[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

just out of curiosity – why do you like sukugo??

i've just never seen any of the accounts i follow/my mutuals celebrate this pairing so i'm really curious!

:))))))))) i smiled so wide getting this ask anon. PLS DON’T BE ALARMED just take my hand and let me tell you abt two deeply violent homoerotic men….

okay so when it comes to sukugo i just. ADORE their dynamic and relationship. it’s one of my favorites in the entire manga and i truly think akutami COOKED with it . not only the shinjuku fight itself (which is, ofc, what sold me on the ship) but also the foreshadowing beforehand!!! like sukuna telling gojo that he’ll be the first one he kills��. the two of them making the same kind of pose in their respective volume covers (vol. 4 & 14….. another parallel which is even more devastating when you remember that the number four is associated with death in japan)….. both of them being referred to as ”the strongest.”

i actually didn’t pick up on a lot of it until we got to shinjuku!! but i just think akutami teased at their importance to each other so well and so early on.

WITH THAT BEING SAID . their dynamic. their parallels. yes. they’re both the strongest and the most isolated and those two things are synonymous. it ties into one of the most central themes of jjk that equates absolute strenght to absolute solitude — it’s a kind of curse. a curse and a blessing. and they both have it.

the main difference is that gojo knows what it’s like to be understood and loved — but sukuna doesn’t. so he can’t feel lonely. he’s never known what it’s like to not be alone. but gojo has!!! gojo has felt love and felt what it’s like to be understood, and when geto died a part of him died too. he’ll always be lonely. he’s the loneliest character in the series. and when he looks at sukuna he sees the exact same isolation that’s plagued him since the moment he was born. so what does he do about it?

he tries to teach sukuna about love.

^ and THAT’S . the most delicious dynamic ever. i take no criticism. i’ll die on the hill that this concept and their dynamic is one of the absolute highlights of jjk. it’s so GOOD. it’s so insanely good. gojo wants to teach sukuna about love/cure him from his solitude by killing him. and vice versa. it’s inherently violent and inherently tender and it makes me INSANE. to me that’s the greatest appeal of sukugo!!!! violence as tenderness is a trope very near and dear to my heart (and also VERY frequently associated w queer subtext in media…. just putting that out there……) and they do it so good. they have a blast killing each other.

also i just NEED to say how much i love the ”teach you about love” line. it’s one of my favorites in the manga and akutami utilizes it so well!! he repeats it over and over as foreshadowing and to build up the sukugo dynamic. the final reveal that gojo is ”the one who will teach [sukuna] about love” made me weep (even though it was so obvious)…. it’s just so deeply. idk. it just says so much about gojo as a character :(( the fact that he wanted to teach sukuna about love. i’ve seen some people who think that part is ooc but i disagree completely!! gojo has never concerned himself w the morals of others. not really. toji kills riko but gojo still has a respect for him and allows him to say his final words. he never hated geto despite his crimes. he supports yuji fully no matter how many people die because of him. etcetc. same with all his students.

gojo looks at sukuna and sees someone who is just as alone as he is. so deeply, deeply alone. him wanting to change that is not ooc in the slighest because that’s quite literally what drives gojo as a character:

he’s just such a genuinely good person at his core. and it coexists with the way he sometimes disregards morality. this is a hot take but i genuinely think gojo’s character blossomed fully in his battle with sukuna….. i don’t see him as ooc in it at all. he genuinely wanted to reach sukuna!! he knew he was the only one who could even hope to do so. and he tried his best.

and, i would argue that he succeeded.

SEGWAY TIMEEEEEEEEE LET’S GO. okay so let’s talk abt one of my favorite panels in the jjk manga, the panel that solidified sukugo as one of my favorite pairings Of All Time:

(two diff translations bc i love them both :3)

THIS. wow. wow. wow. i could talk abt this panel alone for hours and hours but i’ll try to be coherent……

there’s just? so much meaning to be found here??? for both of them????? not only is it a fundamental moment for gojo — being praised and acknowledged and accepted as himself rather than the strongest — but it’s also proof that gojo did reach sukuna!!! he’ll remember him forever. sukuna will never fully be entirely isolated because even millenia into the future he’ll still remember gojo. gojo nestled his way into sukuna’s heart.

and that’s just . so romantic isn’t it???? so beautiful???????? this is the culmination of gojo’s efforts; the most genuine expression we’ve ever seen on sukuna’s face. he actually looks happy.

i cried seeing that panel btw 😭😭 not a joke!! i was already crying when i started chapter 236 bc i knew how it’d end but this panel (+ the one w geto cheering gojo on in his cult leader fit) made me SOB. not exaggerating. i’ve never cried so much reading a manga… T_T

so!!!! yeah. i just love sukugo. their dynamic is so interesting and beautiful and i can never get enough of it. sometimes i love it more than stsg… don’t tell geto that though……..

[annierosaart]

So I recently found your blog and you Exusiai theory and I'm in love with it, I really hope it becomes canon, is just so good and Exu is one of my fav charas I need more stuff with her on it on the main game.

