#loz villains

[sleepy-the-loz-enthusiast]

oh also i forgot to mention in my last ask, what do the villains do in the au??

u mentioned that ghirahim tries to kill the links and ganon kidnapped him as a baby, is their goal just to take down/assassinate the royal family?

and what about other loz antagonists like vaati or majora or cia or the yiga or-

i’m getting too ahead of myself- no need to answer my questions all at once lmao

Nono dw, they're very good questions !

I was rambling about this to my friend a while ago and they joked about Ganondorf being a kind of mob boss, so I'm going with that kind of idea. It's a bit like how in oot Ganondorf pledges alliance to the royal family, but he plans to betray them and take over Hyrule- he is good friends with people in the government so they excuse his actions. He also pays them to keep quiet and silence victims when things get out of hand.

In this au, the Royal Family and government work hand in hand, so Ganondorf also fakes loyalty to them. His end goal is to break down the people until they're fully at his mercy and not able to fight back, then work his way up to having full power over Hyrule. The Zeldas are the only members of the royal family who can work mostly outside of his radar, which is why they're very significant.

As for the other Zelda antagonists, I feel like they'd be people working under Ganondorf who've sworn their loyalty and he's given them power, wheras the Yiga are basically his fan club who he finds annoying, but uses their loyalty to his advantage. He doesn't care for the Yiga, he mostly prioritises the other loz villains as in the games they play more of a significant role.

Like, Ghirahim and Zant for example; they're basically his sons, he trusts them the most so uses them for the more important tasks, because in sksw and tp the actual characters play more significant roles and are an active threat that shows up to humble the respective Link. But because of that, Ganondorf is constantly comparing them and uses one's achievements to belittle the other, so both of them are seeking his praise and favour, trying to break the other down to be the superior one. Ghirahim was kidnapped because it's a well-known fact that people in that family are typically incredibly smart and talented in their fields so Ganondorf wanted thag on his side. Zant willingly joined after being pissed off for being constantly rejected by everyone and just wanting to join the 'winning team' so that he could flaunt his power to those people.

For Cia, seeing as I'm fairly certain in Hyrule Warriors canon she commands an army and before that was in charge of timeline stuff, I'm gonna say she's a part of the Government overseeing laws and generally what people do. She's also working to train up an army of sorts with loyalty to Ganondorf, but most of them are Yiga Clan. She's grown to despise bananas now...

Ganondorf doesn't really play a huge role in Majora's mask, and there's nothing confirmed about the origins of Majora other than a small spinoff manga, so I'm not entirely sure about Majora's role. But taking inspiration from another modern au- Skyward Floored's incredibles au- maybe Majora could be more of its own thing who just works with Ganondorf as they share ambitions of power and world domination. Majora's more brutal, however, and deals with... enemies of Ganondorf, let's just say. This also has something to do with Time's facial tattoos...

As for Vaati, I'm not too sure about what role he plays in his games so I can't say much for him. But he does have a strong connection with Shadow, who just so happens to be Four's ex boyfriend who went missing.

They're all evil and irredeemable, but some character depth couldn't hurt right-?

Anyways, thank you for the ask !! I didn't mean to ramble for so long but have a nice existence lmao-

The Club of Evil

Reader and their friends all decide to go to a club, what could go wrong?

Loz modern au

Warnings: Swearing, drug and alcohol use, mentions of awful parents, mentions of discrimination, let me know if I need to add more.

｡☆✼★━━━━━━━━━━━━★✼☆｡

The Cafe on campus was quaint, not to say a few fights broke out every once and a while over something small, but it wad quaint. The fall breeze brought along fall leaves of red, orange and yellow, and fall fashion came out in full swing. Some students of the college campus rode bikes to their classes or walked with friends holding coffees.

"I'm sorry-" Yuga started, his pencil frozen as he looked up with dark eyeshadow covered eyes at Girahim, who had his signature red jacket on. "That sound just ugly! Why would any of us what to do. . .that?!" he exclaimed, crunching his nose up. Reader nodded, hair in a loose hair band shaking along with them.

