Still playing botw bc my copy of totk still isn't here and I'm just. Wandering around gerudo town looking at shit

And every time I notice the small colour differences in the uniforms of the guards my brain just looks back at the big long colour theory in gerudo culture post/headcanons i had on an rp blog from way back when and just. Squint suspiciously.

#and to be FAIR. i got a lot of inspiration for that from stuff in a fic by rosezemlya #shaped a huge part of my headcanons with the gerudo rbqh #tbqh* #so then i just look at that and squint even MORE suspisciously #*jokingly* nintendo are u poaching ur fans ideas #I MEAN..... I M E A N...... #look at the flying machines in totk...... we all know where they got that from. #we all know they watch the vids #whos to say they dont read the fics or check up on other shit #i am. kidding. mostly. #but also who knows

I need to revisit this one. A possible book cover for the Warden's Return. @rosezemlya 's project to convert her fanfictions into original novels. With my newer painting skills, would be fun to retread.

Is the Gerudo King subject to the ranks? And if so, what color is Link?

Conveniently enough, someone recently reblogged the previous post where I covered this (as a corollary to the ask) so I actually have the reference for once to point to: https://www.tumblr.com/rosezemlya/624445592060526592/what-are-all-of-the-gerudo-ranks-and-what-are

Naturally, THAT post begins with the usual "I swear I've answered this before but I can't find it now, so here we go again...". Go figure.

In a summarized answer, the King is not subject to the ranks except that "Son of the Wind" is a rank unto itself. It's just that there's only one, very specific person who can hold it. The King can wear whatever colours he likes - they commonly wear white, back through history. And they often try to incorporate a little bit of all the colours, depending on their mood and who they're favouring or not or etc within the context of the Fortress' politics.

So Link doesn't have a colour. But if he did, he'd almost certainly be a red (with the caveat noted in the linked post that there's a splash of green there, too).

#Ironically if he weren't the Hero and weren't the Son and weren't at the centre of a dozen divine trinities of various kinds #Link probably WOULDN'T have made the White #But he would have been at the top of the Red for sure #loz rr

rabbiraccoon asked: I'd really love a drabble or two with Ruto. She's always fascinated me the most

[Redirected this ask from my main blog to here!]

“We could have done this in Zora’s domain, you know,” she says primly, without losing a single degree from the sharpness of the attention she is paying to the cut of the jacket I am wearing.  She reaches out and gently tugs at the bottom of it, pulling it tighter against my shoulders and unbunching it from around my chest.  “Tailors exist in places other than Castletown.”

“We could have,” I agree, “but then you would have also mademe do other things.  Like attend state dinners or listen to speeches or give speeches.”  We both give an involuntary shudder at the image that conjures, so I retract that one immediately.  “Okay, maybe not even you would make me give a speech.”

“I like it when you attend state dinners,” Ruto replies.  She makes a gesture that can – naturally – only be described as imperious and I obediently turn around for her to consider the front of the jacket.  “I know my people seem very prim and proper to you, but there are elapids among us, and it doesn’t hurt for me to remind them every now and then that I count the Hero of Time among my allies.”

“Ruto,” I say, and pull her hand away from my jacket to clasp it between mine.  “It means the world to me that you are upfront with me about the ways in which you wish to use me.  I understand I have difficulty sounding sincere sometimes, but I mean that with every fibre of my being.”  I do, I really do.  “But your state dinners are extremely boring.  I cannot even get up to the usual sorts of trouble at them.  And they are the sort of thing where if I go to one of yours, Zelda will immediately want to know whyn I was willing to do that, and behave myself, but I can’t go to one of hers without getting into a fight.  And there’s no way to explain to her that I try to get into fights at yours, but literally nobody will fight me.  I openly called that guy out that one time and he just looked baffled and kind of wandered away.”

“We,” says Ruto with a hint of national pride, “are not barbarians.  This jacket isn’t working, try the next one.”

“You don’t think it’s the pants?” I ask, not for the first time.

“No, I like the pants,” she replies, also not for the first time.  “Not everything needs to beleggings, Link.  Switch the jacket.”

I turn and the tailor is already there, army of assistants waiting eagerly behind her, arms loaded with alternate options.  “Do you have—”

“No green!” Ruto cuts me off immediately, and there is no way I’m going to get anybody to listen to me with her in the room.  “I told you. We’ll do a flash of it.  A pop.  It’ll stand out more.  Trust me.” I think, once again, of my beloved hat, but resist the anxious urge to ask the question.  Mostly because I know what the answer is going to be.

