#so many bunny Legends in two days

[bluevaractyl]

here he is!

OH YES I have seen him but I am so glad to see him again. He is wonderful <3 <3 <3

Finally got my materials so I've started practicing embroidery. Tricky but fun. The video you shared has been a good place to start. Is this mostly satin stitch?

In the Hybrid AU, would Gojo be a rabbit or another cat hybrid? Because you’ve got Rabbit Gojo who’s using his cute looks to his advantage but also secretly horny all the time and wants to breed little cute bunnies inside you. Then you’ve got Catoru, who’s the pamper type who loves making mischief and knocking things off the table just for funnsies.

Yes, Avy and I talked about this a few weeks back, and came to a consensus that he’d definitely be a bunny! (pampered Catoru gives me fuzzy feelings too. Because he’s pretty like one of those persian cats with blue eyes.) I do think it’s funny that baby rabbits are called kits/kittens, too.

+breeding, dubious consent, hybrids, fem!reader

Gojo’s a smart and silly little bun bun, who definitely uses his cuteness to get what he wants! He may have an adorable twitchy nose, whiskers, and fuzzy ears. His bouncing around during JJK 0 is his version of zoomies, which is what tricked you into taking him home.

Yet, he causes nothing but trouble. Digging through stuff around the house, constantly eating your snacks, bothering your curtains and sheets, and taunting the neighbors’ dogs. You thought you were getting a sweet, innocent bunny, not Bugs Bunny.

If he can’t work his way out of something on his own, he’s confident his luck will get him out of any trouble he causes. Always laughing away the problem because he has “lucky rabbit’s feet”.

He loves it when you scratch the top of his head and groom him. He’s super-fast and can fight well, so you don’t have to worry about him getting into fights with other hybrids. In fact, wolf-dog hybrid Suguru is his best friend.

He really likes sweets and fruits too. Gojo would inhale them if you let him, reminding you of the folklore of rabbits making rice cakes on the moon. With Gojo’s sweet tooth, you can see why it became a legend.

He’s bonded himself to you, so he loves to cuddle up with you for daily naps and tries to groom you. However, he’s really bad about keeping you up during the late hours and early morning when he’s the most awake before sleeping throughout the day like an innocent lil’ fuzzy.

Gojo scent marks you, constantly dragging his chin over your head and against your belongings to let others know you’re a part of his territory. He gets pouty, grumpy, and clingy when you’re around other rabbit hybrids. He also has really bad personal space issues, circling around you and yapping away to get your attention (because he considers you his mate!).

He wants to breed his cute little bunnies in you. He wonders, “How many kits can humans have at one time?” Two? Three? Six? Sometimes those shows on TV have 9! He thinks 6 is a good overall goal number. To start, anyway.

He's going to think about it all day, every day. There's a reason the saying "breed like rabbits exists". He gets so hard thinking about you. You don't even have to do anything. The idea of breeding you with his babies, a daydream of little yous with the same bunny ears as him is enough to make him want to mount you.

You think playing with his fluffy tail, watching it flick back and forth, and rubbing his fuzzy white ears is a cute way to tease him but all you’re doing is working up an already horny mind that was ready to mount you as soon as you rolled out of that bed in the morning.

If you pet him one more time, he’s going to grab you, pull you into his lap, and use his thick legs to part yours. You barely touched your bunny, but he’s already hard and pulling out his dripping cock to breed you. It’s your fault for starting it, doe! And if you try to wiggle away, he thinks you’re just playing a game with him. Weren’t you just grooming him?

Gojo will treat you so well most of the time though. He knows how to use his tongue to groom you, especially down there, and he is aware he has you when you start to make pretty little moans for him. He’ll have you soaking wet and choking up before he thinks about breeding you with his cute little fluffballs. You’re not even going to think about it when he presses his weight against your back, bites hard on your shoulder, and start to thrust like he's possessed.

He’ll keep going into you’re overstimulated and begging for rest, but he keeps his arms wrapped around you to stop all your squirming, begging not just yet, one more time, doe. It’s always one more time with him during his rut. One more orgasm, one more thrust, one more kit--please, please, please, doe--he knows you can.

LU as Friendship Dynamics

Sky and Wild = “supportive rivals”

I love the idea that these two are frenemies, with their bumby friendship slowly smoothing over with time. Sky comes off as sweet and in many ways perfect, while Wild once had a perfect persona 100 years ago but got a lot rougher around the edges after waking up. I feel like even after sorting through what I explored in the story Recovered Regrets, they’d still clash. 

It’s funny how they mirror each other: one had years to train and prepare, the other had less than months. Both versions of the reincarnating evil they fought were arguably at their most powerful. Sky’s quest went near perfectly and he got to forget about it as time past, Wild got it on his second try and can’t forget. Skyloft was untouched by Demise’s influence, Wild’s Hyrule was devastated by Calamity Ganon. First and last in the timeline, both knights. 

[Wild showing Sky how to play snow bowling]

Wild: [misses 2 pins] Shoot!

Sky: Still impressive.

Wild: Yeah well, I’ll get the rest on my next shot!

Sky: Like how you defeated the Calamity on your second try?

Wild: [throws a snowball at his face]

I just want them to take lighthearted jabs at each other and for Wild to bring out sassy Sky. 

Four and Hyrule = “’overthinking this’ and ‘no thoughts, head empty’”

They bounce off each other in consistently surprising and endearing ways. If the chain were to split up in a temple and these two ran into a difficult dungeon puzzle, Four would be drawing all over the floor and walls in chalk trying to figure it out while Hyrule is sat on a ledge next to him swinging his legs patiently.  

Hyrule: You got it yet?

Four: No...but I think I’m close. 

Hyrule: Ok, let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.

Four: Actually, do think you could check this for me?

Hyrule: [squinting at Four’s writing]

Hyrule: Let’s take a break. 

Or if the two would be in a town for something, Four would try to keep them on track, but Hyrule was be forever wondering off and checking things out. But if he ever has to talk to people big brother Four will be there if he gets flustered or awkward. 

Twilight and Legend = “’big soft’ and ‘angry smol’”

So hear me out: monsters are besieging a town and the chain need backup. The town has soldiers, but the town’s Lord has them stationed around his walled fancy home. So Warriors asks Legend and Twilight to threaten persuade him to lend them his forces.  

Legend: [bursting through the doors] I need you to listen to me.

Haughty Lord: [standing up] Why should I even give you the time of day?!

[Twilight emerges behind Legend, sword drawn]

Haughty Lord: [visibly intimidated]

Legend: [crosses arms] Well?

Haughty Lord: [sitting down] Point taken, continue. 

Legend with his sharp tongue would surgically dismantle any argument brought forth by the selfish lord. While Twilight stands next to him, silently discouraging the lord from ordering his goons to ‘escort’ them out with only his ominous presence. Literally all he has to do is stand there. He’s a buff dude in a wolf pellet, no one’s gonna mess with that. 

On the flip side if Legend gets into a petty spat with a villager or street vender then Twilight can diffuse the situation without taking sides. Or just pick up the angry bunny and walk away from the situation.

Thanks for reading!

So. AS!Chain.

Which Links are closest to the others? Who are the new pairs/trios? Legend and Four acting as Twilight and Wild is perfect (especially since the Palace of the Four Sword is a thing 👀)

Thank you for answering and have a wonderful day/night!

It’s super cool you asked this, since I actually started a list of different groups within the chain, and who tends to hang out with who and why!

So, let’s start with the one you mentioned: Legend and Four! Four recognizes Legend’s bunny form, but doesn’t figure out that it’s Legend immediately (but it isn’t long after he sees the bunny when Legend isn’t around that he makes the connection). I elaborate more on that here (though that’s less current day and more how it was during Four’s adventure). Nowadays the two aren’t the closest, especially once Four realizes that those events haven’t happened yet for Legend. Probably for the best considering how many dumb and embarrassing things he would later see Four do…

One big group are the wanderers, which consist of Wild, Hyrule, Four, and Warriors. Wild keeps trying to exile Warriors from the wanderer group for keeping them more on track than they would without him, but it keeps getting vetoed by Four who appreciates that at least one of them will keep them from straying too far. Hyrule flip flops sides, usually depending on whether or not Wars let him investigate the neat thing he saw. It’s all in good fun, and even Warriors makes jokes about Wild’s continued failed attempts to “kick him out of the group”.

Speaking of Wild, he and Sky both love birds, and bond over that. When they’re in Wild’s era, Sky is all over Gustlift (Wild’s loftwing). The giant birds are SO cool, he loves them so much, and Gustlift is very affectionate with Sky (and the others too). When they’re in Sky’s era, Wild is eager to tend to his hens and coo over them just like he does. Everyone thinks they’re crazy for it (Wild is offended because there are plenty of other legitimate reasons to call him crazy, and adoring birds is not one of them).

Wind and Warriors are the new downfall duo. When Wind discovered this, he proceeded to claim that Warriors was his great grandson, which Warriors continues to insist isn’t true (not that Wars really knows much about his bio family/lineage). Despite grumbling about it every time Wind brings it up, Wars is really fond of him (and Proxi is too). Wind also gets the most lenience as far as Wars’ no touching rule goes (though he’s just as likely as anyone else to get hit if he surprises him with it).

Sky, Hyrule, and Time are very close. They knew each other before the others, though if you asked Sky, he’d say he thinks the other two are closer with each other than they are with him. Time is much more likely to show his mischievous side to Sky, who knew him as the kid who put fish in his bedroll every other night and killed monsters with a fishing rod. Hyrule also defaults to Sky or Time when he wants to talk or if he’s stressed out.

Hyrule and Legend are fae buddies. Neither of them are human or Hylian, and their adventures have either made that worse (Hyrule) or were the cause of it in the first place (Legend). That sort of inhumanity is something they can bond over, both in a serious way and a more joking way. Like scaring the hell out of random travelers at night. That’s always a fun activity. (Besides, Legend has come to realize that the Hyrule is the Great Fairy’s ghost that helped him during his journey, in much the same way the Hero’s Shade helped LU Twi).

Time and Twilight are close too, and suspect they may be related to one another (mostly due to an heirloom in Time’s family which is an item belonging to Twi). They’re both a part of the leadership squad, which helps their bond. Oftentimes you’ll see these two standing or sitting next to each other, though they don’t really do it cautiously. There’s a lot of trust between them, and they often spend time just doing their own thing while sitting next to one another. Time also keeps trying to convince Twi to be his drinking buddy when they stop in towns, but his success rate isn’t great.

Speaking of the leadership squad, they’re close too. That consists of Time, Twilight, Warriors, and Wind. They like to play card games in their downtime, though when they play there’s a 50% chance someone is cheating. It’s almost become a part of the games themselves, a competition to see who’s cheating, how they’re doing it, how well they’re hiding it, and if it’s a new technique nobody has used yet. Time is the best at sleight of hand, Wind is known for using his magical items to cheat, Wars is incredible at bluffing, and Twi’s the most likely to get away with it. (Midna and Proxi are not allowed to participate in or assist in the cheating and often go off to do their own thing together while the boys play cards)

Twilight and Warriors are also reading buddies. Twilight was the one who taught Wars how to read, and he picked it up very quickly. He’s broke as hell though, so Twi gets him a new journal and bottle of ink in almost every town they stop at.

Twilight and Wild bonded at first because Wolfie reminded Wild of his loftwing. Once Twi revealed he was Wolfie, Wild still saw a lot of similarities. Their attitudes are pretty similar, they both watch out for him in particular, and they feel like family. Wild, in turn, reminds Twilight of the rambunctious kids in his hometown, who are like brothers to him.

Time and Sky are both happily married (well, Sky is just engaged so far, but it’s close enough) and talk about their homes and their wife/fiancée often. Sky in particular is eager to get back; he really misses her and wishes he could get a break from all the chaos. Time misses his wife too, but he knows how to handle it and is more than happy to be an outlet for Sky to vent about it or talk about Sun.

Speaking of relationships, Four, Twilight, and Legend have the “my boy/girlfriend is a little odd” club. Four is dating Shadow, who quite literally lives in his shadow and was created in his image by the calamity. Weird origin story for a romantic relationship, and he knows it. Twilight has Midna, his tiny invisible minish girlfriend who loves to both help the group and cause everyone problems for fun. Legend, meanwhile, has a 10 ft long mermaid girlfriend (Marin) and is having a great time making fun of everyone else in the club after they made fun of him first.

Twilight and Legend both have animal forms and bond over that. After both their forms are revealed, Twi can occasionally be seen as a wolf with a little pink bunny on his back. Legend will absolutely deny this happens at any cost (Twilight won’t confirm anything but won’t deny it either).

Four and Wild often bond over food and neurodivergency. They’re the cooks of the group and often make dinner together, sharing recipes and ingredients and stories over the cooking pot. As for the neurodivergency, Wild has a lot of adhd and sees a lot of his own struggles in Four. Whether Four has it or not is up for debate, but the way his disharmony with the colors presents in a way that Wild finds really relatable. The cause may not be the same, but the symptoms are similar and they bond over that.

I’m sure there’s many other little connections that could be made, but those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head!

[lu-twilight-is-best-boy]

Hello Twilie! I wanted to make a suggestion but as I was scrolling through your ,will write and will not write, sections I realized that there was no mention of wether your okay with people asking for poly relation ships or not.

If you are okay with it, can I request a guide-like fem!Reader with Legend and Ravio? It’s romantic and reader is a huge book nerd (she owns a book or potions shop???? IDK)

If you aren’t ok with it than you can ignore this ask.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this ask, Remember to drink water and rest well today.

Hi 👋 😃 also I am perfectly okay with writing poly relationships (I am poly myself actually) so I was super excited when I seen this request 😄, also I have updated my Info Post (you can find it here) to include more stuff(like poly relationships for example) so it will hopefully be more helpful to people anyways thanks for the ask, i tried to the best of my ability to follow your request as much as possible, also I've never written anything with Ravio before so he maybe a teeny tiny bit out of character, but I hope you enjoy it

Warnings: does fluff count?, cuteness, writer attempting at something cute and romantic, poly relationship, fem reader, reader is a good witch/sorceress who owns a store, reader calls Legend link, not proofread(I've been trying to get in contact with my friend who proofreads things for me but I wasn't able to)

Summary: you run a shop in the town close to the house you share with Legend and Ravio, selling everything from books to herbs to potions you name it you probably have it, and on this particular day your two favorite customers stop by to do some shopping

You looked out the window of your shop while leaning on the counter as you watched people walk by if you were being honest with yourself today was kind of a slow day you haven't had very many customers today outside of maybe the occasional old lady or gentleman needing something for their aches and pains as well as the occasional mother coming in because her child or baby had a stomach ache or needed something to help them sleep better at night honestly if it wasn't for those you probably wouldn't have had any business at all today.

You we're about to leave the counter to tidy up and organize the shelves of your little shop when as you turned your head away from the window out of the corner of your eye you caught a glimpse of something purple with something blue next to it and smiled, you turned around and went back to your spot leaning against the counter.As the door to your shop opened with a jingle because of the bell hanging above the top of the door and your two favorite customers (*cough* boyfriends *cough*) in all of Hyrule walked in Ravio was his usual happy chatty self chattering away at Legend who had his arms crossed and was looking at Ravio as if he could will the purple clad male to stop talking just by staring at him Ravio as usual ignored the look Legend was giving him and continued talking, while Legend's usual sullen mood had changed to one of slight amusement.

"Alright Ravio calm down" Legend said as he entered the shop completely, "aye aye Mr. Hero" Ravio replied with a mock salute

You giggle at Ravio's antics before you smile and wave as you greet the two "hello Legend, Ravio, how are you both doing today?"

"Fine, a little tired from all the training I've been doing lately but I suppose it's only normal after all the excitement and all" Legend replies with a slight smile Ravio nods his bunny hood bobbing with the action "yep Mr. Hero has been working really hard" He says with a wink and a tilt of his head towards you

Before he runs off to gather the herbs he needs to make his oil, leaving Legend at the counter with you

Legend rolls his eyes as Ravio runs around the shop gathering herb after herb, he shakes his head and then turns back to you

"He's been like this all day" you laugh and smile "that's Ravio for ya, so Link i can see what Ravio came for but what about you what do need"

"I need some healing potions and maybe a new book since I've finished reading the last one already"

"I see, well let me go get the potions for you and i'll be right back, okay?"

Legend nods in response as you head towards the back to get the healing potions that Legend needs as he goes to look for a new book. You quickly grab the healing potions and start heading back to the counter when you hear Ravio's voice calling to you.

"____!"

"Yeah Ravio?."

"Me and Mr. Hero have something to ask you when you get done!"

You feel your ears perk up "Me? What do you want to ask me?"

