So there's an actual in game reason you can't get lynel weapons anymore??
So I was looking over the monster statues, just examining the design, when I notice something I'd seen but never really twigged:
Those are nuts and bolts. Huh. That's not natural, that's been added on. In fact, you can still see part of the original scratchy lynel horn from botw underneath, even if it has mutated a bit like all the other horned monsters.
See, lynels, with lizalfos in a lesser way, are the only enemies in the game with the intelligence and cunning to forge weapons. A lizal can only manage one boomerang, shield or bow with varying spikes and occasionally repurpose some hylian armour (and often loot anyway), but lynels are capable of creating their own unique metals and using it to completely outfit themselves. Armour, bows, shields, spears, clubs, and swords, complete with sheaths and harnesses and decoration!
But in totk the particularly pointy ones are missing, leaving only shields, armour, and bows. Their weapons were subject to the Decay as well, but instead of trying to use them anyway, what did they do? They broke down their own weapons and repurposed them as enhancements to their own horns! Extra defence and a new devastating attack!
But... For what reason? They could have kept using those weapons just fine, everyone else is! It probably would have been more practical to start attaching things to the end, like the goblins have all started doing (albeit with mixed results, they seem to inordinately favour mushrooms). Why would the most feared enemy in the game feel the need to put more points into defence and intimidation, even sometimes utilising the rock armour?
What would they be feeling the need to so strongly defend from, even to the point of sacrificing huge attack power over it?
...
Link. It's Link.
The 5 nothing hero of hyrule, who built a whole community of speed running, styling on, brutally murdering lynels almost exclusively again and again and again. Moldugas, hinox, talus, they haven't changed a bit! They weren't at the center of every flashy slow mo clip since the first game came out!
But lynels in totk are running scared, they're building bigger horns to look scarier and armour to hide in, because once they need to get their short range weapons out its already over, or maybe link will just stop farming them for top tear weapons XD.
Tldr: unlike other monsters, which have branched out to kidnapping, riding flying monsters and rolling big spiky balls, lynels have gone entirely the other direction in order to try and scare the hero off after the last round of stylish massacres, and attached their old decayed gear to their horns.
Tldr tldr: botw link is the reason you can't get lynel weapons in totk because he scared them too much.
#Sorry lynels! I'm still going to farm you for your loot! Congrats on swallowing your pride enough to use hylian weapons though lol#Don't think I've even seen a blue lynel outside the floating coliseum. Found one in akkala and immediately went hunting for silver pelts.#It's actually hilarious how much the loz community has affected totk. Like there's glitches they've made features there's pranks they pull#There's lots of little changes they've made to the world and physics engine. Sometimes it's funny#Like rehydrated ganon and the new extra revealing outfits. Sometimes it's how elemental effects now continue through the weapon spin.#Sometimes it's assuming lynels just have bigger horns like the rest until you look closer and realised they enhanced them to be Extra Tall#They've started trying to posture like cats that 'totally aren't scared what' because the loz community is utterly terrifying XD#loz#legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#totk#loz totk#loz tears of the kingdom#tloz totk#tloz tears of the kingdom#totk lynel#lynel#botw lynel#botw#tloz#silver lynel#loz theory#long post#lmaooooooo

Okay so obviously you Cannot go through a giant vetting process for everyone involved in a post before you reblog it, Every Time. But you can do bare minimum stuff.
You see the red highlight around OP? That’s from my browser extension Shinigami Eyes. That highlight means op is a terf, and that reblogging their stuff gives them notes and exposure. I didn’t have to vet them for that to find out because I have the extension.
You don’t have to expend a bunch of energy. Get shinigami eyes. Block tags like #terfsdointeract, #lizardpeople, etc. And then you can know immediately upon seeing a post that it’s shit.
You don’t need twelve step bg checks. You don’t have to memorize all the dogwhistles. But you Can take steps to stop yourself from accidentally reblogging beginner bigot beliefs and blogs very easily.
#basic courtesy#bigotry#antisemitism tw#terf tw#for the tag examples#also hm i wonder if op has a reason for not wanting people to check op for quality#this is how terfs and every other type of bigot work#by their own admission#it's the small stuff-easy to swallow first#men are worse because they're Socially Conditioned to be that way#it's not their fault but they also can't help it#to they're biologically worse#to all men are horrid#to 'do you ever stop being a man though?'#and boom now you hate trans women and nonbinary amab#but if you can catch them at the beginning by knowing their dogwhistles#or just blocking a terf tag that their community put on it#boom you have the warning and u don't get sucked into their shit#yeah u can't do a brain scan on everyone who walks by ur house#but u can set up a fence and metal detector before u allow them in

