Haven't the Sheikah always been considered Hylian?

No, they haven't - at least not according to my memory of older games or the wikis I just checked to verify!

The only time I can find where they've been cited as such is specifically from the TotK distinction, which is why it feels so weird for the game to retcon it across the board. In prior games and canon, Sheikah were considered a separate human people/tribe similar to the distinction between Hylian and Gerudo. (The term "human" used to be a separate distinction waaaay back in the day too, but then it seems to have gotten rolled into an umbrella term by around Skyward Sword.) To make matters even MORE confusing, there's always also been the term "Hyrulean" - this has historically referred to all citizens of the country of Hyrule, not just the Hylian ones. So in that regard, while Sheikah were not Hylians, Sheikah were Hyruleans. However, TotK seems to merge these two terms now as well(?)

I don't have a huge problem with changing all that wording normally! It's whatever, sometimes you mess with your worldbuilding for whatever reason. I think it's primarily an eyebrow-raise because the change comes with the additional knowledge that the Sheikah were recently subject to a canon genocide. So it's a weird choice to retcon their race into a subrace without acknowledging it in-universe. One could say "yeah, they're a subrace now, on account of the whole genocide thing" but I .... don't think Nintendo is trying to make that point, else it would have (or should have) been stated.

Thanks for your ask!

(also i'm worried about all the Sheikah/Hylian asks being posed on anon, so I apologize if I've intimidated anyone. I know the Scotland/UK ask really threw me off, so I reacted jokingly to it without ever "answering" it, but I promise I'm not weird about discussion asks unless the asks themselves are Weird)

#loz very infrequently says 'race' also #usually it's all just 'tribes' as an analog or 'peoples' #i say this because if you go back they wont usually be separated by race but rather by those terms #also im color coding this not to be patronizing but because things get confusing with all these terms and it helps my brain sort things out #anyways thank you for the ask i do actually appreciate the discussion #also this change makes it super weird for newer fans because like #totk just goes 'n-nah theyre hylians too now its fine!' #its a fine story choice to make but its weird that it wouldnt be acknowledged as an effect of the genocide in that case #making it confusing to go backwards and see all the other terms #and making it confusing to hear fans from prior games in such Discourse like senile elderly people arguing out on the porch #answered ask #totk #sheikah #loz discussion #@other unhinged fans of prior entries correct me if i've missed anything pls #im looking directly at Polaris and Fairy Spring for sure lmao

Hazbin Hotel 4 episode premiere review Part 3

Part 1 | Part 2

I got my main criticisms out of the way so now I get to have fun and gush about the stuff I enjoyed and hopefully will continue to enjoy! Because honestly even though I think the writing and pacing are objectively bad, I'm still having fun with this series like I do with Helluva Boss, and its mainly for one reason:

The voice cast is singlehandedly carrying the show.

Viv may not be great at character design or storytelling, but if she's good at one thing she is damn good at casting.

The voice cast is perfect, they all understood the assignment. Like everyone who was saying the new cast was gonna be worse than the pilot cast for the sole reason that they weren't the pilot cast were just flat out wrong. They all ate and are all easily the most enjoyable part of the series.

Erika Henningsen was the perfect choice for Charlie, she fits the role of "Disney Princess in Hell" like a glove. She's bubbly and sweet and excitable and kind! She fits this role way better than she fit the role of Cady in the Mean Girls musical (I said what I said) She sounds so much like Mandy Moore as Rapunzel, another favorite character of mine!

