#All the other links got so much more!
Text
Given how utterly stoic and immovable botw link is, I imagine totk will go much the same way in terms of his animation and idles. But wouldn't it be the funniest thing if, in a single cutscene, they just went all in for no reason.
Link just stands there like you'd expect for all of two seconds before his eyes refocus and he flips his hair over his shoulder and sighs. Pulls out his slate and start fiddling with it in the middle of a plot important conversation. Plucks an apple from nowhere and just goes to town. Twirls his hair around his long talons and sticks his tongue out behind someone's back.
Just something completely out of character for no given reason.
#This is inspired by replaying previous games and watching animation analysis videos#And like for a game so detailed and overprepared for anything link literally has nothing to do#Idles typically happen after like 20s or smth and then there's a huge variety of things you can do#Link takes over a minute to do anything and that's the most basic shoulder roll and then back to statue#In the memories! Everyone around him is animated so lively! They move their eyebrows! They gesture and fumble and look around!#Link never so much as thins his lips#Or scowls#There is that final scene in age of calamity when they go all in and make a Full Expression and it looks really jarring lol#Even then they didn't quite convey any emotion especially because he went right back to Behaving after#Seriously for such a brimming game it's kinda eerie just how little he emotes#All the other links got so much more!#Oot link yelped and covered his face and fell over and glared#Tp link scowled and smiled and nodded and had his evil little smirk when midna was sassing their enemies and tried to bite people's faces#Wind waker link didn't look calm for a minute!#And then botw link..... No idea what's going on in there#loz#legend of zelda#loz link#botw#Totk#Idk it's weird#Anyway that's why I think proper animation would be so funny lol

Thinking about how Link trembled before Mipha's statue in Breath of the Wild as he remembered who she was to him, and how his heart must have ached in Tears of the Kingdom when he saw her again in the beautiful court built in her name.
#he must have been FURIOUS seeing the sludge in the court#as well as /sidon/ of all zora having to clean it up#as if the disrespect towards mipha's memory wasn't enough#tloz#loz#legend of zelda#mipha#link#miphlink#<< can be taken as romantic or platonic#imo he cared about her a lot more than he let on#because even though he put all his energy into being a picture of strength for others#he still allowed mipha to heal his wounds#he still let her see him at his most vulnerable#when he could have just been “i'm fine” and pushed her away#also ignoring nuances canon literally describes him to have been the childhood friend of most if not all zora from mipha's generation#INCLUDING MIPHA#the fact they remember him so well is a testament to his character and how much he must have loved them#ANYWAYS. this post got carried away i'll stop here

#anyways since i haven't been controversial on main in a long time#notice niall's promo : using his platform for fan engagement and just focussing on the music and making it drive and take off#like he's been teasing it for some time and then he got his industry friends to do some promo#and he can casually talk about kissing lewis capaldi or 1d or harry or louis or anyone#and how even though he has a quite long term girlfriend never once has that relationship been a focus of things#never once has his private life or any aspect of it been a focus of promo. or even his golf career as a matter of a fact#the story is simple : he is releasing an album and he's gonna talk about music that's it#now notice harry or louis' album cycles : always focus on relationships and private lives and barely any talk about the music#or how to drive that music and make it the main aspect of promo cycle#you can argue that harry is a bigger name and people would care about his private life but like. b/w niall and louis clearly niall is more#known and still he never needs to speak about his relationships or personal lives#you can also look at literally any other artists album cycles : dua lipa. taylor. ariana. lizzo. beyonce. literally anyone#and none of their album cycles revolve around their relationships and private lives#which just goes to show just how much harry/louis' teams want to drive it into everyone's heads that they're straight. when they're not#even zayn!! yeah he's never really in the spotlight but none of his album cycles have revolved around his relationship#including mind of mine which as we all know came out when he was linked to both perrie and gigi#i just find it fascinating how these people came from the same band but their album cycles are so different.#niall's album promo cycle vs harry + louis' album promo cycle and the clear stark difference between them. fascinating

little bit of modern au (SPOILERS for the zelda game.)
#witch hat tag#orufrey#zelda totk spoilers#thus ends the orufrey playing on their switches saga. oh modern au...the place where everything is pretty much ok. Yes i have joycon drift.#hey literally why do ppl leave private replies on twt. not priv qrts. that's like..fine. Whatever. but priv replies...who r u talkin to.#once i posted a comic about writing that went REALLY far before i deleted it and got 400+ qrts and someone left a string of private replies#Yeah go off king. What is the point#what does it mean. what does it all mean. <- me at all times looking at the internet in my puter and understanding nothing and just leaving#i'm obsessed with how i said that qifrey doesnt really 'identify' with link so it's hard for him to play games like this#but he cooks food and sleeps as if things are real. Oh what a mysterious fellow...my darling..meanwhile once again oru plays normally#qifrey: I don't really know who zelda is so... sorry that happened to her...bye.. Oh my stomach must be rumbling by now!#if you haven't seen the other parts to this saga he ended up caring abt zelda because he pretended to himself that she is oru. Princess Oru#i play more like qifrey btw. totk was really good

