#oot manga my beloved

[parksrway]

hello!!! in my opinion you are like, The Sheik Guy (love your au btw) so i had a question regarding OoT Sheik. Do you think this guy was trained to be a Sheikah assassin, or just a straight-up ninja? Like tbf he never kills anyone but like. idk what do you think?

in the actual game he doesn't really do any actual fighting (and he literally gets tossed around like a ragdoll so KFHSJKFKS) BUT in the oot manga (spoilers btw) he's like. a double agent and it's so cool.

so I like to imagine that in game he's like a ninja assassin who can kill you in less than a second but he's too busy serenading the hero with his pretty music and being poetic to bother

#oot manga my beloved #asks #this guy can absolutely discreetly snap necks when needed idk

Spy x Family Musical

The musical was amazingly well done. From the set to the performance!

I saw 15.03.2023 13:00 musical starring: Hiroki Suzuki; Mirei Sasaki; Miharu Izawa and Tsubasa Takizawa as Loid, Yor, Anya and Yuri.

Actual Review

The Hall:

The hall was enormous, and my seat had a good view of the stage. It was very comfortable and it didn't feel as if you were sitting for a few hours because you were too focused on the musical itself. The hall was of course full of people raging from young to old. I even supported a small Anya cosplayer. She was "tots adorbs".

The Musical:

This was my first time going to a musical and I was excited. It was separated into two acts and the transitions were very organic.

The Set:

The set was amazing. From rotating buildings to actual screens that contributed to the set. The screens were used to introduce characters, and to show us the infamous animal scene from the beloved source material. They were also used to show us the spy dialogue between Loid and Fiona and to introduce Sylvia. Special mention goes to the one screen that popped up a few times with the face of Donovan Desmond. (He looked like an Italian Mafia Boss.)

ACT 1:

Act 1 started with the instruction of the Handler and Loid. I was instantly mesmerized by Handler's voice. Not only was it similar to the anime voice actress but also it was so melodic. Hander's voice stuck in my head. It was that good. After that, we got the song of Twilight. I would like to mention that we got the infamous rumble chair from the manga and small [Redacted]. Some of the chairs from the covers do appear in the musical like Yor's Red chair. It was a small detail but it really struck me how much they incorporated it into the musical. Suzuki-san played his Loid role so well that I thought it was Loid. And his singing voice was great. He has a rich and deep voice.

Here is where I want I want to talk about how they presented their inner thoughts. They used the lighting to paint a soft dark bluish light to the others and point the white projector to the one who was having an inner thought. Sometimes characters would even do weird actions that we perceive as things in their head.

After we were introduced to Loid we were shown how Operation Strixxx came into action. The iconic “You need to find a child in a few days” line was included. Unlike in the manga, the whole talk about Operation Strixxx was between Sylvia and Loid.

The scenes flowed really nicely into one another. After that, we had a song about how Anya and Loid met one another. Anya’s actress was adorable. She captivated the character well in speech and mannerisms. She was neutral on the stage.

When Anya got kidnapped I liked how Loid’s disguise was played by another actor but we saw Loid next to him which indicated we saw his brain process too.

Also, a cute moment happened when Anya was singing about herself, about things she liked and disliked and then she said: And my favourite thing…chichi. It was so cute I could melt.

It was interesting that Eden got its song performed by Sylvia and Henderson. Their voices matched well. 95% was just singing and dancing and it was glorious.

After Anya’s successful exam, we sadly didn’t see Kento Kinouchi become a Female Franky but we saw how Franky was becoming a good uncle. When Loid went to get the stolen papers about the single females after he left Franky kicked the chair in annoyance and it was one of the funniest things I have seen. Kento brought the character to life. Goated performance.

One of the cutest scenes in this arc was Loid passing out after seeing that Anya passed and instead of laying on the ground, we saw him laying on the sofa as the scene moved flawlessly to the mailman coming and realizing Anya has no mama.

Yor appeared before the meeting of course. Kudos to the actresses playing the Horrible trio, this is the 3rd dimension where I don’t like those characters (actresses did great). There was a nice scene of Yor calling Yuri and we saw him striking his head out of the window (RED CHAIR APPEARANCE).

