Okay so I wrote a thing (like I said I would) it’s really short but here you go:

In a nutshell it’s just some random, dumb banter about why Shadow looks like a weird creature-guy. Enjoy!

“What purpose do those serve?” Vio asked.

Shadow squinted over from his perch on an old, leather couch, an ear dipped in confusion. “Huh? What serves what?”

Vio gestured to Shadow’s hands and face. “Your teeth, they’re far sharper than any Hylian I've seen. Your fingernails too, they look like claws. Why is that?” He asked passively, genuinely curious.

Shadow’s face scrunched up further, as if he hadn’t even thought about it himself.

“Y’know, I don’t actually know. I have no idea.” He held out his hands and curled his upper lip, exposing his fangs. Vio still instinctually found the sight unsettling, despite having been around Shadow for several days now.

His teeth were sharp and predatory, and if Vio was honest, they looked like they belonged more in the mouth of a fox. He shuddered.

Shadow rolled his jaw and grinned mischievously, curling his fingers over the arm of the couch he was draped over. “Maybe I’m, like, half-monster?” He continued, his smile turning into a grimace. “These claws are real fuckin’ annoying though. They get stuck on everything. I can barely put a tunic on without ripping it apart.”

Vio hadn’t considered that. Though, now he thinks about it, it makes a lot of sense. “Sounds troubling. Have you ever done that before?” He prompted.

Shadow’s toothy grin was back again in full force. “Yep. I’ve nearly tore this one, too.”

He sat up and held out an arm, pointing to his sleeve. Vio could see a handful of loose strands in the white fabric, dangling from his wrist like cobwebs.

“See that? They get caught on the threads and yank them out. Drives me crazy”. Shadow growled, shaking his wrist to emphasize his point.

Vio thought for a moment, before making a tentative offering.

“I brought a bag with me to the Fire Temple, I should have several spare undertunics in there if I were to look. Perhaps you’d like to borrow one?”

Shadow grinned widely and nodded eagerly, it seemed genuine.

For once, Vio didn’t even need to force himself to smile back.

#Four swords #shadow link #vio link #four swords manga #Vidow #vio x shadow #I mean you can interpret this as platonic (if you’re a coward) but that ain’t what i wrote it as lmao #IM KIDDING you can do what you want #my writing #Consider this warmup/practise i have no idea what i am doing #I’m getting real ambitious here but if i end up making longer on es i might start posting em to AO3 perhaps #Might make art for this little scene at some point too cause i’m really bored rn

Timeline things

I figured out how to fit the BS games into the timeline!

In order to incorporate all the heroes for this AU, the TC timeline will be split up so that “every time someone time travels and makes significant changes in that time, a new timeline split is created” (so going back in time to complete the Temple of Time in Twilight Princess wouldn’t cause a new timeline for instance). Basically this rule means that a timeline is created where the person DID travel through time and a timeline where the person LEFT and life continues on without that person, as if they just vanished into thin air. It is much more confusing than Nintendo's timeline but bare with me

This creates 4 main timeline splits

when Impa travels back and forth to aid Zelda in Skyward Sword

when Zelda sends Link back to his childhood in Ocarina of Time (we already know this one)

when Veran possesses Nayru to travel between the ages in Oracle of Ages

when Zelda travels back in time in the memories in Tears of the Kingdom

(technically Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition doesn't combine or split the timelines but rather makes the timelines super unstable since Cia brought people to her time rather than traveled herself, more on that later)

Skyward Sword

When Impa travels back and forth in time to help guide Zelda (Destiny) as Hylia's reincarnation, she inadvertently brings Ghirahim with her and starts the events of Skyward Sword as we know it. This is known as the Master Sword timeline because Link (Chosen) ends up upgrading the white goddess sword into the master sword.

