you know, an interpretation of ct that I don't see that I personally really love is that she's a fuck up. like yes she's cool and she has some good fight scenes, but a huge part of her character is that she makes mistakes. the mistakes that she makes are ones that on their own aren't the end of the world, but she keeps making these little mistakes, and they eventually add up until she's out of room to make any more.

a really good example of this phenomenon in action is the actions she took leading up to her final confrontation with carolina and tex.

strike one, she thought she saw something in the water, but when asked by the leader what it was, she brushed it off as nothing when even if it had been nothing, it would've been smart to tell him what she thought she saw.

strike two, she didn't sense or notice florida's presence when the leader did, and she looks at the leader twice, once as she pulled out her magnums, and again after she did a scan of the room, almost like she was looking at him for guidance before he finds florida and takes him out with one good axe throw.

strike three, she couldn't convince the leader to leave when they had the chance to get away, and her cheap tricks were not enough to hold off either tex or carolina in a fight. they were only good for incapacitating her opponents enough for her to get away, which doesn't work when she has no escape.

ct is not tex, or carolina, or south. she is not a one woman army who can get herself out of trouble when she's stuck in tough situations. she needs people who can watch her back, she need a team who can cover her when she does mess up, and the leader and his team were not those people. she couldn't bring herself to trust them, and they couldn't bring themselves to trust her, and that cost all of them their lives.

#i say i never see this interpretation of ct as if I'm not the only person having ct thoughts in 2024 lmao #red vs blue #rvb #agent connecticut #this is why wash and ct work so good together they function best in teams but theyre put in situations where theyre on their own #and they suffer because of it #but where wash had no choice in ending up w/o a team ct did #the ability to choose is a powerful tool. but being able to choose means that sometime somewhere someone will choose wrong #oh to further clarify the interpretation of ct I'm used to seeing is stereotypical hyper competent badass bitch type character #I've never really seen ct that way though tbh. she's a rebellious smart-ass who loves stating the obvious #it's honestly a pretty childish trait which i think goes well with her complex about being seen as a kid who needs excuses made for #her subpar performance in the field #basically in her head ct is james bond but in reality she's cringefail loser girl who wants to be a hero #you know what analyzing and discussing how heroism is viewed in rvb might be a pretty good essay #these colorful guys and gals aint heroes theyre all losers trying their best #anyway I'm off to attempt drawing a meta! tucker piece that may or may not turn out

I was at first in love with totk, and I still think mechanical wise, its quite impressive

And when I collected all the tears and saw the "story" I genuinely got upset in a good way (at first), because man! Did they really got the balls to go that far? Is there nothing I can do for her? Now I MUST do all the temples, see how it plays out and --oh, I've got this cutscene already. Why are all the people so dumb about Zelda, I KNOW where she is, Link say something-- Link??

After finishing all the temples and almost falling asleep, I stopped playing the game, looked up the last boss and remaining cutscenes and went "Thats it?"

Watching other people (including you) being critically about so many things, both character and mechanical wise, I've almost startled myself with a realization what the gnawing feeling I constantly had, actually was.

Totk feels like a fanfic.

And don't get me wrong, I love fanfiction, I think its great and important, I adore fanfic writers, I love finding gems, I love reading self indulgent stories, see new spins and interpretation of characters. I love the casual, the passion, the creativity!

But totk gives me the same feeling everytime I am reminded that Fifty Shades is a Twillight fanfic.

The world is there. The faces I know and grew to love are there. But everything is ever so slightly different, uncannily so. Just how some characters talk, how they act, how they were placed in the story. The Zonai appearing out of nowhere, but no, they always had been there you see, they were these super magical advanced people but they all died, the king is so tragic. And you see, the king is super cool and powerful and-- oh I dont get to interact with him outside of the tutorial. Did they try to do another King Rhoam-- but wait, that only worked because we didn't knew he was a ghost-- totk wait stop why do you take him out of the story, why couldn't he be a companion, he IS ABLE TO TALK THROUGH THE ARM LET THE OLD GOAT COMMENT ON STUFF?? If you bring up all this ancient stuff and you still got a ghost lingering, let him talk?? (I never ended up getting Mineru but I smell wasted potential as well)

Im not even mad, I am disappointed. It feels like the devs saw what all the lore hunters got attached to and talked about and then just... took the "cool". All the Zonai stuff could've easily been Sheikah tech, but got just reskinned to look more exciting instead of being its own thing.

Like... at this point I prefer what fans are doing over what Totk gave us. The characterization of Rauru (and everything Zonai), projects like you do of what totk couldve been, the little nuggets of actual highlights and details of love fans find in the game. I found much more enjoyment in these concepts than I got from a 70bucks game. And thats depressing.