Yor meeting Anya and Loid was magical. The singing, the lil gremlin pulling the strings, the background music. I loved it.

They managed to combine the fighting scene with the party well. I like that we even got to see the car, even though it blinded me.

The proposal was perfect too. I like how the Hermes Bag Yor has made an appearance and after the party, Loid took Yor’s coat and then carried her bag. Precious.

The “ooting” scenes were so well made too. You could feel Loid’s desperation in his voice. Granny came to the rescue tho when she called them a “Wonderful family”.

After that, we had a wonderful song about the SSS. While they were singing about protecting their county, Yuri was singing about the fact that his sister didn’t tell him about her marriage. The song was kino tho.

Act 1 ends before the big interview.

ACT 2:

Act 2 started with a Sylvia song. I stan. Her voice is amazing and we need more Handler songs. We were introduced to the scene with Sylvia’s new jacket and Loid telling her about Anya’a achievements. The execution was on par with the anime.

The highlight of this act was the Eden Interview. I loved Henderson’s performance. It was truly elegant. And yes they did change clothes in 5 seconds it is possible. The interview was following the anime and it was really satisfying to see prof. Henderson punch the “swine” in real life. I wish I could rewind and see it again. Anya’s answers were really cute and the whole theatre was politely laughing (this is Japan after all). Another cool thing was that after we saw Yor thoughts about killing someone so Anya can move up on the Eden waiting list.

Did I mention how surprised I was when I saw the cow on stage? The cow deserves better honesty. I want to compliment Yor’s actress (or the double) for performing gymnastic tricks for us. We were as surprised as Loid.

Yuri coming to the Folgers was another peak event. I loved the whole scene. Especially Yuri calling Loid “LOTTIIEEEEE”. How dare Lottie and Yor try to kiss!? Unforgivable! It was hilarious when Yor was saying: “I forgot to tell you” and “I must have forgotten that I forgot” or something like this, Loid dropped not 1 but 2 plates. The shocked expression of Loid was worth spending money on the musical.

After that, we saw the real MVP of the show, no not Franky, but Bondman. Yeah, Bondman came out of the tiny screen for us. He managed to save Princess Honey.

Coincidently after Yuri fiasco, we were introduced to Fiona. It is the same as in the manga but it was funny to see the following convo:

>You should conceal your emotions

>So I should have a poker face all the time

>That’s not what I meant

Fiona’s actress was wonderful. I loved her performance. Fiona singing about how much she loves Loid was a bit weird. “Senpai SUKIIIIIIII” appeared and it was executed perfectly. The scene with Anya saying how much she loves Yor was adorable.

The act’s ending was shifted to the castle episode. Franky being an instigator was amazing especially when he tried to talk like Anya. We got to see a really neat fight between Yorticia and Loid. Evil Franky was precious.

The musical ended with the grand final performance, a song mirroring the opening one about “Phase 2” (Phase 2 of Operation Strixxx that is). Everyone joined it and it was so good. Kudos to all singers, back performers and the orchestra. They all did an amazing job. The whole musical was one of a kind. It was amazing and I had really good time.

[smilesrobotlover]

I’ve read most of the mangas so I think I’m gonna rank them all since nobody asked for it. I haven’t read the tp manga just yet and I’m not including the skyward sword Hyrule hystoria manga for the sake of my sanity (and the mangas that are one story separated into two books are counted as one except for oracle of ages and seasons)

1. Four sword- the characters are so fun and are great to play around with. Shows perfectly how important characters are to a story. They had to give each Link a defining personality different from each other and the way they bounce off each other was just so much fun. Not to mention the dynamic with shadow was interesting and adding a father to Link was also fun to read. And I was fond of this Zelda! A more sweet character but could also roast you if needed. I liked how she fought with her words more than anything else.

2. Oracle of ages- again, great character dynamics and a very interesting story! It wasn’t the damsel in distress trope so it was more refreshing to read than the others. And sir raven is just… a perfect man. Also Impa my beloved

3. Majoras Mask- the way this was written was so beautiful. The weird spookiness from the game was perfectly captured (for this being released without playing the game, that’s impressive) and the story was so… sad yet wonderful. The emphasis on loss and death just kinda makes it somber. And Skull kid’s backstory legitimately makes me want to cry everytime I read it. Poor kid :( the ending was epic too, gosh I loved watching Link put on the FD mask and going ape 💩 cuz of the righteous anger he feels towards majora, and him condemning the Happy mask salesman was also nice. You can tell this Link matured from oot. Also Kafei and Anju were so pure.

