Trial By Lightning: A Summary for New Readers!
Tumblr media
Are you perhaps unfamiliar with the world of @vanali-of-winterfell's story, The Second Calamity? Maybe you've never heard of her characters before? Here's a handy little guide to get you started, so you can better enjoy Trial by Lightning.
↪️[Directory]
THE STORY
Seventeen years before the Calamity, King Rhoam unified Hyrule by force. Soon after the Calamity and his death, his work came unraveled as a succession crisis between his son Norros and daughter Zelda brought Hyrule into a civil war.
Karranis siezed power in Rito Village and declared independence for the Rito once more, while the Yiga Clan spread chaos and a sinister threat arises in the far north…
So in sum, the Hylians have assimilated the other races and cultures under their rule, and the Rito are fighting for independence.
THE KEY PLAYERS
KARRANIS
Tumblr media
Karranis is the leader of the Rito, who were taken over by the Hylians to unify Hyrule. Karranis was injured trying to defend Rito Village from being taken over and has been opposing the rulers of Hyrule ever since.
KHEEL
Tumblr media
Formerly Third Warrior of the Rito-- the third highest warrior position in power--though he was displaced from his position by Inali. He represents the last gasp of a different era of Rito military culture from before Karranis' reforms. Although he has a bad relationship with Inali due to his resentment of her usurping his position, he has also at times attempted to force her into a marriage. He has spread false rumors that Inali is sleeping with Karranis.
INALI
Tumblr media
Karranis' current third in command who lost one of her eyes fighting in his coup to usurp power. She has proven herself on the battlefield, but is fundamentally motivated by obtaining the respect she deserves from her fellow warriors. She is friends with Karranis and Revali, but has a bad relationship with Kheel.
So there you have it! Go give the story a read, and we hope you enjoy.

Note
Ms Saki, I claimed Mr Harth said all the Rito were ashamed of Revali. But I realized that was false. He never said that. I told you a lie. I think I might of made things worse because I jumped the gun. What can I do to fix this?
It was a simple mistake, but apologize to Harth.

So my friend sent me this link to a youtube video about why the TotK lore isn't interesting. I couldn't get through it without a ten-screen discord rant (on my PC monitor, not my phone) so I thought I would put some thoughts here.
I don't delve too deep into TotK story but there are def some spoilery statements below, consume at your own risk.
The initial assumptions here seem to be that (1) BotW was more respectful of "The Lore" than TotK, and that (2) TotK made some unforgiveable sins that BotW absolutely avoided.
Both of these are completely false. And I am NOT saying that neither BotW nor TotK shat upon accepted lore. They did. There is no recovering the Hyrule Historia timeline, objectively. Instead I contend that the truth is the precise opposite: Nintendo has NEVER actually cared to try to make LoZ games have ANY amount of continuity.
Take the slide at the 5 minute mark of the video linked, above, in which we see the Master Sword was created specifically to be used against Ganon, and then the 7 sages set out to find somebody valiant enough to wield it (this is from the user manual of A Link to the Past, from the SNES, which also was about The Imprisoning War). Which, if you're playing the home game, you know got ret'conned TWELVE YEARS AGO by Skyward Sword. He's using the slide to explain why it was ridiculous that Ganondorf was able to shatter the Master Sword in the prologue to TotK, which tells me they didn't pay much attention to the mechanic in BotW in which the Master Sword "runs out of power" if you use it too much. If Ganon is an aspect of Demise (again from Skyward Sword, far more recent lore than the slide being used in the vid) then the secret stone he's wielding is amplifying DEMISE (WAY stronger than just some dude), which is why he's able to shatter the blade - but still isn't enough to destroy the sword. His entire complaint about the Sword being broken suggests to me he either didn't play Skyward Sword or has forgotten it existed, and has DEFINITELY forgotten the 'weapons breaking' mechanic started in BotW.
He makes another complaint later about there not being an explanation for the disappearance of the Divine Beasts. Which, sure. I wondered what happened, and figured the 5ish years since then made it old news nobody was talking about it anymore. I get why that might have been a breaking point for somebody else. But it's not just a TotK problem; BotW didn't address it, either. We see the Divine Beasts being dug up by the Sheikah in Rhoam's flashback - how did they get buried? The towers shoot out of the ground, how did THEY get buried, after the last calamity? Who put the guardians underground? How? HOW, if nobody is allowed into the tunnels under Hyrule Castle? It didn't get explained for BotW, so why is that an unforgivable sin in TotK? They give more than a passing suggestion that Purah has repurposed the guardians - just LOOK at the Skyview Towers. The jumpscare for BotW players when you get grabbed in the Lookout Landing tower TELLS YOU where the guardians went.
There is a significant section in which video creator is quoting an interview I haven't seen (and don't give two shits about), and I think it needs to be said: what is in the game is canon. What is in the interviews from other people is, by definition, not game canon. If it was meant to be game canon it would be in the game. Neil Gaiman talks about this when people ask him for clarification of his stories, go check his FAQ if you want a really good delineation of canon from somebody with way more clout than me.
So let's just look at the lore he's defending from BotW. The map is wrong. Straight up wrong, from all the earlier Zelda games. Nintendo cannot decide where the Lost Woods should be, much less Spectacle Rock. The Temple of Time, which again is mentioned early on as a clear homage to the lore, is in the wrong damn spot. If this is the new Hyrule formed post-WindWaker (as indicated by the existance of Rito), the Temple of Time should have been destroyed. And why do the Rito and the Zora both exist? According to WindWaker, the Rito evolved from the Zora, who couldn't live in the salt of the sea. Which is a pretty big jump from the original game that had Zora in the ocean, and the two games following THAT in which they were straight-up monsters. I don't want to get into ALL the ways BotW breaks from the established lore, but there's a LOT. They don't mention the fucking Triforce ONCE, ffs, that's sort of a big damn deal.
I get there was a canon timeline published in Hyrule Historia. I bought that book for that exact reason. And, as someone who has loved this franchise since I got that first golden cartridge in 1987, I looked at that timeline once, laughed at it, and moved on with my life. BotW de-canonized that timeline already, in a LOT of ways.
So saying that TotK is evidence that Nintendo no longer cares about continuity or lore, and by NOT villifying BotW (or TP or SS) for the exact same problem is disingenuous at best. Saying that TotK is just nostalgia-baiting is ignoring the BotW map (Lake Saria, anyone? Ranch Ruins, anyone?) in general, as well as all the game-specific loot that had NO other reason to be there but straight-up nostalgia. The only reason for Zelda to mention the other heroes in the blessing we hear in the first memory is to (1) destroy the established timeline (skyward bound, adrift in time, or something about twilight, all in a world where Rito exist), or (2) prey on our nostalgia. TotK isn't any worse for putting the WW shirt and the Awakening armor into the game, in terms of wrecking the timeline or trying to feast on our nostalgia.
I'm not going to try to hypothesize what this person (or all his commenters) didn't like about the game, or why they're so willing to overlook all these problems in BotW to villify TotK. And everybody is welcome to like to dislike a game for whatever reason they want, IDGAF, you do you. What I AM saying is that for someone who's upset about the lore, he really doesn't seem to actually be aware of how inconsistent it's ALWAYS been. If TotK is the game that taught you that Nintendo isn't trying to follow their own lore, then I don't think you have been paying attention to the lore for a good long time.
tl;dr this is still my favorite series and if you hate that it breaks its own continuity then you've been asleep for the last 12 years of lore drops my good dude.

Non amo le Religioni. Tutte. La "nostra" ad esempio è stata concausa primaria della fine dell'impero Romano, nonché "benzodiazepina rincoglionitiva" del nostro forte spirito fino a annichilire del tutto ogni forma di "Severitàs". Amo più l'idea di un Paganesimo. Un Dio diverso da pregare per ogni stato d'animo da affrontare. Un Dio severo quando serva Severità, uno Pacifico quando serva Pace, uno Guerriero quando serva Azione, uno Giusto quando serva Decisione ecc ecc. Vari momenti da affrontare proprio come la Vera vita impone. Un Pagano qualcosa di simile ai Giusti tra le Nazioni con cui gli odierni ebrei onorano i Non-ebrei che si sono prodigati però per difendere ebrei perseguitati. Con esso, anche i teologi cristiani hanno affrontato il problema della eterna salvezza per i pagani che, pur non avendo ricevuto la evangelizzazione, vissero come se l'avessero anticipata: cioè in modo Retto e Morale senza bisogno di false credenze
Ma non amo la forza del rito che contiene tutti in pugno. Le collettività che abindolano come tutte le "fedi create dall'uomo" e non dalla Natura come il Paganesimo
Le religioni pregiudicano scelte e adattamenti in quanto impongono a tutti in modo uniforme la loro unica via verso il raggiungimento della felicità e la loro idea di protezione dalla sofferenza. La tecnica delle religioni consistoni nello sminuire il valore della vita e nel deformare in maniera delirante l’immagine del mondo reale, cose che presuppongono l’avvilimento èe soprattutto l annichilimento dell’intelligenza. A questo prezzo, mediante la fissazione violenta a un infantilismo psichico e la partecipazione a un delirio collettivo, le religioni riescono a deformare la vita di interi popoli fino a farli entrare in guerra.

