Sometimes I am reminded of how, when Rare was criticized for making “kiddie” games, they made Conker’s Bad Fur Day with their cute squirrel mascot and just went over the top with all the mature content they could pack into the game and shot the franchise in the foot. Going out in a blaze of glory lol.

Also, since I was thinking of Twilight Princess, I was just thinking of how superficial the whole "cycle" people talk about is aka "all the haters of this game will call it the best thing ever a few years down the line". The only time this really happens is if the aspect that got hated on was superficial to begin with. For example, the Wind Waker got overly hated on because of its graphical style. It was released in an era where "edgy" was what was popular, and people had their expectations set based on the Spaceworld demo for the Gamecube. The Wind Waker does have its legitimate criticisms, but the graphical style was definitely not one of them as it is now seen as a timeless style. So once people got past the whole "oh this is kiddy graphics" they were able to see the game for what it was and approach it with a better mindset. Similarly, Twilight Princess was the game that was set to "save LoZ" and "the true sequel to OoT" because Wind Waker allegedly tanked its popularity, so anyone who said it was anything other than a "perfect game" got dunked on. Now of course, with time, people have come to approach it with a better mindset and can agree it has its flaws. The people who didn't like Skyward Sword back then still don't like it for the same reasons: the motion controls and the excessive linearity of the game to name a few. So, you know, the cycle is only true if the things you disliked about the game weren't flaws that actually affect your experience with the game.
People who say people in the past had better "fandom etiquette" were simply not on the internet enough which, good for them truly. People back then were fucking brutal man.

Out of nostalgia for the calamity au which I stapled together 6 years ago. Still haven’t made a cover for the fic, but hey heres ganlink as they are in that story
We grow up and we are not paying attention because there was no luxury to feel everything that happens, the houses are empty, friends travel, and the streets that we were afraid of at night became empty during the day, a moment comes to look at yourself and then laugh at all the difficult circumstances you went through in Omar, you are supposed to live the best days of your life, then eat, sleep, plan for tomorrow and be surprised by yourself
The topic is not forgetting to forget, the luxury of memory has become a busy staircase, every time you open it, you close it, so you learn to live in the text, half an eye on tomorrow and a half an eye that is still hanging at a closed door, they ask us if you will see new colors, maybe, but the new colors hurt because they remind you of what went
The voices have changed, the names have been erased, the places have become pictures, and no one is talking about everyone, I ask now how are you?
So you reply to them, okay, because there is no word to explain that you are tired, but complete and that you are lost, but not dead
Maybe after years we talk about it quietly, not because it's light, but because we're tired, we remove it every day, so we put it on the side and continue
And so we grow up in my country and you may see us smiling at all the losses because it is an instinct in us

You’ve heard of “i didn’t say it was good, i said i liked it,” get ready for “i said it had some technical problems & didn’t fully deliver on its themes, not that i didn’t like it”
#I voiced a criticism of some of its aspects#which in no way implies I did not like it#“and especially does not imply that I would like to hear a defense of it of the form 'shut up and let people have fun'”
I know the reason a "Ganondorfs meet" AU doesn't exist primarily because most people don't really care to explore his character in the way most of these Meets AUs do, but I do think his case would be a lot more compelling because in the majority of instances he is the same person. He would basically be meeting himself in a different "what-if" scenario, how things would go if he succeeded, if he failed, if he was caught before he could even do anything, and I think it would cause him to spiral into an existential crisis that could end up with him fistfighting himself.
call me terminally academia-brained but i do think a lot of the fun of character analysis is figuring out how to build a compelling argument for a particular reading using lines of evidence from canon as well as meta/intertextual support
and you could say that what i’m saying here is basically “a lot of the fun of doing character analysis is doing character analysis” but let’s be real a lot of fandom character analysis is pretty heavily vibes-based. and i think that’s where i really chafe up against the traditional thought-terminating fandom attitude of like, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight and any interrogation of that is inherently hostile. because i think it’s fascinating to dig into where others are coming from in terms of their views on characters or dynamics or whatever, especially when they differ significantly from more commonly expressed views, and part of that digging is asking people okay what parts of canon are you drawing from to support your opinion? what parts of canon are you disregarding or downplaying? how does this argument hold up in the light of how race, gender, class, ability, etc. operate both in the piece’s in-fiction and real world contexts?
I was tagged by @imagineaspen! Thanks for the tag :)
Reading: Started reading Children of Blood and Bone on the recommendation of a friend. Very interesting so far.
Last Song: Little Things by Bush. Back in my 90s rock era these past few weeks
Last Film: Iron Lung
Last Series: Jaadugar A Witch in Mongolia. Still ongoing.
Sweet or Salty: Sweet. I am a sweet addict but I do like mixing salty with sweet.
Coffee or Tea: I do like tea but coffee is my primary caffeinated drink.
Working on: Uhhh...I've been working on one fanfic that no one would ever read and I don't plan on posting and I don't know why I've sunk this much time in it but I guess it's important to me so. Working on some Gantober prompts in advance, particularly the regicide one. Does this have to be about creative works? I'm working on a sub 5 minute kilometer in running which people in running circles might scoff at but I'm not a particularly fast runner and this is an achievement for me so.
Tagging: @amelias-hart @blackautmedia @m-r-levine @sunnidaydreamer @ghirathem and whoever wants to really I'm just trying to think of people haha
OK THIS IS WILD...i might have just recorded the fastest ever zelda light arrow shot, here i am chilling recording for gifs and i could barely even process what happened 😂 this is why it's so worth replaying your favorite games over and over