4. Oracle of seasons- I really enjoyed the beginning of this! Sometimes the mangas are so short that everything feels incredibly rushed and chaotic but this one was more chill! I mean, we saw Link hang out with the traveling performers for a while, a lot longer than I expected, and it really helped the pacing a lot. I also liked the characters Link hung out with. Ricky, Maple, and the chicken had fun dynamics! Overall, much better pacing than the others.

5. Ocarina of time- this one was pretty great, I loved how Sheik was written, he was the most interesting part of the story imo. I also loved Link, very kind and gentle but sometimes mischievous and just a great guy. Very determined. My only issue is how Zelda was written. I loved her in the beginning wanting to be a normal little girl, but naturally, as any Zelda with an alter ego, she fell short compared to Sheik, who was fantastic. And these stories can’t go 5 seconds without a damsel in distress so. But I liked it! And I liked the side characters! The whole Lon Lon ranch thing was fun too! Also Impa my ABSOLUTE beloved

6. Phantom hourglass- A more simple story but a fun one. Loved Ciela and Linebeck’s dynamic and the style was so fun. Also the ending was better written than the game imo. This is the only licensed Nintendo thing made that didn’t do tetra DIRTY. She was the girlboss she was meant to be, and tho she needed to be saved, she had a much different personality than the other Zelda’s so it felt less redundant. And not to mention, she acted more like a capable captain in the end and it was SO GOOD. I also personally liked that Bellum went after the ocean king, that was a cool scene too see. Shame it ended so quickly. My only issue is not enough Dadbeck 😔

7. Minish cap- this one was pretty fun! But I wasn’t a huuuuge fan of how Link was written. But he was tiny the entire time and it was adorable, and the ending was so bittersweet . Also Minish Vaati was adorable, honestly all the Minish were adorable. There’s just not a lot to say about it tho. Nothing really stuck out to me. Zelda had the same personality as every other Zelda so not much to say about her either.

8. A Link to the Past- not the best story. It’s not a rereadable story and it’s kinda boring. I adore Link’s personality and lbl legend is based after him, but the other characters were more eh. I liked the thief girl a little. But my biggest gripe was Zelda. I feel like Zelda’s in these mangas are all written the same but she’s written differently in a bad way. Apparently she was made more soft for romance but that just made her flat, boring, and also annoying. There were a lot of interesting characteristics to be done with her personality tho, but it wasn’t done. Which is a shame. But I did like the ending. It was very sweet (again, Link is an absolute sweetheart).

#hope y’all enjoyed this BDKSHSKSHK #zelda manga #smiles rambles #oracle of ages manga #oracle of seasons manga #four swords manga #majoras mask manga #ocarina of time manga #phantom hourglass manga #minish cap manga #a link to the past manga #akira himekawa #the stuff she’s done is incredible I cannot deny that #her art style is incredible #also she invented the Rito before the Rito were a thing can we just talk about that l #lol #legendofzelda #legend of zelda #legend of zelda manga

[xena3queen]

Xena (my beloved) I'd love to hear your Botw Zelda and Sheik thoughts

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don’t even know how to answer this lol. This is going to be long. I just love them so much. I’ll start with Botw Zelda. I just love that she’s realistic and during a lot of the cutscenes I find that I either have said the things she said or would have said. And I also relate to her because she never thinks she is good enough but tries so hard like she passed out in freezing waters trying to unlock her powers. And then right when she needs it the most it comes like same I’ve let people (mostly myself) down but when it’s needed I can do it. And then she goes and fights Ganon for a hundred years like WOW queen I love her. I could probably say more but moving on to Sheik idek why I love him but like I’m obsessed with him. I almost always play as them in hyrule warriors and ever since I first learned about how Zelda “disguised” herself as a boy in ocarina of time I just loved him. Like especially in the manga how he keeps saving Link and definitely has a crush on him. And his song written by NateWantsYoBattle like I know all the words. And all his quotes in OoT are amazing. I don’t even know how to explain it like I don’t relate to him too much other then I headcannon him as Acespec like I am. But like idk he’s amazing I can’t explain it. If you (or anyone) want any specific headcannons on either of them or anyone else I’d be happy to answer them. There are also other characters I either relate to a lot or is just obsessed with but these are the main 2 then all of the four swords links idk. Thank you for the ask and for going reading this because it was probably hard. :)

Fandom: Zelda (any game or manga!)

