Thinking about how Link was just 12 when he found the Master Sword…

I think the worst part is that he just had to wait? It wasn't like he was already on a journey and finding the sword was just another task to complete, he just had to sit with the (literal) sword of damacles hanging over his head for years. Imagine the permanent stress from knowing that at any moment, you might be called upon to save everyone you know. You'd never be able to fully relax and you'd be in a constant state of tension and readiness. No wonder he stopped speaking when he had the eyes of the kingdom and the threat of a world ending apocalypse happening at some unknown point in time. Could be today, could be tomorrow, could be 10 years from now. Don't ever let your guard down.

Grabbing a sacred sword when your world is already turned upside down and you're on an adventure to save the world is one thing, but when everything else is otherwise fairly normal except for you, the harbinger of bad vibes, then your life is so very different. Being the Hero isn't an adventure that falls into your lap, it's all you are and have ever been.

This is more inspirational than I think it was originally intended to be

shipping characters who are just friends in canon is more than okay but what’s annoying is when people take screenshots of them touching and say “friends don’t do that!”. i hate to break it to you but friends do hug and hold hands and cuddle. saying ‘friends don’t do that’ is reenforcing the idea that physical touch is reserved for lovers

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.
