#mako rambles

A) headcannoned olly and Nova to be siblings

B) hated Zac (bc of the first episode)

C) thought ollys name was spelled O-L-L-I-E

ya know what i hate? when in writing a romance they use the fact of being a man or a woman as a personality trait.

Like of course being a gender or another is going to shape your experience of the world, how people see you how you see yourself, I'm not talking about that.

I mean things like, you know when they describe a characters as "being a man with needs".... are you an animal???? I'm sorry it's just- or describing features as "masculine" or "femenine" like hands, or other body parts like...

Maybe it's just me, but referring to one's gender when it's not like a commentary of their environment, or like a struggle or something like that it's not needed.

Like reminding the reader of their gender.... like that shapes their relationship on some tipe of way, no ok, i like this two characters that have a deep bond but at the end of the day are people with their own hopes and dreams and fears, that's why i want them to be happy together, i like seeing characters connect and understand each other.

And frankly seeing two deeply complex characters being reduced as "man" and "woman" it's just- and it's always portrayed as "every woman wants this" or "every man wants that", no dude, not EVERYBODY wants something because they are the same gender.

And i know this is mainly done in smutty stories, but dude- I've read a lot of stories that don't fall into that, you know how easy is to explain a character wants to bone another until morning because they love them so much, and they love how bright their smile is, how soft their body is, love that mole in their shoulder, insted of like "im a man and she's a beautiful woman, so of course i wanna bone her, like any man would!" like WHAT THE HELL.

like just the fact that those statements erase any queer identity makes my blood boil.

Like i know I'm reading a "straight" romance i guess, but that doesn't make queer people disappear. like im aroace right, and every time i come across a story that is like "everybody has and wants sex haha" im like SHUT UUUUP and i know those statements are often played for shits an giggles but it's still annoying, you can just say x character wants to have sex because they are their own person with their own desires.

yes this is mainly about zelink fanfiction, look I'm not gonna hate in any author who writes fanfic ever, but I'm gonna bich about tropes i see repeated time an time again.

like how can you make link (a purposefully androgynous character, that dressed in femenine clothes and blushed when is refered as "a cute girl") your typical macho-man.

the amount of fics ive seen making link EMBARRASSED or even ANNOYED at having to dress into the gerudo vai set should be illegal- like have we not played the same game????😭

little dude probably keeps his hair long because he likes it that way, he's a fighter you know how annoying it would be to fight with that long hair of his??? i had shoulder long hair and it got in my way and the only thing i do is draw😭 imagine him!!! he just likes having it long!! like zelda had a haircut, so nintendo can chop off a characters hair if they wanted, but they kept link's hair longer than Zelda's and im GLAD they did.

and people portray him and his relationship with zelda in such a... straight way- im sorry but like, that's just boring-

They are two PEOPLE with complex backgrounds, and an even more complex relationship and they are human before anything else.

I guess that's the point I'm trying to make.

and i know me saying all this won't change shit, but i don't have queer friends so im bitching about it to you guys🫶

WAH- HELLO YES I DO???? WHDBNE

BUT BEFORE ANYTHING

(these headcanons are all purely platonic cause I genuinely prefer to think of them like that ngl :))

N E WAYS BOOTHILL AND DAN HENG HCS:

Yes I know I made a whole art about how boothill carries dh whenever he could but like lemme emphasize that this is only a Boothill Privilege™

Dh showing him something in his book: "so you see bla bla bla-"

Boothill who couldn't be bothered to kneel to Dan Heng's level: *scoops him up*

Dan heng:....

Dan Heng: you know you could hold the book if you want

Boothill: nah

Dan Heng: ...fine

On the other hand Dan Heng would absolutely deck any other person who tries to carry him in anyway shape or form (caelus he is looking at you)

Alright listen Boothill used to be a dad and Dan Heng grew up in the shackling prison with no contact whatsoever so what I am saying is boothill found out Dan Heng likes dad jokes and uses that knowledge WHENEVER

*boothill and Dan Heng investigating something and boothill sees stairs*

Boothill: Ya know.... I never trust stairs....