•Blorbo

•Scrimblo Bimblo

I realize in hindsight that I'm pretty bad at naming faves of any kind, but I'll try

--

-Blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Phew, well I guess it'd have to be Chancellor Cole? I guess just by nature he'd have some poor little meow meow and glup shitto energy too, but I can't deny the fact that I've prolly thought about him the most?

And well, of course he's kinda my scrimblo bimblo, too

-

And another slightly less underrated blorbo I oughta mention is Vaati, I guess, he gets pretty close to Cole.

-

As for a more standard blorbo, I also spend a lot of time thinking about OoT!Link, but I barely ever talk about him, cause like, well, everybody is always saying everything that could possibly be said about him anyway, so the thought of even attempting to add to the convo feels overwhelming.

So I just think about him in silence.

Building an entire headcanon/AU-verse that is slowly being unrecognizeable compared to the source material.

As you do.

--

- Scrimblo Bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Like I said above, Cole could probably fill this role, too. I think it’s notable that even among fans of Spirit Tracks specifically, Cole tends to be unpopular. (But hey, it depends!)

Vaati also can generally feel this way, because even among fans of his, a lot of it is mostly based on Minish Cap and/or Himekawa’s portrayal, and I personally lean more into the whole package of him, if that makes sense. (But I don’t take issues with others liking what they like!)

-

But man, it’s hard to say, cause a lotta characters are gonna have likers and dislikers, and especially in Zelda people have such strong opinions, you’re rarely gonna feel like a character you like gets the “proper” respect, so to speak.

-

I guess I gotta give a special shout-out to my man Demise here, a character I really like, but for whom I’ve rarely see anything but disdain. (But that could easily be on me for lack of trying to find anything.)

You could argue that there isn’t much substance to Demise outside of things you can imagine yourself when reading between lines and interpreting stuff to suit your needs, but I feel the same holds true for many other, greatly beloved characters in franchise (a lot of Zelda can be like that by nature).

So I think Demise kinda doesn’t deserve some of the bad rep he gets in that regard. (But it’s still cool if you dislike him!)

I could talk about him a lot, but perhaps it’s best if I didn’t :^P

-

I’ll also take that manga bait and mention: Watt!

Link’s companion from the Ran Maru Zelda manga is a really fun character, who I think deserves to be more well-known as one of the cool manga-only characters.

I don’t know if he was the first time Link was ever depicted with a companion (and I wouldn’t wonder if he wasn’t), but he’s pretty great, especially for a character who was created pre-Adventure of Link.

As a more cynical and materialistic foil to Link, he almost feels similar to some of the post-Navi companions who joined Link later on in the games.

And those are often praised for their more stand-out personalities (and I don’t really disagree), but it’s funny to see how Watt did a lot of that in the 80s already.

[semercury]

my dude, my beloved Sara, i must know: fave loz game?

well first of all, i’m a fake gamer girl, so like. i have never played a video game in my life. i have no authority on anything. actually, i have played a video game. i was being silly. but real talk, i’ve never beaten any zelda game all the way bc i’m really dumb hghfldksj.

there’s a lot that are special to me for lots of reasons. a link to the past was the first zelda game i ever had. it was that gba four swords combo. i was terrible at it. i bought a guide for it and followed it religiously bc i didn’t know what i was doing. i had a friend help me with some dungeons bc i was small and stupid and very afraid. four swords is also special to me for similar reasons. i have very fond memories of playing multiplayer with my friend and my brother.

