#Me: aw thanks keep talking ^^

Lmaoooo okay so MAJOR story spoilers ahead-
But I just finished the crisis at hyrule castle quest line (after thorough googling that I wasn't going into the final boss, of course) and went back to the landing where everyone gathered to discuss what to do next.
It was all very solemn and thoughtful, everyone theorising and letting it sink in how incredibly dangerous ganon was, and then purah and riju are like 'omg there was a sixth sage maybe we can find whatever they've left behind maybe it can help us' and then Link IMMEDIATELY speaks up like 'oh yeah about that I've already found her. Yeah she's fine she's going to help us. I've also got the master sword too by the way'.
Everyone was SHOOK. I got praise and amazement from all sides. Purah was like 'ALREADY???!! And you didn't think to TELL ME??' it was great.
Never felt more like canon link in my life. I've got a screenshot of everyone's :O?! face. Going to be riding that high for hours XD.
But it's very impressive that I managed to procrastinate so hard I managed to skip about three major plot lines just by squirrelling my way where I'm not supposed to be purely by accident lmao.
#totk spoilers#<- MAJOR ONES#loz#legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#totk#loz totk#loz tears of the kingdom#Purah: I can't believe what we're up against. And how hard it must have been! But you're so calm and collected about it!#Me: aw thanks keep talking ^^#Purah: you're really a wonder link. I'm amazed by what you can do! It's up to us now! Let us help you!! ✌️#Ngl finding the thunder head heart door was pure. PURE chance. It was night and I couldn't see the arrow head on links bow#Pouring rain and thunder. Somehow managed to blindly claw my way to the top of the ruin and spent ages trying to find out what it was#At the very last second before I left I slipped on the side of the wall and fell all the way down. Straight onto the shrine.#Eventually gathered the hearts and came right back to do the whole thing. No idea it was supposed to be a triggered quest until now LMAO#But fr everyone was so shaken after ganons vision and link was just standing there like 🙄 he's already had a dozen of them XD#'pig man should have gone into theatre. Tryna play me with zelda when I know full well where she is. your precious phantoms were RUBBISH'#Seriously don't worry about the fight if you have the vows and decent armour I posed so silly and took several attacks to the spleen#And it did absolutely NOTHING. Several photos of link with phantoms furious heads in view and I lost MAYBE 3 hearts total. No anti gloom!!#I will say the image of broken doll zelda dissolving into gloom smoke will probably traumatise link but what's one more lol

I've been having fun dipping into martin's perspective lately... it's helping me flesh out my interpretation of him and he never fails to be suffering tremendously in a way that is excellent to write
#whenever I get to mention pax from his pov I go HEEHEEHOOHOO like a giggling little beast of a child#their dynamic is. so fucked up kind of. but in a subtle enough way that pax#(who routinely addresses traumatised middle aged men's sad little angst moments by giving them stolen food)#(and does not know any other way to cope with anything ever)#doesn't ever really register it#but martin spends the whole time going 'oh god oh fuck jesus fucking christ that is a small child. and that is a horse.'#'and I am going to cope by projecting onto the horse. and I am in a very cold mountain house. and this is hell. fuck.'#'and we sent the small child into actual hell. again. and she's way too excited about this. and nobody has any concerns.'#'and the child is threatening to die for me. uncomfortably common as of late. and all I can do to protect the child#is keep my sad middle aged angst in my head. and hope that he doesn't actually die. fuck. everything is awful'#and pax is not perceptive enough to realise just how much he's holding back in an effort to shield them from the only thing he can (himself#and then they die (more or less) and nothing is ever resolved! the end!!!#someone talk to me about them I love them so much. blease and thank you#oc tag#pax#martin septim

I really wish Nintendo would have had the courage to make Link an actual character in BotW/TotK. And no I don't mean have other characters TELL us about his personality or whatever. Allow him some facial expressions at least. I understand why he was so stoic in the memories in BotW but it would've been nice to have a memory that's just about Link himself. I'm still annoyed that the ONLY reason we know about Link's father being a knight is because Zelda mentioned it briefly in one memory. Not a SINGLE other mention of him.
I believe the reasoning for why Link has no personality in BotW/TotK is because he's supposed to be like a blank slate for the player to project onto, but.. in past games Link isn't a cardboard cutout, yet people project onto him just fine. For instance in WW, no one needs to tell you Link's personality, because it's SHOWN to you. The game does not have to tell you that he cares about saving his sister, because you can SEE it in his actions. Compared to TotK, it feels like Link doesn't really care at all about Zelda, especially after getting the final tear and he just stands there like... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know people like to bring up the in-game dialogue options that show Link's personality, and I agree that at the very least we have that. But a lot of that is skippable, and there are choices that the player (not Link) picks from. You could argue that his personality is different depending on who's playing the game, because ultimately people love to project onto him and pretend like that's his canon personality. Or his entire personality is just "I <3 Zelda."
I just want to know, what does Link HIMSELF think about having lost so many of his memories, his identity, and his friends and family? What does he think about his arm being destroyed and then replaced with Rauru's? What does he think about the MASTER SWORD being shattered???????????? Because you know it's HIS sword, that was literally CREATED to fight Ganon.
Anyway this just annoys me so much, that past LoZ games had fairly simple yet meaningful stories, and actually good, FUN characters, even if they weren't particularly fleshed out. And now apparently open-world games can't have decent stories or good characters. There's maybe a HANDFUL of characters from BotW/TotK that I actually like, and the rest are bland and boring. I really hope the next game does better.
#loz#sorry im rambling now i figure this is my blog so i can post my loz takes here#this has been on my mind for years and it just irks me a lot when people keep trying to defend nintendo's shitty storytelling#and character writing#im not even asking for link to be a deep multi-faceted character#i just want SOME actual characterization beyond what other characters literally just TELL us#its completely doable because they've done it in past games!#maybe im just whiny but this is just adding insult to injury considering how awful the story in totk is#and the story in botw is marginally better but still not great#thanks for coming to my ted talk <3

