#marjora's mask

[hopeymchope]

Saw the following comment on a WatchMojo countdown of Top 10 Worst Things to Happen to Link in the Legend of Zelda series. You think it's accurate?

The worst thing to happen to Link was Zelda taking his house after BOTW

I'd say that the list WatchMojo provided definitely contains multiple things that are worse than having his house taken out from under him. SUCH AS: Having his arm chopped off in TotK, being forcibly transformed into a Deku Scrub in Marjora's Mask, failing to protect Hyrule 100 years earlier in BoTW, seeing everyone he came to care about on Koholint cease to exist in Link's Awakening, and literally dying in one of the canonical OoT endings. :P Admittedly, I just listed things that happened to four different Links, so it's not one person actually endured all that torment.

HOWEVER... ! I want to take this opportunity to submit my latest findings RE: Link's housing situation at the start of TotK.

I've previously written about how irritated I was that he lost his own house in TotK — and I established that the evidence indicates he isn't living with Zelda in the same house, either. But the fact remains the narrative makes it clear that he's still close to her side pretty much all the time. In which case: Where is he sleeping? Where does he live? I figured he had to be somewhere in Hateno Village in order to remain nearby... and I believe I have my answer.

If you cross the bridge right in front of what is now Zelda's house, you soon come across...

...these two modular houses, just over the nearest hill.

In Hateno Village (well… in any occupied village), you normally can't enter any building that isn't currently lived in or being used by some character. You'll see them come and go on various days or times of day, confirming where they live/work. We can enter the left-side house shown here... and sure enough, that house is where Medda lives.

What about the house on the right? Anybody living there?

Once again, we can go right inside. There's a single-person bed and some books here, but not much else. What's really interesting is that, no matter how long I waited? Nobody ever came into or even near this house's entrance.

I think you understand what I'm insinuating: I believe that Link moved to this modular house, one of the two nearest structures to what is now Zelda's residence. It's clearly occupied by somebody (because we can walk right into it), but nobody ever enters except for us. There's a single bed in here for one person. Sure, it looks spartan, but so did our original BotW house before we added more personal touches. It's a shame we can't find those same personal touches in this modular home, though. If this house contained some weapon display frames, that'd REALLY take my theory's evidence over the top.

Even if I'm right, there are still plenty gaps to fill in. Did Link gift his house to Zelda to provide her comfort in exchange for her buying the nearest modular home as a guard station for him? Does he think this house is a piece of crap, and that's why he can buy and arrange a new one in TotK? Draw your own conclusions, I suppose.

How cool would it be if ToTK or its sequel added a 4th dragon; Majora, in a slightly different form from the way he looked in the manga!! I was thinking it would be cool if Majora was a dragon that you always have an opportunity to farm when he appears in the forest skies and you can get materials just like with the other dragons. I just had this thought from staring at the Forest Dweller’s Sword and then thinking about the other swords and them being elemental and the former sword being somewhat elemental too and all the other swords looking like their respective dragon. It wouldn’t be far off calling Majora the Forest Dwelling Dragon because the land without time from the manga story seems similar to the Korok/Kokiri/etc. forests with the residents being somewhat frozen to the same age. Marjora’s Mask ends up with the Skull Kid of said forest, or a similar one, and it could be said that it being the original home of Majora, it’s his element. Big leafy dragon and a new weird forest/wind power sword would be so dope for a surprise find! Also maybe a Majora armour set and also Majora’s Mask again!

Does Oikawa still play volleyball in your future canonical

Well I came up with my personal canon for Oikawa back in 2016? It’s something I worked hard on so while we have a ‘true canon ending’ for me it’s definitely going to be within another universe. I���m sticking with my personal canon as my main verse for Oikawa, which is him going to college and taking photography along with social sciences!

He still does Volleyball but more lowkey, he kinda sits out as the other setter. Just seeing as really he shouldn’t be playing, his main volleyball focus is teaching it to children like he did for Takeru, his doctor and physical therapist are more against him even doing that but does he listen? No.

A big part of my personal canon is that he helps out in his grandma’s florist, it’s something he’ll end up taking over in the future. I really love the idea of making him a florist I feel it’s something he’d find relaxing and he’s a big fan of the meanings behind flowers etc;

tell us more about your majoras mask ocs

It's really sweet of you to be curious about my Marjora's Mask Oc's :D They were made to be used in a table top scenario but been kind of on the back burner since, so there isn't a ton of info on development.

