Mari, Lady of the Village

Mari was born in a small town in the southern parts of Vanar. She was a bright and intelligent child who liked to read and study. She was born as a boy, but through the years, she slowly began to realize that she didn't really like being a boy.

Her family wasn't exactly understanding of this. Once they heard, they're attitude towards her switched from kind and caring, to cold and sometimes downright cruel.

Mari had enough of this when she was about 18 running away from home, wanting to be free from the wrath of her family. While running, she found a strange talisman of some kind. It looked like something she had read about. A type of artifact that could potentially make your biggest dream come true.

She wished to be her true self. And because of this, she turned into the girl she is now.

Still she continued to run, eventually finding her way to a village known as Mayville. Mari was cared for there and eventually she saw them as her family.

Including another new girl named June, who Mari immediately befriended. The two even served in the village's guard together. June is the first person who she told about her past, and she is thankful to have such a trusted friend.

One day, members of the Silver Lances, a famous mercenary company, came to the village's defense. Inspired, Mari thought about joining them in order to be brave like them. June and Mari both decided to resign temporarily and join the Silver Lances, promising to return with stories of their travels. She specifically wants to grow strong enough to be able to tell everyone about her past.

I am aware I said i wasnt gonna post my zelda 2.0 redesigns until i finished them all, but considering these have been sitting for nearly a year at this point (and may have been mucked by the new game coming out soon but who knows) I figured I might as well start sharing them.

But yes Links are included this round, some have funny pages, I promise i’m using the magazine/game manual pink dress zelda, just probably not where you’re thinking

February's zine! Each scene is a 4-page spread making up a 16-page booklet. Originally, I was just going to draw one bug per page, but I got more than 16 bugs, and I am fond of making scenes and telling stories anyway, so that's what I went with. :)

Bonus flat view of the zine below the cut

Ru'aun World Building : Holidays

Nater Day

Virtue of Irene = Forgiveness

Celebration of life, living and all things alive. The idea is to wash away all the sins, grief, and hardship of the previous year, and move into the next free of the past. (Very Irene-esque 👀). Thus the "forgiveness"

Last week of The Matron's month

Nater is a play off of the word "Nether"

Villagers do basically do whatever makes them happy! Each village have their own traditions but some go across all of Ru'aun.

Traditions:

Gift Giving - Tokens of love, achievement, and miscellaneous trinkets

Short work days, week Off for work and school, minimal travel

Blessed Water - Ru'aun Holy Water except died purple with a distinctive flowery taste and sticky texture. Made in bulk for all of Nater. Village babies commonly get "Baptise" during Nater.

Nater Bread - sweet bread drenched with spice milk and topped with sugar cream

Prayers to Irene for good luck and fortune

Nater Wishes - Villagers write their years wishes on paper, ribbons and cloth the early morning of Nater.

"Lord Dowsing" or "King Shower": Village Lords stand before their people and allow themselves to be dowsed in Blessed Water. Villagers will then throw their Nater Wishes at their lord for good luck. Whoever's wishes stuck to their lord would come true! (It is common for Lords to attempt to grant at least one wish that stuck if it is in their ability.)

Some go about "King Showers" differently, most of Ru'aun just practise as it is written above. But in Meteli, since everyone there seems to have a sense of humor, they will actually also throw Nater Day treats and foods at their lord, and by the end, they'll be a sticky mess. They then have a good laugh.

In Scaleswind and Brightport they just bake Nater Bread and stuff their wishes in the middle. Because these villages are larger than Phoenix Drop they have to hope that their bread even gets to their lord at all.

So, you know how when an author is writing og!Cale and they want to give him a power, sometimes they give him fantasy spirit stuff? Well, I want elementals to have the usual 'spirit king per attribute' that you usually find in fantasy mangas, but make the water spirit king an axolotl and let og!Cale befriend them.

And when I say Axolotl Water Spirit King I mean 'non-parlant little flying axolotl' that can turn into a 'giantic, water-looking-like, could swallow a pirate ship, still non-parlant axolotl' a la Ponyo.

Just, Imagine og!Cale who was just minding his business and finds a little dorky amphibian that got trapped in a net. And the little dorky one smiles at him. He has no choice but to help it.

The little one likes him. They become friends :D!!

So, turns out his animal friend can fly. Cool.

His new friend decided to follow him— Wait, where is he going?

...Oh.

So, his little friend is not so little anymore.

Ey, don't— spit it out! Spit the bad woman out!

And he doesn't like his relatives.

Plwease consider Belos having his “oh fuck I’m the bad guy” moment and IMMEDIATELY THE GG ghosts/hallucinations start dunking on him

It's funny you say this cause he does in fact have a break down after finally having it click in his brain. And you know what happens when old man Phil experiences intense emotions!

BIG GOOP MONSTER COMES OUT

Goes a bit crazy, a bit cooky, the rage goes over into sorrow and my dude just kinda passes out due to exhaustion after his temper tantrum.

