Cryptid AU: Heart Potion Effectiveness
I’ve decided to start making little informational posts about some aspects of my au! Some general thoughts I’ve had or answering questions! For this one, I was thinking about biology and physiology and how potions would affect each Link given their differing levels of Hylian-ness. And so! In no particular order:
Twilight (shapeshifter) : Heart potions heal him very well, similarly to how it works in canon. Depending on the injury, he’ll need multiple doses, which must not be taken immediately after each other or else they could cause poisoning. It is recommended that he take one every half hour and rest in between. Note that the dosage he is able to consume will change depending on the shape he takes: a small animal like a bird or squirrel would be able to handle far less while a larger animal such as Wolfie would be able to handle more at a time. Wounds that he receives while in a different shape will always transfer over to the next one when he shifts.
Four (I honestly have know idea what to call them yet) : Heart potions also work very well for them! Not much to say here, it’s mostly the same as Twilight. Although I’ll point out that if an individual color gets injured while they’re split, the injury will remain on the body when they reform. Communication between colors is vital. (Good thing they’re good at that. Haha)
Legend (Mer) : Heart potions have a muted effect on Legend unless he’s actively in his Mer form and soaking in salt water. While he’s in his ‘Hylian’ form, he’s not using his true body, so it doesn’t heal in the same way his Mer body would. Being an entirely aquatic species, he functions better in sea water in every circumstance, and that includes healing. Since he’s not always in a position where he can soak, he relies on Hyrule’s magic for the most part. Or deals with sub par healing.
Wind (Aquili) : Wind, being another sea creature, reacts to heart potions very similarly to Legend. Although because Aquili are amphibious rather than fully aquatic, he’s a lot less dependent on water as part of the healing process. If he sustains a particularly bad wound, soaking him before giving him a potion would be beneficial. But in most cases, he responds well to heart potions. And while it’s true that he heals better while in his Aquili form, changing between Aquili and ‘Hylian’ is no issue for him.
Hyrule (Fairy) : THIS KID IS DRINKING HEART POTIONS LIKE HIS LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. Because, in a way, it does. Hyrule, while he’s a very powerful fairy and has a lot of magic at his disposal, cannot use that magic on himself. He can heal everyone else all he wants, but can’t heal himself. And so, he relies solely on heart potions to get through particularly dangerous battles or accidents. I will note that it is rare for him to get hurt badly enough to necessitate this kind of intervention. He has excellent control of his spells and his glamour. Unless he’s magically exhausted (which he never is, right? Right?), he can defend himself better than anyone. Part of his is because of his extreme caution to never EVER bleed, and partly because of his ability to turn two inches tall and be fully capable of using powerful spells.
Wild (Forest Spirit) : Heart potions are entirely ineffective for Wild, as they are made with parts of monsters. Monsters are made of evil and darkness and Wild is made of Light, so they’re treated like poison to his body. Wild is kind of sort of immortal in that he does not age, but he can definitely be killed. (I treat him kind of like a Skykid for anyone who knows Sky: Children of the Light. When he looses all of his Light, he dies. And he looses this Light to things like Malice and Gloom and attacks from monsters, since they are entities of evil and hatred). In order for Wild to heal, he needs to be strengthened by things that come from the earth. This why he cooks often and eats often.
Warriors (Sword Spirit) : Heart potions do absolutely nothing for him. He cannot drink them. He’s a sword. If he runs out of energy, he can retreat into his sword until he’s back to normal: that’s generally how injuries with him are going to look. His spirit form can only take so many hits before he has to rest. Unless his physical sword got damaged, which would be NOT GOOD. However, they do have a very capable smith in their ranks so I’m sure Wars will be fine. Haha.
Sky (Avian) : Heart potions only heal Sky half way, and in many cases, can be detrimental to his mental health. Since his is the combination between Link and Aepon, heart potions alone heal him unevenly and force a separation between his two parts. As Link is more healed than Aepon, the others might notice a change in his behavior. And due to the general inefficiency in healing physical wounds, the others will opt for different healing methods for Sky; sub par healing is not worth the turmoil that it puts him through. For best healing results, mushroom spores from Skyloft (Loftwing medicine) will be mixed into heart potions and given to Sky. But since those mushroom spores can only be found in the sky and are rarely available, Sky relies on Hyrule for the major wounds and tends to himself for the smaller ones.
Time (God) : Heart potions for Time are a MASSIVE energy boost. This can be very, very dangerous as it can cause him to loose himself, and he won’t come down from it for a long while. No one likes a rampaging God. That being said, he is a God, if Time needs a potion, they have bigger issues.
Also Time is actually legitimately immortal. With no danger of death, there’s no need for potions. I will explain the logistics of his immortality in another post I promise haha!

