illadvisedly been reading LU fic again and boy has the fic scene only gotten weirder about the leader thing
#the core conceit is that these are all singularly competent and accomplished heroes
#awkwardly forced to work together and collaborate
#the whole idea that time is ~ obviously the leader ~ is such boring nonsense
#like Yeah i can see why it would shake out that way in the comic but in these fics people straight up take it as far as time outright orderi
#ordering people around and being honestly mean. and it’s written off as ‘well obviously they’d all listen to him’
#and like. okay for 1) with the exclusion of four all of these guys did their adventures independently. ft. fun sidekicks sure but they are
#incredibly skilled individual fighters and experienced travelers
#2) uh. nothing about time other than him arbitrarily being the oldest (bc jojo thought it would be more interesting - he never appears at
#this age in canon) would make him an inherently better leader. he isn’t even the most experienced out of any of them
#NOTORIOUSLY the hero of time is one of the youngest and wrapped up his heroism by the age of 12
#if anything either warriors or four would be the best to formally lead (literal military captain and Guy Who’s Whole Adventure Was About
#Teamwork). and 3) i don’t even really care about any of 2 i just think they don’t NEED a single leader like this much less that they would
#pick one. they’re all stubborn little shits. they’ve got there little cliches and generally all like each other but fundamentally links are
#just. not the type to fall in line in a hierarchy.
#the best take on the leader problem in fic is usually ‘yeah whoever’s world this is is in charge to get us somewhere safe 👍’ and like
#group consensus. i Get the level of respect time gets as ‘leader’ in the comic but fic wayyyyy over extends it (as a result of the scope
#being bonkers bigger) but sincerely i think it’s incredibly stupid and ooc to write them as falling in line behind a Single Guy regardless
#of which guy it is. and let’s be real it’s only time bc ocarina of time is the single most influential zelda game
#idk. jay’s LUposting while halfway through an assignment again 👍
#text✨
#admittedly yes you do need someone to make Final Decisions on things. that is not the way most fics write time though
#(to his and EVERYONE ELSE’S detriment. stop making people boring. let them fight about what they’re going to do more. time would be waymore)
#interesting if people actually address the whole ‘he’s the oldest so he’s in charge’ thing as it really is: everyone mistaking him for Super
#Skilled And Talented when he’s spent the 30 years since he killed ganon farming in the middle of nowhere. and he’s just like haha yeah sure!
#i definitely know how to coordinate 9 fighters with distinct fighting styles ! i can do that! <- guy who sends his wife on market trips bc
#he grew up in a forest of like 5 total children and still thinks normal human adults are weird
