These were meant to be warmups. ANYWHO!

Went to a random palette site and picked ones that were reminiscent of Wally's colors but still very different that I liked and grabbed some outfits to do a sort of challenge for myself. Idk, thought it would help me out of my funk.

Suffice to say, I'm feeling a bit better now~ These were really fun to do!!!

The character design for the new kid of "The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish" is so unintentionally hilarious. Hazel looks like a very sweet kid, and retired Cosmo and Wanda was a nice surprise, but holy shit out of all the fandoms they could accidentally reference, im wheezing

EXPLANATIONS

This whole thing was kind of fueled by spite. Why does Ocarina get to be the only one that splits like that.

I would get it if it was the child/adult split only. Still be a little salty because none of the other time travel games got that treatment, but it would make sense.

"The hero is defeated" WHY is this ONLY in OoT's timeline? Link can die in ANY game.

So all the splits are based off of unique endings/game overs you can get + timeline inconsistencies that should have branched.

Starting with Skyward Sword.

Why is this split like this? It's horrendous.

Yes! It is! Because the writers made timetravel inconsistent!

I have a whole post breaking it down that I made forever ago, but to put it easy, plain terms:

Zelda was dragged down to the surface by Ghirahim.

Link was destined to defeat Demise.

Link did it. Zelda was freed, because Demise was no more. Ghirahim was a sore loser and went to the past to revive Demise there.

Link killed him there, too. Then went home.

LOGICALLY, as soon as Demise was killed the second time:

Zelda should never have been dragged down to the surface because there was no Demise to defeat.

Zelda in the past should have been freed because Demise was no more again.

"Home" should have been fundamentally changed because there was no Demise. Do you get it. Everything hinges on Demise escaping, so if he's not there, the plot of Skyward should never have happened.

The points of breaking off, elaborated upon:

Demise killed in the past should have led to a future without the events of Skyward Sword taking place.

Hyrule Warriors woke up Fi early and flooded Skyloft with soldiers. That should have drastically changed the peaceful island, even if everything else remained the same.

When Zelda's dragged down to the surface, Impa is shocked. It was before the time she was supposed to. Impa should not be shocked, she should have known this happened as Zelda's bodyguard. The fact that she IS shocked implies she's from a past where that didn't happen and things went to plan. Different timeline where Ghirahim didn't screw things up.

The Imprisoned escapes and destroys the world. This is a unique Game Over. If we're counting OoT Link failing, we're counting this.

Pheoni vs Karane: TECHNICALLY speaking this affects nothing. And you COULD split hairs and make a timeline for every side quest Link doesn't do. But with this one, specifically, one locks you out of the other. You can't get Cawlin haunted and get him rejected. So there are parallel timelines in which Cawlin is haunted or not. You're welcome.

The Tree of Life you need in order to revive Lanayru has to be grown in the past. If you talk to Groose before you plant it, he talks about wanting to plant something there. If you talk to him AFTER you plant it in the past, he acts as if it's always been there. Congrats, Link, you split the timeline again.

A Demiseless, peaceful world exists out there, somewhere. Link crushed the Imprisoned with the Goddess Statue, so Demise should be dead. He didn't even utter his curse that trapped Link and Zelda in the cycle of hatred, he was just squooshed. Link, Zel, and Groose vanished from that timeline, though, thanks to Ghirahim.

The "real" timeline, which acts as if Demise was squished, but also Ghirahim is gone, but also Zelda went back in time and gave Impa the bracelet, etc. This is the "course corrected" timeline, and I think the Master Sword is responsible. See post for details.

This is pretty self-explanatory. Two out of three of the Goddess sisters can get houses, so there are technically three timelines, one in which a sister is doomed to hotel life forever. Then there's the unique game over clause; Vaati can complete his ritual before you get to him.

Four Swords is normal.

Ocarina of Time has that split that it normally has, "Link Fails" vs "Child" vs "Adult."

Queen Ambi's whole mess involves altering the past. Then with each Oracles game, you can pick a different companion.

Hyrule Warriors pulled more cast from this timeline.

Link's Awakening has two different endings, one where Link drifts alone, and one where Marin is a seagull. I'm counting them both as parallels. Then in Zelda II, the consequence of a game over SPECIFICALLY is the return of Ganon, because his monsters sacrifice Link's blood to revive him.

A small mess, largely because Cadence of Hyrule's multiple gamemodes. Do you wake Link or Zelda? Did Octavo do things right or think better of it? Did Ganon rise? Did Skull Kid get involved?

Majora's Mask is a bit more straightforward. Killing Majora as a child is different from doing it as the Fierce Deity, and then there's the whole moon falling thing. Then Twilight Princess gives you a game over WITHOUT Link dying if the carriage is left on fire too long.

