#you are in HIS element

[hirudou]

            @rimefiles asked:    finally  finding  himself  before  a  safe  jump,  the  hunter  steeled  himself  with  resolute  determination,  imbuing  his  being  with  the  fortitude  necessary  to  accomplish  his  goal.  with  a  flick  of  his  wrist,  he  raised  the  potion  to  his  lips,  downing  it  with  a  mixture  of  apprehension  and  hope.  though  the  potion  allowed  him  to  breathe  underwater,  it  was  not  without  consequence.  the  aftertaste,  bitter  and  pungent,  made  him  tremble  with  an  unknown  feeling,  as  though  he  had  been  transported  to  a  different  plane  of  existence.  however,  he  refused  to  be  deterred,  taking  solace  in  the  fact  that  he  could  now  explore  the  depths  of  the  ocean  with  ease,  without  having  to  rely  on  the  cumbersome  tools  of  fishing.

⠀⠀⠀as  he  delved  deeper  into  the  murky  waters,  his  senses  were  heightened  and  he  felt  an  increasing  sense  of  unease.  was  it  the  noxious  aftertaste  of  the  potion  intensifying,  or  was  there  something  else  lurking  in  the  shadows  underwater?

        for  all  the  intelligence  rook  seemed  to  possess--  he  wasn't  very  clever  was  he?  he's  a  skilled  hunter  on  land,  even  jade  can  acknowledge  his  prowess.  quick  and  adaptable  to  most  situations,  thorough  and  exact.  but  this  is  another  world  entirely.  being  able  to  breathe  here  is  one  meager  step,  like  putting  on  the  appropriate  shoes  before  leaving  your  house.  surely  he  knew  the  same  skillset  would  do  him  little  good  here  right?  subtlety?  stealth?  rook  was,  for  lack  of  a  better  phrase---  

a  fish  out  of  water.  

  jade  already  had  an  inkling  on  what  he  intended  to  do.  and  was  deeply  satisfied,  when  he  felt  the  displacement  of  water.  watching  from  some  distance,  as  the  hunter  took  the  plunge.  slowly  sinking  himself,  before  effortlessly  gliding  closer  to  where  he  knew  he'd  find  him.

  what  should  he  do  hm?  no  potion  lasts  forever--  even  azul's  have  an  expiration.  jade  could  drown  him,  keep  him  there  at  the  bottom,  and  chatter  away  what  time  he  has.  maybe  he'll  drag  him  deeper,  let  water  pressure  do  all  the  work.  or,  simply  enough,  he  could  just  eat  him.  he  wont  do  any  of  this  actually,  explaining  his  disappearance  would  make  the  amusement  he  derives  from  it---  worthless.

  instead  he  waits,  just  out  of  sight,  for  him  to  land  on  the  sea  bed.  there's  an  incline  to  it--  implying  it  goes  further,  deeper.  rook  peers  around  as  best  he  can.  it's  dark  down  here,  the  light  faint  enough  that  he  just  misses  where  jade  is  slowly  swimming  by.  like  a  hawk  circling  a  mouse  in  the  brush.  it's  only  when  rook  seems  confident  enough  to  continue  that  he  closes  the  distance.  tail  curling  into  view,  around  him  in  a  loose  circle.  his  face  tilting  close  to  the  other,  an  uncanny  glow  to  his  left  eye.  

  when  he  speaks(  quite  suddenly  ),  his  voice  sounds  a  bit  distorted,  but  mostly  the  same."  fancy  yourself  a  fisherman  now?  "  coiling  close  enough,  that  the  length  of  jade's  body  knocks  against  his  back.  "  hahaha!  with  these?  "  swimming  low,  reaching  out  with  webbed  hands  to  tug  at  his  legs.  forcing  rook  to  fall  backwards  on  the  eel's  heavy  tail  for  support.  weight  is  different  here,  gravity--  strangely  heavy  and  too  light  at  the  same  time.

  "  you're  lucky  it  was  me  who  found  you.  "  coiling  more  firmly  around  his  fellow  classmate  now.  giving  his  cheek  a  pinch,  and  and a 'reassuring' smile,  all  teeth.  "  anything  else  and  you  might  of  been  fish  food.  "

Okay but it's super interesting how

Din = Power = Ganondorf

Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda

Farore = Courage = Link.

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

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

And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.

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

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

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

They sit in perfect parallels to each other.

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

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

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

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

But the other direction?

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

And that's the very essence of the triforce.

