Okay but it's super interesting how
Din = Power = Ganondorf
Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda
Farore = Courage = Link.
Because Din, in the hylian creation myth, created the physical world. Naryu then created the laws - gravity, time, etc. And Farore finally created life - plants and people.
Din created the body, naryu the mind, Farore the soul.
And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.
Ganon is physical power, he is big and intimidating and he breaks things. He is cunning and determined, but that's not what he focuses on. He is might makes right.
Zelda is wisdom and cleverness. She is stall tactics and information and team work. She is a powerful mage with a spine of steel, but that's not how she'll win. She is the pen being mightier than the sword.
Link is courage and persistence. He is the wild card sneaking behind enemy ranks, always moving, plunging into terrifying situations head first. He's a phenomenal fighter with a keen wit, but that's not what will get him through his challenges. He is bravery not being the absence of fear but the triumph over it.
They sit in perfect parallels to each other.
And ganon is reborn through his body - his resurrection is immortality. No matter how low he is cast, as long as he has a body he can claw his way back. He can cling to his power, build it ever higher.
Zelda is reborn through the magic of her bloodline. It's the accumulated knowledge handed down for generations, the unique power she must master, the skills she must develop to survive and get her kingdom out the other side intact. Even her name, the knowledge of herself, is handed down from all the way from the very first. Her ancestors knowledge of her future presence, her stability, is what gives her the edge.
Link is reborn in spirit. He is not bound by flesh or blood. Just like his wanderlust soul he can reappear in any time or place. His variation, his unpredictability, is exactly how he fights. It's what makes him so hard to pin down.
Ganons need to build strength means he can't chase after link. Links impulsiveness means zelda can outwit him. Zeldas stationary predictability means she's an easy target for ganon.
But the other direction?
Fire melts ice, ice redirects lightning, lightning burns fire.
And that's the very essence of the triforce.
#It's little details spread across the games like this that just makes it work so WELL it's SO COOL#They're all great at all parts of the triforce but they CHOOSE to focus on the path most meaningful to them#And that's literally reflected in their unique cycles of reincarnation isn't that just AMAZING#And that's why the team up is so important! If they were all working against each other they'd be locked spinning their wheels#If zelda and ganon teamed up link would immediately die and if link and ganon teamed up zelda would instantly perish#It's the link zelda team up that means ganon is the one who kicks it#Also the elemental thing was cool but they do jump around a bit. Like wind is there half the time#In botk the gerudo have lightning and the goron have fire. Farosh still has lightning tho and dinraal fire#In ss lanaryu was the lightning and faron had water like its all over the place thematically. And that's when it's only 3!#Don't even get me started on the 5/7 lots notankyu#But that's the most common group and it's also thematically accurate#Fire being the only one able to self perpetuate with fuel. Can be banked up again. Ice compresses with time but needs the right environment#Lightning go boom 👍 you can feel the static in the air but you don't know when/where it'll strike and then it's all over#Like fr it's hilarious zelda and ganon are playing the long game and link runs past eats all the pieces and while ganons yelling after him#Zelda checkmates his king. And nobody can prove she wasn't cheating because nobody was looking lmao#Ah the duality of metaphors#ANYWAY isn't that so neat???#Reason no.372 why rhoam was a terrible king he didn't just screw up he did it ✨thematically✨#If link had been allowed to run off and get dirty and if zelda was allowed to study her interest (like post kingdom fall FOR EXAMPLE)#They'd have won (like aoc) but nooooooo. I've already made a post (or 3) about it lmao I'll be quiet now#loz#legend of zelda#botw#triforce#loz link#the legend of zelda#zelda#loz botw#ganondorf#loz ganon

Space AU enjoyers and amticipateds gather around... it's time.........
Something something, au where the Wembley production leaned harder in to the space aesthetics and they're actually trains in/from space, and also they're not restricted by the stage
(Everyone from the same planets tend to generally follow the same design rules)
((Not listed includes Momma & Rusty from Pluto, Slick from Mars, Hydra from Saturn, and Electra from Kepler 452b))

