Haven't Mouthwashing posted in a while but, I love Anya fancanons and fanart because I HATE that we never get to see the true her in the game. Anya isn't and hasn't ever been a shy, quiet, timid woman. She went to medical school 8 goddamn times!!!!! She is not a quitter!!!!!!! She took a job as a NURSE on a fucking SPACE FREIGHTER after failing medical school 8 times because she was CONFUDENT in her own ability!!!!!!! Everyone in the crew absolutely ADORES her!!!!! She takes care of their mental health, their health in general, she's perceptive enough to prevent 4/5 people on the freighter from going insane!!!! She's charismatic and kind and confident!!!!

We see her how she is in the game because the player character is her damn rapist. And when we play as Curly, she's talking about him and being IGNORED!! (Curly when I catch you Curly)

The whole game she's staring at a guy who CRASHED THE SHIP trying to kill everyone who could implicate his crimes. And she doesn't know this, but she knows that he's dangerous enough that she hid the weapons from him. That she BEGGED Curly to hide the weapons from him because she was afraid for her LIFE. She spends the entire game getting talked down to, berated, and abused by this man. It's safe to say her actions are those of someone who's afraid or someone who's been broken down so much over months that she lost who she was, or a little bit of both.

I think the truest we see Anya is right before her death. In that moment, she's joyous. She talks highly of herself. She makes little jabs at Jimmy, knowing he won't be able to hurt her anymore. Because as much as he screams at her and pounds on the door, the medical room door is the only door with a lock on it. And if nobody else will defend her, that damn door will.

I thought this was about Barclay before I a) saw the tags and b) remembered that that was Cyrano.

So this has happened multiple times.

I’m just saying, modern Star Trek wouldn’t have any of its main characters spend the first two minutes of a cold open reciting Shakespeare line-for-line while wearing medieval garb. We’ve lost something along the way,

My house has Death Stairs under a trap door and every time a maintenance person is there to work on something I show them to the utility room down the Death Stairs and every time these professionals in home safety see me raise the trap door to the Death Stairs they go "hmm. Well that was a choice."

The absolute unbridled hatred I felt for Kai (Vedek) Winn when she first appeared on screen is stronger than my depression and I've spent all day trying not to throw things at work.

I drew more pages! AU in which Link was raised as Ganon's right hand man and is sent after Zelda & the Champions.

Link's armor is inspired by Gerudo voe set & TOTK Ganon outfit.

He wields the gloom sword but it drains him. (He's also not very good at being the bad guy lol)

Zelda keeps hearing about this dangerous gloom swordsman after her life, except he completely flubs the chance to kill her cus he was caught off guard😂

The Champions are very guarded around amnesiac Link. Revali HATES him so much (this bastard doesn't deserve to be the chosen hero after everything he's done) but eventually they kind of warm up to him... slowly...

Link without memories kind of latches onto Zelda like an imprinted chick. She's DYING to ask him why he spared her back then but woops he doesn't remember anything.

Which is the perfect timing for Link to regain his memories yay

(Cue Link pretending he doesn't remember anything yet just so he can stay a little longer with Zelda.)

This AU brainworm bit me so bad I am thinking of writing it!! I need a name for this au

Lord Jabu Jabu is so fleshy and full of goop and slime. I can smell it through the screen. Excellent game design. Makes me a little nauseous.

the aftermath would be Sisko thinking he was about to get fired and telling an admiral "respectfully, sir, she started it." Meanwhile Kira is having a crisis because she just beat the shit out of Jesus

With Kira and Sisko at each other's throats every episode I'm going to be sorely disappointed if they don't have at least one fistfight.

Okay. I generally geek out way less about Ocarina of Time than some other LoZ games, but I’m replaying it and getting overcome with the trauma and darkness of Link’s experience in this game. Like…he is a literal 10 year old who’s forced into saving the world, gets cryopreserved or whatever for 7 fucking years and awoken as an adult for “the greater good” and for no other reason than to create a ready-made Hero out of him for when the time is right so he can fulfill this fucked up destiny that he never asked for, as if his personhood is barely a thought under the role he’s required to fill. Like, 7 years of coma. He literally woke up with a child’s mind in an adult’s body in a Literal Nightmarescape, 7 years of his life stolen from him by the people who claim to be on his side, and now he has to save the world. My poor fucking baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woman at the crystal shop showed me how to ask the pendulum questions. I asked it if I should buy it.

It said no.

Damn I guess the rocks hate me.

AU in which Link was raised by Ganon & meets Zelda for the first time

I had fun designing emo chunibyo Link! Inspired by TOTK Ganondorf's clothes and gerudo voe outfit - Link here mainly fights with gloom sword (katana style) but it weakens him 💔

He can control gloom to a certain degree but he also... isn't immune to it so he's perpetually gloom damaged rip😂

I want him to lose his memories in a fight and get adopted by the champions, fall in love with Zelda, and defect!! Give me all the cliches!!

EDITED TO ADD:

Ganondorf is not very good in this AU!

He's a demon king in hiding, biding his time for conquest. He snatched up Link as a child & raised him to be a lonely henchman.

Ganon taught him everything Link knows (so he can be useful to Ganon) but Ganon definitely does not have Link's best interest in mind💔

I love Garak deep space nine. He’s gay. He’s traumatized. He’s just a simple tailor. One of the biggest reasons they keep him around is because he’s Willing and Able to kill.

I'm in so much pain somebody pls talk to me about how Kirk never once acts afraid of Spock after the pon farr incident. He trusts Spock so implicitly, so completely. Spock doesn't even trust himself that much, he's convinced he did kill Kirk! Do you think Kirk believes Spock would never actually kill him even in the throws of pon farr?

The first time I did the Ocarina of Time Water Temple I did it on the 3ds. But I also did it without the zora armor. Where does that put me on the water temple difficulty scale
