LU Star Wars AU: Part 5

LAST BUT NOT LEAST ITS TIME AND SKY LETS GO

PART 1 | PART 2 | PART 3 | PART 4

Time

Time is a direct survivor of Order 66. He was a child living in one of the more remote temples when everything happened, and was able to escape alive by fleeing into the dense forests of the planet.

Time spent many years after that traveling on his own and not getting close to anyone out of fear of being found out, or worse, left behind. He holds a certain bitterness towards everything that's happened, and when he was a teenager, he was involved in a major incident on the planet Termina. Time finally decided to bury his saber on a remote planet after that, unwilling to take on the responsibility that comes with it.

Time actually ended up meeting Sheik and donning Mandalorian armor some time after that in his teenage years. He doesnt always gel with Mandalorian warrior ideaology, but he doesn’t truly fit the Jedi way of his childhood anymore either, after all the war and death he’s seen. He's determined to be strong enough to protect those he cares about, like Malon.

Time doesn't entirely get along with the Chain at first. (Especially Warriors and Twilight; Warriors reminds him of his old Jedi master, who wore a red scarf, and Twilight's saber looks suspiciously familiar.) The boys eventually grew on him anyway, and he counts them among the people he cares about.

Sky

Sky comes from a gaseous planet in the Outer Rim with settlements that float in the clouds, constructed far above its surface.

Sky's planet is a bit of a cosmic mystery, since it should be impossible for islands of solid rock to float; some theorize that it was constructed instead of naturally occurring, or that there is a unique combination of magnetic fields and orbits that make it possible, but no one knows for certain. Loftwings are part of the planet's ecosystem of impossible floating islands, and are an important part of the culture there.

Being so remote, the Empire didn't show much interest in Sky's home planet until Ghirahim showed up. The Empire hasn’t taken over his home yet, and he is determined to keep it that way, along with the rest of the Knights of Skyloft (including Sun). Ghirahim's interest in the planet involved rumors that there was an old Jedi temple hidden on its surface, and the secrets that were hidden within it.

Those rumors turned out to be true; there was an ancient abandoned temple on one of the floating islands, and Sky and Sun ended up discovering it before Ghirahim did. Sky also found a protocol droid named F1, and with Fi's help he and Sun managed to forge their own sabers with the only remaining kyber crystals there.

Sky's connection to the Force manifests mostly as visions, and he occasionally experiences strange, cryptic dreams as a result.

Before tears of the kingdom came out, I was watching a video on youtube that talked about volcanic signs around hyrule. As they pointed out what different structures around death mountain and akkala could've been, I started seeing those kinds of structures and shapes everywhere and I realized..

Hyrule is on top of a very large volcanic area

I started looking for signs. I realized there were hot springs in tabantha, and hot springs is not just something that cold regions have, no, it's something volcanic regions have.

When tears of the kingdom came out one of my top priotities was to get to the depths and see if there's lava underneath these hot springs, and sure enough there they were! Not only that, I found volcanic shapes in the depths themselves, as well as lava in other places I didn't know about.

Why am I talking about this?

Because they're not just there as decorations, at least not to me.

Look at Hyrule great forest. It obviously used to be a big forest spanning from above hyrule castle all the way to the top of the map, covering the west part of death mountains foot. Now the trees are all burned down from a volcanic eruption, except for in two regions that have strangely moat-looking "rivers" around them.

I'm not going to pretend I believe these are rivers. I'm 100% sure they are man made. These moats were dug in order to protect important land marks, because the people knew that they live on a volcanic region. It's no coincidence that the castle has a huge moat around it as well. They are trying to be safe from their inevitable doom.

But it's not just this. Moats don't always save you, and volcanoes eventually go dormant.

I imagine if you're the least interested in zelda lore and the zelda timeline, you've asked yourself the question, "Why does the map change so drastically?". Well, here's your answer.

Death mountain isn't just any mountain, it's always the most recently active volcano and the place where the gorons live! The gorons move around, when there's a new volcano they move there!

Towns safety become threatened, and so they move. Look at the ruins on the sides of death mountain, they're not burned, they're abandoned. So the people move around, they literally have no choice but to do so, unless they take to drastic measures, like raising your town high above the ground and building a wall around it, like the great plateau.

Why are the sheikah towers buried under ground and designed to shoot up with incredible force? Why not just build them in place and why do they need to be so tall? Maybe they were preparing them to be able to function even after lava has covered the ground.

The extremely mountainous nature of all of hyrule is honestly the best sign we have of this. By looking at the mountains we can conclude where the latest volcano was, and I think it was in Hebra.

So when trying to piece together how the maps work together, you can't look at things like a town, a castle or a volcano, because those things are constantly moving. I'd say maybe the desert could be the way to go, but we've seen very clearly that deserts used to be oceans. If you look to the horizon in gerudo desert in botw, you'll see water.

I think that the gorons migrate when their volcano gets too cold. If we look at majoras mask and assume that termina is in fact a real place, this is the first time we see gorons living in a cold place, and they don't seem to be thriving. Gorons like the warmth that the volcano provides.

So why does death mountain switch places?? Because it's not the same mountain! Death mountain is always the volcano! So one volcano goes dormant, another one pops up and the gorons move there. And this also explains a loooooot of other geographical questions. The people of hyrule are living under a constant threat of destruction by volcano, and that's why they need to move their castles and everything. If we were to assume the temple of time from ocarina of time is the same as in breath of the wild, we clearly see they moved/abandoned the castle and castle town because of the close proximity of death mountain in ocarina of time. It all makes a lot of sense and makes me feel like the map changing isn't such a big problem to me anymore.

DANCING WITH FIERCE DANCING WITH FIERCE DANCING WITH FIERCE DANCING WITH FIERCE DANCING WITH FIERCE DANCING WITH FIERCE

Ahem...

How bout a fic where we share, maybe teach Fierce how to dance?

I am living for these fics

I love this idea!! One dance scene coming up, and I'll throw in some /drama/ to sweeten the deal ;)

Smooth

Pairing: Fierce Deity x Reader

Warning(s): some possessive thoughts, but nothing crazy

Masterlist

It was a preposterous idea, in the Fierce Deity's opinion; far too poignant to be introduced at the breakfast table, much less to the likes of him.

"I've picked up the waltz," the Link called 'Warrior' preened, leaning forward to fix you with a gaze the deity couldn't help but loathe. Of course, you were your own person and free to do as you pleased, though that sentiment did nothing to stem the flow of... he dare say it was jealously, through his veins. "I'd be happy to show you, if you'd like."

But sweet, unassuming you only grinned at him from across the table. "I know that one too! Anyone heard of the square dance?"

"I have, but 'm no good," Twilight chimed in, fork piled high with the eggs you and Wild made.

"I can dance on any ship mast!" Wind proclaimed, looking pointedly at everyone before his gaze settled on you. "If we ever end up in my world I'll teach you!"

"I can't wait," there it was, the soft smile that never failed to frame your face when you were truly happy. Fierce hoped you never lost it. Picking at the last of your food, you turned to the deity beside you. "How about you, big guy? You can't tell me you haven't danced at least once."

The Fierce Deity felt a sort of melancholy at your words, mostly because he had not, in fact, danced at least once and partly because impressing you was typically the highlight of his day. "I," he could feel Time's working eye on him, as cerulean as the Termina sky and twice as calculating. "am not familiar with the dances of this world."

That seemed the safest response, and the deity was relieved he could think as quickly on his buttocks as he could on his feet. When understanding settled in your gaze, he knew he made the right choice. "Well, allow me to impart some moves on you in case someone asks for your hand on the floor."

Aside from the fact that he had heard none of those words in the same sentence together, and that he would likely never accept the hand of anyone but you, the Fierce Deity could only helplessly nod, no more ensnared than a fish in a net. At night, your sway over him would be so baffling that he could hardly close his eyes, too caught up in the great mysteries of the heart he didn't know he possessed. "I would like that."

