hey guys. hyperspecific poll time.

#music taste. i listen to music from the forties/fifties #and while they don’t call me it to my face my friends all know me as the star wars and zelda guy #specifically the clones guy

I HAD THIS EXACT SAME THOUGHT

Crazy Ass Zelda theory thought bubble but hear me out,

Lorule and Termina are the same place,

But different outcomes in the same timeline parallel of Hyrule.

-Both have a fascination with masks, with the Mask cult in Lorule, and the Whole gimmick of Termina’s items

-They have Hylian counterparts with more bombastic personalities,

-Both lack a legend of a hero, only endless conflicts with Lorule and Ikana vs Garo in Termina.

YOU ARE RIGHT MY FRIEND

I AM ALSO HAPPY TO INFORM YOU THAT THERE IS A SEQUEL

The steel of the knife had been cold, so so very cold, and so had the ointment and bandages the medics had (almost mechanically) slathered onto his face; the cot in the hospital-tent was about as inviting as a rock, and all the blankets had long ago been torn into extra bandages- and the even though it was summer, Lanayru Province was so far north that the nights still bit at those wearing nothing but thin, blood-soaked nightclothes.

But then there was she- she who had wrenched the blade from his trembling, blood-slick hands, she who had held those hands as the medics treated his mangled face, she who had sat by his side the whole frigid night in the lonely medical tent- and when he had weakly asked how she had known how far he was falling, she could only respond with a quiet I just knew.

It was the warmest he had felt the entire war.

OKAY OKAY SO I can't really find a way to end this BUT

I have been working on this fic for literal months. And I think I am finally able to share it with the world. It's still a work in progress, but I am happy with how it is turning out, I just have to finish the ending.

A few words before I get into it, and PLEASE read this carefully, because this fic does deal with some topics that may be sensitive for some readers.

Basically, it deals with how Paladin- Hyrule Warriors Link- got his facial scars. If you've ever seen a picture of him that I've drawn, you'll notice that the left side of his face is covered in scars.

Well, this is the idea I've had bouncing around for like. A year (oh my gosh have I been zelda obsessed for that long already?) and anyway here it is!

TRIGGER WARNINGS- Self Harm, Blood

It’s a silent summer night when he finally snaps.

It’s been weeks in the coming, silently encroaching upon him like a lizalfos stalking its prey. The knowledge that he is the cause of this war- he and his perfect handsome face. It’s been eating him up inside since that night in the Valley of Seers.

And now it’s everywhere.

The distrustful glares of his soldiers. The outright hateful ones of orphaned, widowed, dispossessed citizens.

Most of all, the cold, silent, expressionless gazes of the dead.

Hadrian died today. Hadrian, his best friend since childhood, his only remaining friend from before the war. One of the few who ever stood up for him when the other soldiers picked on him (in the early days) and when they dragged his name and his title through the mud (more recently). His only true defender. 

And now he is gone.

He doesn’t remember unsheathing his knife- Hadrian’s gift, the only gift he’d gotten when he became Captain Link. All he knows is the blank, lifeless stare from the steel-blue eyes peering up at him from the reflection in the blade. He disgusts himself. He hates his face.

He hates his eyes. (The tears begin to fall.) His perfect, handsome eyes. And he hates the perfect handsome eyebrows that shade them. He hates his forehead, his cheekbones, his strong chin and flaxen hair. (Your fault your fault your fault) He hates his shoulders and his chest, his alabaster limbs and his strong, slender fingers. (His shoulder shake with anguished sobs and the only thought that registers is Your Fault He’s Dead)

But most of all he hates his face. 

His perfect, handsome, horrible face. 

The face that killed Hadrian.

And then the knife is flashing in the dark, gleaming steel slicing through the flawless skin of the face he hates so much. Scarlet blood and tormented tears mingle as they pour down off his face and stain his night shirt crimson. Every slash of the blade is more painful and bitingly cold than the last but he can’t stop. He can’t stop. He can’t stop--

He didn’t see the tent flap open and he didn’t hear the gasp of horror mixed with something like concern. The thing that brings him back is the sensation of warm firm hands wrenching the knife out of his grasp and hurling it across the tent. And then they cup his face and he looks up, and it’s her. 

Because of course it is. 

