#twily talks

[biblicallyinaccuratespoons]

everyone say hi to Beans!

This is my Twili son , and i love him so much

(Traditional art of him below my ramblings)

Frulle of @linked-maze has wonderfully answered all my dumb questions, and thanks to them, my twili's name is Beans!!

also i'm sorry about the firefly, i just think it's neat and that he would like it! also the markings are strange but i love them

He's a farmer, and he mainly grows twili-wheat and takes care of "Vesper" the twili-cows!! he does grow other things, but that is what he mainly does.

he originally was quite thin from when he was first getting his farm up and running. he was quite poor and only had two Vesper and a couple wild wheat seeds to his name, and not much to eat. he foraged for a while until his Vesper started producing milk and he could make cheese and had good harvests and could make bread, he started getting tubby. he's pretty proud of how he looks, since it shows other twilis that the food he grows is good! he's made enough money to buy a small house instead of the little hut he started off with!!

i may give him a partner later on (but i feel like my gf will laugh too hard at the red haired love interest for him) (long story, inside joke, only mentioned for if they see this)

apologies for the weird blobs covering my fingers lmao

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH YOUR HONOUR

TW for me talking about twili reproduction, i tried to ask this in a way that keeps away from words you are uncomfortable with. --------

Welcome back to Anon-Overthinks!!! how does it work? do typically AFAB twili carry the kitten/pup (small twili)?(idk why my mind is calling them that) is it a seahorse situation just to shake things up? can both do it? can they both produce milk? i'm so sorry for asking this, this is what happens when i'm up at 3 am making up a new character (also sorry if this sends multiple times, tumblr is being a silly website again,)

it's the Twilis who are born females who can get pregnant. (sorry I don't wanna do something crazy here cuz I'm personally not a fan of pregnancy at all because of my trigger) and yes they produce milk- but they have seal-like skin so any nipples are covered by the fur- always. Twilis doesn't have the whole "cover-up" situation- cuz there is nothing to even cover up cuz the fur will always be there.

also i LOVE the idea of calling them kittens/pups from now on! XD lets keep that yas.

Okay, so. The Still World and Twilight World. Don't they feel related? Either in color scheme, function or presentation (we even have particles flying upwards!), they look incredibly alike and I think the worldbuilding implication of having this weird dimension being truly "outside" the story makes a ton of sense to me

Happy Halloween from Akos! Dressed as the scariest thing he knows, Nithril the twili 😂 (he definitely has paint in the gills.)

Won't touch the fused shadow with a 20ft pole though.

Me: haha, oh man twilight sparkle is too relatable, so is maude pie, they just like me

Me: ...

Me: ... hey wait a second...

Family Portrait

Alright so here’s my take on what Zant’s family (along with child Zant) might’ve looked like because I haven’t seen much of it on this platform. I haven’t come up with any names for the family members yet, but I probably will soon.

Kinda got lazy on this because I do NOT like drawing more than one person

Bonus Doodle (with Zant’s reaction to the portrait hundreds of years in the future):

Does he feel sad when looking back at his family? Or is he silently judging himself as a child, thinking things like “eugh why did I look like that?!”

Guess we’ll never know.

[jakeperalta]

Linktober Shadow Day 6

Shadow Beast

The Twilight Princess fan in me really came out on this one huh? I blame the sleep deprivation. We never quite addressed the effects of the Twili Magic on Twilight and how it's only sheer force of will and the fact he's so darn kind, Midna's influence and Time teaching him the Song of Healing first being the main factor in making sure he doesn't fall huh? Even more so than the One Cutscene. We also need to talk more about the fact we technically kill Midna's people and how by the end of it all Twi is so changed by the Twilight Realm who's it's own can of worms that, much like Time he can't quite go home as himself me thinks, as a treat to myself

Mostly Twilight x Reader, this goes out to all of the folks who never quite recovered from Twilight Princess and the fact we never got that sequel (I mean it gave us BOTW and TOTK and Wild, but at what cost?), but can be read as Link x Reader either on the platonic or romantic.

Don't think there's any warning this time but might edit later if needed.

