#Character Music (Rhoam)

[fragmentedlegends]

Every muse now has their own Spotify playlist! <3

I love making playlists for muses because it's a fun way to explore various parts of their feelings, thoughts, motivations, etc., and can help me find a unique "voice" for their narrative. I love seeing the differences and similarities between these playlists in styles, tones, and themes!

Randomly pulled lines from each playlist—

Hylia: In the land of plenty, we don't know what the word "no" means. Give it to me, give me all the things I want...we want violence, we want blood, we want superhero love, we want all the answers that you promised us, we want laughter, we want pain...A coronation, a beheading, from the funeral to the wedding, do you think they care where the crown goes?

Rhoam: I'm trying to get up, they're knocking me down, chewing me up, spitting me out, when I need to be saved, you're making me strong, you're making me stand, never will fall, never will end...you make me feel invincible, earthquake powerful, just like a tidal wave, you make me brave, you're my titanium, fight song rising up, like the roar of victory

Astor: Talk to myself, lie in the darkness so content, as the sun begins to rise I can barely shut my eyes, this crazed, delirious mess, laughing at everything I see, my sanity is spent...attention, all insomniacs, please raise your right hand and kindly repeat after me: "I guess I'll sleep when I am dead."

Ganondorf: Anything exceptional gets crushed by common people with jealousy and ignorance and all their common evils, this planet isn't special, collections made of clay, I'm waiting for the punishment, I know it's on my way, so cut me up, fuck me up...the last man standing gets no pity...you wanna win the war? Know what you're fighting for.

Sonia: Here's to us, here's to love, all the times that we messed up, here's to you, fill the glass, 'cause the last few days have kicked my ass, if they give ya hell, tell 'em go fuck themselves...here's to all we kissed and all we missed, to the biggest mistakes that's we just wouldn't trade, to us breakin' up without us breakin' down, to whatever's comin' out way, here's to us...wish everybody well, here's to us.

Link: You thought nothing could surprise you, you thought you’d seen everything but you never saw me coming, all eyes on me, ready or not I’m making waves, ready or not you can’t escape, ready or not I’m on my way, you can’t stop what I got, ready or not.

Demise: I came to stand tall, stare down the barrel of a gun that's aiming, 'cause that's all it ever takes, to change something you know's worth changing...it's what I want, it's towering tall in my heart, confusion between good and evil.

Revali: "You're never gonna make it, there's no way that you make it, yeah maybe you can fake it, but you're never gonna make it." Are you just gonna take that? Make them take it all back. Don't tell me you believe that. Are you just gonna take that? Or will you fucking fight back?

[ganondoodle]

just to note this, as much as i love botw, i am not uncritical of it, like while i personally like the weapon breaking and rain mechanics everyone else seemed to hate i do agree that the bosses and dungeons were kinda repetetive and there could have been more bigger sidequests, some more diverse epic music tracks also wouldnt have hurt tho i fully disagree with anyone trying to claim it didnt HAVE music, im convinced those people played it with sound off bc wth (edit. plus the unfortunately still orientalist design of the gerudo plus that belly dancer outfit for link ... that thankfully got removed in totk as far as i know but the rest still stands)

personal criticism id have that i would have prefered zelda never gaining her sacred powers but instead finding a different way to fight back, bc her gaining them like that kinda made rhoams abuse .. right, like turns out to activate her powers you need to literall kill everyone she cares about (at least thats why i feel a bit meh about that), her maybe not being as sidelined like that (tho youd have to change alot for that .. which totk had the perfect chance to and then kinda did it again but worse lol) and the yiga clan being less of one little side mission

(also way too many people kept hating on botw for the same few reasons, often without giving it a chance, i think we all heard all the endless complaints about usually little things so i dont need to retread all of that)

alot of those little criticism things got adressed in totk, which i LIKED, but overall its so much less in harmony, this should have been a game about rebuilding and recovering about working together and then zelda gets immediately booted off and we get introduced to characters we never learn enough of to really care and yet they still take away the mystery botw had left us for the world to feel more alive, they ripped out parts that were so internally organically connected to the world and pretended they never mattered nor existed, characters act off and i cant help but feel like the main 'plot' is, as much as i hate to use that comparison, a badly written fanfiction ... it builds on nothing and just leaves you .. or me at least feeling empty, like i am playing through a mockery of the game i loved ... like all the fun i had thinking about the things in botw, the theories you could come up with was all wasted time

i honestly cant describe it better than totk, despite the little QoL changes, and the changes i DID like, it just feels ... empty? not in a literal way but more ... mentally? it feels so shallow? like at multiple points i felt like the game was actively mocking me, when i reached the shrine of life and was faced with barren walls and a puddle of water i felt betrayed for caring so much about what botw had done .. i felt like i could hear the game laughing while i stood there not knowing what to think of it, and while this was the time when i felt the most actually physically compeltely betrayed, that feeling of being mocked kept happening, i kept feeling like i was treated like a dumb player character that just eats up anything they say without thinking or remembering the title this was supposedly a sequel of, like i should play with the little toys of glueing things together and forget the world around me like a 5 year old

that may sound harsh but that is how i, personally, feel about it

[angry-children]

yay. writing.

