#I WAS ALSO THINKING ABOUT ONE PIECE

[petitelepus]

A free reign mtmte mermay bot x reader of your choice. I know you do fantastic work.

Minimus was a perfect servant, or that is how he wanted to think about himself. He would get up early, prepare himself, get ready, and rush to serve the royalty.

You were a shark princess, a member of the royal family and he was just one of your many little servants. What set him aside from others was his tremendous strength.

He could alone bring you your huge plate that consisted of wild fishes, caught by handy octopus Mers. That was his normal morning, bringing you your breakfast and taking care of your every want or need.

With due time, it became a rumor around the palace that you appeared to favor Minimus over other remora Mers.

Minimus would always say and correct that the rumors were false and that there was nothing between a servant like him and royalty like you.

One day, Minimus was preparing your after-bath dinner, but another servant came to him, looking fearful.

"M- Minimus...!" The Mer panted and the green little Mer looked at the other Mer in shock, "What, what is it?"

"It's the princess!"

"What about them? Are they alright?"

"She- She wants you!"

"Me?" Ah, he must have meant your dinner, "Ah, I see. I'll just get the fish prepared and-!"

"No!" The other servant shook their head, "She wants to see you now!"

"But isn't she-?" Minimus blinked as he realized why the other servant was so panicky. It was your bath time, a time when female remoras would help you bathe.

The male swallowed nervously and left his position to join you in the royal baths. Once there, Minimus noted that you were already done bathing and gone. You must have moved to your quarters.

So that is where Minimus headed.

There you were, relaxing. As soon as he made it, your head whipped around.

"Minimus." You turned to look at the Mer half your size and he bowed out of habit and because of his respect for you. "Milady."

He raised his head enough to look at you. yet he was still avoiding direct eye contact. "I heard you especially requested me?"

"I wouldn’t have called you if it wasn’t important." You stated and Minimus nodded as he bowed again, "Of course, milady."

A silence fell between you, only to be broken by your sighing. Minimus grew worried, "Milady, is everything alright?"

"No." You said as you sighed, "We had a meeting today."

Ah, the royal family meeting. You hated those, mainly because as the youngest member of your family, you had very little authority over the things that took place in the kingdom.

"Please, cheer up milady." The green Mer tried to cheer you up, but you sighed even louder.

"Let's be honest Minimus. I'm not the firstborn so I don't get anything but a fair title and place in the palace."

"That's not true, milady. You-!"

"Would be married off to someone to strengthen our kingdoms' union, but that honor is reserved for my older siblings."

Minimus frowned, knowing that what you said was true. You were the youngest out of 8, so it was highly unlikely that you would get much when the King would pass.

Like you said, you would have a title as a princess and you would have a home here in the palace where you would never have to work and you could live your life sweetly without worries your older siblings would have.

"Well...!" You finally smiled a little, "At least I get to do is to decide who I will marry."

"See, milady? Things aren't that bad in the end."

"Well, there is one problem." You groaned, "The Mer I have my eyes on is unaware of my feelings for him."

"Can I help you somehow?" He asked and you pouted as you turned to look at him.

"I like you Minimus." You blurted out without blinking an eye, "I like you enough to take you as my consort."

Minimus froze. He stared at you for a good moment before he felt his face starting to burn and turn red.

"M- Milady!" He stuttered in shock, "Please reconsider! I am nothing but a humble servant, a remora! I can't offer you the life you deserve!"

"You are my best and favorite servant. You know me better than anyone else." You pointed out, but then you became quiet as if you were deep in thought.

Minimus hoped that you were reconsidering, but then you looked at him again and grinned, "Is it a problem?"

"Huh?"

"Is me being a princess a problem for you?"

"No, milady, but-!"

"Then let's leave this place!" You suddenly shouted with a huge smile and Minimus blinked his red eyes, "Excuse me?!"

"Yeah! Let's go and form a new pod!" You smiled, showing off your razor sharp triangle-shaped teeth as you swam to the green Mer who was only half your size, and grasped his hands.

"Let's go on a journey and let me prove my love for you!" You were so excited and Minimus knew from experience that when you would get excited over something, you would get extremely stubborn also.

Finally, he sighed and nodded, "Very well, milady. I accept your proposal."

"Jay! We are going on an adventure!" You cheered happily and Minimus watched you swim around your suite in excitement. He doubted that you would actually leave the comfort of the castle...

Or so he thought, but there he was with you but the palace's doors, being sent off on a journey by your father, the king himself.

"Look after my daughter, Minimus. She can be a handful." The king nodded at him and the former servant and now your mate, nodded shakily, "Y- Yes, your highness."

"We will be alright Father!" You said happily and the huge shark king nodded as you grasped Minimus and bolted into the vast sea, hungry for adventures and eager to have your love with your new consort to bloom.

[narsh-poptarts]

my dark link thoughts coalesced into wonderful headcanons and crazy amounts of forced perspectives and dutch angles

also sorry HW i would have included your dark link(s) but i do not have passion for your game <3 maybe next time

Some thoughts below

I have thoughts about dark link that boil down to basically two things: 1. it's always the same dark link, and 2. dark link has a very difficult time changing.

No matter how many times dark link is brought into existence, he is formed from the shadow of link usually to test link's will. that shadow can be duplicated (as seen in HW) but generally speaking it's the same guy, sharing the thought space, you know how it is. In terms of sentience/thinking for himself, I don't think there's all that much of it. He is a dark reflection/shadow of link, so shares his abilities and thought patterns (for combat) with added aggression and. evil. i guess.

As said by navi, "conquer yourself", and all that. He's a challenge to the inner will power.

That being said!!! he can have a little bit of individuality, as a treat. Just in the form of being mean and sadistic <3 he's got thoughts, he's not just a combat doll (tho in times of low power, or a greater power having the reins, he reverts to that), so he can be frustrated, vindicated, happy, etc etc. though when your thoughts are mainly "evilevilevilevilevil" your idea of these emotions are a bit skewed.

When he's summoned for each different link, i hc that it's all the same magic, so the same dark link every time. he "remembers" in an abstract sense of his role in the same way a link or zelda "remembers" their own reincarnation. tho his is less of a reincarnation and more being used over and over again. a persistence.

The iteration that's summoned reflects the current link at the time, the part of link that needs testing/defeating, so it's not an existence that he himself can change to match the present. he's locked to that first copy/shadow only. So if he were to have a second encounter with an older link, he'd look like the first time they fought, unless he was specifically re-summoned. i hc he's got limited magic, so this is not something he can do himself.

in a links-meet scenario, his form would be limited to those specific forms of the links, and it would always be the points in time in which he first encountered them, unless there's other magic either he or someone else has access to to allow him to change forms to match.

now you might be saying at this point "wouldn't he be a weaker match if he was put up against an older link?" yeah probably lol. but also!!! i like the idea that with the limited magic he has, he's able to change juuuust enough to stay relatively evenly matched. being able to play to different strengths and all that. but the base stuff is still the same, so he is decently easy enough to read if link remembers the kind of stuff he was pulling back when he originally fought dark link.

dark link also knows about all this so while limited to the particular skillset, is able to adapt slightly.

but yeah been thinking a lot about a links-meet au where dark link is there choosing a different link to be every time he appears to the party.

though there are a couple links that he never impersonates in their games!!! so can't change into those guys unless he gets a new round of copycat magic.

Anyways goodbye guy standing there with standard camera angle, i have dutch angles and forced perspective

I don't think i posted this? lol

tbh after thinking about hancock a bit, i feel like she would become attached to anyone that treated her like how luffy treated her (as an equal and a friend, and not practically deifying her)