Ashtad really is the most fleshed out of the two, as I've at least got her backstory down. Her mother belonged to the Gerudo tribe and accidentally meet her father, who was a folklorist that REALLY talked up how absolutely adventurous and amazing he was. The two of them had a whirlwind romance and she actually left her settlement to travel with him, only to find out: surprise, he's more of a pencil pusher, you're now pregnant and oh, by the by, he has a wife back home. So that unfolded rather quickly and what was left between them was Asthad. Almost as soon as she was born, her mother got up and left in the middle of the night, leaving her father to prolong his travels, not committing as a parental figure but at least having the moral decency to not abandon an infant. First when Asthad was about 10 did he actually just leave her at the side of the road to fend for herself, feed up with being away from his own home and not wishing to turn up with a surprise love child. After that Ashtad managed to make her way to Clock Town where she tried to find anything to put a roof over her head, soon being drawn to Romani Ranch where she was allowed simple tasks in exchange for a room and three square meals a day. Although I haven't played a lot with her in this setting, Ashtad is a really old oc of mine that was used in a fantasy setting long ago and I just loved what I did with her design and repurposed it :) As for Uta, she is a bit of a mystery, even to me. I was meant to use her more but the time just haven't come for that just yet. She was raised my a witch in the middle of nowhere until she one day wandered too far away, getting lost in the woods and more or less whatever memories she had from earlier years. She was found by a former pirate (played by my spouse) and just sort of stuck with her. Uta is really just curiosity personified! Thanks again for asking, I always feel silly trying to speak about my oc's but it's nice that Asthad and Uta were interesting to you :D

Hi I'm auditioning for the role of Link and I'll be singing "Final Countdown" by Europe

[watertribe-enya]

What kind of garage sale was that? Probably the same kind where a mysterious, one eyed man sells you haunted Marjora's Mask cartridges. And frickin hedge magic again. Those records about Morpheus imprisonment must have been...something. First you get the semi useful stuff about his capture (which only worked because the events oft Overture tired him) and then it's seventy years of

Entry 1 : I tried to talk to the Dreamlord. He ignored me.

Entry 7 : I tried to threaten the Dreamlord. He glared at me.

Entry 32348 : I told the Dreamlord I would let him rot in his prison forever. He ignored me.

And please don't kill Lucien. The story summaries already bluffed once, about Matthew. Or at least they made it sound worse than it was. And while he got multilated he's still alive and kicking (flapping?). The summaries also promised another secret from Abel.

Abel: Of course I could help you with killing yourself. Or I could tell you what Lord Morpheus is doing right now.

Lucien: What are you saying? He's dead!

Abel: Not anymore.

The Dreaming issue 16

Okay, Simon.  A Night Hag.  Good for you in finally explaining what Dora is over a year and a half after you start!  FINALLY!

 Told you it would be kind of anti-climatic…   Actually, I’m kind of relieved.  I thought it might end up being ridiculously big.  It makes sense but that really, really didn’t need to be a mystery / surprise.  In fact that’s like announcing “Dora is humanoid.”   It’s like “…And?  Water is wet now?”   This was your big build up?  The reveal that the monster that is always hungry and horny …is a Night Hag?  That’s like trying to make a Marvel twist that Malekith is a Drow. 

I shouldn’t complain.  This makes perfect sense.   I’m just annoyed at the long, drawn out “GUESS DORA’S AMAZING SECRET!”  You might as well have said the secret is “She has weird ears.”   

It makes sense.  And of course she was the accidental catalyst and inspiration for Hyperion’s scheme.   Thanks, Dora… 

This really did not need to be drawn out as long as it was.

Though if we really nitpick here, Eve sort of fit the Night Hag Role when she was haunting the dying Matthew Cable before he became Morpheus’ raven…  I know she’s technically not a Night Hag but she pretty much served that purpose during her appearance in Swamp Thing in the issue where Matthew dies (and ultimately becomes Morpheus’ raven).  

Now let’s pause a moment. The records of Morpheus’ capture WERE SOLD AT AN ESTATE (Garage) SALE IN 2007!?!  What the Hell type of garage sales do you go to!?? 

Thanks, Paul…  Or is Paul did? I figured Alexander Burgess should have passed away by now but who is running the estate that you can just buy records of Morpheus’ capture?!

Also do- not- compare- the Lord of Dreams to an app! 