one thing about me is that i’m an orestes-electra-pylades defender. if you don’t hear them being defended anymore that means i am deceased
#something something about them being linked forever#none of them being redeemable all of them being innocent#about this sister who was refused love all her life and who kept it all inside her to give it to her little brother#who loves him so much that the lines blur and we don't know if she's sister ; mother ; father ; or lover even#because who could love him more than she does ?#about this brother who grew up with nothing but rage#rage towards this man he was given to ; that man ready to sell him into slavery#rage towards his mother who got rid of him#rage even towards this father that he has to kill for despite never having known him#rage towards the gods who set up his own curse and let him suffer for a good long while#and apollo did not tell him that no holy ritual will ever truly wash all the blood from his hands#but despite all this rage has chosen to love#to love this sister that he only knew the name of#and who welcomed him with more warmth than three suns combined#who had more fight in her than him and who urged him to do them justice#that's why he did not really hesitate when he killed clytemnestra#because he had seen his sister - a princess - reduced to rags and is skin on bone#and about this friend who became the definition of devotion#who voluntarily chose to follow his friend whom he knew was damned#chose to share the burden of killing with him#and who followed him on every corner of the earth they went to#and i know those three took such gentle care of each other#i know that electra and pylades both refused to go to sleep while the other tends to orestes having his fits of delirium caused by erinyes#yes their hands are bloody#but it's the same blood that's running through their three hearts attached by a red string#and the red of blood looks a lot like the red of love#electre/oreste#classics

Forgot just how upsetting gloomed korok forest is
#idk. just this one sanctuary that was different from the rest in that all of these spirits only link and a few others#can see are offering you help and safety. care uniquely for you. a bed for YOU. YOUR sword. kept safe for 100 years for YOU.#thrown together shops just for YOU because nobody else goes here or even knows it exists.#and then you return and the people who cared so much about you dont even speak to you anymore#they cant speak. they just stand there#idk korok forest made me feel the most like i fucked up somehow#rito village was bad but still livable. if things got any worse then they would have to abandon home until it settled#but no one was in immediate life threatening danger#gerudo was really REALLY bad and people were in danger. just all crammed inside a bunker. no going into town because your#home doesnt belong to you anymore#and then the zora were ... idk felt the least pressing even though it definitely should be bc like. they breathe water.#if the water is gross theyll die. but idk something about how it was executed felt less terrible#maybe they outwardly expressed more hope? idk. same with the gorons didnt feel like there was a pressing threat#but korok forest is fucking AWFUL. god#idk. nobody in hyrule talks about it because they dont know there are people there. nobody else can see them so nobody knows#somethings wrong. with no lead into it finding korok forest the way it is just feels soooo much worse.#idk. on my first playthru i kind thought i fucked up and shouldve gotten there sooner.#it just feels like no matter what youre too late and its your fault

how to go from a one-shot/conversation spawned from thinking too much about an unseen father to more than a dozen fic ideas and an overarching narrative about family heritage (and the generational trauma that comes with it), the importance of communication, and how all lives touch other lives to create something anew and alive in one easy step
#pokemon#sir aaron#blood curse of sir aaron#no seriously this was supposed to be a one-shot with maybe ONE sequel. now there's 4 sequels and at least 7 directly related side stories#and three (3) fics that are more or less gonna serve as prequels/background for all my canons at this point when riley's involved#it was also only supposed to be one and then i had Ideas and did not stop them.#(benefit of setting things during legends arceus and promptly ignoring the actual protag)#i've only had the core idea rolling around my brain for 6 months and there's this many fics. prequel 1 came before but the others are newer#at least i'm not trying to write an entire game plot this time unlike my other big pokemon project#so much of the conflict could've been avoided with better communication. not all of it mind you but the big issues? yeah#at the very least they could've been handled a LOT sooner#<- series name for all this nonsense in case i wind up talking about it more here. will probably post links here once more is written#i've got a scattered 20k worth of it so far of actual fic and over 10k worth of notes. 2k of those notes are for a single episode rewrite#i know that might not sound like a lot to some people but only the first main fic is done. the third one is arceus chronicles.#im making. choices. that's for sure. and writing so much aura lore you have no idea#i might need to make a family tree soon

