#I'm gonna do some investigating on that ribbon I think

[majorproblems77]

Bonus links is back which means so am I! Welcome back to my Comic analysis corner :D

You liked my rambling last time so here I am to once again ramble about this comic I love.

Its a wonderul comic and always so well made. Please go look at it if you haven't, it's well worth it. :D

All comic panels and art belong to @bonus-links and the artist @ezdotjpg. Please go and look at their other stuff too!

Grab some popcorn and a drink, and let's get started, shall we!

First these two, I love this frame right off the bat.

Give me more of these two please I love them okay

Loft looks so worried can you hear the fear i can hear the fear. Poor man give him a break.

Oblatory obsession with SKSW link in various links meet aus.

I love him a healthy amount. I love his design and think about him often.

Oh this frame

This frame is very pretty

I love the golden light in the middle, and how she basically makes up the lower part of the symbol. It reminds me of ribbon. Which is fitting considering we get red string all over this comic. (I still need to go into that at one point)

It makes me wonder if we see the other Zelda's more in this context if they too will get the golden ribbon rather than the red string. As I'm seeing it as a way to show how they are connected like how the links are connected.

Panic mode engaged

I'm living for evil laser eye slate. Straight up looks like hes about to pounce on this man and kill him

Slates thinking face

Fangs?

I love it

I love these two. Interesting how dismissive Wolf is being at this stage. (currently playing through TP so I dont know a lot about the triforce in it but I assume it's still there)

Lots to unpack in this one and i love it

Wake vibing in the rain i can kinda understand.

Wolf just looks kinda done with it tbh and I'm here for it its a vibe.

Slate covering the little fairy pal from the rain is low-key giving me life I love him

And Loft, looking up at the clouds with just pure annoyance in his eyes. Like my man, I know you don't like storms but please the clouds didn't do anything to you. (Yet...)

HES A GRANDMA'S BOY AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

ALSO ALSO

I can hear the music in my head as these actions are being done. Like, they are ingrained into my soul after watching enough wind waker playthroughs.

It's awesome he gets to use it with the melody he's learned. More windwaker melodies please i love seeing them used more

Hold on tight indeed! Cause it's about to get HECKIN WIMDY

Such an excited bean i love him

Help him

Help him so much man has fear

This little picture has me cackling, im sorry loft but omg.

And Slate looks so damn excited for this and honestly he deserves it.

Just his little face

Goddammit linebeck, man is just so done with the shenanigans by now. Impressive he's managing to drink from a cup while they are spinning like that. Man has got some amazing arm control to keep it together.

Tetra and Aryll! Them!!!

Also, can you hear the splash as the ship hits the water? People must be used to hearing the sound of a huge gale, then a massive splash and are just like...

Oh, link must be back again.

Love it

Hope you had fun with me today as I went through this one. More rambling than questions this time around which is nice i love just being excited about characters I enjoy. :D

That's all from me tho, until next time!

[ritcchamadayo]

Hello, there! Heard that you're in need of some ideas in what to write/make. I've got one: some fluffy, romantic headcannons in which Leona Kingscholar's fem! s/o secretly sends him a love letter and some chocolates and Leona searches for the sender of the gifts. How will it end? Please and thanks!

hi there, thanks for sending in an idea~!

Leona would definitely be the type to quietly investigate, such a sweet idea~

Secret Admirer

Leona Kingscholar x Fem!Reader ; On Valentine's day, you decided to anonymously leave a gift for Leona. Leona, taking an interest in the little challenge, tries to find out who his secret admirer is.

"Hm? What's this?" Leona watches from his bed, one eye open. His green eyes glanced towards Ruggie, who was putting down a well-decorated box and an intricate letter on Leona's desk.

"Shishishi, someone left a message for you. I just thought I'd bring it back to you before any of the other students see~"

Leona stood up and walked over to the box, shaking the contents. It was an intricate box with a brown lid, tied with an elegant ribbon. Above it was a simple letter, with a wax seal on top. It smelled oddly like flowers, Leona thought.

"Who's this from?"

"How should I know, I found it out front."

Leona opened the box to see a few rows of chocolate neatly placed, each of them were carefully made and placed inside the box to ensure it arrives to Leona in pristine condition. Ruggie was already halfway trying to swipe a few chocolates from Leona when the lion slapped his hand away, rolling his eyes. "At least be more discreet if you're gonna pull somethin' like that."

Ruggie chuckled and shrugged, walking away from Leona. "Aight, I'll try again later~" Leona took the letter and laid back on his bed, opening the letter with a yawn. "I swear, if this is another weird thing from Falena..."

*To : Leona Kingscholar, Housewarden of Savanaclaw* It may seem a little silly of me to write a letter for you. I am just a simple admirer from afar, writing to you to express my feelings.

