I Think Time Would Have The Worst Dad Snore Ever. Maybe Somehow He’s Able To Keep It Toned Down When

American Chain Headcanon 😮‍💨

this is stupid 😭

I was laying down, having myself a maladaptive daydream session, and couldn’t get this out of my head

here’s which state I think each member of the chain would be from if they were American

Wind is from Hawai’i and you cannot take that from me. If I were being biased I would say he’s from Oahu, but I could also see him being from Kauai. I just really see him as a town rat though growing up in Honolulu. I just think he’d love screwing around with tourists and sneaking into resort swimming pools

I think Hyrule would be from Alaska. Something to do with the sheer amount of wildlife and surprising rate of violent deaths that occur there resonate. In all realness tho, I think he would grow up on a frontier or homestead of some type. Maybe he would be a reservation kid

Warriors would be from Virginia. I believe he would grow up surrounded by military communities. I think he’d grow up as an Army brat (he’d probably move a lot but Virginia is home base to him). He’d get into West Point and follow his family’s footsteps in the military.

Wild would be from Florida. I don’t really feel like I need to explain this one. He’d go barefoot into the Everglades and mess around with wildlife. He’d love petty crime. 

Legend is a NYC kid but he’s spent every summer of his life visiting family in Boston. He grew up in Queens and has a thick NYC accent. When he comes home from the summer he has a Bostonian accent 😭 he knows the subway like second nature, how to barter, and the best food joints. 

Sky is midwestern I think he’d grow in Minnesota. He’s also got a strong accent. Very well adjusted to the cold. His idea of a salad is probably not your idea of a salad 😬

I think Twilight would be Texan but I’ve seen strong arguments for him being Appalachian and honestly I can’t decide. No… I think he’d grow up in Appalachia. Ugh or maybe he’d grow up in Montana on a ranch there. I can’t decide. Pls help

I think Time would be Californian but he brings it up never 😭 one day somebody asks him where he grew up and he’s just like: Sacramento. The only reason I thought that is bc Sacramento is the city of trees… Time gave me lots of trouble. Another possibility is that he just answers with a different city each time he’s asked. Maybe he’s from Cincinatti 😭 Ohio

Four is so weird. He’s Canadian (ily Canadians). I think he’d be from Montreal but has zero accent. He’s fluent in French.

pls feel free to argue with me or offer your own thoughts

Everybody drawing Dapper as just Minecraft-coded Ciel Phantomhive are my personal heroes

Beginning of Main Storyline:

The main storyline for my little maladaptive daydream vampire AU follows Tubbo, a troubled human who tends to get in even more trouble for petty crimes. He takes up a dangerous job working as a “bloodbag” and runner for a non-legal coven. 

Essentially, in exchange for money and protection, he exchanges his blood and runs, often less than legal errands, for a dangerous group of vampires. Quesadilla Island is quite strict against vampires, but will often recognize covens in order to better keep an eye on them. Covens that are legally recognized have to pay specific taxes and perform specific duties to the government in order to live peacefully and have access to ethical blood sources. 

Covens that fly under the goverment radar are often dangerous and most notoriously obtain blood from unethical sources, like down on their luck adults or even teenagers. In Tubbo’s case, the coven he affiliates with is one of the more dangerous ones.

It’s actually not fully fleshed out in my mind, because I spent more time thinking about the origins to vampires or later story stuff, but it would probably be a bit funny if the leader of Tubbo’s coven was Tommy. Tommy is a powerful progeny of a long dead original vampire called Envy. 

I can explain the power scaling and vampire hierarchy later. 

Tubbo gets caught blood running and is taken into government custody. After some court trials, they find his case sympathetic as he had grown up in a group home and had joined the coven as a teenager. 

The government means to sentence him to a rehabilitation center, which is basically just a slightly nicer prison with more social and psychological rewiring, but accidentally mess up the paperwork. The government is busy and kind of a hot mess when it comes to humanitarian aide. They mark him as a lone, fledgling vampire by accident and ship him off to be assimilated into a government approved coven. 

Tubbo gets forcefully escorted into a train and rides it, a very long and uncomfortable journey, to the very north of the archipelago. The weather here is dreary almost all year and experiences harsh winters. The summers, fortunately, are beautiful. Too bad Tubbo gets there in the beginning of autumn.

Tubbo considers trying to make his way back to his coven, but he doesn’t really want to. Before his arrest, Tommy had begun to get more and more possessive over him, becoming furious if anybody else were to feed from him. Tommy began to talk about how he’d turn Tubbo soon, something Tubbo didn’t want. When he expressed his displeasure, Tommy would just laugh. Also, Tubbo literally had no money of his own. He did skim some of the covens cash for emergencies, however that was repossessed from the island.

At this point Tubbo realized that they sent him to the wrong place, especially since he was being unassisted after leaving the train. He comes to the conclusion that they must’ve sent him to a different social service and decides to see what it can do for him because he’s certain they can’t force him to stay if he doesn’t have an agent with him. He goes to the address and has to walk miles into the woods. This furthers his decision to stay because he physically wouldn’t be able to sleep outside with the lack of resources he has on hand: none.

After walking all day in the rain, Tubbo finally reaches the address: an old Victorian building of notable size. If he were to guess, a decommissioned hospital repurposed into housing. He knocks and is very surprised to have Badboyhalo open it, an ancient vampire. Bad is equally surprised as he was expecting a young vampire and not a fleshy human. He welcomes him in, nonetheless.

Bad explains that his coven is one intended to take in abandoned fledgling vampires and lone vampires who either need help or are ones that the government won’t allow to exist outside of a coven. Tubbo is a bit surprised to find the place so… homey. The only experience he had with vampires formerly were desperate hungry ones. Also Tommy’s covens’ headquarters were in an abandon underground subway. 

The cushy, mostly vintage decor, roaring fireplace, mood lighting, and lack of bloodstains really made all the difference. He’s also surprised to find that Bad puts out a small platter of muffins and tea. While vampires can digest human food in small doses, those in Tubbo’s former coven rarely engaged.

Bad asks Tubbo how he ended up in a coven house and listens patiently as Tubbo relays his story. He decides to be honest, as Tommy had the uncanny ability to almost always be able to tell when he lied. He doesn’t want to repeat that mistake with Bad, in case he has a similarl ability. Being around Bad, and in a house full of unfamiliar vampires makes Tubbo incredibly anxious and paranoid. 

But Bad is kindly in demeanor and makes no move to turn Tubbo into a pre dinner snack. When Tubbo finishes his story Bad offers him the opportunity to stay, empathizing with Tubbo over their shitty government and even worse “social programs”. He promises that nobody in the house with feed from Tubbo.

Tubbo accepts, deciding that he’s probably dead if he returns to Tommy, and that if he dies here at least the government knows where he went. If he goes with Bad’s plan too, his record with be effectively swept clean. 

It takes Tubbo some time, but he quickly warms up to the residents of the house. It’s also just an incredibly nice place and Bad has an eye for furniture. What truely let’s Tubbo put down his guard is the gaggle of bratty child fledgling vampires who are too honest for politeness sake. I think it would be Dapper, Pomme, and Richas. They tell Tubbo that they wouldn’t want to try his blood because it smells anemic and foul. They also explain that they’re well fed enough to not even really consider it anyways. Their hunting urges are met in the woods, where they help control deer populations as well as others. 

Tubbo settles in well, getting along great with the members of Bad’s coven, Cellbit and Bagi, then probably all of the French. I’ll explain specifics in another post. All is well until… it’s not :). But for now, I want to talk about my B-plot. 

AYOOO!! This is so good! I think so too. And with your fingertips??? That’s amazing!

Got inspired by @livmightlive ‘s DBH LU au and tried my hand at drawing Four! (Another Phone and Fingertips Drawing!)

~This post~

This is what I think Four’s child model might look like!

Legend 1st gen ring thoughts

I think a lot of us are aware about the 1st gen ring from the oracle games but for those who aren’t basically in the oracle games you can find a ring that makes Link (Legend in this case) look like Zelda 1 Link (Hyrule).

in the context of LU sometimes I find myself trying to wrap my head around the concept of how Legend could find a ring that turns him into a guy from the future. My main theories are 1. it’s just not that serious and I overthink too many things (it’s just Zelda universe magic) 2. Maybe it’s a predictive ring, it turns the wearer into the next of their line in Legend’s case his successor. Maybe if Sky wore it he’d look like Four or if Time wore it he could turn into Twilight. Etc.

and then there’s #3 (my favorite one). In Oracle of Ages Legend travels to and from 500 years in the past and back to his present. Maybe once, without realizing it, he travels into the distant future, one where Hyrule has already existed, and picks up the ring that bestows the wearer the appearance of the most recent hero. I think this one makes the most sense with the time shenanigans thats already in Oracle of Ages.