i keep typing and then deleting a post about self immolation as an act cause i think some people. are kind of missing the point of it. but i also have to go to work soon and don’t have time to get all my thoughts out right now. but bottom line is. the point is to witness the point is to see the point is that it is horrific the point is your attention the point is this is one of the most brave and desperate acts it is not simply suicide and it is not an act of hopelessness it is a human giving their life to something bigger than themself in the hopes that it will make a difference it is a political statement it is a request that you look and listen and act

tips on staying safe at your local pride parade
make sure you have the following items:
- sunscreen
- water
- first aid kit
- shoes you can run in
- face mask
- hand sanitizer
if you see anti-queer protests, don’t engage.
keep your phone charged. bring a battery pack if possible.
utilize the buddy system. don’t go to pride alone.
establish a rendezvous point in case of emergency and you are separated from your group.
share your plans and where you are throughout the day with a friend who isn’t attending.
keep a piece of paper with emergency contacts on you.
carry cash, but make sure it’s kept in a very secure location.
pride is so much fun. but you have to be sure you’re staying safe and prepared in case of emergency. stay safe out there friends 🧡

I voted Marc but then I realized that Vale has a literal cult I failed at the poll😔
i’m bouncing off of @splitstuura’s tags on that poll but. marc is honestly pretty simple to me
Tumblr media
like two pillars shape about 90% of his deal and YES he’s insane about injury but again. it comes back to that fundamental need to win. AND i cannot stress this enough, he LEARNED all of that weird injury stuff FROM VALE and the other aliens !!! from vale’s broken leg in 2010 and pedrenzo’s dueling collarbones in 2013. it all has precedent!! he did not invent riding through injury he’s just been talented enough that he has instances where he can push through it ! vale on the other hand. cults. walls in garages. corporate espionage. being opps with a 22 year old at 36. punching max biaggi in the mouth. doesn’t call his parents mom and dad. refuses to see a psychologist. tax evaded to the tune of 163 million dollars. has utterly no ability to be vulnerable in public. ego issues that are so balls to the wall insane i STILL am regularly baffled by them. grief trauma issues to boot. AND. dealt with all of these by completely blowing up his relationship with marc in a public forum based on a series of delicate little delusions as a coping mechanism. he’s insane.

cannot stop thinking about them so here’s some atsulucy headcanons <3
Atsushi will always scope out the toy section of thrift or second-hand stores for dolls and such for Lucy. at first, he always got her the prettiest doll he could find. but then he invited her to come along with him one time and saw her immediately gravitate towards the ugliest and wackiest looking doll there was, and ever since that’s the kind of doll he’s gifted her
in a similar vein, Atsushi tries his best to spoil her the same way he spoils Kyouka. he can’t afford anything fancy, but he’ll always pick her up some candy or a fun drink when she’s feeling down, and she’s got a little kitty keychain from him that she absolutely adores
Atsushi introduced Lucy to chazuke, and in turn Lucy introduced him to a lot of American and Canadian foods, like hashbrowns, poutine, and bannock.
Lucy picks up so many shifts at the café that she’s damn near working a 9-5. the only one to ask her why was Kunikida, and she immediately went red and demanded he never speak about it again. he didn’t need any more than that to get his answer.
the manager of Café Uzumaki is very very protective of Lucy, and is extremely happy that of all the guys out there, she met Atsushi.
that being said, Atsushi is a decently dense idiot sometimes, bless him, so he’s entirely oblivious to the incredibly obvious hints that Lucy constantly drops (aka defending him against actual terrorism accusations.) both the rest of the café staff and detectives have to watch in agony as Atsushi’s carries on about his day, completely unaware of how fat a crush Lucy’s got on him.
Atsushi’s venting about how he totally doesn’t have a chance with her romantically, meanwhile Jun’ichirō is white-knuckling the desk trying not to call him a fucking moron.
their confessions would definitely be incredibly awkward ngl. neither are the best with words, and Lucy tends to get a bit too brash when being vulnerable. so it’d probably be one of those sorta angry confessions followed by Atsushi going “?? wait you have a crush on me too???? why didn’t you tell me sooner!!! ( ^ω^ )”
it’s not Atsushi isn’t competent. he’s just not exactly used to romantic relationships, and there’s also a big difference in Japanese and American/Canadian courting culture, for lack of better terminology.
i feel like Lucy would try to better her relationship with Kyouka as well, but only through doing things like making sure her usual order is ready by the time she and Atsushi come downstairs for their break. tragically this woman can’t do anything with proper subtly so instead she places her drink down with a bit too much force and then asks Atsushi his order with maybe a bit too much aggression.
Lucy learns how to make the pastries and sweets and drinks that Atsushi loves really well, so that she can be the one making his orders one day.
they would absolutely have dates in parks and gardens and such. little picnics that end up with wildflowers weaved into Lucy’s braids. lounging under shady trees with Atsushi’s head in her lap. absolute saps, the two of them
in conclusion i love the two of them dearly and i have not stopped thinking about them for a damn long time