Blake Roman's performance???? As Angel??? Hello sir???? My jaw was on the floor during Angel's scene with Valentino because I was absolutely blown away by his performance. It was heartbreaking and raw and impactful, a stellar performance. I have a good feeling Blake Roman is gonna get the Alex Brightman treatment after this winning combination of his performance as Angel Dust and his Broadway debut in "Harmony: A New Musical". Blake Roman is a STAR

Speaking of Alex Brightman, man do I love his voice. I've been on the Alex Brightman stan train for years now, waaaaaaaaay before Helluva Boss. I've loved Alex Brightman since his performance as Dewy Finn in the School of Rock Musical (which is criminally underrated. There could not have been a better casting decision for Dewy) Hearing Alex Brightman sing a more rock style song for the first time since his School of Rock days was so so wonderful. "Hell is Forever" was the best part of ep 1 there I said it. Not to mention his performance as Sir Pentious is also quite enjoyable. All of his voice work has gotten him so much positive exposure too! I'm so glad he's getting all the love and attention he deserves after being so underrated for so long. Its like the universe is apologizing for kicking Beetlejuice out of the Winter Garden Theater and replacing it with the Music Man and also robbing him of his Tony back in 2019. (Alex Brightman deserved Best Male Lead in a Musical at the 2019 Tony's argue with the wall)

Christian Borle as Vox was such a fun choice! I've also been a Christian Borle stan for many years now, since I listened to the "Legally Blonde" musical for the first time back in 2017 where he played Emmett Forrest. I'm always happy to hear one of my Broadway faves perform in something, and I was thrilled to find out he was going to be part of the cast!

Lili Cooper as Velvette was also a pleasant surprise! She killed it. She's brash and loud and confident and the accent was a nice touch too! Loved her as Sandy in the Spongebob musical, love her as Velvette.

I don't really have much to say about the rest of the main and supporting cast, they all sound great! I can't wait to hear Jeremy Jordan as Lucifer, Leslie Kritzer as Roise and Darren Criss as St. Peter!

And last but not least, Amir Talai as Alastor. Holy shit is he fun! Amir Talai was the voice that inspired Alastor in the first place, so I'm glad they got him in the cast! I kept seeing people say that he wasn't "intimidating enough" as a Alastor and that he was much weaker than Edward Bosco and all I have to say is:

How does it feel to be wrong?

Because Amir Talai ATE THIS UP. He devoured. Not a CRUMB IN SIGHT. I get all giggly when I hear him sing "let's begin", its so playfully sinister and perfect and lovely. Every single line delivery is perfect.

But even with such a spectacularly talented Broadway cast, the decision to make Hazbin a full on musical was.....interesting. Helluva Boss is similar because they have at least one song per episode, but Hazbin has two, and sometimes they're kind of shoehorned in with no buildup. Ep 3 is the biggest offender of this. I enjoyed Lili Cooper singing "Respectless" but the song was unnecessary. Neither one of the songs in ep 3 made any sense and honestly felt like they were there to fill the quota of "two songs per episode". "It Starts With Sorry" in ep 2 was also kinda weird, but not unforgivable.

The best songs so far are easily "Stayed Gone", "Poison" and "Losers, Baby". All three are bangers and everyone slayed. "Happy Day in Hell" is fun, feels like a typical Disney song, and "Hell is Forever" also slaps, but both songs have a lot of unnecessary swearing that throws them off course.

So yep that's pretty much it for my positives about Hazbin! I'll happily keep watching Hazbin just to hear the cast continuing to slay.

#ill do another review when the season is complete but I probably wont do it in 3 parts lol #the cast is what brings the show together #i GARUNTEE you if the cast wasnt as strong as it is Hazbin would be Dead on Arrival #theyre the ones who make it enjoyable #so the story may suck so far but Ill watch the series just to hear this cast bounce off each other #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel spoilers

#also if you vote id like to hear your reasonning in the tags #see in my story the father only see his value as someone who can give his life so others wont have to die #they only get one shot at life while his are technically endless #he gives himself body and soul and not only does it take a toll on him bc dying is extremely painful and scary #but he cant always stop people from dying where he couldve and each loss and failure weigh so heavily on him #the end result is that he is carrying so much physical and psychological pain #the son on the other end is prioritizing self care. he does not throw his life away at any opportunity for others #but he does end up being called selfish and heartless by those aware of his immortality for his inactions #idk its a fun debate for him and good father and son drama :) #tagging later

On a regular day I think that Will fell first but oh Mike fell first is just so juicy and tempting and psychologically fascinating. Did he suppress it/talk himself out of it? Was it an "I was already in love I just didn't notice" situation? Was his realization during the show but earlier than we thought and then he suppressed it? Did he convince himself that he would get over it but acknowledge that it WAS there? Did he know BEFORE the show?

