Apparently people really like seeing the Zelda enemies get rated so here’s Octoroks!
There’s, uh… there’s kind of a lot
Legend of Zelda NES / Link’s Awakening / Oracle of Ages & Seasons
Oh. OH. OOOOHHH. Look at that! Right outta the gate and they nailed it! These guys are the perfect blend of evil and cute. I wanna have one as a pet!
10/10
The Adventure of Link
Quiet. Reserved. Thoughtful. They write poetry and might let you see it if you ask nicely. But they also spam rocks like nobody’s business and honestly they need to tone it down
7/10
Ocarina of Time / Majora’s Mask
Dear god, these make me want to cry. It’s like someone tried to squeeze a nightmare through a playdoh spaghetti maker. Just looking at this thing is giving me radiation sickness
2/10
Wind Waker
Hm. Okay, still gross, but they kinda cleaned up. Maybe too much so. Sometimes you just wanna take a boat ride but these jerks just won’t leave you alone
4/10
Phantom Hourglass / Spirit Tracks
“K-kill me, Link… every heartbeat is an eternity of suffering…”
0/10
Skyward Sword
Goin’ back to that “mysterious” look, and I kinda dig that. They’re a bit introverted and that’s okay. But they’re also stealin’ that Deku Scrub style and I gotta dock points for that
8/10
A Link to the Past / A Link Between Worlds / Tri Force Heroes
Look at ‘em!! Devious but squishy. They’re like if someone gave sentience and spite to a water balloon— just the right amount of fun and lethal
9/10
Breath of the Wild
I kinda like these guys. A little cephalopodic for my tastes, but you know what? That’s fair. Octoroks are already based on—
colored up some recent-ish Animorphs sketches… give me weird aliens and I Will put too much thought into them.
1 - general anatomy and also thinking more about that dang hoof-mouth situation
2 - some homemade dolls for Andalite kids, made from wood and dried grass-stuffed fabric. Modern Andalites don’t seem to have much of a consumer culture, but these could also be from very rural areas. Also Gafinilan seemed lonely on a different sketch layer, so he’s here now too.
I don’t think this is how efficient markets are supposed to work.
That’s obscene.
Notice how all the entertainment item such as toys and tv have gotten more affordable over the years, as necessities such as food housing and hospitol services have gotten significantly pricier.
Yeah something’s wrong here.
It’s called a paywall. The rich only look after their own.
it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and that’s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.
yes, this is terrible. as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.
it’s not over.
victor hugo wrote hunchback because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire world’s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.
the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.
renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.
it’s not the end.
Hey so, French person here. And also an ex History student. I’m here to say: Please listen to o.p. above.
Obviously everyone is shocked but here’s a few important key facts:
The roof is completely gone. Part of it dated back from the 13th century but the rest was from the 19th. The stone arch roof under the top roof is fine.
One of the three main stained glass rose windows has fallen out. Most of the other stained glass windows are okay.
The spire has fallen down and that’s the saddest part. BUT! It was in the process of being restored and the 16 statues that were there were removed just four days ago! So they’re fine.
The main structure is still here and nothing has “burned down” unlike what some people have been saying.
The “treasure” (sacred objects) is safe.
Notre Dame is still there. It’s just damaged. Almost nothing was lost today, and nobody was wounded either. It’s scary, but it’s gonna be okay.
Damn they should have used that in promotional materials. Like where normal movies put a couple words from some critic to trick you into thinking it’s worth watching, they could just put “a good tax write-off” -Led Zeppelin
It gets even better with the next Python film, though: The Life Of Brian was rejected everywhere because of its allegedly ‘blasphemous’ content. Ex-Beatle George Harrison - whose career and finances were not in the best shape at the time - read the script, liked it, said “you know what? I’d really like to watch this movie” and promptly mortgaged his house to raise the 4 million needed to make the film.
Still, to this day, the most expensive cinema ticket ever bought.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
