Asexual. Autistic. She/they. Empty blogs will be blocked on sight. I am obsessed with cartoons and The Legend of Zelda. I tag religiously so blacklist any fandoms you don't want clogging up your dash. Author of The Light Invasion: an epic-length, enemies-to-friends-to-lovers Midlink slowburn in which the light spirits invade the twilight realm instead of the other way around.
So... I meant to make a lil graphic for my fic but somehow made this "trailer" instead...
The Light Invasion
An epic-length, Premise Reversal AU of 'Twilight Princess'.
“Really?” Midna spat. "As my people waste away in the shadows of their own world, you’re defending the 'handsome, well-mannered' war criminal who forced them there? How valiant of you, Mr Important Hero!”
The light spirits have abandoned Hyrule, plunging it into an ever-lasting night. Zelda’s husband says that the light was stolen away. He says that the Twili are to blame. But Midna? She calls him a liar; she calls the missing daylight a burning apocalypse upon her realm; and she calls upon Link to betray his comrades, his prince, his queen, and his kingdom.

Made in Canva, Art assets are all official game art (aside from Fabian's silhouette which I do not have a source for).
[ID: On a black background, four white circles phase in. The top left circle has a black silhouette of Zelda throwing out her right arm in the foreground and a shadowy silhouette of Sheik leaping in the background. The top right circle shows a black silhouette of Link standing and looking in the distance as the shadowy silhouette of Midna floats beside him. The bottom left circle shows black text that says 'The Light Invasion'. The bottom right circle has the medium close-up silhouette of a thin, short-haired man in the foreground with pointy Hylian ears, and the shadowy silhouette of Zant flourishing his sleeves menacingly in the background. One-by-one, the circles fade out.
Against the same black background, four lines of white writing fade in, saying the following: "Do you ever wonder what might happen if Hyrule was the instigator of the Twilight War?" The writing fades out.
The screen becomes diagonally divided into black on the bottom left and white on the top right. On the white, a black and Twilit portal appears with black writing along the diagonal that says "A realm of ceaseless daylight." On the black, the white silhouette of Hyrule Castle fades in at the bottom, along with white writing along the bottom that says "A realm of perpetual night." It fades away.
The screen then becomes diagonally divided again into white on the top left and black on the bottom right. Emerging from the diagonal line against the white background is the same black silhouette of a man with Hylian ears as before. Black words fade in above him saying "A husband who starts a war..." Emerging from the diagonal line against the black background is the white silhouette of Zelda. White words fade in beneath her saying "...while his queen is sick in bed".
The screen is divided in half vertically with white on the left and black on the right. In the centre is the standing silhouette of Link, divided in half to be black on the left and white on the right. On the left, black writing says "A chosen hero..." while on the right, white writing says "...loyalties divided".
The screen is divided in half horizontally, with black on the top and white on the bottom. In the top right is the white silhouette of Hyrule's crest with white writing beside it saying "Is his duty to his kingdom..." In the bottom left is a medium close-up of Midna's black silhouette with her right arm stretched out. Beside her, black writing says "...or the parasite in his shadow?"
The screen fades to white with black writing taking up most of the screen. It says 'The Light Invasion: an epic by Scarlet Curls'.]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

there's probably already a name for this but it's a trope i coined for a very specific type of dynamic that im consistently obsessed with. give me two people who grew up together and played together and were each other's best friend and then Something Happened and now everything's fucked up but they're still friends. or they want to be at least. you look so different now and everything is so much more complicated now than when we played in your backyard but literally who else knows me better than you. who else could i ever call my best friend

[images: series of tweets from @realavocadofact. tweets read, “they’re not elite they’re rich”, “they’re not better they’re better supplied”, “they’re not smarter or faster they’re buying up others’ lifetimes to do their chores”, “there is nothing wrong with you; you’re doing your best in a game rigged against you, probably not enough people and fruit tell you that”]
I see this reaction a lot, and I gotta say, it always makes me a little sad. Whenever the conversation of exploitation of labor comes up, inevitably someone finds themselves struggling with the guilt of “It is so important to me not to contribute to exploitation but I cannot do this thing myself and need someone else to do it for me, so how do I even approach that?”
Exploitation isn’t in the hiring of a service worker. Exploitation is in the respect you show them for their ability to perform the service you need from them.
I have been on a cleaning service staff before, and also been someone who hired a cleaning service, and I can tell you for sure that a lot of cleaning crews (especially worker owned ones) absolutely LOVE their clients and are genuinely happy to be able to make their lives better. The clients they don’t like? Those are the ones who disrespect the workers.
When I was involved with a cleaning service, we had everything from little old ladies living alone to McMasions with five cars as clients, and I can assure you that whenever there was someone who clearly hired us because they were overwhelmed or unable to keep their space clean, those were the households where you put a little more elbow grease in and did a deep clean even when it wasn’t paid for, because you could see how much these people were trying and struggling, and they were always so kind and generous and often embarrassed when talking to you about the job.
I only hired a service a couple if times in my life, but whenever I did, I worked with the same people as often as I could, tipped as well as I could afford, and tried to be the kind of client I would want to have, and that’s how I often ended up with my baseboards cleaned too, or my fridge scrubbed and organized or a restorative clean done in a high use room even when that wasn’t what I had scheduled or paid for.
I’ve heard the same thing from all manner of service workers over the years. Many of us like our jobs! We enjoy the work. It’s the customers that can do a number on you.
I think a lot of people are afraid that by needing a service they are inherently exploiting or harming the people who perform that service, and they really aren’t. But it does benefit a capitalist system for us to all be burnt out and overwhelmed because we’re too afraid to hire the help we need. Be upfront and honest with service workers about what you need and why you need it, and treat them with dognity and kindness while they perform your service, and I promise you they will always be happy to answer your call.
