"i think  …  i think i need a doctor ." sheik, very calmly, yknow, as one in shock does-- to link

Meme Tag -- @wisdomcend

Link blanches at the tone in the other's voice, noting that before anything else, hands automatically reaching out to steady the prince to keep him from falling to the ground. Goddess, he doesn't look good, nor does the blood seeping on the other's clothes provide any reassurance either.

A hiss escapes Link's teeth as he slips himself underneath the other's shoulder to offer better support, free arm reaching back into his pack to find a healing potion. At least he had the wherewithal to brew some for himself recently, but he knows that it won't be nearly enough to heal whatever happened to the prince, hopefully just enough to keep him stable.

Passing the small vial to the other, he rounds his hand slightly as if holding a cup, tipping the hand to his lips. << Drink. >>

okay here's my hot take on classes for a second

BotW/TotK Zelda would be a Divine Soul Sorcerer

another thought: BotW/TotK characters as a d&d party lol

[dnptarot]

alright guys! tour has been announced and i am planning on getting m&g tickets and printing a copy of the deck to give to dnp when i see them! to do this, me and @goldenpinof want to make the deck a bit more uniform in the formatting etc (just so they all look identical) and there were some small discrepancies with numbering, font size, etc. it would be fantastic if everyone who sent in art could email me the .png file of their art without the border just so we can reformat them. my email is castrotophic@gmail.com, or if you can't email just dm me! also, if you wanted to sign your artwork now would be a good time to add your signature onto the art itself! sorry for the confusion lmao i probably should have done this in the first place but ykw we learn by doing! thank you soooo much everybody im really excited to give this to dnp!!!

[blueskittlesart]

what do you think his thoughts were at that moment?

this is an insane question and i am going rabid trying to answer it. for context this is about my. link dead on the fucking floor compilation. i. e. "what do you think went through link's mind as he all but DIED in precalamity botw."

i've thought about this before because. well obviously i have. look at how many times i've drawn it. i think context matters more than anything when examining that moment, because it's essentially the culmination of link's entire life up to that point in the worst way possible. you have a kid who has been raised to either win or die. those are his only two options. he's known this for basically as long as he can remember. either he defeats the calamity like he's supposed to and lives the rest of his life as an untouchable gold standard of soldier, as proof that all that pressure and pain he suffered worked, or he dies and dooms everyone he has ever loved to suffer horribly for the rest of their likely very short lives. And i do think he thought about this extensively, because how could you NOT, and i think that he probably believed that death was the most likely outcome. He was raised by a soldier, around soldiers, to be a soldier. soldiers are practical. soldiers strategize for the most likely scenario. they're not pessimistic, but they know how to look at a situation objectively and make a judgement call. Looking at link's situation objectively, it would have been obvious that he couldn't win. he was one kid, a 16-year-old boy, with maybe some above-average swordsmanship skills, but too many variables were missing. he couldn't hear the sword's voice. zelda's power wouldn't manifest. Hylia, who should have been there guiding them through this prophecy that SHE had supposedly inflicted on them, was completely silent. the divine beasts may have given him some hope, initially, but it was clear below the optimistic facade that hyrule was toying with very dangerous forces they didn't truly understand. I think he very likely went into that confrontation with the calamity anticipating death.

