Chilling in Wind's Great Sea

Sky is having a calm morning with Aryl, telling her about Skyloft. Wind and Wild.... Quite the opposite.

Twi doesn't have light clothes, most of Wild's clothes are magical but one red shirt, fortunately it fits Twi even if it's tight. Twi didn't want to get in the water, Wind pushed him in, so now he has to ask a shirt (again)

Wild is immortalizing Twi's misery.

Legend as well refuses to go near the water. Wars decides to take care of it.

Now they know why Legend didn't want to go in the water. Four is starting to think that everyone in this group has a secret transformation. Wild asks the real questions. Legend is thinking to kill all three of them.

This are all fun quick sketch so they may not look the best (Four was fucking hard to draw) I have other ideas for the Chain's "Beach Episode" so maybe I will do more, maybe not. Depends on my inspiration.

The chain w/reader who has a food allergy

LU x GN Reader -- SFW -- Can be seen as platonic or romantic for all but Wind (and twilight + sky have stuff dependent on relationship with reader!)

Reader has a food allergy, and tells the respective links! i know theres no epipens or anything of that sort in loz, but lets just pretend theres smth similar and ofc most of the chain has never had to learn abt that, okok?

he doesn't really understand at first

you'd have to like.. explain that whatever youre allergic to could kill you/impact your health

he'd 100% reorganize his slate/pad (depending on which version of him youre tellin) so that any ingredients you're allergic to are on their own page

he'll also go around to every other link and figure out if anyone else is allergic to something so he knows

he's the cook, its his job!!

if he's ever made you something that has what youre allergic to in it, he feels really guilty about it. you never ate it (obviously) and he's never thanked someone for not eating his cooking before, but theres a first time for everything

he also makes it a point to tell you everything he puts in his food after that. he does NOT want to accidentally make you ill or, like, kill you.

when he learns what cross contamination is...

he's seen scrubbing everything he uses to cook like his life depends on it

yours does, which is close enough in his eyes

probably saw you avoiding it like no tomorrow and made a note of it.

he assumed you just disliked whatever it was, and always offered to take yours as a little 'i see you dont like that, ill take it and keep quiet about it' type thing

you assume he just straight up figured out that you're allergic, so you make an offhanded comment about being allergic and are surprised when he's surprised.

its an entire thing.

after he figures out you're actually just allergic, he's probably start suggesting alternatives/replacements for those specific ingredients to wild.

especially if its seasonings of some sort. he will start complaining about the seasonings in it like no tomorrow to get wild to stop using them

he'll make himself politely insufferable

ofc all of that would come AFTER he pushes you to tell the others, and only if you don't

if it's a part of dishes that's commonly a side (ie potatoes or smth) and youre too embarrassed to request without, he'll request his without and just switch with you.

he won't make a big deal out of it or anything, he'll just make it apparent he cares

okay, so youd bring it up expecting him not to care, or to act like he doesnt care

and like.. he has the whole grumpy guy thing going on, but he DOES care, and he isn't ashamed to admit it??

he asks how allergic you are, if you have any other allergies, what he might be able to do to help, etcetc

understands the most out of everyone why you might want to keep it a secret - weaknesses and all that

suddenly he hates every food with your allergy in it.

it confuses the hell out of the others - especially if its one of his favorites or something

legend will act like nothing has changed in that regard

if youre allergic to fish though he gets really unsure about some things because of the mermaid suit making him a merman

are you allergic to him now??

if he ever ends up in that form around you he'd probably panic like no tomorrow because of that specific allergy

he understands that its dangerous for you to consume this food item

but the danger of it doesn't fully process for him

if he knows something has something youre allergic to in it, and he happens to remember that youre allergic, he'll let you know

but otherwise? ehh.. yeah, he'll probably just tell wild and let him know not to make anything with that in it anymore.

ofc, if you guys are in a relationship, or he's starting to like you as a bit more than a friend, he'll put more effort into remembering these things

