I Don't Get It And Am Politely Asking For Explanation Pwease

Bird. My man *loves* corvids, not necessarily for like a pet because honestly I don't think he could really deal with a pet but still! If he did get to a point where he could healthily care for a pet I think it would be some kind of bird. Maybe before Morgana he would've been a cat person but after? Screw both cats and dogs the only things that understand me are the crows.

this is important. do we think goro akechi is more of a cat or dog person... or something else entirely

Back at it with my bullshit (writing self-insert smut)

Headcanon time! Here is:

What would happen if a different link were split by the four sword?

I posit: the colors/elements are assigned to different traits based on what each color/element is associated with. Ex: Four sees fire as warm and comforting, so his red link, associated with fire, is a warm and comforting individual. I shall also give them all names. We're starting with Skyward Sword Link, aka Sky here!

Red Sky: Magma. Having grown up in Skyloft Sky never had much experience with fire, so it's very much a new surface thing that's incredibly dangerous. Magma is a very curious type, that doesn't really know their own strength. Taking all of Sky's wonder at this brand new world, plus his pretty great strength, and putting it into this bass of energy.

Green Sky: Twister. Sky, despite living in the air, really doesn't have a good experience with active winds. A twister just up and launched his gf onto the surface man, and they're a hazard when flying on his own loftwing. As such, Twister is harsh, violent. All of Sky's rage, plus some really good swordfighting skills.

Blue Sky: River. Water's actually a pretty nice constant in Sky's life, though Faron didn't do a good job keeping that image. River is a calm, soothing type. Maybe a little overbearing, surrounding the others on all sides and making them feel claustrophobic. Sky's mother hen tendencies condensed.

Violet Sky: Dune. Leaning a bit more into the associations with the color purple this time we have a lot of the love for Zelda plus the ever-shifting nature of the dunes of Lanayru desert. Dune is pretty all over the place, emotionally. He's the one most likely to express them, too. He's sorta Sky's emotions but that's not entirely accurate, because the others still have a lot of emotions. Also gets to play the harp, helps center him.

With their dynamic, I imagine River falls into the leader role. In the sense that they keep everyone on track and not dead at least, Twister is their battle strategy. River doesn't really mind the role of leader? None of the others are really vying for it. Twister kinda tries but every time the others are like "no, you're still in time out for X." Dune and Magma are just happy to be along for the ride, though there is no guarantee that they won't wander off somewhere. Magma because something looks interesting and Dune because they're just following the highest energy person right now.

If they had to be given combat roles then Magma is the tank, Twister is the rogue, River is the Healer and Dune is the distraction. Dune is perfectly fine just running around irritating their opponents and catching their attention so the others can get good hits in, so I guess support in a way?

Headcanon time!

Ryoji, being whatever the fuck he is™ is constantly swarmed by shadows during the dark hour. But not in a 'they're trying to kill him' way, more in an 'involuntary cuddle pile with goop' way. Shadows are completely docile towards him, even friendly, because he's one of them and also stupid strong so he can protect them. He can order them to do simple tasks if he wants, though he probably never would because Ryoji either doesn't understand the goopy monsters that really seem to like him, or he's ashamed of himself and refuses to use his authority over shadows that way (y'all have no idea how much self-loathing I can slap into this little blorbo I swear to Nyx.)

Heck, maybe the thing already does exist, maybe it's completed, but I need more of it! What I'm saying is that my fanfiction is not born out of love but out of frustration. Is that unhealthy? Maybe. But does it work? Absolutely.

Anyone else have all these ideas for fanfictions you want to see but you can't really find anything that fits the criteria anywhere? Or at least none that are completed. And you know you could try and write it yourself but honestly writing another story sounds like a pain and you really don't want to?

Like, y'all, I don't particularly enjoy writing that much, I like writing concepts for scenes and saying how things will play out but when it actually comes to formatting all that into a story it's not actually that fun. I just get so upset at the fact that this specific piece of fanfiction doesn't already exist in the world (or it isn't finished) that I go 'fine, I'll do it myself.' And I gotta post it for people to see because other people might be looking for that specific thing too!

If Cryptid Four is Enby, is Cryptid Shadow also Enby? Do all the colors identify as the same gender or do they identify differently? Apparently this is keeping me up at night

The colors are all their own people, and they do identify differently! Four, as we know them, is nonbinary. They use they/them pronouns. But the colors are different!

Red uses any/all (no gender, just vibes)

Blue uses he/she/they (gender fluid. They’ll tell you their preferred pronouns at any given time)

Vio uses he/they pronouns.

Green uses he/him.

Shadow uses he/him

Idk how obvious this is but I have like, three scrapped beginnings of lbl. The sky arc I already posted all I had of it, but this was going to be the new beginning, focused around warriors, but of course, the story got too complicated and I decided to just scrap the whole thing. I figured there’s no reason to hide it anymore. It’s not canon to the story but I’m sure y’all will enjoy seeing it anyways :)

Everyone's gotta look at this it's gorgeous

Off at shore, new land awaits.

Y'all should see how my face positively lights up every time I see the dark hour cutscene when I didn't decide to go to Tartarus because that usually means I get to see Pharos and I love this strange eldritch child. He just shows up, says something vague and ominous, smiles about being friends, and dips. It's amazing, thank you for making sure I know when the full moon is. It's completely redundant because I see the deadline constantly but your efforts are appreciated because you're trying to help you strange eldritch child.

I've been thinking about ToTK lately, and one thing consistently bothers me.

Why was Zelda the one to get the time powers? Link is clearly the one who's magic involves time. His past incarnations have traveled through time a whole heck of a lot, plus bullet time and flurry rush. It would fit perfectly in the story as well.

Link, in a fit of desperation to save Zelda, reaches to send her somewhere where Ganon isn't an issue, tapping into his own innate time power to send her all the way back to before Ganon got his secret stone. Zelda cannot simply travel back because she has no power over time. So, she remains in the past, does all the same things, because she does need to fix the master sword.

Meanwhile, Link gets recall not from any outside source, but from himself, with some coaching from Rauru on how to channel his magic through the arm. He sends the master sword back to let Zelda know he hasn't forgotten about her, but he can't send anything more. The story then proceeds as usual. Legit just the tiniest change but I feel like it would make so much more sense.

There are many things I would edit about tears of the kingdom, such as the fact that no one can seem to decide if they want the games to be within one universe or not, (like girlypop the Zonai are cool and all but they do NOT belong on the Zelda timeline,) and that the weird ancient sages being nobodies compared to the champions. But for some reason, this one thing is what sticks out in my mind as something I must fix.
