okay but the unexplored potential of a revali and purah dynamic
revali is so keen to be the best of the best and push himself past all conceivable limits, and purah wants to find the limits of sheikah tech and magic only to barrel past them and nearly become god
so one day, purah comes to revali "how high can medoh fly?" and he pauses bc he hasnt thought about that much, which he realises is asinine how has he not thought of taking her higher "well her resting altitude is x but its possible to go higher, though i dont know her limits" and they just look at each other bc well now they have too know-
and it continues like that, purah coming to revali with questions about medoh or the rito or his wind magic or eventually just requests for assistance "i need you to fly this up there for me, clear out this monster camp, ect ect" and revali loving the attention and the chance to show off, and that hes able to prove himself as truly better (he often tries to rope in the other champions to compare) and purah is loving all the data and the chance to work so closely with a pilot and they both compliment each others personalities quite well, both sassy and intelligent and where purah is overbearing and bubbly revali is insecure and sulky
anyway this is all pre calamity stuff, i want them to be very good friends and cause chaos together and push each other to constantly better each other, and purah would scoff at revalis creative insults but internally laugh and file them away to use later, and revali may act uninterested when purah talks for hours about conclusions shes come to and different approaches they could take hes actually paying complete attention and thinking of ways to use this knowledge in piloting or training
#purahs just a lot of fun and a very chaotic energy and i love her#so of course i had to put her in a situation with my bird boi#purah takes all of revalis insults and uses them on robbie and impa (they hate it so much)#revali tries to flex his knowledge of sheikah tech on the other champions and ends up accidentally bonding with zelda over it#and look at me ive done so well not to mention link look at me go (i had to stop myself three times from including him directly)#but this is the tags and i reign supreme#purah thinks revalis “rivalry” is more like a stupid crush and so she teases him relentlessly but gets away with it bc she can rope him int#challenges I MEAN EXPERIMENTS that prove revali is better at flying and archery and whatever#and she calls him linky which revali finds amusing (he starts using the nickname sometimes and accidentally says it too his face hehehe)#honestly i reckon they work together to create a design for the paraglider (why its so strong/sheikah compatible but has the rito symbol)#(specifcally revalis symbol but hey thats usually for the revalink brainworms to feast on)#purah#botw purah#aoc purah#revali#botw revali#aoc revali#botw#aoc#moss' madness

riot making arcane the main canon is honestly the stupidest and most unnecessary move, its taken alot of enjoyment from the show for me bc now instead of seeing it as a really well made fanfiction that i can just sit back and enjoy the reinterpretations of without worry i keep thinking how whatever they do is gonna fuck with canon and how much is retconned bc of it
they didnt even finish the other, waht 10 year old now?, retcon and now they are doing it again?? what for?? literally nothing is gained from forcing it all into arcanes interpretation- even if they want to bring more characters the show made up into the game you can do that without having to make the show the center of everything; i might have stopped playign the game but i still care about some of the characters and stories, the lore and worldbuilding is what i enjoyed most of any league stuff, all of which is now on thin ice (granted, it has been since they started to fire their writers, but now even the work they did might not even stay), it hurts to see things you loved being thrown into the garbage for no reason, whatever time i spent thinking and caring about it essentially wasted, deemed that what i cared about didnt matter at all (hhhh similarly so with totk, what is it with these things happening to the few things i ever liked ......)