Lore bits
Tumblr media
This claim is false. Leona and Diana were never portrayed as "almost sisterly". They simply didn't know each other in old lore. Diana is the one who was always intended to be, designed as, a lesbian. This aspect of her was not explicitly written in her original lore because Rito management. Her story is about being ostracized by the group she was born in.
Tumblr media
Leona had no orientation in old lore. She was childhood friends with Pantheon.
~
Fast-forward to new lore, where a tumble and jumble made Diana and Leona almost sort of switch personalities and introduce aliens and... And this is a snip of the official Riot image for the Pride event. See what colours Leona's pengu holds:

Zelda fandom rant:
Totk is not a retcon. It literally is not. It has a few weird story things going on with BOTW in regards to the Sheikah tech but that's it. It does not up-end Any part of the time-line other than saying fan theories that people got overly attached to aren't true.
It is never stated anywhere (in the game or the books) that the Link and Zelda from Skyward Sword are the founders of the Kingdom of Hyrule. We did not know when or who established the kingdom, and we now have Rauru and Sonia as likely candidates. I fail to see how this could be such an upsetting "retcon" to people when all previous lore had the time between Skyward Sword and Minish Cap as multiple Vague happenings.
"Where is the Triforce?" "What happened to the Zonai?" both of these questions honestly have the same answer: the Era of Chaos. You know the one where the Triforce and the Sacred Realm gets sealed and when we know that at least one race gets yote from Hyrule's plan of existence? And that the Zonai at their height were not only the direct descendants of the Gods (so basically gods themselves) and very powerful magic users? By the time Hyrule's established the Triforce is already sealed away until OoT, and the Zonai also have their own powerful objects in the form of the Secret Stones (which could be any number of things. Aspects of the triforce, mimicries of it, things given to them by their godly ancestors, idk have some fun with it). And it's not a stretch to say that Rauru wouldn't know about it or the Hyrulians own heritage from the skies with the loftwings; eventually leading to the crest of Hyrule that we know.
The sky in and if itself is already a realm of the gods separated from the surface reality. Just because we don't see the Zonai in SS doesn't mean they weren't around or weren't doing things on the surface before the Skyloftians re-establish themselves on the ground. They're capable of existing as their own thing. I don't really ever see people get this upset over like Oocca (even tho like,,, wtf is up with them?), and I can only assume it's cause TwiLiP is already in the fandom consciousness as a "good Zelda game" so it won't get scrutiny like the new one.
Idk I'm seeing people get personally upset and offended over percieved changes in the time-line. Even though I would argue with my whole chest nothing has been retconned or changed.
Also it's very funny watching people who were so against the idea that botw could mean that the time-lines converged now tout the theory; just so they can shove both it and totk (including all the "in the past" stuff with Rauru and Sonia) so far in the future it can't touch their precious "classic Zelda." And the time-line that I remember a lot of the fandom not even liking.
Like I believed in the convergence theory back during botw cause it made sense to me and we were already dealing with time magic. But no, it was Impossible until the new game did something people didn't agree with.
It's fine to disagree or have different theories but to say that the game is objectively bad and was trying to retcon things? I have to disagree. I really think it's a matter of people disliking change and totk not being the game they built up in their heads (or not Entirely following up on some of botw's story, like the fight with Calamity Ganon from the legend. Which is a valid criticism and one that I kinda hold myself). But making up false statements about the game to justify your dislike? That's pretty weak.
(And that's not to say I'm above hating games or spin offs. I don't like Hopes pretty much at all, but I Try to keep my hate grounded in things the game actually did)
To go off in a side tangent: I'm sorry but totk Does tell you the order it wants you to do it's story in. It tells you to go to certain areas first (like talking to Purah, then to Kakariko, then to Impa, etc), to talk with Impa on your way to Rito Village which is the first area the game directs you towards. Then when you go to the forgotten temple: there is a map on the ground showing you the exact locations of all of the glyphs plus the glyphs lined up on the back wall in a way that suspiciously looks....ordered. And Impa's dialog prompts you to try and figure out what this all could Mean. And you get a camera right at the start of the game which would maybe allow for something like Documenting the map and the wall mural.
Idk bout y'all but I figured out this riddle after a few seconds of looking at it on release day. So there was no guide or anything to "help" me. And yeah I'm being sarcastic because the answer is so blatant and obvious. The game Wants you to pay attention and do the glyphs linearly but is was not going to hold your hand and force you. And there is other dialog abounds which asks you to do the plot in a certain order, but you still don't Have to.
I don't know how to sign this off other than saying that, in my opinion, totk is a fantastic game. It's a good Zelda game. And yes, I have played plenty of classic Zelda games before anyone tries to accuse me of "not getting it." The lore and the story is also very important to me, I just disagree with much of the discourse I've seen (especially on Zelda YouTube). It's okay if you don't like it, but people who do like it aren't bootlickers or whatever.
And yeah there are things that I do dislike about the game, don't get me wrong. But gods it's not a bad game and it's not world ending. Maybe try having fun with the lore for once?

Realization
Sa pakikipag-usap ko sa isang kamag-aral ko, tila marami akong mga naging reyalisasyon o mga napagtanto. Sa mga katanungan niya pa lamang kung maipagmamalaki ko raw ba ang aking sarili, o kaya ang katanungan niya tungkol sa aking mga minimithi o mga pangarap.
Let's dive deeper...
1st Question: Are you proud of yourself, let alone... your achievements?
-Kung titingnan ang katanungang ito, tila madali lamang sagutin. Ngunit bakit ba ako hirap na hirap? Ayaw ko naman kasing sabihin ng ibang taong nagpapakita ako ng "false humility" o sa madaling salita ay "feeling humble." Kung magpapakatotoo ako, kahit papaano ay ipinagmamalaki ko ang aking sarili nang bahagya.
Bakit? Sa palagay ko, marami pang mga bagay akong hindi pa nararating, natututuhan, at parang hindi sapat ang lahat ng makakaya na ibinibigay ko. Masaya ako sa mga tagumpay ko pagdating sa pagsusulat ng sanaysay, gayondin sa pag-awit at pananalumpati sa harap ng madla. Subalit, sapat na nga ba ito? Maipagmamalaki ko ba ang aking sarili sa ganitong mga bagay lamang?
Siguro para sa iba, malaking bagay na ito—ang magkaroon ng kakayahan sa pagsusulat, at ang lakas ng loob sa pag-awit at pananalumpati sa harap ng madla. Subalit kung manggagaling sa pananaw ko, hindi ganoon kamangha-mangha ang mga naabot kong pagwawagi o karangalan. Gayunpaman, itinatak ko na lamang sa aking utak na kahit papaano ay may nararating ako nang paunti-unti at marahan sa bawa't hakbang na aking mga tinatahak.
2nd Question: What is your dream?
-Ito rin ay isang simpleng katanungang hirap din akong sagutin. Sabi nga nila, sa dinami-dami kong mga kakayahan at talento bakit ako nahihirapan?
Well, let's start with my first dream—to become a neurosurgeon. Bata pa lamang ako ay nais ko nang pumasok sa larangan ng medisina. Simply because... nais kong gumamot ng mga taong may malulubhang karamdaman. Gayondin ng aking sarili, mga kaibigan, at lalo na ng aking pamilya. Ngunit ano nga ba ang humahadlang sa akin? Bakit hindi ito ang isinasagot ko sa mga katanungan nila?