Anyways, I've been playing on and off AK for the past yrs and I'm def lost when it comes to most of the story since it's a lot to catch up to, so can you explain more in-depth the Flammetta/Exusiai ship or at least relationship/parallelisms?

OH BOY CAN I

After the confirmation that Exusiai isn't connected to the other Sankta in Il Siracusano, it explained her entire character.

As I've explained in the post I made about her being disconnected originally, it always stood out to me how Exusiai specifically was treated differently from other Sankta in Laterano during her childhood and teenage years, despite the fact that she's supposedly a bog standard Sankta. From her being constantly mistreated and ditched not just by Mostima but by her sister also (see her Oprec 1),

To the fact she was constantly blamed for things that were legitimate accidents, the kind of stuff that happens on purpose in Laterano every single day, to the point where her word was doubted and she was accused of being a Sarkaz, it paints an extremely lonely and alienating picture of her.

It's especially odd that her own family and supposed childhood friend would do shit like that to her, given the fact that at the time, they should've known that it was upsetting for her to go through that, seeing as the Empathy would've made it hard for her to hide that. (oprec 1) And it'd be extremely out of character for Lemuen to do things like that, considering her intense love for her sister...

Combined with being grilled for lying by her superiors, which again, would be difficult for a Sankta connected to the Empathy... You see what I'm getting at?

She isn't connected to other Sankta. Never has been. From the start, her files and dialogue mention her being an exception amongst Sankta, unique, different. Guide Ahead showed us they're all similar to her in personality, however, so what exactly sets her apart? It's that.

Exusiai has multiple lines, in CoB, IL Siracusano, and her dialogues that show how deeply lonely she actually is, and how ACTUALLY empathetic she is; real empathy, not Sankta Empathy.

She threw herself into the Rat King's sandstorm for Mostima and Bison, she always remembered to keep an eye on him and keep him up to date, taking time to ease his worries and doubts. She always looks out for everyone else in PL, canonically being broke from doing so all the time. She risked her life to save a woman that was being harassed in IL Siracusano, despite not knowing her at all.

This isn't normal Sankta behavior. Sankta, even the ones at RI, are generally somewhat cold or indifferent to non Sankta. Arene, Ambriel, Executor... The only exception is Enforcer, who we know isn't connected as well.

Exusiai grew up socially and emotionally isolated, enough that no one ever gave her closure for the Andoain incident, despite the fact she has literal PTSD from it (oprec 1), no one ever got along with her really, to the point where her classmates celebrated her leaving to her face...

She hides it in front of others, but several lines show her actually being very tired, serious, and depressed, especially when they bring up a personality quirk of hers.

Promotion 2 - "Leader... No, savior, I pledge to this gun in my hand to protect you until the very end of this world." Talk after Trust Increase 2 - "If you ever run into an angel with black horns oozing ominous vibes, please tell her for me: I've never forgotten her." Idle - "...Lord, is this someone we gotta save too?"

All of which parallels stuff with Fiammetta:

From the offset, Fiammetta is by default isolated from her peers, being a Liberi in Laterano.

She grew up inherently different from a majority of people there, and as we see in Guide Ahead, though she tries to hide it, especially from other Liberi, she developed a complex over it.

It's especially evident when she snaps at Mostima, ranting about the Empathy between Sankta, complaining about how alienating it is to her, how it hurts her to not be understood. It's further elaborated on in her module's text, where we see her struggling to handle a gun that Sankta her age were already handling with ease, clearly frustrated enough by the fact that her mentor had to come and offer an alternative.

Beyond that, like Exusiai puts on a front but just wants people to tell her things for once, who's always been kept in the dark about not just events but also what other Sankta are feeling, Fiammetta is constantly isolated from her peers' feelings and motivations, ignored and brushed aside. It's constant in Guide Ahead, how her input and presence are secondary to whatever asinine conversation the Sankta are having, even in the middle of a crisis.

Her wants and needs are secondary, she's constantly forced to put up with titles she despises and finds humiliating, mockeries of her while she tries to do her job seriously...

Just like how Exusiai is consistently made fun of for any mistake she makes, even when others have a hand in that mistake. By PL itself no less. She laughs it off, but in exchanges with Bison, she clearly shows how bothered she is by being shrugged off or treated with a lack of care. She wants to be understood and taken seriously. But it never happens.

Fiammetta is exactly the same, constantly chasing a desire to be taken seriously as a member of the Notarial Hall, to have her feelings heard. But it never happens.

As a Liberi, she's inherently not a part of the connection all other Sankta have (with exceptions). They can't understand her. Nor do they bother to. It infuriates her, but what else can she do? What else is there to do? From birth, she was different from them, not the same as them, her weapons are a constant reminder... As is Exusiai's lack of connection to others an unconscious reminder to her.

And it all culminates in the Lock and Key incident. Both of them have been deeply traumatized by it, and whilst Fiammetta is at least more in the know than Exusiai, neither are ever offered the closure they need, the closure that would help them move on. Despite both being close to the people involved, they're kept in the dark.

