Maybe I’m just a hater but how come the live action Minecraft movie is gonna be about modern day kids going to Minecraft world making cynical quips and one liners and memes and not the melancholic loneliness of Steve in a damaged but recovering world

Lilacs for Alana

Alana with lilacs by @seaglassmelody - I love this portrait!

Lilacs are very significant to Alana, and maybe one day we'll find out why...

Sometimes I think about how in wind waker the special green hat and tunic and such link is wearing is special clothes for his one birthday. It’s like the Zelda equivalent of going on your magical epic world saving destiny quest in your quinceañera dress

“Overpowered” is a contextual adjective.

Not only in the “there’s always a bigger fish” sort of sense, although that can apply as well, but I mean like. Power is contextual. If you have a character who can win any battle, they may find themself out of their depth when it comes to interpersonal, verbal conflict or negotiations, or vice versa. A comically overpowered character can still face challenges that aren’t power creep, if you open your mind.

What frustrates me to no end is that while there are fewer and fewer avenues for the average person to express sex and sexuality, advertising is not remotely facing the choking effect that we are. If anything, advertising is only getting more sexual; you will be censored and potentially banned for simply screenshotting and posting about an advertisement on the platform. YOU aren’t allowed to talk about sex, it can only be marketed to you. It can only be treated as something you MIGHT graze against if you just buy one more product. Desire between humans is unsafe for children to witness, but Sears can sell a facsimile on either side of their back to school sale. Anyone on the street could be a rapist or murder you have to avoid at all costs, but Hersheys has everything you want, just ask! That connection, ANY connection, between people is being insidiously supplanted by corporations one by one. The human experience has been declared explicit

I’ve gotta hand it to Bujold for looking at “so misogynistic it loops back around to being gay” trends in popular writing, and then doing that on purpose in Ethan of Athos so she could dissect the matter like an owl pellet. It’s not a metatextual issue it’s a very explicit character flaw of the protagonist that he has to work through and overcome if he wants to get anything done
