Okay but I need to know what the people who have only watched c3 think about Beau and Caleb because I've been rotating them in my head for three years too long to be objective anymore but like. Getting to see them through the eyes of a new party just reminded me that even though so much of our delight in C2 was focused around the constant indignity of the Nein, they are objectively a flickering metronome between "how the fuck are these people alive" and "this is the most hyper competent group of mercenaries I've ever seen" and I just. Do they know. Do they know that Beau is so fucking cool. Are there people who learned these two npcs have a whole campaign and want to learn more about them. I look at these two and see a montage of tiefling dicks and red eyes and promising to kill the other if something goes wrong. I see Caleb smearing mud and bat shit on Beau's face and Beau just resigned even as she makes the most aggrieved and annoyed sounds, Beau hauling Caleb's dissociated ass over her own skinny shoulder and walking him to safety. I look at them and see 500 hours and more of the empire siblings. The weeks and months they spent going from hating the parts of themselves they saw in each other to loving in the other what they still struggled with in themselves. I see chosen siblings, best friends. What do other people see?

It's really fucked that when I google 'intersex' the news articles that come out are all mocking the US gov recognizing intersex awareness day. Calling us 'frankensteins' 'sick in the head' 'defective genetic fuck ups'. I saw a completely batshit conspiracy theory that the US government 'created' intersex people a few decades ago to 'attack traditional values' or something. Forget about all of us who don't live in the US, forget about the historical records of intersex people, to the point where we could test DNA from prehistoric skeletons preserved a certain way and could find that they're intersex. They keep going. They say, someone 'needs to step in and study how these get passed down so these people don't reproduce'. Just literal fucking eugenics. Even beyond their hatred, their intersexism, their transphobia, it makes me even more sick to my stomach is that none of the facts, none of our history matters. They're not just uninformed, they don't give a shit. And the reason, the fucking reason people were losing their shit over the fact that the US state department recognized that we exist, is that they they think that all of the US government's attention should apparently be to supporting Isreal bombing and killing thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians. They want nothing but killing and bloodshed and violence and death and apparently the acknowledgement of intersex existence is too much of a fucking distraction for them from their fucking need for violence. And even if they wanted something else, something harmless, a government agency puts out a TWO PARAGRAPH STATEMENT and they think it will fucking shut other things down. And while recognition is nice, the bar is so fucking low that saying 'hey these people exist. they deserve rights' about intersex people is a FIRST, and people think that two fucking paragraphs is too much. I feel sick and angry. People want death and killing and violence and to fucking cheer over the killing of innocent people over TWO FUCKING PARAGRAPHS that say I exist and am a person.

TOTK Great Fairy Enhancements Tracker
I made a workbook in Google Sheets that will tell you in an intuitive format exactly what materials you need for your current set of gear. It's even mobile-friendly! Each tab should fit width-wise on a smartphone screen so that it's easier to quickly refer to it while you play without needing to scroll side-to-side or open it on a proper computer.
You'll want to make a copy of this file so that you can track your own gear:
Feel free to share it around, and also do let me know if you come across a bug or error!
A brief tour of the tabs below the cut:
The Input/Tracker Tab
Check off the far right of each row to indicate you own the piece, and then check the 4 boxes to the left to indicate how many stars of upgrade you've completed for that piece.
Bonus: Each column is filterable, so you can choose if you want to hide the pieces you've completed or the ones you aren't working on, or whatever.
The Output/Materials Tabs
There is one tab that will list out the materials you need for your next enhancement/star for each piece of armor, and then two more that will give you a total of how many of each material you need across all of your in-progress enhancements.
I split monster parts into its own tab because the in-game sorting for monster parts is by the function of the part (all eyeballs are together, then all wings, then "sharp" parts, "crushing" parts, etc). It seemed much more intuitive for this kind of a tool to instead organize them by the monster you're getting them from instead, so you can go, "Oh wow I need a lot of lizalfos talons, and horns from 3 different kinds. I better go genociding hunting where there are a lot of different lizalfos!"

Folks I can't overstate the comedy potential of having all the smpshipping tags blocked but clicking through anyways like a lift the flap book. Are you going to see homoerotic murder? Are you going to see tender hand-holding? Are you going to see nsfw art? You spin the wheel every time! God knows what's under that tag!

There is nothing more painful than having the time and writing energy, but not being able to close your hands around a single idea now long to get words on the page