Ang ikalawa kong pangarap ang nagpakumplikado—ang maging isang guro sa asignaturang Filipino. Bakit ko nga ba naging pangarap ito? Hindi ko na pahahabain, napukaw o nagkaroon ako ng inspirasyon mula sa guro ko sa Filipino noon. Natanto kong ito rin ang kalakasan kong asignatura, ang pinaka nadadalian ako sa lahat. Nagalak ako sa mga karanasan ko bilang student-teacher bagama't nakakapagod. At karamihan ng aking mga kakayahan ay maaari kong maipasok sa propesyong ito. Hindi tulad ng pagiging isang surgeon, na kailangang maalam sa agham at sipnayan sa kolehiyo. Bagay na... hindi ko gamay o forte kung kaya't sinukuan ko na lamang ang larangan ng medisina.
Ang liit ng sahod sa pagiging isang guro kaya naman nag-resort ako sa isa ko pang pangarap—ang maging isang peryodista o journalist sa wikang ingles. Mas nababagay ako rito. Sa pamamagitan ng talento ko sa pagsusulat at maging sa kakayahan kong magpahayag ng pananaw. Nais ko ring mag-iwan ng legacy at ipakita ang pagmamahal ko sa bayan. Hirap man akong mag-public speaking pero kakayanin ko para sa propesyon na ito. Nasayahan din ako sa mga karanasan ko noon sa pagsali ng mga patimpalak sa journalism. Naisip kong bakit hindi ko subukan sa hinaharap? Tutal, masaya ako at ang mga kakayahan ko ay kaugnay ng propesyong ito. Ang tanong.. kakayanin ko ba?
Sa mga agam-agam na mga ito, naisip ko ang isa ko pang pangarap—ang pagiging singer at song writer. Mahal ko ang musika at ang musika ang sinasandalan ko sa anumang estado ko sa buhay—maging malungkot, masaya, umiibig, nagagalit at iba pa. May kakayahan din ako sa pagsusulat, bakit hindi ito itransform sa paggawa ng mga liriko ng awitin? Marunong din akong kumanta at mag-play ng mga musical instruments. Mula sa mga kakayahan, mga hilig, at mga talento kong ito, nakalikha na ako ng ilang mga awiting nalapatan ko na ng himig at tono. Ngunit bakit hindi ko pa ilabas ang mga ito? Bakit hindi na lang ako pumasok sa industriya ng musika? Mayroon akong isang katanungan ulit para sa aking sarili... kaya ko ba? Kaya ko ba ang pressure? Kakayanin ko ba ang mga panganib na kaakibat gaya ng death threats at stalkers? Kakayanin ko ba ang pagiging sikat?
Dahil sa mga paggugunam-gunam na mga iyan, bumalik ako sa aking pangarap na maging isang guro. Ngunit naroon pa rin ang problema. Aling asignatura? English o Filipino? Dahil parehas kong mahal ang asignaturang iyan. Parehas akong may kakayahan sa dalawang iyan at pinakanadadalian.
Nagpasya ako maging medyor sa Filipino, at sa kalaunan ay kumuha na lamang ng masterals sa English. Naging inspirasyon ko ang aking guro noon. Isa siyang medyor sa agham na kumuha ng masterals sa English. Sa kabilang palad, mayroong pumipigil sa akin.
Sabi sa akin ng guro ko sa sipnayan, magbabago na raw ang sistema ng pagranggo ng mga guro. Tatanggalin na raw ang Master Teacher I, II, at III, gayondin ang mga head. Papalitan na raw ito ng Teacher I hanggang VII. Sa kadahilanang ito, hindi na raw magiging posible na maging dalawa ang asignaturang kuhanin ko. At kung itataas ang rank, ang pinakamataas na maaaring makuha ay pagiging isang punong-guro. Mula sa mga nabanggit niya, ay tila gumuho na naman ang mga pangarap ko.
To answer your question on what my dream is...
Hindi ko na alam kung saan ako tutungo at kung anong landas ang tatahakin ko. Pero sana kung magkaroon man ako sa hinaharap ng propesyon, hinahangad ko na lamang na ang sahod ay sapat para matustusan ang aking sarili, makatulong sa ibang tao, at maging masaya ako sa aking propesyon. Sa madaling salita, maging successful o matagumpay ako sa hinaharap. Kahit iyon na lamang ang aking pangarap? Wala nang ispesipikong propesyon basta't maging matagumpay sa maayos at marangal na pamamaraan.

Lucien Favre
Basic Information
Age: 16 Gender: Cismale (he/him) Eye Colour: Cobalt
Main Verse
Born two traveling merchants at the Gerudo Canon Station, Lucien spent the first two years of his life around the horses at the stables. When he was able to walk around on his own, his parents took him with them on their next trip to the Kara Kara Bazaar. This turned out to be a disastrous decision. During their night there before they headed back to the Gerudo Canyon Pass, the Yiga Clan struck, stealing supplies and cutting down those that got in the way. Lucien's parents were among those who fell. One of the Yiga members was about to leave when the tiny toddler clung to their leg, refusing to let go and crying. Lucien cannot say for sure if that last part was true, but he did know that, for whatever reason, his parents were killed that night, and he was brought back to the Yiga Clan hide out and raised by them. Skilled in archery and espionage, Lucien grew up believing the tales the Yiga told, that Hyrule had turned against the and that Ganon would help them. He assisted in getting all the information needed for stealing the Thunder Helm, and then thought himself able to handle an even harder task- sneaking into Kakariko Village to steal the Ancient Orb there, since the last member sent betrayed the Yiga Clan. However, he was caught before he could enter Lady Impa's home. Seeing he was only a young child, the Sheikah were unsure what to do with him. Impa spoke with Lucien, and slowly explained that what he knew about the world to be false. With the help of Impa and Dorian, Lucien slowly realizes the truth about the Yiga Clan and what they had done. He apologizes profusely for his actions, and asks that, if possible, he could learn from the Sheikah. As Dorian had just had the Yiga descend on the village, they were hesitant to let him do so, but agreed that for a short time, Lucien would be allowed to do so. After a year there, Lucien expressed his thanks to Impa, explaining that he wanted to travel Hyrule and try and help in some of the places he had caused problems. He now travels Hyrule, mostly between the Necluda Region, to visit Karakriko for Impa and Dorian, as well as to the Zora Domain. His travel then typically take him west, into the Hebra Region, where he studies archery with the Rito. Lucien doesn't have many connections in Hyrule. In Kakariko he speaks mainly with Lady Impa, and Dorian, although he does often chat with Claree. In Zora's Domain he is a member of Sidon's Fan Club with Tula, Tona, Laruta. In Rito Village is is friends with Saki and Tulin, and often gets lessons from Harth and Teba in archery.

…You are not wrong about sheer numbers with this man. I think you've been a rockstar about what you've got, though, because if you went through EVERY possibility you'd go insane.
Tumblr media
-Unknown: You are not wrong about descendants being light on personality, but at least we ALL agree this child is to be protected at all costs (and I see that little shiny egg)~ I, too, was PISSED about Adam's kid. No name, no gender, no wife's name--bet ya they just added it in to make his (dick move) death sadder. T_T -Kim: 👌 -Kat: 👍 -Bulk: 👏👏🥧✨ -Tommy: Jesus, that carnival date introduction must have made Tommy look like he was having a stroke after hearing the words. But good job turning something so INTOLERABLY AWKWARD into a win--especially since learning to take care of other people tends to make him take care of himself. And I am FULLY behind love and commitment without marriage. Nice try, Rita. A false hand, but nice try. ^^; Lizzie's "good at picking up subtext" probably means she takes after Skull (thankfully) given...yeah, Tommy has the smart/dumb conundrum. Hunter...is this a little bit of irony on display? "Became the hunted" rings to mind. But I do love that he really, really wants to FINISH SCHOOL GDI, before any and everything else. Also, yes, please, give this boy Black. Black will love him~ -Jason: ...okay, this is new; but sure, let's have Madame Skullovitch be into jailbait as well as a terrible parent; that fits. And yaaaay for continuing on with Tommy providing the safe harbor nobody knows about!