Dan Heng: ....what?

Boothill: ....cause they're always up to something

Dan Heng:

Dan Heng: *snort*-

It makes boothill always proud whenever he can pull one if these

Boothill actually knows a lot about machines and stuff (cause... Y'know) and sometimes yaps about them to Dan Heng

Dan Heng actually took interest in this sunject and records whatever boothil says if it wasn't already recorded in the data bank

(Dan Heng fell asleep once hile boothill was talking about them but only because he was too sleep deprived and hasn't slept in days and boothill is nice company)

(boothill wasn't mad, in fact he was quite pleased the guy finally slept he looked dead on his feet)

After boothill leaves Dan Heng sometimes even goes to welt to ask him about stuff he doesn't understand concerning machines and welt happily explains them which causes some bonding moments cause found family stuff is my JAM u-u

Boothill knows how to play a lot of instruments (guitar/ harmonica/ ukulele/ etc-) (i don't know most instruments forgive me 😔)

He taught Dan Heng how to play ukulele at some point

Whenever boothill visits he just grabs Dan Heng and leaves and no one is phased at this point

*boothill visiting the express and tb greets him*

Tb: are you gonna stay here for a while?

Boothill: I'd love yo, mate but I gotta get something real quick from the express and then maybe I'll stay for a whole

Boothill: *gets into the parlor car*

Boothill: *gets into the archives and rumages a bit*

Boothill: *gets out of the archives with Dan Heng on his shoulders like a sack of potatoes* Well, I'll be right back!

Tb, hemiko and welt who got used to this: sure!

Pompom, also used to this: BRING HIM BEFORE DINNER!

March, who still DIDN'T get used to this: .....

March doesn't get payed enough for this

Dan Heng actually doesn't KNOW a lot of swear words (he knows the basics lol) so sometimes boothill says a swear that doesn't fit into what Dan heng knows so he goes the data bank to look up for what boothill meant

Hemiko found out about this one day and she gave boothill A Discussion™ about how to not use so much colorful language around the others

Boothill shudders everytime he remembers said Discussion™

- answer messages/notifications on here and discord

- Take a Big Shower

- Drink entire bottle of wine

Shark Fact Fridayz

i was thinking (dangerous) about what the hell do koroks eat. ok, ok, so we know they poop right, the korok seeds are poop, so to poop they have to eat- but-but maybe they do the photosynthesis?? but doing that would produce waste?? (i don't know enough about plants)

we know they sell ingridients so why sell them if they are not eating, but you could argue that they have the store only for link to buy stuff (wich would be horrible for the korok economy, having a store and constantly suplying it only for 1 costumer that can buy the same things in other stores?? doesn't seem smart) but then maybe they do use those ingridients just not for food, maybe like for decoration, or other stuff-

(back to the korok economy, they have to be using the store and there being other stores, if not why ask for rupees? but that seems the only way koroks gain rupees, because you don't see them doing other jobs)

but back at the food thing, because they come from the kokiri maybe they can eat food, but- can kokiri eat regular food? we don't see any food around but there should be at least for when link was growing up there, right? and he would have been weirded out if he was the only one eating right? so let's just say yes the kokiri can eat- but can the koroks eat? do they maintain enough about their antecedens, like their digestive sistem?

do koroks breath carbon dioxide???

do they???

if you got a hylian and a korok locked into an airtight space, could they survive breathing in the waste of the other? (they would die for other resons but lets just think about air rn) could they? do koroks exhale oxigen?

also the evolution from kokiri to korok also hurts my brain, was that all natural evolution or was there some divine or magical intervention? (i know the wind waker is where they draw this conection an maybe there they explain something, but i sadly can't play the game-) because they look like hylian children in oot and then they become plant like, so, how? but then allso they are forever children and forest spirits, so maybe its all magic?

can koroks die?...

if the deku tree is able to die, the koroks probably too right? maybe they don't die of natural causes but they can be killed??

...can the deku scrubs eat?? (in eow they CAN, its canon they can-)and do they have any conexion to the koroks?!-