And then he dreams, but this time it's a LOT more worse than usual.

So yea , you're pretty spot on with that idea lol

People within the Scroll of Memory

[amalthea-felsblood]

Marian and Estinien kept their two children a well-kept secret; their first was a son they named Edred. Both overjoyed but also afraid. They knew the dangers tied to them being protectors of the realm, so they made a plan and reached out to every settlement in the Dravanian Forelands, from the hunters in Tailfeather to the dragons of Aynx Trine. They pleaded with each settlement to help watch over their child and, if the danger ever touched the land, to quickly send him to Ishgard for safekeeping under Aymeric de Borel's protection, and without question, each settlement agreed. Though it did weigh heavily on their hearts, Marian and Estinien knew this would be the safest course for now. As time went on and Edred grew, he befriended an orphan girl named Amelia in Idyllshire, and the two became like brother and sister, so with each visit Marian and Estinien treated Amelia as their own until one day they decided to adopt her and gave her the life she always deserved. When it was calm, they would take their children back home to Ishgard for short or long periods of time, giving them as much love and attention as they needed. Thankfully, their children always understood the gravity of why their parents had to always run into the face of doom and saw them as true heroes, and one day they would follow in their footsteps.

Social Makeup Study - Hateno Village (HFS, TotK)

Village Structure

Leadership system: Eldership and a monarchy-like structure both appear to be used at once. An electoral system has become popular with some citizens, and Hyrule's monarchy has begun to restore itself, both further complicating the matter. Traditionally, Hateno used an eldership system exclusively, but Hyrule's sudden destruction 100 years ago brought elements of a monarchy (primarily that there is one leader who inherits the position).

Leader/Ruler: Reede Imperial (leader/mayor, under dispute), Link Hyrule (elder, under dispute, King of Hyrule)

Economy: As a former land of exile, Hateno is traditionally non-exporting. However, the village became known for agriculture and dye production after the Age of Burning Fields. Recently, the village has become a hub for textiles such as clothing and hats. The past century has brought significant changes in this area, which has also brought unease.

Demographics: Historically was 100% Pedigreed Wolfbred, although the modern village has a makeup of approximately 50% Wolfbred/Wolfbred Hybrid and 50% Hylian. This shift was also brought about in the last 100 years.

Beliefs and Afterlife: A Hylia-worshipping village. Wolfbred mythology depicts them having been created by the Twilight's interaction with their ancestor and believe that the Twilight became heritable through his line. Although the Twilight Realm is not an afterlife realm (nor was it intended to be), the Wolfbred still believe their ghosts will be returned to the Realm when their bodies fail because of their own Twilight, and believe that Midna created the Celaeno Orientalis constellation (a wolf-like constellation that appears over Hateno) as a replacement for the Mirror of Twilight to help their souls return "home". Due to the Mirror of Twilight's destruction, there is no way to confirm or deny this belief; however, it appears to have been reinforced by Link's successful command of both Wolfbred-like spirits and Hylia's Honor Guard (souls of past heroes) in battle.

Citizens

Link (Imperial) Hyrule: The last documented male Wolfbred, and the last Wolfbred born under exile. For this reason, he’s referred to as the last “Pedigreed Wolfbred”.  Champion of Hyrule/Hylians, despite not technically being Hylian, and beloved mate of Princess Zelda. Died during the Great Calamity, but not before becoming King of Hyrule. The first Wolfbred King since Kakku. Cause of death: fatal battle wounds. He was resurrected 100 years after his death, and reigns over Hyrule today with his beloved. The Sheikah crowned him King Sovereign before Calamity Ganon was sealed for good, as the throne would pass to whichever of King Rhoam's heirs/relatives was found alive first. Called "Grandpa" (sometimes written "Grandpaw") by his extended family. Has developed blindness in one eye as well as joint pain, two common signs of a Wolfbred's aging, and is technically retired from all soldiering.

Zelda (Esmerelda) Hyrule: The first Hylian to marry into the tribe in 10,000 years due to the exile, and mother of Hyrule's first (chronologically-speaking) Wolfbred-Hylian hybrid: Zelda Ivee. Said to be the only true Hylian who could speak the Wolfbred tongue fluently before the Calamity. The Sheikah's crowning of Link restarted the Kingdom of Hyrule, so this Princess hasn't seen a need to rush her ascension to the Queen's throne. Her temper was found to be of Wolfbred descent, as she is Karu’s descendant. A beloved teacher at the newly build Hateno Schoolhouse.

Zelda Ivee Hyrule: King Link and Princess Zelda’s beloved little girl and the new Princess Zelda. She is the first Wolfbred hybrid since her distant ancestor Karu, and her soul is over a century old despite her age of five. Her upbringing will likely shape the future of Hyrule, as her parents come from such different backgrounds. Current studies regarding her aim to identify whatever might trigger the aggressive tendencies her family tree is infamous for, so her exposure to such triggers can be limited. 

