Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

Just finished the ocarina of time gameplay I was watching to help me remember the story and now it's time for twilight princess.

tloz: twilight princess (manga) starters

❝ i was shattered. i lost everything. ❞ ❝ i warned you not to take me lightly. ❞ ❝ we’re partners, aren’t we? ❞ ❝ ever since we’ve met, you’ve been disobedient and rude. ❞ ❝ take suffering as your companion, and unease and fear as friends. if you do, darkness will become light. ❞ ❝ it’s a cold world out there. you’ve gotta learn to trust folks. ❞ ❝ as you stand before me now, you’re all desperation and bravado. that is not true bravery. ❞ ❝ you can’t change your past and you can’t change who you were. you can only decide who you’re going to be. ❞ ❝ resentment is a trap of the heart into which everyone falls. ❞ ❝ you don’t look well. are you ill? ❞ ❝ you were born into life with a destiny. you cannot run away from that. ❞ ❝ you carry a smouldering darkness inside you. ❞ ❝ it’s considered impolite not to give your all in a fight. ❞ ❝ at dusk and dawn…it’s easy for all sorts of things to sneak by. ❞ ❝ since that day, so much has changed for me. ❞ ❝ i’m sorry. it’s been hard, huh? ❞ ❝ a true hero must shoulder a heavy responsibility. ❞ ❝ stay calm. move cautiously and remain vigilant. ❞ ❝ one more time. try telling the truth. ❞ ❝ why keep fighting until you’re just a broken wreck? ❞ ❝ if we start a fight, we must be ready to hit back. ❞ ❝ in the end, it’s easier just to be selfish. ❞ ❝ i was lost without you. i was lonely. ❞ ❝ why do i so often taste this sense of loss? ❞ ❝ i think both our journeys are pointing to the same place. ❞ ❝ power does not inhabit a blade without bravery. ❞ ❝ did you hear something? like the cry of a beast… ❞ ❝ what’s wrong? if you’re too weak, then just leave. ❞ ❝ what is strength? is it displays of power mocking the weak? destroying beauty simply to satisfy your greed? ❞ ❝ you get too worked up over things. ❞ ❝ easy for you to say. i’m the one getting beat up. ❞ ❝ i don’t need thanks. i didn’t do it for you. ❞ ❝ depending on your attitude…i might be able to help. ❞ ❝ if you don’t do as i say, i’ll take your arm off. ❞ ❝ as leader, i will not choose the path of pain and death for my people. i must protect them. ❞ ❝ strength isn’t about power…it’s about being brave. ❞ ❝ you have good eyes. the eyes of a proud beast. ❞ ❝ if the need arises, i will not hesitate to pick up a sword and fight. ❞ ❝ i guessed you had a secret past.   people can try to hide it, but nature shows through. ❞ ❝ i was lying when i said i’d never held a sword.❞ ❝ there’s no time for sentimentality. ❞ ❝ if someone comes in who knows about your past, i’ll protect you if they try to hurt you. ❞ ❝ is there something strange about me? ❞ ❝ be careful…there have been monsters around here lately. ❞ ❝ choose…surrender or die. ❞ ❝ when i feel uneasy or afraid i just think: ‘this is my mission’. ❞ ❝ don’t take me for nothing more than a fine doll good only for decoration. ❞ ❝ i’m nothing more than dirt. i’m not worth all that effort. ❞ ❝ why do you think we’re any safer here? ❞ ❝ don’t die on me now. ❞ ❝ ha! even you have a good idea sometimes. ❞ ❝ i fought through all kinds of monsters to get here…and i survived. ❞ ❝ i’ve spent so long looking for you! i’m so glad you’re safe. ❞ ❝ people are always hovering over me…and it’s so