[lordofthewesternlands]

Why... Last night I played Zelda and now I want a RP about it. The story of Wind Waker, my favorite one for being too cute.

Need a Toon Link as I'll be his cute little sister Aryll. In a sweet rp that also includes drama, sibling shenanigans, a responsible big brother Link, and maybe some discipline for when Aryll who (most likely) will get in trouble.

Interested, message me!

[nompunhere]

Obligatory Long-Overdue Pinned Post

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I'm NomPunHere, but you can call me Nom, Pun, NomPun, NPH, or whatever. She/they pronouns, please. I'm not too active these days, but in here, you will find:

Safe, soft, nonsexual vore/noms, aka extreme cuddling

Some G/t here and there

Gay bugs

Fandom thoughts

Fics and art (most of which is kinda old by now)

Angst, sometimes

Please do not ask to RP unless I know you personally. I may occasionally engage with some silly little RP-type asks, but I'm also pretty bad about getting around to answering asks in general, so don't expect too much.

I do have a sona! I haven't officially introduced them on this blog, though. Maybe someday I'll finish her ref sheet. Today is not that day. Other than them, the vast majority of my OCs are bees I made to fill roles in a couple of my fics lmao

A lot of my work is fandom-based, though I also have some non-fandom posts floating around that people seem to like. I'll put my fandom list under the cut so I don't have to break up the names with slashes (hopefully)

Explanation of my DNI will also be under the cut. You can skip past the fandom list if you want, since it's so long

List of current/major fandoms, in (mostly) no particular order:

HOLLOW KNIGHT (this makes up like half my blog)

Rain World

Bug Fables

Celeste

Treasure Planet

Slay the Princess

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (only PMD2 though)

Pokémon Legends: Arceus (still on my first playthrough so no spoilies)

Sky: Children of the Light

Stardew Valley

D&D

And here's some older/minor fandoms I may occasionally take interest in, again in no particular order:

OFF

Subnautica

Journey (2013)

Legend of Zelda (Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Twilight Princess, and Wind Waker, though my memory of those last two isn't the best)

Homestuck

Baba Is You

Golden Treasure: The Great Green (if anyone recognizes this one I love you personally)

Plants Vs Zombies (mostly the first game)

Undertale

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Boku no Hero Academia

SPORE

To The Moon (and its sequels)

Terraria

Flight Rising (note that I haven't played since like 2020 though so I'm not up-to-date)

Detroit: Become Human

PIKMIN (only up through Pikmin 3 so far though)

Mushi-shi

Steven Universe

Gravity Falls

Invader Zim

Danny Phantom

How to Train Your Dragon (only the first two movies plus Gift of the Night Fury and Book of Dragons. Haven't seen RoB, DoB, or RttE)

BE MORE CHILL

Miraculous Ladybug

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)

The Dragon Prince (only the first two seasons but I intend to watch the newer episodes later so NO SPOILIES)

My Little Pony (gen 4) (haven't seen The Movie or anything after it)

Okay that's probably way more than enough. Some of these fandoms, I will not talk about in a vore context, either for my own comfort or the comfort of others. And some of these, I don't actually remember much about, but they all have a place in my heart so I figured I'd mention them

DNI:

Blogs that post explicit sexual content

I would strongly prefer not to see that type of content, and I definitely don't want people interpreting my work as sexual, so I ask that you not follow or reblog my posts. If you just leave likes on my most popular posts though (like over 100 notes), I won't give a shit.

If you're gonna interpret my work as sexual regardless of what I say, then you do you, man. I just don't wanna know about it.

Blogs that only post hard and/or fatal vore

For this one, I mainly just don't want my posts reblogged there, because that's generally not what my posts are meant to be, and I don't want them to be interpreted incorrectly, if it can be helped.

Blogs that post irl vore/weight gain pictures or edits

I'm not judging, so long as everything is done with consent, but these do make me uncomfortable, and I don't wanna see it.