ESPECIALLY in a longer term relationship - that's when he'll end up cutting whatever it is youre allergic to out of his diet as well, that way he won't accidentally end up giving it to you without thinking about it

in that case scenario, if it's anything with meats, he may end up actually just putting rules for himself down - can only eat it here here and here, but not here here and here

if its strictly platonic though? yeah, he'll probably forget at least twice

honestly the most normal about it when it's platonic, bit out there when its romantic, but yk

he does NOT understand what the big deal is at first

honestly, you'll likely experience an allergic reaction before he panics himself and realizes what a big deal this is

even if its a minor/mild allergy he'll understand better once he SEES

i feel like skyloft has the same old, same old, and that there are probably very little hylians allergic to anything up there

they probably know what allergies ARE, but moreso in the theoretical sense

after he realizes that his half a lesson on what allergies are 100% downplayed it, he'll bombard you with questions

what *exactly* is it that youre allergic to? is it this part, this part, or the entire thing? how long before it starts affecting you?

similar to wild, he'll do his best to make sure there's no cross contamination

if you're keeping it a secret, he'll just start volunteering to wash the dishes, that way he knows it's done in a way that won't result in you getting hurt

if you ever go into anaphylactic shock, this guys is the second to start crying as soon as you're a-okay

he mother hens you like no tomorrow when you have an allergic reaction

almost completely at your beck and call

if u two are together, or in that pre relationship flirty stage, he'll lay on you and that'll be his way to make sure you're resting, even if you insist you don't need it.

he's used to having to make note of things like that and setting up accommodations

does not think twice abt it tbh

just nods, thanks you for telling him, and then makes sure wild knows not to make any food with that in it anymore

if something accidentally happens, he is calm and collected.

again, he's probably seen allergic reactions plenty of times, so he knows what to do

he might even go ahead and use you as a teaching opportunity for at LEAST hyrule, tbh

yk how after you use an epipen and your allergic reaction stops theres the really bad cotton mouth and sometimes you'll think it's still going on?

he'll have your mouth open to show hyrule youre a-okay and just need some water now whether you like it or not (if you tell him to back off, or smack his hand, he'll get the point though, don't worry)

again, he doesn't think much of it, and just stashes the information into he back of his mind for later use when needed

much like sky he has the theoretical knowledge of what allergies are, but no practical

unlike sky, and more like wild, he goes out of his way to try and eradicate it from even potentially touching you

lowkey probably scares him, because he's never helped take care of someone with an allergy, and he doesn't know if his healing powers would work on it or not

he'll be like sky (again) and ask you a ton of questions about it. that's a kind of reoccurring theme, dw

he'll feel a lot better about knowing how to help after the first time you have an allergic reaction around him (if ever)

it'll help even more if you stay calm, and if warriors is around to assist, since he kinda knows

after he has that knowledge stored away, he's much more relaxed about it

like.. he still mother hens the food situation to make sure there are none if your allergens in there

but he won't be as twitchy when you eat something at an inn theyre stopping at that doesn't list the ingredients under each item

makes a note of it and moves on, pretty much

its not that he doesnt care, he just...doesnt know what to do with the information

he's thankful you told him, but????

he doesn't really think it's his place to try and make sure youre safe and all that

youve lasted your entire life without someone sticking their nose in your food business

youve lasted allll the rest of your time with the chain just fine without intervention

if it works, why try and fix it?

honestly, the most he might do is tell you to let wild and hyrule know so that the respective cook and healer of the group are aware

if youve already told them he just kinda... moves on.

he won't ever mention it, won't go out of his way to protect you from... food.

