if you play as a girl in video games, have a fascination with feminine clothing, and "wish you were a girl", i have some news for you- In 2017 Hagfish (“Slime eels”) caused a multiple car pileup on an Oregon highway
she's so cute ;_; this is my first time dabbling with windwaker modding, using BetterWindWaker to port over some of the HD version quality of life stuff, this Linka model, Hypatia's HD mod for the HUD, and the GirlMode that changes all the pronouns etc. really fun!
so much of the YA discourse seems predicated on the notion that capital-L-Literature is turgid, eat your vegetables pretentiousness, which seems to ignore the basic fact that these novels are so well known because they have and continue to be enjoyed by scores of ordinary people
stuff like this is why windwaker is my favourite 3D zelda, its so charming! link (or in this case, linka) is a perfect avatar because they're as much their own reckless, courageous character as they are the perfect avatar. this bit with their grandma gets me every time ;_;
COD4's AC-130 bit is still the most psychotic level in games,the pornographic depiction of the gunships armaments, the endless repetition of "good kill, i can see lotsa little pieces down there" as you flatten a nameless town, deeply ill game for a deeply ill culture
