Whumptober Day 27: Matches, Scars
AO3 link. I'm still working my way through whumptober :D.
AND!!!! THIS IS MY 50TH WORK POSTED ON AO3!!!!!! :DDDDD
Summary: The chain relaxes in a hot spring, and Wild notices Sky has a scar that matches one of his. 1052 words. Sky & Wild.
Warnings: scars, discussion of scars, lightning scars, Sky starts to feel very uncomfortable because of discussion of scars (not graphic, doesn't reach panic attack stage)
Whump rating: 1/5. Very light-hearted vibes
Sky lowered himself into the hot spring with a long, content sigh. The heat immediately soothed his aching muscles, and the pressure of the water felt incredible. Sky sighed happily again, letting his eyes slide shut and his head fall back to rest on the rocks. The angle made the pain in his neck more pronounced, Sky realized with a wince, but he didn’t have the energy to hold his head up.
“Sky, here,” Wild said.
“Hm?”
“Lift your head for me?” Wild asked.
Sky lifted his head without opening his eyes. He heard Wild shuffling behind him.
“Okay, good,” Wild said.
Sky dropped his head again and made a surprised noise when it landed on something soft. It kept his head raised enough that the angle didn’t put pressure on his neck. Sky smiled widely as he reached up to adjust the fabric into the perfect position. He opened his eyes to meet Wild’s above him.
“Thanks, champion,” Sky said. Wild beamed.
Sky finished adjusting the fabric then let his arms splash back into the water. He let them float on top, making small waves with careful motions.
On the other side of the spring, Wind and Hyrule were taking turns being thrown into the spring by Twilight. Their laughter was like music to Sky, and he relished in the sound. Sky could see Four watching closely, and Sky hoped he would set aside his maturity for long enough to play, too.
A comfortable distance away from the splashing, Time, Warriors, and Legend were reclined comfortably in the water. Warriors and Legend were playfully arguing about something. Although Sky couldn’t hear, he suspected Time was antagonizing them on purpose, based on the man’s mischievous smirk.
Sky chuckled softly to himself. It was a perfect day.
There was a small splash as Wild flopped into the spring. The water lapped up against Sky’s chest. The heat stung comfortably.
“This was a great idea,” Sky said. “The heat feels so nice.”
“It has healing properties, too,” Wild said.
“Oh, really?” Sky asked.
Wild nodded as he pulled his hair tie out and began combing his fingers through his hair. “Yeah. The science is pretty cool, actually. Yunobo explained it to me once. The water here is connected to the great fairies springs, but there’s also a reaction that happens with some chemical I don’t remember the name of because of the heat.”
“Cool,” Sky said. They fell into comfortable silence as Wild worked on his hair and Sky worked on relaxing.
“Hey, Sky?” Wild asked. His voice was soft and hesitant. Sky looked at him in surprise.
“Yeah?” Sky asked.
“Those lines,” Wild said.
Sky followed his gaze. The bright lightning scars started on his hand and branched up his arm, then down the right side of his torso and all the way down his right leg.
“They’re from lightning, right?” Wild asked.
“They are,” Sky pushed the words out through tight throat. The nerves in his hand tingled. He kept his gaze on the water.
“Look, I have some too! We’re matching!” Wild said. Sky blinked in surprise at the change in his tone.
Wild jumped up in the water and pointed to his hip. The same marks arched across Wild’s hip and down his leg. Sky had never noticed them before. Wild’s body was a mosaic of scar tissue more so than the rest of them. It all blended in Sky’s mind. That was what Wild looked like, and he had never paid any more attention to it than that.
“It’s from Thunderblight,” Wild said. “Made it through rubber armor and a shock resistant elixir.”
Sky didn’t know what rubber was. He decided to focus on that, rather than the shock of the lightning coursing through his body, and the blood-boiling anxiety of I have to get this shot right- have I held onto this one for too long- is this going to fry my heart- am I going to win.
“What’s rubber?” Sky asked. He thought his voice sounded remarkably steady, considering.
Wild paused, blinking blankly at him. “I… don’t actually know.”
And just like that, Sky felt the tension in him break. He huffed a laugh and tried to force his muscles to relax, his heartbeat to slow.
“You used it even though you don’t know what it is?” Sky asked.
“Course I did. I didn’t know what anything was, at first,” Wild said with a grin. Sky nodded in acquiescence. He supposed that was true.
Wild looked at Sky’s scars again, and his expression made Sky think he was going to ask another question.
“Can, um,” Sky asked, swallowing thickly. “Can we change the subject?”
Wild’s eyes went wide. “Of course! I’m sorry, Sky, yeah. Of course. Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked. I was just- we matched, and-”
“Hey,” Sky said. He put his hands over Wild’s to still their rapid movements.
“It’s alright. You didn’t know,” Sky said. “But we’re here to relax, and I’d like to do that.”
“Yeah, totally. Sorry. We’ll do that,” Wild said. Sky smiled again, and leaned back on the fabric below his head.
“Sky!”
Legend’s yell came from across the spring. Sky groaned light-heartedly and reluctantly raised his head. Legend and Warriors were both rushing towards him in the water. They looked ridiculous, Sky thought, trying to move quickly through the spring. He stifled a laugh.
“You need to settle this for us. The old man can’t have a serious discussion for more than two seconds at a time,” Legend said, shooting a glare in Time’s direction. “You’ll be impartial.”
“There’s no way you’re winning this one,” Warriors said.
“Shut it, pretty boy. Here’s the thing. I’m obviously the most fashionable hero, here-”
“Bullshit.”
“I said shut it! And since I’m obviously the most fashionable, I-”
“How are we deciding that? I think I should be in the running,” Wild said.
“What? There’s no running, I’m just trying to make a point-”
“I dunno, I think I could give you a run for your rupees,” Wild said, complete with a shrug and a shit-eating grin to match Time’s.
Sky stroked his chin in an imitation of deep thought. “Wild makes a good point, Vet. What’s the criteria here?”
Legend let out a strangled, frustrated noise and splashed backwards into the water.

