#modern sidlink

[kenneduck]

Doodle of my Hylian Sidon in a modern au w/ Link hehe...

Sidon is a lifeguard and Link is a skater boy, and they both are pining for each other as the pool and skate park are beside one another... causing plenty of glances in each others way. Except they suck at talking.

Once more turning my thoughts into a post, copy pasted directly from chat

I just thought of a horrible terrible wonderful idea

Heavily inspired by watching a Tears of the Kingdom playthrough

But

Lan Xichen being into Open World video games (because escapsim)

And especially Breath of the Wild because he identifies hard with Zelda (un-favouritism strikes yet again)

Lán Wàngjī learns the Guardian theme and plays it at inopportune times to absolutely terrorize his brother

Like he starts playing it while his brother is having tea and Xīchén full on panics and damn near drops his drink because aaaaaah

Sidenote: he interprets himself as Zelda and his brother as Link because oh wow repressed and (selectively) mute swordsman with great expectations on his shoulders? That's my baby brother alright

So he's definitely not zelink shipper

Lmao, he'd probably be a sidlink shipper because of how smiley and cheery Sidon is

Captain Lán Xīchén of the Wangxian

Also he makes Link do absolutely hogwild shxt

Defeating enemies by blowing shxt up? First ideas on the roster

Listen he is in some ways living vicariously through Link, and some ways letting his little brother do crazy with no consequences

A pause. And then more ideas:

THE FIRST TIME WÀNGJĪ PLAYED THE PIANO OF DOOM WASN'T EVEN TO BE A MENACE HE JUST LIKED IT

Lán Xīchén got comfortable playing around his brother when he was sure Wàngjī wouldn't rat him out

And he heard the piano a few times while Xīchén had his headphones out

(Xīchén's main strat during that time was just to run away really fast because he hadn't worked his way up to all-out combat yet)

But Wàngjī liked the fast pace music and looked it up

Then learned to play it

Then

Once

While Xīchén was studying, he tried practicing

Oh boy

Xīchén dropped everything and did a full-on sprint

Mans did the dash and left

Nearly ducked out the whole house before realizing what happened 

And that is why Lán Wàngjī became a menace

And also why Xīchén began teasing him about WWX in turn

Hi everyone, just letting you know that I have a new sideblog called @wordweavingpotat and it is my writing blog!

I will be posting poems, writeblr stuff, and most importantly, updates on the fics I'm writing!!! So even if you're not in that fandom, I'd love it if you had a look and helped me get my posts out there!

I'm currently working on a Sidlink fic (Sidon X Link, from TOTK and BOTW). It's a modern highschool AU but it's still set in Hyrule. It's quite descriptive so I would bet that you could still read it even if you don't know what I'm talking about right now.

I will also post works with my OCs, and I have written about them before, so maybe I will share that.

I would LOVE writing advice, feedback and tips. Send me some constructive criticism. Sometimes I think it's better to get that than just "its perfect!!" because writing often isn't and I don't want to stay at the same level for ever.

But yeah, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do check in on it once in a while! Thank you so much!

So uh

Gonna write my first ever loz fic

It's gonna be a botw/totk modern day + human au

And uh

As I've started planning it out, I've come to realize that it's a whole Link/Harem fic

And I'm actually

Very excited for it

I've never written something like this

But going off the whole everybody's in love with Link thing

And Link sleeps around a lot (but like in a cute way)

But the actual endgame is Sidlink because that's where the story started

But also low-key trying to stop myself from making it Sidlink + Revalink because I was never really a Link/Revali shipper until I made them best friends in this fic and now I can't get enough of their dynamic akahaka

Might do a completely different fic that's Link/Revali or just an alternate version of my own fic that's got a Link/Revali endgame, idk 💀💀

Ahhhhh MarquesGillette: A Real Hole in the Wall. This author has some really good SidLink stuff, and GanLink. I really like the Blood Moon Rising fic which features Sidon as a more monstrous creature, who constantly gets Hylian orphans sacrifices thrown into his lake every blood moon. But plot twist, there's more to him than just being the evil creature of the lake.

MY MAN!!!

Always happy to see someone in the know about the more cultured sides of fandom.

I think my absolute favorite of their fics was Lost Treasure in Gerudo Town. Really enjoyed how they recontextualized the Gerudo Vai outfit and wrote out a good scenario of how connections between the Zora and Gerudo would work.

But I also remember liking Zora Pearls: a perfect combination of terato-adjacent tropes and a modern set-up.

[ikaishere]

Can we have a hint of what’s coming next in the modern au 👀🫶

in about 20 minutes modern au for flufftober, next day warriors:D for future stuff, I need to finish that sky five parter thing and I'm planning on developing sidlink!

Hyrule 2023

Hyrule 2023

by SkyoCanuck

So I'm just gonna have fun and do a do-over of the Breath of the Wild story with a twist. -------------------

Link always had the ins with the castle town family because of his father, a security guard with other 'talents', for the leading To'city family. Following in his footsteps, he soared through the ranks and quickly took over his father's position after his passing, despite the King's daughter, Zelda, resenting his seemingly given talent. This, however, gets no resolve after a tragedy strikes leaving Link comatose in a stasis state for 100 years. When he awakes again, the world's changed and he has no memory of what happened, who he was or any of his abilities... Or his family secrets.

Join Link as he slowly recollects all of his memories by meeting faces of his past- especially a bright eyed prince of the leading family of Lei'city; Link's hometown.

Slash Ships Get to Know Me

Thank you for tagging me @animeangelriku​

Rules: Name at least five (but no upper limit) slash (M/M) ships you love. Each from a different fandom.

