Because tumblr ate it the first time
This is Not a Place of Honor âą
Death to Nostalgic stuff. "Gosh Score you've got a lot of OC stuff why don't you ever post it" haha well you see. I forget sometimes. And also anxiety
This is Desiderium, the embodiment of Nostalgia and a primal force in the storyline, big hulking thing that's inspired by dead malls and abandoned places. (Huge shoutout to @boct-kimerakal for designing this guy as a custom for me <3)
Since there will be times when they are out of fairies and potions, here are my headcanons for how much training and/or experience the LU boys have with first-aid and other sorts of medical treatment.
In order from highest to lowest:
Sky and Warriors: These two have, at some point their lives, been sat down in a room with other people with an instructor telling them "Sometimes people will be hurt and it will be your job to fix them, here's how." Between the two, I think Sky got more in-depth instruction (a Knight of Skyloft is basically a lifeguard), but Wars has gotten more practical experience. Either one is a good man to have on hand if you have a non-fatal arrow in your torso.
Time and Twilight: These are the two the fandom is really sleeping on when it comes to battlefield medicine, and here's why. What do they do when they're not hero-ing across time and space? They're ranchers. As in...they raise livestock. Livestock has a bad habit of getting itself injured and/or sick, so any successful rancher picks up some basics of veterinary medicine, and here's the really neat part...veterinary medicine is often generalizable to human patients. Disinfecting wounds, splinting bones, and diagnosing minor illnesses works about the same no matter what kind of mammal you're dealing with.
Legend: Experience, baby. With at least five adventures under his belt, he'll have absorbed a fair amount of practical knowledge just from necessity. And his broad travels will have exposed him to multiple different bodies of knowledge from different cultures, which might patch a few gaps in what the rest of the Chain knows.
Wind: A specialist. In cases of water inhalation, sunburn, rope burn, incidental nausea, or any other ailment heavily associated with sea travel, he's your guy. Beyond that, he's still learning. Give him a break, he's only 13.
Wild: No one gets by in the wilderness without knowing how to patch up various cuts and scrapes and stabilize sprained joints. That said, his recklessness works against him here. He's the most likely to be walking around with a small stick broken off in his shoulder and thinking nothing of it, and if you have a small stick broken off in your shoulder he's certainly not going to point it out and ruin your afternoon.
Hyrule: A lot of fans like to make him the backup medic (or even the main medic) because of his Life spell, but I think it would have the opposite effect. Rulie did the standard "young hero learning basic first-aid through a combination of incidental tips from wise old men in caves and personal trial and error," but once he gained the ability to just heal himself magically, he started to rely on that and his skills atrophied.
Four: Like Wind, he's a specialist--he knows what to do for burns of all different severities (it was part of his forge training). Unlike Wind, he's fairly sheltered beyond that. Four is a city boy who hasn't done a whole lot of traveling in his adventures and his first instinct when someone is hurt is to call an actual doctor. He has the same grounding in first-aid as the rest of them, but his temperament sometimes betrays him in an emergency.

Several days ago, I was banned from the Linked Universe Discord server. And in fairness, I did break the rules. Repeatedly. But not, mind you, out of disdain for the rules, or the community, or the mods. The rules were not ideal for me, but I made a concerted attempt over the course of a few years to adapt to them and fit in...an attempt which, obviously, I ultimately failed.
But the thing is, I feel like I was lowkey set up to fail. The LU Discord server is not a well-moderated community. It is an extensively moderated community, to be sure, but I think we can all agree that more =/= better, and now that the place is behind me, I want to get my criticisms out in the open.
Criticism the First: The rules are strict, but poorly defined. The list of prohibited topics is both long and vagueâone category of disallowed content is, I shit you not, âanything NSFW.â That is not an objective descriptor. Whose workplace are we using as the standard? I have been in workplaces with actual nude pinups hanging on the walls and I have been in workplaces where you werenât allowed to cuss. Some people think open queerness is too spicy for a professional setting! You canât rely on a presumption of broad consensus if rules are going to be applied fairlyâyou have to be straightforward and specific. No sexual explicitness in images or conversation. No nudity. No drugs or alcohol. Spoiler-tag any images containing visible blood.
(One of my previous, temporary penalties was for making reference to, quote, âhuman trafficking.â They told me this was a prohibited topic. Neither the phrase âhuman traffickingâ nor any synonymous term appears in the list of prohibited topics, so I am left to assume that it is considered âNSFW.â But how was I to know that ahead of time?)
(For this final, permanent ban? My offense was, apparently, âunkindness.â It doesnât get much vaguer than that.)
Criticism the Second: There isnât much transparency surrounding enforcement of the rules. At no point during any instance where I was disciplined for rule-breaking was I directed to a venue where I could get clarification of the rules directly from the mods, and as far as I was ever able to tell, no such venue exists on the LU server. There is a âhelpâ channel where you can get clarification on things such as the purpose of each channel, but asking about rules always seemed to be met with mild suspicion, as if the mods assumed the only reason someone would have such questions is in order to play âIâm not touching youâ with the boundaries.
