(audio on; subtitles in video. tw for flashing flights and lots of glitching. this vid is fast paced and shaky-- i'm relearning my old editing style yippee....)

very self-indulgent skybound cliffjumper edit for the angst bc i've come to terms with that he's among my favorite characters... and has some of the best expressions alongside elita one--

i hope more bad things happen to him

It's funny how opinions can change over time for instance I used to want Bruce to be a good parent but then I realised how fucking boring that is to read at the end of the day comics are soap operas and I'm here for the drama

You're Going Into Orbit

[slfcare]

the most difficult thing about growing as a person socially, as in getting out of your shell and noticing that you are, is that there will still be times when it doesn’t feel like you’ve grown at all! times when you can’t really connect with anyone around you, times when you fail to enter into an existing conversation, times when you say the wrong thing (or nothing at all when in hindsight you probably should’ve). but that’s also kind of the best thing, because that’s the thing that helps you realize that sometimes, it’s not you or your lack of skills or any shortcoming. sometimes certain environments just aren’t for you and certain people aren’t your people, and that’s okay. that’s human. it’s okay to not feel the progress you have made all the time.

Thinking once again about a Stobin Saw Bathroom AU where they don’t do the trap. They never listen to a tape. They don’t stick their hand in that toilet. They don’t even know this is a trap or that they’re supposed to saw off their feet.

They don’t know who jigsaw is because they don’t watch the news.

They think this is Russian bullshit and just wait for El to do her mind thing and then rescue them.

It’s less saw trap and more Bathroom Confessions 2.0 featuring Jigsaw as a dead body that they barely acknowledged.

Jigsaw is pissed.

They get rescued but not by cops - by a bunch of teenagers - so no one calls the cops about the gross dead body on the floor. Jigsaw has to get up after his failed trap.

So he puts them in the trap house.

TMA Gravity Falls au: starring John and Sasha, the new summer apprentices of Gertrude Robinson

Lore below cut 👁:

So this is less of a "copy and paste the TMA characters into gravity falls" au, and more of a mash up between the two shows ig? Basically John's grandma and Sasha's parents sent their respective kids off to London for an archival apprenticeship under Gertrude Robinson

They thought it would look good on their resumes I guess?

So gravity falls type scary shenanigans happen with a pinch of tma typical horror and it's a swell time.

I plan to post some more doodles and more eloquently written lore if people are interested! (I'll post more stuff even if people aren't interested bcus I'm interested)

botw2 (totk rewritten) ganondorf design post 2.0

(the better, less rambly one, bc i shouldnt be allowed to write when its past midnight- not deleting the other one bc i am a little whimp and am getting so bad decision paralysis over it its made me cry, this one is more heavy on design and the basic plot of the game)

Basic plot summary (shorter version- longer version at the end):

sheikah in service of the ancient queen discover remnants of the past while excavating for luminous stones, these remnants were being defended/kept safe by the sonau (engl. zonai) little shy cave dwellers who have kept these last ruins save but secret bc they thought it could lead to disaster seemingly aware of the ever repeating cycle and believing it to be not divine but a self perpetuated one built on the one sided history of the past, which is a threat to hyrule and its golden legacy; these ruins speak of a world threatening evil being born as the king of the gerudo, the ancient queen thus plans to lure him into a trap to seal him away before he can realize his destiny, he learns of it however and is forced to confront the queen through breaking into the castle, she sees that as a confirmation of her fears and it escalates into a battle between them that kills everyone that was in the throne room except the young princess- the queen sealing ganondorf as the room and parts of the castle is destroyed and buried beneath the ground. (the game largely revolves around finding clues about it, especially in sealed off caves of the now long extinct sonau)

except for the scene in the throne room nothing is clearly shown of the past, but it is the background behind everything

(zeldas main struggle in this game will be having to come to terms with her families legacy, what she thought and was taught not being true, the dark secrets buried everywhere, and perhaps trying to be better, now that all of hyrules been destroyed and the lands and people yet survived)

Mummy version:

what you discover beneath hyrule castle after going to investigate the failing of shiekah tech all around, it is a clearly shiekah made system all around, though the chamber you find him in was built around him after the sealing, it being implied they used his spiritual power as the main energy source for all future tech, once disturbed the seal breaks and fuses to zelda (similar to the og trailer with link) he wakes up, the shock of suddendly being back in this broken body leading him to rather viciously attack them, the mastersword breaks and link loses his arm, the cave crumbles and zelda flees as she drags link behind her- the cataclysm happens and links gets his shiekah tech arm.

