I wanted to thank @zarvasace for putting together such a lovely discord server. For a long while of being here I've felt very lonely and the fandom felt very quiet, I was always terrified to post my content on certain accountabilities and how I can't exactly handle toxicity very well when it comes to backlash or hate on pieces of work. But when Mina made the discord server I decided to take my chances and I don't regret it. There are so many lovely people even people who are in the fandom that I've never discovered before and we all work together to make a lovely place to interact and chatter about four swords (and its ships.) I've even become more confident in posting my drawings and my fanfictions and haven't had as much anxiety or worry about it! Having almost daily sprints (while I don't often participate) has also motivated me to start writing more often as compared to how much I used to! It truly has done something Great I think for the lot of us! <3 A warm thank you from:

July LU Write-a-Thon: 351,092 Words in One Day!

On July 1, we hosted our second monthly LU Write-a-thon (organized by @not-freyja and @hotcheetohatredwastaken and joined by their new mods @noorahqar, @a-manicured-lawn, and @winterfen). The purpose of this event was to write as many productive words—words that furthered yourself, the LU writing community at large, or your own stories—within 24 hours as humanly possible. 

We had a whopping 90+ participants as opposed to our previous 16 - none of us expected such a large turnout, and were suitably unprepared 😅 We’ll definitely be making a lot of changes to accommodate that many people during the next Write-a-Thon, occurring August 1st. Thank you all for your patience!

But, until next month, here’s the awards and titles earned by each participant, as voted upon by the Discord server through an anonymous survey. The mods read through all your hundreds of submissions (thank you guys so much!) and picked either the highest voted title or the funniest custom submission for each person, as we found appropriate. First up is the winner’s circle, then the clubs, and then everybody else in alphabetical order right below this readmore!

The Winner’s Circle (5 Most Wordiest)

20,037 “Writer of All Time” and “Most Likely to Make 1K become 100K” (As can be seen in all its glory in your Aspects AU) @tashacee: You took advantage of Freyja and Cheeto’s beefing about who would be first and snapped up the win right from under their noses. Well played! 

20,011 “Writer of Some of the Time” and “Pen and Paper (Scritch... Scratchy?)” @hotcheetohatredwastaken: Missed the mark by juuust a bit, for the second time in a row. Cheeto, you suck. (:3 –Cheeto) (Qar wrote this, for reference!). Also wrote for most of the marathon on pen and paper!

17,491 “Writer of Last Time” (for winning last month and then failing to defend their title) and “The FourShadow-er of all Time” (for the unholy amount of Chekov’s Guns they leave lying around loaded in their docs) @not-freyja: you are the most autistic about Legend. Nerd.

13,203 “Will Make You Cry” and “Captain of the Twilight Angst Tag on Ao3” @somer-writes: Boosting the Twilight economy, and we’re all happy about it. Also the second-funniest person in the server, with the second-most stars!

13,000 “AU Collector” and “Four Enjoyer” @zarvasace: Whether they're heroes with disabilities, space rangers, or vampires, if Mina wrote it, the boys will be written well.

Clubs

Now while everyone’s accomplishments as individuals were nothing to sneeze at, teamwork does in fact make the dream work. A few lovely people made a couple of equally lovely groups, either by their own choice or as assigned by peer review.

Aimed for the Funny Numbers Club

“Literally Satan” @allwayswildchild: with exactly 6666 words, you deserve every bit of this cursed title. 

“Lawn Blart Mall Cop” and “Qar's Mom in a Moment of Weakness Apparently (And Then Qar’s Sister in a Moment of Un-Weakness)” @a-manicured-lawn: The latter explains itself. Apparently, the vision of Lawn segwaying around is amusing. [Some people just can’t appreciate the beauty of a white shirt, tie, and glorious moped… ~Lawn]

“The Reincarnated” @defenestration13: Hadn't written in six months but then reappeared to write multiple thousand words. Good job.

“Multimedia Powerhouse” @passerinesoncaffeine: The art, the writing, Raven's got it all! Painting, analyzing music, commenting, whatever you touch it turns to gold.

“Dark Miette” goes to @rebornofstars: An inside joke that I don’t understand. Also thought you should know that you got [insert bee pun].

