tertiary education is so weird because they will remind you every two weeks of a concept you were taught when you were 14 and you feel like a clown at the circus but then they suddenly go "and THIS is the maths behind the theoretical existence of wormholes and also what we think the inside of a black hole is like". and sometimes these are happening simultaneously. baffling. fabulous. keep me guessing

Minish Meeting

Written for @legendoflinkficfight for @rebornofstars’s prompt: Link takes Zelda to meet the Minish!

The transformation is harder without Ezlo, and that always makes Link's heart ache. Today, the ache is quickly overcome by excitement. Link rolls out of the stump and lands on his feet with his hands on his hips-he wants to show off, and who would blame him. This is Zelda's first time seeing the Minish! He has to make it special!

Zelda leans down with her magnifying glass and gasps in awe. "You're tiny! And adorable!"

Link blushes. "Wait here!"

He scampers off to find the closest Minish. Convincing them to reveal themself to Zelda isn't hard.

"Any friend of yours is a friend of mine!" The minish squeals. Link is honored by their trust in him, and he vows to himself that he will never, ever break it.

Link jumps and twirls in joy, and flaps his hands—paws?—excitedly all the way back to Zelda. The minish joins in the fun, skipping and singing and laughing alongside Link.

Zelda is looking around the forest in wonder when they return. Link has to jump on her lap and tug on her dress to get her attention. "Zelda! Over here!"

The minish is hiding behind a mushroom. Link waves them over, then slides down Zelda's dress to hold their hand.

"It's okay," Link reassures. “This is Zelda. She's my best friend! And she's really, really good at keeping secrets."

The minish chitters approvingly and follows when Link gently tugs their hand. Zelda holds the magnifying glass above them and leans over to see.

"Hello, little one," Zelda says.

The minish waves. "Hello!"

"Oh, you're so cute. I absolutely adore your hat."

The minish trills and preens. They let go of Link's hand to hold their hat out and describe the details in the stitching. Zelda listens intently.

Out of the corner of his eye, Link sees more minish approaching curiously. Link giggles and goes to collect them. Everyone will want to meet Zelda, and he wants to make sure she loves them all.

these last two weeks i have been finding it IMPOSSIBLE to lock in anywhere except for On The Train, which is not the worst, because i catch said train twice a week in 3 hour long chunks, but also not the best, because i have more than a couple hours of things to do a week!!!! currently wistfully imagining "train hours" where i go and get on a random train going anywhere just so i can lock in. and then get out somewhere new, have a little explore, catch the train back and do more work. it would be so nice. my schedule would not allow it but the THOUGHT is there.. the yearning for TRAIN...

Bee I am so insanely curious what anyone could need 200 hyoi pears for so

👀👀

WELL... you know wild and his huge willingness to buy out beedle's whole entire stock of everything.... and i personally am ALWAYS down to viciously abuse a game mechanic for my greedy little crackfic purposes... [puts the boys in the blender and shakes it]

What is "out in the woods we rot"?

THIS IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION. out in the woods we rot is. well. it's nothing yet, but potentially it could be a story about decay.

the hero of time has spent his whole life running from the knowledge that a kokiri who leaves the heart of the forest will be stolen by the lost woods. it is the ultimate test of belonging—almost a relief when he eventually finds himself deluded and alone, stumbling around with an arrow wound to the eye, and knows that the woods are claiming him at last. the blood runs from his eye until there is no more blood to run. he rots slowly. malon puts up lamps in the windows and he watches from the fog.

he wants to go home, and he must make it there before the woods make him forget he has a home to return to. the stalkids dance. he catches a glimpse of saria under the trees and must choose—in the forest there is always a choice. the endless dark of the lost woods? chasing the kokiri, becoming the misunderstood monster he had always feared? the trees call; the deal seems sweet. or shall he turn from the belonging that he always wanted, in favour of a half-forgotten memory?