(in the little sketch there is a very roughly approximation to where ganondorf is located at the start and mid game fight, the arena you fought calamity ganon in is in reality a sphere with the lower half being an energy reserve for the royal family and further down the mechanism for the rising pillars from botw, its located between the castle and ganondorfs chamber, to quickly react when the malice build up has reached a critical point to detect immediately and start the defense programm- its all broken but still explorable after the mid point)

ganondorfs body is very damanged, the hole in his chest from the seal leads into an empty cavity, the ribs broken and bent in a swirling pattern like a gravitational pull, his right arm was desolved over time as he defensively grabbed the queens arm in his last moments; the face is more bone and there are no eyes, he does not move his jaw to speak, his hair is more like smoke after a certain amount of progression in the game the castle that fell into the underground (current hyrule castle) bc of the cataclysm is made accessible, as you venture in link is grabbed and pulled further in, seperated from zelda, she later rejoins you in the dungeon, acting all normal unless you are observant and see her using her left arm only and walking past things she normally wouldnt- at a certain point once the camera is not watching her, she suddendly starts to attack you viciously, as it was ganondorf in disguise- after the second half the real zelda breaks into the room with your friends in tow (yunobo, teba+tulin, riju, sidon) and he drops the disguise, the rest of the fight is against his mummy form, at the end of which is the cutscene of the confrontation with the queen, it is the only time you are given a direct window into the past. (plus its shown in that cutscene he has the ability to disguise himself as others, but only AFTER you have encountered it as to not ruin that moment..)

post revival/restored: this is how he appears at the end of the game, the last dungeon is within the forgotten plateau, there is a longer cutscene of zelda and him talking while tension builds until the fight begins once your friends arrive (sidenote, this is also only unlocked with more progression, including the koga and deku dungeon and the master sword restoration quest)

this design isnt fully how he was in the past but fit to the circumstances now, but restored to the best of his abilities; he is older (50+) with greying hair; i wanted to make him look both strong and a little worn out, but with a vibe of incredible power he is well aware of as well as warmth the outfit is elaborate but mostly aimed to be practical, its easy to see he used to be a proud king, and still is, even if no one remembers him anymore; he wears a little armguard on the left to for deflecting purposes, his belt is also switched around to how it was originally to make drawing his sword easier with the left arm; a little wooden boar figurine carved from the wood of long extinct trees hangs on his belt, a gift from one of his daughters perhaps he wields magic with ease and his moveset makes it clear just how good of a fighter he is, even after thousands and thousands of years without motion, his moves are controlled and practiced- the magic is also NOT just based on malice, malice might be what keeps him alive now but its not all he is, he wields lightning and simpler moves with other elements, perhaps implying that magic was more widely spread back in his day .. or he has learned to wield it in part to the repeated interactions with the other races (both in the past, and as calamity ganon- it is made clear that whatever the malice eyes saw he saw as well, (also explaining how he can speak their languages) though it is also implied that the calamity as such is not fully his own making, but something familiar reaching out to try and help him break free -NOT anythign demise related, leave the guy alone- but going with the idea of the calamity having been what remained of oot ganondorf after degrading over all this time- a kindred spirit reaching out to take revenge together in a way

Beast Ganon(dorf), normal

Beast Ganon(dorf), charging magic

phase 3 of the end fight, after phase two he takes out all your friends and tranforms, chasing you (link and zelda) through the ground until breaking through to the surface of the plateau where this battle takes place.

his design is loosely inspired by the smoke version of calamity ganon and twilight princess beast ganon, his face and teeth mostly from the calamity- his back is split open with a shiekah tech spine, given his connection to it via being its power source as well as overtaking it in botw, reddish smoke eminating from it, hes has 5 limbs as he is still missing his right arm, the big dark arms are made of malice and in phase 2 he takes one of those big arms to 'rebuild' his missing one, though it is not as well usable like a real one, his braids carry over thoguh now dark black, when charging magic it lights up in waves; the tail is flat and he moves not all that beast like, more draconic really, able to float for short periods of time and 'swim' through the ground reminiscent of moldoras his attack pattern is changed to fit this appearance, but he still uses magic in varying ways, thouhg swiping and biting after you as well, he will sometimes go for zelda directly but she will usually protect herself in a bubble of light- typical weak point is within the mouth though he makes sure to not give you alot of opportunities, typical staggers migth include destroying a front leg (since those are all made of goo)

my aim with this was to create a beast version both familiar and very different, with the vibe of, this is still him, just another appearance, though angered and more agressive he has not lost himself, perhaps even enjoying it a little, feeling a little more alive again, though he does not care for this world, he is a stranger here, this isnt his time and all that ever mattered to him is long gone, destroyed or forgotten, now all that matters to him is to end zeldas rotten family