Tumblr media
GUIDENCE COUNSELOR SKULL/KARATE INSTRUCTOR JASON. Marriage of necessity to adopt Stan's orphan girl to keep her the hell away from the scumbag grandparents. YES TO ALL. *Looks at Rebecca, her colors, and her disposition* So she could grow up to be a bitchin' lawyer, but she'll have to get out of the habit of crying if she gets yelled at. I LOVE HER 😌 -Trini: Well this is a very balanced couple. One kid out of wedlock each and then a joint kid to get patted and cuddled and loved by all parties involved. Bet a nickel that Minh drags him into social situations only for Spike to rescue him. I WANT THAT PLUSHIE, omg. -Rito: …..Wait, does that mean Bulk and Skull had to live on the moon in the palace when Goldar and Rito weren't on earth doing their jobs on the police force? I mean, they are actually hyper competent with this kind of work and could TOTALLY caretake an entire castle, so I'm for it...but where did they sleep?? *claps for Rito* Good man! Turning the scumbag parents into the mongrels they are and giving Stan a proper chance! Full marks! This is a lovely, lovely life to have with an adorable rapscallion of a son; I adore the idea of Rito and Skull being captains much like Shakespeare in Stardust, with a little of the softest bit of Long John Silver tucked in for flavor. Elio is such a pretty boy with such a pretty name--how unfortunate that it makes me think of that gd Call Me By Your Name and immediately tack it onto the boy's love life. *sigh* Bulk will consent to this because Rito is a nice enough guy and Skull is happy, their SON is happy, and that's all that counts. Billy...I'm pretty sure, from his view, it's only one-third jealousy and one-third the J.J. and young ranger thing, and one-third worried about what a MASSIVE age difference will do with Skull and Rito when Skull hits middle-age and Rito tries to do something about it. ….That tangential AU makes me want to sob. But also curious as to WHICH comic!Skull Elio grows into similarity for. -Adam: This is so pure and wholesome, I wanna scream. Lucky Lukas, he gets dads that can provide for him in all things; one in soft confidence and one in sheer experience (wow, Skull, just WOW). -Aisha: I mean, in Skull's defense, Aisha is a CATCH and he KNOWS IT; by his mind, no way she would be serious about dating him. But the height difference probably made him imbibe on sheer principal. Kensie is going to have SO many friends with this disposition once the pastel heroes show up in town. I can just picture this pocket sized pianist kicking a rock at a monster menacing a Red or Pink and BAM! Instant Ranger assist~ -Zack: Yeeeeeeah, Zack is a PRINCE, but it would take a few years for Skull to trust that. Ice Cream parlor owners and waiters feels so soft and perfect :D I am willing to bet that Archie DOES inherit the parlor, BUT not before one of his dads introduce him to a Mystic. And not before making sure Mari feels safe and secure in this new place with these awesome dads.
Eugene Skullovitch canon and non canon kids
-stares at his sheer List of close friendships, implied romances, romances, and everything in between- I think Skull vies with Tommy for sheer amounts. Tommy or Billy, but definitely up there. At the very least I can say this is because he’s a reoccurring character over several seasons and movies and not because they were trying to force a hetero romance so nobody noticed the actor was gay. Skull’s naturally flirtatious demeanor and huge presence in the show is certainly to blame for this. So. I’m more than likely missing some, but -shrugs- I am doing My Best lol.
Canon kids:
Unknown mother;
Spike Skullovitch. Like Minh the other parent isn’t known or needed, so Spike never got her named. It’s led to a lot of ideas of who the mom is, au’s where he’s a putty hybrid, and just a whole lot of fun. But let’s focus on canon. Spike is the teenaged son of a now very famous and very rich Eugene Skullovitch. He spent the summer with his “uncle” Bulk. He’s got a massive crush on Mia and he wants to be a samurai and he’s always eager to help the power rangers. And can I just say I love this guy? He’s a cinnamon role. He’s a sweetie. He’s a baby doll and must be protected at all costs. He’s the sweetest of the confirmed canon kids we know of so far (I AM looking at Coinless!Adam’s unnamed son, yes I am. Child I wish we’d seen you before you died. I’d love to know your name) unfortunately the descendants don’t seem to get a lot of personality as a general rule, and even Spike’s a little light on personality. He’s got enough to make him stand out from his dad. But, I can’t help but adore him lol. Sir who are you and who’s your mom? Second bit doesn’t matter but I’d love to know you better.
Non canon oc and alternate reality kids and grandkids:
for the sake of not wanting to sound repetitive, not every universe will have Spike, just ones that make sense/would be interesting for him.
Kimberly Hart;
Stormy Hart, aged seventeen. Her parents are separated. Despite the rocky start with Eugene being Kim’s rebound, they got together again after the Candace Incident. Kim progressed on Eugene’s terms, and they had a kiddo right as they were applying for colleges. It was a bit difficult and they made it work, but when Stormy was seven they finally had to separate, though they’re not on bad terms. Stormy is Spike’s half sister, and has her own band. Has anxiety and depression. Doesn’t spend time with brother or Bulk, at least as much as she should. Mostly for her appearance. Got extremely jealous of Spike over the power rangers thing though! She generally lives with her mom, not her dad, hence why she doesn’t spend time with Spike. She loves her goofy half brother but she’s at the age where her image is important to her. She doesn’t have any colors associated with her.
Katherine Hillard;
I thought his mild attempts at flirting were cute. They got together after Turbo’s movie. Kat realized she was never going to replace Kim for Tommy, and broke up with him. She got with Skull after a few months and some very creative ways to ask her out. They have two sons. The oldest is Squire Hillard. Aged 17. He’s average height and kind of a brilliant himbo. He lets his reputation cover him like a mask, but he’s pretty devious when he’s properly motivated. A little bit of a tail chaser. He keeps striking out, but that never stopped him. While he is a power ranger (pink), he’s having fun running a podcast questioning who the power rangers are. This cover is so good not even Kat’s figured out he’s pink turbo ranger. Looks like a surfer bro. Prefers it that way. Half brother of Spike Skullovitch. Has had to save his half brother three times so far. Barely gets along with his dad, county Sheriff Eugene Skullovitch, but they’re trying. He’s closer to Kat and like her is a professional diver. He wants to get into the Olympics. His general outfit could best be described as “someone from the peppermint forest in candyland decided to become a pirate”. He actually has a rap sheet. He’s got middle child syndrome and you can usually find him with his friends, the other Turbo rangers, or with Bulk, or egging grandmas house with Devon. He’s giving Eugene a bald spot is what he’s doing. Spike does his best, but they really don’t see eye to eye. Squire likes his big brother, there’s just a bit of frustration with him.
Devon Skullovitch, aged eleven. Unlike Squire he’s not blond and looks more like Eugene and Spike. Bulk calls him the baby buddy, and it annoys him so so much. Loves video games and fixing cars. Can eat his weight in lasagna. Not associated with any color. Knows his brother is up to something, unsure what. Often getting babysit by half brother. Is known to egg his grandmothers house. A lot. It’s a problem.
Billy Cranston;
After being best friends as kids, then not, then sort of friends, then maybe more...they have two kids. Charlie Cranston, aged twenty two, and Oscar "Skid" Cranston, aged twenty. Charlie and Oscar are both via a science experiment, where Billy combined his and Eugene's genetic codes in a randomizer, to see if anything would happen that was viable as a sperm and egg equivalent. Yes, he got permission for this from Eugene. He sold the patent, and lives happily with his and Eugene's kids. Charlie is a blue solar ranger. She has been since she was seventeen. Billy didn't know at first and when he found out....he grounded her for not telling him. Then came back thirty minutes later, apologized, ungrounded her, and told her to be careful. Eugene doesn't get it as much but he's trying, he really is. He worries more than Billy, though Billy does often find himself staring up at the stars on late nights with tea in his hand, knots in his stomach and hoping he sees his daughter for Christmas. It's different, somehow, when they're in space and not in town.
Oscar is friends with a Bulkmeier, of course. He's the family "problem child", in a general sense. The prankster, and he's super smart. He is mild enough nobody really thinks he's as smartass and clever as he is. His entire motivation is cause as much chaos as possible. He used to prank his sister once a month until she left, and he's the one who let slip she's a power ranger because she was thrown through a building in front of him. She didn't know he knew, and he's been apologizing since via no more pranks, and gifts. so many gifts. Her favorite foods, updates on her favorite bands, jewelry she'd like. He doesn't have to but he feels bad. This was the closest they ever got to the family splintering. Trini, Zack, and Jason do their best to help the three deal with Charlie in space. Oscar works as a janitor, isn't really interested in dealing with school or anything. He likes doing his hobbies while having a stable job.
variation; they get together when he helps Skull with his newborn son. Spike takes care of his little siblings, and helped Oscar get his nickname and his current job. Billy is eternally caring to his adopted kid, and does the best he can by Spike.
variation 2; Charlie becomes Charlie from A Team. This time, Billy DOES ground her. she never hears the end of it
Farkas Bulkmeier;
Absolutely nobody was surprised when they got together. Eugene became a teen dad and Bulk didn't even think twice. He could fit boyfriend in one arm and baby in the other and he often did in the early days when sleeping with the two. For comfort and sense of protection. Skull was his best friend, and everything he'd ever want in a partner. They didn't bother with a ceremonial wedding, it was just going to get the paperwork signed and then having a big party celebrating with their friends. They have Spike, of course, and adopted one more. Between Spike and Amy, they're good. Sharkie offered to be a surrogate, and Billy offered a way to mix their genetics, but after a long talk with each other and them, it was just Spike and Amy.