Actually yeah there is one warning

TW:

References to body horror typical to Twilight Princess, though I recommend not reading it I'd you're squeamish period.

Even after so long, you and Twilight could still remember the beauty and solemnity of the Twilight Realm, with it’s zircon skies with clouds of trapped fire and rains of viper obsidian.

The silence of the infection upon the realm of light broken only by the echoes of the howling elegy of the Twili and Interlopers who came before creeping over the land like rot and wither over flowers, the lament of the lost spirits of the people and animals of Hyrule falling over your spirit like a shroud, a shared hymm from two worlds reality had been twisted, only both of it’s princess, one filled the luster of empyreal sorrow in her mind and one with the scorch abyssal fury in her heart knowing to see the reflective tragedy befallen to their people. With Link as the one who restored the memory of what once was in both worlds as divinity and calamity sang in his bones and you a witness to the restoration of harmony to the discordant symphony, the two different songs of light and shadow refusing to let go of either of you in an eternal duet.

(Once touched by magic, it shall never leave the one if holds onto Twilight may have been the one with the Beast in his soul, with the howl of a wolf, the bite of shades in his veins and the lament of innocents taking precedence over anything purely because he learned how to silence the whispers of the one’s who made a grab for heaven’s throat and we’re pushed in the cracks of reality for their prideful vánitas even as he could taste it in the back of his tongue, twining around his ribs and overgrowing into his shattered mirror heart like vines, flowering with the divinity and eternal nature of the Hero’s Spirit, already having the hunt of the Fierce Deity in it’s veins and the remains of cursed divinity welcoming the new aspect merrily so he could bear it. The song of the innocent wrongly punished among the sinners rang into your mind, scratched at your skin and dug it’s claws around your throat, chocking you with sorrow and regret, more willing to leave gouges than to let go of someone’s who’s looked into the reverse side of the sacred realm and wept with grief for it’s people and the curse of it’s beauty.

It would never leave you, Link or Zelda, who learned who love the darkness the way Midna did, madness and unsightly delight and all.)

While the people of Hyrule merely became trapped as observers at best, if they were lucky, Midna’s raging grief and resentment quickly became obvious, once she revealed that rotten Zant had done to her and her people, twisted into a new form, distorted in body and trapped in mind like the animals and beasts of Hyrule, their pain driving them in becoming feral attack hounds for the usurper, their howling screams as much sorrow, wailing in an attempt to let their agonized, tortured souls to escape from it’s mouth, a futile attempt to flee from the strain of reality forgetting their true form in favor of Zant’s twisted design, of being used as sentient canvases for cruelty and ruthlessness, of their will being stepped over in favor of corrupting recreation.

Of how it only didn’t quaff down at Midna’s mind because of the nature of her ephemerality, fully beloved by the Realm of Darkness, of how she loathed him for it and wouldn’t wish her fate of that of her people’s on any living or dead soul, once she came to love the Realm of Light through Zelda’s sacrifice.

Which was why, when you saw three of the victims of the telltale twisting from darkness utilized with the intent to drive one insane, a familiar looking plate of stone engraved on the remains of ashes from their identity, the curling of distorted, solid darkness making crooked mishapen manes, bent out of shape from their too long torso and long, long arms adorned with twitching, deformed claws, you feel very justified in way your blood froze, holding onto Wild’s arms and yanking with all you had so his shot will miss, his yelp of surprise swallowed by the bone cracking, blood curdling screech from one of the beasts as a Skyward Strike grazed it’s petrified flesh.

You feel something warm drip down your ears, taste the promise of violence and the cry of lost souls on the back of your tongue and swallow it down as the memory of the Twilight Realm attempted to bite and crack your ribcage to quaff down your heart, to devour it bones and all, calling out in desperation, “Don’t! That’s a person!”

Sky freezes, as still as a statue, Legend curses the heavens crimson in a way you are so glad Wind isn’t around to hear as he retreats Twilight snarls, the wolf in him revolted and disgusted, you wonder if the Twilight is singing in his mind too as he restrains himself from reaching for the crystal as nails just a tad too sharp invite droplets of blood to one hand, grimm as a graveyard “We need to get them together anyway, felling just one won’t be enough.”

