i feel like i lost / fell out of contact with most people that i interacted with a lot or were like friends with or something like that here— which really just lowered my productivity on here or to even get on tumblr ? if im wording it right 😞😞 ive just been feeling blank about it ?? I can't word it right

ive kinda been slacking off on doing my requests right now since I've been caught up in so much work and like personal problems that worry me alot and I just don't feel like doing anything right now that make me feel a bit stressed in some way

i just feel like I should not really be worrying about requests so much right now as I have other things to do too, I hope that's understandable .. 😞

maybe ill get myself together quickly soon and start working on requests and maybe queue them ? I'll start when I feel much more ready and stable to do so or something like that , maybe I'll be back in a week or a few or something idk

anyways thanks if u read all of this or something

Was in a doodling mood, so, happy birthday @muffinrecord !

Partially wanted to do this as a lil thank you for all the efforts you've put into making MagiReco content easily accessible to people like me who were late to the party and insane enough to stick around lmao. This community's dedication to preservation and translations are just absolutely insane to me and I really respect everyone's work. And everyone's just really fun to interact with in general, I love it here.

Hope you have/had a pleasant day!

peace and love!!!!

What’s this? A kiwi comfort fic about Eli thats not actually coming from a breakdown of yours truly? Unheard of!

Anyways yeah, I’m tired and wanted comfort vibes so i wrote them. There’s (very brief) discussion of depression (basically just acknowledging it exists) and of self deprecating thoughts. This is pure fluff tho

Takes place before Eli gets caught up in her LU adventure, and yes these two are oblivious friends with mutual crushes on each other (key word: oblivious)

Anyways fic under cut! 615 words

Eli stared at the moon, somehow both sad and numb. Depression is weird. She let her thoughts wander, only putting in minimal effort to redirect the self deprecating ones (to little success).

Footsteps approach, and a familiar voice snaps her out of her thoughts and back into reality.

“Hey, you okay Pixie?”

Eli looked over to see none other than Link, concern painted across his features.

“O-oh, hey Link. I didn’t see you there. What brings you here this time of night?”

He recognized the attempt to avoid the question, but decided to answer hers first before repeating his own.

“Was taking care of some business in some of the towns nearby, and I finished up late. Also, I was kinda hoping to see you.” His cheeks flushed pink and he rubbed the back of his neck, averting his eyes.

Link followed with a question before you could fully process what he had said. “Which brings me back to my question, are you okay? What’s up?”

“I-”

“And don't say ‘I’m fine’ because something’s clearly bothering you. Is your depression acting up again?”

Eli sighed. “It's just… particularly heavy right now. And uh. The thoughts are back, too.”

“Ah.” Link nodded, taking a seat on the bench beside Eli and opening his arms for a hug. She accepted, burying her face into his chest with a sniffle.

Link held her close, stroking her hair gently. “I wish those thoughts would leave my amazingly talented and wonderful friend alone.”

Eli chuckled sadly, melting into his embrace. “Me too,” she added softly.

“Do you want to talk it out, or a distraction?”

Eli sniffled again, Link’s compassion and concern having broke the dam of numbness.

She glanced up at his face, flustering a little at the genuineness in his expression. “Can you just stay here with me for a little?”

He smiled and nodded. “Of course. I can stay as long as you’d like.”

They sat outside for a while, discussing the various constellations that were visible and the stories they knew behind some of them (mostly learned from Zelda).

After a while, Eli’s eyes began to grow heavy and she found herself resting her head on Link’s shoulder. Link hummed softly, wrapping an arm around her shoulders as he gazed at the stars.

As he expected, Eli was asleep within seconds.

Link smiled, carefully moving to pick her up without waking her. He carried her inside her house, gently setting her down in her bed and adjusting the blankets over her petite frame.

Eli stirred lightly, mumbling something incoherent in a questioning tone.

Link chuckled softly. “Go back to sleep, silly. You’re okay.”

He brushed the hair from out of her face, and it took every bit of willpower he possessed to not give her a kiss to the forehead.

Once Eli was settled in and sleeping soundly, Link got up and wrote her a note for the morning, placing it on her nightstand alongside a glass of water. Satisfying that she was taken care of, he silently left, locking the front door behind him.

~~~~~~

Bonus:

“Eli-

Good morning sleepyhead! Make sure you drink lots of water, and don’t forget to eat! How about you, Zelda and I have lunch together today? You know where to find us if you’re interested.

In case you need one, here’s another reminder that you are amazing, talented, and have So Much worth. Those self deprecating thoughts lie to you, and I’ll be more than happy to remind you of that fact whenever it’s necessary.

I hope you slept well, and dreamt of happy and peaceful things. Come check in with me if you have the time today, okay?

I will NEVER not fuck with women using a traditionally masculine title. Tell me more about that girl that's also a prince.

"You just have to look closely."

[aphel1on]

nothinggg better than torturing an emotionally repressed character until every single trauma they've ever refused to process starts spilling uncontrollably out of the cracks. like a matryoshka doll situation of repressed trauma and baby you better believe i'm going in there with a hammer

[pangur-and-grim]

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

(look at what i have to offer) — this is the spider's nest.

[mambodork]

This is definitely how it went down

[gibbearish]

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

[lovediarymp3]

this is just gonna be me rambling about splatoon and how grandfest made me emotional lol so ye

man. where the hell do i even start. when i think of th.ree wis.hes i think of like. all the memories that i had playing sp.la.t3 whether alone or with my friends. and i also think about the day that i f/od emperor and the joy i felt. like pure geninue joy.

i guess what really attracted me to spla.too.n was pretty much everything about it. the world building, the characters, the songs, the art. everything. even the colors. it all feels so comforting and it just makes me feel safe. and i know a lot of other people feel the same way.

and i feel so happy that i can revist gra.ndf.est thru my pearl ami.ibo i got before. because now i can just go there whenever i feel upset. i wont ever forget the day i got into spla.too.n. i remember december 2022. i remember watching the anarchy rainbow mv on repeat, i remember instantly becoming a frye fan the second i saw her. how insane that it's gonna be 2 years since that day, and its 2 whole years since sp.la.t3 came out.

even though i know i havent been doing alright for 3 months, this whole fest was like. every single idol and emperor hugged me. a biiiig group hug! i was even thinking of emp today! i just feel all mushy and even though burnout and school are powerful beasts, i know that i love splatoon, i always will.
