Day in Fandom History: September 25…
Following the events of "Mirror Gem", the world's ocean is completely drained from Beach City and the Gems know who's responsible and decide to head over to where the Gem known as Lapis Lazuli is located. “Ocean Gem” premiered on this day, 10 Years Ago.
The number of times I have been delighted by witty banter only to find out later that I was “Flirting” is both unfortunate and disappointing.
Bro is fuckin COOKING and I am SO HERE FOR IT
yknow what fuck it I'm doing the rosemary talk because it fits WAY TOO FUCKING MUCH like
like like like
if it was on accident, if that was for some reason the first spice Luke could think of, I'm gonna freak
but like genuinely
gonna use this website to pull text from in case you want a source
so
there's a few things that make it
first of all, what 4 says, that 3 might be the spice he needs
and now. let's look at the kind of things rosemary represents since for some reason that was the thing he first brought up, that AHAJSALKSJMKÉLDJDLKJ
okay
"Admired for its symbolism of love and everlasting memories, as well as its deep flavour and fragrance."
"Believed to reveal a person’s true love, Rosemary has been used since ancient times in proclamations of love and fidelity. In more modern-day realms, fresh sprigs of the herb are used in wedding ceremonies to represent love and ever-lasting memories. "
"In France, the Victorian meaning of Rosemary was “your presence revives me,” perhaps because of its striking and awakening fragrance."
okay so basically, it's meant for everlasting memories, to show deep love, true love in fact, used in WEDDINGS, the whole fuckin "your presence revives me"
everlasting memories
Just look at them, these idiots know each other for so long already, he's bound to be attached, regardless if we take them as platonic or not
deep, true love
that seems to be a huge theme with it in general and honestly his connection with 3 might as well be that deep all things considered, perhaps the locket from the plane trip episode could refer back to it and all the small hints that he had that showed that 3 means a LOT to 4, and I mean a LOT A LOT
deep flavour
cmon, he's one spicey boy, I'm pretty sure that's one of the things that Luke definitely meant, which is still a little fruity honestly like really you're calling him like that after you said to him in the last one that you don't like him? Man in denial
"Your presence revives me"
CMON!. IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT. HIS WORDS WERE LIKE STRIKING FRAGNANCE, BRINGING HIM BACK TO THE REALITY WHERE HE'S LOVED!! CMON !!!!!! SEE MY VISION!!!!!!!
i dont see why i cant start a trend, so here goes. lets try to build back our attention spans. lets try to focus on just one thing for as long as possible. lets not watch those "asmr for people with adhd" videos where they fuck up adhd folks even worse. lets resist the urge to reach for our phones when watching a movie. lets read the articles we reblog, even when theyre boring. i know its hard, i have adhd too, but its worth it. i also know that this hard work doesnt always seem super impressive to other people, so id love for yall to tell me in the tags or replies if youve done something, no matter how small, for your attention span. you deserve to feel like youve taken back some of what social media has ripped from you
Stop this is so good--

Wait what this is so fucking cool
I had no idea that was the original meaning behind hanahaki, that's sick
I think that more fanfiction should be written with the aim to tackle the original meaning of hanahaki. Because when the concept of hanahaki disease was originally created, it was intended to be a metaphor for suppressing one’s feelings.
Your feelings are this beautiful garden of flora inside of your chest. When you express how you feel honestly, you allow for it to grow freely. But when you hide how you feel out of fear of rejection, and try to make it smaller and smaller, the flowers become cramped inside of you, until you choke on your own feelings. Every flower you cough up is something you’ve felt, but refused to say.
The whole “dying” thing is intended to be more symbolic especially. You’re killing off bits and pieces of yourself and how you feel, because you’re afraid to express yourself.
It’s not really supposed to be, “The one I love doesn’t love me back, and I’m dying from it.” Rather, it’s more along the lines of, “Repressing your emotions is bad for you, and it’s better and healthier to express them freely, even when it’s scary.”
Which is to say that, one, the cure for the disease should be telling the person that you are in love with how you feel. How the other person feels about the person afflicted should have nothing to do with it, as the trope is meant to be about feeling your emotions unapologetically.
And that, two, it’s not an inherently romantic trope. Obviously, it has romantic applications, but it can be written for any situation where a character is hiding how they truly feel. This can include a refusal to address a specific trauma, a desire to indulge in something that they’re ashamed of, and even really practical things, like wanting to ask one’s boss for a higher position.
Although (as an aromantic person myself) I don’t agree with this conclusion about the trope, this application would also avoid people calling it arophobic. When the thing killing the character is a refusal to be honest with themselves, rather than an unrequited love, it’s on nobody’s hands but their own to save their life.
There are a ton of ways that this interpretation of the hanahaki disease could be applied in new and interesting ways in fanfiction, and I’d love to read what things people could come up with!
So, when did 3 fall for 4? Also a "tiny" 3 analysis, and other stuff because what the fuck is OP on - the Post
Now let me preface this by my credentials, if you are not aware of my expertise. Which is countless posts about 34, mainly 3, I saw ALL the episodes with 3 in it, and in general I think I could be classified as an overanalyzer in the fandom. Like, I don't like to be overconfident of anything but I think I earned that title.
