@hero-of-skies asked ;; Uh-oh, Link's got some love to share with Leon! "Honestly, I don't think I'd have been able to be a hero if it weren't for you. I could try to go on and on singing your praise, but I think what you really need to hear most from me is; thank you, Leon." The blonde smiles brightly and opens his arms in a wordless offer of physical gratitude. "You deserve a thousand praises that they get tangled on my tongue and I can say no further than I've said, with all my soul and heart."
There's a shocked look from Leon. It might from the outside seem like it was a sincere and thoughtful thank you. But to Leon the weight these words carried especially from the one he was receiving them from was heavy. They were words that the courage triforce was greatful to hear and would hold them incredible close to his heart, but they were ones that he also felt he didn't deserve especially from the other.
He could feel the stinging threat of tears in his eyes as the other spoke, but when the outstretched arms to him, well he found himself hesitating but a few moments and he felt his arms move around Link in a hug, it was tight but somehow it was soft, would be easy to get out of if Link wished to do so.
It was this hug that caused him to silently let his tears fall, but the movements in his body and voice would probably give it away. He knew this young man's future and he felt guilty for it, even if it was the goddesses work - his mother and his brother's mothers work.
" I am so sorry...Link I never...No the Hero is all you. I was drawn to you, told to look after you and help guide you to be the Hero you always were inside. I can't I..." He paused and pulled back a bit looking down at the other just a little, the best smile he could pull.
"Link, thank you. I promise you I will always be with you, even if you can't see or hear me. I will ALWAYS be there for you."

❝ i always believed you would come…because i know you. ❞
It's a little jarring seeing another Link, but he keeps calm. "How do you know me?" he asks, looking the man over.

In my Zeus bag today so I'm just gonna put it out there that exactly none of the great Ancient Greek warrior-heroes stayed loyal and faithful and completely monogamous and yet none of them have their greatness questioned nor do we question why they had the cultural prominence that they did and still do.
Jason, the brilliant leader of the Argo, got cold feet when it came to Medea - already put off by some of her magic and then exiled from his birthland because of her political ploys, he took Creusa to bed and fully intended on marrying her despite not properly dissolving things with Medea.
Theseus was a fierce warrior and an incredibly talented king but he had a horrible temper and was almost fatally weak to women. This is the man who got imprisoned in the Underworld for trying to get a friend laid, the man who started the whole Attic War because he couldn't keep his legs closed.
And we cannot at all forget Heracles for whom a not inconsiderable amount of his joy in life was loving people then losing the people around him that he loved. Wives, children, serving boys, mentors, Heracles had a list of lovers - male and female - long enough to rival some gods and even after completing his labours and coming down to the end of his life, he did not have one wife but three.
And y'know what, just because he's a cultural darling, I'll put Achilles up here too because that man was a Theseus type where he was fantastic at the thing he was born to do (that is, fight whereas Theseus' was to rule) but that was not enough to eclipse his horrid temper and his weakness to young pretty things. This is the man that killed two of Apollo's sons because they wouldn't let him hit - Tenes because he refused to let Achilles have his sister and Troilus who refused Achilles so vehemently that he ran into Apollo's temple to avoid him and still couldn't escape.
All four of these men are still celebrated as great heroes and men. All four of these men are given the dignity of nuance, of having their flaws treated as just that, flaws which enrich their character and can be used to discuss the wider cultural point of what truly makes a hero heroic. All four of these men still have their legacies respected.
Why can that same mindset not be applied to Zeus? Zeus, who was a warrior-king raised in seclusion apart from his family. Zeus who must have learned to embrace the violence of thunder for every time he cried as a babe, the Corybantes would bang their shields to hide the sound. Zeus learned to be great because being good would not see the universe's affairs in its order.
The wonderful thing about sympathy is that we never run out of it. There's no rule stopping us from being sympathetic to multiple plights at once, there's no law that necessitate things always exist on the good-evil binary. Yes, Zeus sentenced Prometheus to sufferation in Tartarus for what (to us) seems like a cruel reason. Prometheus only wanted to help humans! But when you think about Prometheus' actions from a king's perspective, the narrative is completely different: Prometheus stole divine knowledge and gifted it to humans after Zeus explicitly told him not to. And this was after Prometheus cheated all the gods out of a huge portion of wealth by having humans keep the best part of a sacrifice's meat while the gods must delight themselves with bones, fat and skin. Yes, Zeus gave Persephone away to Hades without consulting Demeter but what king consults a woman who is not his wife about the arrangement of his daughter's marriage to another king? Yes, Zeus breaks the marriage vows he set with Hera despite his love of her but what is the Master of Fate if not its staunchest slave?
The nuance is there. Even in his most bizarre actions, the nuance and logic and reason is there. The Ancient Greeks weren't a daft people, they worshipped Zeus as their primary god for a reason and they did not associate him with half the vices modern audiences take issue with. Zeus was a father, a visitor, a protector, a fair judge of character, a guide for the lost, the arbiter of revenge for those that had been wronged, a pillar of strength for those who needed it and a shield to protect those who made their home among the biting snakes. His children were reflections of him, extensions of his will who acted both as his mercy and as his retribution, his brothers and sisters deferred to him because he was wise as well as powerful. Zeus didn't become king by accident and it is a damn shame he does not get more respect.
#ginger rambles#ginger chats about greek myths#greek mythology#It's Zeus Apologist day actually#For the record Jason is my personal favourite of these guys#The argonauts are extremely underrated for literally no reason#And Jason's wit and sheer ability to adapt along with his piousness are traits that are so far away from what usually gets highlighted#with the typical Greek warrior-hero that I've just never stopped being captivated by him#Conversely I still do not understand what people see in Achilles#I respect him and his legacy I respect the importance of his tale and his cultural importance I promise I do#However I personally can't stand the guy LMAO#How do you get warned twice TWICE both by your mother and by Athena herself that going after Apollo's children is a bad idea#And still have the audacity to be mad and surprised when Apollo is gunning for Specifically You during the war you're bringing to His City#That You Specifically and Exclusively had a choice in avoiding#ACHILLES COULD'VE JUST SAID NO#I know that's not the point however so many other members of the Greek camp were simply casualties of Fate in every conceivable way man#Achilles looked at every terrible choice he could possibly make said “Well I'm gonna die anyway 🤷🏽” and proceeded to make the choice#so hard that he angered god#That's y'all's man right there#I left out Perseus because truthfully I don't actually know much about him#I haven't studied him even a fraction as much as I've studied some of the other big culture heroes and none of this is cited so i don't wan#to talk about stuff I don't know 100%#Anyway justice for Zeus fr#Gimme something give me literally anything other than the nonsense we usually get for him#This goes for Hera too btw#Both the king and queen of the skies are done TERRIBLY by wider greek myth audiences and it's genuinely disheartening to see#If y'all could make excuses for Achilles to forgive his flaws y'all can do it for them#They have a lot more to sympathise with I'll tell you that#(that is a completely biased statement; you are completely free and encouraged to enjoy whichever figures spark joy)#zeus

