#ASAU Flora

[ageless-soul-au]

Wild's ref sheet is finally done!! Also including a rough scar map here and an unequipped alt (read: shrine boxers only) under the cut, along with some design notes!!

Wild belongs to ASAU, please don't tag any other AUs :)

Wild's outfit is mostly pulled from the Hylian set, with the exception of the tunic, Rito corset from the snowquill set, and boots. The tunic is something Kio just made up, the boots are from the Twilight Hero set (so Wild kinda stole Twi's old boots). Their earrings are two sapphire and topaz studs with ruby and diamond teardrops.

Their hair is usually worn long like this, with a few French braids pulling the long hair away from their face and creating a faux undercut. Wild usually keeps it pretty messy and doesn't do much more than this, but they do like it down rather than up.

On scars, Wild got a good bit of them on their adventure, but the large burns on their side, arm, and leg are definitely from defending Flora at Fort Hateno. They don't remember those very well. Their bad ear was from a near miss with a guardian laser, and they tend to leave that side facing their bombs, so they're fairly deaf in that ear now.

....Concerning the alt below, Kio couldn't make up their mind whether to have Wild nipless like the model, or let them keep their nips 😂 We decided "one on one off" and Wild is making their one remaining nip count. They frequently like their jewelry to match their earrings, but will opt for something less flashy if they're going out and adventuring, expecting to get knocked around. They might also have some other piercings out of sight and a few interesting scars...

And yes the Sheikah text does say something. It's decipherable if you have the patience! Just a silly little thing~

Hmmm. Sidlink?

I think the market is over saturated with this one BUT I cannot deny the appeal, Sidon is incredibly charming

*glances at ASAU's Wild/Sidon/Flora/Paya polycule* yeeeaaaahhhh.... Definitely couldn't resist bxgxbdxnz

Ask box is empty? Oh we can't have that. Give me your headcanons. Make em embarrassing for your characters. Literally just the stuff that would make them scream and rush to silence whoever spoke them.

SILVER HOW ARE U SO FUCKING FAST????? Color coding just bc this might get cluttered

Cinder and Fae both have the same taste in women so they are terrible wingmen for each other (not for lack of trying) It's just that since Cinder flounders talking to pretty women and Fae freezes, they're too paralyzed to be any help. WHEEZE.

Flora had a lisp as a young child

Wars had braces as a kid and don't ask me how that works but he'd rather die before u knew (and Mizu is now informing me that they are magic braces w tiny rupee shapes. Would that be sharp? It'd be cute)

Time told several of Lullaby's guards that babies came from plants as a seventeen year old and Malon had Talon give him the talk. He still doesn't look any of those particular guards in the eyes when he sees them and he takes every pain to avoid talking to them. He told them with confidence. With his whole chest.

Wild has had several several SEVERAL MANY MANY adventuring mishaps and only talks about some of them. Let's just say that... trying to shield surf off hebra peak and tumbling all the way down, and attempting to ride a dragon only to fall off and hit every single spike on the way down as they ragdoll due to elemental effects... Those don't make the cut, to just name a couple

Twi has had SEVERAL times where he has done a wolf mannerism as a human. But like where all of the chain can see so he gets teased relentlessly. There are stories Wind could force upon ppl that would make everyone uncomfortable xbgxgsnsn and they aaaaaaaalllll have to do w Midna. He knows too much and Twi wants to strangle him.

Wind practiced kissing tetra in the mirror, his pillow, and on the back of his hand before he ever tried to peck her cheek. Linebeck has caught him more than once.

Pre-quest, Odyssey had to walk into town half naked and covered in mud once, bc it'd been raining and while being surprised by a monster in his underwear, which was bad enough, he slipped and fell down a hill. Then he had to explain why he was not dressed, toting all of his gear in his hands, and back early from exploring TO HIS PARENTS. When one of his siblings asked why he didn't just jump in the river that runs right by his family's inn to clean off the mud..... He could have killed them. It was probably his older sister, who'd tease him about it mercilessly and have him consider murder.

Blue is mortified by how soft he is for red sometimes. If he is feeling touchy, just mentioning him holding red's hand will make him combust. (If four is dissociating there's a 50/50 chance it's bc Red and Blue are being mushy and insufferable. It's not that four's bored by your explanation, Cinder. It's just. Yanno. XDDDD)

Sky tries v hard not to bring attention to how much a little s h i t he used to be and still can be. The population of Skyloft in its entirety seems determined to never let him live it down. Yes I am referring to P e a t r i c e. He also flunked a couple of years until Zelda forced him to catch up. If it hadn't been for her he probably would have been held back longer than fledge

Champion thinks sharp teeth are sexy and he's terrified of anyone finding that out. Especially mipha.

-Kio & Mizu

Do you have headcannons to spare👉🏾👈🏽? About anything and anyone really

Hmmmm let's see. Mizu is busy today so I think I'll just throw some things out there.

Been thinking a little about Champion lately. I think he's got short hair. Like way shorter than it is in botw. I haven't doodled it yet but I need to.

Twilight has like a million animals he feeds. All the cats. Modern au Twi would probably volunteer with an animal shelter or adoption program. He might foster pets! Help with spay/neuter catch and release programs! Yknow that kind of thing

I think transfemme Dusk would be Very Cool. We didn't have that in mind when setting up asau and the royal line kinda needs to continue, and there's a whole bunch of stuff with zeldy powers being only in afab ppl bc that's how we set it up to work. But like dusk has the energy yknow, on top of being a distinguished sword lesbian. Also transfemme Fable! Her and Legend would legit be opposites bdgdbsbbxbx

Flora is chubby. Mizu sent me an artwork earlier this month of botw/aoc Zelda, Urbosa, and Link and I just fell IN LOVE, we immediately made it canon. She was just so fucking cute. (Twitter link)

We were talking about like. The kind of stuff that happens when you're on T. And I was talking about how when you change doses your face swells for a little while, and it can do that when you first start. So even tho Legend's ring would regulate his T, it could still happen at first. So our (paraphrased) conversation was like:

Mizu: I think it does, and Legend is upset/self conscious about it, but then Wars is like "wow... Was your jawline always this strong?" and Legend is immediately hit with euphoria

Kio: YEAH he'd be like "I don't even care if he's lying to me?? I do not care, this feels too nice"

And then that convo went onto Legend whining about having acne again, etc etc lol

We recently talked about maybe writing something about Legend's mom and dad!!! Like how their relationship went up to having legend. So maybe this will happen. I fucking. I love his and fable's mom Amethyst, we've written her and Alfon in Faction and. AAAAAA she's just great. Legend takes after her sm. He definitely gets his temper from her. What's funny is that ppl look at Alfon and how stoic and mild he is and think that he's the voice of reason, but no. On the inside there is chaos, especially when amethyst is involved. Her flirting with him made his brain catch on fire, but outwardly? Nothing.

Just fucking. ASK ME about how many AUs we have. I fucking dare u. We've got spinoffs of spinoffs. So many ideas. All the time. I convinced Mizu to make a furry au with me. It's like stardew valley minus the farming and it is so fucking delightful. Wars is a cat. He's big and fluffy and blonde and has white mittens on his fucking paws and it brings me SO MUCH joy. Did you know that rabbits don't have paw pads? It's just fur.

Okey ty for letting me ramble ✌️
