AroAce Four, my beloved

“You seem like a really nice guy,” She says, “And I happened to notice that you always stick around for my whole shift even though you don’t buy anything other than your coffee. So… do you want to grab something later?” Four sticks around because the cafe lets him sit as long as he wants and he gets unlimited refills of his small black coffee for just three rupees a day. The place is dry and warm and gives him a space to work on applications. It helps that the staff is nice, but Four stays here for hours because he doesn’t have anywhere else to go. He didn’t even realize he tended to come in when this woman was here. But he can’t tell her that. He doesn’t want to embarrass her. So he smiles back, eyes flickering down to check her nametag. Erune. “Yeah, actually. I’d love to.” --- AKA the fic where i put all my aroace dating experiences onto my fav lil guy and Four gets to feel my pain, but also my catharsis.

You may recognize this already. That's because in June I posted this to this tumblr. But it wasn't super good or well edited because I'd whipped it up in a day. So I decided to finally edit and post it to a03, since it surpassed my usual word count for such things. And when better than aromantic awareness week?

did dark have any prison boyfriends?

He did not.

Dark was a pretty big target when he was imprisoned after Ganondorf was put out of commission way back when. He was one of Ganondorf's high-ranking lackeys, but he was unwilling to defend the Dragmires' actions after he was taken into custody and given no support or backup from the family. He'd been picked up by them very young and coerced into his role, and when he failed his purpose he was left to drift on his own.

There were many reasons for fellow inmates to be jealous of Dark or want to hurt him. One doesn't make friends easily in that type of work. He was also going through his own identity crisis at the time, which didn't help matters much. A few months in to his imprisonment, he was put into solitary confinement for his own safety after getting his shit kicked in one too many times.

While he was imprisoned, he did have a regular visitor in Shadow. There's some conjecture that Shadow's background work was what led to Dark's release on parole in the first place.

The other person he regularly had contact with during that time was Ghirahim, for purposes we don't yet know.

HSH Idea: Fanmade calls. Feel free to add your own if you get any ideas.

CURRENT CALLER: WAYNE

“Uhm… Hi?? I called the police earlier today about this, but they referred me to you after they heard me out. Not sure what a pest control company is gonna do about this but… *sighs* Lately, I’ve been hearing this… weird clacking sound coming from the hallway outside my room at night every day for almost a week now, and when I left the light on in the hallway yesterday and I saw a shadow under my door. If you have ANY advice for me at all, please tell me at your earliest convenience. I don’t feel safe knowing that there’s probably someone in my house.”

Consequence call, next day

“Hey, it’s me again. I… I think I know why the police referred me to you and you sent me some weird stuff that was absolutely no help. I opened the door last night when I saw the shadows again and my door smashed into a WALKING PUPPET of all things. I’ve currently got it locked in my bathroom and it’s trying to get out, but it’s… not very good at it. It doesn’t know how locks work. This is… out of my league, to say the least. I’ll get back to you tomorrow if that thing is still moving. Until then, see you later.”

''Liquid Samurai but they have their own campaign'' - UPDATE 4

Almost end of the month with another monthly updated of this project and good news, this is the last updated before the final post with everything done! :D

FIRST IDEA/CONTEXT

UPDATE 1

UPDATE 2

UPDATE 3

First of all, there's only 2 key arts left to have all of them complete! + The rewards of the bosses all are clear, as 3 of them, after you beat them, they will appear in the hub and they will teach you a skill. Another one will unlock you the skin shop and the left one, will unlock an extra area, where there's an optional boss.

As for the skins, Plague, King and Specter knight have an extra skin thanks to the amiibos, and got the idea that this time, instead of getting the skin by the amiibo formula, you unlock it by defeating the final boss or like Donovan's skin, by collecting something.

As for bosses, the whole gang has their animation done, there's only 3 left. (One for the snake enchantress, one for the final boss and another one for the optional boss) + The optional boss, I imagine could be like your ''evil'' counterpart that it's hidden in the extra area for x reasons because that places shows you what you fear the most or something similar.

And for the end, I used Plague of Shadows cover, to make the cover of this campaign.

In summary, the only thing left to do are:

-Finish 2 more key arts

-Clean up the Hub areas

-3 more animations for the 3 bosses left

-2 portraits left.

-Clean up the intro.

And that's all!! I believe that for next month, everything will be done!

As for new npcs, I'm still debating to add or not, since they would be more of like background characters, and I want to add characters from the game itself that aren't only Chester and the hedgehog family.

When planning to add new npcs, I though on 2 characters, one is an oc that I made to test the mods in pocket dungeon, that her lore is ''Luan's younger sister that's also a treasure hunter'', and the other one is a personal oc that's a sea dragon and his use was being the character that it's in charge of the skins, but since there's one boss that already do that, he would be just a background character to fill the hub.

So for now, they're in a limbo hshs, once the hub is done and I put the other characters, I'll see if the will appear the hub or not.

[shmorp-mcdurgen]

something i love about your aus is how (almost) every character has a bad ending/fate for them

alt mark, alt thatcher, alt jonah, and alt cesar are doomed to an eternity of suffering. cesars mom was crucified, sarah got a chunk of concrete slammed into the back of her head, seth is all alone after finally getting close to people he considered his family.

prophet adam lives with crippling anxiety that the parasite will decide to come out and kill everyone he cares about, just like it did to jonah. thatcher's parasite breaks his bones, practically mangling him every time it comes out. evelin lost herself(?), becoming one with her parasite.

im not educated about the lab rats au so ill avoid commenting on it

guest mark is part of a house he hates, nobody listened when he said something was up with it, not even his own best friend. cesar is stuck all alone in the reflection of a mirror. guest jonah cant move at all, completely stuck in a wall. guest adam can move, but he cant ever leave.

spirit cesar literally got erased from existence by his best friend. shadow mark has to live with the guilt of that.

the characters lives get absolutely wrecked in ways that could never happen in reality but you write their reactions so realistically that it feels natural. their pain and grief and trauma are so realistic that its easy to have sympathy for them, even alt mark. alt mark is an absolute asshole but i think anyone would be if given his fate.

you can see how the characters got in the messes they did. its easy to be like "oh, theyre so dumb, i would never get myself in a mess like that" but you write the characters so realistically that it doesnt feel like a silly horror movie.

something that really stuck with me is the part in the alt au prologue fic where mark runs upstairs and quickly realizes he made a mistake just like so many characters in horror movies did. that detail made it feel so much more real.

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THANK YOUUU I LOVE THIS ANALYSIS /GEN

AND YEAH. I want to make it clear that. these characters are. well. human. at least in how they act and react. No one is perfect, with even the most moral and understanding characters having flaws that can lead to bad things happening, or simply being doomed to begin with. Even the villains have motive, and aren't your typical cocky, one note evil bad guys who just want pain on people for no reason.

These characters get bad endings not because of who they are or just for fun. but because in that scenario. A good ending would be. bittersweet at best. And the most likely scenario, taking into consideration the characters and how they act can be. bad.

For example, the alt au has that ending because of the fact that Mark refuses to let go of the past. the bad ending is his fault, and not because he's a one note villain but because he's just. unable to come to terms with what he is and the circumstances of his "death."

The MP Au gets that ending due to Adam's lust for knowledge he shouldn't have, and he is suffering the consequences for it. Not only he drags himself into damnation, but everyone around him as well. All because he was too focused on his own goals to care about those around him.

The HSH au ends up there due to cruel circumstances. Home used Mark and Cesar's poor friendship to its advantage to make them drift apart, feeding off of their negative feelings towards each other. Were either of them in the wrong? no. but neither of them were in the right either.

The only au I can say has a pretty good ending is the lab au, where the patients eventually escape. but. it's not all sunshine and rainbows cause. the damage had already been done. they can't magically reverse the mutations or mental fuckery they've gone under. They're like that for the rest of their lives, but. they're free. Bittersweet, really.

But yeah, the point is. the MAIN goal with these characters is to be. realistic. No one has magic plot armor where no harm can be done to them, no one is the perfect person who can easily be framed as the hero, no one is necessarily absolute pure evil as they have their own motivations and in some cases believe what they're doing is right. They're people. And their actions lead to scenarios that sometimes lead to horrible endings. It all depends really.

*stretches out my hands* headcannons?