Some days I dare hope. And within that hope, I must say. The Duffers are big fans of making their show as rewatchable as possible with more and more to catch. And if they were to choose, it is definitely far more rewatchable to me if Mike fell right under our noses sometime like the Snow Ball where nobody would have caught it the first time. Anytime, really, anytime before Will that could influence the perception of the show in an AMAZINGLY huge way upon a rewatch.

It just also makes the buildup so much more slow-burn to me. Basis then build up is great but buildup for THEM that we are just now being INFORMED was there???? Ooh chef's kiss.

#byler #mike wheeler #byler dynamic #the duffer brothers #hear my prayer #wont put my eggs all in one basket though i just want it taken further back #will self aware from the start also works thats great too #but also self discovery is still a great story #basically just some level of confirmed timeline woulf be cool #if not though it leaves more variety of fics though so there is always that (i am comforting myself in advance. one egg in each basket if #you will #)

the idea i've been rotating in my head this week is a disco elysium inspired post order 66 cody fic.

cody wakes up and remembers nothing. not being a purge trooper, not anything before it. he has to figure out who the hell he is and what the fuck he's supposed to be doing.

the only problem is, he doesnt seem to live a life where its safe to ask questions. and he's got about 10 different people in his head all shouting different warnings, giving him cryptic hints, and telling him information that they think is helpful (none of it is particularly helpful)

as he starts to piece things together, things get even weirder, as nothing he knows adds up. its like he's piecing together two different men. but which one is he?

a key part of this is him uncovering awful things and being like. shit. i really did that? no wonder i made myself forget.

like in disco elysium, the voices in his head are all parts of his shattered psyche. unlike disco elysium, each of them take the form and use the voice of one of codys forgotten brothers, not that he has any idea.

theres a moment where he meets one of his brothers and he's like. what the shit. youre the guy in my head.

theres a scene soon after he wakes up where he walks in on a guy that past him was in the process of torturing and is like. 'buddy, do you know who i am?' its awkward as shit cause the guy is majorly scared of him and cody is really earnest and its just this absurd moment.

#this will probably never get written a) because im not really writing atm #and b) because its another fic about purge trooper cody and i tend not to share those ones lol cause ppl dont seem to get him. #and b) because its another fic about purge trooper cody and i tend not to share those ones lol cause ppl dont seem to get him #he is a creation of his enviroment. he is a violent product of a violent world. and yet. #he is horrible and yet also sympathetic. #i love exploring this version of cody but i tend to do it for my eyes only #cause tbh ppl tend to prefer a different version of him and im not in the business of either writing ppl to be cartoonishly evil. or #sanding them down and ignoring anything bad theyve done/giving them no flaws. #theres nuance to my purge trooper cody that i worry ppl wont see lol and i dont want to hear it so he's all mine) #you guys can probably tell lol but what i actually mean by 'im not writing' is that im not editing. and therefore not sharing anything #i still write un punctuated trains of conciousness in my notes for me. sorry #im not editing and im not finishing stories but im still. storying. to entertain myself #star wars au

yk every time i see a post about somebody wishing bad things on another person i think ‘dirt-strider to kiryu’ you’ve broken me brain

You see a post thats like i want to stick him in time prison so that he gets so bored he starts breaking his own bones to get even a hint of stimulation and its tagged me at kiryu and you scroll down and its a post thats like i want to feed him chips from my cupped hands like a wild stallion and its also tagged me at kiryu also hiiiiiiiii