There is no visibility when someone has been dinged for rule-breaking. The offending post is simply deleted, and the poster temporarily or permanently banned, with no public-facing explanation that people might learn from before they trip over the rules themselves.
There is no transparency regarding who made all these rules in the first place, why they settled on this particular set of rules, or whether they are still in a position of authority on the server. There is no avenue for politely questioning the rules and whether they serve the best interests of the community.
Criticism the Third: Moderation of rule-breaking is typically delayed by several days and handed down without warning. I canât think of an instance where they had to ding me and I knew immediately why, because of this gap between offense and consequences. After I was banned, a friend of mine who is still a member looked up every conversation I participated in for the previous full week, and we found nothing worse than some mild snark. So either the snark is what did itâwhich is a terrible way to run a community where people are supposed to have casual conversationsâor I did something worse but they didnât bother to do anything about it for over a week.
Moreover, I only ever found out that I had broken the rules when I got officially dinged. No mod ever stepped in and said "Hey, just so you know, this is getting close to/crossing a line." At least once, posts of mine were deleted and I flagged down a mod and asked if it was because of a rule violation, but don't you think that's the sort of thing they should proactively tell you about?
Criticism the Fourth: There is no clear and immediate way to distinguish between a mod speaking as a mod, and a mod speaking simply as a member of the community. For contrast, I am a poster on a message board where when the mods need to moderate, they can put their words inside a conspicuous frame, color-coded to indicate the severity of the intervention (purple if itâs a polite warning, red if itâs laying down the law in a more severe way). I donât know if Discord supports that sort of thing, but there must be something that could be done in a highly visible way so that it is plainly obvious when a mod is enforcing the rulesâa mods-only emoji, perhaps? In a rapidly moving conversation, if a mod intervenes without flashing their badge of office, so to speak, their words can get lost in the shuffle and they might jump to the conclusion that they are being ignored, to no oneâs benefit.
Criticism the Fifth, and this is where I really hope someone from that server sees this, because it is objectively bad and should not be done: They use cutesy terms to describe penalties for rule-breaking. The message I always got for temporary restrictions on posting was that I had been âsmited.â First of all...there is no such word as âsmited.â The past tense of smite is smote, and the past participle is smitten (yeah, the same word as having a crush on someone). Bad grammar is no way to evince authority. But thatâs secondary to the main objection, which is that you should not be cutesy when disciplining a community member for rule-breaking. Itâs downright unprofessional! And I know the mods are not professionals, but volunteers, but how do they expect people to take the rules seriously when they seem to treat it like a game via the language they use?
I will not be appealing my ban. There is no point. Clearly I do not fit into that community, at least not intuitively. And that seems to be the actual requirement: intuitive and instinctive adherence to community standards that might as well be invisible for how easy they are to bump into without meaning to. I wonât deny that I failed to read the room...but I was not, to torture the metaphor, provided with a copy of the room printed in my native language.
...look this was originally going to be a fun spooky Halloween Green dressed up as Frankenstein's monster because "haha the pop culture version of the monster is often depicted as green."
Then I thought about it too hard and it became OG Link "the canonical ending of the manga is a tragedy" angst
[image ID:] a cartoon rat drawn in sepia tones, with a crown made from a bottle cap and pie cut eyes [end ID]
got the urge to draw the other day and looked at my list and the Rat King from my friend's fanfiction Ink is Thicker than Water stood out as being fun and simple to draw. note that this character doesn't show up until later in the fanfiction and doesn't show up terribly often, but i mean? how can you not love this little guy!
interesting tidbit is that this was drawn entirely with my left hand, which is normally the strength hand, while my right is better at dexterity. drew the lineart one day and then colored it another and didn't feel like going back to do more with the lines. there was no sketch, only control + z lmao. so uh. there's totally another arm there don't worry about it lol

This does not even begin to cover the weirdness of cathode ray televisions.
They are literally particle accelerators that you point at your face.
And for eighty years, Americans' favorite thing to do was turn them on and stare at them for hours.
If you overcharge them, they emit gamma radiation.
Servicing them is like disarming a bomb -- their capacitors are enormous and are usually charged to hundreds or thousands of volts, and most of them have no bleed system that drains that charge, meaning that they can still be dangerous months or years after the last time they were powered up. A discharge can not only electrocute you, it can cause tools to melt or explode.
A black-and-white cathode ray TV driven by an unmodulated analog signal is theoretically capable of resolution that would require a microscope to perceive.
Back when, I worked at a small whitebox pc manufacturer. One day, a service tech brought back an older, gigantic (30 inch or so) AutoCAD monitor from a service call. The customer said "Made me feel nauseous"
So, we put it on the bench and fired it up. You immediately felt the hair on your body stand up, and my co worker put his hand up close to turn the power off, and his hand and forearm started spasming - I yanked the power cord from the wall as the tingle I was feeling began to feel hot.
