I like to think when Riju is in turmoil, Link knows how to help her, because he went through the exact same thing before, and it was Urbosa who helped him out

I do genuinely believe that the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (and arguably the Zelda franchise as a whole, though i myself have played literally none of these games) is closer to fitting the description of ‘Tolkien-esque Fantasy’ than most other movies/shows/games/books etc that claim that label

Like, compare this post by tumblr user wufflesvetinari, which makes an important point about Tolkien’s worldbuilding, and also lives in my head rent free:

and then these quotes from Jacob Geller’s “Every Zelda is the Darkest Zelda”

and his conclusions about the messages in Zelda games are thematically very similar to the through-lines about friendship and love in LOTR, and what a lot of authors miss about what makes a fantasy story personal and memorable:

“A world without joy and humor isn’t a compelling world to fight for” is exactly why there are so many pieces of fantasy media out there that just feel like carbon copies of each other (i’ve seen many posts that explain this better than I can though I can’t find any specific ones at the moment, just know that I didn’t invent this thesis). You’ve got the cool swords, you’ve got the wizards and the spells and the battles, but first and foremost you need the LOVE.

[ID: A digitally drawn comic of Toph and Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender talking about Zuko’s scar.

It begins with Toph approaching Zuko, who is sitting near a campfire. “You have a scar?” she asks. Zuko replies,  "Oh! Uh, yeah… You didn’t…?“ Toph cuts him off and says, “Came up in passing with the other guys.” Toph casually makes herself a seat out of rock and sits down next to him. “Must be pretty badass if everyone assumes I know it’s there, too,” she continues. Zuko looks aside awkwardly and says, “… It’s on my face.” “Ah.” Toph replies.

Zuko says, “Maybe you could… feel it?” “Huh?” says Toph. “I guess, if I concentrate hard enough.” Zuko reaches for Toph’s hand. “Uhm, just with your hand, if you want,” he says. “I don’t think I can describe it.” “… Gotcha. Guide my hand then, boss,” Toph says. Zuko does so, and there’s a pause as Toph touches his scar. The fire reflects in her eyes.

As Toph pulls her hand away, Zuko says, “…. You know, my left eye is almost blind, too.” “Seriously?!” Toph exclaims. “Why aren’t we a tag team yet?! The blind bandit and the half-blind dweeb!” “Come on…!” Zuko moans. End ID]

id by @strawberrygiorno , thank you!

i’ve had this comic sketched out for months but only decided to finish it now, it’s based on something i drew a couple years back of toph and zuko….don’t think too hard on when or how this takes place because i don’t really know either! it’s just a concept i’ve always wanted to draw

Not sure if you still use tumblr but BRUH both Lazarus and Osiris were just so good, SO GOOD. I don't remember the last time I stayed up until 4am to finish a fic in one sitting, but there I was, sobbing and hella invested in this story happening literally in a box. And then Osiris I read the very next day and it was just a perfect epilog. Many people don't touch on the trauma characters have to deal with after surviving something and you showed this so fucking well, and even tho it's been a few days I'm still thinking about krbk's therapy session, when they were exchanging the statements about each other. It was simply amazing. I just want to go back to when I haven't read those two stories yet, just to experience them all anew. Thank you so much for those wonderful fics 🙏💖✨

Hi there!!! Apologies for how delayed this response is, I don't really use tumblr much atm so imagine me being pleasantly surprised to log on for the first time in ages and come across such a lovely message.

I'm so immensely touched you took the time to write this and share how much you loved those fics. Osiris is to this day the most difficult piece of writing I've ever worked on, it took me literal MONTHS to write because I wanted to make it both as realistic and respectful as possible. To read this really makes me feel like that that hard work paid off, so thank you. I've got some more fics in the works so I hope you enjoy those too!!!

rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between "damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)" and "damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)"