"Ah ah ah ____, you have to wait tell you get done, we're customers right now and Mr. Hero is waiting at the counter" Ravio says with a giggle

You sigh and roll your eyes, sometimes you swear that he does things like this on purpose "fine, just tell me after you have everything you need"

"You got it ____!" Ravio calls out as he goes back to running around and grabbing herbs, you get back to the counter where Legend is waiting. You place the healing potions on the counter and lean against it with a sigh as Legend sets a book down next to the potions "that all you getting this time Link?" Legend nods "yeah, I'm going to wait for Ravio to get done before i buy everything" you smile at Legend "that's fine!, probably be easier that way anyways you both get done with your shopping at the same time, and I get to find out what you both wanted to talk to me about" you say the last part of your sentence while leaning closer towards Legend "hmm" he replies as Ravio comes running to the counter and places all of the herbs that he grabbed down onto the counter

"Alright so Link's things are first, so eight healing potions at 28 Rupees a pace plus the book is 48 Rupees, let's 100 Rupees yeah?" You say as you hold out your hand for payment but Legend frowns "That's not right it should be 266 Rupees not 100"

"normally it would be but you get the special boyfriend discount" you reply and giggle as Legend's face turns a little pink with a blush as he hands you the Rupees you requested, "what about me? Do i get the special boyfriend discount?" Ravio asks while pushing the herbs forward, you giggle again "yes Ravio you get the discount to, which means your normal 100 Rupees purchase is now 30 Rupees"

"Thank you so much ____!" Ravio says as he hands you the Rupees, you take them and put them away with the rest before walking around the counter so it was no longer separating you from your boyfriends

"So what is it you to wanted to tell me, i mean Ravio did say i would find out when i was done and i am done now" you ask Legend "so are you going to tell me?"

"I suppose so" Legend says "we were wondering if you could close up the shop early and come home, maybe we could sit under the tree behind the house and read or just relax"

"Sure!, I can close up shop and go home early, it's no problem!" You say smiling as you run of to tidy up just a little extra bit before closing up the shop

"That's Great!" Ravio says as he begins to gather all of the herbs that he bought off of the counter and walks outside with Legend as you lock the door to your shop "so let's get going then, you ready to go home ____?" You run over to Legend and Ravio who are waiting just a little ways away from the door to your shop as you step between them and grab Legends hand in your left and Ravio's in your right "yes I'm ready the shops all locked up!" You say as you begin to walk away from the shop, leading the two of them along the road. You and your boyfriends follow the road from the store all the way out of town and to the house where you live, you all chatted and laughed during the walk as you enjoyed each others company and it was nice to have the time to do so, especially with Legend prone to running off and going on adventures where you and Ravio might not see or hear from him for months at a time, so the time that the three of you did spend together was a nice break from what has become routine.

When you arrive at the house you live in, you all go around to the back where you find the tree that Legend wanted to relax under. Only for you to gasp in surprise at the picnic that Ravio and Legend had set up under the tree before going and getting you. "What do you think of it?" Legend asks as he watches you, he's now sitting down on the picnic blanket and props his feet up on a small rock that juts out from the tree

"Do you like our surprise ____?" Ravio asks as he guides you over to sit down between him and Legend

"Of course I like it, it's lovely!" you reply as you lean back against Ravio and Legend moves to lie down with his head in your lap, "You two made this for me?"

"We wanted to surprise you with something nice" Legend says while stroking his thumb across the back of your hand and looking up at you. "Yeah!, we love you ____!" Ravio says as he leans forward slightly and places a kiss on your cheek

"I love you both too!" you say smiling as you lean forward and give Legend a quick peck on the lips then you turn and do the same to Ravio before leaning back against Ravio again and resting your hand on Legend's chest "This is nice, being able to relax here with the two of you, it makes me feel really happy" you say while looking up at the clouds as Legend reads his new book out loud for you and Ravio "we love being able to relax with you to ____!, right Mr. Hero?" Ravio says while running his hand through your hair

"Yeah, it makes a nice change from running around looking for monsters" Legend says while continuing to read his book.

You stay under the tree for a good hour just enjoying the moment and listening to Legend as he reads to you and Ravio, Legend will occasionally stop reading to elaborate or explain a part that might be confusing. This isn't something he has to do very often but it's still nice that he takes time to do so and you both appreciate it.

As you listen to Legend read and Ravio ask him the occasional question you feel your eyes start to closeyou lean back and just enjoy the company of your boyfriends, as you drift off to sleep. Eventually Legend finishes his book and closes it so he can put it down. he looks up and smiles at the sight of you and Ravio leaning on each other as you sleepHe sits his book off to the side as he sets up to lean on your other shoulder and join you and Ravio's napping in the backyard with the tree to watch over the three of you

Auroras, The Course of Empire, and a HUGE Tiger & Bunny 2 realization

Before I begin, let me start out with a brief art history lesson about a series of 5 paintings by English-American painter Thomas Cole of the Hudson River School movement (mid-1800's). The series depicts the growth and fall of an imaginary city, each taking place at a different time of day to reflect where in its lifecycle it is. The paintings are: "The Savage State" or "Commencement of Empire" (Dawn/sunrise)

The Arcadian/Pastoral State (morning)

The Consummation of Empire (Sun's zenith/Day)

Destruction (Waning day/twilight)

and finally, Desolation (Sunset)

Of course even beyond Cole, the different stages of the day/night cycle has widely been used to symbolize the circle of life: Morning/Sunrise being birth/rebirth, Day for "adulthood"/Consummation (completion), Sunset/Twilight for downfall/aging, and Night for death. The SECOND thing we need to establish is the way "Little Aurora" is constantly equated with " hope" - both literally (as in it says the words right there) and figuratively, since she represents hope for not just NEXT, but society as a whole:

Now - how does this relate to Tiger & Bunny 2, you may ask? If you recall, Sunsets were a visual metaphor in Cour 1, and referenced in the ED AIDA, as well as the OP.

In Cour 2's ED, we see Kotetsu and Barnaby - each alone - standing under a night sky filled with auroras, surrounded by a broken cityscape. As the sun begins to rise over the desolation, Tiger and Barnaby cross a liminal landscape to find each other again, to face a new day together. Indeed, the ED ends with a visual recall to Cour 1, but at dawn:

S2 ends with the destruction of the status quo. The last scene takes place at night: the hero system is no more, society is fractured between NEXT/non-NEXT, Kotetsu has lost his powers, and Kotetsu & Barnaby are no longer "Buddy heroes". Even the two symbols of "justice", Sternbild, and Tiger & Barnaby's partnership as a whole - Justice Tower and Mr. Legend's statue - are destroyed in the fray.

However, as the title of Episode 20 says, The darkest hour is always before dawn. In fact, Episode 25 ends with the hope of a new beginning. The title is "Today is Not Tomorrow's Yesterday", and includes an epilogue scene where we see a snow-flecked museum that looks disturbingly like a mausoleum. The memorial plaque says "The Legend of Buddy Hero", with the starting date of when the first episode of S1 took place - the beginning of their hero partnership - and ending on the day that S2E25 happens on. Underneath that, we see "NEXT". Though this might be the end of the era of Tiger & Bunny as we know it, NEXT is the beginning of a new one.

So what does this mean for the future of the series? I posit that S2 isn't a conclusion - it's a second act that precedes a 3rd act with a drastic change of status quo - and a new beginning.

Staff have repeatedly spoken about "change" around S2, and now I think I understand what they meant. Bringing back the times of day symbolism, we can imagine that the entire story of Tiger & Bunny could be divided into 3 acts (seasons), with 3 "intermissions"(movies). They are: Intermission 1: The Beginning Movie Season 1: Day (Consummation) (this is a recent visual from S2, but I've always found the choice to frame them against a bright day unusual, compared to the historical treatment of key art):

Intermission 2: The Rising Season 2: Sunset/Nightfall (Destruction & Desolation) If so, then perhaps during the live audience viewing of Episode 25, which will air on the infamous T&B day of Christmas Eve (Dec 24, 2022), we will get an announcement of the conclusion: Intermission 3: The Fall? Season 3: Sunrise/Dawn (Rebirth. "Tomorrow is not Yesterday's Today.") As many have noticed, there seemed to be several suspended story and character arcs from S2. Foreshadowed events (such as the dinner/drinks date") don't end up happening, and character journeys don't feel complete. I can go into detail on what specific story aspects feel set up for a 3rd arc, but that will be for another post. For now, I will leave you with this last Easter egg. Thank you for reading!

Gain Courage

Link was gone, and Ravio couldn’t handle it.

Link came back, left again, and Ravio knew too late that he loved him.

Legend came back, and Ravio was gone. Legend couldn’t handle it.

Now Ravio has to fight in a war that’s not his own. Aiding a different Link through his adventures and fighting his own demons as well.

He has to gain courage. After all, he won’t survive as the coward he is. That isn’t an option, because he has to get back to his Link.

Or: Ravio gets pulled into Hyrule Warriors. He kicks ass, takes names and simps for his Mr. Hero.

Don’t expect a schedule lol

It had been thirteen months, two weeks, six days and ten hours since Link fell through a portal that appeared from under him, and closed before Ravio could even blink.

It had been ten months, three days, seven hours and six minutes since Link came back as Legend three months after Ravio saw him disappear.

It had been one week after that, that Link was torn from him again.

It had been nine months, one week, four days and nine hours since Ravio had gotten the first of many letters which prompted a constant back and forth of writing.

It had been then, as he clutched the precious letters to his chest that Ravio realized that he was hopelessly, undoubtedly and stupidly in love with Link. Head over heels? No no no more like tumbling down several hills and mountains before impaling his heart with a stick.

