#twi hard like twilight but die hard

[bokettochild]

I cannot BELIEVE no one told me we had an update!!!!!

Anyways, here's my favorite bits as always, because I need to SCREAM about this one!

The rupee acquisition!

I love how JoJo included that traditional *item acquired* pose that all the Links do, and gave it a reason in the comic (Wind insisting he hold it up is just so fun)

Sky's comment though, "don't spend it all in one place". Isn't that a line you get in Skord when you acquire rupees? The cute little easter eggs here are so fun!

I also really love how Legend is taking an instructional role here, both with Wars and the champion!

While also letting his veteran show

and I love that the rest recognize that! Wild calling Legend "an expert" and actually listening to what he has to say, even if he doesn't agree with it.

I also super like the panels of Twilight's interaction with Legend here

Very eldest and middle sibling discussing the youngest child, and I love it. It reminds us that, even for all the cuteness we got between them in the last arc, Twilight still sees Legend as too rough around the edges, enough that it borders on bullying when it comes to some of the rest, and he's trying to curb that. And Legend is LISTENING, because (as I've said a thousand times) Legend respects Twilight and values his opinion. Twilight is his big brother too now and Legend, while still being himself, genuinely seems to care about his opinion.

Twilight's just tense in general, although why, I think is mostly because of Time's sharp scolding in the last update. Even though he's snapping back at the younger ones, he's not very happy to be snapped at right now, and he's eager to get out from under Time's watchful eye.

Time and Warriors

Because while he feels e has grounds to correct Legend for telling Wild what to do, Warriors straight up subtly scolding his protege is different. And the difference is that Legend and Wild and Twi had camaraderie (see Dawn p.3), they're brothers, but Wars is approaching this as a commander, a captain, and Twi doesn't appreciate that. Warriors isn't their leader though, but he's taking that role anyways. (Old habits die hard, I'm sure)

I mean, we all knew Wars was going to confront Wild sooner or later, but I'm glad he was so calm about it. Twilight's ruffled feathers (fur) is more from Time being overbearing, I believe, so it aggravates any slight annoyance Warriors might present.

Even despite some of our suspicions earlier, I like this bit here. Wild was a soldier once, and the captain is very much the image of what he would have worked with before. JoJo mentioned wanting to play with that dynamic, with them bothering having military background, and I think this is that training (hundred years ago though it was) kicking in and making the champion defer to the man who outranks him (as far as they know). Granted, they all call Wars "Captain" but this felt pointed.

I do love Four acting as the word of wisdom here, advising Time, just like he does Twilight, as to the best way to handle a team. it's a reminder that he's done this before, and he knows how teamwork can be, but also that sometimes you need space and working together means working in different areas.

Anyways, here's a couple bonus things that make me happy!

Bunny stance!

(shh, I know he's making a point by stepping on Wild's toes, let me have this)

Wars being so freaking pretty! Dear Hylia help me! (Is it wrong I understand Cia a bit now?)

Wind being the youngest sibling who is Done With Your Chatter

A competent boy being competent (and not as experienced as Ledge, but pretty darn close (if you've played both their games you know))

Showing off items! (I can hear the little ✨da nana na✨)

And of course, I love Time being a tired, overprotective parent (he looks like my mom here, good grief!)

LU BACKROOMS???

This is basically me describing backrooms based on the Chain, one on the safer side and one deadly and how to survive them :]

@trippygalaxy @vio-starzz @mushr0oms-and-m0ss @shadowlinktheshadow @raven-does-artstuff-894 @treasure-goblin idk who cares about this but I spent all day on it-

Time

His first liminal space is fairly safe. You can’t die unless you do something diabolical.

His safe room like would be basically like this

You fall down somewhere, probably on your walk home, but you pick yourself up and see that this is very much not the side of the road. This is a grassy field.

There weren’t many grassy fields where you lived. And even those fields were no where near as expansive as this one.

Upon looking around, you see a giant wall and a drawbridge. You start walking to it, thinking that you somehow fell hard enough to pass out.

You reach Castle Town and get weird glances from many. While you’re scouting the area, you spot a little boy in green picking up random dogs. You look at him weird when he puts one dog down and chases after another one.

The boy catches you staring and with one glance, you’re suddenly in that big grassy field again

So yeah, if bro looks at you, you get set back. After a while, this space will easily drive someone insane. This is because no matter what you do, you will meet him, and you both will meet eyes, and you’ll be sent back to the beginning.

So in a way, Survival Rate: 98% but it’s gradual and you might get out of there before you go insane

For his “You’re most likely gonna die” room

I wanted to incorporate Majora’s Mask into it, saying that the masks are hunting you.

There goal is to capture you and bring you to Fierce Deity. He thinks that you killed Link.

But you didn’t because this little kid who told you that he was who the deity was looking for is literally following behind you-

This kid could be regular young Link or Ben Drowned, though it would change the survival rate massively

Survival Rate for young Link: 67%

Survival Rate for Ben Drowned: 15%

This is because the only way to stop being hunted and/or not die is to present a piece of Link to the deity when you’re eventually caught

If it’s Link, he’ll accept it and call the masks off and you’ll be free to move on to the next hell or, if god loves you, you’ll go home

If it’s Ben, you better be fast on your toes because you’ll be hunted until you die or get out of there.

I want to also want to add that the masks don’t just pop up out of no where when they find you.

You know how you have to follow the music in order to learn Saria’s Song? Don’t do that. You’ll be caught

When they emit the Song of Healing, run, Link/Ben will be right on your trail and even if he wasn’t when you stopped running, he’ll always find you even if he leads a mask to you

I forgot to mention that Link/Ben will give you hints as to how you need to give Fierce a piece of his tunic or hair or something close to it

Also that Link/Ben physically can not get close to FD as they are, as the boy says, “part of the same soul”

Twilight

Idea given from @tiercel13 and @link-posting

That whole game has this unsettlingly warm ethereal quality where it's like- you're comfortable but uncomfortable at the same time and it's so weird

But basically I would say somewhere like a large field that's in perpetual twilight. You've never seen it before but it feels safe and familiar, like you've been there a thousand times. Still, there's something just slightly off, and it prevents you from ever being able to truly relax

It’s a village, deserted in the canyons, it’s wooden houses crumbling with time and weathering

Survival Rate: 100%

I think we all expected this one but you’re being hunted. It’s just you, the flora, the fauna, and a big wolf trying to kill you

It’s Wolf Twi but it’s not wolf Twi. Like, that’s the Blue-eyed Beast alright, but that’s definitely not Twilight. That’s a Wolf hardened by the need to survive. A need to eat.

