#I did them out of order anyway
Note
The Chain with a almost god like giant titan like Creature s/o reader.
Sorry that's a mouthful!
Like, they look human but are huge and have different kind of things about them that Hylians don't have. (Also,imagine the heros are so tiny compared to their s/o. Like Sky is like telling the Chain. But their in awe of the enormous creature that sky has been gushing about 10 times a hour.)
Please 🙏
Chain with an eldritch s/o. I dig it. Like that Eldritch Zelda that went around a while back.
It's going to be in headcanon form fyi. I hope that's ok!
Masterlist
Content under the cut!
Four
If you thought that a typical s/o for the smithy would have made him smaller....
He is dwarfed by comparison
Scorpion legs, mandibles, a spiked tail and as big as a house
Four proudly presents them to the group with the biggest flourished gesture he can do
“And I love them very much.” He says proudly.
The group is all silent
They click their mandibles in nervousness. “Um... So how do you do? Link has told me much about you all in his letters.”
Sky breaks out of it first. “We’re all alright. Four speaks about you a lot as well. e just weren’t anticipating you to be so-”
“Freaky?” They say quietly, causing Four to snap his head in their direction- words of rebuttal already on his tongue.
“Big.” Sky amends. “I was going to say big... Especially when he’s so...”
Four turns back to Sky with a glare. “Say it.”
Sky huff. “Look, Wind is taller than you. I thought it would have been someone I would have been able to look in the eye when you said they were bigger than you.”
Four splutters and tries to think of a comeback
It lessens to tension and Wild and Hyrule both step forward to introduce themselves
Time and Warrior give a small bow in respect
Wind run to try and climb on top of them
Twilight stops him before he can actually get away with it
Legend has been facepalming the entire time
His hand slides down his face slowly and he cuff Four by the side of his head. “When you say they get hungry easy it’s because you have mint on your porch. It keeps the spiders away-”
“Oh!” They perk up. “Is that why they don’t come by any more? I was wondering why it seemed like there were more bugs than usual. They’re not as filling.”
Legend gives Four a ‘I-Told-You-So’ look
Four says nothing
Hyrule
He had no problem with it!
“Hey guys! We’re about to meet the sweetest person in this entire planet. I can’t wait for you guys to see them.”
“Slow down Traveler.” Legend laughs. “We don’t know this place as well as you do- we might not be able to keep up.”
“Honey?” A voice speaks. It’s quiet and surreal- like multiple voices speaking at once. “Is that you?”
Traveler beams. “It’s me! I’m home! Come meet my friends!”
They step out. Multiple eyes blink slowly and feathered hands come in front of them in a nervous manner. They are giant.
Legend pauses. Where would he have seen this creature before? If he has anyway...
Sky smiles pleasantly and walks up slowly. “Hello there. Link’s told us a lot about you.”
Hyrule coughs. He didn’t. He doesn’t know why Sky is lying.
Time steps forward as well. “Good to meet you. I was wondering who was taking good care of him back home.”
Hyrule flushes. This isn’t what he was expecting.
“You know what...” Wild sighs. “I can’t even say I’m surprised. Call me Wild. We’re all friends of your Link.”
They smile. “Yes... My Link... Has he been behaving himself?”
Four nods. “Yup! He’s been a great help to all of us.”
Wind and Warrior both come up next to the hero in question and clap him on the shoulders. “We adore him.”
His partner smiles gently. “We share the same sentiment then.”
Twilight hasn’t said much but he stares at Hyrule with the stare of a thousand suns.
Hyrule clears his throat and tries to ease his embarrassment. “My home is nearby. We can all go there before the storm hits.”
They nod and reach their hand out.
Hyrule takes it without hesitation.
“Let’s go then.”
Legend
Legend was a bit nervous to introduce his s/o
They were huge
With multiple arms and multiple pairs of eyes
But they were so cute
Ignoring they were twice the size of a hinox
His hinox’ anyway
Wild’s are the largest he’s ever seen
Twilight sighs exasperatedly
“Spiders again”
Legend bites his lip
Wild and Four stare, wide eyed, jaw agape and say nothing
Hyrule is instead staring at Legend and Legend doesn’t know what to make of it
Time bites the bullet and holds out his hand
Warrior and Wild follow suit without question
They all shakes hands at the same time
“Hello” They say
Sky waves with a smile
“Thank you for looking after Link.” They say softly
Legend blushes and playfully swipes at them, only annoyed at the surface
“Hey-!... I can take care of myself. ...You know that.”
