Purchase Triforce For 9999 Rupees?

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.

Hey guys *shoves my 7 other WIPS off to the side*

Anyone wanna join me in writing some existential dread fics where game protagonists don't have control over their own choices? I feel like the Undertale/Deltarune fandom has a monopoly on these kinds of works and I think more video game fandoms should make their silent protagonists into vessels for all the whump and angst in the world

Ikutsuki just brought us a literal child what the fuck. He's moving into our dorm what the FUCK THIS IS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILD

Like I knew this was going to happen because I've been spoiled for like.. half the game maybe? But I DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO JUST,, BRING A LITERAL CHILD TO SCHOOL AND SAY "oh yeah he exists now, this is all of y'all's problem I'm not going to be taking care of him"

Ikutsuki is supposed to be the adult man we're a bunch of high school child soldiers I've suspended my disbelief so far but Ken Amada is where I'm drawing the line

Mmm ok ngl P3R has *not* been doing a very good job with it's supposedly impactful moments so far. Like, some of these moments just don't have the vibes to make them feel like they're actually important, when logically I know they're supposed to be. The characters are all standing around in their basic poses in a basic shot, the music (while amazing) doesn't fit the emotion (like, did they seriously just go straight back to default dark hour theme on 9/5?) and as good as the animations and voice acting are, they're undercut by the pauses from waiting for the player to finish reading.

I watched the first persona 3 movie, and the contrast between the game moment and the movie moment for Fuuka's persona reveal revealed to me just how good it could've been but wasn't. Idk, I keep hearing how P3 has the best story but I'm just not seeing it. Was it better in portable? The story moments just haven't been hitting right.

Sometimes I think my therapist was very wrong and I do, in fact, have ADHD and maybe knowing that fact for certain and getting access to ways to manage it would help a lot actually.

"Oh *****'s such a gifted child, she's very smart and answers all the teacher's questions. There's no way something could possibly be different about her!"

Then the years go by and I get worse and worse in class as teachers start assigning homework and projects but it can't be any sort of neurodivergence because '***** was always such a smart child, she's clearly just not putting in the effort anymore.'

I barely take care of myself because doing things like brushing my teeth or taking a shower or cleaning my room don't... Make me feel accomplished in any way, they just make me feel like I wasted my time and now my mouth tastes like mint and I can't eat or I'm all cold and wet or my stuff is just going to get taken back out anyway. It's probably depression or an anxiety disorder, let's give her some medicine for that.

The medicine helps me with some mild mood swings, but those become a non-issue when I'm out of school and the effort put in driving to the pharmacy and refilling my prescription just isn't worth it anymore.

I should probably go to the doctor, the dentist, the optometrist, but I really don't feel like scheduling an appointment right now, it can wait until my schedule's more free. Then my schedule gets more free and I forget because I always do unless the problem is right in front of me. There's a crack in the ceiling of my room that I should probably tell my parents about but I kept forgetting until my dad walked into my room and saw the crack himself.

Is something wrong with me? Or am I just lazy?

My therapist was probably right. I don't have ADHD, I'm just not putting in the effort.

I ask this dude why he's not wearing a shirt and he calls me stupid and I think that's amazing dialogue. I probably should've asked something responsible like what their goals were but when faced with the option to finally get an answer as to why this dude is letting his nipples out constantly regardless of temperature I just had to take it. I didn't even get a straight answer it's incredible.

So I'm playing through persona 3 reload for the first time y'know? Chilling, having a good time, and then Kirijo just up and pulls THIS LINE OUT

SHE SMIRKED, SHE FUCKING SMIRKED GIVEN THE THOUGHT OF BLOWING HER WAY INTO THE SCHOOL

SHE'S AN ICE USER WHAT THE FUCK

Anyway given this new information Mitsuru Kirijo is my new favorite character.

Excuse me this is genius lemme just writes down frantically

I'd love to see, like, a zelda/terraria fic where links newest incarnation or whatever gets spawned in as the player character. Maybe a specific Link?

Because terraria is absolutely chock full of enemies to fight, dungeons to loot, weapons to find or forge, people to save, quests to fill. And it'd be about link surviving all of this, working his way up to defeating the moon lord. Making friends, figuring out how to build, going fishing, gathering cool items, just generally a lot of stuff he could do before, yeah, but it'd be a nice change of pace. Maybe zelda can be there!! That'd be fun!

Heck, maybe it could be a sort of dream fish or eventide situation, where link wakes up with nothing but the clothes on his back and has to defeat the moon lord to break the barriers around the island that terraria takes place on. Maybe there's time dilation?

But it'd be a really interesting thing to imagine, all the different things link could do! Him strategising against invading armies like in hyrule warriors/aoc, him delving into the mines to gather materials like totk, finding npcs and inviting them home to keep them safe and building a whole community (totk/botw), practicing sword forms with the increasingly extra and flashy swords, small blonde elf putting on his armour to face giant new bosses. WINGS!! Him working with summons and archery and giant shoulder mounted cannons XD.

Ooh, what if it was the whole chain in terraria?? And hylia gave them a break for enrichment XD.

Basically it's a random idea but wouldn't it be cool to give link cool glowy swords and wings and armour?? And he could run on water???

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.

Beyond the Mirror

- A Links Meet AU -

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.

I mean if u wanna share more lore you know none of us would say no, I absolutely adore the fact that Four shrinks to Minish size to make sure Hyrule is ok. And the fairy lore in general is top notch, WORLD BUILDING FOLKS!! Gosh just an absolute treat of a loredump, TYSM for answering my ask!

