#the newly lost

[mumblelard]

still singing the old work songs or my life without molecules

clarice doesn't dream of labor either, just look at her dance

#bowls of cold pears #kitchen tables #filled with play #clarice #ruth #giggling and twirling #windowsills #boba #inspecting #everything #this is the weekend when the scattered migrate to past homes #finding out if return is possible #shock sends them out into the night for moments of chilly reflection #the newly lost #gathering in old haunts #places in the woods where kids drink #the basements of the long lost #surrounded by all the people they used to know #pandemic era #fourth autumn #and that would fix everything

i thrifted a copy of walden by henry david thoreau, and when i opened it up, it had the original receipt from february 28, 1958! the book was 65 cents. the receipt has been in there so long that it discolored the pages. there are notes throughout the book in pencil. it’s so cool to accidentally stumble across a piece of everyday history.

1958 ANON.............no but my heart is going to actually burst because truly this is one of my favourite favourite FAVOURITE things on earth anon i cannot BEGIN.....😭😭😭 imagine being in touch (literally!!!) w a complete stranger and their thoughts through this 65 year old thread this is so precious to me thank you thank you thank you for sharing this!!!!!!!!!!!

#this could be somebody's grandparent today................. #this is the best thing about secondhand books to me the absolute best newly printed cannot even BEGIN to compare........................ #once took out a library book that hadn't been checked out since the 50s and i nearly lost my mind looking at the due date stamps......... #ask #anonymous #humanity i love you

do you fw he/they greedling

I mean when referring to the collective greedling character it's more of a 'they/them' situation isn't it? :P

#also the squinting I did reading this before i realized 'fw' was an acronym lmao #but yeah if you want a less jokey answer I do see ling as canonically pretty solidly he/him #but i think all the homunculi are some flavor of genderqueer #in the sense I think they don't really have traditional human gender at all #so whatever they happen to pick is more performance than anything #of all the homunculi lust and greed are the most 'gender coded' but even then I think they just roll with whatever they're called #like if greed had ended up with lan fan after being newly minted I'm sure he would've gone with she/her #and lost no sleep over it should he get booted somewhere else with different pronouns #reply #fma

#..... #i KNOW it was a taz fansong. i KNOW its literally about taako taako #..... BUT. #'i have lived a hundred lives and i have died a dozen times but the reaper hasnt caught me yet' #'i have learned a trick or two though ive forgotten quite a few' #'might have told a hundred lies twice as many half as true' #'waiting as a i fail to rise' #'faces newly strange id find none of them resembling mine' #'for i had been your long lost twin closer than a second skin and now i am alone again' #not going to say what character because its embarrasing and you already know who it is #'its a reach' I KNOWW SHUT UP. BUT I HAVE TO THINK ABT CHARACTRR ON THE BUS OKAY.

What if Rei when he isn’t just posting memes on Ingo’s account he also posts very ominous photos. Just him taking a picture of the broken sky above mount coronet with the caption “the gods are screaming in pain” immediately followed by another post where he goes “anyways this is my amnesia uncle Ingo and his sneasles”

YES rei can literally go from "haha memes" to "everything you know and love is leaving"

#emmet is in shock #and ingo has pretty much lost his phone to rei #i couldnt get any good photos of sneasels so theyre not mentioned #but i promise rei tweets about them ALL the time with his newly dubed uncle ingo #pokemon arecus rei #pokemon legends arceus #subway boss ingo #submas #subway boss emmet #pokemon elesa #might draw some photos myself to put in

It always makes me so sad how little effort there has been to try to identify this song. I really wish it would get wide-scale attention because it is such a good song. Like pretty much all the info we have for it is that the song references Martha’s Vineyard and its from a cassette found in California. Even a time period is hard to pin down because style-wise the song could range from the 70s to 90s and that’s only a rough guess, it very much could have come later. I know I’ve posted on this before, but this is like my unidentified media holy grail so I’m just so invested in it.

