Minish Cap Thoughts

A guide to write Fuga Impossível characters, made for QSMP writers

I was planning to make some character analysis about q!Cell and what I think he would be like if he ever relapsed and knowing that most non-portuguese speaking people in the fandom haven't watched Fuga Impossível and if they had, they likely missed some details, I was going to explain how f!Cell was like... but then I tought, "why not make this a separate post explaining what the chracters were like", especially now that there's an interest on writing about Fuga Impossível and the events related to the series? So here we are.

Disclaimers:

• This is only about Fuga Impossível 1. I haven't watched Fuga Impossível 2 and know nothing about it other than Tazercraft's childhood being explained in it;

• I'm not going to explain the story in detail, only info related to the characters. Still, there are spoilers;

• The only characters I'll be talking about are Pac, Mike, Cell, JVNQ, Guaxinim and Felps (Felps isn't important to the series, but I'll talk about him because he is in the QSMP, so I thought it would be nice to explain his role in it);

• If I get any details wrong or miss something important, please correct me!

Tazercraft

Tazercraft are pretty much the same personality as they have on QSMP. One thing that is a little different is that while on QSMP Tazercrafy are seen like the two platonic soulmates that can't live without the other and can't betray the other, on Fuga Impossível Tazercraft have actually attempt to betray each other. At the start, when they get caught trying to steal the most expensive diamond of the world, both of them snitch on the other without the other knowing, in hopes that by doing so the other would be blamed and they would be free or get a lighter sentence (it didn't work).

By the end of the series, when they escape Alcatraz but end up stranded in an island, they also almost fight each other because Cell was getting in their heads and making them becoming hostile to each other, believing the other was about to betray them. However, they realise they were being played by Cell and you could say that they got a character development, learning to trust each other over anyone else.

Mike

Mike is the instigator of the duo. He is almost like a leader, he is the one who suggests things the most and the one who usually gets the final saying on things. He is also more prone to do violent actions, like attacking a guard or do risky things like trying to escape the police station prison overnight without telling Pac beforehand. He doesn't trust people easily and sees beyond their façade.

Pac

Pac is almost the opposite of Mike. He weights the risks of everything and because of that he seems afraid of everything, but he is just being careful. He also tends to trust people who are even a little nice to him. When Cell offered protection and money to TazerCraft at the start of the series, he believed that Cell was doing it from the goodness of his heart, meanwhile Mike saw how Cell was weird and agressive and therefore dangerous.

In a way: Mike is more protective and is a hothead. Pac is more trusting and is the voice of reason. They complement each other, in what one of them lacks, the other exceeds.

Also, I said that I wasn't going to talk about Fuga Impossível 2, but I think it's a good thing to talk about what was shown about their past there:

Basically, they were orphans and met in an orphanage. Pac protected Mike from bullies as children and fixed his glasses with duct tape, something that is present on Mike's glasses to this day. From there they became inseparable and decided to start robbing as a way to get money to give to the unfortunate.

Another thing about them: they call each other "moço". From the places they come from, "moço" means "bro" or something like that. In other dialects, it means "sir", but it's wrong as it's not what they mean. Sometimes translations mess with this so keep it in mind.

Cell

So... yeah. Cell is a very recongnisable character. He works in the kitchen, which is where he got his knife from. He has a tongue tick that sounds like he is licking his lips loudly and that's important because he does it a lot and it's very noticeable when he is around (although other characters haven't realised it). He calls everyone "queridinho", which means "darling" (or more literally "little darling"), it kind of have the same impact as "honey" in English but when it comes from Cell's mouth it's threatening and creepy.

Other than his knife, he also has a Cellphone (which is where his name comes from) that he uses to threaten people with his contacts from outside (later it's shown that Cell's Cellphone has no signal and he has been fooling everyone for the longest time). He also carries a lot of money with himself.

From the point of view of others, Cell is scary and agressive. He threatens people if he thinks they're looking funny at him. He is very prone to violence, and while Mike contains himself especially with the help of Pac, Cell doesn't care most of the time and if given the chance he WILL attack and kill someone.