Instead, they're made to stew in their feelings, made to feel left out on purpose one way or another, never allowed the proper right to live past that event. Both are obsessed with that day. Both desperately want to know what happened, what set it all off, WHY it happened.

But they never find out. They're forced to keep living in the dark while their friends and family are whiling, creating purpose beyond that day.

They're both women who were hurt by an incident that they were never allowed closure on, despite involving people they loved. They're both women who have been isolated and alienated from everyone else, becoming extremely lonely and distant all the while. Exusiai doesn't let anyone in, doesn't open up. Texas says as much.

Exusiai is my polar opposite. She seems to get along fine with anyone, but lets very few people close to her. —Texas

Fiammetta won't let anyone else in. Bottles her feelings until they explode. Because no one will hear anyway. No one will care. So why should she?

They're hurt. They're scarred and tired of being the only ones left out of the loop. Of the inside joke. Of the joy and folly every other Sankta is privy to.

They both value choices, independence, yet are bound to their past traumas. That they'll face one day. They both try to move on, but they can't. Exusiai still chases Mostima whenever she appears for answers she won't give, Fiammetta still chases Andoain for a revenge that won't quell her.

They're both obsessed with getting closure that the world's denied them.

And with Exusiai's surprisingly deeply kind nature, genuinely empathetic and sympathetic to others, to hear them out, and Fiammetta's insistence on confronting things head on, on not moving past them, and her deep down caring interior... They could heal a lot with each other. Love without compromise.

Beyond these thematic and story parallels, the two have a lot of miscellaneous ones too.

Their talents complement each other, Exusiai covers Fiammetta's health drain, allowing her to fight with more strength for longer.

Their physical scores are complementary, Exusiai covering Fiammetta's weakness in tactical acumen, and Fiammetta covering her lack of physical endurance respectively

Their descriptions are both about their dedication and willpower to see things through to the end.

Obsessions with protecting people (Exusiai's codename actually comes from Powers, the Angel class said to protect people and prevent evils from happening)

Hell, Exusiai's third skin replaces her blessing effects with a blue glow, complementary to Fia's red, and blue feathers. Sankta don't have feathers, so...

Their record medal descriptions match.

And finally...

Fiammetta is usually tolerant of Mostima's personality, even going along with it at times. But the moment Exusiai is involved, she becomes extremely impatient, and protective. Much more so than she logically should be at times.

With the context that she's been watching Mostima and essentially bugged her to hear in on her, she had to witness her leading Exusiai on all night, giving her false hope for an answer that wouldn't come.

Only for her to caress her sleeping and drunk form, as if they were still that close. With the knowledge they both parallel each other a ton, she might see herself in her...

Fiammetta's face shows way more contempt than expected, and her dialogue following this shows way less tolerance for Mostima, in spite of the fact that Exusiai is sound asleep and wouldn't hear them.

In Mostima's own record, Fia suddenly cares about Exusiai's feelings, about it being fair or not to her...

And firmly says she won't let Exusiai ever get wrapped up in the Lock and Key business, her face becoming more serious. Again, extremely protective of someone that at best, she knew as an acquaintance when they were both younger.

Fiammetta cares about Exusiai to an unnatural degree, hinting at either shared history that's not brought up, or that she relates to her, and she can't ignore that.

And if Exusiai talked to Fiammetta now, she'd likely find that same relatability, that same pain they've both been enduring, that they cope with in different ways.

Exusiai drowns herself in a carefree 'mask', drinks until she's blackout drunk often, is enough of a workaholic to fall asleep at PL's couch and compulsively spends money on others.

Fiammetta destroys herself with work, with fighting, burning herself out as she fires off attacks, obsessing and following Mostima around for the slimmest chance that Andoain might show up again...

They both need healing. Healing only the other could provide.

Fiammetta's friends/partners/exes are condescending towards her, don't try to truly get why this plagues her, even after Guide Ahead. PL can't help Exusiai, not only do they have their own problems, they can't relate at all; Texas has a mountain of baggage to work through herself.

They'd find solace, comfort in one another... Both things they desperately need.

Are there any other MCU ships you like?

A lot, actually! I know I post a lot of Sambucky, but I do have other (pretty generic) ships I like, namely Romanogers, PalmerStrange and so on.

Danbeau (Carol x Maria)

Thorbruce

Shuriri

Valcarol

PeterMJ

...

I do like Ironstrange and some other, more minor ships as well, but usually only when they get canon content (cough hyper-fixation cough).

Other Sam-related ships I follow are Samsteve and SamT'Challa. And the mixes of said ships (Samstevebucky etc.)

I also have a strong opinion about Stucky, mainly because of the toxicity of the fandom. The ship is cute in and of itself, and I love the abundance of fanwork, but the fans are a little too extreme to really get me into it.

