#either way I'm so hyped
Text
okay but like everyone saying that the title of Tears of the Kingdom is referencing all the trauma Hyrule has faced from the demise cycle n stuff make some real interesting points, but I don’t think that’s what the title is referencing at all.
Pretty much all Zelda titles have been pretty literal in some way, like ocarina of time references the physical ocarina of time, majora’s mask references an actual mask called majora, the wind waker the wind waker, four sword four sword, twilight princess the princess of twilight, spirit tracks has trains, skyward sword a skyward sword etc etc even Breath of the Wild is referencing the massive open world + freedom of movement which constitutes the main gimmick of the game. There are very few if any exceptions to this. They all reference a defining feature of the game, something concrete about the game that separates it from the others. Referencing the reoccurring trauma of hyrule...doesn’t really fit this bill, I think. It’s too vague, and applicable to pretty much any other zelda game.
I would wager that the tears reference a specific defining element of the game, something specific about the story or gameplay. In other words, I don’t think the tears are going to be a metaphor for something, like sadness or the longterm destruction of the kingdom, but rather actual physical tears.
I have three main ideas of how this could manifest:
1. We’re gonna get more sheikah lore.
It would make sense considering how much more they were elaborated on in botw. In fact, not only did botw provide pretty much the vast majority of the canon lore about the sheikah as of now, but it implemented many ideas that could definitely be elaborated on, such as the sheikah monks, the ancient technology, and the yiga clan. Especially considering how tears of the kingdom was originally supposed to be botw dlc but got too big for that, it makes sense that elaborating on some of these things would be the natural first step to build off of in tears of the kingdom.
But how does this connect to the title? The sheikah are the shadow folk who for generations served the hylian royal family. However, their symbol is an eye with a tear drop coming from it. I don’t think it is so absurd to imply that the sheikah themselves might be the tears of the kingdom.
considering how sheikah-centric botw was, I don’t think it’s too much of a leap to consider that tears of the kingdom would plunge even further into the lore behind them. And if the title isn’t referencing the sheikah themselves, it could still be referencing one of their technologies, such as...idk...
The TEAR DROP THING THAT UPGRADES THE SHEIKAH SLATE.
Like,,,, what is this magic goop stuff that powers all the sheikah technology??? WHAT IS IT??? and like IT’S A LITERAL MAGIC TEAR, I would not put it past nintendo at all to go “actually wait a minute what is this glowy blue shit, let’s make a dlc about that oops it got too elaborate”
which leads to my next proposition (which sort of connects to this one)
2. It’s drawing from those segments of Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess where link had to collect tears
many people have already proposed this but I haven’t really seen it connected to the first point I made yet so I’m proposing this anyway. So like, magic tears are not a new concept to zelda at all and there are probably many instances I’m forgetting of like random collectibles and potions but the two most prominent instances are in Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword where link is given a vessel to collect divine tears
and these vessels look miiiighty similar to
this thing link has on his hip that replaces the sheikah slate...
now, as I said I am far from the first person to notice this or even connect the title to the sheikah and I am sure someone else has made this connection before but I don’t care because I’m just having fun lol but like
this new vessel could be collecting something that is or is similar to the blue liquid powering sheikah tech, maybe even some kind of substance that predates it that was later turned into the blue sheikah goo (especially considering the prevalence of zonai symbology, and considering they were strong magic weilders, maybe the sheikah tech goo was based off of magic zonai goo??) but idk I’m just saying shit now.
But I think this is especially plausible considering just how much botw pulled from skyward sword, with the stamina mechanic and the glider basically being a souped up sailcloth, and now with tears of the kingdom straight up having souped up skyloft...it would make sense that the zelda team might also revisit the tear collecting mechanic and soup it up. But like what do I know because
3. In all honesty it’s entirely likely that there is no way to predict what the title means.
Yes, nintendo did say the title would contain spoilers, which would imply that it is possible to extrapolate something important about the game from it. However, the legend of zelda also has a habit of not giving two shits about precedence and going in whatever wild direction it wants regardless of what it has done or established before. Honestly, I think that’s one of the series traits that makes it so amazing, but it also makes it incredibly difficult if not near impossible to predict anything about its future. Like, back in the ocarina of time days, no one would have guessed that one day link would turn into a wolf, ride a talking boat, or fly on an enormous red bird. There was absolutely no precedence set for that lmao.
So while I am confident in my theory that the title refers to something physical that pertains to the specific game rather than something that connects all the games, as well as the likelihood that physical thing connects to the sheikah (+ by extension maybe also the zonai?) and their technology goo, and that the game is likely taking inspo from the tears collection mechanic from skyward sword and twilight princess, I have absolutely NO DOUBT that even if all of that turns out to be true, nintendo is going to do something really wierd and unexpected from there and it will be near impossible to guess what. And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.
(it also means my theory that link’s new glowy blue hand talks, has a personality, and has a personal, paper-related, vendetta is still on the table)
#Tears of the Kingdom#this isnt to shit on anyone saying it's referencing demise's cyclical curse on hyrule because that's a totally valid take#and it's totally possible that's going to be part of it#especially considering the ouroboros#and also because I could be totally wrong lmao#as I said nintendo likes to be surprising#it's all just theory rn#this is just my theory lol#either way I'm so hyped#the legend of zelda tears of the kingdom#botw2#I apologize to anyone who actually reads this#tloz#loz#the legend of zelda