Today’s the day I’m gonna write the post about how important it is to me that Luffy says this to Jimbei.
“Even if you die; don't die!!!”
And how meaningful that is to Luffy. And to Jimbei. Following Ace's death, it reads like a shared reference, subtext that he understands to meaning of perfectly. Luffy lost Ace. He died and he stayed dead. Luffy doesn't want that to happen to his nakama; so he tells Jimbei if he dies...no he didn't. The meaning is implicit.
I always thought Jimbei looks so placid here because he understands exactly what Luffy is trying to convey. He knows the depth of Luffy's heartbreak because he was there. He's the only member of the Strawhats that was there during Marineford. And thinking about it now I'm so glad Luffy has at least one member of his crew that was with him during that time. And that's perhaps another reason why it makes Jimbei such a perfect addition to the crew because HE WAS THERE.
And that’s saying nothing of Luffy’s desperation when he says it. Jimbei (or any other member of his crew, for that matter) dying is out of the question. If this was pre-timeskip, it might’ve read like a quintessential Luffy line. He refuses to accept a future where any member of his crew doesn’t make it alive. Following Marineford, he knows it’s a real possibility. Losing Ace shattered his worldview, and now losing anyone else close to him becomes a real possibility. So his demand that Jimbei not die is not just saying “good luck” or “stay safe” (it is, in a way, but there’s more to it than that) but also he seems to be speaking it into existence. Jimbei cannot die because Luffy already said he doesn’t. It’s not a request.
I was gonna ramble in the tags of another post about how meaningful this scene/panel is to me but it got too long and I was planning on writing a post about it someday anyway so here we are…

I think one of the biggest differences between bangel and spuffy is that angel isn’t a partner to buffy. he’s not even someone she knows that well. he’s not someone she’s ever familiar with, and he’s not someone she can ever fully rely on.
yeah their romance was big and grand and all the things a tragic fairytale romance is. but at the end of the day their relationship is so incredibly surface level. all there is is the idea of love, and not even the real thing.

learn your fucking history
(IMAGE ID: A man sitting in a pew in a church labeled “Modern Who is too political”. Behind him is a person with a gun labeled “Vengeance on Varos’ election subplot”. Behind them is another person with a gun labeled “Genesis of the Daleks’ fascism allegory”. From a hidden corner is a sniper pointing a gun at that person, labeled “Barbara saying trans rights in The Aztecs”.)

Blink is wanted by the Vixens and Troy is wanted by crowds gathered for his victory but is Runt wanted in anything? She’s the apothecary’s granddaughter and the streetrats’ little cousin but she’s not Runt
People don’t cheer her name from bleachers or shout them from behind street corners
People don’t go to her People don’t seek her out
They don’t see her as much of anything
She’s just her gadgets — even those embedded down onto her joints because it’s the only thing her name would ever be written on
She’s just circuit work and metal — anything else would be far too complicated to ever be wanted
I’m gonna edit this when I’m conscious again…… silly goodnight pookies 😊