Now, onto the topic as I'm sure I had convinced you I am qualified.
3 and his love for 4. It existed in many ways. The funny thing about SMG4 canon is it's- quite- not as clearcut. It's obviously not a fnaf security breach major blunder but things don't always align.
Regardless, I think we can say, 3 loved 4 in many ways. If we concentrated on that, I think we could say he fell at first sight. But when I say fell for 4 I don't just mean a crush or simple infatuation, I mean fell for him so hard he could imagine a future beside him, as much as he lets himself daydream, like he didn't only want him for his good looks or fame, but for who he is, deeply. I'm talking when he fell for him so hard, he could not only view him as a crush to long for but someone he wanted to connect with so so badly.
And the first time he fell, it wasn't that. It was a sort of obsession. A one sided rivalry at first. Because he was jealous, he wanted to be like 4. It's- a very toxic form of love. And it indeed persisted for long, for so so long because he felt overshadowed by him with everything. Which is so interesting to me because it makes it feel like there weren't anybody else in that school. But there- definitely was. It's a school afterall. So, his obsession in that regard was definitely unhealthy. And due to something he didn't realise then.
And then like, if we try to apply classic times to modern stuff, he fell for him for his looks as well. I don't think much time passed for that as well. I just genuinely think he had the most homoerotic one sided rivalry with 4 which went unaddressed for so long it blew in their face and 4 started caring about it more.
You know, I just realised. Really stupid that I realise this while writing my analysis but I'm a honest man so I tell you that I just thought of this. We- never exactly see how memewarts was like from 4's perspective. Like maaaaaaybe the slight idea he didn't hate it because he never mentioned hating going there. The things we see of it could definitely be the worst moments or exaggerations. And it makes me realise that- I don't know exactly how memewarts was like for them, I don't even know if what we know about it is all there is to it. Because I think it's less 3 being this unhealthy and more that maybe it wasn't a one sided rivalry. Maybe 4 was just thinking it was more friendly while 3 was actively coping with his self esteem dropping from it. And if I remember right, he was actually failing at school. Probably why he went to get a psychology degree, that maybe he could learn something to better himself but that didn't work lol. Especially because right after this, his more unhealthy but honestly not one without reason obsession came. Which I'm guessing was when 4 started youtube. And yknow, after everything he went through beside him, of course the rivalry reignited and they started all over again more heated and homoerotic than ever. And then he like, had a phase of trying to be a villain in general but always went back to 4 in a way. Like sure, he talks about ruling over the world but when you strip it back it's always about how he wants to be better than 4. NO I'M NOT SAYING IT'S THE ONLY REASON. 3 has a rotten moral compass, I don't think he would be really against ruling the world if it wasn't for 4, but 4 is definitely a big motivator. Because he felt like nothing, he wanted everything so badly. To make the feeling go away. Which is why, even with its flaws, youtube arc is so immaculate. It shows him going through it, going through what 4 goes through and understanding. and I mean REALLY understanding. Because of It's Gotta Be Perfect, we know it affects him to this day.
And this is WHY when they meet the next time, he was so much chiller. Not just because the graveyard let him turn over a new leaf, but because he really understood. However things were still kind of- unsure with the 2.
I think a sliver of hope to connect, different from falling so hard that not connecting is unimabinable
in that it isn't about wanting to connect so badly, but a bit of "he isn't so bad afterall"
which was the 10 year anni movie, which is also really really awesome
Like, 3 wasn't letting go of his petty rivarly still but it became a lot less- heated. In the angst way. He could appreciate 4 from a new angle, one no one else could. Even at this point, like it was only brought up in Perfect but I promise you, I think even around these times if they just spent a little more time together, he would've been able to deliver those beautiful lines. You know the ones. I think Perfect easily would've been reasonable after Revelations. Because like, I'll be real, Lawsuit was all mainly plot and less- lore. No hate though, I like Lawsuit. AND not just because of mar4. I just had a thought that if I included here, it would get too much. Might make another ramble post after this one.
Anyways, to be back on topic. They were acquaintences with deep connections by like, middle or so of, but especially later in Genesis.
And actually, there's a really. And I mean REALLY important moment in genesis for them. Many actually but one SO SO important to 3 it might keep him up at night.
YEAH BABY
I'M MAKING THE CASE WITH MY F A V OU R I TE EPISODE THAT'S RIGHT.
I'm not saying he fell at this point. 3 in 2024 and further is so deep in the gay soup it's crazy.
I'm saying the moment they used the meme energy together was when he fell so hard. He wanted to connect so blissfully for the first time with 4. Things fell in place so well. He probably wanted this to last forever. It was probably the first time he could just- ignore the anguish and the grief he had when concerning 4. He fell for him badly then. And what else is my proof for this? You say if you aren't easily convinced.
And of course, what kind of deranged poster would I be if I didn't include further evidence of my very absolutely outragous idea!