And it had been exactly one minute, that as Ravio was placing some of his most important items into his bag, that he himself was falling into a dark swirling purple abyss, positively reeking of dark magic.

And as he closed his eyes, he hopes he would end up with Link on the other side. But fate was always one to play tricks.

❦

Ravio hummed a cheery tune as he walked up the leaf covered pathway to Link’s house. He had just returned from the market because they ran out of ingredients durning breakfast. Ravio glanced up at the mid-day sun. Okay, so maybe lunch. He shook his head as he opened the door. Grinning he cupped a hand to his mouth.

“Oh honey!~ I’m home!~” He made sure to drag the ‘o’s out in a typical annoying fashion. Link groaned (good naturedly to the few who knew him) ahead of him, lounging at the table.

“Not married, fuck you. And even if we were, you would the house wife. You stole my line.” Ravio scoffed as he lifted up his hood. He cocked his hip and placed a hand on it in sass and faux confidence.

“Oh? Is that because you never do any housework, go to the market or cook?” Ravio pointed a finger at him. “Well then of course I’m the stay at home partner!” Ravio held back a smile under a playful scowl as Link began to hold in a laugh.

“Oh ho ho? Now your laughing at me? That’s it! We’re getting divorced and I’m taking…” Ravio trailed, looking around the room. He quickly grabbed a small plush rabbit.

“Mr.Hero jr. with me!” And with that it seemed that the man burst out laughing. Ravio began to laugh himself at the inane joke. Internally however his heart melted and he wanted to paint the scene in front of him, he hadn’t had a clue why.

The light from the window seemed perfect, hitting the hero from the side in all the right places. Link himself was still sitting in the rosewood chair, slightly curled in himself with one arm across his stomach and the other held up so his hand could futilely hide his laughter.

Ravio stood mesmerized by the light playing with the pink strands in front of Link’s face he could never manage to stay dyed, from his pink bunny adventures that Ravio would tease him of, hence the soft baby pink rabbit in his hands. He wanted to stop time, for just this moment.

Ravio shook himself out of his thoughts, bringing himself back to the moment as Link stopped laughing. (He couldn’t help but miss the sound) The merchant bent down and began to pick up the cloth bags he used for shopping, that he set down sometime durning the conversation, only to look up as gloved hands picked up half of the bags in one swoop.

“Well I wouldn’t much of a husband if I didn’t help out, no?” Link grabbed a few more and headed into the kitchen, Ravio following suit.

❦

“…nd then he told me that the bread was blessed! If that wasn’t just plain ridiculous, then further proof was that I didn’t sense jack crap from it! Honestly just tell me your up charging bread.” Ravio finished his rant as he bit down angrily on a bite of beef stroganoff… and promptly melted into the bite of his favorite food. (Unbeknownst to him, Link found him quite endearing, perhaps even cute… and mentally slapped himself.)

“I would have figured people would have tried to stop scamming you by now. After all, you are the biggest scam of them all.” Ravio gasped at his words, trying to act offended. Pfft, he knew that he was a scammer. How would he make a living otherwise? Honest profit? Perish the thought.

“I’ll have you know I am but a fair merchant, I’ll even let you take something for free!” He trilled, pointing his fork dramatically to punctuate his statement. Ravio was already planning on giving Link something free for his quest he would be going on after lunch.

“Yeah right.” Link flicked his nose, causing Ravio to drop his fork and hold it with his hands. He pouted at Link as he was getting up.

“Well then, I’ll just have to show you! Come on Mr.Hero!” Ravio went up to the bedroom with Link behind him. Ravio slid out two small boxes from under the bed. (“How?? How did I not notice that under my bed-“) He nervously chewed on his tongue as he rose to his feet.

“Kay! So this won’t look like much but this will offer you some basic protection from the elements.” Ravio began to ramble as he sat on the bed and gestured for Link to do the same. “Mostly everything, so long as you don’t jump into lava or get frozen in a block of ice for more than twenty four hours.” He lightly glared at Link at the last part. He put his hands up in mock surrender.

“Okay, that wasn’t my fault and it was only half an hour!” Link attempted to defend himself as he took a seat next to him. Honestly, Ravio was worried sick when he came back with blue lips and fingers!

“Yeah, well it happened so this should make sure you don’t die via ice block.” Ravio stuck his tongue out. Link huffed and rolled his eyes before Ravio handed him one of the boxes, the darker one of the two. He held his breath baitedly as the box was examined closely, before it was opened. Inside lay an intricately carved wooden ring. The dark cherry wood was carved to give the illusion that two wooden pieces were intertwined, like a braid but with only two pieces and not three. And most notably, the purple gem that lay in the middle.

Ravio squirmed as the silence dragged on, and began his horrid stuttering. “The taa- Ahem the taaffeite- gah! The taaffeite is said to bring good luck and fortune. I carved this ring myself y’kno- ack!” His sentence was cut short by the hero tackling him into a tight hug. He didn’t know what to do, if he was honest. The last time he was hugged… oh goddess when was the last time? Wait hold on… Link of all people was hugging him. The least tactile person in Hyrule.

“Thanks, Rav. This is- you MADE this for me?…” He nodded before Link backed away. Ravio could actually burst in excitement. He lit up as he remembered one last thing up his sleeve.

“Not only that buuut-“ Ravio opened the other box which held a similar design but with a bright pink thulite gem in place of the taaffetite. He put it on. “I have one to match! Put yours on and I’ll show you why!” Link took a second to look at Ravio’s own ring, probably realizing the matching colors to eachother. It wasn’t what Ravio had intended but it worked out alright. The other eventually slid on his own ring.

Ravio grinned as he pushed a bit of magic through the ring, and watched Links face as his own ring responded with a light glow, and what should be a slight tugging sensation.

“This is so that I can at least know your alive and well. Just push a small- ish amount of magic through, and it reacts.” Ravio explained. Link nodded, and he could feel a small yank, enough to pull his hand forward. The ring glowed bright. Ravio giggled, and waved Link off.

“It shouldn’t take much or any magic. That being said, if you’re completely drained you can also tap it on something containing similar magic to yours. It won’t feel the same, more impersonal than with your own but it should do.” Ravio watched Link concentrate once more, and this time as the ring reacted, it was subtle just like how he himself had done it.

Ravio cheered, he did it! Link rolled his eyes and playfully pushed his shoulder. “Shouldn’t I be the one celebrating? Why are you more excited than me about me being able to control my magic flow?” Link teased. And to anyone else it was in a harsh tone, but not to him. To Ravio it was playful and an obvious attempt to provoke another banter match.

Sadly, Link had to leave before to much longer lest he not reach a safe place before dark.

“Oh hush! Don’t you have stuff to pack?” And as Link walked out of the room, Ravio couldn’t help but want him to stay longer.

❦

Ravio sighed, glaring as he put more rations and snacks in. He had the space! Besides, who knew how long this would take? What if he ended up somewhere with no clean water? Or if there was contaminated food?

“Mr.Hero, it’s not wasting food if it’s a good precaution. I’d rather have a bit of food leftover than you starving.” The man in question rolled his eyes for the fifth time but finally stopped trying to get him to give up on packing more food. Ravio decided to be a little cheeky now. So as soon as Link looked away, he slipped in a bright pink handkerchief with a bunny, tying it to a water skin so it would most definitely be taken out.

What did he expect? After shoving more stuff than necessary into the bag he finally handed it to Link.

“Alright I’m done! You better not be coming back fried like a baked cuckoo, ya hear?” Ravio pushed the bag into Links chest as he turned around, having just strapped on his weapons. The bag collided into him, and he made an ‘oof’ noise.

“Me? You’re the mother cuckoo here.” Link flicked Ravio’s nose, causing him to startle back. “No wait, you’re a rabbit.” He’s taking offense to that!

“Hey! I’m just-“ Ravio broke off. Something felt… off. He focused in. The magic felt weird?

“Mr.Hero? The magic. Something’s wrong.” Almost swirly. It was almost like it was congregating around a point… the floor? Ravio’s eyes widened in realization, and he made to grab Link. His hand was almost there!

“Ravio! Don’t-“

It was too late. Ravio’s fingers only just brushed fabric as the hero fell, far from his grasp and far from him. He couldn’t breath. Link was gone. He was gone. Ravio was useless AGAIN. Ravio couldn’t shake the hero’s expression from his mind, the panic in his eyes. And he…

He tried to save Ravio. He tried to make sure Ravio didn’t fall in as well. It seemed the portal wouldn’t let him though, because he stomped on it. The concentrated magic swirled but it was only like glass for him. He fell to his knees and banged on the portal over and over again, until it disappeared. His knuckles began to split but he didn’t, couldn’t, care.

He kept hitting the ground, as if it would spit him back out. And when that didn’t work he screamed at the ground but nothing made a difference. Eventually, Ravio couldn’t even scream anymore.

