Two Brothers Growing Up.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Fun history facts: One of the 31 people arrested at Stonewall on June 28th 1969 was American folk singer Dave Van Ronk, who was not at the Stonewall Inn at the time and was cis & straight as far as I'm aware. He'd been eating dinner at a nearby restaurant when he noticed a riot happening, said "Well I suppose I should go see what the fuss is about," stepped outside, and immediately started throwing bricks at the cops.

a phrase that kinda bothers me when talking about women's historical roles in europe is "cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children." you hear it so often, those exact words in the same order even. and once you learn a little more you realize that the massive gaping hole in that list is fiberwork. im not an expert and have no hard numbers, but i wouldnt be surprised if fiberwork took up nearly as much time as the other three tasks combined, so it's not a trivial omission.

it's not a hot take to say that the mass amnesia about fiberwork is linked to the belittlement of women's work in geneal, but i do think there's a special kind of illusion that is cast by "cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children." you hear that and think "well i cook and clean and take care of children (or i know someone who does) and i have a sense of how much work that is" and you know of course that cooking and cleaning were more laborious before modern technology, but still, you have a ballpark estimate you think, when in fact you are drastically underestimating the work load.

i also think that this just micharacterizes the role of women's work in livelihoods? cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children are all sisyphean tasks that have to be repeated the next day. these are important, but not the whole picture. when we include all kinds of fiberwork—and other things, such as making candles or soap—women's work looks much more like manufacturing, a sphere we now associate more with men's work. i feel like women's connection to making and craftsmanship is often elided.

１３か所の思い出の地を巡りゼルダ姫の想いを受け取った。 (I have visited and taken in all 13 places where Zelda’s memories were.) 思い出の中のゼルダ姫はいつも一所懸命だった。。。 (Within all those memories, Zelda was always working forwards with all her might.) 一刻も早くゼルダ姫を救い出して彼女の笑顔をもう一度この目で見たい。 (I need to save Zelda as quickly as I can, for I wish to see her smiling once more.)

After recovering Master Sword: I finally recovered the legendary Sword of Evil’s Bane, The Master Sword. It might be just my imagination, but I feel the Sword is also happy about this. Zelda still keeps her hope up that one day I will rescue her by continuing her struggle against the Calamity in Hyrule Castle But…do I have enough strength to save her as now?

Finally I have overcome the difficult Trial of the Sword. I have gained the strength, both physically and mentally to wield the Master Sword to the fullest. I believe that Zelda will also be happy and gives blessing to my growth.

OMG THIS IS CANON! THE JAPANESE JOURNAL IS WRITTEN IN FIRST PERSON. SO IT’S LINK WHO WRITES THE MEMORIES! LINK CARES SO MUCH FOR HER! ❤❤❤❤

Roku and Zuko parallel

Ever since I first saw the episode I've noticed this:

Roku doesn't even TRY to use reason, argument and emotion to get Sozin to abandon his idea of world conquest, he just bluntly says no and refuses all talk on the subject. Then later almost kills Sozin and cuts all contact with him then wonders and regrets that he hasn't changed.

Similarly Zuko throws Azula into a horrific asylum to rot and suffer alone for almost two years with no one except her hallucinations to try to convince her to change paths. Then once she's out he throws half hearted second chances at her and is surprised, sad and furious that her mind is too broken and her distrust too great to take them.

I do not have much hope for a good ending for Azula but I hope the realization of why he failed will hit Zuko eventually.

TikTok said “animate this” so I did.

“Hey!”

“What are you doing up there?”

“I can’t go back to jail!”

I feel like "which event could cost us more to miss?" is a less interesting question than... "which event has more to offer us?" Don't you?