#ganondoodles talks#personal#arcane#league of legends#never thoguht id use these tags again ...#anyway ... its annoying#and it has severly impacted my enjoyment of the show....#when it wasnt canon i found the whole arcane hexcore thing an interesting idea#now??? what is it? is gonna retcon mages as a whole? is that the new void? whatever it is its gonna fcuk with existing stuff#i stopped caring about zelda lore bc of totk and now i guess i need to let go of leagues world too#old skarner and his lore already got thrown out the window- i hate the new him and the complete removal of hextechs og source too#good thing i never got as much into lols lore as i did with zelda#still it feels like im losing every last bit of things i ever liked#'fuck canon and do your own thing' can only get you so far and im tired ... im so tired

[id: a colored, digital drawing of zelda from tears of the kingdom. she is a fat person of color with stretchmarks. she is drawn in the context of a roleswap au—she has raurus arm, and is wearing an unaltered archaic set, letting her boob hang out. she carries an undescript claymore one handed in a fighting stance, using her other arm for balance. she has a determined expression. end id]
this drawing took me like 2 months to finish but at last! you may have Her
#doodles#loz#totk#legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#zelda loz#artistic nudity#ask to tag—i assume it wont be a big deal but im open to whatever youd like to be tagged#gentle reminder that i am ace and this is not intended to be sexualized#just covering my bases#sidenote: i am aware that claymores are commonly 2-handed but i think zelda would be strong enough to use them one-handed if she wanted to

perhaps a lot of my b*tw issues are actually due to my own expectations for the game and by extension my dislike for botw fans
#b*tw fans will sct like its the sinoge best zelda hame and like its leagues above and its like#its fine to like it its fine to not like the other zelda games (through gritted teeth)#it is a totally different genre. to me. yk. it feels like a new game which is fine thats what they were going for i surpose#its a huge rebrand for the series n i cn appreciate the aspects of it if i dont try to force it into my personal mold of what A zelda game#is.#also this doesnt include the orientalism with the gerudo. that shits fucked up no matter what#ir is NOT a botw specific issue#but yk. b*tw ws a very. disappointing game 4 me#bc i love older zelda games n botws whole thing is that it. breaks the format entirely andis different from every other game#which is fineee its allowed to do that and im allowed to not like it and other ppl r allowed to like it.. i just have trouble#and also it annoys me that a lot of botw fans r like. Just botw fans. and not loz in general fans.. But still use the loz tags#not that like. idk i dont wanna sound gatekeepy obv th main loz tag is like. botw is a zelda game (even if imo thats in name alone)#but ppl will cross tag botw specific posrs with every other zelda game like. it annoys me#and also i think the fanon portrayl of botw is so fucking annoying i want all of you to jus to bee hornets#and i blame fucking l*nked *niverse that racist fucking cunt. GDDDD#whatever though#its like. its very well done. it can be pretty (personally the art style doesnt appeal to me a ton) the music is very original while also#being a good callback to former games. the sound design is Actually phenomenol#it just isnt for me i think. n yk. it sucks bc like#idk. there will be zelda games after totk#and i hope theyll be. different. and a return to formula#idk...#i do also appreciate like. as much as i say that botw doesnt feel like a zelda game to me#zelda is deeply personal to me.. n i recognize that it Is a zelda game#and i like all of the small references to other games.. i appreciate that#i cn tell the team rly love the world of zelda n im glad for that.. just personally i love the like mechanics and gameplay of former zelda#games. yk.... thats all#n ik. i literally am just going I want more tp. but i do wish we could have more like that...sigh#its ok. i will just rewrite oot in my brain#and botw too i accidentally said oot. i do need tl rewrite oot though bc .. um anyways

Hello and good day to all my fellow Legend of Zelda fans!
As you may or may not be aware we in the Legend of Zelda fandom have been having some troubles when it comes to tagging on A03. Mostly that the only tags that seem to be available to tag various Links with was the Linked Universe specific tags. Which led to writers either trying to make their own tags (which no one knew how to find) or inaccurately using Linked Universe Tags. Neither of which were fair to creators writing outside of Linked Universe, or fair to the Linked Universe community (let alone JoJo herself!).
People trying to tag their non-Linked Universe fics were either scrambling to be found or blending their words in with Linked Universe works. And Linked Universe fans who were searching for Linked Universe fics ended up stumbling across fics they weren’t looking for.
So, with that in mind, I reached out to the A03 team in search of a solution. And they have gotten back to me! I am going to post a picture of their reply under the cut, but I will summarize it first.