the skull kid is the only one he talks to. it is the first time the kid acknowledges what they've been through together; it is the first time they talk about it is and what it meant. the hero of time rots and he is glad of it—majora was wood that never softened and paint that never peeled. the skull kid knows more than he seems. or is it link who has forgotten what they both shared?

where does death begin? how does he enter it?

i guess ideally it'd be a fic about the intimate horror of dying, the eldritch, fathomless depth of the woods, and the shifting impermanence of memory. also, corpses. it's fun to write about your character turning into a stalfos-ish pile of canon-compliant bones.

truly nothing about house md prepares you for wilson. he's fucking insane. he's been divorced three times. he's the only person who can scheme just as well as house. he gives a patient his own liver bc he felt bad for him - a patient who didn't even know wilson's name. btw. he noticed a patient had depression bc he never mentioned his grandkids. he starred in a porno. he dosed house with antidepressants for several weeks. he allowed his boybestie and his gf to share custody of him and didn't even try to stop it. house told him to buy a piece of furniture that represented who he was, and he bought a $4000+ organ for house. he was gonna torpedo his career to talk abt euthanasia bc one of his patients suffered longer than he had to. he let house move into his 1 bed apartment bc his therapist thought it'd be a good idea. this man would do anything for anybody if they let him. he'd fucking quit his job to save a snail off the sidewalk. bro is not normal in the slightest

You know what?

I love you, fics that take months to update. I click on the newest chapter and have no memory of this place and get to go back some chapters and rediscover how much i love everything about this story.

I love you, fics that take years to update. I think of you fondly, and know your names, go search for you and see an update from this year and scream, diving in uncaring of any missed details (i will finish the update and read you in reverse because this is a treat you have bestowed)

I love you, fics that probably will never update again. Thank you for being a roman empire for my mind, thank you for teaching me about the ephemeral fandom experience, for inspiring a thousand million what if-s, for being a comfort read and a nostalgia read and a reread.

I love you fic writers, who jump into projects and stories with enthusiasm. I love you when you succeed in pumping out those chapters and that love doesn't go away when you stop.

I love you fic writers who post and then get in your own head and never feel confident enough to update, whether it's at all or whether it's just that one story.

I love you fic writers, who have a fandom or media hurt you to the point of abandoning or having a hard time with their WIPs.

I love you fic writers, who lose interest or have life changes or illness or bad memory. Thank you for being part of the fandom, a core part of the fandom. Thank you for the time spent in the fandom.

I love you, fic writers who try out something new and then stop. You're so valid.

I love you, WIP fics that may or may not ever get finished. Thank you for brightening my day in the way only you could have.

really whats interesting to me is that if u stay involved in a fandom long enough u get an evolution of scrolling from: ooh! - ooh! - ooh! - OH i didn't realise this was a trope - ooh! - OH - ooh! - ooh!!

to smth more like: read that - read that - oh LOOK it's my mutual - omg that one looks SO GOOD i love the trope subversion - wrote that - read that - oh my friends have been screaming about this one - wrote that - oh LOOK it's my mutual - read that - FRESH MEAT LETS GO SAY HELLO and its

SO beautiful and joyous. being a member of a community is fun!!!!! being so familiar with a tiny corner of the internet is fascinating!!!!! seeing the connections between yourself and other people is crazy cool!!!! we're all here on the web page together!!!! i see you and i love you!!!!!!

I keep remembering a run of Hamlet I saw a few years ago, where the Ghost was costumed in full plate armour which was very noisy, and instead of muffling it, they had him crash across the stage, stomping so the whole set rattled, and he said all of his lines in a bellow, like he was furious with Hamlet.

And the thing that made it absolutely terrifying was that Hamlet was the only one who reacted. He was cowering, and covering his ears with both hands, and yelling to be heard over the noise.

And no one else seemed to know why he was doing that. The other actors didn't even raise their voices.

That's scary, something so loud and painful, and REAL, and the people around you don't even notice it, and think that you're the crazy one.

[rebornofstars]

well. i tried very hard. but it mysteriously vanished the minute i got it in my hands :(
