TC Nickname Meanings pt.1

Here’s a list of the meaning behind each hero’s (and Zelda/counterpart’s) names:

Hero (Hylia’s hero, first of the hero's spirit)

Starting off strong we have Hero. He was the first mentioned in the Skyward Sword manga and the source of the Hero’s spirit that runs through every subsequent hero of courage. Coincidentally, his favorite food is also sandwiches.

This title was bestowed upon him by the goddess Hylia and carries a lot of weight for him so he goes by Hero. His non-Zelda counterpart is Hylia Herself, who simply uses Her own name.

Chosen (The Chosen Hero, hero of the skies)

Similar to Hero, this Link was the first chosen by Hylia’s reincarnation, Zelda. He simply goes by his hero title, granted to him by the sword spirit Fi, who he has yet to part with.

Chosen sees his Zelda not just a reincarnation of the goddess but also his true love, his light, his everything, his fated, his destiny. Thus he chooses to nickname her Destiny. She chose him but it was destiny that brought them together in the first place. He likes to tell the others it’s because it compliments his own nickname nicely, but everyone knows better. She thinks it’s sweet.

Mighty (Hero of Men, the mighty hero)

When he is gifted the goddess sword and forges it into the Picori Blade, he befriends the dormant sword spirit. She refers to him as a hero of great might and resolve and thanks him for granting her freedom. She shortens it to the mighty hero and the name kinda sticks.

He isn’t too close to the Zelda of his era, a valiant and headstrong woman who lead the operation to defeat the remnants of Demise. She's not the biggest fan of her given name anyway so she chooses to go by her middle name, Valorie. Their names also correspond to Might and Valor since they fought a couple of battles together (the sword spirit stuck to Valorie and aided her in combat instead of Mighty).

Mini (Hero of the Minish, hero to all great and small)

He’s small and gets even smaller. His grandpa always calls him squirt, jack, or mini. Mini doesn’t mind anyway so he just reuses that nickname around the other heroes.

His game is full of fairytale references and Zelda reminds him of the Princess and the Pea story so he nicknames her Pea. She thinks it’s silly and likes it, they joke around about it as kids do.

"When he reached a displacement of eight he told us he was dead."

"He sees the wolves have formed up around him. Eight of them."

"The greatest gaiaforms of our solar system are eight in number—or, if you prefer, [N]ine—but asteroids and minor planets have them too. And in their sidereal generosity, these gaiaforms will protect us, if we ask them."

Fist of Eight Moons

"Only in the Ascendant Plane—where a well-defended idea is a reality—do these moons, in this small way, still exist."

"Eight Barons and an Awoken prince - and only one of you. I so dislike betting on the underdog… But you are resourceful…"

"The man turned to his left and saw a familiar, weathered face staring up at the eight Barons of the Tangled Shore."

"’Sundance’ appears to be the victim of a single, catastrophic wound from a Devourer Bullet, modified to fire from a Scorn launcher. Projectile classified as ontological.”

“Define Devourer Bullet.”

"Is it a simple answer? Perhaps none who serve you have the capacity to grasp your vision. And so, rather than waste more of your time and attention on explaining something they will never hold, it is enough that they act as you will. The Witch and her Hive carving single-mindedness out of the cloth of the universe, that whispering Nightmare seeking the fullest gamut of existence, the Upender destroying all differentiation. Shadows on the wall.

In this case, it would be hubris to think I have understood your work, that I alone among your Disciples have grasped what purpose it is we serve. All of us must see darkly reflected.

But there is relief in simplification. There is kindness in winnowing. So then, why is this proliferation permitted?

The shadows, showing the truth by their casting. [...]

There: I have resolved the conflict within my thoughts, and I am at peace again. Once more, I am only your violence and nothing more.

Who am I?

Call me Coyote. Call me mantis, serpent, Cagn, Anansi, call me Sri-cleans-his-brother's-stomach. Call me the grandmaster of semiosis, the jeweler's hammer which gilds the signal, a purposeful mob none of whose members know its purpose, the infinite regress of enigmas, a self-questioning answer, the word not spoken, black ice, cataract of mimes, the ache and fever of overthought while bedridden with illness, the intolerable thorn of frustrated inquisition, gray regret at the end of a fruitless day, the thing which is unlike your beloved but arbitrarily recalls your beloved to agonizing effect, architrave of the no-window, needle driven in flush with skin so that desperate fingers cannot pull it out, sweet petal, unmemorable, crystal death, the provably improvable.

Here at the center, I lie to you the truth. You have everything you need to know it, but I will give you a clue, as the duelist gives warning before she draws. The answer you seek to the Dreaming City is simple, not complex.

In primordial space, timeless creatures made waves. These waves created us and the others. Waves were the battles, and the battles were waves. Fleeing all W'rkncacnter, Yrro and Pthia settled upon Lh'owon. They brought the S'pht, servants who began to shape the deserts of Lh'owon into marsh and sea, rivers and forests. They made sisters for Lh'owon to protect and maintain the paradise. When the W'rkncacnter came, Pthia was killed, and Yrro in anger, flung the W'rkncacnter into the sun. The sun burned them, but they swam on its surface.

Marathon 2, Six Thousand Feet Under terminal: ax1-40^23<094.95.28.85>

Oryx went down into his throne world. He went out into the abyss, and with each step he read one of his tablets, so that they became like stones beneath his feet. He went out and he created an altar and he prepared an unborn ogre. He called on the Deep, saying: I can see you in the sky. You are the waves, which are battles, and the battles are the waves. Come into this vessel I have prepared for you. And it arrived, the Deep Itself.

