fav genre of character is “writers hated him so much but he’s a fan fav so he keeps coming back again” i transcend the narrative baby you NEED me around. and you’ll never let me win cause you don’t like me but IM HERE!! and BITCHES LOVE ME!
me wearily opening twitter: please show me just one nice thing for once
twitter: baldur’s gate 3 lets you fuck a bear
me: you know what? good enough
you know for context initially you weren’t able to fuck the bear but people were so horny over the druid npc (who for context in his normal form is an unreasonably jacked and friendly elf) that the studio threw up its hands and said “fuck it you all are calling him a bear let’s make it legit” and then they showed the vampire twink character getting fucked by the bear on stream and got banned. there’s also a toe sucking scene in the game that they used for promotional material. it’s also got some of the best character writing and encounter design in any RPG I’ve ever played.
“Why don’t people recognize Link in TOTK” bc everyone imagines the legendary swordsman to be built like Ganondorf and Link doesn’t bother correcting anyone bc being hailed as a hero is like on the bottom of his priorities, which are topped by things like “Bake one of every pie”
Rando farmer: They say that once the noble hero of legend passed by this very village! Isn’t that wonderful to imagine, genderfluid stranger?
Link, 5'6" with 2" heels and wearing a backless dress suspiciously stained with blood: no yeah that’s wild
“Wouldn’t they recognize him bc he’s with Zelda” Everyone interacting with Zelda was like “Wow, the princess!! The princess who saved Hyrule is here, talking to us! Plus some guy with three sets of pronouns who’s building a bomb but more importantly The Princess!! Wow!!”

Zelda keeps coming across spare genders she doesn’t need and Link follows behind scooping them all up off the ground like a starving trash possum
Someone uses an unfamiliar pronoun around Zelda, and she hears the item pickup sound come from Link
Can’t apply a gender to a force of fucking nature, this Link.
“why do mlm ships always have one blond guy and one guy with dark hair?” well you see, it all started back in 1966 when a new sci-fi show premiered on NBC—