of course, there are some slight.. shifts, sometimes, depending on which link that rests in his mind is controlling the most at the moment

vi? does not gaf. he trusts that you're able to take care of yourself

green? will probably give you a little look if you start choking or smth while you eat to make sure youre okay, he just won't bring attention to it unless he thinks something is wrong

red will side eye you when you guys are all eating. if you ask him why afterwards, he'll frown and say he was a bit worried because he was pretty sure the dish had (insert allergy here) but that he's glad youre okay

blue... blue will act like he doesn't gaf, much like vi, but he will definitely glare a little. if you end up asking him, he'll complain about how long it took for you to tell them

he is HYPED about this

not because it could hurt you though

just because he's never met someone with a food allergy, and he definitely has a seasonal allergy of some kind, so he's super excited to see how different they are

he was never really taught about allergies beyond the fact that his makes his eyes all itchy and nose runny

once you explain the differences, he's a bit surprised, that's for sure.

what do you MEAN this random food the rest of us can eat just fine might KILL you???

he's a bit flabbergasted

especially if you're allergic to shellfish or fish.

oh MAN he is so heartbroken about that if so - he'll totally end up approaching you seperately one day and asking if you'd still be safe to go on a boat ride with him and everyone else - he doesn't wanna put you in danger, after all!

he doesn't bother with a lot of worrying for you

he wholeheartedly trusts that you can take care of yourself just fine.

if hes the first person you told though, he WILL be holding that over everyone's head

he will stand by the idea of being your favorite bc of that until the end of time

if i missed anything pls lmk!! i wrote this in a fevered daze bc im actually so sick rn LOL pls feel free to request anything, if it makes me uncomfortable i just wont do it (least till i put up a boundaries type thing i suppose)

Flared Fins Mer AU Lore Dump

You can find the fic on tumblr and on AO3

Character Breakdowns:

Wind: 8 (Pup) - Tropical Mer

Adult coloring will be Orange with light blue splotches, like a koi fish’s pattern

Fun fact: He and Warriors are, in fact, very distantly related.

Hyrule: 13/14 (Juvenile) - Octopus Mer

Adult coloring: Green with golden freckles all over him

Fun fact: His healing magic is not as strong in this fic, or at least not as developed. Most of his magic

Wild: 15/16 (Juvenile) - Deepsea Mer - Adult coloring: Dark blue with teal lines. The markings on one of his arms are strangely more of a green color, for some reason

Fun facts: His fins are bioluminescent (and his markings as well, when he gets older.) He has giant fins that are good for threat displays but are very delicate. He’s a better fighter then Hyrule, but being in more fights leads to him having a lot of torn fins. Due to being a deepsea Mer, who would naturally have less opportunities to eat, he metabolizes his food well and doesn’t need to feed as often.

Four: 16 (Juvenile)  - Tropical Mer (Based off a beta fish)

Adult coloring: On one side is green fading to red on the fins, the other is blue fading to purple. As a juvenile, he only has the split green and blue

Fun fact: Four absorbed his twin in the egg, which is why his colors are split down the middle. He is the most territorial in the pod. When he and Wild get to know each other, they like to flare their fins at each other to show off and get rid of territorial aggression. Four bites

Legend: 19 (Almost an adult) - Tropical Mer (Based off a Sea bunny, which is a kind of sea slug)

Adult coloring: Light Pink with red markings

Fun facts: He is courting Ravio (A purple sea bunny.) His tail ring functions the same as his pegasus boots, which is why he could catch Hyrule

Sky: 21 (Adult) - Tropical Mer (Based off the flying fish)

Coloring: Red with silver fins and small yellow marks

Fun facts: He is courting Sun. He has a giant pet Grouper called Crimson. (Sky: Crimson is friend, not food!) Crimson is nine feet long and can pull him along faster than most mers can swim. (Groupers really can get that big. They probably aren’t really that fast though.)

Twilight: 23-25 (Adult) - Tropical/Freshwater hybrid

Coloring: Dark green with gray underbelly and thick black marks

Fun fact: His colors are so much duller because of his freshwater ancestry. He can survive in freshwater for a lot longer than others can. Sometimes goes and hunts in nearby rivers. He has an orca tooth necklace that can turn him into an orca. Yes, the Orca is called “Orcie.”

Warriors: 25-27 (Adult) - Tropical Mer

Coloring: Royal blue with orange marks on the ends of his fins. HE has a kind of iridescence to his scales that most Mer consider very pretty

Fun fact: Warriors has a twin, Linkle, who is currently very lost, wandering around in deep sea Mer territory.

Time: Very old (Adult) - Tropical Mer

Coloring: White/silver with thin red and blue line markings

Fun fact: He is mates with Malon, who is a deepsea Mer. Malon prefers to live in the deep, but they visit each other often. Yes, it is weird that a deepsea Mer would take a permanent mate but Malon does what she wants. She thinks it’s very funny that her husband adopted so many kids, and dots on them when she visits.

Worldbuilding:

Very young Mer are called fry. They are a lot more competent than human babies, being able to swim right after hatching, but during the first year of their life, they run mainly on their fish instincts. Fry are not considered super valuable to Mer, because Mer may have up to 20 fry from one clutch of eggs. Very few of survive the fry stage. Often a pod will choose the best looking/biggest fry and focus their energy on them, leaving the others to fend for themselves. (They won’t be chased away or killed, and if one does make it to puphood by themselves, all the better. But smaller pods can’t afford to feed 20 new mouths at once when all of them won’t survive.)

Those that reach a year old are called pups, at which point they shake off the more intense instincts, and become a little more reliant on their guardians. At 12-14 years old, they become juveniles. They have a huge growth spurt, and they turn from their dull pup colors to their main adult colors. Pup colors are usually either neutrals (other than white) or a very desaturated version of their adult colors. They are considered adults at around 20, around which time they gain their makings. They stop aging at around 30 years old, but keep getting bigger.

Tropical Mer stay in their birth pods unless they get a mate and decide to go to their mate’s pod, or decide to try to start their own pods. There are exceptions though, where juveniles/new adults will leave their pod because they don't fit in well.

Mer “Species” are more vague categories. There are tropical, deepsea, fresh water, octopus, etc. Most of them can still interbreed with only a little difficulty, (as long as they can get over their different social practices) so they’re not really distinct species. (Thought sometimes interbreeding can be difficult to achieve, and sometimes those children turn out sterile, like Mules are)

Tropical Mer are territorial, but they do still interact with neighboring Pods and trade at designated market areas. They aren’t isolated. Deepsea Mer are solitary, and Octopus Mer are solitary/only share territory with mates. If you are part of a social species but do not have a pod, you are considered a loner.

For one reason or another, Time ended up taking each of the boys under his fin, so to speak. Four was abandoned by his birth Pod because of his strange colors when he became a juvenile. Twilight went exploring up a river where his Tropical Mer mother could not follow, and couldn’t find her again when he came back. Sky fell asleep as a pup and got left behind when his pod moved on. Due to being twins, Warriors and Linkle were small coming out of the egg, and their pods decided to focus more on their other fry. Warriors never really integrated himself into the pod after that and left early. Things like that.

Mer can’t breathe air. A typical adult Mer can hold their breath comfortably for about 30 minutes though, so they still like to sunbathe on beaches if they can. They have gills on their neck and sides of their chest. Water flows into the neck gills and out the chest gills. The mouth is just for vocalizations and eating. As long as their necks are in the water, they can stick their heads out of the water as long as they want. They have bad eyesight above the waves.

Mer have their own language that needs to be taught to children, but they also have more internal vocalization that does not need to be taught. These vocalizations can get across more specific messages than just emotions, but the meanings aren’t as advanced as language. If you spend a lot of time around a Mer, you will be able to pick up on some of their vocalizations’ more subtle meanings, like discerning “hello” from “good morning/evening/etc.”

Mer are mostly carnivores, and they obviously do not cook their food. They do not scavenge unless they are desperate, preferring to hunt for themselves. Sometimes they eat plants like kelp for variety, but that’s not essential. Mollusk type shellfish (Clams, oysters, ect) are good snacks but aren’t really filling. 

Mer that are social sleep cuddled together and all intertwined, to keep themselves from drifting apart while they're asleep. (Less of a fear when sleeping in a cave, but in the open ocean? Many pods have been permanently split on accident because of currents moving them three miles apart in the night)

Hylians exist in this au and they know that Mer exist, but they don't interact much. There’s a language barrier, and Hylians can’t make the right sounds for Mer language and vice versa. There have been exceptions, where one species’ sign language is taught to a member of the other, but this isn’t common. Hylians are at the same level of development as in the LOZ games. They do not have modern science, etc

New Gallery Header for DeviantArt

But yeah, in preparation of moving my original stuff to a different DA gallery down the road, I wanted to create a header for my OG gallery that would remain for fanart (and the occasional original design that doesn't belong to any actual story). I eventually landed on this composition of various franchises and I'm actually really really happy with how this turned out!

Sure, some franchises might only have a couple of entries in my gallery, but I wanted to emphasize my widespreaded interests, and that this is indeed a fanart gallery, with some AU/headcanon/original design thrown in the mix occasionally.

Yall ever heard of the flying fish? Well you have now.

And War's tail was inspired by the betta fish

[fili-oeuvre]

deep sea mer being like sperm whales in that they dive down into the depths of the deep seas and hunt colossal squids. them having scars from the many underwater battles they’ve had with the squids and the other creatures of the deep.

them also being a huge as sperm whales compared to their surface/shallow water counterparts (surface mer). them sleeping vertically like sperm whales.

deep sea mer communicating with each other by humming and singing like whales.

What's your top 3 favorite LU/LoZ fics?

Ooh this is a hard one, there are too many good fics so im just gonna... post the link to my collection of favorites

But to answer my top 3?

Special mentions to While you still can in 5th place, about Time and travelling back in time to save the others (has a prequel fic you should probably read first) had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, stayed up late at night to binge it, and Every other star in 4th, a medieval au, was really fun to read along with every day and the relationship between Legend, Hyrule and Warriors as a trio was so good, especially near the end. This is tied with these two authors' other fic the wondrous sword of legend which is just. So. Good. (Legend is hyrule's sword spirit, a lot happens)

3. Their Melody

Still ongoing, it is really cool! Legend and Marin had a baby called Melody who stayed with him once he woke the windfish. Going through everybodies nightmares is so cool, and i cant wait for Warrior's one next!

2. Scales, Wings, and Mythical things

Read this one recently, and it's fun! Most of the boys are transformed into their tranformations and try to rescue the others from a wagon of people who collect mystical creatures (featuring Merleg!! Best part) It's really fun and still ongoing.

1. What Hyrule hadn't seen

This one is good, it's one of the first fics i've read since joining this fandom and it's really intresting. Written so well that i felt like i was also experiencing being blind for the first time with Legend. Didn't know what i was going into at first but it was a really great read about acceptance

Don't mind me, just saw the opportunity to ramble about fics i like and...

MERMAID WARS >:D

Beta V H2o au:

Time // Twilight // Sky // Hyrule // legend // wild // wind // four

[not-freyja]

His palm is burning sharp and paralyzing, but he tightens his grip and thrusts - the darkness presses down, swirling red and choking malice filling the air, his lungs, and - everything is gold, is glowing, a light so burning he should close his eyes…  Four is screaming, screaming like he’s dying, but he can’t see him, everything is gold -

“Sky?”

Fi glows blue and comforting - a man in red raises a knife -

“Sky, wake up.”

They’re falling, they’re all falling, the air rushes past, but it’s so dark he can’t see - Legend kneels before him on a stone floor, eyes empty as he laughs like a madman -

“Sky!”