Hiii, I ADORE your chain as Cryptids AU, all of your art is gorgeous and every character is wonderfully unique, I wanted to ask for a lil more lore if possible? While Four is my favorite character we have not had nearly enough asks for Hyrule! And fairies in general, in your au are they more fae-like with some trickster tendencies or very kind and giving like the Minish? Thoughts on bottles, etc? TYSM!

Oh boy oh boy do I have some Hyrule Thoughts. And some general fairy thoughts as well!

(Under the cut because this is gonna get long)

For this au, I’m thinking of just Zelda fairies. Little glowing balls of light that flutter on fragile wings, iridescent and magical and gentle. Fairies have an affinity for magic: all kinds of magic, though they’re best known for their healing abilities. There isn’t a single archetype of what a fairy’s behavior will be. Some can be tricksters, some can be kind, some can be shy, some can have the most ill of intentions. Fairies are like people, really, in that they’re not just all one thing. (This is what separates them from spirits, really. They’re just on the cusp of ascension, but unlike Koroks or Blupees or Dragons or anything like that, they cling to their mortality and allow themselves to grow and evolve. Because of this, Hyrule is not a part of the telepathy circle).

There are many communities of Fairies, and they tend to group up around a Great Fairy as their leader. There are some colonies that are independent of Great Fairies, though, but they are rare to find, as they are at a much higher risk.

You see, while Fairies are magical, they’re very fragile. Usually, a typical Fairy wouldn’t posses enough magic to defend themself against a Hylian captor. Docile and tiny, they’re quite easy to bottle up and carry off, and easily discarded once they’re used. Great Fairies are much more powerful than the average Fairy, and even more powerful than a Hylian, so sticking around them is preferred. They protect the others.

Hyrule is a very unique case. You see, he was born with the Spirit of the Hero. For this au, the Spirit of the Hero acts as an enhancer for any kind of spiritual or magical power a Link already possesses. For example, Twilight is only able to shift because he’s descended from a God and possess the Hero’s Spirit. (Otherwise, one of his parents would have had God Powers TM too, and they probably wouldn’t have died so soon).

In Hyrule’s case, having the Hero’s Spirit grants him much more magic than a typical Fairy- almost as much magic as a Great Fairy herself. All of this power in such a small frame… no one is the wiser. Hyrule has enough magic to properly defend himself (if he had any sort of training… which, as a child, he didn’t) and most importantly, he has enough magic to hold a Hylian disguise for a LONG TIME. His glamour can change the way that he’s perceived but cannot change his actual shape. Others can see and even touch his changed form, but it is not real.

ANYWAY. Yeah. Bottles. Fairies are afraid of them, are afraid of Hylians. And Rito and Gerudo and Gorons and Zora and monsters and literally everything under the sun. When you’re two inches tall, everything is a threat.

Fairies are hunted mercilessly by Hylians, mostly. They’re never killed, not outright, but they’re taken from their colonies and shoved into a tiny bottle, sometimes for weeks and months on end (Fairies don’t starve as quickly as other species would, able to expend magic to keep their little bodies functioning). That being said, they often do not survive captivity. A tiny little bottle, often shoved in a bag and jostled around, no light, no food or water, all alone, just glass on all sides. It’s no place for a Fairy. Even if they do make it out (after expending magic to heal whatever wound they were abducted to treat), they will rarely make it back to their Great Fairy before succumbing to magical exhaustion or being captured again.

On the topic of magical exhaustion: Fairies have a limited amount of magic they can expend before they have to recover. Even one as powerful as Hyrule has their limits. Recovery almost always means rest, and it can mean their body does a forced shut down and simply stops working for days at a time. Often, Fairies are more hungry when they’re recovering, as magic can no longer be used to sustain the body.

Hyrule is less vulnerable to this than other Fairies would be, but when he’s standing next to the Chain? And every single one of them is hurt? After a fight where he’d used his magic to take down dozens of monsters? All while keeping up his glamour? Yeah, he’s gonna be feeling that one.

Telltale signs of magical exhaustion before it gets to the point of actually passing out: Physical exhaustion, drowsiness. Headaches, sudden hunger. Feeling cold. Often, the other heroes might notice Hyrule picking up an extra serving at mealtimes or ask to huddle up with someone at night (oftentimes Sky, as his wings are very warm and he doesn’t bat an eye when asked to cuddle). Hyrule sleeps longer, but never seems to gain any more energy.

Magical exhaustion, if pushed too far, can be fatal.

ANYWAY. When Hyrule first joins the Chain, he forces all of them to free any Fairies they might have. He enforces that rule as others join, and is hesitant to lower his glamour. I’m think that for a long time, they don’t even know he’s a Fairy. He’s terrified that if they find out, they’ll bottle him up and use him for healing and never let him go. For. Long time, he’s terrified of them. Fairy Bottlers surround him. It’s not until he physically cannot keep his “Hylian” form up that the others find out what he is, and he never expected them to be so understanding. So… apologetic. Actually legitimately regretful of their Fairy Bottling pasts.

ONE MORE THING. Four can turn Minish sized. When Hyrule works himself to magical exhaustion and passes out, he goes back to his True Form, the two inch tall lil Fairy. And of course, when that happens, it’s really really difficult for the Chain to move him or help him without accidentally hurting his tiny body. So Four will shrink down and help him to bed, check to make sure that he wasn’t hurt when he fell unconscious, and stay with him at their size so he’s not alone when he wakes.

I have many more thoughts but this is getting actually so long. I apologize!
