#he'd adapt to it

[linktoo-doodles]

Was thinking about how I'd redesign ken's aged up character + just warmup doodles of ken in general.

tooled around with his hair length too, my friend @brambleberryjam likes imagining him letting his hair grow out a bit longer as his own subconscious way of remembering shinjiro

AITA? My (30M) brother (27M) beat my ass because he thought my dad was dead

INFO: Technically he's my brother's dad too, but I don't like him

while I love a good fancast of the characters in the house in the cerulean sea as much as the next guy, I worry about live action adaptations being able to truly capture the warm sense of magic, love, found family, and whimsy of the book.

which is why the only people I would trust with an adaptation of the house in the cerulean sea is studio ghibli

no I will not be taking criticism at this time since I am 100% correct

If your still undecided about what modern au Machete would have as a job, I would like to nominate him as a niche fashion model. Not like a popular celebrity, because he's not conventionally attractive, but he has that aura. He can Walk (in heels!!!)

I want to give him an excuse to wear all different kinds of fancy clothes, basically. He deserves to be dressed to the nines and glare down at an audience from the runway.

i would love to hear how youd want to do a botw manga

YEAAAAAAHHHHH ok ok ok so. i would have the manga follow largely the same structure as the game, beginning with link waking up on the great plateau. he would go through the opening segment almost the same as the game, but with a little more emphasis on the physical toll that the shrine has taken on him (notably i'd frame the old man's baked apple as his realization that he's HUNGRY, that his body feels physically weak and untrained after 100 years of sleep.) i would also place a lot of emphasis on the eeriness of the plateau and the fact that link feels he SHOULD remember these locations but doesn't. the plateau segment would otherwise be very game-compliant, including the shrines, tower, temple of time, and the old man's cabin as spotlighted locations. the key difference here would be that instead of the gameplay mechanic where shrines give link something physical that makes the game easier for the player, they would instead be framed as training exercises which, while lacking material reward, would help him retrain his body and regain the strength he lost in the 100 years he was asleep.

after leaving the plateau the general structure of the game would be loosely followed, (impa > purah > divine beasts & memories > ganon) with a few key pieces of worldbuilding/side quests spotlighted along the way. the first major event after leaving the plateau for link would be his discovery of the dueling peaks stable, the first real indication of human society he's seen since waking up. this would be an important introduction to the society of hyrule post-calamity, and link would also get his first horse here, finding that he's strangely good with horses and perhaps getting a quick flash of a warm feeling, almost like an old friend :)

The memories would still be initially revealed to link via images within the sheikah slate, but unlike gameplay i wouldn't have link specifically seek out memories, instead i would have him stumble upon familiar locations while exploring, which i think is closer to the original intent of that feature. he would find each memory in order and they would play out very similarly if not exactly as they do in canon. the divine beasts and their quests would also play out largely like canon, with the exception of me retconning the transphobia out of the gerudo quest line. I also might like to spend a little more time on the legacies of each champion and how their losses are felt in their respective communities. they all have very strong characterization already and i would love to take the time to expand upon it a bit more!! the same goes for the NEW champions (sidon, teba, yunobo, and riju) i'd like to take some more time to expand upon their characters as well!

the sword-claim is the one thing that i don't fully know how to deal with. i think logically, it either has to come before all of the divine beasts, or after all of them. if i put it in before all of the beasts, it would require some gratuitous shrine training montages to convey how much work it takes link to get to the point where he's able to handle the master sword, which would break up the flow of the story and imo isn't very true to the gameplay which usually just has you explore shrines as you find them during your journey. the only other option, though, is to put it in AFTER the divine beasts, which may lessen the impact it has on the story if the only time he ever ends up using it is to defeat ganon. it sort of makes it into a deus ex machina instead of a pervasive element of the story in the way it is in the game. the way that i think i would deal with this is to have link hear about the master sword's legend from npcs as early as that first stable, and have him stumble into the lost woods BEFORE he has trained enough to be able to handle the sword. he finds it, learns what it is and that it's waiting for him, but he isn't able to claim it in his current state. this gives him a tangible goal to work towards for the rest of the story--a reason to continue entering shrines and growing stronger while he's doing divine beast quests. it also allows the master sword to remain present and active in the narrative without forcing link to get too strong too fast. THEN, when he's finished all the divine beasts, he can have a moment like, "i think i'm strong enough now. i'm prepared" and he can go BACK to the lost woods and successfully pull the sword and then go straight to ganon.