Reede Imperial: Leader of Hateno Village and descendant of Sydnei (Link's sister). He retains a strong desire to stay in tune with his heritage and prides himself on keeping Hateno just the way it was during the exile: a safe haven for the Wolfbred. He inherited the antagonistic tendencies of his family. Although he is generally a very peaceful, vegetable-loving man, he has recently begun to display aggressive behavior, and has gotten in a few fights. (Now that the villagers think about it, so has Link.)

Clavia Imperial: Reede's wife and the mother of Karin. Clavia is Hylian, but has been accepted into the Clan as if she was Wolfbred. While her daughter is in school, she spends time at Link and Zelda's, often helping tidy the place so the half-blind Link can keep his last good eye on his pup. Besides, she believes it does Link good to have someone other than Zelda to talk to.

Karin Imperial: Reede and Clavia's daughter, and a pupil of Zelda's. Currently, Karin is not affected by her family's tendencies. Purah aims to prevent exposing both her and Zelda Ivee to whatever causes those tendencies to develop. Although, considering how riled up their fathers have suddenly gotten, Purah and her fellow researchers may have to work fast to identify the cause and isolate it from the girls.

Sophie and Cece: A pair of Wolfbred-Hylian sisters. Cece is eldest. Their existence greatly influences modern Wolfbred-Hylian relations as Sophie is considered legally Wolfbred, while Cece is the first hybrid to not be legally Wolfbred, at least within the village. Surprisingly, Sophie is the more docile of the two. Cece recently moved back in after traveling the world to study fashion. Village opinions are mixed. Link and Sophie are friends. Link and Cece are not.

Ivee: Daughter of the family who runs East Wind General Store. It's rumored that she was actually named after Zelda Ivee, as Hateno thought she'd been killed in-utero during the Great Calamity.

Pruce, Amira and Azu: Family of Ivee, runs East Wind. Ancestor was a dear friend of Ordon, which strengthens the rumors about the origins of Ivee's name. Father, mother and younger brother, respectively. Azu has taken fondly to "protecting" the village, a tendency that often develops in Wolfbred males as they approach and reach puberty.

Tamana: A former Cucco rancher, and Teebo's mother.

Teebo: A very polite Wolfbred pup and Tamana's son. Has shown an immense interest in weapons and the warrior arts since he was very young, and now fills a slot on the day-shift Hateno guard. His apparently innate interest in warrior arts and protection have brought him and Link into a mentor-mentee relationship.

Medda: A tomato-raising farmer, and Aster's father. His wife passed many years ago, but he and his daughter seem to be doing well.

Aster: Medda's daughter. Loves tomatos and froggies, and recently moved next door to Link and Zelda.

Dantz, Koyin: A family of Wolfbred who live outside the town on a farm in the forest, completely devoted to the ways of their ancestors. Father and daughter, respectively.

Sayge, Senna and Sefaro: Family running the Kochi Dye Shop. Sayge and Senna are devoted artisans, who are thriving with Hateno's new textile based market. Sefaro, however, is a much more studious soul who prefers to read history books at the schoolhouse. He's tried to badger Link into teaching him more sensitive history like the Great Calamity, Wolfbred Exile and Sheikah Fallout; currently to little-to-no avail. Perhaps when the little historian is older... or when other tensions in the village smooth over....

Prima: Said to be the prettiest Wolfbred after Midna Marie. May be related to Linky due to the strong facial resemblance to his mother, but is clearly not of the Imperial family.

Worten: Prima's husband. A Wolfbred-Hylian hybrid like his wife, which was seen as a milestone for the species (as hybrids had become distant enough to interbreed again)

Uma: An elderly Wolfbred-Hylian. One of the first hybrids to be born, and has lived since the Age of Burning Fields. Full of knowledge about the village and its history, with a priceless ability to see multiple perspectives for almost any conflict in the village. She usually attempts to soothe Link and Reede when they are riled, often with more success than their wives.

Hyrule's Final Stand Masterlist

[lifesver]

keep also thinking about a particularly fucked scene of leland getting tossed in a freezer w body parts already in it, waking up and just fucking freaking out, hyperventilating, slamming at the lid trying to get out. when he does get out there just being , bodies wrapped in plastic, freezer burned staring at him from the walls of the cold room. forcing himself to get up, think about his friends. anyway he gets really claustrophobic after that and a lot of his nightmares later are about the cold room.

[wyverndreamers]

seeing some people begin to fully describe early mcd season 1 garroth as an asshole, and it's making me so,, emo, not to say he's some ray of sunshine but i don't think he was an asshole considering the circumstances he was in?? you could argue the asshole-ness comes from garroth giving aphmau a lot of tasks with the village and entrusting her with a lot of stuff, but that interpretation directly ignores that aphmau walked into this village and saw their situation and went "i'm going to fix you and MAYBE take you over" this is a pre- donna/logan wedding post btw but idk HOP OFF MY GOAT and the matilda thing uhh i dunno cheaters never prosper and garroth you probably WERE the other woman fix urself before u wreck urself
