Hears “One Summer Day” from Spirited Away for the first time in a while and just realized how Tears of the Kingdom pretty much reused the first few seconds of that song.

Suddenly realizing that lightsaber colors kinda correspond to Triforce attributes / associations.

Just saw an ad for dice with a weighted, fantasy (dragon) eyeball inside a liquid core, so no matter how the die lands, the eye will face upward.

Someone make BotW malice eye set, please.

I had lofty plans of attempting a Ganuary writing challenge for myself, but I’m about 1/3rd of the way through an absolutely ridiculous winter break project that I would love to complete before I go back to work next week.

True Confession: Every time I hear about or see the board game “Dorfromantik,” I must stifle a fangirly giggle.

Doing research for a fanfic and I’m delighted by BotW Reddit suggestions for foraging plants and critters that read like a group of local fisherfolk suggesting good spots to drop a line.

“I’ve had really good luck at night in the woods to the east. Just drink a stealth potion or wear your Sheikah armor, and go for a stroll right after sundown. You’ll walk away with 20 beetles before sunrise, easy.”

Today I learned about the existence of the 2009 Legend of Zelda game, “Ripened Tingle’s Balloon Trip of Love.”

So… OoT Ganondorf’s ghostly clone is known as Phantom Ganon.

Tertiary sources have claimed that OoT Ganondorf’s horse is named Phantom.

OoT Phantom Ganon rides on a cloned warhorse.

Does that mean that Phantom Ganon’s horse is called Phantom Phantom?

Something something post-timeskip OoT Ganondorf’s big brooding vampire energy. Mostly wears dark colors. Carefully tailored appearance. Sideburns like a Regency nobleman. Fondness for large gems set into statement jewelry. Dark nail polish. Long, scarlet, tasseled capes. Reclusive. Aloof yet carries a ton of dramatic flair. Plays the pipe organ. Treated himself to a Gothic castle, complete with ornate stained glass windows. Commands hordes of creatures. Charismatic in his own way. Enormously powerful. Student of and adept with several different kinds of magic. Has a complex relationship with the divine.

Something something how Ganondorf lifted the castle on TotK over a chasm of malice echoes Ganon’s Tower hovering over a lava pit in OoT.

The shorter days are making me want to write self-indulgent fanfic.

[giriduck]

Something something how after the Calamity was defeated long ago, the Divine Beasts and army of guardians were buried by the Royal Family of Hyrule. Underground. Where Ganondorf’s malice was incubating since time immemorial. Where the machines would be far more accessible to leech into, research, corrupt, and reanimate.

Going through drafts of posts and finding a long list of incomprehensible partial thoughts that I had started but had to step away from after typing in maybe three words in and now I have no idea what any of it meant.

You can see how as the years progress I become stupider in the head
