Fascinated by the results of the poll.

Hateno, Chief, & Ordon won. Thinking I'll do a clothing swap for them in honour of their respective wins.

Four, I'm gonna do a split pic of the colours and Shadow, because clearly I haven't given him enough attention. I do have a WIP on the go with Shadow's POV, so we'll see which gets done first.

Everyone else... Well, if you wanna reblog this with your favourite(s) and some requests, I'll see what I can get done?

Thanks to all of you who voted! I am shocked it got as many votes as it did, and it was really pleasing to see!

* “go-to” doesn’t mean “only”! there’s a bunch of situational signoffs I haven’t put here, this is more about what you use by default

#sanders pollshit #mine is ‘au revior’#technically translates to ‘until we meet again’ but is also so intrinsically linked to melodramatic french romance films that all my emails #read just a bit like I’m trying to seduce somebody #which to be clear is my goal #my job is being silly so I can afford to get a little silly with it

"Long lost memories are hidden behind his dreams. Memories that part of him wants to bring to the waking world, but sometimes squeeze him too tightly. And while I can't help him remember them, the least I can do is loosen their grip."

Twilight knows Wild's dreams are sometimes troubled. Animals pick up on these things. So on nights when he's awake and he hears the boy whimper, the partial weight of a furry body and a head to pet soothes Wild's scattered soul.

I was inspired by a certain movie scene to draw this a year ago. Twilight is in my opinion the heart of the group. Should another of his kin be suffering, he does anything he can to help. Emotional support wolf included.

Forgive me if the words read a bit odd. Writing isn't my strongest talent and I'm tired.

Don't tag as LU, please.

hey has anyone else noticed that totk looks a lot like princess mononoke sometinms (<- guy who has never had an original thought)

#loz totk #zelda #ganondorf #tloz fanart #tears of the kingdom #tloz crossover #tloz au #i drew this back before i got very far in totk and i was convinced that the zonai would turn out to be dragons somehow #which wouldve made the game 150% cooler #i imagine eboshidorf would be kinda windwaker-esque #more like. reserved and genteel than totk dorf #trying to make a better life for his people but willing to kill gods and destroy the world to do it #meanwhile zelda lives in the forest and was raised by the gods (zonai)#and she meets link when he leaves his home village to find a cure for the gloom that is sapping everyone's health and nearly killed him #do you see my vision #my art

I wonder... does this blog have enough reach in the fandom that we could try and finally put a stop to people tagging unrelated AUs as LU.

The correct term to use is "Links meet AU" and the reason the mistagging hurts is because:

A) It dismisses the creativity of the work. Its a lot like saying someone's original character looks like a fictional character you know. It may be a small unintended insult but it can be demoralising and make them not wish to share their art anymore.

B) It connects all AUs of this type to Jojo, the creator of LU. That comic was not the first links meet au by a long shot. YES her work inspired many of us to start our own imagines of the same base concept, but that does not make them Linked Universe. It's like claiming someone inspired by spider-man deciding to explore the superhero genre is just making more spider-man.

Yes this may be a small issue, but I've been working on this webcomic since 2020 and still get those demoralising tags. I've been silently baring it long enough. Even worse is seeing how it hurts fellow creators in the fandom.

I don't like asking this but... Please spread this post and if you'd like: add your own experiences below. Maybe we can change things around here.

#This feels like such a small thing to be annoyed by in times like these #But you gotta focus on the things you can affect and not drown in what you can't #Or smth #Linked Universe #The Legend of Zelda #Loz #Links meet AU

If It Can Die, I Can Kill It

From my Feral Prompts, for @recalled11 Legend

Also on AO3, about 1200 words. Rated G, some injuries.

IIII

Feral 10: “If it can die, I can kill it” = Recalled Legend @ a Gleeok

Link could tell there was something more than just a storm under the cloud. He’d seen the flash, even if the thunder had been muted: it hadn’t been very strong, whatever it was, but it’d come soon after. Too soon. Ravio – seated between Malon and Fairy behind him – was watching him pace but not doing anything, not yet.

He wasn’t trying to worry him; he was fine. It was far away.

It was some-thing and it was moving.

When he turned at the next pace, Wild was there in his way, almost close enough he hit him. He restrained the urge – Wild was a bad choice to pick a fight with – and smiled unpleasantly instead. He waved one hand at the thing on the edge of their view.

“What is that, anyways?”

The other man had to spell it, six letters -- gleeok, then added, “It’s a thunder one, they’re not that hard.”

“It’s in our way.” He could tell that much already. They were on a road and that fucking thing was not that far off; they’d be getting closer to it every step of the way.

Wild nodded, and Link wasn’t fucking doing that.

“If its not that hard, we can kill it.”

Wild simply tilted his head and smiled. He gestured that way once more – almost as if to say, after you – and Link bared his teeth. “Can that flying thing of yours carry two?”

It could, and it did.

The gleeok noticed them in the sky. It took exception, as only a giant beast like it could. It was a massive kind of lizard, with three heads each with a fat, bulging eye under its shimmering gold horns. Wild kept moving even as one of the heads opened its mouth and spat a flash of lightning at them. Link’s heart nearly stopped in his chest, but Wild’s flying thing kept ahead with seeming ease. Link knelt and tucked a leg around Wild’s and over the standing platform to pull his bow from a ring.