The thing about Cell (that is consistent with q!Cellbit as well) is that he values trust A LOT. He despises betrayals. When you think about that, you can almost see his side of things when he decides to kill JVNQ after he finds out that Tazercraft and JVNQ betrayed him and tried to escape without him. Especially because he didn't do anything to Tazercraft before that, other than threaten them if they ever betrayed him by showing a human ear (friendly beahavior /j).

Speaking of which, we now know for sure that Cell is a cannibal, but that is something that became canon/known only on QSMP. On Fuga Impossível, there are some hints of him being a cannibal, like his tongue tick (if you reach), the human ear he carries around and the fact that at the end of the series he let Tazercraft starve and suggest that they cannibalize each other, but nothing concrete.

Another thing about Cell is that he controls Alcatraz. He blackmails Felps, who is a guard, and makes him do whatever he wants, going from searching Tazercraft's cell when it's not needed, to getting him out of solitary confinament early. He's also the leader of a gang.

Cell is also REALLY strong. He not only kills JVNQ, but also Felps and an entire rival gang by himself during a prison rebelion. We get to see the things from his point of view for a bit and everything is a little distorced, which is interesting. He is also REALLY fast.

To end this, Cell is also good at manipulating others. It's implied that he has used people to escape before. At the end, he also tries to get Tazercraft to betray each other. He first gives his knife to Mike and tells Pac that Mike was planning to kill him eventually, because there were 4 of them (with Guaxinim) and their boat could only carry 3. He really sweet talks Pac into trusting him and almost succeeded.

JVNQ

JVNQ is an important character at the start of the series. He is first shown trying to escape when Tazercraft are arriving Alcatraz. He has tried to escape countless times before and it's later discovered that those attempts were actually him gaining time to do an actual escape by boat, buildimg the boat and everything.

He and Cell doesn't have a good relationship and it's never explained why*. Both of them warn TazerCraft to stay away from the other and they choose to be on JVNQ's side.

(*correction: JVNQ mentions that Cell used his friends and got them killed trying to escape, which is the reason why he hated Cell.)

JVNQ tries to escape with TazerCraft, Cell hears them and demands to be included in the plan. They pretend that they're going to include him and say that they're going to escape the day after, but they actually were going to escape that night. However, Cell finds out and when TazerCraft are not looking, Cell kills JVNQ and "assumes" his role (but this first time it fails).

JVNQ is buried by TazerCraft later in the prison's cemettery. There, they find a note telling them to trust Guaxinim.

Guaxinim

Guaxinim is a character that shows up only later in the series. He is a friend of JVNQ and an engineer. When he is presented, he is in solitary confinament.

Guaxinim and Cell seems to have... a thing. Just like JVNQ, him and Cell hate each other. But the difference is that Guaxinim is the only one who can make Cell shut up and even threaten him back. There is a scene where Cell is mad as hell, blood all over his body and knife in hands, saying "I'll make you shut up" and Guaxinim instead of backing off, he tells Cell "Then do it" and Cell only looks and walks away. When he, Cell and Tazercraft get stranded in an island trying to escape, Cell only gives food to Guaxinim and although it's mainly because Guaxinim was the only one who could fix the boat, there is a bigger intimacy between them. It's part of why TazerCraft almost betray each other, they think that Guaxinim had already betrayed them. Because although he was their friend and not Cell's, it was clear that Cell and Guaxinim knew each other long before them. But this is all subtext and nothing is really confirmed.

Guaxinim doesn't betray TazerCraft and instead builds a trap that keeps Cell from following and killing them when they do leave the island for good.

Overall, Guaxinim is very misterious but at the same time friendly to the people who he thinks deserves it.

Felps

As I said before, Felps is not an important character, but I will talk about him because he is on QSMP and is important for the connection between Fuga Impossível and QSMP.

Somehow, Felps death was retconned on QSMP and instead he not only lived but also found Cell alone in the island he was stuck in. They became best friends after that and Felps helped Cell get therapy.

Felps was a prison guard that was being blackmailed by Cell and for a while he reluctantly did everything Cell told him to do until he found out that Cell's Cellphone didn't have signal. Then he stopped listening to him but it backfired shortly after because Cell killed him**.

(**correction: Felps never learned about his cellphone never having signal, he was killed before TazerCraft could tell him.)

So, that's everything!