suffocating! ❞ ❝ some detours lead to unexpected good luck. ❞ ❝ you say whatever you think…i’ve never done that. ❞ ❝ there is no greater joy than helping a friend. ❞ ❝ what do you mean ‘never mind’? ❞ ❝ these days such peaceful travels are rare indeed. ❞ ❝ wildly rushing into danger isn’t courage. ❞ ❝ didn’t you say there’s something you need to do, no matter what it takes? ❞ ❝ i sense unprecedented danger approaching. ❞ ❝ how do you feel now, looking back upon yourself at that time? ❞ ❝ as usual, you’re a wimp. ❞ ❝ resentment is dangerous. it comes in through the slightest crack in your heart. ❞ ❝ i’d go to the ends of the earth for you. ❞ ❝ it really hasn’t been that long, but you’ve grown into a fine man. ❞ ❝ now is the time for us to take back all that was stolen. ❞ ❝ one thing’s certain — those aren’t human. ❞ ❝ what do you fight to protect? answer. ❞ ❝ i wish you wouldn’t do such dangerous things. ❞ ❝ if you got hurt due to my mistakes…i don’t think i could live with that. ❞ ❝ why would you do all that…when we’ve only just met? ❞ ❝ it’s a pretty name. perfect for you. ❞ ❝ once your wounds heal, you’ll need to leave right away. ❞ ❝ the hero on his knees! quite a sight. ❞ ❝ how does it feel to be so strong? quite a rush, isn’t it? ❞ ❝ you’re all puffed up on your own arrogance…drunk on your own pride. ❞ ❝ i once wondered how good you are…now i see you’re really skilled. ❞ ❝ i’m not physically strong like you…but my wits, brains and analysis can be helpful. ❞ ❝ don’t say you can’t accept that this is the end. ❞ ❝ you just want to satisfy your own ambition and lust for power. ❞ ❝ it’ll be all right because we’re together. ❞ ❝ why would you leave me at a time like this? ❞ ❝ for the first time i feel like i’m overflowing with incredible power. ❞ ❝ there’s no time for doubt. you are the chosen one. ❞ ❝ your problem is that you demand absolute perfection. ❞ ❝ there is no easy path. but you can definitely overcome it. ❞ ❝ i’m so very sorry. i broke my promise. i hurt you. ❞ ❝ that’s the spirit. hate me more. only then will this fight be worthwhile. ❞ ❝ i thought you were dead. ❞ ❝ well…? say something. or has my beauty left you speechless? ❞ ❝ i never forgot you. not for one moment. ❞ ❝ sorry for killing the mood. ❞ ❝ light and shadow are two sides of the same coin. one cannot exist without the other. ❞ ❝ if you desire something…then that is my desire too. ❞ ❝ who says i’m afraid of you? ❞ ❝ your weapon is little better than a toy. ❞ ❝ all that awaits you is despair. ❞ ❝ i’ve done the unforgivable. i betrayed you. ❞ ❝ i’m here to repay you for what you’ve done. ❞ ❝ since i’ve met you, we’ve travelled a long way…and a lot has happened. ❞ ❝ are you on a journey of self-discovery? ❞ ❝ that was a great strike. if i was a hair slower, you’d have gutted me. ❞ ❝ when i was young, i wanted to be a hero. ❞ ❝ your struggle is futile. ❞ ❝ as you can see, i know how to fight. ❞ ❝ my hatred toward you will not be satisfied by merely killing you once or twice. ❞ ❝ you’ve been through a lot. ❞ ❝ whose side are you on? light or shadow? ❞ ❝ if you run then we’re done for! fight to survive! ❞ ❝ i’m not strong enough. not good enough. ❞ ❝ i must crush your bones, rip out your organs and relish your lingering cries of pain. ❞ ❝ that was close, huh? ❞ ❝ rest now. you don’t have to fight any more. ❞ ❝ i bear this sword so i can protect my home in times like this. ❞