#Thanks for the ask ! #i wont lie to you i want to do yo kiryu what they did to the family in reddot story the pancake family #his life is a bit too easy i want to give him more obstacles thats why im kidnapping him and breaking my little prince’s ankles and #releasing him in a forest in another country altogether and he has to survive with his injuries until they heal and they will heal wrong and #it will forever hurt to walk now and also when he sees another human being now he will always flinch and he has nightmares every night about #being feverish and starving to death and years into his recovery i meet him again and invite him to watch a movie with me but when i put the #tape in its actually just a highlight reel of his time in the wilderness and he gets scared but he cant move and its because i gave him some #tea earlier and oh this ? its laced with drugs. and he sits blearily beside me and im holding his head up so he watches the screen and he #recalls every terrible thing thats happened to him i put the tv on full volume so he can relive the leaves and twigs cracking under his #hands and knees as hes dragging himself across the forest floor and and his clipped shouts of pain whenever his broken bones catch on a root #and his enraged screaming as he grapples foxes and coyotes that are trying to scavenge the food he painstakingly gathered and he can listen #to the way his voice devolves into something unrecognisable and hes wondering how i got this footage but then he realises this scene is #familiar hes on his last legs and he hears footsteps approach not those of an animal but of a person. he looks at the screen and he sees his #own face staring into the camera wild eyed and filthy and that on the other side of the camera is the hitchhiker who ‘found’ him and he #realises it was me who did this. i could have rescued him at any time the gratefulness he feels to that kind samaritan curdles in his chest #it comes with the withering realisation it was all a game and the one who put him through it all was right beside him and i laugh and put my #hand around his shoulder and ask if he liked the movie and he fights his paralysis and he grips me by the neck and throws me to the ground #and he says you .. you ... and i frown apologetically and say That bad huh ? well we can put on another. and he cant even say words anymore #hes so angry that he grips my neck and he strangles me and the whole time my face gets purple im laughing and laughing and laughing at him #anyway thats one of my greatest fantasies its a fantasy because i couldnt do that to the poor guy im not that mean but i do want him to kill #me and for me to deserve it. very important that i started this fight and that he ends it thats what i want to have ... and also to like #cuddle and stuff ... because i like him ...

So I do this thing when I join new fandoms where I say I won't ship anything, because I don't like shipping. And then I find art of a pairing that's really cute or really funny, so I reblog it because "oh it's just cute / funny" or "oh it's just a silly crack ship". And then I find more. And now here I am, reblog account covered in Royalteeth, frothing at the mouth and scavenging the tags every two days. Apparently, I kinda like shipping.

#mackerel posts #silly post #romance tag #i do think the idea of me putting a show out there one day is funny #because i know im gonna try to do that cool creator thing where everyone can do what they want and i just wont engage in anything #but as soon as i see a 'crack ship' with cute or funny art #its over. its so over #im done and im doomed and this is taking over my life #its the new canon in my heart but not on paper #by 'not engage' i meant specifically for shipping #i will absolutely be engaging in everything tho because i know me and i go hehehehhehe whenever anyone likes my creeturs #i dont thing therell be much TO ship in flawless because they all hate each other so much #*think #although enemies to lovers is pretty popular #but none of them are enemies #the real danger zone (/silly) is the story with Desdemona #i have a feeling there will be lots of opinions and pairings for that one #totally not related but if you ever wanna hear about my stories my asks are open!!

ive been extremely burnt out with valorant but i wont lie. iso's abilties look extremely cool. his ult just being a forced 1v1 is actually insaneballs as a concept.

#i hope that he has some story relevance thats Cool and makes sense because i wont lie #after fade got released i cant string together the plot anymore . im completely uninterested at this point #ALSO ... imho. as insanely drippy as Iso is his design feels lacking #i wanna hear da thoughts and onions you guys have ...

