Something I'm glad has died down is people in vampire fandoms (Hellsing, Vampire Chronicles, etc) make fun of Twilight, as if we have a leg to stand on. Like I'm not going to sit here and say that Twilight is without issue (it is comprised largely of issue) but I also don't think Stephanie Meyer has described one of her characters pissing for two whole, entire and utterly godforsaken pages. Can we not all be cringe together?
#im both a hellsing and vampire chronicles fan btw#not actually a part of the twilight fandom#but like girl (gn) we're literally all fans of vampire media#the pissing description is from tale of the body thief by anne rice#it is actually two whole pages#i especially dont get the anne rice thing because anne rice vampires are like?#also shiny???#lestat mentions having to powder his face to cover up his unearthly radiance#like 7 times in tvl#girl?????#twilight#and hellsing has a catboy in it#end of discussion#honestly you should lock alucard (hellsing) and lestat in a room together and see what happens#like for science#vampire#vampires#vampire media

#you know what the worst part of this is????#it's actually better off they don't exist because you KNOW Meyer will just depict them as RACIST CARICATURES#this tag is sponsored by Maria 'her features were clearly Mexican' [NO LAST NAME GIVEN]#and of course the 'wild' 'feral' Amazons#oh and lest we forget Amun 'all Egyptians look the same' [last name]#OH AND LEST WE FORGET#THE ENTIRE NATIVE TRIBE MEYER APPROPRIATED & COLORED W/ RACIST TROPES & STEREOTYPES JUST TO PROFIT OFF OF W/O GIVING BACK ANYTHING TO THEM#yeah it's such a shame actually this author is so ignorant bc this series could have been batshit insane with coolness#whatever you won't hear me complaining too much - that's what this fandom is for#saddle up twilight bitches we ride at dawn#twilight#twilight renaissance#the twilight saga#twilight saga

So i follow the anti jkr tag bc everyone deserves a little hate as a treat, right? But what boggles my mind is the stuff that gets tagged w it. Hp stans who swear they can have their cake and eat it too bothers me less than the people who insist that some part of the works are admirable like honey no. Her books are pro slavery and anti semetic, and the movies are ugly and slow and boring and grayscale af. And i think this is what makes the twilight fandom more tolerable to me-no one on that fandom is tryna convince me that meyer is a good writer or that the franchise should be taken seriously. It's garbage, like drinking a can of coke after watching video of it cleaning a toilet but hp stuff gets treated like good wine that was merely served by a transphobic waiter.
#anti jkr#anti terf post#anti harry potter#Yall need some good fucking food for real#Also i feel like part of the fun of twilight is criticizing it and i think it's the property lots of teens first test their critiquing skill#Meanwhile I see ppl saying jkr is bad but she wrote magic like no honey.... No it's actually bad#I'd respect y'all more if you owned it like the twilight Fandom#twilight

ALSO THAT "putting the other four eccentricd in fine" reminds me of this post I did of the five eccentrics. Like, the power we have in our hands...
LET THEM DANCE TOGETHER AGAIN INDEED.
The five eccentrics makes me so.....OUGH. They're friends. They're brothers. They're soulmates. They were fated to be together. They were forced to be a group by the machinations of other people. They're everything and they make me so insane with their unironic affection for each other (and their insufferable love for their little brother Natsume). And the way we can just let them SING together again is the best thing this mv gives us the power to do.
#one of these days im gonna make a 5 eccentrics post because *shakes someone randomly* THEY MAKE ME INSANE#like the moment i saw them in the anime and then the elements mini episodes#and then heard eccentric party night and twilight pentagram#i was like 'oh no....not another group of soulmate-coded friends that will drive me into the pit of insanity'#AND THE BEST PART IS THAT THEY ALL GET MORE OR LESS EQUAL NARRATIVE LOVE!!!#like i love link click and orv but sometimes i do think that the ladies of those trios dont get enough love from the narrative#(not saying they don't get it and its not important or weighty...just not as....packed as it could be? idk maybe thats just me)#and its SO CUTE TO SEE THE DUOS BETWEEN THEM TOO IM JFIEOARIERJEWRE#sorry for going a little insane i love the five idiot geniuses a lot actually#enstars#ensemble stars#fandom spamdom#stuff i say

like i donât like the original source materal at all anymore i just wanna take the characters and the basic story and make a whole new story without r*wlingâs influence?Â
#meow#harry potter#it was a big part of my childhood so that's part of it#but i honestly just like the fandom's version of the characters#specifically shanastoryteller's version?#indian harry? superb#black hermione? incredible#fuck jk tho#i wanna take the whole series away from her and rewrite#do you think i could get away with it?#if i just straight up rewrite the entirety of harry potter?#look if someone can publish 50 shades which is a twilight fanfic#i can publish a harry potter rewrite#i'd just have to... change some things#a lot of things actually#cause jk is a terrible writer#and the older i get the more i hate her

me after finishing "futura free, pt. 2": yeah i'm just not sure if i'm all that into Grandecho? don't get me wrong, I love the good ol' "saving someone from mortal peril as narrative means to speedrun a character connection" trope, and that scene kicked ass, but Echo made it REAL clear what they thought of Grand's decisions in "The Feast of Patina," and it was FAR from positive sO... idk I think the only way you could get me to care about Grandecho is if we come full circle and have Echo save Grand again.
"futura free, pt. 3": Echo immediately goes to save Grand, and almost is almost forced to kill Ballad to get to him, then tells Grand they don't want a repeat scenario of another person they care about falling in with Advent.
me:
#OKAY FINE I SEE IT NOW ARE YOU ALL HAPPY WITH ME#i'm not actually mad btw i'm just sort of lovingly rolling my eyes at myself#but like. a lot of my accidental f@tt spoilers i get from fanart and i was seeing a LOT of grandecho everywhere re: tm#so by the time i was halfway through tm with. very minimal grandecho i was like ah. i got played by the fandom#AND THEN THIS HAPPENS#anyway who KNOWS when iâm going to be done with the last part of the finale#but i got a fair bit of solo travel for christmas so! confident i can finish by the end of 2022#friends at the table#f@tt liveblogging#mine#twilight mirage#echo x grand#(for once me not using standard ship tags works in my favor bc i DONâT want this in the main tag)

He Becomes a Dad! || Part 1/2
PART 2
Pairing: Time, Four, Legend, Hyrule x Reader
Overview: Congratulations, you're new parents đ Some of the Links are prepared. Others...might need a moment to gather themselves. But rest assured! At the end of the day, they're all going to get a handle on this whole dad thing. I'm a sucker for family tropes and there simply aren't enough out there for the Chain to quench my thirst, so here it is, I'm adding my contributionđ Btw, there will be only two parts for this prompt since Wind will be excluded for obvious reasons. Baby making isn't a platonic activityđ€·ââïž
Zelda Masterlist đ©”Fandom Masterlist
You only brought the topic of children up to your husband once. It was at some point during the early half of your marriage and after a particularly lengthy day of enduring Malonâs well-meant pestering. Time, beside being caught slightly off guard, delivered a straightforward answer:
âIt wouldnât feel right bringing kids into this world, especially when I would hardly be home to help you rear them.â
Now, you canât lie and say you werenât at all disappointed by this answer, although you wouldnât say you had the rug completely pulled from beneath you. You understood the true implications behind Timeâs statement right away. Itâs the same reason he took so long to let himself marry you. Itâs not you nor a disgust towards children, but rather an unspoken fear of building a life where heâs too happy - one that could be ripped away from him at a momentâs notice as has seemed to be the case for his younger years.
