I love the sages shadow.. but having real companions would have been great

link, riju, and tulin are siblings while link, sidon, and yunobo are bros. does that make sense

So there is supposedly no TOTK DLC planned at this time and I'm... honestly very bummed about it. So many opportunities to fill in gaps in the story, give more detailed lore on the zonai and other barely explained elements, and to bring back beloved characters (like we ALL predicted Kass DLC?? Hello?? Wdym you just wrote him out of the game??). Like the game is HUGE and I can't say it needs DLC, given just how much we got. But I was desperately hoping at least some of the half assed world building could be salvaged by DLC.

I was replaying Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity a bit and thinking of how cool it would be if we got a Hyrule Warriors that incorporated TOTK, the Zonai and the beginning of Hyrule ... maybe there are time shift stones (like from Skyward Sword) or [some other convenient time travel excuse] where Link too can go back into the past and interact with things or something? idk it would just be fun

Honest question- you're against proshippers, but you ship SidLink, and I'm confused? Link is 17 (canon fact) regardless of how long he was asleep, and Sidon has been actively living for 135 years. There is huge imbalance in so many ways and it's technically underage. Also proship is literally just not harassing people over fiction, you can hate tropes all you want. Would you block a proship that followed even if they didn't do anything but reblog art?

1. Yea im against proshippers.

2. In all of the art ive made with sidlink, and really ANY queer art I have made, I rarely draw anyone who is not over 18. My sidlink fancomic is set several years after the calamity, meaning that Link is well past 18 yrs old. So no, I dont draw him in any context where hes 17. An odd assumption to make that Sidon is like “grooming” him even tho Link knew him 100 years ago when he was a guppy. An odd assumption in general to assume art made by an adult to be playing into weird age/power dynamics really, just because there may be an age difference between two adult characters (who in my art, clearly consent to courting each other and who recognize each other as mutual beings deserving of respect). Do you want to go around to every other sidlink artist or fanfic writer now or what? Because there are genuine weirdos in the sidlink fandom, but of course you send me this message like some sort of “gotcha!”

3. I dont care what proship is to you, but I dont go around harrassing people to explain the art they make when they clearly depict adults, nor do I defend weird shit like extreme age dynamics (teen and adult, child and teen), nor do i defend media with problematic material that clearly has it just for the traumaporn or shock factor. I DO believe fiction affects reality because we have evidence from centuries of racism how written word and racist characters have affected our perceptions of BIPOC communities.

4. I would block a proship if I knew they were, but I have 20,000 followers and far too many notifications to check every blog that follows me. Ive been blocking porn bots for days and I dont care to check peoples blogs. I cant control if someone proship follows me, and I honestly cannot really care, but dont expect to feel welcomed on my blog because I refuse to align myself with a community that has 100% no media literacy skills. Are you proship and WANT to follow me??? Because it sounds like you are. Like dude feel free, i clearly cannot control you, but again, Im not proship and I have been against it for years now.

This may have been the weirdest ask ive ever gotten but whatever. You annoyed me enough to answer it.

I have gotten bored yet again and I have chosen to draw all the video game men I simp for.

Why do almost all of them have similar bang syndrome, like this isn't funny anymore-

LEON, GHIRAHIM, META KNIGHT AND GARRY HAVE THE SAME BANGS AS EACHOTHER.

LINHARDT AND SECCOM MASADA ALSO HAVE THE SAME BANGS-

WHY DO MOST MEN I AM INTO HAVE CURTAIN BANGS????? (Yes, that's what those bangs are called, even if it's asymmetrical curtain bangs.)

Also extra question: WHY THE FUCK do I simp for more non-human beings? (Netzach, Meta Knight, Link [Hylians are canonically not considered human], Ghirahim, Sidon, Fukase, MoonJumper [he's barely visible but he's there], and Seccom Masada.)

I also apparently found out Garry's name is spelt more often with two R's even though I always thought it was one.

I wish to question what my tastes in men are, and a lot appear to be twinks and twinks, both make me pathetic and are hard to find in real life.

I find it even crazier that most of these bastards I have the headcannon that they're gay, and one of them LITERALLY IS GAY IN CANNON.

I also find it funny how I literally have the color of the rainbow in here except for someone who's primary hair color is orange.

You know, nobody actually appreciates Sidon as a character. Because of his big physique and attractive look, he’s only focused on being shipped with Link and all that stuff so no one ever talks about his actual character and his story.