#just me hi#could've just used the shorthand 'gay' but whatever honestly loll#𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯. my own kin...#so funny he said lumberjack physicist. two things i'll never be qualified for Hfbhss#and then i said he looked like a youtuber so i might have actually deserved that x10 now that i think abt it HFh#/and i was doing my typing lessons earlier and i had to type out the nato alphabet thing (idr what it's called lol)#i said 'alphaaa..' outloud and my sibling says 'oo who are you texting ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)' 'your girlfriend'#and that Wasn't my fault i was in the middle of some horrible dire straits (i missed the letter P six times in a row <33)#leo if you're reading this. uhhh you were asking for it‚ sorry ! <333#//in other news i am working on p.space again !!#rewriting Agaaain lol :>#'rewriting' i say as this is the 4th comic rendition i've made#though i want to do a sort of blend between comic and just writing. i just gotta figure out How i'm gonna go about that :3#i also really wanna write rn so i'm gonna go do that!!! actually super excited to do that#i know full well i probably won't do much but hyped either way :DDD#so on my way now !!!

honestly what's disappointing to me about cy2 is simply the fact that it's another new book that i know won't immediately hook me or keep me excited for every new update like psi or hell or high water did when they came out, especially because it's been this way for several updates now. like there was a time where we could always count on new books being interesting and exciting but now it's just like oh... another one...
#romance club#i miss being hyped about new books 😔#that's the whole thing for bc i won't read cy2 or waste my time feeling any type of way about it tbh#never continued the first book and i don't like ursa as a writer or a person lol#so i'll just be in my chill indifferent corner <3#unless the book turns out to be good or something which ??? not really counting on it#i don't think this is necessarily a bad sign tho#rc have a right to experiment w sequels and it's expected if they think there's revenue potential in it#hs2 has been successful from what i can estimate#so this isn't surprising and it doesn't necessarily mean a shift in rc's priorities#if it goes in the wayside i'm sure they'll just switch gears and we'll see how things go either way#shut up jen

