May I present: Hyrule and Legend meeting manatees <3

Legend had been injured. Hyrule could immediately tell - if the blood in the water wasn't indication enough, the fact that his friend hadn't breached the surface after doing so several times was indication as well. There had been some beasts they'd run into, and the monsters in the water had managed to land a hit on the traveler, who was unable to get a clear shot at them while he fought the bokoblins surrounding him. Legend had used his magical mer tail item to leap into the water and eliminate the threat.

And now Hyrule had to go after him. With the bokoblins defeated, he wasn't sure what monsters were left in the lake, but he knew he needed to help Legend.

Except he was a terrible swimmer. He mostly relied on a raft for a reason.

Well. The monsters were a good reason, honestly. But his poor swimming ability didn't help.

Gritting his teeth, Hyrule tossed his raft into the lake and leapt aboard, scouring the clear waters below. It didn't take long to follow the trickling trail of blood to its source.

Legend broke the surface quickly upon noticing the traveler, and he immediately started to wave him off dismissively. "I'm okay, Traveler, relax. It's just a scratch."

"It's bleeding a lot for a scratch," Hyrule argued. "You gonna climb aboard and patch it up, or do you need my help?"

Legend glanced into the water again. "No, I... well here, come look. There are some creatures down here."

Hyrule cocked his head to the side. "Like monster?"

"No, not monsters, not everything is a monster."

"Then what--"

Hyrule cut himself off as he saw a large grey mass float lazily by Legend. When he saw more movement, he turned and noticed his raft had been entirely surrounded.

They... weren't monsters, right? The veteran hero had said as much. The round, blubbery animals gently swam in circles around them, nudging Legend's tail curiously with their noses. The veteran giggled each time they did.

Hesitantly, Hyrule dipped his hand into the warm water, and one of the creatures bopped its nose against his palm, staring at him with big eyes. He smiled at it.

"What are they?" he asked.

"I honestly don't know," Legend answered. "But they're at least friendly."

The traveler managed to reach far enough to carefully pet one, and it slowly rotated so its belly was up. He laughed in delight before spluttering as Legend dove under the water again to play with the creatures.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS

[artemistorm]

I’ll give you a few in case some have been used, but all you have to do is one, just pick the one you want! :)

Warmth

Flower

Bereavement

I went with "flower." I must admit, I cheated a little bit, this scene was half written in a draft and I completed it. It's from a fic called Hell Hath No Fury. (546 words)

******

When the last monster was destroyed at last, Fierce Malon returned to the porch where Time lay curled around his damaged ribs and arm. She stood before him pale and serious, her hair long and faintly pink, her armor stained with monster blood, both red and black. She dropped the broken pitchfork unceremoniously on the ground next to the helix sword she’d inexplicably discarded at the beginning of the battle.

“Give me back my wife,” Time growled. “You can’t have that body as your vessel!”

Then the being spoke with two voices, the deep powerful voice of the Deity and the sunny voice of Malon:

“I control the mask. It does not control me.”

“M—Malon?!”

“Do not fear. I shall return to you soon as the one you know, but my task is not yet completed.”

To his surprise, she picked him up and carried him in her arms to the protected side yard and laid him amongst the meadow flowers.

“I will bring the children to you,” she said. “Tend to them.”

One by one she collected the fallen young heroes from their scattered positions on the battlefield and laid them side by side in the grass. Time took a red potion then went to work examining each of his boys, resetting broken limbs, removing arrows and knives from their bodies, applying pressure and binding wounds.

From inside the house Fierce Malon collected every single bowl, cup, and pot and laid them around and between the heroes, filling them with sugar water and berries.

The fairies descended like an evening mist, glowing and chiming softly, flitting from boy to boy healing their injuries and then settling in the bowls. One by one, the boys woke up, bewildered at how they were still alive and the farm was still standing.

“Wh-what happened?” Legend asked propping himself up on his elbows.

“She did,” Time answered and motioned to Fierce Malon who stood near the property line in front of the house staring into the bonfire of burning monster parts and weapons. Time helped the young heroes into the house to rest, then cautiously approached her.

“Malon…?”

“My task is complete,” she said without averting her eyes from the fire. “You may take the mask.”

“As you wish,” Time said. He stood between her and the fire, reached up and gently removed the mask from her face. As soon as it fell away, her body reverted to its original form and Malon stumbled back. Time dropped the mask and quickly grabbed her arms before she could collapse.

“Are you alright?” He asked urgently scanning her form for any sign of injury, but there was none.

“I’m fine, just tired,” she smiled. “Are you and the boys okay?”

“Yes, yes we’re all fine, thanks to you.”

“That was… that sure was something,” Malon giggled.

“How…?” Time asked, amazed that she had bent the mask to her own will. From where did her power come?

“I think I need to sit down,” Malon said starting to lean over.

“We’ll worry about it later,” Time said more to himself than to her. “Let’s get you inside.” He picked her up just as she had picked him up not long ago and carried her inside.