#I've got a pair of jeans that's like.. maybe twelve years old? and I've been patching all the holes over the last six months#and my most recent patch job I got some rainbow faux fur and I love it it's so awful#I need courderoy for the last patch job tbh. the mismatch texture would be so fun. they're my favorite pants#tag talk#honestly it's a tragedy I can't wear them to work because they have so much personality#thanks tumblr for teaching me about mending clothing. I have unlocked my most chaotic aesthetic attribute#and you can even use any cloth you want. Just use a larger denim patch as a backing and any fabric you want as a front that shows through#I need to rip out the earliest patching I did on an earlier pair of pants and redo much better now that I've had a lot more practice#the first pair of jeans I did I didn't back with denim I just used t-shirt fabric which stretches something awful so I need to rework it#I also need to go thrifting again and find some new fabric patterns to use for patching.#anyway. mending pants is so fun and I only need to worry about keeping good pants for work. otherwise I can just wear my old pants#Highkey once I get a sewing machine I'm gonna start making my own shit#I already have several shirts I'm gonna take in the waist on since clothing proportions are a nightmare

#having a Bad Day#one of my bosses was talking to me about classes i should take next year#and gave some helpful ideas about taking trial advocacy and pretrial lit#which. i do plan on taking the latter sometime next year#but both of those classes would severely mess up my entire course schedule and probably wouldn’t allow me to work twice a week at the firm#but i ofc don’t say that i just nod and agree and say thank you. they don’t need to know what classes i’m taking#and then my head boss talks to me after and says they are suggesting these courses bc my analysis writing has gotten worse since i started#and that he noticed i don’t have a ‘passion’ for this work#so . great. now i feel god awful. not about what they think about me but more about whether or not i’ll be able to keep a job here#and like normally i would not care but. i NEED this job i NEED the money#i pay for my mom’s mortgage and i have loans to pay off + just! normal general things to buy! and GAS!#without this job i’d have $240 a month roughly from my other job which is next to nothing#idk what i’m doing wrong. this job is such a ‘trial by fire’ and i’m sooo intimidated by my bosses#and i’m cheery and i don’t complain and i listen and i smile and i work quickly#and sure i make mistakes but i try! i swear!#if i don’t have this job past the summer idk what i’m going to do i’ll be so fucked#putting all of my eggs in this one basket. already committed to this summer but if they don’t want to hire me after graduation#i will be jobless. i have no network. i spend all of my time working or at home bc i live with two disabled people an hour+ away from campus#and i don’t have the time or energy to do anything else#i’ve dealt with soooo much worse in my life idk why i’m freaking out so much rn#i would give anything to call my grandpa rn for some advice but .#…. haha anyways . great weather we’re having

It’s important to recognise that Barbie (2023) criticises both the patriarchy AND the matriarchy. Yes, the Ken’s are just accessories to the Barbies. Yes, they don’t have any say in the government they live under. That’s the point, you’re supposed to feel awful, you’re supposed to want the Kens to have their own agency, you’re supposed to want equality. The Barbie movie explicitly states that the way Barbie treats Ken is wrong, so much so that once he finds a safe space for his masculinity and individual identity he’s so excited to share it with the other Kens.
But they go overboard and replace a matriarchy with a patriarchy and now the same issue exists but in reverse. That’s the POINT!! THATS THE POINT!!! Barbie is not anti-men it’s pro equality PLEASE understand this
13th Aug 2023 UPDATE:
Heeeeey howdy!!
Due to the IMMENSE comments and discussion on this post (thanks ya’ll!!) I’ve decided to update my post with my recent opinions and hopefully clearer explanations!!
First, my original post only considers a very small and very vague analysis of the film!!
Since making this I've read all your comments and learned quite a bit about the matriarchy as it appears in human civilisation. Originally, I was pitting the patriarchy and the matriarchy against each other as though the results of their implementation were equal in the film.
They were not!! Below is the definition of matriarchy I’ll be working off of.
Matriarchy Simple Definition;
Matriarchy is a social system in which women hold the primary power positions in roles of authority. In a broader sense it can also extend to moral authority, social privilege and control of property.
There's a lot to talk about in the Barbie film that would fit better in an essay, so I'll try and condense it into this;
To me, Barbie (2023) is a film about the female experience and the shared connection between women that persists through childhood and adulthood, support and harassment, suffering and joy, mother and daughter.
It uses Barbie as its figurehead because of the immense societal and political impact the doll has had on women, both good and bad (as explained in the film).
The male experience as seen in Barbie (2023) is not the sole focus of the film- rather, it's an accessory (as the Kens are) to Barbie's story, and a necessary aspect of exploration to truly highlight the importance of individualism and healthy personal exploration.
I want to make clear that I in no way think the treatment of the Kens was just as bad as the treatment of the Barbies. I also still agree that the matriarchy fostered by the Barbies wasn’t good for the Kens.
Additionally, I’m aware that this take on Barbie (2023) works strictly within the assumed heteronormative boundaries of gender. There is a lot of nuance in the Barbie film and I don’t think everything can be covered or explained in on Tumblr post— but I hope this clarification helps!!
I hope you're all coming to your own conclusions and analysis of the film in a way that makes sense to you. And for those of you engaging in online conversations and discourse about it, I hope you're keeping yourself and others happy and safe!!!
Much love to you all!! < 3
