#I like to think they managed to steal a little more time together like Mipha had wanted

Stealing/ Affection: Link steals some time with Mipha after his death, and before his spirit rejoins his body in the shrine of resurrection.

#there was going to be a lot more of this but the general theme of this week is I had no time 😅 #and before his spirit rejoins his body in the shrine. #the idea that he coaxed her spirit out of her body one she was killed is a sweet one I think - maybe her spirit couldn't let go because she #wasn't able to admit defeat or she was trying to hold on so she could keep fighting or to see her father and Sidon and link one more time #but she was already dead and had no more strength to heal herself so link helps her 'cross over' as it were but is stopped halfway throug #? i guess because of the shrine. anyway it's not in Link's nature to leave his friends behind so I guess spirit link realised his fiancée a #d friends needed help (think the poe in ToTK) because the blights were holding them captive so he tries to help even though they've lost an #are all dead #because he's a hero and that's what he does #(and also he loves his fish and could never leave her when she needed help) #anyway some miphlink angst for y'all #but also hurt/comfort #because they both deserve it #I like to think they managed to steal a little more time together like Mipha had wanted #miphlinkweek2023 #miphlinkweek #miphlink #botw #mipha #link #ghosts #creativesplat draws #breath of the wild

15 Questions 15 Mutuals

I was tagged by @runawaymun, thanks for tagging me! This’ll be a good way to pass some time :D

Rules: answer the questions and tag fifteen mutuals

1. Are you named after anyone?

One of the biblical angels, yes. I’m not a great fan of my name, but I don’t feel strongly enough about it to want to change it when it’d impact my family and whatnot. As far Valasania, that comes from Tolkien’s Valar. Singular Valar is Vala, sania was my addition to turn it into something that sounded like a proper name for a fantasy elf I was making for an MMORPG lol.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Evening before last I finished re-reading Sansukh and shed a fair few tears for the ending.Unfortunately, I am currently sick (and was at the time) so it wasn’t as cathartic as I’d have desired, just felt unpleasant and stuffy.

3. Do you have kids?

No, and I probably won’t ever, unless tragedy strikes my family or very life-changing epiphanies steal upon me. 

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Yes, though less than I used to. I used to have the best deadpan expression on command, but it came at the cost of my affect a lot of the time, so I think I’ve found a nice balance.

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Generally a voice will strike me first - it kinda depends on whether it’s online or in person. A voice, and how people talk, is a good window for me to get to know them better without asking, necessarily.

6. What's your eye colour?

blue.

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings. I get that some movies aren’t meant to end happy, but if I just finish feeling wretched with no caveat, it’s just unpleasant.

8. Any special talents?

Writing I’d say for one, I can do a decent job at voices, I’ve got a keen mind for history and the like, and I judge speech and debate tournaments where I can. I also edit prose for a few close friends.

9. Where were you born?

Pacific Northwest.

10. What are your hobbies?

Writing where I can manage it, reading, videos games (primarily RPGs, but I also play a fair bit of Grand Strategy like Stellaris or Civ V, or MMORPGs like EVE Online or FFXIV. Currently playing Elder Scrolls Online). I’ve taken up DnD in the last two years, and have been DM’ing a few duets with friends as well. I’m looking forward to getting to run a larger campaign sometime in the future, but as of right now I haven’t gotten the group together.

11. Have you any pets?

Just my cat, Mipha! She’s a cuddly little gremlin, but she’s mine.

12. What sports do you play/have played?

I did some baseball as a child, but stopped pretty early, then took up martial arts for several years. I had to quit for the sake of my mental health in 5th grade. Getting moved to a ‘gifted’ school was really bad for me, probably did more harm than good. I was one belt away from my black belt, and I’ll never not resent how it ended, or that afterwards I heard that my instructors bad mouthed me to my peers. These days I try to get in regular walks where I can. If you count it as a sport, I judge speech and debate, and I’m active in that scene locally.

13. How tall are you?

5′10″, or, tall enough to not feel insecure, but too short to look any of my male friends in high school in the eye lol.

14. Favorite subject in school?

History and English. I wish I’d have gotten a proper Anthropology course in high school, it might’ve changed my trajectory in life, but I did eventually find myself in an Anthropology of Gender class at uni that was the best class I’ve had in my life.

15. Dream job?

A writer comfortable enough to not have to worry about money, getting to indulge in my hobbies as I like. I’m a teacher now, which is a good place to be, but it’s not where I want to be for forever. I’m not nearly consistent enough in writing to rely on it for income.