“The Memer” and “Literally Wind” @savimatteo2810: These are related.

“The Quoter” @whatvioletdoes-blog: For spending the event harvesting quotable quotes for their chat-fic.

(freyja overshot all potential funny numbers, but is a member at heart)

Most Likely to Get Fangirled (Gender Neutral) Over Club

“Literally Hyrule” @across-violet-skies: Also called the Spunky Sidekick and a calming jasmine tea type person. Hopefully your ghost pepper recovery goes well. 

“The Snippeter” @imperialkatwala: For sharing so many snippets to us hungry folk. Thank you kindly.

“Friend Shaped” @polynomialpandemic: A friend to all. Also a “Snippeter” - thank you for feeding the masses!

“Four Tormentor” @undertheopensky: For really obvious reasons. Also managed to make Freyja scream for 10 minutes with your mere presence alone!

Other Friend Groups

“Sad Wet Cat Club” @cinis0 and @lunaopus, you two seem to have nominated one another, so you get this club all to yourselves! However, I would love to know what the talk of forgetting that the Queen died was about…. (Qar has requested to be an honorary member of this club)

@awildsilver and @four-eyed-nerd, you two get to come together as “Four-Eyed-Nerd’s Rat” and “AWildSilver’s Cat,” which is I think our favorite group of all in this month’s running. I do have some additional questions for you two, however, about a mention of the bee movie as an original work (allowed as long as it’s not copy pasted and also hilarious) for you Wild and the title “Honey I shrunk the Links” for you, Four. 

The Community Support Team

“The Commentator of All Time” @1-renegade: To directly quote, “Ain't NOBODY give better feedback and comments than lawlessland.” 

“Will Make You Cry” @artsyanonymity: Anonymity is the sweetest and kindest commenter in existence! SHE. WILL. MAKE. YOU. CRy. Writes the nicest comments and they make me (and apparently several others) cry

“The Encouragement Itself” @cat-at-a-writing-desk: For encouraging others to reach their goals. We appreciate you!

“Drill Sergeant” @gintrinsic-writing: Made Qar get 5k and scared everyone else into writing. (You did it! I got 5k! The fear (with funny intonation) dragged me over the finish line -Qar)

“Drawer of A Thousand Words” @la-sera: Ruler of the Legend and Hyrule brotherhood, inspirer of writers, and the spreader of so much love with your art this Fan Joy July with the art you spent the marathon working on. Can’t wait to see it all as the month goes on.

“The Reader of all Time” @life-in-winter: Or as you all probably know her, passerine44, the writer of the best ao3 comments of all time. Thea, you walk into a digital room and every writer there makes heart eyes at you. Cannot wait to read the writing you’ve been working on (and leave a comment) to return the favor.

“The Respondent of All Time” @silvrash-797: Silvrash had over four months of unanswered ao3 comments that she caught up with, congrats!

“Lives up to the Screen Name” @sunny-porridge: To quote: “Sunny is 100% a ray of sunshine and anyone who says otherwise can FIGHT ME” and I think we all agree.

“The Wildest Supporter.” @twilightangel83: Supported people and sent a lot of Wild emojis, so much so that we started picturing you as Wild!

“Poet” and “Master of the Shrimp Check” @winterfen: Writes good poetry, and also made sure that everyone was appropriately fed, hydrated, and rested for this event. 

Transfer Students

“I don’t work here, Lady” goes to bArk who neither has a tumblr nor writes for this fandom, but showed up and had fun anyways. Thanks for joining us!

“He Who Finished His Book” goes to jr_for_potus44 (not on Tumblr). Congrats!

“Split Screen” goes to @straight-outta-hobbiton for writing two fics on two screens at the same time, neither of which were LU. Frightening.

The Silent Ones

@pelicanpig, @mmelete, @wayfayrr, @raeofsky, @summaryscar @sunkissedkales: You guys came, you wrote, you did not elaborate. How mysterious your aura is (positive, deeply positive.)

"The Almost Silent One" @the-au-collector: Talked before and after, but not during the event. Probably too busy writing, or busy in general - good job either way!

Everybody else!

“Frequent Flier (WPM)” @anime-obsessed: For participating in so many sprints. Also earned “vocaloid enjoyer.”

“Keyboard Warrior” @august-the-friend: You fought autocorrect and lost 3-0, but it was a valiant fight nonetheless. You did great.

“Artist turned Writer” @aurora-boreas-borealis: Took a break from streaming to write—a huge shout out for all your hard work and your help with colors! (~the actual pigments, not the Links ~Lawn) 

“Literally Sun” @beesandhoney1219: Warmer than sunlight, sweeter than sugar, and absolutely obsessed with Sky’s girlfriend.

“Most Likely to Include Raccoons in their Fic” @bittirsweeteer: They Who Has Given Legend Espresso (thank you for your service).

“Last Minute Vidow” @deleetrix: Something that should always be encouraged. Thank you for feeding us.

“Stargiver” @emberlylion: For starring in a lot of posts, especially cat pics. Thank you for your service.

Move over Time, @estelian-01 “Will Fight Majora and Win” and then go back to studying.

“Studious Student Who (has not) Studied” @gerudoevernight: Self nominated for “Studious Student who Studied” for hitting their goal while in school. The mod team disagreed with the accuracy of that title and affectionately chose this one instead. Good job hitting your goal!

“The Outliner” @gia-d: Accidentally wrote a first draft. Also think it should be noted that everyone is convinced you either could kill a god or that you carry one around in your pocket.

“Onomatopoeia Outrage” @haloburns: Who debated the word “ow” so hard they inflicted it on the people around them.

“The Scholar” @irenkaferalkitty: For her extensive collection of well-researched data, presented in charts, documents and yes, excel sheets. We appreciate you.

“Most Improved” @labyrinthdancer: Their writing has improved a lot since they started posting! also they write really dark twilight & the chain fics. Being a new writer is scary, but they kept at it and are doing so well!

“Writer of Most Cursed Victorian Child” aka their take on Ravio, is @lele5429 with their first ever fic, which is as gorgeous in words as your art is in ink.

“The Hype Man (gender neutral)/Moral Support” @lemoncatssss: For all the encouragement that you gave others. Also the cat photos. Especially the cat photos.

“The accidental friend acquirer” @lennsart: For somehow befriending literally every single person you talk to.

“Severe Case of Clacking” @lerikwrites: You know why. Pennies in a washing machine my friend.

“Hyrule Hurter” goes to @linkiscool333: We all have the blorbo we love to put in the blender, but no one blends Rulie like you do.

“Marcus Actually Writes!?” @marcusdoodlesalot: For a second month in a row, some of us are still befuddled that Marcus is actually a writer, and not just an artist. Hard to believe that someone can have that much talent in both fields.

“Soup Soup Soup Soup Soup (Soup Soup Soup Soup Soup)” @marsnoodlesoup: I... do not know what this means. Congrats, it seems you’re soup.

“The Veteran” @musical-chan: For sharing stories of the early days of fandom. Back in my day but the most positive way possible

“Artist Turned Writer” @mysticstars105: Came out and wrote a whopping 400 words, which is so many words especially when you’re new. Gold Star!

“Art Fight Pre-Gaming” @nebulapaws: For their talk of Art Fight. Hope you have fun participating this month!

“Resident Audiophile” @needfantasticstories: Not just for writing with speech-to-text all day, but for your constant enthusiastic screaming about Epic the musical.

“Most likely to fight God and Win” and “The Modderrrrrr” @noorahqar: Who is actually Sky. Not with the sleepy part though. She actually wrote so much about Sky that he stole all her sleepy. Number one on the starboard, with the proud title of MVM (Most Valuable Mod) for sticking the landing as midnight hit. Also the one with “The Most Sigmas to Grindset” whatever… whatever that means. (Please help what does that mean?) 

“Picture Perfect Exhaustion” @nyastri: Their PFP (Four Doubled Over, hands on knees) combined with the announcement they'd reached their writing goal at the end of the marathon really just sold the picture for me. Well done.

“The Sleepy One” @ocha-blue: who justifiably went to bed as soon as they finished. (Hope you're recovered by now.)

“First Time Fic Writer” @peepthatbish: for breaking into the fic scene and boosting morale for our mod team, especially Lawn. We appreciate you!

“Slow And Steady (WPM)” @pokegeek151: Who was chugging away all day long.

“Doomed by the Narrative” @ra-archives: Google docs acting up, cat sitting on lap, and yet you persisted. Good job.

“My Little Friend Who I Love (This Is Qar Btw) (This Is Part Of The Title)” and “Wordsmith” @rosehipandroots: This is a direct copy paste from your submissions, Rose. Hope you enjoy it. But your amazing descriptions really make you a wordsmith. “The SkyBoy Enjoyer of All Time” @sapphicseasapphire: for your lovely art and writing of the boy!

“Task Succeeded Successfully” @screaming-but-i-have-four-swords: was an artist turned writer that tried to write words, and did! Good job.

“Artist Turned… More Artist” @seaotter-17: We were told you write descriptions like a poet, but in this event, you were most recognizable by your drawings of Nina the cat. Thank you for sharing. 

The “Person with a Passion for Pudding” (which is definitely an inside joke I do not understand, so I hope it makes you laugh) @somanyfanficssolittletime: Thanks for participating!

“The Fic Reccer of all Time” @staring-at-a-blank-page: For recommending so many fics, their own and others, up to read. Thank you!

“The Drabbler” @tenderleavesbob: For their lovely drabbles, of which they wrote around 10k of. The title is appropriate - it seems your drabbles have taken Tumblr (and the participants in this survey) by storm!

“100% Bunny Accurate Fiction”  @toyouhellohowareyou: writer of the most rabbit-fact-checked fics of all time by our own Bunny Lord [Beloved Pet and Bunny Boy (Legend) Himself]

“The Podficcer of All Time” @unexpectedstormy: For podfic making, promoting, and educating. And if that wasn’t enough fae is also our very own “Dragon Tamer” who spent the event working on their HTTYD WIP!

“The Dashshunder” @vivalaplutothedachshund: For sharing your lovely menace of a dog Pluto with us all. We also appreciate you both in the chats and in our rampage to give PolynomialPandemic 109 hugs. 

“Mod Emotional Support. We love you” @wanderlustmagician: You know what you did, and Cheeto’s firstborn deservedly belongs to you.

“Word Weaver” and “Fanfiction Foul---was writing at work instead of working” @weavingstarlight: Your words sparkle as bright as you do, glitter jar.

“Literally First (also shared cat pics)” @witchdoctor39 : Even Hylia can’t hold a candle to how much you love that poor poor man!

Thank all of you for participating, we appreciate each and every one of you so so so much! Please note that we had 90+ participants, and as such, there is probably guaranteed to be some mistakes on the list above. If you find any typos or pronoun goofs or anyone that was put on the list twice or missing or under the wrong name or put under the wrong name or any error that comes with having different discord and tumblr names or if you were left off the list in error or if you want to request a different name than the one you received or you want to be put into or removed from one club or another or anything else that could have gone wrong—please feel free to contact @hotcheetohatredwastaken or @not-freyja with your concerns here on tumblr!

Again, a big thank you to everyone for coming to the event from all of us on the mod team! Can’t wait to see you guys next month! And stay tuned---there will be another post with more information about the next event within the next couple of weeks!

IT HAS ARRIVED

To celebrate the anniversary of Tears of the Kingdom's release, and to revisit Hyrule, we have put together a FREE 127-page cookbook zine for fans to enjoy. Link to downloadable PDF at the bottom.

About the Zine

The goal of this zine has been to imagine and capture snapshots of Link and Zelda’s internal and external journey between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. One of the central mechanics in both games is cooking; you cook to stay alive, you cook to improve your abilities, and you cook to forge relationships with other characters through side quests. We wanted to centre this mechanism, so decided to frame the zine as Link and Zelda’s joint travel journal.

In these pages you will therefore find a collection of short stories, small illustrations, and numerous recipes. Our team has been hard at work, collaborating and developing ideas to flesh out Link and Zelda’s journey.

Each short story is written from either Link or Zelda’s perspective. They are part narrative, part journaled notes. You will find that they have been given each their font to represent their writings. Zelda’s is the more refined one, while Link’s is the more sprawling one. I’m sure you will see the difference.

You will also find small notes and letters from other characters – notably Tulin, Teba, Riju, and Kilton – as well as an excerpt from the Lucky Clover Gazette.

The recipes themselves have been fashioned as though they were written by Link and Zelda. This does mean their fonts have been used, but we hope any difficulty in reading it is forgiven on the basis that the overall conceit of the zine is preserved. Should there be a great demand, we may look into creating a second edition using friendlier fonts.

As for the illustrations, these have been created both with the goal of illustrating the dishes – and processes where necessary – and to imply that Link and Zelda also illustrate their journeys.

All our artists, short story writers, and recipe writers have come into this zine with different skills and abilities. There may therefore be subtle differences in styles, which we have chosen to retain to exhibit each contributor’s personal flair.

Finally, I want to thank those who have contributed their time and skills to the creation of this zine: Alex, Cenza, Deldon, Mina, Rose, Sam, Scarlet, Terek, and Mr Theodore. It’s been a pleasure working with you all on this project, and I look forward to the next time our paths cross.

Thank you.

Happy cooking!

My kindergartener had an e-learning day today, and since she finished all her work for it last night before bed, we had the day to ourselves. We took a couple hours this afternoon while little brother was sleeping to make Wind's cookies from @zarvasace's Linked Nexus fic Cookies!

Mina said it made a lot of cookies and she wasn't kidding! We halved the recipe and still ended up with nearly four dozen bite-sized cookies!

We used it as a bit of a hands-on science experiment, too. We separated the dough into six sections, then had fun rolling it out and making different types of cookies:

1. Plain

2. Plain but dipped in lemon powdered sugar icing

3. Rainbow sprinkles mixed in

4. Mini chocolate chips mixed in, then dipped in dark chocolate frosting

5. Rolled in powdered sugar

6. Rolled in cocoa powder then dipped in chocolate icing

Absolutely delicious, minorly addicting, and a definite win!

If only I could eat you, My Dear.

A Birthday Poem for Mina. Happy Birthday @zarvasace and enjoy some vampire Vidow!

A chilly night, Stars sparkling like gemstones As the blankets wrapped around them Keep the shivers away.

A sleeping hero and a hungry shadow Cuddling as the night grows long. Heart pumping and blood rushing The sound of life cascading around him.

His fingers draw patterns along his Love’s face and neck. Pressing along veins to truly feel the rushing blood. Beautiful and entrancing, Capturing his every thought with its sanguine beauty.

Oh, the thought of Vio’s blood splashing from a bite Or dripping from a cut. The warmth like a hot cocoa on a bitterly cold day Or The delicious thickness of a stew.

If only he could feed on Vio every day But he loves the Violet Hero So he won’t. Won’t stop him from creating a feast in his mind.

The sweetness of his blood paired with pancakes for breakfast. The richness of his blood in a soup. Drizzling his blood as a decadent sauce for meats. The delicacy of foods created by his ichor, Shining ruby red as his mouth waters..

It would be sublime. The best meal of his life. And as much as he craves it His fangs sharp and aching for it;

He Will Not.

He’d rather have Vio in his life than His blood on his tongue.

HIs witty remarks, And curiosity for the world. The light in his eyes when he finds something new. It calms him in a way nothing else can.

His Sun in a world where any other light would burn … But damn would he taste good.

Let the Soft Animal of Your Body Loathe What it Loathes

(AKA: Urban Fantasy Cozy Mystery Creature Cafe AU)

(AKA: Remlit Vio AU)

Happy holidays! This fic is my entry to the Four Swords 2023 Gift Exchange, for known Remlit Vio enjoyer @kaenith. The concept has been living rent-free in my head for months, and this is what I have to show for it. There are totally no dragons in this story, though. Must have just slipped my mind.

Rated G | Vidow-centric, but everyone's here | 20,964 words (I know. I know. Please take your time with this, nobody should feel obligated to read it all at once.)

The remlit floats mid-air behind the bar, his large ears keeping him aloft. He scowls harder than Shadow has ever seen before, and growls menacingly. “Mister Cranky, no!” Shadow exclaims, eyes wide with horror. “Oh, for the love of—my name is Vio!”

(also thank you to mina @zarvasace for organizing this event!)

18,19,20

ALRIGHT HERE WE GO :D

18: Give three author recommendations

@zarvasace created the Disability AU, which is one of my favorite things of all time. Also everything Mina writes is incredible

I also really like aquaticflames on AO3. I don't know if they have a tumblr. They aren't super active rn but their old LU fics are excellent

19: Give 5 fic recommendations

EASY

I've been following along with I went where the crow flies on AO3 and it's incredible!!! It's a Wild meets the chain fic, but Wild got out of the shrine 5 years too early. It's incredible and so fun to follow along with

Fanboy by cereme on AO3 is an incredible fic. It's Time-centric and also has a lot of good Time & Four stuff. I love it

My Heart's Forsaken Me by @sister-dear is one of my all time favorite Time fics. I love it a looooooot. Time picks up Four's sword and is split into different timeline versions

Heart of Gold by @zartophski is soooooooo good. It's a Time and Malon fluff fic, which is one my favorite things

Operation: Sunny Skies also by @zartophski is such a fun read! The chain helps Sky with a VERY big event :D

20: Recommend 5 of my own fics

AUTHENTICITY!! It's my favorite thing I've written. It's an autistic Wild AU and it's primarily hurt/comfort and fluff. It's quite fun :D

I just posted Delirium yesterday and I was blown away by the response. I was proud of it so I'm glad the internet liked it too! It's a Sky and Wild centric, Wild whump fic with some comfort at the end.

Sentiment is one of my favorite things I've written. Time and Warriors get into an argument but then get to hug bc neither of them know how to deal with feelings very well

Euphoria is another good one! I made everyone trans

I'll also go with my fic that got the smallest response on AO3. It's Obligatory Winter Episode based on fanart by dfanart and it's very cute and sweet.

Part 7/7, took me a few days but we got there. :) image descriptions under the cut!

<<previous || first

Page One

Panel one: Shadow wakes up with a start in the real world. Four’s eyes are squeezed closed, and he says in small letters: “mmm…”

Panel two: The bottom of the bed, this time with only Twilight visible. Twilight is smiling and says, “You’re back! What happened? Is everything okay?” From off screen, various people say: “He’s up?” “Both of ‘em!” “Oh, good!” “Come in! They’re up!”

Panel three: Shadow and Four from the front. Shadow is up and smiling, Four still has his eyes closed and looks vaguely miserable. Shadow says, “Everything is great, actually. We beat up the guy. Inside his head…” Four interrupts with “owww” and Shadow continues. “Hm yeah, that tracks. Sorry, Link.” Four says, “‘s okay…”

Panel four: The bottom of the bed, this time with Warriors, Legend, and Twilight, all smiling. Warriors says, “You ARE Four, right? Just checking.” Twilight says, “Glad it worked.”

Page Two

Panel one: Four has crawled out of Shadow’s arms and sits next to him on the bed. He has one eye open and says, “Yeah, it’s me. The town is OK, right?” Shadow sits next to him, arms around his knees, smiling and tilting his head.

Panel two: Bottom of the bed. Legend says, “Not on fire anymore. But… where did the guy go? We don’t want him to cause trouble.”

Panel three: Shadow leans over the side of the bed, toward the light from the window, and points, with Four looking over his shoulder. There is a small mass of red Malice stuff falling off the bed. Shadow says, “Oh, look. There he is.”

Panel four: The small mass of red Malice stuff slithers away, with Yntak’s Yiga mask poking out of it, right toward a white beam of sunlight. Yntak says, “he he he… I got away…”

Page Three

Panel one: The small mass of Malice and Yntak’s mask have reached the sunlight. Yntak’s mask’s eye looks surprised, and he says “huh? No! I’m melting!!”

Panel two: Shadow and Four watch, still leaning over the side. A little red-outlined speech bubble says “noooooooooo~”

Panel three: Shadow and Four in the same pose. Four says, “welp.” Shadow says, “that’s exciting.”

Panel four: Shadow and Four turned toward each other, both with smiles so big their eyes are closed. There are stylistic white highlights around them, and Four says, “welcome back.”

At the bottom of the page on the right are the words “the end~”

At the bottom of the page on the left are the words “Mina @ zarvasace 2024”
