Whumptober Day22

(Glass shard)

In order for any of this to make any real sense, you might wanna check out this post

The Golden Gems are the boys btw(it’s referring to their Shards of Courage)

New divider made by @firefly-graphics

The sun fell over the horizon hours ago, the sky being overtaken by the darkness of night. Yet, the volley of flaming arrows lit up the sky.

It was a surprise attack, the Golden Gems unsheathed their weapons quickly, taking a defensive stance. The monsters pooled in from over a hill. The army of them looked to be five hundred and too many. They were terribly outnumbered. You could even say that they were out planned.

Fierce commanded the others while Mask got them ready, unsheathing the Biggoron sword and his shield materialized from his gem. The others followed the Fierce half’s directions.

Another volley of arrows flew through the sky, each landing in a tree and setting it ablaze. They felt Fierce’s eye open, but saw nothing out of it.

Wild shot his own arrows, hoping to hold them back just a little longer. Legend assisted the attack, taking out his own bow and making a few arrows materialize out of his purple gem.

Sky sent down a skyward strike, a beam of light following the slash of the blade. It killed some monsters, but the black stain among the other monsters put a glare on Time’s face.

Of course their dark counterpart would lead such a large army. How lucky did they expect to be in the Champion’s Hyrule?

“Old Man!” Wild yelled, trying to overpower the crackling of the fire. Time considered the choices. Fierce said that they’d be better off running and making sure that everyone was safe. Mask said that they should fight, that this hoard will only get larger if they left it alone and ran.

Time turned to Wild, both of the gems, Fierce and Mask reaching an agreement. “Forward!” The other gems went, war cries following them into the heat of battle.

Time threw his shield like a boomerang, decapitating three monsters on his way up the hill. Twilight had an idea similar, throwing his gale boomerang.

Mask caught their shield and Fierce swung their sword. It was like clockwork for them. They’ve fought together for years.

They swung once again at an enemy, but everything froze. They realized what happened.

They locked eyes with their dark counterpart, time in stasis around them. They knew what would happen. At least, Mask did. He’d dealt with this before.

The Shadow decided to look like them this time. Probably for old time’s sake. No words were exchanged, the two fusions eyed each other for another ten seconds or so.

The Shadow had a sly smirk pulled onto his face. Time moved, the Shadow mirrored that move. It seemed that they were also mirroring movements today too.

Mask scoffed, “What do you want?”

“I want to see someone shatter. It’s been far too long, hasn’t it? That we’ve shattered someone?”

“Shattering isn’t some game,” Mask and Fierce said in unison.

“Wouldn’t you know?” Shadow dashed at them, time around them unfroze at their command.

They reached for Fierce’s eye and the double helix sword he used to wield appeared in their hand. They dropped the Biggoron sword, deciding to swing the Fierce Blade.

Their sword clashed with their dark counterpart for what felt like eons, their opponent seeming not to tire even a bit.

Shoulder, thigh, hip. It had been injured at best. Either by the Shadow or a boko who wanted to get a hit in. The boys did the same to the Shadow, jumping in briefly to get their own hit in.

Wind decided that it was his turn to get his own hit in. He sliced through another blue bokoblin before he turned into a spin attack to cut the Shadow. The thing blocked the boy’s advance and kicked him hard enough to knock him into a tree.

Mask and Fierce cried the boy’s name when he wouldn’t get up. They dropped their guard and tried to run to him. They were grabbed by the back of their shirt and shoved into the dirt face first.

Mask screamed, the gem of his nose took most of the force. For a second, Fierce’s heart dropped. He knew what the Shadow was trying to do. Fierce used Time’s trembling hands to brace himself on the ground, Mask’s cries echoing in his brain.

“C’mon! Just shatter already!” Fierce couldn’t- no- he wouldn’t let that happen. Mask was not going to shatter while they were fused.

Time was turned on his back, Fierce raised their arms over their nose. He prayed that Mask hadn’t cracked.

“Someone get there!” They heard the Captain yell, worry laced into every word he spoke.

“I’m trying!” The Skyloftian shouted back.

“There’s too many of them!” Twilight groaned, panic in his own words.

That was when a boot met Time’s nose. An audible crack rang through the battlefield. Fierce paused.

“Mask…?”

No answer.

“Mask!”

“I-“ Fierce heard the smaller gem’s voice cut off and then a groan. “Cra-cked…” Fierce heard a static echo in their head.

Mask, his boy, his sapphire companion that he’s been with, the one he’s fought with for years, is cracked.

Shadow went for another stomp. Time didn’t have the luxury of time to move.

It hit his nose once more. This time, there was nothing, only the victorious laugh the Shadow spat out.

“How refreshing!” It stepped away from Time.

Time didn’t move.

“Mask! Please! Tell me you didn’t-“ Fierce couldn’t feel the coolness of the sapphire that graced his face. When he reached up to make sure that his companion was okay, he only brought back shards of royal blue. The royal blue of Mask’s gem.

