Beautiful Loser

I’m just here to whine. She confirms for the second time that the album is done so WHAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK, LANA, JUST RELEASE THE DAMN ALBUM AND TAKE ALL OUR MONEY ALREADY?????

Nintendo announced a non-canon spinoff game, Crypt of the Necrodancer, where you can play as Link and Zelda in a retro styled Hyrule, as seen in the trailer. I’ve never heard of the franchise before but apparently it’s a rhythm based game where you have to defeat enemies, move and solve puzzles by tapping to the beat or something. So that basically means that you would see Link and Zelda dance I guess lol. https://twitter.com/nintendoamerica/status/1108404248876740609?s=21 I don’t think I’ll buy this, but I just thought I’d share the news here in case someone’s interested.

Sorry for bumping this up, but I watched this video in January I think and it's pretty brilliant. I know it's kind of long, but watch it. It explains some of the background of OoT, cultural influences, looking deeper into keywords and why it's such a great game. It's just a well-made video going deeper than what most players pay attention to and might have missed, especially if you played the game as a child. I've personally watched this video at least two or three times, oops. I never realized until I watched this that Link actually can't fully return to his childhood because Navi flew away at the end of the game... I had never thought about that small but important detail until then and it just made me feel so sad.

Oh, I forgot to post it here - I noticed maybe last week that she had released a new song in February, it's just as chill and smooth as the songs in FEELS.

I know what you mean. I was studying in another town when the terror attack happened in Stockholm, but had it happened a year earlier, it might as well have been me who got killed. Hugs.

I already have the standard edition of his debut album but I ordered the special edition together with Wasteland, Baby! and the pictures inside the CD are so pretty and the vinyl is gorgeous and I love that you can see the details of the canvas painting of the cover so clearly! I love everything so so much! The colored vinyl remind me a bit of candy or a lollipop l, just like Lana’s red Honeymoon vinyls.

I just read on Twitter that BTD has spent 316 weeks on BB 200 and that’s it’s now the longest charting debut album by a (solo?) female singer.

I hope they’ll come up with some exceptional pictures, I feel so desperate for something wonderful in this dry era, haha.

I've been playing Super Mario Odyssey lately and I reached Bowser's Castle tonight. This song is really catchy!! Perfect distribution between playfulness and a bit of a dangerous vibe. I just missed real fire and lava at the castle, the lava was... pink instead. And shy guys. I really miss the shy guys in this game lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqyEvdalS4k

(The official homepage changed the tab on the menu from "STORE" to "TAKE ME TO MERCH" earlier today after Hozier seeing someone tweeting the suggestion a few days ago... I just thought it's funny and cool that he/his staff check what fans tweet about. ^-^ )

Saw this on reddit

Hozier snatched the first place on Billboard's 200 too! Yay! Billboard also writes that Wasteland, Baby! "earned 89 000 album units in the US [...] Of that sum, 75 000 were in album sales". https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8501829/hozier-debuts-no-1-billboard-200-chart-wasteland-baby

Many thanks to @@Amadeus for playing Malamente and Pienso en tu mira last night, this girl sure is different and special. I like how she mixes an old and classic sound with something new so that it sounds fresh and interesting. Her voice is great! Not everyone can sing like that. I just finished playing El mal querer and I’m continuing with Los Ángeles now. I might have to listen to El mal querer again to remember the songs properly. Edit: Whew, her VOICE in De Plata!!

The album got the number one spot in Ireland and a video for Almost was filmed yesterday. He shared a picture and it seems that the international women’s day could’ve inspired the video.

Everything in this post screams “THIS!!” and you expressed my opinion perfectly. Thank you.

Oh, I never seen Lana as tan but whatever. :B I just mean that I’m glad I don’t see her promoting stupid (cheap) fashion brands or detox teas or anything and I’m glad she’s not traveling overseas just to take a few pictures and write a nice review because a flight company paid everything for her, lol.

I'm actually extremely glad she's not doing (or showing us) any of this, I'd die of cringe if she did.

I thought for a second that she meant the second album cover shoot. ;n;

One dollar? Hmm, we’ll see about that...

Music video for D&D got released 15 minutes ago... Witchy king? O___o If I ever get close to the man, I'll give him a toothbrush to remind him to take care of his teeth in between possessing young women and getting himself on fire.

Hmmmm... I’m still not sure what I think about her poetry. But I’ve never really been interested in poetry in my life so maybe I don’t get it.

You’re welcome. ^^’

Yes. Do you own a piece of clothing that you want to wear but is afraid to?

These are things I have noticed as well but I haven't felt disturbed by it. And, just to mention, Link and Zelda haven't always been blonde. I'm not saying that Hylians are all great (the royal family (and Sheikah's) must have some kind of shady secrets for example - Shadow Temple in OoT is proof of that, it's scary to wonder what has been going on in there) but they are favored by the Golden Goddesses and Hylia since the land was created for them after all. I believe that the OoT Gerudo were banished to the desert because they were a tribe of thieves and kidnapped Hylian men... might not look so good in the eyes of the Hylian royal family. And I disagree with every incarnation of Zelda being helpless without Link - they both play a part in their fates and neither of them would succeed fighting Ganon if the other wasn't present. If you're into reading comics, I can recommend Growing Up Gerudo. It's an alternative universe where the authors uses characters from different Zelda games to create their story. Link is a child and Ganondorf has adopted him as his son, even though he's Hylian. So Link grows up as a Gerudo but every story needs some drama so I guess we can all guess that something will happen to force Link and Ganondorf to seperate. Even though Link is only a child, there is already some tension between Gerudos and Hylians. If I've understood it correctly, it's divided into two different parts: "child arc" and "teen arc" and I'm currently reading the child arc since I don't wanna contribute with money to support them and get all the pages immediately, lol. They post new pages for free on their tumblr site every now and then. http://growingupgerudo.tumblr.com/ I think it's pretty great, give it a try if you'd like.

I'd say Young Link in Smash Bros is from Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask.
