I Really Like This Idea - Tumblr Posts
it’s pretty much common knowledge on twitter but i don’t know if they’re widespread anywhere else? they might be, who knows, but i wanna make an informational post anyway
tone indicators!!!!
a tone indicator is a little addition to the end of a sentence, post, etc. that confirms the tone you typed it in! it’s REALLY helpful for neurodivergent people like me because in my own personal experience it’s hard for me to tell what people are exactly trying to say sometimes, especially over text. the main tone indicators i see people use are:
/j (joke)
/hj (half joking)
/lh (lighthearted)
/s (sarcasm)
/g or /gen (genuine)
/p (platonic)
/srs (serious)
/lyr (lyrics)
/c (copypasta)
/q (quote)
here are some examples:
i’m pissed off /srs
i love you!!! /p
wow way to go /s
i’ve been insensitive, i’m sorry /gen
so on and so forth!!! spread the word :)
A video game where you can move the camera POV around in the cutscenes, but it impacts the gameplay somewhat. If you keep looking at things other than the thing happening at the scene, you might not get the information you needed from the scene, and later on the dialogue options feature you asking about them instead of talking about the things you should have seen, and the NPCs may respond negatively to the fact that you evidently weren't paying attention to the Huge Fucking Demon Explosion because you were too busy looking at a bug.
You might actually die if you get distracted and wiggle the camera too much during certain cutscenes - if you look around too much during the villain's monologue, they'll go LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M FUCKING TALKING TO YOU and just start beating you instead of continuing to ramble through their speech.

So, I've been thinking.
Video games can be hard, or they can be easy. Video games can push your limits, or gently bring you up to speed.
But almost all of the time, you have the advantage.
Let's take the Tests of Strength, for example.
In these, Link gets put in a fight against a small guardian with magic / science-based weapons. They have a few limited moves they can do.
They can; Block attacks if they have a shield, strike with limited weapons, spin their weapons aggressively, spin a laser in a circle, shoot a concentrated laser at you, and break ice pillars. When you put it like that, they can't really do much.
Link can; Block attacks with shields specifically designed for fighting those types of machines, attack with certain types of shields, attack with anything from a weapon based of the machine to a literal leaf, freeze the machine temporarily, throw remote bombs at it, launch actual magic balls at it, throw things at it for bonus damage, can use it's attacks to counter them such as with flying and parrying, shot it with bows in mid air in slow motion, eat a dish that let's him temporarily fight God, and more.
When you put it that way, it doesn't seem very fair. Unless you are playing in master mode, the guardian is unable to heal. Sure, you can go into the battle in a state where it is physically impossible to beat it, but other than that not much can go wrong other than simple, human error.
So here is an idea for a battle scenario.
Remember this guy?
In OoT, if you went into one of the rooms you would be locked in with a more clear version of this guy. You attack, your Swords collide. Because I have not personally played the game, I am unaware of how you beat him (but don't tell me, I want to figure it out someday myself). However, if you wait around for long enough, your shadow will start to get thicker and thicker, until it fills in and is completely black, and the eyes go red. Now, you have to fight someone who basically spans attacks like you do, and as far as I can tell the only advantage you have is that you have items you can use, although like I said, I have not played the game.
So what if we were to take this guy,
And fight something like him in BoTW.
Imagine fighting a Link that can do everything your Link can do. Spam attacks? Yes. Switch weapons in the blink of an eye? Totally. Flurry rushes? Sure, but if he can do it, you both have some way to defend against them, which is another equalizer. Random Stasis+? It would be weird, but yes. Anything you can do, your shadow can match, and depending on your skill level probably surpass.
That would include healing.
Now, this guy probably would only be hypothetically found at the end of, let's say, something in the style of the trial of the sword. You have scavenged things across all of the floors, weapons, armor, and food to heal. Whatever you find, you bring to the fight. Anything you have access to, your equal also has. If you have a completely full inventory? The fight could theoretically last for hours. 3 hearts and a boko club? Whoever gets the first hit will probably win. Sure, this might make people drop all their weapons on the second to last floor, but if they want to be a whimp then so be it.
This would likely be totally optional, because of the possibility of it being unbelievably difficult, but the idea is awesome to think about!

Hear me out... Anko taking Sasuke under her wing right after the chunin exams!
It's very simple, Kakashi asks for her help with sealing the cursed mark and instead she takes it one step further - She starts teaching Sasuke. That way they can keep an eye on him, the last Uchiha and the one Orochimaru is after, and she can work some of her own issues and traumas and basically become an actual developed character
Anko could also keep him safe from Itachi (by not letting them meet) and kick the Sound four's asses (by finally unlocking her cursed mark's second stage) when they show up to take Sasuke. So Sasuke doesn't leave Konoha and killing Orochimaru becomes their new goal. (They team up against him and Kabuto in the future) And it can be a big and dramatic moment of freedom for both of them.
And of course I have some ideas for Naruto, Sakura and Sai as well, but for now we start with Sasuke!
I like to think Anko is a bit more of a rebel against Konoha so she wouldn't keep as many secrets from Sasuke, she would actually encourage him breaking rules and increasingly evade the system, and help guide him towards Itachi and the truth about the Uchiha massacre - she can also investigate a little on her own.
And on the topic of Itachi, he can be an actual spy! Working for the village and actually reporting back about the Akatsuki - and doing this mostly to keep Sasuke safe, since Danzou's still out there and Sasuke was his one slip up in the massacre.
I don't know if I want Itachi to survive or die in the end, but he and Sasuke will make peace before that. Also before that (and before they kill Orochimaru) Danzou's gonna put Sai on team 7 to watch Sasuke - and of course they're all gonna become bffs and join forces (maybe even with Itachi) to end Danzou <3.
Someone with more sway in the cosmere fandom help me out with this
So, we all know most people will not be able to attend the worldhopper ball at dragonsteel nexus. So let's make an online fanish event instead.
My proposal: in the days leading up to/of the ball, let's make fanworks around the idea that we were invited to Adolin and Shallan's wedding, but we couldn't go. So, gifts, letters of regret, short stories, that kind of thing. And then post them with a tag - maybe #worldhopper regrets