“Hmm... I feel better... knowing you’re not alone anymore.”
Everyone jumps on to let them know everything is ok
Legend sighs in relief
That... went a bit better than he thought it would
Sky
A bit nervous
But mostly because he doesn’t want anyone to say anything mean
If they do, he’s throwing hands
He’s done it before he’ll do it again
“Ok, Beloved... You can come out now.” He says softly.
They step out in all their ethereal glory
There’s the size of the two story house with wings and glowing silver eyes
There’s red and blue markings on their face
Time is getting flashbacks
Warrior is also having flashbacks
Twilight is watching Time and Warrior with interest
Wild and Legend share and look
Sudden dread and uncertainty over take them
Hyrule marches right up and sticks his hand out. “Hi.”
They smiles and shake it. “How do you do?”
Wind tilts his head. “How do you do what?”
Four shrugs and also goes to introduce himself. “Sky won’t shut up about you. You’re just as impressive as he said.”
They actually flush a little and look away. “He’s always talked a bit more than he knows what to do with. I’m sure he exaggerated a lot of things.”
Legend coughs. “I’d argue he understated a lot of things.”
Sky deadpans. “Gee, I wonder why.”
They laugh like church bells. “I can see why Link likes you all so much. Would you like a tour?”
Time
No longer cares about other people’s opinion
It’s not the boys believed him in other thing that he’s told them
So he’s kept this one close to his chest
He opens the doors to his home where you’re waiting in the living room
Time has also long given up on asking how you fit through the door
Four’s and Wild’s jaws hang wide open
Twilight actually trips over himself and falls backwards
This explains some things...but now he just has more questions
Like.. why the third eye? or the wings? and scales? and clubbed tail?
“Uh... Old Man...?”
“Oh it’s you! My boy!” They cry. “I know my babies where ever they are! I didn’t think you were serious dear!”
Time takes offense
“I told you. Of all things, this is the one you don’t believe?”
Cue Sky and Warrior looking between Twilight and Time, putting the pieces together but only becoming more confused in the process.
Legend sighs and flops in on himself.
“This might as well happen.”
Hyrule slaps him over the head
Sky bite his lip and waves a bit
He chuckles a bit out of nervousness
“We’ve heard... about you..”
“Have you?” They lean in
“Technically?”
They laugh
“It’s ok. Link doesn’t want any undue harm to come my way. He’s very protective like that. Come in! Come in! I’ll make some tea.”
Twilight
Just like how he was nervous to show his form as Wolfie, he’s actively trying to lighten the blow when the group meets his s/o
“Ok, so just so you guys know, they’re... bigger than normal... and may not be what you’re expecting.”
“Should we be scared?” Legend raises an eyebrow.
Twilight winces. “Well I would rather you not be. It would be a bit rude even if you can’t help it.”
Time puts his hand hand on Twilight’s shoulder. “If they’re important to you, we’ll be on our best behavior. Isn’t that right boys?”
Wild grins and gives a salute.
Warrior smirks and nods.
“Who’s important to Link?” A new voice says.
All heads snap in that direction
Large antlers and fangs, scales and tethers and a few feathers coat their body
Wind and Sky stare wide eyed
Hyrule blinks and punches Legend
“Oh my..” They say
“Pleasure to meet you!” Four gathers his wits first, hand already out to shake. “Your Link has talked a lot about you. All good things.”
They flush in a way that looks abnormal. “Oh... Oh my goodness- Ok. He always does this. I’m sorry if I’m not exactly what you were expecting.”
“Nothing could have prepared us for this.” Legend blurts
Hyrule glares at him
Legend flinches away
Twilight coughs. “Guy this is __”
They wave. “...Nice to meet you.”
Time bites his lip for a moment, letting it process before he gestures to Wild. “We brought lunch if you’re willing to join us.”
“Well that sounds lovely!”
Warrior
Warrior was practically avoiding it
Like bits and pieces, he would reveal
But never about their physical appearance
So when They finally appear with antlers, wings, and fur
Warrior waits with baited breath
Time sends Warrior a knowing look that he knows he’ll pay for later
Wild is the first to say something as he eagerly introduces himself
Twilight follows suit with Wind right on his metaphorical tail
Hyrule approaches hesitantly but is polite none the less
Sky stays a bit behind as Time goes in to say hello again
Four and Legend feel like they’re seen weirder and Warrior speaks well of them enough
“Hello again Little one.” They say patting Time on the head
“Not so little anymore.”