Although his worries are needless, you never pushed against his boundaries because you could at least see the sense in his argument. Sure, the idea of having children did always appeal to you deep down, however between Timeâs constant traveling and your hard work helping at Lon Lon Ranch, it would be difficult to squeeze a family into the schedule. There was no sense in forcing him into a commitment he wasnât ready for nor one you werenât in a position to properly foster.
Twelve years of blissful marriage passed before your plans changed. The blame lies with those other heroes, too. One would think traveling alongside a group of unruly young boys wouldâve made someone more certain of their decision to never again subject themselves to such a headache, yet it apparently had the opposite effect on your dear husband.
Discovering first hand how much pride he could feel towards a descendant was life-altering, to put it light. Twilight was living proof that somewhere along the line, Time does something right. Whatever kids he might have will grow up to have children of their own and so onâŠNot to mention Twilight isnât a terrible outcome by any means. To raise someone with the possibility of them turning out like him and to do so with you of all people? Well, needless to say, it was settled rather quickly after that: Time wanted kids.
Call it baby-fever if you will, but he was suddenly rather eager about the concept he had once avoided like the plague. He brought it up through not-so-subtly hints at first, then when you outright asked him if he was being serious, he went on a slightly nervous spew about your home being too quiet and how he could officially retire from traveling to be home more and itâs really a shame that you have an extra bedroom just sitting around - You just had to kiss him to shut him up which eventually led toâŠother things. Letâs just say you both got started right away.
It took you twelve years to realize you did indeed want kids yet less than a year to actually be holding them for the first time. It turns out even the universe was impatiently waiting for you both to come to your senses, so once you finally had, it decided to award you with not one, but two beautiful girls whom you affectionately named Saria after Timeâs old friend and Mallory, a mix between melody and Malon, their ever-so-excited godmother. Â
Itâs safe to say that the twins are pretty spoiled. Malon has been over almost everyday, bringing you plenty of baked goods as a bribe to let her spend more time with her favorite goddaughters and you have practically every baby related item that you could need, courtesy of the Queen of Hyrule herself, but of course, itâs their parents who love them the most.
Never in his wildest dreams did Time think it would be possible to feel so at peace with the life heâs built. For so many years, he feared true happiness was impossible - that every turn would result in the same cruel fate he had been subjected to during most of his existence - and yet for the last couple of nights, heâs held it in his arms. Heâs watched the moon rise outside his window while playing soft lullabies on his ocarina, you cuddled by his side with your daughters shared between you both. You wear a small smile even in sleep and he swears the girls match it, too; he definitely does himselfâŠThis is a priceless treasure heâll give his life to protect.
Four and you had already been married for a few years by the time you found out youâre pregnant. Itâs not to say you were actively planning for it, although you also werenât actively trying not to either.Â
It had been agreed upon early in your relationship that kids would be nice should they come your way, therefore you were both equally excited that your wishes were finally being granted, so much so that the nursery was finished within the first month (courtesy of your handy husband). Itâs painted in beautiful pastels that are easy on the eyes and decorated with many toys Four had hand-carved himself; a useful craft heâs now very appreciative towards Sky for teaching him.
Seeing as this was already a somewhat anticipated next step in your lives, Fourâs pretty relaxed throughout the process despite its many challenges. For starters, pregnancy itself unfortunately isn't as much of a 'blessing' for you as some have made it sound. Youâre rather sick from beginning to end. If it isn't your inability to keep food down (especially in the early stages) or your fluctuating blood pressure, then itâs the aching you constantly feel thanks to both your very heavy bump and extremely active baby who just loves to make sure you never forgot about their existence by kicking you as hard as possible day and night.Â
Worry not. Four has made your struggles more bearable by being a darling husband through and through. Heâs by your side during each doctorâs visit, does his own personal research on all things baby-related, and helps with every chore he can to give you at least some rest even if just for a quick nap, however most spectacularly, he does all of this without ever being too overbearing.Â
Although certainly concerned for your health, Four can recognize your strength any day of the week, especially when you've been rolling with the punches like a warrior queen during such a draining pregnancy. Anxious, sure, but not afraid. Why would he be? Heâs confident that youâre both prepared to face anything together! âŠThat is, until you actually went into laborâŠ
Yeah, remember that previously mentioned, relaxed and darling husband? Forget about him. Your water broke and so did Four's calm demeanor, but can he really be blamed? You went into labor early - and not just by a couple of days either. Oh no, we're talking a couple of weeks early.Â
Regardless of his newfound fear, Four does his utmost best to still present himself as calm and collected in front of you, not wanting to freak you out any more than youâre already freaking out yourself. He first helped you lay down with plenty of pillows and cushions before running to get help. After that, he doesnât leave your side, encouraging you throughout the process with a smile on his face, however donât be fooled: the second you turn your head to the midwifeâs voice or close your eyes to scream, your poor husbandâs face reflects his inner thoughts as the situation fully begins to sink in. 'Scared shitless' - that's a good word to describe it; eyes wide in terror with a mouth thatâs hung agape and slightly twisted in pain as your nails clawed into his hand.
As said, he never leaves your side - not even for a millisecond. You donât have to worry about him being the type of guy to get grossed out by natural fluids or complain about your expressions of pain; none of that is remotely a concern of his. Heâs just grateful to see you okay and even more so to hear his baby crying as they should.
A girl; small like her daddy, but healthy all things considered. Four couldn't wait to hold her, knowing damn well he was going to cry the second her soft skin touched his, but he isnât ashamed of it in the slightest. Who wouldnât cry holding something so precious?
Then you scream again. He thinks something must be wrong until the midwife announces that it isnât over - that there are more squeezed in there waiting.
At the end of the day, you're just relieved to finally breathe easy without going through agonizing pain while Four, on the other hand, is left in shock staring at not one, not two, but three little babies, all healthy girls who wiggle and whimper in their parents' arms, but oh well. The nursery may have to be expanded, although there's plenty of love to go around. At least he can thank Hylia that it wasnât quads (he's had enough of those).
Legend and you have been in a relationship for several years, although you had mutually agreed earlier on that neither of you were big fans of the whole 'marriage' thing. What difference would a ceremony and piece of paper make, anyway? You already act as any officially married couple would. You live together, go on dates, occasionally argue, and even share a bed which is exactly what resulted in a recent, unplanned detour in your lives: a baby.
When you first told Legend the news, he panicked, asking himself all those stupid questions like âwhat nowâ and âhow could this have happenedâ even though he knew damn well how. Then he left. Giving some half-assed excuse about needing fresh air, he turned his back to you despite your pleas and didnât return for hours.Â
Now, rest assured, he did immediately regret having that reaction and apologized for it as soon as he came home. He didnât mean to scare you with the thought of abandonment, but as he would quietly confess during his apology, the thought of being a parent had just been too overwhelming in the moment. Neither of you had ever talked about having kids, and while he could at least have some peace of mind knowing youâll obviously be a great mom, he fears that the same wonât be applied to him.