And so it was decided. The conversation devolved to you detailing all the errands the day required, and there was no shortage of help when it came to your needs–you had given them a home, food, and good company, so how could Time and Twilight refuse tending to the petunias, or Wild and Sky the cooking? Hyrule looked as though he would sooner restart his hero's journey than gather ingredients for the stew you had planned for dinner, while Legend's expression indicated that he would rather fight the beast Volga a thousand times over than not assist with laundry, never mind the amount of soiled clothes eleven people undoubtedly generated a week. Four's eyes resembled a mismatched kaleidoscope (he had been quite disturbed when you let him use yours, but the Fierce Deity wasn't one to shy easily) when you asked if he wanted some scrap metal from the neighbor's garage sale, and Wind was downright ecstatic when you invited him to the grocery store. Warriors gaze practically held heart-eyes when you informed him that the sewing materials to fix his ripped scarf would be arriving in the afternoon, only souring when you delegated the last task to the Fierce Deity himself: dance lessons at 4.

It was a laughable thought that his only responsibility was to prepare for lessons on dance, but the Fierce Deity was not one to complain at the newfound freedom, as if you had never offered it before. The tasks you laid out were simply requests, and it was clear that they could back out at any time, not that any of them would, of course. The Fierce Deity knew your behavior would have never passed in his world, and it was one of the things he admired about you, a mere mortal who could convince them of anything. He saw it in Time's eyes, in Twilight's and Wind's and Wild's. Devoted was too soft a word to describe it, but there was no better one.

And as you began to gather plates, chirping happily about the great weather, he began to believe that maybe, just maybe, it was.

You found the Fierce Deity in the living room, sat beside Time and Warriors, their eyes practically glued to the episode of Family Feud playing on the TV. You found it funny how much they enjoyed the show, though you supposed it was a bid to learn more about your culture without having to ask you about every little thing. Wind had even begun to use slang, and while you were proud, his use of 'bro' was simply out of control at times, though nothing could top the time Twilight tried to use 'rad' in a sentence.

Leaning against the wall, you fake-coughed, tapping your watch when they turned to look at you. "Hey, Fierce, you ready to get some moves?"

Despite the obvious differences in word choice between the two of you, Fierce nodded solemnly and followed you to the backyard. A large 'patio' extended nearly to the middle of the yard, and his boots clomped obnoxiously on the slate-colored stone. It had been one of the only articles you allowed him to wear everywhere, as the people of your world tended not to be fond of men in armor that carried swords bigger than they were, which led to several heated discussions from you about proper dress. The Fierce Deity tugged on the sleeves of his grey 'shirt', a gift from you when you realized he was a bit large to shop at regular stores.

"We should be good here," you stated, hands poised on your hips. "I still can't believe you've never danced at all."

"It is not uncommon," responded the Fierce Deity. "Song and dance are for people of mirth."

You raised an eyebrow. "You don't consider yourself a 'person of mirth'?"

"I am the god of war," for a moment, the bitterness in his gaze was almost palpable. "There is no happiness in battle."

"Not even victory?" You were curious of the Fierce Deity, of what the lens of divinity really entailed. Had it truly made him cold, or was it merely a front?

"Especially not victory," he intoned, and you were nearly consumed with the urge to hug him. You'd never denied the vast differences your lives held, but it still stung to hear him speak so... despondently.

"Well," you patted his shoulder in an attempt to lighten the mood. You had. "We haven't had a world war in, like, years, so don't worry your pretty little head about it!"

The Fierce Deity raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment on your choice of words, much to your relief. Clapping your hands together, you changed the subject. "You have a very waltz-y style, so we'll start with that."

You offered him your hands, which he took with no hesitation. Contrary to your assumption, his porcelain skin was warm to the touch, and just as smooth. You couldn't help but wonder if all deity's were like this, or if it was merely another thing that set him apart from the gods. Carefully, you brought your right arm up, encouraging his to follow suit, then placed the palm of his right hand on your side, sliding your left hand up to rest on the curve of his bicep. "You're going to want to hold your arm up like this–and keep your hand under my arm like so."

"Then you step back with your right foot," you said as you stepped forward with your right. "Aaand take another step so both feet are parallel."

It was a testate to the Fierce Deity's character that he followed your movements with nary a grunt. Stark eyes burned holes into your own. The Fierce Deity was a man of few words, so you supposed it was fate that you had more than enough to share. "Now you're going to take a step with your left," your shoes clicked on the stone as you stepped back carefully. "Then another so your feet are parallel, and now move them together."

The Fierce Deity did just that, brows set in concentration. His dedication was flattering in a soft way, as was the thought that a god thought you were important enough to dance with. You had no doubt that he wouldn't have agreed if he didn't want to, though you could still hardly comprehend his interest in you, a mere mortal. Surely there were more compelling souls he could associate with, or were you simply a distraction from the shock of living in a new world? You tried not to think too hard, shooting the deity a practiced grin. "And that's all there is to it!"

Instead of pulling away, Fierce began anew, until you were dancing in the middle of the patio like no one's business. If dancing with a deity wasn't on your bucket list before, it sure was now.

"You are a good teacher," were the Fierce Deity's first words in however long you'd been outside. He was close enough that you could feel the steady puffs of his breaths, and you doubted you would ever feel quite as protected as you were now. "I shall treasure this experience."

Well, if that wasn't the sweetest thing you had heard today. "I'm glad, you're doing great!"

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it did. "Are you familiar with more dances?"

"A few," you shrugged. "Square dancing, the waltz... and the tango, but don't quote me."

The question in his pupil-less eyes was clear: when did you have the time? Time was a fickle concept, and it didn't surprise you that the Fierce Deity wouldn't have any left for song and dance. Yet here you stood, locked in a creative embrace that he should have scorned. What about you could have intrigued the deity so, or at least enough for him to request dance lessons?

Not that you minded, you would never mind.

"Do you want to learn those too?"

The Fierce Deity's head jerked up and down, ruffling his unusually impeccable bangs. You had no idea what sorcery he employed to achieve such an effortless look, but you wanted in. "Has your hair always been this long?"

His grip on your waist tightened a fraction, gaze practically burning a hole into your skull. "Yes."

Hair held memories, so what mysteries did his carry? Stories within strands, just begging to be discovered. Most importantly, would he allow you to read them, or were you simply grossly overestimating your relationship?

"I had it cut," the deity spoke, effectively coloring you surprised. "once."

"Only once?"

"It was during my service," it was back--the tone he used when he was only humoring you. You swayed across the cobblestone, ears perked for his next words. "I did not like it."

You... you could tell. "You don't say..."

"Do you cut your hair?"

"I do," you had no idea why admitting that felt embarrassing. "Not often, but enough that it doesn't get split ends."

"Split... ends?" By the way he said it, you would have assumed it was a curse. That and the fact that he apparently was oblivious to haircare other than what you assumed to be sorcery.

"...You don't know what those are?" His blank expression said all, so you coughed and stood a bit straighter. "It's when your hair grows to long and the ends just... split. Getting regular hair cuts and using good products helps."

"I... see," just when you thought that was the end of it, the madness continued. "And these products you speak of?"

Was he... did he really want to learn about human haircare? You supposed your hands were tied on the matter, so you heaved a sigh. "It's an umbrella term; there's hair masks, shampoo and conditioner, oils, butters–"

"You apply butter to your hair?" came a new, incredulous voice. Warriors and Wild strode out from the patio door, the former's scarf looped around his nose and mouth in a manner that made you wonder if you should be nervous. You attempted to release Fierce, but he refused, hold only tightening. "Dude– what's up, Wars, Wild?"

"Where's the... Hylia, I can't remember the name for the life of me," Wars scratched his head and groaned. "The red cylinder–"

"You mean the fire extinguisher?" You asked incredulously, trying and failing to hide your mounting terror.

Warriors grinned and snapped his fingers. "That's it! So...?"

"It's under the sink," you deadpanned. "Please tell me the kitchen isn't on fire."

"Okay, we won't," said Wild, already jogging backwards. You sighed as they retreated back into the house, the acid scent of smoke fingering in through the cracked windows.

"God give me strength–"

"You may utter that once more," said the deity with an exhausted expression.

Other than his horrible euphemism for 'you can say that again', you completely agreed with that statement. "I'd love to stay, but I really don't have the money to get a new microwave," you said a tad sheepishly, weaseling from his slackened grip. "You've got the talent, and don't you forget it!"

It was only until you disappeared inside the house that the Fierce Deity released the sigh he had been holding... and the arm that had raised in a half-hearted attempt to draw you back. 'Pitiful' was the first word to come to his mind when he thought of you; he was a god, and yet he was practically helpless to the whims of a mortal. He wondered how the goddesses saw him now, tamer than a sparrow in a golden cage and more obedient than a hound on a leash. Perhaps it was wonder that drew him closer, emboldened by the terrifying presence of love in his barren heart. There were so many different types of love, and the Fierce Deity liked to think he felt at least one of them toward you. It would certainly explain the uncomfortable feeling in his chest when one of the others had your attention. But, rational as he was, the deity knew attempting to control you would be like trying to stem a raging river. Not that he wanted to, he simply desired your eyes on him, your hands in his own, warm and soft with gentle promises of comfort. He wondered if you would make good on your word, because, really, the concept of dance lessons was a preposterous idea–the Fierce Deity didn't dance at the whims of mortals–and he would be eternally grateful to the goddesses for granting him that pleasure.

This ask is insanely on time because I JUST learned how to square dance yesterday at college. Also this is an unofficial part of Knightmare in Toronto <3

[weepingtalecowboy]

A funny thing I noticed when playing Hyrule Warriors is just how much friendly fire happens anytime you use any sort of special or simply swing your weapon

And now I headcanon that it actually happens in game

The only ones with relatively small radius of attack range are the more sensible ones like Zelda, Impa along with Maybe Link and Lana and a few others if you play carefully enough

But the great fairy, toon link even Marin , definitely princess Midna and her gigantic wolf and even the hero of termina are definitely not careful as in it is nearly impossible to not hit someone on your side with the big attacks they have

Like bringing down a moon ,summoning a literal train or having a big animal stomp around and attacking people and then a god whale falling from the sky is really dangerous

And I am pretty sure that someone died from it every single time they did it

And the only reason why they are not locked up is the fact that the kingdom needs any kind of help they can find and settle for several unhinged wildcards

I am pretty sure that the only reason why they got sent back is because they were a bother and Queen Zelda wants them gone because of the amounts of paperwork she needs to do because of them

And considering that they all no doubt can’t be put near normal soldiers she actually would probably be forced to make a camp for them as far away as possible because there is no way that midna would actually accept that she can’t summon her wolves in a normal camp

And that costs money to make an extra dorm for over thirty people who all are essentially gods that often break stuff and people

The reason why link is there is to babysit all of them along with Impa because if someone is upset about something they can probably destroy the entire kingdom and that can't happen by any circumstances because they have no way of stopping them

And even worse if they decided to fight eachother then a good portion of the army would be gone from stray attacks

Considering just how easy and manageable it is to defeat Cia when you know how to play the game (mashing aggressively with all characters) she probably would be the least of their concerns but the amount of special spawning you have to do would probably be equal to several bombs going off in one place

There would be a lot of casualties in such a scenario especially if everyone is in one place (which they kind of are but luckily not too close to hit each other

But it is also really fun to consider how strategic the kingdom had to be to find ways to defeat the other side without losing their own army because of the amounts of gods they have

And then when linked universe happened I will always think that the entire city was just afraid of both Wind and time for the things that happened in the war of eras

Would be fun to see a fanfiction about it

[pavdaily]

Do you have any headcanons for Pav? :)

yes

war and motherland

termina is anachronistic of course, so i am allowing any holes to thrive comfortably

i place his age during termina at 33 and his enlistment in his teens. i play around with him enlisting at 16. this would mean 17 years of service, which makes sense for a lieutenant colonel. this would also mean he enlisted sometime in the late 1920s when doing so voluntarily was possible and when kaiser was rising to power.

pav is the funger equivalent of belarusian. this is because i know more about belarus than other former soviet nations, and i am more comfortable writing what i know. (he speaks russian in one of my old posts, and i wish i could change it) this headcanon is also why i was very happy to draw pav in vyshyvanka for anon

we know that pav lost his family through an invasion during the first great war; belarus was invaded by germany in WWI, and many lives were lost.

youth and family

i believe pav's parents had him when they were older, and that he has an elder sister who left home as soon as he entered adolescence. his friends and relatives lived in the village with him. he spent his childhood roughhousing with his male cousins. the women he knew best were older women with traditional worldviews he had disdain for and a hormonal teenage sister he did not get along with. with these combined factors in mind, he developed sexist attitudes in his youth.

pav was easy to get along with as a child. he was brave and adventurous, even if he was not very talkative with strangers. he was happy with his village & the forests that surrounded it. he didn't really dream of travelling beyond. his teen years were soured by the great war and he underwent a transformation into a jaded and disconnected person. because, really, he would have gone crazy otherwise

i think it makes sense for him to be raised by worshippers of alll-mer but that his family's religion isn't very relevant to his upbringing besides sundays at the orthodox church and of course it fostering some core tenets of his worldview. as religion does. i do believe if this was the case, he would lose faith during the war or at least would not hold back his criticism of the religion.

gender and sexuality

there is a joke on my blog that pav is aroace. i did this because i am aroace. i do not believe it is true for him, but i do think he would have an aversion to sex & romance and that his behavior in the game is performative and caricaturistic. so that's where the joke comes from.

i believe pav is a cisgender man with attitudes typical of the time and a strange flamboyant flair that he easily abandons under duress. his sexuality could really be anything; it isn't very relevant to his character overall.

random

he likes nutty ice creams, nutmeg and chocolate

his favorite color once was green

he doesn't like alcohol much

he remembers people's names but not their faces. this is the case for one of his late friends

if he lived long enough to see the beatles he would not like them

he likes elk

[vicmillen]

Random LU/LU au headcanons that I really like:

Four is the actual oldest. Just, the irony of the team's shortest being a man in his mid thirties? Beautiful.

None of them is 'normal', none. They each appeared to be, depending on the occasion, but none of them is normal.

Wild, Time and Legend suffer from the resting bitch face syndrome. Well resting blank face, as I prefer to call it. It's just how they looks when they're relaxed. They do tend to make somewhat of an cold first impression because of it.

Time's age doesn't match his appearance. But he isn't older then he looks, he's younger. He somehow got stuck as a kid after Termina and resulted to magical intervention (again) to grow up. If it overshot by a few years or seven... Well at least he's tall now, and the difference between 18 and 25 isn't that obvious anyway.

Time also get his marks and lost his eye somewhere around that 'second growth spurt'. He never told people how exactly he got them, because he isn't entirely sure either. The whole few weeks around that time are a blurry mess in his memory. Same with his exact age, he doesn't know because he's adopted by a tree, and trees aren't the best at keeping Hylian months.

Wild doesn't have visible scars, like at all, not before the shrine and not after. It is actually unnerving how he heals completely. However the scars does shows up if you use any kind of truth revealing items. Like Legends magic mirror or Time's mask/lens. And Robbie's goggles too. Under those lenses Wild glows with Sheikah tech blue, because there's so many patches that the shrine of resurrection has to make.

On the topic of healing, Wild consumes food the way Master Cycle Zero consumes fuel. He doesn't need to eat physical to heal, just burns them through his slate. It's just one of the things that became his new normal after the shrine. He's part divine beast now...

Wind owns a eye patch and wears black 'eyeliner'. The eye patch is for battle on a ship, to keep one eye acclaimed to darkness in case they need to barge under deck. The black paint under the eyes is for reducing glare from the waves, according to Tetra at least. Obviously he don't wear the eye patch when he's on land, but still.

Wild (and most of the chain too, actually) gets non-verbal when they're stressed. Tho the others have more experience with managing communication, and Wild just, never needed to.

Sky needs that much naps because he sleeps very poorly. Out of everyone in the chain he is the surprising insomniac, staying up well past midnight and sometimes crashing in mid day as a result. Sleeping with others close by helps tho, small mercies.

There's more, oh so much more, but I hit post instead of edit in the drafts (again) so here we are...

[sleepingdayaway]

idk if requests are still open, but if so, would you be willing to do some more player!reader and oot/mm young Link with a big/little sibling or parent/child kind of relationship? Not necessarily in a LU or HW context but can be if u wanna. If requests are in fact closed feel free to disregard this lol. Love your writing! <3

JHDFHBEFVINEW I LOVE MAJORA'S MASK LINK SMMM HE'S MY SON

I can definitely do a stand alone version!! Sometimes it's nice to just gush about Majora's Mask! Also thank you for reading my silly stories, I'm so glad you and others are enjoying <33 I'm sorry if it's short and yknow just realized I can never make him be happy, sorry it's how I show affection.

