Behold.

Colour.

I spent way too much time on this. And I'd need to simplify their designs to be able to actually make any kind of long-term comic out of them, but hey! It's a start!

Absolutely love how most Links are just. Canonically short kings. The only ones here who would have eclipsed 6ft would have been Squire (Four Swords Adventures Link), Sandy (Gerudo Link, my muse was lacking that day), Manny (Hero of Men, very creative I know), and maybe Beast (Twilight Princess Link).

Except these poor suckers are all from the Bad Timeline, and so most of them die young. I guess it just means Hylia gets a whole heap of her own personal 'Worst Wolverines' to fix her timelines. How convenient for her.

And most inconvenient for every Link here. Poor blighters. At least they make a scarily competent DND party.

[From left to right along rows: Row 1 - Alchemist, Pink, Typhlo, Shadow, Drake, Ninja, Shieldmaiden, Sandy, Aspect Row 2 - Engineer, Linkle, Manny, Champion, Prince, Lil Sis, Lil Bro, Chance, Squire, Beast, Keaton]

... In my defence, I have been left alone to pack for a plane trip, and this was my chosen procrastination. Here, have a full map of the world surrounding Hyrule Kingdom.

I've set it up so it would take a rough month and a half to cross Hyrule on foot, even without the difficult terrain and other considerations. So have in mind this world is large with a capital BIG.

Due to places like the Great Sea and other locations present in some games that didn't have landmarks that always perfectly connected with other preceding depictions of Hyrule, I've taken a lot of liberties and made the continent of Hyrule and the new continent that was the home of Spirit Tracks vastly different locations. To be honest, I don't mind this being used as a reference for people trying to comprehend scale in their own writing, so do with it what you will. Just understand that I'll probably never get the chance to finish the closeup maps I had pencilled out. Ah well.

The main map of Hyrule is very much the BOTW one, but the expansive size and direction of the Gerudo desert is based on many more variations. Side note: Termina does not exist on this map per se, it is technically a tear in reality, a prison of sorts, meant to keep the powers beyond the control of mere mortals at bay. So again, do with this what you will.

Honestly, if I was Demise, I'd just pack up and go home. Some lunatics in a colourful tunic are going to be far better at causing havoc and discord than any 'King of the Demons' can ever dream of being.

Fortunately for Demise, Hylia couldn't call the A-Team Links - they're all off doing something or rather that she has been assured is Very Important. Unfortunately, it means that the Links she can ask for assistance might either say no, or maybe complain, or even say yes, and somehow that is worse.

They were, after all, the Links that succeeded at a cost. Sometimes, Hylia doesn't really like what said cost means for her...

[There is a hell of a lot of 'home-made' Links here - three girls, just for funsies, and yes that is a Gerudo Link and a Sheikah Link and a Zonai Link and a Dragon Link. Couldn't help myself. And a guy who's just straight up just a guy. Maybe two Just a Guys, actually... Hmm.]

Also can't get over the Yiga!Sheik notes I had written down, so naturally, I had to revise and make him work. So Amnesiac Assassin Yiga and the Hylian Champion Hyrulian road trip it is. I had to go and find the actual refs for Impa, because my old design was pre-AoC, and thus, not at all accurate. Oh well.

[lynelsscareme]

You ever just. Find ancient notes you wrote for yourself back when botw came out for a Link Meet Up fic and suddenly remember that you loved these versions of these characters you've long since cemented into your memory as separate individuals?

Because boy, oh boy, did I find the motherload of story notes... Multiple female links, several opportunities for resurrecting dead characters, gods being creepy, Shadow Link because why not I guess, ghouls, and murder. Lots and lots of murder. And goddesses obsessed with soup...

I was on so many meds that year... what did I make??

Todays stream was about the ecological impact of animals. Starting with Opisthocoelicaudia plowing channels through a wetland, Secernosaurus nesting colony on a mangrove forest, Titanites mass spawning and a beached Aristonectes being food for a lot of animals.

a scooby doo series set in community college where the gang is in a criminology class and end up in a huge debate on the first day of class that leads to them starting a podcast talking about local urban legends, only to realize things aren’t quite adding up and they go to investigate for ~journalistic authenticity~ and end up solving a real-life crime disguised as supernatural occurrences. this happens every week and they’re frequently featured on the school newspaper. they only have twenty listeners

Most Disney movies, supernatural, teen wolf, quite a few assumed I watched Ouran High or Vanpire knight.

They all go quiet when I go; “ it what about 2003 clone wars” it’s a niche hill, but I’m dying on it.

fuck everything. whats the media people ASSUME youre into. what are people surprised that you havent watched/played/whatever

people are more willing to forgive russian war criminals than mildly rude Ukrainians

russians can invade Ukraine, bomb Ukrainian hospitals and schools, rape, torture and kill Ukrainians as much as they want and they still get excused for everything: it's putins war, they are just poor little underfed boys who were forced to fight

but Ukrainians expect top be perfect victims 24/7 and God forbid you do something slightly wrong, you'll be dehumanized, called nazi and facsist for even implying that russians should be held accountable for their actions

this is true power of russian imperialism

I don’t like knights in the “glorifying a military police force as symbols of power, wealth, and tradition” way. I like knights in the “cult of chivalry and psychological fallout of raising sons to die like their fathers for a king they’ll never meet” way but also in a “swords and armor symbolic of the heaviness and impermanence of manhood” way.
