YESSSSS I BEG GET INTO THE CULTURAL DIDFERENCES BETWEEN HYLIANS AND HUMANS 🙏🙏

...now ur just sweet talking me 🥰 /lh

Not years, well maybe 1 year-

but i have wanted to ramble desperately to smone, even the tumblr void if i had to, abt humans vs. hylians so much, esp with a guide reader or male reader bc whatdya know im into niche stuff that only u and like 2 other ppl like lmao ¯\(ツ)/¯

Anyway im so shocked, since ur like the third person to be interested in this and wanna hear abt it 🥺 🤲💌 here u go!! Hope u like it <333 👉👈

Sun: Masc!Reader (he/him)

Orbit: Humans are Not Hylians/Humans are Space Orcs AU, Headcanons-ish, long overall but each section is kinda short

Stars: Mostly worldbuilding! you've been warned, don't get mad me for not talking abt the boys too much✌️

Comets & Meteors: Content Warnings: mild cursing, mentions of private area/joke in the clothing headcanons, & Trigger Warnings: none known.

Please comment if I missed any. /gen

☆

just some quick headcanons bc tbh i haven't given it too much thought, and i feel like I've been able to somewhat get into it in other posts? or maybe im thinking of stuff i have in my drafts idk-

Imma make another list, so buckle up for the short ride lol

Courting periods/dating/marriage

individual/small groups society-based hylians v. large personal groups/large community society-based humans

simpler foods hylians v. complex food humans

clothing modesty/style/relationships with fashion

fighting styles/strategies

entertainment complexity/differences

and language

☆

1st one,��not much yet, im also making a separate post bc someone else asked me to talk abt that more 🥺

(tysm for all the enthusiastic asks guys <33)

anyway, basically hylian courting is a lot shorter, think “lesbians with the uhaul” type of energy, like sort of the classical medieval “does thee wish to pursue marriage with this one?” ← how hylians ask u out for the first time lmao

if it helps, they do tend to get to know one another well, talking about morals/kids/life goals/preferred lifestyle/house/etc. pretty clearly and quickly, then using the in between time to sort of stew on that information

id say the total time is sort of something like 6 months? maybe 3/4 if they're really compatible

(so bc i love interpreting video game logic for real world building, I actually blame this on how fast Zelda/link get together in games despite having sometimes never met before that moment lol)

like i said, ill be posting about this later

2nd one!!

pretty basic, just saying we don't really see hylians in big groups, despite the organizations they form, like kingdoms/knights or on a more personal level, towns/families/etc.

(once again, in-game appearances/video game logic translated to real life to draw these conclusions)

like not only are family units pretty small, like nuclear family setup, with like 2 parents and 2 kids, or single parent 1 kid type of situation, but the towns or collections of these families arent very big either

hylians kind of use their government the way it was intended lmao?

like the villages and towns matter more for everyday decisions than the kingdom/royalty, like Zelda would esstientally just be the mayor of Castle Town for those constant decisions,

while occasionally is called on to make decisions like for several towns or like is a natural disaster happens

meanwhile humans are, in comparison, in Way Bigger groups, both on an organization scale, and a personal scale

like u have all these specific branches of government, whereas im sure the population difference doesn't help,

and on a personal level, humans can easily have like multiple parents, lots of siblings, and once u combine that with each parent having family too, and those families like to meet up? All together??

yeah, itd look insane to any hylians (who’s smaller extended family may just make up their own village and that's it)

3. I've touched on this

like the use of spices, syrups, seasonings, etc

but also the complexity of dishes too, like chilling cream and mixing it for awhile to make ice cream, or even just getting ordering a pizza,

that's a lot of processing, like making the dough from flour and other ingredients, to letting it rise, to making the tomato paste, making cheese, then combining those things with any other toppings, all into one dish??

i like to think that hylians have only just started to touch on actual complicated cooking processes (as in BOTW, where they sell flour and salt, so people besides Link/Wild must know what to do with it)

this has the advantage of impressing any hylian with what a “creative genius” you are lol

4. look im just a fan of medieval time periods Links

so i think its funny if the hylians are used to like 4/3 layers and ur over here like, “wym, if i take off my shirt there's nothing underneath?”

one of them gets bold enough to ask, “d-do you not. do you not have undergarments??”

you “just my boxers? like just to cover my di-”

also this makes its easy to seduce people here? LMAO

clothes are def higher quality, after all there's not as many artificial processes or materials interfering,

plus u usually get some sick embroidery on it too!!

