I do genuinely believe that the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (and arguably the Zelda franchise as a whole, though i myself have played literally none of these games) is closer to fitting the description of ‘Tolkien-esque Fantasy’ than most other movies/shows/games/books etc that claim that label

Like, compare this post by tumblr user wufflesvetinari, which makes an important point about Tolkien’s worldbuilding, and also lives in my head rent free:

and then these quotes from Jacob Geller’s “Every Zelda is the Darkest Zelda”

and his conclusions about the messages in Zelda games are thematically very similar to the through-lines about friendship and love in LOTR, and what a lot of authors miss about what makes a fantasy story personal and memorable:

“A world without joy and humor isn’t a compelling world to fight for” is exactly why there are so many pieces of fantasy media out there that just feel like carbon copies of each other (i’ve seen many posts that explain this better than I can though I can’t find any specific ones at the moment, just know that I didn’t invent this thesis). You’ve got the cool swords, you’ve got the wizards and the spells and the battles, but first and foremost you need the LOVE.

isn’t there a goddess out here willing to turn me into medusa so men can’t look at me without immediately suffering the consequences

[crazyintheeast]

Stop being lazy and relying on gods. Quick dry cement exists. Be your own Medusa

me: there are no ‘rules’ for fantasy, and that’s the beautiful thing about it. sure there are staples of the genre, but a creator shouldn’t feel bound by them. the only limits are your imagination!

fantasy game: the health potions aren’t red.

me: you lost me.

Happy Crankin’ Cruz Day everyone!

horses are terrible. they’re buff and smoove and i hate looking at and seeing them

[devilishdescent]

they’re like big hard dogs with no soul and awful homunculus teeth. miss me with that shit

[devilishdescent]

yesterday someone told me horses “have friendly faces” and that’s the least human opinion ive ever heard

[devilishdescent]

horses look like if a race of men were twisted into animals for profaning a dark and nameless god in a time before time