The thing about this room is that it’s very survivable, but only to a select few people

For people who know how to manage in the woods, who know how to make fires without lighters, who know how to properly cook wild animals without utensils and iron, for those who are experienced in the wilds, they have a much easier time surviving this

But for those who are always inside and have little to no outside knowledge, you’re cooked almost immediately

This is a genuine hunt. This wolf can hear god knows how far, this wolf can track you with even the faintest scent

The only reason why the survival rate is as high as it is, is because it hesitates.

That’s how many survive their first encounter with the wolf, the wolf hesitates to take that final bite

I feel like the only real way to get out of here if to survive for a certain amount of time

Survival Rate: 52%

Warriors

Another idea by @tiercel13 because they are so big brained

For safe it's the castle barracks but they have a completely nonsensical layout

there's random doors where they shouldn't be and some of the actual ones are gone, there's things in the rooms like it's just been vacated but a layer of dust covers everything

It must be vacant right? Those shadows that lurk behind the corners are just you going crazy right? Nobody is here. Nobody is here. Nobody is here. Nobody is here-

Survival Rate: 87%

Idea given by @hyrules-feral-hero

You got claustrophobia? That’s too bad, you’re stuck in a fairy bottle now

You don’t get ripped apart or anything like that

Your death will be slow and painful

Conserve oxygen? There’s no reason to, you’re not going to be set free :)

Survival Rate: 0%

Sky

I feel like being blunt with this one

Safe space is just a vacant Skyloft

No one is around, just the occasional keese and Remlits and rapid Loftwings flying about so watch your head!

It’s peaceful and welcoming and airy but empty.

I imagine that this would bring about some sort of uncanny valley feeling, but that is probably the wrong word for it. Because who lived here? Why are these birds so big? Why are these raccoon cats so aggressive at night?

Survival Rate: 100%

Get Silent Realmed😌

Basically just that. If you don’t know what the Silent Realm is, it’s basically a thing you do in SS where you have to get 15 tears

You have to get 15 orbs, if you step into waking water or a spirit’s light or take too long to get one of the orbs, the guardians will be after you

The guardians are what make this space dangerous. If they catch you, no matter how insignificant the gash was, you will die

You can get these guardians off of you when you get the next tear, but until you get all of them and retreat back to where you started, you are at the mercy of the guardians

Survival Rate: 73%

Wild

Picture this, you just woke up in this weird place so naturally, you ask someone where you are.

“This is Faron woods, are you a traveler?”

“…sure…?”

“Great! I can’t really leave this stable with my condition, so could you do me a favor and give this to my wife?” The old man asked

“…what?”

“She lives over in Hateno, up passed the Dueling Peaks!” He shoves a note in your hands

“Sir I-“

“Thank you so much! Here’s your pay for your kindness!” Upon inspecting what he had given you, you see that this is a bare diamond

You were bringing this man’s wife this letter.

Survival Rate: 85%

Evermean forest, good old homicidal trees, need I say more?

Survival Rate: 95%

Wind

Imagine chilling on a boat with your grandpa but your grandpa is the boat.

Yes, the waters are expansive, you haven’t seen an island in days if at all, but this boat is keeping you company, telling jokes, soothing your nerves

Maybe you should be freaking out that this boat is talking, but his voice is nice so what can you say?

You start to joke around, singing dumb sea shanties, he chuckles with your antics, but keeps moving forward.

The sea is vast, but at least you’re not alone

Survival Rate: 98%

Imagine this: You’ve just been dropped in this random place. Now you’re on a random raft in the middle of the sea

Suddenly, the wind isn’t strong enough to push you forward and you’re on top of a tidal wave

Your raft finally gets back on steady water, but now there’s a shadow looming over you

You turn around and you can even comprehend how big it is

It’s probably the Kraken btw

Survival Rate: 0%

You’re cooked 100%

Hyrule

I’m realizing that a good bit of these rooms are in the woods, well, Rulie’s is no better🤷🏽‍♂️

Except these woods don’t have anything trying to actively murder you and eat you

These woods have things trying to help you

Little floating glowing grandmas if you will😌

As soon as you fell into these woods you smelled sugar and sweets, you were still very discombobulated from your fall and now you were suddenly in woods?

Soon enough, you’re swarmed by lights of different colors, they ask you if you’re alright, if you’re ok, what is someone like you doing here

Then they guide you out of the Fairy woods, whether that means that you end up in another room or go home is up to god

Survival Rate: 100%

Idea given to me by @tiercel13

A neverending cave slowly circling further and further down. The deeper you go the more it seems to close in, the air seems thicker, and the voices of people you almost recognize begin to echo off the walls, crying for help

This room, similar to Time’s “safe space” is mostly a “you’re going to go insane” rather than “that thing is gonna fucking kill you” :)

Survival Rate: depends how sane you were when you entered

Four

Imagine going on a wild goose chase for coins kinstones in a field with all the pieces hidden in tall grass

Survival Rate: 100% but it’s hell

This is gonna make some people mad but let me cook rq

You guys know Poppy Playtime? The Smiling Critters that chase you? That one clip from the Hour of Joy when they were eating that one guy alive?

That, but Minish :)

Survival Rate: 0%

As you traverse these woods, you realize that there are no animals in the wake. No rabbits, no mice, not even a wolf.

But this forest is littered with the bones of those lost animals.

So basically for backstory, minish got overpopulated and that meant they ate meat religiously. It was enough to feed, but soon enough, they ran out of food and now they’re hungry again

There is no survival here

There are too many Minish and you are locked in their woods

You can here their chittering and chatting, but if they spot you, you’ll only know by the dead silence of the forest

You can try breaking the bones you find on your path, opening the middle so they can smell the marrow rather than your flesh

But you only have little time and some bones are thick

And- wait…who’s bones are these? These are Hylain bones-

Legend

There are so many choices with Legend…

For his safe room, you’re just chilling on the walls. Not in the walls, on them. Your image is planted on the wall. You can move freely, you’re just glued to the wall, 2D

You’ll probably use this to scare the weird people who live around the house who’s walls you currently inhabit.

Survival Rate: 99.9% (Someone played too much and the family who lived there destroyed the house)

You guys no the movie Us? It’s basically that

There are different versions of you running around and they kinda really want you dead-

Survival Rate: 65%

[cafecourage]

Late to the party but can I request just- spoiling the Chain with love and affection and care (including First!) because these boys deserve it

- Softie, who can't remember if this has been asked for already

I think these can combine nicely. 😊 Because all of these boys have a lot of trauma I am going to make a Hc’s to cover everything.

Time:

This man crumbles when you care for him. He is literally always the person that take's care of others so having someone care for him is new. Even if he knows your not flirting he is still receptive to it. Though Time is going to try to give back everything.

Making Time flustered is actually fairly hard. Yes, I just said he crumbles when cared for. However, he more or less soaks it in. Getting him to go all red and mushy and just flustered is extremely hard. You can pull out all the stops and he will not stray from that calm exterior. Maybe he would be blushing but its not as bad as you when he goes to fluster you.

The most nightmares that he would have are from OoT however the most comforts he needs is more from the Majora's Mask adventure.

Because most of the things he has been through was when he was a child, he probably has some sort of childhood memory lost from it. But its more of he knows what happen but the memories he would have just aren't there. It's not like he can see it in his mind eyes. Though I would imagine he would have nightmares of the future hyrule he saw in the adult timeline. That part of the adventure was more horrifying to him then the child portion of the adventure. When this happens he tends to not go back asleep unless you urge him to. He really doesn't want to wake up in a future with out those he cares about.

Time, I would think still has some anxiety towards not being able to keep track of the days. It's mainly because he did lose track of the time while in Termina and he does flinch every time when a clock tower bell chimes. Time has kept most of his masks including the ones with spirits inside, though he assumes they had moved on to the afterlife at this point as even he can sense the lack of magic. Honestly on days that he is more anxious, you would need to ground him. Hold his hand. Give him a hug. Quiet reassurance.

Twilight:

Twilight's suffering comes from abandonment. I am just gonna call him out. He might have a body horror fear, aiming on himself as transforming into a wolf is disgusting and painful.

Honestly even though it hurts he will still become Wolfie to feel some comfort from the other boys. Just as much as he goes wolf to help the others with comfort. Twilight isn't one to ask for physical affection mainly because he was used to just receiving it

What he wants for affection is hugs and kisses. He needs that reassurance that everything is going to be ok. That your not going to leave him as well, also that everything is going to be ok. He really just needs the love and attention.

Twilight's second worse fear is that he will be left alone for the rest of his life. He has abandonment issues which mixing with his wolf protection instincts is just a complete mess of emotions. Just sit his butt down when he gets overbearing a hug him. From that moment on just ban Twilight from moving. If he needs to walk he is gonna have to carry you.

Sometimes you would also need to drag Twilight away to a more quiet location. Being turned into an animal also heightens your senses. We both know the boys are loud. So if its pampering time. You two wont be seen for hours :D

Warriors:

Warriors will rather die then let his demons be known. Which is really good that you know about his adventure! But seriously, Link hates his weakness showing even in private. The man has bad anxiety, he consistently feels like he is being watched. It's not just because of Cia, but knowing that she was always watching him the whole time didn't help, he also had to deal with traitors.

That being said Warriors is another Link that needs the silent affection and comfort. He might twist it on you. That just so he can twist what it looks like to other people. He will 100% take advantage of 'comforting you' to comfort himself as well. Don't point it out, don't even mention it. He will stop and get defensive.

That being said if he is hurt, then call him out on it. Warriors is more willing to be comforted because he is already hurt. He loves his hair being played with, its an instant relaxer for him when he isn't on high high alert. For example, at bed time he is out like a light, but if you play with his hair while walking through town he will tease you.

Warriors is going to need reassurance from time to time. He doesn't think anyone in the chain is going to betray him. But his brain just tells him to always be on edge just incase of an attack. I think when you get to know him better you would be able to notice it. In case of this emergency. There isn't much you can do, other then hold his hand through it. Distracting him wont do much but when he focus's on you he feels a bit better.

All this to say he doesn't get much sleep. He actually is a nightmare when it comes to nightshifts and wont wake people up because he is to anxious to not be awake and on watch. You might just have to throw him down on the bedroll and lay on top of him.

First:

First is hard to read. No matter how long you've known him. It's hard to know if he is ok. You just know that sometimes First comes up to you, hug you and not say anything. You can be in full conversation with someone and he just hugs you from behind. Face in your hair as he takes in your present.

He really doesn't want you to disappear on him. First lost a lot of people then almost lost his life. So let him just seek you out when he is feeling a bit... out of body.

First in general wont tell you what's the matter with him because he doesn't know what's wrong half the time. I image first is a bit no brain cell type. So like when there is a out of body moment it just confusion. Also it doesn't happen to often.

If he does look bothered by something or maybe a bit more out of it then normal. Hugging typically works. Kissing works as well. But he adores hugs and will pick you up so he could cuddle.

Either way you want to spoil first? Cuddle or hugs. Just make sure your touching him that's all he wants. Adores it even.

Team Trials Chapter 7: Wars

FINALLY.

huge shout out to @hyruledwarriorr and @readingismyhobby24 for their amazing support! That's why I'm dedicating this chapter to you <3

Warnings: angst, me whumping my poor blorbo (Sky)

He and Time lead the others towards where the captured boys were at a furious pace. He refused to let his brother’s descendant die. He had heard Wind’s voice, the shaking, the agony. He knew it was bad. He had seen these fowl monsters in action before and he had vowed never again. But here he was.

