Everything and the Kitchen Sink

Look, it's Zelda OCs out of nowhere!

Thoughts under the cut :]

I’m developing a whole winter holiday thing for a modern Hyrule (I’m using it for IAU at least) because I wanted a Christmas stand-in of some kind so I could have fun with that. I’m still working everything out, but here’s my basic ideas (and thanks to Tellie for letting me use her ancient hero idea!):

SO instead of just one day, there are four days of celebration called the goddesses festival. Each have different traditions, and the first day is always on the solstice.

For the first three, a special centerpiece is used. Families all have different ones, usually passed down by parents/grandparents, but they’re essentially fancy candleholders. They include a candle (sometimes multiple), a rounded base to hold water, and a spot to place greenery of some kind. These are symbolic of how the three goddesses are connected and how their powers intertwine in the world. It’s tradition for the women of the family to add to the centerpiece on the days necessary. The centerpiece is taken down at sunset on the fourth day, to symbolize the goddesses departure after creating the world.

The first day is Din’s day, day of power and fire. Many people host parties on this day, with lots of dancing and food. Games and sports are played, and bonfires are traditional as well. Lights are typically hung in and outside of the home as a symbol of Din’s fire, and a way to brighten the darkness of winter with the promise of coming light. The candle(s) of the centerpiece is lit on this day.

The second day is Nayru’s day, day of wisdom and water. This day is more subdued than Din’s, often spent in reflection and dwelling on the events of the past year. Music is played— often concerts are scheduled for this day— and people often go around the streets and sing to and with their neighbors. Some people choose to fast, though not many. The bottom of the centerpiece is filled with water on this day.

The third day is Farore’s day, day of courage and life. This day is also referred to as Hylia’s Eve, since the next day is Hylia’s day. People decorate their houses in greenery, often including an evergreen tree, and if the weather is good, kites are often flown, as an acknowledgement of Farore’s title of goddess of wind. Flags, banners, and ribbons are often also put up. A small wreath or some kind of plant is added around the centerpiece on this day.

- The biggest tradition of Farore’s Day is the legend that Farore’s first chosen, the Ancient Hero, flies across the world on his crimson bird and gives presents to children while they’re sleeping. He does this in memory of Hylia, as a gesture of his love for her and her love for her people.

The fourth and final day is Hylia’s day, the day of light. Presents are exchanged (supposedly delivered to the children by the Ancient Hero) and families gather together to celebrate Hylia’s love and her choice to become mortal to save her people from Demise. Traditions vary the most on this day, but family is the most significant thread. There’s often a large meal at some point, and at sunset the centerpiece is taken down.

Each of these days is especially significant to different cultures. Gorons and Gerudo put emphasis on Din’s Day, Zora put emphasis on Nayru’s Day, and Kokiri and other forest peoples put emphasis on Farore’s Day. Hylians put the most emphasis on Hylia’s Day, but celebrate the other three with equal gusto. Other places put specific emphasis on certain days, like Holodrum with Din’s Day for example. Specific traditions vary widely depending on geographic location and upbringing/heritage, but at a whole, the goddesses festival is the most widely celebrated holiday there is.

Local hero neglects his responsibilities in favor of fucking around

I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.

Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"

Tangara is an open source iPod clone, which includes bluetooth:

If you want an IPod still because of sound quality: please see my reblog of this post which has reccomendations for a Modern but Very Similar DAP/Dedicated Audio Player (What MP3 Players are called now that more file types are used) that is reasonably priced!

OP even put up notes on Rock Box (a very popular custom OS you can install on it that makes it nicer to use) under the Read More iirc!

TLDR Check out the Surfans F20 and the Sony Walkman NW A-306 !!!

They're modern ipods that have bluetooth!

If you'd like an Actual Upgraded Ipod whether it's an "old" one or an Ipod Touch - you can get one pre-built by Elite Obsolete Electronics who are linked to in the post! 🎉🎊

Have fun OP! 😁

I COULD PROBABLY CARRY THIS AT WORK.

THANK YOU TUMBLR.

Haven't draw them for a hot second

when i was a kid the I Spy books simultaneously captured my imagination in a very real way, but also introduced me to the concept of Blinding, Unidentifiable Rage at a very young age

This is Hyrule's Hyrule.

Town of Nabooro. Look at that little kid, ready to give you info, and that nice water which Link gives to the woman who opens the door to the Wiseman's house.

LU fandom slandering Hyrule's beautiful Hyrule Hurst my heart.

Like, look at him. He talks with people, he gets info, he learns spells, and gets healed by the locals. And the towns are pretty.

Also, whoever started the lies about the red ladies taking advantage of Hyrule...why? Those ladies were nice and the saviours of the hour. Love those ladies.

Ever get absolutely blindsided by a fixation

obsessed with the april fools day joke from the another crab's treasure devs

yknow ever since people realized tumblr isnt dead and have decided to flock here from twitter and tiktok ive seen a huge influx of people in fandom spaces who dont reblog anything. at all.

like, i used to have an art blog with 340 followers. not a ton but not a small amount either given how this website works with creators. and in my experience back then even the ones who only left likes still reblogged other things or at least posted their own stuff. literally the only empty blogs were clearly bots.

but on this New art blog, i've had so many people with fandom-specific headers and icons with actual usernames as urls and some kind of title or description, but have. Nothing. no posts. all they do is like things. and it's always public, too. their following list and their likes list.

and honestly all it makes me think is that these people are New and also don't know how tumblr works. how likes don't give exposure. not even in a "oh, i know it doesn't give exposure, but i'm still going to reblog anyways" way, but in a genuine honest to god straight up doesn't realize tumblr likes don't work like twitter's.

PLEASE please if you're from tiktok or twitter or whatever please reblog people's art both fandom and original if you like it!! and maybe actually pad out your blog's content in some way so people won't potentially see you as a bot and block you.

REBLOG ARTIST'S WORK. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GET ANY ATTENTION ON THIS WEBSITE OH MY GOD. PLEASE. I BEG of you

OKAY AS SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN HERE JUST THREE WEEKS, ADMITTEDLY NOT FROM TWITTER/INSTAGRAM BUT FROM PINTEREST, I NEEDED TO KNOW THIS.

yeah on instagram the only way to interact with other people's posts is either to like them, post them as a reel that lasts a day, or to save them which works how likes work on tumblr--you can see them but they don't show up on your account. Tumblr working like this is absolutely not how any other websites currently work so I definitely understand why new people don't get it, especially since we're the only site that uses the term reblog and people are always saying (correctly) not to repost things but it can feel like they're telling you not to reblog their art if you don't know the terminology.

Part 3 of the chain with Pokémon starters! That's all of them done! I definitely left Sky and Twilight last as I had the most trouble choosing for them :,) But I have my reasons for these choices (and everyone), which is why I will post later tomorrow about why I chose them! ( Then I'm done with Pokemon x LU and will get back to drawing just the LU boys C: ) Part 1 - Part 2

There should be more baby boys named Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Ezra, Zechariah, Malachi, and Habakkuk in this world. Throw in a Melchizedek, a Jethro, a Lazarus, a Jedidiah. Perhaps a Ham. Perhaps a Japheth. Perhaps a Cornelius. Do you know an Onesimus? A Tychicus? A Barnabas? An Aristarchus? A Justus? Exactly. There aren't enough of them. Not to mention HOSEA (a name that slaps, it must be said) !!!!!!!

You want Habakkuks but you draw the line at Hezekiah????

That guy who fell asleep during a 24 hour marathon playing majora’s mask will always be fucking hilarious
