I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know how this app works. I’m just here.
Going feral thinking about how we have to pay for the privilege to NOT have to listen to nonstop sales pitches.
"What would your ancestors think of your whole gender thing-" What would YOURS think of being told to buy things every two minutes. I think they would kill CEOs in the streets for being annoying. They were known to do that.
Billionaires will literally send themselves to hell for fun
and they should keep doing it!

Honestly I’ve long enjoyed the idea of Zelda as a heavy-armor, heavy-weapon warrior type build in contrast to light-armor versatile rogue Link and overwhelmingly robed magic-user Ganondorf, but, it actually occurred to me that looking at her tactics in-games, rather than her visual design, she operates like a tank.
The only reason you have peace and time to work with in Breath of the Wild is because Zelda responded to Link being direly injured by drawing Ganon’s attention and fire and then holding a defensive line the entire time. When he slips past those defenses in the form of the blood moon, she warns Link ahead of time.
Twilight Princess Zelda appears to hold out against Ganon somehow until she heals Midna at her own expense. She’s also shown fighting among her own soldiers, and her dress- like that of a lot of different Zelda designs- features armored pauldrons.
In Wind Waker, Tetra’s piloting a huge, heavily-armed galleon compared to Link’s zippy little sailboat. Her advice to facing an opponent while unarmed is “thwart them with your defenses, disarm them, and then pound them with their own weapon” which is not an especially roguelike attitude- especially when you can sniff around and find spare weapons to fight the guard with instead. And during the second raid on Forsaken Fortress, she again, acts like a tank- baits Helmaroc away from Link’s rescue attempt and then comes back to attack Ganon.
Spirit Tracks, which is the closest we’ve come in a ‘canon’ game (not like Hyrule Warriors or Smash Brothers) to directly playable Zelda, has her piloting a Phantom body which is a heavy-armored warrior with a huge sword.
And, yeah- Breath of the Wild Zelda uses magic to hold down Ganon and dresses like a Sacred Maiden rather than a warrior, Twilight Princess Zelda has a slender, delicate thrusting sword rather than a heavy zweihander. Tetra’s a sword-and-pistol pirate. But that feels like furthering a trend of visual design where Zelda is required to be dainty and magical, against a context where that doesn’t seem to be much of her personality.
Entirely outside of “it would be nice to explore Zelda as a fighter in the context of her own narrative”, I feel like it would suit Zelda’s shown qualities a lot more to depict her as more of a paladin build, since she’s depicted as the type to try and take the world on her shoulders, and, often, hold it up, even at great personal effort. That’s a front-line tank’s mentality. Heck, even the Bow of Light in Twilight Princess is a big heavy war bow!
So, just. consider: Paladin Zelda. Managing multi-layer court dresses and full plate armor aren’t that different, right?
Deity who's unacquainted with concept of evolution creating a world with, like, twelve different kinds of creatures, thinking "yes, that's a good number – nice and symmetrical", then going on vacation for a couple million years and being very upset at what's waiting for them when they get back.

Imho the idea of ‘cruelty free’ products or food shouldn’t mean that nothing died to create it, but rather that anything and anyone involved in the creation process hasn’t been exploited or harmed.
Leather is good actually. Veganism isn’t the end all be all to morality and consumption. The issue isn’t that a chicken died for those nuggets, but that while the chicken was alive, it’s life fucking sucked. Vegan chocolate means little if the cocoa that made it was gathered by child slave labor.
Factory farms, abuses of the people who pick the fruit and vegetables we eat, the focus profit and productivity over all else - that’s the fucking issue here. It’s capitalism folks.
Yearly Reminder that C.S Lewis encouraged his fans to write fanfiction about Susan Pevensie becoming a friend to Narnia and reuniting with her family once again.
Literally inviting his fans to write Susan’s adult, angsty character development with a happy ending.
Do your duty fans. Write that fanfiction.
Also a friendly reminder that the reason Susan was no longer a friend of Narnia wasn’t because she was girly and liked lipstick, but because she stopped believing in Narnia due to wanting to seem grown-up. Like the Lewis quote about having a fear of childishness and wanting to be very grown-up, Susan put the appearance of maturity over actual maturity.
When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
The problem with Susan being “interested in nothing nowadays except nylons and lipstick and invitations” isn’t the nylons, lipsticks, and invitations, it’s the being interested in nothing except that. It’s the fact that she stops believing in Narnia and in Aslan.
Nylons, lipsticks, and invitations are more or less just the English version of what she liked back in Narnia in a queen, and she’s always presented as being a good queen. We even meet a similarly girly character in The Horse and His Boy, Lasaraleen, and the story explicitly tells us that the more tomboy-ish Aravis is wrong to belittle Lasaraleen for being girly.
It may also be worth noting that we get the nylons, lipsticks, and invitations quote not from any of Susan’s siblings, but from Jill Pole. Some disdain coming through in the quote would be in character for Jill, who’s young and decidedly a tomboy and not big on “girly” things. The other Pevensies are pretty silent on the matter of Susan- like maybe it’s too painful for them to talk about, or Lewis can’t have them talk about it because the discussion wouldn’t fit well into a children’s book.
Lastly, I think it’s worth mentioning that Susan’s story is the closest to that of Lewis himself. He was raised religious, became an atheist as a teen, and then went back to religion as an adult. And Susan’s name means “lily”- a flower that’s associated with Jesus in real life and with Aslan in Narnia. Her siblings have significant names, so Susan’s name was probably carefully chosen too.
And what flower covers the sea at the uttermost east, closest to Aslan’s country? Lilies.
Finally, someone ELSE who understands the so-called "problem" of Susan. Some good fucking analysis FINALLY. I owe you my LIFE.
we justifiably give Biden a lot of shit but I think "at least 3" is the funniest possible response to some right wing dipshit asking you how many genders there are
