Hey, @hyrule-kingdom-updates, can you believe it’s been two whole years already? 

I decided to draw another post of yours to celebrate! I hope you like it

Rubeo, it sounds like you're hungry. Why don't you eat a lemon cookie? You're not you when you're hungry :)

NO I don't want a fuckin—wait. Can horses have lemon? I haven't fed my girl Rodent yet... She can definitely have sugar, but lemon... I remember rats don't like it so maybe horses can't too...?

Son, I understand you're disappointed by—

"I understand." I really doubt that!

...Maybe even by virtue of her namesake she won't like lemon...

I do have just regular chocolate chip cookies if that—

Chocolate!? You trying to assassinate her, huh!?

What was even in that letter?!

I can't tell you. Not now...

You never want to tell me anything. You never say anything to me, anymore. What do you want me to do?! Sit here in silence, let you take the reigns?? The last time we did that, everyone—

Son. You just have to trust me...

Are you sure you have that the right way?!? We HAD it! We could have fucking made a difference out there. Everyone was listening to you, believing you, I believed in you, and you threw it away for what? More cowardice? More hiding? Is this who you always were? Was I just not grown up enough yet to understand? Should I have trained more for you to have faith in me? Studied better? Pull the sword out sooner!?

ENOUGH.

Larc: Here are two pictures. One of them is your office, and the other is a garbage dump. Can you tell which is which?

Siv: Uhh

Siv, pointing at one of the pictures: That one is the dump

Larc: They're both your office

Siv: Shit

Also improvising some Larc stuff because for some reason I want to back all of @hyrule-kingdom-updates with Jazz

#bluesssss feels for my angsty boy Larc #god I love Larc so much ugh he deserves so much better #pspspspsp read hku and pour your heart and soul into it like I have because AAAAAAAA #mudkip music #Arcadius Hartell #link’s gay dads I love them

[rangerlink]

okay okay okay my extremely vague @hyrule-kingdom-updates theories before tomorrow, under a cut for SPOILERS because you should really experience this blog as blind as possible:

okay in short I am VERY SUS of Larc which isn’t exactly an original thought but listen, Something Is Going On With Larc

I think there’s a large-ish possibility he was in fact responsible for the first arm-chopping incident which is why Siv doesn’t remember it (although it’s also possible Siv was there at the time and witnessed it)

this is corroborated by the extremely strong vibes I’m getting that Bad Dad Hartell Has Something On Larc. he and Larc both know some secret that no one else does, which would be extremely bad for Larc if it got out. could be I’m just reading too much into Bad Dad’s “I made you” comments but I could also not be!

honestly my initial thought was “holy shit is Arcadius Hartell some kind of false identity?? was there some kind of Twin Switch But They’re Not Twins???” I think that’s a pretty improbable theory because I don’t see how it could have happened when they were teenagers and Siv and the Hylian populace at large be totally unaware of it but I do get the very strong idea that There Has Been Some Kind Of Switcheroo. to paraphrase the words of Brian David Gilbert, “mayhaps some things, perchance, were swapped".

jumping off of this I do think it’s at least a little bit possible that Siv and Larc, like, switched names??? this would be connected to my first theory up there of Larc Did The First Arm-Chopping, and that initially, the first child was named Link Arcadius Hartell because why wouldn’t you give your first child the hero name?? and then Larc’s name was in fact Assivus Hartell for the first 17 years of his life but then he needed a new name after The Incident so his dad gave him his brother’s.

I have absolutely no clue where I’m going with this it would be really really improbable and hard to do but I’m just getting SUCH strong Switcheroo Vibes that I can’t help but be over here gesturing emphatically at my Pepe Silvia Board except all it says is “Mayhaps Some Things Perchance Were Swapped!!”

but then also I’m just really attached to Siv Hartell, Amnesiac Arm-Chopper At Large

idk i’m not good at theorizing and i dont normally do it!!!

#i speak #hyrule kingdom updates #i'm definitely way off base with all of this but i am having fun being confused #which is what counts

[hyrule-kingdom-updates]

SIV. what do YOU want? cause it sounds like you don't really want any of them to die

Y-Yes. Think about this, Asivus...Siv. You don't want to help these people. You don't want to hurt anyone.

Hmph. WRONG! Oh so very wrong, my stupid little brother! Have you forgotten? Lost your memory?

I'm a dangerous person! A blight upon my family name and the good land of Hyrule! A killer! A clipper! Asunder-er, or whatever I'm supposed to go by these days. It's my whole thing, hurting everyone around me! I just loooove doing it, too!

But it's not who you actually are.

Are you sure about that? I think I'm exactly who I'm supposed to be! Don't you know what I did? I bet you've got the news by now, I know the old man sent a letter about your cute little family.

Dad, what the fuck is he talking about?

Your innocent, happy, hard-working husband? Your silly, talented, little daughter? What do you think they think, hm? I wonder what they would think about ol' Assivus Asunder at this moment.

You're not—

Do you think if they saw me slaughter you right in front of them, they'd cast me out? Ruin my life forever? Nonono, that's too tame, right?

Siv.

