I’m not sure why I have Breath of the Wild on both WiiU and Switch. You’d have to ask my husband Josh. Buying a second copy was his decision. He played it on Switch for a little while, but got kind of bored with it and moved on to Genshin.
I played the WiiU copy. When I first started the game, I saw a black horse with a white mane which I thought was pretty, but I didn’t have enough stamina to tame it. Somehow, in the subsequent 300+ hours I spent in this game, the Horse Color RNG never, ever again spawned a black horse with a white mane for me. Lots of gray but never black. I eventually gave up and caught a black horse with black mane, which I named Rain, and which became my favorite.
Today I tried to turn on the WiiU for the first time in a long while, and it’s stuck on a system update that can’t install. I haven’t tried any other games, but I can’t play BotW without the system update, so as far as I know, my stuff is just inaccessible now. [Edit: turns out if you store the WiiU without playing it for a while, its memory just kinda breaks! Very cool) I was pretty upset, but Josh said, if I wanted, I could pick up his abandoned save file just to wander the world and mess around. I did, and after a few minutes of wandering around (and finding I’m pretty rusty at the game), I saw a black horse with a white mane. I just caught a deer a few minutes ago, a horse should be easy, so I snuck up on it, and was almost there...
Cue the dramatic piano music. Where’d that guardian come from? A guardian shouldn’t panic me like someone new to the game, but it kind of did. I could have fast-traveled away, but what if the horse I wanted despawned? I wasn’t going to lose it a second time. I thought I was far enough away to just run from the guardian, but I guess I forgot how persistent they are. And the laser gets me. And my armor sucks because Josh didn’t find all the great fairies. And I’m dead. Mipha’s Grace revives me. I shoot the guardian in the eye and attack it. I die again, but fortunately, I’d just grabbed some fairies a few minutes ago. I’ve just about cut all the guardian’s legs off when night falls.
Blood moon.
I kill the guardian as quickly as I can, and, with a few seconds to spare before midnight, get up on a hill so I can gain a tactical advantage and see the guardian before it sees me. The blood moon cutscene plays, and I look down, see the guardian, glide to it, and attack it. After killing it again I can finally go get the horse I wanted since 2017.
Since my gentle black-maned horse was named Rain, my new white-maned one will be named Storm.
On the way back to the stable, I see four more black horses with white manes.

TIFU by almost passing out and the reason for that was very stupid.
Dont judge me. Ok maybe do. For context, I'm autistic and for some reason I am aware and controlling of almost all the usually automatic or uncounscious functions of the body, like stimming, body language, reactive expressions, expressions in general, natural movements, blinking and, worst of all, breathing. So I am constantly counsciously telling my brain to do those. I don't only feel pain, my brain makes me know exactly where and why it is hurting, so I am usually able to tell exactly where or/and what's the problem, and what'll happen if I don't do something about it.
Sometimes I get a bug in my brain, though. Like, I forget to blink. So I overcompensate by blinking nonstop for like 5 seconds and then widening my eyes. That one's not so bad, but...
Today I fucked up by almost passing out for lack of oxygen. You get where I'm going right.

I've gone a little deeper about Emily's past in my fic 'Unrequited' and 'As It Was'. I'm just obsessed with her character and the backstory both she and Hotch have. And I just finish reading the little backstory you did about Emily and I loved it!!
