I’m curious if you’ve come across this pic of chihiro and lin before!! A couple months ago I found it on Pinterest and was so confused and excited cus i had never seen it before. Came to find out it was part of a ghibli merch calendar someone was selling. But it looks straight out of the movie! I wonder if it was from a deleted scene. (The movie was supposed to be around like three hours I think)
I saw that image on Pinterest too! I was so excited because I thought it was a deleted scene or extra official art.
So it's from a merch calendar! That's really cool, actually. I know the Ghibli team had to cut out a lot of extra scenes just to keep the movie short enough (and even then it's really quite long), which always made me really curious about the scenes we never got to see. This would fit perfectly as one of them! It's honestly so warm and endearing.... Maybe we could've seen more interaction between Lin and the other worker girls, or even some development between them and Chihiro. Especially since the girls in this image look suprisingly young! Anyway, it's nice to see Lin and Chihiro making up for the food that was spoiled by the river spirit.
This seems quite random, but while we're on the topic of "Spirited Away images that seem official but are suprisingly not as well known as they feel like they should be",
Would anyone happen to know about the origin of these two images?
I've heard they're from the Japanese Studio Ghibli Twitter, but whenever I follow the source links, nothing comes up. Did they delete the posts or the whole account? It's honestly a bummer because these are such sweet and adorable images and I was really excited to read through all the reactions to it. If anyone knows what happened to these posts or the original source of the images, I'd be really grateful to hear about it!

Idk if I’ve bought up this HC before but…
Ash fell first. It was during the Sky Bouquet obviously. But Dawn fell harder, realizing her true feelings for him seconds before he left Sinnoh.
ABSOL-FUCKING-UTELY!
My personal HC is that Ash had a puppy crush on Misty during Kanto-Johto and by Sinnoh he saw those feelings be replaced by even stronger feelings for Dawn. And he just accepted it. He was like "those will sure go away, like the feels for Misty did :)" (they didn't)
And Dawn only started to consider those feelings even existing by the end of DP (after Lyra pointed it out, after Kenny did the atrocious bet thing, after she realized how much it hurt to part ways with him and Brock). And afterwards this silly girl would literally travel continents only to meet this idiotic boy, kept up with everything he was doing while STILL being like "nah, im fine, i have no feelings for him :)"
In my ideal pearl dynamics Ash has to be the one confessing first because Dawn is just in utter denial while he knows he will always adore her :v And she recriprocates right back because she had been bottling up things for so long that when he gives her a vault she jumps right into it without even thinking~

I know this isn't part of the prompts thing technically, but I was wondering about your opinion on this:
Ordonian Folktales: The Tale of the Stáblad & the Twisted Capaill
It's just a folktale I thought up to try & flesh out the culture of Ordon a bit is all.
I'd really like to see something on Twilight telling the story to the other Links, but again I understand if you don't. Perhaps with Twilight as the blorbo & horseshoes as the item if you're willing to stretch the prompt a bit?
If all I can get is your opinion/critique on it or even just a polite, "sorry, not doing it." Then, I'm more than okay with that.
So, yeah. If you're not feeling up for it, that's fine.
Twilight watched Warriors take an all too eager swig from his flask. He ignored it once, twice, thrice as he scraped some caked in mud out of his Epona's horseshoes. Then he noted, "You know, there's a tale in Ordon about a stable boy who liked to drink too much."
Warriors glanced at him in profile, eyes simultaneously teasing and curious. "Oh? Are you going to impart some country wisdom on me?"
Sky burst out laughing, his cheeks far too flushed. "But you two only got Courage from the Triforce!"
Twilight gingerly reached over and plucked the bottle out of Sky's hands. "That's definitely enough for you."
Time sipped his own flask slowly. "Go on, rancher."
Watching Warriors in particular, Twilight explained, "A stable boy used to steal moonshine from his boss. Never owned up to it, always enjoying getting drunk and having fun. One day he had to hide the stash from his boss, and he panicked, dunking it into the water trough. The boss' prized horse drank it and started to dance."
"Dancing horses is fun!" Wind piped in.
"Yeah, but she fell and broke her legs. They had to put her down to end her suffering." Twilight continued.
Wild's head shot up. "I don't like this story."
Warriors sighed. "Yes, yes, slovenly drunkenness is bad. We all can see the lesson here."
"The stable boy didn't own up to it, though," Twilight continued. "So the horse god punished him by turning him into a horse."
Sky hummed, eyes wide with wonder. "I want to turn into a loftwing."
Twilight laughed, reaching over and pulling the younger hero to him in a side hug. "You're a mess."
"Stuck as a horse forever, huh," Legend yawned, laying on his back and stargazing. "Kind of a nice amount of freedom to that."
"Oh, no, it doesn't end there," Twilight continued. "The next stable boy had the same vice and made the same mistake. When the first boy drank out of the trough, he danced and broke his legs as well. But he confessed his crimes before they could put him down, and for that he was transformed back."
Warriors finished off his drink, leaning against a rock. "Well. For starters. I wouldn't steal alcohol. I can just buy it."
Hyrule barked out a laugh. Twilight rolled his eyes.
