Discord is supposedly saying this is going to affect "only 10% of users", but I really don't believe them at all. It's always going to be way worse and affect more people than what they claim.
So in case anyone needs it:
After Discord announced plans to require age verification for all users, a free, HTML-based tool emerged that aims to bypass facial scans on
Since I’m FINALLY able to publish my fanfic, I’ll be sharing the illustrations here! They will be behind (keep reading) prompts in case people don’t want to be spoiled regarding my story! In any case, here’s the first one:
“Melia didn’t say anything as he picked her up, but she opened her eyes just a tad to look up at him. Her cheeks were flushed, and Shulk quickly realised why when he noticed that her skin felt hotter than usual. She must’ve still had a fever. She was wearing an elegant black nightgown, but despite that, he could see that she’d become a lot frailer…”

The most fantastical and magical place in all of Mira. Between the music, the atmosphere…it made me feel like a little girl again, looking up at the stars and draming about what could be out there. This is the sort of place that I dreamed of, back then.
The prettiest area with the prettiest music. The composer liked the area theme so much he used it in other unrelated songs. It's so surreal and alien. You think it's a Winter Snow Area at first because of all the white and the bells in the music, but it's actually sand and spores and white soot from the neighboring continent. Giant dandelion-like structures pierce the sky while their smaller offspring litter the ground like grass. The strange liquid inside glows at night and can be seen all the way across the map. The Crimson Aurora and Energy Mist are fittingly some of the most striking weather phenomena in the game. What a peak area.
looks really cool, especially with aurora weathers in effect.

I really liked how big and busy this place feels at times. Plus messing around there with my skell and trying to climb to the top before getting flight(or the skell for that matter) was really fun. Great hub area, and I liked how you coukd customize the base area. I do miss having multiple unique shops to go to rather than just a terminal, though.
Everyone knows the story of the Hero of Time. A hundred years ago, he saved Hyrule, our world, from the brink of destruction.
It began when the Great Deku Tree withered. They say that with his final breath, he gave one of his children the ability to grow up.
Link.
With sword in hand, he faced the worst of our fears and slayed the greatest of our foes. The frozen wastes that were once Zora Domain were thawed. The fiery rage of Death Mountain stilled. The eerie whispers from beneath Kakariko went silent. Even the haunted sands of the far desert were quelled.
And with the Dark Lord Ganondorf's fall, peace, at last, was Hyrule's to claim.

Everyone knows the story of the Princess of Destiny. A hundred years ago, she saved Hyrule, our world, from plunging into darkness.
It began when the Great Deku Tree withered. They say that with his final breath, he whispered the words of prophecy on the wind, and she heard it.
Zelda.
Speaking words she could not know to any who would listen to her, from the edge of time, she drew knowledge. Her wisdom, divinely granted, let her stop a war before it even began—and truly, it WAS a war, for the moment Ganondorf's treachery was fully unmasked, he took up arms to claim that which was not his.
And with the Dark Lord Ganondorf's final retreat, peace, at last, was Hyrule's to claim.
-
It's been 100 years since then, give or take a decade.
Hyrule, as we know it, has changed.
For the better?
That remains to be seen—as that story will be penned by a new hand, sword and song taken up once again.
So! The Legend of Zelda: Sword and Song.
The story begins in the peaceful era left behind in the child timeline, when the Hero of Time was able to warn his princess about what would happen if he got the stones. OoT Zelda then did everything she could to obfuscate the locations of the relics needed to claim the Triforce, and ousted Ganondorf from her kingdom.
Link begins as a rancher at Lon Lon, with a basic sword to beat back stalchildren and keese. You do some farm chores, clear out nighttime monster stragglers hiding in a nearby cave, go riding with Epona, and then horse-race your childhood friend, Malon, around the field. Life is good.
You have a dream that night, about the ranch being on fire and a man on a black horse holding up Malon by the throat.
You have to make a delivery run to Castle Town, first appearance of the Princess Zelda of the time—she catches your eye, and stares at you, like she's seen you before.
You have free run of the town after her precession takes her back to the palace. Some goofy minigame fun, gotta win a shield for Malon, etc. In the midst of it, you hear something calling to you, leading you towards the Temple of Time. It seems to be calling you from within the door, but you don't get a chance to try and open it; as soon as you inspect it, Malon catches up, admonishes you for running off without her, and pulls you back. Day ends there.
More dreams that night. About a golden power, in the middle of a sunset isle, about drawing the Master Sword from her pedestal, about a shadow falling over you-
You wake up in the middle of the night. It's raining. But you hear the thing calling you again. So you take Epona, fight your way across the field, sneak past the guards of the town and over the walls, and get to the Temple of Time; the door is open, even WITHOUT the stones, and you can see the sword glimmering from beyond. It SINGS, blade glowing, as you near it.
And then you're caught.
Princess Zelda knew you'd be here. She has you arrested. She says she's very sorry, and she wishes she didn't have to do this to you. But you're thrown in the dungeon. (To herself, she mutters that she wishes the guard captain were here to handle this)
Unbeknownst to her, you were followed out of that room by a blue fairy, who helps you escape.
The two of you manage to get outside of the castle walls, but can't get back in, so you head home—except, in the distance, Lon Lon Ranch is on fire. So you speed back over, and see the main antagonist holding Malon aloft, demanding to know where YOU are.
I'm calling him Ganhim. He's a swordsman, and a good one—the captain of the guard, and the reason the watch at the town was lackluster enough for you to get through. You try to fight him so that Malon can escape, but you lose, handily, and the fairy that helped you before uses all of her power to teleport you back to the sword. You draw it-
-and are suddenly transported to a ruined temple, overgrown with greenery. The only one to come with you is Navi.
Welcome to the Adult timeline's Hyrule, scarred by the aftermath of OoT Ganon.
Good luck getting back.

All the people reblogging the plant poll from me like "yes I'm great at plants I've had this one for three years" and meanwhile I'm over here and the majority of my plants are over 10 and a like at least 4 are over 15 so here have a poll. I have a Christmas cactus, currently blooming, that's a cut of a friend's that I got 21 years ago, hers was from a cut of her parents, idek when the parents was from, that plant is probably 40 at least but even just my cutting is old enough to vote.