I just stumbled upon my old chemistry notebook and it made me think of you

I barely even remember what all this means anymore, but the Vietnam flashbacks were still real 🤣

Hhhh the chemistry wars are real and going on right now 😔 thank you for your wisdom, veteran soldier 🫡

[howl-at--the-sun]

Writing Hyrule is a struggle but I did what I could

Hyrule & Twilight :D

The air glowed brilliant amber as the sun pierced through the multicolored leaves. Fall was in full swing with its chill heralding the approach of winter, and the trees were shedding so quickly in preparation that it was practically raining leaves. Twilight heard music carrying on the breeze, bringing Sky and Legend's whimsical tune as Wind played conductor. Smiling, the Ordonian continued his trek through the woods, enjoying the scenery and the scent of damp earth and the sounds of crickets chirping gently in the oncoming dusk.

As another gust of wind blew more leaves to the ground, Twilight looked up to appreciate the view and noticed a figure sitting in one of the trees. Eyebrow raised, he almost called out to Wild when he realized that the person wasn't his feral protégé at all. Instead, it was Hyrule.

"Traveler?" Twilight called, a little curious what his brother-in-arms was doing.

Hyrule looked down at him, eyes a little wider than usual, and then he relaxed. "Hey! Do you need something?"

"I was just wondering what you were doing."

"Scouting," Hyrule answered. "This is how I usually did a first sweep of an area before exploring. Helps to see landmarks and all."

Twilight chuckled to himself. "Do you ever use a map?"

Hyrule bit his lip. "Not really. I don't get why everyone is so insistent on one. I can keep track of things in my head."

"Yeah, sure, that's why you get lost all the time."

Hyrule pouted mildly and then gave a cheeky half smile. "You should try exploring without one sometime."

"Well, let's see if I can try your method," Twilight said, gripping the tree and beginning to climb to reach his friend. He wasn't as agile at climbing literally anything like Wild, but he could haul himself up most trees and cliffs. He did have to build his own home in a tree, after all.

Once he reached Hyrule's perch, Twilight settled beside him, enjoying the bird's eye view. Close to the top of the tree line, he could see mountains in the distance, capped with misty clouds that hid their jagged peaks, as well as a village nestled comfortably in the valley a little ways down from their area. The amber glow of the forest reminded him so strikingly of the twilight realm that he felt his mind and heart grow burdened with a sadness so heavy he might as well have had a moblin sitting on him. He felt his shoulders sag.

"You okay?" Hyrule asked.

"Yeah," Twilight answered quietly, lowering his face so his hair hid his tear-filled eyes. "Just... something I should be over by now, I guess."

Hyrule remained silent, watching him uncertainly, and then Twilight huffed out a small laugh, sighing and wiping his face tiredly. "It's okay."

"It doesn't seem to be," Hyrule noted.

Twilight swallowed thickly, letting the cool air banish the flush from his cheeks. "Maybe so. But... well... the old man once told me that healing isn't linear, and I... forget sometimes."

Hyrule's unassuming gaze lingered on him a moment longer before staring off into the trees once more. "Life can be devastating sometimes... but it's amazing how resilient people can be. I've seen so many people and places healing after all the damage Ganon did to my world. It gives me hope and pushes me to keep moving forward. It's hard to not linger on the bad things, but if you can find good to focus on and continue with, then it makes all the difference, you know?"

The ranch hand smiled at the traveler, broken heart a little fuller. "Spoken like a true Hero of Courage."

Hyrule glanced at him again, caught off guard, and then he laughed sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Oh, well, we're all heroes here, Rancher. I know you've got a strength like no other that drives you forward."

"We're all heroes, yes, but sometimes we need someone to help us too," Twilight reminded him with a hand on his shoulder. "I'm glad I have you."

Hyrule was at a loss for words for a moment, and then his face reflected the glow of the sun, eyes alight with care. "I'm glad I have you too."

LOFTY THIS IS SO GOOD

I'm not going to lie I started to tear up a lot when Twilight was talking about healing not being linear and missing Midna. That really hit close to home. This whole thing is wonderful and thank you so so so much for writing this for me.

[squigglywindy]

Breaking the curse on myself.

…Why wouldn’t I want this curse? In what world would I want to be un-frogged?

[bokettochild]

Hi Ketto! :D I feel like I haven’t chatted with you in ages, I hope you’ve been doing ok! ❤️

Holding in there okay! The back to school shopping seems to be easing off so it's getting better!