There (now? I’m not clear if they’ve all existed before) are tags we can use for most of our various Links that aren't Linked Universe. They’re just not tags that go in the “Character” box. Instead, you put Link (Legend of Zelda) in the character box and then one (or more) of these tags into the “Additional Tags” box. The tags are ‘Link from X game’. So, for example: Link from Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom (Legend of Zelda) or Link from Twilight Princess (Legend of Zelda). If you try to put a specific Link in and they don’t exist already you’ll just have to fill it in unfortunately. And the more people use that tag the sooner it will be made into one that’s canonized.
Mind you! These tags should NOT be used for Linked Universe fanfictions. JoJo has explicitly asked that Linked Universe fanworks NOT be tagged with general Legend of Zelda tags. And that is what these are. So please leave these tags for those of us writing outside of Linked Universe.
I did a little experimenting and there seems to be a tag for every game EXCEPT;
“Link from Four Swords Adventures (Legend of Zelda)”,
"Link from Triforce Heroes (Legend of Zelda)",
“Link from The Legend of Zelda (Legend of Zelda)”,
“Link from The Adventures of Link (Legend of Zelda)”, and
“Link from Age of Calamity (Legend of Zelda)”.
There is also no tag for:
“The Hero of Men (Legend of Zelda)” (or whatever title could be used for the hero before Link from The Minish Cap)
But there are Character tags for “Ancient Hero (Legend of Zelda)” and “Hylia’s Chosen Hero (Legend of Zelda)” (who I believe is the First Hero).
The more we, as a fandom, use these tags (especially the ones that aren’t currently searchable) the more readily usable they will be.

OL EUA YUGQ G XGOYOT OT MXGVK PAOIK, OZ ZAXTY OTZU G MXGVK. NGVVE NGRRUCKKT! 🎃⚠️
(costume talk and yapping under the cut)
starting from back to the front:
stan and ford are handing out candy this year, stan dressed in his vampire costume and planning to scare kids and ford is wearing a mabel (turtleneck!) pumpkin sweater, about as festive as he's willing to dress up this year. ford was originally planning to hole himself up in his lab and work on data analysis or whatever nerd shit he has going on but stan invites him to help scare the hell out of kids. ford declines initially, better things to do, but after checking to see how stan's doing (badly), ford decides to help by bursting out of the bushes with a glowing laser gun, face cloaked in shadow. it's more fun than he expects or admits and he eventually fully joins stan.
soos and melody are trick or treating in a couple costume, soos as zelda and melody as link. melody wanted to cosplay link for awhile and you cannot convince me soos wouldn't jump at the chance to dress up as a badass anime elf princess who can fire lasers.
mabel, pacifica, and waddles are dressed as utena, anthy, and chu chu respectively. i have a headcanon that post working at the diner and slowly getting used to normal kid things, pacifica discovers anime. specifically shojo princess anime. she finds utena and loses her mind over it in private, with mabel eventually breaking down her walls and getting her to admit to the sin of liking anime. mabel gets pacifica to show her her favorites and mabel immediately insists they need to cosplay as utena and anthy for halloween, pacifica is a princess after all! (said in jest, but baby gay panic ensues on pacifica's end. mabel is pretty oblivious to her plight and doesn't realize why being pacifica's knight makes her feel so giddy until later on.)
dipper sees pacifica joining mabel as an excuse to flake out on trick or treating without being a total jerk, especially since they'll be joined by candy and grenda later. i know he's working on not trying to grow up too fast by the end of the series, but kids and teens are full of anxiety and doubts and i figure he would be pretty awkward about a lot of things still, even after learning otherwise. wirt doesn't want to dress up since the previous halloween ended with him in the unknown then waking up in the hospital, but greg still wants to go trick or treating. dipper tags along to help babysit greg despite it not really being necessary, wirt's just glad to have someone to chat with while he takes greg, especially someone who doesn't leap to finding him strange. greg is going as a ghost elephant and wirt assumes it's just the weird kid tradition of layering costumes over the years, but greg's logic is that he "died" as an elephant last year so now the elephant is a ghost. if wirt heard this he would probably end up freaked out, but kids are often more aware of things than expected. dipper is wearing wendy's hat since she traded with him at the end of the series.