"Yea. . . Girahim," they started, looking at his smiling face "I understand trashing the top sorority here, I get that. Spoiled brats need to be punished. But breaking into a nightclub and tampering with the liquor and blaming it on Professor what's-his-face? That's pushing it."

Ghirahim frowned, and Vaati, who was sitting besides him, scoffed at the man next to him. "You really believe we would help you with something so absurd?"

"Maybe." he said, looking at the three again, holding his coffee. "Come on. There would be no harm in trying-"

"Actually-" Zant piped up, sitting between Vaati and Cole, who was reading a book, "It is more harm than none. Reader just got permission into trying to adopt Icarus-"

Reader's eyes looked down at their cup at the mention of their baby brother, who was in foster care.

"Vaati and Cole would loose their scholarships if we were caught there,"

"I'm not loosing that even if I was a rich man." Cole said, his red hair and hat both fine looking, Vaati sipped his tea.

"Yuga and I would be kicked out either to discrimination or be charged worse due to having been in juvenile detention before. And you, Ghirahim, would be sent back to your father."

Ghirahim paused, fear and rage flashing in his eyes before he sighed and leaned back in his chair and ran a hand through his hair. "Fine. I don't know what I was thinking. All the drinks we could want, think of the women. We might find a real beauty for you to paint, Yuga."

Yuga perked up at this, a creepy smile invading his features. Reader shook their head. "Hell no, I'm two and a half months sober, I'm not relapsing."

"Which we- or at least I- am proud of, Reader" Cole said, smiling slyly at Reader.

They nervously laughed. "when you smile like that I can't tell if you're about to scam me or if you're actually pleased."

"The point is-" the Twili said, looking from Reader to Girahim "We won't be participating in your activities this evening."

"Yes, what Zant said" Reader commented. "Other than Cole, we aren't even old enough to go into a night club! That's an illegal move there from the start! Vaati is like 18!"

"I'm 22." he corrected, long purple hair down with his purple beanie on. Reader looked back in shock.

Ghirahim glared at everyone at the table, clearly upset before shooting a look at Vaati. "Why are you even here?! Your smug ass never even talks the most you do is stick your nose in a book!"

"Hey-" Yuga started, "Leave him out of this-"

Vaati frowned and closed his book. "No no, let me speak." Vaati stood up, and glared at Ghirahim. "You want my answer? Fine. You're a spoiled brat, worse than the ones at the top sorority. You know no boundaries, opting to harrass any woman who mearly breaths in your direction. You constantly ditch us when the slightest issue arises, running off and leaving us to clean up your mess. So, tell me, why should I care to listen to your babble and brooding?"

Ghirahim shot up. "You're one to talk! You have this regal attitude like you're better than all of us! Always speaking like some kind of lord, acting like you're some kind of mage or something!"

"Maybe I am better than you." Vaati said, a sly smile appearing on his face. Zant stood as well, seeing that the tension was increasing heavily.

"Alright, both of you need to calm down." he said, but Ghirahim snapped at him as well.

"And you're no better! you start going to therapy and suddenly you're acting like a know it all! We don't want your opinions!"

Yuga scoffed at Ghirahim "At least he's trying to get help."

Ghirahim had seemed to loose any sense of his act, dropping the gentleman act in his rage. The facade always made Reader forget what kind of person Ghirahim truly was. . .

Within seconds harsh words were being tossed around like bombs. Reader felt all the anxiety and stress build up, hearing their parents harsh words along with their friends. Reader grabbed their bag and stood up, rushing away, needing a desperate break from these. . .children.

Exiting the Cafe, the only thought running through Reader's head was "I need new friends."