The blood in his ears is roaring as the young boy tries to get his breathing under control as he stares up at the Clock Tower. In a few hours he'll have to go up and face the Skull Kid again, but this time he won't have to play the Song of Time again just to prepare. The boy feels his throat swell up just by thinking about it. His vision on the edge of blurring as he tries to will the tears away.

He's nervous yet he shouldn't be, this fight is nothing compared to his battle with Ganon. At least, he didn't fail this town for 7 years. Except Ganon was a battle that was determined for him long before he was born, this one was something that was just thrown upon him. In his heart he can't allow these people to die by the falling moon.

His view of the clock tower is ruined by the tears he tried desperately not to let fall. He's stuck as a 10 year old even if mentally he was no longer the fairy boy that began this journey. Barking from the wild dog in the square isn't helping with his mood, nor is the loud voices of the construction workers as they prepared for the festival. Some stubborn to pretend that their home wouldn't be destroyed by the grinning moon.

Until the sound of footsteps coming closer to him causes him to tense up, and attempt to wipe the tears away. A shadow is cast over his face as it goes down as the person gently guides his face lower to face them. His tears freely fall down his cheeks as his smaller hands clutch the ones holding him. Link's eyes open to look at the person who's kneeling in front of him.

A soft smile is on their face once Link's eyes has opened up. [Name] stares down at him fondly; there is no hint of disgust nor any emotion of exasperation on their face. In all honesty, they were getting a bit worried about him since this entire journey he was putting on a brave front.

That's right.

[Name] has been exploring with him from the moment he entered Termina as a Deku Scrub. He remembers meeting them for the first time inside the Clock Tower with the Happy Mask Salesman, an eccentric man, who would help Link, return to how he was, in return for his mask. [Name] was there with them and volunteered to assist Link in collecting it; their excuse was that it would be better if he had a helping hand. although tatl would disagree at first.

Link was unsure of [Name] when they left the tower. He didn't know if they joined, purely for the thought of wanting to help him, or because they had alternative motivations. But it was shown that they did wanted to help him without anything in return. Assisting in playing hide-n-seek with the Bomber gang, and exploring the Astral Observatory.

When the first three days were ending and they stood side by side, staring up at the Skull Kid watching as he called the Moon closer, did an idea form in his head. Using the ability of the deku; he struck at the imp and was able to obtain his ocarina. Link quickly holds onto his instrument and is about to play until he stops to stare at [Name].

[Name] was smiling at him and for a moment he's reminded of ----

His breath hitches as he realized who they were, and why their voiced sounded so familiar. He slowly pulls away from the ocarina, but they speak up, "Don't falter now, Link. I'll be with you from the beginning. Save Termina."

Upon his return and being able to return as a human did he actively seek them out and dragged [Name] around in search of the four giants across the land. From exploring the swamp, and helping the monkey prove his innocence, to saving the Deku Princess from the temple, and fighting the boss. Did [Name] stuck through with him, and was quite adept at the bow and arrows they arrived with.

Link never questioned how [Name] remembered the first cycle, nor did he ask if they remembered his first journey; too afraid that they'll react negatively. So once more they explore the land together and they're together for every cycle until they were ready to face Majora. Enjoying the presence of a someone he once thought was lost forever.

But each cycle wears him down. The never ending thinking and planning about what is needed to do next. When Link acquired the bomber's notebook and realized that the people of Termina has regrets that hasn't been recovered. He placed the burden of the people's wishes on his shoulders with the intent of making sure that when he leaves. The people are happy.

Yet here he stands crying out for comfort as his own mask of strength crumbles. [Name] soothingly running their hand through his hair as they hummed the Song of Healing for him. Link clutches onto their clothes as he openly weeps. He mourns Hyrule for the 7 years he was gone, he mourns Saria, the Deku Tree and the children of the korkiri forest, his home. The childhood that stripped away from him the moment he chose to save Hyrule.

Finally, he mourns the feeling of [Name] leaving him when his journey ended. Leaving him alone and become desperate to leave just to search for them. Link lost the only person he could truly call family and has now reunited again, but for how long?

So, Link plays the Song of Time.

He takes them back to the Dawn of the First Day.

He just wants to spend more time with them.

For once, the world can wait three more days.

When he opens his eyes; he's back at the entrance of Clock Tower as Tatl is shouting at him about why he decided to go back in time. Link ignores the temperamental fairy and carries himself over to [Name]. Who waits for him, without fail, in the area where the Great Fairy resides. The same accepting and knowing smile on their face as they embrace the young boy with open arms.

The most important number in Kirby, Number Four

I've seen a pattern in the Kirby Series that not many have talked about, or at least not that I'm aware of, being a consistent number in the saga, Number 4.

From the easiest to hardest things to spot this number we have:

How you can only use four players in games like Return to Dreamland and Star Allies.

The Four Heroes of Yore and Heart Spears.

Kirby's most famous friend group, Kirby, Bandee, Dedede and Meta Knight, being Four People.

Amazing Mirror's Four Kirbys

Kirby's main knights (Meta, Dameta, Galacta and Morpho, although this may be a coincidence.)

Elfilin's Kidnapping on the Fourth World

Star Allies' Four Worlds.

Void Terminas' Four Phases in Star Allies.

Four main groups in Star Allies for each DLC.

Four main members of the Jambastion Cult

The Four Matters of Void (Heart, Soul, Darkness and Dreams)

The odd use of fourths on some final boss battles (Sectonia's Four Eye flowers in her final phases, Star Dream's four legs on the Access Arc Phase, etc

Kirby's majority of the OST being in 4/4

Four voices voicing Void Termina

Etc

Now, what Number Four means, varies on what source you ask.

In numberology, It means, Support and Stability, rooting to care about yourself and your life.

In Tarot, it means Kingship, Power and Authority.

But the one most should be familiar with, is the common one which states that Number Four is a number that represents Death and bad luck.

What do you think? Does it make sense? Am I reaching too deep? Found other sightings on the number four in the Kirby series I missed?

apologies

A small Yandere! Levi x reader fic inspired by @yanderes-galore 's fic!

You believed it better to be alone - now that you've seen the glint in his eyes whenever he steadies the gun. But at least you thought yourself special enough not to be aimed by it.

character: Levi Jořdán from Fear and Hunger 2: Termina TW: yandere behavior, guns, angst, Levi shoots your legs, assault, violence, blood, physical restriction, hinting at un-al*ving oneself, nonconsensual and forced kisses, hypocrisy, typical fear and hunger angst

Your breath got caught in your throat and was let out as a sharp gasp as you slipped on your own blood. The handle was so close to you, slipped off your fingers and your shoulder banged against the door. It barely budged and you wondered if he had locked it beforehand.

Again, your hand reached for the handle, nails scratching against the wood, the sharp lock of his pistol ringing through. You heard a clang as your narrowed eyes focused on the exit, then a shift of clothes as Levi put the weapon back into its place. "I'm sorry," Somehow you heard him clear despite your throbbing head. His footsteps grew closer but you felt too afraid to look his way. Your gasp quickly turned into a shriek of pain, having you snap your eyes towards your legs, leaving you know choice, but to look at him and how he grabbed your calve. Levi looked anything but sorry.

"It had to be - I mean, I couldn't just let you leave, not outside." Now on his knees, he scooted closer, his green overall soaking with blood but he barely paid attention to that. His dark eyes stared at your sweat-drenched face. "It's the middle of the night, it's gotten so late...you are safer here, you know you are." Once more you sucked in a deep breath as his other cold hand grabbed a hold of your bleeding limb - with a grunt, you took all the strength that remained and kicked your foot against his stomach - momentarily he stopped and wheezed - before reaching for your leg yet his hold slipped once and twice from his and your bloodied self. Hands pressed hard into the skin, nails digging deep into the flesh. Levi only apologized once more at your cries. You kept on squirming, kicking like a helpless child.

A last cry, so loud Levi feared the monsters and the others heard, left your tight throat burning at his harsh pull. With a swift movement, he crossed your legs and sat his weight on them. "I'm sorry. I really am." Dry and shaking lips parted as he forced himself to take a deep breath. As stiffling as the air in this shack was, it was the only comfort he could find in this unwanted situation, since you refused to offer it. Still, as he opened his eyes he gazed at you with nothing but pity and affection. "But I can't let you leave."

You talked about the dangers. The macabre parasites and monstrosities lurking outside, inside, wherever you stepped foot into this messed up place. You saw the pain in Levi's eyes as he witnessed his hometown and it made you pity him. Perhaps you shouldn't have, then you might not be here lying in your blood.

Now he kept you away from the others from the train as if they were just as brutish. People he was so skittish around.

Only when the mere mention of you fearing the voices and what they might make you do to him made the guy raise his weapon, did you start to doubt him. So naive that you were that an ex-soldier could have any string of sanity left.

Your heart felt heavy and even more so as he scooted closer and put his weight on your chest. His muddied and cold hands cupped your face when you began to tear up. "Please," Levi shook his head with begging eyes, "Stay here. It's better this way."

"And once we turn?" Finally you managed to croak out through tears and snot, "What if that trickster man is right?" Once again Levi shook his head and cooed, wiping your tears. You sobbed louder, from the fear and pain. "...It'll be alright," He lied with a shaking voice and drew his face closer. "No one can get us here, not the monsters and not the others. A-And if we do turn, well...we still got my gun."

Biting your tongue, you sobbed and swallowed your snot. Despite the stickiness and the blood, he seemed unbothered by it as he wiped it away, smiling faintly. Not being able bear to look at it anymore, you stared into his darting eyes with a silent plea that there still was hope - hope for him to snap out of whatever frenzy he was going through or hoping that this was another dream by this so called moon god. Levi stared back with the same intensity. Each second felt like being burnt alive and you were just praying to wake up. Slowly, you could feel his breath fawning over your face, his palms still cupping them firmly. His gaze stayed burning, fervent, as it lowered more and in fear you squeezed your eyes shut. Levi did the same, softly, as he pressed his lips against yours. They were dry and timid, barely moving an inch yet when he felt no resistance, he pressed harder.

The kiss was broken slowly and coldly but Levi wanted to remain close. His breath hit your face as he kept on staring. "Sorry," He whispered, "I just really like you." He let his fingers crawl to your temple, clasping your face more firmly, a dry chuckle escaping him. "You've gotta understand, we wouldn't stand a chance. The other's won't either." Levi's chuckle broke into a crooked grin as he sniffled. "The bullets I got left couldn't fully take your legs off so how could we stand a chance at this festival?" He only shook his head but his smile widened. "Only a bit of time left...can't we spend it together? I like you, I'd rather spend my last moments with you."

Levi ignored your sobs as he leaned his lips down to yours again and again and again.

[yanderes-galore]

so happy that funger requests are open!!! i've been thinking... Marina x Yellow Mage!Darling? like a darling that is a figure kind of similar to O'saa... this knowledgeable, dismissive, powerful mage from a foreign (to Marina at least lol) land that has that yellow mage philosophy of not following or wanting to serve any gods and dedicating your life to sorcery and self improvement and isn't afraid to laugh at other people lol. I remember they had this sort of dynamic in the game of O'saa kind of seeing potential in her but not really being interested in teaching while Marina wanted to learn more about occult stuff from him... would be cool to see a darling like that!! thank you

I'll try my best to make this lore accurate :) As you suggested in another ask, this is a timeline where you both survive the Termina Festival.

Yandere! Marina Concept

Yandere! Marina with Yellow Mage! Darling

(Ending B Timeline)

Pairing: Platonic -> Romantic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Religion, You end up enabling Marina, Stalking, Jealousy, Possessive behavior, Violence, Blood, Murder, Isolation, Kidnapping, Dubious companionship/relationship.

Yellow Mages, according to lore, are mysterious mages who worship and use the blood magic of the Old God Gro-goroth.

However, these people do not devote themselves to worship like other priests... they use their knowledge to benefit their own agendas.

Yellow Mages embrace chaos and aren't concerned with worship, which is already something different than Marina's religion who conduct rituals to appease the Old Gods.

Yellow Mages often expect each other to pursue their own selfish desires, including their apprentices.

Which already gives me ideas....

They seek knowledge of the otherworldly... which is no doubt what brought you to the Termina Festival in the first place.

You meet Marina on the train and you're no doubt the most knowledgeable of the events going on due to your pursuit for knowledge.

You're simply using the festival to fuel your own interests, peering into any sort of information you can.

Marina, being as curious as she is, no doubt finds herself drawn to you.

She's also connected with the occult despite your differences and knows the area well.

You two no doubt speak due to the vast knowledge you both have of blood magic.

I have a feeling this would be a case where the obsession uses the yandere to their advantage.

Due to the selfish behavior of Yellow Mages along with the fact Marina has such an interest in you... you may use her to help yourself.

In fact, I like to think you take her in as an "apprentice" almost due to the fact she follows you so closely.

She, like you, is aware of the dangers this festival holds.

It's occult in nature and as she travels with you... she begins to wonder about your motives.

Her curiosity is what sucks her deeper into her obsession.

For the most part I think her feelings would be similar to her original concept.

Except this time... it isn't just Rher's influence that corrupts her.

It's yours.

As Marina chooses to help you through the festival and learn more about you, she picks up on your beliefs.

She notices you can be cold at times, ambitious, yet very knowledgeable about the Old Gods.

Marina often asks you about certain knowledge as you journey together, wanting to know more.

Even more so if you said something about Marina's church worshiping a darker God similar to O'saa.

You often want to explore and even give some of your own knowledge to Marina.

Your goals may be selfish, yet you treat Marina like some sort of student.

In fact, you may encourage her to give into more... selfish beliefs.

Which is no doubt where things go downhill... all due to you.

The funny thing is, you may not even care as a Yellow Mage.

No, actually, you may see Marina's descent into obsession amusing.

After all, Yellow Mages embrace chaos.

You may even praise her for pursuing things for her own selfish interest.

A Yellow Mage obsession wouldn't be scared upon seeing Marina kill someone for you.

For example, Samarie is most likely her first kill, and when she's done stabbing the dagger... you praise her.

Marina isn't sure how to feel when she looks up at you from her knees, blood covering her blouse and dress.

Her hands are shaking as she drops the blood covered dagger, the crimson leaking into the floor.

Yet you don't abandon her... you tell her she did the right thing.

Be you aware of her obsession or not, you ask her if she did it for her own desires.

When Marina answers with a shaky yes, you nod.

"Then that's all that matters... you're doing well."

Cue Marina realizing she can kill for you or do anything for you along with getting away with it.

Honestly, a Yellow Mage obsession may just make her worse.

Even the party members you have are terrified due to the fact Marina has not only lost it... but you're saying it's fine.

The only member that wouldn't be bothered is if you had O'saa, who completely understands your motives.

By the time you fight Rher, Marina is completely devoted to you.

By this point she's killed for you and clings to you like a lifeline.

She's learned many things from you and appreciates your knowledge.

After your big battle, Marina plans to settle down with you in Valland.

She wants to use her occult skills for a living, to help you.

The unfortunate thing is Yellow Mages like to travel for knowledge.

By the time you defeat Rher, Marina is adamant you settle down with her.

She's tired of having to share you.

Your remaining party members were probably even dealt with by her after the fight.

She doesn't want you to have any more contact with them.

Marina's possessive behavior is amusing to you.

You ask her what she plans to do if you don't settle with her.

You see Marina's gaze darken as she clings to you, blood staining the yellow robes you wear.

"I'll force you to stay with me, to love me, if I have to. You and I belong together after this! I'll find a good home, we'll live together, I'll trap you with me if it makes you love me!"

Her pledge surprises you... yet you find pleasure in it.

She has learned a lot from you.

She's learned to take what she wants.

As a result, you may even choose to give in.

You allow her to take you to Valland, you allow her to find you a home.

You don't care if she puts you in chains or not.

You allow her to pepper you in kisses, to cuddle you tightly.

You allow her to have you in whatever way she wishes.

Meanwhile she finds resources to help you learn.

She helps you... all while you make her worse.

You could leave, you could fight...

But her chaos makes you feel alive.

You want to feed such chaos...

You may even find being with her worth it just to watch.

Canonical evidence of every Fear and Hunger S ending in the Termina

Happy Ending

Cahara's sword in "Happy Ending" is the Sabbath sword you can find at the church. While it was said it was developed by Vatican city in the 1700s, this is also the same city that secretly did human experiences on innocent people to get closer to the old gods so chances are they were lying about this too.

If I had to guess, Cahara used his massive wealth to create weapons against creatures of the night and some of them somehow ended up in the hands of Vatican knights. Maybe one of his family members decided to start their own knighthood against monster and it massively backfired.