I love fanfiction. I dont love it when my corporate 70 dollar, six year development, console exclusive game feels like a story that passionate fan couldve written miles better in a week (and I've already seen much cooler and interesting rewrites and ideas).

Zelda has been a huge part of my childhood and its depressing seeing it treated like that. It always was about the story, the epic, its The Legend of Zelda for crying out loud. To be courageous to enter a dungeon, to be wise and solve all the riddles. To become powerful over the journey you embarked on. Zelda to me is the campfire story you tell to others and go into the woods or the beach and imagine what monsters you would slay. Zelda is not the sandcastle you build in the sandbox and then add dinosaurs and star wars ships because you didn't had any other toys, and just stumble into and over some story to entertain yourself until lunch is ready.

I'd have an oracle of seasons over another totk any day at this point. They should've just make the mechanics of totk its own thing, but I guess they were scared it wouldn't sell if it doesn't have a Mario or Zelda skin straped over it.

Anyways, sorry for the mini rant - love your art, love your thoughts and insights, and I am looking forward to see more of it - Zelda related or not (your original characters look amazing, I adore your style sm)

Hope you have a great rest of the day!

*nods along through this entire rant*

idk how many of my rants you have read but yeah ... yeah ... and the further you think about it the further it all falls apart, the wasted potential of it all and the goddamn audacity of them to do those interviews in which they make it EVEN WORSE is just

i know the expectation for a direct sequel to botw was huge and understandbly so but i really REALLY think it would not have been that hard to make it a good follow up even taking into account that totk was originally a DLC, pretty much all of botws aspects could have been developed further, i dont know what could have happened to make totk have turned out like this .. literally it feels like something had to have gone wrong, its like someone who doesnt know zelda nor botw at all was given a few prompts and then just made some generic fantasy story while the rest worked on ultrahand for 5 years

the technical impressive things ARE technical impressive, but i dont think it was necessary nor served the game well in any way (and i LOVE building games- however totk is neither a building game nor a story game nor a zelda game nor an exploration game nor a sequel imo) but zelda, this zelda, is not made for that and i cant help but think it was mainly to encourage people to make some ridiculous mechs so it can go viral on tiktok (not trying to discredit them, it IS cool what they are doing but i .... have my doubts if zelda is the right place for that)

ill stop there bc i have ranted so much about everything i dont wanna repeat it here again; it just doesnt feel like a real game (derogatory), it feels extra bad bc i was not really into zelda when botw came out and while i did get it as soon as i could (months after release since i just started a minijob and didnt have the money) i only over time grew to love zelda this much again, devouring any theories and anything about it bc i loved it so much- i was never into it like this when a new title was announced and dont own any special editions so i bought the totk collectors bc i was just so damn excited for it after the 2019 trailer dropped (god i want that time back ... it looked so much more like it was going to be an actual sequel) even if i was already worried it wouldnt be good at that point given how much i started to sense stuff i dont like about the newer trailers

i recently sold it at our local gameshop bc it was like a thorn in my side given how expensive it was and how dissapointed i was in the game, i genuinely think that, technical impressiveness aside, totk is the onyl zelda i truly cannot stand (for alot of reasons) and im genuinely worried for the future of the franchise

i bought an Oki (Okami) figurine for what i got back and i feel much happier with that :3

(also on a note, i did finish the game two weeks after release but stopped playing it right then and hadnt touched it since, i also streamed all of what i played and its still up if you want to see my slow descend into madness fjkdhkdhjk though its been a long while since then and i by far did not talk about everything back then, just what my most immediate frustrations were while still playing)

(also the gameplay isnt as good as people make it out to be, so much is so frustrating and punishing to use i am kinda baffled it got through like that and most people call that its best aspect ..... though i guess if the rest is so much worse even mid gameplay can seem good ooooooooh how dare i)

also thank you for liking what i do!!! <3 it means alot to know it is appreciated by someone :D

#ganondoodles answers #zelda #totk #ganondoodles rants #in my playthorugh i genuinely tried to be super open to what its offering me #but i think its pretty clear that i could see were it was going pretty soon and tried to fight my fear #and then i ended up being right #like i even went out of my way to get the memories and dungeons in turns so i wouldnt spoil anything #and still you can see me get sadder and dissappointed with each new memory i got #and the time it truly all started to crumble was when i discovered what they did to the shrine of life #pretty sure after i got all the lightroots and all i got was a you did it sticker i jsut gave up and went to the end #and after that i found the endfight fun so i played it a few more times #but the last few streams were mostly me ranting jkdfngvkjdfnhgjkdf #for this price its pretty bad #idk why so many people are okay with this tbh #zelda fans deserve better #i think the wasted potential and insulting treatment of both lore - botw and even the player is what frustrates me so much #sidenote i love the username bc there sure are words #alot of them even #(good)#i have done so much ranting it feels good to read someone elses rant about similar frustrations

so there's a lot of uncertainty and debate on when phoenix actually started suspecting kristoph, if he ever trusted him, etc. and like I do get it. phoenix used to be a hell of a trusting guy, that's so real.

