I like how at the end of the verse she sounds unsure or hesitant to tell him he’s going to be fine, like you can hear in her words that her conscience is sort of getting a hold of her, just like how it did in the games and in wmah 😩 Links trust that people are usually good at heart, or that just because she needs him means she wouldn’t mistreat him gets him into trouble, and Midna provides shovels and wheelbarrows to dig that hole a little deeper 😭 I miss Midna and Link I can’t wait for the next installment of their story in why heroes rise 🙏😩 I know that’s a little off topic but I’m so excited 😂 Tapinosis: using deliberately dismissive or humbling language to make a person, event, or thing seem less important or worthy than it actually is. I think this could refer to the injuries themselves, as Midna is actively downplaying their significance and the potential fatal effect they could have on Link, but also she downplays Link himself, saying “you’re such a baby” “you’re so dramatic” or the classic “Mr big important hero” she’s treating him like just a tool when his actual role is so much bigger. And his injuries are part of that, by dismissing them as not important she’s actively putting him in more danger, even when she doesn’t really think the injury is minor by treating it as such she’s downplaying his importance in his own mind as well as attempting to downplay his growing importance to her in her own mind. I love them 😂😭 Keep up the great work the month has been amazing so far ❤️