However, this means Impa leaves a timeline where she didn't time travel in the first place known as the Goddess Sword timeline. In that timeline, Destiny is not kidnapped by Ghirahim but does end up being drawn to the power of the triforce on the surface. Chosen and Groose try to help her but Chosen doesn't find the goddess sword and Groose (the first ancestor of the Gerudo) ends up sacrificing himself to help defend them. Destiny somehow ends up barely sealing Demise but without Impa's guidance, she accidentally fuses the pieces of the triforce into one singular artifact known as the light force. The hylians of Skyloft still descend to found the settlement of Hyrule but some creatures (who later become the Minish) stay in the sky and discover the untouched goddess sword.

Demise's monster army is still scouring the surface as Hyrule is being founded. So in the Age of the Minish that follows, the small race descend from the sky and bring the light force and the goddess sword (referred to as the Picori Blade) to the hylians to help defeat the monsters. The light force only responds to the new princess (Power) due to her goddess bloodline. The hero of men (Mighty) wields the Picori blade and seals the monsters of Demise into the Bound Chest, thus creating the legends in the intro sequence of the Minish Cap. The Picori Blade goes on to become the Four Sword in the events of Minish Cap. Based on this, the Goddess Sword timeline contains the Four Swords trilogy (Minish Cap, Four Swords, FSA) while the rest of the games exist in the Master Sword timeline.

Ocarina of Time

We already know how the adult timeline and child timeline split. The downfall timeline is also basically the same in concept. When Young Link tries to wield the Master Sword, there's a timeline where he doesn't travel forward in time or get aged up into Adult Link. Thus, Young Link is not strong enough to defeat Ganondorf and dies during their fight.

The Adult timeline contains The Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Hyrule Warriors.

The Child timeline contains Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, Link's Crossbow Training, the Age of the Sheikah (first Calamity), and Breath of the Wild.

The Downfall timeline contains ALTTP, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, and Link's Awakening.

Oracle of Ages

In OOA, the Twinrova send Veran to possess Nayru and use her time powers to go back in time to light the flame of sorrow while Legend uses the Harp of Ages to collect the Essences to stop them. But by doing so, there is a timeline that Veran-Nayru leaves and Legend is able to defeat the Twinrova prematurely, without the flame of sorrow lit to resurrect Ganon. In that battle, as a last ditch effort, the Twinrova curse Legend with horrible sorrow before they are defeated. This causes him to carry this innate sorrow in his heart that is subtle at first and slowly grows over time but Legend is none-the-wiser and sails home.

When Legend is sailing home, he goes on the adventure in Link's Awakening. But because of his growing sorrow, he can't bear the thought of saying goodbye to Koholint or waking the Wind Fish, so he chooses to stay there and live in that dream world forever. This is known as the Dream timeline.

In the Dream timeline, it's unknown if Legend is alive or if he died at sea or is in a weird state of Schrödinger’s limbo. In Legend's absence, the monsters of his time return six years later and two young children Star and Sun are forced to take up the mantle. They do not have the hero's spirit (Legend holds it) but are endowed with the light of the goddess, going on to become the heroes of light in BS Ancient Stone Tablets. These two heroes also go on a very fast-paced adventure many years later in BS The Legend of Zelda.

The other timeline where Legend successfully completes OOA and Link's Awakening in canon is called the Reality Timeline. In the Reality timeline, Legend returns home successfully and can defeat the monsters that return with ease. Many years later, Legend's successor Clover does ALBW and then travels to Hytopia to become one of the Triforce Heroes with two other Links nicknamed Ember and Aqua. In the Reality timeline, Hyrule enters an era of peace for many years until the Era of Decline, when Fay becomes the hero of TLOZ and the Adventures of Link.

Tears of the Kingdom

When Zelda goes back in time in the beginning of TOTK, she creates a timeline where she becomes the light dragon and lives for over 10,000 years (which is the canon of BOTW and TOTK) known as the Light Dragon timeline. The young pre-Calamity Zelda would notice the dragon during her childhood and feel strangely drawn to the creature, she ends up pulling herself away from her Sheikah research sometimes to spend time trying to catch a glimpse or study ancient legends about dragons and Zonai. The events of BOTW and TOTK occur normally in this LD timeline.