putting wirt and greg in there could feel a little random, but these are my two favorite shows to watch during autumn and i associate them with each other. plus, it's otgw's ten year anniversary and it's so perfectly halloween, i think it makes enough sense to put them together. idk i love joy and whimsy, i am cringe and i am free.
i initally wanted to include other characters, candy, grenda, and wendy for sure but i was also considering coraline, wybie, and norman. felt way too complicated so maybe i'll draw something with those characters some other time.
#gravity falls#otgw#over the garden wall#mabifica#implied lol#also#pinescone#implied too but like cmon man of course is mabifica and pinescone who do you think i am#stan pines#ford pines#soos ramirez#melody gravity falls#waddles the pig#mabel pines#pacifica northwest#dipper pines#wirt otgw#greg otgw#jason funderberker#spooky draws#if the read more doesnt work i am so sorry about your dash experience

This Halloween is Crazy
THIS IS A SECOND PART OF AN AU. IF THIS IS THE FIRST POST YOU SEE, I SUGGEST YOU CLICK ON THIS (“MAIN STORY”) TO READ THE FIRST PART OF THIS AU!!
pairing: BEN x GN!Reader
summary: After arriving at Mr. Mann’s Manor of Frights, you decide to go to the arcade.
contains: arcade stuff, mini date
warnings: reader gets kinda hurt, I don’t know how to describe games right
word count: 1.5k
masterlist
a.n: this is not a Benjaman Lawman fanfic, I am writing for the AI BEN. I use the ben drowned tags for exposure.
“I want to go to the arcade,” you say excitedly. You’ve heard and seen how huge this place was, you can’t even begin to imagine having an arcade in your house. Your friends nod and tell you that they’ll be heading to the haunted experiences.
Something in the air feels electric as you pass through the crowds of people and scare-actors. As you approach the entrance to the arcade, the environment is livelier and more upbeat than the rest of the manor. The contrast was a little funny. At the other end of that hallway, you just came from, they put so much effort into making the place look so spine-chilling. Here, in the entrance of the arcade, there were a few bat and spider-shaped wall decals. The lighthearted atmosphere drew you in, and you were excited to spend most of your time there.
A foldable table, draped with an eye-catching orange tablecloth with print of back pumpkins, sits beside the entrance. The table has a short line in front, where two guys were trading coins for tickets. They both seemed to be dressed like Link from the Legend of Zelda games – though the taller one had a lazier execution than the other. But your face would meet the floor before you even got in.
You barely registered that a fake skeleton had tumbled from its perch and crashed down directly on top of you. Your reflexes worked faster than your brain did, and you used your hands to stop you from fully faceplanting. The sound of plastic bones rattling and the startled gasps of nearby guests have you begging for any higher power to help you melt into the carpet. As the embarrassment washes over you, someone pushes the skeleton off you and grabs your arm.
“Hey, you okay?” You look up to see that the taller employee was now helping you up.
You try to look grateful, and not as if you want to die as he places his hands on your shoulders and inspects you. His blue eyes roam over you, blonde brows pinching together in concern. You blink, realizing that he was expecting you to reply.
“Uh,” you stammer. “Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine.”
He lets out a sigh of relief, dropping his hands from your shoulder to run one through his hair, stopping at his neck. “How bad of a lawsuit is this gonna be?”
You can tell that he’s joking from the flicker of humor dancing in his eyes.
“Just 30 billion dollars,” you say as seriously as you can muster, and his features twitch into a look of shock. When you laugh, he seemed to relax into a laugh of his own.