You have always been the light in a dim room, as Legend would put it. Youâre fun, sweet, and amazing with kids. Any child of yours, planned or not, will love you with all of their heart exactly as he does. Meanwhile heâs stubborn, cranky, and the last kid to cross his path literally started sobbing. Maybe it had to do with him being covered in monster blood after just having crawled out of a dungeon but heâs pretty sure he traumatized a kid nonethelessâŠThe thought of being just as bad around any kid you share together scares the crap out of him.
Deep, deep down, Legendâs actually somewhat excited to be a father. Although heâs too stubborn to admit it to anyone other than you, heâll sometimes daydream about how nice it would be to tell a little replica of you both about all his adventures or to teach them how to use some of the items heâs collected over the years like his trusty boomerang. Seeing the excitement in their eyes would definitely be worth listening to you scold him afterwards. If thatâs all there was to being a father, Legend wouldnât have a single concern, yet itâs his insecurities that always have a habit of souring things. Would his kid actually find his stories cool or would they just be tempted to throw the boomerang right at his head?
Youâve done your best to reassure him, often falling back on the argument that the baby will be a part of him. Like father, like son, right? Legend was almost ready to believe you, too, especially upon laying eyes on his child for the first time. As you passed the tiny bundle over to him, he thought that maybe being a dad wasnât going to be that scary after all, and it might not be so bad to even have more someday eitherâŠHowever, his worries were quick to return when the baby started screaming two seconds after being set into his armsâŠ
Baby screams if he holds him. Baby whimpers if he looks at him for too long. Sometimes, Legend swears the thing starts crying simply by hearing his voice in another room. It doesnât happen with anyone else, though. The baby just adores you as predicted, but what Legend canât stand is the fact that the baby seems to like Ravio, of all annoyances, over his own dad.
Heâs forced to watch as the little brat happily lets Ravio cradle him, the sight filling him with bitter jealousy and sorrow. Youâre convinced that heâs just overthinking everything - that he should give himself time to adjust to his new position as a father instead of holding himself to unrealistic standards, but how long is he exactly supposed to wait until it clicks? Itâs been a whole month already and he still feels as confused as day one! Will he ever get the hang of this whole dad-thing or is he a lost causeâŠ?
If thereâs any comfort Legend can have, itâs that even Ravio doesnât know what to do with the baby once he starts crying, so at least heâs not alone in that aspect. The only problem is youâre busy making lunch and stubbornly refuse to pause your efforts. Instead, you shove a bottle over to Legend, insisting that he be the one to feed his son since it should be a âgood bonding exerciseâ for them. You wonât take ânoâ for an answer and judging on your glare when he tries to protest, you probably wouldnât be happy if he tries passing the task onto Ravio either.
Thus, Legend is left to awkwardly sit down and take the baby into his arms. He already knows itâs obvious he has no idea what heâs doing, Ravio doesnât have to point it out, but luckily after some swift around, he manages to hold his son more securely against his chest before shoving the bottle in his face. The baby continues to fuss while turning his head away from the bottle, and Legendâs almost tempted to call for you in defeat until at last, the room falls silent.
Looking down, he watches in quiet awe as his son accepts his meal eagerly. His little hands quickly rise up, gripping onto Legendâs which holds the bottle in place. Theyâre so tiny; barely able to wrap around a single finger - Oh, and his eyes as well! Theyâre wide as he stares up at his dad with unbroken eye contact. Itâs like a wordless conversation - one more valuable than any heâs heard before.
You return, offering to take your son now that your work is done, but Legend is quick to shake his head. Why donât you take a well-deserved break while he handles this little troublemaker? It would be a shame to bother him when he looks so comfortable in daddyâs arms.
You've been dating Hyrule for longer than either of you can really remember, however you arenât in any big rush to get married, figuring that it would make no real difference in your commitment to each other. You love Hyrule and he loves you. What more is there to say? For a while there, you were both perfectly satisfied with simply taking things slow and letting fate decide your course, although more recently youâve had to switch up that method to something more stable for the baby. Yes, a baby.
You wouldnât necessarily call it a surprise, but you also canât truthfully say it was planned either. You had agreed that kids might be nice if the goddesses ever blessed you with any in the future, however you werenât exactly trying for themâŠYou just werenât being very carefulâŠ
Hyrule must admit he was rather nervous at the start. The only prior experience he really had around kids was with Wind, but thereâs a pretty big difference between a young teen and newborn. Pair that with his not so âkid-friendlyâ world and thereâs plenty to worry over. Anything could happen, but Hyruleâs determined to be the best dad and partner he can.
First thing was first, of course: you needed a place to stay. Traveling is fun and you both enjoy being on the move, but thatâs no life for a baby. Hyrule and you had actually already considered the idea of settling down someplace before, so you didnât think of it as a massive loss to take off your adventure boots for a while. If anything, it was a welcomed change once you remembered how lovely it is to be able to kick your feet up for a rest or be surrounded by warmth during a terrible rainstorm.
Again, Hyrule takes his job as your partner very seriously which wasnât ever a surprise to you. He found a small house for you both to rent in one of the safer villages around; a perfect place for raising a child. While he might not have a talent for decorating or making a place feel âhomeyâ, he does thrive when it comes to making sure youâre comfortable, his spare rupees definitely going to fluffy wool blankets and a rickety rocking chair that he saw at a market.
Early on in the pregnancy, you noticed that your boyfriend also began showing a new found determination for cooking which did scare you a bit at first - Okay, so maybe a lot. Hyrule began taking cooking lessons from some kind elderly ladies in town who must have an endless pool of patience because while you canât say every dish is a masterpiece (or even editable for that matter), you are happy to say Hyrule can now make things like toast and tomato soup successfully. Itâs progress.
There arenât a ton of doctors in your time and none in your village, so you have to take a lot of notes from local women regarding the process. Hearing all their stories and the possible âwhat ifâs for what could go wrong made you anxious, especially once you finally go into labor, but it doesnât faze Hyrule - not on the outside, anyway. He does an excellent job of swallowing his own fears for your peace of mind, talking you through each painful contraction and doing his best to distract you from it all until it comes time to start pushing.
Some people may get squeamish at the thought of childbirth, however Hyrule isnât one of them. Heâs fought through some terrifying dungeons and has bore witness to more than a few gory injuries over the years, so bodily fluids donât bother him one bit. Heâs kneeled down right in front of you without a secondâs hesitation, multitasking between mentally reviewing what heâs been told to do and reassuring you even though heâs sure you donât hear a word of it over your own screams.
One minute Hyruleâs encouraging you to keep pushing, the next heâs holding a small, crying baby in his arms. His movements after that feel almost automatic as he carefully cleans her off and just admires the fact that this baby - this tiny, precious gift of life is his. Sheâs yours and his and sheâs beautiful despite having come into existence within such a broken world filled with more hardships than he could countâŠ
Your tired voice brings him back to reality - asking if the baby you hear crying is okay. You clearly feel the same thing Hyrule does upon seeing your daughter for the first time, the two of you sitting side-by-side as you soak in this wonderful emotion. Hope...Thatâs what she represents. Hope for a brighter future...

Spy X Family manga spoilers!
So I'm actually not done talking about this chapter đ
1.
I know everyone has already said it but OH MY GOD this panel ripped my soul out. Twilight is finally realizing that his priorities when it comes to Anya are flawed, and he feels GUILTY. This is so so important to his character development because the fact that he can feel guilty about her even when it doesn't pertain to his ultimate goal means that he is slowly becoming attached to her outside of the mission. UGH.
2.
He mentions that he wants Anya to have some fun during her vacation. Even though he said it was his pretext (aka, not a real reason) for bringing her, it was still sweet that he even thought of it, considering fun isn't really his strong suit đ
3.
Twilight experiencing sensory overload đđ I don't think my guy can fit any more information in that brain of his.
4.
Is it just me or are they standing progressively closer to each other every chapter? I know he's standing in front of her but it's still really cute how she kinda hides behind him đ
5.
I feel like the fandom is collectively agreeing that physical touch is Loid's (or, rather, Twilight's) love language. The signature head pat is so cute!! ALSO, I feel like when he says "for both of us," he isn't just referring to gather intel. He's referring to the fact that Anya gets to spend time with her friends and cherish those moments with them, which is something that Twilight didn't get to do (brb crying). He, as a parent, feels it is important for her to have friends, and meanwhile, a part of himself heals by seeing his daughter succeed with that.
6.
Yor is so bisexual it's not even funny.

âHUSBANDâ
â PAIRING : Edward Cullen x Reader
â FANDOM : Twilight
â SUMMARY : When Edward proposed to Bella he expected her to accept after all they were mates? Right? Wrong! Bella rejected edwards proposal breaking his undead heart in the process, not being able to withstand the aftermath Edward leaves home; only to return 2 years later but this time heâs married?!
â AUTHORS NOTE : I already know there is a story on here called the same story with the same cover (on quotev at least) mines had been edited to a clearer form, (again on quotev) that was my old account, (marveluserlovesmarbel again on quotev was my old and very first account) one of my first actually. If I can remember the login information from it Iâd log back in and post my stories from their over here but for now enjoy the remake of said story :)
â QUOTEV VERSION
â HUSBAND MASTERLIST
â CHAPTER THREE : The Storm
Tension filled the air as Bella confronted the newfound presence of (Y/n) in Edward's life. She blinked in disbelief, her voice quivering as she stammered, "My love? Since when did this happen?"
Edward, sensing the impending storm, attempted to walk away with (Y/n) and even gestured for her to go inside. But (Y/n) was resolute and didn't budge. She glared at Bella, her voice dripping with ice, as she asked, "Who are you?"
Bella retorted, her tone growing defensive, "I'm Edward's girlfriend, and who are you?"
(Y/n) didn't waste a moment, showing off her ring with a fiery glare. "I'm his wife."
Bella's eyes widened in shock at the revelation. The words hung heavily in the air, and she was momentarily at a loss for words. She looked to Edward for help, but he maintained a blank expression.
Sensing Bella's vulnerability, (Y/n) couldn't contain her anger any longer. She stepped forward, poking Bella's chest with each word, her voice seething with righteous fury. "You've got some nerve showing your face around here. You made your grave; now lay in it."
Without waiting for a response, (Y/n) turned away from Bella and walked over to her husband, Edward. She looked deep into his eyes, her love and passion evident, and then, she pulled him into a long, passionate kiss. It was a declaration of their bond and a clear message to Bella that she was no longer a part of Edward's life. Bella watched them with a mixture of jealousy and regret, realizing that she had lost Edward. But she wasnât one to give up easily. With a huff she yanks over her car door looking back at the couple, âIâll be back later Edward,â and with a slam of the door she pulls out of the Cullenâs drive way.
Emmett the ever so innocent âviewerâ in all this snorts, âWomen am I right?!â
â
Inside the house, (Y/n) had stormed in, seething with anger and frustration. She couldn't believe that Bella had shown up and disrupted the peace she and Edward had found together. She muttered to herself, unaware of the growing intensity of her emotions.
"How could that wench come here and think all would be fine and dandy?" (Y/n) ranted, her voice filled with exasperation.
Unbeknownst to her, the lights in the house began to flicker erratically. The others in the room exchanged puzzled glances, noticing the unusual phenomenon. Emmett, always one to comment on such things, blurted out, "Yo, what's up with the lights?"
Edward, realizing that it was (Y/n)'s powers reacting to her emotional turmoil, excused himself and made his way to where she was venting her frustrations. He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder and whispered soothing words, "Love, it's going to be okay. Please, try to calm down. Your powers are reacting to your emotions."
(Y/n) took a deep breath, her anger gradually subsiding as she focused on Edward's calming presence. The lights in the house gradually steadied, no longer flickering. She turned to him, her eyes filled with remorse for causing such a disturbance.
Edward reassured her, "It's alright, my love. We'll figure this out together. Bella is no longer a part of my life, and you are the one I choose to be with. I love you."
(Y/n) nodded, her anger giving way to a sense of relief and the warmth of Edward's love. They held each other close, finding solace in their bond, and slowly the tension in the house began to dissipate.
As Edward held (Y/n) close against his chest, her anger continued to simmer. She mumbled softly, her voice filled with frustration, "I just don't like it. How can she come back here thinking she would be welcomed with open arms? After hurting you? After unknowingly hurting your family?"
Edward kissed her forehead gently, trying to offer reassurance. "It's okay, my love. We'll work through this."
But (Y/n) couldn't contain her anger any longer. Her emotions surged, and as she shouted in frustration, a light bulb above them suddenly burst, scattering glass fragments on the floor.
Startled by the sudden noise, Alice, who had been observing the situation from the doorway, took a step back. She glanced at the shattered light bulb and then at the two of them, her eyes wide with surprise. With an uncertain smile, she said, "I'll just come back later," and quickly walked away, leaving Edward and (Y/n) alone to deal with the aftermath of this emotional exchange.
As (Y/n) pulled back from their embrace, her guilt about scaring Alice was evident in her eyes. She whispered, "Oh no, I scared Alice. I have to go apologize."
Edward gently placed a hand on her shoulder to stop her. "No, what you need to do is calm down, love. Alice will be fine. She's a vampire, remember?"
(Y/n) wasn't easily consoled. She replied, "That doesn't mean I didn't frighten her, supernatural being or not."
Edward couldn't help but chuckle, his laughter resonating in the room. "That's what I love about you, my dear."
(Y/n) playfully smacked his shoulder, her worry still evident. "This isn't a laughing matter, Edward. I used my powers unconsciously, and look, I even broke that poor, innocent light bulb."
Edward continued to chuckle, the sound of his laughter filling the room. "You're right, love, but it's just a light bulb. We can replace it. Besides, Iâm sure Alice will understand.â
(Y/n) sighed, unable to resist a smile at her husband's laughter and reassurance. She realized that even in moments of turmoil, his presence had a way of calming her, and she felt grateful for the love they shared.

The complete set
The timeline after the hero of time is split into three
And we know for sure that twilight is related to time
But because sheik x link x Malon is a ship that the fandom has quite a bit of content for and people theorized that legend is a part of the royal family
Letâs add him as well as related to time lol (and by extension as related to sky)
Why..
Because it would be very cursed and therefore hilarious (two kids from different timelines that the parents happily share together)
Because that makes any interaction with lullaby and Malon very cursed
Malon was understanding off timeline differences and after finding out about her children / descendants
She was happy to let legend be part of her family(he was absolutely not crying about it at all when she said he was welcome any day)
lullaby was insisting that legend can stay if he wants
Because his life sounds like a crime she has to fix
Because any member of the royal family would be accepted as a heir
Then proceeds to straight up make it official no matter how many laws of nature it breaks (she already broke enough of those so whatâs a few moreâŠ)
Twilight was also happy to have lots of parental figures
And wind was considered as adoption bait for a while because they wanted the full set of the hero of time successors
And then also dragged along only not officially adopted because he had warriors who very much wanted to stay parent lol
The entire trio is just so casual about their secret kids that apparently came out of nowhere but are actually genuinely real
Like
Lullaby: âyeah this is My son and I was totally hiding him .. but no longer with it now he is officially part of the royal family.. no time travel or anythingâ
Malon: âand I also have a son he also was totally being hidden as well⊠theyâre both our sons âŠ. No other reason you havenât seen them like everââ
Talon : âI really donât know how that happened but I guess I have grandchildren nowâ
Time was just chilling as it went down and was relishing in the chaos that the public brought
He was born to be cryptic his entire existence was based around it
He is a fairy child at heart lol
#linked universe#lu wind#lu time#lu four#lu warriors#lu legend#lu sky#lu hyrule#lu twilight#lu wild#lu lullaby#time is a menace to society#zelda x link#sheik x link#malon x link#time travel shenanigans#ocarina of time#lullaby is absolutely on board with adopting her descendant#that's her kid now#legend and fable are siblings#legend had never felt this accepted before#twilight princess#twilight and legend are related because of time#a link to the past#lu malon#the trio goes and gaslights the entire public into believing that twilight and legend are genuinely their children#they succeed#Talon has no idea how he didnât notice Malon being pregnant at any point#how has his daughter and her partners hidden two kids from him#lu talon

what are your opinions on the background six? I know they're well beloved but in the early stages of the show, they were more popular than the mane six lol
I had to google to figure out what you meant lmao
I hope you meant these? Ngl I never knew people actually thought of them as a group of 6 paralels, lmao. Dr whooves is just a reference, I shows how big fandom tying was at the time lmao, no thoughts on him Lyra and Bonbon being the casual gayass girls in the bg was always a fun gag to me in the show. I like the fact that bonbon was a part of a secret task force, I wish we had seen more shit like that lmao.
Hey uh why are you playing piano literaly cheek to cheek. whatsup with that (In my fics if I need a couple to be doing some gay shit in the bg I use them) Derpy hooves is simple, she's just cute, always has been. Kinda funny that she originated from a bug, and people just latched onto it. I think that the fan love maybe blew a bit out of proportion, (Aparently some people ship her with twilight lmao?) But for a bg character she is absolutely precious. Must cherish Octavia and the DJ are just fun. I like that they're basically the two pokemon fossils, the duality lol. Two musicians, oposing styles, just chiling in the bg.

Private is very smart, right? Hes great at using resources he has on hand to get himself and the penguins out of a sticky situation. He comes up with the idea to pretend to be skipper to take shot for him, he covers himself in cockroaches to use as a camouflage from officer X etc. Hes also quite inventive in times of crisis as seen in "the untouchable" and "when the chips are down" And hes really skilled in combat, arguably the best in the team besides skipper. He manages to fight all of the penguins off in "cute-astrophe" he saves the penguins multiple times through the show and in the movie, hes all around badass and its annoying when the fandom portrays him as a helpless uwu baby that cant defend himself and relies on others in everything.
but on the other hand some people avoid babifying him so much they go the whole other direction and try way too hard to make him some sort of bad boy that is secretly edgier than he looks and bla bla. Like thats a guy that genuinely believes unicorns are real and thinks badgers are the scariest thing on earth, his weapon of choice is a twilight sparkle toy and the worst insult he can say is "liar liar pants on fire". He can and will fight and hes good at it, but he'll almost always seek a peaceful resolution first. He makes excuses for characters when all evidence points to them being bad guys (savio and space squid). And ofc looking for good in everyone isnt inherently stupid, but letting all your guard down in those situations kinda was. The guy was literally gonna walk into savio's enclosure when he invited them, his absolute worst fear are badgers, yet becky and stacy got his trust just by offering him his favourote candy, he travelled alone with a leopard seal to the freaking antarctica specifically into the leopard seal territory. He will drop his guard on a whim at the opportunity to help or befriend someone. And you may not like it but he is the baby of the family and its an important part of his character. The penguins see him as more childish and clueless than he actually is, but he is not fully caught up with them. He passes a dangerous trial and gets promoted to a first class soldier just to read a joke he ends up not understanding. He wants to be taken more seriously by other penguins while also having very childish interest which is honestly so relatable [from a person who is writing the penguins of madagascar analysis instead of studying for their college finals]. He can be badass smart and skilled fighter while still being a genue sweetheart with bit of childish worldviews without anything dark behind it. God forbid a man is full of childlike whimsy.

Hateno Boy - Part 2 - Link x Reader
The Calamity is gone, but so is Linkâs purpose. He feels completely lost in post-Calamity Hyrule where everyone but him seem to have found their new place.
It certainly doesnât help his restless nights that you, a young Hylian whom Zelda has hired as the new teacher at Hateno School, are slowly taking up more and more of his headspace with each conversation you two have.
Fandom:Â The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom Pairing:Â Link x fem!Reader Raiting:Â Mature (might go up, might go down, letâs see) Contains:Â feel-good, slow burn romance; platonic Link/Zelda; Link being an angsty retired hero Chapter Index | Read on Ao3
Chapter 2Â - Heromania
Contains:Â Link is awkward; Everyone is crazy about the Hero, maybe even you Word count:Â ~2,9k A/N:Â Yaas, second chapter, let's goooo
The cool night air sneaks in through the open window, barely keeping you awake. Twilight has come and gone, and you can already hear the first calls of the night owls. Your day at the school is stretching unpleasantly late into the evening once again. Youâve been so focused on creating the new curriculum with the Princess â or Zelda, as she has asked you to call her â that you have completely forgotten all your obligations as a teacher.
Now youâre stuck with a cup of tea that went cold hours ago and a stack of short stories written in poor grammar that you promised to read before the end of the week â a promise that seemed perfectly reasonable four days ago. But tonight? Not so much.
Youâve spent a lot of time with Zelda and her knight these past weeks. Zelda is eager to finish the curriculum before fall comes. You still have several moon cycles to go â summer has barely reached Hateno â, but Zelda isnât one to waste time. She is dedicated to offering the children the best education they can get. Youâre in awe of her devotion to the cause â and a little ashamed by your own lack thereof. You are the teacher, after all. You should be twice as passionate as Zelda is, should you not?
You blame your lack of enthusiasm on these late nights: the cold cups of tea and the ever-growing list of tasks and responsibilities that never seem to get any shorter, no matter how many hours of sleep you sacrifice.
You sigh as you pick up the next story from the stack.
THE HERO AND A MONSTER IN A SVAMP
You snort. The âHero of Hyruleâ craze among your students (or âheromaniaâ, as you like to call it) is at its peak. You thought you were being clever when assigning them to write a short story about the Hero, hoping it would excite them to complete an otherwise dull assignment. But you were a bit too clever for your own good in the end: your students got so excited to share stories that all of them returned more than one paper. And who were you to kill their excitement just because you had forgotten to do your part in reading them all in time?
You groan, rubbing your face harshly. You can feel the first throbs of a headache knocking behind your other eye. As amusing as some of the stories are (even Zelda thought so after reading one about Link turning into a giant), youâre slowly starting to despise your work, and your students â and the Hero, for that matter.
