#Link as a Pokemon trainer

[cheshire-writer]

Did anyone ever think about this: botw/totk x Legend of Arceus? It goes maybe like this:

Arceus: Oh no, I've got this slightly disillusionised, scheming, angsty drama queen teaming up with this slightly more minor diety than me and they may or may not end up tearing holes into my creation.

Arceus: Hylia, my bestie, whatever shall I do?

Arceus: I'm thinking of borrowing a protagonist somewhere and giving them amnesia so that they'll do my bidding...

Hylia: ...

Hylia:... you know what, I've got just the guy for you.

Hylia, mind vibing with Zelda: Descendant, my mortal self, Zelda, my dear, there's this friend of mine who's somewhat in a pinch -

Zelda: You're not borrowing Link.

Hylia: He can keep a version of the purah pad/sheikah slate and the data he records goes to one of your labs.

Zelda: You're still not getting him.

Hylia: That friend of mine lives in an entire different time-space.

Zelda: ...

Hylia: Different plants and creatures and people and magic/technology -

Zelda: Deal!

Zelda, slightly embarrassed: But I've got conditions.

...

Hylia, to Arceus, offering Link: Here, take this, it's dangerous to go alone deal with time-space issue on your own.

Link, in Hisui: ...I'm supposed to let these fluff / cute / weak thingies fight for me?

Link, stick in hand, bunch of wild pokemon defeated at his feet: Why in the name of Hylia would I do that?

(Later, when the pokemon get bigger and stronger and his weapons stay sticks and maybe the occasional Traveler's Sword Weapon/hunting knife/what have you, warms up to using pokemon the way he fights with the Champions)

Link, seeing a Ponyta for the first time, five minutes before burning himself trying to ride it: I'm naming her Spicy.

Meanwhile, back in Hyrule, the science trio having access to Link's inventory: What is this and this AND THIS???

The science trio, serving as the farm area: WHAT ARE THESE THINGS???*delighted* (No, Link is never getting a single pokemon back from them)

Meanwhile, back in Hisui.

Link, seeing flaming horses and sea dragons and walking plants: If Zelda wants some of these for herself/science/to rebuild Hyrule, they better be trained well. *proceeds to teach them come, stay, and let-me-deal-with-this, and, showing them a picture of Zelda, be-good-for-this-person*

Link, watching an Alpha terrorize its surroundings, thinking of the Yiga: These are going to be her new royal bodyguards until I get back.

Hisui gets a culture shock. In the future, it shall be known as the only region where trainers literally fight side by side with their pokemon.

Link gets new recipes, new ingredients, a new region to explore, gets to get Zelda like 100/10-30k+ years worth of birthday presents, gets to help rebuild Hyrule (indirectly), gets to play with new toys, NEW CLOTHES, and doesn't even have a murder cult after his blood. Almost a vacation if the apocalypse wasn't looming, but hey, can't have everything.

(Henceforth, Pokemon inhabit Hyrule, making life significantly easier for the next Hero.)

dont you wanna be the best ?

Your silent protagonist doesn't have to use sign language btw. They don't have to write things down, either. They don't have to use language at all. Not every single person who doesn't talk can use words the same as you, or use them at all, so your favorite silent character shouldn't have to use what you consider a grammatical language to communicate in your fanart and fics. AAC exists. Drawing exists. Gestures and body language exist. Btw.

all the logic in heaven and earth can't stand up to this bond i know the ending will be a happy one

i am a very strong proponent of " we should've been able to hug kieran in the underdepths " so it was only a matter of time before i drew this. also, there's no way florian wouldn't be crying as well.

[cappiecarp]

hi everyone i present to you the most self indulgent art i have ever drawn because if i dont sate my link click trio x johtrio worms i will never know peace

⌛️ Paradise AU - Arven

THANK YOU FOR THE 600 FOLLOWERS!! I hadn't realized, oh god, really thank you very much for the support everyone!!!

Arven, 20 years old. Raised mostly in the depths of Area Zero. He is completely aware of AI Sada (who was initially a babysitter of sorts). He is currently working with Nemona. He is not the kindest person at the beginning, he absorbed the personality of a Sada frustrated by her partner's abandonment after her birth. He is egocentric and basically a walking red flag at the beginning. (He heals after this, but I think it is necessary to comment on this. He didn’t live a normal childhood so he is not necessarily the best person).

Working on a Fanfic about this AU! You can read the prologue here.

I like to think due to all Gus personas having electric spells, Ryuji has an electrical charge within his body.

This means he can stick a charger or plug in his mouth to charge his phone or laptop. Is this realistic? No. Is it funny? Yes.

Gus?

But hell yeah, personas with side effects my beloved! surprisingly underutilized? or maybe im looking in the wrong spot.

Look at some of the ponies I made in pony town.

tbh I really don't see Malva as a gossip beyond like, what she does on her own free time. She's a news anchor, not a gossip columnist, and honestly I think it's a far more insidious portrayal of the media to show that she's not leading smear campaigns, it's the spin-doctoring of "objective" facts. She reports on the attack on the Pokeball factory, but conveniently leaves out who committed it.

Her portrayal in the game also lines up pretty close with that character concept sheet in that she presents a calm, respectable (if a little arrogant) persona as a front; she's not going to want to be seen as someone who is a controversial figure, because she wants to be someone who people accept their information from without question.

I like her being messy as much as the next person but I do think it's worth taking her more seriously as a journalist, for all the good and bad that career has the potential for.