I've been in love with you for the past year, Leona. The way you move, the way you counter quick remarks, the way you're always so quick on your feet and wise.. I've fallen for you quite hard it seems.

You're probably wondering who am I, or why would I send you this letter along with the chocolates. Truth is, I couldn't hold back my feelings anymore, but I'm too much of a coward to tell you in person. Please accept my gift and my letter. Perhaps, you can come find me if you wanted. *- Signed, your secret admirer.*

"Hoo, ain't this interesting." Leona smirked, eyeing the letter. It seems like the letter has piqued his interest, as he flipped the paper back and forth looking for more clues. The faint scent on the letter smells oddly familiar to him, further piquing his interest. "Alright, I'll take you up on this little detective game."

---

The next morning, Leona starts his move.

"Oi. Jack." Jack, coming back from his morning jog, approached his senior. "What's up, Leona-senpai?"

Leona waved the letter in his hand, showing it to Jack. "A little visitor seemed to have sent me a gift yesterday... Did you see anyone from outside the dorm enter recently?"

Jack scratched his head, trying to remember. "Um.. I think I remember a few. Like, people who wanted to play around with their Savanaclaw friends. I don't recall seeing anyone coming in to send a gift to you." Leona nodded. "Oh, so that's what the ruckus was yesterday. Just a few herbivores looking for amusement."

The beastman went on to ask a few other people from the dorm, with most of them not knowing anything. He knew he couldn't have asked Ruggie, even if it seemed like the Hyena knew something. Leona considered asking Rook, for one- but he'd rather not have to deal with his eccentric way of speaking.

Perhaps he'd have to go back to more... primitive ways of finding the sender, so to speak. Beastmen do have quite the sharp sense of smell.

Leona simply pretended to go about his day normally. With every passing student, he quickly manages to identify their scents. Some students smelled like a faint hint of flowers, mostly the residents of the Queendom of Hearts. Some students smelled like sweat, meanwhile others smelled like the "tacky and unnecessary" perfume that Vil wore. (Everyone else would beg to differ if he had said that out loud)

"..Hn?" In the midst of walking through the hallways, Leona caught the same exact scent from the letter. He glanced around discreetly, observing who might be around him. It's definitely not coming from the Scarabian students loitering around the hall, and it's definitely not the blonde 3rd year calling him "Roi des Lions" from afar...

Leona's eyes locked onto you, walking past him with your little group of friends. "Hoo... Interesting turn of events. I'll begin my chase then, Herbivore."

---

You had no idea what's going on, but Leona seemed to always be around the corner, trying to chase you down. "W-was it the letter..? Did I say something wrong..?" You thought, but Leona doesn't seem like he's angry or anything.

Leona himself wasn't trying to pull any moves. He kept observing you quietly, every time you pass by him he'd double check if the scent was correct, and he'd steal glances at your notebook to match the letter's handwriting.

Until one fateful day, where Leona finally decides to corner his prey for good. "Hey, Herbivore... Did you know how Lions hunt?"

Leona corners you in between the wall and his body, putting his arms beside your head so you can't try to slip out. "You see... We stalk our prey for a while, cornering them..."

Leona puts his finger on your chin, lifting it up so you'd gaze into his eyes.

"...And after that, they'd pounce for the prey." He leans in, capturing your lips in a kiss. You gasped in shock at first, before melting into the sensation and kissing him back. "Thanks for the little gift, Herbivore. Quite bold of you to think I wouldn't find out, though..."

"See, I like this. This is neat," Freija said.

"You realize you have to walk on this, right?"

The stiff yellow ribbons might have been moving in some stretched out timeline, or frozen in this one, but either way, the winding strips hung woven gracefully through the air amongst a warmly lit field of clouds and sky and floating polyhedrons.

"So? I do have an actual ranged gun, right cos I can see some of those pain in the ass sniper Taken with the shield. Marauders?"

"Maybe."

Polaris Lance appeared in Freija's hand and she lifted it to look. "Oh fantastic, thank you. Anyway, yes, I realize that. I don't care. It's pretty. And there's way more room for error correction than our usual adventures."

"You're about to try to sparrow this, aren't you."

"A little."

~

She didn't make the entire trip, but neither death on this part of the venture involved the sparrow.

Instead, Freija noticed someone on her radar and went to investigate. One time, she rounded a corner to find a Knight shielded by a goblin and swiftly received two holes in her chest. The second, she ran right into a room full of Taken to get shot a few times and then flung into a wall by shield explosions.

Both times, she returned and killed them back and in one case found some loot, so it wasn't all bad.

It was, however, a very long trip.

"You know you can stop, right?" Sunny offered again.

