I've been doing a lot of sketching of this specific character, trying to get a design I like. Idk if I'm quite happy yet, but have some more Link
Excuse me was I RIGHT ABOUT THERAPIST DARK?
Four Swords Returns Pages 445-447
The fun thing about Dark is questioning if he's being genuine and caring or just stating what he thinks is an obvious fact.
I wrote a tragic fic then I regretted it and made it happy. I don't have the heart to do my favorite bois like that
I get Akechi is a character not everybody is gonna like but it’s a little bothersome seeing people who don’t like him water his personality down to yaoi murder boy and. While that certainly is part of it (and I have talked about the misogyny in the Persona fandom at length and will again) but to me at least, the reason Akechi is so appealing as a character is that he’s the imperfect victim. He was used and abused like all the other thieves, but he doesn’t express it in a productive way like they did. He lashed out, he hurt others who were hurting, he threw away the person he’d grown closest too. And in the end, the story and characters still say that he was worth saving. That his death was a tragedy. That even after all he did, the thieves still agree the abuse he faced was monstrous. He gets to be the imperfect victim, and the game still asks you to remember that he still didn’t deserve to be victimized in the first place.
Everyone's gotta look at this it's gorgeous
Off at shore, new land awaits.
Ok but that banner did take me like... A lot of hours of work so I'm also asking for compliments on it because I did the best I could... Ish. After so long you kinda give up on the background, maybe I'll fix it later. Maybe I'll realize it doesn't need fixing. I dunno, I have a couple alt versions of the background, but this sunset fit best with the color palette of the blog I think.
Also Sky was a menace to draw. I spent like, 2 hours just sketching and resketching his pose because it wouldn't work with me. I got it to a point I was happy with, thankfully, but it took a bit.
8 heroes from across time gather to face a new foe. Dark Link has emerged once more, ripping open the fabric of space and time in hopes of eliminating the hero once and for all. When the call to adventure comes, these 8 heroes will not stand by and watch as Dark Link threatens their lives.
Beyond the Mirror is an original Links Meet AU comic by @lightningqueen11 including 8 different Links from 11 Different games.
There are several differences with the official story of both each game and the Zelda timeline as a whole that I would highly recommend reading about to properly understand everything about this AU. This, and all other relevant links to Beyond the Mirror content, shall be linked below.
Sky
Minish
Mask
Wolf
Four
Tune
Captain

I'm totally making a new Links Meet AU, I've yet to come up with a proper name for it (suggestions are appreciated) but for now I'm just sketching up character ideas. The story itself is kinda... Not entirely clear, as well, maybe it'll just be an ask blog? Suggestions are appreciated!
Yes these are all sketches on random sheets of paper I use for work, I find it easier to get all the broad stuff done in little sketches and refine the design later.
Shouta couldn’t help himself, he blinked. And in that one, crucial moment, a demon tore its way into the world.
The being appeared from a tornado of brilliant blue fire, so bright it hurt Shouta’s eyes, roaring a deep, inhuman roar. Claws ripped through the flames, glinting in the firelight as bladed heels dug into the concrete. It had no face, just a mass of fire in the vague shape of eyes and a mouth on a smooth mask under a top hat. Inky black wings flared out from behind the creature, covering the moon and stars in complete darkness.
“YOU DARE HARM MY TRICKSTER?” The entity roared, towering over Shouta like a predator would its prey. Pure dark energy flowed from the thing’s claws, sucking the warmth from the air in an instant. Shouta felt an unnatural fear pierce his being, the kind that made him want to cower and hide and never come out. “BEGONE WITH YOU!”

I didn't originally want to share stuff from this fic here on Tumblr, after all, this was more a Legend of Zelda/LU account. But then I started posting my Persona 3 Reload reactions and decided yeah, this is a 'whatever tf I want' account, Beyond The Mirror can be my Legend of Zelda account. So, here's what I've been working on lately! Art and writing for this one fanfiction. I'll figure out how to put images into ao3... Eventually. Maybe when I actually get some work done on the next chapter
Have the speedpaint!
I'm starting to think it was never real in the first place, just a figment of my imagination lost to the recesses of my mind. On the upside, there are a lot of really freaking cool black mask Joker designs out there. Like, damn persona 5 artists did not have to go that hard but they did anyway and it's glorious.
I swear I am scouring the globe looking for that one freaking black mask redesign where they have him iridescent black pants and called atlus cowards but I can't find it anywhere it's so upsetting
Plus, for Storm, my LU OC, they'd end up a cat. Very snarky, very cat. Because I will never give up on self inserts because I don't care if it's cringe.
My headcanons for what each link would become when exposed to the shard of twilight/to the dark world and why.
Skyward sword Link (sky): straight up puppy. He's a very friendly, sociable, and loyal Link. Maybe more like a golden retriever
Minish cap Link (minish): Mouse! Very tiny mouse. I think he's generally pretty shy, cautious, so a small rodent would make a lot of sense.
Ocarina of Time/Majora's mask (time): Canon wolf.
ALTTP, Oracles, & Link's awakening (legend): Canon bunny
LoZ I and II (Hyrule): I don't really know em that much but I think dog, maybe even Retriever, like Sky. Mostly based off LU.
Twilight princess (twilight): canon wolf
Four swords adventures: Rats! Since they're very social, could split into a rat pack. Rats can have a very wide range of personalities, like most other pets, but I think they fit Shadow Link a bit more, so by default I go rat.
Wind waker & phantom hourglass(wind): Frog, because I want them to be able to handle both land and water.
Spirit tracks: I got no clue I never played that.
Hyrule warriors (warriors): cat. Very pretty, very opinionated. Will tell you if you're annoying them.
Age of Calamity (Champion, different from post-memory wipe Link): A dog. But now, a very specifically trained dog, like a German shepherd.
Breath of the wild & tears of the kingdom: They're a blupee. If you'd prefer a real animal, a mischievous little rat. But I prefer blupee because he is very much a little blue guy that runs around the forest
I'm on a roll! Made two more digital paintings with my tablet set to greyscale so I had no idea what the colors would be when it popped out, I'm pretty happy with em!
They were made with two different color noise images and obviously one of them was a LOT more vibrant than the other, but I'm very happy with em! Specifically the Ryoji drawing, I like that quite a bit.
