sometimes I wonder how we all survive and then I look at my best friends and I go “oh, I survive because I don’t want to leave you yet” and it makes sense. life is so hard a lot of the time, but I want one more bowl of pasta with you.
sudden urge to burst into tears. im not a toddler i just agree with their beliefs
Yeah, that checks out
The fact the Rito use what look like their own simplified version of compound bows.
So - for anyone who doesn't know archery, there's different types of bows you can use. The type you'll usually see in media is a long bow. (There's also flat bows, recurve bows, crossbows, etc.)
A compound bow is a more modern bow - and the most common type you'd probably use now days if you joined an archery club.
You can see the familiarities - the wheels, the supports, the shapes. The Rito bows are like a wooden version.
So why is it interesting? Well - they made the design choice to chose a more modern bow style rather than a more traditional one like a longbow dispite the fact the enviroments aren't modern. So this was a very specific design decision they made. Why are compound bows more commonly used now days? Because they take less strength to pull and fire. Simple as that. To shoot a long bow, you need very good upper arm strength. Compound bows distribute the pressure to make them easier to wield if you don't have that.
Birds have hollow bones so that they can fly, and the Rito warriors seem to mostly have slender builds for dexterity. The liklihood is that they don't have incredible muscle strength. So using compound bows makes perfect sense. They can also be lighter, because a long bow or a flat bow must be made of a solid piece of wood so it can bend without breaking, but a compound bow is usually made from hollow pieces of metal (though theoretically could be made from wood), because they don't have so much pressure on them. So they'd be able to be flown around with much easier.
This probably isn't of any interest to anyone, but it was something interesting I noticed that I wanted to share!
339 Days since Tears of the Kingdom Released. The more you know. I love design choices like this. You know video game developers are artists.
wock wee!
a part of adult life you never really realize as a child is the constant need for bowls in so many different sizes. you're always doing something and going "man i wish i had the right size bowl for this" no matter how many bowl sizes you have
last night was so good. for a moment it felt like there were enough of us. that our voices might be heard. that there were people in this country worth fighting along. but then of course the cabinet approved invading rafah anyway and the negotiations stopped. idk what to do anymore idk how to even feel like there's something i can do to stop this
anyway. we literally didn't even make it into any news websites

I feel the helplessness too.

Most of the Hebrew ones have English with them, the one that doesn't reads "Starving human beings. Didn't we say never again?"
When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.
So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".
So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.
Congratulations to Marcille DungeonMeshi for achieving Pathetic Little Man status on tumblr, a hard glass ceiling for many female characters to break. I look forward to calling you my sopping wet beast and poor little meow meow for fandom days to come. Keep trucking babygirl, you'll bag Falin one day
In a ruined world, two strangers set out in search of a miracle. What happens next is everyone's problem. 💋✨

THANK YOU so many people have stolen/reposted this comic!
…that’s nice. So who drew it, then?
You get one guess. :)
The Internet seemed to really like the previews I posted of NYC bullying Spider-Man, so here is that episode in its entirety. Enjoy!
