Link didnt become a Shade because of intense regret, he just chased the reaper away out of spite 👌

(I want to know what tf managed to kill Link)

This comic took an unholy amount of effort, but I'm glad I ended up making it!

I've always been fascinated by Hilda and Ravio's story, and I've always felt their story was never fully resolved.

I debated whether or not to end the comic on a sad note, but this was my personal take and feelings on their ending. It felt so triumphant... but also slightly bitter.

Hope you enjoy! 💜

Deleted scene from my ALBW comic!

This was originally supposed to be one or two pages detailing how Hilda's plan came to be. I was going to write a scene where Hilda observes Zelda from beyond the cracked slate, and starts to plot her manipulation.

My headcanon was that Hilda's dress (the one we see in-game) is actually not one of Hilda's personal wardrobe, but something she made on purpose to mimic Zelda, in order to evoke a sense of familiarity and sympathy from the Hero. I got this idea because I honestly thought her dress didn't fit her vibes when I played albw. It didn't feel like something she'd naturally wear (although that's just my personal tastes)

I didn't end up adding this scene because:

1. I didn't know where to put it in the comic so it flows naturally

2. It's just a personal headcanon, rather than something supported by the game

So this scene was unfortunately doomed to stay in draft hell lol

I thought the rocket shields made Link look like Superman

If only Link could do a rocket punch,,, he could've been the next one punch man...

AAAAH Suikoden remaster finally arrived!!!

It's so nice to see my old favs again 🥰

(Konami abandoned the IP for DECADES 😭)

It's revolutionary girl Zelda!

Sketch was inspired by the amazing design of TP Zelda by @ovegakart in this comic: link

I had the BIGGEST crush on TP Zelda back when I first played the game... seeing Zelda in those pants had me blacked out,,,

Midna completely missed out by smashing that mirror 😭

Live reaction to the midriff+riding pants combo:

Realized that one of my fav panels is a little small, so I've enlarged it!

I just love drama queen Ganondorf after getting scratched by an angry hobbit with no abs (It's not even the Master Sword you'll be okay bby)

Was this how Ganon felt

When he flurry rushed your flurry rush

But you flurry rushed his flurry rush that he flurry rushed to your flurry rush??

Bullying Ganon is community service 💗

Also Ganon's back flip flurry rush is so extra,,, Link is literally like 4 foot nothing, just take one step backwards lmao not like he can reach you

(Based on the in-game mechanic of having to flurry rush Ganon twice in order to land a hit, Ganon reverse uno's your first flurry rush)

Last panel credit to and references this: link

Drew a funny doodle inspired by that tumblr post but then I couldn't stop drawing...

Did I really just commit to a whole action sequence just to make one terrible joke...?

....yes... 😬😭

Don't edit your posts after posting them challenge: impossible

Why is it that mistakes are only visible AFTER posting?? 🫣🫠

I could stare and scrutinize a drawing for 30min before posting and think it's ready... but the minute it's posted BAM obvious mistake 😭😭

I've been having Lady Gaga's Abracadabra on my brain on repeat for a week now... and if I have to suffer, so does everyone else 😭 sorry not sorry

Legend has the hardest dance minigame out of all the games,,, so after blood, sweat, and tears, he became the Headmaster of the Dance Hall and executes anyone who underperforms (if the Gorons showed no mercy in the minigame, why should he?)

It's totally canon, I swear

Hyrule Warriors young Link is so cute it triggers my cute aggression, whoever designed that victory animation definitely knew what they were doing!!

I couldn't decide if I wanted him to hold the Fierce Deity mask or the Bunny Hood, so I combined both. It's honestly a tragedy that we can't do that in-game...

[stxss-art]

Here's Xane and Duma from Fire Emblem!

Xane is probably my absolute favourite FE character of all time, even if he is a little obscure. As for Duma, I think he's a very complex character, and drawing melting zombie dragons is VERY fun, 10/10 would recommend.

It's such a shame these two are so unpopular, I wish I could see more fanart of them!! But have my rough sketches in the meantime :)

Also sorry for the incoming long rant under the cut, but I have FEELINGS about Fire Emblem I need to get out, and this post might as well be it, sorry in advance if it offends anyone 😭

I've loved FE since playing Sacred Stones and Binding Blade, and I still loved FE even with the massive change to the franchise after Awakening... (though my absolute favourite game is SoV, which replaced Sacred Stones) but the final nail in coffin that killed my hyperfixation was the new FE Engage... honestly what even was that shit... I'm sorry to the fans, but I couldn't even finish that game, it was so. Bad.

Why are the characters so one-dimensionally quirky like they're from a trashy dating sim?? What even was up with the ring concept?? I was cringing so hard through the entire gameplay... maybe I haven't given the story a good enough chance? 3H had me thinking we were recovering from the dating sim tragedy of IF (shoehorned romancing babies... seriously wtf)... what happened??? And why do we NEED an MC self-insert avatar that can romance everyone and their mothers??

I loved FE for the multi dimensional lore, the back stories between the side characters, the world building... the strategy gameplay!! I never needed to have parasocial romances with the characters to appreciate them. In fact, they were the most interesting when they interacted with each other!

I'm just sad about the direction of FE since the success of Awakening, it wouldve been fine if the quality was there... but half the games are now just barely-concealed harem games that does strategy rpg on the side. Fire Emblem is all about the writing! The story drives the gameplay, terrible writing is forgivable in gameplay-focused games, but not FE.

I just feel we lost so much good writing and world building, like the lore about the divine dragon tribe (a source of my hyperfixation). There's very little, but so much is said from the little we do have. I love the complexity of their situation, their actions, the tragedy and choices of the divine dragons throughout majority of the games that affect the entire world... and I'm still sad that we never got the 3rd game after Mystery of the Emblem, that Kaga expressed would have more story and focus on Xane, who has an interesting contrast to Tiki. This is also the reason why I enjoyed Rhea's backstory from 3H. It also plays on the tragedy and choices of divine dragons in the age of man, and the inherent struggles for power and survival; it was well written in comparison to whatever Engage is. I would go on a tangent about divine dragons since I used to obsess over the lore and analyze it, but I've taken enough space for something that probably isn't an issue for most people lol

My only hope is that any new addition to the franchise would be well written, I wish I could make more fanart, but FE feels kinda sour now...

Extra:

I was so obsessed, I even played the hellish FE Heroes gacha (had to stop after 4 years because of their awful powercreeping that would have destroyed my wallet). But look at some of my lovely +10's that are totally competitively non-viable now!