Thanks for the ask! Both of my blogs' askbox is always open for questions, requests and chatting! (pls talk to me i'm lonely)

Hear me out on this..... Picky x Bubba x Bobby... (can I get some headcanons of them pls)

OH- POLY RELATIONSHIP HEADCANON. AKUYFGBSOUFGSOUGOWQUIGBEB- OKAY YEY!!!

*cracks knuckles*

I GOTCHU, BESTIE. I GOTCHU!

🍎📘❤️🍎📘❤️🍎📘❤️🍎📘❤️🍎📘❤️🍎📘❤️🍎📘❤️🍎

is it just me or I'd picture Picky and Bobby being outskirts/country people while Bubba would be a city boy.

These three are the epitome of if one needs something, the other two deliver. For example:

If Pickypiggy is hungry, Bobby would cook while Bubba helps out with reading the recipes' instructions.

If Bobby is feeling rather lonely (due to my latest headcanon saying she has attachment issues), Picky would inquire a picnic date with the three of them while Bubba is going to rambles about the new subject he has been investigating about.

If Bubba is having a hard time trying to solve a math problem, these two dumdums would try to join all their brain cells in trying to help. Which, at the end of the day, didn't help a lot. BUT. It surely owned a very laughs for the elephant.

corny/romance lover x bookworm lover x food lover.

They better have a club talk about their favourite things.

OH. THIS IS A GOOD HEADCANON HEAR ME OUT. Bobby is obviously a sucker for chocolate. It represents valentine, the matter of sweetness, and it's enjoyable to taste. But since Picky is the one in charge of the nutrition and Bubba is the smartass of the entire group, they both gotta be scolding her for her bad habits. She never grows out of it, so it becomes an ongoing shenanigans between the three of them.

Kickin is SHOCKED beyond thought to see Bubba pulling up two girls at the same time before he ever could LMAO.

What their date would be like? The movie theater obviously! There's food, there's corny romance and there's science fiction. THEY ARE GOING THERE IF THEY GET THE CHANCE!

I usually think Picky would be rather dismissive of the thought that she is considered pretty. Not like she is insecure about herself, but rather she has never really thought of herself highly like that. So whenever anyone like Bobby or Bubba compliments her, she usually says "Eeeh, I mean, I guess? But not really." Which THAT. OH THAT. THAT GETS THEIR ATTENTION INSTANTLY. I swear, they'd be taking care of Picky the MINUTE she says that.

Kickin: "NO, SERIOUSLY! What do you see on Wikipedia wanna be?!"

*Bobby and Picky paused, looked at each other and said at the same time*

Bobby: "He knows how to read romantic novels!"

Pickypiggy: "He knows how to cook"

I got a feeling the three of them love fantasy novels. Especially Little Red Riding Hood.

they fr are like: "Sure!" + "meh" + "well theoretically speaking..."

You know what would be funny? If Bobby one day decides to give some Valentine cards to both Bubba and Picky, but the thing is that it's in a poem. So then you got Bubba trying to figure out through re-reading Shakespeare to comprehend whatever the hell this letter is about. And while Picky? Oh, that girl only read the first part, accidentally read something along the lines of "you're so sweet" and came to the conclusion that it was edible paper. So yup. She ate it. The whole thing.

this isn't a headcanon of this ship. But talking about Picky eating stuff, I'm wondering if all the Smiling Critters are bound to be vegan. And if not, oh boy, who are we gonna tell Picky about bacon...

ROUND 4: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (How To Train Your Dragon)/Jack Frost (Rise of the Guardians) VS Dimentio (Super Paper Mario)/Jevil (Deltarune)

Propaganda for Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III/Jack Frost:

i dont personally ship them but i know there are people who still do (and i found out abt rise of the brave tangled dragons stuff when i was young but i never got into it) so i'm just submitting this for fun and bc it's kinda cute lol

Worried and uptight x Laidback prankster. They compliment each other so well!!! Jack helps Hiccup relax and not die of a heart attack from worring too much, and Hiccup makes Jack take things seriously when needed. Prep x Jock!!!! Sun x moon!!!! Blessed be the ships from Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons (Rotbtd)

They're silly!! Hiccup's sarcasm and compassion pairs well with Jack's fun. That and Hiccup often tries to befriend everyone and Jack is incredibly lonely, they would be friends pretty quickly. Jack's whole origin involves the fact that nobody perceived or believed in him for a good 300 years before the events of the movie take place, but Hiccup if I remember correctly is pretty involved with folklore and legends and the like. He'd probably believe in Jack's existence which could lead to them meeting While Jack is kind of bitter in the beginning, we mostly just see him snarking the other spirits, since they're able to see him and just don't like him. The way he treats people and kids, however, is very different; he's all smiles and games even if they have no idea he's there! So I think Jack would be pretty friendly towards Hiccup, who had been previously bullied by literally everyone his age, which would be a VERY nice change of pace for him Idk. I think they would get along and maybe fall in love a little!!! They're just neat

Law's Cora-san nightmares

Part of the reason Trafalgar Law didn't get much sleep was because of his noisy new friend, the Straw Hat captain.