Proshippers/comshippers/anti-antis

Again, the content makes me uncomfortable, and I would rather not have people interpreting the relationships in my works as romantic or sexual unless they're intended to be.

On another note, if you strongly identify as either anti-anti OR anti, and go out of your way to harass people who disagree with you, I probably won't like your vibe! We don't need that around here! Thanks.

MAPs/pedophiles and zoophiles

I hope you're getting whatever help you need.

TERFS, transmeds, racists, sexists, LGBT-phobes, neonazis, ace/aro exclusionists, and whatever else I'm forgetting. Idk I'll probably block you if you give me that sort of bad vibe

This should be pretty self-explanatory, I should hope? Don't be a dick.

I don't want to argue with anyone, and I don't want to be dragged into any drama. This is meant to be a safe place to talk about my interests. Thank you for understanding, and I hope you enjoy your visit (or stay)!

(And yes, if you must know, I'm an adult.)

Hi everyone! I'm Maisie, I'm 25f looking for roleplays, fandom and fandomless!

Please be 18+!!

Legend of Zelda: I've played Breath of the wild, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Link's awakening, Age of Calamity and Skyward Sword. I'm still playing through Tears of the kingdom however, so please no spoilers! I'm also planning to play Majora's mask and also Ocarina of time.

Stranger Things: I've seen all the seasons so don't worry about spoilers. I'm also down for AUs!

Stardew Valley: I absolutely adore Stardew Valley. However, I haven't played Stardew Valley Expanded yet so I don't know any of the characters but I'm willing to try them out. Just bare with me!

The Lost boys: I recently watched this and fell in love with the movie! (and with the vampires lol) I'm down for AUs and any ideas!

Maze Runner: I have read the books and seen the movies. We can follow the books or the movies. Or even an AU.

Power Rangers (2017): I recently watched it. We could do something with canon characters or OCs. Or both. Maybe something where our OCs find the coins and become rangers.

For fandomless plots, I love fantasy-related plots. I also love slice of life plots too.

Maybe something like Song of Achilles too. (Reincarnated lovers could also be tied into it, maybe angst of one lover not remember the other. We can expand on it!)

Godxmortal is another favourite plots of mine.

We can brainstorm different ideas, I love to plot and think of ideas!

I can play canon characters and I also have OCs. I can do ocxcanon, OCxOC and canon ships. (I have a few favourite ships) I'm down for AUs and also crossovers! Limits and everything can be discussed.

I rp on Discord!

Please DM if you are interested!

Thank you!

[canonrpfinder]

Hi! I’m 18+ and looking for some rp partners who are also 18+. I tend to do the paragraph style of RPing of varying lengths. I’m also not the best with romance and stuff like that. I’m not opposed to it, it’s just a blind spot of sorts for me. I really enjoy plot-heavy stuff with character interactions and stuff like that.

Here are the fandoms I like:

My Hero Academia. Deku, Bakugo, Shoji, Natsuo, Spinner, Mineta, among others (villains and students in 1A and 1B)

Fullmetal Alchemist. Alphonse, Pride, Wrath (2003), among others such as the chimeras)

The Owl House. King, Hunter, Kikimora, Willow, Philip, Raine/Eda (young versions), Amity (usually season 1), Edric, among others.

Five Nights at Freddy’s. Gregory, William, Alec, most animatronics.

Avatar the Last Airbender. Toph, (I haven’t played many others aside from Appa and Momo lol)

Undertale/Deltarune. Chara, Alphys, Undyne, Susie, Berdly, King of Spades, among others.

Legend of Zelda. Link (usually child Link from Majora’s Mask, Oot, or Wind Waker), Skull Kid, Midna, Terrako, Revali, Daruk, Sidon, possibly among others

Sonic the Hedgehog. Omega, Silver, Tails, Emerl, Charmy, Metal Sonic (Shard), Surge (before arc), Sally, among others (usually robots and kid-characters)

Marvel. Rocket Raccoon. I haven’t really played many other Marvel characters lol.