Why, of course <3

Just random HM ones, some genderbent, some not, some fankid/oc

Had this idea that both duelists tried to cheat during the duel but they both at 7 somehow(They both laughed because of it while bleeding out)

(in the works but)I kinda wanna make Shadow Pianist(Disneyland) and Shadow Pianist(Disney World) two separate people, because I realized my OC story for Victor's brother, Wolfgang, makes a pretty good Shadow Pianist backstory

Not really a hc but I do sorta ship my fankids sometimes, I ship my OrganHost daughter, Katherine, and my Duelist x Shadow Pianist kid, Cassidy

HC that Ezra, Hattie, and Emily all died in the same month(In that order too)

Maid/Butler oc Clara/Clarence, the religious themes in their art were just a stylistic choice but tbh I might legit give them some Religious Mania, as a treat

My fankid Beverly(Alistair x Henry) is probably the only on of my Alistair fankids that would live to adulthood. She'd still get murdered though

Victor Guest & Lady Blue are married and they play music/sing songs together

on the talk of organist relationships, Victor Geist x Sally Slater for the Ghost Post, but tbh that's just canon

I hc the organist in the SLG comic universe to be named Viktor, I just did that so it's not confusing when I type out their names

Myra hunts rats for sport(And gives them as gifts,)

Alicia actually somewhat was upset about killing her mother a little after doing it, but also she can't really do anything about it soooo

Nicholas Crown is a vampire, idc what the Ghost Gallery says

HC the Ghost Host's mortal name as Elias

Clara/Clarence with a God Complex, just listen-(Not set in stone but hsh)

Myra bullies servants w/ her dad, she's a very fussy child

I gave Nelson joint issues, so he has a reason to use that cane now

Clara/Clarence x Alicia/Alistair, toxic relationship

All of my half-human/half-haunt kids can swap between mortal and ghost form

I've been thinking about Clara/Clarence getting executed for killing Alicia/Alistair so-

If I made anyone responsible for killing any of Alistair's kids, it'd be Clarence

I like making personality differences between the ogs and their genderbends, because my friend pointed out how changing their gender would affect a lot of their experiences and how they handle/react to them so yea

Alicia still freaks out about her period sometimes(I won't let her live past her 30s)

There's just a bunch of HCs so 👍 Feel free to ask questions if any

[lunaekalenda]

Hello I’m back for more of the Greek mythology interaction. Could you do another one for Eren (also I imagine him wearing nothing but a eucalyptus crown on his head as a Greek god) with flower goddess Reader? Thank you! - 🌼

for some reason, half of my draft got deleted and just realized now that i was gonna publish it 🤡 anyway, i did what i could with your specifications + the dices (my imagination isn't that wide hshs) hope you like it!

zeus · trojan horse · treasure (this is going to be a little divergence from the original myths to fit the request)

Humans were curious to gods, specially, to him. Eren ruled on the Olympus as the God between the Gods. Everything was boring to him, specially, mortals. Such throwaway lives, so far from divine perfection, but yet so intense. If there was a thing he still liked from the human world, it was flowers.

One thing Eren doesn't miss as the new Zeus is to feel. It has been ages since he felt for the last time, when he let himself smile when the spring arrived or let his guard down while sleeping peacefully. He has forgot all of them. A lot of humans want his place, his life. And he won't give up that easy on them.

He was sure nothing could ever rip apart that façade of the perfect god, but he got a gift. A gift, for him. It was on his main door when he left that morning, direction to the tholos where all the Gods spent the long and incontable days. There it was, a miniature of the Trojan Horse, the one that made Achilles win the war. He remembers that moment, he felt a little proud of his army. Of his mortal army. Near the miniature, a big bouquet of flowers rested, with a little note on the side. "Thanks for helping, supreme God. The district of Paradis will always be grateful."

The flowers were way too beautiful to be made by humans. They seemed too perfect, too colorful to be natural. Looking at the flowers again, he left them on the main entrance's vase, knowing that they will be dead with just a couple days on the Olympus.

But they resisted, two days, four and a whole month, maybe more. He moved them to his office, where he watched them for full hours without moving. He was intrigued, where could a human make such perfect flowers? They seemed to be even immortal, as he was. It was the first gift Eren got that was able to last as much as he was going to, unless someone did kill him before.