Another breath of cool air brushes against your neck. You bury your head in your hands. You donât actually despise your work, not really. Itâs just these late nights that you hate.
You hear the door creaking. Shit, you think in a panic and hurriedly tidy up all your scattered papers and pens. You should have expected Zelda to pay you a visit tonight, just like she has every other night so far. As tired as you feel, you donât need Zelda to see that. Worst case scenario, she might even think you are slacking.
But when you look up, itâs not the Princess standing at the doors, but her Silent Knight.
âOh, good evening, Link,â you sigh in relief. You glance at the stack of short stories and, as subtle as you can be, flip the first paper upside down before saying, âPlease, come in.â
Link, however, does not. He stands awkwardly in the doorway, his expression turning to a frown as he looks around, as if the last person he expected to find inside the school was you, the teacher.
âThe Princess isnât here,â you say after it becomes clear you are not getting a hello from him.
Link looks like a lost puppy, an apt comparison in your mind: he does follow the Princess around like one. The silence between the two of you feels awkward. Even though you have seemingly spent multiple evenings with him, you two have barely even spoken. Everything you know about him, you have heard from either Zelda or the gossipmongers of Hateno.
Or from your students. Most of it from your students.
âIâm sure she will arrive shortly,â you add, giving him an affirming smile. After hearing this, Link finally steps over the threshold and lets the door creak shut behind him.
âIâm sorry,â he says, still looking around, âI thought she would already be here.â
âThereâs no need to apologize,â you say, still smiling, hoping to ease the awkward tension still lingering in the air. You continue, âPlease, Link, have a seat while you wait. Would you like some tea?â
Link shakes his head and sits down on one of your studentsâ chairs. It is way too small for him and whines horribly under his weight. The sight of him is amusing, and you struggle to hold back the smile tucking at the corners of your lips. It becomes extremely clear, extremely fast, that Link is trying to look anywhere but into your eyes. You consider asking about his day but decide against it; heâs not the most talkative person in Hyrule, as youâve come to learn.
âPlease, let me know if you need anything,â you politely say before going back to your work. You have barely finished reading the first sentence of The Hero And A Monster In A Svamp when Link suddenly speaks.
âIâm bothering you,â he says.
You glance up from your paper. He is looking down at his hands, a distant look on his face.
âNo, not at all,â you lie, âbut I do have to ask you to leave after Iâm done with these papers.â
âOh,â Link says, already getting up.
âNo, not now,â you quickly say, âbut later. You wonât be able to leave once I lock the doors.â
âOh,â Link says, again, and slowly sits back down. âRight. Okay. Sorry.â He is glancing at the doors with a look of uncertainty.
âAnd I do prefer the company,â you assure softly. You give him a smile and â for the first time â he returns it. Itâs quick but awfully sweet, and you feel your stomach turning.
He looks down at his hands again. âI could make tea,â he says almost absentmindedly and stands up, still avoiding eye contact. âWould you like some?â
Not waiting for your answer, he rushes upstairs to the kitchenette. Itâs going to be a long night, you think to yourself and shift your eyes back to your studentâs story.
Ones upon a time there was the Hero of Hyrule. One day he saw a monster in a svamp. He takes his Master sword and he kills the svamp monster and he is So fast because he is stronger then the svamp monster. Everyone is happy. Princess Zelda is happy and we had a big party for The Hero. Mom is there and also my brohter and all my friends are there asswell but dad is crying because svamp monster is really my Nana and everyone is sad. The end.
You rub your eyes. A long, long nightâŠ
Your second cup of tea has also gone cold by the time you are done reading the stories.
âThank Hylia,â you mutter as you push the papers inside your bag. The stories are all sweet â though you question the validity of most of them â but no matter how adorable, youâre glad you donât have to read one more story about the Hero tonight.
You hastily gather your things and blow out your oil lamp before heading to the doors. You nearly scream when Link steps out of the shadowy corner he was sitting in. He has been so quiet for the past hour that you completely forgot he was even there.
âIâm so sorry,â you mutter, your face flushing with embarrassment. He doesnât say anything, and his eyes are as quiet as his lips. Instead, he opens the door for you. He gives your back a light, assuring push as you walk past him, something youâve seen him do to Zelda many times before. His gesture seems automatic, you donât think he even realizes he does it, but your cheeks blush anyway.
âAre you done with your work?â he asks, even though the answer is obvious as you lock the doors.
âYes,â you still answer. âHopefully the Princess doesnât come here looking for us.â
âNo. Itâs late,â Link simply says. Thereâs a tone in his voice you canât quite put your finger on. Is it disappointment? Or bitterness? You donât know him well enough to say for certain.
âYouâre not going to go look for her?â you ask.
Link shakes his head. âI will walk you home,â he says instead, giving your back another gentle push as you start making your way towards the village.
The silence between you two doesnât feel as awkward outside, where the rustling of leaves and the singsong of night birds fill in the quiet. The night air is brisk, easing the throbbing pain behind your eye. You sigh. You are happy Link offered to walk you home â though, he wouldâve walked past East Wind either way. He has an aura of safety around him, something you much appreciate at this hour, even though you know Hateno to be safe even during the night.
To your surprise, Link breaks the silence first, âIâve been meaning to ask you something.â
You get a little startled when you turn to look at him and find him staring right back at you. You donât think he has ever made eye contact with you in such a straightforward manner. You know youâre blushing. Itâs almost like he is searching for something within your gaze.
And all you can think about is just how blue his eyes are.
âHave we really met before?â Link asks.
You canât help the hint of pity seeping into your smile. Itâs clear that the question has been bothering him for quite some time.
âYes,â you answer, âyes, we have.â
He looks away, his brow furrowing as if heâs trying to force the memory.
âOur family farm is right outside Hateno,â you try to help him out. âYou knocked on our door late at night. It was during a thunderstorm, a bad one. I donât think weâve had a storm like that since.â
The pace of Linkâs footsteps slows down. His eyes are looking straight forward, but he doesn't seem to be actually looking at anything. You can see he is trying his hardest to remember. It pains you a little to see him struggle.
âItâs not that important, Link,â you comfort him. âIt was a long time ago.â
âNo,â he almost cuts you off, âI remember the storm. And I remember the farmhouse. The man of the house made me creamy mushroom soup.â
âThat would be my father,â you smile, âand my mother offered to stitch your tunic, but you refused. And you refused a warm bath, to her horror.â
Link doesnât laugh with you. Heâs looking at you again, eyes observing you closely. Youâre blushing hard. You donât think even you, yourself, have ever looked at your own face as intensely as he is now. You can see frustration building up behind his eyes.
Finally, he shakes his head. âIâm sorry,â he apologizes and looks the other way. âIâm not trying to be rude on purpose.â
âItâs okay, Link,â you say, lightly touching his arm. âYou had a lot going on at the time.â
You remember the night well. The first time you met the Hero of Hyrule was only a few months before the Calamity ended. He knocked on your family homeâs door in the middle of the night, soaked from the heavy rain, bruised, and shivering. Your mother offered him a bed in the guest room because she recognized his blue tunic (there were rumors of a Champion awakened from a 100-year slumber), and your father made him food because he felt sorry for the boy.
You, too, felt sorry as you watched him eat his soup and then refuse the dry clothes your father offered him. He looked exhausted and on the verge of tears. Heâs just a boy, you thought, your heart aching as you watched him rub his eyes dry while he may have thought no one was looking.