what's most interesting to me about the scene of link's death isn't that he fell, but WHERE he fell. because he didn't die in the sanctum, at the scene of the calamity's birth, as one might have expected. he died in an empty field along the road to a fortress that might have been able to protect him. Link, the bearer of the triforce of courage, the boy raised to die a martyr at the hands of the calamity, who had all but accepted his fate before the monster even showed its face, chose to run for safety, what some might call the coward's approach, instead of dying where he stood at ganon's hand. and it seems almost out of character at first, when you think about the person he was when he first met zelda, the person who would do anything in his power to show no weakness, to take the pain and the stress without flinching or faltering. the boy who so completely embodied that idea of "courage." but i think that zelda was the piece that changed him. If it had just been him at that final confrontation, maybe he wouldn't have run. maybe he would have been content to take his final stand and accept the death he'd been promised. but zelda insisted on being there, too. "there must be something i can do to help." and while link was a soldier, more than willing to engage in self-sacrifice, he was also a knight, sworn to protect this girl, and so he couldn't in good conscience sacrifice HER, too. so he ran. he tried to live, at a moment when he should have expected to die. and i think that was infinitely more courageous of him. to go against everything you have ever known and expected is infinitely scarier than accepting the outcome you've always anticipated. Running for his life (and for zelda's) was running into the unknown. escaping death in that way was defying everything he'd built himself up to be, everything everyone expected of him. Who is link if not the hero who faced the calamity with courage? what would he have to be if he could not be what was expected of him? in that moment, he made the choice to step into the unprophesized timeline, into a world where his actions were no longer defined by some great all-seeing power. and that was the most courageous move he could have made in that moment. he must have been terrified.

so what was going through his mind as he made his last stand? Honestly, i think the only thing on his mind was zelda. I don't think he cared about himself, his physical condition, any of it. I think he made the choice to run because of zelda and so he made the choice to take his final stand where he did because of her, too. just before zelda's power manifests, we see him try to continue fighting even inches from death, so gravely injured that he's unsteady on his feet, using his sword to keep himself standing. i think he must have known that he was in no condition to fight anymore, but he expected death to come for him at one point or another. what mattered was that she might live as long as he kept going. that's why he ran in the first place. not for himself, but because zelda was there and zelda didn't deserve to die like this. Even once zelda's power manifests, link only gives up and allows himself to fall once a beat or two has past--once he's sure that there really is no more danger. that she'll be okay, that she can make it past the fort and into relative safety even if he lets go here. He collapses then, and only then, after running miles through fields and woods, already gravely wounded, because in that moment he sees that the danger has past. a soldier's work is only done when there is nothing left to fight. a knight's work is only done when his princess is truly safe.

maybe he was relieved that he'd managed to hold on as long as he had. that he'd been able to find her some form of safety, in one way or another. maybe he worried about what manner of things would come for her once he was gone. maybe he wondered why she wouldn't just leave him and run for the fort. i'm sure there was a flash of regret in the back of his mind, for the family and friends he'd leave behind, for the people he'd let down, for the calamity he wasn't able to defeat. but this was the outcome he'd expected, even if it had come in a slightly different form. Even if now there was a girl hovering above him begging him to open his eyes.

im mostly going to limit to wips that ive actively worked on this year, bc i have so many other wips from past years that i haven't gone back to, so i'm not going to include those to try and not have this list go on forever <3 i'm also going to include the relevant fandom in parentheticals beside the wip fic title bc some of my titles are vague and i have lots of different fandoms in circulation at any given time lmao !! there are also a handful of nonfandom/original fiction wips listed down at the bottom bc they were on my wc tracking sheet

additionally i am NOT going to tag one person for every wip bc tht would be SO MANY PEOPLE so i'm just gonna tag a handful of people off the top of my head, and if you see this and i didn't rag you and you wnat to do it, please feel free to say i tagged you in it and do the game anyway !!!! xoxoxox

Fic under the cut

Beauty | Botw Precalamity | G-rated

“Oh, Link, look!”

Link drags his eyes from the endless stretch of road to follow Zelda’s gaze. Ahead of them looms Satori Mountain, its summit glowing a vibrant turquoise against the darkening sky. It’s a truly beautiful sight, one he can’t ever see himself tiring of. But then he happens to sneak a glance at Zelda, sitting beside him, regal and elegant atop her mount, a smile like a thousand suns on her face, and decides no natural wonder can ever compare to her.

“According to legend, when the mountain shines, a mystical beast reigns from atop it,” Zelda says, excitedly. “Of course, such tales are unproven and the worst way possible to keep accurate records, but…”

She looks down at her hands, and then back at him, thankfully not noticing the traitorous flush that's risen in his cheeks. “It certainly wouldn’t hurt to investigate.”