Picking up this garbage again ..

I'll write CxC if it's canon, no smut, angst definite, fluff sure. I don't do OCs.

I write for Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel, Undertale, Transformers (Bayverse) when I feel like it, Transformers One, Legend of Zelda (AoC, BoTW, ToTK only until I finish the other games), KNY, MHA, Splatoon (2: DSM or 3), Marvel (sometimes..). For FNF, I literally will only write for Ruvyzvat or Sarvente. Yay. I also write for RoTTMNT, TADC, and Mouthwashing, and some musicals like Epic.

Characters, HH: I'll write for all the staff members (platonic only for Niffty), Lucifer, the Vee's, and some of the overlords (the exceptions of the unnamed ones, the Eldritches, and Missi Zilla), and I don't write for the angels. KNY: Anyone who's not a literal child. MHA: Anyone besides the people I don't really know. HB: I'll write for IMP, Beelzebub and Asmodeus, the Ars Goetia, and Fizzarolli. I'll write for anyone in Undertale, but Monster Kid is platonic, Transformers (Bayverse) I won't write for any decepticons/terrorcons because again, I'm boring, Transformers One, I'll write B-127, Orion, and D-16, LoZ, I'll write for everyone, not king Rhoam and Yunobo, and platonically for Tulin. though. Splatoon, I'll write for Off the Hook, Squidbeak Splatoon (both of them), and Agent 8. RoTTMNT, i'll write for the turtles, April, and Casey. For TADC, I'll write everyone but Fudge, abstracted characters, and the other two gators (also able, I will write him). Finally on MW, basically everyone, but Swansea stays at family and that's it. I also write for Odysseus, Penelope, Telemachus, the Greek gods and more for Epic, and basically anyone in JJK unless I'm not feeling it.

Send requests. Please.

Update: I actually might write some smut if my man can convince me... /joke

Whoo, finished Echoes of Wisdom today! still plan to run around and try to finish things I skipped over or missed, but overall it was such a fun game, even if it was a bit shorter (it's also entirely possible I went a bit crazy and played through faster than usual). Definitely gonna be a top-5 LoZ game for me, it was so delightful...

some extra spoiler-y thoughts under the cut

Really enjoyed the final dungeon and final boss, bio-castles are one of my all-time favorite environments for fantasy worlds, and the "primordial cosmic horror" feel that Null had as a character is something else I love a lot. Also the way the mechanics were set up to have Zelda and Link fight side-by-side worked out surprisingly well, and the dungeon was fun to navigate with Link as an active partner. I'd love to see a future game expand those mechanics even further honestly, they were a delight, and it's a shame they were limited to one dungeon.

It was cool that the golden goddesses were like, actual characters w/ speaking parts too, I don't think that's ever happened in a game before. Actually, the game overall had a lot of little things I'd wanted to see in a LoZ game in general like, how the King and soldiers actually do mobilize to help Zelda and the citizens of Hyrule (they're unusually passive in most games), or just how natural a lot of the writing felt for characterization in general.

Really liked the King in this game a lot, it's funny since the last Major Hylian King (Rhoam) was Not very popular with fans bc he was a bit of an asshole, and then EoW's King is like, "This is my daughter Zelda, who is amazing and wonderful and I love her so much and will support her in whatever she does" like, very doting father character that doesn't come off as overbearing, which is refreshing (Rhoam was interesting in his own right, but he was also like, dead, so it was interesting more in a "chasing ghosts" sort of way and less in a "this is a character who can actively and presently affect what is going on").

Actually seeing Zelda get to interact with other characters and really shine as her own character was really nice too. Like, all the people in castle town really seem to know her more casually, and seeing her interact w/ other rulers was super fun too. (Not that Zelda isn't a character in other games, but she doesn't always get to be as present as EoW Zelda).

Overall I loved the game a lot, from beginning to end. The gameplay and mechanics were super fun to play around with, the music was very notably present and felt unique to every area, the art style was so pretty and cute, and the story and characters were solid from start to finish. I know I'm a bit biased, having grown up with older LoZ games, but EoW really does play and feel like a classic Zelda game, from the top-down gameplay to the dungeon design to the quirky one-off characters to the bittersweet story ending.

