Your recent post about post-PH AU stuff got me curious: why would Linebeck not like Tetra? Is it something specific to the continuity with hum!Bellum or more of a common thread present across several/all your takes on Linebeck? It's an interesting idea that somehow never crossed my mind as a possibility, and iirc you haven't talked about it before, too.

i think it mostly boils down to him not taking kindly to having to interact with another captain, especially not one who used to have link on her crew and might encroach on his authority when the two crews work together. it's really just the most relevent to post-ph with bellum present, and bellum doesn't actually have too much of an influence on the way linebeck feels about her (bellum is the one who really hates her, he's a liiiiittle pissy that he never got to take all of her life force, and he never really spends the time with her to... not hate her at least a little).

i think there is a slightly through line between my aus of linebeck and tetra not being on good terms??? tetra isn't present in a ton of aus (usually not included if there's a big focus on just zelda), but i think in the ones where she does, their paths don't cross often. i know she's in the space au and the crimson king au, and i think linebeck has more or less the same feelings abt her (being that she's a little annoying but ultimately no someone he really pays attention to until she's actively causing problems or something) tetra tends to be more important with whatever link's got going on in aus. most of the time i just think linebeck and tetra generally aren't on good terms.

otherwise they just dont get along in my mind as captains who probably step on each other's feet a lot and maybe dont like each others crew much (i dont really think linebeck would be toooo fond of her crew either, and tetra is def going to feel some kind of animosity towards bellum even if he doesnt come clean abt his identity to her) and operate too differently

#goopi-e #asks #salty talks #i had to pull up my au list bc i do not know off the top of my head what aus tetra is in asides from space and crimson king #she might only be properly relevant in those and only those so. the two aus where linebeck def isnt going to interacting with her much #uhhh tags #linebeck #tetra #sure???#similarly??? i think linebeck wouldnt like her bc she reminds him of ciela a little but chiefly of jolene n he is NOT putting up with that #i think hed teasingly call her 'princess' specifically to piss her off #HOWEVER they do have to kinda get along later when tetra figures out she likes girls too and hes like the only person she can ask abt it #shes like FUCK hes the only gay person i know goddammit i have to talk to him #damien is ignored for. some reason. hes probably the better candidate bc he also likes women and is nice #but i think it should be linebeck just so they can like. talk. probably linebeck be hes easier to get away from everyone else #and she can lie and say she has captain stuff to talk abt be shes kinda embarrassed abt it #i need to take a longer look at stuff abt tetra i feel like im missing a lot abt her??? idk im not the most interested in her tbh #but i think linebeck doesnt like her much and the feeling is mutual for a while #linebeck likes only like two of tetras crewmates. he acts like a predatory animal that spotted weak prey around niko specifically #across aus character relationships tend to be different. i think link and linebecks tends to be similar? the idea of being a good team #across my aus theyre more like soulmates than link and zelda. they do have good chemistry to work off of imo #based on their canon personalities n shit. a lot of the time in fanworks they (tetra n linebeck) seem to be on bad/shaky terms
