I just wanted to say thank you for all your nice comments you leave in the tags of my art! I woke up to like 5 new ones today and it really made my day!

Thank you so much for the encouragement, and I hope I can keep making art you enjoy!

Have a lovely day or night :]] 💖

Omg you’re so so welcome!! And thanks for reaching out! I hope it’s not like overbearing lol. Art/writing engagement on tumblr feels like it’s plummeted in the past few years and when I find an artist I like I have so many thoughts. Just doing my part 🫡 I love LatL , especially Wolfie, Grasshopper, and Puzzle, and I can’t wait to hear more about it (your motivation permitting obviously, lol)!

Say something (Newt x Reader)

Newt wasn’t a man of big words.

That’s what you’ve noticed after a few months in your relationship. You knew that he was rather introvert in company, but you hoped he’d opened up to you after you confessed your feelings to each other. Of course you loved Newt for who he was. And still… He would avoide eye-contact most of the time. He only allowed himself a short peek through his messy hair here and there to look in your eyes.

Showing your affection to him by caressing his hand or neck resulted in akward silence and a motionless Newt.

You sighed deeply as you put the kettle on the cooker.

It was raining outside and you were in the kitchen of your shared apartment in London. You decided to prepare a nice warm cup of tee for your boyfriend who was down in his case, working on his book. You glanced over your shoulder, eyeing the worn-out brown leather as your heart became heavy. You missed Newt. The british wizard spent a lot of time down there latlely. You knew he worked hard, but since you got together it seemed he used his work as an silent excuse for not facing you. And it hurted.

You’ve tried many times to confront him but always decided against it. Newt had his priorities and his work was more important than your insecurity and self-doubt. So you endured the situation for his sake.

“Ahh!”, you scremed as the hot water burnt your hand, leaving a red mark. You held your hand under cold water, numbing the pain. “Look at me, I’m even too dumb to pour some water in a mug…”, you mumbled sadly, imagining Newt kissing the pain away but you immediately got rid of that illusion.

After some minutes you went to Newt’s case, the cup of tee in your hands. You knocked firmly on the lit of his case and waited for a response. Nothing. Balancing the mug in one hand, you climbed down the latter to Newt’s shed.

You were greeted by the niffler who circled you a few times, making you giggle. The little creature was always happy to see you, probably because you’ve passed one of your earrings on to him in the past.

You raised your eyes and met Newt’s back. He was sitting at his table, writing on his manuscript, his quill dancing vigorously over the paper. You stepped closer.

“Newt, I’ve made you some tea”, you spoke softly, trying not to scare him, but he twitched as your voice filled the silence. He looked over his left shoulder.

“T-Thank you”, he mumbled, forcing a small smile on his lips. You gave Newt a smile as well asyou put the mug on his desk. He stopped his doing, staring at your hand intensely.

“What happened?”, he asked, his voice worried. You followed his gaze and saw that your hand was still red. You shook your hand.

“It’s nothing. I just burnt my hand with hot water.” Newt stood up.

“Let me put some healing herbs on it!” He rushed to the other side of his room and began to create a mixture. You observed him, the corners of your mouth twitching.

It was selfish, but you couldn’t deny feeling happy because of Newt’s worries. Then, you took all the courage you had…

“Newt?”

“Hm?”

“Do you love me?”

You could hear the dull clash of Newt’s utensils hitting the wooden ground. He stood still, back facing you as he tried to calm his trembling hands.

“P-Pardon?”, he just said, licking his dry lips.

“What do y…-?” “I’m sorry, just forget it.”

Newt turned around in a sharp move, just in time to caught the hurt in your eyes. It crushed his heart to see you like that, but he lowered his head, staring into nothing. You saw Newt struggeling, his fists were clenched, his lips apart, but he remained silent. You nodded. “I see”, you whispered to yourself, turning around to leave.

“No, wait!” The loud voice of your boyfriend made you almost jump. He walked to you, a faint blush on his freckled skin. Newt took your hand, gently caressing the back of it with his thumb.

You couldn’t averted your eyes from your touching hands, his act making your heart pounding against your chest. He truly had casted a spell on you…

“N-Newt?”

