Very interesting take! Totally agree with basically everything you said, honestly I think Morgana is a top tier character with a lot of good characterization that's kinda,, done way too dirty in the Okumura arc. Like, Morgana's insecurities, his pride, his insistence that he's human, they're all actually pretty compelling especially when he's interacting with Ren. I do find him annoying at times, mostly with the needless insulting of Ryuji and how I don't think he ever actually... Apologizes to Ryuji? I don't remember if Ryuji apologized either but he gets a pass because the narrative punishes him enough. In basically the rest of the game I enjoy Morgana, he's great! Especially during his social link scenes.
I suppose as someone who really loves Akechi's character I gotta insert the old phrase I saw somewhere; in fiction, being annoying is a far greater sin than being a terrible person. Because it will make me hate watching them. Morgana might be integral to the story, but if people don't enjoy when they come on screen then there's really no amount of impact he can make to make them want to keep him around. Does that make any sense? I'm not the best with phrasing sometimes.
Anyway tysm for explaining it was very helpful and insightful!!
i am once again putting this opinion out there
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...
"That little kid didn't like anyone."
From the original fic that's acting as the basis for my AU, got a blog just about set up for it! @beyondthemirrorau
I really don't know peeps I'm comfy tagging soooooo

Oh I can tell you how they reacted (source: new player)
I didn't actually think the protag died. It took me starting Episode Aigis and hearing them talk about me in the past tense to actually realize- "oh wait shit, the Internet wasn't lying to me, Makoto just fuckin DIED"
And then I watched the Persona 3 movies and cried
Main problem with Persona 3 Reload: opening movie doesn't hit the player over and over with "YOU WILL DIE REMEMBER YOU WILL DIE MOMENTO MORI MOTHERFUCKER YOU'RE GONNA DIE GONNA DIE AT THE END OF THIS GAME BE PREPARED TO DIE YOU WILL DIE REMEMBER YOU WILL DIE REMEMBER YOU WILL MEMENTO MORI DON'T FORGET THE DYING THING DEATH DEATH DEATH"
Prayers of the Moon
For the record I am doing AU stuff, just not on here anymore

Hylian (raised Kokiri)
The legendary Hero of Time, first to reveal Ganondorf as a threat to Hyrule. Said to have foresight on exactly what to do next, as if he had experienced this all before. Mask is a rather mysterious figure, having traveled the world for quite some time, looking for a place to belong. When the world comes knocking with the perfect opportunity to reunite with old friends? Well, who is Mask to say no to that?
I think the timeline is a great concept and it seemed to sorta work, up til BOTW. We sorta figured out BOTW's placement (after Hyrule Warriors ish was what I went with) but then TOTK mucked everything up so now we're figuring it out again. And, of course, the stories are at least compelling to me. A person who's written multiple fics (most unpublished) and made a whole links meet au like a weirdo

Alright here's the 411, folks. I need your help settling a score. I know Ive done a lot of meme polls in the past but I genuinely need a large sample size here.
Whether you're a long-time fan or played only one game in the franchise
PLEASE REBLOG, AND SHARE SOME OF THE NARRATIVE MOMENTS THAT HAVE STUCK WITH YOU, NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR BIG!
OR IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE NARRATIVE, TELL ME WHY! PLEASE I NEED TO UNDERSTAND A WIDE VARIETY OF OPINIONS
I NEED TO HEAR EVERY OPINION YOU HAVE, SO GO NUTS!!!!
Y'all ever find a comic that you think is pretty dang good and you enjoy a decent amount so you follow the account that's posting it and still the comic is good but the person making it is,, just kinda an asshole?
Like not even a bad person they're just kinda condescending or rude or smth when perhaps answering asks or talking about their comic on its tag and you really don't think that's worth abandoning their generally pretty good work for but it just kinda sours you to the whole thing? And you can understand why they would say something so rude/condescending because making a comic and dealing with people being kinda dumb is stressful but it still makes the comic itself feel.. blehh.
That's happened to me at least 5 times now, it's a strange phenomenon.
Ok I look at a lot of Link AUs, and a lot of people like to make all the different links have very different looks. So for me, because he's my favorite link in my favorite game, here's sky.
I love him so much I would kill for him you are not allowed to dislike Skyward sword in my presence when there is this amazing lil guy in it
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,
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.
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.
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
