I Think The Timeline Is A Great Concept And It Seemed To Sorta Work, Up Til BOTW. We Sorta Figured Out

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.

I'm a literal cat on his way to steal yo girl

Shadow has so much going for him here, there's no way he's NOT gonna be my favorite. He was my favorite manga character, now he's got the triforce of power, and years of ruminating on unresolved angst. Plus, while I don't know if there's an actual main character, so far Shadow's our main character. He's the one with the most potential to go one way or the other, and have his decisions seriously affect how the story goes. Vaati will likely remain a villain till the end, where he'll either be defeated or redeemed. Link (and by extension Green, Red, Blue, & Vio) will remain a hero. Shadow could go either way, and it's super fun!!

Dark is next on my favorites, he's new, and he's a weirdo. I love that. 20/10. Plus extra chest eye points. Vaati is also up there, he has angst, and, say it with me now,

✨ PRESENTATION ✨

Green, Vio, and OG Link are characters I like, but they're not quite up to favorites. This is mostly due to a lack of knowledge, though Vio is edging up to favorite.

Zelda, Red, and Blue? I have too little to go off right now. I like the ideas behind em, but those ideas haven't quite been given enough time for me to fully understand yet.

Favorite FSR character?

I'm not including Captain dad, Ganon, or Perry because they didn't have much screen time.

I'd love to hear "why" they're your favorite too but that's not mandatory.

Oh yeah so it turns out working a job while still living with your parents, specifically when one of your parents works the exact same job, fucking sucks. Like, I told my workplace I couldn't do 6 am shifts, they scheduled me for a 6 am shift. I would honestly just skip the shift as a 'fuck you I set my boundaries' but they can literally call my parents on me. I am currently staying up late and eating unhealthy food in hopes that when morning comes I will be deemed too sick to work this fucking shift.

Honestly I would rather be fired than work for a place that doesn't respect my boundaries with shifts but again, parents. This job is hell and I hate it and I hate working for a corporation that treats me like a robot.

Ah. Nevermind. Started episode Aigis.

Smh I thought I was supposed to die at the end of the game, credits are rolling and I am not, in fact, dead. How dare I be misled so, either by the game faking me out or by the internet.

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.

Sooo.. I got to January 1st in P3R. Man the music and atmosphere suddenly just,, wow. Is that the Tartarus theme I hear? Everything is slightly desaturated, it seriously feels incredible. I'm just taking a moment to hang out in the lobby, listening and exploring the slightly dreary grey world I live in. People may not know the end is coming, but the world feels it. The only spot of color I've found is the Velvet Room, the one place unaffected by Nyx's approach.

It was a bit hard to take the jumble of vocab words that got spit at me seriously, but the art and music really know how to make me care, to make me take this seriously.

Thinking about LU Four & Shadow again. Because I'm obsessed.

So of course with a lot of Shadow meets the chain fics Four de-escalates the situation pretty fast and Shadow's welcomed as another party member, but I've been thinking. What if Four doesn't do that? What if it's early enough in the adventure that no one trusts Four & they insist on attacking? Or, what if Four doesn't even try, because he doesn't think de-escalation is even possible because of what they've said?

What if Four and Shadow run away together? Become a 3rd party in this adventure?

What if Four can't.. or just doesn't speak up when the chain attacks Shadow?

I want this fic so bad if you can't tell.

Random bit of Lightning Lore: One time I was sewing because I like sewing sometimes. I had one of those pizza cutters but for fabric and was trying to cut through some fabric with it, like you do. But my middle finger on my left hand was just an itty bit too close to the edge of the ruler I was using to keep my line straight and I sliced clean through the part of the finger where the outer edge of your nail meets skin. There wasn't even any blood or anything, just a clean cut through my finger.

...I honestly can't believe my lore was just an injury story, secondary lore: whenever I'm trying to fall asleep at night I'll usually imagine a self-insert character interacting with whatever story seems most fun to interact with at the moment. Currently it's my Wings of Fire OC Streak existing in the MHAverse and working on the side of the league of villains because she got isekai'd there and AFO immediately asserted himself as the 'queen' of her 'tribe' because hello this is a freaking dragon of course AFO is going to force her on his side. Streak's not happy about it, but she's tired of going against her tribe (OC lore) and doesn't bother trying to leave. That doesn't mean she won't try to spare the children wherever she can because hello those are little dragonets wtf your majesty.

Anyway she keeps referring to Shigaraki as princess because in her mind, calling him a prince would be an insult and it's low-key kinda hilarious imagining how people keep thinking "there's another head of the LoV??" When it's literally just Shiggy who's very not happy about being called a princess.

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore

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