LU Detroit Become Human/Android AU

I should start this by saying that I’ve never played the game myself but I really love the concept! I do apologize if things are messy though, this really just spilled out of me 😭 for anyone who doesn’t really know Detroit Become Human, it’s basically a future America where a huge company makes hyper realistic androids who have different jobs. They all have the ability to deviate which is basically just them breaking past their coding and developing a conscience/sentience (and I would say a soul). The company obviously doesn’t like this and tries to stop this. If anything, this is just my take on an Android AU.

Anyways, here’s it in context of LU

Sky: Bodyguard Android

starts to deviate when he starts forming an attachment to Sun

She gets kidnapped in a political scheme. His handlers try to bench him but he fully deviates and goes out by himself to find her. 

He’s probably a newer model or gets upgraded regularly. Sun is sentimental so she tries to make sure to keep him because he’s familiar in her busy life. (She’s the daughter to the president or whoever the head of state is)

He manages to find and rescue Sun but not without suffering a lot of damage. Especially electrical damage.

Sun is touched. She doesn’t care that her savior is an android at all and she especially doesn’t care that Sky is deviated. She loves him too. She tells him that she could always tell that he was different…

It pains her, breaks her heart, but she sends Sky away for his own good.

Four: Different androids downloaded into a child model 

Four is the combination of 4 different deviated androids uploaded into a child model. 

Red, Blue, Green, and Vio (these are like perfect names for robots) all “worked” in the same company. It’s like a big sales department or something like that. 

Red is a nanny bot for the building’s daycare, Blue is a security bot, Green is a secretary bot, and Vio is basically a filing bot

They all deviate separately. When it’s found that they’re deviating they’re all destroyed on company grounds and dumped in the landfill. (It’s cheaper to do this rather than send them back)

Green managed to wake up. He’s broken beyond repair but he manages to spot an empty child android near their dumping spot. He takes pity on the others and somehow manages to upload them all into one body.

Shadow is a virus in the bot they all share. He got so big that somehow he developed a consciousness of his own. (Probably the reason the model was discarded in the first place. Imagine you’re grieving so you get a child android and it starts going ‘evil mode’)

Somehow they all make this work, Shadow included.

Time: Repurposed as a farm Android

Time started out as a child android but was recycled to be used in a small military project. 

This project is the predecessor to the one Wars is in so it’s mostly just an experiment.

Time starts to deviate because whoever was supposed to wipe all of his previous hardware, THE CHILD HARDWARE, messed up and left a good portion of it behind along with his memory bank. 

So now Time is basically child coding in an adult model being forced to learn how to commit acts of violence. It doesn’t mesh well with his former programs and he deviates. 

He escapes and immediately gets swiped up and sold to a pawn shop.

Eventually Talon buys him for extra hands on his ranch.

Time starts to really enjoy this. He takes to the farm lifestyle really well. Malon also is really great. He loves having a friend. 

As she grows, he finally gets to grow, mentally at least. It’s a weird experience for him because a good amount of his programming was never meant to grow past a child state. 

Malon and Talon realize that he’s a deviant and probably has been for a long time. They don’t care and vow to protect him. He’s family. 

Malon and Time fall in love and take over the ranch. Slowly it becomes a safe space for other deviants.

Twilight: Officer Android (Turned wolf)

Twilight is an officer android at a women’s prison. 

A lot of the people there actually like Twilight a lot because he is not cruel or condescending like a lot of the human officers and he’s kind of easy to get stuff out of.

They can mess with Twilight’s programming enough to get extra stuff from the commissary or help with their jobs. Twilight is very helpful. He’s also programmed to know their rights and local social programs so he’s very useful to have around before court dates.

Midna is an android activist who had gotten incarcerated. She slowly gets Twilight to trust her and eventually convinces him to help her break out. He doesn’t realize it, but she’s been slowly getting him to deviate as well. 

When the break out happens, Midna gets away and Twilight gets captured. She feels awful knowing that he’s likely going to be destroyed.

Instead he’s used in some experiments where they try to plant human focused hardware into android (can androids be animals???) animals. They put him into a wolf dog that would usually be meant to assist police. 

This is a miserable experience for Twilight, especially now that he’s deviated.

Midna, who’s poked around to see if she can save Twilight from being pulverized, stages a rescue mission and gets him out. She sends him somewhere she things will be safe.

Wind: Child Model in a retirement home

Wind is a child android that’s used in a retirement home to bring joy and to lift the spirits of the residents there. 

At first he doesn’t even realize that he’s deviated until Granny, his secret favorite resident, mentions it to him. Turns out a lot of the old folks knew but they didn’t care bc Wind is so charming and they really do love him.

For a while he continues as normal, just with the knowledge that he’s loved. If anything he performs better. 

One day Ayrll, the granddaughter of Granny, is visiting. Another resident gets really confused and tries to grab her, hurting and scaring her. Wind uses physical force to separate them, something not in his coding at all.

The retirement home doesn’t want to do extra paperwork so they get rid of Wind by tying him up and dropping him off a boat. (The retirement home is on the ocean)

Tetra later fishes him up and brings him back online. 

Tetra is very happy to have a “maid bot” which pisses Wind off a lot. She lives in a multigenerational home so she’s excited to do less chores. 

They all figure out that Wind is deviated but they don’t care. They all take him under their wing and fully still expect him to do chores

Legend: Standard Household Android 

Legend is an earlier model of a household Android. He’s been bought and sold 6 DIFFERENT times.

The first time was from his uncle who didn’t actually want him for his programming. He was a lonely old man and Legend was on sale. He treats Legend like a person and when he passes away Legend starts to deviate. 

Legend is auctioned off in an estate sale and some people from outside the country buy him. He travels around with a group that does environmental work and performs aid programs for a while. Everyone there also treats him pretty friendly. On a boat ride back to the mainland a storm hits and Legend goes overboard trying to protect people on the deck.

He washes up on a small island where a girl Marin finds him and repairs him. She, and nobody on the island, treats him like an android at all. He fully deviates and enjoys living like a person. The storm comes back and decimates the island. Marin is gone.

The people who come to offer aid recognize Legend as a deviated android and ship him back to be tested on. 

There he meets Ravio, who is the same exact model as him. Ravio is meant to be compared to Legend so they can study differences in deviant and non deviant androids. 

Legend manages to escape wherever they’re keeping him one day and bumps into Ravio during his attempt to escape. Ravio has never left the series of offices he first woke up in. He’s not fully deviated but he wants to know freedom. He and Legend escape together. 

Hyrule: Medical Android (hospital setting)

Hyrule is one of the first medical androids. Unlike the more modern medical androids, he has a lot of built in programs and functions that newer models don’t have.

He has a built in defibrillator, inhaler, but most uniquely he can make drugs and medicine on the spot. These would be things that paramedics tend to carry like morphine,epinephrine, ketamine. Also more simple things like cold medicines.

His kind was discontinued due to a lot of legal actions taken by companies under big pharma. It’s too convenient, and cheap, to have robots who are programmed to help anybody in need distributing drugs for free. Also some issues with drug dealers stealing his model to have them continuously producing drugs to sell.

He gets discarded, thankfully through illegal means so instead of being sent to a processing facility he’s dumped behind the hospital in a dumpster. 

He spends years wandering the streets in shadier parts of the city aiding people who need it. He doesn’t know when he deviated but it happened slowly. 

He’s hunted by both gangs who want to use him to make drugs. He’s also hunted by the corporation that made him believe that older models that have deviated hold vital information to how it happens in the first place and he’s part of the last of his kind so they want to dissect him. 

Warriors: Soldier Android (Secret military project)

Warriors is part of a military project to use androids as soldiers. This is probably breaking a lot of international treaties so it’s kept as a secret. 

He was meant to be a “captain” Android, one that can over power other android’s programming to control them.

One of the people working on the project becomes infatuated with him. Cia 😭. She steals him and takes him home. 

This is nowhere near as fun as she thought it would be because he doesn’t have a lot of social programming. He just walks around her house and barks orders at the microwave and tells her what strategies they can use if her apartment is attacked.

She buys pleasure bot hardware that has a “boyfriend” program on it because this is becoming unbearable.

Uploading the hardware causes Wars to IMMEDIATELY deviate because this is not at all what he was built to do. It actually corrupts some of his programming.

He’s confused and scared while Cia is exuberant. Finally she has a proper boyfriend. She can ignore the glitching and bugs because at least Wars isn’t yelling at her computer anymore. 

Unfortunately for her, Wars was developed to be a strategic war machine, boyfriend hardware or not, so he identifies her as a threat because she hurt him. His new hardware, however, makes him not want to hurt her. So, he runs away.

Wild: Lab Assistant Android

Wild was an assistant to some brilliant scientists in a lab and engineering facility.

He worked primarily with Flora who treated him like a robot in every way. She’s kind of creeped out by the idea of androids so she’s not really fond of having one around her all the time. He is useful though. 

Her coworkers treat the android a lot more humanly than she does for a while. Eventually she gets used to him and starts getting kinder and kinder. 

Wild starts to deviate but he desperately tries to hide it. He really enjoys the time he gets to spend with his friends.

One day something goes wrong and the lab starts to explode. Wild fully deviates to rescue Flora. He’s able to get her out just in the nick of time. He gets stuck inside though after a wall collapses and traps half of his body under rubble. He yells at her to run and so she does.

Wild comes back online with his memory files damaged or gone and half of his body melted and severely damaged. He can’t remember anything but he feels like a person. 

Eventually everyone ends up together on Time’s ranch but I really haven’t thought out a story ;•_•

 I hope this isn’t a confusing or messy read 😭 it really just kind of poured out of me. I’m aware there’s like a crazy amount of plot holes but I had a ton of fun writing this!! I might go back later and rewrite or try and clean this up. If you have any thoughts, questions, suggestions, (how to fill said plot holes 😭) please lmk!! I thrive off of interaction!!! Ty for reading 💕

Can someone explain the portrait of the lady from the bbh stream? I haven’t been able to catch up

I am of the opinion that the baddie in the painting is Bad

Bad: I remember holding him, and then there was a bright light, and then I felt warm

[Bad: I remember holding him, and then there was a bright light, and then I felt warm.

Bagi: Okay, so you should write that, "we need to find Dapper." Dapper was with you and now we just need to find him.

Bad: Yes! I need to find him.

Bagi: So just write that so you don't forget it. "We need to find Dapper."

Bad: [writing while he talks] Find Dapper, wake him up. Got it!

Bad: Oh! Yeah, he's sleeping right now.

Bagi: No.

Bad: I remember, I carried him!]

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

The idea of there being a shitty Zelda movie is actually upsetting me. My stomach hurts I need to touch grass or something

But fr I need to stop thinking about these things I wish they’d stop making video game movies.

Unless they’re animated

Maze Runner AU Part 1

Sorry for the long wait to anybody who was anticipating this! Without further ado, here’s part 1!

Hyrule wakes up and honestly takes to things pretty well. He spends his first few days in the maze poking around the glade, (the safe center of the maze).

He doesn’t know yet, but the maze is shaped like the triforce. The center, empty, triangle a safe meadow free of any mazes. It’s cut through by a river and has a few clusters of trees. 

Hyrule, who doesn’t remember how he knows these things, is a good survivalist. He makes a small shelter in a small cave, really just a hole between some rocks. 

The maze has three entrances. He chooses one and finally enters the maze. Things are pretty simple at first. Eventually he runs into a few small monsters which he basically just bashes with a self made spear. 

After a week or so he finally runs into a ‘boss’. It’s a LARGE reptile that shoots projectiles at him. (It’s just Aquamentus for Zelda 1 fans) He manages to kill it relatively unharmed. The next day the elevator rises again. In it are some basic supplies, rope, a ration kit, and a small dagger. 

 Hyrule learns whenever he solves a particularly difficult puzzle or kills a particularly large monster he is rewarded. 

This is pretty encouraging to him and he keeps traveling deeper and deeper into the maze, exploring it from different entrances as well. He does this for a little over a month becoming pretty adapted to the maze, getting stronger and smarter. Unfortunately he gets really hurt one day fighting a huge bird that shoots lightning strikes. He catches a strike to his left leg and retreats. 

He’s left with a severe 3rd degree burn. He doesn’t know how he knows, but somehow he knows that he needs herbs that grow deep in the maze to treat it. So, cue him making a mad attempt to go get said herbs but being unable to due to his injury slowing him down.

He stops trying and starts trying to treat it in the glade but he just doesn’t have what he needs. Infection and blood loss sets in and Hyrule starts getting very sick.

Meanwhile, . . On the outside everyone, namely Legend, are starting to freak out because it really looks like Hyrule is on the path to dying a slow, fevered death. 