“Still little to me.”
“So how did you and Warrior meet?” Legend cocks a hip, eyebrow raised and all.
They smile, showing their multiple canines. “He shot me.”
“I told you, I’m sorry!” Warrior groans. “That’s not exactly what happened anyway.”
They giggle. “They call you Warrior now? I wasn’t aware your war merits carried over through time.”
“It’s... not that necessarily.” He blushes.
“He’s also called the Captain.” Wind raises his hand, thinking that it would to catch their attention.
“...Strange... That’s not his position here.”
“HO-KAY! Introductions are over! Who wants lunch?” Warrior yells louder than he needs to.
His S/O is going to embarrass him badly before he leaves
That’s the plan
Wild
He sees nothing with it
He doesn’t even think that it would register as strange to the others
“Link?” They call out. “Oh Link you’re back! Thank goodness you’re alright!”
Wild perks up and snaps his head in the direction of the voice.
He runs to them
The others pause and watch
They come out and pick Wild up as if he was only a bag of grapes
“Oh , I was so worried about you! Have you been taking care of yourself like you promise? I thought you would have been away for longer.”
Wild laugh and kisses them on their nose. “I’ve been just fine. I want you to meet my new friends.”
Twilight coughs and catches their attention. He waves.
“Oh!” Their second pair of arms comes up to cover their mouth. “Oh how rude of me. How do you do?”
Legend blinks. “How do you do what?”
They giggle. It sounds like thunder and their tail flickers playfully behind them.
They set Wild down. “How are you?”
“Fantastic, all things considered.” Warrior has to crane his neck up just to look at their face. “How did you and Champion meet?”
“Oh that’s a long story-”
“Let’s go in side first.” Wild interjects, a wide smile on his face. “I can start lunch and we can all get comfortable in the living room, yeah?”
Time seems amused, if a bit perplex. “Of course, Cub. Lead the way.”
“Cub?” They turn to Wild. “That’s precious.”
“Let’s gooo...” Wild coughs. His cheeks are a but pink.
From the looks of Four, Hyrule and Wind.... they’re never going to let him live that down.
Wind
(Not really s/o... more like best friend... maybe when they’re older but as it stands-)
Wind was going to blow their mind
His surprise is probably going to get him serious street cred
He was going to introduce them to every one and he was going to get all their reactions saved in his pictobox!
Wind stands in front of everyone, pictobox ready and tells you to come say hi
Longer than normal arms, thirty fingers, sunken eyes and moss for hair- and tall
Wind snaps the picture of his buddies
They’re going to love this later on
They already giggle and wave
Wild, Hyrule and Legend numbly wave back
“Hello!” You grin.
Time sits down
Wind grins as well and jumps onto their arm
He climbs up
“This is my friend! The one I was telling you guys about!” He says proudly. “Aren’t they cool?”
“...Very cool Sailor...” Warrior cranes his head up.
“Um.... So... how have you been?” Four tries for normal conversation.
He tries the old friend approach.
“Oh you knooww~~ Burrowing in the sand, taking in the sun, dragging sailors underwater, having tea parties with the locals. Same old, same old.”
“What was that one you just said?”
“Taking in the sun?”
“After that.”
“The tea parties? Oh! We should have one! I was about to have lunch anyway. Why don’t you call come over? Since you’re friends with Link, we can be friends too.”
Twilight smiles tensely. “...Sure... We’d love to.”

Take a walk in the woods with me?🍂
~~
Copy-pasta-ing my last post-script bc I'm lazy:
Not to be a wannabe influencer, but I really wanted to let y'all know that Shovava, the creators of these gorgeous wing shawls, is having an insane 50% off sale rn. I adore these shawls so dang much, they're my signature clothing item, but they're usually pretty pricey! If you want a great deal on them, and support an indie artist, now's your chance!
This one's the Samsara shawl in cotton🍂
Use my referral code YUKIPRI86469 on the Shovava site for 20% off orders over $85! YES it's combinable with their sale!!!
