my darling friends have asked me to post some rambly discord analysis of vio. and i love them . and i love you.

i feel that the way that vio treats himself throughout the manga is very much as like . a tool. a very good tool ! the only tool that can get the job done even ! but still a tool rather than like . a fully realized individual . it is soooooooooo good to see the way he comes out of his shell after shadow fails to execute him. like it truly was a turning point for him .

i think so much abt when shadow found him trying to shatter the dark mirror. perhaps it was Not an active choice on akira himekawa's part but the fact that vio doesnt even try to escape when shadow realizes what he was trying to do. like man they didnt even spare a Single panel to show him being worried or upset abt the horde of hinox's moving to grab him. i imagine it can be inferred but the Lack of showing it makes vio look like he just . totally didnt try. he acted very impulsively and put everything into this plan -> cannot imagine recovering from this . absolutely no trust in the other colors as well. makes it allll the more delicious that they come and rescue him and it is stupid and looneytunes and lovely.

blue and green beefing is natural and healthy . you should be worried if they are Not challenging eachother. blue and vio beefing is expected but should be avoided at all costs

Cia HyWars is pure evil?

There is so much I could say about Cia . and i will ! you’re stuck with me now idiot !!!!! (speaking into an empty room)

i was going to skip this section bc if anybody reading this somehow didn’t know who Cia is then like . google is right there . but zeldadungeon actually has fuck all to say about cia’s backstory and i would never knowingly subject someone to the fandom wikis.

Cia was originally known as the Guardian of Time, a minor deity tasked with overlooking the checks and balances of the triforce across the past and future. She did this work alone, and her psyche was left vulnerable to a fragment of ganondorf’s soul. Her admiration and jealousy of the holder’s of the triforce was manipulated until she became physically fragmented, her “light half” being cast from her as she was fully corrupted.

That half goes on to become Lana, and what remains of Cia wants two things: Collect Link like barbie doll, and help Ganondorf restore his soul and gather the triforce so she can Collect Link like barbie doll. She’s the main antagonist of the game now.

why would she do this? is she stupid?

being lonely makes you crazy and i mean this very genuinely.

Hyrule Warriors is constantly hammering in that you need to rely on other people through gameplay And story beats. i would even say that friendship and teamwork is one of the strongest and most recognizable themes. In the very first stage there is an honestly comical back and forth that goes as follows: link runs in to fight volga. impa runs in to save link. link hops up last second and saves impa instead . and then they round out the stage with impa saving link and delivering the hero’s tunic to him. this has to be a joke? but it isn’t . they LOVE TEAMWORK !! not to mention the gameplay that forces you to run around and help your allies, or the massive story beat that revolves around Link running ahead to fight on his own, which i could dissect in its own post.

unrelated but related, in the first edition of this game Cia dies. she asks lana to make her pain make sense, reveals that she knew on some level she was doomed to fail, and admits that lana really is better than her. it’s a bitter ending with very little fanfare, as ganondorf swoops in quickly to kickstart the beginning of the end.

But in later versions, there’s additional content. Cia is found to be alive, struggling against Phantom Ganon’s forces with the last of her power. She becomes an ally and she gets to live at the end, finding a happy ending in resuming her duties now as one of two Guardians of Time with Lana.

Would it be such a stretch to assume that the root of her pain was her solitude? Her admiration of Link as the revered hero, her jealousy of Zelda as the damsel who is destined to always fight by his side, and her happy ending. she easily walks away from Link, Zelda, and the allure of the triforce because now she finally has company, and knows she is leaving them all as friends. Wouldn’t it make sense thematically that in the game about friendship, the main antagonist would be driven in part by a lack of it?

this doesn’t justify starting a war

yeag . the devs for the Dynasty Warriors hack and slash series should have made it Not a war (JOKE. PARODY. but see the first sentence or the previous section)

but what about the part where she is an irredeemable creep?

look me in the eyes . i cannot describe how much this train of thought kills me. i am trying not to point at anybody specific here but it actually scares me a little bit how common and Assumed To Be True this is considering the preexisting racism and misogyny surrounding Cia’s design and role within the game

Cia is creepy towards Link. it’s not normal to disregard a person’s autonomy because you want to “make him yours”, and it’s not normal to have just So Many pictures and statues of a guy. but i have to draw the line there because Genuinely that is where it ends.

Pet names? if you play her side campaign you find that she calls Literally everyone things like “lovelies” and “darling.” Her speech mannerisms are classically cartoonish villain and i am absolutely biased because i love this

Age difference? an important thing to note is that cia’s design is one of the things the most afflicted by the aforementioned racism and misogyny. considering she has no canonical age afaik it freaks me out that people treat her like a Textual Predator with the Everything in mind.

if she’s redeemable then they did a shit job at it.

no argument there . i think everyone forever should make something new up to make up for the fact that they did a Poor Redemption . at least have her say sorry or something idunno .

in my opinion they had a lot going on when cia joined the allies, so i like to imagine she ended up getting a proper redemption arc After phantom ganon is put to bed. it lives in my head and it’s just as convoluted and weird as the rest of the game 👍

Hyrule Warriors is just an extremely elaborate excuse to play dolls

and i LOVE my tuoys. come play with meeeee come have fun with me and ciaaaaaa

[waroferas]

i get it now i think i am supremely charmed

[waroferas]

Whats ur opinion on Lana? Usually when i see people mention Cia it's them saying she's a creep for the photo room wall(which. I cant defend... love u tho cia..) or her "crush" on Link/The Hero's Spirit but Lana is the "good half" of the Time Sorceress, making her the "good half" of Cia whichh i never see ppl talk abt. But i think Lana also had a "crush" on link/hero spirit... sorry for the not-sensible ramble im eepy🤕

AUUUGH i have wanted to collect my thoughts on Lana for a Good While.

I have a some personal interpretations abt what it actually means for Lana to be Cia’s “good half”, that rely mostly on what i personally find more interesting than black and white “good and evil” arguments LOL.

(imo i see lana as less of her “good side” and moreso cia’s concentrated rationale, compassion, and contentedness. cia spirals because she cant/Wont access these things and be Truly happy anymore. allegory for mental illness i won’t lie to you)

But in terms of her crush on Link then u should know that it is absolutely there !!

Lana all but admits it during Cia’s death ⬇️

not to mention the Many instances throughout the game of her doing the Worst Job of acting like she doesn’t have a crush.

The thing about it is that having a crush doesn’t inherently make you a creep, it just leaves you prone to acting kindof cringe (said lovingly). Lana makes me cringe a bit, and i think everybody forever should lean into this. she’s a loser and it can be endearing and funny as long as you understand that for every moment that lana is a loyal, smart, determined person, she’s also a bad liar (on several fronts) with a frankly embarrassing attachment

a final note is that it’s obvious both lana and cia have a deep emotional attachment to link. I like to think that in the future what would be considered a fruitless crush would blossom into a long standing sense of (platonic) love and care for a dear friend 🫶

[waroferas]

i know i am such a hypocrite when it comes to this but it does make me sad that people don’t play around with other More Established connections throughout hyrule warriors .

captain link & toon link & young link is a really good trio but does nobody care abt captain link and tetra who have a story beat dedicated to them working together . or midna and linkle who Also Have That . plus the countless others that you could Infer like tetra and spirit tracks zelda (THATS HER GRANDMA. THATS AWESOME). maybe i’m just not looking in the right places but can SOMEBODY play toys with me or smth