Phase 2 and Phase 4 (out of order bc big boar lad wouldnt fit on here)

in phase 2 he 'rebuilds' his missing arm with one taken from the boar form, as it appears afterwards, he changes his sword into a larger one during the second half and can change its hilt length on the fly, making it both a big sword and a spear- the malice arm will be used to mimic some of links abilities, like the hookshot, grabbing onto you from afar, pulling you closer or flinging you around, while still being largely a swordfight with magic- he can aim lightning directly at you just as you can via the shiekah arm and rijus ability, if you are quick enough you can activate it at the same time as he does and catch the charge instead, either refilling your magic meter or deflecting it back at him (like the god ol back and forth)

phase 4 is the final phase after beast (phase 3) his design is a mix of all forms, he is larger than in 1 and 2, furry all over and although much more human again his hair is all smoke like, the armguard fused to his arm like golden scales and the wound in the chest now broken open again with malice eyes staring from within

after phase 3 it seems like the battle is over and zelda steps up to do just as she did at botw end, but before she can finish it a swordslash cuts off half her right hand, as ganondorf isnt done yet and changed from phase 3 to 4; zelda is then disabled for this last fight (no fighting support and repairing weapons), shes been taken to safety by your friends, who finally managed to follow you up here, and you, link, are now the last one standing- his moveset is a mix of it all, quickly changing between swordplay and swipes, magical abilities and grab attacks, it is faster than the previous ones and he dodges much more as well, its meant to really be a challenge

(also heres a sketch of his swords?)

Long plot summary: the shiekah in the service of the ancient queen of hyrule discovered ancient remnants of times long past (aka the old titles, long forgotten) while excavating for luminous stones (as they were developing their tech and needed something to fuel it) that speak of a world threatening evil born as the king of the gerudo, which the queen takes as a warning of the past, and as there currently is a ganondorf as the gerudos king who refuse to unite under her banner but are otherwise on neutral terms she plans to imprison him in a stasis between life and death before he can become that world threatening evil she now believes he is destined to be in order to save everyone and delay it from returning as long as possible (assuming there will be no other male gerudo born while the current one is technically still alive)

(the discovery of said remnants of the past also involves the shiekah persecuting the sonau (zonai), little shy cave dwellers who keep their distance from everyone and have kept these last ruins save but secret bc they thought it could lead to disaster seemingly aware of the ever repeating cycle and believing it to be not divine but a self perpetuated one built on the one sided history of the past, self fullfilling prophecies, which is a threat to hyrule and its golden legacy)

its a plan enacted over years, including secretly manipulating things to make the gerudo farmlands wield bad harvests (NOT in a 'desert was green and lush uwu' way, but they have had their techniques to thrive), forcing them to trade with hyrule and starting to depend on it- the goal being to put ganondorf under so much pressure until he is willing to let go of their sovereignity for the sake of his people or otherwise willing to talk, the meeting with the queen however would be to lure him into a trap and enact the seal

ganondorf here is a new one, he is named so in honor of old myths and legends, he is older (50+) and has two daughters, a proud king and firm in his stance to not bow to anyone yet wanting to avoid conflict for the sake of his people and family; he learns of the scheme before its fully realized, including that the many years of failing crops and dying animals might not be a play of nature after all (through hyrule soldiers talking too much after a having a few too many drinks? something something about their view of the gerudo, since thats always in the games, lets make use of it no?) he sends messengers and messages to the queen, requesting an audience, but she rejects all of it and refuses to talk with him, as the plan isnt fully prepared yet and she has become fearful of him over the years of obsessing over the warnings of the past and the worlds fate, as she sees it, depending on her and the success of it

at some point he has had enough of it and disguises himself and his two most trusted advisors/warriors (potentially his mothers?) as the shiekahs leader and two underlings to finally get to the queen, aiming to confront her about everything- it works and they are let into the castle, overwhelm the guards locking the doors so its only him, his advisors and the royal family with a few taken out guards etc. the queen sees this as a confirmation of his true nature coming through though- he can see there is nothing he could do to convince her he is not what she thinks he is, he attempts to be diplomatic but she is unwavering in her faith