ocarina of time is of course a classic and i’m very fond of it for the lore and setting. i eventually got the virtual console of it for the wii a long time ago and played maybe half of it. but there was a summer that my brother and i sat in front of the family computer and watched a guide/walkthrough of the whole game on youtube from a guy at zeldadungeon dot net. i also read some of the manga for it that my brother bought. i know it has its faults and it didn’t age the best graphically, but like i said, from a lore standpoint i really like it. a very simple and straightforward hero’s journey.

i have such a soft spot for twilight princess for the atmosphere and the world. it starts off so normal. i know it’s kinda slow, but i really really like just chilling in the town and seeing people and really feeling like this is a home for link. like he’s not some stranger or outcast, he’s not some rando whose uncle died, he just lives there. he has a horse. he has a job. he has a girl who teases him and there’s that awkward we’re-totally-not-flirting dancing the fine line between friends and something more thing going on with her. the village kids look up to him and think he’s the bee’s knees. and honestly for that alone i love it. it has heart. it has soul.

and of course i’m a slut for breath of the wild. the moment i saw that big open world with beautiful graphics... bruh. i know it’s cliche to say it feels alive, but it does. all the side quests are so fun and the different outfits and you can cook? and you can get horses?? and just all the little easter eggs you find... i love it. i love botw link and how it fleshes out his character and the relationships he has with everyone he meets. it tugs at my heart. i like it a lot.

i’m... really bad at picking favorites hhglfkjdls. i literally listed off all the main zelda games i’ve had experience actually playing like the cop out answer it is (i’ve also played phantom hourglass and spirit tracks and i just hhglfkjds. they’re good, don’t get me wrong, but they don’t live up to everything else. oh, and a link between worlds but that’s just... alttp but a little to the left.) it’s definitely probably between tp and botw, just bc i’m so story and character driven. i think the reason oot felt more alive to me is bc i read up on the lore and the manga and stuff when the actual game itself is more generic with the storytelling (saria staring at you blankly on the bridge as you run away and she’s just playing the bruh_2.wmv like... but in my head it was this bigger thing bc of other stuff lol).

this is a very long response for not even having a real answer, sorry hhglfkjdlksj

Warriors Tag

Original from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW2xOJX9Wzo

This was created by butterflyidentity and I thought this was a cool thing. So I decide to put this on tumbler with the blessing from butterflyidentity

1. How did you get into Warriors?

I got into Warriors when I was in middle school and I was looking for a book to read at Walmart. Where I found and brought the book Fire and Ice. I love it but I was confused about well a lot of things, so then I got Into the Wild. And that’s hook on Warriors and I give the Erin's all of my money.

2. Favorite Arc

Here comes the hate because my favorite is Power of Three.  I like the characters and the mystery of the new prophecy. There also a big theme of family that I like during this arc and I find really enjoyable. ^^

3. Favorite Book (excluding mangas, super editions, novellas)

More hate that may come my way because my favorite book is the Last Hope. The like that clan's version of heaven and hell fights with living. Also, Firestar’s and Tigerstar’s character arcs finally come full circle. In fact, a lot of character development come full circle. Which one the reasons I like it. 

4. Favorite Super Edition, Novella, or Manga

Tallstar’s Revenge, mostly because it took me by surprise how good it was. See the thing is when these Super Editions come out I was more looking forward to Bluestar's Prophecy and Crookedstar’s Promise then Tallstar’s one. But when I read I was surprised. I didn’t know that problems that Tallstar had were pretty new to the series and the character was so likable. 

5. Favorite Clan

SKYCLAN! SKYCLAN!

Yeah I know they’re silly and they live so far away from the clans that they barely interact with them. But I don’t care. They’re so different from the clans that I actually like reading their books. And now they actually back into the plot in the new arc. :D

6. Favorite Character

Oh, that’s the hard question. My favorites are Yellowfang, Squirrelflight, Hollyleaf, Sharpclaw, Hawkwing, and Alderheart. Now you might be thinking that’s a weird list of cats. Well let me explain:

Yellowfang like her because I like her backstory and her personally. It was rare back in the day(still) that a mother will go fight against her son that was rotten to the core. What she goes through and still could keep it together was so incepting. And her death was so sad especially after she said she wanted her son to be more like Fireheart. 

