can next week come any sooner... i wanna watch that scene between them so bad!!! the real nox seems so much gentler compared to the premonition too.. you can tell he was baku's teacher once huh(🤤). also i'm excited about the shadow nightmare being back it's my favorite nightmare(unbiased)! and baku will beat it again.. hehe
wow woow you can tell nox doesn't want to fight baku right.. i'm not crazy. i'm so glad they actually spoke to each other this episode i can eat again... baku's guilt is good
he says this in such a gentle(?) way.. so i'm really sure exactly how he feels... shock obviously but maybe it's like. that baku was the one who killed him in particular? (feels kinda delusional...)
The definitely already finished heated rivalry right? Do you think they filmed them all and will release them slowly? Or will do a sum up/highlights reaction of all of them at once? Or what if, terrifying thought, they saved just ep 6 to react to?
I just don't think they will actually draw out their own viewing for 6 weeks, and I don't think they are even posting a philm club every week, but they know the audience wants more, so what are they gonna do?
great question actually. I can't see them releasing five more full-length videos reacting only to HR, because not everyone is going to want or enjoy that. maybe two more videos - one where they react to 2 episodes and another where they react to 3. kind of like they did with the pinof reacts
the fact that if you’re in the northeast corner of the map in rdr2 (where the murfrees are), and you make a camp nearby a scripted murfree event, one of them will come up to you and attack you is so fucking annoying. i’ve reloaded multiple saves cuz of this. i’ve actually never gotten through the entire cutscene because they annoy me so much and i just reload as soon as i see them
Calling it right now— I am going to adore the sixth love interest
That morning letter we got… whoever it is, they seem so sensitive & geared towards having comfort + sweetness amidst hardship & damage. A soft soul... THAT’S MY BABY ALREADY
Ok found the Merspeak alphabet https://www.tumblr.com/sapphicseasapphire/747828546899247104/i-dont-know-if-ill-ever-actually-use-this-little?source=share
But you also state here that Legend has a song to refer to each Link that's from their respective games?
Is Time's the obvious Song of Time or more nuanced Song of Healing. I imagine when Legend meets Malon she'll end up with Epona's Song, the fact she's always singing it might trigger mixed emotions. I mean a Redhead with a beautiful voice, that's not complicated
Sorry!! I got so caught up in Mermay, I didn’t have the mental capacity to think too hard about putting these thoughts into words. Prepare for me to ramble for too long.
Legend’s “songs” that refer to the other Cryptids are just what the Merspeak version of the name sounds like. It’s written as a code version of English, but in the world it exists as a series of clicks and melodies- like whale songs.
Time’s name is different than his song.
His name is given to him by Legend, and used VERY rarely. (Legend will speak in Hylian when he’s with the rest of the Chain. He knows they can’t understand Merspeak). When Legend addresses Time, he’ll just call him Time. But of course, Time is a God worshiped by all…. Or he will be, at some point. So he has to have a name in Merspeak.
Names in Merspeak have to come from the Link’s respective game. It has to be a piece of music that exists in the game, but not in the world of the game. For example, the Ballad of the Goddess is a song that exists in the world of Skyward Sword. It is a song that is already claimed, in that sense. People know how to play it and associate it with a completely different idea, so it can’t be Sky’s name. It was made by the Hylians of that world, so it can’t be Merspeak anyway.
The Song of Time and the Song of Healing are the same way.
But it gets a little more complicated as a God.
Because he does answer to the Song of Time. Later on in the story, when he’s more comfortable with his Godhood, he will Know when that song is played. It summons him. But it’s less like calling his name, and more like calling him to work. It’s not personal. It’s not loving. It’s just… a stranger playing the right notes in the right order to summon a deity that they couldn’t possibly understand. It’s not Merspeak, it’s just music.
Now, Time’s Merspeak name? That is given with trust and understanding. With love. It has to be from either Ocarina of Time or Majora’s Mask, but it can’t be a song that he played during his adventure.
His name is the Opening Theme from Ocarina of Time.
“But Sapphire! That’s a musical motif that Link plays on the flute in game as early as in Zelda 1!”
You’re right. But it doesn’t exist in any of Time’s games, so it counts because I say so. The reason it has to be limited to in game music is because I want it to match the Vibe of the characters. Also because I am a NERD about Zelda music.
Legend only gives names to people that he’s CLOSE to. Realistically, Malon won’t get one. Not even a song she always sings- that exists in the game. And it calls Epona, not her. It should be Epona’s name.
Aaaand of course, in case you’re curious, here are some of the other Cryptids’ Merspeak names:
Legend: As I said, his is the First Search theme from Link’s Awakening. (Keep in mind that Ravio named him)
Ravio: Already has name! Ravio’s theme, Link Between Worlds. (The beloved)
Sky: Crimson Loftwing because COME ON, GUYS. OBVIOUSLY. It’s even a duet, are you kidding me? This song makes me so emotional, I love it so much. My Skyward Sword bias is showing
Hyrule: Palace Theme (Zelda 2) mostly because this song deserves more credit as one of the best pieces of Zelda music ever. And Let Hyrule Be FEIRCE!!!
Twilight: FUN FACT! This Link is the only one to actually have a theme! It’s most clearly heard in the Hyrule Field theme, but it weaves its way into the majority of music in Twilight Princess. So. Yeah, that’s him, alright.
Wind: I’m so tempted to make it the Pirates theme. BUT WIND IS SPECIAL!! HE IS AQUILI!! RAISED ON OUTSET!! BESIDE MER!! He also knows Merspeak- with such an accent that Legend can hardly understand him sometimes. But still, singing his grandma’s name or Aryll’s name brings him comfort on his travels
Spirit: Whatever this is (In The Feilds, I guess). This is one of my favorites of all time, too. It’s so joyful! So adventurous!
Wild: Ancient Zora Waterworks (Tears of The Kingdom). Please please please, I love this song. The Faron Woods motif from Skyward Sword that they snuck in??? And it sounds like something you’d find in Twilight Princess. It sounds peaceful. Almost mournful? But with a silent hope? UGH one of these days, I’m just gonna have to rant about my favorite Zelda songs.
(Realistically, it’d only be a few notes from each song. Or else it’d take FOREVER to have a conversation. But just for fun, we get to listen to the full context)
