FortAngel's Lair

what is the scariest monster in the entire legend of zelda series for you? i'm not talking in terms of difficulty, i mean in terms of pure instinctual fear, even if it's not that hard of a monster to defeat, one you still avoid after repeat playthroughs. for me it's the gloom hands from tears of the kingdom and the giant octos from wind waker, and to some extent the wind waker floormasters and the wind waker redeads. i thought about making this a poll but i'm unsure how much variance there is in other's experiences. just curious how much others either relate or differentiate from myself. drop your answer in the comments or the tags

ok i'm glad i asked for direct user feedback rather than making a poll because the answers have a ton of variety 😆 actually fascinates me though i hardly saw any breath of the wild guardian answers, i guess most people collectively got over that fear which i find amusing 😂 thanks for chatting with me today 🙂

Was about to fall asleep and apropos of nothing was struck out of nowhere by a horrible future vision of a brightly-lit and saccharine 3D-AI Calvin and Hobbes movie with Scarlet Johanssen voicing the mom and Chris Pratt voicing Hobbes and experienced an emotional haptic jerk so chilling I feel like I just foresaw my own death

oh thank heavens

you're not making enough of stone fruit season. that's another thing you're fucking up. a few dozen stone fruit seasons you get your whole life. you need to take a hard look at your peach and mango consumption.

I don't know who needs to be told this, but you don't need to unpack your shit in public. Like, yeah, you can reach out to people undergoing a similar crisis in worldview in private or anonymous channels, but if you do it all on TikTok or whatever, you're just making a spectacle of yourself and you should expect people to react as they would to any spectacle

Thinking of this viral TikTok of a 3× Trump voter who's now deconstructing her support for MAGA and who is breaking down because commentators are saying they'll never forgive her for her past and it's just like...girl, you don't need to vlog this. You don't need to stand in the village square loudly declaiming your sins for all to hear. You don't need to be in public on camera all of the time. There must be an ex-Trumper reddit or something if you don't have a support group in real life, but This Is Not the Way.

Deconversion is a very personal process that you do need to go through alone, but you also very much do not need to go through it with a billion anonymous strangers on the Internet watching you and judging.

#there is no less sympathetic audience than the internet folks#do NOT confess your sins to a bunch of strangers that specifically revel#in the opportunity to indulge in their impulsive responses

Every once in a while I'm struck by the fact that the early seasons of SG-1 took place in the late 90's, and what tech was and wasn't available, all of which is to say I 100% believe Teal'c had a LiveJournal account and was moderator of at least one Star Wars fan forum.

The first time Teal'c says "All your base are belong to us" Jack dies a little inside

"But how would Jack know the reference" because Teal'c keeps sending him links. After the 3rd time Teal'c sends him the Hampster Dance he starts deleting the emails unopened

The year is 2008. Jack is happily retired. One day he gets an email from [email protected]. The body of the email reads 'an urgent matter' followed by a link. Wary, but not internet savy enough to avoid strange links, he clicks it. It's the music video for Rick Astely's 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. He gets 8 seconds in, closes youtube, and deletes the email. Three hours later he gets a call. "O'Neill," he answers. "Rick Astley has rolled you," Teal'c's voice says. The next day Jack gets caller ID

I know people wanted the post credit scene for the DnD movie to be the actors playing the game, but I think it would have been infinitely funnier if it was instead the characters at a table trying desperately to figure out the date for their next heist. Next weekend? No, there's a festival. Tuesday. No, have a tournament. Any time in the next month??? Nope, there's some noble that half the group already agreed to go rough up, they'll be out of town. Oh hey a letter from Xenk, he can come on Thursdays. Are you penpals with Xenk?! Don't worry about it.

when people die early in a story but their death sets the tone for the whole story and to an extent sets everything in motion even if the story isn’t about their death… that’s good shit right there!

I really do appreciate kingdom heart’s commitment to using old cutscenes in flashbacks. Even if the graphics have since gone through a massive change like in kh3. You want an Aqua memory? Let’s go experience the PSP together again then. More games should do this, it gets funnier the older the series is. Can you imagine a Zelda game that chronologically happens after Zelda 1 and Link has a flashback to his 8-bit self

I think we are focusing on the wrong thing when talking about mainstream romantasy adult books, instead of shaming straight cis women for reading kinky books, we should tralk about how most of the newer books aimed at that demographic are just conservative propoganda, rebranding patriarchy as a kink.

There's nothing inherently wrong about liking the types of kinks that are present, control, power imbalance, dark themes, but when you really look at the top performing novels (which they are mass prodicing at questionable speeds) it's hard to ignore the ever present morally grey man, who's posessive over the heroine who starts off as otherworldly different from the 'regular woman' aka damsel in distress), is cruel to everyone except her, and the fantasy world revolves around the control of women, especially when it comes to forced pregnancy.

only 62 more frogs until we hit 8,000 species described. the moment we've all been waiting for

there are an average of about 150 new amphibian species described per year so I remain hopeful that 2026 will be the year of 8,000 frogs

I do love that somebody tagged tumblr's own frog scientist on this post. chop chop dr scherz, we've got 62 more frogs to discover and you're the only frog scientist any of us knows

GUYS amphibian species of the world is still at 7,994 species of frog BUT amphibiaweb is at 8,008 species of frog, and do you know who is a co-author on the 8,000th species of frog there???? TUMBLR'S OWN FROG SCIENTIST DR SCHERZ