Dc. Damian Wayne. Same case as Marvel and Rocket.

Star Wars. R2D2. Again, not too many chances to play other characters.

If anyone is interested, please like this post and I’ll try and reach out!

Ganondorf's sorrowful presence stands resolute while he wanders within the labyrinthine expanse of the Forsaken Fortress. Towering amidst the winding, poorly-lit corridors that he has been exploring, his imposing figure casts a long and ominous shadow that writhes and contorts with an almost supernatural intensity.

His darkened silhouette seems to dance upon the hard, unforgiving stone walls, illuminated by the fortress's sparse few torches that dot the structure's many passages. Captured flames struggle against the endless moisture that seeps through the Forsaken Fortress's unique, open floorplan. The gloomy weather pairs with the ocean itself in allowing dampness to cling to the very architecture of the island, saturating the air with a sense of melancholy while waging a quiet battle against the outdoor firebrands. The cold, wet air causing them to burn less hot and glow less brightly.

The lost king seems to haunt the Forsaken Fortress as though he remains a solitary sentinel, his presence both a defiance of time's relentless marching and a testament to his enduring will. With every step of his deliberate wandering, the sounds of his soft, desert slippers resonate through the vast expanse of the fortress. The quiet echo of his steps only amplifying the sense of isolation that permeates this desolate pirate graveyard. The sounds of his movements are quickly overpowered, however, by the distant, ominous rumble of thunder beyond the formidable walls of the island.

The storm wrought by the capricious hand of nature quickly descends upon the island with unrestrained fury. Raindrops akin to glistening silver tears, relentlessly assail the fortress's ancient stone façade, the rhythmic patter creating an ethereal symphony of liquid percussion that reverberates through the dim-lit corridors. The thunder, a wrathful behemoth whose deep roars know no bounds, rumbles the very foundation of this forsaken bastion, its deafening reverberations shaking Ganondorf, resonating deep within his very soul and inspiring his heartbeat to pound like a set of drums in his chest. The King of Evil only regrets that he is not equipped with his pipe organ during this gathering of band class.

He halts in his stride, his countenance reflecting no fear or signs of upset despite the violent rain. Nature herself seems to challenge Ganondorf, the elemental tempest appearing to be a display of her unbridled power. However, he does not answer her. The Gerudo instead finds it a refreshing departure from the scorching desolation of his desert, though it is still an enduring torment in its own right—an emblem of his eternal imprisonment above these cursed waters.

Bitter irony slithers through his thoughts like a venomous serpent, for the very weather he once often craved has now become a ceaseless companion, a reminder of his solitude and his lost kingdom. He thinks back to a bygone era, back when he prayed for the rain to bless his homeland—back when he was the revered sovereign of the people of the desert.

It wasn't long after that time that he had become the dreaded and feared Great King of Evil. Those days, now totally shrouded in the mists of time, were marked by the intoxicating sensation of that seven-year-long power trip. Back when Hyrule, once his conquest, bowed before him and hailed him not just as its ruler, but its deity. The world had been his, and he had reveled in the taste of power and glory, basking in his place on the throne that he stole.

Back in the present, profound sadness envelops the lost king like an impenetrable cloak, a heavy weight that seems to press heavily upon his very essence. His once pounding heart now throbs with a sorrow so intense that is threatens to rend him asunder, each beat a poignant reminder of all of what he once possessed in contrast to these empty, ruined corridors of this forsaken fortress, situated within the rocky cliffs of island where pirate ships come to die.

Another strike of lightning blinks in the distance. Standing next to one of the fortress's many windows, he catches the display in his peripheral but is far too distracted to acknowledge it. Instead, he finds himself lost in introspection and he gazes at his left hand... More specifically, he stares at the markings that permanently stain his skin: the symbol of the golden relic that he once deeply coveted. He recalls his deep yearning for the Triforce, those incredible triangles of legend. Wanting so badly for his deepest desire to be granted and to possess such an intense and costly power all in the name of advancing his people out of Hyrule's shadow.