As for Squirrelflight she just makes me happy. She also has really nice character development in the series. She went from being an annoying apprentice to one of the best Thunderclan deputies.

Hollyleaf I like for character development. Like the other main characters in Warrior at the time were always the good guys and they don’t do no wrong. Sure Bambleclaw had that arc with his father but it kinda seems out of place. Hollyleaf it’s the character I feel that a ‘grey’ character. Like she really only cares about her clan, family, and the warrior code.

Sharpclaw I like because he’s really good deputy and warrior to his clan. Even if that’s going against his leader but like Firestar, he just wants what best for his clan.

Hawkwing I feel like have really good development from his book. He went from hot-head to a really good clam deputy. It actually both funny and inspiring.

7. Least Favorite Character

Beside villains that you're supposed to hate like Tigerstar and Darktail. But while I don’t hate him, I dislike Ashfur. Just the whole realized that he went mad because Squirrelflight didn’t want to be his mate. And no, Squirrelflight didn’t lead him on. She just wanted to be a friend but Ashfur didn’t want that. So he tries to kill her kits and got into to Starclan because fans were sad by his death. This just rubs me in all the wrong places...

8. Most Aesthetically Pleasing Cat

That depends on how you draw them because there are no official designs. But if we going off what the guide tells us then I like Tawnypelt design, and Ashfur.

9. Favorite Leader

This is easy Leafstar, Bluestar, Tallstar, and Mistystar. Just because I feel like those leaders are really good because they always trying to make the decisions but always second guesses themselves. But they willing to take charge.

10. Favorite Villain

Well you see I like a villain who is either complex or ‘fun’ And really not one of them are really fun or that complex. They try with Tigerstar’s past and Breezepelt’s relationship with his father. But Breezepelt was not hurting his father but his mother and friend. Who he actually like.  And Tigerstar made a really good one in his book, there were these voices in his head and his father left him a very young age. When I heard about I was going billet!  Then we find out later that it was Mapleshade that was doing that to Tigerstar. That was huge disappoint with me.

So I guess the only villain I like is the new one Darktail. He shows a lot of promise of tricking both Shadowclan and Skyclan into trusting him. Hopefully, this villain won’t disappointed.

11. Favorite Medicine Cat

Yellowfang. Her backstory, her character development, and her relationship were work really well. But when in POT and OOTS she a bit of bitch. But overall I like her because of her flaws and her death was one of the saddest one in the series.

12. Overrated Character

I have to say Breezepelt. Just the fandom always making excuses for him for all the bad things he was done.

13. Underrated Character

I think Dovewing. Like if you look at the Warrior fandom she doesn't have much love as Ivypool. Plus I feel she gets a lot of hate for all the wrong reasons. People like her for the woobie. The jersey sister instead of brave cat that spy on the Dark Forest.

14. Favorite Minor Character

Sorreltail and Ferncloud. I like mother characters.

15. Favorite Pairing

Firestar and Sandstorm, and Bramblestar and Squirrelflight. I feel like their relationship was developing more realistic. Then the side characters have hints and then later boom kits, without actually character development.

16. Least Favorite Pairing

Crowfeather and Leafpool. They were to act like teenagers that think they know the true meaning of love but don’t. And it’s no wonder it falls apart like it did.

17. Favorite Friendship

Got to hand to Graystripe and Firestar. They have been through everything together. In fact, I ship sometimes.

18. Favorite Moment

Oh boy, this was a hard question. There are a lot of great moments in the Warrior series. But I think the ending the Sunset was really good. It was like the first really bad ending for a Warrior arc. The Last Hope was actually really good. Everything comes together at the end and the huge epic battle between Starclan, Place of No Stars, and the clans were really good. So yeah, those two are my favorite.

19. Most Tragic Death

Stonefur, Yellowfang, and Hollyleaf. All three deaths I didn’t see coming. All deaths were beloved characters from both story and the fans. All death could be been avoided at one point. Even in case of Hollyleaf and Yellowfang would have to kill Ivypool and Bramblekit would have died. So yeah, those stuck with me.

20. Favorite Battle / Fight Scene

The battle between the Dark Forest vs The Four Clans and Starclan. Great action, drama, and nice set off for some of the characters.