Those flowers got the name of the "God's Treasure" in the streets of the Olympus, reaching everyone's ears, specially Armin's, the messenger God. He brought those flowers from the mortal lands, and he would gratefully show Eren where they grew. It wasn't long until the God searched the blonde boy, who guided his friend down to mortal domains after years of reclusion on the Olympus. He felt the grass on his feet when they landed. The sweet breeze near the sea, the salty air that played on his hair and moved the leafs of his eucalyptus crown. And he saw the little town, white houses and tiny humans around.

And then he saw you.

Kneeling on the floor with a long, white robe, smiling so preciously while you put tiny flowers on a little girl's hair. The flowers seemed to be so bright, so shiny, and the way you used them with such care and tenderness made him smile unconsciously. They seemed to bloom under your hands, and he felt what he had suppressed for years at a stroke. He wants to be held, to be listened, to be loved. He wants to bloom under someone's soft touch, and he wants to pass his immortal life with someone.

And when your eyes crossed, he knew that someone he has been waiting for was you.

He started to walk, without even knowing what he was gonna say once he arrived. When his long shadow covered you and the kid from the sun, he felt the sudden nervousness. You stood up slowly, asking the kid to go home. He looked at you for a long second, before speaking.

"The flowers that I got at the Olympus... Did you grow them?" Your eyes opened when you realized that Eren, the God among the Gods, was talking to you. Your hands trembled softly when you kneeled respectfully.

At the same time, he kneeled in front of you, a big smile on his lips as he searched your gaze with his.

"Could you show me how you grow those beautiful flowers?" he whispers, making your heart skip a beat. Show him, the most important God between them, your simple flowers?

You were still so unaware of the future crown he was planning you to wear, full of flowers, as he crowned you as his goddess.

ANOTHER SHOW WHERE THEY ARE ACCURATE:

Wukong and Macaque fit with Celestia and Luna, but also with Mufasa and Scar.!!

Here:

Scar has the same scar eye like Macaque, has a darker colour than his brother; resentment towards him, feels like he is in the shadow of his brother.!!

And Mufasa, he's the king, has a yellow//orange colour, more calm than Scar.

Both are angry with each other, both fight, they can work as brothers yes they do.

Hi anoon

Yeaaah omg, they have so many similarities, some time ago I think I saw a post where they talked about exactly what you mention anon, you made me imagine the Lion King's scenes where Mufasa and Scar are arguing or fighting but with Mac and Wukong, you're right, it also fits really well hshs

About Dark and Shadow's Past

Finding out that Dark and Shadow knew each other before Dark went away was eyeopening, because that means they've known each other for a really long time. But exactly how long? And how old were they when they met? Time for me to do my patented Over-analyze move and scrape every canon detail together to form a rough timeline.

Okay so let's start with what we know and work backwards; Time, as of the HSH, is 38. Twilight is 23. And Four is 22-23.

We know Time was dealing with the Termina situation for years, although the number of years is unclear. The only information we have is that we know Malon and him divorced just a few weeks before Majora was murdered and Time was put in the hospital. Thanks to the hospital records Hyrule sends Twilight in HSH ch.4, he know Time was between 25-30 years old at the time. That means that at max the Termina Conflict was between 8 and 13 years ago.

That would make Time, as of his divorce and Majora's deaths, between 25-30.

Next, we also know that the last time Twilight saw Time and Malon together and happy was when he was "a kid". Not super descriptive, but at least we can say that he was probably 12 or younger. That would mean at minimum it happened 11 years ago, which falls neatly between our 13-8 year gap. Since I don't think there's any definitive way to narrow it down further, I'm going to just go with Time and Malon being divorced when Time was 27. And since we know that Time and Malon were newly weds when they moved to Termina (the townhouse was the first time they were living together as per HSH for the Holidays ch.4), that means they got married After Time had dealt with Ganon. Let's assume they were married for 2 years - long enough for the divorce process, Malon to grow roots in the city and stay after the divorce, and have a dysfunctional marriage.

So Time was approximately 25 when he was married.