Well-it wasn't really his problem-or fault,anyways...the easily excitable rubber boy was always sneaking in to hold Law in his sleep.

Although even if Luffy wasn't sleep-walking,he'd come anyways,saying his Torao was "lonely" or "cold",both terrible excuses for the simple fact that Mugiwara-ya was touch starved,almost as much as Trafalgar himself.

But unfortunately for our grumpy captain...Luffy didn't often leave him alone...surprisingly enough for Law,he kind of missed Luffy,who wasn't there for once,having gone to pester Sanji,who immediately knew something was off when he went to go check on Law.

From within the slightly open cabin,muffled sobs could be heard,Law himself tossing and turning in his sleep...this was unusual since Luffy was usually there to wake Law from his nightmares,but that idiot,Sanji remembered,had gone to stuff his face.

Worried,Sanji hesitantly stepped in,hoping Trafalgar didn't shout at him. Law seemed to be muttering something, when Sanji stepped closer,he caught "C-Cora-san....pl-please come back" Law sobbed again,flipping over to face Sanji. "I need you...pl-please come back" muttered Law,more quietly this time.

A chill ran up Sanji's spine.

His compatriot had nightmares of his past as well-Luffy had never told him this information...and Sanji felt compelled to help his grumpy friend while Luffy was off pigging out.

Sanji shook Law for a moment, hoping he wasn't about to have his heart forcefully removed as he did so.

Nothing happened, Law's familiar tired gaze finally meeting Sanji's when he sat up with a start "Sanji-ya...what are you doing here? And where's Mugiwara-ya?"

Sanji sighed and told him the truth, rolling his own bluish grey eyes as he slowly removed his hand from Law's shoulder.

"Tch...how predictable. " sneered Law half-heartedly,laying back with a soft thump and staring at the shadowy ceiling.

Sanji hesitated for a moment before reaching to take Law's tattooed hand and stroking the A for a while "I'm guessing this Cora-san was important to you." He murmured,seating himself on the edge of Law's bed ,still holding the latter's hand,who surprisingly didn't pull away,protest,or remove any of Sanji's limbs.

Sanji could tell his friend was thinking of whether or not he should tell the cook the truth, the only sound that could be heard was the waves lapping against the ship as well as a brewing storm somewhere above before Law finally spoke in a low,almost whispery tone.

"Cora-san was like a father to me....he died to save my life even though I tried to kill him."

Sanji blinked in surprise,his fingers brushing softly against Law's knuckles as the latter spoke yet again "I had a disease....he stole from his brother to save my life...that's how I got Ope Ope no mi...and why I want that feathery pink bastard dead."

Law cut himself off,looking away from Sanji, as if afraid to see his expression. It was completely silent in the room, even the waves had quieted as if eager to hear what Sanji would say in response.

The cook was deep in thought by now before slipping his shoes off and pulling Law to lay on top of him "I can stay here, if you want...you're not the only one who gets nightmares about their childhood."

Sanji didn't elaborate and Law didn't ask,merely snaking his arms around Sanji's waist and his head on the cooks chest.

This in itself was a surprise for both males,since one didn't like physical contact and Sanji was usually obsessed with women...and yet it felt so...right.

i've never encountered this ship before and i'm genuinely curious, what would you say is the draw/appeal/lore of takafushi? (and pls dumb it down for a casual manga reader ty)

hi! thank you for your ask, it makes me happy you're curious and i'd love to talk about takafushi w you hehe

for me the main appeal is that takaba and megumi have a very cute, opposites-attract dynamic. megumi is so gloomy and introverted, while also being pretty harsh and nasty at times. whereas takaba is so overtly confident and persistent, but also really insecure and (literally) wears his heart on his sleeve.

takaba regularly goes out of his way to protect/help/put himself in harms way for megumi. and megumi, despite takaba outwardly being a person he wouldn't normally get on with, is willing to ask him for help, treats him with respect and sticks around him (which is basically megumi's cat-like equivalent of liking someone lol).

megumi often finds himself in the orbit of silly fun people (yuuji, nobara, gojo, etc) and takaba is another example of that! i also think its funny to lean into how takaba somehow manages to effortlessly endear and charm the people around him - hazenoki, kenjaku and of course megumi - despite how much they fight it.

PLUS takaba fits into megumi's type of someone with steadfast morals. which is very interesting to me.

in idiot survivor, we learn that takaba was a "gloomy" kid and we know that megumi was one too. they are both lonely characters, and manage that loneliness completely differently -- takaba by making people laugh and megumi by lashing out. they're foils to each other in this respect and i think it adds even more to their dynamic, esp since they were paired up in the culling game.

they have a lot of really fun interactions throughout the manga too! takaba saves megumi when they first meet, takaba tries to search for him after his fight with hazenoki, they have loads of cute interactions in the hotel scene, during the yuuji-hana beef on takaba and megumi are exchanging glances/comments to each other, and when megumi gets taken over by sukuna, takaba tries to run to help him!

and i can't forget my favourite: takaba asking megumi for a kiss!