shut the fuck up i’m thinking about link and linebeck being foils to each other
#rubbing my autistic hands together thinking of ways to make them compliment and contrast each other beyond what is presented in canon#loz#legend of zelda#phantom hourglass#link#linebeck#ok but. linebeck is like the best foil to link that i think exists in canon even more than ravio. unless i got them autism blinders on#if so lmk i'll still be thinking about link and linebeck being rlly good foils#okokok listen. a lot of their traits (most of links are implied but hear me out) contrast and can make up for the others#like yeah yeah linebeck's traits are typically portrayed as negative but they could have their uses if link's are taken to an extreme#like ive been thinkin abt linebeck w/ low empathy and link w/ high empathy and how that can work#link being much more willing to help others but linebeck being more capable of being more level-headed about it all#also their designs are like. kind of opposite to each other its great why not take it further huh its fun to think abt#im no character designer but like. link drawn with more circles and round shapes and soft angles vs#using more triangles and harsher angles and harder shapes for linebeck. do you see my vision here#like genuinely if you expand more on their traits and skillsets you've got a good duo that could compliment each other rlly well#this is absolutely delving into fanon but like. linebeck exists in ph a lot of the time to be used to show how cool n shit link is#the reverse doesnt really happen which sucks but it absolutely could#salty talks#im not good with the more technical parts of writing i'll admit so i may be a little off abt how character foils work#but i am thinking abt it here. as someone who writes and thinks about these two in tandem a lot

which tarot card are you?
tagged by: plucked from my dash like a bug!
tagging: whoever would like to do this but hasn't done so yet!
link // the tower.
where is the line between awakening and self-destruction? is it thin? are you walking toward it? on it? already too far gone? there is nothing more disheartening than trying to find yourself, only to learn that you detest the person you've been looking for. can i tell you a secret? you are allowed to love yourself. required to, even. how can you go forward without it? make no mistake — it is not easy. but it is essential. you will get there, and it will be warm.
number: 16.
upright: sudden change, upheaval, chaos.
reversed: transformation, fear of change, averting disaster.
#* lionheart / study.#* intermission / ooc.#[head in hands over awakening and self-destruction being synonymous. oh my god. oh my GOD]#thinks about how link feels stuck in identities and feelings and /time periods/ that define the trajectory of (the rest of) his life#but not who he actually IS. and how he doesn't know what that even is because he wasn't who he thought he was before Everything Began#and now that he isn't explicitly; persistently; urgently TOLD who he is....well. how can he know? what-who is he beyond what everyone needs#him to be? and when discovering that involves so much disentangling and examination of the self that he constantly distracts himself from#with travelling -- how can he hope to seriously answer it!#AND THIS ISN'T EVEN ANYTHING NEW i know i hammer in these points whenever i can but they are always so relevant!!#he has such a complicated relationship with his title as the hero of ti.me!!#ngl it is why i think he'd be a little hesitant to take up a name like 'time' with other li.nks#at his stage of navigating life it is less a celebration of his achievement(s) and more a reminder of this is all you are (will be)#(also for someone who feels like he's at once stuck in it and burdened by it...alsfkjd leaves a bad taste in his mouth)#'masks' is hardly better for him because it's almost accusatory with what literal and metaphorical masks he wears to hide the self#that even he hasn't looked at super closely.....ALL THAT TO SAY#kid's got Issues. and i'm very happy with this result!!#long tags cw#* intermission / queue.