He shakes his head. “Not at all, Princess.”

She sends him a grin and his heart skips several beats.

“Well, then what are we waiting for?”

And she’s off at a gallop before he can respond.

Despite her head start he catches up rather quickly, and they ride side by side to the base of the mountain. He dismounts, quickly, and holds out a hand to Zelda.

“It’s easier if we walk,” he explains as she hops down. 

Zelda’s eyes light up. “Oh, so you’ve been here before?”

He nods. A rough trail lies before them, and he begins walking along it. 

“With your father, I’m guessing?” Zelda presses, coming up beside him.

“Yeah.” A small smile lifts his lips. “You know, we saw it one time, he and I.”

Her eyes widen. “The Lord of the Mountain.”

“Yep.” 

They pass a large bunch of firs with crows flitting about their branches and continue upward.

“It was beautiful,” he adds after a moment or two. “A little intimidating, but beautiful.”

Zelda hums, thoughtfully. “Do you know a good vantage point then?”

He grins at that. “The best. But it takes a bit of climbing.”

Zelda waves him off. “I don’t mind at all. In fact, I quite like climbing.”

She is, Link realizes quickly, rather good at it too. Even with the unnatural chill biting at their extremities and turning the rocks bitterly cold, Zelda has no trouble keeping up with him as they work their way to the peak. They reach the top, and she stops short, breath hitching.

Below them, the Lord of the Mountain stands on a blanket of cherry blossoms. At least twenty blupees surround him, lazily hopping about or cleaning themselves.

“You were right,” she breathes. “It is beautiful.”

Link smiles and eases down beside her, hanging his feet over the edge.

“Told you,” he says, with just a hint of playfulness, and bumps her shoulder with his own. 

No sooner has he done it, than he regrets it. But before he can dig himself down into a hole of miserable embarrassment, Zelda nudges him back.

And when he looks over, she’s grinning.

Can you tell us more about the relationship between Saint Valerian and the little twink who got to burrow in his holy guts. How did that happen, I thought Valerian only thought about money, himself and his goddess. Love those freaks btw

this ask has made me unreasonably happy anon like our wedding shall be in spring

How do i even describe Valerian's priorities. Essentially he likes to conceive of himself as a perfect tool for his goddess, he only cares about what she cares about, he's not so much a person as a machine that keeps the church turning an insane and exponential profit, etc etc. But he also has a black hole-sized pit of grief at the core of his being and very shamefully craves affection and companionship. In his current position he gets a lot of blind worship and parasocial infatuation but not the kind of deranged, mutually destructive intimacy that he is sorely missing. He's a romantic at heart <3

so enter the little twink. his name is Aristide and he belongs to tumblr user @precalamity. he is Valerian's personal assistant and the latest in a long, long line of many bc Val has been at this for 100 years and burns through them like a maladjusted dog destroys chewtoys. Ari has lasted for six years so if this was a game he would be winning. He's the perfect person to be around Valerian and this is not on accident. Probably a good 80% of Ari's conscious effort goes into obsessively tuning himself to every one of Val's deranged whims and keeping him happy and he's intimidatingly good at it.

I like to describe their relationship as two stars in a death spiral--each bound by the other's gravity and locked into doomed orbit around each other where they will eventually collide and explode. teehee <3 Valerian treats most of his assistants as expendable with a built-in expiration date and Ari fully knew this going in. But by virtue of dedication and mental illness he managed to burrow himself so deeply into Val's rotting brain that they're now operating on codependency levels previously unknown to man.