Time was starting to sweat, and Wars knew that they would not be able to maintain their current pace unless they wanted to injure themselves. They could only pray that they could make it there before it was too late. Sky and Twilight were valuable members of the team, and Wars could not bear the loss of either, seeing that they had become close friends through both battle and spirit.

Wars rubbed the scars marring his hand. It had become a nervous habit that only Time recognized. Wars glanced behind him and noticed Time jolt. Time’s breath hitched.

“Twilight… they’re losing him.”

Wars picked up his pace doubly. He knew that even if this hurt him in the moment it would be worth it. They would get to Twi on time.

Wild was running as determinedly as any of the others. Wars knew that Wild was determined to never lose anyone again. Wars only had a vague understanding of his background, but what he knew was enough. This boy had all and every right to wish to never lose anyone again. Especially not his mentor.

After some time they came across the place where Twilight and Sky were being held. The door was blown away, likely by Wind and Legend as they searched furiously. Time ran in first, heedless of any danger as he searched for his descendant. Wars couldn’t blame him, of course, but had warned him about such recklessness before. 

It was black. They could see nothing, only feel their way around. All torches and lanterns were unlit, either a potentially terrible sign or an incredible show of magic. Wars would not have been surprised if the source of this was Legend. 

They sprinted through the corridors despite the lack of light, searching furiously for the keep. 

After what felt like eras of time searching for Twilight and Sky, they ran into Legend, who was racing back with the key to free the two.

“What took you so long?”

“We couldn’t trace you very well.”

“Well that much I can tell,” Legend retorted, agitated. 

They followed him through the dark halls, trusting that he would remember the way. He did lead them to where the boys were being kept, but as soon as they were on the threshold of the keep, they heard shuffling behind them.

Wars had assumed a spot in the back, fully recognizing the possibility of attack from behind in the narrow passages. When the hoard rounded the corner, however, he questioned how big the lair was to begin with. Hundreds, maybe a thousand. Wars knew that his sword would not be enough to keep him and the others alive, but he did have a weapon that he had not used in a very long time- his fire rod.

It had brutally burned his hand last time because he had a hard time controlling his rage during a battle frenzy. He had conquered almost an entire army himself. 

The rod was warm in his palm, enticing him to burn everything that stood in between him and his brothers. But he hesitated, his burns reacting with the heat from the rod, feeling fresh.

The armies closed in, and Wars’s hesitation became painfully apparent to him. 

“Duck!” someone behind him shouted, and he hit the ground as efficiently as possible. There was a flash of blinding blue light followed by a yelp of pain. Then a hand offering to help him up.

“It’s not as bad as it looks…” Sky said, looking down sheepishly. 

“Sure,” Wars said shakily, staring at the blood all over Sky’s face, arms, knees, and back.

Wars took Sky’s hand and let him help him up. Wars took his fire rod in his left hand and channeled his magic through it. Fire filled the hallway.

Wars looked back at his brothers anxiously.

“How is he?”

Legend was about to answer when Sky started rasping viciously. He stared up at Wars nigh on fearfully. But he was not afraid of Wars. It was something deeper than that, but what it was, Wars could not tell.

Sky’s rasping turned to violent coughing, and Wars realized he was choking on smoke.

And there was no escaping it.

[crazylittlejester]

Does Wars like stargazing in your silly modern au as well? Or is it different because he didn't have the older siblings to share memories with? (Now I'm imagining the three sillies all laying on a blanket on the roof of their building or in a field looking at stars, might draw that)

He does!! Though for a different reason because yeah, he didn't grow up with any siblings (Linkle is his half-sister but they didn't know each other until a few years ago and they're friends but not SUPER close friends)

In the modern au, the stargazing thing started with Time and Twilight. It's real easy to see the stars out on the ranch, and Twilight thought Wars might appreciate the chance to just breathe in some fresh air and enjoy the quiet. Wars doesn't have a whole lot of free time like. Ever. and he didn't have a lot in high school either, but Twi would steal him whenever he could and they'd drive around for a bit together on old country dirt roads before pulling over and climbing up on top of Twi's old pickup truck to look at the stars. Sky would join them when he was able, he just wasn't allowed to stay out too late so most of the time it was Twi and Wars

Sometimes when Sky and Wars got to sleep over (in high school) they'd climb the roof, but a lot of it was Twi stealing Wars for an hour because he would "drive him home" (go an hour and a half out of his way to pick his friend up, drive around, and THEN drop him off, because Twi got a license before Wars did. Time and Malon only approved of this because Twi phrased it like Wars would explode and die and he'd never see him again if he couldn't pick him up and take him home (Time and Malon also just didn't care because he was literally just hanging out with his friend who he rarely got to see))

NOW the three of them will go out driving on the weekends sometimes in War's car, windows down just enjoying the fresh air. They live in a city so it's hard for them to see the stars from outside their apartment because things are so bright (though not impossible). Sometimes they aren't able to actually get out of the car and they'll just go for night drives, but if they all commit to spending like four or more hours of their evening on stargazing they'll head out towards the ranch and either commit and go all the way or pull over on a dirt road in the middle of a bunch of fields and get out for a bit (Wars is definitely less cool about people sitting on the roof of his car than Twi was alskjljk, and Twi doesn't own a car anymore because his old truck tragically died and he bought a motorcycle instead of a new car and then Sky can't drive)

in the winter they'll walk around the city and look at the holiday lights because they don't wanna drive in the dark on icy roads, and they'll make fun of Wars EVERY single time he, in his boots or regular shoes, steps on an ice patch. He doesn't even have to fall, they'll 'bully' him if he so much as stumbles a little bit

oh boy that ended up long akvjdhkjsl sorry you summoned the Yapper in me 🥺

[legendofmorons]

911, my prophecy sucks please help

Pairing: First & Wild, Fierce & Wild

Rating: T

Summary: Wild goes to see his mentors psuedo grandfather for advice on an unlucky prophecy

Warnings: cursing?

Other: Part of the PJO AU, if I missed anything please let me know

-------

Wild dosen’t actually want to go see the old man who's earned the name Fierce - the elder has always been quiet and looks as if he knows you die in a horrible way. Honestly, maybe Fierce does know that.