»»————-　★　————-««

Laying in their dorm full of music themed posters and an old guitar that had been neglected for some time now, a signed vinyl record on the wall of Reader's favorite band was collecting dust. Yet they couldn't bring themselves to clean. It was pathetic, so distressed by a small fight. Yet it was a cruel reminder of their angry neglectful parents, that let Reader drown in drugs and alcohol, that let baby icarus starve and lay in his dirty diapers.

Icarus. . .

It wasn't until Icarus was born did Reader finally want to change their life, to turn it around. They started to try and push away the drugs and drinks at fifteen all to care for their baby brother. They were nineteen now, and Icarus was four, stuck in foster care u til they could gather their life together.

Reader met their friends at the start of the year, and they clicked, all having been through hell in their own lives. However, when Reader's parol officer told them they needed to stay clean for about a year, they started to look for new friends. They needed to better themselves. . . for Icarus.

"I should speak to the counciler" they grumbled, standing up from their bed and slowly throwing on their jacket, on to exit their dorm.

Reader opened the door and Ghirahim stood, frozen with his fist raised.

"You." he said, and Reader rose a brow.

"Me?"

"Look, I-" he started, "I want to apologize. I was frustrated and upset everyone. I. . . I'm sorry."

Reader stood, paused before grinning evilly "Do my ears deceive me? The Ghirahim? apologizing? How the mighty have fallen."

He huffed before smiling. "Well, you won't ever hear it from me again. Now, Zant and Yuga have decided to invite us to an outing. It would be quite rude of you to ignore such a generous offer."

Reader grinned. "Ah yes, a night to my wonderful self, or a night spent with you idiots. Ah, the choices, the choices. . ."

However, their mind was already made up as they left the dorm building.

»»————-　★　————-««

"So, like-" Yuga started, staring as Reader gnawed at their peice of rock roast, the group walking down the street that was ever so busy. "Are your teeth still intact from that?"

"What?" Reader asked, swallowing a bit of their rock roast.

Yuga shook his head. "Never mind. You, my darling, are an enigma to me."

Reader grinned and cackled, turning to Vaati, who was wearing his long dark purple coat, the charming man catching the eyes of many passing by women and a few men. "Are you really 22?!"

He huffed, "Yes. Does that shock you so? You've seen me drink wine."

"That was grape juice, though." Reader said, Vaati's eye twitch. "I remember you told me to carry some grape juice with me taht one time so you wouldn't have to intake anything. Where do you think I got the idea of carrying apple juice and pretending it's whiskey so I could stay clean?"

Cole laughed behind Vaati. "You? Vaati! I didn't think you were a teetotaler!"

"There are many things you don't know about me." Vaati said, Glaring at Cole, who simply laughed.

a silence fell over the group, only the sounds of others laughing and chatting and walking feet were heard as well as cars driving by until Reader spoke.

"I had a weird dream." They started. Yuga looked down at them, making a hum of acknowledgment toward them. "It was really weird. It was us, but. . .evil. Ghirahim, you were some kind of living demon sword-"

"oh?" Ghirahim said, smiling wickedly

"Zant was some kind of userper to this other world. Yuga could turn into a painting, Cole was a demon, and Vaati was some kind of magical man or something."

Cole laughed. "How amusing! Your dreams always seem to be so strange."

"You should stop playing so many video games." Zant said. Reader turned and gave him a horrified look. he chuckled. "I'm only joking. Though, your dreams may be trying to tell you something."

"Okay chicken man." Reader scoffed. Zant gave them a look, and Reader cackled.

Suddenly, a stumbling man slamed into Ghirahim, and started swearing. "Oi! Watch it. . . Fa-" However, Ghirahim pushed the man down, causing more slurring and swearing.

"Where did he come from?" Vaati asked, sneering at the fool on the ground.

Looking around, Reader heard the distant sound of music and looked down the ally the man came from and smiled. Not a good one.

"What?" Cole asked and looked to where Reader was looking. He let out a laugh, "Oh my! Is that a free entry?"

The others looked at where the two were looking and all couldn't help but let michevious smiles show.

