ask me about my rat curse

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

Well, I think someone would get sick of His behavior fast.

and then one without the words

An engineer and often-snarky practical jokester. He's obsessed with spikes (hence his nickname) but absolutely hates it when people try to fiddle with his projects before they're ready. He was an early proponent for, and founder of, the Depths Engineering Corps. When not selling his spikes (and perfecting the designs) at the Hideout, he's searching for new tech in the depths and running trials with things he's already built. Before the Upheaval he spent a lot of time shadowing blacksmiths and builders across Hyrule, which kept him away from the main base.

Weapon of choice is the eightfold blade (he always wants to he on top of innovations) and he actually studied with the Yiga blacksmith who created the technique.

Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas), EAT A TASTY SEA GRASS!!!, family Cheloniidae, off the coast of Florida, USA

Once considered endangered, the species has recovered.

Like it's bad when a "tattoo is undulating" (as opposed to... "drawn in a wave like pattern on the skin"?), or when hair is "wet wheat from a late Summer field" (as opposed to "sort of brownish light yellow that dries lighter, but is not actual wheat stalks growing on someone's head but kind of reminiscent of the color and texture"?), or when when ice cream tastes like midnight at the fair" (as opposed to "ice cream flavour bringing back memories of undefined ice cream flavours that are individually popular but always tied to a memory of late evening at the fair ground and probably smelling vaguely like popcorn and sugar"?).
