My brain should not be allowed to make headcanons.

I was thinking about the end of TOTK, and I was like, "Wait, how did she get her secret stone back?" My brain immediately pictured Zelda searching through her next few bowel movements to save it, because it's an important artifact. Then Link steals and hides it from her, because he is NOT going through that again.

(A few years later.)

Pregnant Zelda, remembering how good the stone tasted: "Come on Link. I'm not going to swallow it, I just want to taste it."

Link: *hands her a rock roast instead*

closed starter for @godzexperiment

The only reason she took the effort to take note of the passage of time was that Nix was hopeless when it came to perceiving time. Rose started a new annual tradition, but maybe the name and date for said holiday is a bit macabre…

“Happy End-mas!” The fae sang quietly, perched on the bed frame by his feet. This new holiday always took place on the day the seemingly never ending war began. In her hands was an old boomerang she’d found in a crumbling shed when the two of them had been scavenging. The boomerang had been customized. “It might not work because the additions, but I figured you could probably find a way.” On each of the ends of the wooden toy were small throwing knives she’d carefully taped on with duct tape.

Gracefully, she hopped off of the bed frame of the bed they were currently borrowing from one Mr. Hamburg—at least that is what she thought was written on the old mailbox—and waved the weapon above her head. “Want to play catch?” Rose joked.

#godzexperiment #{rose & nix}#{war everlasting || apocalypse au}#{I don't know why my brain went to this but rose would be the person to create a holiday like this}

Sometimes i remember a comics moment i randomly came across somewhere, where Sam Wilson mentiones a musical and Steve Rodgers says he doesn't like musicals, to whitch Sam goes "Guess that means you really are straight" and even tho i don't care about Cap America or the Avengers, the moment stuck in me for that quote by Sam. And like....Sci, any ideas if straight men actually don't like musicals or is that bullshit?

actually i think i know more gay men who hate musicals than i know straight men who hate musicals. i've had a drag queen stop me point blank when i was about to sing a barbra streisand song, and i know so many gays who pointedly hate abba. so based on my experience i think the inverse is true. most of the straight men i know are kind of impartial about musicals, but gay men? hate.

my theory is that a lot of gay men don't want to fall into stereotypes, maybe. but thaaaaat's just a theory! a gay theory.

#sci speaks #i'm trying to understand the gays. they are a mystery to me.#i've seen a lot more toxic masculinity coming from gay men than i have from straight men.#i think it makes sense. they have less women in their lives. so they reckon with a lot more masculinity. more dick measuring.#also gay men have some of THE most unhealthy romantic relationships i've ever seen in my life.#this isn't a blanket statement on everyone but just from what i've seen. it's such a strange pattern i've observed.#lesbians? healthy. straights? usually healthy. gay men? universally a tire fire that makes me say “if you hate each other so much ??”#“why are you together??????????”#i have never met a cis gay mlm couple in real life that was healthy. every single one of them made my eyes widen in horror.#i want them to be healthy. please treat each other better.#the number of bitchy bitchy fights i've seen between mlm couples in public that make me so terrified #but i know mlm relationships in general are usually less... affectionate than wlw relationships. even and especially friendships.#just an observation.#i hate to say that there is a definite difference between amab vs afab experiences when it comes to relationship dynamics but.#of course there is. there is. as much as i want to say gender and sex do not matter. it really does.#it makes a difference. it does.#which is kind of why i'm glad i was born in the body i was. when people say “trans means you feel you were born in the wrong body”#im like.. i don't think that's true. i don't think that's true for me.#i wouldn't be me if i wasn't born the way i was. and i want to be me. but i'm a boy. i'm a boy but in the body that i have.#my body is still a boy's body. because i live in here.#sorry this went off on a tangent.#but yeah i know my brain would be different if i was amab. and i don't want all those other issues.#i think the only reason i'm so peaceful and serene is because i'm afab. and afabulous.#i see cis guys and im like.. yeah i don't want what you got.#once again! lucky to be me! i'm lucky. im lucky i have a vargooba. thank fuck for that!#couldve been so much worse off. could've been born with a dick and would be fighting for my life right now.