#YukiPri selfie#shovava#wings#woods#fall aesthetic#cottagecore#fashion#i guess??#sorry for the spam of me but I like how these turned out ok#i think i did pretty well for first time photographing myself via tripod and i'm working on those photo editing skills#it's actually hilarious bc in order to get the shawl to billow out nicely i'm basically spinning in circles#rapidly clicking my bluetooth camera shutter clicker thing in hopes i'll catch one decent shot out of several dozen#since idk what shots i got until after i dizzily stumble back to tripod#anyway it wasn't a crowded trail or anything but occasionally some people passed by#imagine them seeing this crazy person spinning around while all alone in the middle of the trail#who apologies and stumbles out of the way upon noticing other people

so a while ago I did a drawing of Anisa w/ the intention of doing something similar for the rest of the Starsworn, but I got uh. sidetracked. for two years. anyway by the time I got back to it I didn't love the original anymore, and it didn't fit w/ what I had in mind for the others, so I redid it! finally.
(I lost the original post when I switched to a sideblog and I'm too lazy to go looking for it but the og drawing is under the cut!)
I still like some parts of the old version but the new one is closer to what I was going for! this was also before I read the wiki and saw the Q+A post w/ everyone's elements
so I also made some changes based on that ✨
#fictif#last legacy#anisa anka#I'm NOT making the mistake I did last time the others are done#(or mostly done)#but I'm posting them in a Specific Order for a Specific Reason#because I'm annoying <3#I do plan on spacing them out so I don't clog up the tag tho#apple.png#also now that I'm thinking about it#did we ever get to see the 6th relic??#iirc the 5th was gramme's but I don't remember if there was another#hm. anyway.

thinking about moon knight having marc call steven the best superpower he's ever had during a really emotional moment and how that show handled DID better than just about any piece of media I've ever seen and. I'm sobbing actually. they equated his neurodivergence with being the greatest part of him after marc had spent so long trying to hide his DID out of shame. and maybe that sounds like bordering on glorification but it really wasn't. because they made it so obvious that what marc meant was that steven kept him ALIVE and that's the most he could ever ask for and anyway. whatever whatever it's fine
#moon knight#an extremely rare not daredevil post from me wowzers#that moment just really meant a lot ESPECIALLY#because i watched that show AS IT WAS COMING OUT#and waiting a WEEK to find out if they were about to make the ending of the episode before that one ableist as FUCK#only to see them do THAT??#taking the implication that in order for marc to be whole he had to get rid of steven at the end on one ep#and turning it into marc rejecting the field of reeds because he felt like it was impossible to be content without steven in the next ep#and then having him say THAT???#ill sob#fully sob#anyway#marc spector#steven grant#im aware the way they handled DID wasn't at all perfect. like the bar is LOW for DID rep. but they still did a decent job

I wish the anime hadn't cut this part out. It really highlights how afo presented himself as a savior to those who felt lost during the dawn of quirks which was how he was able to get such a huge following.
we see him do that during present day too as we see how he exploits those, particularly children, who society forgot about by taking them in and caring for them so they'll remain grateful and loyal to him.
#something something about a41 presenting himself as a messiah I'll get into that in an ask#a41 did so well during the dawn of quirks because there were so many lost people who were looking for someone to bring order#which he then took advantage of#a41 works best when dealing with those who have nowhere to go and are struggling as they're easy for him to exploit#and a41 knows exactly how it feels to be forgotten by society and left to fend for himself with no hope so he just tells them what he wante#to hear as a kid so they'll latch onto him#tbh I wouldn't be surprised if machia had some sad meow meow backstory that caused him to fall for a41 so hard#anyways the point is it sucks the anime took this part out#don't even get me started about how they removed his coat when he was walking among his followers either 😑

if you think that Flint is in love with Silver is that really shipping or is that just media literacy
#okay I feel like an argument could be made either way re: whether flint is in love or not#but I also feel like there is enough evidence for that it’s just. it’s textual. he’s in love#silver on the other hand. I don’t think he’s in love with flint#I think he could’ve been. but I think#okay okay my opinions on romance are nuanced and I have to explain them to really get into this#people say that you can’t choose in relation to whom you fall in love#I say that’s half true#you can’t choose in relation to whom you form a connection#but whether that connection can be nurtured to love? that is a choice#in order to fall in love you have to let yourself. sometimes this is subconscious.#sometimes it feels like it isn’t a choice because you can’t remember choosing it#but the thing about love is it’s not a single choice. it’s a series of choices made again and again and again#and I think flint and silver had that connection. and I think flint chose to nurture that to love. and silver did not#*romantic love. that is. I would not argue that silver doesn’t love flint#but not in the same way. you know#damn check out that tags essay. anyway#this has been a post#black sails

