Okay, I'm way late on the prompt thing, but if you happen to still take them - or as something to hold onto for later - I'd love to see a little snippet from the ill-fated cruise ship HC Legend worked on!

Hadn’t there… been a storm? What…?

Link squinted against the bright sunlight, feeling sore and overheated, strangely stationary but still somehow dizzy. He heard seagulls, and—

Seagulls??

Groaning, Link opened his eyes, the sun seeming to shine directly into his eyeballs. What had happened??

“Link? Oh, you’re finally awake!”

He knew that voice. “Marin?”

The familiar face appeared in his vision next, red hair nearly radiant in the sunlight. She looked haggard, clothes a little torn, face flushed, hair a mess. “Oh, Link, I’m so glad you’re okay!”

“We’re on a beach,” Link slurred, completely disoriented. “Did we…? Weren’t we in a storm?”

“We were,” Marin answered, shadows covering her face all of a sudden. “We were.”

The heaviness of her tone made him nervous. Sitting up, Link looked around, seeing several life rafts strewn along the beach, alongside a handful of other people in various states of disarray. He felt the bottom drop out of his stomach.

They were… they were stranded, weren’t they?

“The ship…?” He looked at her, asking for confirmation.

She shook her head. “It’s gone.”

He already knew, really. He could put the pieces together. But hearing her say it made him feel his entire world flip. What were they supposed to do? Who had survived? How had he even gotten here, anyway? He just remembered the storm.

“I’m glad you’re okay,” Marin repeated. “When you got thrown I was so worried.”

When he got thrown? He remembered huddling in the medical bay with Marin; they’d both known it was too dangerous to be anywhere on the deck, exposed to the weather. He must have hit something.

“How did I get here, though?” He asked.

“Well, you were awake for a bit, just kind of groggy,” Marin explained. “The captain said the ship was sinking, we all got on life rafts, but the storm flipped some and… we managed to make it here with the rest.”

“And the other medical crew?”

“They’re… they’re gone, Link. They’re all gone.”

Gone?? How could they--he knew those people, had worked with them, they were--

Link grimaced as he moved his arm, staring at a large gash slicing along it. Marin helpfully grabbed a first aid kit, noting, “This is all we have left for medical supplies. This and one other, that is. But… it isn’t much.”

It… he… they…

This was insane. This couldn't be happening.

Shaking his head, Link tried to orient himself to the situation, slowly straightening his posture as he reached shakily for the first aid kit. “How many others are injured?”

“A few,” Marin answered, hastily adding, “I’m okay, though, don’t worry.”

Link looked her over. She was certainly run down, but he didn’t see any immediate signs of injury. Based on her story, they… hadn’t been thrown around too much, right?

Right?

But how had he gotten this wound, then?

Shaking his head, Link tried to focus. “Can you help me triage the others?”

Marin nodded, determined, reaching to help him stand. Link refused to let everything sink in all at once.

They had work to do.

For your ask game: bite 😁

“Ouch, is that where that wolfos bit you?” Wind asked as Twilight unwound the bandages around his leg, revealing a series of angry red bite marks all along his shin.

“Yeah, but it’s not as bad as it looks,” Twilight assured as he began tending to it, earning a smack from Four as he walked by.

“Twilight you could barely walk after we killed the thing, you would’ve bled out if you hadn’t had that potion,” the smithy said with a huff, and Twilight awkwardly scratched the back of his neck as Wind snorted.

Fic Recs - Expanding Hyrule Bingo!

If you're looking for some hot fresh recs that you may not have seen before, boy do I have the post for you!

For the last few days, I have been compiling answers for the @expanding-hyrule TBR Bingo Community Challenge! If this is the first time you're hearing of it, EH is a LoZ fandom project that intends to popularize a tag and create an archive for Original Legends, or LoZ fics, art, etc that create their own version of Hyrule, characters therein, and plot different from the canon games. The Bingo Challenge is a project to get people viewing and talking about more of these stories!

Of course, as a chronic overachiever when it comes to fandom, I got blackout on my bingo card. And because several of the works I counted aren't yet in the Expanding Hyrule Fic Archive, I felt this would be the perfect way to get the word out about even more cool works!

If it has a * asterisk, I had already read or been reading it prior to the announcement of the challenge. If two ** asterisks, I had already read or been reading it prior to discovering EH!

I love Zelda AUs (surprise) and most recently I’ve been reading On My Honor by @pelicanpig

There was this horrifyingly beautiful moment and I could see it in my brain and I needed to make the stuff glow so here we are, enjoy baby Zelda and a magic butterfly. Why was I horrified? Heheheh spoilers you’ll have to read it to find out.