*EDIT* also, even though the ship doesn't seem super obvious at first, takaba is someone who would be good for megumi. he'd be a positive presence-- making him laugh, giving him stability and that kind of thing.

if you did want to give them a try, there's a small number of takafushi fics on ao3. a lot of them are by me lol, but some other extremely talented authors have written for them too, which i wholeheartedly recommend!!

SORRY this is much longer than i intended and quite rambly! but thank you for asking about them, it made me happy to receive this ask 💗🪶🐺

Falling down - Inside Hyrule series pt. 1

Content: You think being inside the world of your favourite game, Zelda, was the coolest thing ever, but when is time to accompany the hero on his quests and to do everything he does, you realize it may not be that fun anymore and you need a hand, or two.

Author's note: Hi! I thought it'd be fun to make a Y/N fic accompanying Link through his adventures after a weird but cool dream I had. May do more, may not, I'm not sure yet, but pls feel free to send your thoughts. It's been like YEARS since I wrote something online, so please be mindful of that lol.

Y/N. No shipping, simple, cute draft.

Inside Hyrule series is a a series of oneshots, in no particular order, about YOU in the world of Zelda! Just imagine... how it'd be to have adventures with your favourite hero and princess? How it'd be to travel alongside Link? Do not expect a cool, intricate plots, it's just something to help you (and me by writing and imagining it) to relax and have a nice moment.

"This isn't safe," you commented, trying to gather the enough courage to get into murky water.

"It never is," Link never missed a beat. He threw himself to the water below. You sighed and jumped too into the small pool, extending your arms as soon as you fell so Link could help you get out.

"I mean it, you shouldn't be doing this, you just lost an arm," you tell him as you step out of the water. No matter how low you kept your voice in that lonely, dark and silent cave, it was like you were speaking aloud. How come you both always ended in places like that where it seemed like a not a single living soul had been there in centuries?

"You know we can't just stay," he frowned his eyebrows at you. You both continued walking, soaking wet, only to find another platform, this time taller, where to jump at another body of disgusting water. "Zelda is..."

"Don't even start, I was there, I saw it and, yeah, it was awful," you imitated his expression. "But I'm worried about your health and if you'll be able to keep going".

"No need to worry about me, do that for yourself," he smirked before jumping, this time backwards. Although you knew him from years back, and also all his other past lives, you were always taken aback by his endless stamina.

"C'mon," you muttered and jumped again.

After climbing a stone wall and diving one more time, you finally reached a point where you definitely had to stop.

"I'm not doing it," you said. There was another platform to jump from, but this time, the water was down, down below. "How many feet do you think it is?"

"Doesn't matter, we have to jump," he answered, cracking his neck, getting ready.

"Uhm..." you muttered.

"C'mon, when have I ever leave you alone?" Link smiled calmly, reaching his hand to take yours, which you did, pushing your lips together as you looked down. You hoped that pool was deep enough so you wouldn't crash against the dangerous large rocks below.

"I know, I know," you said, before getting ready with him to dive. You expected some sort of pain from hitting the water from that height, but you felt nothing. Without letting go of your hand, Link pulled you to safe land.

"See, it wasn't that bad," he said as he wringed his hair to remove the excess of water.

"I'll give you that," you said, panting a little from the adrenaline and looked around. There were thick roots all over the walls. "We must be under a tree. But... I don't remember any trees this big at the castle," you thought aloud.

Link was listening, also looking around. You were distracted still looking up when he tapped your shoulder.

"Hey, look, there's sunlight over there," he pointed at what seemed a passageway where a scarce light was entering. "Let's go".

Desiring to leave that cryptic cave behind, you both ran quickly to the passageway. Link had been right, it was filled with sunlight and even some birds flew away, scared, out of the way. The exit was right there in front, flanked by stone columns and, in the horizon, the clear blue sky. You didn't notice at first the floor ended a few inches where the passageway ended, distracted by the immensity of the firmament, and you ended up colliding slightly against Link's back, who had stopped suddenly at the absence of where to step.

Looking around, you finally noticed you weren't on land, nor even a tall mountain. The clouds were below you and there was nothing around, except for some floating rocks in what seemed miles and miles away.

"It's a floating island," Link said, almost like reading your mind.

"How the hell are we going to leave this place?" you stuttered. You had a height phobia, this was like out of your worst nightmares. Link tapped with his feet the place where he stood and you recognized what it was: another diving platform. "Oh, no, no, definitely not".

"We've no choice, you know that," he said, turning his head to you.

"I know!" you exclaimed. "But this... this is beyond me".

"I'm not leaving you here if that's what you mean," he raised an eyebrow. "Remember you were so afraid of using the parachute? And now you use it just as fine, this is similar".

"How is this similar? We don't have a parachute to save our asses right now," you complained.

"There must be something below that will protect us".

"Does your weird hero instinct says so?" you mocked him. Link chuckled slightly.

"No, I say so," he answered, jokingly. "Let's do it the old way, shall we? Get on".