I swear, the tp maga is just... purely a masterpiece.

I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel like diving deeper into Link’s connections with my mutual’s muses. I already mostly follow one portrayal, but I want to make things more specific and personal. Something that goes beyond just the basics of each other’s universes.

Also, I’m always up for talking about becoming mains, but only if we’ve interacted a bit first (both ooc and ic) to make sure we’re both comfortable.

So, if you are interested, like this post and I'll message you to basically talk about our muses and see where it goes, or just feel free to do it yourselves.

THE  MORNING  SUN  ROSE  HIGH  OVER  THE  ARID  LANDSCAPE  OF  DORNE,  its  heat  already  palpable  even  in  the  early  hours  as  he  guided  Epona  towards  the  towering  walls  of  Sunspear.  Days  earlier  Link  had  thwarted  a  band  of  outlaws  he  heard  was  terrorizing  local  villages.  And,  even  if  to  him  it  didn't  seem  too  important,  the  fact  that  a  complete  stranger  had  decided  to  help  had  earned  him  the  gratitude  of  the  Dornish  —  and  even  an  invitation  from  Arianne  Martell  herself  to  visit  her  family's  ancestral  seat  in  recognition  of  his  bravery  and  skill.

When  he  finally  reached  his  destination,  he  was  greeted  by  a  pair  of  guards  who  he  followed  through  the  corridors.  Though,  his  attention  was  more  in  the  exotic  mosaic  of  colors,  sounds,  and  smells  the  Dornish  court  seemed  to  be,  than  in  the  small  conversation  they  tried  to  have  with  him  until  they  got  to  the  great  hall.  To  his  surprise,  there  weren't  many  people  there,  the  quiet  room  contrasting  with  the  bustling  corridors  outside.  In  all  honesty  it  offered  a  brief  and  welcomed  break, as  the  doors  behind  him  soon opened.  The  soft  noise  making  him  turn  ❝  Princess  Arianne,  ❞  the  knight  began,  bowing  his  head  slightly  ❝  it  is  an  honor  to  be  here.  ❞

MUN  MONDAY  TUESDAY:  GETTING  TO  KNOW  YOU

respond  to  the  following  prompts  out  of  character,  then  tag  others  you'd  like  to  get  to  know  a  little  bit  better.

Roleplayer  name:  Ale

Roleplayer  pronouns:  he  /  him

Muse  name:  Link

Preferred  communication:  discord  because  tumblr  doesn't  always  notificate  me  of  messages  and  I  can  end  up  missing  them  or  answering  pretty  late.

Experience:  I  have  been  writing  Link  for  2 months  now  but  I  have  been  writing  my  other  muse,  Robb  Stark,  for  4  years  I  think  it's  going  to  be  5  soon.

Preferred  roleplay  type:  dialogue.  I  usually  write  between  2  or  4  paragraphs  depending  on  what  is  is  (  a  starter,  a  reply  to  an  ask...  )  and  how  much  muse  I  have  at  that  moment.

Pet  peeves  &  dealbreakers:  mostly  that  people  hurry  me  for  a  reply  to  something  because,  come  on,  this  is  something  we  do  on  our  free  time  and  when  we  feel  good  enough  to  be  here  ( and  I  don't  need  to  feel  pressured )  and  because  I  will  never  do  that  to  you.  Also,  we  are  all  here  to  have  fun  so  I  don't  like  to  see  a  lack  of  respect  towards  someone  or  that  people  break  the  basic  rp  etiquette.

Plot  or  memes:  memes,  I  think  they  are  really  good  ice  breakers  to  get  things  going.  However,  I'm,  of  course,  always  up  to  plotting  so  feel  free  to  like  any  of  the  post  I  reblog  for  that  ( if  you  are  shy  and  you  want  me  to  message  you )  or  send  me  a  message!

Long  replies  or  short  replies:  long  replies.  You  can  never  be  sure  with  short  ones  if  you  are  gonna  have  enough  things  to  work  with  for  your  own  reply.

Best  time  to  write:  I  write  mostly  on  the  late  afternoon.  Though  I  sometimes  also  write  in  the  morning,  specially  during  the  weekend.

Are  you  like  your  muse?:  well  Link  is  far  cooler  than  me  but  I  would  say  that  I'm  like  him  in  some  aspects  because  I  would  do  anything  for  those  really  close  to  me  and  because  sometimes  I  need  to  keep  my  feelings  to  myself  to  be  the  strong  person  in  the  group.

I mentioned before that I'm taking from the Asoiaf books the fact that you can't spend too much time in an animal's body and that, if you do, it will change yourself because you eventually lose your human conscience until you become the animal itself for the Hero of Twilight.

So, even if I will eventually make a longer post about this, know that in that verse Link will have sharper senses, teeth more similar to a wolf's, and a more impulsive side. Also, he'll be way more into hunting and hanging out in the forest than he normally is.