A fellow Town of Salem fan! I have a funny story about when I used to play it: in the lobby when you would choose a name for your character, I would pick someone else's username just to fuck with them, which resulted in some funny stuff. People confused in their death notes when they died, for example, but once I took the name of the serial killer and was their first victim 😂
OMG ANOTHER TOWN OF SALEM PLAYER! It's crazy that I never thought of doing that, because I am sure I have well over a thousand hours logged into the game 😂 The serial killer's pettiness was probably a run of the mill reaction to that strategy :P
My strategy was to play a bit. My favorite bit was tea-sipping Ganondorf, who was a very polite version of Ganondorf. Now that would either put a big red target on my back or would completely ward off suspicion, like it would be FAR too ironic for Ganondorf to be the Godfather right? (I was the Godfather). The run that got me mass reported was after a string of games where I was on a pretty long winning streak. I was in a game with a bunch of other players that I had already played with previously, and I was the veteran. All I did on the first day was type *sips tea*, and then I had a nagging suspicion that I would be visited that night, so I set my shotgun on. When I tell you half the town visited 😂 The arsonist, the serial killer, the mafioso, the framer (which framer why are you visiting me if you're sending the mafioso to KILL ME-), a doctor, a bodyguard, and an investigator. So I shot half the town and won the game and people acussed me of cheating. NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE ALL HATERS-
My other fun memory was pissing off a jailer that kept jailing me but wouldn't kill me because they hated my living guts so we just spent evenings ragebaiting each other :)
Anyways, fun game. It was the fun kind of ragebaiting I must say 😏
FF7 Rebirth (I only wanted to pick one FF7 game and this is the one I have the most hours in)
BG3 (been playing since early release)
Sims 4 (would you believe I have over 20k hours in this game?)
No pressure tags: @scourge-lover @rhaemaya-valwynn @felix-winged-kitsune-derg @shadowsageingempress @cherrycardamom @prismaticpichu @quantumstonegarden @mildlylethalsergeant and anyone else that wants to play!
Thanks for tagging me! Since I love so many games, it was kind of difficult picking out which one would be the third, but I think it works.
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (this is what got me into story-based games, and probably is one of the causes for my love of dark and spooky things)
Final Fantasy VII (I’ve loved its story and compilation for years, and I’m thrilled to finally be able to play it)
Terraria (it’s one of my comfort games)
No pressure tags: @mookimooks @mahkohime @lucrecias-anklet @ashvalentine16 @junonharbor @sofsseven @serysem @the-twilight-duchess @thecoramaria @song-system and anyone else who wants to do this
Thanks for the tag, Shadowling! Hope you don't mind me responding on this blog instead. My top 3 games are:
Twilight Princess (pretty obvious given how much fanfiction I write about it)
Endless Ocean 2 (god the fandom for this game is so tiny 😭 pls I need more people to become obsessed with it)
Tie between Ocarina of Time and Stardew Valley
I'm tagging @aquatark @eeveeextreme @rawliverandgoronspice @bloobluebloo @nat0327 @regent-of-chaos @thismousedraws @ro-blaze and anyone else who'd like to join the fun 💖
Ocarina of Time. This game changed my life in many different ways, one of which is extremely obvious (gestures at my entire blog)
Assassin's Creed Black Flag
Town of Salem. Shout out to all the sore losers who reported me for cheating because I was good at the game. Not my fault my distraction tactics with tea sipping Ganondorf worked~