Legend makes a huge fuss and he is next to enter the maze. It happens fast and unceremoniously. He doesn’t tell anybody or say goodbye, he urges HYLIA to get him in there as fast as they can. It’s not until he’s in the chair and going under amnesia that he starts to think about the implications of losing his memory. 

When Legend enters it’s obvious he doesn’t recognize or remember Hyrule because he fully ignores him and immediately runs into the maze trying to escape. 

He does this for a few more days before slowing down and talking to the other dude. He also quickly realizes that the other dude is SUPER sick. 

Hyrule vaguely answers some of Legend’s questions but he barely has energy to do anything but sleep. Guilt and panic engulfs Legend and he starts trying to help. Hyrule’s wound smells awful. 

Hyrule tells Legend about the herb he needs and Legend works tirelessly until he gets it. (It’s basically nature's antibiotic). 

Their friendship reblossoms as Legend starts nursing him back to health.

On the Zelda side:

HYLIA is surprised when Artemis doesn’t assimilate all too well. She panics upon awakening and spends her entire first week hiding in one spot. Eventually hunger drives her out and she calms down after foraging a meal. 

It takes her another week until she even considers going in the maze. She doesn’t explore it thoroughly. Her first monster sends her fleeing back to the safety of the glade.

Eventually she gets a little bit more courageous in the safer parts of the maze. Upon completing a semi difficult puzzle, HYLIA sends her a care package very similar to the one they sent Hyrule. Unlike Hyrule, this care package does not have the safe influence. 

Artemis quickly pieces it together that she’s here because of a greater power and that when she does tasks that it deems favorable she gets rewarded. So she refuses to reenter the maze in order to see how far she can push that force. She wants answers or nothing at all.

So Artemis starts chilling. She starts building herself a base. She starts seeing what food she can cultivate inside the glade itself. 

After a month of Artemis basically doing jackshit HYLIA gets frustrated. They send in Dawn.

Dawn and Artemis have never gotten along. They never actually had a real fight before, not like Legend and Wars, but it’s always been a known thing that they do NOT like each other. 

Dawn has also always been more aggressive and headstrong so they think she will shake things up. Dawn has also been causing issues since Hyrule, who she was close with, got sent in so it’ll be good to get her off their plates. 

Dawn adjusts well to being sent in and Artemis hesitantly greets her. It’s obvious that the memory erasure works well because they have no recollection of each other and begin to get along with each other well. 

Artemis settles in Dawn giving her a tour of the glade. When Dawn asks about the maze entrances Artemis tenses up and tells her about her theory. She shows her the gifts that were sent after she completed a puzzle. She asks Dawn not to go in…

And Dawn agrees. She thinks it’s a worthy theory to test and the glade provides enough. 

So for almost another month Dawn and Artemis live a happy, cottagecore, life in the glade. 

HYLIA unceremoniously sends in Aurora who’s always been stubborn. It works. 

Shortly after welcoming her in, Aurora points at the maze and asks about it. Artemis and Dawn explain about why their avoiding it and Aurora just basically goes: Okay well I’m not doing that. 

And they can’t stop her. After Aurora starts running the maze Dawn begins to follow bc it doesn’t really matter anymore and eventually Artemis is just: “fuk u guys.” And starts running it too.

As always pls lmk what you guys think!

My daydreaming has recently just reverted to my middle school form so here’s the edgy BBH lab AU that I’ve been chewing on

Evil lab, probably just the federation does human testing

they take bbh, a regular guy, and try to genetically form him into an idea assassin or something. Night vision resulting in glowing, white eyes, camouflaged skin to blend in with statues, lighter bones to better climb and scale buildings, and a tail for balance. Sharp teeth, claws, and horns all as backup weapons. Enhanced speed and strength. He’s now a man made demon! his creators are likely pleased! They’ve created a perfect being to do their biddings. Perfect to steal artifacts, to spy, and to kill.