In the timeline where she doesn't become the LD, Zelda solely focuses on Sheikah research and experiments with ancient relics, even re-activating a strange mini-Guardian she names Terrako. This is known as the Terrako timeline because when the Calamity hits, Terrako goes back in time to prevent the death of the Champions in HW: Age of Calamity (technically creating 3 timelines because Terrako time travels too but we're going to pretend it works out for now until another game comes out)

Hyrule Warriors

Normally, Hyrule Warriors is the game that connects all the OOT timelines because of Cia opening up the time-space portals between the eras, allowing for Breath of the Wild to come after. However in this timeline, BOTW occurs in the child timeline with Twilight Princess, which is why the past heroes mentioned in the Subdued Ceremony memory are “skyward bound, adrift in time, or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight”

Meanwhile, I put HW after Spirit Tracks when New Hyrule is founded and a new royal army is formed. Purely based on vibes in all honestly.

Instead of 'merging the timelines,' HW creates cracks and instability between the timelines, accounting for weird inconsistencies between eras like Majora's mask in Link's house in ALBW or a small subsect of the Zora evolving into Rito without the flood in the Child Timeline. Maybe that’s also how the TC heroes manage to meet up across time hehe

Although, there’s a particularly strong connection between the downfall timeline and the goddess sword timeline. Namely, the palace of the four sword can be found in ALTTP while Ganon and the dark world find themselves in FSA (since with Groose’s death, the Gerudo, and Ganon by extension, cease to exist). I like to think their worlds are unstable already due to their status as ‘failed’ timelines in a sense and messing with the hero’s spirit (fracturing it into 4 with FS and the weird limbo Legend gets into in the BS games). So to compensate for their unstable states, they start to bond together and share pieces from their world like electrons to form some semblance of stability and strength.

This was just supposed to be about accounting for the BS games but all this timeline talk kinda got away from me and became an essay, it’s fun to think about though!

#I like the idea that the heroes have to find the portals in each realm rather than portals just showing up whenever #make them work for it #maybe they have to identify the points of instability in every Hyrule #to find the monsters and move on to the next world #giving them a bit more agency in when they leave and giving them time to recover from battle #we shall see #honestly I always thought the four swords trilogy didn’t make sense in the main timeline #mostly cause it was made by different people but whatever #so I fixed it in my own way #by making the timeline worse mwahaha #twin chains #tc au #loz #timeline theory #loz timeline #I like to think in one timeline link gets to be with marin #but the world goes to shit without him #but he’s none the wiser #i made a timeline image but can't figure out how to upload it #if anyone wants to see lmk

jon crazy girl moments

#he’s so good at emotional-rage-induced attempted murder #someone get this kid a stress ball and some old glassware to smash in a dumpster #jonposting #asoiaf #jon snow #but on serious meta mode: one of the reasons i love his flaming sword dream in adwd #cause at this point he is much more ‘subdued’ than he was just a year ago. but he still does have a lot of anger it’s just internalized #and being redirected towards a purpose now (anger at the other night’s watchman who don’t grasp how important it is to help the free folk)#but his sword dream is like… his uncontrollable impulsive rage from book 1 being directed at the people he’s lost and had to watch die #like a manifestion his intrusive thought of wishing benjen dead in the snow #‘i AM the lord of winterfell!’ he’s still angry he’s still emotional he’s still selfish #i need to write a whole thing about jon internalized vs externalized anger… cause i have Thoughts

A couple various Magolor outfits (Clash cause I realized I only had half finished sketches of that outfit and also Yukari Yakumo from Touhou cosplay for fun) and also Oh hey yeah that thing!