But his mentor has instructed him to go to Fierce- and enlist his help before Wild goes on a quest to save Flora.

So he stands on the porch of a grand home - and he waits for the door to be answered.

a young woman opens the door, she's got on elegant jewlry- and Wild sort of recognizes her. He thinks she's in the first cohort with him. She's in her first year.

"Oh! Centurion Wild!" She says with a smile, "Are you here for dad?"

"I am here to seek help from Fierce." Wild says, try to be as polished as possible.

"Of course! Come in, I'll fetch him. Dad can help you if you need it." She says, running off and up the stairs.

Wild steps inside, shutting the door behind him and standing there hands behind his back and as straight spine as he can.

A man descends the stairs - looking to be in his mid to late thirties. He's got stubble and messy blonde hair.

"Hello, Centurion." The man says.

"Senator."

The man just motions towards the doorway of the living room.

Wild would argue- but he's sure it would just cause issues. So he walks to the living room, standing beside a leather armchair.

"Time and his family speak highly of you." The man says.

"Thank you, First. That is good to know." Wild answers simply.

"I am sorry to hear about Flora. She has been a very capable soilder and Centurion."

Wild nods in acknowledgment, once again unsure how to interact with an elder. Especially one so well loved.

First has a list of accomplishments, almost as grand as his father's. He'd served as a Centurion in the first cohort and quickly earned a spot as senator.

First soften a little, though he still looks like a soilder. "You can relax, you know. Our formality does not require yours."

"I appreciate that." Wild says, knowing that he will not be relaxing. Thank you very much.

First just nods. He's much less chatty than his daughter, but that's not a surprise.

Footsteps alert Wild to the return of Diana. She has her grandfather in tow.

Fierce comes in, with hair like snow and a beautifully carved cane that looks like Twilight's work.

"Hello, young Centurion." Fierce says as he enters the room.

"Elder Fierce."

"None of that, just Fierce." He says simply, "You are Time's grandson, yes?"

"I am not." Wild says simply.

As much as he looks up to his mentor and his mentors father- he is not their family. He never will be even if they have filled in as familial figures for him.

"That's hard to believe, I've heard how Time and Twi talk about you."

Wild just looks at the wall, trying not to let any hope into his heart. None of this is what needs to be focused on.

"Don't be so humble, little one. You live up to your family - blood and chosen."

"Please, Elder Fierce, I need your guidance to save Centurion Flora." Wild says in an effort to redirect to the reason he's here.

"Ah- Roahm's girl. She's like her mothers." Fierce says, eyes falling to Wild again.

"Yes."

"What prophecy do you have?"

"Bellona's son must walk alone without his memories or help from his home. To find the one who makes him whole, he must travel back to Rome. When the ancient one brings him to his knees, he will either win or freeze. The end of his path will reveal that which is lost, but only at a heavy cost." Wild recites, grim and displeased with the whole thing.

Fierce frowns, and he looks angry. Not at Wild- but angry.

"That sounds like you're got to lose yourself."

"I know... Twilight suggested I ask if you had advice."

"Prepare more first aid... and make your peace... You will not come back the same."

"Oh."

"Go to Urbosa, ask her to give you her jewel."

"If you think it wise."

"Of course. Ask Daruk for aid, as well as Revali and Mipha."

"Of course."

"Does your sister have someone to watch her?"

"Senator Time is. As well as our temporary centurions."

"Good. I will ask Diana to watch her as well."

"Thank you."

"Do not fear - Wild... You are the type to win despite odds."

"That's very kind, sir."

Fierce just tilts his head. "You seem unaware of your abilities. You are impressive, Wild. I've watched you hold your own against twelve others at once."

"It's not that impressive."

"At ypur age, I could only defend against six at once. You are incredible. I don't know how you will come back, but I know you will."

Wild just rubs the back of his neck. He dosen’t know what to say. At all.

But it's nice to know such a respected veteran and leader has so much faith in him. He might actually succeed.

"Father is right, you know." First adds. "I know we haven't been able to spend much time with you, but you are one of the best the legion has turned out in either of our lifetimes."

"Thank you."

"And make sure you talk to Legend. He's always got something up his " First says woth a soft smile, "And he likes you."

"I will. He is important to me. I wouldn't leave without telling him goodbye." Wild admits.

He means it, too. While Time, Malon, and Twilight have filled in as family, Legend might as well be his brother. (Even of Twilight is also like a brother. We're ignoring the parental roles Time and Malon have filled.)

"And do talk to Sky as well," Fierce adds, "He seems to have a way with traveling."

"He already helped me." Wild admits.

Because of course he went to Sky. Sky is-

Sky is someone close to Wild. Not family, officials.

But Sky is basically family to Wild.

Not that any of the people he thinks of as family have been told that.

Officially, Wild only has his two younger sisters.

Thankfully, Time and Malon have agreed to take care of them while Wild is gone.

"I am sorry I can't offer you more." Fierce says.

"I appreciate your time." Wild says as he stands.

"Good fortune to you, Wild. And when you come back, we will happily host a dinner for you." First says evenly.

Wild just nods. He's talked a lot to people he barley knows. Today has been too much.

Fuck.

After Wild arrives back home, he allows himself to truly panic.

He's going to go solo and probably loose his memories. He might not even remember what he's supposed to do!

[toyouhellohowareyou]

We can ask you for a director's cut??? Let me come on here and enable you. Please.

So we narrowed this down a little more and I'm going to mention something from Two Moon Pearls and the Master Sword that doesn't get brought up often, and that's that (in my opinion) the scene where Link (Baby Legend/Lore) is the most like Legend is the scene in chapter 4 where he's stuck as a rabbit and tricking Twilight into getting him into the flight.

Link needs that red cape. Link needs that cape so bad.

Sees an item that can solve a problem and builds a plan around it. He's a brave kid and looks for what he can do rather than trying to stay out of it.

Link wonders if it’s actually possible to die from a fright induced heart attack [] He can’t answer, he’s not sure he can breathe.