I think 4 was less in like, deeply love at this point- but 3 was. 3 was so deep at this point. Look at that expression. That expression of "I'm really opening up to the person I hated the most because when I stop and think about it he isn't so awful and- FUCK I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM but I'm managing (not) (he's lying)"
while 4 is like. wow. this guy who was so bitter then. as a friend. I want it REALLY badly for some reason <- proceeds to not think too hard about it right now. It's very sweet anyways. Especially with Mario's line after because he's right. I wish they continued with Mario teasing them about it. I know all of us unhealthy lovers of Cosmology miss that tiny part of it. I know THAT'S why there's so many fics where Mario almost openly talks about these bitches being gay asf. And he is right each time.
Anyways while I'm at it and because I can't stop yapping about it.
I do think 4 kind of- fell here- or well started to and it slowly started to seep into him. Which is why I think Mario was also teasing him about it. I mean, Mario IS his best friend, as someone who also loves mar4, when it comes to like, general knowledge, I think, even when we consider 3, Mario is actually unbeatable. Like I think if like, 4 held a quiz for Who Is His Best friend with the crew, 3 and Mario would be the finalists and Mario would win. (they should make this into a real episode UGHGHGGGH) He knows 4 so well. Which is ALSO why his whole teasing is important. Especially because he isn't THAT stupid. I think he moreso often but not all the time lacks common sense. Like he lacks smarts when the plot demands.
Anyways, Mario aside, I'm saying Mario knew 4 fell for 3 earlier than 4 himself knew. (throwback to forced to hold hands, I think he's just waiting for something at this point because he then so easily took the idea that they're dating. he FUCKIN knooooooooooows ALSO THE HI TWITTER THING. He's tired of it at this point but he KNOWS)
But I think 4 realised his feelings when
when it hit 4 so badly that he snapped out of something awful.
Perfect.
it was then that he knew. Then that he realised how much 3 cared for him, through all of that that he- he let it out in a way. He let himself put his guard down finally. He wasn't being a bitch now. He saw just how much 3 cared about him and that care finally let him realise like, full on. anyways petition for a reverse situation where 4 can show how deeply he cares for 3. I don't even care if it makes 34 canon, I just want 3 to be weeping to see how much he means to 4. I want him to know so badly, for him to see it. We deserve it, as the collective fandom. I want it to be Trash Friends but on steroids. Like my fanfic Se- [*BANG* I am hit with with a flying stainless steel pan, cold on the floor]
list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals
cleaning or wipe your bare feet
breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone
putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head
eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground
seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view
cupping your hands into running water to wash your face
the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present
when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly
EXACTLY!!! PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY BOI'S NAME!!
people are always bullying yunobo and i can understand why, the gorons character design are so unserious and a bit stupid compared to other of the races, BUT- i do have a good thing to say about his character.
his development from BOTW to TOTK is so underrated.
like in BOTW he is insecure and could never see himself as a leader.
whereas in TOTK, after you’ve *spoiler
done the crisis at hyrule castle (the phantom ganon fight) he goes back to goron city and acts like a mature leader: when you talk to him he observes the other gorons and keeps note of what they need and what problems need solving, so he basically gives you side quests to do around goron city, which really makes him feel like a leader. well, i think he literally is a leader because he has his own company and it’s named after him. so he also has his own company now and just overall has a more leader role and it makes me really happy to see how he’s grown. it has been a while since i’ve played botw tho so i can’t exactly remember how he was in that but i do remember him not being very confident. we love character growth
believe it or not, he’s actually the sage who can talk to you the most and have an actual conversation with, and not just say how they’re preparing for the demon king. he actually talks about what’s going on in his region and this made me feel more connected to him tbh. the other sages are just like “we’re preparing for the demon king” and then don’t say anything else. so don’t discredit my silly goron like that. he’s grown a lot.
and now he has daruk’s boulder breaker too <3 daruk would be proud 🥹🔨
from the zelda wiki:
As a Goron he is strong enough to lift a boulder and punch through it. Like his ancestor, Daruk, he can use Daruk's protection for both defensive and offensive properties.
When he got older, he can use his ancestors weapon as well. Like any other goron, he can roll in a ball and can use this for both maneuverability and attacks,
but unlike the other gorons, he can infuse fire into his rolling ability, along with his weapon, causing an explosion that can break down marbled rock roast, and cracked rock walls, when he got his ancestors secret stone, his fire powers amplified greatly.
The intimacy of knowing someone's comfort things.
The movie which they always watch for a good cry. Their tea or coffee order. The color of the clothes they prefer to wear on happy days. The music they listen to on sad days. The name of their plushie that they can't sleep without. Their escape mechanisms, be it animal videos or gaming or dancing or binge watching baking videos. It is as if they are allowing you to be there for them, to share their joys and ice-creams.
It is a mortifying deal to be known but when you hug them with the warmth of sunbeams and promise to be there like the moonbeams. Then, being known feels like coming home to kick off your shoes and wear your favorite cartoon pyjamas. Being known feels like finally reaching the comfort part of hurt/comfort. Being known feels like the sigh you let out because goodness, you finally belong.