XXXI: battle made waves

Verse 4:1 — battle made waves

[blakistan]

You know, I'm still a little (very extremely) bummed that Ergo Sum exclusively draws from Light-based exotics despite its link to Prismatic. Honestly the only reason I can think that it doesn't include Stasis and Strand rolls is that they didn't want to step on Tessellation's toes as the one-and-only special ammo energy slot weapon that can be any element (which is a paper-thin reason honestly). That or they'd have to make a version for the kinetic slot which means they'd need to fix the animation issues with kinetic swords/glaives. There's also the even more paper-thin idea that there aren't enough/any good choices for Ergo Sum intrinsics among existing exotics, so! Here are some ideas I had for Darkness-based ES rolls: Traveler's Chosen: Not a new idea but a tweak - Traveler's Chosen itself is kinetic with the Osmosis perk but a TC Ergo Sum rolls as void for whatever reason. So instead, in addition to its existing function, TC rolls match their damage type to your equipped super (or perhaps melee ability if we wanted some slightly fancy buildcrafting options) The Navigator: Strand does admittedly struggle from poor exotic selection at the moment, but I think this works well as an Ergo Sum perk. Very simply, heavy attacks Sever enemies and grant Woven Mail to the wielder and nearby allies Final Warning: The original Strand exotic with a very simple gimmick. Similar to the Telesto roll, heavy attacks release a wave of homing projectiles that Unravel targets, with pattern varying between frame types Wish Keeper: This one is probably best kept as simple as possible - heavy attacks suspend targets they hit Verglas Curve/Salvation's Grip: Moving onto Stasis, I'm lumping these together because frankly they both have the same gimmick just applied to different weapon types. For a sword, I have two ideas: either heavy attacks create stasis crystals nearby (number size and pattern varies based on sword frame) or kills create stasis crystals sort of like headstone for swords. I could also see these both being separate intrinsics with SG getting the former idea and VC the latter Wicked Implement: Genuinely I don't think this lends itself that well to Ergo Sum but for completion's sake - for this I'd have heavy attacks slow nearby enemies and picking up stasis shards either boost damage or charge rate Winterbite: Very simple, heavy attacks release a wave of projectiles that track targets and freeze on impact (the same secondary projectiles released from the Winterbite "turret"), with pattern and/or number of projectiles varying based on frame type To keep with the pattern of the other intrinsics I'd guess there'd probably only be two each for Stasis and Strand, same as there is for Solar for a grand total of 12 perks. In a perfect world we'd have three for each but alas here we are.

You couldn’t sleep last night. But it’s not like you have been able to sleep peacefully without nightmares haunting you or the thought of Jungkook- the monster taking over your mind every time you try to sleep.

But this time it wasn’t just his thoughts, but rather his words- what was he talking about when he said that he was going to tell you the truth about your father, and you’d start to would hate him?

You have nothing to do here, all you have to do is sit around, and… dread the thought of him coming back to you. This chamber is so large but all you feel is suffocated.

The golden chandeliers, the silk bed sheet and the sherbet right next to your bed, it all feels too much- you’re in a golden cage.

And you cannot escape.

Yeah, all you can do is sit around, but you’re not willing to do that anymore. If you cannot escape, you just might as well try to walk around this palace, so maybe you’ll feel a sense of control over your own life.

You decide to get up from your bed you take a few steps you look at yourself in the mirror that’s standing, right in front of you, you look so different in these royal clothes, but.. you don’t feel good about yourself.

What did he even see in you? Sure you’re attractive, but there are a lot of more attractive women than you, especially his consorts.

You are nothing when it comes to them- they are the most gorgeous women in Goryeo.

You would feel insecure, but you don’t care- you want him to leave you so you can escape and leave your life freely but in the few days you have realized one thing: that’s just not possible anymore.

This king will never leave you.

You sigh, crying anymore will do you no good, last night, you even came to a conclusion that you have to face your destiny now.

And fearlessly.

As you open your chamber’s door and walk outside you hear commotion. The guards guarding your chamber immediately hear your footsteps, and they bow their head to you and respect.

You visibly cringe.

You lower your head in embarrassment and just make your way through the golden wing. You keep walking the noises become clearer.

“The Kings wedding is in a week. Can you believe this? I thought he would never marry- at least not someone like her.” a court lady is talking to her fellow and you cannot help but listen..

What wedding? And in Less than a week?

Your heartbeat rises because you know they’re talking about you, especially when they mention someone like her with a scoff, and the hint of jealousy, and disgust in their voices, of course you can see their faces.

“yes I cannot believe that it’s not one of the consorts-especially considering their background.. I don’t know what the king is doing, but it’s a foolish move.”

You Cannot help but feel a little insulted at their remarks, you clear your throat and as soon as the maids notice you, you can feel the color from their face drain. All staff stand in alert as you make your presence known.

But you’re not even a queen yet, so why are they behaving like this?

“M-My lady- I’m so sorry… what are you doing here? Do you need anything?” One of them stutters out while the other one is avoiding eye contact with you.

you want to roll your eyes because you’re done with everyone walking all over you like you won’t do anything and now you’ve decided that you’ll fight back against everyone that will disrespect you.

Including Jungkook.

It’s not your fault that he chose you. “what were you guys talking about? What wedding?” The real question is what the fuck they’re talking about.

They gasp, and one of them finally gathers the courage to look into your eyes.

“Y-Your wedding with the- Baby, they’re talking about our wedding.”

Goosebumps.

You tilt your head to look behind you, and you see him standing. With a smirk on his face, but he looks visibly livid. You’re not surprised because he always looks so crazy.

But what the fuck is he doing here? He must be walking here to bother you once again, but this time you’re here.

“Y-Your Majesty!!” The whole staff present cower. Soon you see them all bow again, but this time all of their heads hang low.

Jungkook is right here- speak of the devil, and he shall appear-or more likely? think of the devil, and he shall appear.

Delusional. He’s delusional if he thinks that you’re going to marry him.

“what wedding?” At this point you sound like a broken record, but he doesn’t mind that, instead, he chooses to focus his attention on the two court ladies that you were talking to just now.

“what were you saying about yn just now? I would like to hear it from your own mouth or I cut off your tongue right here.”

Your eyes widen when he threatens to cut off their tongue with a huge smile on his face. He heard the whole conversation like you.

They both start to shake, you can even smell their fear from here, what the fuck is he doing? All he does is traumatize people. “W-What- no- DO NOT INTERRUPT ME YN.” His voice booms as he cuts you off.

You can hear a few whimpers, people are scared.

You want to roll your eyes but it won’t really bring a difference and he always does what he wants

Jungkook is still glaring at the two, “COME ON NOW, SPEAK UP!” he commands, and his author voice, you go silent, because how could he scream at you like this?

He cannot be serious about cutting their tongue.

He’s got his hands folded behind his back and he’s standing tall, all intimidating. His dark curly hair makes him more intimidating. His figure is definitely huge.

He’s quite literally a beast.

“Y-Your majesty pl-please forgive us. It was an honest mistake.. we are so sorry please- please forgive us!” You watch them as they fall to their knees and bow to Jungkook- their shaking bodies make you pity them.

No one should ever have to beg for their life like this. no matter what they have done and even though they have insulted, you definitely felt stringed but you still don’t want them to die.

The fear in their voice will haunt you forever- they are about to die because of you. You have to stop this.

So you decide to swallow your pride, before he can say anything or take out his sword, you can see his hand reaching for it.

Come yn speak up!

“J-Jungkook.” You call out his name, oh, your heart is going to burst for sure, all of this is so overwhelming and intense but you have to keep your composure if you want to save their life.

You’ve never called him by his name.

And he knows that because the way he looks at you immediately has you a little creeped out, he looks starstruck, “J-Jungkook please don’t punish them..”

Your tongue feels bitter as you say his name. “please.” You say once again. It’s so hard for you beg to him but if you have to save someone’s life, you will do it.

“J-Jungkook.”

Did you just call out his name? Oh, he must be hallucinating. Because you would never call out his name like that so softly. You haven’t even said his name.

And even if you have, he doesn’t remember.

“J-Jungkook please don’t punish them..”

It’s like you can hear his thoughts because you decide to call out his name once again, and all of his anger melts down, he looks at you in surprise.

Fuck.

He feels his knees, go weak as you call out his name- he’s been dying to hear you say it. His hand from his sword attached to his pants loosens.

You’re so kind- they and they deserve to die but here you are begging for their life, even though he doesn’t agree with you, but since you asked so nicely, who is he to deny you?

“Oh baby…” he coos, walking towards you, He cannot focus on anyone right now because you just called out his name so kindly for the first time.

He wants to hear you say it again

He can move the mountains for you. “Yn- YOUR MAJESTY I’M SO SORRY FOR INTERRUPTING YOU LIKE THIS, BUT THERE’S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW.”

Oh he’s really going to kill someone now, jungkook scoffs as he halts his steps. “what the fuck is wrong with you? How dare you interrupt me?”

Jungkook looks at the guard instead now, glaring him and if looks could kill he’d be six feet under now. “BARK!” He screams.

“T-There’s an intruder in the Palace! H-He’s asking for the Chief Consort… He is calling her name out like a crazy man.”

What the fuck, he feels his eye twitch and Jungkooks jaw clenches with anger, All of the people are confused and you gasp.

Someone is definitely going to die tonight, Jungkooks sure because he knows for a fact that he is here for you, even though he has no idea about this man.

Without uttering a word, Jungkook storms off.

This man has just come to his own death.

Concepts for my scourge’s daughter oc :3 I hope to do a comic with her one day :3 the kit of a thunderclan warrior named silvermoon and the fearsome scourge, she was born in twoleg place (her ma had fled from thunderclan to be a kittypet b4 the battle with bloodclan) she always wanted to be a warrior cat but when she went to the border the tc patrol sent her away. Desperate she chased after them, making the patrol think she was attacking. She received her eye scar and went wailing home. Now she wants to continue was her father started.

Will she give into her blood soaked destiny or find a way to live with her self unlike her kin before her? Find out in uhm some point in future, maybe

[cupcakeslushie]

This probably seems like a weird question, but is your Shredder homophobic? Because all the kids he's kidnapped seem pretty gay.

He hates queer ppl just because of growing up with Yoshi.

But his hate was too strong, destiny decided to fucking burn his ass with three gay kids, a gay General (TC), having to deal with whatever Bebop and Rocksteady have going on (they are full on gay, Shredder is just too emotionally stupid to comprehend), and after Donnie leaves Draxum, for a short time, occasionally having to listen to the goat man’s lamentations of Lou Jitsu and how “he was the perfect human specimen. Just absolutely beautiful. Magnificent. Where did I go wrong??”