ok I genuinely think @is-the-owl-video-cute has gone off the deep end. what makes you act like that on the internet for real. I don’t even have a real stock in this bullshit drama but they are just the most reactionary asshole to people? how can y’all look up to them they are genuinely so immature and pissy. they’ve been throwing a fit over users they personally dislike and using absolutely no proof at all to say they doxxed ppl. there’s like zero proof other than they don’t like them LMAO. can y’all log the fuck off please?? before someone actually gets hurt??
#is-the-owl-video-cute#yeah I’m tagging actually I hope ppl searching for drama see this and get a reality check#I saw that archived link what the actual fucking shit in hell were they thinking typing that?#they arent fucking animal murderers. they don't like the way scout handles their media presence or their farm#but that doesn’t mean they doxxed them and there is zero evidence to suggest as much. they’ve said they didn’t so like. nothing to go on.💀#(frankly also. scout and owlvid should be able to handle criticism and disagreements like normal fucking people#instead of flying off the handle literally every single time. like it’s a pattern)#I think both of them should just log off until they learn to handle this shit in a normal way#and without encouraging their impressionable followers to go on witch-hunts after ppl.#especially bc they don’t like it when it happens to them?? yet they say NOTHING when their followers start harassing ppl?? telling lol#I can’t stand it. y’all aren’t educators and you will never be the end all be all of every opinion you have. stop assuming such.#owlvid has had wildly inaccurate ‘facts’ about rabbits before but acting like they KNOW this shit is infuriating.#I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that every ‘is the x animal cute’ blog has gone to shit and up a creek though#just particularly disappointed in owlvid and scout for the way they’ve handled this#while KNOWING the amount of followers that would swallow their boots all the way their their head if they could#like. cmon. you can say you don’t know enough abt this subject to comment. it’s ok.#and I think scout should be able to handle and address criticisms abt their cows without losing it every single time like#I’ve never met a good farmer that can’t handle criticism for their animals. it’s part of the job you won’t please everyone#and if you are planning on being an educator you have to be able to handle those criticisms with a level head and understanding.#that’s not what owlvid OR scout do. they are influencers on a power trip.#if you want respect you have to give it. not one of the dreaded rabbit people have been disrespectful about their criticism.#it is not so the other way around and that’s telling as hell#the only time I’ve seen these apparently evil sadistic rabbit bloggers make sardonic or disrespectful (I guess?) comments is on their own#and when they’re frustrated about being labeled like they kick puppies for fun for being a fucking normal ass farmer lol#you’d think maybe scout would be able to get that. maybe not so much owlvid bc they don’t seem to understand rural animal care#for the record I’m not looking at any of these blogs involved with scrutinizing detail bc I have better things to do#but I have kept an eye on the situation w scout and animal control being called and how it got twisted into ‘doxxing and swatting’#by high strung ppl who should not have been online#I value my blood pressure too much the urge to just turn off my phone overcomes any desire to look through the drama

It doesn't happen much, and I wish it happened more often, 'cause I love when Vlad uses his Ghost Powers in his Human form. We get it a lot from Danny, but not enough from Vlad haha
#Danny Phantom#Vlad Masters#I don't know why I just love it#there's just something about the reminder that they're not human even when they *look* human haha#I know we probably don't see it as often just because we don't see *Vlad* as often#but I still wish we saw it more (I wish we just saw Vlad more in general though)#'cause he probably does it *way* more than Danny does without even thinking about it#consider Danny instinctively reaching *inside* himself to retrieve a spork he swallowed#he's only had his powers for maybe half a year at that point and using them instinctively is already ingrained into him#so what's it like for Vlad who's had his powers for *20 years*?