"Ah, well, we should keep going." Reader said suddenly, smile vanishing. "I'd rather not cause any trouble- where are you all going?!"

The men were all heading towards the door, laughing to themselves. Reader groaned. "I need better friends."

»»————-　★　————-««

The Club was loud, and music was blaring. Ghirahim was off with a stranger, Cole was at the bar, and the rest were at a corner table. Reader had a glare etched on their face, a glass of apple juice in hand, Vaati sipping grape juice from a wine glass he had snatched from behind the bar. Yuga was looking for 'pretty people' and Zant was on his phone.

"Smile, darling." Yuga said to Reader, "You'll get wrinkles."

"I don't want to be here." They scoffed, leg bouncing.

Zant hummed. "Yes, however I Promise that you won't relaps. I won't let that happen to you."

Reader sighed, "Thanks Zant, but that's not what I'm worried about. Weren't we all fighting about this this morning?'

Zant nodded. Yuga spoke up. "Look, I'm not too fond of this either, to many. .. " he sent a glare around the room, "Worms here. . . however, we aren't framing anyone for anything, and you never know what gem you may find."

Reader fell back in the chair and started to read over Vaati's shoulder. He turned and scowled. "Do you mind?"

"No. Not really." Reader said, sipping their juice.

The group stayed silent, Yuga looking for an attractive person, Zant on his phone and Vaati and Reader reading. Reader yawned, sand stretched before looking into the crowd and whistling. "Hey, hottie at 12 o'clock."

In a flash, Zant, Yuga and Vaati looked up to see a blond lady in a sparkly dress with a nice figure laughing on the floor. "Oh my! Good eye, reader." Yuga said, laughing and starting to draw. Reader felt a shift besides them and looked to see Vaati had vanished, and looking back saw Vaati, flirting with the woman. Yuga gasped and growled. "That rat!" he exclaimed, ditching Zant and Reader to try and worm his way into Vaati and the lady's conversation.

"Well, I suppose it is just you and I." Zant said, and Reader nodded. "Well, I must say, you've changed."

"Huh?" Reader asked

Zant reiterated. "You've changed, and for the better. I'm sure when you can get Icarus back, you'll be the best you can for him."

Reader smiled softly, ans patted his shoulder. "Thanks, Zant."

"My my!" A woman's voice spoke up near the two "What's this?! Reader and Zant?! Dating?!"

Their heads turned to see the diva, the fashionista, Maud. Reader gasped.

"Maud! How have you been, I haven't seen you in like three months!"

Maud sat down next to Reader, Zant scowled. "Oh Darling, I was in Italy for a few months to further my studies!"

"I hardly call looking at poka dots studying." Zant said, aggravation in his voice. Maud chuckled, "Oh Darling, you just can't understand. . . someone like. . . you-" She eyed Zant up and down with disgust, "couldn't possibly understand. Are you sure you want to date this?"

"oh!" Reader blushed "Me and Zant-"

"Zant and I." Zant inturupted, Reader turned.

"Zant and I will END you if you correct me again."

Zant shut his mouth and Reader returned to speaking with Maud. "No, we aren't dating. I'm not interested in dating at the moment."

"Ah, I see." Maud said, smiling. "Well, I know a nice someone I could introduce you to, if you ever interested."

"Maud!" Ghirahim's voice called and Maud lit up, and turned to see the flamboyant man approaching. She stood and hugged him for a second before pulling away, both kissing eachothers cheeks.

"Ghiri!" She said, positively thrilled. "How are you, darling? Why, I've gotten you something from my travels!"

"You let someone go to France one time-" Reader whispered to Zant, and he nodded, both watching Ghirahim and Maud's strange interaction.

"Maud?" Cole said, making Zant jump as Cole appeared out of seemingly nowhere. Within seconds, Cole join whatever conversation that Ghirahim and Maud was having earlier.

