#vio is going to have an existential crisis about having like a crush on his evil shadow self

i removed the "could be platonic or romantic" tag from the adaptation fic bc these bitches are gay as hell and it's way too interesting a dynamic to ignore

#vio is going to have an existential crisis about having like a crush on his evil shadow self #and the ethics and implications of that #shadow's not actively self-aware enough to worry about it #but after vio's crisis i'm pretty intent on them regarding each other as entirely separate people #just cut from a common cloth #i think they both value their own individuality and see it as an act of rebellion in a way #especially in vio's case #idk this is the complicated part of them as a ship but i do actually want to try to unpack it #if you and your partner were both modeled after a guy you both hate and feel fundamentally disconnected from is it that weird #it's almost kinda like being Of Link is a shared traumatic origin story that connects them more than any kind of blood relation #there are sets of ideals and expectations imposed on them both except shadow's are imposed by ganon and vio's by the goddesses #but who they are is in SPITE of that? idk #i am beyond determined to make it not weird please just listen-- #fs #four swords #vidow