#Music #Lost media #lostwave #unidentified #mystery #even if this was just someone trying to drum up attention for their song by having it be “newly discovered” #I don’t care they deserve their props for this

Honestly I don't know if I'm remembering it wrong due to sleep deprivation, but out of everything in TOTK one of my favorite little details is that Zelda's eyes in her Divine Noodle (affectionate) form when Demon King's flames hit or graze her tremble a little, more so around the pupils than the iris

The implications are absolutely delicious when you think about it, either it's an expression of deep seated, primal fear which she would probably feel as a dragon even if her main instinct is to help Link, it makes sense she'd feel distressed when faced with a bigger predator if we assume the dragons actually work like wild animals (I mean have we looked at Demon King's full size and length? He absolutely overshadows her and he's clearly going in for the kill, what with that initial bite, he's clearly not only gunning for Link and for Hyrule but also for her specifically), because Zelda by nature is not a warrior, she will fight for her people and to defend her people but she's not one to start the conflict, she's not one to HUNT, so when faced with something actively doing so it makes sense she'd be a little afraid, just because you are made to fight the divine threat from birth doesn't mean you can't fear death in the process('Courage is not the absence of fear but the will to rise against it even when you're afraid' and all that), immortality or not and trust me I'm getting to that part-

And arguably the more interesting implication: that dragons can feel pain/get hurt from other beings in a similar status, which also puts their immortality into question. Because that little twitch can also be because the flames actually hurt her.

One thing I always found interesting in TOTK is the dragon skeletons deep down in the Depths, they're parallel with the Leviathan skeletons, sure, but the fact that the dragons that we know can come and go from the depths and that there are actual skeletons there makes me look at them side by side and think "Oh those are dragons" rather than Leviathans, which begs the question: what could have killed them if dragons are immortal and can live for such long periods of time? What could have killed them when none of our weapons (including the Master Sword mind you) can't hurt Naydra, Dinraal, Farosh and Zelda in a way that matters?

I think the best answer in this case is given to us by Zelda's reaction (assuming I'm not wrong and didn't just imagine it due to sleep deprivation) to the Demon King's flames.

Maybe, just maybe, what caused them to die was likely another dragon. Which means that dragons can actually die, just not through age or natural means, but have to actively be killed through the right means/being for it to stick. Which also tracks with a lot of divine lore in LOZ in general, Demise/Ganondorf only being able to be brought low by the Master Sword wielded by someone who posseses the Hero's Spirit (or that has become worthy of it is we see in Wind Waker) because it's quite literally a divine blade, Hylia actively giving up her immortal form to become a mortal but still slumbering/existing in a separate realm outside of time can also be considered a form of divine death, not to mention Bellum being in the process of killing the Ocean King in Phantom Hourglass. Divine beings have always had an element of mortality to them in LOZ, and it's not too much of a stretch to think that pattern might hold true in TOTK.

(Personally I think maybe the dragons we know might have killed the others in a territory/route dispute, if we go with the fact that a person loses themselves when they consume a secret stone and is guided by their base instincts/whatever goal they had before becoming a dragon, I don't think territory disputes would be all that far fetched, or some other goal which would motivate possible aggression.)

Although there's also the other possibility to consider: we get the armor set of the wild on the heads of those skeletons in TOTK, and we know for a FACT there was a hero before BOTW/TOTK Link, not only through the Ancient Hero's Aspect (which I have so many thoughts/headcanons about) but also through the tapestry in BOTW no matter what the heck happened to the lore in between games, you can still work with the information that there was a hero before BOTW/TOTK Link, and possibly one even before that one if we assume the armor set in the depths isn't from the Original Calamity Hero.

What I'm pitching here basically is, Original Calamity Link/another possible Link was likely a dragon slayer (not uncommon among Links, but how many Links killed an actual possibly divine dragon?), and possibly the one to kill the dragons in the depths and that maybe, just maybe we should have a game one day or a manga which either clarifies or debunks that- wait I know it sounds insane but listen stop walking away-

(Also if it's indeed a sign that Zelda feels pain it honestly ramps up Wild's/TOTK Link's motivation to kill Ganondorf WAY up because I too would want to eviscerate anyone who hurt Zelda even if she can't outwardly show it.

Also also- divine flame scars on Zelda where the gloom fueled fire grazed/hit her in her dragon form, you wouldn't be able to see it normally, but once she turns back into hylian they're there as another showing of how her time as a dragon will always stick and haunt her.)

i think that paul actually tells a lot of people that he’s a vampire cause it’s like one of the only things he has to brag about and he wants to look cool

#it's like that one scene in the wwdits movie where that one guy is like newly turned and is telling everyone he sees about it #except that paul has been doing this for 10 years with no sign of stopping #the lost boys #tlb #kate's bad takes

Had to move the mistletoe cactus to the plant shelf because the shelf it was on was too short and it kept getting branches caught in the vent but from the looks of it this will be an ongoing problem

#hes..... so fucking big #nottrek #plant dad in action #mendel #i dont even know if its meant to hang or if i ahould be supporting it or what ill have to google it #also i moved the burros tail to the newly empty shelf because its too long to stay on my desk #and the little drama queen lost like 6 leaves on the trip #that diva #fortunately it also cleared enough space for the date palm to go somewhere i can keep an eye on it #because he has always been sickly yet is somehow still alive a year on #please ignore the unfinished plywood edges its a work in progress hense the wood on the floor

Damn that looks nasty, I doubt you want to cut it off, I don't even know if that would do anything

It's the only arm I have left, don't take it... *New Eclipse pulls it away and hides it close to his chest*

what is interesting about this being the Media Consumption Site (for me anyway) is that the like social sphere of interaction is shaped by things that would never impact any other community?

like, sometimes I will click on a funny post and look through the blog and be like “I bet op and I would get along if we knew each other irl but they hate all the shows I like and I am at best indifferent to all the shows they like so I’m not going to follow them because this is the Blorbo Gifset Website”

but at work, or school, or whatever, you meet people and make friends and preferences in media/art are just largely...not a factor in my experience? I mean, certainly getting friends into things you like is a thing that happens but I’m not out here ceasing interaction with my irl friend because she really likes Schitt’s Creek and I couldn’t get into it.

And obviously that’s because we have other stuff tying us together - here if we define ourselves by what we are posting about, of course that’s going to be the primary driver of social ties, because that’s what we’re here to do - but it’s still always odd to me to have that feeling of “huh too bad you think my fandoms are cringe” or whatever preventing me from seeking people out.

Anyway I think this is why the whole thing of “mutual that doesn’t post about anything you’re into anymore” is such a specific category of person, bc it’s an indicator that you liked the person enough that even when the thing you had in common is gone, you still want to be around them.

it’s a bit like how you have work friends and then you leave the job and most of them you don’t stay friends with because you don’t have the thing that tied you together in common anymore, I guess, it’s just that the situation of “really into this specific show I am also really into” is basically never the bonding point irl, so it feels particularly odd to me.

(edit: Also, ‘unfollowing’ is an interpersonally neutral act because of these boundaries: ie, your content is no longer what I want to see but it doesn’t mean you as an individual did anything ‘wrong’ - but I think it often feels personal because of expectations in other social spheres)

#cherry whines #fwiw i also don't think 'following' constitutes a friend relationship #but in terms of this is a social networking site and these are the people i choose for my social network #i'm not actually like. wow i love xfilesgifsdaily or whomever as a person #but i put them in my network of interactions #i guess for people who don't use this website for Fandom Shit none of this applies tho lmao #oh also. when someone you lost common interests with is now into something you're now newly into #like running into your old work friend at your new job

i think its very nasty when patreon creators change it so that there are no benefits to your memberships without letting you know so you're still just paying for nothing lkfjlksfj

#i normally never pay for early access but i decided to do $2 a month for early access for mods which felt reasonable to me #but then i go and see that now the creator changed it so that tier newly is just for 'people who want to support with no strings attached' #ah yes... the 'strings' of... having access to your mods first? #also if i did get some kind of email notifying me about this and it got lost in my inbox then i take back some of my ire but #im pretty sure i didnt. sorry if wrong
