Someone left a real nice comment on my oldest fic and now I'm filled with a burning desire to get the next chapter up, despite it having been 4 years since the last update. Which... RIP to my other dozen wips and also RIP to me, because there's no way i'm not doing a full editing pass on the entire fic before uploading a new chapter.
I have an idea in my head for a t4t Zelink AU where, upon realizing they're both trans, instead of either of them coming out, they just switch places. Like, Link becomes Princess Zelda and Zelda becomes Link, Swordman of Legend. Except, of course, Link's real bad at being a monarch and Zelda is not the best with a sword but they make it work, because Link is incredibly personable and Zelda's destructive capabilities would only be help back by a sword.
So when Ganon finally shows up in this AU he's completely taken off guard when the princess, instead of engaging in a magical duel just charges at him with whatever the closest weapon happens to be, in this case, a steel chair (aka the royal throne) and when Ganon goes "okay at least I know that Links going to sword duel me" he's in no way ready for "hey I spent a gap year becoming a ninja and also built a laser canon"
#the legend of zelda#zelink#trans zelda#trans link#look i just think Link should be a princess#and Zelda should be allowed to persue their interests without a pos father breathing down her neck#Ganon getting completely blindsided is just a funny bonus#also#Impa is both the only one to notice when they do their swap#and the one passing them the good shit (sheikah hrt)
So I know by know that some people have to... straight up finished their first play-through of Tears of the Kingdom given it's een out for... four days. And having only just finished the Great Sky Island, and wanting to avoid spoilers it would incredibly stupid of me to look in any of the remotely adjacent tumblr tags rn. However... that Rauru... he tempts me
There's something deeply funny about Zelda's whole "he's given up reincarnation" bit from the end of BotW in the context of me finishing a playthrough right now.
Like yes Zelda this is totally the final all chips are down battle against ultimate evil. Ganon's totally not coming back in about five minutes when I boot up Tears of the Kingdom
Screams in trial of the sword master mode.
Actually, screw this. I'm just gonna finish the Tarry Town quest and then go punch ganon in the face. Trail of the Sword can wait until the next time i feel like slamming my head against a brick wall.
Everyone else: Having fun with Tears of the Kingdom
Me: Screaming and crying as The Trail of the Sword keeps making my idea of "oh I'll just finish that full dlc Master Mode playthrough in the week before the new game comes out" seem incredibly naive.
#the legend of zelda#breath of the wild#tears of the kingdom#and I thought waterblight ganon was#weirdly#the hardest boss#nope it's apparently fighting a bunch of normal enemies shirtless with a rusty polearm#funnily enough the eventide island shrine on this playthrough was real easy for me#so i guess i'm being punished for my hubris#and or not doing my writing
The Champion's Ballad Master Mode Waterblight Ganon rematch can go straight to hell
the “bad guys” in hallmark movies end up always being the most respectful men ever.
because they will find out their girlfriend of 3 years (that they were about to propose to) went off to a random farm in minnesota, hours away from were the two of them built a life together, and she decided to just… stay there without even consulting him.
and then he decides to take a trip to make sure she’s okay, because this is generally alarming behavior, and then sees that she literally fell in love with her ex within one (1) week- and he wasn’t there, but you can TELL that they’ve made out a couple times.
and then she just strings him along for a few days, until fucking christmas eve, when she just breaks up with him and is like “i know we used to have the same values, but i’ve never loved you. mark makes me happier than you ever did. and you ONLY care about work, whereas i like christmas and fun, like a Good Person.”
and then, after finding out his entire relationship was a lie and he had his life turned upside down in a week and he got dumped on christmas, this guy’s just like “ok yeah that makes sense. i only wish you the best of happiness with mark. i hope you guys build a great life together in christmastreefarmville. thank you for everything.”
An AU where two Hallmark Christmas Bad Guys are both getting flights back to New York after being dumped by their respective Smalltown Blonde Girlfriends, and they bond over their shared experiences and fall in love in the departures lounge
@teashoesandhair your wish is my command :)
Probably, Levi should be more upset.
Probably he is still in shock. Right? He looks out of his taxi window (it's not technically a taxi, just some guy named Corey who offered him a ride to the airport, because Uber doesn't operate in fucking Tinyville, Bumfuck Middle-Of-Nowhere, Utah) and tracks water droplets racing each other down the glass, because of course it's raining, and his bad knee is killing him.
Levi sniffs and rubs at his eyes and then pulls out his phone and books a ticket back to New York, wincing as four hundred and twenty-six dollars are deducted from his bank account.
And, like, he should definitely be more upset.
He just got broken up with. He was engaged, for God's sake. A four-year relationship… over. Just like that.
Corey says, "Ten minutes to the station."
Lion dancers practicing out of costume
There is not a single person on this earth that I trust enough to do that with even if I was capable
I am BEGGING people to look up competitive lion dancing. It is one of the most playful and intense forms of dancing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Should go without saying but never date a cop and christ never marry one. Rule of thumb if he's legally untouchable he's ethically unfuckable. You don't like that cop, you like buff men in tight clothing. I can show you more of those, better ones. Take my hand.

Le Figaro have a newly published photograph from inside Notre Dame shortly before the roof collapsed, as molten lead fell into the nave. (+)
This is what I love about photojournalism. It is just a history of moments where human beings have gone “I know I should really be hauling ass out of here but I have to get a picture of this”
When I was running out the door in our house after I accidentally set the kitchen on fire I could see the smoke rolling along the hall ceiling and it was so beautiful I genuinely had to fight the urge to stop and pull my phone out to take a photo.
Unrelatedly, bet the photographer is pissed about the out-of-focus votive candle shelf bottom right.

gaslighting someone by saying they're too smart to be gaslit so you're not gaslighting them

I guess since we're getting into the last quarter of the year, it's time for me to start reminding everyone that Letters from Watson begins January 1st 2023!
Inspired by Mark Kirkland’s excellent Dracula Daily, Letters from Watson will let you read through the entirety of the Sherlock Holmes short stories over the course of one year via bitesize emails from your good friend Dr Watson.
At the time of writing there are already nearly 6000 people signed up ready to enjoy these stories!
But if you can't wait until then, there is also a really nice active discord server where we chat, watch movies together and play games! It's also packed full of Sherlockian resources. Feel free to come in and say hi, or just lurk - either is great!
The Game will be Afoot!
I am VERY interested to see whose interpretation is taken as the "canon" order of story events.
But TL:DR, There is no 'canon' order of story events.
