I love three houses discourse because I'm pretty sure everyone just picks their route based on which house leader they're the most gay for and then tries to defend their pick by pointing out the other sides's war crimes via twitter memes. Reader, all four of them do substantial quantities of war crimes. So many. We're just here because the woman with Issues and a big fuck-off axe said so, and then we gotta justify everything she did in the name of dismantling the class system. I mean, I'm here for that, but you could also try justifying Charm Man uses poison and perfidy to try to stop racism, A Sad Little Meow Meow gives no quarter instead of doing therapy, or the Thicc Pope tries to bring back her mom via human experimentation, depending on your tastes

sorry I'm having thoughts because I haven't slept and when I don't sleep I have thoughts....................
I was thinking about Canon Suave Ganondorf again, and... I think what bothers me, beyond everything discussed, is that... it's not characterization? Like for example take Girahim, which I would argue is also a Sexy Villain. Him being a Sexy Villain is 1) a key factor of his presentation and double-edged creepiness, 2) has kind of a lot to do with his literal objectification and 3) is completely played as such, and Girahim himself has a lot of fun with his own theatrics. I don't mind Sexy Villains, they are a lot of fun and they can even be quite meaningful!
So I am not against Sexy Ganondorf by default. I feel like, if played honestly and not ashamed of its own conceit, it could be genuinely interesting! But I find kind of offputting that his sexualization happens almost exclusively extradiegetically. It's the camera leering, it's the clothes that, while really pretty and cool and interesting, do not actually inform us much about the character wearing them on screen, the behind-the-scenes tidbits that are just... not represented within the world of the game... And so, to me, where Girahim lands somewhere on the Bayonetta scale, TotK Ganon is kind of landing... I don't know, somewhere near "skimpy outfit worn by a character that would never wear something like this if given the choice, and the world doesn't ever question why she would and what that says about her"? I don't know if that makes sense, but, yeah. If you want him to seduce everyone, then. Do that. Make him active. Make him own that weird trait you decided to give him all of a sudden.
But again, given the game is deeply uninterested in Ganon as a person, but very interested as Ganon as an antagonistic object, it does end up feeling weirdly objectifying in that regard too.

If you were to make a character that had to be based on a Disney villain, which Disney villain would it be? 🥴
Don’t pressure me with that face i know you know i made some already but i’m giving a different answer!
Anyway, erm, if I were to pick someone else, I’d make an NRC staff member based off of Maestro Forte from that beauty and the beast christmas movie. You know that big, scary, tim curry mfer who was the most interesting part of that very strange movie. Like, look at him he’s terrifying. Perfect for a teaching job.
And he’d be NRCs music teacher. Which im gonna show now
shaking rn, sing “hello” to Professor Fugue. You better sing. You have to. He gets mad if you don’t.
for the twst ask meme

During making a gifset for today's chapter, I found this sentence.
Cosette had been taught housekeeping in the convent, and she regulated their expenditure, which was very modest.
Vol. 4, Book 3, Chpater 2.
The nuns taught her housekeeping which literally meaning chores and other houseworks. But thinking about her childhood, I think this class would be one of the most hard classes for her, bring back the bad memories of that horrible inn. What would you think about this?

11 - Courage
'Endon had realised by then that by his foolishness and blindness the people's last trust in him had been destroyed. The Belt would never again shine for him. All our hopes rested with his unborn child.'
DELTORA QUEST 1
The Forests of Silence
Ch 9 The Secret
im leaving this up to your own interpretation because i can't articulate thoughts and feelings rn, but generally this post is about endon finding it in himself to admit his mistakes and how he would decide to rectify them i.e. raising lief