You knew that posture. Whenever you had troubles with heights, you'd clung to him in a piggyback and he'll control the parachute, your weight not affecting a bit his control. At the beginning it was kinda embarrassing and it made you feel guilty how often he had to help you, Link made it seem so easy to simply throw yourself at whatever came. You thought that all you did was hold him back, yet he never complained and helped you with a smile on his face.

"We're going to crash into the ground," you stated as you clung to his neck. Link let out a chuckle.

"It'll probably be a very, very soft ground, you'll see," he said as he doubled his knees, getting ready. He sprinted forward and jumped off the platform, not fazed by you clinging to him. For a moment, there was nothing but the covered-in-clouds abysm below and the strong wind that hit your face. You closed your eyes shut, thinking you were taking your lasts breaths. When passing one of the fluffy clouds, you felt a bit of humidity touching your skin.

"For the Goddess, check this out!" Link yelled.

"We're going to die?" you asked. The wind was so strong that you wondered if he heard you, but he replied immediately.

"Not yet!"

You opened your eyes only to see a large mass of land below with a great structure, like a tower, made of stone at north. It was still in the sky, but this one had what it looked like whole ecosystem, a small world, by itself. Just behind the tower, a vast dragon was soaring.

Your eyes now followed the direction of Link's head and you realized that, in a piece of floating land above the great island, there was a large lake. Link changed position with little effort to prepare for a dive.

"Hold your breath!" he yelled and you did as he said, again closing your eyes.

Again, you were surprised that it didn't hurt to hit the water. You let go of Link and floated to a nearby nenuphar to sit on top of it, with your knees at each sides and your ankles crossed together. It was enormous for a plant, and very thick also, enough so also Link could hold to it without sinking it. You removed the water off your face and took a long breath, your heart beating like drums against your chest.

"See? I told you we were going to be fine," Link was smirking smugly again, resting his elbows on the nenuphar while the rest of his body was still in the water.

"I should listen to you more often," you complied, smiling too.

[distant-screaming]

hi dee~~ pls tell me about your favorite ship (or one of them if u don’t have just one)!! what do u like about them, favorite moments, any au/headcanons for them, etc

hi hi mint!! giggling and kicking my feet at our sleepover thank you for the free pass to talk about my beloved blorbos SJFKDKFJC <33 I definitely have more than one fave, and I just talked about my current brainrot palmnueng so... I'll talk about my most recent faves mitsuru/koichi from eien no kinou (I don't know their ship name I just realized whoops)!

GODDD they are so. mwah. no one does it like jbls and specifically these two because my GOD. I watched this show in one sitting and out of 8 episodes I cried continuously for 2 and a half. mitsuru is so lonely and he's built a wall around him to protect himself but then koichi makes a door in it - and then he DIES. and mitsuru is so terrified of koichi disappearing that he literally wishes koichi back to life. and he acts like he has everything together but in reality he's just pretending because if he slips, if he shows how scared he is, koichi might disappear.

and speaking of koichi??? INCOMPREHENSIBLE SCREAMING MY BOY....... he's so sweet and he loves so so much and he's also lonely, just like mitsuru, but in a different way, and he keeps living even though it hurts because micchan wished it and he wants micchan to be happy forever. and the fact that he dies protecting micchan. he's so. my chest hurts when I think about him for too long ❤️

my favorite moments are literally every single second they're on screen, but off the top of my head their first kiss is so adorable because it's bad and silly and they laugh after it and it's very much a first kiss. it's so cute!!!

my favorite au is, of course, koichi doesn't die 😌 they live together happily ever after forever and ever and they die of old age together. this is exactly what happens in canon too guys trust me. TRUST.

I don't have any particular headcanons for them - I'm not typically a headcanon girlie - but mitsuru getting a dog is literally the most realest thing ever to me. thank you for coming to my ted talk!

[mintytrifecta]

Okay. Okay. So. I’ve seen you tag so many posts with code name:Lenore and for the longest time I thought it was a piece of media I just happened to not have heard of, but somewhat recently I remembering you saying it was your original project and jfjddkdkdk okay pls do not feel pressured to answer if you don’t feel like it or anything but if you would like to share I’m asking, I’m asking SO LOUDLY about it cuz the little context clues I think I have picked up the vibes make it sound SO NEAT so yeah if you would like to share anything about it I would love to hear :3

DUUUUUDE I'D LOVE TO TALK ABOUT IT HELL FRICKIN YEAH!!!!

SO Codename: Lenore is a hypothetical novel I'm developing!!! Right now I'm just in like the plot development and worldbuilding stage so the story isn't fully concrete ^^; HOWEVER I DO HAVE SOME LORE >:DDD AND ITS GOING UNDER THE READ MORE CAUSE I HAVE. A LOT. SSNSGHND

Lenore is a robot built of embossed brass that's long been oxidized who wakes up in an unknown era in an unknown, tiny spaceship with only one universal truth present in her head.

She has a mission to find and record every folktale she can, before time runs out.