aside from the main quest line there are a few really good side quests i want to include as well, notably the kakariko yiga shrine quest and the hylian homeowner/tarrey town side quests. the former i just think is a very impactful storyline and nicely sets up the yiga as villains later on in the gerudo quest, and the latter is imo thematically important as a physical example of link rebuilding his life and watching hyrule continue to grow and heal despite the wreckage of the calamity. ideally this would be the last thing link does before facing the calamity; the wedding scene would end with link deciding the time has finally come for him to face ganon again, having found hope and community, knowing that no matter what happens hyrule will never be broken beyond repair.

the final battle would go similarly to canon, with callbacks to pieces of training link would have received earlier in the story--perfect parries, aerial archery, shield surfing, and all of the champion abilities would be highlighted during the battle, which would come to a triumphant end with ganon finally defeated and link and zelda reunited.

sooo yeah! largely canon-compliant but with certain aspects adjusted for readability. botw has such a strong narrative that it would actually be super easy to adapt imo but that might just be my opinion because i never think about anything else lol

Fine, I'll admit it. With long hair...

He's very attractive. He really is.

But, he's a harebrained trend chaser, who will butcher his good looks for fickle fashion.

He also looks like he should be wearing a kilt, not a cloak. Because of the long red hair, not David's nationality.

“The year is 7933,” Din said slowly, looking at Bruce.

Bruce stared at him blankly. He didn’t have the mental capacity to work out where Din was going with this, not when it was taking a significant amount of self control not to collapse right there on the pavement.

Din shifted a little. “That would make Tho’buir eleven years old.”

Bruce’s jaw dropped, thoughts of his missing children silenced as he processed that statement. He turned to the boy again, tracing his features for a different reason, now. He could see it. He could see how those small features could grow into his buir’s face. And that meant-

Bruce dragged his gaze from the boy to the Mando’ad still standing in front of him protectively. The armor was wrong, but the accent…the accent lined up.

“Ba'buir?” he croaked.

“I beg your karking pardon?” the man said.

leon whump concept:

leon's chasing down a science nerd who's of course, under suspicion of being involved with bioweapon manufacturers.

he's not going to shoot this person because, well... he needs them alive. not being attacked, they need to face justice and being interrogated, all that.

they're in these tunnels. tunnels hand-dug for this operation. leon's hot on their tail, so whatever tricks they pull aren't working. he catches up whatever they do.

until the tunnels open up. some fancy details here about the smell and look. it's an old mine. this was an old mining town.

chase continues, and leon doesn't think about the switch from dust to wood until the thing collapses. and the suspect falls about a hundred feet and gets impaled on a stalagmite.

leon got lucky. he managed to clumsily ensnare himself on the old line for the lights that ran through here. until it snaps.

he has say... two or so seconds to think. bleed out on the stalagmites, splatter on the cave floor (or disappear into a crevasse he can't see), or... the split second decision has him use whatever leverage he has to swing towards the underground lake.

no time to think about the depth. about what lives inside. about any metal toxicity leached into the water. he doesn't remember the hit anyway.

and when his eyes open again, he sees the light from above in a red haze before the cloud of silt blinds him. all he knows in that moment is agony.

he doesn't remember what happened. he can't quite recall who he is, but he knows danger. danger is what got him here.

the lake is hot. warm. a geothermal hot spring that never made it to the surface. he never wants to leave...

when the dso comes looking for him, they find the cavern. the find the body of their suspect. but no leon. they do, however, see in the distant edge of the lake, shimmering lights.

MYSTERY ASIDE -> leon is able to evade death from the bioweapon bacteria something or other living in the hot spring. without this, he would've drowned with a broken neck (and broken spine and legs and pelvis (pelvis breaks are intense and can absolutely easily lead to death) and skull and-). but this thing heals him. and because it's highly adaptable and leon fell into the lake, he becomes a cave salamander man. or maybe axolotl like. glowy slimey/scaley feral man!

how would YOU kill dick grayson?

i'd put him in a room with his parents, bruce & alfred and the gang, and the titans, and make him choose one. the others he can never see again, not even pictures, and he can't talk about them to the ones he chose over them