Rabbits will just drop dead from fright heart attacks sometimes. Poor bunnies. This was a bunny thing. Twi didn't mean to scare him so badly.

Also note his default response is still Flight, while Legend's has more Fight response because Legend is angrier, more confident, and has had too many times where running wasn't an option. This holds and is more obvious in Ocarina, Oracle.

One of the big differences between Legend and Link is that Legend is very sure of himself and his capabilities.

He’s, he’s… he doesn’t know what he is, who he is, it was confusing enough before he met this group.

Being a tween is confusing enough without being orphaned or turning into a rabbit or finding out you're a destined hero, you know?

He can’t worry about that, that’s not a priority. There’s something he has to do, focus, focus, everything else can wait.

Okay, this is very Legend, and more than that, this is one of his bad habits developing. Push everything down to deal with later because there's something more pressing at the time, then never deal with it. It starts as a response to, and way of dealing with, fear, but then expands to other unpleasant emotions.

Link does it in chapter 2 as well when he's trying not to cry around them. He's not allowed to feel any of this until Zelda is safe. He's terrified if he lets himself slip he'll fail.

He is aware the boy before him failed, and he is so, so afraid.

He sits abruptly, takes a single deep, gasping breath, holds it, then lets it out slowly and deliberately. Then he does it again. And again.

Physical manifestation of doing the above and getting his bunny body freak out under control.

It’s so big, so strong, it has claws and teeth and it’s watching him with blue eyes, like a person. It’s a person. (People aren’t any safer). He shoves that thought away, he doesn’t have time.

Baby boy has dog trauma. Baby boy has knight trauma. He's been hunted by both for months. But Legend is the one who gets things done. Core character trait. *The* Legend character trait in this. He's not the strongest or smartest or most charismatic, but he finds a way to get the job done. He just did all that repressing and he keeps it up because there's something he has to do. He was very brave with both Wars and Twi.

“I need it and I’ll get it without you if I have to!” the rabbit faces down the wolf, glaring.

It snorts at him and Link’s fur puffs up.

Brave, indignant boy. He's still a Link after all. Twi likes his pluck.

Link takes the cape and after some fumbling, practically crawls into it and holds the collar around his neck. He feeds magic into it and is relieved when it works

Established in chapter 2: Legend can power items while transformed. They're just hard to hold in bunny paws.

There’s no way he can get where he needs to go quickly enough or without running out his magic.

Has to rejig the plan and does so quickly. He's a clever kid, he had to be to make it this far. He's *good* at this

And what Wind said is true, there’s no way they’re going to let him do anything if they can help it.

lol yeah, they weren't going to let him fight.

“I need to get to the pyramid,” he says urgently.

“Kid, don’t do anything dangerous.”

“I’m not,” he lies, he doesn’t like to lie but this is important, “Please, I need to get back to the fairy who upgraded my sword. I’ll be safer there anyway.”

He's also very pragmatic and while he's a good kid we come back to Legend being the one who gets things done. Also he's been on the lam for a while now. He's been bold faced lying to survive.

The final sword upgrade is from a fairy in a little room on the Pyramid. This whole thing follows the game path much more than the manga.

Edit: oh yeah, and Twi made the mistake of seeing him as being a kid more than being a Link, more than being Legend

Easter egg: You need to have beaten Ganon and Vaati to get into the Palace on the GBA version. And between them, Legend and Four had. The text from that section in ch3 is straight from the game.

And it works, and he's the one to kill the Vio shadow because maybe he's not as capable as he will be, maybe he's still young, but he's not helpless. He's the goddamned Hero of Legend.

The wolf hesitates, then caves to that innocent bunny face, “Alright.”

And with this he's (without noticing) done the same thing Legend did in using his sweet, guileless bunny appearance to get someone to let their guard down so he could run off to a fight he knows he would get resistance to joining. He hasn't internalised 'someone else can maybe handle this' at all. He's using what's at his disposal to get what he wants. That's the planning/problem solving Legend excels in.

Thanks Thea! 💕

Tenuous

(tw: blood mention)

Four grunted as he dug his elbows into the rock. He felt the threads of his sleeves rip open and rocks dig into his skin.

"Four-"

Twilight's sweaty hand slipped, just barely. Four gasped and strengthened his tenuous hold as much as he could.

"Four, you have-"

"Shut up, Twi!" Four growled.

"You-" Twilight's voice broke. He coughed violently , and Four watched in horror as a small stream of blood trickled down his cheek.

"You have to let me go," Twilight said.

There was a growl behind him. Four whipped his head around just in time to see the bokoblin raise its sword. Four kicked it as hard as he could, and it stumbled backwards a couple of steps.

"I'm not letting go!" Four yelled. Twilight made a noise that almost sounded like a sob. Four grit his teeth and tightened his fingers around Twilight's.

"If you don't, you'll die!" Twilight argued.

Four couldn't respond. He had to turn and kick the bokoblin again. This time he got it in the face, and it fell backwards and tumbled a short distance down the rocky mountain.

"I'm not letting go!" Four yelled.

Send an ask with a word or phrase and I'll write a "three sentence" fic in response!

[somer-writes]

I am finally out of school so PREPARE FOR ME TO ABSOLUTE OBLITERATE YOU WITH APPRECIATIONN

I read you're newest fluff fic with Twi and Wars and I just wanna say I absolutely sobbed over it I WAS GOING INSANEE

they make me smile and giggle and feel so warm inside I cannot express how happy I was reading through all of it you're a master at how you write, fr!!

the notions in the fic we're perfect- Wars feeling bad for having lost Twi's cord and trying to make it up to him truly shows how much he cares for his brother and Twi trying not to let Wars get too stressed and upset over it is utterly adorable.