I'm ngl the longer it's been since I've played TOTK the less I like it I think
#do not get me wrong i think the game is fun to play and that was like 80% of where my concern lied#but godddd the story sucks so bad. i love the draconification bit with zelda but the rest. augh#why do we need Another ancient civilization literally appearing out of nowhere and infesting hyrule with its ruins#they got rid of all the sheikah stuff with literally no explanation to shove the zonai into the region#but why are we even focusing on the ancient civilizations again????#it would have made so much more sense to focus on hyrule in the present day. work with the npcs to make hyrule greater than it was#move on from the calamity and turn hyrule into a strong bustling country#the zonai were hinted at in botw but they feel so shoehorned in because they have nothing to do with anything in botw#i dont care about the secret stones we had champion abilities#i dont care about the sages the champion descendants had the champions to look up to#i dont care about rauru and sonia because sonia got fridged hard and rauru's character is flat. pleasant but flat#and i dont care at all about ganondorf because the most interesting thing he ever does is do the gmod face#its so frustrating watching the same 'woah secret stones! sages??' cutscene 4 times with Da New Sages and its so frustrating#watching the other characters speculate what happened to zelda and chase down her ghostly paper trail#when like. i can see her in the sky. she's over there guys#the memories were one of my favorite things in botw bc they all subtly stitched together the story of what happened#in totk they are incredibly plot dense and very linear and very confusing to watch out of order. which is easy to do#the one where sonia gets murked is like. the third memory i found#id at least be more interested in all the zonai stuff if link was the one to get teleported to the past while zelda has to try and save him#giving zelda agency. craziest thing they could have done#ok sorry this is a Lot of salt but just. raaaaagh#maybe my expectations were astronomical but outside of gameplay totk brings nothing good to the table imo#i'd significantly rather they made botw2 more gameplay focused where you can do something like make meaningful changes to the map#tarrey town style#than try to shove a whole different zelda game's plot into a carefully constructed preexisting world#i think the zonai story would be cool in its own game but not botw

Alright cool - Drabbles has a queue set up until like, April lol
#I guess that's what happens when I don't queue stuff up for half a year lol#I also updated the taglist so it should hopefully all line up once everything posts#I've still got MBD's to do - egh - but at least when that's done I can update the YT links#And hopefully by the time those post all the speedpaints will be done too! Hopefully hopfully#I was able to edit up a couple more the other day which is good 'cause it's getting awfully close to train tracks lol#Lucky break: A good small handful are gonna be start-from-blank sketches so that's neat#Backend stuff backend stuff#I doodled a small clip yesterday but not much finished :P One thing at a time!#I'm just glad this is done 'cause it's been on the backburner for waaaay too long#Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it a little better but I'm sure it's only a matter of time haahha#Too many moving pieces all jumbled in my head

mutt’s sketchbook. an observant boy, cataloguer of small details. very private about his hobby. it’s pretty much the only thing he has that’s not survival. keeps a sketchbook and pencils in his backpack. he mainly uses it to pass the time, and has nailed down and tweaked his style through hours of simply sketching people, animals, landscapes, and still lifes.
#katya m.inkina did all of these pictured#and i think i chose her sketches as mutt's art style because#it reminds me so much of this friend i had in middle school#shoutout to lauryn!#so without realizing it i gave mutt a similar style#the link! the link goes to the art section in his pinboard <3#i think i should mention his sketchbook and this talent in threads more....... :eyes:#hes just got like. ten million other things on his mind and#never shows these off to people but. but. if you catch him @ the right moment#and you're the right person#he might give you it to look at and flip thru#only if u promise to be careful with it#because the sketchbook has Seen Better Days#(get him new ones and all the pencils ever)#OKAY. SECOND TIMES A CHARM.#show up on the dash PLEASE#hc.

one more rant about my layoff in the tags and then i’ll shut up i promise
#my mom is telling me to apply for unemployment and i’m so overwhelmed even thinking abt it#the guy from payroll who so nicely told me about the layoff sent me a link for it like that’s the natural next step#but like i’m not planning on staying unemployed for more than like a week i’m planning on applying for another job in a few days#so i feel like it’s not even worth it but at the same time i do need money bc the timing of this was terrible#BUT idk if i’m even eligible for unemployment bc i have a second job#i’m on demand there so i only work like once every couple months but it’s still a job so i’m not technically unemployed yk#and i was going through the eligibility requirements online and i can’t find anything related to that one way or the other#i want to just say fuck it and not worry about it#but is that stupid bc i currently only have like one job in mind to apply for and i don’t even know if they’re hiring yet#i feel like i’m being dumb and picky bc i’m still in college so it’s not like it’s a career thing i just need a job for now#preferably retail bc that’s what i’ve always done and i’m extremely opposed to the idea of a serving job#anyway it shouldn’t really matter that much bc it’s gonna be temporary#but i’m not the type to change jobs often (i’ve only ever had 2 and they’re the one i got laid off from and the one i’m still on demand at)#so wherever i end up working i’m planning on staying for at least a couple years so i want it to be something i at least somewhat enjoy#it just sucks so much having to go through this whole process#bc i was planning on staying at this last job until i finished school and possibly longer#and now i don’t have that option bc they let me go with no warning and no explanation#and i loved that job so i’ve been extremely depressed ever since i got the call#which just makes the whole unemployment/applying for new jobs thing so much harder#and i wish i could stop whining about it but it’s literally all i can think about i’m just! so unhappy rn!#vent#lj.txt