#BG3 Musing#BG3 Fanmix#Halsin BG3#Halsin#Halsin Posting#my fanmix#i give up this is about as done as it will ever be - i've been talking about this enough i need to get it away from me#i could have made at least one or two other playlists with the number of songs i cut from this#there were some things that hurt me to cut but i figured others had them in their playlists so they're out there#(the impossible dream you will always be famous i am so sorry :(()#i had three goals with this 1. make it more of a timeline in that it follows a narrative order (which hopefully is easy enough to follow)#(it makes sense to me about as much as it is ever going to lol)#2. try to avoid using songs that other individuals have used in their playlists (with a handful of exceptions - i highly encourage you also#take a listen to the others around! lots of good stuff and i figured if you were missing it from this one you can find another with it)#(and if i did use one the context might be different#'closer here is being used in a different way than i usually see it - it's putting more emphasis on the 'you can have my isolation' bit use#in context of the matron and patron for example)#and 3. focus as much as possible on non-romance path elements of halsin's character - i.e. again that's a topic that is highly explored#in other fanmixes to great success - this one is about the childhood he references and the adventures and the capture in the underdark#and the shadow curse and the burying of people he loved and the uptaking of the archdruid position and the healing he did#and possibly did not do#and the radicalization he comes into when his goals are met and he's faced with injustices#and the struggle he has of redefining himself and figuring out who he is after all of it#hopefully the 'eras' are clearly defined but hey it's all gravy from here#honestly if there is one song to listen to that encapsulates halsin for me it's tapestry - highly recommend that#anyway i am blabbing - let the lyrics and such talk for themselves jemi please#but if fanmixes aren't your speed have a kinda nice edit i guess#edit: now with bonus song i just had to add after shamefully forgetting it

#Fall Out Boy#So Much for (2our) dust#So I actually had a lot of fun at this show despite my friends and I's less-than-stellar seats#It was a good setlist and a fun time and they did some awesome numbers despite Patrick (by his own admission) being drugged up on Dayquil#But as a lowkey MANIA defender them playing NO MANIA songs was really funny to me#I of course know their setlist varies from city to city but if they played Church I would've thrown myself into the crowd from section 217#They busted out the piano once and I was like 'oh okay they'll do Last of the-- NOPE it was a cover of Don't Stop Me Now#Anyway it was a joy overall and they played Disloyal Order of Water Buffalos so really that's all that matters#Seta Speaks#Seta memes#This is the most time I've ever spent on a meme that's going to get <15 notes lol

I got these shoes from someone recently but thought they were way too plain looking, so I set out on a quest to customize them with some sharpies and charms and miscellaneous ribbon I had in my craft drawers. Mostly sky themed (clouds, rainbows, rain, stars, etc.) because that's my favorite aesthetic, but I had to include some cat imagery as well, of course lol.
#also honestly had NO IDEA that real converse have that star logo on the INSIDE not the outer part??? why the hell would you want it on the#inner portion where nobody can see it?? my entire life I always would have sworn it was on the outer facing portion..#I think these would be perfect IF they were just slightly taller (top part higher above ankles instead of just weird hard material digging#right into your ankle whenever you walk) and if they were actual good platforms. they're so short. It's good that 'chunky' shoes are gettin#more popular as they've always been my favorite Look ever since I had these shoes with roller skates that pop out of thebottom (not heelys.#but like. before those. it was two whole entire roller skate wheels like a normal pair of roller skates) and the bottoms were so tall and#clunky and it made my feet look giant (because it had.. entire wheels in the bottom pockets lol). so#I've alwatys been into the aesthetic but . still I find a lot of the 'brands jumping on trend' are too short of platforms#OR they're plafrorms with a raised back/heel/wedge which to me is not aesthetically good and also makes them exceptionally uncomfortable to#wear compared to just plain completely flat chunky platform bottoms. ANYWAY.. if these shoes had a 3 or 4 inch platform I think they'd be#cooler. however for what they are it's still fine! and I like them more now that they actually have some sort of anything to them and#aren't just plain white. The weird thing is that the material it's made out of (maybe some sort of leather or something) absorbs sharpie?#the color changes over time. You draw a mark and then leave it for a few days and it either fades into being barely there or has changed#colors. so I had to go back in and redo parts. ALSO the shoe chains are so funny because I did NOT have the right tools for them#I don't have the stuff to make bracelets or open and close the little rings. they're held onto the shoe with just safety pins and the actua#little rung things that hold the charms on half of them are like broken or the metal is just jam smushed together bent and warped hhbjhjhb#I actually like the back a lot where there's the irridecent star thing hot glued on there. it's cool and shiny. and the clouds#are sparkly on the main parts of the shoe though I'm not sure how well it shows up in pictures#ANYWAY... shoegs..... If I were rich this is one of the things I would definitely custom order from craftsman#why would I spend like thousands of dollars on plain ass shoes that are just expensive because they're a Luxury Brand when I could literall#like pay people to create me custom shoes to my exact specifications?? I could have like 5 inch flat platform boots with fur andclouds#and cat shaped holes in the bottom with LEDs in them with pom pom and charms and etc. etc. etc. Like as gaudy and excessively over#decorated as I want lol.. AND they could have skates in the bottom somehow!! ghjgbhjb#this on top of all the custom wizard costumes and period clothing I would order.. Like i LOVE customizing things.

