SBK is the new PETA.

So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.

It's sad, because the most down to earth people tend to be outdoorsmen. Hunters, fishers, campers, hikers, ect. All have a good relationship with nature and respect for maintaining it while thinking "climate change" is a bunch of hoopla. Everyone has a critique for the forest service and the braindead politicians making environmental decisions they don't understand, but it's not a political movement. Maybe it should be.

I don't like the stupid boomer insult, but everything else is spot on. Honestly, real environmentalism--things like conservation, supporting zoos, and limiting pollution--is something the right has a really big opportunity to be leaders on. Every aspect of environmentalism is infected by the climate cult. I've talked about it before, but you can't donate to any environmental cause without there being a good possibility that your money is going to go towards lobbying politicians to ban air conditioning or instituting a gas tax. Even things like zoos are infected. Every zoo I've been to in the last 5 years has listed climate change as one of the biggest--if not the biggest--reasons why species or their habitats are endangered. Every single natural disaster is blamed on climate change.

And all of this is possible only because the right ceded the entire environmental protection movement not just to the left, but to the craziest of the crazies. People who attack whaling boats and put spikes in trees to loggers get maimed when their chainsaws strike them. The environmental terrorists are the face of environmentalism. But at least in the past the slightly less crazy ones would publicly distance themselves from the ones actually committing terrorism, even if their efforts were lukewarm. These days, the World Is In Crisis! It's the Climate Emergency! The future of humanity and the planet are literally at stake, so nothing is too extreme in the face of extinction.

We really need some right wing environmental groups. Groups that recognize the need to preserve and cherish our land and wildlife, but who also understand economic and developmental reality, along with energy needs. Groups that will actually do things like fighting beach erosion or repopulating species or rebuilding habitats that were destroyed in natural disasters, not shutting down pipelines because oil makes them mad, or seizing people's private property because there's a puddle that's just big enough to qualify as a regulated body of water on their land. I know it's a fever dream at this point, but I really do think the environmental left has gotten so crazy and so insufferable that there's a real chance to move in and make those issues our own.

Not enough people acknowledge how intelligent Link is (every incarnation)

Yea, he’s a goofy little guy. A silly fella. But all those puzzles you do in the games are canon. Even the ones that were so hard you had to give up and google them. And he doesn’t even have the visual advantage of a 3rd person POV like we do.

Not only that, but he does a lot of these puzzles in dangerous areas. He’s very smart. He may not do heavy research or have an encyclopedic knowledge of ancient history like botw/totk Zelda does, but he still displays quite often just how smart a thinker he is.

I see your 'Sky has asthma and that's why he can't run', and I raise you: Sky has Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia, and that's why he can't run.

Now, before you run away because you've never even heard of IST, hear me out. (If you don't know the condition, it's a dysautonomic heart condition vaguely similar to POTS, just without the low blood pressure.)

We all know Sky's lived above the clouds with minimal oxygen levels his entire life, as have most of his decedents, so it wouldn't make sense for him to have shitty lungs, right? That's where IST comes in. See, it's not related in the slightest to physical health or upbringing, it's just a non-genetic thing that is due to your sinus being a bit funky. It's also not life threatening, so that takes away from Skyloft needing to have non-canonical advanced medical procedures. IST's main symptom is that it severely decreases your stamina by making your heart race and you become extremely out of breath, often meaning you have to stop and wait for a bit for your heart to calm down.

Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so too.

However, and here's the real seller- unlike asthma, you can just power through and not die. It really, really sucks, but this ability is quite the gamebreaker for me when you think about all of the extreme physical tasks Sky has completed in game, not to mention his swordplay, that if he had exercise induced asthma would've very likely set off an attack. With IST tho, yes it would feel like you were dying, but it is absolutely be possible to just power through your symptoms and have no adverse effects except from your extreme discomfort and fatigue afterwards.

TLDR: Sky has Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia because it fits him so much better than asthma, as someone who has both asthma and IST. And no, this isn't just me projecting my hyper specific heart condition onto one of my favourite characters, what do you mean....

