I am currently trying to archive all official translations of the Four Swords manga, but I am having trouble securing the Mexican Spanish and Argentinian Spanish translations. If you are someone living in Mexico or Argentina who can send a copy of either translation to the United States, please message me. I will reimburse you for all costs and pay you for your time and effort.

You thought I was using the purple heart emoji to honor bootboys? No… It's because I love Violet "Vio" Link. 💜

The implication that Shadow took two of the three throw pillows/picked the side with more throw pillows because he's a selfish asshole who wants more embellishment around him is so funny to me. Never mind the fact that it's a nod to how he does not see Vio as an equal and does not truly value him. It's just funny. I hate him. I hope he chokes.

Can you believe Hibiki Houjou is a lesbian and Kanade Minamino is bisexual? Love is so awesome.

It is genuinely surprising that no one gives a shit about Green and Vio as a duo considering the fact that they canonically had a fight to the death and get paired together in many other circumstances (Vio asking Green if he's losing confidence in himself at the start of their journey, Vio pretending that Green is with him in the Temple of Darkness, the Big Poe's lie about killing them together, Vio being cautious about Green's plan to destroy their father at the Tower of Winds, Green following the fake Vio at the Palace of Winds).

I wonder, in a post-manga AU, at what point the default state of Link became being split in four rather than being whole. I wonder if Link stays split because he's running away from having to wrestle with four different sets of memories and the emotions tied to those memories. I wonder if people call Link "boring" when he's whole and how that affects him. Does he hate himself? Does he hate himselves?

RIP to Manatsu Natsuumi and Uta Sakura. You would have been the best of friends and also an unstoppable force of nature.

Vio thinks that his entire purpose is to be a tool for others to use, and he is grateful for it. Shadow thinks that his entire purpose is to be a tool for others to use, and he resents it greatly. Of course they're going to hate each other and tear each other apart.

Link says, "I love you." And Shadow just shakes his head and replies, "If this is your love, then I don't want it."

As much as Green tries to stay positive and lively when talking to Shadow, I wonder if they get along best when Green lets his guard down and just talks about his negative emotions without any filter (because that's when Shadow feels that Green is at his most genuine). I love the idea that Green just starts venting around him, and he apologizes when he realizes what he's done, but Shadow tells him not to apologize. And they have this moment where they see each other, and Green is shocked, and Shadow is reservedly curious. It's something about Shadow enjoying when Link is miserable, but also realizing that Green is a real person who trusts him despite everything.

Yes, he does feel empty afterward. By the way.

Anyway I firmly believe that if Shadow were trying to kill Link, he wouldn't use magic or his sword to deliver the final blow. He would strangle him just to see the look on his face and to feel when he stops moving. Nothing else would be good enough.

The greatest tragedy in video game history is that Four Swords Adventures would have worked perfectly as an online multiplayer game on the Wii U. We will never have it.

People are going to hate me for saying this but it must be said. "Mesmerizer" by 32ki is a song about Link (Miku) and Shadow Link (Teto).

I was reading a Barnes & Noble editor's promotion for the FS manga once where they claimed that one of the Links' main problems is that they "need to be whole again", which is interesting because this problem is really never addressed until the very end - except that's not even true. When the Links are separated in chapters 4 and 11, they all feel a sense of urgency/desire to be with the others again. What an interesting aspect of their relationship, especially considering how they seem sad to be merging together at the end but ultimately go through with it with smiles of relief on their faces. Something about how they need each other - and by extension, how Link has learned to love all parts of himself - is really sweet.

I firmly believe that Marisa Kirisame has antisocial personality disorder and therefore has infinite coolness.
