ASKING BEFORE I FORGET. is gaffen told by rhoam that he died once he reveals that hes the king/if not when does he realize and does he. Think about it sometomes
yea he is! rhoam pads it in some less than specific language but he pieces it together pretty quickly. rhoam also slowly leads up to it over time, telling him vaguely about people that he knew who died to guardians, and that the land beyond the great plateau is very empty because of the calamity.
AND UH he thinks about it very weirdly. there's a strange disconnect between how he feels about it and how his body reacts. gaffen loves to pretend he doesn't care that he died that it's all in the past hakuna matata etc. gets a little melancholy sometimes about those things that seem reasonable for botw link to get weepy about but eh, no use crying over spilled milk. but his body remembers. he'll get flashbacks of nothing, dreams of hazy figures, strange reactions to guardians. he either tries to ignore it or thinks it's stupid or both
post brainworms he tries not to think about it. this is where he actually starts processing that he died, and sort of reconciles his mind and body-- the flashbacks start to fade, he's able to develop a few better coping mechanisms. dying is embarrassing. it's shameful that he failed once; it's proof of how incompetent he is, frightening and confusing. he wonders why he wasn't replaced, then counters that with the question of who would he be replaced by, which doesn't help.

hmm character ask game...22 and 14 for ganondorf if you haven't gotten them already
14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.
THIS ONE IS HARD BECAUSE I HAVE 1 MILLION AUS. Okay so in general, and this may sound shocking, I don't know maybe, but I'm not a big fan of him being so heavily armored just because I think it hinders him more than it helps him. My personal headcanon is that he only wears armor when he enters Hyrulean territory as a way to olook more imposing, to look the part of a warlord that won't allow himself to be swayed so easily by political jabber. In general, I prefer to imagine him in ornate robes, well covered and protected from the sun, his clothing spelled to offer as much protection as any set of armor would in combat. Something like these:

(YOU COULD MAKE HIM SO PRETTY NINTENDO YOU REALLY CAN-)
22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?
What I like? I really like depictions of him where he is shown to be regal, well spoken, while also having that underlying passive-aggressiveness and bite to his words. Where he is depicted with all the splendour and power of a king, where you can see that he does have a hand that is capable of administering a rule that retains law and order but is also not afraid to put a sword in his hands to cut down his enemies. I also really like when people delve into his more personal habits when writing their stories, little touches that he appreciates, small talk with people that he does care for, the things that annoy him or creep him out slightly etc. In other words, I just like it when people make him feel like the king he is but also a person that has his own likes and dislikes, his own worries and fears and hopes, even if his overarching goal is still to conquer Hyrule. Where we can see his bad traits for what they are, a person's character fashioned by his circumstances and not "I am like this because I am evil and born to be evil". What I don't like, and it's probably something I have discussed, is when people lay it on too thick with the curse of Demise. I don't mind depictions of Ganondorf where he is seen to inherit Demise's will, or inheriting his power in some shape or form to oppose Hyrule, but I despise the idea that Ganondorf is evil because of Demise possessing him. It sort of undermines the fact that Ganondorf and the Gerudo have genuine grievances with Hyrule, that the entire reason Ganondorf is causing trouble is because he is born as a reincarnation of hatred and is a demon, and that otherwise he is innocent and obedient and would never cause war with his neighbors.
Questions are here!

…what birds would jo, diosia, and alt ganon be…. also any favorite birds. or bird facts
OHH i actually have assigned birds to some of them :] iirc ganon has been a cooper's hawk for a while and I think it still fits him. he's gone through some pretty drastic changes over the past year or so, so i've considered harpy eagle but...eh i still think cooper's hawk is better. jo is a savannah sparrow! diosia is an agami heron :]
uhh favorite birds. i rly like cockatiels, chickens, peacocks as well...and pigeon. corvids and parrots ofc. ALSO if we can count archeopteryx then yes