They probably woulda killed me where I stood. Yeah. Maybe they should of. Coward's way out, I think, to just let me roam and live. Twenty years is a long time to let a guy like that go hungry. A good brother would have just driven a sword through the lungs of a monster like that, right?

D-Dad, did. Did he—?!

Or maybe that's too easy, putting me out of my misery. Noooo, I mean, that's what jail is for, right? Speaking of, you look good in there! Cozy!

Siv. You aren't a monster. You don't deserve any of this. I—

Couldn't agree more!! Only... It's by slaying the monster that one gets the title of a good and gracious hero. The knight in shining armor... That was the graduating test in the academy, remember? Well. I don't. I never took it! Haha!

Hey... Does anyone see a monster around? I think I should check that off the bucket list. Right. Now...

WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING THIS ANY FURTHER.

WHAT MADE YOU BEND THE KNEE, HUH? S-S-SOME DAMN BRIBE??? YOU GOT A PROMISE FOR, FOR SOME BETTER SON OUT THERE OR SOMETHING??

DON’T YOU DARE SAY ANOTHER WORD—

Hey, HEyyyy... Both of you calm the fuck down and quit yelling. Now that both of you are using your vocal chords, it’s killing my eardrums...

Link... Captain... Please—

NO! ANSWER ME. WHAT WAS IN THE FUCKING LETTER?

A GOOD REMINDER OF OUR PLACE IN ALL THIS.

OH? THIS IS OUR PLACE? THIS IS WHERE WE BELONG?!

AWAY FROM CONFLICT WITH TIME TO THINK OVER OUR PRIORITIES, YES.

Priorities?!

YES.

No. No, maybe this is where YOU belong. But not me.

Link.

NOT me! Not Mipha! You're dragging other people into this shit, too, ya know!

LINK.

You think Mipha’s dad would lock her in a dungeon every time he thought she wasn’t good enough to be princess?

L-Link, that’s not—

Don’t you see Zelda? Mallory out there? Facing failures every day to do her part?! Meanwhile, my perfect fucking father—

I have NEVER said—!

—can’t even go ONE moment without making sure his son is kept in his little box! Always gotta second-guess and make sure your stupid little son knows what he’s getting into! None of that for Aryll! None of that for aaaanyone else. It’s always, “Son, are you sure?” “Link, do you really wanna be a knight?” “Can you handle it?” “You don’t need to be a hero.” “Son, let me go get myself killed to show how worthless you are!” “Let me fix up your pathetic attempt to be a hero like me—”

I AM TRYING TO PROTECT YOU.

NO! YOU’RE PROTECTING YOURSELF. YOU AND YOUR WORTHLESS SPINE JUST CAN’T FUCKING BEAR THE IDEA THAT YOU SON MIGHT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE SOMEBODY. YOU DON’T THINK ABOUT ANYONE ELSE’S FEELING BUT YOURS. EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER DONE HAS BEEN FOR YOU—

IF THAT IT WHAT IT TAKES TO GET YOU TO STAY, THEN FINE. I AM DOING THIS FOR ME, AND I DON’T GIVE A DAMN HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT. I WILL NOT LOSE YOU, TOO!

... ... “...Too?”

Can I have a lemon cookie?

Sure! Um, I'm...I'm not quite sure how...how to...hmm...

Hey, why not toss one to my father, too.

No. I'm fine. I'm not...I-I don't... I haven't the appetite for these...

...Maybe...If I say the word "lemon cookie," perhaps you all can just chew the part of the parchment you're reading from that says it, and use your imagination? Here: lemon cookie, lemon cookie, lemon cookie...

Oh?? Are you sure, father?? You don't want to enjoy the perks of our new home?? I thought you wanted to be here so bad! Why don't you make the most of it?

Hey! I don't care if about dumb Zora diplomatic immunity privileges. No one else here is getting a cookie under MY watch!

Oh no...

OH!! YES!!

Heez, the kid's in a spunky mood, huh?

Siv, I know you're disappointed in me and stuff, but you gotta snap out of this! Where's Dad? Aryll? These two keep them somewhere? We'll fuck up Astor and—

OhOOO! You don't even KNOW!! lol that's cute...

What are you talking about?

Asivus was with... "Won't lose you too..." Oh, Hylia...

Kohga, shut up and find what we need. I'll deal with—

If ANY of you take ONE step closer to Link!

You'll what, hm? What'll ya do, Arcadius? You gonna kill me? You gonna kill us?

maybe you ought to shut up

You think I wanted to be stuck here on babysitting duty, guarding a couple of kids and their dickass dad while everyone else is up there partying with the pastries?! No! Instead of getting a fresh new royal uniform, I'm sittin' here, rat shit on my boots, with only a pampered princess for conversation! So sooorrrry if I'm in a bad mood!

Apology accepted...

OK, I don't know enough Hylian sign to know what you said but it looked disrespectful and sarcastic sO CATCH these birds, kid! Hope the middle fingers translate well!

He's quiet, not deaf. You don't need to treat him like—

I don't need you speaking for me.