When Kaeya gives out hugs, they’re almost always a little too tight. If asked, he will answer it’s because he wants to test how sturdy they are or teasingly ask if his hugs are not to their liking and offer to never do them again. Really, he’s just microdosing on the sort of hug he craves without having to ask for it.
#hc; kaeya#//He wants the sort of hugs Crepus used to give#//The kind that are tight enough to make yer spine bones crack a lil bit and squishes the air from your lungs#//But are also just so WARM bc the person's putting their all into it; like they don't want to let you go#//LOVES those sort of hugs; misses them dearly#//He realized Diluc would probably be the only person who could possibly give them; of those he's comfortable with#//Him being so strong and all#//But Kae would rather DIE than ask him for one#//The answer would absolutely be no; he's well-aware of that#//So he'd rather spare himself having to swallow his pride and be vulnerable just to be turned away; thanks#//If by some miracle Diluc were to offer though; he might either bluescreen or make the man Regret it by NEVER LETTING GO for the next hour#//Prolly bluescreen and freak out; bc whO IN THE HECK IS THIS PERSON??? THIS AIN'T THE DILUC HE KNOWS-#//It's extremely wishful thinking and foolish to hope the man ever would though#//He really likes giving hugs to His People; would do so every chance he sees open#//Knows it makes Klee squeak a little when he does; the way he used to. He finds that adorable#//She's his favorite to hug for that reason; though he's careful not to crush her too much#//The moment she wants out; he's letting go and checking in on her#//Prolly spooked her the first time he did that; felt bad enough to take her for a sweet treat and explain why he hugs like that#//Klee alone would probably know it's bc he's mimicking Crepus#//He knew telling her would basically ensure the secret would be out; but he still makes her promise to keep it

who are your favorites from genshin and twst to write about? :o I feel like I know at least a few of the answers to both (cough cough. scara, octotrio) but maybe there's some more you really enjoy writing even if you don't write them often? and that being said.. are there any characters you'd like/want to write more for? :D
I do have many other favorite characters that I would love to write more for!! The scummy fish and Scaramouchey have a tendency to live rent-free within my head too much. orz
For Genshin, I like Aether, Albedo, Kaeya, La Signora (I miss her every day of my life. T_T signora, please come back...), Xiao, Childe, Dottore, and Kazuha! Lately Cyno and Yelan have been rising to the favorite spots as well, and I have been looking closely at Pantalone...
For twst, I like Riddle, Trey, Cater, Ruggie, Vil, Rook, Idia, Kalim, Lilia!! I also love Rollo and Neige a lot. :D
#chit chat#i really like signora childe scara trio#college au where the three of them are your friends and they're all obsessed with you#oh!!! or maybe one of them introduced you to the group#and maybe you're stuck under their thumbs because they're rich and help pay for things like college expenses#so you always feel so suffocated when their wealth is apparent#but aside from that you're happy to have a fun group of friends#signora always gives the best advice even if it's cold and hard to swallow at times#childe is always willing to accompany you to parties or other outings because he loves spending time with you#scara loves to study with you in the comfortable quiet of the library#though he usually teases you or distracts you from the main objective of studying and both of you lightheartedly bicker over random things#i don't think i have ever mentioned it but i like signora a lot orz she deserved so much better T^T

my poor advisor. I feel like a toddler madly scribbling dark and angry scenes in black crayon unable to focus on anything meaningful. I've just wasted 6 hr of my life and now I need to go to class and not waste more of my life and I don't want to do that either, even though this is objectively one of the best classes I'll be taking my whole career.
#I feel like the first 30 minutes of Boy and the Heron. And halfway through Wind Rises.#maybe I should have just rewatched boy and the heron twice today. that might've been a better use of my time.#ptxt#grief/depression makes me close down. I don't want to interact; I know it'll pass. The world is too beautiful.#But the pain needs to be swallowed.#My friend is going to take our encyclopedia set for his daughter though. That makes me really happy. I know Encyclopedias#are dated but they're a really nice set and I think they made me love research. I'd read them cover to cover like a nerd when I was little#at one point I printed out a bunch of dolphin and whale pictures and tried making collages.#I don't want them to go to a goodwill or Bookmans and sit on a shelf collecting dust. They should make a little girl a nerd.