AND THEM TALKING ABOUT VISITING EACHOTHER WHEN THEY DIE IM DEADDD THAT HIT SO HARD OMG and Twi also getting upset whenever Wars talking about his past :(( I'm about to cry all over again help me

They are honestly the. brothers. EVER. They care so much about each other and they have such unconditional love it's too sweet. I also appreciate the fact that you added in Twi's deal to wanting to see Wars after everything is done and over with. It just shows the dedication to their relationship as brothers and best friends. You capture their dynamic so perfectly and I couldn't be happier <3

so sorry for all the yapping I did, I just really love twi and wars, they bring so much comfort and I absolutely adore the way you write them. you're easily one of my most favorite authors in the LU fandom and I love reading all your work, it's absolutely fantastic. I genuinely believe that you have a talent with this and I'd love to see all your upcoming works!! I hope you know how appreciated you are and I hope for good things in your lifetime. You deserve all the support you can get, I'm so glad to be you're friend and I'm so glad I'm able to enjoy the things you write. Keep up the great work!! ❤

CAPTAIN YOURE TOO KIND!!!!

also dont apologize! i love sharing the brainrot with others <3 i too am extremely feral for the brothers ever XD

its like even though theyre separated by perhaps thousands of years, their love persists through time and space and theyre better people because of it! even if twilight isnt there anymore in wars era, his presence still is and so is his memory and the impression he made on somebody <3

i just love exploring memoriam and how there is no time limit or boundary on love and theres love that isnt romantic! theyre like found family soulmates XD

HSH Febuwhump Day 20 - Knife Wound

I think Hyrule can be dumb and stubborn every now and then. No one is responsible 100 percent of the time.

----

Thunk!

Warriors watched in silent horror. Right beside him, Sky cringed with his whole body, neck tensing and teeth fully exposed in a pained grimace.

Thunk!

Four’s attention was fully on the knife, mouth wobbling like he wanted to say something. Twilight looked ready to leap over the table and put a stop to it himself.

Thunk!

Legend winced with every hit, hissing in anticipation of blood. Even Wind, who usually didn’t care much what the others did, flinched every time the knife came down.

Thunk!

The whole room held their breath, watching. Like the worlds slowest train derailment, all they could do was await the inevitable. 

They knew their words would do nothing. This was a matter of pride, now. They knew it just from the look in Hyrule’s eyes as he slammed the knife down again, glancing off his target and digging the blade into soft flesh. Everyone inhaled sharply. 

But there was no blood. Yet.

The avocado wasn’t looking too good though. 

“Hyrule, please.” Twilight tried to intervene again. He reached for the knife, terrified of Hyrule’s de-pitting methods. But the doctor just turned away from him and stabbed the fruit again. 

“I got it, Twi.” Hyrule’s tone was unusually harsh. He would conquer this avocado, or die trying.

No one knew what he had against avocados.

“Is he always like this?” Four asked. He’d brought up his magazine to his chin, as if hiding behind the glossy pages. 

“Yes. With avocados exclusively.” Legend grit his teeth as Hyrule missed the seed again and mangled the green flesh of the fruit further. He would usually step in to stop Hyrule from making poor choices, but he already knew this wasn’t a battle he’d win. He’s been living with the doctor long enough to know this only ends one way. “I don’t know why.”

“It’s his mortal enemy.” Sky breathed. The ex-guard recognized that hard look in Hyrule's eye. That was a stare one reserved for their greatest foe. 

“This is so stupid - Hyrule let Twi help.” Warriors reached his limit. The blonde stood up and attempted to flank the doctor as Twilight went in for another grab. “You’re going to stab yourself. Let’s be reasonable, yeah?”

“I said I got it.” In a show of uncharacteristic childishness, Hyrule wriggled away from them, holding his hands outstretched and sticking his butt to them to stop them from taking the knife away. “If you just let me do this-”

“-You’ll cut your hand.” Twilight grabbed for the knife again, using his superior arm length to reach over Hyrule’s shoulder. He almost got it, fingertips brushing the handle. 

But this was a mistake. Seeing the end in sight, Hyrule narrowed his eyes. With the clock having run out, he took one last desperate stab at the pit, this time holding the knife straight down in a stabbing motion in hopes of piercing it with sheer force. 

Well, he pierced something. 

But it wasn't the pit.

----

(Don’t google avocado hand unless you’re okay with blood. Because yikes this must be the most dangerous fruit in the world)

Hyrule can’t cook and I now headcanon that his mortal enemy is avocado. The fruit has wounded him one too many times so now it’s just a matter of dumb pride that he deals with it himself.

So far the score is Avocado: 17, Hyrule: 0

ok then dream sequence

ah he's sent the girls to get dean

this also feels vaguely fetish-y

ThUD

Mans has been to hell, he's doing pretty good

also Dean is NOT looking good

NOT FUCKING REVERSE GRIP

"has some campbell in him" SAMUEL COME ON MAN

well...there went Boris

jeez Dean's just...a badass

boy that looks DIGUSTING

HE IS SO BLOODY OH MY GOD

He"S VOMITING PURPLE

the sam smile

OH JEESUS THE HALF SMILE WHEN HE GETS TURNED

he knows

building an army, psychic bond, and they're not scared of hunters

hmmm

"how'd it go" "it didn't" there's the consequence

"Can always count on you" oh he KNOWS

1. oh the Sam soulless thing is CLEAR! or that something's fucked up. Did they beat you over the head with it? yes. but it's clear. like halfway ur like huh he could have stopped it, but then Samuel brings it up and then the half smile at the end. Sam's going an ends justify the means route, which makes sense, but in this case, it probably permanently fucked up Dean's relationship with Lisa. shit's happening with it, and like yeah, something will happen

2. Dean's kinda balancing this I'm a monster + I wanna be a Cool Badass Hunter + I wanna be a family Man. I can attribute this to whoever's writing him and the sheer number which can account for the inconsistencies, but I think he's trying to find himself. He doesn't want the life with Lisa, but he Should, but he kinda wants the hunter life but he Doesn't, he does both and loses one, idk man, it's him figuring it out. and then adding onto that whole monster thing, like that is a whole other thing. Like it's not always fun to watch but it's still like...there's something there that isn't as obvious

3. The camera work is a lot more Zooms and Goofy now. Like there's more jokes and gags. I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda enjoying it. I like Dark Gothic shit, but also having a like...reboot be a bit fluffier is like...I think I'm ok with that.

