I was shocked when the Detective Conan (名探偵コナン) characters showed up in Star Detective Pretty Cure (名探偵プリキュア！), and then it was fun to tune into the other side of the crossover from the Conan side. Unfortunately, it did remind me that I don't really love the designs/animation of Conan, but it was still cool to see Cure Answer in a different style. Speaking of which, I wonder why they decided to only feature Cure Answer instead of both of the protagonists from Star Detective Pretty Cure.

“The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?”

reblog if you wear glasses. too many mutuals don't know they have glasses wearers in their midsts

[what-even-is-thiss]

No I’m not attracted to you. Quit your evil putting your finger under my chin to make me look up at you. I know I’m your nemesis and all but we really need to set some boundaries when you’ve got me tied up like this.

[what-even-is-thiss]

No look I get it. You’ve got your evil plan, you’ve gotta get me out of the way but you also want to see me suffer as I watch the world burn, I know. But like, I’m not into this. Sexually or otherwise. Wait, you thought I was doing this because I liked you? I’m trying to stop you from using a death laser. No I don’t think death lasers are sexy what on earth are you talking about

[what-even-is-thiss]

Wait. That’s why you dress like that? I thought that armor was impractical. No I don’t find our relationship to be homoerotic I find it to be tedious. Look, man. We all keep trying to get you into therapy. No I’m not kink shaming you I’m saying you’ve completely misinterpreted this relationship. I actually do think you should answer for your war crimes. Yes, really. No you’re the one not listening to me in this situation. Yes that is the alarm the others will have cut all your wires and called in the fbi by now.

[what-even-is-thiss]

What do you mean you thought we had something special? I have other enemies. You’re not the only one. No I’m not doing kinky things with them either I blow up their nefarious devices. Speaking of which, you might want to move like… ten feet to your right.

[what-even-is-thiss]

No, enemies to enemies. And then still enemies.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Cannot stress enough how lovers will never be part of this equation even a little bit

[yellowhollyhock]

The henchmen in the tags who have been assuring the villain since the beginning that “of course he likes you back, why else would he keep coming to destroy your death lasers”

[what-even-is-thiss]

The henchmen have been reading too many romance novels.

[xxshadowcasterxx]

Awfully defensive are we? I think the henchmen are onto something.

[what-even-is-thiss]

You know I didn’t intend for this character I made up to be aromantic but this whole post has turned into being arospec at a family reunion simulator

Heroes like the Hero of Legend need to be put in dungeons for enrichment

Look how happy he is!

Please do not forget to set your Hero of Legend loose in a dungeon on occasion, it's good for his mental health <3 (even better if you set him loose with his emotional support hero)

The Legend of Zelda: Sword and Song

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.

(You'll need to find out what happened to the Ocarina of Time to do that.)

omg did you guys hear the latest announcement

[ezdotjpg]

starting to feel like maybe a culture of nostalgia is uh. bad. and makes bad art

[link-is-a-dork]

Ehhhhhhmmmmmm. Ahhhbmmmm.... idk man I'll have to actually see it

[link-is-a-dork]

Gonna bitch a little

Like is this really what we want a Zelda game to look like? It isnt BAD, but I'm just not vibing with it.

I'm gonna be part of the problem and buy it but my expectations with Zelda are getting lower every release. I really don't know how I feel about this, but it's definitely its own look. At least the other iterations exist. If you're excited that's awesome, I'm just wary.

[mermain123]

i was also really put off by the art style

but i'd have to see how it looks in action

[doodlesaur-central]

Soooo.... Ocarina of Time getting a remake for the 2nd time. How are we feeling? 😅

Did Link look uncanny to anyone else? I am really curious about it but I need to see more to really say if I'm sold on the art. I don't think Zelda's even been this hyper-realistic before! Which I think is great to experiment with at least once, every game is unique, I just hope we still return to some more stylized things later down the line. EoW was really pretty and cute so I haven't lost all hope, haha.

That said! THE TAPESTRY was really pretty!!! And the MUSIC!!! AAA!