#i feel like uhm#i've been avoiding how bad it was wrt the trauma in my upbringing. i want to move past all this. i want to be over it.#but watching my brother go theough this same process is making it very apparent to me that#ive been trying to jump from point a to point d as per usual and i haven't really been dealing with the reality of my feelings around this#i thought i was done with the anger. i want to be done with it. i want to stop grieving everything it's taken from me#so i can start taking back the life i have left#the Pain though. the inherent humiliation of being impacted.#i associate emotion with danger. to the extent that i will get very nervous and annoyed when people im with have emotions in public.#like ''don't draw attention!!!''#and i go through life just trying to swallow everything because i feel like the price of having emotions openly is to be attacked#and i don't mean openly just as in ''where other people can see''#it's outwardly expressing them AT ALL#i can go along keeping my head above water for so long before i can even identify what's had me in a chokehold

everyone seeing the new orbit hardcover editions of the witcher books come out
#'him' being sapko obv#HONESTLY... i dont really like them. JUST because they're inaccurate. but i like the art styles and the hardcover IS beautiful#but i don't want to uh... spread defeatism. as it were#yeahhh guys you should buy them ahaha ok now [runs for the exit door]#people need to buy the books because that's the only measure of 'how many people are into this thing' that we have lmao#other than that... mmm#like did they translate it better? ... seeing 'tower of the swallows' obviously not!#i would read the witcher on a bar paper napkin if it was a more accurate translation#i'm honestly just bitter because baptism of fire is the most inaccurate cover and it's my fave#so no geralt's company? so no milva? so no PEGASUS? [throws phone on ground]#also just the fact that i have four or more different copies of each book already i think i'm good i don't need another set please#i have like three fan translations of baptism of fire and of tower of the swallow so it's like living in a household with triplets#me: 'hey i just wanted to grab this quote' | quote: [translated three different ways] | me: ilysm. t hank you#unironically that though. give me context give me insight give me opinions. it's like going to three different doctors for a diagnosis#because i wish to eat a third donut#the elbow-high diaries

'yeah i'm totally trans-inclusive, as long as you don't expect me to remember that womanhood doesn't map tidily onto the ability to get pregnant [some women are postmenopausal! some women are infertile! some women don't have uteruses, and not even all of those women are trans!], or to ever frame anything in a way that isn't Men Vs Women As Antagonistic Binary! unbelievably insulting of you to suggest otherwise!'
#like was the OP of that post overtly T*RF-y when i clicked thru? no.#did their blog remotely suggest they cared at all abt trans ppl? also no.#did like half their posts talk abt Men as though there was no possible overlap ever between Men and Women? uh‚ yup!#like. this will be the last post abt this unless something else happens—i turned off anon asks finally bc fuck that—but it's just like#this isn't even abt 'careless wording' it's abt wording that's entirely consistent with the way the last many posts in yr blog frame things#and it isn't abt splitting hairs‚ it's abt having an accurate understanding of who these things affect#and not deciding that other ppl constitute sufficiently small fractions of the picture that you can just generalize them out of it entirely#which is a key piece of the master's toolset and will not dismantle the master's house!#like. to reiterate something i said privately earlier: swallowing the normative definition of Womanhood wholesale#is a terrible starting point from which to challenge the normative treatment of women#i'm a feminist and feminism is clearly still necessary but like#if you're going to slice off all the bits that don't fit neatly into the glass slipper... that's not any kind of feminism i want#or indeed recognize as feminism#like. sorry. if the 'language that's most convenient and accessible to you' is harmfully inaccurate…#*you're* the one who needs to work on your framing#it isn't fucking semantics. it's revealing real things abt yr worldview that harm and erase real women.#also like. if you're more insulted by the idea that a stranger didn't fully investigate you to find out whether the whiff of T*RF was Real#than by the reality that you're peddling rhetoric T*RFs use *all the time* to support their bigotry—you might in fact be exactly the bigot#you protest being labeled as! bigotry is worse than having someone say 'maybe a bigot‚ kinda smells like one' about you in passing!#truly too many tags i'm just mad.#(and unlike the blogger in question and their buds will not be venting by sending Nasty Ad Hominem Anons)#(so it's all just going right here.)#in conclusion no‚ i don't trust you to use cisnormative language bc you're 'TOTALLY going to come back and collect the rest of us later!'#you absolutely will not!#ugh. okay. enough.

