eggy’s slasher summer horror special (1.5k followers event)
yn and her friends thought they would get a break from the stresses of university life by renting out a cabin in the woods for a weekend. they didn’t know what awaited them there in the trees and how it will unravel them
divider credit to strangergraphics
WHAT IS IT: a voting based slasher smau where you, the reader, decides who gets to live and who’s not so lucky, and who, ultimately, is responsible for their downfall
HOW IT WORKS: you, the reader, can vote who’s next on the chopping block by sending me an ask after each new chapter is published. you decide who is next to meet their maker, and eventually, who is sending them there. i will not publish these asks
WHEN IS IT: this will be a week long event starting 7/8. i will post one chapter a day during that week until it is finished.
WHO’S GOING TO THE CABIN: you are dear reader! make sure you vote in this poll to see which friends are going with you!
RULES AND WARNINGS: votes must be submitted in a timely matter to be counted. i will only accept votes via ask to keep them a secret and a surprise. MDNI. this is going to be a HORROR based smau. it will be camp and silly (think friday the 13th meets bottoms meets bodies bodies bodies meets cabin in the woods). this is an UNREALISTIC dark comedy. this is not going to be graphic by any means and is not intended to be scary but i am still going to be KILLING PEOPLE OFF. this is an homage to summer slashers !

You ever see someone else's headcanon and go "Well no that can't be right, because in Chapter 93 Page 6 Line 4 canon clearly establishes that--" and remind yourself that knowing that minor detail actually makes you the insane one, so you should just let people do whatever.

uh oh guys, hot take alert:
i think revali may have invented hand held aerial archery HEAR ME OUT- (this is a long one boys)
okay. evidence one: why the fuck would a rito shoot like that. like, it makes nearly zero sense, it would be such a hindrance to their flight and their main stake is that they can be higher than you can shoot whilst still pinging you... which revali has overcome with his gale
evidence two: tulin and the concept arts. obviously rito style archery would be held in their talons. before totk came out idk if anyone had really thought about it too much, but the developers had, as you can see in concept art (from the creating a champion book). and like, its logical, powerful, and allows for peak maneuverability. also, when in flight revali (and teba) holds his bow in his talons before switching to his wings. surely its easier to keep it in your wing (obvi ignoring the effects to flight but hes doing that anyway firing the damn thing) rather than switch back and forth- unless you were taught that way, because why would you hold it elsewhere, you need it in your talons to shoot.
evidence three: we dont see any other rito do it (...kind of). throughout botw and totk, we never see another rito flying with a bow in their hands. in totk, its mostly tulin, who holds it in his talons, but in botw the big one is teba. during the medoh quest, he actually gives *link* his bow, and therefore does no shooting in the sky. teba and harth had both tried to take on medoh before, but we never see this, and while they holds their bows in their hands *on the ground,* we dont see it.
...except for aoc (uh, spoilers?). there are two times we see a rito other than revali hold their bow in their hand for aerial archery. but it is not with any rito soldiers, either during cutscenes (the bows are only on their backs) or gameplay (they swoop down, and then hand hold bows on ground. they arent seen flying at all but thats prolly for the same reasons as botw: its very hard to code that (and so they write the lore around that fact)). the first time we actually see another rito do this, we dont see it. Its teba, as he comes thru the portal, but all we see is the arrow shot, and then him freeze frame with the bow in one wing. we dont see the bow in his hand for the rest of the fight. the second time we actually see him fighting like this, it *is* in the air, but its noticeably different to revali.
hes a lot slower, it clearly takes a LOT more effort to shoot the bow, and he only pulls off one arrow at a time. its canon that revalis bow is heavier/harder to draw, and he manages to effortlessly stream arrows whilst fucking floating midair. i think teba, forever a revali fanboy, heard of how the champion mastered his own style of archery and sought to teach himself, but lacked one key thing: revalis mastery of wind.
evidence three point five: revali could easily use his powers to hold him in the air longer/slow his descent long enough for him to fire his shots. it makes sense, really. if he can use his gale to propel him, he can sit on the updraft for a hot sec, or even curve the path to carry him along while he lines up the shot. this would mean he wouldnt need to flap as much as other rito, who would obviously need to keep flying
evidence four: revalis fighting style and his needs. revali works with non rito, obviously. he needs to be able to communicate with them on the battlefield, and they wont understand the muffled chirps if he holds his string in his beak, so he needs his mouth free to speak hylian. also, revalis main tactic is fly up with gale, shoot, fall, either shoot more or use velocity and weight to knock around opponents, and then fly back up. he often needs both feet planted firmly on the ground to get a good hold of his gale, something that is harder to do if you have a bow in the way.
also, take for example the kick he delivers link in their fight (aoc). that would possibly damage the bow, or give the opponent a chance to grab his weapon, if he held it in his talons. and to switch from feet to back is a risky maneuver during freefall, and could lose precious seconds, and then when you get back in the air you need to get it off your back again. its much easier to keep the bow loosely in your wing the whole time, meaning your free to attack melee, land and rise all while not wasting a single moment getting your next shot lined up.
so yeah, i think the rito used the talon grip for aerial archery, and would often use the hand held method on the ground for a variety of reasons (more powerful shots?, easier in some situations like hunting), but revali was perhaps the first to use hand held aerial, another reason he was one of the greatest archers ever.