[harriertail]

Omen of the Stars reread + a lot of thoughts

The Fourth Apprentice

The cover is actually the best cover in the series are you kidding me? Its so pretty. The yellow blue and dark green r so nice

Why does the TC/ShC stream drying up affect the lake water level and not the RiverClan... river? Does the Moonpool stream still run???

Every mention of Squirrel and Leaf sitting together "so close they were like kits just out the nursery" is an actual STAB in the chest. They go thru so much :((((

A flash flood seems to take out the beaver den (or its just poorly worded?) so what was the point of the journey...

Dovewings personality is snappier than i think pple give her credit for, I kinda enjoy her

Tigerheart literally does not interact with her on the mission lmao what is he on about 'I'm gonna miss you'

Jayfeather missing Lionblaze is act so painful :(

Fading Echoes

So much of the opening of these books is just recounting previous events and character arcs omg this goes for all WC books.

Hollyleaf :(

Blossompaw's siblings joke that she moons over Toadstep. Idk why fucking Thornclaw becomes her mate later on then :/

What is Tigerheart doing on the border ? he doesnt explain it? I actually thought that he was already meeting Dovepaw secretly but then hes not like what is he doing...?

Dovepaw being worried for the other Clans + her thoughts about having this power should put her above the Clan rules could be so interesting. the series back-and-forths over Lionblaze (we must protect ThunderClan) and Dovepaw (we must protect all the Clans) even though Lionblaze gets annoyed at Dovepaw for using her powers to look after ThunderClan???

The whole "being obsessed with Prophecy and what it means" is probs a part of Jay's character (as he baso became a med cat to fulfil his destiny) but it also feels like a gross misunderstanding of what a Prophecy is. All the "the dark forest is rising. This might be what the Three is meant for" is like putting the horse before the cart- a prophecy is meant to describe a situation and hint at the character/means to solve it; but PO3/OoTS has the characters/means to solve, but no conflict :/ its a bit backwards.

I like the mentions of Firestar + Sandstorm going on night hunts etc.

Blossompaw/fall's a cunt lol. Shes kinda fun but shes not nice at all especially to Ivypool.

I love Littlecloud. I love when the med cats share ideas and discuss things 10/10 makes my day everytime

The pacing is actually... not good. Ive defo always been on thr camp of "too many povs and too few chapters ruins the book" but wow FE really shows it.

So much of Doves characterisation so far is about agency and not wanting to be special and have Firestar/Lion/Jay talk to her. I wish this was not forgotten about in later Super Editions.... kittypetdovewing2k24

this battle is crazy tho. I wish more of the DF plot was about stirring up trouble between the Clans and specific troublemakers in each Clan rather than the later nebelous 'dark warriors invade the forest' battle. Ill get to that one day

Night Whispers

Picking right back up in the battle...

and again just recounting the last books events. hollyleaf death/disappearance explanation count: 3

Kinda love how many times shes mentioned. From Lionblaze avoiding the tunnel she ran into to Jayfeather finding the fur that Leafpool hid.... cute

Okay i actuallt love ShadowClan discussing the battle + tactics + training and then the chapter immediately after the TC camp doesnt mention it at all and Ivypaw is like "why arent we discussing the battle? Just because we won doesn't mean we will again!!" interesting character moments + a nice look at differences between the Clans

Ivypaw and dovepaw fighting over tigerheart????? they fight so much but then always wanna be together like jfc.

Dove n tiger have negative chemistry like it just jumps right into "no boundaries can keep us apart". I get shes using him as an escape from TC/prophecy bullshit but like.... rlly? I wish it was just like expanded on. Tbh i wish every chapter had like just two extra pages to actually delve into things a bit better.

Lmaoo lionblaze cinderheart leafpool dovepaw patrol this is so fucking funny brambleclaw u get one point for this

Tigerheart break up scene count: 1

Flametail POV. Interesting but... why? Bad things r coming we know... what was his point narratively? It was cool tho. I liked seeing ShadowClan.

Every single book Dovepaw has a character die/get really hurt and is haunted by their screams. Rippletail, Longtail/Briarpaw, and later on its Antpelt... jesus christ girlie has it SO rough

The ivypaw "nernernenerner im better than you im being trained by tigerstar" to "oh fuck hes actually a bad guy i cant believe the terroristic maniac lied to me" is so rapid shes so funny/stupid

The imagery in this book is kinda crazy. Fire and ice cats and drowning in darkness visions. Very fun.

Sign of the Moon

So the med cats are divided and split up and StarClan does not trust any other Clan cat- but when in StarClan, Barkface and Flametail are hanging out? Crookedstar offers to share prey with Yellowfang? But StarClan is super fractured rn each Clan must stand alone. Okay

Antpelt nooooooooooooooo

Idk what the mountain prophecy actually means like. Firestar was always going to lead ThunderClan into battle.... what is he gonna do that's different...

Rock: i was the first Stoneteller Five chapters later Half Moon becomes the first Stoneteller. This is egregious

Swoop death. that's the fourth death Dovewing is going to be haunted by

The Forgotten Warrior

all the hints to Hollyleaf still... its a nice throughline... the yarrow and tansy and Molepaw/Cherrypaw scenes... shes my fave. sometimes the foreshadowing feels like it could be just Jayfeather coping that she's 'defo still out there' but TFW ties it up well. especially when you get surprised by Sol coming back and its like 'oh they were convinced she was defo still out there :(' and then she's actually back!!!

also the title??? is banger. the Forgotten Warrior, with Leafpool on the OG cover??? wow. espec as its constantly brought up that Leafpool was the medicine cat but no one sees her as a warrior really.... TBH all these titles are just as good as the TPB titles in terms of meaning/how good they are.

