#sidlink ask

[kenneduck]

I'm absolutely feral about the whole 'you weigh softly on my heart' phrasing that Sidon uses when he's talking about his feelings for Link and Yona

Like?????

That's so sweet????

I just djjsnsbcksldbhdjakx alsksjajxbsksh

It's great

Brilliant writing and brilliant art, I adore Secret Confessions so much

OMFG THANK YOU! That means so much, honestly! I'm thankful you said that. It helps me be more proud of my writing, which I am incredibly self conscious of when it isn't comedy-based.

Also, damn the yassification of Sidon in my art needs to be studied.

More sidlink because I have the power to draw it

[mochiobonio]

shhh they're having a moment

[vicaly]

Braids

Aka Sidon refuses to admit both his hands are stuck in Link's hair after his failed attempt at a braid. How long does he stay there contemplating life? We'll never know :)

[demiboydemon]

Link: My girlfriend was chasing me around in PE today

Revali: Which one bitch

It was Sidon this time

[lovesart23]

Do you two have any fun matching couples outfits?

DRAW SIDLINK <3333 /lh

(requests post)

There ya go! First time drawing a Zora-

Sidon looks sorta weird to me rendering wise but I like the drawing :D

Also the brush I use to render is called "hard round", thought you'd appreciate that

Sorta inspired on this DDVAU scene

[blueskittlesart]

swings with you. i think sidon is the perfect capsulation of how men and mlm ships take precedent. he's a fairly boring character 😭 the only thing he really has going for him is that he's hot and "himbo" so ppl r obsessed w shipping him w twink link.

why are conversations about sidon so predominant when the narrative of totk is so clearly putting more focus on zelda. can she have one thing im begging here

thank god im not the only one. christ. like i feel like the only thing sidon has going for him is that he's a hot man. his story is like. fairly straightforward 'i had a family member who died and i am grieving her' which like. multiple other characters in botw had. i would argue that the other champions in botw had more interesting stories than him (riju's struggles to lead her people at age FOURTEEN, teba fighting for his son and the future of his family, etc etc.) sidon isn't a BAD character by any means but he wasn't a GREAT character either and i NEVER saw any chemistry between him and link. 90% of what people seem to like about him is just. fanon shit. can we please just drop him and talk about women for once i am begging

[only-gooberstins]

hiiii i just wanted to say your art of trans link makes me so so happy like i already project onto him and seeing his surgery scars is just !! ugh it makes my day plus the way you draw him ?? amazing. that’s all have a lovely day :)

also the sidlink goes hard i love them sm

[rosakai]

Annnnd now I have someone (probably the same person doing it just so I can’t block them) anonymously sending me asks accusing me of hating Zelda just because I don’t have the interest of playing as her outside of Hyrule Warriors, don’t ship her with Link except in Skyward Sword, and ship Sidlink in the BOTW games.

Point out to me exactly where, in any of my posts, I said I hate Zelda.

….

Oh, that’s right, you literally CAN’T, because I have never said that.

I’ve never hated Zelda. Ever.

You say that I’m being annoying when you’re the one going around accusing me of something I never said.

I swear the Zelda and Link shippers who accuse Sidlink shippers of being toxic are in reality the most toxic “fans” in existence.

[kenneduck]

Would your Yona also have feelings for Link? Or perhaps she sees him as a good friend? Would Sidon get jealous seeing Link ride HER in the water lol

Hmm, so I've been hesitant to answer this, but I kind of want to! I'll just say that what I'm GOING to say isn't canon for Secret Confessions when it comes to Link, but this is how I like to write her character, and to make full sense of it, I'll just say how I imagine both Yona's relationships w/ Sidon and Link here...

Yona I imagine was a childhood friend of Sidon, who met him through her family member, Muzu. As she's from the same domain Muzu/Dorephan was from originaly before Dorephan married Sidon/Mipha's mother and moved into the Hyrule Zora's Domain. Yona was there to comfort Sidon after he lost Mipha, as the two both mourned her and leaned on each other. Though, the two spent less time together as Sidon grew older, so their romantic feelings didn't grow until after their arranged marriage.

I HC Yona to be like demiromantic + asexual, so I view Yona and Sidon's romance differently than Sidon and Link's. Yona loves Sidon as her husband. Her love for him is strong, and she feels so safe in his arms and by his side. She didn't have romantic feelings for him when they were first arranged, but he's just so charismatic and lovable, and quite honestly funny. In a way Yona didn't get to see much when he was younger. She can't get over how much heart he's grown to have, but still manage to be the most lovable ditz in her life. She worried at first with the marriage that it would be nothing more than a political one, especially as she grew very aware of Sidon's blatant attraction for his dearest friend, but she quickly realized how big his heart was. That she also had a place in it. Sidon fell in love with Yona's comfort, her genuine care, and the way she's able to speak so heartfelt with such ease and consideration. She's the smartest person he knows, and he's so happy that she's the Zora Queen. He also loves how cuddly she is, and that when the two are alone, it's spent in each others arms. She's so comforting.