The true God of Fear and Hunger

While originally I was on the fence on this one thanks to ending C II, the Kaiser's flesh form was what sold me. That, and the fact that he mentions in his monologue before you fight him how he roamed the earth while out of his mind fits perfectly with Le'grade's derangement after D'arce resurrects him.

The only thing I'm bothered with is how D'arce doesn't have any hints of her existence in Termina. You'd think she'd get at least one name drop if she was the one who brought the Kaiser back from the dead.

The Enlightenment

The ending I'm the happiest is the most canon has got be Enki's just because of the lore drops we get from his skin bibles. It's interesting to note that Enki knew the God of Fear and Hunger was originally a nameless girl and that she was already a demi god thanks to her mother.

It also said that "[The God of Fear and Hunger] was the pure representation of fear and hunger, not spoiled by even a glimmer of hope", which is odd cause the player can and should bring the girl her doll and knife to make her more useful in battle and to make her feel lighter with the situation at hand.

It makes me wonder who brought the girl down to the depths if they made it obvious she was never getting out.

God of Ultra Violence

It's pretty much an open secret now that August is a descendant of Ragnvaldr thanks the cannibalism trait in his soul tree, his friendship with moonless and how the only contestant he truly open ups to is Abella, the only other person from Oldegård. I didn't even notice until I wrote this post that they both even have the exact same hair in their profiles.

It's also nice to know Le'grade is still getting his ass handed to him by a guy who not only got to get the title of a god before him, but also by the clan he build after he escaped the dungeons. Truly a massive L. We love to see it ❤.

My interpretation for Hyness after HiAD, as well as his dynamics with Kirby and all the dream friends

In my verse, Hyness became very slothful after he was freed from the Jamba Heart's influence. He doesn't do much with his life afterwards, and is basically the equivalent of an old man in retirement.

The reason why he's become so slothful is because he's incredibly overwhelmed and worn down by the combination of all the stress that he went under during his corrupted phase and all the guilt that he bears over his actions.

Even though he's exceptionally grateful to Kirby and the star allies team for rescuing him and the Mage Sisters at the end of HiAD, he's not exactly a happy person. If anything, he's actually a little miserable by virtue of all the stress and guilt he has over everything that happened. He does not feel good about any of it. He definitely has some relief that the bad stuff is done, but he's really messed up by all the regret he has over it.

He went through a bunch of pain and suffering while he was corrupted, enough to where it's been having some long-term lingering even after he's better. And he feels awful about what he did to the Mage Sisters. He hurt them really bad, didn't he? It haunts him that he sacrificed them to Void Termina. One of them is still unbreakably devoted to him, but the other two have hang-ups. They're all ultimately a reunited family, but their relationship just simply isn't the same as it once was. They have some complications even after they've been saved in HiAD.

All of these complexities have led to Hyness becoming inactive and lethargic. After being purified, he spends about 95% of his time at his home in the Jambandran Base. He's just chilling out at home and taking it easy. He's basically having a permanent mental break. The Mage Sisters love to commonly go out, have fun and cause chaos, and their dad is just relaxing at home while they do that.

And because Hyness spends the vast majority of his time at home, most of the dream friends very seldom see him after HiAD. The only times they see him post-HiAD is when the Mage Sisters take him with them for a Popstar vacation once every blue moon (and I mean literally once every blue moon). That does happen, and it's why I say 95% as opposed to 100% for Hyness staying home, but most of the Mage Sisters' visits to Popstar and other planets are done without bringing him with them.

This is the reason why Hyness is not in the list of characters that are present in my Google Doc for Kirby Character Dynamics. He barely has much of anything to do with a good chunk of them by virtue of rarely seeing them post-HiAD. That being said, however, I will post his dynamics with Kirby and all the dream friends in this post further down below. Again, many of them very seldom see him. There are exceptions, however. You'll see which ones see him more often than others.

Hyness acts very nice and polite to people that visit the Jambandran Base. However, he can get stressed out easily and is still capable of talking at a million miles an hour if he resorts to starting a rant, so probably not a good idea to set him off. One of the dream friends has ended up causing him to do it once, though.

And now, finally, to his dynamics with a lot of the Kirby cast. Let's start with his daughters.

Zan Partizanne: Zan, being the Mage Sister that's the most devoted to Hyness, is also the most forgiving one. She doesn't hold his actions against him at all, really. She's literally just happy to have him back. It warms his heart. He feels like he doesn't deserve his daughters anymore, but it makes him touched to see that Zan is still unwaveringly indebted to him. She acts as his main caretaker, and thus she's the least outgoing of the Mage Sisters, because she stays home more often than the other two do as she takes more care of Hyness than they do.

Flamberge: This is rather complicated. Flamberge has many hang-ups with Hyness. Early on after HiAD, she was actually pretty uncomfortable around him and didn't have a lot of trust in him. She openly expressed this discomfort to him, and there were even a few instances where she angrily yelled at him because of the baggage over the things he did. However, things do get better later on. They eventually make amends. Flamberge does still care about Hyness as she slowly warms up to him again, but what happened has permanently affected her feelings about him. He completely understands and just feels absolutely horrible about it.

Francisca: Like Flamberge, Francisca also has hang-ups with Hyness, as she was also uncomfortable around him early on after HiAD. Although she hasn't been nearly as argumentative, nor as she ever yelled at him as her fiery sister did that for her, but she still made her hang-ups with him clear. That being said, they do make amends later on. Francisca is more or less on the same stance as her fiery sister when it comes to her feelings about Hyness, as she still cares about him but it's more complicated than before. He understands and doesn't blame her. He's heartbroken that he hurt her.

*Despite the hang-ups that Francisca and Flamberge have with Hyness, there are still moments where they hug him. There's also just some serious baggage involved, as his actions have permanently changed things.

To see Hyness' dynamics with Kirby and all the other dream friends in my verse, click on the 'Keep reading' tag down below. This post is already getting very long as is, so I'm gonna put a tag for you to click on in order to read the rest of it.

Hyness, in a general sense, has gratitude for everyone in the star allies team for saving him, although some of them still have uneasy opinions about him. Honestly, they were more happy about saving the Mage Sisters than they were about saving him.

Here's how he interacts with them individually:

Kirby: Kirby forgives every villain that stops their evil deeds, and Hyness is no exception. The pink puff is very happy to have saved his life and purified him back to his regular self. He considers Hyness to be a friend. And just like Kirby does with all of his friends, he visits him at the Jambandran Base on occasion. Hyness has unbridled gratitude for Kirby. Part of him feels like he didn't really deserve to be saved, but it makes him so emotional that this little guy went out of his way to save him anyways. Quite frankly, Kirby has made Hyness cry happy tears over this more than once. He can't thank him enough. He's hugely indebted to Kirby as a result.

King Dedede: One of the many star allies members that Hyness seldom crosses paths with after HiAD. During the rare instances they do meet, their interactions are polite, but Hyness makes Dedede very uncomfortable deep down. Watching the Mage Sisters get rag-dolled hit way too close to home for Dedede, as it reminded him that he could've done similar things to his waddle dees if Kirby didn't humble him. He's glad that Hyness is purified now, but he can't shake off the discomfort. He wishes him well, though, and vice versa.

Meta Knight: Meta Knight feels discomfort about Hyness for similar reasons as Dedede. He'd never treat his crewmates like what Hyness did to the Mage Sisters. Meta Knight doesn't often express being horrified, but he did so over the things Hyness did in his corruption. After HiAD, these two very seldom see each other, although they do mutually wish each other well.

Bandana Waddle Dee: Another one that Hyness very rarely sees after HiAD, and so there's not much of a relationship between these two. Bandee was terrified of Hyness back in his evil phase, and although he's glad the man is better now, he'd still prefer to keep a distance. Not much else to say here, really.

Magolor: One of the dream friends that Hyness actually sees sometimes outside of his super rare Popstar vacations! This is because Magolor, by virtue of being decent friends with the Mage Sisters, sometimes visits the Jambandran Base. He and Hyness get along very well, enough to even consider each other to be friends. They have informative talks about the Ancients, as well as ancient technology. Hyness thinks that Magolor is a bright-minded and humorous young man, always appreciating his company. Magolor thinks he's an interesting individual and forgives him for what he did.