Zelink Mutual Appreciation Ask Game

Hiii I wanted to start a tag/ask game for once in my life and I came up with this one! It’s a way of showing my love and appreciation for all of my Zelink mutuals 😊 Below are the potential asks you can send me! Feel free to send either the emoji or the whole question and I’ll respond with some nice things to say about you :D

👀 Share the story of how we first met, or how you first heard of me

✨ Tell me which of my works (fic or art) is your favorite! 

🥰 Say one nice thing about me

🤔 What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of me?

💞 Guess who my favorite iteration of Zelink is

⚔️ Guess my favorite Zelda game

🙂 Just wish me a nice day :D

You’re welcome to just send one emote, or multiple, or even all of them if you’re daring enough 😂 This game is also open to anyone who knows me and has interacted with me before! As long as I recognize you, I’ll be happy to include you and answer your questions, regardless of if we follow each other or not :) And of course, everyone is welcome to reblog this so they can play it with their own mutuals!

I’m tagging everyone who seems to consistently enjoy playing these games, as well as people I feel that I don’t hear from often enough lol. @onewingedsparrow @mistresslrigtar @linktheacehero (I swear, it feels like almost every tag game I get involved in can be traced back to one of you three, so this is my chance to return the favor 😂❤️) @hylaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa @dubiiousfood @aegon-targaryen @haste-waste @louwhose @lily-alphonse @raccoonfiend95 @daemosdaen @leiladebees @abbyz-elda @bahbahhh @aurathian @ranjuharukareon25 @summonerluna @aheavenscorner @pelicanpig @hyylia

Captain Link Araki and the Harbinger of Destiny by @mistresslrigtar

Pirate Adventure | Mature | AO3 | Ongoing

Synopsis: Down on his luck pirate, Link thinks his ship has come in when the fallen King Gustaf Harkinian implores him and his crew to rescue his daughter, Zelda, before she's forced to wed the usurper of the crown, Ganondorf Dragmire. Link isn’t as interested in a princess, all prim, proper, and boring as he is in obtaining treasure beyond his wildest dreams. However his tune quickly changes when he sees her. Too bad she thinks he’s a dirty rotten scoundrel.

Content Warnings: Implied Sexual Content

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Link Araki, confident pirate captain of the King of Red Lions, has only ever sought comfort, security, and riches for his men. But when an exiled king and a sassy princess step into his life, he is swept away on a journey of daring sea battles, dangerous adventures, and love in unexpected places. This story has one of my favorite characterizations of the Hero that we have come to know and love. Charming, sassy, and a little bit cocky, he is a perfect match for the capable princess who seems to be able to thwart him at every turn. There is action, there is romance, and there is a spirit of adventure that gets right down to the heart of the story of the Legend of Zelda. Amazing fic, and I can’t wait to read more! -abbyz-elda

Daring, bold, and witty! Captain Link Araki is a story that grabs you from the start and doesn't let go! I love seeing Link in a different sort of spotlight as one of Hyrule's most wanted pirates, and Zelda is portrayed with equal amounts grace and spunk, holding her own against Link's antics. The writing is phenomenal and the story is thrilling! - pelicanpig

The characterization and interactions throughout this story are so enjoyable to read and charming! If you like banter, development, and character relationships, I highly recommend this work! - Nocturne

This story is absolute, sheer fun. Link is a pirate here, and he's a naughty boy, and he's just a really loveable scamp. And a new Groose is along for the fun too! The banter alone is great. Every chapter so far is just an absolute joy to read. There's action, there's fun, there are PIRATES what more do you need? And fear not, Link still has a destiny waiting for him, whether he wants it or not. This Link is a super believable and endearing character (for a fantasy pirate with a heart of gold under all the sinning), and you'll just want to come along for the adventure with him and his crew. - Karama9

A thrilling ride through and through, with a fantastically charismatic and compelling Link to follow. The arc of this story is a ride, and it's fantastic to watch this hero on his journey from devilish scoundrel to the destiny we're expecting him to find. A true high seas adventure, through and through! - amelias-hart

WiP Word Game, Round Two

Thank you @pelicanpig for the tag 💜

Okay, so let me repost the rules: You are given a word - share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that starts with each letter of that word!

With that out of the way, let’s get into it! The word that I received for this round is “Love”.

L: Link pulled back. His answer came easily, without hesitation. “The very top— you, Princess, are the entire thrill.”

O: Outside, the sky darkened, blanketing the grounds in a dismal gloom. It almost seemed to be nighttime; what feeble sunlight there was could easily pass for moonlight. Discontent to stay silent forever, the patter of raindrops plinked against roof— slow at first, the kind that wouldn’t even dampen your head if you had been caught in it. Swiftly, it built to a torrent, bleeding tears from the heavens upon the palace.

V: “Very well.”

They did not return to their respective dormitories until just before dawn, and the pile of books was not entirely to blame.

E: Edelgard scowled and looked away. She could deny it— scold him for being impertinent. Lie. Hadn’t she been doing just that since she had learned of their predicament?

Eeeeee, this is so much fun! This time, I’m tagging @abbyzwrites , @bahbahhh , @wouldyoustilllovemeifiwasawyrm , and @orangekoalaracer with “sublime”.

What y’all got? 👀👀👀

[skyloftian-nutcase]

Recently consumed basically all your LU in healthcare content, and the fact Legend has helped deliver two babies is sticking with me. In my head, he panics those first two times, but when he and Wars end up helping with a delivery in the ER and Wars has a freak out, he plays it totally cool like "what? You've never delivered a baby before?"

Anyway, thanks for the brain rot. I will cherish it always ❤️😂 happy Sabbath!

Hahaha yes, Warriors would absolutely freak out, childbirth is not at all in his comfort zone. Legend would take charge, be comforting to mom and handle the situation well, and Wars would have to admit defeat. For the next month, at least, anytime Wars tries to tease Legend he’d come back with some quip about the incident. “Oh, yes, at least I’m a competent ED nurse and don’t have a meltdown just because a woman’s giving birth,” and things akin to that 😂

[skyward-floored]

It's World Kindness Day! 🐈🐕 I hope you get to snuggle an animal today!

I did! My kitty Pocket sat on my lap for a while today and I cuddled with her :) I also scooped Silver Blur (another cat) and gave her some nice snuggles <3

I hope you got to do the same!

[luna-loveboop]

Hi!!

Another amazing October has gone. I'm not going to add on much, I think I said this well last year.

But please know that I meant and mean every word just as strongly- I love every artist and writer so much. Whether you did the October challenges or not, your art is amazing and wonderful- thank you so so much for sharing your gifts with me.

I'm going to again tag all the artists and writers I know and can think of- to say thank you!!! You and your art matter so much to me and everyone.

Yall have given me such a beautiful month! These month challenges, all the October ones, febwhump, prompt challenges throughout the year are so incredible... thank you guys. Thank you for your art and giving. This isn't over. We're still here together telling stories, and that's one of the most beautiful things l've ever seen.

If yall want to add on tagging each other again, thanking your friends and artists... I would love that.

There's one phrase I said last year that sticks in my mind... that artists and writers keep storytelling alive.

And you... or we.. do. I never thought I would receive enough acceptance on here to feel comfortable posting my art, but my artist friends encouraged me, and I too participated in linktober this year.

The ability to share my art in a month-long challenge proved to be such a blessing. Maybe we all can keep telling stories. Because in a world of such craziness with media, being able to come to this little corner of it, and see art and writing for free... well it's been a year and I can't say l've stopped being awed by it. By all of you. Whether you do any prompt challenges or not, and whether you finish them or not. Art and writing matters, and it matters so much that we're here enjoying creations together. Everyone deserves appreciation and love- so here I'm saying- I appreciate you and I love you.

Thank you guys. Here's to insane challenges, and years of art together:

Wait...

It's November. It's November first. Yesterday was October 31st, so October is over. ...it's over. Is it over?

Inktober, artober, whumptober, flufftober, linktober, every tag ending with -tober that's been circulating for the past month... is it over? I don't know why it's just hit me but...

This matters. So I will try to get the message across, even though I'm not the best at it sometimes

Fanartists, fan writers, artists, fic writers, people making comics, every single one of you that has created art for the past month...

Thank you

This is my first October on tumblr. When I started seeing the "tober" tags, seeing the posts from artists with wips, saying they were going to make something every day to a prompt, making masterposts to update with each day, I thought "cool"

But every day this month, I have gotten on here and smiled.

And I don't mean smiled. I mean I smiled at least 20 times every time I got on the app because I saw all the art and fics. I got to see artists/writers connect stories through different day prompts. I saw people having the most brilliant ideas and creativity, flowing from their hands into their posts. I saw artists responding to continuous asks, telling them how amazing they are. I saw artists getting behind, and keeping going.

I saw Free. Beautiful. Emotional. Amazing. Original. Creative. Art.

Every day

I haven't committed to anything of this before, so I can't directly relate to what you guys were thinking and feeling. But I'm willing to guess; I think you probably enjoyed it, because most won't do such a huge project unless they enjoy it. I think you probably saw it as a challenge you were willing to fulfill, and an opportunity to grow and develop your skills.

... but I'm also willing to bet you did it for us. For people like me, who love art, but don't do this specific type, who are in fandoms, who love tracking and watching you art and sending you compliments, who take joy in your work. For the other artists (and writers!) who admire each others styles and love to learn from each other.

If anyone ever tries to tell me that humans are inherently evil again, I will strap them to a chair, pull up these posts and say look. Look at what these people did. Look me in the eyes and tell me these sorts of actions don't come from the most loving hearts. Tell me these people don't want to make others happy, that they aren't inherently good. And I will tell you you're wrong.

I have so much going on, yet somehow it slipped into my life that I was constantly looking at your art for the joy of it without me even noticing.

And how is it possible. That we have such a beautiful community of people here that we will share. And communicate. And exchange compliments. And literally do things and send asks solely for the purpose of making someone smile.

I'm almost crying by now. God I can't express it well enough! But I am so. So. Grateful

You guys brought me a month of joy! You gave headcanons, and art, and stories!

Even yesterday, Halloween, I was blown away. Because I had expected... I didn't expect anything. And then I log on and see people sending happy halloween asks, exchanging doodles of candy, and headcanons and gifs.

And some are still catching up to the schedule or whatever, and that's ok! But at the beginning of this post, when I was simply realizing it was November, I asked myself "is it over?"

Is it over?

... I don't think so. I've seen artists say they're going to continue and expand on a piece they made and especially liked this month. Some people are still continuing, catching up to a voluntary deadline. All those masterposts with your whump/fluff/link/ink tober art? I know many as well as myself will be going through, looking over your posts with smiles, catching up on some things they missed this month... it will continue in the people and artists I didn't know existed before, but now follow. In the skills and growth in creativity! In the community we've grown, and art you've made, and the art to come, at a normal rate like every other month, even if it's not October anymore!

But my artists, writers... thank you so much. I don't know if you guys know how valuable and amazing you are. How incredible it is that you exist! People say it's amazing we exist under a sky of such stars, but how incredible is it that you made a stranger on the internet smile every day! Your life is so. So. Valuable. I can't even express how grateful I am that you exist, that you somehow are selfless enough to share the most beautiful parts of yourself simply to create, and to create joy. Thank you so so much.

(And this applies to all artists, in any fandoms, not just mine. And I'm just as grateful to people who couldn't do something every day, or only one day! You still share your art, you're just as... incredible. You are incredible.)

Okay.

So I'm gonna do this, and if others want to do it in the reblogs that's great! I do not care at all about reblogging or likes, but I want to make the people that have brought me such joy some appreciation- I hope I can bring you even a smidgen of the light you have brought into my life. So I'm gonna tag all the artists/writers I know of/can think of that have done any sort of October challenge, all of you creators that have made me smile. If people wanna want to tag others in the reblogs or replies to spread love that's cool.

(Basically I don't know social customs or anything at all, so if you don't want me to tag or if I was supposed to do something different or something let me know I have no idea what I'm supposed to do)(if I like accidentally tagged someone who isn't an artist/writer or forgot someone I follow... sorry)

@skyward-floored @kikker-oma @adrift-in-thyme @blueskittlesart @zeldaseyebrows @smilesrobotlover @bahbahhh @soso-dedeck @lennsart @arecaceae175 @illcamp @breannasfluff @solarfire-art @26kabeuchi @cathianemelian @truffeart @scribbly-z-raid @uniquevoidflowers

To all the artists and writers out there: thank you so much!!! You are amazing and I'm glad you exist. Your life is precious, and you matter. Thank you so much for sharing your beauty with us, we love you too!!!!!

... yeah. Just want yall to feel loved... because you are. Again, thank you. Thank you so so much to my beautiful creators who create joy as well as art, who keep storytelling alive. Just... thank you.

:)

O - One hand still to his hip, Link wave with an open palm as the king returned to his throne.

V - Voice still lowered, she asked, “Do you know how cold it was in that room last night? When we’re next to a volcano?!”

E - Easier said than done as Zelda’s icy glare caught him in passing.

I can't think of very many other folks at the moment in this fandom, so I'm going to breach containment and pass this over to some folks in another fandom so they can have fun too and we can keep the chain going (hello, it's WOJ): @centeris2, @sso-noodlelord, @treeganart, @dorianwolfforest, @hobbithorsewhat, and anyone else who'd like to tackle this from either fandom. Your word is MAGIC.