Now, let's talk Dark's timeline. We know very little about him. The only truly definitive information we have is that he was caught and jailed when he was 19 and that his capture did not coincide with Ganon's defeat. He was questioned in prison, so he had active information that the crown was still using to combat Ganon. We also know that he was modified to look like Time. Being so young, he would have to have been close in age with Time, who I can only assume is slightly older than Dark. Also Time would have had to have made some sort of name for himself to prompt Ganon to create Dark. The process to look for someone to deal with Time started when Dark was 16, so that's another 3 years that Time must have been an active participant in the war.

Time didn't finish high school, so I think he got recruited at around 16 (not sure - I don't remember specifically. My mind doesn't hold Time lore like is does for everyone else lol. Please if someone's got that old post about Time's backstory send me the link so I can double check). Assuming he didn't get actively involved for a few years to train, let's say the Great Deku Tree died 3 years later when Time was 19 - old enough to be a participant but still young. A year or so would be sufficient to make a name, prompting Ganon to start looking for a double.

So during the Ganon War, Time is 21 and Dark is 16.

Time arrests Dark when he is 24 and Dark is 19. A five year gap.

That means as of HSH, after 14 years of prison, Dark is roughly 33.

Now for Shadow.

We know even less about him, if you can believe that. In fact just about the only thing we know about him is that he's around Four's age.

Four is 22-23. Let's say 23, to give ourselves as much leeway as possible. At first I would have put Shadow at the same age but if Shadow is 23 that means Dark would have gone away when Shadow was 9. Not impossible, but not plausible either - Shadow seems too young to connect to Dark and I doubt 19yr old Dark would care about a kid that young. So I'd say Shadow is actually a few years older than Four, maybe 25-26. That would make Shadow 11-12 when Dark was arrested. Old enough to have some time to form some sort of a bond if Shadow is mature for his age.

So that means that by the time Dark was captured, he was 19 and Shadow was about 12.

This may not be accurate - there is very little concrete evidence and there's plenty of wriggle room for change. Maybe Dark is younger, maybe Shadow is older. I have no idea. The only thing I do know is that I'm intrigued by these two and their mysterious connection.

These days they have that antagonistic friendship that is so typical for a duo of skrunkly criminals. But I do wonder what kind of relationship they had back in the day - some sort of twisted Big Brother Program energy? Or was it friendly with Dark using Shadow as a way to subconsciously cling to some form of childhood, despite how messed up both of them were. Or was Shadow trying to get a leg up by networking with Ganon's shiny new child soldier? Did Dark warn Shadow off of getting involved with the Dragmire clan to spare him the shit he himself went through?

I have so many questions and I am, as always, eagerly awaiting any information about these two.

(@st0rmyskies how did I do? Did I get even slightly close or am I off by a mile?)

Not sure if I'll ever write about Four's inner thoughts with regards to the rest of the goings-on in the house. He's the member of the group we know the least about, as you know. I'd love to pick his brain -- via Shadow, of course -- and find out what his impressions were during some of the biggest events during the HSH series. Was he terrified after the break in, or was it just another day for Four? Was he annoyed by the holiday goings-on, did it make him nostalgic, did he even care? Was he interested in moving to Castle Town, or did he just drift along and let life take him wherever it did? Does he care about the other members of the house, or is this just a place to live?

Shadow is the perfect catalyst for that sort of thing. He's the only one who could annoy those sorts of answers out of Four, the only one Four would be up-front and honest with, and the things they find themselves tangled up in during the interrogation -- from chilling at an arcade to having Shadow pop in unannounced to sharing a bed -- would slowly reveal more about the nature of their relationship to the reader, too.

AFRAID OF A SHIP OMG? then be afraid }:) hshs

But also spoildmilk [yes thats the name hshsh] is mostly for dumb fun cause i like to think this would be the only time or one of the only times were tk gets a bit bossy like "you can be silly but dont over do it, mind stuff is okay but just for a bit" you know setting some limits on what shadow milk should and can do hshsh

Opinions on this two?

Tbh, I'm quite scared of this ship. That is too much chaos to be contained into a singular ship, and I think the world would suffer some kind of consenquence just from the ship simply existing.

Sadly, I have no doodles for this because I cannot fathom how their relationship is like at all. If they knew each other, they'd be playmates, but I also think TK is more moral than she may seem because she's chill by the time String Gummy was introuced, so I think she might ultimately disapprove of Shadow Milk ;-;
