You weren’t awarded butch at the end of a great queer race. You cannot hang it in your living room or shine it on your mantle. You dug it up from the ground. You were on your knees, scraping at the soil with your short nails and your bloody hands. You found ‘butch’ in your own bones and you sucked out the marrow until your tongue knew the word by heart. And there are other names and other terms that were just as hard to find as yours, and you’re not to ever assume that the hole you made in the ground was deeper than anyone else’s. You had best promise me that right now.

I feel like people forget that Toon Link is, canonically, the only Link aside from maybe the original NES one to permanently kill Ganondorf.
Like in all of Toon Link’s games (at least the ones following Wind Waker) he never fights Ganon again. He kills him once and for all.
This dumbass
I just find that funny
he wasn’t even the chosen one or anything he just woke up one day, got his sister kidnapped, made the gods acknowledge him, and killed ganon
Literally searched the entire ocean to put the triforce of courage back together and rebuilt the master sword almost from scratch.
Also side note ganon is the most cunning and dangerous in this game of them all since he, again, got rid of the triforce and master sword before the game even began.
If he didn’t kidnap links sister he would have won
It’s my personal headcanon that the reason windwaker’s sequels are so weird in terms of villains, is because this little bastard ENDED demise’s curse. Like the curse was that Demise would return with the hero and zelda over and over, and since this kid WASN’T a reincarnation of the hero he ended the curse by breaking the cycle through sheer big brother energy

I have never heard of Norman Rockwell. I don’t understand anything about art. But this picture shook me and caused a storm of emotions. It is called Breaking Home Ties, 1954
The boy is going to a Uni and wearing his best outfit; the Uni sticker is on his luggage, even his tie and his socks are the colours of the sticker. He is excited and impatient. The father - obviously a farmer, is sitting at the worn farm truck with a flag and a storm lamp, because their place is so small the train won’t normally stop there, so the father will need to “catch” the train and signal with the light and the flag for it to stop.
His son will never come back to the farm.
I think I understand why this picture sold at 15,4 million dollars in 2006.
Great paintings by Norman Rockwell of everyday Americana.
Norman Rockwell specialized in exactly this, OP. You can look at almost all of his paintings and find a story in it. Some are sweet, some are poignant, some just show family. They are all stories, and they all have story woven into every single detail.
And because it is my favorite, this is “Shiner”
Rockwell’s mentor was A.C. Leyendecker best known for his illustrations of the Arrow Collar shirt man. The model was Leyendecker’s lover. Rockwell was a pallbearer at Leyendecker’s funeral.
Rockwell’s paintings also dealt quite a bit with social issues as he got older and after the Saturday Evening Post made him remove a Black person from an image bc Black people “could only depicted in service jobs”.
As a result he left the Post & created (among other works) The Problem We All Live With and Murder in Mississippi.
OP post “Breaking Home Ties”.
Look at the dog.
Oh boy…
For those who don’t know the problem we all live with :
It’s also very fun to add that during WW2 when the government put out a call to commission artists to create a poster to inspire woman to fill in service roles and feed the war effort, Normal Rockwell was one of the artists who entered. The famous picture of Rosie the Riveter is known to every USAmerican student, and known throughout the world over. But what’s not as commonly known was Rockwell’s submission, which was denied by the US government for portraying the wrong kind of American woman and not something that would appeal to their femininity. Basically, it fucks too hard and the government got scared. But Rockwell was no such coward to give a woman a sandwich and a strap