He scratches at the back of his neck as a thought passed through his head. Neither of you notice as the teenager who was helping hand out coins strolls over. The blonde man before you seems to only be focused on you - somehow managing to hold eye contact even when his cheeks are turning a light pink.
“Uh, so,” he starts, trying to sound casual as he clears his throat. “Okay, how about I just let you go into the arcade. For free.”
As he flashes you a hopeful smile, his counterpart crosses his arms.
He scoffs, raising an eyebrow and casting an unimpressed scowl. “Dude, you can’t just give her free –“
“Shhh, don’t mess this up for me, man,” he says as he interrupts the boy with a hand almost bumping into his nose, and the man’s eyes are still locked on you. He’s unbothered by the protest, being entirely captivated by you. “I’ll let you play whatever, I promise.”
“Sure,” you giggle, taken aback by the unexpected attention that sparks excitement in you.
“Great,” he breaks out into a grin, his nerves softening. “I’m Ben, by the way.”
“I’m Benji –“
“This isn’t about you,” Ben interrupts him again and grabs your hand.
As Ben walks you over to the entrance of the arcade, he has the biggest smile on his face. He grabs a big bag of coins, and they clink from how quickly he picks it up. Benji continues to argue something behind you two about “rules” and “not wanting to be the only one working.” Ben waves him off as he barely glances back, and his hand feels warm in yours.
The neon blues and greens from the arcade lights draw you in, and the room looks like it’s pulsing. The beeps and electronic music mix with the energetic excitement of the people around. The room had a mix of every era of arcade games – from flat screened racing games to the nostalgic pixelated classics and their chunky buttons. Ben holds up the bag of coins with a victorious look, and the air suddenly feels a competitive shift.
“It’s free reign, dude,” he says as he places a couple coins in the palm of your hand. “I’m warning you though. I’m kind of a pro.”
“Really?” You give him a skeptical look, pocketing the coins.
“Yes, really,” he sounds too smug for your liking, and you make a very determined goal to wipe the floor with that egotistical little smirk of his. “You pick first.”
You suppress an eyeroll and scan the area. Maybe if you picked air hockey, you could use it as an excuse to throw projectiles at him. But, no, you wanted to be nice to the person that let you in for free. Even if you think he wouldn’t mind having a black eye from the puck. Your eyes land on an old-school shooting game and you tug on the sleeve of his hoodie in that direction. He looks down at your hand for a moment, his eyes lighting up, and he follows you without a word.
You slip a few coins into the machine and pick up a neon orange gun and try out a few test shots. As the game begins, you slip into zombie-fighting mode. Your heart races as you take aim and fire at the targets, keeping your pace as the images flash on screen. You steal a quick glance in his direction, and the intense look of determination on his face has you taken aback. Snapping your attention back onto the screen, you realize that no amount of skill you possess could beat the way he seems to effortlessly rack up points. It was kind of hot. But you were too competitive to let him win all night.
Despite all your efforts, the screen flashes your score to be respectably high, but much lower than Ben’s. He places the gun down with a confident ease and turns to you.
“Not bad,” he drawls.
“Oh, we’re not done,” you chuckle dryly, and he smirks. You want to keep up the act of being annoyed, but it’s impossible not to smile when he offers his hand for a high five and looks at you like an excited puppy.
“Didn’t think so.”
After a few rounds of different games around the arcade, you can’t tell if he’s going easy on you. Sometimes you win, sometimes he does easily. But each game is filled with laughter and light jabs, making the losses seem insignificant. One thing you’re certain of, though: the times he loses or even falters, it’s because he was sneaking glances at you. You’d call him out on it if you weren’t doing the same thing. Finally, he stops in front of a two-player fighting game.
“This one’s my favorite,” he gives the side of the arcade machine two loving pats.
You each choose your character, and the game begins. As your fingers hover over the buttons, you brace yourself for the most fast-paced game you’ve ever played. This being Ben’s favorite game told you that it would be nearly impossible to win. And you were right, for the most part. You basically had to abuse the poor buttons to keep up with the heavy blows he dealt with you. Even then, you were somehow keeping up with him, pulling off moves you didn’t even know you could do.
