C 'mere Wind I've ANGST to share

Oh boy guys I've been thinking and you know what THAT means

So, to start, let me just say that Wind's character design as a young teen could very well just be rooted in the fact that in the games he's based on he is very young, so for continuity's sake JoJo just continued the theme to add a little variety in the character set. Which is smart, and good, and I want more and worse for the Chain than that

An important question to ask is why on Earth Hylia would ever choose a hero that young to go on this adventure? Clearly, going by Time's age, she can take them from any point in their timeline, but she notably didn't take Time after Majora's Mask when he was mentally an adult but physically a child still, fresh from his adventures and arguably a better fighter than he would from being semi-retired on a Ranch for years. And yet for some reason she choose Wind as a kid, still, which just-

Doesn't make sense.

Because Wind is strong, and a good fighter, and clever to boot, but he could be better. He's not fully grown in LU, hasn't yet reached his full potential in terms of speed, strength, reach, or any of the other myriad of ways an adult body is undeniably better suited for combat than a 14ish year old's is. As good as he is now, he'd only get better as a fighting hero as he grew up

So why wouldn't Hylia grab him as an adult, in the prime of his fighting ability for this very dangerous, all important quest to save all the timelines?

She couldn't.

Why else? Why else would she choose a weaker form of the heroes she's selected? A kid who is experienced but still caught in all the downsides of a still growing body, all the physical shortcomings of youth.

Why, except that there is no older Wind to have taken instead.

I raise you this: Wind dies young. He dies before he ever hits 15 in his timeline, and you can take from that what you want- that he gets back and is killed, or that he never makes it back from this adventure with the Chain at all.

Such an innocuous detail, Wind's age, and the Chain has never wondered at it's significance.

It's almost better, if he dies back at home. Because its either that, or the rest of the Chain looks back and realizes exactly why the Sailor was so young, realizes that if they'd stopped to wonder, to notice and question, then maybe they could have changed it, stopped it, saved him-

The grief would be plenty sharp enough without that, I think.

I fully understand why "character A is astounded at the sight of character B's penis" is a specific kink that gets tagged for, but the fact that some platforms choose to tag this kink as "penis awe" is unintentionally very funny. Now I'm picturing penis experience kink tags for all those other allegedly transcendent emotions in the glossary of your Philosophy 101 textbook. Penis faith. Penis Weltschmerz. Penis apprehension of the absurd.

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

[the-overanalyst]

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.
