of me is flattened into a caricature of impenetrable kookiness.
Like yeah man I can see why I annoy the shit out of you but if impulsive Dracula impressions, some odd statements, and moonwalking down the IKEA lighting aisle are all it takes for you to stop seeing someone as fully human or deserving of basic respect, I think maybe we both have insufferable personalities.
To be clear, I don’t mean this in an ableism way—I don’t NOT mean it in an ableism way, but also I resent the implication that odd behavior must be explained by diagnosable medical conditions before those displaying it are deserving of empathy. Just a pet peeve in the way we talk about neurodivergence on this webbed site.
oh hey, you made it be words.

best advice i ever got as a writer was to pick a hobby that i hated more than writing and stick with it. i’m a runner now and it’s miserable and i Hate It and writing is so lovely in comparison. bonus: i’m in excellent shape and running gives you a lot of time to think about writing. i’ve solved a lot of plot complications while running.
This is such funny advice. Writing is so excruciating, you gotta take up Self Torture so that writing feels like a fun little break 😭
