Zelda S/Is? I wish to hear :>

I ship with a handful of Zelda characters, and have some feelings toward certain Links that I have a hard time pinpointing. Ganondorf has a tag here, but there's also Ghirahim, Zant, Vaati, and the Happy Mask Salesman. I also really identify with like several of the races. So! I came up with a way to satisfy all these!

Fae was original Ymir, a rogue and formless entity of pure chaos. A similar thing to the Majora's Mask manga's depiction of Majora's creation. Ymir would eventually but heads with more powerful deities, and find faerself against their priests. Unlike Majora, there was no way to contain Ymir in something as (potentially) solid and mundane as a mask. Ymir was cursed to roam the world a similar way the hero of time does, being reborn, but never being born the same way more than twice in a row. A forever changing creature still, amnesiac to faers true potential.

Ymir's first rebirth was as Fufunmi, a Minish. Fae was involved with Vaati before he went bad, and when Vaati returned to the Minnish people, re-entered a relationship with him. A rather uneventful life, that one. The cursed magic that made faer docile and mortal was its strongest, since it had no yet had the time to be worn down.

IDK how long Minish are supposed to live, but um... I like the idea they live a pretty long time. Fufunmi died some time during Four Swords, likely just before any of the actual game's events happened.

Ymir's second incarnation was as OOT generally began. As in, the history pre-game. Fae was born as Zanzo, a kokiri. It's said that Kokiri who leave die, but we've never actually seen it on screen. My personal interpretation is that they don't just like drop dead, they simply lose their semi-immortal status. So they grow up and die as other races would.

Zanzo left the forest a few years after Link was first dropped off, still a ways before he would begin his adventure. I don't have this all 100% fleshed out, but the idea is that fae knew a little more about faerself. A sense that something is distinctly wrong--as though fae had lived before, and that fae was not meant to be a forest child. Ganondorf was the one who found faer in this time, and took faer under his wing. Wanting to avoid any hiccups in the potential that fae COULD drop dead, he magic-ed faer up a special set of jewelry that basically kept a little of the Lost Wood and Kokiri Forest's magic! So Zanzo never grew up fully, but did grow up some.

OOT happened, and Zanzo got a Termina counterpart. True to the "cannot live same way twice," fae was born again as a Twili trapped in Termina. Velzin! This was partially planned, as Zanzo had taken to following The Happy Mask Salesman. Mostly because he had Majora's Mask, and Zanzo felt a strange sort of kinship with it. Obviously though, Skull Kid stole it, and was killed by Majora in the rampage (hence being split-second born in Termina as Velzin.)

All things considered, that's also uneventful. Link helps faer, gets a mask, and fae leaves with the salesman at the end. Velzin and the salesman had a certain "let me help you," "I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP," dynamic, culminating in when the salesman convinced faer to allow Link to assist. So it's not a super eventful life, compared to working as a Kokiri warrior legend alongside Ganondorf.

The only reason Ymir was still a Twili by the time of Twilight Princess was because Velzin hadn't died. In my ideal world, Velzin would have played into the plot with Ganondorf in some fun re-incarnated lovers stuff. Velzin is a much more moral person by then than Zanzo was, so there could be some real angst in Ganondorf recognizing his former partner in faer.

There are also alternate versions of Ymir. Ymir also exists throughout the Ganondorf is Sealed timeline. That's not super fleshed out at all though.

I've played with the idea of a BotW version of Ymir that is a members of the Yiga clan, or a Sheikah version of Ymir being present in later parts of Twilight Princess. The magic constraining faer to mortalality is wearing out over the ages--faers births are quickly becoming less natural, and more instantaneous.

Of course I've also debated that Ymir (while still a being of pure chaos,) created the Tetraforce. The idea is that Ymir saw the goddess' triforce, and noticed the missing piece. Never one to let anything rest in peace, Ymir filled that empty space with its own "gift," to embody mischief and other impish qualities. Power is the ability to do it, Wisdom is knowing when, and Courage is the strength to follow through. The "tetraforce"'s meer existence is an affront to this format, fitting of being created by a being of chaos.

If I do keep this as lore, then my thing is that Ymir didn't have the time to bestow it upon any mortal, so all of Ymir's incarnation's carry the tetraforce.

If anyone (or you! Specifically!) has specific questions feel free to ask! Ymir and faers many incarnations aren't 100% done by any means.

Would I be able to get a moodboard for a magical girl that was created by every magical girl protagonist defeating a villain together that had their powers combine into a new magical girl who has all of the magical girl protagonist's powers? Powerful, but struggling to live up to the morals and ideals of all the magical girls that came before her and would come after, not knowing the best course of action. Very pink and sparkly if possible.

Yes, of course. It's in the queue. Thank you for your request!

Happy Pride Month!

Here's a reminder that you DON'T GET TO POLICE WHAT LABELS PEOPLE SELF-DESCRIBE WITH, even if you're personally uncomfortable with them. You also do not get to demand their reasons for using the other labels.

I'm medically considered intersex, and many others would label me that way. I do not like being labelled that way.

I label myself a futanari. (Before you get stupid in the notes about this, I have Japanese heritage.) Many people, perisex and intersex alike, do not like this label for themselves or are uncomfortable with seeing it. That's fair. You don't get to demand I stop using it for myself. There are reasons for myself where being labelled a futanari is much more comfortable than being labelled as intersex.

I do not owe you the information as to why that is.

It's the same for every other word. Some people who others consider gay do not self-label as gay for a variety of reasons. Some people who others consider lesbian do not self-label as lesbian for a variety of reasons. Some people who others consider trans do not self-label as trans for a variety of reasons. You do not get to demand to know the exact details of why someone uses the labels they do.

You do not get to demand someone changes how they self-label, as that person is the only one who knows their identity properly. If you have a problem with how someone self-labels, shut it and suck it up. If you don't want to use that word yourself when talking about them, ask if they have comfortable alternatives. If the only label they are comfortable with is one you're uncomfortable using, either shut it and suck it up, or don't talk about them at all.

Deal with it.

OP uses She/Her pronouns Only and Feminine terms only (Nothing Neutral). Please respect this and do not use They/Them or words such as "Dude", "Guy", etc. for OP. If planning to call OP intersex instead of futa/futanari, just use "Girl" instead. Only close friends may call OP intersex.

For the artist ask meme: 🐻🎁🙃

- Crystem

🙃 Which is easier: faces facing left, right, or front view?

facing left is a habit of mine so those tend to be easier unless I’m drawing a profile, then either left or right is fair game :-)

🐻 Your go-to things to draw when you need comfort?

when im Fixating it’s usually my favorite character at the time, I also like drawing judai yuki and winged kuriboh bc they bring me comfort

🎁 Do you prefer drawing fandom stuff or your own characters?

Most of the time I prefer drawing fandom stuff, mostly because it’s easier to work with characters that are already known. I love my OCs, but I’ve never been great at developing complex stories for them 😭 it’s easier to discuss fan stuff rather than, say, my lesbian monster receptionists

Hey, I'm Crystal from the Pokémon SPECIAL/Pokémon Adventures Manga. I'm looking for Gold, Silver, Blue Green, Red, Emerald, or any other dexholders. I had a Meganium named Mega, Gold had a Typhlosion named Explotaro, and Silver had a Feraligatr. I know that for my canon Blue was the Kanto girl's name and Green was the Kanto boy's name, just to avoid any mixups - our names matched our eye colors! I'm not necessarily looking for ones who share my canon, just any who share the source! I wasn't dating any of the Johto dexholders, and had a soft crush on Blue and Sapphire that I never followed through with. If people wanna chat about canons they can contact me at Crystem
