Adult Ryoji because he deserves to grow up but also I punted all my headcanons onto him
Ryoji ends up becoming a photographer after high school. I imagine he'd really enjoy photography actually, preserving special moments for people to remember. He's actually really good at getting people to genuinely smile too, so being a photographer would be perfect for him.
He also runs a moderately successful blog to share his photos (he uses way too many emojis.) The blog's fans are mostly people who think he's hot (I know I'm not good at making attractive characters but I'm doing my best) even though only like, 15% of the blog's content includes photos of himself. Still, he has fun with his blog, and likes to travel around a lot to see new places and meet new people. That's what the other 85% of the blog's content is, photos of places he's been. Not necessarily tourist destinations, though he definitely adores those, just places he thinks are beautiful. A nice sunset, or a peaceful view. Ryoji loves just.. preserving those moments.
He's a bit of a fashion disaster honestly, wears the loudest, brightest colors unless someone (usually Makoto or, if she's around, Yukari) tells him to go change into something more sensible. The scarf is a staple in every outfit though, he wouldn't be himself without it.
And finally, of course he still flirts with pretty much everyone. The only thing growing up did was help him learn to read the room, but even then he's kind of a menace.
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

So, this might be an unpopular opinion and I don’t care if I get hate! BUT! I have a bone to pick with the Zelda community. I can’t believe you guys… this is disgusting…. Now- you might be thinking “Get to the point ” and I will! I think the CDI games are better than Totk and Botw all together! YEAH! I SAID IT! The games are mid at best! Don’t believe me? Let me get out my notes… -shuffles papers- Ahem! Let’s begin with the graphics. The CDI games are obviously superior and magnificent in every aspect there. Better colors and better animation of course. And don’t even get me started with the storytelling. We all know the CDI games triumph there. I don’t even need to get into it actually because it's so obvious… Actually! I don’t even need to explain myself because my opinion is not even an opinion it’s a FACT! And anyone who disagrees is WRONG! And should go buy a little snack for themselves! because you need the calories in your brains! Yeah! Just roasted you guys! And now that I’m started. Let’s talk about the Links! Wild is simply unappealing in every way! He has no flair at all. No cap. And Koridai? He can rizz up any gay person out there! That is plain as day! And if you don’t agree? Then I guess you and me can just not breathe the same air together anymore… fr fr in conclusion? Nintendo needs to hire me. That’s a given, unmistakably.
A couple I doodles I made for my fic What Happens When A Detective, A Mass Murderer, An Assassin and A Thief Time Travel?
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.
HHHHGIHJHJJJL GREAT NYX THIS IS AMAZING!!! Ough augh this looks like absolute torture, especially for Ren. Stuck with the cheery detective prince but without any of that deeper Akechi. Just.. something wrong, wearing his face, insisting everything is fine.
Something seems off about Akechi lately...
Prayers of the Moon
Imagine being a Persona 5 fan but ignoring the blatant anti bigotry themes in the story. The Phantom Thieves actively fight against an oppressive system that corrupt people in power try to force upon them. The current state of the world is no different and shouldn't be accepted.
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
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.