My next question is that when Legend puts on the ring does it make him look like Hyrule but from his 1st journey, when he was like 10, bc that’s the form it has you take in the game. Or, would it just give Legend Hyrule’s general appearance? It doesn’t change your clothing in the game, it just changes your body. My favorite theory, which leads to a headcanon, is that it gives Legend the appearance of whatever Hyrule looks like currently. going off that last theory, I think when Legend introduces the ring it’s for giggles, it’s gimmicky. Maybe one time he tries it he notices that he has a huge scratch on his knee or something and he realizes that it always reflects Hyrule’s current form. This becomes useful in a pinch. For example, if the chain gets separated, Hyrule can write a note on his arm, like locations or warnings, and Legend can use the ring to read such messages. Maybe one time he tried this and to his horror there’s no message and Hyrule looks like he’s in bad shape. Legend learns from that that he can figure out whether Hyrule is hiding injuries. (This also probably leads to a big conversation about boundaries and personal space depending on how emotionally intelligent you think they are)

I think after their quest ends and they all go back home sometimes Legend puts on the ring just to see how Rulie’s doing. Sometimes, if he’s lucky, there’s even a little message for him. One day he puts on the ring and Hyrule hasn’t aged. He tries again and again and Hyrule never ages. Maybe one day the ring doesn’t do anything. </3

Lu Yellowjackets AU or is that too ambitious 😭?

okay I apologize to any Christians, I hope this isn’t offensive but I can’t stop thinking about it 😭

so you know how Christianity is semi-canon in the downfall timeline? Yeah- how would that work???

Christianity exists on Earth because of a long and complicated collision of history and pagan stories and then the death and resurrection of Jesus, a Jewish middle eastern man who was trying to defend his people against Roman oppressors. i know reasonably that Nintendo might’ve not expected that the Zelda series would take off so much so they probably put in some Christian iconology bc the Catholic aesthetic is kind of popular in Japan. It shows up a lot in anime too.

but now there’s a canon religion the series follows with a couple of goddess 😭

my only reasoning is that the Hyrule Christians believe that God is all powerful and that maybe Hylia, Din, Farore, Nayru are either angels or saints? More Catholic I guess

and maybe the hero of Time would be a Jesus figure?? His birth COULD be immaculate, we don’t know his parents. maybe Christianity comes from Calatia? Hylia I think only focuses on Hyrule??

in the Linked Universe I don’t personally head canon Hyrule or Legend to be catholic BUT. I think it would be really funny if they were

Legend calling Hylia a false prophet 😭

Hyrule holding up his cross like: “I prayed to God and now I can see moas”

If Time is downfall Jesus I think they would both probably have a spiritual crisis depending on how devout they both are 😭

also Legend just REALLY gives me Catholic guilt vibes.

When I was a kid my grandmother would have me recite the “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep” prayer which terrified me as a kid 😮‍💨 I feel like Hyrule would recite it every night and it would kind of just unsettle the chain.

PLEASE. Please tell me if anybody has thought the same or has thoughts on how it would work. This has been plaguing my mind

I’m sorry Christians

does anybody want to hear about my qsmp vampire au maladaptive daydream that I think about during my lectures or honestly anytime I really should be paying attention?

It's mostly BBH and Tubbo centric but lately I've been thinking of a Fitpac B plot

RIP Joann, now what?

I wanted to make a post I could copy and paste and or link when I see folks asking where to buy fabrics when Joann is gone. I sew a lot, generally between 100-200 items a year and I don't do it on a big budget. Stores are not in a particular order.

Notions:

Wawak.com - start here, mostly stay here. Wawak is a supplier for professional sewing businesses and have the prices that show it. I will not pay for gutermann Mara 100 anywhere else. I buy buttons, tools, thread, and most elastic here.

Stitch Love Studio - this is where I buy lingerie supplies https://www.etsy.com/shop/StitchLoveStudio?ref=yr_purchases

Fabric:

Fabric Mart - this is one where you want to sign up for emails and never buy unless its on sale. They run different sales every day and they rotate. Mostly deadstock fabrics but I buy more from here than anywhere else. Fantastic customer service and if you watch you can get things like $6 wool suiting or $4 cotton jersey. https://fabricmartfabrics.com/

Fabrics-Store - again, buy the sales not the full price. Sign up for the emails but redirect them to a folder because it is TOO MANY. They stock linen or good but not amazing quality. https://www.fabrics-store.com/

Purple Seamstress - This is where I buy my solid cotton lycra jersey. They have other things, but the jersey is what I'm here for. Inexpensive and very good quality. If you ask she will mail you a swatch card for the solids. https://purpleseamstressfabric.com/

LA Finch - deadstock fabrics with a fantastic remnant selection https://lafinchfabrics.myshopify.com/

Califabrics - mix of deadstock and big brands, easy to navigate and always seem to have good denim in stock. https://califabrics.com/

Boho Fabrics - good variety, nice bundles. I have also gotten some really great trims from here. https://www.bohofabrics.com/

Firecracker Fabrics - garment and quilting fabrics, really nice selection and great sale section. I've bought $5 yard quilting cottons here several times. https://www.firecrackerfabrics.com/

Hancock's of Paducah - Quilting fabric and some limited garment fabric. AMAZING sale section. Do not sleep on the sale section. This is my first stop when buying quilting fabrics. Usually the last stop too. Not particularly speedy shipping. https://www.hancocks-paducah.com/