hello this is out of the blue but do you have any soichello thoughts/takes/headcanons right now. just anything is cool, can be a totally random thought or anything
OH BOY DO I
I’m absolutely awful at putting my thoughts into words and tbh 90% of my thoughts about them in particular are hard to express (also it is ridiculously late at night for me rn) but I’ll try my best. I hope all of these make sense (both in the sense that everything written here is comprehensible and also vaguely makes sense for their characters)
Okay so um. Starting with general stuff
-I enjoy the kind of like,, duality?? of the pairing because on one hand it’s objectively ridiculous and it’s fun to lean into that. On the OTHER hand it’s also fun to take it seriously because you’re then presented with the challenge of making it seem plausible. My personal favourite part of shipping is not so much focusing on canon interactions (although I definitely enjoy that too) but thinking about the potential. What would make these two characters attracted to each other? How would they both feel about that? What would they do about their feelings? And with soichello I feel like it gives me a lot to think about
-(That being said, I DO enjoy their dynamic in canon. The mafia arc is pretty much my favourite part of the series and I love them both as individual characters and in general I just find their interactions interesting. But that’s not the point rn so whatever)
-I definitely think that Mello would have to initiate both the relationship itself and a lot within the relationship because like. Soichiro is MORTIFIED at the concept of being attracted to a man with basically no regard for the law and who is younger than both of his children, and he would certainly not make any attempt to act on it (which IS the sensible choice, but where’s the fun in that??). I also imagine he’d be quite baffled and concerned about it being reciprocated lmao. But in contrast, Mello’s the kind of person to do pretty much whatever to get what he wants, and if he wants to fuck that old man then by god he is fucking that old man no matter what
-Though I can also see Mello being too stubborn and embarrassed about it to do anything so they both just don’t act on it but unresolved tension drives me a little insane so that’s a sometimes thought. I guess it really just depends on how you want Mello to feel about it??
-It’s honestly pretty weird for both of them because they both have lived very different lives and have very different expectations and ideas of what a relationship looks like. Mello feels like he has to have, like, constant control of the relationship (as in he kind of attempts to present it as like. “you are the one who wants this and I am indulging you for my own pleasure/amusement” when that’s not actually really the case) (this is both because he’s not the best with vulnerability but also because he grew up in a particularly competitive environment and has this idea kind of engraved into him that if he is not “above” someone than he is beneath them and therefore inferior. Or something like that idk), which is just... not how relationships work. And I imagine their relationship is built largely on sexual attraction more than anything, and Soichiro just isn’t used to that.
-Despite Mello trying his hardest to seem somewhat nonchalant about the relationship (which kind of fails because he’s very obviously emotionally invested enough to put in the amount of effort he does), he is fond of Soichiro. He was rather thrilled upon discovering that his feelings were mutual, and on the occasion Soichiro initiates literally anything he’s pretty pleased about it.
-Moving onto slightly more specific headcanons, Mello loves biting. I mean he enjoys pretty much anything involving his own mouth but I think he likes biting the most, both for his partner’s reaction and also just because. Nom. Soichiro was initially VERY conflicted about this but decided it was fine as long as he didn’t leave any marks in any obvious places or bite down too hard.
-I feel obligated to include something relating to the cute grey hair line from htr because that’s the one singular crumb of the barely canonical basis this pairing has so,, Mello likes playing with Soichiro’s hair. He’s just sort of weirdly fascinated by it lol
God okay I just looked at the time and I NEED to go to sleep so I think I’ll leave it there for now. Thank you so much for letting me get a small portion of my thoughts down, and again, I hope this makes sense to you. If you ever want my thoughts on anything more specific (or if you ever want to share any of your own thoughts about them!!!) my asks are always open.

fuck it. sneak peek from each of my (main) wips !!
(look at how) i’m scratching at the surface
He doesn’t look dead, is the thing. Sure, there’s a greenish sort of tint to his skin, but that happens with Riz sometimes, too, and he’s pretty notably alive.
who you gonna call? (tentative title tbh but we ball)
The good news is that she’s pretty sure Wendell isn’t the type to murder her. Not after… you know. Everything. It’s just that she worries, sometimes, because she hadn’t really thought Dave was the type to murder them, either, as much as he sucked, but then he went and got possessed and all that kind of changed. Unlikely as it is, it could still happen to any one of them. Hypothetically.
we mend together (gaze to cassiopeia)
The numbers don’t make much more sense a second time around, he finds out shortly, once he returns to the break room and shows Usha the problem he was last working on. She readjusts her glasses, and he pushes the laptop slightly closer to her. He’s not surprised to hear her muttering to herself, or to see the way she gestures, minute enough to hardly be noticeable.
He is surprised by the dark, iridescent purple symbols scrawling across the table of their own accord.
you can sleep while i drive
These are facts of life, have been since he started working at the slowly dwindling movie store months ago. And a little before that, depending on who you ask. The SoCal weather has always been terribly hot in the summer. He’s had a vague crush on Liv since junior year. The box fan is kind of a new installation, actually, after Usha had offhandedly mentioned being too hot and the rest of them had super casually ganged up on Dave until he relented.
i’d run away and hide with you (which isn’t really a current wip but i’m going to come back to it at some point i promise)
“I think,” Liv says contemplatively, stirring the melting milkshake between them, “I might hate my parents a little.”
Wendell gently bumps his leg against hers. “Okay,” he says. “I think I might punch my brothers.”
