Ok this has been bothering me all day. I saw a post talking about how Rauru and Sonia did more for Zelda than Rhoam did and… I’m once again going to defend Rhoam, cuz that’s a very unfair thing to say and a horrible comparison to make.

Rauru and Sonia helped Zelda with her time powers and learning about the secret stone. Rhoam didn’t help her with her sealing power. Why? Cuz he has no magic and he clearly wasn’t the one who had it. Her mother was the one who had the power and was the one to teach her. Rhoam had no idea what he was doing, he didn’t understand the magic, and he hoped that if she dedicated her life that it would awaken so that the calamity wouldn’t destroy their home.

Well he should’ve tried to help her anyways right? Well, yes it’s easy to say that, unfortunately Rhoam was put in a very bad position of being king with the looming threat of the APOCALYPSE!!!! I think it’s implied that Rhoam married into the family, since his wife had the sealing power from the blood of the goddess or whatever, and seeing how he’s Hylian, he wasn’t a prince from another kingdom since all other kingdoms in this world have small round ears. For all we know, he was a prince consort who was never raised to be king. We don’t know what he was doing before, but with his wife’s sudden death and the responsibility of protecting his kingdom, he didn’t make the right choices. Which isn’t an excuse, but in his position, it’s an explanation. Rauru and Sonia didn’t have an apocalypse threatening to happen, in fact, they were in an era of peace and the future seemed bright. Of course they had time to hang out with Zelda and have tea parties with her. They seemed to be relaxed and having fun, which makes sense seeing how there didn’t seem to be much of a threat to their kingdom, minus Ganondorf, but I don’t think either of them saw him as a huge threat, seeing how they were absolutely blindsided by him.

It’s implied in AOC that Rhoam shouldered all of the responsibilities of the kingdom, and it seemed that he was under a significant amount of pressure during the calamity. And I feel like he mostly did that so Zelda could focus on awakening her power. She didn’t seem to have many responsibilities as princess save for awakening her power and helping out the champions. She is barely 17 so it makes sense that she’s not ruling the kingdom, but I do feel like Rhoam did all that stuff so she could focus on the calamity itself. And I’m sure in his stress he grew frustrated whenever Zelda focused more on the machines than awakening her power. Which was not the right thing to do, but come ON the world is literally about to end and the ONLY piece of the puzzle they need is Zelda!!! Some people forget that she HAD to awaken her powers otherwise the world was going to be destroyed! And it almost was cuz they were awakened too late! They were in such an unfair situation! And it’s not fair to compare him to Rauru and Sonia who were not in the same situation he was in, who were lying around in the grass and drinking tea because the calamity wasn’t there.

Rhoam is such a well written character that acts the way you’d expect someone in his situation to act. And he has so much regret over some of the things he’s had to do to protect Hyrule. You can read it in his journal where he finally gives up and desires to act more like a father to Zelda, you can see it when he takes Terrako away from Zelda, and you can see it when he’s a ghost 100 years after everything is destroyed. He’s so guilty but he did what he thought was best so that Zelda could not have a throne to nothing, so that Hyrule will be safe. And there’s a lot of things he could’ve done better, but people don’t act rational under that much stress. Like come on, would you? Don’t lie you absolutely wouldn’t.

And this post isn’t meant to diss on Rauru and Sonia, I like them in their own ways. But it’s kinda dumb whenever people love complex characters and then turn around and hate on characters like Rhoam and make them completely one-dimensional when they’re not. Y’all are completely unfair to Rhoam.

yeah im a writer. no you can’t find my writings anywhere because what i actually do is craft hoards of neat little snippets and then sit on them like a dragon

My biggest pet peeve is when people aren’t blunt with me when they want to do something sexual, and I don’t mean just opening a message super explicitly, I mean when I’m talking to somebody and instead of respectfully trying to start a sexual conversation they beat around the bush about it, or they try to fish for me to say it. Like baby I will totally sext with you, or hook up, or whatever if you just ask me but if you try and make me guess that that’s what you want it kind of turns me off.

Please please please please please ask for what you want, it’s hot, I like it, it’s not going to make anything weird.