I just find it mind-boggling that some people will reblog things like “Anakin didn’t care about Rex and his men, he wouldn’t listen to Fives just because he was friends with Palpatine” and then in the next post be gushing over Rexwalker/Rexanidala like???? so you agree. Anakin does care about Rex?
#some people will literally hate on either Anakin or the Jedi council for reasons that explicitly contradict the point of the prequels#and then YOU'RE either toxically positive or condoning abuse for liking all the characters and having a nuanced view of things#the takes I mentioned in the body of this post literally wiped out the fact that Palpatine groomed and manipulated him for Years just so-#-they could say “wow the clones didn’t deserve what that horrible guy Anakin did to them”#me: okay. so you’re saying they didn’t deserve for him to show kindness and friendship and help reinforce the mindset of individuality they#-already had and that the majority of jedi encouraged because they are a group who treasure individuality and have compassion on everyone &#-all things???#Anakin could be a shit person but he wasn’t to the clones and I will die on this hill#“he enslaved them” you’re pinning that on ANAKIN. a literal former slave. not the Republic or the Kaminoans?#he would have 0 reason to enslave them because he knows what that’s like. he’s been through that#why. WHY do people blame Anakin or the Jedi for 100% of everything going wrong instead of Palpatine.#you can blame Anakin for the choices he made and the Jedi Order for the oversights and legalism they started to have during the war#but enslavement of the clones??? not listening to Fives because of Palpatine???#if you want to blame Anakin for the clones being slaves you have to blame the rest of the Jedi too#and we all know how rare it is for ‘Anakin antis’ to also be ‘Jedi order antis’#quotation because there is a certain connotation and generalisation that comes with those phrases these days#I just don’t understand why Anakin is to blame for that specifically. blame him for being angry and violent and obsessive and turning to th#dark side logic+morals be damned to save one person yes but slavery??? he didn’t know about the chips and if he did you bet your ass he-#-would hate them just as much as the slave monitors on Tatooine#anyway#I want to see both sides of the debate i really do because some people have really good points on character motivations etc#but it’s getting ridiculous at this point. I always try to be a calm and positive space but some of y’all’s takes are contradictory bullshi#Fandom salt#swift talks#Swift rambles in the tags#vent#Jedi positive#meta#ish?#jedi positivity

hmmmm having angsty Lights Out thoughts
#i know when i post about it i usually make it Lighthearted if not outright Memey#but oh boy. this au is dark. like - like beyond the literal meaning#imagine being abandoned by your creators without so much as a warning#one day the lights go out and thats it. no answers. no comfort. no friendly faces or explanation#show's over. curtains closed. doors locked. they're all gone#it's just waiting in a pitch black room because surely the lights will turn back on. the next day will come#but it Won't. the next day won't come. it will never come. your friends won't open their eyes again. it's just you now.#you've always had company - friends and the comfort of feeling Watched Over by something beyond your understanding#but you blinked and its gone now. it's just you. no matter what you try or what you do - its. just. you.#days and weeks and moths and years of silence and a complete lack of color#burning matches down to your fingertips just to remember what shade of yellow your fleece is#its still wrong. firelight stains the color.#slowly forgetting the sound of your friends voices and what their smiles looked like and what the memories you made with them were#what was your best friends favorite joke? what was his hotdog order? how did he laugh? he used to pose for your paintings didnt he?#you can't be sure anymore. maybe the neighborhood was always dead. maybe You're dead. how can you tell?#you don't breathe. they don't either. they used to didn't they? you never did but they used to. ...right? you hope their dreams are sweet#one of your friends starts sleepwalking. you're so happy. she hurts you. you know she didnt mean it. you're scared anyway.#you can only see with one eye now. it feels... Wrong. all of your chalk drawings start coming out wrong too.#you keep missing when you reach for things. just one more thing to adjust to#were the lights ever on? or was that your own dream? you thought that was something you couldnt do.#you also thought the lights always come back. you were wrong about that. what else are you wrong about?#wh lights out au#wailing sobbing screaming etc over lights out wally... this poor little 12 apples dude...#aimlessly wandering through the town... walking through the buildings....#eventually getting so fucking lonely and desperate that you keep your best friend's severed arm for comfort#all you can do is protect your eternally sleeping friends from the Things crawling out of the shadows#mark another tally on the ground for each full circle the town clock's short hand completes#and wait for the day you fall asleep and join your friends dreams. it will happen someday.#you can feel it in the pitch seeping from your eyes and mouth. more with each decade that passes#just a little while longer. some more waiting. just you. in the dark.