Amy and Spike are the same age, with a four month difference. Spike's more emotionally mature than his sister, but Amy's more cunning and less naive than Spike. Currently both eighteen. She's jaded in a lot of ways and makes sure her brother doesn't have to be. Spike has had to ask her not to threaten any partners he might get with, because he can handle himself. She's had to occassionaly ask this goes both ways. Amy is considering being a mechanic, or a roadie for Skull or Spike. She likes feeling useful, she likes puzzles and chess and general challenges. Cannot cook to save her life, but she's a whiz at baking. She's better at math than anyone else in her family. But english is the bane of her existence. Is not associated with a color.
Tommy Oliver;
Tommy invited Skull to a carnival. After first being asked if Skull was a rebound-with a fast follow up to make sure Tommy wasn't taking him to something run entirely by putties-and then asking if he was sure sure Goldar and Skorpina wouldn't be there-Tommy decided he was going to make this a date. and the best one of Skull's life. The effort to help this guy have a proper, healthy, fair love life, meant it more or less accidentally lead to falling in love and while not marriage, they do live together. They have Spike, an adopted daughter Eliza, and a son together named Hunter. Rita thought it'd "bury the hatchet" and had the forethought to let them know she'd decided her first act of being nice would be something that would benefit them. Has not in fact, buried any negative feelings but the effort did mean something. Tommy's straight up told all three of his kids they're not allowed to go to Briarwood. Just in case.
Eliza "Lizzie" Oliver is 21, and wants to be a reporter. Thinks Tommy's worries are a little extreme when they directly affect his kids' lives, but she humors him even as an adult, because she loves him and wants to see him happy. A little selfish, but very smart. Good at picking up on subtext and helps explain things that go over her brothers' heads when she's with them. Tommy's too because he might be smart, but the man is kinda dumb. Not very organized, but somehow always has what she needs in her giant purse. Very resourceful, knows how to pick locks, and is capable of two types of martial arts.
Hunter Oliver-Skullovitch is 16. He's just trying to get through highschool guys, please let him get through highschool. He's been kidnapped twice, and he really just wants to be left alone. More of a punk than Tommy gets, but Tommy and Skull are supportive of his tastes and choices in life. Unfortunately everybody wants a piece of this kid, and while he's not associated with any color (by sheer force of will), this is not from lack of attempts. Hunter's just very very good at making himself too much of a nuisance to be worth taking. Like his siblings he knows two types of martial arts, can pick locks, knows how to get into vents, knows four ways to get out of ropes and other bindings, and can say "help me I've been kidnapped" in twelve languages. as well as "fire!" and "that's not a human!". He loves monster movies, because the monsters actually seem to pose a challenge. He and Tommy do have an understanding, and Tommy and Skull are both happy to let Hunter have a choice in becoming a ranger. He won't get forced into it, if he does he will do this fully with his eyes open and knowing what he's getting into. He will become a black ranger, when he's around 20, and it will be his choice.
Jason Lee Scott;
They were paired up for a school assignment a little after Tommy was reformed and saved from Rita. It was annoying, especially with Skull being so cagey and Bulk straight up threatening him if he went to the Skullovitch residence or business. When Jason dared, he realized why. And had to get saved from Mrs Skullovitch flirting with him. Which earned Skull a lot of verbal abuse as he pulled Jason far away from the house. He felt the need to make it up to Skull, and they went from antagonizing each other to friends to semi-secretly dating each other. Everyone knew except Skull’s family. Jason didn’t even know what made him angrier; the fact Skull felt he had to protect Jason, or the fact that he lived in Tommy’s house whenever Tommy’s parents didn’t live there, and Skull’s parents didn’t seem to notice. They have one adopted daughter. Skull’s a guidance counselor at their old high school, and Jason is a karate instructor. Rebecca Scott is actually Stan’s, but Stan died and his girlfriend died in a car crash caused by monster activity, and the newborn was the only survivor. Eugene would have adopted her with or without Jason there. Luckily Jason was there, and Jason fell in instalove with the baby. She was very small and he loved her.
Jason and Skull got married to make it easier for Jason to formally adopt Rebecca, in case something happened and because everyone felt distancing her and Skull from the Skullovitch legacy was the best idea, and this could be accomplished by taking Jason's last name. He was only too happy to do this. He was disinherited by his dad, but it doesn't matter. The guy lost out on getting to know a great kid. Rebecca’s blind from the car accident, and has a dog and a cane to help her around. She’s 15, and nothing stops her. She’s got a lot of caution, but very little outright fear. The power rangers will protect the civilians, and her skills and disability aids help keep her safe as well. She loves to read, and has read every braille book in the library twice. She’s aware her dads are power rangers, and most of her extended family. They’re not going to let anything happen to her. And she’s going to make sure nothing happens to them. Rebecca is opinionated with a very strong sense of right and wrong. She’s actually rather blunt, but tries to be nice about it. She knows her mind and she knows how to direct people, but she hates being in a confrontation. Not associated with a color, but it’d probably be red or bronze if she were.
Trini Kwan;
He kept asking her out until she agreed to go out with him. And actually had a nice time. So she humored him again, and again, it was nice. They weren't seeing seeing each other though, and both of them had their kids around the same time. Skull had Spike, and Trini had Minh, and they liked each other fine and loved each other's kids. They had one more, together. August Kwan. He's thirteen, and a complete introverted social butterfly. He loves showing off and gushing about his interests but he hates dealing with too many people for too long. He's really into piano, like Skull. A composer for video game music sounds like a really fun profession, so maybe when he's older he'll work towards that. But he's thirteen, he's got time. He has a stuffed animal he's been attached to since he was two, is half convinced stuffed animal is sentient, and carries it around in his hoodie or backpack. He's not ready to let it go, and Trini fully understands, supports, and gets this. When he's ready, Banjo the seal plushy, will be put beside her own childhood doll Ticklesneezer. Skull's following along with the gentle parenting; he's a bit out of his depth but he appreciates and loves that their kids are being actively supported. He's working on it, and so far the kids aren't traumatized, so something must be working.
Rito Revulto;
Eugene managed to get him and Bulk out of being turned into chimpanzees by a (justifiably) pissed off Rito by convincing him of a role reversal; Bulk and Skull be the maids, Rito and Goldar act as Bulk and Skull. But this means Goldar and Rito have to commit to the things Bulk and Skull were doing. In this case, junior officers. It is a very weird set up, but Rito likes a challenge, he and Goldar decide it's fair, and the power rangers, Vile, Zordon and Alpha and Rita and Zedd are completely confused, but Rito tends to commit to whatever he sets his mind to, and Goldar has a very specific moral code he lives by and this falls in line with it. Vile occasionally tries to cause the comedy duo to go back on their word so he can get his tool-I mean son-back, but the rangers do step in enough to help them. As does Stone, Ernie, and the others.
Eugene and Rito bond over highly shitty parents and realizing they're very similar. They're both people pleasers whose trauma responses is sarcastic quips and being class clown types. Rito turned Eugene's parents into a couple of dogs, and while he contemplated doing the same to Stan, he simply made sure Stan got a big break in the music scene. He couldn't convince Eugene to leave earth at first, until Eugene got left behind by Bulk. There was really nothing left for him on earth, so Eugene took him up on it. They're pirates, and have their own ship, and their son Elio is the apple of their eye. Elio is 26. He's cunning, fast talking, fast thinking, fast acting and has very little fear. He's as courageous as Skull and Rito try to pretend they are. He's bold, and wicked, but he's a man of his word. He has a devil's lock coloring in his hair. Stark black hair and stark white in streaks has gotten him an affectionate nickname of Skunk, but when he likes someone he asks they call him Elio. He listens to his parents and is completely loyal to them, but not out of fear. They're genuinely good at being leaders of their group, and sort of seen as the father figures of most of the crew. Elio follows his dads because he genuinely loves working for them. He did have a splash of rebelliousness in his teens though. He learned the violin, not the piano. When not pirating, they live on Mirinoi with Bulk. He's been to earth a few times, and loves fucking with JJ Oliver, it's hilarious. Not associated with a color, but he'd happily get to know a certain shade of Green.