Another fox? okay.

SOL.... okay

tunnel adventures part 3.

All this like.. Bumeblstripeing is just kinda naff. Dovewing is clearly tryna force herself into liking him. But then she's also going on about how Tigerheart used her??? NGL i do really wanna see like.. why she changes her mind in AVOS

Brambleclaw lying to protect Hollyleaf is actually like. GOD that hurts. especially when you consider Bramblestar's Storm and how much he misses her. thats his favourite

the cinderheart shit is so stupid my jaw is actually on the floor. what you do mean you've been in love with a cat you shouldn't have. is cinderheart having cinderpelt's feelings for fucking firestar and that's why she doesn't want to be with lionblaze. also they have negative chemistry they literally are CONSTANTLY having issues.

oh my god i swear the 'Sol is secretly working with WindClan' was brought up chapters ago and we are only now dealing with it okay. anyway hollyleaf moment.

its kinda weird we dont get any like. scenes of the siblings just being siblings... they only discuss prophecy/plot shit and dont get to be siblings again - which i guess fits with the whole 'everything has changed' but god it'd be so god to just have them doing like. normal cat stuff - especially when so much of this series has had Jayfeather missing her and Lionblaze

i love Dustpelt and Brackenfur building shit... its so good

Dawnpelt murder accusations. okay.... i can't wait for Flametail to suddenly be argumentative again next book

the battle we've been building to all book is one chapter. cool. Sol runs off again and it's the end of the book. cool.

thank you @gioiaalbanoart for the tag!! this is another anagram tag, the word being "petrichor." i didn't even know this word before now, so thank you for teaching me a new word! i'll be using chapter 1 of dulcinea is dead for this one!

Perhaps she was worse off now. A humble trip beginning with an infant and a cookbook turned into a lifelong escapade and an unwanted destiny. The first humans to stray far enough from home to be seen by something greater than any mortal creation.

e

Each day, Sasha did her rounds, keeping everything in top shape – or as ‘top shape’ as it could be with such cryptic instructions for upkeep.

t

The blanket of space flooded in. The hatch opened inwards, and something poured in, uncaring of gravity, or lack thereof. Sasha held the creature by the arms, guiding it into the ship with the loving grasp of a gentle mother.

r

(A) rope came flying out of the ship’s side. Electric static fastened itself to the side of Sasha’s ship, wrenching it closer.

i

Instead there was a ship, far larger than hers. It was rickety, but somehow in better shape than the starship, decorated with markings unfamiliar to Sasha. It glided with unpracticed ease, pushing closer to the starship.

c

... cradling many vessels like a mother holds a child. The ships travel far, straying away from their homes and to worlds previously unthought of.

h

… her heart and soul were being wrenched out of her body, torn and thrown, purposeless, in the endless cosmos.

o

Over and over, day in and day out – but day hardly existed anymore.

r

(Upon) recovering her breath, she picked herself up and, after looking down on her pained mother, retreated to her bedroom.

your word is "porphyria."

Gingerheart/star of (AU) ThunderClan! @castiels-destiny

A fiery blaze will unite the clans,

A messenger of StarClan brings new hope.

Fun fact her name was Gingersnap for some reason and until someone pointed out that it was a type of cookies 😭😭😭 (i sort of registered it in my brain when i made it that name but i didnt remember what exactly were they)

Anyways her backstory is based off a bunch of roleplays i did, Gingerkit was born to Sandbreeze (originally it was Sandstorm I think, but i changed it to not cause confusion with the other TC Sandstorm) and had two other littermates, Tigerkit, Songkit, and Whitekit. (all were played by diff people, idk if those were their original names)

One night, a rogue named Shade came into ThunderClan camp and started to kidnap (kitnap?) them one by one, Songkit, then Whitekit, who managed to escape, and then one day when Tigerkit and Gingerkit were together, the rogue grabbed her by the scruff. However, Gingerkit managed to get her claws on his face and he let go, dropping her. She scrambled to tell her mother, but she didn't believe her, and the rogue got away.

Sandbreeze then realized that Songkit was missing, and a patrol had found her dead body, drowned in a river. And after all her remaining kits told her about the same rogue, she finally believed them.

When it was time for her to become an apprentice, Gingerkit wanted to be a medicine cat apprentice because she would constantly hang around the medicine den and learn about herbs, as well as having dreams from StarClan, of the prophecy (at the top). She was told she couldn't because there were too many, Featherleg and Bluepaw were already the medicine cats. (Also Featherleg recieved that prophecy during Dappledfur/star’s leadership ceremony)

She was apprenticed to Honeyfur, and after a moon, the medicine cats had gone missing. (i have no clue where they went in the rp, they just disappeared and came back a long time after) Dappledstar decided that instead of borrowing a medicine cat from another clan, she would appoint Gingerpaw as a new medicine cat. A few moons later, the medicine cats returned, and Gingerpaw was made a warrior apprentice one more. Her littermates became warriors faster than her, due to the lost time. A few moons after she became warrior, she would have an apprentice.

During gatherings, she would make friends with all sorts of cats from other clans, and disliked the fighting between the clans. After a particularly harsh leaf-bare and during a famine, Gingerheart had another dream, of a StarClan cat telling her of the prophecy again, and Gingerheart realized the need of a messenger, someone that could be fast and provide resources like herbs to the other clans. When a medicine cat wasn't fast enough. She was the messenger of StarClan, and she must unite the clans.

