all versions of link sleep a lot pre adventure because their soul is weary and also deep down they know that a time will come when they cannot rest any longer
My whole life: “hehehe Link is so lazy, the boy just wants to sleep heheh what a dumb boy.”
Tumbler User LinksWings: “Have you considered maybe he carries a heavy weight in his soul and that he is destined to battle over and over again, like a war-tired Sisyphus?”
…well, I sure can’t think about anything else now, thank you.
If nothing else I think it’s funny how in mass effect 1 you can have shepard be straight up racist and they just become 100% less racist by the sequels
Shepard in ME1: “I dont need some turian shooting me in the back”
the one experience that unites all 90s and early 2000s kids is experiencing at least one work of fiction with a deceptively adorable illustration of cute animals on the cover who live in societies with an established political system, hierarchy of leadership and culture and are driven from their homes by human activity and/or engage in violent conflicts with other animals in similar communities that lead to many of the characters’ brutal deaths, which are described in graphic detail and which left you briefly emotionally traumatized by being confronted with the concept of your own fragile mortality before you were 10
the 4 horsemen
it has been brought to my attention that this was an ENTIRE GENRE of children’s fiction for some reason
You forgot An American Tail
Expectation: “Yay, cute talking animals going on fun adventures and learning about friendship!”
Reality: “These cute talking animals are going through a lot of traumatic shit. The world they live in is dangerous, the stakes are super high and these small critters deal with war, death, betrayal, and oppression. Have fun reading, kids!”
Monsters are different Chara. They really do care about you, even if they just met you. It's really weird! But that's what living life wearing your heart on your sleeve and having outstretched arms is like.