Marx: Like Magolor, Marx also sometimes shows up at the Jambandran Base due to being good friends with the Mage Sisters, and thus he crosses paths with Hyness more often than many of the other dream friends do. He likes Hyness. They had some not-so-positive interactions early on after HiAD, though, when at one point Marx tried to provoke Hyness into performing another super-fast rant, to which Hyness then snapped and attacked him. They got along better after that, though. Nowadays, Marx just says things to make Hyness laugh. Hyness likes Marx and doesn't grudge about that one instance.

Taranza: Taranza is another one that visits the Jambandran Base sometimes because he's good friends with the Mage Sisters, and so he actually sees Hyness at not an infrequent rate! They're on good and amiable terms. It helps that Taranza is close friends with Zan, and considering his devotion to Sectonia is of similar levels to Zan's devotion of Hyness, Taranza can effectively see Sectonia in him. It makes him sympathize with him and is glad to see he's purified. Hyness really likes Taranza and thinks he's a nice young man.

Susie: Like the three right above her, Susie also sometimes visits the Jambandran Base because she's a close friend of the Mage Sisters, meaning that Hyness sees her more often than many other dream friends. They get along well, although Susie quietly felt awkward around him at first because she's very close friends with Francisca and they both have daddy issues. Susie stays out of the Jamba family's drama, though, and her awkwardness about Hyness reduces once Francisca works things out with him. Hyness likes Susie and is pleased that she's friends with his daughters, especially his icy one.

Gooey: Gooey generally stays in Popstar, and thus it's seldom for him and Hyness to see each other after HiAD. However, during the rare instances where they do meet, they actually get along very well. Gooey is very forgiving like Kirby is, and he likes Hyness! Hyness respects Gooey a lot after learning about his origins. He thinks he's a very sweet and fascinating little guy. He wishes he could see him more often than he does. Gooey would also like that.

Rick & Kine & Coo: They also generally stay in Popstar, and so they rarely ever see Hyness after HiAD. And while they're not grudge-holders, they still feel pretty uneasy about him after witnessing the things he did in front of them and the rest of the star allies team. They're glad he's at least better now and wish him the best, but yeah they barely have a relationship with him at all.

Daroach: Daroach actually visits the Jambandran Base on occasion, and so he and Hyness see each other every once in a while at least. They get along pretty well. Daroach steals from the Jambandran Base, but that doesn't actually upset Hyness. It would, but the Mage Sisters are actually thrilled when Daroach robs the place, because they enjoy chasing after him for it, and they like him. Hyness acknowledges they're all just having fun, and so he likes Daroach. Daroach likes him back and forgives him for what he did.

Adeleine: Adeleine rarely ever sees Hyness after HiAD, and honestly she's not bothered by that. She thought he was really scary during his corrupted phase, and although she's relieved that he's now better, she still considers him to be unnerving. She has no ill-will towards him, though. Not really much else to say for this one.

Ribbon: Another one that Hyness seldom sees after HiAD. That being said, Ribbon doesn't actually mind him now that he's purified, as she's generally braver than Adeleine. The rare instances where she and Hyness interact are generally amiable. There's still not much of a relationship here, though, due to how rarely they meet.

Dark Meta Knight: Even though DMK does have a friendship with Flamberge, he never visits the Jambandran Base as he's not up to travelling all the way there, and thus he and Hyness barely ever see each other again after HiAD. And honestly, DMK doesn't give a crud about Hyness, so he's not upset to hardly ever encounter him.

Nago, ChuChu, Pitch and Shadow Kirby have all also met Hyness during one of his once-every-blue-moon Popstar vacations. Can't say there's much going on there, really. They were all spooked when they learned he was the big villain during the adventure that Kirby and all the star allies partook in, and are glad he's not evil anymore, but other than that they hardly ever see him. Although Nago did let Hyness pet him during their first meet.

Hyness did go with the Mage Sisters to a vacation in the New World because he was curious to check out it, and so he did meet Elfilin, but not much there either aside from Elfilin thinking he's scary. Elfilin is not a fan of the Mage Sisters as he thinks they're scary, and their dad isn't any less scary. They almost never interact after their first meet, though. Doesn't help that Elfilin was informed by some of the dream friends about the events of Star Allies, freaking him the heck out upon learning about Hyness' actions.

That's basically it for this post. As you can see, a lot of the dream friends barely see Hyness again after he's been purified, and truthfully he's still rather controversial in the general opinion of the team. They were all utterly horrified by what he did in his evil phase, and although they're all ultimately glad he's better now, many of them still have uneasy opinions about him.

Thanks for reading if you did.

Would you like to share your thoughts with the public about O’saAbella? Like anything, whether that would be the reason why you started shipping them, au's, scenarios that are running in your head 24/7 ect.

I was hoping for this day to come…

Alright so, it all started when I saw this happen in the confessional cutscene, when you tell O’saa you have a crush on someone from the train. First person he mentions is Abella :

Like, this is undoubtedly meant to be Abella, no doubt. So certainely he must at least perceive her as attractive for him to think of her literally above anyone else. (He does mention Karin instead of you play as Abella but like. Most likely cause it’s just that, you already are Abella so he would not ask you if you are into Abella lol.)

THEN FUNNILY ENOUGH the way I started to ship O’saa and Abella together was by wondering if they were any fics with…Ah, Abella tending to O’saa, if you catch my drift. Take care of him. In bed. Dominating him, gonna say things as they are. (There weren’t any at the time.)

So it lead me to think of them more and actually realize that their dynamic would be entertaining to see and how they would actually make a cute couple. I started to look for more things between them in game, and besides the Party Talks that are pretty fucking funny, I had figured out something.

In the Tunnel 1, exactly where you can recruit O’saa, the only way to get him in your party is having him ask you if you know anything of the tunnels you are in, you HAVE to reply to him in the affirmative.

(Source is on wiki gg, but feel free to go check that out of yourself, you will see that he won’t suggest to join you if you tell him you don’t understand what is happening in the tunnels.)

So, guess who amongst literally everyone in the Contestants that is well versed in machines and more importantly, tunnels ?

That’s right, Abella. The Mechanic.

What I am suggesting right here is that it’s highly likely that «canonically» (as in the intended storyline that happens during Termina), Abella is the person finding O’saa and helping him out. Not only because she knows how the tunnels works, but also she is most definitely one of the few characters that would be willing to take in a wounded person with her and help them get back to their feet in the cast.

Now there isn’t even this evidence we have in canon, but there is also the fact that their personalities are opposites, and even more than that, some of their themes too, all the while having actually quite important points in common. Let me explain.

Abella has grown up a caregiver, having helped her parents take care of her younger siblings since she is a child. She has an actually quite peppy personality beyond that frown on her portrait, she enjoys romance books and literature. She expresses sadness or disgust at death, if not straight up distress when she sees people actively suffering (the people hanging at the ceiling yelling at the shopping district of Prehevil). Abella suffers for others, as she Moonscorches literally while she is trying to find pieces for the train, doing a thing she always did : helping other people.

O’saa has grown up most of his life away from his family, and since really young has adopted a «fend for yourself and only yourself» kind of mentality. He does not care for the homeless, if not immediately mocking them, he is completely unphased at violence and the suffering of others, he even threatens to hurt YOU if you come too close to him for his liking. O’saa suffers for himself, as we can see his Moonscorch reveals his struggle with wishing for his autonomy and escaping the control of higher powers.

That being said, the points in common they have is that they are both very very dependant and self reliant, both very much the kind of character to take matters into their own hands and get their own hands dirty to get what they want. And if they want something, they WILL get it by all means necessary (see Abella’s Ending B of her learning astrophysics and building a whole ass spaceship to get in contact with the Moon, while O’saa’s Ending B is him BECOMING the higher power, aka a cult leader, to not be controlled anymore and instead BE the one in control, which in my opinion is tragic in its own right but I won’t elaborate on O’saa on his own here.)

All that being said, as a couple I would imagine that most of it would happen outside of Prehevil, in a canon divergent ending of Termina.

Abella, knowing O’saa is erudite about magic and the surnatural, would ask to stay in contact with him because she feels the need to know more about what happened during the festival. O’saa would accept, happy to have an occasion to have his ego being stroked while he teaches someone else about what he knows.

The pair would travel the world to learn new things, spend a lot of time together, and Abella would even teach O’saa a thing or two about mechanics as a trade off for him teaching her about the occult.