I don't follow the business side of the game industry that closely, but just based off the lack of a line to wait in for preordering the game on release day, I'm worried that EoW won't do as well and therefore Nintendo will be like "well, that game was a flop, so we won't do something like it again" (bc it kinda feels like they set it up to fail, I mean it even released on a Thursday instead of Friday like most games do), but damn do I hope the game actually does really well and pulls off a Metroid Dread, bc I would love to see more LoZ games like this one. Playable Zelda was great, and the entire game design was so fun, I would love to have another game like this but a bit larger/longer.

Anyhow, now off to unblock the tags for EoW and finally take peeks at guides and fanstuffs (I was only missing two echoes at the end of the game and I have NO idea what they are even if I know where they're supposed to be, thanks to the clear-game giving the player access to the number of things they're missing).

Absolutely delightful game, will probably replay it lots and lots.

TOTBP Worldbuilding Post

I realize I haven't been going into the modern world of my current fic too much as of writing this post, so I wanted to put this out there for anyone who's interested :D

The school system in the modern era is similar to the US school system. There's elementary school for K-5, middle school for 6-8, and high school for 9-12. After that students can go to college, join the army, go into a trade, etc.

The college Link, Zelda, Mipha, Purah, and the majority of other characters go to is Hyrule City University, which is around where Hyrule Field is. Other notable colleges that the characters go to are Hebra Mountains University, Kakariko Technical College, Gerudo University, and Zonai State University, which pairs up with HCU for an exchange student program.

The groups and different nations have grown and expanded since TOTK, so groups like the Rito, Zora, Gerudo, and Gorons have larger territories that are technically theirs. However, the kingdom (country now) is unified under a council that includes all of the races. The current Hylian head of this council is Zelda's father, Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule XIV.

Instead of sports like football, archery, horse sports, track, aquatic sports, and aerial sports take the center stage in college sports entertainment. In general, music is also a huge part of in-person and virtual entertainment, and some people will form groups and practice for months in order to perform at a music festival.

One of the main reasons why Hyrule is so much bigger now is because of the different subgroups of each main race joining into one society, or at least forming alliances. The most notable alliance between subgroups would be the one between the Lanayru Zora (what Mipha and Sidon are) and the Naydra Sea Zora (what Yona is).

Languages like Japanese, Hyrulean, Gerudo, Spanish, and Polynesian languages are all canon in this universe. However, the most prominent language is Hyrulean (which is basically English)

Bonus: Does reincarnation exist? We'll have to see 👁

KING RHOAM’S LAST GOODBYE

'Cause when it’s COLD

I’ll wrap my scarf around you

And when it’s HOT

I’ll place your head into my hands

And when you scream that IT’S NOT FAIR It’s like I’ve gone off to the coast Left you behind just standing there Pretending not to see YOUR GHOST If only you could hear my voice But you are screaming far too loud to hear me swear Just because I left doesn’t mean that I’m not still there

I get to watch you GROW UP now And make me PROUD, make all of those MISTAKES that make me laugh, oh darling lord how you make me laugh Get DRUNK for me, SING LOUDER than you’ve sung for me, GROW YOUNG each time that thunder in your lungs begins to rumble at the world Cos you were ALWAYS STRONG, When you were young, you’d kick things just to see if they would fall They said “that girl she’s WRONG” But I’ll stick up for you, even though you haven’t got a CLUE, you haven't got a fucking clue And I’m SO PROUD of you And when they laugh at us You’ll feel my fingers down your back And when you scream I’M NOT ALRIGHT

And throw my picture at the wall

“YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MY  LIGHT And keep me SAFE against them all How could you LEAVE ME here” you’ll scream And louder, I’ll scream back to you from that unknown And say,

I know you’re strong enough to do this on your own.

The Queens Death

Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed When the moon and the stars they were shining The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair And she swore she'd be my love forever

Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows Fair is the lily of the valley Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne But my love is fairer than any

It's not for the parting that my sister pains It's not for the grief of my mother It's all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass That my heart is breaking forever

[fragmentedlegends]

Thunder bringer, here to ring your

Ears until you're deaf with fear

And spear you while your death is near

Lightning wielder, here to yield your

Time, for you have passed your prime

Sublime you for your act of crime

[fragmentedlegends]

Will these actions haunt my days?

Every man I've slain

Is the price I pay, endless pain

Close your eyes

And spare yourself the view

How could I hurt you?

I'm just a man

Who's fighting for his life

Deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife

I'm just a man

But when does a comet become a meteor?

When does a candle become a blaze?

When does a man become a monster?

When does a ripple become a tidal wave?

When does the reason become the blame?

When does a man become a monster?

Forgive me

(When does a man become a monster?)

Forgive me

(When does a man become a monster?)

Forgive me

I'm just a man
