Something I will never get tired of in games like Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword is the animation of Link unsheathing his weapon when the boss looms over him and roars in the intros to the boss battles.
Now that college students no longer have access to their libraries in the same way we used to and have to do most of our learning at home it would be just terrible if we all knew about https://1lib.eu/ a website which has books on basically every topic ever available for free including college textbooks. Imagine if people were researching their thesis without paying for it.
DO NOT USE THIS SITE AND DEFINITELY DO NOT NOT TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITE, THEY MIGHT START DOING THESIS RESEARCH FOR FREE OR JUST START READING BOOKS THEY FOUND ON THERE FOR FUN BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE INTERESTING. This would be terrible :( :(
Reblog to spread the word so that everyone knows to avoid this site!
So if March was the time to talk about starting seeds, April is the time to talk about buying transplants (reverse as needed for southern hemisphere obviously but y’all aren’t planting for spring now anyhow). I’ll make a few notes and then open it to others to add.
1. You don’t want blooms on your vegetable starts. If it’s blooming now, it’s reached the limits of its growth in its current pot and decided that this is as good as it gets and started to put its energy into reproducing. If there are blooms, you should pinch them off, but the plant is likely to have limited growth even so. The same kinda applies to flowers but I do recognize the difficulty of knowing what you’re buying without blooms, and also, a lot of modern flowers are bred for long flowering periods.
2. Short and stocky is better than tall. Tall means the plants have been crowded. Spindly means the plant will be less sturdy. The ideal tomato seedling, for example, is relatively short, with a thick stem.
3. Some things are not worth buying starts of. Sellers realize that a lot of people feel more comfortable with transplants–you don’t have to have faith in the magic of the seed that way. But it’s ridiculous to buy cucumber and squash seedlings, for example. Those are plants that can’t be put out until after danger of last frost anyway, which time hasn’t even come where I am, and their roots don’t really like to be disturbed. Tomatoes actually thrive on being replanted, so they make great transplants. Cucumbers not so much. Big seeds like peas, cucumbers, squash, etc. come up fast and will establish roots better in situ. Have faith in the seed.
4. Prefer small local places and actual nurseries to big box stores. The big box store offers varieties based on what will sell, as decided on the national level. They buy the seedlings en masse and take minimal care of them with the expectation of high losses. The little local place is in it because they love plants, and probably knows what varieties are actually good locally.

photos of possums because i honestly feel like they're underrated and deserve more love.
Link: Hey Pipit, Cawlin gave me a love letter to deliver to Karane.
Pipit: What?! He did?! Well, um...
Link: Don't worry, I didn't give it to her. I know you like her. I gave it to the ghost who haunts the bathroom at night.
Pipit, who takes nightly patrols and knows exactly who Link is talking about: ...
Link: So the ghost fell in love with him and now haunts him at night. She gives him nightmares.
Pipit: Who hurt you?
Link: Cawlin and his friends did, were you not paying attention?
loz fans: yeah, the series is just really soothing and radiates comfort. so relaxing.
the comfort in question:
and there's literally so much more..
these are literally the only villain redemption arcs that are good, so if you’re a writer, take notes:

Transphobes always want to talk abouthow hrt or puberty blockers will cause"irreversible changes" to trans kids bodies and "kids aren't old enough to make that decision" Meanwhile, I know 3 people who've ended up permanently disabled or dead because of high school (or earlier) sports but no one's fear mongering about that.
And I gotta say I was much more informed about the "risks" of hrt then I ever was about the risks of any of the sports I played.
