are there even any blocktales fans on tumblr. Lmao anyways here's my BT OC.

Powder Snow (they/it) They're the child of the Cruel King and the supposed heir to Blackrock. Powder thought they were exiled for not being good enough, turns out it was for their own safety. Powder has a strange connection to the Ice Dagger. It can emulate some of its abilities, and if they ever wielded it, dire things would happen. Cruel King exiled Powder to protect them from the Ice Dagger. Powder regrets never reconciling with its father before his passing.

you know, I appreciate that botw and totk are their own contained timeline. It used to piss me off before (because I was trying to follow those theories of where and how those games fit into the timeline). But now I appreciate that for my first 2 zelda games, I didn't need to study over 2 decades of lore to understand what was going on.

Just got sent a pdf of the Hyrule Encyclopedia! Can't wait to start reading! Hoping to learn a little more about the timeline :)

the way her loved ones keep dying around her. The way bad things keep happening in Hyrule SEEMINGLY because of her actions. The way that she always feels the need to sacrifice herself for the sake of others. Ooohhh sacrificial lamb Zelda my beloved.

we, as a community, don't talk enough about how Zelda is kinda Nintendo's punching bag

yknow how artists have that one oc that they torture and traumatize for no reason. That's Zelda to the loz devs

just ordered a copy of the novel and it's coming soon. Very excited to experience the story

A Watership Down OC in 2025!? Yes, and I'm obsessed with her. Meet Forsythia.

Conceptual designs. I'm very inspired by Joe Sutphin's artstyle, and his work on the WSD Graphic Novel.

studies I did before realizing jackrabbits don't make warrens...

Forsythia's lore is that she's a mythical figure in Lapine folklore. She is blessed by Frith with the ability to become human so she can defend her warren from elil (even men).

However, Forsythia begins struggling with her identities as a rabbit and human. She is eventually exiled by her warren for being a 'traitor'. She roams the earth to this day, secretly defending rabbits from elil.

Here's some concepts I've made of her human form, but that final design will have to come soon! 😉

(maybe I'll make a lorepost of her in the future, if y'all wanna see that...)

new SerLink doodle just dropped

The funny thing about SerLink's dynamic is that their whole thing is "guy who is always ready to protect others and sacrifice himself x guy who is ready to protect him"

I hc Link being this guy who has 0 self worth and doesn't think he's worth saving.

When he meets Sere, someone sworn to protect him, Link genuinely cannot fathom it. He can't fathom someone valuing his life over another. This is where most of Link and Sere's conflict stems (Other than Sere's initial distrust of Link)

Sere's masterpost: here :3

Watership Down fanart in 2025? It's more likely than you think

[ophanim-vesper]

Trolls AU of SerLink bc I'm going insane

yes I'm hyperfixating on Trolls again.

Btw Sere is my TOTK OC!! You can read his masterpost here

Link is mute, tho whether it's a physical condition or selective mutism is up to you. He communicates solely through his ocarina (think like the Pied Piper from Shrek 4?)

Sere isn't mute, but is quiet and speaks rarely. The two find solace in each other, not needing to communicate verbally, only harmonizing through their music.

Also idk if this is set in the canon Trolls universe or is a Trolls AU version of Hyrule. You can decide. Lmk if you guys wanna see Troll Zelda too.

whatever keeps the fandom alive at this point am i right

a child. But instead of some Peter Parker "I KNEW IT WAS YOU" type situation, the villain is humiliated for being beaten multiple times by a 12 year old

"Now behold! Behold as I unmask your...beloved...hero...?" The villain's voice trailed off as he tore open said hero's crippled mech suit on live TV, only to reveal something quite...unexpected.

sort of follow-up to this post bc something sorta related happened. A while back I watched an analysis video for an ARG called "GEB Operating System". You can watch the vid here.

like 10 or so minutes into the video there was a scene that went something like "he is a boy, he is a boy!", "she. She's a girl." and I immediately clocked it as the protag being trans. Fully prepared for the yt narrator to completely gloss over the detail. Was shocked to straight up hear them say "I think Nora is trans." See, it IS possible for theorists to recognize the queer subtext in horror! Now if only more of them could just hop off their parallel universe theory high horse and just say "x is queer"

not naming names but there seems to be a frequent pattern of online theorists who believe that nonsensical, 'pulled-out-of-their-ass' explanations that have never been implied by the narrative at all seem to be more plausible than a character being queer.