Alright uninformed rant time. It kind of bugs me that, when studying the Middle Ages, specifically in western Europe, it doesn’t seem to be a pre-requisite that you have to take some kind of “Basics of Mediaeval Catholic Doctrine in Everyday Practise” class.
Obviously you can’t cover everything- we don’t necessarily need to understand the ins and outs of obscure theological arguments (just as your average mediaeval churchgoer probably didn’t need to), or the inner workings of the Great Schism(s), nor how apparently simple theological disputes could be influenced by political and social factors, and of course the Official Line From The Vatican has changed over the centuries (which is why I’ve seen even modern Catholics getting mixed up about something that happened eight centuries ago). And naturally there are going to be misconceptions no matter how much you try to clarify things for people, and regional/class/temporal variations on how people’s actual everyday beliefs were influenced by the church’s rules.
But it would help if historians studying the Middle Ages, especially western Christendom, were all given a broadly similar training in a) what the official doctrine was at various points on certain important issues and b) how this might translate to what the average layman believed. Because it feels like you’re supposed to pick that up as you go along and even where there are books on the subject they’re not always entirely reliable either (for example, people citing books about how things worked specifically in England to apply to the whole of Europe) and you can’t ask a book a question if you’re confused about any particular point.
I mean I don’t expect to be spoonfed but somehow I don’t think that I’m supposed to accumulate a half-assed religious education from, say, a 15th century nobleman who was probably more interested in translating chivalric romances and rebelling against the Crown than religion; an angry 16th century Protestant; a 12th century nun from some forgotten valley in the Alps; some footnotes spread out over half a dozen modern political histories of Scotland; and an episode of ‘In Our Time’ from 2009.
But equally if you’re not a specialist in church history or theology, I’m not sure that it’s necessary to probe the murky depths of every minor theological point ever, and once you’ve started where does it end?
Anyway this entirely uninformed rant brought to you by my encounter with a sixteenth century bishop who was supposedly writing a completely orthodox book to re-evangelise his flock and tempt them away from Protestantism, but who described the baptismal rite in a way that sounds decidedly sketchy, if not heretical. And rather than being able to engage with the text properly and get what I needed from it, I was instead left sitting there like:
And frankly I didn’t have the time to go down the rabbit hole that would inevitably open up if I tried to find out
#This is a problem which is magnified in Britain I think as we also have to deal with the Hangover from Protestantism#As seen even in some folk who were raised Catholic but still imbibed certain ideas about the Middle Ages from culturally Protestant schools#And it isn't helped when we're hit with all these popular history tv documentaries#If I have to see one more person whose speciality is writing sensational paperbacks about Henry VIII's court#Being asked to explain for the British public What The Pope Thought I shall scream#Which is not even getting into some of England's super special common law get out clauses#Though having recently listened to some stuff in French I'm beginning to think misconceptions are not limited to Great Britain#Anyway I did take some realy interesting classes at uni on things like marriage and religious orders and so on#But it was definitely patchy and I definitely do not have a good handle on how it all basically hung together#As evidenced by the fact that I've probably made a tonne of mistakes in this post#Books aren't entirely helpful though because you can't ask them questions and sometimes the author is just plain wrong#I mean I will take book recommendations but they are not entirely helpful; and we also haven't all read the same stuff#So one person's idea of what the basics of being baptised involved are going to radically differ from another's based on what they read#Which if you are primarily a political historian interested in the Hundred Years' War doesn't seem important eonugh to quibble over#But it would help if everyone was given some kind of similar introductory training and then they could probe further if needed/wanted#So that one historian's elementary mistake about baptism doesn't affect generations of specialists in the Hundred Years' War#Because they have enough basic knowledge to know that they can just discount that tiny