❦

It was an hour later that Zelda arrived, feeling the magic imbalance. All that she found was Ravio, his hands bloody and bruised. He was only staring blankly at the floor.

“Ravio?” At the mention of his name he slowly dragged his gaze upwards to meet hers.

“He’s gone.” Ravio whispered. He clutched his hair with bloody hands and tugged his hood back on. “He’s… he’s really…”

Zelda fell before him, tugging him into an embrace as the first tear fell.

The day was almost over and almost the end of Makina Setsukura’s birthday, the said girl was sitting on her gamer chair, still streaming for her birthday. Right now she was just talking to her chat and occasionally thank those that sent superchats, it wasn’t until she heard a few knocks on the door did she paused and looked over, sighing before telling her chat she’ll be right back. After getting various ‘okay’s, Makina got up and walked over to the door, opening it to reveal Anika holding an assortment of gifts. “Hey Makina.” Anika greeted, giving the presents to the streamer. “These are for you, they were on the doorstep.”

“Thanks.” Makina nodded and took the gifts, closing the door after and walking back to her setup, the chat roared to life after seeing her and the gifts. “Hey chat, I got more presents. Should I open them?” After many answers of ‘yes’ and ‘do it’s’, Makina opened the first gift she saw, revealing it to be…

A large collection of beautifully crafted jewelry inspired by the popular anime, Sailor Moon. Along with it came a letter.

‘Happy Birthday, darling!

We didn’t get to talk much during the pageant but I was really impressed with your performance so here’s a little something for me, congratulations on turning a year older!

— Lola Takahashi’

The next gift revealed to be a painted portrait of popular virtual idol, Hatsune Miku. Like the first gift, this also came with a letter.

‘Happy Birthday, Setsukura-san

We’ve never talked but I’ve seen your streams and I really like them, since it’s your birthday I wanted to send you a gift, sorry if that’s weird but I hope you like my gift.

— Eclipse’

The last gift was a plushie of Servamp character, Kuro but in his cat form, much like the other gifts, this one came with a letter as well.

‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCREEN SHOT!!

I’m a huge fan of your streams! I try to catch one at least every few days but my job is soooo demanding 😖 but I wanted to give you a gift for your birthday! I heard you’re a huge fan of Servamp (great anime btw) so I searched high and low to get you some merch and came across this cute lil guy! Now you have your very own Kuro! Be sure to treat him well, okay? Happy birthday!

— Joey (Quicksilver)’

Makina sighed. “The pageant… right… the pageant that I placed dead last in! Nah, I’m kidding, I was more there for exposure and even though I placed last, I guess it worked? Like now we got another two thousand people in chat today. Which, again, welcome in, you guys. Hope you guys are enjoying the stream so far!”

She took her coffin and skull earrings off and replaced them with one of the gold earrings with a ruby pink heart jewel. She brushed her hair behind her ears and showed her new accessory to her viewers. “What do we think, chat? Cute, isn’t it?”

She chuckled as she read the endless flood of ‘how cute,’ and ‘pretty!’ comments and dancing bunny emotes in her chat box. She hugged her poster and new plushie. “Y’know, I don’t know much about the other two gifters, but all gifts are welcome. Look! We got a legend right here,” she held up the poster. And then she lifted the plushie right next to her face. “And then we have my black cat twin right here. We look identical. Don’t know if you guys that sent these are watching right now, but uh…” She paused to read the names labeled on each of the letters. “Lola Takahashi, Eclipse, and Joey… Quicksilver… Thanks for the presents, you’re adding more and more to my family. I mean at this rate, I’m gonna lose storage space… damn…”

Thank you for the gifts!

[chryzuree]

What's the preferred love languages of chryzure? What's some goofy stuff the two of them do together? My babysitter's a vampire au, does chrysi convince her vampire boyfriend to do dumb shit with his abilities?

chryzure love language is absolutely physical touch and quality time… also teasing each other endlessly and always helping their partner by committing to the bit…. azure’s serious expression always makes chrysi’s ridiculous jokes and lies seem more grounded than they truly are. and then reading their own separate books while cuddling is peaakkkk chryzure love language. maybe they’ll kiss a little bit! why not!!!

most of the goofy stuff consists of chrysi climbing up somewhere and then getting stuck and azure has to help her down…. catgirl gf real… i also rlly like thinking abt chrysi saying something completely wild and untrue and then it cute to azure nodding solemnly. she’s soooooo right to say that. who cares if it breaks the laws of nature??

whenever azure’s wine-drunk, he gets a little silly.. always flirting w chrysi by nipping at her ear or something like that. once he woke up to find that they’d put lipstick on in the evening & chrysi had kiss marks all over her face. she didn’t wash them off because she thought it was cute 🥰 and also azure looked vvvv pretty w lipstick on. you should wear it more often, bunny!!

OH, whenever chrysi’s taking a little catnap while listening to music, azure always opens up her phone and queues up axel f by crazy frog or temporary secretary by paul mccartney. then he sits and waits for her to bolt up wide awake like, “I TRUSTED YOU.” your mistake! azure is not to be trusted ever!!!! his sense of humor will sneak up on you..

he’s also dropped an ice cube down her shirt more than once. we all talk abt mischievous chrysi, but mischievous azure is literally RIGHT THERE. the WHOLE TIME.

YESSS, she made him test out many of those cursed mirror urban legends, since he doesn’t have a reflection & she’s curious abt the outcome. most of the time, nothing happens. except for, you know, the time he got dragged into the mirror dimension and the entity there stole his face and tried to escape by kissing chrysi with tongue. azure was having a very bad day.

mostly, chrysi jst uses azure as her little vampire guinea pig. she wants to see if he can get away w things, since he can’t show up on camera. answer: he can! unforeseen outcome: he still trips up alarms and now chrysi, azure, and jacks are running from the cops. again. azure spirits chrysi away w his vampire speed and they leave jacks behind to be caught by the cops AGAIN. he’s so mad abt this..

#.asks #s.chryzure #m.dapper🌸 #azure’s sooo serious and that’s why he’s also so funny because ppl can’t tell that he’ll ruin ppl’s lives 😈😈😈

Mysterious Times(aka Jamies book from Rotg)CH1 THE EASTER BUNNY!!!

THE EASTER BUNNY(also known as the Easter Hare or the Easter Rabbit)

Age:Unknown

Home:Unknown

Status:Active

Power:Rabbit Prowness and speed(More possible but unknown)

As part of the legend, the creature carries colored eggs in its basket, as well as candy, and sometimes toys, to the homes of children.Showing similarities to Santa Claus by bringing gifts to children on the night before a holiday. The custom was first verified sighting was in Germany in the late 16th century.

However...Native Aborigians of Australia have myths of a simmilar creature which according to legend help build there land and was there protector. It is important to note that these come from about 20 000 BC (as seen in some cave drawing dating back to then)so that might mean that he been with us longer that thought.

His apperence is quite different according to sources some say he looks just like a normal rabbit while others say he is more humanoid and is roughly 7ft long/tall.Some speculate that his small form is just mistake that really what they saw were regular bunnies while others say his big form is fake as it could have been just a costume.While some say maybe both forms are real it is unclear why he has them and how he changes them.

From sightings weve gathered that he is exceptionally fast and agile becuase whenever he was spotted he would run away at high speeds.Its theorized that he has more powers for example recently on an easter he was spotted in 2 distant towns which would either mean that there might has been an hoax in one or that he can go at unbeliveble speed or maybe even teleportation.How one rabbit woudl manage this?We dont have the slightest clue.

Sightings were most common in the 16th and 17th century especially in Europe whilst also being spotted in other continets too.While sightings of him have still been happening to this day for one reason or another he seems to be appering less and less for whatever reason.

Nevertheless even if he isnt seen or heard from there always seem to be so many Eggs on Easter which arent appear inexplicably....well there is quite a chance that there is an Easter Bunny in one form or another.

Mothman(or Mothmen)

Age:Unknown(Born prior to 1967)

Locations:Unknown

Status:In hiding

Emerged in 1967 from the association of sightings of a strange winged figure around the city of Point Pleasant, West Virginia with the with a disastarous bridge collapse happening not long after which killed 46 people. In the years after the disaster, some came to see the link between the sightings of the entity dubbed the Mothman and the collapse.

Mothman sightings decreased sharply afterwards, but the occasional incidents and resurgences eventually led to a formalization of who mothman is and how he truly looks like.

They resembles a vaguely humanoid bird.They most likely has enormous glowing eyes as the original sightings often reported otherwise indistinct figures with large, luminous eyes standing out against the gloom. The creature may not always have a distinct head, instead simply having a rounded torso marked by two glowing, lamplike eyes.

