VI. Apples and Bunny Love
Ravio admires his partner. Also, Link gets to ramble about apples
(This was supposed to have at least somewhat of a plot, but then it turned into Link talking about apples for 30+ minutes and Ravio thinking about how cute he is)
Link hummed softly as he weaved through the trees. The orchard was doing well this year- some trees even had full-grown apples! They were much better than the tiny, sour things that had been growing previously, too sour to do anything with except leave for the birds and the deer. But now? Link’s mind whirled with all the possible recipes, long left to gather dust but now had a chance at being used after all these years.
Apple pie, tarts, cakes, salads, cider... so many possibilities, and it would only get better from here! He let out a happy squeak, his steps turning to hops as he drew closer to the house. He couldn’t wait to share the news with Ravio!
Speak of the rabbit, and he shall appear: clad in a soft sweater and his usual scarf, the merchant waved to him from where he stood by the backdoor, Sheerow perched on one shoulder. As Link drew nearer the bird took off, fluttering first around Ravio’s head, then Link’s, before disappearing into the trees.
“Hi, Ravi,” Link smiled as he slowed to a stop before his partner. In a sudden burst of courage, he leaned closer, waiting for Ravio to nod before planting a kiss on his freckled cheek. Ravio beamed, flapping his hands and rocking back and forth even as he leaned in to nuzzle his partner. Link flushed, bashful at the quiet pride in his eyes. His own hands flicked happily at his sides.
“Guess what?” He asked excitedly as they drew back. Ravio held out a hand and Link took it eagerly, swinging their joined arms as together they turned to go inside.
“What, honeybee?” As always, the nickname made his cheeks go pink, and he ducked his head, momentarily flustered. Ravio simply smiled and kept swinging their hands.
“Uh-! Um, y’know the orchard? How all the apples have been really, really small? An’ how sour and gross they are, so you can’t even use ‘em for anything? Well some of the trees grew bigger apples this year! They’re near all red and actually almost sweet, which means we can use ‘em for baking soon! Or- or, we could turn them into cider, or apple butter- I think you’d really like apple butter, Ravi, you can put it on just about anythin’. Oh! There’s a whole bunch of other things you can make with apples; I think we have a recipe book somewhere. My Uncle got it ages ago when we first started the orchard. It’s got stuff in it I think you’d like. I’m pretty sure we have a few different kinds of apples, too, so we can try a bunch of things!”
Ravio listened with a warm smile as Link rambled, the other boy too caught up in his excitement to notice they’d come to a stop in the kitchen. The merchant guided him to the table and into a chair, where he was free to rock and wave his hands as he continued talking.
Ravio hardly ever saw his partner so openly excited or happy about anything. Link tended to keep his emotions tucked close to his chest, presenting a quiet (if not silent), stone-faced front to the world. It was an unfortunate result of starting his many adventures so young. He’d had to lock away the childish, carefree boy he was before his uncle passed to make room for the hero he’d had to become.
He shook his head; no need to get caught up in the past when Link was right here with him, happy and full of life. He leaned back against the counter, chin in one hand as he watched his partner (and oh! how happy that made him feel: all bubbly and light and feather-soft) with a content smile.
“— an’ one of my favourites was these apple-cinnamon cookies! You could hardly tell there’s apples in ‘em ‘cept for the flavour. I think maybe Uncle used cider or juice when he made ‘em; I don’t remember. I think he wrote it down somewhere, though. I hope so, I miss them.”
Link frowned then, the vibrant purple of his eyes darkening briefly in sadness. Then he shook his head as if to rid it of the memories.
“You mentioned other kinds of apples,” Ravio spoke up. He was determined to make those pretty violet eyes sparkle again, and right now that meant indulging him in his long-term interest: his orchard and the apples that Link had been trying to encourage it to grow for years. Link looked over at him, surprised, and Ravio gave an encouraging hum.
The other boy bit his lip, emotions Ravio couldn’t decipher flickering across his face. “Um. O-okay.” He stopped to gather his thoughts from wherever they’d gone when his mood took a turn. His hands fidgeted, fingers twisting his myriad of rings in a nervous tic.
Ravio pushed off the counter to join him at the table. Sitting down across from his hero he took Link’s hands gently in his own and gave them a squeeze. Link returned the gesture after a moment, taking a deep breath as he settled.
“There’s, um. Not all apples are, or uh- can be used for the same thing. Some are just for eating, some apples only for um, for baking, like- like pumpkins!” There was the glimmer he was looking for. “Let’s see, um...” The tip of Link’s tongue poked out of his mouth as he thought, a tiny spot of pink between his lips. It was one of the cutest sights Ravio had ever seen, he thought.
“There’s granny smiths, people use ‘em for baking all the time. Um, red delicious you can eat, or, uh, put in something like a salad. Those are good. Then there’s golden delicious- you can use ‘em for j’st about anythin’. McIntoshes can be used for anythin’ too, though they don’t hold their shape real well when you bake with ‘em.”
Link’s eyes were growing brighter, and he played mindlessly with Ravio’s hands as he talked. For his part, the merchant hummed and made interested noises to show he was listening. It really was interesting, to be honest; as far as he knew Lorule didn’t have quite so many varieties of produce, or if they indeed had apples at all. He couldn’t quite recall, having been a little more focused on finding food he could actually eat than what it was exactly. He was infinitely glad not to have to worry about that here.
Oblivious to his partner’s musings, Link continued rambling, his mood now back to what it was before. His cheeks were flushed, making the faint freckles scattered across his skin stand out like little stars. Ravio loved those freckles as much as Link adored his.
Link paused for a moment, chewing his lip in a sudden bout of self-consciousness. “I... I’m not boring you, am I?” he asked abruptly.
Caught off-guard at the question, Ravio stuttered for a moment before hastening to reassure him. “Goddess, no! I love listening to you talk, honeybee. Especially when it’s about things you enjoy.” He squeezed his hands before disentangling one and reaching across the table to rub his thumb against Link’s cheek. The other boy leaned into it, still looking unsure. “It makes me happy to see you happy. Plus, I get to learn all sorts of things I didn’t know before!”
His hero made a little ‘oh!’ sound and glanced away, down at the table where their hands sat, still clasped. Ravio caressed his cheek one more time before standing and moving towards one of the cabinets.
“Don’t worry, I still want to listen,” he consoled before the other could get too upset, opening the cabinet and reaching for two glasses, bringing them over to the sink to fill with water. “I’m just getting us something to drink, that’s all.” Glasses full, he brought them over to the table and set one before Link before sitting down with his own.
Link didn’t say anything. “Bunny?”
Link met his eyes before glancing away again. “Um, I like- I like listening to you, too.” He gave a short nod, pressing his lips together in a thin line.
Ravio’s heart swelled, making him squeak happily and drum his hands on the table. Link gave a soft huff of laughter, then started talking about apples again. Ravio smiled, settling in to listen.
He wouldn’t trade this for all the rupees in the world.

I miss you Lorna… this is such a mess
This is an old message and I had several other similar messages, but I miss you guys and hope you’re all doing well!! I’m sorry to see nothing has improved.
I saw I was kindly mentioned by @awesomefringey and some other commenters the other day, so just wanted to log in and say hello and log back out for a few more months. 💕
Sending so so much love to all of you. Take care of yourselves and each other, please.
The video is still on YT.
#Anywayyyyy#The fandom added a whole lot more C to my C-PTSD#So a nice random message every few months instead of a freshly posted death wish is LOVELY.#Don’t fret. On meds and therapied but fresh tf out of money from it so @ L and H… lornasaurusrexx at g*ail is the PayPal if ur bored 🙃#I hate to be like this but protect your hearts. They’ll never be able to look out for you guys and they feed these trolls ammo for snacks#and it seems to have only gotten worse. Gotta keep them hets hetbaited for their money whilst actively encouraging them to bully yall? Why?#STILL!? At this point it feels like they’ve both chosen that path deliberately now and I find it quite gross. but I’m also very far removed#So don’t worry about my opinions. Keep trusting your own intuition!!! You all see it. I love you guys and your beautiful hearts and empathy#But I hope they can sleep at night knowing the absolute fucking genuine WRECKAGE they left across the Big Gay War generation/era of Larries#Don’t worry guys I’m just as dramatic as ever. None of this has anything to do with them coming out or anything. Just how we were treated.#But trust I fuckin mean that shit from the deepest darkest pit of my Demon Larrie™️ heart. They encouraged this. 🤷🏼‍♀️#Anyone who cares about my actual life updates: I’m a school nurse now and will be working at a bougie summer camp over break#Had a surgery I needed. Got new tattoos and piercings. In a happy and healthy relationship with the best dude for almost a year now.#OH and I went to New Zealand last year with Prettytruthsandlies!!!! We made a pact back in our Big Gay War/college days to go. And we DID!!#I got overstimulated and overfed and puked in Hobbiton. 🤣 (It was the best time of my LIFE GENUINELY🥰🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹)#Okay BYE LOVE YOU GUYS#There are better and more humane ways to maintain a closet ..like literally STFU entirely. Ignoring it and not exploiting a kid is FREE#🇵🇸

on that post cy made in regards to problematic characters… tbh i don’t think i make problematic characters. not because they don’t do bad things but just the words “problematic” and “characters” do not exist in my mind or vocabulary in conjunction**. i have multifaceted fucks that make a variety of decisions that make sense for their arc and their story. they are also fictional people. yes they can kill people and be manipulative idc they’re not real lmao

I thought the fact that Big Finish can no longer use images from the TVM on their covers due to rights issues was bad enough, but it suddenly struck me when I watched this 60 Years in 60 seconds video the other day and saw it wind through the 90s as though nothing had happened, that it goes much further. Although the movie is available on iPlayer, given the Eighth Doctor has been entirely represented as seen in Night and Power of the Doctor in official anniversary compilations/images it’s evident that, unlike ten years ago, even the BBC can’t use clips/photos from the TVM in new output any more.
All this just makes me even more grateful for those later appearances, as without them Paul and Eight would now be effectively wiped from the show’s history, visually at least.

Not sure how well to put this but like… from a thinking standpoint, I wish there was a little more explanation about the intersection between magic/law in AF, because both seem to be closely intertwined, and that’s fascinating.
(Of course, I know it’s understandable that those themes are not really typical for the genre and target audience- but it’s still interesting to thing about)

You know what would be really funny, is if people came together to have an anti-crab day. A day where every user who joined prior to automattic’s acquisition logged off for 24 hours to show that yes, actually, older user retention is important and you should listen us just as much as new users
The users giveth, the users taketh away

GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY IM BACK I HAVE ANSWERS so we looked at my teeth etc and I’m not gonna die of sepsis bc despite all the shit my toothache caused me there’s no infection. so what was it, Bronwyn? good question!
wisdom teeth
#LMFAO#my wisdom teeth are……… so poorly angled. 100% impact on all four#and the left one is tryna make moves so it’s swelling my gums which is raising my molar#and jacking up my bite while the tooth is sensitive in sensitive gums#¯\_(ツ)_/¯#so he suggested just. get rid of them. take the wisdom teeth out. all 4 bc of the possible impact from them#and if I didn’t I’d just periodically have this crazy ass pain come and go and come and go and fuck THAT so. removal it is#👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻#I have no idea what that’s gonna cost lmfao so we’ll…. we’ll see#and today basically the pain hasn’t been nearly as severe. the swelling has gone down significantly. so I think the pain/problem is#subsiding for a bit. I hope. lol. so they’re referring me to the dental hospital teehee#and then we did a clean of my teeth bc I have crazy plaque buildup and thus bacteria and thus making the issue worse. apparently. so#which isn’t a surprise. depression and adhd means I don’t brush my teeth as often as I should. and floss is scary#while doing that he seemed to have no problems with any of my fillings so I assume they’re fine atm too#all those side effects bc my wisdom tooth wants to play up…….. attention seeker#also between that molar and the gums where the wisdom tooth is. there’s a pocket. apparently. and stuff is getting stuck in there apparently#a pocket……. head in hands. and obviously that’s difficult to clean so that’s also bothering my gums and thus my tooth. GOD#ooc#anyways that’s the dentist update. tldr; I’m fucking fine it’s just wisdom teeth fucking it all up

Today was the last DND session for a three-year campaign and I am big sad :(
One of the players brought whiskey for a last toast, which was very kind of them. I had never had whiskey before. Turns out I do not like whiskey. Unsurprising.
It tastes like slightly nicer hand sanitizer.
#blue chatter#it was a flavored whiskey as well#everyone else who had it said it was rly smooth and sweet#so I don’t think I super wanna know what regular whiskey tastes like#it was supposed to be like vanilla caramel flavored or smth#I was told it was like cream soda and that was a LIE it was like disinfectant#with a vanilla aftertaste#the campaign went rly rly well though#I’m seriously going to miss it#the final boss battle was just pure catharsis we absolutely whaled on that dark abberant goddess#she got Destroyed#an entire section of the continent restructured bc of the removal of her corruption#I rly like that my character got to be disabled at the tail end of this campaign#they wielded experimental magic that wasn’t supposed to work and resurrected someone who the Keeper very intentionally kept dead#it worked because they partially fused with Arawai the goddess of life and became her aspect on earth#but becoming partially divine in a mortal body takes a toll#they had more and more limited mobility and the more they cast magic to compensate the more of a toll it takes#functionally that meant my movement speed was reduced#and I lost more abilities after each combat as the consequences of overextending myself caught up to me#I wish I’d gotten to play this longer to see how this ended mechanically but it was a lot of fun to get a character who is both#very magically competent and still disabled and that still affects their ability and they still get the dignity of risk#to choose whether to continue casting or not knowing the consequences of doing so#it is very much a fantastical disability which I flavored heavily off of chronic fatigue and a mobility disorder#in-game their skin became hard and brassy around their joints which make them difficult and painful to bend#they lose a lot of sensation and fine motor control#thankfully they have a lot of money from their adventuring so they can commission an accessible house and mobility aids#and their friends help take care of them