No idea what was wrong with the thing, but it was kicking out some serious electro magnetic radiation.
Remembering the almost imperceptible high pitched buzzing that let you know the tv was still on even when nothing was on the screen. Also putting your forearm near the screen and watching the hairs stand up
I liked to turn the back of my hand to the screen, right after it was turned off, and pet the static with the little hairs on the backs of my fingers. It felt soft and fluffy.
one of the reasons CRTs are such a hotbed of glitch videography is that unlike modern monitors that block irregular signals, CRTs don't have an opinion about the signal you feed into them. they will display anything. and if you've ever done glitch work with a video modulator or such, you know what it's like negotiating with a living beast. the images you can get are often unpredictable and impossible to reproduce even with the same settings on your hardware, because it's just electricity. there is something magical and strange about the cathode ray tube and when you play with them enough you really remember why The Ring fucked people up so bad. samara climbing out of an HD flat screen is a laughable image; but her climbing out of an old school boob tube? yeah man, i believe it. there's fucking demons in that thing
"i unfollow if our media interests no longer align" I still follow moots haven't spoken to in years and have learned the entire story of deltarune, mouthwashing, that one ninjago lego show, continuations of media I havent been into since 2018 and many others. I don't need a summary of something I just need Mutual to be insane about it on my dash
these are my mutuals I call them 'advertisement' and 'propaganda' and 'newspaper' and their job is to flood my dash with posts that have no root in my current interests. for enrichment
cinderella remake set in 1880s san francisco where cinderella is a chinese immigrant with bound feet and also sheâs a butch lesbian and the prince is a butch lesbian too but sheâs a paris-educated german-american socialite and a darling of the transatlantic arts and literary world so the connotations of her gender nonconformity are completely different. oscar wilde is there
cinderella (english name her employer gave her taken from a bad gloss of her chinese name) went to america one ship ahead of the rest of her family to join her father, who was supposed to have built his fortune working on the transcontinental railroad, but when she got there she found her father had died and the company kept all his earnings, and the chinese exclusion act has come down behind her and sent the rest of her family back at the harbor. as her familyâs only remaining foothold outside of their drought-stricken hometown, she decides to step into the role of her father and earn money for the rest of her family so they can have a place to come if and when the act is lifted. she would do hard labor if she could, but with her bound feet she canât work anywhere outside of a laundry that horribly mistreats its employees. cinderella wants to form a union, but without financial backing and media attention their boss will just fire them all and hire a batch of willing scabs.
meanwhile the prince is the beau of high society, but her parents, whose sensibilities and experiences as german jewish immigrants make them far more scandal-averse than their flamboyant child, desperately want her to settle down and marry and please stop picking girls up in bars itâs getting difficult to keep your name out of the papers. they give the prince an ultimatum: either you can get married and become someone elseâs problem, or weâre cutting you off completely. the prince has proven severely allergic to all forms of matchmaking and has no romantic prospects that last longer than a week, so to sweeten the pot (from the parentsâ perspective) or twist the knife (from the princeâs) they throw a grand coming-out ball with invitations open to all of san francisco. the prince shows up to the ball supremely unhappy and looking for oscar wilde to liven up the place, when she catches sight of a gorgeous guest certain to stir up some drama: cinderella, who had stolen a suit from the laundromat, borrowed a walking stick, and stuffed menâs shoes with newspaper to find a sponsor at the ball. the two meet, and itâs mutual benefit at first sight.
the bargain goes as such: the prince will support cinderellaâs efforts to organize a union if cinderella shows up to every event the prince is invited to and makes a whole act of their seduction and forbidden love. the prince will never learn cinderellaâs real name; from the union side, the prince will deal with the chinese laundressâs union as a body, and from the society side cinderella will always appear as âmr. chan,â and if anything goes wrong mr. chan will cease to exist and all traces of collusion will vanish with him. but of course things are never so simple. as time goes on the prince becomes more and more invested in union building, and cinderella becomes more influential in high societyâno matter how professional they try to stay, feelings between them start to grow.
mr. chan has ceased to exist. they had always decided their meeting locations and times in advance, soâjust as they had plannedâthe prince no longer has any way to find cinderella. the only thing she has is a manâs shoe stuffed full of newsprint that had fallen off on the front steps of their home.
but that is enough. running away from the train station, the prince uses the newspapers stuffed into the shoe to calculate where in the city cinderella works. she finds the laundry, barges inside, the humidity staining her fine starched collar and frizzing up her carefully combed hair. the laundry is full of workers, their heads lowered and their faces obscured with steam. the prince watches for a while. she falls on one of the workers. it is her cinderella, whom she cannot leave, and she does not: she accepts her parentsâ disownment and builds a life for herself in san francisco, and cinderella builds a life with her, and the two of them attend union meetings and send letters and money home and dance to the gramophone, happy ever after