unsure how to word this but there is something about having ocs with unsavory events happening in their past where it's like. talking about it, even when asked, seems almost gratuitous and inappropriate. and i'd much rather describe it through the oc themself and/or draw Them saying it. which is like. fitting for the subject matter? like of course its weird to talk about somebody else's business...!

and falls back into humanizing em/exploratory writing and development where u consider the impact of words said/words unsaid/HOW those words are said etc etc

#because not all real persons would give u every detail of their trauma obviously #which makes sense but im an overexplainer but also it feels inappropriate to overexplain when it comes to dis #i hope that makes sense #talkys #i once described what went down with al as just directly as possible and it still felt weird. ykwim?? idk why.#well i do know why! i dont want it to seem gratuitous or like That Cheap Writing Element. fine line #same with talon so he'll just keep implying it thru text + dialogue which is how it should be !#the only difference is i think with al i wrote it like he would've said it bc he has more access to that side of himself #and is aware of how it affected him #whereas characterwise talon absolutely would just speak in riddles about and around it #i don't even think he's conscious about the direct effects of it #(but i wouldnt know bc he hasn't made that known to me in my brain)#people respond differently to different things and all that #also im so sorry if half the shit ive said recently is so like. Well Duh. i havent made a new oc in a decade gimme a break LOL #also i realize the. irony? of me even vaguely talking about it in the way i did but 1. i think that's also realistic when you #dont want to do a whole deep dive on someone else's business and 2. people are becoming #curious about my oc(s) and im just thinking about well; significant events and how to handle not speaking about em #FOR them. <- weirdly #idk. they're real to me.#its just so much more interesting to leave it up to them! people can lie people can downplay

SAY IT WITH ME:

FEMALE CHARACTERS CAN BE WARRIORS AND FEMININE

MALE CHARACTERS CAN BE SMART AND MASCULINE

BEING BOTH IS NOT A "FLAW" WHERE ONE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED

IT'S CALLED "COMPLEXITY"

#i won't tag it #but #HECK if i wanted to chuck episode 5 out my window and then run it over with a car #i mean these issues have definitely been hinted at before ep 5 but that one just went ALL IN #i knew from 3 and 4 what they would probably do with hakoda but GOSH am i bitter about it #i swear if they don't walk this back somehow and make hakoda a bad overbearing dad or whatever i'm gonna riot #and katara's whole 'you know i'm not good at this [womanly] type of stuff' NO SCREW YOU WHOEVER INCLUDED THAT #WHY #if you want a female character that rejects the stereotypes of femininity you'll get one in season 2 gosh DANG IT #you don't need to try and force katara into that role #sokka wanting to use his brain AND fight well is not a flaw #katara wanting to use her waterbending to fight AND knowing how to sew is not a flaw #OH i hate this #i hate this so much #i can understand the need to change story elements to work better in a different format #i don't think they're always doing that WELL but i can understand the need for it #but i will never understand why they felt the need to butcher characters' personalities #again some things won't transfer well i get it i really REALLY do #it's like with sanji in opla how he had to be toned down - that makes sense for a live action adaptation #just removing things simply for the sake of removing them? no just no #'updated for modern audiences' has become a curse to my ears i swear because it always means the same thing #'we're going to remove all complexity and make it as one note as possible so we don't offend anyone'#there was nothing wrong with katara or sokka or aang or anyone else that they needed 'updating' yall are just close-minded #ok rant over just REALLY needed to get that out...

Ahh, fuck. Just saw this post cross my dash and my brain absolutely vomited this fucking thing out in response and I do not have any idea what the FUCK to do with this weird unhinged Dark LotR AU that I just spontaneously generated. Help.

"Not like this."

The words slipped from Gimli's lips as a broken whisper, torn free from the very depths of his soul before his conscious wits could stop them. He swallowed, as though he would call them back to him; but there was no calling them back, any more than there was undoing the dreadful deeds that had led to Gimli standing here, in this place, feeling as though his heart were being ripped from his chest at the sight before him: a fair golden head bowed low, heavy shackles weighing down lithesome elvish limbs.