Mothmen, due to their association with the disasters, are often linked with disasters. It has been theorized that they are a sign or an omen of some imminent disaster in the near future.Mothmen rarely do anything themselves to hinder the event or speed it along: indeed, their motives are almost always deliberately mysterious. They watch from the sidelines, observing seemingly random people, and then quietly vanish after the disaster invariably comes to pass. They do not usually attempt to communicate with people, but those they observe may be stricken with nightmares relating in some form to the future tragedy. Their motives are often unclear at best — they may be actively trying to cause the disaster, they may be trying to warn people of their imminent danger, or they may simply be passive watchers, come to observe the calamity for reasons of their own.

Even if we could confirm they exist there motives are shrouded in darkness.

(Artists impression of Mothman)

Quantomonium

Weight of the Chain

So someone sent me an ask a couple days ago about who I would remove from the Chain if I had to. Now I love all the boys, and I couldn't decide, so I decided to question who I would remove if I absolutely had to, based off of who contributes the least to the story. This of course led to analyzing the places of the Chain and what they do to contribute to the progression of LU, and the results are a bit sad guys :(

So, for the sake of analysis, I divided the chain into four groups: glue, plot pushers, plot weights and tanks .

Glue holds the chain together, plot pushers make the story progress, plot weights are those whose very existence is a major plot point and tanks are the powerhouses of the group.

With that out of the way, let's begin with the glue!

Legend is a connector in the chain. A Link between Links if you will. He settles the disputes and distracts those who are too harsh. He takes it on himself to fill any roles that haven't been taken and he uses his knowledge and skill to help him help the others. His focus in the story is often as providing back-up or support to other characters, and he he tends to remain a background character save for in the bunny arc where he acted as a cause for Sky and Twilight to bond and share secrets. Legend's primary role, however, remains as the guy who balances people out and watches their backs.

Warriors is the same. This man plays a huge role in keeping the chain moving and focused. Granted, he’s not prominently featured in many (any) arcs, but he has played some major roles as back up in smaller bits of the story: helping Hyrule fend off a whole camp of monsters, encouraging Hryule about his place in the chain, reminding the others about the follies of pride, fighting the black lizalfoes away and helping Legend guide the chain when Time was too preoccupied with Twilight to be able to. Warriors provides knowledge and direction to the team in a similar way to Legend. 

In contrast to each other, Legend is the one focused on the chain as a group of people, pushing them and giving direction for their betterment, while Warriors pushes them and gives them direction to help them work towards their end goal. This is both fitting for the both of them as characters, and also compliments the work of the other. Naturally, as a soldier, Warriors’ focus is on protecting the kingdom. He swore his life to keeping Hyrule safe, no matter the cost to himself, and that is his primary goal. Legend, in contrast, completed his missions not for the sake of a country, but for the sake of people he knew and cared about, so his focus is on helping the chain through the things they face; not necessarily with the goal of coming out victorious, but instead coming out alive.

Together, these two provide a glue and stability to hold the Chain together even in the toughest times. 

And Twilight is similar. But Twilight straddles the line between being glue and being a plot pusher. 

Twilight’s role in the group has been one that helps bring them together, strengthening bonds and pushing the others to interact, work together, and face their issues. But in that process, he not only helps the characters hold together, but also pushes the plot forwards by making them discuss issues, struggles, fears and other things that help progress the story. Not only that, but he actively pushes the plot forwards with his actions when he does things like chasing down Dink, fighting him, and even now that he lies potentially dying, he’s pushing the plot with what’s happening to him.  

(In a way, I take this as proof that he’s JoJo’s favorite and kind of the lead character around which most things resolve (not bitter about that) but that’s just me.)

Regardless, Twilight pushes the plot and strengthens the group. 

Wind does the same things though. Wind brings out some of the best and worst of his fellow heroes, both by calling them out on their flaws, but also by interacting with them and showing some of their finer facets. We’ve seen him call out the heroes on their treatment of him, but also bring out the more tender sides of Time and Legend (although with Legend it’s more in the early doodles than anything). We could take this as Wind also being Glue, but he’s not, because Wind has a more important task in the comics: He pushes the plot, and more specifically, the lore.

Wind is the one who brought about the realizations of the damaged Triforce, the split timelines, and also the conversation regarding Ganon’s continuous appearance which is likely linked to Demise’s curse. Wind pushes the plot because he is our main source of exposition when it comes to discovering the lore of this story, and also the lore and characters of his team-mates. 

And that leads us to our plot weights, Sky and Time. 

Sky is the Chosen Hero. The guy who started it all, the one whom Demise cursed and who forged and wielded the Master sword. My dude is kind of important! Now, granted, he hasn’t had much plot relevance in major ways yet, but he is a major player all the same and has been quite involved in many things, many of which include the Master Sword. He’s the one who’s noticed that Dink avoids Fi, the one who changed Twilight and Legend back into Hylians and also the one to further discussions about what has been happening as of late. But just by being Hylia’s Chosen, the First Hero, and the one that Demise cursed, he’s plot heavy because of what his existence itself means for the Chain. He’s the one that started almost everything (granted, there was also First, but he has a lot less in common with the Chain than Sky does). By merely existing, Sky adds to the story and the lore. 

Time does the same thing. Time split the timeline, and he is the reason that half of the heroes exist. Whether it be because he’s their ancestor, the guy that trained them, the one that died and left a task to them, or the one that inspired them, Time is the base off of which many of the heroes’ stories are built, and he’s kind of the most important when it comes to lore, arguably even more so than Sky. Granted, Time is also the leader, the guy they can and often do go to for advice and help, and he’s also the one to call the shots and keep them in check, but Time also has different priorities than the others, and we’ve seen that he will put Twilight first when push comes to shove. So, while he does drive the plot and interactions, as well as growth of other characters, his main feature is what his existence means for the story as a whole. 

Now, as a note, Time also crosses over into the tank category of powerful heroes who've been using cool powers as of late, and he also does provide back up and strength, but again, he’s more plot heavy than anything. Wild and Hyrule are the real tanks though.  

Hyrule, while not particularly featured prominently, is like Warriors in that he’s been pulling some rather impressive stunts recently: the lightning in his battles, the fire sword, defeating a whole camp with only Warriors’ help, and working to help heal Twilight. While Hyrule hasn’t done anything overly plot heavy, he is providing a lot of power to the team and I feel like his power is something that may be drawn on more and more as the story goes on. Granted, he’s not glue or a plot pusher, but he provides a strength the team needs and can, potentially, offer healing as well. 

Now, I fought myself about Wild’s placement, but I eventually decided that while he is a tank, he does also help push the plot. Wild doesn’t have any strong bonds in the chain outside of Twilight. Sure, he interacts with the others, but there isn’t any moment I can remember where I see trust or reliance, more just- acceptance and getting along. Wild doesn’t better the other heroes, but he does push the plot along a bit by giving us background about the world, and hinting at potential information about Hyrule’s future and thus the future of the heroes. He pushes the plot through his actions in making the story and action move, while Twilight moves the characters and Wind moves the lore.  

However, Wild is also one of their heavy hitters in battle and the guy who takes the most blows. He’s got powers and abilities we’re just beginning to see, and he has the potential to be a key piece in fighting Dink, considering he’s already defeated him once. Wild takes a step back in the story outside of battles, but within them he takes a leading role, which his main reason for being placed as a powerhouse. 

In the long run, Wild doesn’t contribute much to the Chain as a group, but he does provide fuel for the plot and keeps it moving, so he is important. 

And that leaves Four. 

And it pains me to say it, but Four is the least used and most expendable character in this lovely series. Don’t get me wrong! I adore Four! He’s my second favorite of the Chain and I’ve been living for the content he does get, but in the long run of the story he’s done very little. 

Mostly, Four has just been Twilight’s friend and dropped a moment of advice, and then helped forge Wild a new sword. Outside of that though, Four doesn’t contribute much to group interactions and bonding, the lore of the story, or even plot progression. Four feels like he was shoehorned in and the fact that he only split to catch Wild’s attention is really sad to me. Four’s role could be filled by literally everyone else at any given time, including the big split, and we would have the same results in the story. 

I hope this doesn’t remain consistent, but it is the truth (someone, I’m begging, prove me wrong and show me a moment Four did something that couldn’t have been accomplished by someone else and gotten the same results) and it's sad.

So yeah, the heroes all have a place and role in the Chain and the story except for Four, and I find that very sad :(

[theotherbackgrounder]

So with recent interest in “The Ramona Theory” I decided to create a new post compiling of information to the existence of infamous “Ramona Theory” I created years back. 1) just to have 1 post instead of many 2) so new readers that have an interest doesn’t have to go digging.

Below is a recent post I made to r/fantheories, hence why I even added as much context to the theory so that even people that haven’t seen EAH could sort of follow.

This theory pertains to two characters in the series.

Just for some establishments for those that don’t know. Here is a quick rundown.