5. so like i get it, Link is the main fighter in games

but like, the few times there is a war/army in loz games, there's rlly not a lot of strategy, beyond just finding the enemy and fighting

tho im partial to that hylians/most inhabitants of Hyrule abide by the “lets meet up either literally by inviting each other or just between our territories to fight”

with occasional guerilla warfare (by any means necessary/stealth/ambush attacks/strategy) that's only rlly used either by Demise/Ganon, or by the wilder individuals/races in games

or maybe even the more civilized fighters in an emergency

and so that means by this logic that all of the Chain use kind of wild techniques compared to their race/kingdom lmao

id imagine its not too surprising to also see “every fight is a bar fight if its for my life” from individual travelers, so im sure they're not viewed too crazy (esp when ppl know their the hero that constantly has to deal with guerilla warfare from Ganon)

but its be hilarious to watch the reactions of both the Links realizing they’re in a bigger group that should be using “proper” fighting strategies and seeing the general publics reaction to this absolutely feral, armed to the teeth, trained hylians with their equally wild human lol

LMAO everyone thinks ur the reason they started using the more brutal fighting methods bc ur human, ur a bad influence lol

(humans would use it primarily, esp after we converted to use that method in warfare a couple hundred years ago i think?)

changing course a bit, hylians tend to use weapons (to compensate for difference in strength compared to humans, and since they don't experience/get a lesser version of adrenaline)

while humans tend to equally rely on weapons and our body as a weapon (marital arts/basic self-defense)

6. this is mostly bc the hylians only rlly seem to have the basics of music, books/stories, theater, and art

i have, surprise surprise, another post abt how i think this came to be,

mostly based on how human curiosity is indomitable and insatiable and the endless force that has not yet met its immovable object.

or at least an immovable object they haven't at least poked a little, out of curiosity lol

like we went to space for that reason, we reach the most dangerous corners of our planet (deep underwater/volcanoes) out of sheer curiousity/for the sake of simple knowledge of the thing

so needless to say, curiosity can absolutely drive any field to its limits, including the arts, which is why we can have stained glass, or movies/tv shows, hell, the marvel that is Hatsune Miku lmao

(fully for entertainment, a projection of light and sound, what is essentially magical illusions but u did it hte hard way, to the hylians)

on a different entertainment related note, i don't know if the hylians would be super into sports, or not really at all? mostly bc they have to use their fighting/training against real threats, not the sort of “fake” threats that sports are

but on the other hand i could see people like knights wanting to use their abilities for something other than violence and fighting bc their life or their villages lives depended on it

bet the Links would enjoy it for those reasons especially, what with at least sumo wrestling being a sport or activity for them at some point in history, and practically beg u for any new games to play, or to ref their games, bc whewwww

im sure they could get pretty competitive lol

7. obviously, their mostly influenced by the Japanese language

id almost like to imagine a sort of, if not outright Japanese (like with earlier heroes like Sky) then a sort of English-Japanese hybrid further along the line

sort of like how English has German/Greek/Latin roots and therefore u can see what words or structure comes from where, or even how u can understand a fair amount of basic words when other languages share the same roots (english, pants = spanish, pantalones)

would make for some funny miscommunications

or even better, most hylians liking ur unique accent or the Links love to hear u talk bc of it lol

☆

well the fever has broken, i am now free of the sickness that made me hack this up geez

i hope u got some enjoyment out of these my beloved anon!! esp since u were so nice as to ask abt it <33

hope u guys have a great weekend, look out for some more posts, bc its been great to get some more asks in lately and very motivating,

not to mention i actually have time to write now that my siblings graduated/we’ve moved several states over 💀

so i have reliable internet now too! sheesh :’)

Peace out,

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐔𝐙𝐙 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐓𝐎𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 ,   rendering yuugi less than capable of giving too much thought to   where he is   or how he got there once his consciousness fazes back in .   but the lack of concern may also stem from his   𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 ;   the silky ,   lightly perfumed sheets beneath him and the warm jacket   (   far too large   to be his own   )   draped over his front offer a   SOOTHING COMFORT   that could inspire him to lie here forever .

            yet ,   when the door swings open ,   yuugi still   PERKS UP AT ONCE ,   twinkling violets unveiling to take in the neat ,   nigh on sterile - looking   guest room while slender arms work to   rather clumsily   prop him up on his elbows .   his face flushes a soft pink ,   but he can’t decipher whether it’s due to   HIS BLOOD - ALCOHOL CONTENT LEVEL   or the fact that the sight of his new ,     very much jacketless   visitor has contextualized where the garment serving as his   makeshift blanket   had come from .