The two of them are playing a game of 24/7 psychosexual 4D chess. Whoever admits genuine affection first loses. Both of them think that the other one is unaware of the game. They've slept in the same bed multiple times. Ari will mix cyanide into Valerian's coffee bc his poison tolerance is insane and it just makes him a little sick so that means Ari gets to take care of him. Six months into working together Valerian gouged out Ari's eye to prove a point. The only reason they even met was because of a murder that Ari committed and that Valerian thought was An Example Of Great Work Ethic. For the safety of everyone else around them they should never be separated. I could go on.

I have technically 100%ed botw. I say technically bc all that goes into the ~official~ in-game completion is the divine beasts, the shrines, koroks, and locations. Still gonna dick around and wrap up all the side quests (which I’ve done in both previous playthrough) and max upgrade all my armor (again, previously done).

Gotta say, as frustrating as those last few koroks and locations were, it was really fun bc I got to see a lot of the map I’d somehow never seen before in 3 separate plays. Kinda bummed that I’m “done”, what will I goof around and waste my time with now.

whispers does anyone want to time travel back to 1.0 era and write something

[gloryseized]

@vigilantdesert liked for a starter! ( Link for Urbosa )

They hadn't let him into Gerudo Town. It was hard to think about such a fact without an associated pout, because the frustration went much deeper than that. He knew the princess didn't want him around, could barely tolerate the sight of him, but he also didn't want to shirk his duty, couldn't even bear the thought of something happening to her because he wasn't by her side to protect her.

The nervous energy singing up and down his spine wouldn't allow him to sand still, pacing steps working a small divot in the shifting sands in front of the Gerudo settlement. The tension gnawed at his gut, chasing away his appetite even as sweat beaded his brow with the noonday sun. Sharp blue eyes looked towards the gate every so often, half-hoping to be able to spot something a miss, but knowing even if he did he wouldn't be able to help.

And the princess hadn't even come to see him yet.

A familiar form appeared at the gate with the next glance, the Gerudo Chieftain Urbosa, and Link's breath caught in his throat. Almost tripping over his steps, he jogged to her side, keeping a wary eye on the guards. His left hand formed the letter P, tapping it to his left shoulder, right shoulder, and then slashing diagonally down his chest. << Princess? >> Was she alright? Did she need him?

[blueskittlesart]

do you have any thoughts on zelda not staying as a dragon? me personally I like it and am very cool with it mostly because I think zelda should get to be happy forever (and because I'm smart enough to know she changed back because of recall and not some ambiguous power of love lmao) but a lot of people seem to dislike that it made the draconification inconsequential?

i think there's like. some valid concerns surrounding inconsequentiality/"curing" the physical problems characters have as a way of giving them a "happy ending" but I think those concerns don't necessarily apply to totk in the way people seem to be applying them, especially irt zelda's draconification and link's arm.

most of the time when the criticism of this "magic cure" trope is applied to media, it's because the trope is used as a cure-all to erase a character's suffering or trauma and make them "normal" again, and often ignores the character development or themes of the story in favor of giving the character a happy ending. I don't think that applies to totk, though, because the "curing" link and zelda experience is both within the realm of possibility given the worldbuilding present in the game (recall could easily have done it, as you mentioned) AND thematically consistent with the rest of the game. One of if not the most important central themes of totk is the idea of failure and second chances. we see a hyrule that has been given a second chance after link's initial failure with the calamity brought it to the brink of destruction. we see characters who were deeply unhappy and entrenched in the shame of their precalamity mistakes like purah and zelda become active, beloved members of their communities. we see the people of lurelin village take back and rebuild their destroyed home. we watch this kingdom and its people make an unprecedented comeback after a century of struggle and ruin.