Ummm let’s see, words are hard right now but I should probably give my explaining myself spiel and I’ve already been putting off this post for like a month and a half. Clash outfit was fairly self-evident; I thought it looked good with the red added (apple colors hehe) and I of course couldn’t resist throwing some classic lolita in there. Unlike his usual outfit there’s not space for his wings to stretch out in the back bc Clash is like. Theoretically it’s chill but they’ve got a lotta post-traumatic stress/paranoia/insecurity that morphs into weird tension with the main gang back in the usual universe and then doesn’t fully start getting resolved until after Star Allies (I have other sketches of this outfit - and just other Magolor doodles in general; particularly I’ve been trying to figure out digitigrade leg posing - but I don’t feel like posting them here so I guess you can find them at um. Kirby live radio wiki community feed)

Yukari outfit I had the idea for cause I was thinking abt qi lolita again. Not much to say aside from I figured out why they don’t ever give her the parasol with this dress; it is a distressing amount of light pink to deal with and between that and the pose and parasol shape I sweated my way through most of this piece lol

Aaand Magolor Epilogue a.k.a. self-recognition through the other (derogatory) ….. TWO!! I had the idea for Master Crown boss to bear an uncanny resemblance to 2nd phase Magolor/Magolor Soul a long time ago but like. Turns out it was scarily close already; I just had to add a head and a couple fingers.

Ok that’s it see you in a half hour byeee

#art #digital #kirby #magolor #master crown #kirby gijinka #Magolor epilogue spoilers #implied body horror #by which I mean like. if you combine the images of Magolor soul and master crown tree the eye mouth is kinda freaky but it’s also just tree #I was not satisfied with like particularly the legs (and also the bonus sketches) on the clash drawing so I put off posting for a whiiiiile #currently I’m hung up on Marx gijinka (again) and also theoretically I should design post-canon default outfits for Mags and Elfilin #but it’s tricky cause I don’t have much to go on (for the outfits)#I would like to do Marx and Kirby gijinka (for interactions’ sake) but the problem I’m facing with those is #I don’t have a personal spin on them to work from at the moment so I’m indecisive and don’t wanna just take from other’ designs too much #oh ya also I still wanna do a Magolor tree boss fight ultra sword painting at some point but I have no background for reference #cause the camera would be the opposite direction from the ingame camera #story wise been thinking about his legs but don’t have any concrete stuff yet #also given that this is like. genderqueer agab reclamation trans allegory or whatever I think I can mention that I had that idea that #before he came up with Magolor his name was Magpie #thanks to that one random fic that got his name wrong as a throwaway joke that meant everything to me #fun magpie facts: their scientific name (of the Eurasian magpie at least) is pica pica yes like pikachu’s cry #the name magpie is a shortening of ‘Maggie pie’ because Europe was going through a weird bird names phase a few centuries ago #(and I was already calling him Maggie lol)#and magpies are the only birds to ever pass the mirror self-awareness test #also they don’t prefer shiny things that’s just a myth #thematically relevant one though. folks you ever get so obsessed with a magical crown that it gets obsessed with you back

You know, I don't think it would have been very difficult to have S19 be what it will be, and keep S15-17 canon. (S18 still gets cut, if what I read about it was true [since i've only seen the first three episodes])

Like the way I see it, they could start off 19 with the Staff of Charon fight... but like say in the corner, 6 months ago, or however long it would be. They have the epic fight, they win, the Meta suit goes inert and there's some sadness finding out Church is fully gone, then they party to celebrate the planets freedom... then we jump to present day. That's literally how they set up seasons 9 and 10 There could be some kind of background chatter or bullshit banter going on about how Tucker not begin able to find the Meta helmet because he used the suit to fool the cyclopes. (During this fight he distinctly said "Man I wish I had my other suit!") Grif could find out what the message from Locus was that he never opened to read. They could find out what was going down on Chorus that the Luttenits alluded to. Maybe something weird with comm signals on Chorus? Maybe people are going missing? Maybe reports of minor crime? What if Locus was saying he intercepted a message about some Pirates who raided Iris while everyone was gone? Explains why The Meta helmet is missing. All of these minor background lead ins. And then the main start up of the season, main conflict, things progress. But you know what would be truly a Divergence of Expectations? That this new Meta, has now become the personal foe of all of Red Team, because not only did those three toss him off a cliff with a fucking car attached, but also because maybe, just maybe, it's not Tucker under that gear. Maybe it's someone who has a personal vendetta against Tucker and Simmons . . . being as it was those two who blew him off the platform into the abyss.