But since it was Ben’s favorite game, he figured he could slack off a little to watch you. He had played this game for hours, even forcing his siblings to play with him. His name had been on the score board for years. But he was too confident, it seemed. Because every few seconds, he would glance in your direction, barely paying attention to the game. Looking at you made his heart feel like it was fluttering. The way the screen illuminated your features, the concentrated furrow in your forehead, and the way your tongue poked out from between your pretty lips captivated him.
“K.O.,” the machine announced.
What? Ben shakes his head as he looks back at the screen. He watches the way your character shifts back and forth in that idle animation, while his fighter lies defeated on the floor. You let out a little cheer, half in disbelief.
“Holy shit,” he laughs, his jaw dropping a slightly. He couldn’t even be a little upset. Not when you were smiling at him like that. “C’mon, I wasn’t even trying.”
“We can do another round,” you offer playfully, shrugging like you were sure you could easily do it again. “I think I can kick your ass again.”
“If you win again,” he starts, pressing on a red button for a rematch. “I’ll let you do whatever you want to me.”
And, with that, the two of you ended up playing almost the entire night.

the people suggesting both a wandering one and a stationary one are right! that works too, even better; it would be a lil strang for the smiths to set up shop all alone in usually rather uninhabited areas after all (dont want them to be too close to stables) so theres a main shop with the 'master' smiths that can do all the previously mentioned things and they have helpers that walk around the shop, somehwat similar to how terri (engl beedle) does around stables
the helpers sell you some arrowtypes and perhaps some simple weapons that are easy to carry, while the masters can repair and craft much more, theres other NPCs that do deliveries for the shops you can meet on the streets and they will tell you were to find the next smith, but cant sell to you since its a paid for delivery
yeah no of course i cant stop trying still ...
currently trying to get out of the mindset -draw what could be popular- by designing some rough ideas for the weapons shops in the new totk rewrite (fuse isnt a thing here)
to explain; during the first part (before villain rauru reveal and change to shiekah arm) the way to repair or craft weapons is with a new type of NPCs; they are smiths that can repair your weapons, craft them, and have some avaible to buy (mostly for arrows but also small selection of weapons), it costs material and some money, or if you dont have the material/all material, it costs more money but is still doable, price depending on how valuable or hard to get the material is you dont want to spend on it
then after the switch to the sheikah arm and zelda taking on the role of your permanent companion, she can both repair and craft as well (might be limited but expandable with quests, as in that zelda learns more skills- so theres new quests after the switch and you cant just do everything before that) with the difference that you need to have the required materials but it costs no money
this would mean that while no giant change before and after the halfway point of the game, it is definitely different feeling, plus its a convenience that is good to have in the second half but shouldnt be sorely missed in the first, the difference between NPC smith and zelda gives you the option to spend material or money- so you arent forced to grind anything if you need either for something else, plus new quest rewards for the second half and new points of interest in general, similar to a stable but not too close so theres still an element of exploration; they arent super frequent but around the map of the surface enough that you can reasonably reach one in each region (perhaps after aquiring the yiga as allies/or before that in disguise they can do the same for you but are only found in the underground)
it would also allow for more diverse gameplay, if your favorite weapon is about to break (it might not fully disappear but if you use it up it would go into a condition like the master sword when its lost its power, not usable or doing tiny amount of damage, but not gone forever if you accidentally use it too much-) you can decide to throw it away or keep it until you find the next smith, depending on if you already found one and see you are close or havent yet, or spend the material if you have it to instantly repair it
(i havent decided yet if rauru might be willing to repair your weapons, but not to craft them since he lacks the skill (would never admit to it) and he only wants to give you just enough support to enable you to do what he wants you to do- i think that might work better bc its still a difference to zelda, since she can craft too, but not too much so that you would feel like the games forcing you to use the smiths in the first half ... possibly its unlocked with one of the enigma stones, when rauru can claim he is able to do that now bc it lets him recover some of his strength)