            “   kaiba - kun ,   ”   he greets ,   raising one of his dainty hands to cup his own forehead .   abashedly ,   yuugi giggles .   HE CAN’T HELP BUT LAUGH   ━━━━   the fact that he’d managed to waltz into such an   embarrassing situation   at his first   𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫’𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲   bears enough humor to keep him afloat rather than allowing him to drown in his   MORTIFICATION .   “   i   [   . . .   ]   think i drank too much .   ”

            this isn’t like yuugi at all .   he thought he’d been keeping track of his intake ,   especially since he’s an   infamous lightweight   and gets tipsy in the   BLINK OF AN EYE   if he’s not careful .   BUT HE’D JUST BEEN HAVING SO MUCH FUN :   he’d been astonished that he and mokuba had managed to talk kaiba into allowing this event in the first place ,   and he hadn’t wanted to waste it by worrying too much about anything .   evidently ,   he’d been   a little too carefree ,   but kaiba ,   who he’s learned by now is always   FULL OF SURPRISES ,   had looked out for him ,   taken him away from the noise of the party so he could gather his bearings and finish the night   𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 .

            yuugi knows better than to make a big show of the friendly gesture   ━━━━   knows that kaiba will   GENERATE TEN THOUSAND EXCUSES   as to why it actually hadn’t been such a   sweet thing to do   in that big brain of his .   instead ,   he sits up fully on the guest bed ,   scooting toward the edge just as the other man joins him in the   calm quiet   of the room ,   away from the commotion of   𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 .   

            “   are you excited for the new year ??   ”   he asks ,   looking up toward him with starlight in his gaze .   “   i sure am .   i think we’ll make a lot of great things together ,   and i can’t wait to be part of it .   i know you never want to admit it ,   but we’ve always made a great team .   ”

            for a   textbook optimist   like yuugi ,   the new beginnings brought by a whole new year fills his heart to its brim with hope .   but there’s a sentimentality that comes with leaving the past behind ,   which he’s done with   VARYING SUCCESS ,   considering there are many things of which he has yet to let go .   but he’d always imagined that kaiba bringing him into the company meant something more than just wanting to collaborate with   a like - minded talent   when it comes to their passion for dueling ;   he’d imagined it was kaiba’s way of wanting to move on ,   too .   OF THINKING THEY COULD DO IT TOGETHER .

            as thoughtful silence settles in once again ,   yuugi hears the   muffled cries   of the countdown going on among the other guests .   lashes fluttering wildly in his bewilderment ,   he checks his watch to see that ,  indeed ,   there are just    𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐅𝐔𝐋 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐃𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 .

            softly ,   yuugi sighs ,   just admiring the other man for what feels like an eternity  ━━━━  sinking deeper into his ocean blue eyes .   maybe his heart is a little too full ,   his face a little too warm ,   𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 ,   but as the clock ticks   a single stroke away   from the new year ,   he sweeps forward in a   FLUID MOTION ,   lips pressing tenderly to kaiba’s in a brief ,   but sure kiss .

            “   happy new year ,   kaiba - kun !!   ”   calls yuugi ,   voice bright with genuine mirth ,   though he knows his face must be   CHERRY RED .   he’s on his feet ,   then ,   draping kaiba’s jacket back onto his broad shoulders and scurrying out of the room to   REJOIN THE PARTY ;   to find mokuba and   definitely not   tell him that he’d just kissed his brother .   “   thank you again for the party !!   ”

🌧 . . . ’cause cloud or rain

fluff・rated teen・360 words・on ao3

It’s just like Cheng Xiaoshi to get himself soaked in rain for no good reason; and, embarrassingly, just like Lu Guang to be horribly, awfully, stupidly endeared by it.

(for @shiguangfluffweek day one: rain)

It’s just like Cheng Xiaoshi to get himself soaked in rain for no good reason; and, embarrassingly, just like Lu Guang to be horribly, awfully, stupidly endeared by it.