Gimli swallowed again, and held his tongue. The words still beat themselves against the inside of his skull: Not like this, not like this.

How was it they all now found themselves here? It had not seemed easy, so many months ago in Rivendell, when the Free Peoples of Middle-earth had taken desperate council together in hopes of defying Sauron, no; nothing of what they had set out to do had seemed easy. But still, to have fallen so far that they were here…

Gimli closed his eyes against the sharp and bitter sting of tears, but only for a moment. A moment was all he could allow himself. Any more than that would be seen, would be noted; would be marked down against him, against Erebor, as a weakness that they could not afford.

As treason, treason against the Dark Lord.

The Lonely Mountain could not afford such a thing, not if any dwarf was going to be left breathing beneath its strong stone walls by this time tomorrow.

So Gimli took a deep breath, and opened his eyes, and struggled to wipe the pain and horror from his face. He nodded, doing his best to ignore the hot bite of metal against his hand; doing his best to ignore the way his heart was shattering like untempered steel suddenly flash-frozen at the sight of Legolas kneeling as a captive before him.

"A fine tribute," Gimli said, hating himself for the words; hating himself even more for the dark twist of pleasure that threaded through his mind as he spoke. He clenched his fist tighter around the hard gold he held; it did not help. The row of kneeling elves before him did not move; the sharp blades of the axes hanging over their necks did not soften.

The Ring on his finger did not loose its deadly grip.

"Tell the Men of Dale that they have earned their people four months of triple rations in addition to the gold-price on the heads of these elves," Gimli continued. Such a paltry amount to pay, for elvish lives; yet it would keep the Men of Dale from starving, and would earn them favor in the Dark Lord's eyes. He saw the bedraggled Dalish representative straighten in gratitude and joy and he grimaced into his beard.

Gimli did not care to think how many Men must have died to take four elves alive anymore than he cared to think about how long said elves would endure in hard labor and dark cages under the mountain. He knew that no matter how quickly they let go of their hopes and let themselves Fade, it would be far far longer than it should be. Elves were too strong, and the elves of Mirkwood far too defiant, for their own good. They would last a long time, in the mines and the smithies, before finally giving up their souls to the call of Mandos.

It would not be a mercy, to last so long.

There was no mercy that Gimli could show to these elves, either—no, not even to the one whose face he had spent all these bitter, terrible months longing to see above all other faces. How Gimli had wept, wishing to see Legolas again; now, he yearned only to take all those wishes back and bury them where nothing, least of all the wretched, wonderful Thing on his hand, could hear them. Yes, he had longed to see Legolas; but not like this, never like this.

Not like this.

The Dalish Man bowed low, and murmured praise for Gimli's generosity in a voice made ragged and hoarse by want and misery, and let himself be led away to receive his payment. The elves waited in motionless silence, their heads bowed and their chains heavy. The dwarves watched their lord with tight, shadowed eyes.

Gimli cleared his throat, and spoke again: "Have the elves taken to the cages. Except—" He could not tell if the words that followed were his own, or those of the Ring. "Except for the golden-haired one. Take him to my chambers; I will see to his breaking personally. Oh," he added, almost as though it was an afterthought, making his lips curl in a cruel smile as he said it even as his own heart twisted against him, "and send water for a bath as well; he is all over filthy with blood, and I will not have him defiling my rooms anymore than he can help, noisome creature that he is."

There were chuckles, some weak and some sincere; Gimli did not look to see which was which, because he did not wish to know which of his people had learned to find amusement in the suffering of other creatures and which had merely learned to feign it.

He could not be sure, some days, where his own pretenses ended either.

He smiled anyway, because that was what he had to do. He smiled, and he watched the elves be dragged away into the dark of his mountain, and he kept smiling even as he felt blood trickling down his palm from where the Ring that wrapped cold around his finger had bitten through the skin beneath the tightness of his grip and made him bleed.