i’m really not much of a jemily fan (partly because i think fanon characterizations of jj are completely delusional, partly because i think fanon characterizations of emily are beyond insulting, and mostly because i cannot fucking fathom what anyone could possibly like about jj), but i went ahead and read those two pieces because i figured you came into my inbox already knowing that. it’s just… not how i see either of those characters. not even necessarily the shipping aspect, even ignoring my reservations about jj, but because of the way i think emily approaches relationships
this sounds hypocritical after writing about emily + family, but i feel like emily doesn’t really care about her biological family anymore. at least i’d like to. i’d like to think she’s accepted that she’ll never be what her mother wants and that she’ll never get what she wants from her mother. she’s 36 when she joins the bau—surely that’s enough time to realize she can’t hold onto those childish fantasies anymore. not that i disagree with what i wrote, i just think it's given her a complex ab family rather than it actually being something she truly craves. it was a setup for her life: she wasn't meant to be with others, which is something she eventually tries to change about herself
i’m a big fan of low-empathy emily, so i feel like she has to put active effort into caring about relationships. as a child raised by an extremely distant parent, she probably chalked it up to never having connections growing up, so she never learned how to make connections in the future. it’s easier to assume she’s broken, and it’s easier to blame her mom for it
but really, i don’t think there’s anything wrong with her, she’s just different. at some point i think she had to wrestle with that: it’s hard to think she fell into the job best suited for her personality just by coincidence. being a spy requires that cold, calculating observation and analysis of relationship dynamics. she can view things objectively because she isn’t naturally inclined to get emotionally attached. she can witness unfathomable horrors without a flinch—things that would rock jj to her core, things that would perturb the unflappable hotch. she knows she’s better equipped to handle those types of experiences because having empathy was never really a priority. (it's part of why i think she was the only one who could've walked through hotch's apartment that day: she wouldn't get distracted)
that being said, i don’t think connections are impossible for her. the bau proves that, declan proves that. but i think that was a conscious choice on her part: she had seen enough—caused enough—pain and grief to realize that she should feel guilty for it. so i think she wakes up every day and decides to care. she decides to be a good person. eventually she confronts that she's tired of living a life she doesn't feel like she could be proud of
she’s not heartless, by any means. she just doesn’t become emotionally involved until she comes to the logical conclusion to do so. she has a soft spot for kids because they haven’t had a chance to truly know themselves and the world they live in. she loves the team because of how deeply connected they are to each other. so, when push comes to shove, she’s always willing to leave if it means keeping them together. it’s easy to make that choice because she loves them: in season 3 when the choice is between her and hotch and she knows hotch’s loss will devastate them; in season 6 when she’s making them potential targets for doyle’s vendetta; in season 7 when she feels the tension that never quite settled upon her return. i don’t know if any of the others would’ve made those decisions as easily, even if it was the best choice for them as a whole. not even hotch, who is terrified that his proximity is enough to hurt people he cares about. she’s detached in a way that can separate her from others, but she’s able to turn that into her strength: whether that means manipulating her way into terrorist organizations or walking away from the only chance at a family she's ever had just to keep them safe
i have my bits and pieces of evidence for it that i can scrounge into a semi-believable character analysis, but ultimately i think it’s so i can enjoy more of her character without getting irked by aspects of the archetypes she could fit that would typically annoy me. i’d like to think she’s above some of that: she’s too cool to have mommy issues, too badass to spend years pining over relationships, too self assured to be insecure about her decisions, too smart to let anyone see through her.
i say all this as a hotch fan, who has traits very similar to these. but it suits him. it makes him more interesting, to know that there’s a vulnerability behind his stoic appearance. but with emily i think it’s far more admirable for her to choose to suffer because she wants to care. minimal loss is the perfect example of that: she makes the logical choice to put herself at risk because she wants to protect reid. she’s not running away from who she is anymore, and she’s not really fighting it either. she chooses to be a good person, not out of guilt or even love, but because it’s something she values.
for me, emily is the cool brooding hero who could be a villain so easily. maybe, in an earlier time in her life, she was. but she’s done being selfish. she’s willing to make sacrifices for others because she decided that living by a code is better than living for nothing at all, even if it causes her pain. guilt and love—two burning sensations that were so opposite yet so intrinsically linked—were burdens she chose to bear so she wouldn’t feel so hollow anymore. and it does cause her pain. so, so much pain. to me, it makes her endlessly more fascinating. i’d rather her be a knife that dulls its edges than something soft chiseled to a jagged point.
