WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT COOL ENOUGH FOR YUKARI?? I'm going to riot and return to the only person in this entire school I respect, uhhhhh what was his name again? Scott the woz?

Oh my lord what is up with Ken Amada's dialogue in Tartarus boy I know you're a child but no one speaks like that all the time it's so weird. Amada, are you planning to murder everyone? Lull us into a false sense of security and stab us in our sleep? Because you're doing a really bad job, I feel the furthest thing from secure.

On the upside, he's a really good party member like, Light *and* elec coverage? Combined with Koromaru's Dark and fire I feel like P3 is spoiling me. Slap Yukari in there with my beloved Black Frost and I feel like I could murder the crap out of anything. Throw in my Clotho to buff/debuff the shit out of everything and an ever-changing physical attacker (presently Dakini) and we're decimating.

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.

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

SOMEONE HURT THE DOG I'M GOING TO RIOT

Also they said the dog might be a persona user so.. are we going to give the dog a gun?

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

I GOT TO PET THE DOG MY LIFE IS COMPLETE

IT'S THE DOG IT'S THE DOG IT'S THE DOG

HE'S WAGGING HIS TAIL AND SMILING FGHGBB I LOVE HIM I WILL MURDER FOR HIM

IT'S THE DOG IT'S THE DOG IT'S THE DOG

HE'S WAGGING HIS TAIL AND SMILING FGHGBB I LOVE HIM I WILL MURDER FOR HIM

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.

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

I don't get it and am politely asking for explanation pwease

i am once again putting this opinion out there

My experience with writing a multi-chapter fic:

I intend to write a few chapters ahead of time, starting out with 3 chapters prewritten and having an outline for maybe the next 5 after that, then the next arc outlined as well.

Instead of that though, I forgo any sense of a schedule by chapter 5 and while the outlines are still a thing, there is no hope for any chapters. I post them as soon as they've been beta read if that's even a thing that's going to happen. And then, instead of trying to get back on track with the schedule, I continue to write vague outlines of future chapters.

Honestly though I don't think I could make a whole draft and not post any of it, half my motivation comes from the external praise I get whenever a chapter goes up. Which, yeah, probably isn't the best mentality but it keeps me motivated, which is really freaking hard.

based a comment I saw from someone:

Surprisingly enough Darkstalker is in fact, quite large. Turns out dragons don't get like, grey hair and wizard beards when they get old, they just get large

Darkstalker (Wings of Fire)

This looks amazing!! I love all of them

Some Minish variations for my AUs

I wanted the Minish to look a bit more mouse like and to have some more interesting variations for different habitats! I'll do some designs to show off hair/clothes/ect at a later point but these are just ideas for body types.

Ok but how many times have we seen our local angst child *actually happy* I want this duo to be around forever if it means they both get to have fun like this.

Time: What does it look like..?

I will give a detailed explanation as to why Tidespring, the cat in my profile picture, could absolutely kill a man.

For one, Tidespring is the leader of the defense sector in the RP I'm drawing him from, meaning he is not only one of if not the best in combat within the selection of characters of this RP, he also has access to many others who could potentially kill a man as well. Not that he wouldn't do it himself.

Next, within my profile picture Tidespring is on his way to go pick up your daughter, because he has what the youth might call 'rizz' which deals extra emotional damage when he out-charismas you in every way possible.

He is also wearing human-sized shades in a human-sized car, meaning he is a human-sized cat. Tell me, in what universe is someone living against a human-sized cat that knows how to do a backflip. Did I mention he knows how to do a backflip?

Lastly, Tidespring has also already killed a man. Well, not man, their name was Wrenwisp and though it's not canon he absolutely did it.

reblog this if your icon could kill a man

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.

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.

Just... Snagging this for later

Everyone's gotta look at this it's gorgeous

Off at shore, new land awaits.

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

Guess who's gonna go down the rabbit hole of coloring their copy of the Four Swords manga

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.