irrelevant bit#This is why seminars are important folks you get to ASK QUESTIONS AND FIGURE OUT BITS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND#And as I say there is a bit of a habit in this country of producing books about say religion in mediaeval England#And then you're expected to work out for yourself which bits you can extrapolate and assume were true outwith England#Or France or Scotland or wherever it may be though the English and the French are particularly bad for assuming#that whatever was true for them was obviously true for everyone else so why should they specify that they're only talking about France#Alright rant over#Beginning to come to the conclusion that nobody knows how Christianity works but would like certain historians to stop pretending they do#Edit: I sort of made up the examples of the historical people who gave me my religious education above#But I'm now enamoured with the idea of who actually did give me my weird ideas about mediaeval Catholicism#Who were my historical godparents so to speak#Do I have an idea of mediaeval religion that was jointly shaped by some professor from the 1970s and a 6th century saint?#Does Cardinal Campeggio know he's responsible for some much later human being's catechism?#Fake examples again but I'm going to be thinking about that today

Headcannon: After Wayne Manor is ruined, Duke picks up gardening to try and preserve Alfred’s roses.
Doug helps out and they replant them in a community garden by their apartment in the Narrows. They spend hours researching and have to completely dig up the old soil and put in new ones just so anything will grow. It’s not the most glamorous considering these roses descended from Martha Wayne’s Private Greenhouse, but Duke hopes Alfred wouldn’t mind too much. After all, this is where he found his Robins.
And yeah, maybe the Nest was a bit of a creep, but he had done more for Duke than anyone else had before that. Did the same for Bruce and the rest when he honestly should have retired a long time ago. Saved the city and saved every Batman and every kid in Robin red more times than anyone can ever truly count, asking nothing in return.
And Duke can’t quite communicate it, but his parents have done their best to accept that he’s changed. So Doug runs off in the middle of a hurricane to cover the plants and Elaine stops by on her way to work when they need just an extra bit of sun. And Duke… well he’s gotten used to hard work over these past few months, but there’s something different between punching criminals and pulling weeds, so he tries his best and he sweats and wonders how an old man managed this on his own for so long.
He doesn’t get any answers, but he does gets rosebuds.
Maybe there’s a satisfaction in that, in laboring to make everything the best it can be, so something beautiful will bloom. Maybe that’s why Alfred stuck around.
Maybe these flowers’ll be corrupted by Darryl or Ivy or the city itself, another acid buttonhole. Maybe no one will stop by their garden, no time to see what they’ve grown. Maybe all his hard work will just wilt away, unable to survive in such harsh conditions.
Or maybe they’ll be beautiful, and Alfred will be able to see them from wherever he is, and know that someone misses him.
Because rest his soul, Duke is not picking theatre to remember him by.
#leo says shit#batfam#duke thomas#elaine thomas#doug thomas#alfred pennyworth#context if you haven't read the comics:#alfred started the We Are Robin movement by recruiting various teens he thought would be good for the cause#alf used multiple disguises to hide his identity but the Robins collectively called him “the Nest”#the Nest introduced the kids to each other and gave them resources and the information to direct their action#eventually Duke and the others got fed up with Nest's vague orders and decided to work on their own before Duke made them break up#but anyways Duke did figure out that Nest was alfred pennyworth before he got fostered by bruce#probably because he had already figured out the rest of the bats identities but i digress

#mega latios#okay hi my WHOLE queue has just gotten WAAAYYY out of order. i was actually just queuing up the box legendaries for gen 3 when i#was talking about their primal forms and realized that EVEN THOUGH I LITERALLY MENTIONED MEGA LATI TWINS IN THEIR TAGS i fucking forgot to#queue them up so i'm doing that NOW after queuing up kyogre but not groudon and neither primal#it's like. fucked. but i'll get them all in seamlessly to you all so you won't notice a thing. anyway this is identical to mega latias#so i'll do slightly different angles for both of them so that they look different. i think this one will actually come second#so these tags will seem redundant when we get there. just know that i did this one first :) big smiles :).
