when people talk about androgynous zelda characters, they always mention link, sheik, or vaati for good reason... but my favorite underrated androgynous fellow is the beggar/banker from oot/mm. you heard me.
i really hate how in a certain corner of the zelda fandom, the oot girls (mainly saria, zelda, ruto, malon, and nabooru sometimes) are just reduced to waifubait or harem tropes and aren't even treated like actual characters
also it's just really weird to me how saria is especially involved in this, people have always been really weird with her and that's just glossing over the fact that she's a child and cannot age. same goes for adult characters too, mostly nabooru, i dunno it's a bit weird for me to ship her with link when she was an adult when she first met him
some kid in our school (probably a grade below us) recently yelled at me, saying something along the lines of "cool bag, love the pins" while i was talking to my friend because i had a shit ton of them on my handbag and this is something i genuinely feel accomplished over
hello, i'm paru! you can essentially find my basic information on my bio: i go by she/they, i'm filipino, aroace, enby (non-binary), and i'm an artist of sorts; i usually post my art, shitposts, rants, or whatever is going on with my life ( ╹ ▽ ╹ )
BOUNDARIES AND OTHER THINGS 𐙚
i'm a minor, so please don't be weird with me; i'm still a student, so i wouldn't exactly focus on social media much unless i have any semblance of free time
DNI: basic DNI criteria (this includes anti LGBTQ+, racists, islamophobic, loli/shotacons, proship/darkship, MAGA, pro israel, pedophiles, misogynist, sexist, ableist, people who romanticize problematic media/tropes etc..) anyone is free to interact with me, unless you're any of the ones mentioned here and/or if you happen to be MDNI, NSFW, or support gen AI. i will block you if you are ever one of these
please do not DM me unless i know you personally - this one is pretty self-explanatory, i just don't feel very comfortable when people i'm not very familiar with DM me, so i hope you can respect my wishes
please DO NOT use and/or repost my artwork without permission and proper credit. please do not use them for AI training; tracing is fine, but please make sure you keep it private and to not share it online (if you'd like to view my art, it's all under the tag #my art)
english isn't my first language, but i'd say i'm pretty fluent in it. though, i could make some grammatical errors here and there if i don't happen to proofread a post
i use this site as a digital diary of sorts, so i have posted a lot of my own personal thoughts here (under the tag #paru yapping), BUT these posts would sometimes include sensitive and very personal topics!
i know i like media that have problematic creators (such as yansim or saori sato), but please remember that i do not condone their disgusting behavior
i'm very VERY awkward and shy towards people. if you're my moot... i think y'all are cool i'm sorry for not being able to talk to you!!! i tend to dismiss asks too, so i apologize for answering them a little late
i don't have a spam sideblog, so literally everything i reblog ends up here. i apologize if i'm ever annoying to your dashboard, whoops!