She doesn't know why, or how, or where this idea came from, nor does she know why time is running, but she knows she has to do it.

It's lonely, at first. Every planet she visits locally in her crumbling ship seems... empty. Devoid of any life. She spends who knows how long going to whatever area of a planet seems the least in ruins and tries to grab whatever she can but there's not much. There's barely one full legend anywhere and everything she finds she has to fill the blanks in. Although, a lot of them do seem to have the running theme of light in them. Light and grief and storms and anguish and so much pain with no real explanation.

It's only after she finds this pattern that Lenore notices the space around her is just as desolate as the planets she visits. Barely any starlight around and what little does show up is red and flicker. Finding this out, Lenore goes to a nearby star to investigate, one that barely has any shine to it.

As soon as she gets close enough it explodes and sends her unconscious and flying back who knows how far.

Next thing she knows Lenore wakes up on an unfamiliar ship with three people staring at her waiting for her to wake up.

Lenore is, understandably wigged out.

But they smile at her anyway and introduce themselves as the Lightspeeds!! A group of Star Hunters and Speedship racers who've been tracking the stars in this piece of space.

The "leader" of their group is the speedship racing pilot herself and head of navigation is Mairin!! Hothead, spirited and quick to make friends but prone to impulse. She welcomes Lenore to their ship with open arms, exclaiming how relieved she is Lenore is alright.

The engineer and head Mairin's partner lurking off to the corner is Khyun. He's closed off and cool but not neccesarily snappy. He's the one who got Lenore back up and running, claiming that they're lucky he likes history as much as he does, or else he wouldn't have recognized any of how Lenore's systems work.

Lastly, the botanist and head of oxygen and survival resources is Elise. She smiles, claiming she's the one who found Lenore's ship careening out at insane speeds and got everyone to help rescue her.

They explain that as Star Hunters, their mission is to find, record and track live stars and ghosts in the universe so that anyone else who's ship-born knows where's safe to stay for a while and what volatile spaces to avoid.

Speedship racers are a bit of a niche sport/subculture for Star Hunters. They compete in laps around stars of different sizes to see who has the fastest and smoothest ship and he winner gets to claim the biggest star found for their Star Hunter team and put it on the map under their name. To enter a speedship race you have to fill a certain quota of living stars found around a specific area and chart them under the name of your team. In this case, the Lightspeeds.

After a bit of talking they strike a deal with her. Lenore gets to help them find stars and work during their races and in return they help her search for folklore on any system-stars they come across.

A while passes and Lenore's officially a member of the Lightspeeds and she's building up a considerable portfolio of folklore. They haven't stopped though, with the theme of grief and stars, which is kind of suspicous to Lenore. They've traveled pretty far from where she was originally at and she gets that similair themes can occur in different cultures, but this is way too often to be mere coincidence.

Then it hits.

The stars are dying. They're dissapearing faster and faster than they can keep track of. The universe is collapsing in on itself with barely any time to preserve everything that's still here.

Lenore and the rest of the Lightspeeds have their work cut out for them.

That's the synopsis and a little bit of the plot I guess gshsnsn I've got more but if I kept going this would be too long so uuuh I'll leave it at this:

In the story there's a lot of themes and allegories to ghosts. Pretty much everyone in the story is haunting or is haunted in one way or another, narratively or not. With all the stars dying, their light still remains, all the planets are gone but stories they've made get to live on, Lenore is a robot, built and decorated with a story so personal to a society long, long gone. Isn't that a ghost?

Well yeah there's metaphorical ghosts but there are also literal ones >:))

See, sometimes when a dying star sends out a solar flare or explodes in a supernova, it'll reach people living on nearby planets. Caught in that light, they die, but their bodies last second absorb that light and essentially become it. Living afterimages of the people they were made out of pure light. They keep "living" for ages after, holding onto themselves as much as possible, but it doesn't always last.

If you're made of light, it's easy to forget what it was like when you were more then that. It's easy to lose memory. Lose shape.

As time goes on it's harder and harder to keep a solid form and idea of who you are. As this happens, as you slowly fade, your light... shifts. Less solid, blue glows become yellow. Slightly transparent and with some strange shifts of appearance, sure, but you're still fine. The real danger starts when you begin to shift red.

Closer to red means closer to dead. You begin to become transparent, unable to be seen under harsh colored lights. Your memory isn't what it used to be and now that you can barely see yourself its hard to hold shape.

Thank goodness none of our cast is that right :)) Thank goodness nobody in the Lightspeeds is hiding this in any kind of shift from yellow to red right :)))))) We certaintly wouldn't want our resident botanist to be hiding something like that from their friends right :))))))) Wouldn't want our resident folklorist android being an amnesiac of one, her creator, stuck in a metal shell with no way of knowing what she really looked like and who she was before she was :))))))))) Wouldn't want a group hellbent on desperate survival and worship of gravity and black holes to force people into becoming those to praise the gravity of a singularity and turn into light as a way to live as one with a decaying universe :)))))))))))))))