Does Bulk especially like the lifestyle choice for his best buddy, best buddy's partner and best buddy's kid? no. Can he deny this is the happiest he's ever seen Skull? also no. He is literally living out a childhood fantasy, and thriving. Billy, however, is this close to losing it and throwing all three in a prison on Aquitar. Skull's not even sure if this is from jealousy or being a power ranger. Or the fact Elio's flirting with every ranger close to his age as a battle tactic. Some more seriously than the others.
a tangential au is where Vile kills his parents and forces Elio to work for him. This version he does get with JJ, who went undercover on the ship to figure out what exactly happened. They manage to get Elio and the crew out of Vile's clutches safely. Elio goes from being like Rito to a lot more like comic!Skull.
Adam Park;
Eugene doesn't believe in himself, but Adam does, did, and always has. They started dating after Adam encouraged him to play the piano in the talent show. Adam loves his music, and they're both encouraging of each other. Aisha is a surrogate for their son, Lukas. Given how close she was to Adam, it was only natural in her mind to offer. She loves him, loves he's found happiness, and when they decided they wanted kids she wanted to help that happiness grow. Lukas Park's 17, plays piano, and volunteers at the animal shelter. Adam's a doctor and while Lukas respects and likes this, he'd rather be a veterinarian. Or, like Skull, a professional classical pianist. They support Lukas with whatever he wants to do or be, and he loves the fact he's not being pressured. Skull once sat him down with a list of every job he's ever done (the list was actually more like an entire manila folder bursting out the sides, it was frankly impressive), a ranking system and how much each profession made. Everything from a cop to a detective to an undercover agent for the government to a waiter at a bar to a judge at a pet show to rockstar to pianist-it was comprehensive and a little overwhelming, but at the end of each profession Skull said if it was what he wanted, he'd be proud. At the end it left Lukas fairly calm and certain no matter what choice he made, it'd be the right choice for him, and his dads would support him in this. not associated with a color
Aisha Campbell;
She asked him out and he thought it was a joke. It wasn't. They found they actually challenge each other in interesting ways. She also hates his mom and her parents love him, so that helped a lot. They've got a daughter, Kensie Campbell. Aged 15. Excitable by nature, is in the drama club. Has a near perfect memory, uses this for shenanigans, mostly when sassing her many many honorary aunts and uncles or annoying villains and monsters. Eugene is so, so proud. Aisha sometimes worries the know it all attitude is going to get her in trouble. However, nothing's happened-yet-and Kensie does seem to slowly be learning how to read the room. She plays piano to help her think. Her favorite is moonlight sonata. It partially annoys Skull, but his favorite composer is Bach, so it's more of a principle thing. Kensie is a soccer player, and has a very close best friend. Skull's getting the "what to in case you're kidnapped by a monster with your best friend" speech ready, just in case a group of crime fighting teenagers with attitude show up. not associated with a color
Zack Taylor;
Zack's always tried to give Bulk and Skull the benefit of the doubt and never felt any true antagonistic feelings to them. Annoyance sure, but he doesn't hate them. Eugene took a while to warm up to Zack though, because nice doesn't mean trustworthy, and the two eventually started dating when Eugene realized no, Zack really is just that sweet. They run an ice cream parlor together and have two adopted kids. Achibald "Archie" Taylor and Marigold "Mari" Taylor.
Archie was adopted in his teens, and while this means he doesn't get to have as much time growing up with Zack and Skull as his dads, he's got the rest of his life with them as his parents, and that's the best thing he's ever heard. He was adopted out of the foster care system at thirteen, and is nineteen. He loves botany and magic tricks. Being a stage magician or professional botanist would be really really cool. He doesn't play piano or dance but he loves watching Zack and loves listening to Eugene practice at night. Is unsure what he wants to do with his life, but inheriting the ice cream parlor would be nice, if the botany or the stage magician thing doesn't work out. is not associated with a color.
Mari was adopted last year. She's fourteen and getting used to living with her brother and her dads. They're kinda weird, but she likes them. It is weird going to a new school in a new town, with a new last name. She doesn't really know what she likes, she's still figuring it out, but she knows she likes it here and that's good enough. She does miss her old friends and home a little, but she is making new friends. Zack and Eugene give her space and understanding, and Archie's been great with advice and settling in. not associated with a color.
Sharkie;
They got together after Bulk left earth, but Sharkie did always prefer Bulk over Skull. They separated, but they're still friends. They have a son, Felix, aged 17, and he's seriously considering dropping out and going on a cross country road trip to find himself. He doesn't know what he wants or who he is. He's a lot like his parents, but he's not sure if that was just trying to make them happy or if he genuinely likes these things. They tried by him, he knows this. He's not even half bad. He just doesn't know if he's supposed to be having a midlife crisis at 17. Will be solar green ranger, and realize he enjoys country-rock (the kind of country rock that talks about murders, curses and being a gunslinger in a loveless land or people randomly turning into crows), has a knack for learning new languages, and likes ballet. He's been in ballet since he was four but so was Sharkie so the confirmation he likes it is nice. Also learns he likes playing piano, genuinely. Also nice. He comes home quite happy and a lot more settled into himself, and Skull and Sharkie are proud of him.
Tasha;
It was a complete accident, and they both feel really weird about it. But they kept the kid. Tuskin "Tusk" Skullovitch is lead singer in a punk band, and a bit of a bully at school. He's brilliant but finds it difficult to apply himself in anything he doesn't find an interest in. He loves puns, and loves confusing people. He likes studying rocks because rock music. It takes people a second. He's been smacked more than once over this, but doesn't mind. Bit clever, bit bored, bit of a troublemaker, bit of a pain in his parent's necks. Eugene does love his kid but wow, he's a little bit of a snot. Eugene's forced him into being a lifeguard over the summer to just-try and get this kid some sort of friendship with someone so he can have an attitude adjustment.
Marleau Eskin;
Surprisingly not the worst. He got her to be less of a bitch in an incident were they were taken together by a monster, and he actually lost his temper and snapped at her. When she tried to deflect by getting him to back down with a challenge (which to be fair normally worked), he raised an eyebrow, took a breath, and let loose. To say she had to do some soul searching after the extremely thorough roast would be putting it mildly. She stopped being as much of a mean girl, and he asked her out to prom. More as a dare, but she said yes. One thing led to another and while they don't talk anymore, they do have joint custody of their son Rusty Eskin. Marleau is the mayor of Angel Grove, Skull is a mechanic. It's kind of a whiplash every other month to go from mayor manor to an apartment over a carshop, but Rusty doesn't mind very much. Marleau's learned to be a lot nicer over the years, and she's a much milder version of herself to her son. Rusty on his part likes being at the carshop almost more than the manor, but it's less to do with Marleau and more to do with he hates the reputation he gets with "the mayor's son" and much prefers getting his hands dirty on a car with his dad. He likes problem solving, and fixing things. He likes shop class and he built his own motorcycle for one of the classes. He got his license and he's promised both parents he'll be careful. And he has been. He's also orange turbo ranger. This suits him more than fine.
Candice/Zelya;
Candice told him the truth about who she was, and to put it mildly, he was hurt. He had to put his foot down and tell her he needed to think about it. He really needed to think about what he was going to be doing, and what they were going to be. She waited, and he came back. And was accepting of it, mainly because she'd bit the bullet and been honest. However he had ground rules. She couldn't lie to him, if they had a kid (because things happen) the kid was going to be co-parented and if she wanted to raise future kids as an Eltaran fine but either they spent time on earth or Skull lived with them, or they did the best they could on earth. She was just grateful he was willing to try. Bulk eventually forgave her, when she went against her commander and stopped being the Bronze Guardian for the sake of her relationship with Skull. She fought in the Eltaran War against the Eltarans. While she was captured with the intent of re-educating, she was rescued by Jason and Billy.