Oooo so we get some mystery with this! Now I'm curious about Four's people, if they're an original species were they around for even if they weren't seen in anyone else's adventures? Are they a common sight in Four's Hyrule, super rare, or common and just not seen like the Minish? What's their name? Gosh, this is so intriguing! I'm also curious about everyone else's opinion of our local mystery among mysteries. Your Chain as Cryptids AU is absolutely amazing and I'm looking forward to hearing more about everyone, as always! But take care of yourself first above all else, you come before any story ♥️

No rush with this ask but I just remembered! Back in my last ask you said you finally got Four figured out, I'd love to hear about their lore! Unabashed favorite character alert, I think Four's design is so cool and I love their concept so I super wanna hear about em. Like I said, no rush if U wanna tackle Spirit's lore reveal first

Nonono I’m happy to talk about Four!

Full disclosure, I’m very busy with schoolwork (the semester ends in like two weeks!!! I’m barely hanging on) so I don’t currently have the mental capacity to sit and write pages and pages of lore. Writing is so incredibly draining for me, so you probably won’t be getting a full lore post for Spirit until this weekend! It’s one of those things that will take pages and pages to explain and I just… can’t do that right now haha! So I’m happy to talk about Four in the mean time!

Four is… a special case. I want them to be a mystery. Every time someone asks about their backstory- particularly about Shadow- I will always respond by telling them it’s a spoiler. (As I’m starting to organize my thoughts and get my feet under me to get serious about actually writing fics, I’m getting more secretive about story elements. I don’t mean to dangle it in front of your faces, but I don’t want to spoil the big things! I’m sorry if this seems cruel).

Four is pretty secretive about their past, very protective of the things they love, and still working through a lot of their issues. The colors are having a bit of a rough time reflecting on their adventures and so Four… doesn’t really talk about it a lot.

Like I said before, I want Four to be a closed book. The others will know them as an Enigma. They’ve never seen anything like Four before. I will say that they are an original species- like the Aquili for Wind. Their horns are normal for their people. Their affinity for the elements is normal for their people. Their ability to split? Not so much. The colors are still a secret.

(Think… dragons.)

Four thinks it’s entertaining to keep the others guessing. At first, it’s a defense mechanism. Trying to keep their cards close to their chest, never giving the others too much of themself. But as trust starts to grow between the Chain, it kind of becomes more of a running joke? Sometimes, they’ll give small bits of information over dinner. Long nights sitting around the fire. They’ll tell stories of their adventures, but they’d mess up with pronouns and perspectives the same way that Sky does.

Sky, for the same reason, doesn’t share much. Telling stories is hard when there’s multiple consciousnesses trying to speak through one mouth.

Again! I’m sorry, I know you probably wanted more backstory, but just like Four, I’m keeping my cards close to my chest for this one. It’s a secret to the Chain, and it’s a secret to everyone. Just know that I typically don’t stray too far from the game’s (and in this case, the Manga’s) canon. Or at least. I try not to.

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

Zelda Tumblr, I need your help

KNEW IT, I'M OFFICIALLY A GENIUS AND I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT LORE POST! Welcome to the chain Spirit :)

I know I said I wouldn’t add any more Links to the Cryptid Chain. I know I said I wanted to keep my characters the way they were to preserve my storylines.

I have been convinced otherwise.

Everyone!!! May I introduce our newest member of the Cryptid Chain: the Reaper.

Spirit comes with SO MUCH LORE, I’ll have to make a separate post about it! Lots of spiritual shenanigans, Poes, Fate, Life and Death. And this kid’s TWELVE.

I’m excited to add him! I hope you guys are excited too!

Big things are happening in the au, guys, stay tuned

As an asexual person all of these are completely true parksrway is spilling all the ace secrets

had a moment last night

I don't understand entirely how to feel about this, but sure 👍

ITS TIME.

Take this quiz to find out what Slander/Flanderized Version of the LU Boys you are! There are over 20 routes, so feel free to redo the quiz (but be authentic the first time cuz its funnier that way). https://uquiz.com/d1e6KV EDIT: Master List of Personalities

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???