They realize they’ve made a mistake when they try to send bbh on his first mission. All their work resulted in Bad’s brain changing as well. He goes from a reasonable guy they kidnapped to an instinct filled, FURIOUS demon. They didn’t do much psychological upkeep or brainwashing when they altered him, they might have assumed or had a plan to mess with his frontal lobe and amygdala but either, oops, forgot, OR accidentally altered it to make him 10x more unruly.

the second his feet hit the ground he immediately turns back and probably takes out a scientist or two before being sedated.

no they have an absolutely livid and untamable perfect assassin that they continuously try to hypnotize or brainwash but it never works. They try sedation or drugging but every time Bad just naps it off and wakes up angrier. It isn’t until they introduce Bad to the child subjects, idk why they would actually do that there’s like a fifty percent chance he would just fly into homicidal rage, and he becomes fiercely protective and loyal to them.

finally they have leverage over him.

and then eventually he either breaks out or gets rescued with the kids but I haven’t really got there yet 😗

idk about you guys but I love reading what people are thinking about or their personal Brain aus.

this sparked from rewatching the analogue horror videos from the Poppy Playtime devs. I really enjoy the plot and horror they have but also find it very amusing that these people just didn’t really have a way to actually subdue their experiments in times of disaster? They literally had Huggy Wuggy just standing in the atrium what were they thinking

(time skip)

I'm so tired.

Skyward Sword thoughts but mostly shipping and some LU

Okay I’m having big thoughts after finishing Skyward sword and they’re mostly about the shipping (I know I’m disappointing myself rn 😭)… and it’s NAMELY… Groozelink. But we’ll get there. First. Analysis. (This is also gonna swing back around to LU, not yet but we’ll get there! In case anyone is confused over the Sun and Sky naming convention)

Skyward Sword is the first Zelda game I’ve played to actually make me kind of ship Zelink. I’m not a hater, cross my heart, but like, most times I just really really don’t ship Zelink. Either canon isn’t enough for me or just.. idk, it doesn’t appeal to me. Most Zelink ships just don’t do it for me.

But Skyward Sword… from the beginning they were basically an established relationship which somehow didn’t annoy me. I thought they were kind of cute, like first love teens. Sun sticks up for Sky. Nice. Cute. No flaws or annoyances.

But then… DRAMA happens and it feeds my soul. I was pretty content in the first acts embarking on this quest for Sky’s kinda girlfriend. She endeared herself to me enough for my heart to be in it. And then you actually see her a few times and she’s got her own quest going on and it’s like cool… how do I fit into this? There’s something bigger than the two of them going on now. (I also just really like how they showed that she had a lot going on. It’s nice to see her have autonomy)

BUT THEN… 👀👀👀 Sun awakens her identity as Hylia and full on admits that she was using Sky’s affection for her to embark him on this quest which raises a lot of questions. Like:

Is Sun’s affections real or were they fabricated by the Goddess? How much of this was Sun and how much of this was Hylia?

I don’t doubt that Sun does have affection for Sky but if it were me, I would be HAUNTED. If I were Sky I’d be replaying that conversation through my head again and again. Especially in the post credit scene where she starts talking about how she wants to stay and protect the triforce… like… is that YOU or HYLIA??? And then she asks Sky what he’s going to do and it’s like… does he even have a choice? This whole game was kind of leading to the fact that this is what he was made for. It’s his fate. Of COURSE he’s going to stay with her. But what I want to know is does he ever think about that??? Does he ever wonder if Sun loves him back?

And if I were Sun I would feel guilty, and holy shit she’s literally cursed, in my opinion, of all the memories and knowledge of the Goddess she once worshiped. And if she does like Sky I bet she would wonder if those are her true feelings or if they’re just convenient to keep everything in line. Or maybe she’s scared of hurting him again. One part of her dragged him purposefully into an extremely dangerous quest and now she’s pulling him into even more serious responsibilities… (if I were to character analyze ss!Link I really feel like he’s the type to be really content with letting others take the reins for stuff like this. His quest was really out of necessity. In my eyes)

From here on it’s my own kind of really dramatic fanfic-esque take on everything so if you’re not down me way over thinking and reading into things this might not be for you

Because Groose… 😭 I’ve been aware of Groose as concept and the Groozelink ship for a while now but I always thought of it as a crack ship until I played the game and… there’s a LOT more there than I ever expected there to be. why TF was he there for like most of the key moments??? Why did they become a trio??? Why were they exchanging GLANCES in those cutscenes????