what im wondering now, which is a bit important i think, is .. should the smiths be wandering around a set path or have a lil stationary shop? if they wander around it would make it a bit more depending on situation of you wanna use them, but bears the risk of making it annoying if you dont know here they are or happen to be too far away and a lil weird bc should have something to work on there, like an anvil, which would be a lil strange to carry around; a lil shop could potentially turn into a location you keep teleporting back and forth though im leaning towards the shop; you could make helping them build it a quest too, or saving them from monsters? overall i think this idea is a rather nice balance
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#ganondoodles rewrites totk#this honestly works rly well imo#like it feels right at home in botws world#like with fuse in canon totk i found it so annoying that it still breaks just the same#but now you break both weapon and material#the basic weapons are useless unless you fuse it#and the most valuable stuff to fuse to your weapon also still counts as regualr meterial#which is so dumb bc you will need it for other upgrades#they could have at least made it so theres two categories#like stuff for weapons that just isnt used as a material you need for armor upgrades#all in the name of freeeeedooooooom#yeah its funny to stick a mushroom on a stick or whatever but ... is it really worth it?#anyway i also hate that in canon you cant find weapons that are just cool and useful bc you need to fuse it all#which sucks#i like having porperly designed weapons#this is all like my fix for all that annoyed me in the cnaon game#plus trying to incorporate it more into the world#like ok you can fuse weapons#but you are telling me no one else in totks world can forge a new one?? or stick them together either???#and the fact that gans miasma can just slightly rust every single weapon there is is just so#both stupid and funny#why didnt he poison all people then#if he can reach into their stables to make their pitchforks rusty ..?#anyway im ranting in the tags

Merlinverse Interactions Game
Hey, y'all! So I had an idea for a fun little community-building exercise for the Merlinverse, just to help us all interact and get more familiar with each other and our OCs.
Basically, this link will take you to a site where you spin two wheels, one with an interaction prompt and the other with the name of a Merlinverse OC. You can then either make a post about how you think the interaction will play out (can be a short-fic, drabble, general thoughts, headcanons, whatever you want), or you can chat to the creator of that Merlin and have fun discussing the idea with them (you don't have to post a summary of the Merlins' interaction, but I think it'd be fun to see). You can participate even if your Merlin isn't on the wheel, though if you'd like them to be added feel free to reach out.
To make these interactions easier to find please use the tags #merlinverse, #merlinverse interactions and the tags for the ocs involved in any post you make (tags under cut).
Rules:
Be respectful of your fellow creators, don't harass anyone.
Be mindful that the person you're chatting to may be busy and unable to respond quickly.
No NSFW or sensitive topics unless you and the person you're chatting to have BOTH agreed to it (please add the appropriate warnings to your post too).
Just have fun!
Participating Merlins:
Sena (@bunnybird-afk, #magister sena) Celestino (@meepinmeat, #magister celestino) Violyste (@magister-violyste, #magister violyste) Pirin (@yohohonabottle, #pirin, #magister pirin) Molpe (@mcnana, #magister molpe) Zelda (@fgfirenation, #magister zelda) Starhawk (@fujimomozane, #magister merlin starhawk) Lavinia (@windmaedchen-oceanhorn, #dame lavinia) Rose (@afkhowstrange, #magister rose) Scylla (@confusedeldritch, #magister scylla) DK (@gloriousrebirth, #magister dk)
Feel free to let me know if you have any prompt ideas, want me to change your Merlin's tag, or if you want your Merlin added to the wheel.

Thank You For 100 followers!
This is a huge milestone for our archives and I can't thank you enough for the support! There are a couple of things we need to get in order, but it was promised that at 100 followers the official community name polls would run. Since we are in the middle of TBR BINGO still, we're going to let that challenge run its course before any polls go out to avoid confusion with reaching out to winners. But after that's settled, an official post will release. In the meantime, a quick list of questions on the polls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are the polls for?
