#Ravio/Shadow

[orgaslink]

Totally ok if it's not your thing, since I kinda believe I'm the only on in the planet into this ship, but, n° 25, kisses in the rain with Ravio and Shadow? Again, no pressure, I just wanted to ask anyway :)

Ooh! I like this one, thank you for the ask! I love Ravio and I love Shadow so why not bump them both together to make kissy noises in the rain?

Hope you enjoy!

Somehow, someway, their worlds had collided and neither could make any sense of why and what for. In many ways, it could be seen as a curse, a nightmare that plagued Ravio’s world and threw the kingdom in shadow. Ravio, however, couldn’t bring himself to see it as anything other than a dream; a dream that was anything but if the cool rain gently cascading over them was any indication of reality.

“Shadow! Wait, I—” Ravio didn’t know how Shadow had ended up here, had no idea when or how these feelings inside of him grew to the extent that they had, but he also didn’t care. The only thing that mattered to him was Shadow, and that said entity had his back to Ravio and was walking away.

Ravio couldn’t, wouldn’t let that happen. Not now, not ever.

He’d stepped out of the shelter they’d taken from the rain, the fine drops quickly gathering to drip down long ears as Ravio reached out for Shadow but was hindered by his own robe and scarf. Something in Ravio’s voice had thankfully made Shadow stop in his tracks, though he still kept his back facing Ravio.

The wet sounds of boots through puddles accompanied Ravio’s panting as he caught up to the other. He wanted to reach out and touch but something held him back; maybe it was his own hesitancy, maybe it was his worry that Shadow didn’t feel the same. All he knew for sure was that the feeling that held him back wasn’t from his own doubt as there wasn’t a speck of that to be find in any fibre of his being.

“Shadow, please,” desperate pleas from a desperate voice filled with the worry that his chance was literally slipping through his fingers like a shadow bathed in light. His Shadow, the one he’d grown so accustomed to, turned to look over his shoulder at the merchant, expression matching Ravio’s own in the hurt his crystal blue eyes displayed.

“Ravio, don’t. I can’t do this; we can’t do this. I’ll only hurt you when I have to leave and I can’t do that to you.” As if that would be the end of both the conversation and whatever this fleeting thing between the two was, Shadow made to walk away again.

This time it was his footsteps hindered, but not by something as mundane as clothing. No, for Shadow it was a steady pressure around his wrist that halted his steps closely followed by the weight of Ravio’s forehead pressing into his shoulder blades.

Shadow’s ears twitched to hear the quiet confession of Ravio’s words over the sound of the worsening rain; they were both getting soaked through, clothes beginning to stick uncomfortably as the rain continued to pour as though the very sky was crying over their situation.

“I don’t care,” words quiet but no less unsure, growing louder and more confident with each one uttered between chapped lips cooled by rain drops.

“I don’t care, Shadow. If we only have now and this moment, then so be it. No, I don’t want to lose you but I would rather make the most of any time that we do have than to regret having let you go without even trying to fight for us.”

A hitch in breath before Shadow shallowed, the swell of emotion in his gut so fierce it made his heart pound. And then the world spun. Or more accurately Shadow spun as Ravio pulled at his wrist to turn Shadow to face him.

Their lips met and nothing else in the world mattered beyond this moment and the two of them, one of Shadow’s hands acting on instinct to cup Ravio’s cheek and bring the two closer together. Right then, there were in a bubble, a bubble of just this two of them and the feeling of each others lips pressed together. Even the sensation of the rain falling over them fading away to the intensity of their moment.

It was Ravio who pulled away first, but not by much, resting his forehead to Shadow’s and sharing the radiated heat of being so close.

“Just… stay. Please.”

A promise in the form of another kiss was pressed to Ravio’s parted lips. “Always.”

[entiqua]

yeahhg doodles (first canvas was drawn with tonta)

[lele5429]

I cannot describe the kaleidoscope of emotions I got from reading @not-freyja ’s “References” before bed time after a long day of academic work.

So I’m going to process this with drawings. This is my first “large scale”-ish fan art project.

Again, if you’ve not read Freyja’s brilliant 19k chapter, go have a wild ride!

Day 1: Mirror

I don't really have the time to do full artworks/renders for Linktober, so I've decided to go down the route of somewhat colored sketches instead. (And then put a shit ton of filters and stuff around it lmao)

I couldn't decide between Midna, Shadow and Ravio for the "Mirror" prompt, because all three of them immediately came to my mind when I first read it - so I ultimately just decided I would immediately burn myself out by drawing all three :D

I did have fun drawing this though, it was my first time actually somewhat finishing a drawing of both Shadow and Midna. (I've started but never finished a number of drawings with them whoops)

(Also all the poses are reference from pinterest lmao)

Reference!

sibling bonding activity

“I won’t judge you for liking your counterpart, Legend. I…”Four pauses, and Legend raises a brow at the smaller while they chew on their words. “I’m no hypocrite.” “Ah?” “My boyfriend. I’ve told you about him. Shadow? He is, in all technicality, my counterpart. He looks almost just like me, with minor differences—like you and Ravio. Except, I hope Ravio hasn’t tried to kill you or take over the kingdom.” “He couldn’t do that if he really wanted to. Did…did Shadow—” “Yeah.” Legend blinks. “Fuck.” Four breathes out a laugh. “Yeah.” “You’re fucked up,”Legend decides with a snort. “You were into him trying to kill you? Seriously?” “He was really funny when doing it, okay? How could I resist a dork who’s that bad at murder?”Four huffs. And if they thought that would convince Legend that they’re sane, they were mistaken.

Why don’t people write more fanfics about Shadow and Midna? Shadow was the one to experience the whole ‘breaking the mirror’ trope first.

They should be besties

Assigning the LU boys as cats or dogs based on the vibes they give me (because I'm bored):

Time – chill stray/alley cat vibes. Like that old scruffy cat that shows up at the doorstep for food and pets and then disappears for three weeks on end, only to show back up like nothing happened

Twilight – dog coded (obviously) feels like a golden retriever to me? He loves attention and making people happy and just overall helping out and being good

Warriors – makes me think of a cat, one of the pretty ones with a long, floofy tail (ragdoll, maybe?) also could fit as like, a trained show dog or something, idk

Legend – spicy cat. He has some of the most stereotypical cat-like behavior out of the whole Chain and I cannot see him as anything but a sassy standoffish cat that secretly likes attention but only in private. He will hiss at you if you try to touch him when he doesn't approach you first

Hyrule – stray dog, probably a mixed breed that just kinda... Exists. Sometimes he likes people, sometimes he doesn't, he just kinda goes where he wants when he wants

Four – cat coded for sure (which feels weird because I don't think he would particularly like cats? Except maybe Vio or Red wouldn't mind them.) I can see him being a very sophisticated type of cat. Like he accepts pets but he doesn't purr often and he spends a lot of his time sitting at a sunny window with his eyes doing that cat squint thing.

Sky – dog coded. For some reason he makes me think of a Shiba Inu? Just very soft and friendly and happy, very affectionate.

Wind – goofy orange cat coded. No more needs to be said

Wild – dog coded. I'm kind of picturing a coyote (because it's Wild) but idk. He definitely gives me dog vibes but I'm not sure exactly what type. He likes people, likes attention, but he also likes running around and getting into trouble soooo idk

Bonus!

Mask – Feral kitten. Hates any kind of affection but he's also the most pathetic little guy that's ever been seen and he constantly has a wet cat look. He will bite you and draw blood

Ravio – he's just that one cat that appeared in your house one day and never left. You've put him outside multiple times but he keeps finding ways in. He will yowl pitifully at you until he gets food and attention. Steals your socks

Malon – border Collie sheep/herding dog. She's good with people, always makes sure everyone's where they're supposed to be and keeps everyone in line

Shadow Link and Dark Link are both black cats, but Dark is the one actively planning world domination while Shadow just gets in trouble for the attention
