Every single odd number has an “e” in it.

I am asking you to endure it.

In defense of Orihime

Orihime is a good character to me, like yes, she has her flaws but i’m still fond of her and I really like to explore her character. that being said I feel like a lot of hate against her is unfounded so here’s my take on her character.

the word that comes to mind when i think about orihime is survival. she prioritizes survival over victory, especially concerning her friends. Warnings: abuse, mentions of sexual harassment.

Zoozve, my beloved

Every time my sister sees someone she thinks is hot, she whispers “bae goals” and for the longest time I was so confused because I thought she was saying “bagels”

Okay so I have a lot of thoughts about the whole thing of the Gerudo being a race of entirely women, with the only exception being one man born every hundred years, and that man automatically being their king. Now this worldbuilding comes from Ocarina of Time, and there's obviously a metric fuckton of unfortunate implications there, because it was 1998. And it seems that Tears of the Kingdom is sticking with the lore of Gerudo men being extremely rare and becoming the King of their people, which once again has a metric fuckton of unfortunate implications because it's 2023 and Nintendo has somehow gotten even worse about this shit.

But let's set aside the whole... everything, and look at this from just the in-universe perspective. How does it work? I mean, it's pretty clear that there is no overlap between the kings; the old ones are normally long gone by the time a new one is born, but the Gerudo manage to take care of themselves during the hangtime. So they must have an established system of government and leadership that doesn't involve a king, and somehow that system is set up in a way that does a smooth transfer of power once a new king is born and old enough to take the throne. But why bother always declaring a random guy to be your King when you already have a perfectly functional system in place?

I mean again, the whole thing has a lot of sexist implications, but we're not looking at this from a real world context, we're examining it in-universe. And we could just go the lazy route and say that their king is in charge just because he's the only man, but I don't like that. I mean come on, the Gerudo are a race of entirely women, and most of their outside problems come from Hylian men being creepy about it. They are entirely a matriarchy; there is literally no reason for their culture to have an inherent respect for men, even if the man in question is one of them. And they're desert people; they live in an extremely harsh and dangerous landscape, if they don't have their shit together, they will die. By sheer necessity, their culture needs to put a lot of value in being practical, because if they're stupid about things, people die. They really can't afford to have a shitty leader take over, and just letting some guy take the wheel doesn't really fit with the way their culture must otherwise work.

So again, why the fuck do they bother having a King?

I think it's mainly just a ceremonial position. Yes, if the guy is a good leader he'll be in charge, but if he isn't good at being a King or isn't interested in the job... fuck it, they've already got a functional government system that's been leading their people the whole time, why fix what isn't broken? The title of Gerudo King isn't about leadership or power. I think it's more about belonging. Because the Gerudo are a culture where every single one of them can be defined in the same way... and there is exactly one exception once a century. Men are considered to be inherently outsiders at the best of times, and more often they're enemies. A man born into this culture is a natural outsider; he is completely unique, and that means he doesn't really fit into his community. And well... when someone is fundamentally different from the rest of their community, they tend to be ostracized.

So I think that's why the position of Gerudo King exists. It isn't about them needing or even wanting a man to lead them. The title of King doesn't need to involve any leadership at all. It's about giving the man born every century a place in their society. It's a way of saying yes, you are one of us, you are a Gerudo, you belong here, you are wanted and you are loved.

The Gerudo know that every hundred years, one of their children will be fundamentally different from all of his peers. And so their society is built to ensure that a child who is completely different from them will still be loved and accepted. He will always have a place in their society. He doesn't need to earn their love, he has it just for existing. These are his people.

The title of Gerudo King isn't an inherent position of authority. It's a promise of acceptance.

Gold Experience Requiem Is BROKEN Broken

Gold Experience Requiem's power is commonly understood as the reversal of King Crimson's power. KC removes the cause of an action, leaving only the effect. GER removes the effect of an action, leaving only the cause.

The truth is that King Crimson's actual power is erasing up to 10 seconds of time, while Epitaph's power is seeing up to 10 seconds into the future. No doubt about it, time erasure and foresight are a stupidly powerful duo.

However, GER is not limited to time and fate. In fact, GER is beyond those concepts. Gold Experience Requiem's power is reverting to zero the strength, the motives, and the actions of an opponent, regardless of their abilities.

I would wager that GER is actually capable of removing both the effect AND the cause of an action.

If the attacker’s actions and will are reverted to zero, then the effect of any action will revert to zero and the cause of any action will revert to zero. The action itself and the reason behind it essentially do not exist anymore.

Let's also not forget that any who are STRUCK by this ability will have even their deaths reverted to zero, dooming them to die an infinite number of times.

Any and all threats directed towards Giorno will automatically revert to zero and become nullified. They’re just dead. They’re just fucking dead. Forever.

The statistics of Gold Experience Requiem reveal the truth:

None. Null. Zero.

Such measurements of power against GER are completely irrelevant. It does not matter who you are or what you can do, GER will revert reality itself if it perceives any harm coming its master’s way.

"Any action against Giorno Giovanna didn't happen and never will. lol" - Gold Experience Requiem, probably

GER also states that GioGio doesn't know the true extent of its ability which just fuckin' BOGGLES my mind. What does that even mean!? This is just scratching the surface?? Not your full capabilities??? What the F U C K does that mean!!?!

What constitutes as an "action" against Giorno as far as GER is concerned? A thought? A dirty look? Breathing in his general direction? Fucking just E X I S I T I N G in the first place?

Gold Experience Requiem is an automatic, independent Stand with the power of possibly erasing your entire existence if it thinks your vibes are off.

GER is BROKEN broken.