There are two polls that will go out: the community name (currently Expanding Hyrule) and the community tag (currently Original Legends). While both current options will be on the list as vote choices, both will have their own poll.
Why are there two votes?
Expanding Hyrule currently has a narrowed inclusion of works in order to help define a common community tag for this type of work. This blog is also archival, which means while we think all of the works in this list are great, it does not serve as a technical "recommendation list" because works are included only on the detail of being Original Legends. And since we currently have exclusions to that list where there are some niche overlaps (Links Meet, prequels/sequels, etc), we want to make sure that there is no implication that Expanding Hyrule "owns" the tag we use. It is meant to be used by the broader community, we're just the definition point.
Are you still taking suggestions for names?
We are! We will accept suggestions for names until the polls run. I will keep the below lists up to date with all suggestions sent to us either via DMs, ask, suggestion box, or on our Discord. The lists are currently as following:
For community name:
Expanding Hyrule (current)
Expanding Hyrule Historia
Unsung Heroes
Unsung Hyrules
Extending Hyrule
For tag name:
Original Legends (current)
OC Link/Zelda/Ganon(dorf)
OG Link/Zelda/Hyrule
tloz fan story
Thank you all again so much for the support! We're continuing on into 2025 with the promise of connecting y'all to even more Original Legends, or whatever we end up calling them.

here are some extra, more specific scenarios ive been thinking about since posting this. (a bit sloppier since these are less prompts and more… spitballing ideas, i suppose)
both ganondorf and linebeck hate hyrule. this can lead to whatever you want
ganondorf is just minding his business and linebeck is pining big time. the inverse is also an option
some kind of scenario in which for whatever reason linebeck is the evil one and ganondorf is a part of that in some form (doesnt know - does know - is opposed - is helping)
linebeck is really good at getting into situations where he can and will get hurt and ganondorf is fairly protective of him
similarly, ganondorf ends up in a fair few dangerous situations and linebeck does his best to get him out of those situations without getting too hurt
linebeck wants ganondorf to teach him (most likely dangerous) magic
ganondorf wants linebeck to teach him how to sail (bonus points for seasick ganondorf)
link is present in some way shape or form for linebeck and ganondorf being into each other
their relationship is a secret and all of the shenanigans that can come from that
Different flavors of Ganonbeck
Aka different dynamics and basic ship premises I’ve come up with for this stupid little crackship that has slowly consumed me ever since I discovered it.
Basically this is just a list of nebulous dynamics and premises and ideas (prompts?) I’ve come up with specifically for Ganondorf/Linebeck. Essentially, they’re each different ideas for varying backgrounds and setups and… whatever with the two characters.
Keep reading
#loz#legend of zelda#ganonbeck#linebeck#ganondorf#self reblog#linebeck being the evil one sounds like a weird idea but im unhinged enough about him to have multiple aus where hes a major antagonist#across my current fic ideas linebeck is an antagonist more often than ganondorf#its funny#anyways a secret dynamic is a ganondorf/linebeck/ghirahim polycule#its fun to think about linebeck constantly fucking around and finding out and ganondorf exhausted but endearingly saving his sorry ass#anyways the idea of linebeck getting into magic is tied to my discovery of the concept art for male dark mages in fire emblem awakening#its a good design. i think about linebeck w/ that outfit a lot#fragile but dangerous dark mage linebeck and sturdy and powerful dark knight (mounted magic user with sword) ganondorf is fe ganonbeck#ive been playing a lot of fire emblem recently its on the mind. engage is good and also allows me to be gay#anyways. also the idea of some flavor of thief linebeck + ganondorf. like ganondorf is still royalty or whatever but linebeck is more of#a thief rather than a sailor for whatever reason. a good au idea i think. i think i use this setup for one of my aus#only a few bullet points this time but eh. theyre a little more specific. + my usual tag-exclusive ramblings#salty talks