You grimace, releasing Wild, keeping your eye on the Shadow Beasts and another on your group, pointedly not mentioning the twitch in Four, amethyst clouding his gaze and the prism of his eyes turning gray with memories you and Twilight both knew all too well, of the grimace in Time’s otherwise stony countenance, you’d wished to avoid bloodshed of whoever was turned against their will, but you and Twilight both knew that might not be possible, death, unfortunately, might be the greatest mercy you can grant these poor souls.

(The Twilight is harmonizing in your ears, jeering, you feel the Interlopers insanity and the Twili’s lament on your teeth. As lovely as it could be cruel, the merry feeling upon meeting, the sorrow at a parting.

If you ever see the Shadow, you might just try indulging the echo by offering it’s blood as tribute. You'd make it hurt. The fact it learned the spell used to deform reality in such a way was cruel and vile.)

“Legend, how is your magic?” shoots Warriors, analyzing, calculating, it snaps the purple back into Four’s gaze, brings his mind back to focus as he reaches into his inventory for his Moon Pearl, Twilight is circling the beasts with single minded purpose, herding them together and prowling as he would as a wolf, Wild thankfully listened to your warning and had switched from the more destructive Flame and Lightning Arrows to ice ones. It doesn’t contain them for long but it gives a few precious seconds to strategize.

Legend catches on, switching to the Ice Rod on one hand and grasping his own Moon Pearl with the other, Sky has another Skyward Strike ready, but doesn’t release it, you switch from your sword to accepting a Magic Rod tossed at you from Wild, “Good enough.”

You breath in shakily, the symphony of the Twilight Realm has quieted, more lament than anthem as it’s Hero steps back, returning to your side, he nods grimly, “... Then, let’s end this quickly.”

You know your will boys will do their best to heal them, and failing that, you hope that they’ll hear the requiem of the Twili rather than the lament once they’re at peace, that they'll find some form of threnody.

It is a horrible thing, to be forced to die as a beast.

2023 art summary~

And my word count for this year (at least of published material) is just shy of 60k! Nowhere near my 200k words from last year but for all the writers block I suffered through I'm very proud!

This year I felt like my skills with lighting have improved dramatically. I've found a new favorite lighting scenario of having a dark background with a hint of light coming off of illuminated parts. It's very nice and I've def overused it and I don't care. I've also gotten soooo much better with monster/creature design. Making Elemon has been such a wonderful experience for me and has been a fun creative outlet (and a nice dumping grounds for oc designs that I don't know what to do with lol)

Next year I want to do some dabbling in animation, as well as refining my painting skills more.

My new years resolution is to try posting process videos on youtube so I can babble about my ocs/work and get over my stage fright.

New EoW Trailer Thoughts!

- mentioned this in another post, but outfits!! Very excited for the outfits, character customization automatically makes it a 10/10 game 👍

- there are what appears to be wanted posters of Zelda, which are quite interesting, although a Goron is seen calling Zelda by name, so i wonder if she just isnt being careful about it or anything

- I loved getting to see the homes and areas of the different races! They are all quite pretty, and it was cool to see Gorons and different Deku Scrub appearances

- Also its just nice to see several different towns, as some top down/2d zeldas have had very few towns within them

- its cool to see the game have proper sidequests! Seems like this is a pretty sizeable game..

- the horse is cool!

- the rifts continue to be very cool and intriguing..

- while the Bind mechanic is cool, i have the feeling that it wont be something i use much unless forced to... my brain gets easily overwhelmed by so many ways to do things

- continuing my last point, thats my biggest (personal) issue w/ modern zelda and the focus on freedom. It just doesnt quite fit my gaming/thinking style?? Like i just recently borrowed a sib's copy of the Link's Awakening remake and dang, i miss old Zelda and its lack of freedom oddly enough 😅

“You’re absolutely horrible,” she teases as he spins her around the rose bushes, and he sends her a massive grin.

“Come on, I know you love when I mock that insolent moblin of a man.”

She giggles. “Why, Link, you must watch your language! A knight of Hyrule never curses in such a manner!”