Oh, how ill it makes him knowing how oblivious he once was. Features pull into a deep-set frown as he continues to look down at the Triforce mark on his hand. Oh, if only he had known how much obtaining just his one piece would cost him. Ganondorf wonders if the effort would still truly be worth it to his younger self.

Another violent strike of lightning outside, this time the flash draws his attention away from his hand and he looks upon the tumultuous seas outside, the black waters raging in an ugly dance with the heavy thunderstorm. He watches the show in the near distance, listening to the pounding of raindrops and the crashing of the waves that hit the rocky landing of the island. The storm seems to represent a poignant reflection of his inner turmoil, yet his mind instead drifts to the Triforce; more specifically, the piece that continues to rest within him. He can hear its hum and feel its quiet desire to be reunited with the other two triangles.

Soon.

Soon we'll all get what we want.

I also want to make 100% clear that none of this is a surprise to me. The last thing I want to come across as is arrogant, I-called-it, I-told-you-so, but there are collab stories and RP that I've done with friends over years that hit and criticize these beats TotK is using very closely. Before TotK came out, long before. I wouldn't want to declare, wow I am so smart for predicting a game with a story for children... but what I am seeing in TotK aside from the most made-up things like how magic rocks work, was able to be easily imagined based on Skyward Sword, BotW, some aspects of Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time.

It's just the prevailing mindset of this game series where you're a divinely enfranchised soldier setting out to oust a fundamentally evil force from the seat of holy monarchy. I have made and fallen out of touch with friends who were making these observations as early as 2007. I was 15, about half my current age. I remember writing about parallels to Shintoism and the Japanese imperial myth in Legend of Zelda as a college essay. The narrative has gotten more explicit since then.

TotK is really ramping up Hyrule's past as pure imperial myth type propaganda.

(criticism beneath the cut)

I really really am not enjoying the explicit text that various civilizations of people in tears of the kingdom exist in the way they do in order to preserve super powers that Link will come to collect. On behalf of his nation's first king.

sure, they frame it as like 'now I can fight by your side whenever, how convenient!' but I can't forget that this first king Rauru gave the original sages their secret stones, and this is a return on that investment. Regardless of what compelling character arcs any of these people have over the course of the game, we are accumulating the agency of entire nations, prepared for us as a proxy of the ruler who defined Hyrule's legitimacy.

Legend of Zelda has leaned in the past few installments into equating 'saving Hyrule' with 'palengenesis of an ancient nation.' I don't have to explain again why this has one foot on either side of line dividing 'imperial throne myth' and 'fascist myth' and TotK so far is only adding more detail to these ideas- positioning the surrounding peoples of Hyrule (Zora, Gorons, Gerudo, Rito) not as 'allies' but as part of its dominion from the beginning.

I've completed the wind and water temples so far and because you can do them in any order, the ancient sages seem to all say basically the same thing to Link in case it's the first time: the destiny of their entire people came to exist for Link, literally King Rauru's right hand man.

Ganondorf may be a very 'fantasy evil' dude but in terms of real-life genre of evil, this is colonialism, imperialism. Except, through the eyes of somebody who thinks it's good to shape the destiny of other peoples under your dominion-- that it's rightful to assume this sort of power by

giving priceless gifts (to be harvested later), or

sources of prosperity (that can only be fixed by themselves or their agents), or

some kind of unification mythology (spiritual subservience),

as if those are not forms of violence. Empires love giving 'gifts' like religion, government, industries, and trains.

I'm also down for fandomless plots too! I have a few ideas for it!

Please be 18 or over since I'm an adult. It's just for my comfort. Limits and everything else can be discussed!

I rp on discord and some other places too, my discord username is mixedskies12

I also rp on Kik and email so message me if you want them!

Thanks!
