rip stede bonnet and edward teach you would have loved spending your entire morning booping each other back and forth and getting into a cutthroat competition on who can boop each other the most

I think I failed to post this sketch a little while ago when I made it whoops! Sort of a spur of the moment doodle before I had to commute to work so I think the total time spent was ~10 minutes.

Epic: The Musical and Linked Universe

So I’m sure someone else noticed this already but Epic: The Musical gives off Linked Universe vibes. So I’m honor of the Circe Saga releasing next week, I thought I’d put in my 2 cents about what songs I associate with each Link (+some non-canon LU Links). There’s a bit of another LU-Links-reunite AU building up in my head but there’s no real direction yet so have this brain vomit instead:

- The Horse and The Infant - Warriors. So this goes into my headcanon that Warriors is the hero of 10,000 years ago. No I have no foundation for that theory. It just IS. Anyways he’s fighting the Yiga with an army of Gerudo and Hylians. He has to kill the Yiga leader’s son, who’s the new incarnation of Ganondorf. The kid is an infant. I don’t think I need to explain more but yeah.

- Just A Man - Hyrule. This song is the ultimate Hyrule song for me. It explains his character in my Relinked AU too. It’s just… it’s Hyrule’s song. As for the story based off of Epic: The Musical itself, I think he’s running from some sort of war in his Hyrule (either a civil war or a war with Calatia). The details aren’t that clear yet, other than he kills someone and feels bad about it.

- Full Speed Ahead - Wind. Need I say more?

- Warrior of the Mind - our first non-canon Link: First! I Imagine First and Hylia kicking ass together during this song

- Polyphemus - Okay, we’re getting into true AU territory with this one, but this is Twilight’s song. He’s trying to piece together the Mirror of Twilight again and accidentally angers a Hinox or other large monster. With him is Dusk, Rusl (or maybe Colin), and Dusk is stabbed at the end. That’s all I’ve got for this one.

- Survive - Time. And this one has a Story. Ganondorf attacks Time’s castle town with an army of Gerudo and monsters. Time and the Sages fight him off but at the last second he breaks free and slaughters everyone, including Time. However, just as the song ends (the point where Polyphemus falls asleep), Zelda rewinds time and sacrifices herself to seal Ganondorf into the Mirror of Twilight. This is the moment the Downfall Timeline is created too.

- Remember Me - Our second non-canon Link, Shadow! He, Four, Dot, and others are fighting this monster. The Four Sword shatters, Shadow takes charge but in the end wants to do the noble thing. Oh and he gives his name as “Link” and not Shadow (or Shade, as Four’s beginning to call him in my headcanon)

- My Goodbye - Legend and Fable have a falling out. Legend’s sick of feeling used because he’s the hero, so he decides he’s had enough.

- Storm - Our third non-canon Link, Age! Basically a Tears of the Kingdom scenario except Age and his Zelda (Fauna) never went down below the castle. He never loses his arm and Fauna never goes to the past, but they have to evacuate Hyrule to the sky with the help of the Light Dragon who clears the way.

- Luck Runs Out - Sky and Groose. Idk what went down in Sky’s Hyrule but they’re having a disagreement about how Sky’s handling it.

- Keep Your Friends Close - Our last non-canon Link, Spirit! This one also has some story behind it to make the song fit. Idk why, but he and his Zelda (Phantom) have gone to speak to their Wind God, Zephos (the same from Wind Waker) who gives them a challenge. They fail and Spirit gets separated from the group. I imagine it might have something to do with Ganondorf who’s still stuck under the receding Great Sea.

- Ruthlessness - This absolute bop goes to Four. It’s also a follow-up to Remember Me, so that means the monster Shadow refused to kill is Special. Related in some way to Fierce Deity special. So the story here is after the encounter with the monster, Four, Shadow, and others (I’m debating giving Vaati a redemption arc?) decide to try to get help from the god Fierce Deity. Except Deity is pissed because he thinks Four is a weakling when it was actually Shadow who took the blame for what happened to the monster. Fierce slaughters all of Four and Shadow’s men, Four seals himself into the Four Sword to distract/hurt Fierce, and Shadow escapes but feels really guilty.

That’s all I’ve got for now. I’ll add the Circe Saga when it comes out.

Favourite hobby is half assed explaining my relationships just to watch my parents blue screen and try to figure out if what I’m saying is a new relationship term or just whatever me and the other are using

“But won’t people think you’re in a relationship?”

“Eh. Not my problem”

“Are you going to get a boyfriend?”

“Why, you know a guy?”

Essentially I’m going this to them over quesadillas

[cherryrockpops]

Just go with the flow

initial spoilery reflections on the Rogue novelisation; this is mostly scattered because my brain is still woolly with lack of sleep and the spike-and-drop of too much new stuff coming in for processing

SPOILERS under the cut:

missing pieces: these are so helpful! I'd been banging my head against bits of the scene in the TARDIS (why is the Doctor now in charge of the triform? is there some missing bit of negotiation/agreement about this that we just haven't seen? HOW DID YOU GET TO BE HERE? WHAT WAS THE MOMENT? ) and also the final showdown (how do the other two parts of the transport gate get into position?), and now I don't have to. there are explanations, they got left on the cutting-room floor, it happens.

fun extras: the lake scene, and yes, I can quite see how that is not happening on top of the strain of prolonged night shoots, never mind the other potential complications

cut lines that crop up elsewhere (e.g. the one from the Kate Herron interview in Collider about R's reaction to seeing all the Doctor's selves)

excellent 18th-century fiction nerd joke that made me cackle very happily

would you like a complicated winter to go with that hot summer, Mr H?

ART!

lots to work with/play with in the backstory, an ending that manages to be satisfying and still leaves enough room for fic to happen

for now*, an absolute commitment by the writers to who and what Rogue is, and to a queer romance with the Doctor that really is what it seems to be

[*because nothing is fully fixed and safe with an open/live canon]

still intrigued by the Yossarian as the name of Rogue's ship, and not sure what that signifies

looking forward to: all the cacti!

there was a breakdown, mistakes were made, now to work my way back to where i was

[mumblelard]

ruth acting out or fresh everything bagels sitting on the counter top waiting to be toasted

on friday, i went to a baseball game with finn and fall, and i drank a beer, and we ate hot dogs, and we watched the fireworks after the game like it was two thousand and twelve or something. it was a really nice night

we ran into one of their oldest friends at the game, someone they have known so long, i don't know if they can even remember meeting. i accidentally talked to her boyfriend as though he spoke my own language and it i guess it scrambled his brain for a bit, but i think he'll be alright

my dad usually takes me to a baseball game around my birthday, but a few days before the date of this year's game, i mentioned that i was looking forward to it, and he seemed confused. then he said, 'oh, that fell through,' and that was the end of that

this week has been full of unexpected, dark developments in the lives of people on the edges of my life. my usual experience of the world lives somewhere on the scale of tired sadness to hopeful joy, but this whole last week was stained by the lurking potential for tragedy

last night i dreamed about swimming through the crystal clear waters of a drowned city and massive waves would lift me up twenty stories in a moment and then drag me down into the depths. i dreamt about eating a package of ramen that tasted like a fried chicken sandwich with dill pickle chips, and i dreamt about finding a nest full of baby squirrels waiting to be fed