"Yep," Freija agreed as she sidestepped an incoming bolt and answered with her own, making the marauder bubble up and leave her alone for a bit. "I think I'm gonna get my crutches out, though, let's get a good look at my kit when we get somewhere enclosed. You thought about shaders?"

Sunny knew Freija could do it, so she couldn't say she didn't think she'd get the shell...

"I know you'll get me the shell... " she started, "but... I want you to stop. It's just a shell. You're hurt. You're tired. The damage is sticking to your armor in ways that Ada will need to look at. Your hands are shaking, look."

Freija didn't look. "It's here or the crucible, cos I'm getting medals from Eva."

"Crucible matches take ten minutes and you take breaks between them. It's not the same."

The Titan sidestepped and shot the marauder dead. "Fine, bad comparison, but I want to get the shell. I've worked too hard to get to this point, I'm not quitting now. I would still come back and try again later."

She picked off another one before it got the chance to shoot her. "I'm not gonna say I've peaked, but I am gonna say that I'm not gonna get better in ways meaningful here. The only way I'm going to get better here is practicing here. Bet I can make that jump."

Freija drew her sword and swung it as she took off, using the momentum to pull her forward and help her land on one of the hovering platforms. She continued merrily until she reached a ribbon good for walking on and finally a stretch for her sparrow.

Loreley's firmly on head, Xenophage in tow, and the trusted combination of her shotgun and grenade launcher, Freija ascended the "elevator" to 'mat into whatever cube this was. Toland wanted to play tag.

[the-haunted-office]

Kiel was holding a box that has a green ribbon wrapped around it and placed it in front of the broom closet door. He then immediately head back to the mirror world office before someone could spot him. In the box, there was a lighting mane, a Rune Sphere shard, some brownies, and a chocolate cake he just made. There was a letter inside the box as well and it says as follows;

Thursday, I'm sorry about the whole letter situation. I was really worried and...I don't want to lose you. I even thought to myself if I was the one causing you to slowly succumb to whatever it is. But, I know it isn't me that's causing it. If you decided to go with whatever it ails you, then you can go out with a smile. Not sure if you go to the same place where mom is, but can you tell her that I say hi and I miss you? Considering I'm a corrupted employee, I don't think I can die and be able to see her again alongside dad. Besides, I don't think I can stay awake for long, so I'm heading off to sleep in the mirror world office. Sorry if I couldn’t make it to the party, but I did make some brownies and chocolate cake for you to eat. Oh, and there are some items I have Doug get since they're only from Selphia; a lighting mane and a Rune Sphere shard. Well, good luck with your next life! From, Kiel.

At some point afterward Kiel has left, Thursday notices the box down there by the broom closet door. It's definitely out of place among the rest of the office, which is currently a catastrophe.

Regardless, she opens the box to investigate and turns her head to the side a little at what's in there.

Huh. Well. She recognizes the brownies and cake - pretty obvious what those are unless they're one of those fake cakes and/or brownies. Could be, could be. They don't look fake, though.

The other two items... Well, she gets started reading the letter.

It throws her for a loop or two.

She just doesn't know what to tell Kiel to let him know that none of this is his fault. Why is blaming himself so much for this? Because he tried to murder her? She already forgave him!

And as for going to the same place where his mom is... She sympathizes with him, but she really doesn't think she'll be seeing his mom, because where she is going... isn't anything like heaven, or wherever someone like Kiel's mom must be.

The brownies and cake are nice, and she'll definitely be getting into those and sharing them with Cyrus and Stanley and the rest of her friends, but the other two items...

She looks at them. Apparently one is a Rune Sphere shard and the other is a lightning mane, and she honestly can't tell which one is supposed to be or what either of them does. The thought behind them is nice, though, and so she sits and thinks for a minute.

Then she gets out her notebook and this time handwrites a letter back to him:

Kiel,

I am actually the one who needs to be apologizing to you, because you were right - I am dying. I am very sick. And at the end of the next two weeks I will be dead.

I'll be okay, though. I'm not even all that scared. I know what's coming and what I have to do, and there is comfort in that for me. I honestly don't know if I will be able to see your mom, but I will certainly try my best to get your message to her. I mean, what's death gonna do? Stop me? Hahaha.

Thank you for the cake and brownies and the other two things. I honestly don't know what they're used for, but they're cool! I'll keep them right up there on my desk so I can try to figure out their meaning.

Anyway, I really just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry I lied and I acted condescending towards you. I was scared and angry, and it wasn't your fault. And don't blame yourself for what's happening to me - it is completely unrelated to what happened before. It's nobody's fault. It just is what it is.

I'll still bake a cake for you for the party, just in case!

Other than that, have a good sleep!

-Thursday

That done, Thursday has Ghostday open another portal for her. She tosses the letter through, and the portal closes once more.