[flamboyant-king]

I’ve been hearing different kinds of art advice and I’m torn on them.

Should you go through and finish something even though it doesn’t look good and is flawed in many ways OR scrap the piece and do it a different way/abandon the idea altogether?

#im a person who doesnt want to waste resources. If im unsure of the outcome then i dont do it #i dont know how to sew or bake because i dont want to waste fabric or ingredients on a fuck up #but i want to have fun DOING SOMETHING. Like haha baking cupcakes would be fun haha oh no its burnt #i havent gone through with ANY STORY IDEA ive had because i dont know how it willbegin all the way to the end #and im hearing advice like make that shitty make that shitty game but i cant bring myself to even start it #like i CANT make things without a purpose. If i dont have the finished product in mind #im too afraid to mess up im too afraid to fail #but like doing nothing is worse than failing no? #the other advice i saw was just leaving things as sketches. Not everything needs to be finished and not everything needs to be seen #and thats another issue i have. Not only will i not do things unless i know the productis good #i wont show you guys anything unless its appealing. And combining those two..li just dont make anything anymore #like…i cant take either advice because of how embarassed ashamed and afraid of failure i am #i want to let loose. I want to be free. I want to create nonsense from the heart rather than thinking everything through and through #every meticulous detail. Every sketch upon sketch upon sketchto deliver on something no one will see #i get that. I get that im not hot shit. Im not big or important. I have nothing left to bring to the table and #i guess knowing that stops me from doing anything because i think that the only thing im allowed/forced to do is make things worthy #i dont display my art in my room anymore. I dont doodle random things anymore. I open commissions because my drawings need a purpose #and thats stupid because im nobody. I have no purpose. My purpose is just to enjoy life. And being like THIS isnt enjoying life #its not even drawing its just anything. Socializing being with friends or family. Watching movies or playing games #i cant enjoy myself. Because i dont know how its going to GO. Thats not living. Life isnt fucking planned. Its spontaneous #but i cant DO that. And I dont know how to fix it. #but thats enough about me. What advice to you go by? Just going with it or redoing it?

[reiboom90]

Wait there's actually people that hate erik and think he is didnr deserve love? They probably didnt read the book if they think erik is this "villainy"

I really suggest to read the original novel first before looking at other adaptations because trust me it's more complex than you think it is. Also no melek is an original character that mazm created and did not exist in any other adaptations nor the original novel

#mazm phantom of the opera #i wont get tired saying this again and again but i haaate how mazm villainize erik #its true that what he did is wrong but are you going to deny he has a very rough past #and bruh hes capable of love just look at him and daroga's friendship that last for decades #i dont want to hear you understand the story if you just too focused on erik and not look at the other flaws that this game has #phantom of the opera #erik

giving a different shout out to the kid in my class who gave a 3 minute speech about how much he hated the monarchy at 12 years old. that was awesome

#it was a good speech! from what i remember anyway #our teacher liked it #wonder how he's feeling about everything now. probably nothing positive #oh actually only mildly related but its related nonetheless so storytime #cw for religious homophobia #everyone in our year had to do a speech on a subject of our choice #i chose the queer community because i was such a good hashtag ally #the girl i considered my best friend at the time chose to do one on how much she hated gay people after learning my chosen subject #which was. interesting. #she did the whole i just don't agree with the lifestyle choices bc its sinful but i dont hate the people themselves thing #upon hearing this my teacher immediately put her in her place in front of the entire class #i wont repeat the story he told us because it was a) very personal and b) incredibly tragic. but needless to say she shut up after that #it didn't change her mind unfortunately but it DID end up being an example of the kinds of things used in a good speech #(anecdotes + emotive language + direct engagement with the audience) #despite being improvised #i genuinely love that teacher so much he's done multiple very cool things for me and my friends this being only one of them #btw irl friends i will elaborate in dms if you want #pluto talks #q
