so, that new trailer, huh? i can't wait to go to mipha court and open my phone to hear a 2-hour-long recording of Sidon ugly crying, dated on a random Tuesday at 2:50 am

Astarion drank the blood of some people, but the people were on drugs, and now he's a wizard

ok some more before I go to bed

I need need him looking at me like this

had the camera clip through him a little to see some hair and the full eyeliner

I'd just like to clarify some things about Senator Cory Booker's marathon Senate speech in protest of the present administration and everything they are doing to the American people.

Senator Booker was NOT allowed to sit down, eat, or use the bathroom during his speech. Sitting or leaving the room to use the bathroom would be considered yielding the floor. Eating would have interfered with his speaking and the person who has the senate floor must continue to speak, except when listening to questions that they will then answer.

He only took occasional sips of water.

The person who previously held the record for longest speech on the Senate floor did have bathroom breaks and also did things like read from the encyclopedia.

Senator Booker did not do that. His speech was to point out the damage that this administration is doing and he stayed on that subject.

Senator Booker's speech did reach many people. It wasn't a silly stunt that was done so that he could take the record for longest speech. He wanted to show the country that democrats will do something to bring attention to the problems we are facing. That democrats are listening to them.

Senator Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and 4 minutes to "make good trouble."

also like, a Black man breaking Strom Thurmond's record is absolutely *chef's kiss*

for those who are too young to know about Strom, he was literally a white supremacist

He trained himself to give this speech by practicing and then implementing limits on food and water intake leading up to this. He cut out food for days, then cut out water the day before.

He then went to do an appearance on Maddow after yielding.

Quick! The first OC you think of is dropped in the world of the last movie/show you watched. How are they faring?

Happy Japanese Cat Day! (Neko no hi) Ukiyo-e cats by Kuniyoshi ca. 1830.

Today NJ Transit did better than the actual US federal government:

This is their new autism acceptance locomotive wrap, with the rainbow infinity symbol and the word 'acceptance' instead of 'awareness.' NJT literally outdid the federal government, which has gone back to 'awareness' because they don't want us to exist.

I got this photo from NJ Transit's Facebook page, which is here. There are buses, too! Check 'em out! I'll definitely be on the hunt for this locomotive; it's been a while since I've done some proper trainspotting but I'm going to stake her out and get some good photos. I'm looking forward to the hunt!

Anyway, just thought you all should know that a commuter railroad is better at this than a lot of major corporations and the actual American government, so there you go.

it's called the Switch 2 because you Switch 2 a cheaper hobby

wow that is a super fair price damn

AGE OF CALAMITY PART 2 IS REAL!! ❤️

AGE OF IMPRISONMENT LETS GOOO!! 🩵

MASTER KOHGA RETURNS!!! REJOICE!!!

i do not want to hear age of calamity slander all over again and honestly i hope age of imprisonment does something similar to improve the story of tears of the kingdom. because let's be honest tears of the kingdom is an incoherent mess and i want to see it become something better because it has potential regardless of how poorly written the story ended up being

might be poking the wasp nest here but i wish the fandom in general could think beyond "the timeline" and making everything about zelink. this series has so much beautiful art for those with eyes to see it

when you unintentionally become "influential" (and i say influential with the biggest quotes bc people have praised me as some sort of backbone of the community and yet won't credit me for the work i did on gifs but that's a whole other story) in a fandom and dedicate large portions of your life to a piece of media you unfortunately get exposed to the large majority on a daily basis who hate everything good because they're too stupid to understand. help me

but i'm pleasantly surprised by the amount of people in the tags agreeing with me. only tumblr gets me. i love you guys

As an original hater, Nothing made me love Age of Calamity more than the incoherency of Tears of the Kingdom. I wish nothing but the best for Age of Imprisonment—begging on my hands and knees for a similar level of writing and thematic execution to be given to this chapter of the Zelda world because it really needs it honest to god

Thank you, TotK, for opening the eyes of hopefully many more. The one thing you did right.

Could someone explain to me what they mean by AoC is improved by the badness of TotK, I've not finished TotK but I know a large amount of what happens, (up to the final boss fight with Ganondorf). I don't need to be convinced to love AoC that shit's my bread and butter but I'm genuinely super interested in how TotK suffers in that regard?

People were upset that AOC didn't show the Champions dying as part of the gameplay because they wanted to see the utter tragedy that befell Hyrule in the run-up to BOTW. They claimed that the story of AOC was shallow and fan-servicey compared to BOTW that had some excellent nuance. The story was poor, they claimed, because it wasn't as subtle and tragic as BOTW.

Then comes TOTK. The story of which seemed incomplete, especially Zelda's side of it, which felt like a series of barely-connected scenes intended to convey emotions and look cool rather than properly tell a story. The writing for the main game and Zelda's side felt a little choppy and incomplete, with plot holes that went unexplained (where did all the Sheikah tech go?).

AOC might be shallow and fan-servicey, but it was cohesive. It did what it set out to do and told the whole story it established with no leftovers. TOTK did not do that. In light of this fact, people have come around on AOC, because while it's not BOTW, it is well-written; some might even say better than TOTK.
