kind of expected that the ability breakdown wouldnt get that much traction (especially on twitter bc if it doesnt do well in the first few hours it might as well be dead) but what i didnt need to wake up to was looking at my twitter notifications and thinking there was a long comment on it at first but then i read it and it turned out to be some guy having dug up one of my old totk tweets where i talked about how zelda was treated-
and if a quote retweet with a thread attached already starts with "this entitled brat didnt understand that zelda was being a history nerd by being in the past and getting to experience it herself" with two screenshots attached of the end of totk with zelda staring at the cam all uwu (which has ??? to do with their point??) i dont even want to know what else was in that thread
if thats how the majority of the fandom is then im even less surprised that nintendy doesnt even have to try to write anything good :I
ah yes, i am a game nerd, and by putting me in a game where i stand around doing puppy dog eyes while being shoved around by NPCs is me being a game nerd OBVIOSULY

*banging my hands on the table* WE GOTTA PUT THE CATS IN THE ROYAL AU
(once again thank you to @jtl-fics for like, most of these ideas and for the scene at the end)
The kitchen has two cats that hang around regularly, who are both unofficially adopted by Andrew. He likes them simply because he’s a cat person as we all know, he likes giving them treats and scratches etc. Obviously this means Abram takes a liking to them as well
Andrew names one King, she’s not the brightest bulb in the toolbox but she’s real good at sniffing out mice so the kitchen staff like her. Andrew makes the distinction between her and his brother by calling them “King” and “human king” respectively. Aaron hates this. Mostly because when Andrew is talking about the cat he doesn’t care to specify that, and certainly not when talking to Abram or Aaron. Part of the joke straight up is to act like the cat is the real king. Which means that sometimes someone will overhear a bit of gossip or unfortunate news about “King”, straight from the prince’s mouth, in passing. The most memorable of those being the one time Andrew made a comment to Abram about King being pregnant again (“King’s rather been sleeping around, don’t you think?” “Surely it isn’t my place to say, prince. How many children do you think by now, though?” “Oh, a dozen, at the very least.”) and a passing gardener missed any and all context about it. I don’t know how it gets cleared up but Andrew doesn’t let it go for a very long time, it’s hilarious to everyone in the royal family’s circle because they all know how faithful and monogamous Aaron actually is. I guess hilarious to everyone but Aaron, sorry Your Majesty
Abram calls the other one Sir because of his temperament, Sir is very hissy. Instead of Aaron, though, Abram gets to torment Day. Day hates this cat’s name, he pretends to hate the cat, too, firstly because Abram is supposed to call him “sir” because of how far Day outranks him. Until now Day didn’t actually mind Abram using his name (better than Abram calling him “my Lord” or even being too scared to address him at all, which is how they started out) but then this cat comes along and Abram addresses it with the utmost respect and formality. Specifically when Day is around, just to piss him off. Secondly because then when there’s official people/dignitaries/etc around, like for meetings or summits, and Abram actually does have to use Day’s title? Day gets so confused because Abram is saying “sir” a lot, so that damn cat must be around, and there CANNOT be a cat in this room during this meeting
Abram goes “You’re looking a little pale, sir, perhaps you should step out for some fresh air?” And Day almost strangles him in front of their oversea trade partners
And lastly because sometimes Abram will do things like this:
