i wish i knew how to write. how to tell stories and show glimpses of other lives
#libra.txt#i have so many ideas. and i like drawing them. but i can't tell their stories that way#i don't do comics.#but i don't really write either. and when i try nothing turns out the way i want it to.#anyway. was thinking abt botw zelda. how she supposedly embroidered all the champions' garb.#and then i thought abt her meeting vilia and rhondson and got wistful#that's why my au zelda (dove) wears the cape she does. she embroidered it herself. using designs /she/ liked.#making something /she/ wanted to make. something pretty and useful and new.#i don't yet know how to embroider. i can do simple stitches but nothing fancy and no big designs#but i respect sewing and needlework. it's time consuming and can be labour intensive and people don't always appreciate the amount of effor#that goes into it. which i suppose is also a reflection of zelda's struggle with finding her power. but also i think she needs something#to do with her hands. that isn't related to research or rebuilding hyrule.#but something tangible with visible results as she keeps working on it#i think it could be rather therapeutic for her#and perhaps also cathartic. since her life was fraught with danger and intense emotions when she worked on the champions' garb#she so desperately wanted to be out there /physically helping/ and doing their embroidery could have felt like a slap in the face#maybe i'm thinking on it too much#but i still like the idea of her meeting rhondson and vilia.