new raid description: "haunting" huh... this is how Nezarec can stil-*shot by Bungie sniper*
I'm the sniper. HJFKJSHFKJSHF
On a more serious note, it's really interesting that they updated the raid description. Like, it's driving me insane, especially since other raids didn't get that. Vow stayed the same the entire time for example, and told us quite a lot about the location being the Pyramid. Original for Lightfall:
New description:
That seems like a lot of information, but also it tells us nothing conclusive. The "haunting presence" stayed the same. The rest is super vague and could mean a number of different things.
"Unknown time and place" seems to indicate something to do with the Vex. But it could also mean something related to the Nine or whatever Elsie is doing to go through timelines or whatever is the power of the Witness or something entirely new. We don't know enough about Neomuna and what they've been dealing with. Also "ferried" is interesting. It implies that something is being brought in, not that it shows up on its own.
The original description says that this threat is "within" something redacted. I think that indicates a new location, or at least something they didn't want to detail during the initial reveal. But the new description doesn't add to it much outside of saying "growing at our doorstep."
"Growing" is an interesting word given the recent flood of egregore infested spaceships. "At our doorstep" could mean near Earth or near Neptune or even just a general near our entire solar system or near our dimension/timeline. The later seems to be closest so far, given the "unknown time and place."
I would love to see Nezarec in full glory, but also I genuinely don't want us to rethread old stuff. Nezarec is dead. He can whisper to people through his relics and that's about it. I want to know more about his actions and ultimate fate in the Collapse as that's important for us to know how to fight against the Pyramid ships, but I don't think we have to fight him again personally. More so because he failed as a disciple and died. From what we know right now, there is no reason for the Witness to entertain him again or for him to be described as coming from "unknown time and place." Obviously, super wild plot twists notwithstanding. This would obviously be super cool. I'll be the first in line to scream from joy if that happens.
I'd definitely prefer something new for the raid though. Vow really spoiled me tbh. But also, if we're bringing back something known, I would like something we haven't explored before, but that's relevant for the future. Like the Nine! The Nine are known to be coming from weird dimensions and trying to grow life out of nothing, for example, which I would much rather see explored as it's something we've been in the dark about for the entire duration of the game.
Another issue is that while I think the "unknown time and place" could signify Vex, we already have 2 Vex raids. So is it likely to get another? It could also be that the new raid has multiple enemy types so it's not all Vex. We currently don't have an active raid with the Uluran and Calus is known to like to dig around dangerous stuff.
I think guessing what the raid will be about is pretty much impossible. Outside of Crota's End and King's Fall (it's in the name for them), we've never really known what any of the raids would be about and who would be the final boss. I think that makes is more exciting! And speculation is super interesting as well. I remember speculation around Vow and how incredible it was to see that it has nothing to do with anything we've seen before.
But I also know that speculation can sometimes lead to disappointment. Some people are still salty to this day that Deep Stone Crypt didn't have "giant Exo Clovis" as a raid boss as if there was anything indicating that it would be the case. People just kinda wanted that to happen, despite Clovis' story not being nearly close to ending so killing him in a raid wouldn't have made sense. So definitely keep on speculating (and feel free to comment what you'd want to see from the raid!), but also keep in mind that we're most likely entirely in the dark and don't bet your enjoyment on any specific theory. There's so much we don't know and we could get another super cool surprise with something totally unknown!
#destiny 2#lightfall#lightfall raid#ask#long post#i have trauma from people hyping up DSC as having clovis as the boss ngl. LMAO#so i'm here telling people not to get too hyped for any specific raid boss despite the fact that i definitely want to see a certain discipl#but also there's so many other wild possibilities so i'm fine either way#can't wait to get there and go through it on day one

You got me into Detective Grimoire and Tangle Tower and now we're getting The Mermaid's Tongue!! aaaaaaa!!! When do you think we'll be getting it? I hope it'll be earlier half of 2024 because I'm so excited for it!!
aaaa it makes me really happy knowing people have gotten into detective grimoire through me, it's such a good series so i'm glad it's getting more eyes on it! i think it's really cool that a lot of the recent attention the game has gotten on tumblr seems to be a result of word of mouth / artists getting into the game, ( i actually deiced to play tt because someone i already followed kept sharing allie's hawkshaw au and that got me curious about the game. ) hopefully, the fandom will be even more active soon thanks to a new game coming out. i'd love to see that!
as to when i think it'll come out, i'm also hoping for an early 2024 release since i'm impatient and want to play it as soon as possible. still, there's a lot of work that goes into creating games and i obviously don't want them to rush it out so i'm willing to wait however long it takes for them to polish the game. i'm thinking late spring / early summer at the earliest or early fall at the latest.
#there's a part of me that wants to snoop through the demo's files to help gauge how much is done#but that feels... wrong since the full game isn't out yet so i'll be a man of honor and not do that#honestly i wasn't expecting sfb to announce a new dg game yet since crow country isn't out yet#that'll probably effect when mermaid's tongue gets released too now that i think about it#well either way i'm excited and don't know what to do with myself now#i was gonna play psychonauts but uh i'm too distracted now maybe i'll try drawing instead#mermaid's tongue hype train#<- i don't wanna spam the dg tag but still want to let ppl mute me being annoying so here's a tag for my hype ramblings#asks#mj.txt

i'm yet to actually watch (puella magi star kaomoji) madoka magica (will probably do after my final exams week) but i feel like i can say that with homura's speech about love being "more passionate than hope and deeper than despair" and turning into literal devil just to make the "girl she loves" happy and safe...
either those two are lesbians or they have a very very extremely devoted friendship. because i swear to God.

After 2 days of sitting around the hospital for 8 hours and sporadically doing a few tests they finally did the one test I went there for (a spinal tap). Tbh it wasn’t as bad as I was afraid of but damn I am really starting to feel my lower back. I am definitely not dealing with homework today. Hopefully it’ll be better tomorrow cause I still need to buy a christmas gift and I want to go to the christmas market and drink some punch.👀 Maybe get a new fancy hat. We’ll see, but I think I deserve to spoil myself a little.
#personal#i don't a diagnosis yet and they said the results will still take a few weeks#so I'll hopefully be left alone for a little bit#and thankfully i didn't have to another mr which absolutely sucked#but on the other hand that also means that they don't find the pre diagnosis of ms that unlikely#but hey we'll see not like I can change it#i am in a strangely calm emotional state at the prospect#i'm not sure if I'm legit relaxed about it or if it just hasn't sunk in yet#so i have decided to just ignore it and enjoy my vacation#this post is mostly to spell it out for me and also be my own poor little meow meow about my ouchie back#but either way I'll get cheddar fries today and I am hyped let me tell you that shit is delicious

a great time juxtaposing "helen" by joe iconis with "centerfold" by the j. geils band
#if you've listened to dad rock '70s-median'd stations you've probably heard it. charting single. the: ((my) angel is the) centerfold one#it's juxtaposable in good ways and interesting ways lol there's plenty enough to Compare & to Contrast re: either song#actually i'm already like holding myself off from starting to go on about specifics lol#a situation i have a lot of thoughts; i Was writing them out the other night but it turned into the lengthily typed & posted thoughts about#metastory in pentiment & iphigenia crash land falls instead lol....#so feel free to just partake of the exercise yourself#had a great time revisiting both songs even knowing them both already / hearing them multiple times#enhanced appreciation or delighted like ''oh right [this element] yay''#centerfold? more charming than i remembered actually lol like oh nice yeah that one line does a lot#and i'm always hyped abt the [i don't even know the instrument or term for the musical part] like synth whatever line in the verse to#chorus transition. there's a lot of ''nice im liking that'' elements such that this Isn't just ''helen is like if centerfold didn't suck''#meanwhile it's an enriching time to be thinking more abt all the elements & effects in helen too#you Know i'm revisiting my slipped into pocket will roland performance lol. no antoinette perries season now i gave it to him obv#only category that exists is [youtube recordings of live cabaret i have saved on my laptop of will roland performing helen]#and guess what tonys? it's nongendered.#joe iconis

Ghosts are the most efficient and financially feasible way to staff a space craft. In space travel every kilogram of food, equipment, and personnel costs a fortune in fuel, minimizing weight is always the biggest goal next to safety and function. Ghosts? Weightless.

I am CONFLICTED, because I don’t even know if I’m going to watch The Last Episode on October 23. Because on one hand, my beloved is back, I am mentally scrawling hearts with his name in them on the inside of my brain, and also we get more interactions between the Complex Friend(??)ship of All Time; but on the other hand, I absolutely cannot watch footage of 13/Y*z be canon on my screen, I will actually lose all of my remaining brain cells.
#I REFUSE#this '''''romance arc''''' is actually making me dislike 13 and when I say that hurts me......#I actually do like this era a lot!!! so of course I want to watch its send off#but I'm just...I can't do it y'all#I would consider just waiting until it's over to see how bad it is and then choose whether or not to watch accordingly#but I know that The Discourse™ and spoilers will be unavoidable and the fandom is going to be /insufferable/#and I do NOT have the energy to deal with that#(I say that like I have any faith that cbnll will end their story WITHOUT them being Together™ in any way)#(because. he will. the fandom wants it so he'll cave because that's what all creators do)#(I know that because the executive producer OUTRIGHT SAID that this '''''''''romance arc'''''''''' wasn't ever planned)#(and that it only came about because they heard about how popular with the fans it was)#(which.