"If Tommy was a woman their shippers would hate on and drag her too" is not the gotcha moment some people (and you know who you are) think it is.
It sounds like its supposed to read "misogyny in fandom spaces is a big issue and those women did not deserve that treatment" (which is a very good point that yes, should be talked about a lot more).
But they don't mean it like that, what they're really saying is "we need to hate on Tommy more so he gets the same treatment as those past girlfriends." Which I don't need to tell you is a horrible, disgusting hill to die on here.
I dont think I've ever encountered a fandom that insists on hating a love interest so hard that they completely miss real, totally valid conversation points in favour of just shitting on totally innocent characters like this.
You do not care about fandom misogyny, you just want an excuse to piss on someone who hasn't actually done anything wrong.

they held HANDS, they held each other's HANDS as they ran out of that mine, they ran out together as one, and how long after they escaped do you think it took them to unlock their grasps? do you think they stood there, or sat there, at the mouth of the cave that could have killed them, hand in filthy trembling hand, catching their breath and keeping each other in a death grip while they recovered from their reminder of mortality, and only after several minutes reluctantly letting go?
or do you think it was quicker than that? do you think as soon as they crossed the threshold, as soon as they were once again under the sky and breathing that (mostly) fresh air they immediately rescinded the intimate touch, too afraid to let it linger, embarrassed at the brief flash of walls coming down when faced with an early grave, that fear being the only thing on this earth that could bring those walls down, if even only for a minute, only while it was just them, just the two of them, as it probably often felt like no matter where they were
do you think they thought they'd run out of Harlan in the same manner? hands clasped? maybe not physically, but much in the same spirit- escaping, together, only each other as they blindly dashed out of the hollers to get that life-giving taste of fresh air?
i guess if you think about it, they did. they just let go a little too fast

Okay, I don't know how many people here listens to Epic The Musical about Odysseus. (Fantastic songs, can't stop listening to them myself.)
But I'm kind of flabbergasted by the TikTok videos I keep seeing where people are more pissed about Eurylochus opening the bag than Odysseus sacrificing six men???
One was admittedly a really stupid move and Eurylochus should be held accountable even if it was an accident but Odysseus literally picked six people to die without them even knowing. Like, if we're gonna compare situations then Eurylochus' mistake is better matched with Odysseus telling the Cyclops his name (another stupid mistake). Why are people comparing a dumb mistake with literal murder??? And why are people saying Odysseus is the better choice in it?!?!
Like, am I the crazy on here???