“Idiot,” Lu Guang hisses at him, shoving a towel unceremoniously into his hands. “You got us both soaked through for what?”

“Well, you had fun, didn’t you?” Cheng Xiaoshi grins, easy and light-hearted and full of mischief. As always, it’s given to Lu Guang with no hesitation; as always, Lu Guang’s pulse thrums with it.

“No,” he replies flatly. Cheng Xiaoshi’s capable of seeing right past this, of course, ceasing in the furious rubbing-dry of his hair to lunge at Lu Guang with a gleam in his eyes.

Lu Guang’s never been as physically fast or strong as Cheng Xiaoshi and subsequently fails to fight him off as he begins to dry out Lu Guang’s drier yet still sopping-wet hair.

“Cheng Xiaoshi,” he warns, but Cheng Xiaoshi only hums, as careful of Lu Guang’s delicate skin as he is firm. So mindful that Lu Guang bruises easier and hurts all over much easier but not gentle coddling him. There’s an art to the act of balancing care and unhesitating certainty. Cheng Xiaoshi’s good at it.

“You laughed,” Cheng Xiaoshi notes, not exactly not teasing, but gentler. Kinder. “And you stayed out there with me until the cold started to hurt.”

“Bridon is too cold,” Lu Guang settles, looking at anywhere but Cheng Xiaoshi’s face. “What if we get sick before our flight back?”

“We’ll be fine,” Cheng Xiaoshi laughs, promises, even. Lu Guang glares at him, but it’s not very heated. “It’s just some rain and cold.”

“You’re the one who dragged me out there,”  he grumbles.

“And you enjoyed yourself,” Cheng Xiaoshi says easily, like he didn’t grab Lu Guang by the hands and drag him out into the rain, insisting they need to have fun and let loose on the trip.

Lu Guang must be crazy, because he relents and swallows down the heartbeat echoing in his throat as his best friend stands entirely too close to him.

That is about to be expected, really, when it’s Cheng Xiaoshi.

BOTH are gold because cheng xiaoshi why are you referring to lu guang like he's ur longtime husband and/or the playboy ur infatuated with ?? (cos. gay i guess)

Was going out to the garage to take recycle stuff to the bin and there was a spider on the door into the garage

So I said, "excuse me sir" as I opened the door and went out

And on my way to the bin there was a spider on the ground (why so many??) and so I said, "excuse me other sir"

And bcuz I was just reading a Four centric fic my brain pictured Four doing that and, since he can talk to animals (???), someone like Wind being going, "What did they say back?!" And Four being like ??? (He can't talk to bugs, he was just being polite because he can)

He pulled his scarf further up against his face as a barrier against the blistering cold and refocused on the laundry. The rushing water of the creek was nearly ice, threatening to burn his fingers off, but he continued scrubbing. His muscles burned from the repetitive motions, lighting up with burning–cold–freezing–hot that had him drifting back to days of marching through snow in full plate armour. The rhythm of footfalls in unison seemed to buzz through his skull as he recalled the hours of straight–backed marching through the snow drifts, staring at the back of his best friend. He’d never struggled with the hikes. No one did, or that’s what they all told each other. Winter nights were always better than days: sure, it was colder, but they had always warmed each other with stories and jokes around the small fires made to thaw their frozen toes. 

The laughter of his old friends enveloped him, drawing him closer to shield him from the chill of the evening, and he leaned towards them with a smile on his lips — 

“You look like shit.” 

---

He let her tug his hand towards the gull. It hopped back, its sharp eyes scared and unsure (how could it all be a dream, when it looked at him like that?), but she still pushed his hand forward softly. 

I’m sorry I scared you off, he told it. It's okay. 

His scarred, calloused fingertips found silky feathers, and he locked eyes with the gull. Its gaze bored into him, but with her gentle hand on his, he did not look away. Slowly, ever so slowly, it nuzzled into his fingertips. He blinked in surprise, and—

His hand lay against the softness of a blanket. The feverish warmth of sunlight sublimated into the stuffy dimness. Bird calls turn into quiet chatter. The body in his arms was nothing but his pillow. 

And there lay Legend, entirely alone save for a splitting headache and the knowledge that he was firmly and irreparably awake. 

Ugh.

Bruv really saw that one final showdown between don quixote vs sancho and internalized it completely wrong huh
