Sep. 17th, 2023 07:55 amGiven that life is short and each of us only has so many days on this earth, I decided to go ahead and write my story about Calip and Tauro from Tears of the Kingdom. I've been having trouble writing for the past week, but then lo and behold, suddenly words appear. It's actually kind of fun to write about fantasy academia.
In real-life academia, most people either have a drinking problem or are taking so many pills that alcohol would probably kill them. It's the sort of profession where people tend to have multiple therapists. I know this sounds funny, but it's not a joke.
Instead of the reality of what academia is, it's nice to indulge in a fantasy of what I thought it would be when I was younger. The "fantasy" isn't so much magic shrines and floating islands, but rather the idea that Calip and Tauro would actually have enough mutual respect that they wouldn't try to kill one another after every single staff meeting.
