Give us a lil A5, D4, E5, H3, R1?

A5. what is their most impressive talent?Illusions. Sure, he knows other spells, he’s a decent swordsman, and he’s got a good voice, but illusions are the only thing that he has which is consistently really impressive. He’s got the imagination for it, too.D4. what type of clothes and accessories do they wear?Ha ha. Well Paisley has a red paisley scarf; it’s old but it has held up well. I think the aesthetic is a lot of reds and browns. As for his normal ‘uniform’ I think it’s something along the lines of the clothes in the original moodboard. A nice old coat, sensible boots, nothing baggy enough to be dangerous, a belt with a few pouches full of components, the Chain insignia on a necklace or on a loop off his belt. As for when he’s off duty, he probably has a few nice, light, baggy shirts. He probably hasn’t gone too far from a Riojan style.E5. do they portray their personality intentionally or let people figure it out on their own?He’d make it clear to anyone that he’s friendly enough, but I think he’d let people figure him out beyond any surface level “Oh this guy’s alright.”H3. do they like the snow?Probably likes it for a couple days, or when it’s falling lightly. He probably hates it when it’s constant and he can’t avoid the cold.R1. do they follow rules?In the Chain? Yeah. I think a lot of his sensibility comes from not actively wanting to break the rules like some of the misfit Helltroopers. He’s pretty content being a soldier, so why fuck that up? If it’s harmless fun, or if he’s making sure some delinquent doesn’t die, he’s not axiomatically opposed to breaking rules, though, and he probably wouldn’t follow an objectively bad decision as an order.

Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link. 

Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.

This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap.

Hope you like it!

the actual meaning of the word aplatonic

I’ve seen a lot of hate recently on certain words used by the aromantic community to describe their experiences, so I feel that some clarification needs to be made.

The term aplatonic does not mean someone who doesn’t want friends. It does not mean someone who doesn’t have friends, or someone who is antisocial. It is not ‘uwu I don’t have any friends I’m so queeeeeer’. No, stop spreading that information. Aplatonic is simply a descriptor used by some aro people to explain that they do not experience squishes nor desire to be in qpps/qprs. (Squishes are essentially friend-crushes, it’s the aromantic equivalent of a crush, except there is not romantic attraction involved. QPRs or QPPs are queer/quasi platonic partnerships/relationships: essentially non-romantic domestic life partners)

Because of the confusing way these are often explained and because of the -platonic suffix, people unfamiliar with these terms automatically jump to “so friends?” Lemme stop you right there buddy. No, people in qpps are not 'just friends’. It is a term used to essentially describe non-romantic life partners. People in qps sometimes live together, get married, raise children together, etc. It is not 'just being best friends’. It is not trying to make friendships seem unimportant or secondary.

Many aro people do desire to be in long term relationships. They still do not experience romantic attraction (hence being aromantic). Many aro people experience squishes. However, many do not. In order to simplify this, the word aplatonic was created so that people who do not experience this can more accurately describe their experiences in the aro community with as few words as possible. There’s a lot of focus in the aro community on having qpp/qprs, so there was absolutely a necessity for this word. 

Aplatonic is a word also often used by neurodivergent aroaces who struggle with forming relationships of any kind with people, and tumblr’s quick jump to make fun of it is frankly kind of ableist.

That one post that was being spread around where the anon was asking if aplatonic people are LGBT+ was not someone asking if people who don’t want friends are LGBT+. Rather it was asking if an aroace person is in a domestic partnership with someone of the same gender as them, and they are considered LGBT+, shouldn’t all aromantic asexuals be considered LGBT+ as well because their attraction(s) are the same? (And yes, I know that in that case the partners would be seen as gay from society, even though they are aroace, but I digress) At least that was my interpretation of the ask.

The -platonic suffix is not meant to be used like the -romantic and -sexual suffixes used in the ace/aro split attraction model. The whole discourse honestly has confused a lot of people about what the split attraction model is and it’s really irking me. People gotta stop acting like 100% cis straight people are going to suddenly start identifying as aplatonic. It’s specifically an aro word to describe the ways in which aro people experience attraction. It is not an identity by itself, no one is claiming it to be. It is a descriptor of aromanticism. Anyway, people outside of the aro community need to stop policing aro words and stop taking the parts that make up a word at face value.

Spotify

Chain of Acheron, Helltrooper Beebee, a playlist by zanezanebuns on Spotify

A playlist featuring Damon Albarn, Daniel Pemberton, Flogging Molly, and others

Playlist for Helltrooper Beebee

Parakeet - Damon Albarn

Back when life was slow, before his name was Beebee, all this kid wanted to do was sit up in his tree and read. Maybe pelt a few wanks with his slingshot, take em on a good chase. It was quiet. He’d look out over the rooftops of his town and sing a little tune. He still does all that from time to time. Just keeps a better eye out for house fires.

Seasoned Oak - Daniel Pemberton

Sprinting through the woods surrounding town. Learning how to dodge trees, climbing anything and everything, falling on his ass and getting back up. Firing a bow so many times his fingers would bleed, not stopping till he hit his target enough times to be satisfied. The only thing he can’t outrun is that damned cat…

The Wrong Company - Flogging Molly

After joining up with the Chain, there were a lot of watering holes to get kicked out of. This is Beebee’s go to song - once he’s drunk enough at least.

Romanian Wind - Hans Zimmer

He may not look it - he’s tall and fairly broad shouldered, and he never takes off that coat - but Beebee has the moves on the rare occasions that he dances. It takes plenty of drink to get him singing, but you can tell he’s gone once he stands up to dance. Especially because he’ll let Elbee gracefully balance on his shoulders the whole time.

Swagger - Flogging Molly

Sloshed beyond belief, potentially lost, and having a damn good time. The goal every night he drinks. And the night he doesn’t drink is the night he’s dead.

Fix My Life - Melt Yourself Down

Like the sun is sure to rise, Beebee is sure to piss of the wrong person. Probably had it comin to em. Thing is, there’s a point when you’re squaring off against a meathead twice your size and half a dozen of his friends that you think to yourself “fuck” and book it. The cat can catch up. What else is new?

Assassins Breath - Daniel Pemberton

Sheer focus. Aiming an arrow, hearing that thud and seeing the target fall down - onto the next one. It never really stops, but does he even want it to?

Tried not to have doubles of artists on here but fuck it. Also, I couldn’t find a song that was exclusively about protecting Geddit, but that’s only because it hasn’t been written yet.