It was hardly the worst thing that Durin's Ring had made him do since Gondor's Rise, after all.

#seriously what the FUCK brain #what even is this? did boromir take the ring from frodo then? or aragorn?#or maybe faramir did not show his quality and brought the ring home to denethor and this was the result?#maybe sam didn't stay long enough to hear that frodo still lived and went straight to mordor and when frodo was interrogated #sauron found out what was going on and he sent the nazgul to stop sam before he could reach the mountain and take the ring?#i don't know I DON'T KNOW fuck #what is HAPPENING you don't have ANY WORLD BUILDING to back you up WHY #what are we even supposed to DO WITH THIS BRAIN? DID YOU THINK OF THAT? HUH!?#lotr au #gimli #lotr #legolas #gigolas #my writing #my stuff #gimli dark lord of erebor au #gimleaf

How/why did you start shipping Han and Leia? And also, how/why did you got into Star Wars in general?

The year was 2015. The Force Awakens was slated for cinematic release in December, and Tumblr was abuzz with the return of Star Wars.

A young OtterAndTerrier could not get away from the hype, as the blogs she followed were suddenly reblogging gifsets from the movies she'd promised she'd watch... one day. One of her cousins had always been a big fan, but when she tried to get into it as a teen, she unfortunately chose The Phantom Menace as her entry point - and did not make it to the end, probably deciding to go back to her Harry Potter books instead.

This time, however, she paid attention to the gifsets... and a certain couple caught her attention. Who were these two very attractive people who were bantering one minute and being so domestically tender towards each other the next, much like another couple she was obsessed with at the time? She had to find out, finally, what the whole "I love you/I know" deal was about. I mean, that forehead kiss meant they were married, right? That scene where Leia is dressed in white at a sort of altar was their wedding, right?

At the same time, what she couldn't escape, either, were the spoilers from The Force Awakens - but she decided that a little pre-heartbreak might be worth it. Reasonable, even. Alas, she would find out that it was not, but she did come away with a deep appreciation for the original story and the characters.

And that is the story of how the sequels made me an OT and Han/Leia fan, ironically!

#asks #diplomaticprincess #fandom ramblings #sw #han and leia #i don't know why i wrote this like that lol #god what a time that was #i went to see TFA already knowing that han died and how #started reading fic the next month #and it takes a lot for me to read fic for a new fandom; i can't stress enough how i almost never do that #like it's been hp and sw and very few fics for other fandoms #i don't know what it was about it but my brain latched into it

its so weird how we live in a time on the internet where you have to tell people not to post their whole id card with their address and full name and date of birth on it like you think that would be intuitive but it isnt. i just saw a lady on instagram whos a wannabe beauty influencer and she moved into a new house and wanted to post a house tour video but she showed her home address and her street name and her car with her license plate in the video like GIRL? do you not feel the threat

#like i dont think im the pinnacle of internet safety either #i post about all my woes on tumblr like its my personal diary and i have posted my face before #though i recently went thru and deleted all my selfies from tumblr cuz u dont need to know me like that #BUT YOUR HOME ADDRESS?????#that just seems like such an obviously bad idea it breaks my brain that someone online thinks otherwise #oh whatever its just my HOME ADDRESS im posting online. no big deal #GIRL??????????????#where is your trauma-induced hypervigilance girl. why do you feel so safe posting this revealing info #it's just so bizarre to me i don't even know how someone can feel so safe as to do something this reckless

Finishing my WIPs was just an excuse to cast on all over lace project. Day one always has the most impressive progress.