she gives him a choice, to be sealed willingly so he can be remembered as a noble king who gave his life for the world before he became the beast that would threaten to destroy it all, or refuse and risk war and defamation. he refuses of course and a fight ensues, escalating to the point of the throne room itself being send below the earth and the death of everyone within it, with the exception of the young princess of hyrule (who will go on to keep this secret safe and spin the story her way)

it is implied that ganondorf had not told alot of people about hyrules schemes, wanting to deescalate the situation and it ending in a way no one anticipated, but theres remnants of old gerudo villages hidden away as some stayed loyal to him, likely of one of his daughters, as the world turned his legacy into a frightful tale and the gerudo falling under hyrules rule, one chose to resist as the other chose to bow

( .. i hoped to strike a balance between what i like and what zelda stories usually amount to while leaning much more clearly into a hyrule critical lense .. without, hopefully, being too overtly so)

(i thought about making the mid game cutscene into a rough comic or storyboard but im honestly very unsure about it all again q-q)

(i hope this version is better, i will never post these drawing again i swear im done with this part ..)

[nickythehickey]

a list of disability representation in the sfthverse (updated/corrected version)

that's right, i'm not done with this yet. bc it still needed improvements, and what better time than now?

im making this version its own post instead of a reblog so that it's all more cohesive and condensed together, and so it's easier to read everything in one place

also, the greatest and sincerest massive thanks to everyone who contributed their suggestions/corrections on the original list (sorry for tagging if that's annoying): @spacedustmantis, @sosbanfach64, @obsidian-sys, @very-confused-alpaca, @fairy-princette, @sw33t-transv3stit3, @ethernitty, @bewilderednobody, @doodle-ratz, @apolloisbored, @local-human-disaster, @dereks-unrelenting-heart, @older-than-the-devil, @y-a-w-p, @radio-and-the-dirt, and @dorydotcom. you all really are very helpful, and i really appreciate the support. this is something i had decided to do on a whim but pretty quickly realized it was important at least to me, so im glad to see it means so much to others too

*for the purposes of the list, "disability" includes physical/mental/developmental disabilities, neurodivergence, chronic illnesses, and mental health conditions

*i still easily could've missed some. i also can't get the patreon rn so there's no patreon exclusive characters. if you know of any more feel free to reply and i'll look into adding them!

canon (either explicit or heavily implied)

bubba (inside the mysterious cube) is stated to be an amputee with prosthetic legs

peter steven (the milkman) is stated to have adhd. since adhd has a large genetic component, that implies that one or both of his parents likely also has it- my money's on david, since peter seems to mostly take after him. peter and david also both have glasses (i think? i’ve seen people say so but if that came up in the longform i didn’t pick up on it)

post mortem, L (the creak in the attic) is mute and uses mime/sign language and possession as forms of aac. he also has an unexplained voice in his head

donnie (the detective vs. the christmas tree bandits) is explicitly stated to have adhd and an unspecified seizure disorder (@/obsidian-sys suggested functional neurological disorder and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, which is what im choosing to go with). "i was never good with numbers" could be interpreted as dyscalculia as well. frankie may also have adhd, bc again genetics

chip (the cardboard stegosaurus) has an unspecified seizure disorder, and while she isn't present, we learn that his mother marie-claire was suicidal

amanda (clarissa's diy wedding) is all but confirmed to have prosopagnosia, or face blindness

according to divorces and teddy bears, the entire north pole elf population has adhd. congrats on the diagnosis luke i mean snowdrop

that one gas station man (the pilot's final flight) and bill hannigan's father (death for a dollar) are both blind

mrs jeffery (the milkman) was blind at the beginning of the scene. they ended up not going with that, but she probably does still have poor vision. she also has a bad hip, the nature of which is never fully elaborated on, so it can be interpreted as a range of physical disabilities

the bartender (the hare who wore a sweater) slut dropped so hard his knees exploded. im not sure what to count this as tbh, but as a person with vague undiagnosed joint fuckery myself, he makes the list regardless

julian (the phantom of hornchurch) is dyslexic

mother xavier (the leftenmost window) has chronic migraines

john hobson sr (the creak in the attic), sam (beetroots and murder), henry (green leaves on a summer's day), and noblin (the bard with a scar) all likely have some degree of ptsd. there's also some implication that beetroot sam has auditory hallucinations

mark (clarissa's diy wedding) for sure has cptsd. very show don't tell, this one is (which is probably why i missed it first time around)