Alright so I’m just wondering how a yautja with a reader who has a big scar-ish like I’ll try my best to set the scene just head cannons by the way
The yautja is coming back from a hunt and they see reader doing something with what his knowledge of humans is called “yoga” (basically the reader was doing yoga)
Then when they walk into the backyard to see them they just see them shirtless since it’s a hot day then they see the reader with this big ass scar
(Or something along the lines you can choose how the yautja finds out about the scar)
And the scar looks like this
When they ask how they got the scar the reader just responds with a cheery tone
Reader:Oh this never mind that o just got struck by lightning
Honestly would just like to see their reaction sorry if this was too long or something anyways have a nice day/night and stay hydrated
Gotcha, gotcha, interesting premise. :D
You're in the backyard. Unsurprising, you do quite seem to like stretching.
They are very surprised to see the splintering scar down your back. It's mesmerizing. They've never seen anything quite like it.
They surprise you out of your yoga pose, having quietly crossed the yard to trace the pinkish raised tissue.
You explain that you survived a lightning strike while hiking in the mountains. Barely.
You'd been is a pretty sorry state when the air lift crew found you. The hospital staff was quick to inform you that the new scar was going to be a very permanent fixture, even with the medicinal lotions they provided.
Your yautja is immediately fascinated. Their species is immune to electrical damage, being able to deal with lightning strikes as easily as a tickle fight.
They cooly admit that they find your scars attractive, it's intricacy rivals some of their acid scars.
Cheekily, the also offer to help you apply lotion whenever you like.
You just roll your eyes and ask if they'd like to join you.

You ever start a drawing, and then get so carried away with it that all of a sudden, what was supposed to be a low effort piece, is now a shaded, rendered, G.I.F.?
POV: That one time Jay started that electrical fire in the training room and then blamed it on Kai. Nya has found out who the true culprit is. ;)
(I didn't draw the background or anything, it's just a blurred image of the monastery. I didn't want to try and draw it myself, cause I'm not that good at backgrounds yet. And it would have taken me forever.)
It all started with this post.
It mentioned how awesome it is when people draw Jay (Ninjago) and Luke Skywalker (Star Wars) with lightning scars.
(Which I totally agree with!)
I had never heard of people drawing Luke Skywalker with lightning scars (y'know, from the Emperor's force lightning and all.), and I loved the concept! I had to draw my own versions immediately!
So I decided to draw the two of them rockin' their cool scars because they're two of my favorite characters ever!
I started on Jay.
And then I kept going.
And going.
And going.
(For some reason, when I made it a gif, it zapped the quality, sorry about that)
Here are the originals and a still frame! Enjoy the 2 lightning scar boys!
I had a lot of fun experimenting with different shading techniques on these 2, and I want to use some of them in the future.
Anyway, enjoy!

I’m ALIVE! (Not really tho :p)
Anyways, um so I still do have my Transformers docs that I need to finish butttttttt.
….My Danny Phantom faze is back…
Yes I used to watch it and for some reason like a week-ish ago it bit me in the aft, but I still have not forgotten my TFP docs I’m still workin’ on those but hey when you move you lose internet so meh.
Anyway I drew some Danny Phantom art and I would like to share it :)
Yes I drew both human and ghost forms, I kinda just wanted an excuse to draw Danny with purple skin ‘cause I haven’t seen him drawn like that yet….
I was originally gonna draw him with light green-ish skin but then I was like “why not try a shade of purple?” And boom this ideas was born.
I also took reference to actual D£d bodies ‘cause if you let them sit for too long, the Bl°°d starts to collect at the bottom of the body and turns purple or if you cut off Bl°°d flow to somethin’ it goes purple. And hey I thought it might be cool soooo.
Also, THIS WAS WAAAAAY OUTTA MY COMFORT ZONE! No seriously I don’t like to draw side profiles cause I think they come out like scrap (just mine tho I love other peoples side profiles) but hey a shout out is deserved to my moms boyfriend, because he said it looked really good and he said, I did a great job on it ‘cause most of the time they don’t look that good since there so hard to do and most people kinda frag it up on certain parts of the face.
Anyway here’s my take on Danny Phantom. It was enjoyable to draw and pushed my comfort zone a bit too :)