1. Puzzleshipping (YuGiOh!)- To anyone outside the fandom, it may not make sense, and when I was originally in the Yugioh fandom circa 2006 it didn't make sense to me either. It confused the hell out of me because I was a baby ace ignorant of anything other than what media spoonfed me. But I did value their relationship deeply and knew they did love each other to come capacity. It wasn't until I finally got to watch the subtitled version as an adult that it clicked. It's so very special to me because even though I had preferred the platonic version of it as a kid, it's still incredibly nostalgic for me and it came back into my life at a time when I needed it 

1. Ozbert (Pandora Hearts) - Controversial, I know, (It used to be the most popular ship in the fandom) and I have not engaged with this ship in some years since it got in the line of sight for a lot of antis. I actually left a Pandora Hearts discord server over the harassment I saw. But again, I am asexual and aromatic, and this relationship was the first slash ship I got heavily into when I was a teenager. It's got tons of nuance and angst, and as someone who has read a lot of period fiction and is very aware of what was socially acceptable at the time, I view this completely differently from a modern-day setting. My enjoyment of this ship has morphed and is actually not romantic now, but it's on this list for leaving an impact on me. For those who balk at the idea that Oz is 15 and Gilbert is 24 for the main story arc, keep in mind that due to plot reasons, this is a very specific scenario, with supernatural elements and actual time travel involved. In the beginning, Gil is 14 and Oz is 15. So this is someone who had a childhood crush, clung to that love for ten years, but now his crush is back and hasn't aged a day. For me, it's exploring the complexity of that, and it's tragic. Gilbert is such a wonderful character, and any way you look at his feelings, you just know that even if it's not romantic, he and Oz are family.

3. VaNoe (The Case Study of Vanitas) - Same author as Pandora Hearts, and I just know she is going to hurt me again. And I will thank her. We have a reversal of the usual dynamic seen with vampire series. This time, it's the sweet naiive cinnamon roll Vampire, and edgy dark Human with a mysterious past and a broken moral compass. They are foils for each other and have so much chemistry it just works so well! At first, Noe does not like Vanitas at all and wants nothing to do with him, this draws Vanitas to him because he enjoys bothering people who catch his fancy and hate him. Then while his affections are on another, Noe learns more about him and he becomes very attached to Vanitas. Realizing now he has actually made emotional connections, it's clear that Vanitas is now afraid and is pushing them away. There's a push and pull here, and I'm both apprehensive and excited to see where their journey takes them. Even though we know it's going to end badly, based on the first chapter. I'm here for how much Noe has learned about his strange partner, to the point of figuring out a way to speak Vanitas' love language. Also, they both have no flipping clue what Love is, and the entire scene that unfolds during is gold. Vanitas is the kind of character who has never been treated gently by anyone, so I enjoy seeing depictions of him getting that from Noe, because it catches him completely off guard.

4. SidLink (Legend of Zelda) - This one is casual, because I actually have not played Breath of the Wild (I fully intend to though!!) but fandom content of this ship sucked me in. I found one fanfiction that was so incredibly sweet, and fell down a rabbit hole with that writer’s works and have fond memories of reading it. I will definitely have the ship goggles on once I play, I adore Sidon as a character, and I don’t know, giant peppy shark man and tiny human...what is there not to love? 

5. SoRiku (Kingdom Hearts) - Another more recent ship, as I was not in the Kingdom Hearts fandom in its heyday. I did not have access to the games, but saw plenty of fandom content of it and honestly, it was always a place of nostalgia even before I watched the Let’s Plays that were online. I’m so glad I did, and many others who adore this ship have laid out all the reasons why better than I could. I just haven’t explored it for myself outside of canon as much as I would like to, but I love it for the same reasons I love the other ships on this list. I guess that says a lot about me because all of these ships but ONE are riddled with Angst. What can I say...I like my Hurt/Comfort fics. I also enjoy seeing them in AUs where they get to live in better timelines. It’s a sort of Catharsis. Now, since the games are still going, where their relationship ends up in canon remains to be seen. I hope it ends well! 

And because I like to go ne step further:

6. Natsume x Tanuma (Natsume Yuujin Chou) - It’s so stinking sweet and I’m so soft for it! This series is actually my favorite, and I have revisited so many times for the atmosphere and combination of supernatural horror and slice of life. Natsume lives between worlds, he did not make connections with people because he faced ridicule and was unwanted (he scared people) and he hated Yokai because they interfered with his daily life to the point he did not fit in with humans. He could not share what he saw and suffered. As the series goes on he is able to make connections with both human and Yokai and one of the first people he opened up to about seeing them was Tanuma. Tanuma has some level of spiritual power that allows him to see phantom shadows, so his awareness of Yokai is such that he immediately accepts Natsume and wants to help him. He’s pushing through that wall Natsume has spent most of his life building. Even though he can’t see them and may put himself in danger, he wants to be there for his friend. They share secret knowing glances and smiles, and gradually Natsume is more and more accepting of his help, and opening up to him. Such as being able to admit he can’t see the fireworks at the festival because a giant yokai is in the way, and Tanuma smiles and offers to find a new viewing spot. This series is in a Shojo magazine and the manga-ka chose to make her protagonist male so that she wouldn’t be forced to write a romance. As a result, the girls he interacts with are friendly, but definitely don’t have a lot of romantic potential. Natsume is still way closer to Tanuma than anyone else, even with Taki hanging around. I feel like he and Taki have a friendship, but it ends there as she had never suffered the hardship the boys have. She’s just more likely to team up with Tanuma as a Protection Squad to intervene in the dangers Natsume faces.

The left is just a ganon piece i did, the right is my Sidlink college au where they're both swim team captains from rival schools

Link is also captain of the archery club and is involved in p much all sports clubs he's like a star athlete and Sidon is the captain of the swim club and his father is the dean (ig is what you'd call it)