Chapter 3 sneaky peaky:

Heroes Through the Eras

Link Sabellius Blair: Hero of the Light, Slayer of the Arachnid King, The Carver of Tanagar, The Father of Iron. [See the Archives of Legends for list of all details and accolades] Died in the Battle of Finality, in which thanks to his fiery last stand now immortalized in the Breach of Demise, the kingdom successfully defeated and sealed the necrotic forces that long plagued the land.  

Link Ercan Merritts: Hero of Legacy, Voice of the Brave, Slayer of the Mother of Giants, The Bane of Betrayers. Active in both the physical defense of the people as well as in court politics, it was by his hand that many anarchists, terrorists, and monsters alike were defeated, their schemes foiled, and peace within Hyrule maintained. Died of natural causes 

Link Dougal Moore: The Blade Invisible. Most notable for speaking to and for the spirits of the land. Lived a hermit life in Shadow Pass, and took few apprentices. Died of poisoning from an unknown party. 

Link Nellie Aaldenberg: Violent vigilante who frequently fought against the campaigns of Queen Zelda Irene. Wielded an ancient device that shot metal arrows. Sliced two fingers off of Queen Irene in a defending revolt against the Hebra Conquests. Killed by Princess Zelda Kleos. 

Link Wallace Grey: Born to a family in Tabantha Village. Died at birth.

Link Ryo Furst: Born to a family in Lurelin Village. Died at birth.

Link Michelle Ragnar: Born to a family in Gerudo Town. Died at birth.

Link [Unknown]: Died. Link [Unknown]: Died. Link [Unknown]: Died. [See Chapter 4: The Prunings of Queen Irene and Queen Kleos for speculations]

Link Abbas Brandt: Hero of Prosperity. The Right Hand of Kleos. Said to have never failed an order, nor ever lost a fight. Previous General of the Hyrulean Army, first General not of the Hartell Family lineage

*Link Saylor Baanders: First Hero with Sheikah Blood, The Faster Blade, Founder of the Blue Flame Guild [See Chapter 6: The Dilemmas of Parallax Prophecy for details and speculations]

[hyrule-kingdom-updates]

“Captain?”

He registered no sound, no senses except that of a thick foreboding weight of nothingness that had now gathered in his mind—a singular drifting cloud made from the weight of an ocean somewhere far away. 

Parchment flutters to the ground like an autumn leaf, long too dead to feel its flight. The broken wax melts and kisses upon the cobblestone street. The hand that once held the letter doesn’t move. 

Someone says something again. Whatever words they say don’t blow the cloud away. 

This isn’t real, right? But the words he speaks aren’t there. His lips make the movement, the words sit on the back of his throat like bile, but the breath that would carry the sound never comes.

No, this is real.

I did this. I’ve always done this.

Why should I even be surprised?

Comeuppance. That moment of cowardice those years ago…and now I’ve killed—

“What?! What is it?!”

The rare, sweet sound of Link’s voice snaps Arcadius out from his own mind as he turns to him. Some soldiers hold the boy back from the edge of the crowd, but he still struggles against them with a determined look towards his father—his disgusting, horrible father. 

“Whatever that thing said doesn’t matter, Dad! We can do this! You can—!”

He was just a small little thing when he first showed interest in his old man’s work. Aryll was always attracted to the sweets and colors of Launo’s hobbies, but young little Link always seemed too impatient for baking and smelting. 

His starry eyed face always followed his father in the crowd of soldiers training in the barracks. He spoke more back then, always asking questions, tugging on gloves and boots, begging for stories, tales of feats of heroism. He could sometimes be seen riding on Arcadius’ shoulders to get a better look at the weapons that towered over him. He was so small then, light and bright with a smile as he leaned over his fathers head, locks of his hair in his pudgy fists.

Do you really kill them all? Every one? Link would ask. Did you get all the monsters in the woods today?

Of course, his father would reply, playfully tapping his son’s nose. It’s a knight’s duty to protect their people from any danger out there.

An excited nod. A ruffle of short blond hair. 

Next time wait for me, Dad! I’ll help! 

Now, now. To do that, you start by focusing on your training— 

I’m gonna be just like you! Just wait and see!

And Link would topple off his shoulders, and run off his room. The sound of wooden swords smacking against the walls would fill the night. 

And he got quiet as he focused, and grew. 

They both did.  

“Dad!” Link calls out, “Please—!” 

The captain blinks. 

His movement is so sudden, Rhoam nearly thinks it an ambush. A shield clatters to the ground. Arcadius flashes his sword and sheathes it quickly in a soldier's practice—its last dance whistles in the still air before the leather suffocates its glimmer to silence. His gaze is glassy, and he doesn’t blink, a blank expression on his face. 

Rhoam barely hears the whisper from under the captain’s breath.

“The only terms I ask are that we are imprisoned swiftly and immediately.”

The king’s gaze is soft. A nod. “Done.”

There is no uproar, no tears, no sign of any form of emotion, except for the trivial instance of a shaky inhale. 

He kneels.

“Your Majesty, I, Link Arcadius Hartell, along with my son and associated party, do hereby declare our immediate surrender.”