Youâre not mad at Link for not remembering, nor do you feel disappointed. You never spoke with him. You never once thought he even noticed you sitting there by the fire, observing him quietly.
He was just a boy, you think, struggling to meet his gaze. You were the same age as him back then, and you believed â still do â eighteen was too young to bear the fate of the entire kingdom on his shoulders.
Hateno sleeps quietly. There are no lights, not even a flicker of a single candle behind the darkened windows. There is no chatter, no laughter, no horse hooves, no buzzing insects. Even the wind seems to be on its tiptoes as it blows through the town, as if to avoid disturbing the sleeping people. The sand beneath your boots sounds awfully loud in the silent night.
âMay I ask you something in return?â you quietly speak. Thereâs been a long stretch of silence between the two of you since your earlier conversation. You can see something is still troubling Link, and you donât want him to go home feeling saddened by memories you didnât mean to bring up to the surface.
Link doesnât say anything but he turns to look at you.
âThe question is a bit⊠silly,â you hesitate. He waits patiently for you to continue.
âUhm,â you mutter, already feeling stupid even thinking of asking what youâre about to ask. âDid you ever, by chance, fight a swamp monster during your travels? A monster that perhaps turned out to be someoneâs grandmother?â
Link blinks. â... Iâm sorry?â
âForget about it,â you say with an uncomfortable laugh, motioning for him to stop staring at you. âThe children have a wild imagination sometimes.â
Link thinks for a moment before sternly saying, âI have never killed a grandmother.â But the frown on his face makes it seem that he, himself, is not quite so sure of his own statement.
âItâs just something silly one of my students said,â you explain, âI asked them to write down stories theyâve heard about you.â
âOh,â he says.
âThey adore you,â you feel the need to explain further. âIt was just for practice. I think most of them just made things up for the assignment. I doubt you ever turned into a giant during your adventures, or did you?â
Link shakes his head, a small smile tugging at his lips. âNo, I never did,â he says.
âI donât understand how they can even come up with stories like that,â you laugh. âPoor Teebo swears he saw you riding a bear once!â
âOhâŠâ
âAnd one of the girls says their aunt in Lurelin saw you sailing naked all the way from Eventide.â
â... Oh.â
âCan you believe the imagination of these children?â you chuckle, shaking your head.
Link rubs his neck. âYeah, wild imaginationâŠâ he hesitantly agrees, forcing the most unconvincing laugh youâve ever heard.
âOh no, Iâm so sorry,â you quickly apologize, âI didnât mean to make you uncomfortable. It was just a silly assignment.â
âNo, I donât mind. Iâ uh, I did sail to Eventide and back once,â Link admits, a faint blush coloring his cheeks.
You give him a sympathetic smile. âStories change as they get passed on.â
âYeahâŠâ Link mutters, rubbing his neck again.
You come to a stop as you reach the East Wind. The storeâs windows are pitch-black, just like the rest of the village. You hope you wonât disturb Pruce and his family when you sneak in. He has been generous for letting you stay up in their attic basically for free. Sure, your father knows the shopkeeper well, but you still think not many people from Hateno would offer such kindness to other peopleâs children. Itâs not the most comfortable living arrangement for a woman in her twenties, but it is better than living with your parents. Besides, Zelda has promised you a room on the schoolâs second floor once it gets cleared out from all the junk left behind during building.
âThank you for walking me back,â you say as you turn to look at Link, âI hope it wasnât too much trouble.â
âIt wasnât,â Link assures you with a smile so soft it makes your heart flutter. Youâre starting to understand why the girls in town act so giddy around him. He does have an endearing smile.
âIâll see you around,â Link says, still smiling. âHave a good night.â
âYou too, Link,â you say, feeling a bit flustered. You donât quite understand your sudden giddiness, and you wish you could just slap some sense into yourself. You pry your eyes off of him before the butterflies in your stomach get any more restless. You take in a sharp breath when you suddenly feel his hand on your back again, pushing you gently towards the door right before he leaves. You are still certain he has no idea heâs doing it.
The night air feels almost too cold against your warm cheeks. You fumble with your keys for an embarrassingly long time before you get the door open. You canât understand why suddenly your mind is completely overtaken by the thought of the Princessâ knight giving you such attention. Youâve never felt this starstruck around the Princess, and she, at least, is going to be crowned as the Queen of Hyrule one day.
You curse. Thereâs no other explanation: it has to be your studentsâ âheromaniaâ trying to overtake you.

Welcome to the Twilight Eyes Project!
This is basically my excuse for yet another rewatch of the entire anime, with parallel comparison with the manga :D My point during it is to get screenshots of Twilight's eyes during crucial moments, and sort each one of them into one of three categories, with a bonus fourth:
Twilight eyes
Loid eyes
Real eyes
Sad eyes
Based first and foremost on Endo's styling choices in the manga:
First:
"Twilight eyes": They're narrowed, focused, even at times that he's alone and not directly facing a threat. They're meant to show us he's fully alert.
Possible sub-category, focus on investigative eyes:
Second:
"Loid eyes": They're wide open, usually accompanied by a crafted smile, portraying a willingness that looks almost uncomfortable if you know better, as the audience does. They're meant to show us that he's making himself look nonthreatening, welcoming, trustworthy, pleasant enough for someone to spill all their secrets to. A clear manipulation tactic.
Third:
"Real eyes": Moments when, most likely unbeknownst to him, his eyes lose both the narrowed, calculating look and the over-willing, forced smiling look. Instead, his eyes pick up on his emotional state and express it fully.
Bonus:
"Sad eyes": Panels and shots focusing almost exclusively on his eyes, that usually portray a deep sadness. They're separate from Twilight eyes, because even though they're narrowed, it's in emotion and not focus, and they're separate from the "Real eyes" category because in their particular case there's direct focus on his eyes. And it's usually a sad expression, therefore the title.
Of course, there are times that his eyes have a neutral expression, or an exaggerated comical expression. Those won't be featured here, this is mostly a study on how he swifts between focus and cover, and on the times some emotions slip through his look.
This post series will be tagged "sxf tep" along with related fandom tags, if you want to follow through it, and I will mostly analyze one anime episode per post, unless there's too little content (where I'll combine two or more episodes in one post) or too much content (where I'll break the post in two parts).
Reminder that I am anime only, I don't want manga spoilers, and I won't analyze screenshots from manga chapters that haven't been adapted yet, as I haven't actually read any past chapter 59, which was the last to be adapted. I will post my usual reminder at the end of each post.
#note: I haven't actually started any posts lmao#as soon as I post this I'll start with the first episode#wish me luck lol#Spy x Family#sxf tep#sxf Twilight

In terms of Bleachy things that I am never not thinking about given my particular sort of brainrot, it would have to be Chapter 179, Confession in the Twilight. Today, I want to overthink long and hard about assumptions fandom often makes about Hisana. Some of these assumptions are not well-supported by the canon. Other of these assumptions likely stem from material added by the anime and/or the movie Fade to Black.
Because I'm sort of "meh" on the supplementary material from the anime and pretty "blah" on the Bleach movies overall, I will stick to the manga. (I am also a simple creature with only two brain cells to rub together now-a-days so... there's that, too.) I am sure there are more assumptions one could pick apart and torture to death, but for the sake of brevity (I write cackling because when am I ever brief?) below are my top three.