How do you not go crazy with all these juicy gossip that you can’t share lol! Jk, the not knowing/guessing part is equally entertaining.
I repress everything and then I die
#People have been telling me crazy outta pocket shit since I was in elementary school#which is not exactly a good thing since a lot of them were confessing to fucked up shit I wasn't emotionally mature enough to hear#but! On the plus side#exposure to the most batshit insane things made it easier to just swallow shit and hoard it for safekeeping#It's not easy all the time though#Sometimes I'm like 'if I don't tell someone about this right now I'm literally going to die'#but then I wait for that impulse to pass file the information away and do not think about it again until/unless I need to lol#jack answers mail

Feminism has brainwashed people so much to the point that people think of men speaking about their own problems as "misogyny". Like????
#text#you could have dudes talking about how certain societal expectations emotionally harm them#and feminists are like 'yeah but women suffer more :/'#WHY ARE Y'ALL TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING A FUCKING COMPETITION#y'all be like 'but women have been oppressed and mistreated' yeah according the feminist revisionists of the 20th century#this is why feminism needs to be stopped. it claims to wanna help erase gender inequality but no all it does is create animosity between#the sexes. if we wanna be honest men generally do worse in life. women are more beloved and cared for than men are#but feminism has brainwashed women into seeing their sex as a burden on them and that they will always be victims no matter what that a man#talking about his own issues is seen as a problem. feminism does this crap to you#feminism has taught women to not see anything good in being a woman because that is a pathway to being treated like less than human which is#why they need to behave like a man or whatever. how the fuck is this ideology supposed to help women?? it tells them that they are WORTHLESS#i don't believe in the concept of 'male privilege'. it's based on a lot of bs specially when you consider the fact that men are generally#viewed as expendable and tools for society. so miss me with that nonsense. i hate that concept because of the fact that it's not based on#reality and in a way implies that women will always suffer because they have a vagina. this is what feminism tells women#when in reality we all suffer and go through hard stuff. this is not a competition#it seems as though that women suffer more because of feminism and also because women are far more vocal about their problems than men are#men are just told to swallow it and shut up about it. women are not told that#but as i said before. this is not a competition. we should help each other instead of discussing whether WomEN oR MeN suFFer mORe. god i#hate feminism. this is what it has done

It's a weird fucking feeling realising that you actually have to plan ahead for and schedule in the things you like to do, as well as the things you have to do.
I don't mean the complicated stuff, that's a given.
If I'm going to the cinema, then I accept I'm going to have to look up film times and buy tickets and figure out when I'm going to leave the house. If I'm going to visit a friend who lives in a different county, then I accept that I'm going to probably be looking up travel times and planning activities and where to eat and what time we'll be doing what, for possibly days beforehand.
But its even the fucking lowkey stuff. If I want to watch a tv show, I have to plan time out of my day to do it, and I don't always get round to it. If I have a whole day free for some reason, and I decide I want to watch a film (at home, on the sofa) and I don't lay out a plan for when I'm going to do that and how long I'm going to take, then it just won't happen.
If I want to go for a walk just around my local area before it gets dark, or eat something with a slightly longer cooking time, or write my diary, or read a book I've been looking forward to reading, or even read fucking fanfiction that is longer than about 8000 words, then I have to set some sort of plan beforehand.
Like, I know intellectually that executive dysfunction affects more than just the things you don't enjoy doing. But fuck it doesn't really hit you until you realise that you haven't sat down to watch an episode of that show you like for over a week, even though you can't really name any activities you've been doing or commitments you have that would make it impossible to do so.
Anyway, this is a reminder to people who struggle with that sort of thing: schedule your days off, lest they be swallowed by the Pit before you get the chance to do anything fun with them.
#executive function#autism#adhd#audhd#(i don't know if i actually have adhd or not#but i finally have an assessment booked for march!)