[telemna-hyelle]

LOFTY I WAS LITERALLY ONE SECOND AWAY FROM CHOKING ON MY SODA HELP

Hm, maybe Lana would’ve had a bigger chance with Link if she’d had red hair

AGH FASHION DESIGNER SUGURU AND MODEL SATORU W A NEW INTERN DESIGNER UNDER THEIR WING 😞😞☹️ - 🌺

WAHHHH I LOVE THIS 🥺🥺🥺 the pining and flirting and slowburn of it all… model!satoru and his favorite designer suguru geto, both of them undeniably skilled and born with an eye for fashion….. well-known and adored……..

designer!suguru who gets tasked with showing you the ropes, who’s always so patient and kind despite your inexperience. diligent with his teaching but also so laidback, so easy to talk to… he looks intimidating, but he’s so polite that you can’t help but swoon a little. and he admires your enthusiasm so much…… grows fond of you soooo quickly bc you’re just such a breath of fresh air compared to the divas he’s forced to work with all the time. he thinks you’ve got real potential and he wants to nurture it.

and ofc you end up running into model!satoru eventually…. bc he’s always hanging around suguru whenever he gets the chance. and he’s maybe a little jealous that you’re hogging so much of his personal designer’s attention, but… he also thinks you’re so cute . T_T like a little puppy following suguru around… so excited to be apart of what you’ve dreamed of for so many years……… he looks into your eyes and sees the same sparkle he had before he made it big, and it makes his heart race.

yeah . i’m just thinking abt the peaceful coffee breaks with suguru….. how he’d insist on paying for your drink, ”since he’s your senior” (he wants to be your favorite </3)…… and how he’d just be so protective over his little intern. don’t get me started on the close proximity with satoru when you’re taking his measurements, the glance and smile he sends your way during an impromptu shoot… the way he always calls for you with a sweet coo of ”how’s my favorite intern doing today?”

😔😔😔 yeahhhhhh. they make me feel ill.

[gothsuguru]

I’M FEELING INSPIRED!!!!!!

[telemna-hyelle]

Tellie, if all your Ravios were put in a band, who would play what instrument? Or who would suck at playing any instrument?

Ooooh excellent question!

What kind of band? is this a modern band or more of an orchestra, or something along the lines of do I think the Ravios canonically play music, and if so, what?

We'll get the two obvious ones out of the way first:

Ages plays the harp (of ages, to be exact) as a part of his adventure. If he was in a modern band, I think he'd play guitar.

Flame: in his adventure, he played the Flamecharmer, which is a magic flute that can control fire. So, he plays the flute! I can't really imagine him playing anything else.

Sea: he plays a mandolin. If he was in a modern band, he'd probably back Ages up on guitar.

One: i feel like he may play the panpipes. The micori might have taught him! If he was in a modern band, though, he'd probably play electric guitar, or perhaps be the percussionist.

Myth: i can't imagine he plays music. He might sing, but i think he would probably fulfill the role of conductor.

Sol: He plays the harp, too! I'm not sure what he'd play in a modern band, though. Nothing quite feels right. Not guitar. Maybe still harp?

Magic: He plays the piccolo! This would go for a modern band too.

Lorule: I think he can play the ocarina, but nothing more complicated than that. If he was in a modern band... he might play the banjo, or the harmonica, or the triangle XD

Swords: He plays the harp, too! I feel like he'd play trombone or french horn in a modern band.

Realm: I feel like he'd play the ocarina. Something small that he could easily carry with him. As for a modern band... maybe an oboe or clarinet.

Easy pizza!!!

Invented by yours truly, at 11, one day while Mom was out shopping and I needed to make my own lunch and didn't want a sandwich. So, basically, so easy a 11 year old invented it.

Ingredients:

Soft tortillas

Pizza sauce (leftover spaghetti sauce works in a pinch, or if desperate, ketchup with pizza herbs like oregano, basil, and garlic)

Cheese (shredded works best, sliced works too)

Directions:

Take the tortilla, spread sauce on with a spoon, and sprinkle cheese on top. If you're feeling fancy, you can toss on other toppings. I often use bacon bits. You can also add spices liek garlic or red pepper flakes to dial up thr pizzaness

Then microwave it on 9 for a minute or more as needed, and voila, pizza!

It will be a bit floppy, but no less good. If you want a crisper one, just toss it in the toaster oven or thr actual oven. I don't bother tho, my mom is thr one who does it that way sometimes, so I don't know the times. It's probably only for five minutes or so on 350 or smth.

And then, enjoy! Nice easy pizza 🍕 <3

Wolf Link wants everyone to share easy recipes so we can all make sure we eat! Uli will ensure the house doesn’t burn to the ground 👍🏻

There’s a strange new stray kitty at my rescue squad

I would say "cute!" but I'm having trouble making heads or tails of the cat.

...

Wait.

Is that a skunk??

Feels like the universe is converging to tell me that I should try to read the original Shiki novels

HELLO AGAIN

I just wanted to say I remember like a year or so ago the first time I saw you draw Rusl - it was for a Link Between Links post, I believe - and I remember you remarking that he was incredibly hard to draw. And now you draw him so much!! I just wanted to point out that you're a very talented artist and you're doing great. :) Love your art

DBSKSHSKSBSK THANK YOU 🥺🥺🥺🥺 here let’s do a comparison :>

When I first started drawing him

After drawing him more

I mean I admittedly incorporated his design into my style and… kinda made him off model. But honestly if I ever tried to draw him more on model I’d probably die. But yeah, he’s still more difficult to draw but he’s muuuuch much easier than before and I clearly got more comfortable with drawing him ☺️

[telemna-hyelle]

chill time and snuggles sound nice. i've been a bit wound up lately

Cuddle pile with blankets and pillows and soft lights??