She told Dappledstar and Cloudripple (the deputy) about this idea, and they agreed. She did have experience with herbs, and she was fast. Gingerheart would also resolve conflicts with other clans as well, and at the next gathering, they announced this new role named ambassador. (the mediator role was created after i created the ambassador role...)

She would travel amongst the clans and do her job, until one day she was hunting a squirrel. Gingerheart caught the squirrel, landing in the middle of a thunderpath, her left leg outstretched, when suddenly she noticed a monster driving towards her. She tried to scramble away, but it was too late, crushing her left front leg and damaging it out of repair.

Gingerheart had to spend many moons resting in the medicine den, but she didn't give up, exercising and learning to overcome her disability, wanting to return to her role as she knew cats needed her help.

She eventually does, and during one trip, she discovered some loners living in barn. Gingerheart meets a loner named Eclipse and her family, noticing how they treated her badly, belittling her and making her an outcast. (they’re canonically homophobic)

She would stay there for a few days because of a storm, and they were friendly and welcoming to her. Gingerheart also falls in love with Eclipse during her stay. Gingerheart tells them of clan life, and Eclipse is interested, wanting to leave her family, who protest. Eclipse tells Gingerheart that she had weird dreams of a fiery cat saving her, and she would rescue Eclipse from her family, adventuring back to ThunderClan.

They get attacked by a fox, and they fight it off, but they get injured. Gingerheart knew that they were close to ThunderClan camp, so she carried Eclipse on her back, fighting through her injuries, despite Eclipse’s protests. They get to the camp, and Gingerheart collapses, waking up later in the medicine cat den to Blueflower scolding her, as well as Eclipse and her littermates looking at her with concern.

After she heals from her injuries, she tells Dappledstar about Eclipse’s wishes, and she makes her a warrior, despite some cats protesting. Eclipse and Gingerheart become mates.

After a few moons, a threat comes to the clans as cats start to die and get sick mysteriously. Gingerheart recieves a sign from StarClan of deathberries sitting in the center of a five pointed leaf and shows it to Blueflower, who interprets it as something poisoning the clans. The clans argue with each other, accusing each other of poisoning their prey, leading to a fight at the gathering. Gingerheart and other warriors try to get them to stop, but they continue, until StarClan clouds the moon, bringing rain and thunder as lightning strikes one of the trees, ending the gathering.

Gingerheart eventually figures out it was the Twolegs poisoning the prey and polluting the water, leading to the sickness and deaths. However, the clans were in a war, and she had to get the help of her friends from the other clans, convincing them and showing them her evidence, and them convincing their leaders.

Cloudripple becomes leader after Dappledstar loses her last life during one of the battles. He offers Gingerheart the role of deputy, but she refuses. Seasons pass, and she’s offered it multiple times as deputies change, until finally, she gives in, becoming deputy but also still being ambassador.

Seasons pass, diseases, threats, rogues try to take down the clans but they stay strong. Cloudstar passes, and Gingerheart becomes the new leader of ThunderClan.

One day, Eclipse and Gingerstar recieve a message from StarClan.

Go back to the forest, and follow the northern warrior in the sky. Find the three lost clans and dispell the darkness plaguing them before it spreads to the lake.

The prophecy is about StormClan, StoneClan, and SunClan of course, and they have to travel back to the forest territory and north of it to find the three clans. They must follow the North Star Polaris and fight the group of rogues naming themselves DarkClan who are killing the clan cats.

okay holy shit that was long asf

heres old art of Gingerstar and also Eclipse

[nanistar]

I love the concept art for your Sol au!

I was wondering, is this set in the Sonoran desert like SBC? Also what are the different clan’s territories like?

HIII yes so it was originally set in the mojave/sonoran desert area that SBC is in now, an imaginary place where the deserts touch so that i could have saguaro and joshua trees in the same place.

the clan's territories were going to be pretty similar to how i have SBC laid out now: shadowclan and thunderclan would share a saguaro "forest", with shadowclan having more undergrowth, and thunderclan more towards a rocky quary with a mix of saguaro and joshua trees. windclan would have their open plains, and riverclan would have a dried riverbed and control a swath of dry washes, areas that flood in the rain. skyclan was far away in a red canyon. admittedly, i didn't put much thought into wind or riverclan at the time since most of the map took place in thunder/shadow.

i don't have much territory concept art other than this, which was quite literally carried over into SBC, though they call it the Great Izote tree now and it's not in such a big dry wash.

instead of the tunnels under windclan/thunderclan, sol (and Holly) were going to be exiled to the mines that towered over the clans. this shows thunder territory, but imagine it with more rocks and elevation.

i never finished it, cuz around here i was like "hold on a sec, i'm on to something here. i'm making my own clans" but heres some unfinished concept art of the sorta half-quarry that TC would have been in.

(sol lying about saving molepaw and cherrypaw, hollyleaf showing herself to say fuck off)

after the beginning of the MAP which introduced sol while on trial in SkyClan and then running away, he finds himself in shadowclan and quickly seduces blackstar. led by hollypaw, tiger, dawn, jay and lion all reveal him publicly to be a faker and a liar and blackstar casts him out. he runs to the tunnels. later he emerges right after molepaw and cherrypaw, claiming that he was the one who guided them out of the tunnels, but hollyleaf follows behind him to once again call him out. he is escorted off TC territory by hollyleaf and lion, and he returns to the tunnels, finds his way to windclan, and encourages them to fight TC. hollyleaf catches wind of his plan when she spots him sulking around one of the mineshafts, and once again stops his plans. theres a battle, she has the opportunity to kill him, but relents, and releases him, but this time he cant escape to the tunnels. he runs into the open desert never to return again. so basically follows canon for the most part, with some stuff trimmed out for time.

my favorite part of the whole au was that hollyleaf was meant to directly mirror Sol and be his foil, even down to her design. i used the same sketch for both of them so they had similar bodies, and both Sol and Hollyleaf were going to have large wide eyes with small dot pupils.

something something sol rejected by everyone, hollyleaf rejected by starclan and destiny. you know how it is

i am not sad about cancelling this AU. i like what it became (:

Timeline things

I figured out how to fit the BS games into the timeline!

In order to incorporate all the heroes for this AU, the TC timeline will be split up so that “every time someone time travels and makes significant changes in that time, a new timeline split is created” (so going back in time to complete the Temple of Time in Twilight Princess wouldn’t cause a new timeline for instance). Basically this rule means that a timeline is created where the person DID travel through time and a timeline where the person LEFT and life continues on without that person, as if they just vanished into thin air. It is much more confusing than Nintendo's timeline but bare with me

This creates 4 main timeline splits

when Impa travels back and forth to aid Zelda in Skyward Sword

when Zelda sends Link back to his childhood in Ocarina of Time (we already know this one)

when Veran possesses Nayru to travel between the ages in Oracle of Ages

when Zelda travels back in time in the memories in Tears of the Kingdom

(technically Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition doesn't combine or split the timelines but rather makes the timelines super unstable since Cia brought people to her time rather than traveled herself, more on that later)

Skyward Sword

When Impa travels back and forth in time to help guide Zelda (Destiny) as Hylia's reincarnation, she inadvertently brings Ghirahim with her and starts the events of Skyward Sword as we know it. This is known as the Master Sword timeline because Link (Chosen) ends up upgrading the white goddess sword into the master sword.

However, this means Impa leaves a timeline where she didn't time travel in the first place known as the Goddess Sword timeline. In that timeline, Destiny is not kidnapped by Ghirahim but does end up being drawn to the power of the triforce on the surface. Chosen and Groose try to help her but Chosen doesn't find the goddess sword and Groose (the first ancestor of the Gerudo) ends up sacrificing himself to help defend them. Destiny somehow ends up barely sealing Demise but without Impa's guidance, she accidentally fuses the pieces of the triforce into one singular artifact known as the light force. The hylians of Skyloft still descend to found the settlement of Hyrule but some creatures (who later become the Minish) stay in the sky and discover the untouched goddess sword.

Demise's monster army is still scouring the surface as Hyrule is being founded. So in the Age of the Minish that follows, the small race descend from the sky and bring the light force and the goddess sword (referred to as the Picori Blade) to the hylians to help defeat the monsters. The light force only responds to the new princess (Power) due to her goddess bloodline. The hero of men (Mighty) wields the Picori blade and seals the monsters of Demise into the Bound Chest, thus creating the legends in the intro sequence of the Minish Cap. The Picori Blade goes on to become the Four Sword in the events of Minish Cap. Based on this, the Goddess Sword timeline contains the Four Swords trilogy (Minish Cap, Four Swords, FSA) while the rest of the games exist in the Master Sword timeline.

Ocarina of Time

We already know how the adult timeline and child timeline split. The downfall timeline is also basically the same in concept. When Young Link tries to wield the Master Sword, there's a timeline where he doesn't travel forward in time or get aged up into Adult Link. Thus, Young Link is not strong enough to defeat Ganondorf and dies during their fight.

The Adult timeline contains The Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Hyrule Warriors.

The Child timeline contains Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, Link's Crossbow Training, the Age of the Sheikah (first Calamity), and Breath of the Wild.

The Downfall timeline contains ALTTP, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, and Link's Awakening.

Oracle of Ages

In OOA, the Twinrova send Veran to possess Nayru and use her time powers to go back in time to light the flame of sorrow while Legend uses the Harp of Ages to collect the Essences to stop them. But by doing so, there is a timeline that Veran-Nayru leaves and Legend is able to defeat the Twinrova prematurely, without the flame of sorrow lit to resurrect Ganon. In that battle, as a last ditch effort, the Twinrova curse Legend with horrible sorrow before they are defeated. This causes him to carry this innate sorrow in his heart that is subtle at first and slowly grows over time but Legend is none-the-wiser and sails home.

When Legend is sailing home, he goes on the adventure in Link's Awakening. But because of his growing sorrow, he can't bear the thought of saying goodbye to Koholint or waking the Wind Fish, so he chooses to stay there and live in that dream world forever. This is known as the Dream timeline.

In the Dream timeline, it's unknown if Legend is alive or if he died at sea or is in a weird state of Schrödinger’s limbo. In Legend's absence, the monsters of his time return six years later and two young children Star and Sun are forced to take up the mantle. They do not have the hero's spirit (Legend holds it) but are endowed with the light of the goddess, going on to become the heroes of light in BS Ancient Stone Tablets. These two heroes also go on a very fast-paced adventure many years later in BS The Legend of Zelda.

The other timeline where Legend successfully completes OOA and Link's Awakening in canon is called the Reality Timeline. In the Reality timeline, Legend returns home successfully and can defeat the monsters that return with ease. Many years later, Legend's successor Clover does ALBW and then travels to Hytopia to become one of the Triforce Heroes with two other Links nicknamed Ember and Aqua. In the Reality timeline, Hyrule enters an era of peace for many years until the Era of Decline, when Fay becomes the hero of TLOZ and the Adventures of Link.

Tears of the Kingdom

When Zelda goes back in time in the beginning of TOTK, she creates a timeline where she becomes the light dragon and lives for over 10,000 years (which is the canon of BOTW and TOTK) known as the Light Dragon timeline. The young pre-Calamity Zelda would notice the dragon during her childhood and feel strangely drawn to the creature, she ends up pulling herself away from her Sheikah research sometimes to spend time trying to catch a glimpse or study ancient legends about dragons and Zonai. The events of BOTW and TOTK occur normally in this LD timeline.

In the timeline where she doesn't become the LD, Zelda solely focuses on Sheikah research and experiments with ancient relics, even re-activating a strange mini-Guardian she names Terrako. This is known as the Terrako timeline because when the Calamity hits, Terrako goes back in time to prevent the death of the Champions in HW: Age of Calamity (technically creating 3 timelines because Terrako time travels too but we're going to pretend it works out for now until another game comes out)

Hyrule Warriors

Normally, Hyrule Warriors is the game that connects all the OOT timelines because of Cia opening up the time-space portals between the eras, allowing for Breath of the Wild to come after. However in this timeline, BOTW occurs in the child timeline with Twilight Princess, which is why the past heroes mentioned in the Subdued Ceremony memory are “skyward bound, adrift in time, or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight”

Meanwhile, I put HW after Spirit Tracks when New Hyrule is founded and a new royal army is formed. Purely based on vibes in all honestly.

Instead of 'merging the timelines,' HW creates cracks and instability between the timelines, accounting for weird inconsistencies between eras like Majora's mask in Link's house in ALBW or a small subsect of the Zora evolving into Rito without the flood in the Child Timeline. Maybe that’s also how the TC heroes manage to meet up across time hehe

Although, there’s a particularly strong connection between the downfall timeline and the goddess sword timeline. Namely, the palace of the four sword can be found in ALTTP while Ganon and the dark world find themselves in FSA (since with Groose’s death, the Gerudo, and Ganon by extension, cease to exist). I like to think their worlds are unstable already due to their status as ‘failed’ timelines in a sense and messing with the hero’s spirit (fracturing it into 4 with FS and the weird limbo Legend gets into in the BS games). So to compensate for their unstable states, they start to bond together and share pieces from their world like electrons to form some semblance of stability and strength.

This was just supposed to be about accounting for the BS games but all this timeline talk kinda got away from me and became an essay, it’s fun to think about though!

Then one of my beta readers got curious about it, and I decided to follow up on it. I'm glad I did; it was a fun rabbit hole which explained so much about the etymology of scientific terms in Polish.

TC!dad!JK

“are you kidding me?” you then put jawon in his bed and walk out of the room, not wanting to yell at jungkook in front of your toddlers. “if there’s anyone who should be put out of their misery, it’s me” you cry out to him. “you say one and thing and you do another, jungkook. i don’t trust anything you say or do”

jungkook is just tired. he loves you so much but when you get like this, it messes with his head especially considering that he hasn’t been sleeping properly. why can’t you just understand that you’re his world? why does he keep worsening the smallest good things with you? you two were in such a good place until the argument and he’s truly regretful but he can see you don’t believe his words.

he weakly hands you the sword and presents his neck and this all looks familiar. you suddenly remember when jungkook had you put a knife to his neck to prove you loved him and because you aren’t a psychopath, you didn’t do it.

even now when he presents the sword to you, your heart sinks to your stomach. that same feeling arises in your chest and your anger is placed with pity.

truly, this “relationship” between the two of you will never work and unfortunately, you both have involved children. you’re both trapped in maze with no way out and the only escape for the both of you seems to be death. it’s always death instead of just doing the sane thing and letting it all go. letting you go.

“i’m not going to kill you, jungkook” you say. “however, if you wish to end yourself i just ask that you don’t do it anywhere near our children” your voice is a lot calmer now and you turn around to walk back inside the nursery.

“i just wish you’d see how we aren’t meant for each other and hopefully this helps you realize that”

you head back inside not really sure what to do now but it’s clear that you and jungkook are back at square one. you spent all these years building sandcastles only for them to be washed away. you’re not sure what jungkook is going to do with himself but you’re going to see this through for you and your children.

new plan: get the fuck out of here.

~🫧

He stands up, clenching his jaw upon hearing your words.

What the fuck are you talking about?

“W-What the fuck do you mean by saying that we’re not meant for each other???” He stands right infront of you blocking your view.

You’ve got him mad again. Jungkook and You are soulmates, made for each other!!? How can you say that?? “YN how can you say that?!” He asks you baffled.

“I’m your destiny yn. Just like you’re mine too. ACCEPT THAT.” He resists the urge to grab you because he knows it’s going to trigger you even more. But jungkook doesn’t want to shout at you.

So why do you keep pissing him off. “You’re having this dilemma way too late. It’s been 15 years yn.” He rolls his eyes. “You can’t do this to me!! My crime doesn’t deserve a huge punishment like this!” He is so frustrated right not but he can’t scream at you.

Because he’s already fucked up bad.

“no I wont! You can’t just say things like that and expect me to not react the way I do. STOP IT!”