tobias's granddad (wine under the bridge) has very poor vision and, based on body language, appears to use a walker, suggesting mobility issues

sherlock (mystery of the midnight circus & the final baker of baker street) uses a cane. he also appears to have some form of dementia in midnight circus

jericho (no! i always loved that caravan) has an unspecified(? not personally knowledgeable enough to know if there’s a specific one) speech impediment

the pianist (death for a dollar) is missing fingers

mama twilliger (green leaves on a summer's day) has a glass eye

the keeper of the oil (the lighthouse) has back problems. pretty severe back problems too based on luke practically standing sideways to portray it

pinnochio (the grape depression). also should be here but idk what to call whatever his deal is. he's just generally fragile and weak

the-middle-child-maybe-named-johnny (oh no it's a door) has a stutter (i said no patreon, but @/bewilderednobody told me about it, so i might as well include it)

madame petrova (ballet on the battlefield) had an accident that left her with limited mobility, prompting her switch from performing to teaching

inspector whitstable (the haunted diary entry) uses a cane

the thomases (the enigma of the high visionary) are probably autistic. i do not like the use of functioning labels, but i genuinely don't know how else we're supposed to interpret "high functioning boy/dad"

im gonna be bold and move johnny and janae (the neighbor's under the bed) being autistic from headcanon to canon. it just makes too much textual sense. adding that janae is the textbook example of savant syndrome and that johnny all but explicitly has a developmental disorder

headcanons (still implied like at least a little bit but mostly up to interpretation)

*(this section is messy, it's more me sensing vibes than anything else, there's almost definitely some projection in there, honestly you can disregard it if you want. spoilers it's mostly autism bc that's me)

alan (the bard with a scar) says that he can't run fast, maybe implying mobility issues? i like to think so

jimmy (toby's secret pocket) and jeffery (party quirks) are both autistic to me. jeffrey specifically bc he reminds me immensely of how i felt and acted the first and only time i threw a party. jimmy’s trouble with doors could also be seen as him having dyspraxia, which is frequently comorbid w/ autism

titch (the unrelenting aubergine) is practically a poster child for alexithymia and autistic gifted kid burnout (also after being repeatedly told this i took an alexithymia test for myself and learned there's a very strong possibility i have it too. neat). while we're at it derek has some vibes too, but not as strongly

someone in the comments of ballet on the battlefield pointed out alexa stimming after she befriends janusz and i love that so im saying she's some flavor of neurodivergent

alfred ("why did you eat that" flurry) is potentially autistic, that man is so deeply blind to social cues. just like me fr

wine under the bridge in general can be read as a disability allegory if you wanted to, but im unsure if there's anything texually there

because of the way i visualize character designs for sfth, pretty much any character luke played while wearing glasses (like andrew (all eyes on nigel) or fullset o'hands) also wears glasses. im not gonna list them all bc frankly i don't know them all, just know they're included

i like feels like too positive of a word take interest in the idea of annabelle (priscilla's final petal) possibly having postpartum psychosis, causing her violent behavior and ultimately her death

aj's don juan (the merengue haberdashery) seems to potentially have narcolepsy or another sleep disorder? he falls asleep without warning a lot

it's unclear how much of acd watson carries over to watsam (midnight circus/final baker), but acd watson is heavily implied to have ptsd from military service, as well as chronic pain and mobility issues from a traumatic leg injury

i can't imagine john jacob (the off-season) getting shot wouldn't cause some long term problems, both physical and psychological

in the beginning of toby’s secret pocket, toby asks don ciciccio if he’s blind and the don never answers. shrodinger’s visual impairment

corrections (some small patch notes of sorts to directly address things the original list got wrong, for the sake of transparency and to clear up potential misinformation)

in the first update to the list, i suggested that midnight circus watson could have psychosis or a dissociative disorder. this was false, as there is no solid evidence to support it

i accidentally swapped alan and frankie's names when covering tbwas

originally, i said that johnny and janae are like the extreme incarnation of the thing that often happens to autistic people (myself included) where when you're a young kid people think you're mature for your age but then once you're older people think you're immature. i just want to clarify that when i say that, i mean from like a narrative foil perspective, not necessarily in reference to them as people. bc as people that's not how that works

i erroneously claimed that the specific mention of flashing lights in the strip club likely indicates donnie having photosensitive epilepsy. this was not necessarily true

(7/11) added don ciciccio’s potential visual impairment that may or may not have stayed part of his character, i genuinely can’t tell