“Forgive me”, the wizard mumbled, voice half-breaking. He carefully applied a green paste on your wound, easing the pain immediately. You looked at him puzzled and Newt wrapped his hands around yours, guiding it to his face to press your hand lovingly against his cheek. The tender gesture turned you into an emotional mess.

“I love you, Newt”, you said, choking back tears. Newt met your eyes, his tears glistening in the dimmed light of the shed. He kissed your hand.

“I-I know… that I’m difficult, but I’m trying to change. I am. I don’t want you to feel… unloved. I’m sorry.”

A little laugh escaped your trembling lips as well as a tear from your eyes.

“I don’t want you to change, Newt! I just want you to… say something. That’s all.”

You cupped his face with your hands, giving him a warm smile. Newt leaned into your touch, closing his eyes for a moment. When he opened them again he looked you straight in the eyes, no nervousness, no hiding this time.

“I love you, Y/N.”

See you! ♡

-A.

[fruitysoupy]

🎵 Even if nobody else sings along 🎵

[fruitysoupy]

I experimented with colours today :] here's those doodles + a couple extra ones

Apple, Puzzle and Seagull :]

And Birdie and Wolfie I used for light/shadow practice!

[fruitysoupy]

100 years later I finally drew all of my AU Links

Say hello to my lads! They're going to be in a comic I've been scripting and planning for about a year now I think? I'm calling it Link and the Links, latl for short!

More info under the cut :]

(this is the old post, consider checking out the new version!)

(please don't tag as LU/Linked Universe!!)

The Plot

The Links find themselves in a mysterious forest that seems somewhat familiar to all of them yet none of them know where they are. Now they have to work together to find their way home. On the way they'll discover a thing or two about each other and grow closer!

The Cast

I could talk about these guys for hours, but to keep it digestible I'll make it short

A bit of info before I get into it - all of them are taken from different points in time after the end of their adventure(s)!

Birdie (Skyward Sword)

18

Roughly 6 hours after defeating Demise

The start of it all. Unbeknownst to himself and the others, the space they find themselves in was created out of his desire to meet the heroes after him. He feels terribly guilty about the curse and very much blames himself for the possible suffering of future heroes. His main goal is to check up on everyone and help where he can!

Grasshopper (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask)

10

4 days after leaving Termina

Somewhat disoriented after his journey still, he tags along simply because he thinks Birdie is an idiot who would get lost without him. He doesn't talk a whole lot but he likes listening to other people's stories

Seagull (Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass)

13

6 months after leaving the domain for the ocean King

He's a real genuine pirate, yarr!! Or so he'd like you to believe. He talks a great deal about his strength and bravery, but really is just afraid and terribly homesick most of the time. He wants to fit in with Tetra's and her crew's toughness so much he might go a little overboard on the act in a way that may or may not end up biting him in the butt.

Choo (Spirit Tracks)

14

6 months after peace returned to new Hyrule

He wouldn't call himself a hero, in fact he'd say it's a miracle he made it out alive. Self-esteem and confidence really aren't his strong suits, he often finds himself dragged along and unable to say no. He is very friendly however, and if you just give him a little space he might even open up to you.

Wolfie (Twilight Princess)

21

4 years after defeating Ganondorf

Left Ordon after intrusive thoughts convinced him he was a danger to his village, now works at Telma's bar as a waiter in exchange for a room. He's responsible well liked, though he's not too fond of himself. He has some complicated feelings about the whole turning into a wolf thing

Apple (A Link to the Past, Oracle of Ages/Seasons and Link's Awakening)

20

Just a few seconds after Koholint disappeared

From one dream right into the next (sorta?) he's understandably disoriented at first. He pushes that aside pretty much immediately though, much more interested in getting to know everyone. He's a kind and soft spoken, weirdly wise sort of guy and near instantly becomes the heart of the team

Wallflower (A Link Between Worlds)

19

4 years after wishing upon the triforce with Zelda

Bitter doesn't even begin to describe this uh.. Pleasant fella. After being bossed around for the better part of his life he doesn't take orders from anybody and is this close to quitting his job as a blacksmith. He hates being stuck here, he hates these strange people, really there's not much he doesn't hate. But that can't be all there is to him...