but he also constantly carries around a magic rock that detects lies, and I have to believe that the first time kristoph said smth about how he's so sorry this all happened, like 27 psychelocks slammed down

#ace attorney #aa #phoenix wright #aj aa #kristoph gavin #i know Phoenix is super trusting #and he wants to believe in people #but guys i really cannot fathom a reality where kristoph wouldn't constantly have psychelocks up #maybe not black from the start i could see that coming later #but liiiiiiiiiiiiike #Phoenix is a p smart dude with a literal magic rock #i think he was suspicious from very very early on #esp given how hard he went with valant and drew #bro was like i have a magatama no i will not be explaining #i am breaking the locks on your soul quit whining #no shot kristoph didn't have locks there's just no way in hell #and probably they did pop up for the first time over smth that should've been innocuous #which would be a pretty good reason for phoenix to not immediately chase down the answers #and tbh i think that would make him even more prone to bitterness #knowing it's the smart move to keep kristoph closeish and be friendly #but never to actively pry or get answers #that would drive my man phoenix to the BRINK

being emo about sparrow again but this time about how. and maybe this isn't intentional on anthony's end but it certainly FEELS intentional especially if code purple has been planned from the start. but i've been thinking a lot about how unlike grant and lark, sparrow has been willing to admit and own up to his own mistakes and then, past that, try and be better. he yells at scary in anger, and then every single time he interacts with the teens after that he is always polite even when the subject matter is difficult or touchy. normal doesn't want to be touched, sparrow stops initiating hugs and instead waits for permission. hell, between ep24 and ep37, sparrow proves that he's listening to what the teens are telling him, being actively excited at the possibility of there being a better way to handle the doodler in ep24 and then being kind to scary and in awe of normal in ep37. it's no secret either that most of the parenting techniques he's used with normal are a twisted version of henry's- like sparrow was trying to teach to henry's parenting techniques without remembering enough about them to make it work. it's just really interesting to me that anthony had mercedes tell sparrow that he needed to be better and ever since then, sparrow's been one of the only ones who is actively fighting to be better and do better even if he'd rather be the one to shoulder any bad decisions so that nobody else has to live with it. it's a fascinating character choice and i'm obsessed with it and i wish that was talked about when we talked about the kiddads

#dndads #kasey rambles #sparrow oak garcia #ive seen people write off sparrow emulating henry's parenting before but like #tbh i think thats a pretty strong indication of his character #despite everything he STILL loves his dad and proves it by trying to parent the same way henry did #and it doesn't work half because henry's parenting was modified for the twins specifically #and half because sparrow doesn't remember enough of it to be usable #but the thought was there #but sparrow being willing to admit to his own mistakes and atone for them is just. fun!#that was one of the things that got me in hindsight about the willy reveal actually #sparrow is so good at being emotionally honest even if it hurts

Dear Dylan,

We seem to have very different interests, but I tried not to take the easy way out. :) I went with a somewhat canon based AU with badboy!klaine - but I think they're mostly just taking revenge!

This is not your actual gift, it's the soft version of it. If you're interested, I'll send you the full version in private, which is a little bloody FPS PoV - I tried to bring some video game vibe. (Yes, that's all I know about video games: guns, blood, sometimes FPS. Sorry!!) It just doesn't feel right to shock people before Christmas... :)

I hope you can find something you like about this!