They have a daughter, and Spike. Their daughter is Zephyr Skullovitch. she's sixteen, and she and Spike do get taught Eltaran tradition, as much as possible, on earth. Zephyr's got the Z name as she resembles Zelya more in a lot more ways. Spike's got more human dna here, but his sister's blue as a blueberry. Zephyr is best described as 'prickly' or 'grumpy' and the only person who gets her to smile is her brother. The pink ranger tries, but keeps striking out. Zelya wants to be an interdimensional diplomat, and travel universe to universe and see everything. She wants to see everything, know everything, experience everything. Intense, bull headed, one track minded, and has an almost destructive lack of self worth and imposter syndrome. almost. She might not believe in herself but her brother and her parents do. And the pink ranger chick. possibly. Zephyr is not associated with a color.
Matthew Cook;
Matt dives head first into the villain persona, and is happily doing so. He's thriving. Until he's forced into an ultimatum; save Bulk and Skull from certain death by the hands of Goldar, or vanquish the Solar Rangers. Against his better judgment, he saves Bulk and Skull. Skull, unfortunately for timing wise, had said he'd kiss whoever saved their lives minutes before Matt saved them. He's a man of his word, but he also punched him in the mouth immediately after. Matt's confused as hell. So instead of chasing after Kim, begins chasing after Skull because what was THAT. This leads to a very weird redemption arc because Matt has realized 2 things; he likes being kissed by Skull and he does not want Skull mad at him anymore. Cut to fifteen years later; they've got a kid of their own and no actual idea how they got there really. But, they're happy, don't hate each other's guts, their kid's thriving, it's all good. The entire empire of evil absolutely hates them though and Matt somehow managed to get himself on the shit list of Thor. As long as he doesn't go out while it's thunderstorming he should be fine.
Their son is ten, his name is Jude Cook. Jude is one of the weirdly luckiest kids alive. He's survived an insane amount of attempts on his life, falls, kidnappings, and things he should otherwise not survive. His parents have stopped asking how. Loki helped give them a son, which is partly why Thor's pissed, so they've at this point accepted demigod baby is just gonna do what a demigod baby do. It's probably for the best. Spike's his older brother, and is training with Loki to be some sort of spirit of shapeshifting mischief. They both love causing mild trouble. Like Skull, Jude's got a fear of flying which makes things a little interesting. Skull's got his sons and his partner on a very very strict promise; if the shenanigans could cause an enemy of something power, walk away. Walk far away. Neptune exists. We don't want to get on the bad side of Neptune.
in a tangential version, Billy coparents with the two, and studies demigod ten year old, and deals with the Norse gods being in his business. At the very least nobody's been sucked into Ares' prison jar, so that's good.
*Bonus Poly of Billy Cranston, Matt Cook, and Eugene Skullovitch has all above children mentioned. They live in a large house, Eugene's a famous rockstar and restaurant chain owner, and they actually use every room in said house. In this version they met via Matt asking the only person he knew with experience in bdsm for some help with his newly realized kinks; Skull's payment was pizza nights and then Billy got dragged in because he was certain Matt was abusing Skull, but realized it was fine, actually. And fun.

Some Rito have officially joined the Botwcast lineup! I’m slowly working hermits into what is primarily a Yogscast au, and discovering totk lore is definitely giving me a lot to think about bdjfgbdgkb
Here’s an assortment of doodles featuring a bunch of random here-there stuff I’ve been thinking about for the au, ranging from important plot stuff to silly side-character shenanigans :]
Featuring (in order): Rito Grian (who may or may not be the stand-in for Tulin in totk), Rito False (Rito warrior!), Rito Lomadia (who becomes the rito elder by totk), botw Nano who’s infected by malice and swears she’s no more feral or violent than normal because of it, Stable owner Jimmy who’s NOT related to Grian despite what Grian keeps telling all of their friends, Stable owner Bdubs who claims to have the best horse stock in all of Hyrule, an updated Nano design for totk and Etho who has similar gloom scars, and… whatever Doc has going on. Haven’t figured out the logistics yet, but I think it’d be hilarious if what happened to link’s arm somehow happened to Doc’s face. I had to Doc-ificate his face somehow and this was too funny of a concept not to at least draw DFBJGB

me and sky were talking about this but if link ever noclips into hermitcraft he would totally mistaken doc for some weird crazy alternate universe ganondorf
green ✅ destructive ✅ has an evil laugh ✅
and to make matters worse the entirety of the hermitcraft server are zelda nerds so they would totally play along and lie to link for fun. link is convinced that grian is an incarnation of the hero’s spirit but a rito and grian goes along with it gleefully. they ask false to play tetra from wind waker and she doesn’t even need to do much because she’s already Like That.
link spends the entire stay at hermitcraft getting increasingly concerned about the state of hyrule however many years into the future he’s been booted into. there’s no more rito village, goron city, gerudo town, or zora’s domain. only an insane fucking land of a billion buildings and supervillain lairs. and to make matters worse “zelda” and “rito link” are just CHILL with “ganondorf” running around. ganondorf has threatened destruction upon multiple “cities.” he fired floating wither skulls at that poor hylian’s park. and they’re all just chill with it?!!
link is convinced hermitcraft is a really fucked up place, and he’s right, just for all the wrong reasons

Hi! I wanted to ask something regarding Pinesong and Tears of the Kingdom if that's alright with you.
How would a Pinesong sequel that takes place before or during the events of the game work out? would it even happen?
Yeah, you're fine! Somebody else asked me the same thing, actually, so I've been thinking it over the past few days. I don't have a full plot figured out (lol nor do I intend to write a totk-compliant sequel 😜), but I can imagine how some of it might go.
Minor spoilers for TotK ahead:
I guess to start out, I do feel bad that Pinesong Link in particular would have to go back under the castle 😭 I think he would have done it, though, with people getting sick and something like Malice rising out from beneath it. I suppose it's because of the similarities between Gloom and Malice that he would have gone back to the Great Deku Tree to retrieve the Master Sword, which was left in Korok Forest during Pinesong. Revali would understand. He would Not Be Pleased.
He would not go down with them, I think, which means there's a lovely, angst-ridden portion of time (days? weeks?) where Link is recovering/stuck making his way through the sky island, and Revali doesn't know if Link is even alive but also can't search for him the way he wants to because of everything happening with Rito Village (with Mipha stuck in a similar situation re: Zelda, of course. Oooooh, wonder if there's a way to work something interesting in with Mipha and all those false Zelda appearances? Hmm. 👀)
This is where the combination of TotK and BotW Champions gets hazy for me, because I don't want to take away from the development that the new Champions/Sages go through (there's a satisfaction to passing the torch on to the next generation), but Revali would have absolutely wanted to go up to investigate the source of the storm and I don't think Teba would have stopped him like he did Tulin. You could write it where Ganon specifically takes out all of the old Champions when they go to investigate the disturbances, though it kind of sucks that they would all have to get rescued by Link *again* 😂 Alternatively, there's a fuzzy connection building in my mind between the Champions, the Divine Beasts (which apparently got sent to eeby deeby in TotK but which still existed in the world of Pinesong), and the Divine Beast helms that the ancient sages all wore for some reason. Maybe the Champions all go missing in their various regional disturbances, but due to some interference other than Ganon? I'll have to sit on that one for a bit 🤔
Main plot stuff aside, given Tulin's gifts, pre-TotK I think Revali would definitely have taken Tulin under his wing (sorry). With Tulin's arc so focused on learning to depend on others, I wonder if Revali would have seen himself in Tulin and winced at what he saw. I wonder if Revali would still have passed the Great Eagle Bow on to Tulin when he awakened as a sage. I think maybe he would have.
Pinesong Link would totally roll with the Stable Trotters. He would love pizza. Revali would hate the depths (no sky). Can't speak to what Kass would be doing, because. You know. 🙃
There's maybe more I could come up with, but it seems like I've gone on for long enough already 😂 Hope any of this was interesting to you!

Okay so while I'm 99.999999% sure that BoTW and ToTK take place on their own timeline (I've even figured out where the divergence must have occurred for the events in those games to take place as they did and wrote a spoileriffic post all about it), there is at least one other option. Maybe two.
Spoilers and 1300+ words of lore and theory nonsense under the cut.
There are some things I've noticed that, when put together, form a very interesting possibility. It's not nearly as solid as the concept of this being an entirely different timeline altogether, and separately these things don't mean much of anything. Viewed together, though, they do seem to point in a fairly distinct direction.