Puzzle (The Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link)

18

1,5 years after waking Zelda II

Confused, disoriented, but still happy to help and ready for adventure. Though some of the others don't really like him around he's still just as friendly to everyone. Since he struggles to communicate he tends to stay quiet. He appears to be simple minded on first glance, but he'll prove to be a valuable member of the team.

Sprout (Minish Cap)

23

13 years after defeating Vaati

After his grandfather died he retreated into his house and dedicated himself to improving his blacksmithing skills to live up to his grandfather's name, he was quickly forgotten by his community and faded into obscurity. Now he may be the best blacksmith in Hyrule, so good that even the royal guard hires him, but among the general castletown population he's nothing more than a forest cryptid. He only leaves the house when he has to, carefully avoiding people. Not because they disgust him, he just has a major case of social anxiety!

Squire (Breath of the Wild)

14

3 years pre calamity

This absolute rascal couldn't be happier about his current circumstances. These unknown woods are his playground and all of these weirdos are his friends now! Though everyone's pretty sure he's a knight trainee, he insists that he's just a stable hand for the guard. His chaotic and carefree nature surprisingly doesn't get in the way of things as he's eager to help out wherever he can, seeing the whole journey as an impromptu camping trip.

Some funfacts :]

Most of them are neurodivergent in some way!

Birdie and Seagull have ADHD, Grasshopper and Choo are autistic, Squire gets the combo platter AuDHD and Wolfie has OCD

Additionally, Birdie has auditory processing disorder and dyscalculia, and Squire has dyslexia

A few of them also have speech disorders

Choo stutters and Puzzle has cluttering speech disorder

Apple has a weak voice, so after a while his voice gets tired and gets hoarse

Choo enjoys drawings and cartography, two skills that will be very important!

One of Seagull's hobbies is photography! He takes his pictobox everywhere

Wolfie also does entertainment at the bar from time to time! He sings or does card tricks

Sprout knows HSL (hylian sign language) because his grandfather was deaf

Seagull's piratey way of talking is 100% for show and painfully inconsistent

Wolfie speaks in a thick southern (in universe ordonian) accent but he's trying hard to mask it since he moved to castletown

Wallflower absolutely hates Puzzle

Squire's special interest is horses

Birdie is a bit of a doormat so he has the ideas but Wolfie is the one to actually get them through

A number of them are blood related (has nothing to do with the colours of their names in this post, I had to reuse some because there weren't enough orz)

That's all I have for you today! Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed! :]

If any of you have any questions about my Links or AU you'd like answered, my inbox is open!

Have a lovely day everyone!

[fruitysoupy]

Say hello to the Links of LatL!! (again!)

Link and the Links is my Links Meet AU I'm working on a comic for!

There were some design and art style changes I wanted to document and share. I hope you all like it!

Like last time there's more info below if you're interested!

(please do NOT tag as LU/Linked Universe!)

The Plot

The Links find themselves in a mysterious forest that seems somewhat familiar to all of them yet none of them know where they are. Forced to work together in order to get home, they'll discover a thing or two about each other and grow closer!

The Cast

A little introduction to the lads! I'll probably post individual refs/intros at some point and go into more detail there, but for now here's this!

I'm including age, height, how long it's been since their latest adventure ended, and a little blurb about them

Birdie (Skyward Sword)

18

160 cm (5'3)

Grasshopper (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask)

10

125 cm (4'1)

4 days after leaving Termina

Somewhat disoriented after his journey still, he tags along simply because he thinks Birdie is an idiot who would get lost without him. He doesn't like to talk a lot, or communicate with the others at all to be honest. Hopefully he'll warm up to them at some point

Seagull (Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass)

13

145 cm (4'7)

6 months after leaving the domain for the ocean King

He's a real genuine pirate, yarr!! Or so he'd like you to believe. He talks a great deal about his strength and bravery, but really is just afraid and terribly homesick most of the time.
