Do fairy wings have nerves? Also, this is SO DETAILED. DANGGG!!!
As I’ve said before, I miss torturing Hyrule.
I drew him being captured by a fairy hunters, they believe that fairy blood can cure all diseases. They tore off his wings so he couldn’t fly away and escape.
Warning: blood
I aspire for my headcanons to look like this one day. Well thought out, deeply personal, and organized. Not the disaster that is my mind just going ‘hey you know what would be really funny…’ but those thoughts are also fun ig.
So I know your autistic Wild (my beloved) has Brenda and Brenda the second for soft friends, does he have any other soft friends?
Do you have any autistic or other neruodivergent head canons for the other Links? (Even if it's just what kinds of things you think they might have for special interests)
OOOOOO wonderful questions!!!!! Authenticity Wild my beloved
He has SO MANY soft friends. I also imagine Flora has a lot too, especially ones with scented things inside- they help her feel grounded when she dissociates or is remembering things related to the Calamity. Their beds in their house (separate beds in the same room on the loft) and their couch are just filled with soft friends. None are as special as the Brenda’s, of course.
I think each culture throughout Hyrule would have a different kind of most common toy and most common stuffed toy. Once everyone figured out how much Wild loves soft friends, they always gifted him one when he helped out the town. Wild loves this so much. The first time it happened he cried from overwhelming emotions of happy and grateful and feeling loved and appreciated.
Other link stuff below :D
I definitely like to imagine all of the Links as neurodivergent. When I have them rotating in my head I like to give them different diagnoses to ✨spice things up✨ and get more diversity in there. Here are the ones I usually give to each Link:
Sky: autism, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, dyslexia
^there is a series I follow of Sky with epilepsy, and I also really love that headcanon
Time: autism, Tourette’s syndrome
Twilight: depression and anxiety disorders
Wind: Down syndrome
Alternatively for Wind: FASD
Wild: autism
Hyrule: ADHD, CPTSD
Four: synesthesia, OCD, sometimes DID
Legend: borderline personality disorder
Warriors: PTSD, anxiety disorder
When I have them as all autistic, here are what I imagine their special interests are:
Time: masks (as a child, not so much anymore), cows, had memorized every dad joke to ever exist
Sky: bugs and birds :). In Skyloft birds was mainly just Loftwings, but then when he discovered all the birds on the surface it became all birds. He single-handedly catalogues and describes all the surface birds.
Warriors: battle strategizing, sewing
Wind: sailing, pirates, also characters from a storybook his Grandma used to read to him and Ayrll every single night (at Wind's insistence)
Wild: cooking, horses, cataloguing plants in the sheikah slate
Legend: magical items, jewelry (jewelry with magical properties are the COOLEST SHIT)
Hyrule: biology/anatomy, and there's a series of books they once found in an abandoned town that they LOVE. Books are hard to come by in their era so those are their absolute most prized possession
Twilight: goats, wolves. He knows every. Single. Fact.
Four: clocks, tools. Four wants collect every tool in existence, and wants to know exactly what it does. Especially blacksmithing tools, bc Four also really likes blacksmithing
hell yeah we love bamf zelda
Princess in Shining Armor
As someone with randomly shit breathing and a penchant for making bad life decisions, I will headcanon both of these.
I see your 'Sky has asthma and that's why he can't run', and I raise you: Sky has Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia, and that's why he can't run.
Now, before you run away because you've never even heard of IST, hear me out. (If you don't know the condition, it's a dysautonomic heart condition vaguely similar to POTS, just without the low blood pressure.)
We all know Sky's lived above the clouds with minimal oxygen levels his entire life, as have most of his decedents, so it wouldn't make sense for him to have shitty lungs, right? That's where IST comes in. See, it's not related in the slightest to physical health or upbringing, it's just a genetic thing that is due to your sinus being a bit funky. It's also not life threatening, so that takes away from Skyloft needing to have non-canonical advanced medical procedures. IST's main symptom is that it severely decreases your stamina by making your heart race and you become extremely out of breath, often meaning you have to stop and wait for a bit for your heart to calm down.
Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so too.
However, and here's the real seller- unlike asthma, you can just power through and not die. It really, really sucks, but this ability is quite the gamebreaker for me when you think about all of the extreme physical tasks Sky has completed in game, not to mention his swordplay, that if he had exercise induced asthma would've very likely set off an attack. With IST tho, yes it would feel like you were dying, but it is absolutely be possible to just power through your symptoms and have no adverse effects except from your extreme discomfort and fatigue afterwards.
TLDR: Sky has Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia because it fits him so much better than asthma, as someone who has both asthma and IST. And no, this isn't just me projecting my hyper specific heart condition onto one of my favourite characters, what do you mean....
This is the most inspiring ‘just do the damn thing it’s not that deep’ message I’ve ever seen.
apply for jobs you’re not qualified for! audit upper-level classes! get drunk with your TAs! see that poster advertising that lecture series? go there take notes and ask questions! thank the presenter for talking about this topic you love! if the class is full before you register, email the professor and ask if they can squeeze you in! RAISE YOUR HAND! tell the disability accomodation office to do their goddamn job! ask for help! file complaints! go to class in your pajamas and destroy the reading! you got this! you KNOW you got this! be arrogant enough to learn EVERYTHING! take your meds! punch a velociraptor in the dick! fear is useless and temporary! glory is forever! shed your skin and erupt angel wings! help out! spread your sun!
i had a really good morning! you deserve a really good morning! kill anyone who says you don’t and build a throne from their bones!

RIAIVJDOJS!!!
Ravio being the sweet wide-eyed innocent bunny and Legend with the ‘i don’t wanna be here’ glare is sending me
Gift for @sprite-and-the-bunnydragons !! The second I read about bunny Ravio I just... I HAD to draw him. And with drawing one scene came another... And another...
Everyone, please go read Two Bunnies for the Price of One on ao3! It's really funny and I highly recommend it (and honestly any of her other fics)
@aaa-batteryy you can't be calling me out like this (skull emoji) I WAS JUST PLANNING A FIC TOO
these are my mutuals. they know who they are
Please. I don’t care if you thought my writing was trash. You can tell me everything’s out of character. The reason why I post stuff is for the vague sense of human connection. Spam me with questions about the fandom. Write an essay in the comments about how I’m wrong. Send an ask just geeking out about the fandom with me. I literally don’t care just saying anything will make my entire week.
Do y'all ever read a fic so good that it makes you want to elevate your own craft and also befriend the writer? It's almost like, "Hi! You write so well that you've inspired me to embark on a creative training arc. Also, can I yell about the character in your dms because you get it?"