Cerise Hood- She is the daughter of Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf. Because of whom both of her parents are she was forced to hide her secret, not only to protect her mom and dad but also herself. She is raised up to be the next “Little Red Riding Hood” following her mom’s story, but there have been some strong hints that she is actually the next “Big Bad Wolf” \[See. Ever After High book 3: Wonderlandiful World.\] Is written to be an only child. Carries a family photo in a locket of her, her mom, and her dad.

Ramona Badwolf - at a close mid-point of the series there seemed to be some kind of “rebranding” to the Ever After High franchise and with a retool there comes new characters. Ramona is brought in as Cerise’s sister. The real-world reason for this is unclear, but I suspect that with the rebranding Mattel decided that they wanted a “Badwolf” doll and since Cerise was still a well-known character in the franchise, they just decided to create a new character – Only child be damned. Contradictions happen because of this character’s inclusions. We have seen moments of post-Ramona where when talking about Cerise’s family directly, she is never brought up.

Way to Wonderland “Reboot Wave” - In the franchise there is a book called the “Storybook of Legends.” This is where students will sign their names and Pledge to follow the stories of their ancestors. At the end of “Way Too Wonderland” the storybook of Legends is destroyed, and the pages are then sent the hearts of the students, assumingly given students their own choice of future. This is also synonymous with the “rebranding” of the franchise.

The World of Ever After High - The Story of the World is fickle. Meaning that the narration of the story can change at a whim, ether by the strong emotion of a girl ripping apart of the fourth wall to as little as a young girl wanting her ship to happen. Three best moments are: 1) \[Bunny + Alistair 4 Ever After\] where a young narrator tries to set up the perfect date by changing the flow, either by resetting time or causing all sorts of weather changes 2.) \[Wonderlandiful World\] Madeline Hatter, daughter of the Mad Hatter, got so angry at the Jabberwocky that she ripped apart of the forth wall and caused “Readers” from the real world to reach in and seal the Jabberwocky in another world 3.) \[Legend of Shadow High\] a Dark Narrator named “Ms. Direction” reformatted the book and took away free will from characters, turning the book into a “Choose your own adventure” style for the readers to save the day.

It shows that the world of ever after high is subject to change to manipulation. Not because of weakness, as characters in this world can’t really make change, but because that at these times, emotion are simply stronger…. it’s a mind game if you will

Cerise and the Beast - In a mini-series called “Once upon a Twist” (that was unfortunately cancelled) the third story takes place with two characters, one of them being Cerise, and inserted into the story of “Beauty and the Beast.”

Before we begin, let’s look at Ramona and the meaning of her name, and from what I have found I have seen: “Wise Protector,” “Protecting hands,” “One who protects.”

Now, let’s look at the character Cerise Hood. She, like many others did not grow up under normal circumstances. In fact, we could see that amongst them, she probably had one of the worst

Burden by her family secret, there wasn’t a way she really could live out normal childhood. Just her secret alone meant that she couldn’t get close to other children at the risk of revealing her secret. This means that she probably didn’t have a true friend until she confided to Raven Queen in High School.

So, for what we assume her entire life, a piece of her mind has hammered into her that she is a type of “freak” and that according to her heritage, she shouldn’t exist; and that no one needs to know that “she” exists.

Now, let’s look at this from another perspective. Let’s take this person, who has lived this life for about 15 years with this lifestyle and hit it with a shock that could and will shatter the world she thought was her status quo.

So, no we need to look at the event of \[Wonderlandiful World\]. Where the Jabberwocky was changing Ever After High into a new Wonderland. Causing students to turn into their “namesakes” both literally and figuratively.

This is where we first get our first hint that Daring Charming, the son of the Charming Family, is actually “The Beast” instead of “Snow White’s Prince Charming” as was to be expected. We see him turn into a beast (animal/monkey) and referred to as a “little beasty.”

So, the question to ask would be “What did “Cerise Hood, the Daughter of The little red riding hood, turn into?,” well, if we go by her literal namesake, she would turn into either a literally red hood because of her name or that she would turn into a picnic basket as it would relate to her destiny. What happens to her?

She turns in a dog. What does that mean? The girl who was raised to be the next “Little Red Riding Hood” but in truth is actually the next “Big Bad Wolf.” Meaning that Cerise was raised as one thing but is completely something else.

Is this new to Ever After high? No. We have already two different examples of this. The Charming Siblings has this case bad because of the very unstable culture that is regarding the family name; Daring himself as mentioned before was raised as “Snow White’s charming” but is now “Beauty’s Beast.” To a lesser extreme, the O’Hair twins, the daughters of Rapunzel, also had to deal with this, with Poppy being revealed to be the next Rapunzel instead of her sister, Holly, who wanted the story

So, at this point, we know that Cerise hood, who was raised as “Little Red Riding Hood” and the fact that she was (unintentionally) hammered with the thought that being born of bestiality is “not normal,” turns out to be the wolf. Whoops.

Now let’s talk about Way to Wonderland at the “reboot wave,” as I like to call it.

As mentioned, at the end of this special, Raven herself destroyed the “Story Book of Legends” and in doing so causes the pages themselves to become one with their chosen. As for what kind of damage that could lead up, well that’s a story for another time.

Then, canonically, Ramona Badwolf appears; and with her existence we can see the narrative of Cerise Hood start to fall apart.

Do you see the connection? How Ramona only gets brought in when “Pages of Destiny” is put int the hearts of characters.

Let’s look at the narrative once more.

· This story of Cerise Hood is that she was raised as “The Little Red Riding Hood” when her actual story is “The Big Bad Wolf”

· Growing up a piece of her was hammered in that that piece of her was to be kept a secret, because she is created from a love that should not have existed – that in the world that she lives in, sees as a mistake.

· Though she loves her family, a piece of her was hammered into her to “reject” what she truly is; not because it was what she thought was right, but a piece of her thought it was wrong.

Then comes the shock, a real page opener if you will. As the truth is thrust upon her \[Way too wonderland\]. In this one instant, her entire outlook on the world would be ruined – everything she thought would have destroyed her as it all was re-written in an instant. Everything would be broken in an instant…unless her own mind protected her.

This is where Ramona comes in.

Her world in danger of falling apart, Cerise’s story in jeopardy; a part of her created something. To protect her “narrative” a piece of Cerise created something to protect her, to protect the idea that everything is, and always is the same. It’s rushed, messy, and convoluted, but if it protects the young girl, it will until she is ready.

In later stories “The Secret Diary of Raven Queen” and “Cerise and the Beast” contradicts the inclusion of Ramona.

· In “The Secret Diary of Raven Queen” - Raven Stays with Cerise Hood at her house, Ramona is mentioned once by name and was never referred to again. Also, a story segment from the story “The Unfairest of them all” was referenced, that was a story that was heavily focused on Cerise’s family and the village she lived in, this was also a story that was written prior to Ramona’s existence back when Cerise was an only child.

· In “Cerise and the Beast” – Cerise reveals her secret to another character, Dexter Charming (aka worst character,) and even shows him her locket that has the family portrait of her, her mom and dad. No mention of Ramona or even referring to families outside of the three of them.

I believe that in her mind, Cerise’s narrative created a coping mechanism, thrusted upon her world to protect her from a mental break.

An emotion so strong to protect her, it reflects on the fairy tale world and leaves a metaphysical effect on the world around her trying as the narrative tries to keep it intact.

Ramona Badwolf is that coping mechanism. I believe that she is a “tulpa,” something imaginary given a corporal form. She has her own needs and desires, but her existence is dependent on Cerise’s mindset and narrative. In “Cerise and the Beast,” Cerise was completely removed from her own story and placed in the book of “Beauty and the Beast” and since that was a narrative independently removed from Cerise, Ramona simply ceased to exist temporarily as the two characters (both Cerise and Dexter) both forgotten she existed.

Ramona I believe is Cerise’s mind trying to push away her reality. But when the time comes and Cerise accepts herself, she’s no longer need her “imaginary sister” and Ramona will simple cease to exist.

Let’s look at Ramona’s name again; “The Wise protector.” We know that “With Wisdom comes with age.” In Ever After High, to accept your destiny means you have “come of age.” Meaning, that until Cerise comes of age, Ramona will protect her fickle mindset. Ramona will be there, until her story is complete, until Cerise accepts her reality.