Despite him saying he likely sounds crazy, it makes sense to the Gerudo; a Wolfborn could have that feeling when encountering a Doveheart or Boarblood, which could be accurate for them, too. In truth, he begins to focus, and the Triforce pulses in response, proving to him this Link is indeed genuine.
"The pleasure is mine, Link," he replies. "I will not presume you know my name, so allow me to clarify. I am Ganondorf Toba Dragmire. May I ask if you have any specific reason for coming to me?"
Continued from here
The hero offers a nervous smile. Perhaps he shouldn't had opened with such a vague sentence, he realizes.
"Well, actually... it's more like some part of my soul knows your soul, I think?" Link scratches at his cheeks and chuckles. "Sorry, I probably sound a bit crazy to you when I haven't even introduced myself! My name is Link Hilan, it's a pleasure to meet you, your majesty."

I love how sky holds any fuzzy small creatures at arms distance
Does not hesitate to pick up the cute little guys but will keep the gremlins a safe distance away
He would not hesitate to throw legend's silly little face off a cliff
(Also at malon's house he's wearing his skyloft outfit!)

Prompt 256
Look, Bruce had had no plans to be a cryptid, he swore.
Vigilante? Yes. Dark abomination of the night? No. And he was, he was technically just a dude. A well trained (and maybe feral) human, but still just a human! Apparently not to the rest of Gotham, and he honestly should have nipped those rumors when they first started.
But like, it was also perfect for his secret identity. No one exactly expected an undead shadow-beast to have a secret identity after all. Or an undead shadow beast and some sort of ghost child to have ones, as the small child- which turned to small children- he’d taken in discovered.
Which, look, he had tried to get Dick (and later Barbara, and Jason, and Tim, and Steph, and by the time of Duke and Cass had given up) to stop. He had tried everything he could but no, nothing could stop them. Literally nothing that he had done could stop any of them, so he had trained them instead.
And the children were all little shits. At least by the fact that Nightwing had lead the newly-made Justice League right where he was perching, continuing to chitter and giggle near hysterically as he ducked behind him.
And somehow they were here to try and recruit him. Great.
#Prompts#Cryptid Batfam#Cryptid Batman#Justice league#DCU#DC#The Robins are all lil shits & convince others they’re some sort of creachur#Gotham knows Robin is a fae-ghost child hivemind thing that came from the Bats blood#They know Signal is the bat signal brought to life#They know Nightwing is the first Robin who mutated under clear skies one night after being taken from Gotham#They know Red Hood is what happens when a Robin dies for a second time & they all don’t want to know what happens a third#The JL don’t know shit and just have all the rumors they can find about Gotham’s….erm… heroes?#They run into Nightwing first & Dick is a lil shit who leads them on a merry chase#Before acting like a lil bby cryptid to hide under his parent’s wing-cape#Does Bruce and them have wings or capes? No one knows- it could be Both#Yes they have fake blood that flakes away to dust after a few minutes once dried across their bodies#Yes it glows under ultraviolet light#cryptid batfamily#batfamily#batfam shenanigans

