Hi I saw your posts about the khux picrew and first of all oh my god that's so cool you're trying to do that, but also I wanted to pass along this website if you've never seen it before! Roboloid was a huge dataminer during khux's run and I find a lot of people don't know about their site where they dumped like every single asset, thought it might be helpful, just take out the spaces :)

https:// roboloid. github. io/khux/assets

Yeah! they are the main resource i am using! i actually only started this because that asset rip was so thorough, if i only had whats on like khwiki i defo wouldn't be doing it haha

hi jelly! what's your favourite headcanon about flora?

Oh god i have so many, you will be getting a Flora rant

Ok so love me a classic super nerd Flora, absolute grease monkey that girl, would casually rip off the back of the slate and fix something in there without pausing her sentence, I'd also pin her down as a sewing nerd, not just cause she was the one who made all the champions clothes but cause i think she has like a 3d puzzle brain, and both mechanical problems and clothing construction slot right into that perfectly (i have ideas about all the zelda's being some flavor of fiber art girlys but that's an aside thing)

I also!! love dragon traits!! on Flora!!! which is why i've be hesitating with her redesign cause my brain is struggling to figure out the engineer-draconic design marrying without it getting way too busy

Shes totally got autism, her and Wild got that opposite autism disease, he's strong silent very non verbal and shes a massive chatterbox that cant help herself but explain everything, he's super hands on with everything, can't help himself but touch to figure out what stuff is and shes super squiked out by texture and wears her gloves so she doesn't feel any bad sensations, i imagine she whacked off her hair cause she couldn't stand the feeling of it long but like put up with it because of her father/for the princess image? (also maybe inspired Riju to cut her own hair shorter, i love Riju and Flora being besties) Wild loved braiding her hair as a fidget thing and grew his own out cause he liked hers so much, I think she began to understand why he liked that so much when she cut her own and used her hairstyling knowledge on him, it's way more fun to do it to someone else then to wear those styles all day you know?

If she keeps some form of scales after totk i think she picks at them as a nervous habit (and probably gets multiple slaps on the wrist from Wild to not pull them for research Zelda please-) i also really like the idea of her like, back spike guys? being like fingernails, it that she still has the crystalline spikes back there and so she can still lie down on her back Wild helps her chip them down to like flat crystal discs on her back, they still probably grow and they need to be cut off regularly but she probably has a tonne of the crystal lying around and makes stuff out of it, also the antler horns! (this is not from my love of scott empires rivendell shut up) she keeps the antlers! and they have actual deer antler stuff! like they will just randomly fall off! and they will be super velvety when they regrow! the image of the soft velvet falling away to reveal like glowing holy crystal underneath is a sick af image and also its horrifically gorey looking cause the velvet has alot of blood vessels in it, i dont think its painful? it just looks like a horror movie lmao

I have some stupid ideas around both Wild and Flora having adhd, in the sense that Wild had the inattentive type and Flora the hyperactive type before everything, Wild being a knight spaces out very easily, is terrible with organizing his personal quarters, boredom is a mind killer and find focus on instructions and tasks near impossible, Flora as the princess with the weight of the world on her shoulders struggles with fidgeting and standing still, being impatient and acting out of turn, by 17 she had social rules all but beaten into her and is kind of living in a personally design hell, but after Wild comes out of the Shrine of Resurrection and after Flora wakes up from the 100 years of sealing Ganon and the millennia being a Dragon, they both now have the combined type lmao, being trapped for so long outside of time has made focus for Flora hard and fucked with her attention span, she also now spaces out alot, i think it would also have the exact opposite effect, and she would seek out excitement and desperately avoid boredom and quiet

I also think shes got echolalia! her stims are mainly vocal and she will absently repeat fun phrases she hears, Purah is a terrible person for her to hang out with because of it, she has called Wild 'Linky' without realising multiple times and he doesn't have the heart to tell her About Purah, her and Flora get on like a house on fire and its terrible for everyone around them

I personally love some exploration of botw/totk and the power/wisdom/courage goops, i'd think flora would put alot of research into the blue shiekah energy and canonically she was looking into the malice/gloom, i'd love her looking into the green Zonai energy and the purification chamber that mummydorf was being used as a battery in and the conversion between the 3 goops (i need to stop or i will start ranting about gods and divinity speculation again) all this to bring up the fun images in my head of her using the glowy blue water in like attacks and animations an stuff like Wilds ascend, if you've seen the kda more music video the little glowy finger trails would be cool for her or even like full steam punk mechanical stuff with tubes full of the stuff, considering that the blue stuff stores information and how she uses her own tears as a dragon to store her memories a collaboration with the Zora and Sidon specifically who can control water to make a more robust storage system that cant be destroyed in a calamity style cataclysm would be cool, like Monomon's archives in Hollow Knight if you know of that, you could even crystalize it to be like the Zora history tables?

I really like the idea of Zelda needing like reading glasses? maybe some lingering weirdness from the dragon eyes or she just reads too much, she has a pair of glasses she doesn't wear very often for reading and for looking at small machinery components, maybe some form of prescription goggles made by Purah? I think she probably has needed them for a long time but only actually started using them recently, i think shes a thin wire frame with smaller rectangular ish lenses kinda gal, very perched low on her nose while sitting reading in bed

I'm going to force myself to stop here cause if i don't this will forever sit in my drafts as i think of new things to add to it

[jellyfishvibes]

hi jelly! <3

oooooooh, so many interesting wips. I would like to know about curse of the four crowns. and sillies!!!!!! there can never be too many sillies.

Hello beloved!

Ok so curse of the four crowns is a fan game(?) idea for a era set between skyward sword and minish cap, with the zelda getting split into four instead of link (from what i remember link is kinda a non character in that story, whoops) its only half my child, the other person i'm building it with isn't on tumblr though so i dont have an @ to give

Anyways that doc is a designs v2 doc so the only sketch kinda finished is Mint's

I am very proud of her, the other colours are..... less done

Here is the much older version of them so you can get an idea for their designs

(Their nicknames are Mint, Strawberry, Lavender and Lemon, yes they are based on the pastel joycons and in my notes they are the icecream gals <3)

Anyways Sillies!

Sillies is my fuck around doc for Star, so it has just some rando doodles of them haha

i can't explain these tbh

[jellyfishvibes]

Good! i'm doing good just very busy rn haha, i haven't talked to anyone in ages Rattling for work to ease up and give me time to do anything else

I have too many wips and too little time to tag, @ everyone who wants to do it All we have learned is that i'm terrible at naming wips

[jellyfishvibes]

No actually i'm not done yet you get my Hylian gender rant (at the very least in the botw era) and if there's bonus Gerudo stuff in there too thats just a cherry on top

So Hylians, Link, Zelda and gender, To Hylians gender is much more linked with gender presentation then with biological sex, (gimmie 7 years and ill fully world build this out but for now we just chilling with it) So your gender is very depended on clothing, hairstyles and accessory's Now for Zelda, her gender would be best described as 'The Princess', her gender is alot more ridged then your average hylian because she is both of the royal family and within the bloodline of Hylia, its why all the Zelda's have similar hairstyle and outfit silhouettes, its also only a gender she 'wears' occasionally, she is 'The Princess Zelda' when shes in her full princess dress and get up and when shes more 'casual' shes dressing more like what we would call 'A Woman' and wile she still obviously has her title and name shes not putting on the whole gender Link has something similar but less like, societally rooted? Links gender is 'The Hero', he (pre shrine) under the pressure to live up to his title is putting on a presentation similar to previous hero's of legends, its while he gets alot more loose about it after he get mind wiped, the pressure isn't there anymore and now hes free to actually explore what he wants