#knitting #lace rot #knitblr #lace knitting #wip #this wasn't even the all over lace project i wanted to cast on. my brain has been having a Mental Illness Moment recently #i have three other projects lined up and it just went actually what if we knit a hannukah gift in less than a month so ig we're trying that #at least it's pretty. this purple is so intense. hopefully this yarn blocks well (acrylic/nylon blend) so the actual pattern shows.#i don't mind how it looks just kinda textured while scrunkly but the actual pattern is WAYYY nicer #godwilling i'll get more work done on this today. had my covid booster yesterday and it's kicking my ass along with seasonal depression #also if anyone recognizes this pattern i added two additional garter stitches to either end so that's why it's a little funky #also i am actually using stitch markers this time!! only two because i still hate them but #it was nice to know the difference between the edge stitches and the main pattern repeat

I had a dream today where the sorry boys were making a vid where they rp as high school students (like the ones in 2000's nickelodeon/high school musicals) but what they didn't know was that Jacksepticeye had kidnapped Ranboo, locked him in a glass box and made him raise a piglet and be in a pig's family (like they were supposed to accept that the piglet's mom was their wife and the piglet was their son)

the other sorry boys didn't know that he was kidnapped and thought he was just busy/late, so while they're chilling in class waiting for him, Ranboo was raising a pig family and thinking of ways to escape

#ranboo does escape but not without getting manhunted (they don't die dw)#you know what's funny about this? i exactly know why I got this dream #alot of my dreams are based around what my brain has watched/thought of/memorized #so I kinda know why this dream took place #I watched the mv for Digital Silence by Peter McPoland (piglets are in that mv)#and I also watched Jacksepticeye's standup comedy in Tommyinnit's show before I went to bed #my best bet for why Ranboo was there was because I saw an Ethoslab/hatsune miku fanart and mistook it for Ranboo in their miku outfit #(that was also before i went to bed so yeah)#I'm ending my ted talk here #jacksepticeye #sorry boys #ranboo #philza #wilbur soot #slimecicle #tommyinnit #noven speaks #noven dreams

I don't know if it's rude to ask, so apologies in advance if I sound mean, but… how come you repeatedly bring up old posts of yours from three or more years ago? Do you remember each original post you make and intentionally bring them back? Like, I don't think there's anything wrong, your blog can be whatever you want, obviously, and your stuff is always funny or curious in some way, just… I'm kind of lost as of how it came to be, I guess? I don't think I remember my own posts after 6 months, much least if I have to go back to 2020!

ahaha no it's usually just because i'm going back through a tag looking for something else! i recently went back through my entire "my posts" tag (which contains...1468 posts, dear lord) and while i was doing that saw several posts that i felt like reblogging for whatever reason. so it's usually not that i remember them and go looking for them on purpose, it's that i come across them incidentally in the course of doing something else.

if you want to know why i reblog them after coming across them, 1) usually i don't! you are seeing the tip of the iceberg lol, and 2) it's mostly because it's hard to resist the "sooo true, bestie" urge, even when the bestie is just...yourself.

#sometimes...things that are written by me...are things i agree with #but oftentimes they are not once a few years have passed lol. i mean i just looked at 1468 posts by yours truly #and queued probably 1% of them #oh i also went through my asks tag which was another 500 or so posts #if you want to know why i'm putting myself through this it's for a really ridiculous reason #namely: several nights ago i had insomnia brought on by (get this) being too excited to sleep because my brain wouldn't stop #coming up with crosslinguistic french/english puns #and a couple of them in particular i was like oh god this would be a great tumblr username!#however as i've said before i had no plans to ever change my username (even though i don't like it)#because doing so would break any links that contain my current username #i had resigned myself to just living with this username forever. but once i thought of some usernames i actually like #it became harder to resist the urge to change it...#so now i have this convoluted plan to try to identify and tag as many of the links as i can #so that after i switch names i can go back and fix the links #however i'm not sure how feasible this is. there are a lot of links #and no matter what i do short of going through all 45k posts on this blog i will be bound to miss some of them anyway #(i think getting a domain would solve this problem but i don't wanna get a domain bc i'd have to give wordpress my legal name)#indecisive superhero meme w the buttons 'the need to have punny username' vs. 'the need to be able to find things on my blog'#asks #anon #actually anon probably the majority of the time i rb something i wrote 3 years ago it's bc i forgot about it #i come across it and am like oh yeah! this! and it's like a brand new discovery so i put it back on the dash lol #anyway thanks for your ask! i got a kick out of it 😂