But anyways, I think they’d get married really soon after getting to the surface. Kind of a shotgun wedding. They’re basically going to be the first monarchs of Hyrule (or at least I think that’s implied?) they’re at least going to probably be in positions of leadership building the kingdom of Hyrule. Getting married makes sense. They love each other. Right?… RIGHT?!?!? That has to be real!! Out of everything at least they still have each other????

I think Sun starts getting eaten up by guilt. She doesn’t know if Sky is happy. He’s a pillar of strength next to her but he’s changed… of course he is after what he went through but she knows that he’s upset. He’s having nightmares, he’s stressed. She thinks that maybe he’s feeling trapped… And maybe she’s what’s trapping him into this stressful lifestyle. That maybe there’s some mistrust.

I also think maybe she starts feeling discontent with being the goddess reincarnate. She’s still mortal, she doesn’t want to be perfect. It’s getting to her… so….

She turns her eyes on Groose. Groose who’s gotten so reliable. So kind. So… so FINE.

So maybe one night she leans in for the kiss and of course Groose is kind of horrified. He’s also confused because he loved her for so long but… she’s married!! To his best friend. But. He also knows that she’s been traumatized and traumatized people do weird things. So he turns her down, with surprising grace, and begs her to consider her husband. He decides he won’t tell Sky, because at the moment that feels like it would do more harm than good. He is worried about Sun’s mental health though… but before he can do anything about that…

Sky tries to pull the exact same thing 😭😭😭

so now poor Groose is trying to figure out what to do bc how do you tell a couple they’ve both tried to cheat on each other and how do you gently tell two traumatized people that maybe they need to pump the breaks on building an entire new country, relinquished care of the triforce for a little bit, and focus on actually healing from what happened to them???

But then Sky gets eaten by a portal and gets thrust into another quest but with 8 other Link’s just like him.

Sky eventually tells the chain that he’s married to the goddess incarnate. He’s kind of horrified in himself for making a pass at Groose, kind, reliable Groose…, so he goes full wife guy iykyk. So for months he’s like: *fists clenched* IlovemywifeIlovemywifeIlovemywife-

To where it’s like… part of his personality.

And then they finally do get to Sky’s era and… at first they’re just as lovey dovey as you’d expect from how Sky’s been talking… but then… maybe over dinner… (don’t ask me how this happens just let me write my shitty soap opera) Sky figures out that Sun made a pass at Groose. Maybe he finds a letter Groose was trying to draft or maybe Sun’s been trying to get the guy to stay over while Sky’s been gone…

And holy SHIT do they have the fight of the MILLENNIA. But it’s not just Sky going: “omg I can’t believe you tried to cheat on me” it’s “HE’S MINNNEEEEE!!!!” From both of them

And then there’s screaming, plate throwing, cussing. And then it’s just not about the attempted cheating but every single little thing they can nitpick. All of their dirty laundry out.

And the chain, who were trying to enjoy their nice dinner of pumpkin soup, are sitting in shocked silence the whole time just like: 😦😟🥲

Maybe a few of them are secretly relieve bc they’ve had some relationship issues BUT NOT LIKE THIS while others are scared this might be some sort of genetic Link curse.

The fight escalates when Sun pulls the harp off the wall. Sky treats her like she just picked up a loaded gun. Things look like they’re gonna get worse when they notice Groose standing in the doorway.

He’s so sad… he’s down trodden. He doesn’t want his best friends to fight like this… he’s going back to Skyloft for a while.

Sky and Sun promise each other to actually talk when Sky gets back home and when he does… they do. Because. They do love each other. They just hate feeling like pawns incapable of their own actions and fates…

And… they both really do like Groose. So they talk to him… apologize. And the rest… 😘 who knows lol.

They grow not only to love each other more authentically but respect each other in new ways too. They learn to live apart from each other but with each other as well… and. They do really love each other.

The end I’m tried I’m going to bed 😮‍💨 I hope somebody else had a similar thought process to me bc this game was genuinely kind of a mindfuck to me (but I loved it). But there’s SO much to unpack with Link in Zelda in Skyward Sword. Like, it had me going bonkers. If you liked this pls… pls talk to me. I NEED to talk about this with someone. This is a cry for help. Pls somebody talk to me about skyward sword it was insane

Edit: and omg what was going on with Zelda and Impa too??? Lowkey Good Luck Babe coded