Sorry to be a hater but this is how I’ve been feeling recently
#listen.#I love fluff#fluff is great#but does EVERY relationship have to be fluff and only fluff#I’ve noticed in the past that fandoms fandoms tend to#like#stray away from any conflict between characters they ship that doesn’t end in ‘omg you were right and I was so wrong 🥺’#‘no I was wrong and I’m so sorry 😖😖😖’#‘okay let’s agree to never fight again and be healthy and happy forever 🥹’#and I’m more into complex not quite a perfect fit relationships right now#ones where they struggle to stay together#or where they both like each other but don’t get together for reasons OTHER than miscommunication#ones where they know they love each other but there’s obstacles#or where they’re both abusive shits#or where they’re both shitty people and they fit like a glove#I want more than just ‘luv you bby’ ‘awww me too’ ‘let’s go pet puppies together’#like sometimes I find two characters and I’m like ‘YES! something refreshing! let me find more content’#only to find all the fandom flanderized the characters#especially with the more toxic ones#it’s like. they’re shitty people but the fandom can’t explore that so they just remove everything that made them interesting#and its like ‘…why are you using *these* characters to do this?’#there’s every other character in the world to be sweet and cutesy#I’m hyperfixate on *this* dynamic#not the same dynamic every other relationship before it had#it’s like copy paste characterization regardless of if it makes sense#anyway#sorry for being a bitch about this but whatever :/#personal post

I’m rewatching Bad’s vod during the voting shenanigans and OMG it’s NOT about the furniture!!!!! The amount of people who dismiss his very valid criticisms of the voting system because of the furniture law is INFURIATING and it’s not just Forever. Jaiden, Foolish, Cellbit, Richas, even Pomme. all of them do it. The fact that Cellbit gives him a chair at the end of their conversation is such a slap in the face to their entire conversation and just proves that Cellbit wasn’t listening to anything Bad said
“I’m gonna beat someone to death with this chair”
I hope he does
(Also the fact that Bad immediately started giving Forever the benefit of the doubt and trust that he was trying to do good after his convo with Cellbit is very telling. Even through all of the miscommunications and cutting each other off and twisting each others words, Bad still wants to trust Forever and work with him for the benefit of the island. Idk if they are gonna be able to get through to each other but that means something)

yesterday i remembered they posted a sneak peek of ichiro’s page in the next guidebook and since i was feeling kinda insane then, i decided to compare ichiro’s about summaries and it looks like it’s changed a little bit!!!!
the old summary talked about his compassion and sense of justice, him looking after his bros and his rivalry with samatoki but in this new one, it looks like they’ve replaced that info with stuff about rei and true hypnosis mic!!!!!!

Realizing the adultification and demonization of Duke and Damian is just. Not gonna stop. El oh el
#demonization more in Damian’s case#and not in the characters can’t do bad things kinda way#but in a writers and readers are so racist they’ll never even acknowledge that they don’t grant him the same grace they do anyone else#especially their white faves in comparison#and with the way they keep tryna spin Ra’s and Talia as being like. perfect parents maybe slightly absent or evil back then but family ppl#at heart it’s just gonna be more excuses to demonize a brown child bc now the very basis of his previous attitude will be gone#i mean for some of you it was never existed or acknowledged but there’s a certain bitterness I’m feeling when y’all can point to a panel#written by someone who’s only read WFA for background and say ‘see its canon that he’s just a murderous asshole for no reason!’#same mfs who can’t tell me three bad things Tim’s done that they don’t fw bc either they’ve never read it or they justify it in their minds#and for Duke it’s like. just removing every aspect of his character bc god forbid u pay attention to a black child who’s not an easy stereo#that’s the difference Damian’s early appearance was very easy for a lot of y’all to stereotype even and at times especially Talia Stans#for Duke u can’t call him ghetto and u can’t call him one of the good ones bc there’s no ‘bad’ ones as a comparison point so he’s just a guy#he’s a good bro :) he’s there :) u don’t know enough about him to speak :)#and honestly if they keep going down the Al Ghuls are perfect route they might shoehorn Damian near that position too#that’d make it three for three when you involve cass. wow the poc of the family being reduced to no character besides propping up the yt#cast. maybe if we go that route and it happens to all three of them some of y’all will make a ‘fandom has a problem 🥺’ post and dip#like always el oh el so exhausted#batfandom racism#tim drake#jason Todd#dick grayson#bruce wayne#Lemme be a bitch today#Duke cass and Damian Stan’s I won’t clog ur dash with this#actually some of u cass Stan’s are….#I’ll just say it a lot of you are racist as fuck and can’t say shit about cass besides she fights good and deserves the world#batfam#wfa#anti wfa