The tailor and her assistants quickly confer and then produce another jacket.  This one has less frills, which I appreciate, and more colour, which I feel favourably toward.  If I can’t wear my usual stuff, I will at the very least be as loud visually as I am vocally.  I take it from the tailor, ignoring her displeasure that I won’t let her put it on me herself.  “Also,” I say, turning back to Ruto, “Acqul always kind of gets this look on his face when we dance, like, he’s still the nicest person in the world, but also, he’s contemplating the many ways he knowsn how to kill a man in his sleep.”

“Mmm,” says Ruto, and it’s practically a purr.  “I know you’ll have trouble believing this, because he’s unreasonably fond of you and therefore a kitten with you, but he’s one of the elapids I mentioned.”

“I don’t know what that means,” I tell her amiably.

“Poisonous sea snake,” she clarifies.  “They will write books about his rise to general someday if I have to make them do it myself.  It was a thing of strategic, political beauty.”

“Match made in heaven then,” I say, and the smile she gives me is both radiant and positively wicked.

“Anyway, I like spending time with you, Ruto,” I tellher.  “It’s different when you’re Queen of the Zoras and I’m the Hero of Time or the King of the Gerudo or whatever.  I like when we’re just us, and Castletown is one of the only places where we can do that. Because you’re not surrounded by all your royal everything, and everyone here still knows me as the kid from the archery shop.”  I gesture to the outfit I am wearing, which is generally blue themed, and definitely formal, and involves at least three layers of clothing, most of which I don’t know the names for.  “Do you think there is literally anybody else in any of the worlds to which I have access that I would let talk me into a shopping trip and dressing like this?  I don’t even let Zelda do this for me.”

Ruto, naturally, is pleased by this.  “She owes me a thank you card for this one,” she says, giving me her wordless command to spin again.  “This is coming together quite nicely, if I do say so myself.”

“She’ll send you a fruit basket, I’m sure,” I say, and it’smostly not sarcastic.  I frown at my reflection in the mirror – which looks, unfortunately, very good right now – and screw up my courage enough to finally ask, “About my hat, though…”

“Is it your birthday party, or her birthday party?” Ruto asks, with just vicious precision.

Poisonous sea snakes, indeed.

I've been meaning to share this picture for like a month. A long time ago Rosezemlya made me an honorary Canadian, despite the fact that I've never visited a Tom Horton's. But now I have. So yea. Thanks Rose!

Spent the better part of my weekend binge reading LoZ: Reconciliation by @rosezemlya from the start and I can never get enough of this universe! This was my first time REALLY catching up since 2012; even though I read The Return almost annually at this point, I just never had the brain space to reread all of Reconciliation over a reasonable period of time (which is silly considering how much I love it). Im no less invested than I was when first discovering these stories almost 15 years ago, though, and I’m sure it’ll stay that way for years to come.

#also um hi sorry I have still been drawing stuff I just always ALWAYS forget to post here #still not totally satisfied w these though one day the images in my head will better match the ones on paper grrrr #loz rr #loz #sketch #fanart

[airplanned]

Hey there! I’m so happy to have just found your blog and stories! Thanks for writing them! I hope it’s ok to ask but have you ever read any of RoseZelma’s works, her LoZ Return/Reconciliation series??? I think you’d love it!! Im so excited to find another active LoZ fic writer, and just wanted to share! Have a great day! :)

Hey, @rosezemlya! They're bragging about you!

I have read that. It's good times. I feel like their treatment of the Gerudo and the Sheikah really steered the fandom in a better direction.

(Anon, do you want fic recs? Because I am in no way a lonely active fic writer. This place is popping. Actually! Everybody who wants to rec stuff, do it in the notes.)

rosezemlya replied to your post: rosezemlya replied to your post: ...

I have, but I didn’t even think of it! :( Oh well. Now I guess I can loan it to people when I’m done.

-It’s okay rose. Maybe next time :3-  But for real, I think this is going to be a treat for you. There is... a lot of world building in this game that I’ve never seen from a nintendo title in years. YEARS. DECADES even.

-THAT IS ALL I WILL SAY-

I've been hearing a lot about ff,net disappearing. Is there someplace I can find R&R etc if/when that happens? They're your works, so I understand if you don't want to repost them anywhere—I just thought I'd ask, since I love your writing dearly and will miss those works when they're gone.

For sure! LoZ RR is already cross-posted at Ao3, where you can find me under the same username here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/rosezemlya/works

Someday I'll get off my butt and take some of the extra bits and bobs from tumblr here and throw them up there as well. And anything new I might write in the future will also get posted there!

And if I were to ever take them down off third-party hosted sites, odds are high that I would throw them up on my own website somewhere so they would still be accessible! My intent is definitely not to remove them from the Internet. :)
