Zelda: No matter how hard I try, no matter how hard I pray, the spirits and the goddess Hylia do not speak to me even though it is supposedly my birthright. I have been trying so hard. The world hangs in the balance and yet somehow I just can’t do it.
Link: Yo Hylia what’s up?
Hylia: Oh hey Link you’re awake what do you need my dude?
Link: More stamina plz.
Zelda: I can’t hear the spirits or the master sword anymore but I think I’m okay with that.
Link: She can’t hear you? I thought everyone could.
The master sword: Shhh. Let her have this moment.
Zelda: Why is it pulsing again? What’s it saying?
Link: *shrugs*
Random traveler: Excuse me Sir Link but why are you strapping rockets to a sled?
Link: Korok’s late to his camping trip.
Traveler: A… Korok? Like a tree spirit?
Link: Yeah. Adorable but the idiots can’t do anything themselves.
Traveler: Did you just…
Link: Yeah yeah talk bad about sacred spirits whatever anyways, off you go. *releases the rocket*
Korok: AAAAHHHH! Oof. There’s my friend!
Link: Hole in one!
Traveler: …
Rhondson: Sav’aaq. I heard you had a goddess statue installed in your home. Didn’t take you for the religious type.
Link: Oh I’m not.
Rhondson: Why then, if you don’t mind me asking?
Link: Well it’s the quickest way to get her to call me back. I need more heart containers.
Rhondson: Heart… what?
Link: …
Rhondson: You are the strangest voe I’ve ever met and I’m married to Hudson.
Link: *thumbs up*
Having some thoughts about like, how "women" playing with masculinity is only acceptable insofar as straight (cis) men find it sexually appealing and how the idea that transmascs (and butches) reaffirm patriarchy (by being "women" who emulate masculinity) is borne like, entirely out of people not talking to any genuinely masc women or non-passing trans men.
like legit, if you think masculine women aren't seen as a threat to the patriarchy, then you've got your head so far up your own ass that you've come back up the throat again.
every time ppl insist that masculine women are taken more seriously, i tell them about when i stopped wearing makeup, cut my hair short, and started wearing more masculine clothing and how that change caused an abrupt shift in the way people at my old office treated me. the women went from being open and friendly with me to being very standoffish. the men went from treating me like a silly woman to treating me like a freak. people no longer wanted to stop by my office and talk to me. they didn’t want to eat lunch with me. they stopped giving me the benefit of the doubt if i made a mistake. they stopped smiling at me. and then the office found out i was trans while i was off work recovering from top surgery, they passed around social media posts and when i got back and people saw my flat chest they looked at me with such utter disgust. they treated me so poorly that i was forced to quit within a week of getting back.
so when ppl insist that anyone performing masculinity is automatically treated with more respect, it just feels. weird.
Does anyone remember what happened to Radio Shack?
They started out selling niche electronics supplies. Capacitors and transformers and shit. This was never the most popular thing, but they had an audience, one that they had a real lock on. No one else was doing that, so all the electronics geeks had to go to them, back in the days before online ordering. They branched out into other electronics too, but kept doing the electronic components.
Eventually they realize that they are making more money selling cell phones and remote control cars than they were with those electronic components. After all, everyone needs a cellphone and some electronic toys, but how many people need a multimeter and some resistors?
So they pivoted, and started only selling that stuff. All cellphones, all remote control cars, stop wasting store space on this niche shit.
And then Walmart and Target and Circuit City and Best Buy ate their lunch. Those companies were already running big stores that sold cellphones and remote control cars, and they had more leverage to get lower prices and selling more stuff meant they had more reasons to go in there, and they couldn't compete. Without the niche electronics stuff that had been their core brand, there was no reason to go to their stores. Everything they sold, you could get elsewhere, and almost always for cheaper, and probably you could buy 5 other things you needed while you were there, stuff Radio Shack didn't sell.
And Radio Shack is gone now. They had a small but loyal customer base that they were never going to lose, but they decided to switch to a bigger but more fickle customer base, one that would go somewhere else for convenience or a bargain. Rather than stick with what they were great at (and only they could do), they switched to something they were only okay at... putting them in a bigger pond with a lot of bigger fish who promptly out-competed them.
If Radio Shack had stayed with their core audience, who knows what would have happened? Maybe they wouldn't have made a billion dollars, but maybe they would still be around, still serving that community, still getting by. They may have had a small audience, but they had basically no competition for that audience. But yeah, we only know for sure what would happen if they decided to attempt to go more mainstream: They fail and die. We know for sure because that's what they did.
I don't know why I keep thinking about the story of what happened to Radio Shack. It just keeps feeling relevant for some reason.

Many people say stuff about you. Like how you are sensative, annoying, an idiot, or just straight up bad person. How do you feel about that?
I’m fascinated by the fantasy races in Zelda games.
Zora are sexy fish people but actually fish like actually fish like buddy this is a fish person
Gerudo are very tall and all women because their room is no boys allowed
Gorons are all rock men because you just can’t tell the difference between the sexes and the gorons don’t care. Their main characteristic seems to be that they eat rocks and just like hanging out
The minish are just tiny dudes living in a different dimension and possibly magic idk
Koroks used to be Peter Pan style childish elf people until one day they decided to be trees instead
Rito are bird guys. Like wow that’s a bird person. They can fly. People in universe don’t know how people their size can fly but they do it anyways because they don’t care about physics.
Zonai are like idk goat demigods that like jumping off of cliffs into lakes or something. I’ve got a working theory that this is why they’re all dead.
Hyleans. Are they humans? Are they elf people? Depends on which game you’re playing. They do have long ears. They’re pretty squishy and easy to knock over but some of them are magic I guess. For some reason they seem to be in charge of most things. They seem to be willing to copulate with all of the other races
The gods don’t do much honestly. One of them seems to have a pet blonde swordsman and princess combo that she likes to reuse a lot to get her errands done for her so that’s cool I guess
Oh I’m familiar
