i think when it comes to the F+C finale it's important to see where the writers were coming from. And it's easy to do that, the lesson/moral they gave simon is fairly clear: Simon needs to appreciate his life because Betty sacrificed so much to get him here. alright, cool, that's good on paper.
I do Also think that the execution was poor.
up until this point, the crown has represented/could be viewed as many things. Alzheimer's, substance abuse, and anything else people have called it. In this series, a newer interpretation has arose: Suicide. And I'm certain the writers were aware of this. Depression and suicidal ideation are such strong themes in this series that they can't NOT be purposeful.
So their attempt at teaching Simon to appreciate Betty's sacrifice can ALSO be read as: Simon, the suicidal, on the verge of a relapse-man, gets put into a body of a child, (and that is very powerful imagery that does not help, actually) and is told nearly expressly that he fucked up in his relationship with the love of his life. He is told he should have sacrificed more for betty. And he says to himself: "Maybe i wouldn't have even found the crown". Basically it's simon pinning the blame on himself for his 1000 year curse on his mistakes with Betty. Which of course can be read as Simon's self loathing but the show does nothing to refute his statement, which i also have issue with. Simon putting on the crown was stated to be a Mistake. it was an accident. No matter what, the crown cursing him Was Not His Fault. Ever. It's not Betty's fault, it's not Simon's, it. was. a. Mistake.
regardless on if they should or should not have introduced these new flaws into simon's character, having simon learn his mistakes like This feels. icky. to me.

I know this isn't part of the prompts thing technically, but I was wondering about your opinion on this:
Ordonian Folktales: The Tale of the Stáblad & the Twisted Capaill
It's just a folktale I thought up to try & flesh out the culture of Ordon a bit is all.
I'd really like to see something on Twilight telling the story to the other Links, but again I understand if you don't. Perhaps with Twilight as the blorbo & horseshoes as the item if you're willing to stretch the prompt a bit?
If all I can get is your opinion/critique on it or even just a polite, "sorry, not doing it." Then, I'm more than okay with that.
So, yeah. If you're not feeling up for it, that's fine.
Twilight watched Warriors take an all too eager swig from his flask. He ignored it once, twice, thrice as he scraped some caked in mud out of his Epona's horseshoes. Then he noted, "You know, there's a tale in Ordon about a stable boy who liked to drink too much."
Warriors glanced at him in profile, eyes simultaneously teasing and curious. "Oh? Are you going to impart some country wisdom on me?"
Sky burst out laughing, his cheeks far too flushed. "But you two only got Courage from the Triforce!"
Twilight gingerly reached over and plucked the bottle out of Sky's hands. "That's definitely enough for you."
Time sipped his own flask slowly. "Go on, rancher."
Watching Warriors in particular, Twilight explained, "A stable boy used to steal moonshine from his boss. Never owned up to it, always enjoying getting drunk and having fun. One day he had to hide the stash from his boss, and he panicked, dunking it into the water trough. The boss' prized horse drank it and started to dance."
"Dancing horses is fun!" Wind piped in.
"Yeah, but she fell and broke her legs. They had to put her down to end her suffering." Twilight continued.
Wild's head shot up. "I don't like this story."
Warriors sighed. "Yes, yes, slovenly drunkenness is bad. We all can see the lesson here."
"The stable boy didn't own up to it, though," Twilight continued. "So the horse god punished him by turning him into a horse."
Sky hummed, eyes wide with wonder. "I want to turn into a loftwing."
Twilight laughed, reaching over and pulling the younger hero to him in a side hug. "You're a mess."
"Stuck as a horse forever, huh," Legend yawned, laying on his back and stargazing. "Kind of a nice amount of freedom to that."
"Oh, no, it doesn't end there," Twilight continued. "The next stable boy had the same vice and made the same mistake. When the first boy drank out of the trough, he danced and broke his legs as well. But he confessed his crimes before they could put him down, and for that he was transformed back."
Warriors finished off his drink, leaning against a rock. "Well. For starters. I wouldn't steal alcohol. I can just buy it."
Hyrule barked out a laugh. Twilight rolled his eyes.

🦋Now Reading are Open again.🦋
🧚🏽♀️ Unlock Universe has to Offer you ?🧚🏽♀️
Venus is a feminine energy. When you see something with the intention of embracing it. This feeling of embracing something is the feminine energy.
Venus represents beauty, comfort, luxury, pleasantness, wife and girlfriend.
Primarily How it differs from Mars?
But when you see something with the intention of its usefulness. Then that feeling is masculine energy which is Mars.
There are two ways of getting blessings of Venus.
Live the Venus- one should live the beauty instead of conquering the beauty.
Try to keep yourself clean and beautiful.
Wear branded clothes and branded jewelleries.
Decorate your house.
Spray fragrance and perfumes.
Maintain a soft and calm voice while speaking.
When you feel pleasant, your pleasantness goes into your sub-conscious mind. That sub-conscious mind is connected to universe. The nature of universe is neutral. Therefore, Universe will return that pleasantness to you.
2.Spread Venus- one should spread the happiness.
Apart from your decor items and things that you use usually. You should donate rest of the things which you are not using for years.
Because happiness increases when you spread it. Thus Venus will increase.

In case you actually do "love love", Boston Dumb Fuck.
Not sure if you do, because no one who did would take the huge, steaming dump on it that you have (even if you didn't know she was an arrogant, immature, racist, antisemetic, fat shaming clout chaser, you still signed on for a fake relationship- no matter the reason behind it, making you a liar at the expense of love), but, hey one can always hope.
Link to full horoscope with individual months, including "best" and "caution" days:

anonymous said : Mr. Ratio, I have an embarrassing problem. My teacher told me I’m not allowed to take notes in class to study later. He said if I really pushed myself and cared about my studies I should be able to memorize the lesson without needing notes to review later. Is he right?
⸻ ❝ your teacher would benefit revisiting the education system. what an antediluvian belief. ❞ even his desk , possesses a great deal of notes , bearing a myriad of annotations towards his current project. ❝ revising is essential. our memories atrophy if we do not exercise consistent practice , and as such , topics will slip from our grasp. it is an inevitable fact , that from this point onwards , you will face frustration as you cannot recall what was said earlier. ❞ steepling fingers , alabaster obscures only slightly , where empty eyes remain fixed on the asker. granting complete and utter attention , towards a raised issue that concerns him vastly.
❝ individuals each have their varied learning approaches , but our minds are a tool that must be sharpened and polished to maintain their prime condition. dismiss your teacher and his words , he clearly fails to comprehend this critical truth. continue to review where necessary , and discover the best technique that suits you. ❞