Fierce found himself staring, the rest of the battlefield noise faded in the back. He heard their- no- his chest pound violently.

Time used to be the two of them, but now it was just Fierce. Mask was gone, right?

Fierce sat up and held the shattered bits of Mask.

“Hylia no!” Warriors knelt by Fierce’s side, picking at the shards. Out of all the friends the obsidian had lost, he never wanted to lose his little brother…

Fierce stared at the shattered bits in silence. Soon, the others started to crowd around.

Wind, with bandages around his head, decided to speak. “Well, at least you’re not fully shattered?”

Wild tried to help, “Yeah! I’m sure the Smithy could make you a shield just like your old one!”

“I would be happy to, of course!” Four smiled at Wild.

“Enough you idiots!” Warriors stood up, eyeing the three with a vicious glare. “Have you never seen a fusion in your lives?!”

“Captain…”

“No gem in the history of history has ever been made with two fucking gems!”

“Captain!”

Warriors balled up his fists. Sky hugged him, pushing the Captain’s head onto his own shoulder.

Fierce looked back down at the fragments. He felt his eyes start to water. But gems didn’t cry. Gems couldn’t cry. So why was his face wet and why, why, why?!

Time’s body shone white. When the white faded, it was just Fierce. Not even the green of Mask’s stupid hat remained.

Fierce’s breath caught in his throat, the shock setting in.

Mask was gone. Mask was shattered.

redesigning my headcanon for Sebek's parents, based on important new information (SCALES)

(you can't see it but they're both wearing crocs)

[vigilskeep]

i’m very baffled by the logistics of how lucanis’ early act 2 companion quest bloodbath ended. he was unconscious, right? and we’ve all just been fighting waist deep in blood? did we carry him back to the cantori diamond eluvian through the streets covered in that much blood. because i have to believe you’re not getting an unconscious man across those ziplines. did anyone say anything or do people in treviso just live like this. was everyone at the diamond just like yeah another working day at crow hq nothing to see here

[devilsskettle]

The X trilogy + "psycho-biddy" influences

[fishmech]

also people don't talk about it enough but it is funny that space war crimes general Obama gets put in full bottom storage and also that you can fuck with him by just deliberately waiting at him

[eshtaresht]

if any of my american friends see this, I understand what you're going through and I care you

but jesus fucking christ is it annoying to watch every social media feed just. flooded with doomerism and whining... I know this is just a sub product of american global influence as a whole but it's just frustrating and tiring to have to be invested in one single country's politics cause they're gonna bite everyone's ass. this behavior isn't unique either, this happens after any election, it's just when it's other countries they do that in their segregated "side of the internet" and americans are the whole internet so that's literally all everyone is seeing right now

and I don't wanna say this, cause I get the panic, I really do, been there done there but guys.... you're not special. your fascistic government didn't become suddenly fascistic overnight and it certainly isn't a Unique brand of evil, it's as conservative as the rest of the world's major powers right now! you just didn't care about that as long as you had the illusion of personal safety. congrats! it's gone now. welcome to the real world, oh Regular White American who just suddenly realized they don't have as much say in the order of things as they thought they had! ! you're gonna be fiiiine. you're gonna be fucked over but you're gonna survive just like the rest of the world being fucked over by your stupid government (except for the people it had and continues to kill, obviously)

fuck, this sounds really evil and mean and everyone and their mother are already at each other's throats but ghrrrrrhh I just need to get this frustration out somewhere

[trainingdummyrabbit]

ah. has difficulty sleeping then dreams of apocalypse i guess.

[ghost-of-kreacher]

could you imagine the fucking brain blast i had where kjh mentioned that there was going to be a collab on the stream a while back

and my mind went straight to fnaf for some fucking reason cuz of the new video that dual process theory released

then i realized that if somehow fnaf was indeed the collab, Ryoshu would be the most likely candidate for a Michael Afton ID

spoilers in the tags for canto vii, i guess

i can't believe how much this company apparently does not want my money

[capricioussun]

I don't typically like to complain about others' interps/fanon interps but it's always bugged me the way I often see swap papyrus characterized as being a total useless layabout all the time while conversely seeing people jump through hoops to attribute just about everything they can to Sans/UF Sans/etc and point out how, jokes aside, he canonically isn't actually lazy.

I know it's mostly just a symptom of not putting as much thought/attention into characters you're not as interested in, I'm sure I'm guilty of it with plenty of them, but it's just, idk...disappointing, I guess.

[alloftheseworldz]

As I'm taking down notes to further my Dave character studies, I remembered what Clarke said about how his characterization was inconsistent, so does this mean I get to do whatever I want forever?

[fate-defiant]

Doodled this in aggie.io to try it out. Would anyone be interested in doing a drawing collab sorta thingy sometime?

[goldengodcannibal]

no not me, it's for a friend.

denial.