I think it’s time we address the argument that constantly gets brought up when it comes to Daniel - that he is not an adaptable driver

It’s a point that mclaren (esp Zak) constantly exploited last year to justify his exit and one that apparently came about based on his two years at Renault

I don’t agree with the whole narrative that he didn’t perform well in his first year at renault because he wasn’t used to the car when he actually outscored his teammate who had been with the team before him. What if he was already getting the maximum out of a bad car and his 2020 performance was not only down to him driving the wheels off the car but also Renault actually working with him to give him the car he needs. Which truly, kudos to Cyril and his team. They knew there was a reason they spent 25mil to get a race winner and they knew they better listen to him when it came to feedback.

For whatever reason mclaren decided to get a driver of Daniel’s calibre and refused to listen to what he had to say about the car. They knew Daniel had a particular braking style which would not gel well with their car but they signed him irrespectively. Yeah Daniel did badly in mclaren. It’s a fact. The evidence is in the data, but I feel that it’s incorrect to say he didn’t try to adapt. He’s not some magical unicorn that he could just drive the car off the bat. It’s ignoring that he won a race in 2021 and he was much closer and even outscored Lando in the second half of the season. Because he worked to adapt to the car even if that meant forgetting his natural style of driving that made him fast and picking up weird habits

The thing about 2022 for me is that he didn’t get a chance to adapt to the car. The first 2 races were a dud because the car was nowhere and he basically got ordered to not overtake Lando in the most strange way at his own home gp. Then they go to imola and he has that first lap incident in the rain with Carlos and then the problems in qualifying in Miami which truly ends his weekend. Then it was downhill from there.

If you ask me to pinpoint the exact time when McLaren started their campaign against Daniel, for me it’s somewhere between imola and Miami cause I remember clearly Daniel going on the daily show and McLaren not posting about it when they somehow found the time to post Lando’s selfie from his brother’s wedding? Then of course Monaco comes around and the whole exit clause comments form Zak.

Meanwhile Daniel was digging deeper and deeper trying to find what’s not working and getting further away from finding a solution while the rest of them sat back without doing anything waiting for him to trigger his exit clause all while Zak brown was playing Russian roulette with his seat.

So yeah he never stood a fighting chance to make 2022 work

Disclaimer: this isn’t directed to anyone on here. I just need to get it out of my head.

I’m getting really sick of seeing people fawn over Ghost, but then needing to mention how disappointed they were when they saw Sam Roukin because he’s “ugly,” “looks like Mark Zuckerberg,” etc. Like where is y’all’s tact? What do you get out of calling a man ugly when he has done literally nothing but give life to this character you so claim to love?

And furthermore, since it matters so much I guess, Sam Roukin is not Simon’s face. Ghost does not have a “canonical” face at all.

“But-but Sana!!” you cry, “They motion captured his face! And Ghost’s eyes are modeled after his!” Well, yeah. Duh. They need to get the facial movement under the mask and Sam’s eyes are big and expressive; aka good eyes for a character where that’s the only feature you can see. But his face is not Simon’s.

So, you can still head canon Ghosty as your little pretty anime boy (def doesn’t look like that btw) or whatever. But being rude for no reason is so unnecessary. Sam is a normal fucking dude with feelings. Maybe remember that when you feel the need to passively call him ugly whenever you’re talking about how hot and sexy Ghost is. Shit just pisses me off.

list of things the writers could have used to develop jonathan but they forgot he existed:

Show Jonathan applying to colleges. Show his excitement of applying to NYU. Show him setting up his portfolio.

Bring back more domestic Jonathan. Bring him back doing household chores and worrying over his mom and Will. Show the stress and pressure he most likely feels and how he’s trying to hide that from his family.

Show Jonathan’s anger. His family is a very sensitive topic for him, let him get his frustrations out in a healthy way. Show how he regrets what happened with Steve.

Speaking of, let Steve and Jonathan be friends.

Show that Jonathan is more than Nancy’s boyfriend!!! Because he is!!!

Show Jonathan’s other passions like his music taste, his photography, how he’s a good cook, etc.