INTRODUCTION—

i’ve been a tumblr user since 2015, middle school, and yet i have, not once, attempted to post. so here i am now, 2023, almost out of highschool, finally picking up this goddamn cursed app out of the trenches. the trenches of apps that were EXTREMELY close to being offloaded for storage saving… thats how much i used it

and now, motivated by my partner (unknowingly) to give a single shit abt this app, here i am making an introduction post.

so first off, im robbie, zara, whatever. two names because im genderfluid and have fought and been annoyed of the name i had been given at birth, only to start accepting it again when i had finally been accepted with my chosen name. i make my own problems. hence, i use both, i don’t care anymore.

i go by any pronouns, i used to have a preference but i realized…

1. theres too many people in this world that aren’t going to care about what i want, and im tired of pushing that, not that its not awesome TO push that agenda, but personally its not something i have the energy for. 2. i literally feel comfortable with one pronoun one day, and then i don’t the next, so why even bother. and im not going to bother with making people ask what im comfortable with that day, because chances are, i don’t know myself.

another awesome thing, im gay! lesbian. i fancy all types of women and don’t plan on stopping. particularly adore handsome women, or handsome people in general, that can also be cute and pretty. (is it obvious enough my lesbianism is fluid? ofc no men, but ykw i mean.)

and most importantly, INTERESTS.

i have so many that im not sure i can name every single one to count, but i’ll make a list anyway

-splatoon, mario, legend of zelda, animal crossing, pokemon, anything studio ghibli, sailor moon, vocaloid, utaloid, demonslayer, fate series, black butler, soul eater, anohana, orange, bloom into you, five nights at freddys, DUNE, sanrio, genshin impact, cookierun kingdom, identityv, hermitcraft, grian, mumbojumbo, goodtimeswithscar, minecraft, cavestory, momodora, garfield, poetry, anime(not like that), nintendo, gaming, reading, art, painting, biology, science, marine biology, cephalopods, sharks, sea bunnies, princess jellyfish, monster high, the magnus archives, markiplier, gab smolders, roblox, the backrooms….and the list goes on!

basically, anything i repost, im interested in, and its cool if you are too, so if you bother to read this, and see i like anything that you like, i’d appreciate it if you gave me a follow, though there might not be much i post…

particularly, i would post art, fanart, or random thoughts, on the rare occasion that i do.

Qingyue: Moonset

Designer's Reflection: Moonset

Obtained: Mid-Autumn Festival hell event

Rarity: UR

Attribute: Blue/Cool

Awakened Suit: Clear Moonlight

Story - transcripts from Designer's Reflection

Chapter 1 - Otherly Realm

Chapter 2 - The Beginning

Chapter 3 - Distant Thoughts

Chapter 4 - Changing Moon

Chapter 5 - Moving Time

Story - summarized

While Qingyue prepares the cassia sachets for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Baishuo reads books about the legends of the Lunar Goddess. He is not amused.

This sends Qingyue on a trip down memory lane. She used to be a princess in Miraland, back when Cloudcrest was still the capitol of Cloud Empire. Her father, a powerful lord, would buy her books to practice medicine. She would heal the whole city.

One day, she found an injured white bunny holding a piece of jade. She was able to heal the bunny, and she kept the jade. It brought her visions of moonlight, and it let her hear people's innermost thoughts: wishes of longing, for reunion with distant relatives. This power wasn't so bad. After all, her family's role in the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony was to convey the people's wishes and ask for blessings. This year would be her first time doing it. Her father promised to come back from the war with Pigeon to watch her do it.

But despite the many wins, his troop was ambushed, and he died. Qingyue was alone. The jade piece with her grew warm, and the moonlight shone brighter. She could hear voices all around her as she made her way to Cloudcrest Pagoda. During the ceremony, she wished more than ever to see her father one last time.

It was this wish that sent her to the Ocean of Memories, to the Moon Palace. The bunny followed her, becoming a youth named Baishuo.

Now, Qingyue is the Lunar Envoy. While she can't be with her father again, she has the ability to convey others' wishes and bless them in return. She makes sure no one feels alone.

Connections

-Lilith mentioned in her Reflection for Bunny Moon that she likes to look at the moon to not feel alone. While she's not as wistful as Qingyue, she still shares the same blessing for you to "never be lonely."

-Osmanthus shows up in a few other Cloud Reflections, like Chi Xiaoyu's Osmanthus Wine and Baishuo's Faint Moon Dew.

Fun Facts

-In Chinese, "yue" means "moon." Fitting for a moon goddess, huh?

-Qingyue and Baishuo use cassia sachets for conveying thoughts. Traditionally, people drank cassia wine during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

-This Reflection is inspired by two Chinese myths surrounding the moon: the Jade Bunny and the legend of Hou Yi and Chang 'E.

T&B2 Thoughts: Episode 12 – Man's extremity is God's opportunity.

Fasten your seatbelts, kiddos, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

- The show’s apology for putting us through all the heartbreak of the last episode is this scene: Kotetsu literally running into the hospital room and this soft fucking look on his face when he sees Barnaby sitting up and talking to him. I’m fine!! I’m completely normal about this!

- Let's also consider how vastly different this is from the last time Kotetsu got a call about someone he loved in the hospital. He is extremely, extremely aware of how easily this could have gone the other way.

- The hug-blocking is hilarious. Poor Kotetsu; HE JUST WANTS TO SHOW HIS LOVE. Why won’t his people let him hug them!!

- Also love how he thinks that changing the position of his arms will somehow get Bunny to let him through.

- Although seriously, can you imagine Barnaby waking up like this? The last thing he remembers is the art museum and now he's seeing that seven of their friends have been taken out. Do you think he wondered if Kotetsu was one of them before he saw Kotetsu run into his hospital room? Even if Mattia could assure him that Kotetsu had been okay earlier that day, seeing that Stern Bild is down to five heroes, including himself, and having no idea which ones...

- Barnaby clearly recognizes Audun's name when the twins use it, and it's interesting that they flash to his reaction in the middle of this video. Like, is it just because he’s aware of Audun as someone who probably knows the history of Hero TV? But then, Kotetsu is the Legend fan, and I feel like he would have a better working knowledge of Legend’s exploits, including his rival. So why Barnaby’s reaction here?

- BARNABY BROOKS JUNIOR YOU JUST GOT OUT OF A TWO-WEEK COMA THE HELL DO YOU MEAN "TRUST US WITH THIS BATTLE"

- What in heaven's name does this Little Aurora and the Hope book have to do with Ouroboros's plan? And why are they trying to show how dangerous the NEXT are? Are they trying to fuel the anti-NEXT discrimination and if so, why did they work with Maverick in the past, when his goal was to use Hero TV to help people overcome their fears about NEXT? Why did they let someone like Jake into their organization, who wanted to create a NEXT utopia? What were the other stages of their plan? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

- Uuuugh this conversation with Barnaby and Kotetsu as they’re suiting up is just another sign of how far they've come since they met. Before, Barnaby might have lied to Kotetsu and said he was fine, but now he's honest about the fact that he isn't okay.

- They both know this fight is going to be the hardest they've faced in a while (possibly ever) and it's just them: Kotetsu, the oldest of the heroes who can only use his power for one minute; Barnaby, who just got out of a 10-day coma, and the three rookie heroes, all of whom are under 18 and all of whom have only been heroes for about four months, and one of whom has a power that doesn't work when she's scared. They're about to go through it, but if they don't...their friends will stay petrified and their city will be at risk from criminals moving in because they know the heroes can't stop them.

- "Okay, Tiger, you outline what's going on, and Black, you just get in the camera and try to piss them off." A simple but effective plan!

- Barnaby gets out of breath running across the stadium, which is not good. But I will never be over how they manage to show us how worried Kotetsu is immediately after, even though we can’t see his face. It’s just another hint about how hard this upcoming fight’s going to be.

- This scene, oh my gosh. People get excited to see Barnaby and have their phones out to film, even when he's telling them it's dangerous and they need to leave. But as soon as Kotetsu tells them to back off because they don't want anybody to get hurt, the people leave. There’s a post on this site somewhere that says this season, people treat Barnaby as a heartthrob but Kotetsu as a hero, and that’s never as clear as it is in this scene.

- And boy, are we glad the people leave, because this is a rough, rough fight, and the heroes are Struggling. Can you imagine them trying to fight the twins while also protecting dozens of people? There’s not a way in hell.

- Okay for most of this season, they've done a pretty good job about blending the 2D and 3D animation, but the bit where the twins are kicking Thomas is one of the few places it looks a little janky.

- Barnaby gets out of the hospital and immediately goes to fight bad guys, Mattia gets out of the hospital and immediately sneaks into his workplace to figure out what the fuck Ouroboros is doing. Because they both have the self-preservation instincts of a lemming.

- Hmm yeah somehow I don't think this is going to go well for you, lady.

- Kotetsu literally picking up Fugan and running, trying to hold them back and trying not to attack. Because of course he's going to throw himself into the line of fire to protect the others, especially the younger heroes. He's got his power and his suit and he's fucking durable, he's making the gamble that he can take what they dish out.

- And he really does; he holds his own and he doesn’t throw a single punch until Fugan has him trapped and it’s literally the only move he can make.

- And, like with Jake, Kotetsu actually lands a hit when no one else has.

- And, like with Jake, Fugan makes him pay for it.

- Oh good, we haven't heard Barnaby scream Kotetsu's name Like That yet this season, we were missing that.