Sidon lost his sister when he was a child, and he took her ideals to heart, being a great leader, protecting his people, and being kind just like she was. He loved and looked up to his sister, and when she told him to watch over the Zora people it she were gone, you can tell that he took that very seriously. Not to mention how awesome he is? He was swallowed by an octorok and broke out by stabbing the inside repeatedly??? He’s an awesome character who has a lot of depth that people kinda forget about cuz they gotta get that smutty ship art in :/

I’ve got a lot to say about totk both good and bad that I’ll get to later once I’ve fully completed the game

but I will say I’m glad they’ve given us how Zora ages work

can not believe Sidon is middle aged

trying to think which zelda npcs i think are the hottest. this is tough

All the Champions’ demises at the Blights’ hands are tragic, but Mipha’s is forever the one that fucks me up the most when we play BotW because out of the group she is the only one that, one hundred years after the Calamity, should not be dead.

By the time that the game is taking place, Urbosa, Revali, and Daruk would have passed of old age even if things had gone right. But Mipha would still be in her early prime. Not even Queen of the Zora yet! Now that’s not to say her death is more compelling simply because she had a longer possible lifespan ahead of her. All of our companions were taken unjustly, too soon. No, what destroys me about her story every time is that…

Mipha has living family and friends.

The others are celebrated among their people, but only the Zora explicitly have citizens who personally remember their Champion. While Daruk has an entire mountain carved in his likeness, Revali has many admirers among the Rito, and Urbosa’s people speak her name with reverence, Mipha is still actively mourned. By people who knew and loved her.

Her now elderly teachers, who remain angry over her untimely loss. Her young-adult peers who recall playing with her and Link as kids. Sidon, who still wears the whistle he had as a child and who, after you complete the Vah Ruta mission, never tears himself from the plaza before his sister’s statue. King Dorephan, who asks Link about Mipha’s fate, because even after a century, he never fully gave up hope that she might be trapped, but alive.

Mipha should not be dead, but she is, and her death remains a fresh wound.

And she knows it, too. And that’s why, even when her spirit is freed, unlike with the others her story has such an air of melancholy amid the eventual triumph. She looks down upon the Domain from atop Vah Ruta, and…

“Father…are you well, I wonder? I want you to know... I have always followed my heart. I'm sorry I made you worry... I wish I could see you again... Even just once more..."

She could be there. With her father, with her little brother who is so big now, and who is trying so so hard to be like his sister. But she’s not. And she is terribly missed in a way that’s unique among the Champions.

God, it just rips my heart to pieces.

sidon but awkward lanky teenager

still not yet grown into his head fin and big adult teef. he'll get there eventually

All the unique Zora... or mostly unique as the black one from the right is Khira and her pallet swap is Chroma, but the files were still marked NPC and not UMii so yeah... unique Sidon head does not fit into the mask. the model has separate head model when he wears the mask that hides big portions of his head X"D (Also will he grow as large as Dorephan? there might be something about rulers of Zora that make them grow larger than typical Zora, as Muzu is still normal adult size and Dorephan? that's a big boy) Once again past champion is smaller that others. She is still a teen Zora then.

My headcanon is that Zora growth is different from Hylian. The proportions change for a time until some early teen years and then they just grow bigger. So Adult Mipha would look same as teen, but closer in hight to Chroma or Yona OH also YONA! She is older that Sidon right? Probably still younger that Mipha but still, older that Sidon... nice. (I like Yona, she is cute and they make nice pair with Sidon <3) One more thing. I like Dorephan costume so much more in TotK, but Sidon got sillier in TotK X"D

So basically Prince Sidon became my new comfort character recently and i couldn't rly grasp why I love him so much until right now.

From the very beginning something about the way his character is portrayed felt very fresh and interesting, and today i realized it's about genuineness.

This guy is so unapologetically supportive and genuine. He never does this thing where someone says something and then catches themselves like "oh that was cheesy". And i really don't see enough of that, especially in adult characters. In kids, sometimes. But almost never in adults.

I feel like at some point having very sarcastic and/or cynical characters, with "realistic" view on life was seriously a novel concept. But i guess the market has saturated. So in times where most of the media presented to us is dark and "realistic" (aka very depressing and cruel), having someone unironically say stuff like this:

(especially when the character themselves is presented as very masculine overall)

is really amazing and refreshing. And it's no surprise to me that he's so well loved. He deserves it.