1. Assumption One: Hisana had no spiritual power/pressure
This one is odd to me because we, the audience, do not have a whole lot of evidence to base this assumption off of. Byakuya never says anything of this sort to Rukia during the confession:
Although, it is possible that Hisana was spiritually weak, and what made it difficult for her to survive was taking care of a baby with significant spiritual pressure/power. This explanation is entirely possible, but, based on the English translation, it is not the only interpretation one could draw.
Honing in on the"[b]ut it was hard for her to survive there while caring for you..." bit, this could suggest that Hisana, in fact, needed more than vibes and water to survive herself. We get a sense in Bleach that siblings often have similar capacities in terms of spiritual power and pressure, and we know Rukia is spiritually gifted. Accordingly, one could make the leap that Hisana, too, had some spiritual capacity. Now, I think the case for sibling similarities in spiritual talents is probably strongest for the souls born in SS since they presumably are most "genetically" related (or whatever concept passes for "genetic" relationships in SS), one assumes. This, of course, also assumes you buy the idea that Hisana and Rukia were just ordinary souls who passed from the WOTL to SS. KT, however, has thrown a wrench into this explanation by suggesting that Rukia is a secret... eighth thing/potential hybrid. (At least, I think we are up to eight soul "ecotypes" now .... Maybe it's nine if we add in the lore from Burn the Witch.) Perhaps this secret variation/hybrid is specific to Rukia, or maybe it applies to both sisters equally.
Other evidence that could support Hisana as having some spiritual capacity (beyond being a spiritual dandelion) includes:
According to Renji, the only way to escape Inuzuri was to attend the Academy/become a shinigami. It's possible that Renji was speaking only in terms of "legality" (i.e., the only legal way to leave your assigned district/town/placement is to gain admittance to the Academy) since we know Kenpachi and crew exist. Could Hisana have gotten out of Inuzuri using the Academy loophole? Sure! Why not? Was Hisana a bloody tank like Kenpachi and fought her way out of the city? Maybe but probably not, since she felt driven to abandon her sister, which doesn't seem very warlord-like of her. Maybe Hisana never actually left Inuzuri after the abandonment. The "[a]bandoned you and ran" (emphasis mine) part of the story makes it sound like she left the city, but maybe she just ran away from Rukia and went to another part of Inuzuri or the district.
Rukia somehow managed to survive (i.e., maybe it wasn't the demands (or just the demands) of a spiritually needy baby that drove Hisana to abandon her). We don't know much/anything about the period of Rukia's life between the abandonment and meeting Renji, so it's hard to say how needy she was as a soul baby.
Hisana hung out with/lived with Byakuya, who we know (a) has a metric ton of spiritual power and pressure, and (b) lives in a city full of similarly situated souls. Canonically, weaker souls seem greatly affected by the spiritual pressure of the more spiritually capable souls in Bleach, which could suggest that she had enough to withstand living in Seireitei and being married to someone with a lot of the stuff.
Depending on whether you think Rukia is anywhere near the ballpark in terms of her age vis-Ă -vis Ichigo (150 years, by the way), Hisana's life span would have been about 100 years in SS, which isn't particularly short. It seems that souls with some spiritual power/pressure tend to live longer than souls without it.
As Byakuya continues with his confession to Rukia, he says that Hisana "searched for [Rukia] almost every day for the next five years." If you take this literally, it sounds like Hisana went out into the slums regularly, which is pretty far away from Kuchiki manor. Without some sort of fast travel option (the Kuchiki are rich so maybe one exists...), it seems that she would have needed to learn a pretty good flash-step to make that trek anyway feasible. Although, it is possible that Byakuya meant Hisana searched for Rukia in a more abstract sense since, as a noble, she would finally have resources (beyond her physically trekking out there) to conduct a search. It could also be both.
2. Assumption Two: Hisana was (or was not) doing XYZ before marriage
This assumption likely piggybacks off the one above. Since we are given no indication as to what Hisana was doing before marriage, if you assume she was a spiritually weak being, it makes sense for the years between abandonment and marriage to be full of scrounging and hiding from scary beings/thugs/monsters/take-your-pick. And, true, the reckless noble/prince taking an unwashed but kindly peasant girl as a wife is an oldie goldie in terms of romance tropes.
But, as noted above, Hisana could have been literally anything. Shinigami? Sure! Secret agent/informant? Why not!? In CFYOW, Yourichi gets pretty annoyed at Tokinada for speaking ill of Hisana. It's possible that she's irritated with him because he's trying to goad Byakuya into an altercation and is using Byakuya's dead wife as the ammo (which, yeah, is a pretty gross thing to do). Alternatively, there could be a personal connection between the two women (which may provide further color on Rukia being chosen as a vessel for the orb, don't mind me just out here speculating). We know the higher districts are rough, and, at least according to Renji, Inuzuri is full of criminals and bastards of all stripes. Hisana could've been a crime lord, a lackey to a crime lord, a thief, a prostitute, a hustling gambler, a bookie, basically anything. The vagueness is glorious!!!
3. Assumption Three: Hisana died of ghost consumption a respiratory illness
This assumption likely arises from the anime (although forgive me if I'm wrong about this since it has been a while since I've watched the anime) and Fade to Black, which has a scene where Hisana has a coughing fit. The manga, however, gives no indication:
All Byakuya says is he "lost his wife." To what? Who knows?! Be more specific, Byakuya!
We also don't get a whole lot of evidence to indicate what killed her during the confession scene.
Hisana isn't sweating, and her futon is white as is the bit of clothing we see, so it doesn't look like she's necessarily suffered a physical attack/assault. She's also, notably, not coughing....
For reference, below are Byakuya's bludgeoned panels because we have a lot of parallels between her deathbed request and Byakuya's confession to Rukia:
To be fair, Byakuya's blanket and pad aren't bloody either, but his captain's coat sure is, and, goodness, is he sweaty! Although, perhaps Byakuya's memory of Hisana strips away the gory and gruesome bits (e.g., blood, sweat, coughing, gasping, gurgling death rattles, anguished groaning, etc.) since... well... no one actually dies pretty.
Based on the manga retelling of Hisana's expiration, the cause of death was... literally anything. Okay, I kid. I kid.
Sort of.
Maybe her COD wasn't literally anything. She was at least in a bed ready for death and had enough time to call upon her husband. (Although, so is Byakuya here, and he was stabbed like thirty minutes ago and is giving similar sorts of vibes to poor Rukia.) My guess is that whatever Hisana had, she succumbed to it over a period of time, which rules out causes of death that come fast, but a lot of deaths aren't immediate (unfortunately). Maybe she sustained internal injuries that took her, which would parallel nicely with Byakuya in these panels. Maybe she had "beautiful wife consumption," which is an oldie goldie trope for doomed lovers. Maybe she had whatever soul flu or illness afflicted Byakuya's dad. Maybe she had some sort of soul cancer. If you're doing the math (or a version of the math since time in Bleach is wobbly), Byakuya and Hisana married a year or so after WWII. It's not a pleasant thought, but cancer (leukemia and solid) rates went up five+ years later for obvious reasons, and perhaps this is an abstract/unconscious nod to that of sorts.
But, who can say??? Not me, that's for damn sure!
From a practical story-telling perspective, I imagine that KT leaves a lot of wiggle room around this period to avoid caging himself in for whatever reveal he had/has in store regarding Rukia's backstory/heritage/why Urahara picked her to put the orb into/etc.