It’s dark and his tent has no windows, but even in the darkest caverns of the Pits of Demise, he’d be able to make out her face. It’s twisted, so horribly twisted, by sympathy and pain and anger not directed at him- never directed at him, only at what could possibly hurt him this much. Her hand cups the left side of his face- the side he ruined- to inspect the damage, and as she pulls it away to take a better look they both notice it’s absolutely stained with ruby-hued liquid. 

What have you done, is what is etched into her face, but not in the accusatory tones of his men. No, her question is much softer, much gentler, not so much a demand as a petition. 

He’s never had a proper conversation with her. He’s met her eyes a total of three times prior to this encounter. She’s his superior. She’s his Queen. 

But she’s kneeling on the floor of his tent, and her hand is again resting on his mangled cheek, and all remaining decorum is completely tossed aside as he gives in to her touch and collapses into her arms.

Neither of them know how long they kneel there together, she stroking his hair as he weeps into her shoulder, his blood wrecking his shirt and her nightgown and seeping into both of their hair and getting all over their hands.

In the end, it doesn’t matter.

the awesome meme strikes back 

(with colors!) 

#KENOBIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAUUUUGGHHHHH #star wars #darth maul is a drama queen

[margindoodles2407]

#i think about this every day #star wars #anakin eats live bugs

[margindoodles2407]

Obi-Wan is a penniless monk. So was Anakin until he married rich.

i know it’s super insignificant but i’ve always wondered about the “we’ll pay you the rest when we reach alderaan” part because did obi-wan really have this much money stashed away or was he just planning to go “hello bail, old friend, nice to see you again, it’s been years, pay for my cab please?”

#sorry i have been waiting for the opportunity to use this #star wars

[margindoodles2407]

*raises hand*

Who else here loves Luke skywalker

#me #star wars

[margindoodles2407]

Oh my gosh, so I just saw the new Star Wars movie, and you’re not going to believe what happened?? Han cut open a snow camel and put Luke inside, lol, that was pretty wild, and then that part where LEIA KISSED LUKE, WOW (but then throughout the rest of the movie she and Han were flirting the whole time so I think HanLeia might be canon now, guys). Oh and there was this new character, this weird frog guy, named Yoda, who talks backwards, also Lando who wears a cool cape (I’m really glad to see a POC character in Star Wars finally)—BUT OH MY GOSH, THE BEST PART, THE HUGE REVEAL,,, DARTH VADER IS ACTUALLY LEGIT LUKE’S FATHER??? (Or maybe he was trolling, not really sure??? ANYWAY, I am SHOOK, poor Luke has been looking up to his father ALL THIS TIME and for Vader to say that he’s Luke’s dad?? WOW) and he cut off Luke’s hand but then Luke got a new one—AND ALSO HAN GETS FROZEN?? aWFUL?? he did not DESERVE?? and Threepio was kind of annoying, whatever… but the ending scene with Luke and Leia looking out the window into space, I die!! Honestly I never really shipped them; I feel like they kinda have more of a sibling relationship, but yeah…can’t wait to see how the last film of the trilogy rolls out :)

#what i would not have given to have lived in the early eighties and see this magnificent film in all its glory on release day #star wars

[margindoodles2407]

me, someone who never expected darth vader to say a pun ever: darth vader would never say a pun ever

darth vader in rogue one: 

#these are the people that forget that darth vader is anakin skywalker #star wars

[margindoodles2407]

Best of DARTH VADER #25, Vader thinking about his son joining him. ;-;

#wait no stop please my heart can't take this #star wars

[margindoodles2407]

Does Force ghost Hayden-looking Anakin actually behave like younger ROTS Anakin (minus the angst)? Or does Force ghost Anakin act like older redeemed Anakin at the end of ROTJ? Does he still speak with elevated-Vader-diction? Should I just be imagining a tired fifty-year-old post-Vader Anakin speaking out of the body of a sexy twenty-five-year-old Anakin?

#i never even considered this but now it is canon #star wars

[margindoodles2407]

you were wrong. I found this funny

1 Samuel 15

saul, lying: i killed them. i killed them all. they're dead, every single one of them. and not just the men, but the women and the children, too. they're like animals, and i slaughtered them like animals. i also slaughtered the animals
