Okay but it's super interesting how

Din = Power = Ganondorf

Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda

Farore = Courage = Link.

Because Din, in the hylian creation myth, created the physical world. Naryu then created the laws - gravity, time, etc. And Farore finally created life - plants and people.

Din created the body, naryu the mind, Farore the soul.

And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.

Ganon is physical power, he is big and intimidating and he breaks things. He is cunning and determined, but that's not what he focuses on. He is might makes right.

Zelda is wisdom and cleverness. She is stall tactics and information and team work. She is a powerful mage with a spine of steel, but that's not how she'll win. She is the pen being mightier than the sword.

Link is courage and persistence. He is the wild card sneaking behind enemy ranks, always moving, plunging into terrifying situations head first. He's a phenomenal fighter with a keen wit, but that's not what will get him through his challenges. He is bravery not being the absence of fear but the triumph over it.

They sit in perfect parallels to each other.

And ganon is reborn through his body - his resurrection is immortality. No matter how low he is cast, as long as he has a body he can claw his way back. He can cling to his power, build it ever higher.

Zelda is reborn through the magic of her bloodline. It's the accumulated knowledge handed down for generations, the unique power she must master, the skills she must develop to survive and get her kingdom out the other side intact. Even her name, the knowledge of herself, is handed down from all the way from the very first. Her ancestors knowledge of her future presence, her stability, is what gives her the edge.

Link is reborn in spirit. He is not bound by flesh or blood. Just like his wanderlust soul he can reappear in any time or place. His variation, his unpredictability, is exactly how he fights. It's what makes him so hard to pin down.

Ganons need to build strength means he can't chase after link. Links impulsiveness means zelda can outwit him. Zeldas stationary predictability means she's an easy target for ganon.

But the other direction?

Fire melts ice, ice redirects lightning, lightning burns fire.

And that's the very essence of the triforce.

#It's little details spread across the games like this that just makes it work so WELL it's SO COOL #They're all great at all parts of the triforce but they CHOOSE to focus on the path most meaningful to them #And that's literally reflected in their unique cycles of reincarnation isn't that just AMAZING #And that's why the team up is so important! If they were all working against each other they'd be locked spinning their wheels #If zelda and ganon teamed up link would immediately die and if link and ganon teamed up zelda would instantly perish #It's the link zelda team up that means ganon is the one who kicks it #Also the elemental thing was cool but they do jump around a bit. Like wind is there half the time #In botk the gerudo have lightning and the goron have fire. Farosh still has lightning tho and dinraal fire #In ss lanaryu was the lightning and faron had water like its all over the place thematically. And that's when it's only 3!#Don't even get me started on the 5/7 lots notankyu #But that's the most common group and it's also thematically accurate #Fire being the only one able to self perpetuate with fuel. Can be banked up again. Ice compresses with time but needs the right environment #Lightning go boom 👍 you can feel the static in the air but you don't know when/where it'll strike and then it's all over #Like fr it's hilarious zelda and ganon are playing the long game and link runs past eats all the pieces and while ganons yelling after him #Zelda checkmates his king. And nobody can prove she wasn't cheating because nobody was looking lmao #Ah the duality of metaphors #ANYWAY isn't that so neat???#Reason no.372 why rhoam was a terrible king he didn't just screw up he did it ✨thematically✨#If link had been allowed to run off and get dirty and if zelda was allowed to study her interest (like post kingdom fall FOR EXAMPLE)#They'd have won (like aoc) but nooooooo. I've already made a post (or 3) about it lmao I'll be quiet now #loz #legend of zelda #botw #triforce #loz link #the legend of zelda #zelda #loz botw #ganondorf #loz ganon

“Come back for me, Edward.”

You’ve heard of sleep paralysis demon jfj, now get ready for: sleep paralysis demon Jopson!!

Jopson doesn’t know it was Ned who (by extent) gave the order to abandon him and the other sick ones, but Ned himself sure as hell does and his lead poisoned conscience wont let him sleep because of that :)

(Version with some text under the cut)

Who told you it was okay to write this? Jail, immediately 🫵🏻

You Should Probably Hang Up: A Long Hair Harry Blurb✨

CW: Angst, drinking, language

AN: I got this idea from the song You should probably hang up by the Nightly and it’s been sitting in my head for a while so enjoy some long haired Harry angst!

Tag List: @umadirectioner @styleswithaseaview @sunflower-tia @tulips4harry @gmikaelson @fangirl509east @howling-wolf97 @outofthisworl-d @namoreno

Summary: Harry gets drunk and calls you at 3 in the morning✨

“Oh f’uckin hell.” Harry groans as he tries to open the main door of your apartment, the one that leads him to the set of stairs that will eventually land him at your door after he somehow figures out how to climb up the three flights it takes to get there. He lets out a frustrated sigh when he tugs on the door handle one more time just to find it really is locked making him pat his back pockets for his keyring that has a set of keys to both your apartment door and this door mixed in with ones to his own house.

“What the fuck is go’n on?” He mumbles as he feels his brows pinch together while he searches the keyring for the tacky gold key for the door he’s standing in front of. When he comes up empty after the third round of looking at every key he lets out a frustrated sigh because he doesn’t know when or where he could’ve lost it because he swears he just used it two days ago.

He tries to dig through his fuzzy mind for the last time he saw you, surely it had to be before he left for the dinner he got invited to tonight by some up and coming producer that wanted to try to butter Harry up enough to get him to agree to working on his upcoming record. You always like to give him a proper send off that consists of a kiss and a few encouraging words when you decide to opt out of whatever event he’s rushing off to and he doesn’t see why tonight would be any different. But for the life of him he can’t remember seeing you tonight or even for the last few days and it makes his heart begin to beat faster as a weird swirl of anxiety starts to whirl around in the pit of his tummy. Coming to the conclusion he has no other choice, he looks up towards the window he knows belongs to your bedroom and lets out a sigh as he pats his hand over the front of his dress pants.

“She’s go’na be so annoyed.” His words are a bit rushed and slurred as he pulls his phone from his front pocked and scrolls to your name so he can hit call. He turns around and leans his back against the door as he brings the phone up to his ear hoping you aren’t too far off in dreamland so you can still hear that god awful ringtone you have set for him and be able to answer the phone.

“Please don’t let her be too mad.” He thinks to himself as he slides the useless keyring back into his pocket while he waits for you to answer the phone.

You feel an odd vibration under your head as you roll over onto your stomach with a groan as the sound of muffled voices fills your ears. It takes you a moment to realize where the sudden disturbance to your relatively peaceful sleep is coming from, but when you slide your hand under the pillow your head in laying on you quickly find the object responsible for making you leave your lovely dream and be tossed back into reality. You don’t bother looking at the screen as you give it a frustrated few taps before the vibrating and muffled singing is put to an end by you bringing the device up to your ear.

“It’s three in the morning so you better be dead or dying.” Your voice is rough and full of sleep as your eyes close while you stay laying down with the phone pressed to the side of your face.

“M’sorry baby but m’not dead’r dying jus-”

“Harry?” Your eyes shoot open as you almost drop the phone from trying to sit up too fast, having not expected to hear his voice coming through the other end of the line. You hear him let out a laugh as you turn to look at your alarm clock on your nightstand and after rubbing your eyes a bit you can read it more clearly just to see it says three in the morning making you very aware as to why he’s calling you right now.

“Who else would it be hmmm? N’less you got yer’self another boyfriend I don’t know bout?” You let out a sigh as you run a hand through your hair while Harry jokes and chuckles at himself. “I lost my keys so ne-need to be buzzed in.” He explains with a huff making you raise an eyebrow as you toss the covers over your legs so you can climb out of bed and head for the window.

“You’re outside?”

“I am. I missed you.” You look out your window that faces the street and feel your heart drop when you spot him. He’s sitting with his back against the door with his knees bent and his hair in a messy bun letting you see his eyes are closed as you watch him lean his head back so it’s also resting against the door. He’s dressed in a suit making you assume he was at an event earlier and hasn’t been home yet.

“Harry I can’t-”

“Can’t what? Are you okay?” He asks with such concern etched in his voice it makes you have to look away from him and walk back towards your bed so you can sit on the edge of it.

“I’m fine I just-”

“Baby just buzz me in and we can talk bout it m’kay? M’a bit sleepy and want cuddles.”

“I can’t buzz you in Harry.” You try to hide the emotion in your voice by whispering your words through the phone. Harry quirks a brow and purses his lips utter confusion as he opens his eyes and looks up towards your widow.

“Are you home?” He wonders as he slowly stands up trying not to make himself dizzy in the process.

“Yes I’m home.” You close your eyes as you feel the lump begin to form in your throat at the idea of having the explain to him why you can’t just buzz him in. You hear Harry let out a sigh and you know he’s running a ring clad hand over his face and shaking his head thinking this is just you acting out due to the silly little argument you two regularly have over his lifestyle and how much he loves attending a good party rather than spending quality time with you.

“M’sorry love.” You swallow back the emotions that are building up in your throat as Harry lets out a deep sigh. “I swear m’gonna get better for you-for us jus please let me in and we can talk bout it.” He sounds so sincere you almost consider just letting him in and dealing with the emotional consequences later but you don’t, instead you just let out a shaky breath and clear your throat.

“I can’t buzz you in because we aren’t together anymore Harry.” There’s a silence on the other end of the phone making you wonder if he even heard you.

“Wh-what are you talking about? Baby I was just with you two days ago.”

“I know. You came over to drop off my keys and my box of stuff from your house.”

“N-no no that’s-we didn’t breakup we-we are meant to be together forever remember? That’s-that’s what we’ve always said.” Harry swallows thickly as he begins pacing in front of your complex door.

“It’s been a week Harry.” You say with a sniffle as you feel a few tears slide down your face. “You’re just drunk and don’t remember.”

“No this-this is a mistake.”

“You should-”

“I love you.” The words sting as you feel your bottom lip begin to quiver because you know he means it, he wasn’t the one who wanted this breakup but you couldn’t continue to be pushed aside for his social life no matter how much you loved him. “I love you so-fuck I love you so much M’sorry I’ll-I’ll stop partying and-and please baby just let me in and we can-”

“Go home Harry.” You hear his breathing get uneven through the phone and when you hear a few sniffles you know he has his own river of tears streaming down his face. “I-I can’t-”

“I’m sorry. Can’t-can’t we talk about it? Please sweetheart just let-let me in.” You take the phone away from your ear so you can let out a deep shaky breath at how hurt and confused he sounds as he begs you to just buzz him in.

“Harry please go home.” Your voice is strained as you do your best to keep your emotions in check for a few more minutes until you can get him off the phone.

“Is that what you want? You-you want me t’go home?” He asks as he turns his head up in the direction of your window as he lets the tears freely flow down his face. His eyes are puffy and bloodshot from the tears and from the drinks he had prior to showing up at your door.

“Yes.”

“Okay.” You let out a deep sigh as you open your eyes and get off the bed so you can go look out the window to see if he really is going to leave and go home. “M’not gonna let this be the end of us.” It’s as if he can see you standing there looking down at him but you know he can’t with how dark it is in your room and the slight tint to the window itself.

“I don’t think you should call me anymore.” You watch his eyes go wide and for a brief second you swear they meet yours but then he’s looking away from the window and down at his shoes while you hear him let out a shaky breath.

“How can I fix this if I can’t call you?”

“You can’t fix it Harry.” You feel like your heart is breaking all over again as you have to tell him the same thing you told him when you ended the relationship a week ago. “So next time you think you want to call me just do me a favor and hang up.”

“Fuck that.”

“Harry you-”

“I can fix this-you you just have to let me try baby please just-just let me try to be better.”

“I can’t do this.” You cover your face with your hand as you turn away from the window and slide down the wall until your bottom hits the floor. “I have-have to go.” You don’t give him the chance to say anything before you end the call and slide your phone across the floor. You cover your face with your hands as a choked sob breaks out from your chest as a fresh new wave of tears falls from your eyes. You know this isn’t the last time you’re going to hear from Harry and you just hope that each time he calls it gets a little easier for you to hang up until eventually you just don’t answer him at all.

zhongli and neuvillette fighting over their reader 🤭🤭

scary dog privilege wherever you go, draconic courting gestures that would scare any regular person, they send each other deadly glares the moment you turn away,

stealing your clothes to just get a whiff of your scent, marking their territory all over your house - making it a battlefield basically, neuvillette (in my hc) is cooler and zhongli is warm so the cuddles are always so comfy ☺️😍,

they give you anything you want - you don't even have to lift a finger, they make you travel between the nations a lot though 😒 sooo clingyyy, extra gentle in their dragon forms as to not squish you, don't even get me started on the size difference 😍😍

just a little thought 🤭☺️

- 🐈‍⬛

Neuvi being colder is so real and canon. I see him as being colder + a lot more lithe, kinda lanky with smaller but sharper canines versus Zhongli who's warmer and a bit shorter then Neuvi + bulkier with bigger but not as sharp canines.

They've also got very different habits – Zhongli is very prideful not just of himself but his nation. He'll personally give your a tour and purposely drag it out as long as he can. Complimenting Liyue is basically complimenting him, checkmate Neuvi. Especially if he convinces you to try on some local Liyue fashion. Harmless and just a nice gift to anyone else but Neuvi sees it for what it is (since your wearing something from Liyue, technically wearing something of his. He loves his technicalities when it comes to staking a claim over you). Adds salt to the wound by touching you in totally innocent ways like to adjust you towards something he wants to show you or accidently brushing against you when he takes the bags of spoils he's practically drowning you in but really he's just making sure his scent sticks. He's just a sweet, nice gentleman with absolutely no ulterior motives trust.

Neuvillette does love Fontaine, but his habits are more about himself then the nation. He'll take you around if you ask or if the idea strikes him, but you'll probably stay around the making city area or the opera house specifically. He enjoys more personal time with just you and him then anything else. He values the immaterial to the material. Zhongli spoils you with gifts, but Neuvi tries to offer quality time irregardless of physical gifts (though he still gives them just not to the extent of Zhongli). He'll take you to see different operas if that's to your fancy, or leverage a bit of his authority to maybe see a few films since those seem to be hitting off in Fontaine recently. Bet that creaky old archon doesn't have those huh. He feels awkward if you want to watch a trial, but he'll reluctantly agree because. well. it's you. just don't wave or anything he's trying to work and he just Really wants to see you smile at him like that again and it makes him lose his train of thought. gets custom clothes designed by Chiori to replace your clothes from Liyue because they smell of Zhongli and it makes him sulky + he likes to match.

G-d forbid these two are in the same room as you because it's a war of attrition at that point. Constant accidental brush of the hand against your shoulder or elbow but it's just them trying to get rid of the others scent. they are side eyeing each other behind your back while being all smiles whenever your looking. If it's hot and you lean into Neuvi more he's practically GLOWING. not even smug he's just absolutely smitten and happy to be of service. immediately takes off his gloves and presses his hands to your face asking if your okay and if you want to go back with him. if it's cold out and you seek out Zhongli more hes smug as hell beneath the calm veneer. Offers you his coat and stay as physically close to you as he can under the pretense of being worried you'll catch a cold if he doesn't warm you up.

don't even get me started on your house either because you probably have tons of gifts from both of them accumulated everywhere. if Neuvi sees you use a tea set from Zhongli suddenly he had a fantastic gift idea he thought you'd like. he even got some tea included with it so why don't you let him make you some? Zhongli sees you using a goblet Neuvi gave you (totally a coincidence it's similar to his) and suddenly you have 27 square cups in your cabinets that you have no idea where they came from. if the goblet is mysteriously missing oh well. who knows :]

#sagau #genshin sagau #self aware genshin #asks #genshin impact sagau #self aware genshin impact #genshin cult au #genshin impact cult au #is this actually cult au?? csnt tell tagging it anyway #its like 1 am brain not working #🐈‍⬛ anon #shaking them both like shaker charms #zl feels more possessive too. neuvi is possessive but i dont think snyone could get near zl level of possessiveness #its like having two cats constantly trying to get your attention.#neuvi is more mellow imo so hes not as intense in the rivalry but sometimes he feels PETTY #only if it actually benefits you though because you still come first even if he cant stand zl snd hes not dragging you into it #zl has no issue tossing out gifts neuvi gives you unless your REALLY attached to it but neuvi probably wouldnt yknow..#sometimes neuvi is just clueless he did not gaf abt zl at first he was just smitten with you. he did not want 2 get involved in this rivalry #but hes still a little possessive snd having you come back smelling like zl dressed in clothes from liyue with other gifts from zl..#it rained for like a week straight he was in shambles. acted like a kicked puppy until zl scent was gone 😭#also theres a joke somewhere here abt zl snd his square cups..hm.#just clingy possessive dragons trying to subtly be the only one you pay attention to 🫡#this has been my loser girlfail neuvi propaganda post enjoy

Shen Qingqiu as a Naga thoughts continued (Part 1)

At first Liu Qingge doesn't know what to do, which is very much a first for him. He's been in the business of Monster Pest Control for years and this is the first time he's found himself frozen in the face of a beast.

On the bright side the Naga hasn't made any move towards him either, even though he's seen it and it undoubtedly knows he's seen it; they're looking right at each other.

Eventually, Liu Qingge works up the nerves to start slowly backing away, one careful step at a time. He hopes, however stupidly, for a moment that he can just back his way out of this and turn around and leave the territory without further incident.

This hope dies a sad, sad dead as the Naga starts moving in response. Liu Qingge is a trained professional and damn good at his job at that, so he does not panic. His heart is beating against his ribs like a terrified bird but he remains outwardly calm and collected as the Naga slowly unspools from its hiding place, slithering out into the clearing and seemingly following him in his retreat.

His conclusion from the shed skin was correct; it's fully grown. Not a Constrictor type; wrong patterning, and huge though it is he knows those fuckers can get big enough to swallow dragons. This one isn't quite to that size, though its torso alone easily dwarfs his own.

It; he, it's a male; has shimmering green scales; darker on the back, slowly fading into a soft teal green along the underbelly. They shine in the sunlight, reflecting like gemstones in places. The Naga has dark hair, pulled partially up away from his face but otherwise allowed to spill about his shoulders.

His eyes are trained with incredible intent upon Liu Qingge, tongue flicking out every so often to taste the air and coils whispering softly over forest floor as it draws closer to him.

The distance between them is shortening, and Liu Qingge is rapidly running out of ideas for how to get out of this (not that he was coming up with many aside from Back Away Slowly)

Then Liu Qingge steps on a stick, and a loud crack rings through the air. The Naga suddenly freezes, eyes going wider and coils pulling tight. And Liu Qingge, like a fucking idiot, turns around and runs.

He makes it about five paces before something huge is crashing into him. Claws hands meet his back and wrap about his shoulders and then he's spinning, rolling over as coils come forth to wrap about him and secure him tight in their hold. Next thing he knows he's caught tight in the embrace of the Naga, smooth scales pressed against him from all sides and a pair of shining green eyes peering curiously at him from less a palm's width away.

#svsss #liu qingge #shen qingqiu #naga shen qingqiu #liushen #or more eventual liushen #Shen Qingqiu was about as lost on how to deal with the situation as Liu Qingge was #The human spotted him! What's he's supposed to do now? Okay be cool act natural...#but then the human started backing away while giving him that wide-eyed prey animal look #not to mention the body language #Shen Qingqiu's prey drive instincts kicked in! What was he supposed to do?#Not rush and tackle the human when he bolted?#Even if he has no intention if eating or harming the human he's still a giant ambush predator with instincts and a reputation to maintain!#Besides #now he can get a look at one of these fascinating little creatures from up close and personal...