Itokri - This is something a little different. Itokri is an Indian business with incredible traditional fabrics. Shipping to the US is expensive, but the fabric is so inexpensive it evens out. I generally end up paying like $30 for shipping. Beautiful ikat and block prints. https://itokri.com/

Miss Matatabi - this is a little treat. This isn't where you go to save money, but there are so many beautiful things in this shop. Ships from Japan incredibly quickly. https://shop.missmatatabi.com/

Lucky Deluxe - Craft thrift store, always has an incredible selection and fantastic customer service. I need to close the tab fast because I never go to this website without finding something I need. https://www.luckydeluxefabrics.com/

Swanson's - the OG of online craft thrift stores, but I find their website harder to navigate. https://www.swansonsfabrics.com

Honorary Mentions: I haven't shopped at these places yet but I have had them recommended and likely will at some point.

A Thrifty Notion - https://athriftynotion.com/

Creative Closeouts - https://creativecloseoutsfabric.com/ being rebranded to sewsnip.com on March 1 - quilting deadstock

Hawthorne Supply Co. - I just got this rec and I think I need to not look too closely or I'm going to slip with my debit card. https://www.hawthornesupplyco.com/

This is not an exhaustive list of everywhere you can buy fabric, or even a full list of where I shop. There are SO many options out there in the world. You also need to think outside the fabric store box. I thrift men's shirt fabrics for quilts and sheets for backing fabric. I don't do a ton of in person thrifting and my local stores don't get a lot of craft materials but every thrift store is its own universe and reflects the community it is in. Go out and find something cool.

Oh and final note: Don't shop at Hobby Lobby.

LU Maze Runner AU (actually explained this time)

Okay, I got way ahead of myself in my last post 😭 I forgot that maze runner didn’t have the same impact on everybody as it did me. Here’s the actual plot of my AU so that it makes sense to everyone 😭

Hyrule has reached an incredibly advanced age of technology and other sciences. (So think like, hunger games, or any sci-fi movie that takes place like, 200 years in the future.) Most of Hyrule has fallen to a horrible virus called the gloom. This gloom grows through plants and taints water sources.  This virus was engineered by a terrible cult called Demise, a group of people under the control of a man named Ganon who wishes to take control of Hyrule. 

In retaliation, a group sponsored by the royal lineage of Hyrule creates a research facility called HYLIA to study ways to take down Demise and fight against the gloom. They take individuals from across Hyrule who show either great resistance, sometimes even immunity to the gloom, and/or significant resistance against the cult of Demise. Demise has some type of brainwashing technology that causes people to either become submissive under its rule or compliant to the cult, often joining it. 

Of course in this story the people taken are the boys from the chain and also all the Zeldas. They’re all taken young, at least in the quarter HYLIA that they live in. Most of them were surrendered by their parents but others were either found or taken. HYLIA cannot afford to be kind. 

So in essence, everyone is stuck there, but it’s not horrible. They spend a lot of time getting “normal” schooling. They’re subjected to tests but it’s not necessarily like a horror lab AU. They’re not treated like animals or anything but they certainly can’t leave. This of course leads to a lot of resentment from the chain.

Eventually HYLIA starts getting frustrated. They aren’t getting very far with their testing. It just isn’t… natural. One of the key discoveries is that gloom resistance and resistance to Demise mind control is really hard to replicate in practical labs. The labs can’t be unbiased with literally the same exact sample each time. They realize that the only way they can actually get results is through real life experience. But how can they get that when all these people have been living in HYLIA for years? 

The Maze is born. It's huge, spanning hundreds of acres of land. In its very center lies the glade, a safe spot of land in the middle of it all, the maze surrounding it. (I’ll try and draw a rough map at some point.) They build two of them. One for the boys, one for the girls. They fill the mazes with genetically engineered monsters that they infuse with low levels of the gloom in order to see how the “participants” react when they fight them. 

The mazes are full of different puzzles and beasts so that HYLIA can study the participants and how they react. Through these means, they believe they will understand how to defeat Demise and the gloom.

I mentioned before that they send in each chain member going off of their game release dates. This starts with Hyrule and ends with Wild. They time this just around the span of a full year, sending in a member around a month or two at a time. 

Before they send in each member, they completely and FULLY erase their memories so that when they wake up in the glade, all they can remember is their name and age. They do remember how to do things, like math, reading, survival skills, etc. but they don’t know how or when they learned it. Sometimes they might get strong feelings, but that’s all they have. They’re essentially new people once they hit the maze. 

I’ll get more into the chain members and dynamics next time! Or I can write about anything you want 💕💕💕 please lmk thoughts!! They keep me motivated
