Its Odd, Thinking Of Myself At That Age

It’s Odd, Thinking of Myself at That Age

It’s odd to see you with a passion,

A hobby honed in normal fashion.

It’s odd to see you with such cheer,

And I wonder if it’s hiding fear.

You speak of school and say it’s boring,

But mostly good, just a few things annoying.

You give out details I didn’t ask,

But not as if it’s some arduous task.

We’re not the same. You’re young; I’m old.

But when I was nine, I wish someone’d told

Me that I could speak with disregard

To feelings, norms in high regard,

When they were around, my thoughts were safe,

My hate, my sorrow would never chafe

Against them such that I would fear

To tell them my want to disappear.

I had “reached out” even at nine,

Gave up in time, two words: “I’m fine.”

—that’s all that I could think of then,

Depressed before the age of ten.

I see you now, and think of this

And worry I may be remiss

In not prying, re-asking if you’re okay,

So you know I’d listen to what you’d say.

But what if you had never thought

Not even once, about dying?

Killing yourself?

Disappearing?

I wouldn’t want to worry you,

And you seem content with what you do.

Perhaps you are simply nine,

And need not hide behind, “I’m fine.”

Okay okay, I know Time lost the tournament but I have had this done and wanted to share :) I just think he is neat

I redrew that one frame from LU because I saw it and I was like oo. Ooooo. I also just really wanted to draw time :< reference under the cut!! Please do not tag as LOZ.

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

FOUR SKETCHES

These sketches have been hanging around in my drawings folder for a while now, I think it's about time to post them!

Besides, Little Four is so cute! When I played Minish Cap he seemed to be a very energetic and a bit naughty kind of kid, even a liiiiiittle bit more confident than he should be. Elzo was always scolding him for his antics and trying to get him to be more cautious, but gosh, who can get mad at him???, just look at him!!! he's full of innocence and determination!!!! Just a little baby.