After the destruction of the ring, during his time in Cormallen, Eomer starts getting letters from nobility from all across the land, offering condolences for the death of his uncle, congratulations for his ascension to the throne, thanks for his country's support in the war, and offers of marriage for either himself, his sister, or both.

Eomer decides to enlist his knight, Meriadoc Brandybuck of Brandy Hall, to take over his correspondance for him, a task Merry takes to with zeal.

Unfortunately, no one bothered to tell Merry that all he needed to do was send some gracious lines back, acknowledging their congratulations and condolences on Eomer's behalf.

Merry knows how to write a letter properly, and if there's one thing hobbits are good for, it's getting chatty with strangers, even through writings.

He writes long, friendly letters, rambling on about the war, the House of Eorl, Rohan, horses, Bill the Pony, pipeweed, and everything else that pops into his head.

In response to the marriage proposals, well, he doesn't want anyone to waste their time, so while he writes back that "the Lady Eowyn is indeed most fair and valiant", he's actually pretty sure that she and Lord Faramir have a thing going on, or at least, Lord Faramir would like them to, and nothing has been announced but they did spend an awful lot of times holding hands and Ioreth; Ioreth one of the head healers at the Houses of Healing, very chatty but nice lady, her sister keeps a garden, said she saw Lord Faramir kissing her on the forehead on the battlements, and he gave her a mantle belonging to his mother, of course, it was rather cold, but when Merry's father courted his mother her gave her a brooch that had belonged to Merry's grandmother, who got it from her husband, who got it from an aunt, who got it in a card game (and on it goes), and as for Eomer King, well, he can't say for certain but he hasn't heard of anything going on there, so certainly, if they think Eomer and their daughters might take a fancy to each other, there could be no harm in them meeting.

And that's how Eomer ends up having daughters from every noble house thrown at him, and becomes the last man in the kingdom to find out about Eowyn and Faramir, and Merry ends up becoming pen pans with half the nobility in Middle Earth.

Of all the amazing bonds in LOTR I think the one that doesn’t get talked about enough is the relationship between Frodo and Merry

The amount of unspoken trust they have for each other is out of this world

Whether its “idk what’s going on but I trust you and I’m loyal so I’m coming to”/“I don’t know where you’re taking us but I trust you’ll get us there safely”

Or when Frodo knew he needed to leave the fellowship Merry didn’t know why and he didn’t need to know he trusted Frodo and his judgment and he kept Pippin from joining Frodo

Warriors headcanon: He's the hero before Wild. He's the Hero from 10,000 years ago. He fought the first Calamity years after his first adventure, won, and saved Hyrule. Except at the time of Linked Universe, he hasn't yet fought the Calamity. He does not know that Wild's past is his future.

Wild headcanon: He's dreading meeting the hero from the first calamity, because what would they ever think of him if they knew he failed? He's positive the Hero of 10,000 Years Ago would hate him. He's convinced they would see him as a failure. He does not know the Hero of 10,000 Years ago is his brother.

Warriors headcanon: He likes Wild. Wild is his brother. He's knows he comes after the others, and everyone knows Wild comes at the end. Which means he's sometime after Twilight/Legend/Wind and before Wild. Wild's story is a tragedy to him. Wild's story doesn't have a happy end, in his eyes. He wants to prevent it from happening at all, but if he can't, then he'll prepare Wild as best he can. Warriors is the reason the Yiga exist, but he's also the reason the Shrines were built.

Wild headcanon: He's not actually that upset over what happened to him. He's sad he lost his memories, but eventually he learns to live with the fact that he'll never recover all of them. He's sad about what happened to the Hyrule from his memories, but he loves the Hyrule he lives in now. He's got trauma from dying, but he's also got so much to live for. He mourns what he's lost, but he thanks the Shrine for a second chance. Wild's story, to him, is that of a resurrection. His story has a happy end.

Okay but seriously if you’re anxious about political results to the point of literal crippling anxiety you genuinely need help. This goes across the board and I’m saying this as a kindness because that’s not normal and not healthy.