4. No, Lisa would not stay with him. come on

5. i kinda like the updates to the lore they're doing. Like the vampires drink blood pouches like juice boxes and the blood booths to keep compliant, and the psychic thing, and the fact that twilight helped tha vampire craze because teen girls are impressionable with not that much life experience. it's kind of a neat blend

6. ALSO DEAN IS A BADASS! LIKE HE JUST TOOK ALL OF THEM DOWN!! PLEASE MENTION THAT MORE! HE WENT TO HELL AND IS ACTUALLY REALLY SMART AND GOOD AT HIS JOB! HE JUST ANGST ABOUT IT!

[skyloftian-nutcase]

Thoughts on the LU boys and being sick

Time: Generally, he tries to be a responsible adult. He keeps things to himself, but if he sees something getting out of hand he'll admit defeat. He isn't in denial about being sick so much as just shouldering it on his own because that's just what he does. But let me tell you, his way of handling and bearing his illness depends entirely upon location. If he's on the road, he tries to address it privately and doesn't complain. If he's at home, he's going to annoy the heck out of Malon and vie for attention because why not be a gremlin when he has the opportunity? He's safe at home, he can be silly at home, he can let his loving wife take care of him or get exasperated at him, depending on the severity.

Warriors: He's also a responsible adult! Really, he is, once you get passed the unreasonable paranoia of getting everyone else sick. He'll take care of himself just fine. But heaven forbid it progress beyond something simple, because Warriors would rather die than let someone get near him. This usually results in bargaining or arguing, or in him hiding it so well until he's incapable of doing anything.

Twilight: Ah, yes, another responsible person HAHA I'm just kidding this is Twi we're talking about. He doesn't get sick, after all. Oh, no. Never gets sick. Nope. And if he does he still doesn't get sick and you'd better not say to his face that he's ill because he will deny it. He will literally flee and hide so that others don't have to take care of him. Unlike Wars it isn't paranoia about spreading disease so much as a desire to not force anybody else to take care of him. Nobody is going to see him falter, nobody is going to have to care for him, he refuses to let that happen. The others have endured far worse than him, after all, he can handle this, thanks. He'll suffer in silence until Time, Warriors, or Wild tracks him down, and then it's game over.

Sky: This poor, poor baby. If you really think about it, Sky has literally no immunity to anything on the Surface. He'll catch just about anything, and his reaction to it varies from sniffles and being quietly miserable or downright freaking dying. When Sky coughs the whole group freezes and then proceeds to set up Sky Watch so someone always has eyes on him in case he collapses. Because he has collapsed. Multiple times. And no one ever knows when it's going to happen because Sky absolutely hates admitting that something is wrong. He refuses to admit it because he refuses to let it slow him down. He's gotten so used to feeling like garbage one way or another that he just shoulders it and sometimes even he doesn't know when it's bad or not. Sky honestly feels really awful about worrying everyone and tries to insist on taking care of himself, but he really can't help it, and it just piles on the whole guilt complex of wow this is all my fault and they have to take care of me.

Legend: This boy right here goes so hard in two different directions. If he's just regular sick, he makes sure everyone knows how miserable he is and is a huge grouch. If he's really ill then he gets vulnerable, and that's when everyone worries. If Legend isn't complaining every five seconds about how this sucks and it's the worst thing ever, then he's not doing great.

Wind: Wind is the baby of the group, so he has two different ways he can take this depending on his mood. If he feels crummy and just wants to be taken care of, he will milk this for all that it's worth. Because all he has to do is just let out the slightest whimper or throw a little pout and all the boys will be jumping in to help. But if he has something to prove, or he feels like he hasn't been shown the respect he deserves as a Hero of Courage lately then he'll shoulder it and fight tooth and nail before admitting defeat. Surprisingly he's one of the more responsible Links - if he gets too sick he'll ask for time to rest or for help. But it takes a bit for him to reach that point.

Hyrule: This kid travels on his own for years with barely any interaction. If he gets sick, he just rolls with it. He'll keep trudging along. He won't bother hiding his illness, but he won't make a fuss over it either. If he feels like he's going to get a fever he'll find somewhere safe to hunker down and rest. He tends to feel very unsafe when he's sick and out in the wilderness, and he becomes hyper aware and paranoid about everything. He doubles up on potions, he doubles up on magic, he acts like he's going to go to war because he knows he's vulnerable and he knows that's when they'll strike. It takes multiple times for the Chain to remind him that they'll protect him and he doesn't have to worry as much. Is usually reluctant to accept help simply because he's not comfortable with being near others while so vulnerable, but if he's sick enough he'll take it and feel reassured by it.

Wild: Kind of similar to Hyrule, but he usually will hunker down and make a whole bunch of food on top of building a veritable fortress. He is not used to being taken care of, and being the touch starved and emotional wreck that he is, he will eat up all the care he can get, though he tries to insist to continue cooking for everyone until Wars is all you'll infect the food this and for heaven's sake you're literally coughing on the stew that.

Four: He’s surprisingly sensible if it’s bad enough. But if it’s just something mild, he’ll accept a little help but you can quickly tip his scale between being helpful and babying him, and I’d that scale gets tipped he starts getting a little snippy. He’s got it, thanks. Being sick tends to make him a little grouchy. When he’s Split, it’s a completely different story. Red is super needy, Blue is pissed, Green tries to carry on without slowing down, and Vio just gets very pensive and drags his feet about everything. Four tries to avoid Splitting when he’s sick because it’s absolute chaos trying to coordinate anything that way.

Peak characterization for Twilight is your last fic where the fact that Twi is the mature responsible village babysitter who spends his free time playing with/teaching the kids hard skills and would fucking die for them is SUCH a goody two shoes that when someone asks him to keep a secret (not even a bad one it's a little surprise to lighten someone's day) his brain encounters an error code.

Twi is such a cinnamon roll

ALSKDKD EXACTLY, like yes, Twilight is so responsible and a bit of an anxious mess, and the second Time was like “I need your help, I’m surprising Wars with a good day” Twilight’s brain just turned off and the only obvious solution to his problem was to do everything in his power to ignore Wars

But then he missed Wars so much and it turned into him awkwardly staring at tree and turning into Wolfie so he couldn’t be questioned 😭