I'd like to live in a simpler world where i can just find the physical manifestation of my social anxiety and hit it with a sword until it disappears forever

#vent #<- i think this applies #i want to talk with people and join rp groups and make more friends and be able to do group assignments #and not all of the issues i have that make those things hard are social anxiety exactly but having less social anxiety would certainly help!#okay to reblog #i mean id probably be able to learn to be better at communicating if i wasn't terrified of what could happen if i failed at it once #which is kind of ironic i guess #i tend to assume ive already failed before i start #and then get so overwhelmed by the thought of that failure that I can't start to try #but i guess the whole point of anxiety is that the fear is irrational #no matter how much i understand that the fear isn't right and its causing problems that doesn't just make it disappear #so it would be nice if i could just make it disappear. by hitting it with a sword a bunch #actually wait im going to draw that

i feel like sailor moon fandom sanitizes usagi way too much. like her whole point (in the anime at least) is that she's a massive unhinged mess who causes really big issues but is ultimately kind

#they make her such a stereotypical 'girl character' it makes me want to scream #she's loud!! she's annoying!! she's gross!! she causes problems just cause sometimes!! she's impulsive!!#she's really unapologetic about her sexuality (which is hilarious and not typical for girl characters)!!#she brags!! she can be petty and greedy and vain (for lack of better words) and it's relatable!!#but she also cares about everyone!! she's a healer and wants to understand and help others!!#she never wants anyone to die!! not even the villains!!#she really effortlessly funny all the time and is true to her feelings #a lot of her “bad points” actually end up being one half of a double edged sword that has a “good point” on the other #people are complex and flawed and sailor moon's message is that we have to communicate and be tolerant of each other to live a happy life!!#i don't want perfect dainty entirely competent usagi!! ever!! she doesn't demonstrate that idea well at all😭😭#sailor moon #tsukino usagi #usagi tsukino #rant in tags #long tags

Okay so, a while back I saw a TikTok that showed someone making a sword out of empty pill bottles. Which I thought was super cool.

So being the; mentally ill, highly medicated, running off of spite, ambition, and the incredible urge to try-and-make-something-if-I think-it's-cool-no-matter-if-I-have-prior-experience-in-the-medium-or-doing-shit-like-that type of person that I am decided: Why the fuck not, would be fun considering I have nothing but time and It would cut down on the amount of plastic my family recycles. How hard could it be?

So, first off I had to gather a fuck ton of pill bottles. So I told my mom and brother about this and basically told them "if you have any empty pill bottles don't throw them out, give them to me, I wanna do something with them." So I basically ended up with a gallon sized Ziploc bag filled with various types of pill bottles.

After I had taken the labels off of all of them and cleaned both the inside and outside thoroughly with Dawn Dishsoap(including the caps). I planned how it would roughly look but I'm going to skip showing that and instead just show some in progress photos and the finished results!

Building the sword hilt and attaching pieces with masking tape just to get a rough shape for the sword here.

After building the handle and figuring out where I want the hand guard to go.

So here is when it was still in construction but I wanted it to be able to come apart to save space. that way if I; want to bring it to a con, or I need to move it I wouldn't have to worry about the blade snapping in half, I can just break it down and chuck it in a backpack or something If I need to.

Here's the finished results

(yes I know it's not perfectly straight, I've tried going back and fixing it but I would basically have to take apart the entire blade... And I'm not doing that so sue me.)

Moutian Dew can for reference because It was what I had closet to me at the time(I was drinking it) and my water bottle was across the room lol. I was being lazy.

#artists on tumblr #is this more of a sculpture or just me making shit with pill bottles?#uh anyway Pill bottle sword! pill bottle sword!#I made a pill bottle knife and im thinking about (possibly) making a sheild cause #my god i got a metric ton of pill bottles to go through #starting to think i kept way to much #cause by this point ive got like 3 gallon bags of them but i only have 1 bag in my room.#its just one bag i keep refilling and adding more into.
