I vaguely remembered that I’d woken up last night at 2am and scrambled desperately for my phone to Wikipedia-search something I just HAD to know, then immediately fell back to sleep.
But for the life of me, I could not remember what I had searched. Curious, I opened my phone’s browser to see this:
You know that feeling: it’s 2am and you really really need to immediately read the biography of Maximilien Robespierre. We’ve all been there.
a rough concept for how Dongos (engl. dondon?) work in my rewrite, i want them to actually … be something beside a gem vending maschine :(
more info, both from the image and extra
they are ridable and tameable
slow movement
can climb almost any wall and dig through rocks and ore deposits quickly
they hang on walls here and there in the underground
big mole like front paws for digging and climbing, hooves at the back legs with one big claw so they can hang securely on a wall
two saddles can be attached (for link and zelda)
they have little appendages on their chin for sensing food
Gigama (frox) prey on them, hence their shell and pattern like the ground for hiding (if they get hit by a gigama they will burrow away and you have to call them again)
big orange-white eyes like cave or deep sea creatures so they can take in as much of the little light avaible in the dark
they are now found in small herds but were nearly driven to extinction twice as both the sonau and later the ancient shiekah mined for luminous stones which is their primary food source (hence the glowing of the horns, teeth and claws)
(idea?
the yiga have little mini stables in the underground bc they also use the Dongos to get around, once you have at least the mask OR have koga as sage unlocked you can register Dongos at their places and call them while in the depths anywhere as long as they are not in the stable)
i dont think they should be able to get to the surface, or if they do they can only be used at night bc the light of the sun would damage their eyes and/or hurt them otherwise, given that they evolved in nigh total darkness
i love seeing doctor who posts as someone who has never watched doctor who and only knows about it from tumblr. like yes, tell me about these pathetic blorbos. i understand nothing. i will like it and vote on the polls anyways
Off duty [in Aldbourne] the men spent time relaxing in camp or hoping for passes to London. One man who was especially adept at finagling passes was Joe Liebgott, a clever and highly talented soldier who doubled as the company’s barber. ‘You know, sir,’ Liebgott said as he trimmed Winters’ hair, ‘between all the drills and the men wanting haircuts, it really wears me down.’ ‘Joe, why is it this subject only comes up when you are halfway through my haircuts?’ Winters asked. ‘Ahh, Captain,’ Liebgott whined. ‘You make it sound like I’m deliberately maneuvering you. It’s just that when I have you in the chair is when I think of it.’ ‘Uh-huh,’ Winters said. ‘And if I want you to finish the job on me and make it look good, you need to be assured of a three-day pass.’ ‘It sure would help my mental well-being,’ Liebgott said. ‘Okay, Joe. If you don’t cut my ear off, you got your pass.’ Liebgott smiled. It worked every time.

so i'm watching the part from last stream where jaiden showed cellbit and richas around her secret home, and everything i'm watching is really really sweet, but i can't help but notice chat at the time at each others throats debating what their duo name is in real time.
Forgot to take my allergy meds this morning so I was very sniffly and pathetic when I got to my therapy session so my therapist offered me some of his meds and then after I took it he went "this is probably the only medication I am legally allowed to give you"