Similarly, totk's gameplay is LINK's second chance, his comeback from the initial mistake of losing zelda, of specifically being unable to reach her with his injured hand when they fell. The consequences of that--the master sword's corruption, the loss of his arm, and zelda's draconification, are all supposed to SEEM irreversible, because that's how LINK initially sees them. he believes that he doomed both himself and zelda all because of that SINGLE moment in which he wasn't enough, a viewpoint which is obviously left over from the pressure he experienced to perform to an impossible standard of perfection pre-calamity. The story of totk is about deconstructing that belief and proving it wrong. the mistake he made caused harm, but it's never too late to repair things. he can fix the regional phenomena ganondorf causes and rebuild those communities. he can revitalize the master sword. he can GET ZELDA BACK, with his own arm, uninjured and able to reach her this time. no matter how impossible those things may initially seem, no matter the perceived finality of his mistakes and their consequences, there is always hope. there is always a second chance. no one person's single mistake can doom an entire kingdom for eternity. the fate of hyrule was NEVER resting on link's shoulders alone. he was never their final hope. there was always going to be an after. the whole POINT of the draconification and the loss of link's arm is that they AREN'T final. they ARE inconsequential, because they were born of one mistake and ONE MISTAKE IS NOT THE END ALL.

Writer asks! 4, 6, 17 🧡💛🧡💛

SORRY I WAS LITERALLY HALF FINISHED WITH THIS WHEN I FORGOT ABOUT IT ANYWAYS HI HELLO

4. Do you prefer writing multi-chapter or oneshot fanfictions?

oh oneshots 1000%. well i mean like. i Enjoy multichaps conceptually but i have literally never finished one. sesdinikhil love languages doesnt count bc sav @grasslandgirl and i wrote that all in one sitting and then divided it into chapters later kdfgkgdfgk but yeah like i have so many ideas for longer wips i just have never gotten into a space where i could write them

6. Have you written any fanfictions featuring OCs? If so, elaborate!

SO FUNNY QUESTION bc again sav and i are like >20k deep in a fic thats essentially. What If Jamie Tartt Had A Younger Half Sister. That Could Fix Him Probably. also word on the wind (wizard101 fic. Deep Sigh) probably counts as an oc bc even though mae is like. The Protag The Young Wizard The Spellbinder Etc her name and personality and arc are inventions of my brain

17. Are there any writers and/or stories that you consider an influence?

Oh Boy Are There.

PUBLISHED WORK: the long way to a small angry planet by becky chambers is a masterclass of worldbuilding and i want everyone on earth to read it. similarly i think dimension 20's the unsleeping city is the best urban fantasy world ever created and i think about it every time i write urban fantasy! alberto rios is my favorite poet and inspires me Daily like the smallest muscle in the human body is such a wonderful book specifically some extensions on the sovereignty of science which makes me cry so much god i wish i had his skill with language. and the adventure zone remains my favorite story of all time! douglas adams, terry pratchett, honorary rick riordan mention for making me want to write in the first place.

FICS: in terms of like general lifetime inspiration god i would give my kidney to write like these people: tell me about the big bang by nina varela, domesticverse by @gyzym which is utterly lifechanging and permanently affected how i think about love and romance, patron saint of lost causes by @themetaphorgirl because the way it weaves together so many complex beautiful stories is beyond inspiring, if you could let me inside your heart by @featherquillpen because it remains the most compelling group character study ive ever read in my whole life, i hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain by @precalamity bc if i ever write a reclist without this shoot me im a pod person.

and a separate section for stranger things writers bc thats where im at rn: all of the people who influence how i write character dynamics and arc: lesbianrobin (@lesbianrobin), birthdaycandles (@steveharrington), oaseas (metaldead on twitter), thegoodthebadandthenerdy (@cauldronoflove), sickoflosiingsoulmates (@strangetorpedos)

also everyone in the hanover high AV club. Everyone. i mentioned girl help! by @jlinns in a previous ask but seriously everything these guys have ever written i am taking and putting in my shirt pocket for later: phonecallfromgod (@phonecallfromgod), formosus_iniquis (@formosusiniquis), jj thegoodthebadandthenerdy again, mikeshanlon (@akenoz), unbelieve (@fearlessjournalism) if i have forgotten anyone im so sorry i love you all so much

and of course sav grasslandgirl (@grasslandgirl) who inspires & influences me literally every single day! would not write Anything without her <333