They both find each other interesting like anatomy wise, drastically different, some “lemme examine you 🤓☝️”

Goro Akechi is for the girls and the gays because he perfectly encapsulates the clinical insanity of being a teenage girl going through puberty. The underhanded compliments? The threats so subtle no one can actually complain? The pleasant composure hiding feral gremlin rage? Simultaneously admiring and envying your gay crush? He's like if Regina George could kill people

Thinking about marriage/women's rights on Vulcan Some may think that T'Pring not being allowed to divorce Spock was because he was going through the pon farr but if she were allowed to divorce him at all she probably would have done that a long time ago, confirmed by T'Pol when she's speaking with Koss, who isn't suffering from the pon farr. She says that he can choose another mate (without invoking a fight it seems: note the difference between a 'mate' and a 'challenger') and after he makes it clear that nothing she says will change his mind about marrying her, she finally threatens to declare a kal-if-fee. It's clear that Vulcan women cannot divorce/refuse to marry a man they've been betrothed to under any circumstances if A) He himself doesn't consent to ending their marriage or B) She doesn't have someone else waiting in the wings to be given to in his stead. Though, if the challenger she selects fails to win the fight, she'll have to marry her betrothed anyway unless (again) he decides he doesn't want her after the challenge. That seems like an incredibly unfair system, heavily biased towards men. SNW is an alternate universe in many obvious respects but most egregiously in that T'Pring has a lot of non-canonical agency over her relationship with Spock. It's interesting to me that Vulcan society has women in many positions of power and treats women as equal to men from what I've seen despite these laws. We don't really see Vulcans exhibiting a misogynistic attitude towards women in general but in TOS (perhaps because of its general writing style but it's still interesting to note) both Sarek and Spock take on patriarchal attitudes specifically regarding wives. Amanda says that 'of course' Sarek commands her because "he is a Vulcan and I am his wife." It's worthwhile in my eyes to note that she specifies 'wife' instead of attributing this attitude to women as a whole. Again, with TOS' writing style it wouldn't be out of place for her to say "he is a man and I am a woman." Spock, while in a pon farr induced irritation, states that it's "undignified for a woman to play servant to a man that isn't hers" - again implying that there's something specific about being a Wife in Vulcan society which is different from being a woman in general and demands subservience to a husband. This could perhaps stem from the extreme sense of ownership that Vulcan law has permitted men to have over women. A woman legally cannot point blank refuse marriage. There is no option which guarantees she won't have to marry her betrothed other than death. When T'Pau speaks of T'Pring she refers to her as being 'property' and Stonn, before being interrupted, states he's made 'the ancient claim' - we don't know what this is because he gets cut off but it's obvious they're both using the language of Vulcan law. Men are permitted true freedom to choose. If a woman wants to choose someone else to be with there is no option available to her other than the kal-if-fee which might result in the death of the one she wants to be with. And, if her lover fails, her husband can still just decide he wants to marry her and she'll be forced to. T'Pring gives two scenarios: One where Spock 'frees' her and one where he doesn't - it's still ultimately his decision which is clear when he ends the conversation with "Stonn, she is yours." This again isn't just because of the pon farr as T'Pol also goes through this. Koss can choose another mate and when the option is talked about there's no implication that this would result in any sort of fight (both by the casualness of its mention and by the fact that there's no formal word for it unlike the kal-if-fee.) Also, the fact that Koss does eventually grant T'Pol a divorce and it's all fine means that T'Pol isn't lawfully required to have another man waiting if her HUSBAND doesn't want her. It's ONLY required if SHE doesn't want her husband. Tradition must take precedence over individual desire UNLESS!!! You're a man. Then it's fine. Like, your parents might not be happy but legally you're golden.

Danny Phantom was not used to fighting magic users. Ghosts, yes. But humans with powers? No.

So when a cult managed to successfully summon and bind him, he lacked the knowledge of how to stop them.

And they tore him apart.

His core was broken into pieces, each one then implanted into one of the most loyal cult members (or potentially sold off to another person to use…) to grant them a portion of Phantom’s many powers.

However, the cult didn’t entirely know what they were doing either. You see, it turns out that shattering Danny’s core in that manner didn’t truly end him. His soul still persisted, still refused to die even as it was trapped amongst the disparate shards. Though each individual piece lacked the strength of mind or power to affect their hosts, they would gradually forge themselves together anew should they ever be gathered back together.

And after Red Hood killed several of the cult’s members, that process began. Their shards, now freed, transferred to the vigilante, instinctively latching onto his proto-core. Though still not yet whole enough to form a truly conscious fragment of Danny, they are enough to start to nudge Hood in the right direction (bolstered in effectiveness by Jason’s connection to death)

Jason can feel it deep within his soul. There’s something more to this cult’s powers than just normal magic, and he has a growing need to find out what that is. To stop them. To burn them all down and dig their secrets from the ashes.