#sylph.txt #pkmn #yakuza #yk1 #yk2 #y0 #i'm kinda annoyed that i assigned a girl as eevee bc that's boring but IT LITERALLY HAS HARUKA'S FACE so what was i supposed to do jdfk #same deal w yumi but she was decided after haruka so it's fine #i was also thinking of changing kaoru to kilowattrel or unfezant which may have been a better choice tbh #and kommo-o would've been a good fit for ryuji #i was gnna try to make it so that everyone who was related made sense in terms of the egg groups but i did give up on that in the end #my kuze pick is rlly funny to me bc of the implication that he got so mad he died ❤️ love u kuze #nishiki ofc had to b milotic bc he's a pretty boy and he has the koi thing going on (and the tufts look like his hair...)#anyway there r a few i think i could change but i'm generally happy w my selections 🤔 (<- this is my idea of fun apparently)

BRAND! NEW! CHARLIE! REF! LET'S GOOOOO

i HATED the old one so much it was literally in two completely different styles both of which were horrendously out of date and missing a bunch of key details and UUUGH. i was so embarrassed to have it up and have people looking at it but this is SO MUCH BETTER. and hopefully it'll stick around for longer :)

#superhero oc #human oc #character design #hero oc #oc reference #reference sheet #ref sheet #original character #stanley does art #charlie grimms #HI I TALK A LOT BELOW THIS SO FEEL FREE TO SKIP IT ALL #tbh when i started working on this i just wanted a quick replacement for his old ref i wasnt expecting to go this far with it #but im glad i did bc again hopefully itll be accurate for longer #the old one had a mix of art from last april and october in it 💀 it was...not good #umm changes from that one to this one...well i transed his gender 👍#previously i was kinda waffling back n forth on it but like mannn why the hell not. im just gonna commit. gender is stored in the cowboy #updated the colors of his tattoos especially the snakes which used to be a much muddier looking black #this works a lot nicer with his overall color palette i think #earrings are now a pretty much permanent fixture bc ive been a lot more consistent with including them lately #included side views for his hair because everyone gets confused on it (I DONT BLAME THEM it is confusing)#im happy with it! it's a subtle difference that even i struggle w at times but his hair IS meant to be asymmetric #costume design didnt really change except i redid the tooling and noted that it is SUPER optional #i barely draw it if ever and it will never be the same thing twice tbh who give shit #ummm. last and most obvious change Yes He Got Bricked #part of it is subconscious to make him contrast more with alistaire who is a super twink #part of it is he was always meant to be kinda square shaped (evident in original design from 2018)#and part of it is I Learned Anatomy. this last one really did it tbh #but i like it i think he is fun to draw and having a specific body type for him really helps with consistency #also because it's funny that he objectively does not work as hard as he should for the amount of muscle that he has. like deadass #because of power fuckery and shit which i think is endlessly funny

sixth day at my new school and i didn't sit alone at lunch today 🥳🥳

#woohoo!!#some girls invited me to sit with them so i did and chatted to them and this other guy #some of them are in my classes!! they were all very nice #honestly i was aiming to just try and fit in with the cishet boys and last week when i heard the rumour i was gay i was kinda freaked out #but i've scoped out the situation and it's not unsafe to be out (as bi. not anyone's business i'm trans)#so i realise it's better to just be open and have better chances of finding the right people than living in fear and squashing myself to--#--fit in with the wrong people. bc if i can't be fully myself around someone then why would i want to be good friends with them??#so yar i'll stick with other queer guys and supportive girls. gay guy/straight girl friendships are stereotypical but it's an ecosystem tha #works in a situation like high school tbh #ooo and i guess he was away today but the guy from a couple of my classes who i think is cute is in that group so added bonus #o and actually unrelated but at recess i went to this queer group thing i was invited to by a teacher last week #(recess is first and lunch is sceond)#i wasn't sure if i was going to go (mostly bc of my 'blend in' mindset) but i'm glad i did!! it was pretty nice #mostly just nice to get an idea of 'safe' people and teachers yaknow #'people and teachers' -- those aren't two mutually exclusive categories of being ajdsgjf but ykwim #and if i didn't go then i probably wouldn't have been in the better mindset for being just myself with everyone at lunch #so wahoo yippee :D #now i just needa keep talking to everyone and putting myself out there a bit more and i'll find the right people :)

every falling out i've ever had with a friend can be put in one of two categories:

i was acting like a prick for some reason or another and they finally got fed up with my bullshit

i was doing absolutely nothing wrong and they decided to get weird and squirrelly and victim complex-y on me because i gently pushed back on something they were doing/saying, set an interpersonal boundary, failed to read their mind, did too good a job of reading their mind (ie guessing/inferring stuff about their psychology and Whole Personal Deal) and made them feel defensive and uncomfortable, etc.

the second kind actually feels way way worse and more frustrating, which can create a perverse incentive to be more of a prick so that at least when things implode i can go "yeah, fair, that was at least 50% my fault, i understand where that person's coming from, i'm not going to run myself into the ground asking myself what i could or should have done differently"

#tbh i think at this point in my life i am pretty good at accepting it when people accurately point out i did something wrong #and at taking accountability for my words and actions #which makes it all the more frustrating when someone treats me like i'm being cruel to them and i KNOW i'm not