Zant and Reader looked at each other and nodded, both leaving the corner booth. "Wanna leave and go somewhere else?" Reader asked as the two scooted on the edge of the dance floor. Zant nodded when it happened. A man was thrown into Reader, and knocked to the floor. The man, in a drunk rage, shot up and ran back into the floor, Reader slowly standing up to see Yuga and Vaati in a fist fight. the woman both were after earlier watching in horror.

Security started to try and push their way through the crowd and Zant grabbed Reader's wrist, pulling them away to the exit, the two spotting Cole, ghirahim, and Maud running after them. Reader used their free hand to whistle, catching Vaati's and Yuga's attention, and snapping them out of their fighting mood enough to see Security. They booked it, the group rushing out the back door.

"GO GO GO!" Reader yelled, speeding up as they shot out of the ally, hearing angry shouts from behind them.

The run through the city was a blur before everyone stopped in the park, panting and out of breath, and in Vaati and Yuga's case, brushed and disheveled.

"What. the. F*ck!?" Ghirahim yelled at the two, Vaati trying to fix his hair and Yuga holding a now blackening eye. "Was that?! Thanks to you both, we are gonna be chased for Goddesses knows how long!"

"He-" Yuga pointed at Vaati "Started it!"

"As if." Vaati snarled.

"Enough!" Zant exclaimed as Maud put he hand infront of ger mouth, letting out an "Oh my~".

"This bickering will do nothing for us! We need to get back to the dorms before the night gaurds realise we snuck out!"

Reader ran a hand over their face. "I really need better friends." they said, groaning.

Link HUMS Ocarina of time songs while cooking?? I just noticed on Zelda's lullaby but I'm pretty sure he's also done Eponas song and Sarias song???? This guy loves cooking so much he's unlocking memories from a past life but JUST in the form of music?? Is that what this is???? I love him

[starry-bi-sky]

i have been unmedicated for the entirety of spring break and thus have had little interest in writing this down, but i have been thinking about this for the entire week (as well as a dpdc clone danny au that resulted in it becoming its entirely separate batman au that includes a teenage vigilante bruce wayne, an ocarina, and me entirely incapable of making a batman au without making bruce dirt poor but we're not talking about that) and so i've finally went 'fuck it' and forcibly grabbed my laptop. I will get this done in one sitting even if it kills me.

BUT. This is about neither clone^2 danny nor about who i am calling Ocarina Batman. This is about my Danyal Al Ghul Au and more SPECIFICALLY it's me thinking about his relationship with Sam and Tucker specifically.

Tucker and Sam? Adore this asshole (affectionate) with every fiber of their being. And it is very much a reciprocated feeling, but Danny's thoughts will not be delved into much other than he would kill for them.

Tucker? The only person currently capable of getting a deep, loud, belly laugh out of Danny. Sam can get him to smile and to laugh, but it's the kind that's a chuckle-under-the-breath. The quiet, looks-down-while-huffing laughter. Snorts once with laughter and then grins stupidly.

But Tucker? Tucker can crack a slew of stupid jokes and Danny will be incapacitated for the next five minutes because he's laughing so hard that he can't breath. He lands one well-timed pun or quip and Danny will be close to tears. His laughter is their favorite sound in the whole world.

Sam is lowkey jealous of this ability, and she's gotten a belly laugh out of Danny a few times. But alas, it is Tucker who wields this power and has gotten it the most times out of the two of them.

-

They're also both physically affectionate with Danny as much as possible. It started roughly around when they were 12-ish, a year since they befriended Danny, and they noticed that he sought after touch but never seemed to initiate (and was in some ways repulsed by it). They started slowly being more touchy with him. Hooking a finger around his to lead him somewhere, tapping his wrist, looping arms. Little touches, grabs, etc, to get him used to it, and once he started doing it back they started increasing it.

It's gotten to a point where he will now just. Lay on them. Like a lizard sunbathing on a rock. Leaning on their backs when they're sitting in class before the bell rings, his chin on their heads. He'll talk about anything with his arms looped around their shoulders.