Key points:
The Depths are full of massive ancient fossilized tree roots
Hyrule as a whole is heavily populated with the remains of absolutely enormous fossilized tree stumps
The Koroks exist, but the Kokiri don't
The Rito exist, as do the Zora
These Zora can live in freshwater or saltwater without suffering negative effects
Ganondorf refers to Sonia as being Hyrulean, not Hylian, in spite of Hyrule as a kingdom being founded by her and Rauru
Triforce imagery already exists back in that time period, to the point that Sonia has it tattooed on her body
This...may actually be the far-flung future of the WindWaker timeline.
Points 1, 2 and 3:
In WindWaker, the Deku Tree created the Koroks out of the Kokiri so that they would survive in some capacity after the Goddesses flooded the world. They traverse the world dropping seeds in the hopes that the trees born from those seeds will take root deep enough to join together and recreate land.
The Depths are full of ancient fossilized trees. Hyrule is covered in their remains. The Koroks travel the world for reasons unknown. The Lost Woods contain both a Lake Saria and a Mido Swamp, which we can say are just shout-outs to previous titles—except that Urbosa mentions Nabooru by name in BoTW, meaning that she existed. And if she existed, in the capacity that we know her from Ocarina of Time, then Saria existed. And yet the Koroks exist, and the Kokiri don't.
Points 4 and 5:
In WindWaker, the Rito used to be the Zora. They were magically evolved over time because they couldn't survive the flood, there was something wrong with the water. In Ocarina of Time, Zoras appear to be strictly freshwater entities; there are oceanic Zora in Majora's Mask, but that's either so far back on the timeline that Hylia and Demise haven't landed yet, or it's an alternate timeline altogether. In BoTW and ToTK, the Zora are very clear that they can survive in basically any water. They've tested this. They know they'll be fine no matter what.
Rito and Zoras in BoTW and ToTK have very, very similar body shapes, with long torsos and long arms and short legs, very limited sexual dimorphism, and expression of features similar to multiple different real-world animals that live in their respective environments. Teba is a harpy eagle, Kass is a sapphire macaw, Revali is a Steller's jay, Penn is a pelican; Mipha seems to be a false killer whale, Sidon is a hammerhead shark, King Dorephan is a blue whale, Yona is a devil ray.
Unlike the Rito in WindWaker, these Rito are literally just birds. They don't have to go earn their wings, they grow flight feathers at certain levels of maturity just like normal birds. Unlike the Zora in previous titles, who seemed to age at a rate on-pace with Hylians, the Zora age similarly to some some rare deep sea animals—coelacanths, for instance, reach physical maturity around 40-60 years old. (Reminder that coelacanths were also assumed to be wiped out, leaving behind only differently-evolved relatives.)
If we assume that the Koroks' mission was successful, then the Zora could very well have come back into being intentionally, the same way that they became the Rito in the first place. Some remained as Rito, while others chose to branch off and recreate what they used to be, using magic and careful breeding to make sure that they wouldn't die if the water turned against them again. Likewise, the Rito changed alongside them to become more suited to the changing environment, until they reached a point where they don't even remember that they came from the same place. (EDIT: Lending further credence to this possibility, the Stormwind Ark literally looks like two seahorses swimming side by side. Not birds. Nothing airborne. Seahorses.)
Points 6 and 7:
The existence of the Triforce as a holy symbol and the use of "Hyrulean" to describe someone of Hylian descent indicates that Rauru and Sonia didn't create Hyrule as a place, but organized it as a nation. The land of Hyrule already existed, it just wasn't under anyone's rule. Rauru and Sonia, with the power that they possessed, were able to organize the land on which they lived to create a kingdom—it was already called Hyrule, they just took control.
This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever in any context that I can think of outside the WindWaker timeline, where the destined bearers of the Triforce and the Hylian royal family haven't existed for ages. One of three points in the timeline where Ganondorf was killed, not just sealed away. (The other two being Twilight Princess and ToTK.) Until this point, Ganondorf is always the same Ganondorf. He's the same person as he was in Ocarina of Time—the Triforce of Power made him immortal, that's why all anyone could ever do was seal him up. The Master Sword is the sword that seals the darkness, not the sword that destroys the darkness.
There's a really interesting bit in the Twilight Princess manga that, while I know it's noncanon for the games, lends a lot of credence to the idea that Ganondorf in ToTK is the first time that Ganondorf has been properly and truly reincarnated.
Trigger warning for mention of suicide, and spoiler warning for the Twilight Princess manga.
Toward the end of the manga, during the final battle, Link is losing. Link is going to lose. He comes to the realization that he can't kill Ganondorf not because Ganondorf is stronger than him, but because he's just one part of a whole—and Link and Zelda make up the rest of it. Link realizes that he doesn't have the right to kill Ganondorf, because they need each other to exist. He was chosen by Din for a reason, like Link was chosen by Farore and Zelda was chosen by Nayru, and even if nobody knows why Din allowed that to happen that doesn't make it the right of one Goddess' champion to kill another. Ganondorf refuses to accept this, and kills himself so that he can finally be swept into the reincarnation cycle along with Link and Zelda, rather that just living forever and meeting new versions of them again and again. He demands the opportunity to reset and do what he wants without the fetters of his previous attempts weighing on him, with a promise to return someday and take what he deserves.
Ganondorf dies at the end of WindWaker, and it's very possible that he wouldn't be reborn again until the time period where Hyrule would be revived. Ganondorf is the destined bearer of the Triforce of Power—and Rauru is the Sage of Light, but he very clearly serves as a stand-in for the Triforce of Courage, while Sonia presumably stood in for Wisdom until Zelda arrived. At that point, given that Zelda is the destined bearer chosen by Nayru in order to bolster her ability to interface with Hylia (or to house her outright), any protection that position could have granted Sonia was lost, and Ganondorf was able to kill her where he couldn't have killed Zelda.
Do I think this is the case? Almost certainly not. Do I think it's possible? Absolutely.
The other possibility is that Ganondorf in WindWaker succeeded in his wish to reset the timeline and undo everything and the Goddesses took advantage of the wish and rolled it back so far that they removed the Triforce from the timeline altogether in the hopes that Ganondorf would never come into being at all. This new timeline would thereby be the result of that, but there's not much to indicate that beyond the fact that the Imprisoning War is literally the events of Ocarina of Time without the Triforce or Link, down to Zelda watching him kneel in front of the King of Hyrule and ask for allegiance, then telling that king that Ganondorf is obviously evil. I swear it's almost word for word. Zelda. Don't be racist.

Niente dovrebbe essere più semplice di parlare a letto, stendersi insieme è un rito antico, è l’emblema di due persone reciprocamente oneste. Eppure, sempre più tempo si passa in silenzio. Fuori, un’ansietà di vento raggruppa e disperde le nuvole nel cielo. E città oscure si annunciano all’orizzonte. A nessuna di queste cose importa veramente di noi. E niente ci spiega perché a questa siderale distanza dalla solitudine sia invece sempre più difficile, almeno per una volta, trovare parole oneste e gentili o almeno non false, non meschine.
Philip Larkin, Parlare a letto, da Le nozze di Pentecoste e altre poesie, Einaudi, 1969

i looked back at ur movie post and quick, Rito don't think about how technomorphs and body alterations in pursuit of a false perfection probably ended up slowly becoming a staple in their horror genre after shockblast existed and how shockwave's gotta see all those. don't think about it ooooo
(Bonus for my boys: the sudden uptick in movies making it out as him being a monster freaks him out so badly rung has to cradle his helm against his chest and stroke his cheeks and give him kisses. he didn't mean to. he didn't- it was - it was the lenses he wouldn't have done that if he had the choice... he didnt' have any choice its not fair. it isnt FAIR.)
oh man i cannot find it on my own blog but i know the post ur talking about and YEAH i think like. there's already a bit of that trope in the general horror genre, with Mutacons and maybe some slashers who got too deep into body modding, and then you have apparently these magical, mysterious relics capable of just remaking a person entirely and they do this indiscriminately, to children and innocents and people just trying to do their jobs and nobody knows what the next victim is going to be like! it's new and strange every time! and then you have a particularly sneaky corrupted relic with Shockblast who can essentially go undercover as his uncorrupted self indefinitely which adds a whole new layer of horror
the first four years, especially the fourth year, of the JAAT are just an absolute buffet for in-universe horror writers looking for inspiration