@hero-of-skies asked ;; A moment of weakness... Between Sky Link and your Link! 9.} Your muse is having a vivid nightmare and is shouting out brokenly.
Well today was certainly not what Link had excepted. But then again, since everything that had happened recently, especially with the time travelling antics of the Princess herself, it hadn't surprised him as much when he came across one whom he had only seen in flashes of visions and dreams.
His past, a life long ago and up in the skies above from the little parts he had seen.
Of course he had immediately been a little suspicious but it was quick like a feeling of familiarity that made the Hero stop and make sure to keep the other safe and possibly find him a way back.
The Hero of the wilds had found them somewhere to stay, gave the other his blanket to get some rest for the night as he sat by the fire taking the first watch.
It was only a couple hours into the evening when he heard the stirring and broken soft shouts of the other him. Ones that were really familiar to him, nightmare.
Link would sit careful nearby to him, and he would be there for the other. If he continued then he would lightly nudge the other awake.
"Link...It's okay. I'm here you're safe..." He spoke softly, he meant it. Funny how easy it was to talk to one's self when you didn't speak out loud very often.

Truth is, I should simply accept that Skyward Sword is simply a bad game with worse writing, but I keep wanting to plug its numerous plot holes.
It's funny because a lot of people want to make an evil Hylia based on the whole reincarnation cycle thing, except that's not really her fault at all. Lots of characters reappear, it just seems to be a feature of the universe, not Hylia or even Demise's fault.
What is suspicious is that she only protected her chosen people, is clearly leaving out important information about the fight with Demise (Groose has picked up on one of the more egregious ones), desertified Lanaryu with her mining operations, and except for BotW Zelda and Tetra, her reincarnations are 100% cool with a monarchy.
Oh, also Zelda tries to fucking kill you in the beginning of the game by pushing you off a cliff after you tell her you can't find your bird. She "apologizes" afterwards. Fascinatingly, it's in the same way she "apologizes" for manipulating you into saving her, which makes me think she just has a habit of doing shitty things and then tearfully crying about it. What the fuck. This game is so bad. Thank goodness A Link Between Worlds was so good, or I would have never returned to this series.
Also, kind of odd that Groose almost seems like a backup hero and he only stops being an ass when he's on the surface and no longer around (an awake) Zelda. That's concerning.
Skyward Sword has many sins, but one of the worst is that the only interesting character, Groose, seems to be set up as having a connection with the Gerudo, only to have nothing happen. Why would he leave and start a centuries long conflict? He's a pretty cool guy at the end of the game, so what gives?
Well, here's one version of how it happens.

She watched her childhood friend, now roommate comb through the closet, and she couldn't help but frown at the selection of clothes. What was with the horrific color combination? And the style was just... Who was dressing this boy before he lived on his own? Zelda couldn't remember him ever having this terrible of fashion sense before.
"Nooooo..... I mean it's a Halloween party so you gotta dress up, but this is... Link, please..." She laughed, "It's a college party, you gotta look... hmmm..." Zelda squinted before getting up off the bed and practically pushing him aside to rummage through his closet, "I have got to take you clothes shopping. Have you even gotten new clothes since we graduated high school? I swear, you wore this to prom!" Zelda laughed before digging out a bow tie from the bottom of a box.
@serandipity sent: “ Dunking for apples is a basic part of the Halloween party experience. You gotta do it. “ - from Sky Zelda to Sky Link
"Is it? Sounds more like a festival game than a party game but... Well, I guess you'd know better than me when it comes to parties." Link laughs, combing through his closet.
Pulling out some horrendous combination of clothes and holding it to his body, he turned to the girl, "how about this? Good for a party?"

sky headcanons cause im bored
has chronic pain + fatiuge + asthma.
has curly/wavy hair but didnt realise until he got to the surface because of how dry it is on skyloft.
hates the texture of super silky fabric because he says it feels slimey.
is a trans man (doesn't bind, he has too much to do so without damaging his ribs).
is the largest simp ever for his zelda and will yap about her for hours on end if given the chance.
his sailcloth is big enough to use as a blanket when people fall asleep without a blanket.
was touch-starved for most of sksw because he was too busy trying to find zelda to focus on his own health (and lost an unhealthy aumount of weight due to it)
plus size.
in a polycule with groose and zelda.
he CAN cook but the altitude changes when he's not on skyloft means food often ends up overcooked / burnt
his favorite color is blue because it reminds him of his zelda
makes stuff as gifts, usually carved trinkets