This one's pretty normal. Hyrule Warriors strikes again to increase its cast, there's a unique game over for if Gongoron dies in Phantom Hourglass, then with Spirit Tracks, when Zelda asks you what you want to do after everything's all over, your answer influences what Link's ACTUALLY doing in the ending.

Hyrule Warriors' timeline catastrophe.

And finally, the end of the timeline. It splits based on whether or not Terrako existed. Then, with BotW, you can get a different ending based on if you have all the memories, in which you and Zelda go to Zora's Domain to check on Vah Ruta.

Ignore the working title for Tears of the Kingdom, we had no idea what it was then.

Hey do you guys wanna see the monster of a Zelda timeline I made pre-TotK based off Hyrule Historia

I've been binging Batman Beyond recently (Terry ily so much) and thought about how- bc of the JLU twist which I think isn't even canon to the comics BB verse but shhh bare with me- he'd technically be Damian's half brother??? Which is just so ridiculously soap opera to me. I need them to interact in a silly time travel adventure so bad you don't even understand (ID in alt)

I've been thinking a lot about Leonarda's not-death ever since it happened back in April.

("What death?" you might ask, to which I say: "EXACTLY!")

Back in mid-April, Vegetta and Leonarda were mining together in a one-block wide tunnel. A mob (a Petriman) got between the two of them, and Vegetta told Leonarda to step back while he took care of it. At this point, they'd spent enough time together that he trusted Leo to listen to him.

Instead, she was killed by the same sweeping edge bug that killed her siblings.

-

Vegetta's reaction here is what's really interesting to me. Unlike most other parents on the Island, there are no shouts or tears – only a very brief "Hmm" and then silence. He very quietly takes stock of the situation, saying "Vegetta, no" and wondering aloud why Leo didn't defend herself. In chat, Foolish says "It was a bug, right? LAG" to which Vegetta slowly responds "Yes, lag. Bug." (Despite this, Foolish still asks "WHAT HAPPENED" in chat, though Vegetta doesn't reply).

Instead, he creates a slightly wider space in the tunnel where Leo's body is. He continues quietly taking stock of the situation, wondering why Leo didn't defend herself (which is what necessitated his intervention). She'd been lagging a lot that day, and he figures that must be the cause, and eventually when Leo re-appears out of thin air in the middle of the cave and collects her stuff, she confirms that the lag got to her and that's why she didn't fight the mob.

Now here's where things get interesting:

Vegetta checks the tab list. Online, it's just him, Leonarda, Roier, and Foolish. He quietly tells Leonarda "The body has already disappeared, and without a body, there is no crime. Nothing is happening. Did you die?" Leo shakes her head, and Vegetta shakes his head too, and in the kind voice he uses sometimes with Leo, he says: "I believe you have not died. Where is the body? It isn't anywhere, no mija. If it was a mistake, it was a mistake."

Leo says: "I saw Diosito (God) pa, and I was scared. God, what am I doing here?" and Vegetta laughs, telling her it's alright. Leo says "No pasa nada (don't worry / nothing happened)" and Vegetta says: "And the people who are watching us have not seen it either." To Foolish and Roier, he messages: "Secreto."

And the funniest thing about this is it worked.

Not a single person spoke about it. I saw this entire event go down live and I didn't see a WHISPER of what transpired among fans. I can't even remember if the QSMP official accounts talked about it (they sure didn't mention it in Vegetta's recap of the day). We could discuss this in meta terms of course– Leo was having known lag issues that day, Vegetta's beloved by the admins so of course they're willing to turn a blind eye rather than slap a "?" over Leonarda's life on the Eggstatistics, but meta talk isn't what I'm interested in here.

I'm interested in q!Vegetta, the weird "god-adjacent" aura he's got, and the way the universe bends to his will.

Before he took a break from the server, Rubius seemed to be a caretaker for the Eggs who died (for example, he was present when Maxo, Quackity, and Mariana & Slime said their final goodbyes to Trumpet, Tilin, and JuanaFlippa). Because of his role as an "angel" and some of his dialogue during the early days of the server, it's not a stretch to say he probably came to collect any Egg who lost a life. I can imagine he did the same when he saw Leonarda die – that is, until Vegetta said "And the people who are watching us have not seen it either." Realistically, we know Vegetta was saying this to Chat (and possibly the admins as well), but again, we're looking at this from an "in-universe" perspective.

I wonder if Vegetta was aware of Rubius' role, and this was his way of telling Rubius "No. I won't allow that to happen." We know Rubius has a soft-spot for Vegetta (and we also know that Rubius was cast out of heaven several months later) so it makes me wonder if these two instances are connected.

Either way, this isn't the first time the laws of the QSMP universe have bent for Vegetta, and I certainly don't think it'll be the last.

Rubius or no, Leo didn't die that day.

Vegetta made sure of it.