Eventually both would have feelings about eachother…On Abella’s side it feels natural for it to happen, as they do spend a lot of time with eachother and enjoy eachother’s companies and hobbies. On O’saa’s side though…needless to say he is having an existential crisis because he did not even know having simple, romantic feelings for someone was even possible for him. I think sexual feelings he views as not shameful, because it’s what his body would need and not his feelings, but there he is having a proof that he’s not as dead inside as he tried to be for years.

Abella is aware of this, as O’saa grows visibly more hesitant and dare I even say coy with showing affection to her that goes a bit too uncomfortably close to the line between simple friendship and romantic attentions. She decides to let him figure it out by himself, but that does not mean she doesn’t enjoy seeing him very subtly avoid her gaze when their eyes meet.

I also have. A whole thing with me and associating them with Gro-Goroth and Sylvian imagery. This bit is not a theory or trying to prove anything being canon, but it’s more about symbolism and narratives that I like to associate with them cause I do like some religious imagery. I can most definitely get into detail about it, but the post is already too long as it is by itself LOL

Hopefully this will feed your curiosity.

Just beat Majora's Mask for the first time.

Wow. What a great game.

I will say, the final fight didn't feel very difficult to me, but maybe that's solely because I had the Fierce Deity mask and four fairies.

Yesterday I came across some YouTube comments saying that Termina wasn't real or something because the mask created it. And frankly, I disagree. (Maybe it's just because I just finished the game but still.) Because you can't tell me that Time will never be able to return to Termina. I think he deserves the ability to at least maybe see all those people again.

Though, that whole adventure was probably super traumatizing, so maybe he wouldn't return.

SOULs of The Performers (season39 & two from season40)

(of a popular circus called “Space Mine”, or in short 'Spmn').

Solei- a very popular, well known and well liked performer. Solei is an androgynous being- appearing somewhat feminine yet having a soft and masculine voice. They seem to only be a 'trainer' rather than an actual performer. They have the Caressing Soul. (something is up with them)

Aurien- well known, and mainly popular around those who are also fans of Solei; they don't seem to make a difference between Solei and Aurien. She has the Dominating Soul. Or, maybe, just maybe, a Radiating Soul. (she knows something is going on with Solei)

Vii- with how calm, and quite similar to Castor in some ways, Vii seems to have a Shadowed Soul. But who knows, Vii might have an Enlightenment Soul. / Saachi- with how similar she is to Flor and due to their trio name being "Christmas girls" maybe she has the same Endless Soul as Flor does. But she seems more.. softer. Maybe she doesn't have the Endless Soul. But who knows for sure / Ji Woo- Someone who's carefree and 'homely' yet, Ji Woo has the Solitary Soul. He seems to be sweep under the rug, in some cases. / Ryu- he's similar to Ragnvaldr, in how he acts (I would think). Giving him the Tormented Soul. Or maybe he has the same soul trait as Aegaeon does; a Tainted Soul.

Azure- well known but not really well respected. Azure is quite numb and chillingly cold, and is a performer. A Blank Soul. But it's also been said that he possibly might've had an Enlightenment Soul, only turning Blank after reaching a dead end. (He's quite similar to Daan in that way).

Jae- He's an ordinary young man. Nothing too appealing, but appealing enough for him to be in a circus with others around. But he and Flor share the same soul trait. An Endless Soul. / Evon- Is one of those who are more appealing then Jae is. Appearance wise, with the white strand of hair, which makes her stand out. But for her soul, it's the Enlightenment Soul.

Rose- With their unique and one-of-a-kind appearance and especially their talent, they might as well have their own soul type named after themselves! But, not now. They have the Endless Soul.

Khoi- Enlightenment Soul. His fast-learing ability has him learning a lot in some short amounts of time, which has him wanting more. / Sai- His quiet behavior yet the way his attaches himself to others seem to point that he has a Solitary Soul. / Vera- lightly similar to Sai, but I suppose that's only based on their looks and how quiet they are. Their difference is of course their soul, to which Vera has the Endless Soul (I like to think that she'll be similar to Karin from Termina). / Ellie- and her somewhat princess-like air to herself, she might seem like she would have a Dominating Soul. But far from that, she actually has a Latent Soul.

Toon- Tainted Soul, with how her and Lang have some fights (hindsight, quite petty but it's funny) and it somewhat led to her having a bowl cut. / Monica- She, Solei and Dian have the same views (I would think), so their soul trait is the same. Caressing Soul. / Isla- She seems to be quite similar to Aurien in some ways but also to Ava. But she doesn't seem like one for power, so it leaves her with a Radiating Soul.

Lang- Enlightenment Soul. She's known for picking things apart, and of her questions that she asks Moran.

Minori- Minori, she's confusing to say the least. The month and day she was born has people with more courage and such, but she's quiet and skittish. Not much of a talker or a booster, but she's somewhat similar-ish to Tanaka (from Termina), giving her the Latent Soul.

Stasya- Solitary Soul. Someone who's found a home inside of this circus (quite the irony), or maybe perhaps Stasya has the Suffocated Soul?

Tallis- Solitary Soul, similar to both Stasya and Vermillion. / Castor- The Shadowed Soul. But it has been debated that he may have a Tormented Soul as well, but that's been said by those who seem to know of Castor's past. / Himei- Caressing Soul! She and Noora get along well due to their shared soul trait. / Kyo- Just like Aegaeon and Ryu, having him with the Tormented Soul.

Tov- Enlightenment Soul. She and Moran are quite similar in how they are due to their soul.

Noora- Her friendliness and childishness has her with the ones who have the Caressing Soul. / Lark- Enlightenment Soul, with how he seems to appear as a librarian in a place full of singers.

Onyx- Cold like Azure is, but not all that similar since Onyx has 'life' in himself. He has the Enlightenment Soul due to how similar he and Azure are. / Dian- He's quite similar to both Monica and Solei, in of their shared traits and views (in some way), so he also possesses the Caressing Soul.

Cirrus- Quite a mystery they are. Resembling the cloudy sky, and their eyes being closed almost always. Giving this air of being choked out of breath. Similar to Azure, yet also similar to others who are more lively. Suffocated Soul, seems to explain them quite well.

Aegaeon- Her fightin' energy and quite mean look has her being compared to Marcoh. Having her with the Tainted Soul. But she means well, just like Marcoh.

Moran- Enlightenment Soul, again. She and Lang have talks about philosophy or anything of their interest that is besides their acts in the circus.

Flor- well known for her out going and generally jester- like persona and personality. It's been stated that she has once wanted to do something else rather than performing but she likes her job now. She has the Endless Soul.

Akane- Similar to others who have a Solitary Soul, to which she also has.

Vermillion- A Solitary Soul. I don't think I should explain it too much, since without his girlfriend- and the way he's not that well known in the circus. It's self-explanatory, on why he's alone.

Daiki- A Dominating Soul? She'll be quite similar to D'arce and how she is devoted to Le'gard yet has a dominating soul (but it's Tina for Daiki, and not Le'gard).

Ava- a beauty with nothing much underneath but she seems to be quite similar to others yet for Flor Ava reminds her of Solei, which might have her with the Caressing Soul that Solei has.

Innamorati- Quite feminine in some ways? But always quick to make sure others don't call him of any name like so since he doesn't want to be seen as a woman. He has the Changeling Soul. (Quite similar to Marina, but the opposite)

Toki- He's known as a wolf in sheep's clothing. Most likely having a Decrepit Soul.

(Possibly many more!! But by a screenshot this is all imma do).

*most SOULs have been repeated since there are only 15 known SOULs / I don't really know how SOULs work in Funger, and such. So- uhm. Yeah some of these are probably weird & wrong to the ones who know more of Funger than I do ( @dannybobany !!! ALNST OCs in funger!!)

**again, most SOULs aren't really that correct. I've tried, with the information I've been given of Fear and Hunger and the information I've been keeping in my head of the OCs in Season39. These aren't fully their SOULs, since I am not their creator (minus Flor, she is gonna stay with the Endless Soul). Basically; I was winging most of these SOULs

***There are only 15 known SOULs in Fear and Hunger, there is a chart of more SOULs but we don't have people with those souls just yet:

(so most of the SOULs in this post might be wrong as a whole, but I'm going off of what we do know as of now. So if these don't fit the characters, I'm sorry — I'm honestly doing all of this BY personality, and not really by their Zodiac Sign. But their Zodiac is mixed in, so)