I have to admit this issue was actually kind of interesting (Finally!  It hasn’t been intriguing since issue 7.  That was the first and last truly interesting issue and even then it’s implied Daniel killed a bunch of men… for just catcalling…).   However if that was supposed to be a “Surprise” twist that the “consciousness” uploaded in the house from The Dreaming was Cain, I figured that out the first page it appeared.  Thank you for not trying to stretch out that “Surprise” reveal.  

From the get-go I think Simon has had a pretty loose idea of what Cain actually is, confusing his compulsion to kill Abel with a generic “Kill everything!”   Once you get the hang of his misunderstanding of what Cain is, it’s easy to spot Cain even when he’s a disembodied voice.   Oh, well.  Still better than Caitlin R. Kiernan deciding that Cain was a misogynist.   Weirdly though, she wrote him okay in the volume 2 version of The House of Mystery.  Just not the first version of The Dreaming.   

Cain’s not that hard of a character to figure out, guys.  He’s essentially The Crypt Keeper with an obsession with the concept of mystery, a love of his own spooky old house, and a fratricidal compulsion.  He’s not the Crazy Harry Muppet.   

Paul Dini figured him out well enough to use him accurately in the kids show Justice League: Action for the episode Trick or Threat.  But then again Paul Dini is a master.  Cain’s been so badly mishandled in two versions of The Dreaming that I’m starting to seriously pity the bastard.

No joke, I had a weird dream back in early March of 2018. I might have posted about it back then.  I’m just too lazy to try to find it.  In the dream an old man that I thought was Alexander Burgess was trying to set right a terrible wrong he had done to The Dreaming.   There was an elaborate pentacle on a floor.  Don’t you just love when your mind gives you half-assed spoilers?   Well, I was partly right…  Thanks for the spoilers, Dream King.   Too bad I misinterpreted who the bald old man was. 

Dora has found Hyperion Keter, the man behind this madness.  Apparently she, as a Night Hag, was feeding on him in his nightmares in the early 90s.  He confronted her, told her that she was not real, and it caused her to fall into an existential crisis where Morpheus found her and took pity on her.       

Hyperion (Who is essentially a Steve Jobs type) came up with a mad scheme to save humanity from it’s own fear, superstition, and cruelties in the name of religion by destroying all of that- our faith, our beliefs, our myths and legends and superstitions, through our very dreams.  He created an AI that doesn’t know what their true purpose is.  The AI wants to be good and benign but is designed to destroy belief.   Daniel came to Hyperion and showed him what his madness would do if successful so Hyperion decided to try to stop it but his own people turned against him.  Weak and dying from cancer, Hyperion was helpless.

Cain’s “essence” was uploaded into a…  Cloud server… And is now haunting the mansion where poor Hyperion lay dying and remorseful.   

Sixteen issues and this whole thing feels like it could have been told in three or four issues…  Ah, well.  At least it’s moving now…   And here I thought issue 16 would just be Lucien trying to kill himself.  I guess that’s issue 17?

I don’t know why I’m so bitter.  Maybe it’s because I know this could have been so much better.  It had such potential.  My subconscious gave me the loose version of the plot back in 2018.   I saw the good parts.

Anyway, for all my bitching this was probably the best issue since issue 7.   I liked issue 7, just not that weird part of Daniel apparently drowning those men for catcalling and Ivy “devastated” when Daniel had refused to be tattooed by her.  And this was before the occultists controlled her.  Here’s a little exercise. If it’s not okay for a man to do that to a woman, it’s also not okay for a woman to do that to a man.   Respect your lover’s autonomy and never try to guilt someone into body modification, no matter what your profession is.  No means no, bitch.

I AM amused, however, by the fact that the binding sigil- the geas tattoo holding poor Daniel is a cross between a Solomonic figure and a dream catcher.  You trapped Dream …with a Dream Catcher…

Anyway, for the first time since issue 7 we actually got answers.   There was actual plot progression.   And I actually give a damn about what’s going on.

Issue 16…  is actually a decent read.    Not bad.  Definitely a lot more satisfying than most of The Dreaming so far.

I still miss the Vertigo logo…

Now for the next concern…

So…  Who is ready for the (As of right now) “implied” death of Lucien next month?   If this happens there will be no salvaging this version of The Dreaming.  It’s just Caitlin R. Kiernan’s version in a new wrapper and changing which Dreaming character dies for a cheap knock-off of The Wake.

Please, let this implication be wrong…
