the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.
to be honest now a lot of people have stopped talking about tears of the kingdom i'm kind of shocked i didn't see a single person point out how weird it is that they damselled zelda again. like they literally just had the opportunity to make her a main character and hang out, but they decided to jump through hoops to make her a damsel in distress for the 5 billionth time
has nobody else noticed that literally every single zelda game fujibayashi has directed finds an excuse to damsel zelda, even when it requires huge amounts of plot contrivance? literally what's up with that
^ bit odd innit. isn't it funny how the two toon link games fujibayashi didn't direct (wind waker and spirit tracks) are the ones where zelda "gets to be an actual character" and "has autonomy" and "is present in the story literally at all"
thats a bit fucked up why did he say that
widespread archaeological evidence suggests that many North Americans of this era acknowledged the existence of three genders: "men", "women", and "employees only"

I for one think cybersmith should kill himself alone and violently because he is a misogynistic Nazi who wants to brutalize women until they are reduced to mindless pets he can literally own and it doesn't matter what he looks like for me to want to wish eternal suffering on him but he does also dress like a Victorian timecop (to emulate his colonial heroes) which is stupid and hilarious and again I do think he should kill himself and I can't believe that anyone is saying otherwise
I'm sure someone has already made this observation, but the ball scene, you guys. Let's talk.
Specifically, about the apparel.
Obviously, Aziraphale worked a little bit of his angelic magic to make sure that romance was in the air so Nina and Maggie would fall for one another, but this magic also extends to the other party guests; Mrs. Sandwich not being able to say seamstress, everyone inexplicably knowing how to do the Country Dance, and, more to my point, their clothes.
Upon entering the party some people's change and others' don't, and there's a lot of symbolism there for each character based on whether or not their outfit changes.
The clothes are a direct reflection on the subconscious of that individual, magnified by Aziraphale's magic. They enter the party in the clothes they see themselves in, not necessarily what they were wearing before.
For those characters who are assured of themselves, and their fashion choices, (Aziraphale, Crowley and Nina) their appearance doesn't change at all. They're comfortable as themselves in any setting (It's important to note that Nina's clothes do change, but it's so slight that you barely notice). Fancy ball or not, they wear the same outfit they normally do because they present themselves how they see themselves. Nina even looks down at herself upon entering the shop and remarks, "I'm going mad," making her the only guest to actually acknowledge the fact that something odd is going on; she's acutely aware of herself and the world around her, so when her strong sense of self is being meddled with, she notices.
For the other characters, however, those whose outfits change, this reflects something deeper about their character which is manifesting itself in their style choices; Maggie's clothes change into something nicer than just a plain t-shirt and jeans because she wants to impress Nina, Mrs. Sandwich swaps her tracksuit for a glamorous blazer since she sees herself (as she should) as a proper businesswoman, and Ms. Cheng lets her hair down from the tight bun, signifying her "loosening up" at the party.
All this to say that Jim's Liberace get-up is even more hilarious when you think about it from this perspective.
I can relate to this on every level

Excuse you this is EXACTLY why paleontologists should play computer games