If they're sitting on a couch at either of their houses, he'll lay his legs on theirs. Him and Tucker will press their feet against the other's and try and push against them (newsflash: Danny always wins, Tucker claims its the ghost strength but Danny's been winning since before his accident)

-

Naturally, both Sam and Tucker know where Danny keeps his weapons on his person, and are allowed to grab them off of him if they need it. His only requirement is that they don't lose his weapons if they take it and forget to return it immediately.

They both understand how big of a thing this is from Danny, and so they do their best to treat his weapons with a lot of respect and care because they know its his way of saying he trusts them.

-

Sam and Tucker are so fond of Danny it's insane. Like fr. That's their goddamn best friend, and they are so protective of him. Emotionally, physically, you name it. They will tear the head off a grown man if they need to, Danny's had scars since he arrived in Amity Park and Sam and Tucker both are going to find the person who put them there and make them pay for it.

One time, Tucker overheard a bunch of upperclass girls speaking nastily about Danny and about the rumors surrounding him, calling him names like 'freak', 'monster', etc. Danny was with him and heard it, and seemingly appeared unbothered by it, even telling Tucker that he was used to such rumors.

Tucker was so furious that hacked into the school system later that night and tanked those girls grades. They were kicked out of their clubs and had to go to mandatory tutoring for the rest of the year. He made sure to leave some way of letting them know it was him who did it.

And Sam doesn't like using her money for things, doesn't like abusing that wealth. So instead, whenever her parents talk bad about Danny, she causes a media incident that has her parents scrambling to deal with. She does something wild, outrageous by her parents' standards.

She heard some boys on the basketball team making fun of Danny once, similar to those girls had. She kicks up a fuss about something eco-unfriendly at school and forcibly holds a protest on the same day of the big home basketball game, forcing them to cancel the event and reschedule to a visiting school.

She anonymously donates money so that there's new uniforms for the team but oops! Looks like she "forgot" to donate enough money for them to get uniforms for all the team members, and strangely enough those boys in particular didn't get them! Looks like they'll have to wait until more money gets donated for the basketball team to get their new, nice uniforms. The old ones look so ratty in comparison, right?

And since the football team gets most of the sport money, that might just take awhile. And if (and when) they kick up a fuss? oops! Off the basketball team you go, :) such unsportsman-like behavior is unfit for the team.

(The only good thing about how corrupt the school system is is that she can use it to her advantage too.)

The both of them know that Danny suspects them for the sudden misfortune falling on these people, but he doesn't call them out on it. He's kinder than he used to be, but not kind enough to vouch for people who speak badly of him. Sometimes, he might just congratulate them on not getting caught.

Because Danny is their wonderful, hurt friend with a "slightly" Blue and Orange Moral code, and enough scars that people have been calling him a criminal (and worse) since he arrived in Amity Park when he was ten. And they'll be damned if he gets hurt anymore.

“d-do you like?” 🥺

I’ve been playing TOTK and thought the frostbite armor would look cool on Shang Qinghua (ref below cut)

[mylonelydreaming]

Zelda game where you play as Ganon or Ganondorf against a possessed Link and Zelda. And the reason he's the protagonist is it ruins the game for him if he has no opposition from a hero and princess anymore. But now he has to begrudgingly be a goody two shoes to the people of Hyrule until he gets their hero and princess back to normal.

[magnetic-rose]

for the record even if ganondorf is irredeemably evil and tries to kill everyone i’ll still support him. he’s my boo. my cinnamon apple. my rotten soldier, my sweet cheese, my good time boy. he’s my babygirl, the apple of my eye, the reason i get up in the mornings. my forever galpal.

[crv1meiko]

[sovlstr]

13 days is how long it took, from my very first drawing of Ganondorf to this point.

Imma be so frI just wanted to teach myself better rendering bc my last drawing of him was deeply flawed.... This took 38 hrs bc I kept procrastinating adding his nipples and body hair. While I still don't know how to draw them, oh well. Hope you guys like 🤍
