all I wanted was to save them... (ID in alt)

I salivate at the thought of skinning you alive

oh good, I thought I'd been left out. [for context to the reader, this is a reference to this post (I hope)]

On the spectrum from crocodile to passerine, I can only hope that human would be closer to crocodile, but not so close to be quite as tiring.

listen idk how many people can relate to this but i can't stop thinking abt. f/os that are touchy without even realizing it.

like !!! they always have an arm slung around your shoulder , or a hand placed on your back , or sometimes their fingers will barely graze over you because your presence is just so magnetizing to them. whenever you sit next to them there's a slow shift as they lean into you, gradually, maybe snaking a hand over yours or settling their head against your arm ...

... but then the moment anyone calls attention to it they're confused. maybe they'll be hanging out with a colleague or you'll just bring it up in random conversation , but when someone points it out they have to pause and self-reflect. me ? touchy ?? what are you talking about. when did this happen. (as if they haven't been non-stop holding your hand for the past 30 minutes)

I've drawn Loop Goop before but not my actual capital h Headcanons so. Here's how Loop bleeds in my mind

random drawing I did

I took inspiration from something else but I don't remember who made the post I took inspiration from so :(

very sad still see the saria/silence divorce headcanon still going around

have you ever tried to consider that they never dated before lone trail because it would be unrealistic with the timeline and the events and also because it would be overshadowing the actual truth of why they couldn't get along

what i love about the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi of it all is that...it's not just that he's famous and therefore widely recognizable wherever he goes. like yes that is very funny because he was an exorcist before he became a famous actor, which means he CHOSE, on purpose, a day job that would make it harder to hide his double life/secret identity from the hordes of his adoring public, but it's more than that. it's not just that he's famous, it's that he's famous specifically for being an ACTOR, aka a person whose job it is to dissimulate, to make believe, to inhabit roles and emotions other than his own. like he decided he was going to become as visible as possible (which again was literally not necessary! he could have gone into any other career for his day job!!) but in such a way that everyone would see him but no one would see him - they would just see his various made-up personas, including the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi persona. i can't decide if he's a genius or if he just made so many absurd decisions that they canceled each other out and circled back around to working out. he's either playing 9-dimensional chess or he's eating the pieces. too soon to say.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A ROUGH OUTLINE AND AN INTEREST CHECK.

Hey guys, remember this idea I had some months ago?

I'm aware there's already a couple of LoZ cookbook fanzines out there (specifically these two based on BotW and on TotK), but as far as I understand, these both focus on re-creating recipes and presenting fanart. (They look gorgeous btw and you should totally check them out!!)

Link's Cookbook is somewhat more diverse, in that it's essentially Link and Zelda's travel journal. It's where Link scribbles down recipes while on the road, and Zelda later tries to parse and correct his spelling. It's where Zelda sketches the world around them — everything from scientific studies of bumblebees to scenic views from a hilltop. It's where they keep track of encounters and incidents of varying importance.

It is, for all intents and purposes, a scrapbook of their experiences in the months and years between BotW and TotK as they get re-acquainted and together rebuild Hyrule.

To break it down, it would essentially consist of:

Recipes inspired by the recipes in BotW and TotK

As a loose guideline, grab a recipe from one of the games and explain how to make it in real life using real life food items.

Example: Cheesy Tomato (recipe from TotK). It's described as 'a simple dish of Hylian tomato topped with delicious Hateno cheese'. (Source | Image). In-game, you need Hylian Tomato and Hateno Cheese to make this.

Based on the illustration, a real life adaptation might suggest using cherry tomatoes, Edam cheese, black pitted olives as the main components, then add a drizzle of olive oil, some black pepper, and fresh basil leaves for flavour and garnish. Who knows, you could even suggest lightly roasting the tomatoes with a teaspoon of honey to really bring out their flavour!

Vaguely connected short stories about Link and Zelda, set in the time period between BotW and TotK, related to the recipes

Depending on how many would like to participate in this, there's a few ways of doing this: (1) people sign up specifically to write short stories; (2) the writers of the recipes either (2.1) draft ideas while working on the recipes and pass them on to short story writers to finish, or (2.2) the recipe writers also write short stories to go with their recipes; (3) or a single person is tasked with tying everything together with short stories.

(No I'm not overthinking this.)

Fanart related to the recipes

Study time! Y'know when you're taking an arts class and you have to do a charcoal sketch of an apple and a banana in very dramatic lighting? That's the vibe we're going for here. Use all the colours you like, but ultimately we're aiming for sketchbook art to really complete the overall journal vibe of the zine.

So yeah! If you're interested, drop your name, discord contact, and what you'd like to contribute with in the Google form right here by the 31st of January!

You know, for a show with so many female characters that so many of us love given how they all get time in the spotlight one way or another and they fill that time up rather wonderfully since they are deeper and more developed than what we're used to seeing in general media, it is peculiar (to say the least) to see so few "alternative" ships to the main one.

I'm not saying the canon ship doesn't deserve its attention -- I'm wondering instead why the canon ship and it alone seem to guide the WN fans who just so happen to enjoy writing/reading fic or fanart or whatever.

You'd think all these cool women would inspire more ships or combinations thereof, but those of us who aren't invested in avatrice just... Float along, around one another, ignored (and, yes, mostly undisturbed too; being unpopular does have its advantages and that includes a lot less weirdos leaving you strange or awkward messages -- it does not, however, shield us from people flooding our goddamn tags on AO3 with fic that has nothing to do with our little ships and I do wish such negligence of the pairing itself meant we didn't have to deal with this spam...)

I am also not saying that fandom activity should be based solely on shipping (and recently someone on Reddit was rather confused by the fact that a lot of it is, which is quite an interesting topic to discuss in itself -- after all, there is more to fan creativity than shippy fic... Or there used to be), merely that, here, it appears that a canon relationship can outshine interest in the other, non-canon ones. It's already there and it was doubtless well-done by the show, so it's natural that it should claim people's attention, sure. It's just that being canon was never the parameter for whether people were interested in these or those two (or more) characters maybe being involved and trying to explore what that could mean through fanwork.

There has always been a complaint haunting fandom spaces concerning the minuscule amounts of f/f fic, art, discussion, w/e based on how few (interesting or sympathetic or relatable) female characters there are in media at large. So what I'm curious about is why fan creations made around WN -- a show that finally gives us a whole cast of female characters that are what we have been craving for decades -- don't also reflect its diversity.

There are alternative ships (I'm here, all happy in my tiny Doctor Superion bubble, and I know there are Camila/Lilith, Ava/Lilith, Mary/Shannon, Mary/Lilith shippers out there, so a warm hello to you if you're reading this), but go on AO3 and compare the numbers of things tagged with these proper pairings to the grand total of WN stories. Better (or worse) still, do so with the "otp: true" trick or simply by excluding avatrice from the search to see how many are left.

It's... A considerable difference. And a mystery, at least to me.

"Found out" set in kind of a made-up chapter where the girls are in trouble, or something.

i'm curious what's your deal breaker team when it comes to following sports blogs on here? like the person seems the coolest, funniest, sweetest, with correct opinions, supports another team you love, just someone you'd definitely wanna follow... but the thought of seeing so much of that team on your dash even if you can blacklist it and try to avoid it as much as possible is just too much?

What physical part(s) of Arsay does her partners find the most attractive! Is it the same for all partners or does it differ between them?

(also optional bonus ask of what part(s) of/about Arsay generally do they love the most, physical or not!)

Meanwhile, if you were to ask the same of Arsay:
