#too bad the hero of time didnt stay in this timeline at the very least he wouldnt regret about being forgotten as a hero

So the Hero of Time and Wind Waker huh

I like to imagine Link, the Hero of Winds, would have mixed feelings on the Hero of Time after the events of the Wind Waker.

Analysis below

Imagine it. You are born and raised on a small island. There is a story of a man, one told to inspire courage in youth. He is strong and courageous. A hero! Someone worth looking up to. Something you'd want to be like. Then it's your birthday. You have to wear an outfit you're not particularly fond of to honor this guy (on your special day). But it's okay. This is no big deal. It's just tradition.

Then your sister is kidnapped. You go to save her, fail, then meet the king of red lions, now wrapped up in something larger than yourself. You find relics to prove yourself worthy of claiming the legendary sword. To be worthy of being a hero. Throughout this you are constantly mistaken for being the legendary hero himself. But you're not him you're not the Hero of Time hell you don't even share his blood. You're not him you're you but you have to become a hero like him. His imagery is everywhere you go. A picture of him in Tetra's room, a statue of him in the castle, his name constantly brought up. His presence is everywhere and massive. How can you live up to that? You fail to be Ganondorf once more, you need to fix the Mastersword, you need to piece the triforce of courage back together, but at least your sister is free. So finally you restore the Mastersword back to it's original glory and the triforce of courage is yours. By then you have helped plenty of people along the way. You saved your sister and now you are going to put an end to this once and for all. You yourself has been recognized as a hero. The king himself even giving you your own title.

The Hero of Winds

You have created an identity of your own. You finally dug yourself out of the shadow of someone so great. You're not him you're you and you finally have been recognized as such. So you go to fight Ganondorf for the last time, keep in mind someone who can curse the whole sea and stop the rotation of the earth, someone who can look inside of the dreams and minds of others, someone who somehow knows so much a person who seems to have more knowledge of this world than the rest, says he has been waiting for those like you, the hero. He tells you not to betray his expectations and you fight his puppet. After beating it you confirm his expectations. You are the hero of time reborn. You just earned your own title only to learn you are supposedly this hero reborn? It is a fate and comparison you can not escape. The overlooming shadow. The Hero of Time.

I don't think Link hates the Hero of Time so much as that the legend he use to look up to must be tainted in some way. He still probably admires that legend, but constantly being compared to and followed by this image of something so great. Told that while he is not him but he has to become a hero like him. It's just a lot for a kid, then to finally become a hero of your own just to immediately have it pop up at you. Maybe it's a feeling of not being able to live up to expectations. Or maybe how a younger sibling feels to be in the shadow of their older one. Whatever it may be, it's complicated.

Could I ask what your sexuality headcanons are? I love comparing mine with other peoples’!

Ok second half of this; this is just like. non-students who i Actually have thought about HJBAFV not at all a comprehensive list. Again disclaimer i write all these chars as bi in my fics, also i am bi myself so the vast majority are also bi, and also leaving a lot of these vague so u can imagine ur favorite ship or urself or w/ever

ok lets start this off with Aizawa. I think....... hes another one who's rlly unlabelled, doesnt super care to think it through and define it, but calls himself gay bc his interest in women is very, very rare and it's just way easier to say than explain all that. Definitely do buy into the idea that he had a crush on Oboro in hs but i do NOT buy into the easermic agenda sorry. Definitely not someone who goes looking for dates, but doesn't say no if someone asks him and hes interested (also im not gonna give her a whole section but i saw a hc a while back that the Ms. Joke stuff is literally that shes a lesbian and hes gay and shes fucking with him and i love that so much i just wanted to put it out there)

on the topic of the erasermic agenda: Hizashi's pan and knew it before HS, had a sudden & intense crush on Aizawa for the first month they knew each other and then immediately got over it in favor of a similar sudden, intense, and then immediately fading crush on Midnight. Hizashi and Aizawa r just rlly good friends imo; maybe they messed around for a bit in their twenties but it never went anywhere serious. He dates around a lot, not even necessarily to settle down just to have some fun

Midnight is aro/ace but does get in qprs & gravitates towards women wrt that. Most people dont read vigilantes but theres a woman in that, Kazuho, who i imagine she's been in a long-term qpr with; her relationship with aizawa and hizashi leans a little more towards a qpr than a normal friendship, too, but it's not rlly defined that way

All Might is married to justice queer but v much not interested in relationships. He and that one guy from the first movie are ABSOLUTELY exes and i won't hear otherwise; it's the only relationship he's ever had, and they broke up bc he had to go back to japan. He was heartbroken but did eventually get over him; his lack of romance afterwards is from genuine disinterest and not being hung up on his past. I can see him finding someone else in his later years, after he's retired. Definitely feels like he's not worthy of it tho

Hawks is bi but unfortunately didn't get to figure that out until like Now in the timeline...... if youll let my dabihawks history shine through i think dabi was the reason JHBASFGJHB he was basically brainwashed by the commission to become a hero so he didnt have time to Figure That Shit Out; he knew he was into women bc that was easy & what the commission expected from him but then he started this undercover assignment and met dabi and realized Oh...... Fuck. Hawks is hard tbh, bc i think between the control that the commission has over him and his own convictions as a hero he doesn't pursue any romance (tho he does get crushes or find people attractive) and most of his flings are done to keep up his prettyboy act, not out of genuine interest in being a fuckboy. Can't imagine him having a relationship until well after canon but I do see him being interested eventually

Onto the villains, Shigaraki is unlabelled but probably would call himself queer if asked. Definitely admires women more but isn't very interested in romance; AFO actively encourages him to pursue the things interested in so imo if he were he'd talk abt it more lmfao. I kinda see him as demi as well, not the type to fall immediately but requiring a friendship beforehand; tho unlike Bakugo as i said in my last post I dont think it happens suddenly but rather slowly. Y'all know im a big fan of shigaraki being absolutely whipped for his s/o so i do thing hes a big piner, tho he's also pretty bold and unashamed of his affections. I'm a big fan of him falling for a member of the league or a civilian; definitely can't see him falling for a hero unless the hero was already halfway to turning sides already. I think he's also attracted to intelligence and someone who pushes him to think more abt his ideology...... maybe im just projecting at this point JSHDFBVAJKSHD but my point is that the gender of his partner is definitely the least of what he considers/notices

Dabi is bi and, here's my bold take, demisexual; not interested in sex unless its with someone he loves. Absolutely doesn't even think abt romance for most of the years where he's on his own. He's got revenge to plan. By the time he joins the league that hasn't changed much, and he's demi so he's not interested in sleeping around, plus he rlly denies any attachment to people at all. As I said in that other ask tho I do rlly like the idea of him with Magne, so I think they have a fling for a bit before her death :( it's one of the things that leads him to isolate himself further, unfortunately, even from Jin and the other League members with whom his relationships aren't romantic. I can see him dating someone post-canon bc i think hes gonna be redeemed lol. It could be someone he knew before but they probably didnt date again bc he was v guarded; i think magne was rlly the only person he dated

Magne is pan and heres the kicker: I think shes t4t, which led to a little moment just before she and dabi got together where he was like "she wouldnt be into me :/" but she was into him anyway so all was good. She got around in her circles, mostly casual stuff tho she yearned for something more serious.

Spinner's bi & trends towards women but does occasionally get things for men and they're almost always intense. He thought he was straight for a while even once he joined the league and then suddenly got a crush on Shigaraki (around the time of MVA) and realized otherwise LMFAO he's definitely a hopeless romantic type, the whole mutant prejudice thing makes it rlly hard for him and i can see him being rlly happy with another mutant-type; i feel like as he matures he starts to gravitate towards them

Toga is canonically pan to my understanding, iirc her interest in Uraraka and Deku is the same (and romantic) in canon tho i might be wrong. Poor girl just needs therapy. I like the idea of the two of them becoming her friends over her being involved with them but i totally can get behind her having a thing with Uraraka (and maybe Tsu) at some point post-canon (presuming she gets redeemed), tho I think a qpr between the two/three of them would be longer lasting. And again presuming she gets therapy i can see her settling down with someone, gender irrelevant

Jin is unlabelled bc he hasn't much thought abt it, definitely had a thing for dabi and for hawks which does make me sad on both counts. I think he likes women slightly more abstractly/aesthetically and gets crushes more on men,. The dabi thing fades as they get closer and start to view each other as brothers. In his later years he doesn't rlly care about romance, I think he enjoys the experience of crushing but doesnt like dating people; his found family in the League is far more important to him. But i can see him falling head-over-heels for someone quite suddenly and having a bit of a whirlwind romance. Also someone for whom gender isn't much of a factor

Mr Compress is also queer and also hasn't rlly thought abt it. Definitely leans more towards women; he's like 30 but i like to think he also goes for older partners, 10 or 15 years his senior KJBADSJFHB idk he just has that Vibe with the way he calls himself an old man etc. A lot of the league i cant see sleeping or dating around much, i feel like they prioritize each other, but I do think mr compress gets around more than the others. i can see him having a bit of a fuckbuddy who he catches feelings for

Kurogiri is fun; as Oboro I do think Aizawa's crush was reciprocated, tho he wasn't around long enough for them to act on it :( he's bi, tho kurogiri isn't supposed to have personal interests. I like to imagine the brainwashing isnt as good as AFO wants it to be tho so I like the idea of him falling for someone anyway. I also like the idea of the heroes managing to undo the nomufication and I 100% can see him, aizawa, and someone else (someone he was involved with as Kurogiri) ending up in a triad as a result of aizawa and the third partner helping him through the aftermath of all that shit

Lady Nagant is a manga-only minor character but im in love with her so imma talk abt it. Shes bi and leans VERY heavily towards women, probably spent years questioning whether she was rlly bi or a lesbian before finally having a fling with a guy that she genuinely enjoyed. Has only ever been in long-term relationships with women and I v much think she has a gf at home who stayed even when she was arrested 🥺

Finally imma talk abt Natsuo bc i love that boy. He's one of the few unmarried chars with a love interest and he canonically has a gf. I do see him as IDing straight in canon ngl, but the kind of straight where he might actually be bi but his preference leans so heavily towards women and he grew up in a bad home so he just doesnt rlly think abt it bc hes v happy with women anyway. In shiganatsu thoughts shigaraki is the first man he has a thing for; i rlly can see the two of them in a triad with a woman specifically, who helps the two of them find each other and is the one who initiates bc its definitely a weird situation for natsuo

Time for my unmasked for opinions on umbrella academy season 2!!!

Incase it's not obvious SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2

--

So I'll go by numbers

Luther: I loved his character development! He's not my favorite as a character but they fixed him up without completely ruining what they had already built. The story between him and allison was handled very well in my opinion. He's still a dumbass but he's starting to become self aware!!! You gotta start somewhere babe!

Diego: BEST CHARACTER THIS SEASON. Between him being a simp for lila and him being so brotherly towards Luther I mean.. I love him! "Nah bro.. he shanked your heart." Literally the funniest line of the season no cap. Him believing he's a hero and HAS to save everyone is so interesting and you just want him to be happy 🥺 I hope season 3 does him as well as season 2 did.

Allison: Queen!!!! She felt so grounded this season, between her work fighting for equality and her relationship with her husband she just felt so much better this season. Despite it not being the healthiest thing I loved the bond between her and Klaus this season. I also appreciate the way her character handled the weird relationship between her and Luther. I hope she gets to see Claire next season!

Klaus: Oh my where to even begin. Dave! This was such a heartbreaking story. He was so in love with him and was trying his hardest to save his life. My heart snapped in the diner scene. Him 'falling off the wagon' was heartbreaking yet understandable. His relationship with his siblings showed how caring he was towards them, constant little "I love you" 's plus the hair salon scene between him and his sisters was adorable. I really didnt like how his relationship with ben was this season. It felt completely different to season one, from playful bantering to hurtful remarks. They both turned on eachother because of love. Ben wanted to stay with Jill and possessed Klaus for her. Klaus made Ben leave her so he could try save Dave. However my biggest complaint for the season in general is that we didnt get a proper reaction to Klaus finding out Ben was gone. All those years together, good and bad, I would think he would have a more developed response. I know I'm ranting about him but last point!! His powers. I felt that Klaus' powers in the show arent as good. His levitation being dependant on a ghost holding him? We barely get to see him interact with ghosts, other than talking with/being possessed by Ben. I hope season 3 develops his character more. He still feels like his entire character, despite being the fan favorite, is a subplot.

Five: Five felt softer this season. Of course he's still his angry little time travelling assassin but his scenes with memoriless Vanya felt so soft. On the OTHER hand his fight scenes were SO cool this season! Especially the fight scene against Lila. I wasn't a big fan of the old five vs young five plot but it was still funny. Him travelling a few seconds back in time to save everyone was such a cool scene, one of my favourites.

Ben: WHY DID THEY DO HIM SO DIRTY. He felt a lot angrier this season but I mean, all those years with a self destructive sibling? Falling in love with a living person while being a ghost? Fair reason to be angry. "I missed you all.. So much." Was such a heartbreaking line. He really loved his siblings. I was NOT expecting him to "die" this season. My jaw was dropped the entire time. Even as I was crying when he asked Vanya to hug him. I'm anxious to see what the storyline will be like with him & the sparrow academy. I hope we get something like original ben back!

Vanya: Last but NOT least. I loved her story with Sissy and Harlen. She seemed so much happier. "New timeline new me." YOU GO GIRL! I was so glad to see her standing up for herself this season. But I feel like they're putting too much emphasis on her. She always ends the world. She needs a break. In my opinion giving her a subplot in season 3 and letting the burden of world ending to one of the others. Otherwise I'll just get sick of her, which i DONT want to happen.

Anyways overall a good season, felt like a filler so I hope season 3 is something big!
