Haha, oh no. At least it's a pretty sky island!

Almost wholly by thinking of those I love. Which also fills me with concern. But warmth overwhelms darkness.

It's been a pleasure to watch him grow in confidence and become so taken with the entire Zelda story that he's developed a complex fan fiction EU for it, which anyone who hangs out with him enough will hear all sorts of details from.
He's 7yo now and is about halfway through Tears Of The Kingdom.

He described himself as "unstoppable" because this time he had the Master Sword. I told him I was proud of him and he responded that he was proud of him too 🤩
He started playing when he was 3yo (indoctrinated by his older siblings). At first he just loved wandering and mostly ran from everything.

I go grab my keys from my jacket upstairs, come back, and hear, "Papa! I'm fighting Dark Beast Ganon" (which means he's defeated Calamity Ganon).
I told him to pause it and he could keep playing in the car. 5 min later, he's rolling credits on the game.

He was sick at home with the snots and a fever, and after a good nap, I saw we had 15 min before we needed to go pick up his brother from school so I let him play a little. I glanced over and he's got Calamity Ganon down to 1/4 health.

There are the elites, the workers, the artists, the faithful, the wizards—and a coming apocalypse that anyone could see coming.
Just an absolute delight and I cannot wait for the conclusion.

B. Mure does a wonderful job making his fictional playground into a breathing, throbbing entity, one heavily fraught with politics, turmoil, magic, and a growing public rage. There are murders. There are protests. There are governmental shifts. ...

Excellent advice, thank you.

She's really just super wonderful :) I want her to get all the opportunities she can to find her way!

A more recent vintage:

Oh man, GIS sounded so neat to me, but I didn't really have any pathway to college (that was apparent to me at the time, looking back, there were definitely options), so I did restaurants then 20 years of web design and now at last illustration! Life's full of winding ways.

Haha, no, what she will earn is the least of our concerns. That's never been really important to us. I'm an artist, the son of an artist. My wife is a lit teacher. We're more life of the mind people.

I had to look those up! (I was certain they were probably going to be some sort of behavioral drug 😅)
She doesn't but my wife (who does know about them) just let me know that her teachers suggested she start a JCL chapter at her school, so we'll see!

I might take you up on that! (But not yet!)

Yeah, for sure.

Haha, she could get Odysseus' helmet right :D
But yeah, we're starting to see how widely the things she learns can bleed into a variety of life directions! Exciting times.

This is about what I figured, but not being in that world, I figured it'd be smart to ask people who know it better. Thanks!

Love is at least one thing she gets from us without reserve! She's a hero to me.
Access to education she gets to the sky.
Wealth? Haha ha ha. (I didn't go to college bc of money) Two out of three is still a good start :)

My wife is a lit teacher who covers classics, so I definitely value them :D

There's the mom who the "uncle" wanted to marry that just wants her daughter back. And there's the hilarious way that Taniguchi shoves mountain climbing into the finale.
Absolutely bonkers and perfect.

...There's her uncle's investigation into just what his friend's daughter was getting up to after school and his utter inability to navigate big city night life in a way that will get cynical kids to open up to. ...

...There's her "uncle," a mountain climber and best friend of her departed dad, who died on a climb that the "uncle" could have taken part in and changed fate (maybe!). ...

Man, Quest For The Missing Girl was a joy. Just a short, sharp bit of fun thrills and detectiveness that occasionally looks like Kurosawa's High And Low. There's a girl who's missing (shocker), kidnapped and held without ransom. ...

That's just about the least of our concerns :)

Yeah, she really does have a facility for languages, and I think she's starting Japanese at the local community college in a few weeks. :)

Haha, for sure. I didn't get to go to college but I still spent 20 years in web design after 6 years in restaurants and *before* swapping over to illustrator.

Thanks for the sober response. A lot of good things to consider here.

Thanks so much! And yeah, I've been thinking about libraries etc. She's going to start tutoring beginning Latin students this Spring, so she can get a taste of teaching and whether that's a path she'd appreciate.

Haha, I would never. I gas her up constantly. I'm an artist and know all about pursuing our loves. We haven't even begun talking about jobs or anything like that. I'm just trying to find out what we should know beforehand IF this is where she wants to go.

Yeah, she's almost certain to go liberal arts anyway. She's excellent at math and science (but her heart's not in those things, enough so that despite grades and teachers who insist otherwise, she believes herself bad at them). She feels that wanting something is integral to being good at it ❤️

Oh man, that *does* sound rad. If I were remotely qualified, that sounds kind of amazing.

@joshuajfriedman.com you know too much about Bluesky communities 😁 Do you know if this is a thing? I really don't want to put this kind of ask on Twitter where the marble statue PFPs roam the earth.

I suppose $3 is a low cost but the real price would be losing affection for something I remember fondly.

While I didn't enjoy Sunday, there were moments that were so perfectly well-observed that I let out a laugh of recognition. Scenes like Thibault moving a phone around his face while taking a bath:
