Day 48. The Lightning Temple Remains

Well, that source of history’s lost forever, but at least the gibdos are shrivelling in the sun, the ghosts are put to rest, and Riju found a cool rock.

(This totk rewrite au is called Familiar Familiar! It all starts when Zelda doesn’t get sent back in time and the butterfly effect devolved from there.)

So.... what are your thoughts on Ace's UM, if you haven't been asked this already?

sneaky magic for the sneakiest boy

no but really, I think it fits him really well! I had thought his UM would probably involve something kinda sleight-of-handy or pickpockety! and I looooved that it made such a nice loop-around back to episode 1. ❤️ I was. kind of half-expecting him to just run out and punch Riddle in the nose again. but instead this time 'twas he who offed the queen's head! it was great! and he did it while stone-cold terrified out of his mind! because Ace is the only remotely normal or well-adjusted person at NRC and therefore the only one who is like "we're going to literally die, this is super effed up". but he did it anyway!!!! I AM SO PROUD

stobotnik/sonic 3 friends of tumblr, I need you to see how they write the crab scene in the official third movie novelization with more below the cut.

I’m genuinely so proud of Ivo Robotnik because when Gerald said “you’re no Maria” and Ivo realised Gerald was manipulating him and didn’t actually care for him, he didn’t relapse. He didn’t go back to believing no one cares about him.

Ivo spent all his life being told he was different and weird and unloveable and he believed it. He believed it to the point he built an unfeeling façade and cosmic ego to cover up his insecurity. The moment Gerald reveals he never cared, Ivo could have easily reverted. Gerald could have been the final nail in the coffin, the final proof that Ivo could never be loved or cared about, even by his own family. Family that he put blind trust in because he believed so strongly that if anyone would be able to love him, it would be his blood. But his trust and feelings were used against him. All the effort and vulnerability he put into a relationship with his grandfather was for nothing.

This could have been the last straw, but it wasn’t.

Ivo Robotnik immediately thinks of Stone. He doesn’t think, ‘If my grandfather can’t love me, no one can,’ he thinks, ‘My grandfather is wrong. There is someone who cares about me. And he’s about to die.’ He starts thinking about Stone and everything he’s ever said to him. He doesn’t even consider that Stone could also be manipulating him. No, he believes so strongly that Stone cares about him. He understands how much Stone loves him. Enough that he acknowledges Stone cares about him while live to the whole world. Enough that he would sacrifice himself to save the whole world if it meant Stone would live.

And he fights for it. He fights Gerald, he fights the odds of the Eclipse Cannon exploding too close to Earth, he fights how terrified he is. Stone means so much to him that he fights for him to live. And in his final moments, Ivo tells Stone how much he meant to him. He would rather be vulnerable to the whole world than not let Stone know he also cared about him. When he said, “Thanks for nothing,” he meant, “Thanks for everything.”

Ivo Robotnik was capable of all that and it’s beautiful to me.

I imagine the rift between Ganondorf and the Sage of Lightning started after the attempted molduga attack

Designer's Note: Secret Stones have been passed down from a time so long ago that not even the Zonai know their origins. Initially we designed them to resemble dragon embryos, but they eventually settled into the form of the magatama jewels worn as accessories in ancient Japan.

Although their shape is simple, we took great care to convey a sense of the power contained within the Secret Stones. So that their color profile wouldn't be too basic, for example, we mixed two or three hues within each Secret Stone to reflect the palette of each Sage.

The art director gave the concept of "rakkan" [the stamps that traditional Japanese artists use to sign their work] as the key aesthetic for the glyphs carved into the Stones. These glyphs are based on the Chinese characters that represent the Sages. While maintaining a minimum level of readability, we transformed the shapes of the characters into something closer to symbols, each of which includes an "eye" element. We hope these designs lend a distinctive air of mystery to the Sages.

Misc stuff. Mentally ill for them fish meat...

TotK Plot Twist: When Ganondorf swallows the secret stone and turns into a dragon he just… vibes. Like all the other dragons. Sometimes he tries to dip down too low to settlements and malice poisons the area until Link lands on his head and baps on the nose like NO BAD DEMON DRAGON and then he just goes “ok” and floats to a higher elevation.

He lingers more around the desert than anywhere else, so he doesn’t bump into the other dragons all that much. But eventually the Yiga figure out some kind of way to turn him back and he’s just like “what kind of weird fever dream was that 🤨” when he’s normal again.