There was always a target if something had eyes. Link clung to the machine with his legs and aimed.

His first arrow missed; his second, the dragon had snapped its wings forward and threw off the arrow’s aim; it grazed a different head than intended.

“Fuck it all, turn around!” Link snapped.

Wild tried. The flying machine did not turn quickly or easily, and Link dropped one hand to brace himself on the platform, trying not to knock Wild’s footing free with his awkward positioning himself. The turn meant he was facing the wrong way to aim easily again, and he twisted to aim back the way he came.

He turned, just in time to see it bunch in place and lunge.

“Wild!”

The machine’s engine cut. The fan under him went silent and they dropped from the air like a stone for a frozen second before it snapped back alive. The lizard’s gaping mouths went over their heads; the ground rushed up below and as the flying machine caught the air and slowed their fall again, a spear of lightning slammed into the front.

Green stone burst into nothing under his hands. Wild was thrown backwards, breaking his bow and tumbling into freefall, and Link hit the ground and rolled. His magic could take the teeth out of the fall, but he still came to, dazed and sore, several dozen feet away from the pieces of his bow.

Wild wasn’t in sight. Link’s throat choked, and he looked frantically for the other man. “Wild!”

He saw green, like his tunic, somewhere far – far too far away. How far had he been thrown? It wasn’t moving.

The air was thick with static, and green as soup and the gleeok slowly settled back on the high pillar of stone from which it had watched them before. It’s horns glittered with lightning.

Link licked his lips and checked the dot that was maybe Wild again. Far enough away.

Let’s see how this thing liked losings its footing too.

Quake was easy; the ground cracked and shivered, crumbling under the dragon’s claws. He tried to stand as the spell took, and realized his leg (the leg that had been between Wild’s feet on the flying machine...) was broken. He cursed at it and twisted it back into place before he drank a health potion to stop the screaming pain. As the gleeok staggered and collapsed in full, he stood and stalked to meet it. He didn’t need a bow; healed, he pulled his sword, snapping off three quick cuts.

Three beams, to each eye.

The creature slammed to the ground, stunned, and Link looked again at the still green.

Was that far enough away? Did he trust it?

The gleeok started to stir, and he realized he didn’t have much choice. This fight had to end now. (He was so damn tired of the constant storm, ever crackle in the air put his teeth grinding...)

But he had other spells, two more copper tokens. He wasn’t going to waste his time testing lightning against lightning: Fire rained harder than lightning ever could.

He put out each eye personally after that, before he dared walk away. Certain of its death, the stillness in the spot of green left him filled with terror greater than the dark skies could bring. As he came closer, and more sure it was Wild he ran to other man’s side.

When he arrived, he could see Wild had woken at least. The other man’s eyes rolled in his head, one hand dug into the dirt. The left eye – the damaged one – was shining, flashing brilliant blue light as he made a face before focusing on Legend. He half-smiled then and raised one arm, offering it to him.

Link took his hand, confused and watched him wince. Immediately he checked the forearm – fine – then upper arm – broken.

“You want me to set it?”

Wild nodded.

Easy enough. He could do it, although Wild hissed out something that could’ve been a swear. Seconds later, he grunted, his eye flashed, and he put weight on the arm and sat up. As he pulled himself together to stand, Link watched with morbid fascination. Every time he had to hesitate, that blue eye glowed again and he crouched himself.

“Are you just healing yourself as you go?”

Wild didn’t even look at him to nod.

“Sometimes I really wish I could do that.”

Wild paused, partway through checking his legs and looked at him. It was one of the darkest expressions he’d ever seen from the man – not the wild panic he sometimes showed around certain monsters, or determination. It was more like grief, and Link regretted saying that aloud.

He didn’t say anything else, but Link didn’t think he had to. It was plain as day what it meant.

‘No. You don’t.’

Link stood and looked back towards their camp. As he had expected, once his head cleared, he could already see a dark speck running and walking their way with two others behind. He sighed. Ravio was going to have so many words for him...

“Hey Wild, if its Ravio and Flower coming, who do you think is the third about to chew us out: Twilight or Captain?”

Bonus art:

This man absolutely did not set his own leg ten minutes ago, what are you talking about.

[Original base by @hiveswap, found here]

That Broken Promise boys (plus a few extras), ranked by "How traumatized are they?" and "Do they realize and/or admit it?"

More detailed rambling under the cut

Ordon, Minish, Fifi (First Four), and Outset do not, and never had PTSD although they certainly have had traumatizing things happen to them. However, they were all in positions and with support systems where it didn't linger, hence them being pretty fringe because, well. "Coping well" is part of how you avoid that.

Calum is Age of Calamity Link, which I treat as a timeline split that happened during the First Calamity (whose Link is Melem, from my fic Prince of Hyrule. It is technically canon to this series but, well. If you've read the fic, you know why he's not likely to show up.)

Prince had PTSD, and definitely has some lingering symptoms but at this point he's pretty well recovered from it, same as Rabbit. Skyloft, Ravio and Four are about as recovered as their circumstances allow.

If y'all have questions about anyone else, just lemme know! Calum has a fic I'll be doing at some point, but life hit me like a ton of bricks this week.
