new event alert!!!! what is this?

Inspired by my other event, @treebarktitleswap I, @thatapolloguy have decided to run a full fandom event (and there WILL be mod applications soon because I am going to lose my mind if i do it alone)

basically, people think of titles! it can be anything from a song lyric to something a streamer said on stream, or something from your own wonderful mind. they submit these titles to us. We compile the titles into a list.

artists and writers or any other kind of creative will then have time to claim the titles. It’s low stakes non-competitive, but artists and writers can only pick 3 at a time just for their own sake.

artists must draw a sketch, or more if they want to.

writers must write 300 words, or more if they want to.

if they need to drop a prompt at any time or swap it out for a new one, that’s a-okay. its intended to be low stakes, non-competitive

presumed faqs

firstly, before I jump into some questions, this event will function on don’t like don’t read. I personally find it far too difficult to moderate things based on ever-changing creator boundaries and fandom accepted stances on RPF. With that said, the archive warnings of Rape/Non-con and Underage will not be allowed, and additionally incest and adult/minor relationships will not be allowed.

Are NSFW works allowed? No, for ease of modding, this event is SFW only, although mature rated works are allowed as long as they are not rated mature for sexual content. Implied sexual content is allowed.

Is shipping allowed? Yes, shipping is allowed.

Is RPF allowed? Yes, RPF is allowed.

if you have specific questions about a tag or a genre that is or isn’t allowed, shoot me an ask.

this event will be accepting all MCYT fandoms.

There are plenty of valid interpretations for our LU boys, considering the malleable definition of "canon" in our fandom. I really enjoy the dynamics when I give manga-Shadow back to Four. But I also think that, for some of my preferred versions of Four, loss is a major theme of his life and his personality. (I won't write the essay here for now.)

I believe that Four is the kind of person who knows that things change. He doesn't have the same kind of resentment that Legend does about the fact, or hope that it will change like Twilight, but—due to the loss of so many important people in his life, and the inevitability of growing up and losing the Minish, and being one of the more forgotten earlier heroes—I do think he harbors a sort of deep melancholy and acceptance about the flow of time. There's just... a lot to be said for keeping Shadow dead.

[cryingtulips]

some names dsmp characters get called, russian edition (with bad translation), because russian has much more flavor when it comes to nicknames and insults:

c!dream: гад ('bastard', also used as a name for all reptiles and amphibians), змий ('serpent' but fancy), иго тёмное (as an unjust oppressive power and the "dark times" under its control), тёмная сила ('dark force')

c!tommy: паразит, дармоед, нахлебник (all can be translated as 'parasite', also 'sponger'), гадёныш ('bastard' but smol), глист ('worm', as in 'a skinny child'), поганец (also 'bastard', but not that derogatory)

c!techno: витязь, богатырь (both mean heroes in folk russian legends, both used in an endearing way)

RevaLink Week 2025 Day 4

COMPLIMENT

[cryingtulips]

about a month ago I started replaying all Zelda games in chronological order and ever since then I've been toying with the idea of drawing all/most of the incarnations in some cohesive manner.

I've now finally settled on these Mucha-inspired diptychs, starting of course with the game that started it all!

Once More to See You

Sapphic Vidow where Shadow is gone and siren!Dark Link tries to kill Vio; inspo from this video

-☾🌊☾-

There’s a voice that sings at night. It shimmers with the moonlight, aerial whistles dancing with the tide and waves, luring Vio further into the dangerous waters. She should be afraid as she sits in her boat, oars laying beside her. The boat rocks side to side, an echo of someone’s embrace as the stars twinkle in the heavens above. 

She looks to her reflection, to her haggard appearance and the bruises under her eyes. She’s lost weight over the months, desperately searching every book in the castle archive for answers. She’s close to the solution, she knows it.

Blue says she’s being delusional, and Red says she needs help. Green won’t look at her anymore, but that’s fine. Well, it will be fine. Once she gets Shadow back, once she can kiss their lips and feel their heartbeat again. Only then will she be able to rest.

“Hello love,” the being with her lover’s face pops out of the water, dark scales eclipsing the boat and swallowing the moonlight. Vio watches as the water drips down, plop plop plop timed similar to the pulsation she desperately searches for. “It’s been a while,” the being pouts, “I was worried you abandoned me again.” It drapes itself onto the wood, languid body language except for the predatory glint in its eyes.

The colors are wrong; black skin a shade too dark, eyes vibrant red instead of the comforting magenta, and the dark hair lacks purple highlights. The voice is flat, monotone, but this being is close enough for Vio. If she closes her eyes, she can fool herself into thinking that this is her Shadow.

It’s not the same, but it will be enough until Vio can find her answers. Until she can bring them back.

“I would never leave you,” she tells the being with malevolent eyes. Her words are always meant for another soul.

The being tugs on her arms, webbed fingers wrapping around her wrists, and Vio shifts back, barely blinking at the action. The claws drag until red bleeds, but Vio remains steady as she sits more securely in the boat. 

“Will you swim with me tonight?” The siren tries again, razor-sharp teeth glinting from what reflecting light doesn't get absorbed in its scales. “It gets very lonely out here. I missed you.”

It’s an echo of familiar words, of a lonely shade who only desired friendship; a true connection. They were reflections, Vio and Shadow. Fellow outcasts who only craved understanding, and found that and more in each other.

Vio blinks as tears spill down her cheeks, and she has to wipe them away with a sniffle. Shadow would never hesitate to wipe her tears away, but there’s things not even sirens will care to pretend for. 

“Not tonight,” Vio rasps out, hands shaky as they cling to the siren, around the unfamiliar webbing and tough scales. Blood continues to drip down her wrist, and the being digs its claws into Vio’s grasp, pinpricks of pain drawing a gasp. It’s getting bolder.

“There’s still work to do.”

Following The Light (To You)

The wind picks up around them, pulling at Link’s hair in gentle tosses with ghostly caresses. Revali crouches with his wings flaring out, feathers brilliant in how they shine. “See you next time,” and with a blink, he’s gone. Link breathes out, something churning in his chest, a wishful hope that refuses to stay buried. This is the first time Revali admits he looks forward to Link’s company. Or, 6 times Link and Revali accidentally run into each other, and the one time they meet up with a purpose.