Now the Gerudo and the Hylians, the Gerudo think of gender completely differently to Hylian's and most of the knowledge we have of them is Hylian propaganda because after hundreds of years of colonisation/war/aggressive blood shed the Gerudo have just let the Hylians think what they think and in matters concerning Hylians they play by Hylian rules, Gerudo gender lines lay more along lines of magic then presentation (were going all over the timeline with this one so gimmie a whole sec) So the Gerudo people are people born of the goddess they worship, the Goddess of the Sands, as Hylians are to Hylia, their racial features come from her (Red hair, Gold eyes, pointed noses and rounded ears) they have her magic in their blood, the reason 'All Gerudo are Women' is because to Hylian eyes all Gerudo present in a way that the Hylians would call women, and the reason why 'Ganondorf is the only Male born to the Gerudo once every 100 years' is because hes the only necromancer So (i need to do more thinking bout this but heres the current very general overview) all Gerudo wield some form of magic, and their genders are split along lines of which subset of said magic they manifest in their life, i believe jewellery and specifically earring are very important to the Gerudo as a way to express this, a majority of their people have earth related magic, abilitys aligned with metals and crystals, the few among them who manifest elemental abilitys are regarded higher in social power structures (eg. kotake and koume) and the most powerful among them are those who can wield lightning, a child born with the inclination to lightning is a child destined for the throne, what the Hylians would call a King, and in times without one who has such power they have others take power as what the Hylian's call Chiefs, it would be more similiar in the gerudo culture though to say the royal family ruling vs zelda ruling, one is destined for the throne because they display the same powers as the main goddess worshiped, they are very much a warrior race, placing high regard into swordsmanship and their given name of Gerudo translating to Spear People, but they also have very high regard for metalwork and blacksmithing, i believe they are the main gold exporter for hyrule as the desert sands they live in are mineral rich (points to red strings its about resources the hylian civil war was always about resources and they wanted the gerudo to yeild so badly because they had bountiful mines of precious metals down there, its probably especially a sore thing considering i believe that the reason the gerudo live confined to the desert anyways is because the hylians banished them there and got super fucking mad when the gerudo found important resources on the land anyways i cant talk about my timeshift stone conspiracy here) in oot they dont allow anyone non gerudo in unless they prove themself in combat, its only botw where only women are allowed into Gerudo town, and thats kind of the Hylians own fault, they forced their idea of Woman onto the Gerudo and the Gerudo were like ok bet, only women are allowed into our town then, which is why Link is allowed in when he dresses as a 'Woman' because he is a woman by hylian thought and when changes and dresses like a 'Man' then following that standard hes not allowed in anymore, thats also why basically all Goron are allowed in, Goron are a mono gender race and are only considered 'Men' to the Hylians, while were on this rant i believe Rito gender ideas are similiar to the Hylians but are less clothing based and more Plumage based so the most like irl genders Oh yeah also basically all races have (at least) a third gender category for children, children are seperated from gender until they are old enough to chose essentially and when that is is different for every race, i know the (botw) rito have physical markers of maturity (only young rito have the red dots on their face) so gender would be a thing after those are lost and side fairy tangent-

-side fairy tangent- i think the fairy and adjacent folk in zelda have no gender they just sort of play at it, like the Kokiri in oot, they are playing house essentially, they have a shop that sells things for money they have no use for, they have very distinct distinctions in clothing between the boy and girl kokiri and for all of them have houses, none of them sleep, its cause their playing pretend for Link, and fairys of all sorts have no gender they are doing the same, playing pretend for the non fairy races benefit and i think fairy might be kind of used as a descriptor in that way? like in oot malon clocks link immediately and calls him Fairy Boy, and i think thats a more widespread thing that the boy kokiri are not 'Boys' their 'Fairy Boys' and the girls arent 'Girls' their 'Fairy Girls', i defo have many fae thoughts and how weird and uncanny valley they are to the non fae in loz because they assimlate the looks of them as to put them at ease and it doesnt work perfectly, and also alot of Time thoughts and how he kinda follows those gender ideas and doesn't ever actually connect with gender even in his later years

hi jelly! what's your favourite headcanon about flora?

Oh god i have so many, you will be getting a Flora rant