After Link joins the picture, Yona is more than happy to see Sidon's heart full. That, and she most definitely can enjoy breaks from her husband, and even though she enjoys his cuddles and endless compliments, she also enjoys her alone time. She also feels glad that Sidon has someone that... loves him in a way she doesn't. She's never felt pressured by Sidon to be intimate. Even with him always explaining his love for her isn't defined by intimacy, she's found herself guilty for not loving Sidon in that way. The first time she spots a Zora bite on Link, she's overwhelmed with laughter. She's happy, and Link clearly is too, as he isn't trying to hide it at all. Yona feels a weight of sort off her shoulders from this... so thankfully Link had a mark on his LMAO.

When it comes to sleeping arrangements, if Link is there that night, the three share a bed in Sidon and Yona's quarters that is big enough for the three. Where Link and Yona sandwich Sidon between them, and the three cuddle the night away. Yona, at first, is cautious about sticking to her side of the bed. She wants to avoid Link, not because she dislikes him, but she knows he loves Sidon, not her. She doesn't mind sticking to her side of the bed, but one morning when she wakes up to Link cuddling her and Sidon snoring on the other side of Link, she's overwhelmed. Though, she strangely feels comforted, and she quite enjoys it, which only causes her alarm and she gently unwraps Link around her. This happens a few times, and Yona feels a bit confused at the experiences. She doesn't DISLIKE them, but she also feels a bit guilty when she admits she is finding Link quite comforting in the way she finds Sidon.

Yona finds herself giggling more at Link's feral like behaviors. Finding herself blushing a bit when Link and Sidon swim around the reservoir. When she and Link talk alone, she feels a comfort that leaves her confused. She wants to know more, be around him more, but she knows that isn't what Link wants.

But again, one morning after she wakes up, she's met with Sidon on the other side of Link. Sidon is awake, and with Yona's movements, Link awakens, too. Yona expects Link to give his usual morning kiss to Sidon, but with Link used to Sidon being to his left, he, without opening his eyes, gives Yona a peck, leaving Sidon AND Yona both confused and speechless. Link opens his eyes to the sight, and immediately apologizes, turning redder than Sidon. Yona explains all is well, but her heart is racing, and she's overwhelmed because she LIKED the kiss, and with her guilt, she runs out.

Later that day, Link meets Yona alone, and he apologizes for the morning. Link noticed Yona hadn't returned from the reservoir, and knew this accidental kiss was something they wouldn't just forget about. When Link apologizes, Yona apologizes too, as she admits she liked it, and that she apologizes for falling for Link, too. Link is silent for what feels like a long time. But when he walks over to Yona and hugs her, she's surprised. Link admits he's grown his own love for Yona with their time spent together. It's different than his love for Sidon, but it's more than just as a friend. He does love her, and he's sorry for the kiss, but if she's okay with it, he'd like to make a proper kiss next time. To which Yona agrees, and the two kiss again.

Sidon of fucking course is overly excited at the news, as this presents so many more cuddling and date options. The three get along swimmingly, and well, Sidon wouldn't get jealous of Link swimming on Yona's back. He'd just be waiting impatiently for his turn LMAO.

Every time Link dies he gets to fuck one more married man

[hylian-twink]

heyyyy, so i know i’m supposed to be working on my magnum opus botw retelling but what if i told you i had a 23k word ficlet where link is pregnant with sidon’s kid already finished?? would anyone want that? just wondering hehe hypothetically…..

[goodness-graceous]

many zel*nk shippers when ANYONE tries to be happy about and enjoy a different ship involving Zelda or Link:

(this is about b*tw/t*tk, but can apply to any of the games if y’all wish 😌)

[elliethecat]

Tell me how you *truly* feel about sidlink

They're amazing, what else would I have said? Personally, I find them wonderful and I love them ❤️

[ask-sidlink]

ooc: not prin! muahahaha :)

Link: forgive me if I'm wrong, but did Mipha have romantic feelings towards you before the calamity, and did you reciprocate?

Sidon (if the above is true): I imagine there must be feelings involved when dating your sister's crush/ boyfriend/ fiancee (wherever it got to for Mipha and Link). Does it feel sweet like a connection to her or like a funny family trait, or does it feel weird? are their mixed feelings because obviously you love your sister but do you ever get the impression that had the calamity not succeeded the first time, and had your sister not died, you might not be in this wonderful relationship? is there any gladness that it did happen? if so how does that make you feel?

-🐬

🗡 - She did, and no I didn't reciprocate it. I just didn't really want to get in a relationship at that time.

🦈 - I would have no clue how Mipha feels about it because as you said she's dead, but I can imagine she'd be happy for me. I am glad that I can be in this relationship with Link, though I would appreciate having Mipha here with me. In a different universe, maybe I'd be dating Bazz or Rivan while Link would be dating my sister!
