*saloon doors burst open, i stumble in, eyes wild and frothing at the mouth* hey what if i make bellumbeck a sort of metaphor for linebeck transitioning between just lingering in survival mode and really processing and moving on from his trauma

#does this make sense. one mutual likely knows what specifically spawned this idea #like. i imagine link just has ptsd while linebeck has c-ptsd and im not sure what the difference in recovery is #if there even is one #like i think link def had some time after ww to decompress and he was with a support system and was able to get some processing done #while linebeck has spent like. most of his life in survival mode and has done some light processing but hasnt actually been able to really #move on and stuff until after ph. like he talks with oshus its basically therapy and airs everything out n is essentially prepared to reall #process and bellumbeck kinda just smacks him across the face with his trauma and forces him to speedrun that processing #like ive said i like bellumbeck being a weird catharsis it ends up helping him move forward it forcibly breaks down some walls #its added to that trauma pile ofc but he processes it like immediately so dw hes on track #uhhhh.#salty talks #linebeck #bellumbeck #phantom hourglass #loz #legend of zelda #anyways. i did some writing thats nice #is this how metaphors work