PIX. MORE BLINDRA THE NATION NEEDS IT
I will answer in the form of the silliest au I think of sometimes because it makes me kick my feet like a little girl and giggle.
I call it, the greenhouse au
Basically it’s a modern au that focuses on hydra, or rather blindra.
Hydra works in a greenhouse shop with Tass. Hydra works there because doi, environmentalist and Tass works there because it’s quiet and he dosent have to talk to people (this au also includes mute Tass because my friend infected me with the idea)
Now the shop has two main groups of visitors other than normal customers, those being Rusty and pearl and Electra and their components.
And both parties are trying to slowly romance hydra into their poly crew while not being able to stand eachother.
It’s very slice of life and I like it because it makes me laugh, yes I do have a cohesive storyline for this that you can ask about, thank you for asking.
Little extra details:
Tass and greaseball are siblings because yes
Momma is a university teacher and Rusty’s parent
The freights live by themselves in an apartment
Hydra pearl and Rusty are all about 18-19 with Electra and the components being about 2-3 years older
Tass has selective mutism and hydra and greaseball are really the only ones he’s capable of talking to regularly
Porter works at a repair shop with wrench
Lumber works as a artist who specializes in wood carvings
Slick does not have a job and stays at home most of the time doing shady stuff
Electra is a famous model who goes to the greenhouse when they don’t want to be gawked at. Killerwatt is their bodyguard
Joule and Volta work as Electras assistant and secretary respectively.
Belle works at a library on campus that Rusty and pearl visit often
Dinah runs a diner that greaseball spends most of her time at.
Greaseball is part of a top ranking hokey team along with the C-engines
This au makes me giggle so much, I love it

Sometimes your eyes remember their old habits and your vision flickers with ghosts of what's been lost.
#art tag#void; sona#in stars and time#isat oc#in stars and time oc#that moment when youve been living for so long you got to witness colors disappear and then your brain automatically tries to see the color#in that grayscale thats not everywhere like a filter you cant turn off#your memory isnt the best and youve already gotten used to the grayscale but sometimes it comes back to you like a lightning strike in a#quiet thunderstorm

What planets are the coaches from in the space AU??
I tried to for the most part keep everyone from the ssme planets with similar physical traits!








Tassita and Dinah I definitely played with a little bit!
While i lined everyone up w/ the planets they were built on/their bases came from, Tassita has some parts that were produced on Venus, and Dinah has a big mixture of parts from a bunch of different planets
But! Who I've lined them up next to is who's home planets they share!

I want Dolly Parton to be an Admiral in
Star Trek Janeway.
I don't care necessarily what happens, but I want Dolly Parton and Kathryn Janeway to be together.
They are both smol and I want short, fiery Admirals verbally destroying so many ppl....
Admiral Nychev(sp?) is also smol....
Oh shit!
Imma need
Janeway busting into a conference room with smol big hair blonde Admirals on either side of her.
They gon Saber Rattling Diplomacy so many mfkers.
Midwestern Tornado
Southern Fire
Russian Thunder
The Natural Disaster Special Forces of Admirals.
Yass. Yep. I'm in. Let's fuckin GOOOOOO!
Janeway comes in when other diplomats fail to get shit done.
She always travels with 2 other ships, each with their own Admiral.
They always give the other guy one last shot at whoever before
Janeway struts thru the door, and places her rifle on the table. Or if we wanna be massive lil shits about it, an ornamental saber, like Naval officers. And sits down. Dolly and Alynna flank her.
"I have for you a list of your options, here are our concessions (pulls up holo-display), these are their concessions. (Pointing out each list)
Now. I'm here to help you choose and get on with this agreement. Rather than this purgatory of petty whims. Does anyone have an issue with that?"
Pick a tall aggressive ppl...idk Klingon kinda feels old hat for this...Stands up and walks up on Dolly at Janeway's right side.
"And what are three small frail human females going to do if we do?"
Dolly smirks at him crooks a finger at him. He leans down to her level...
And that's all I got....
Someone better at writing write this lol
#or would Nychev be Tundra?#Blizzard?#originally it was Southern Lightning and Russian Thunder#Cuz they bust in after Janeway#Dolly got that quick fire wit#like a strike of lightning#Nychev is quiet coming in two steps behind the other two#and then boom got em#kathryn janeway#star trek voyager#kate mulgrew#star trek voy#st voyager#captain janeway

Thinking about the lead up to college where one of speedster's friends that's not on the team (so said friend doesn't know about their speed, just thinks they're a little odd lol) hears that speedster is going to school in Opal City while Rick is going to NYU and they mention how the distance will be rough. And speedster's just like "Yeah, sure. It's going to be awful 👀" as if 200ish miles isn't a laughable distance for them.
(I feel like Rick would go to school in New York since I assume Sandy's place becomes the future headquarters because comics. Also it's far away from Blue Valley which is nice)
#speedster finds grundy a nice quiet place out in the county so it's only a couple hour drive or a short run for him to see his buddy 🥺#speedster takes him food every day and hangs out for a bit even if rick isn't visiting that day#struck by lightning

why do so many 'relaxing sleep sounds' involve rain/thunder? like that is the exact noise that's giving me anxiety and making me unable to sleep
#i know the answer is 'many people find it comforting'#but i realllllly dont. whenever it rains im convinced the roof is going to cave in#and when there's thunder im convinced the house will be struck lightning OR a nearby tree will and the fire will burn the house down#OR the tree will fall on the house#so i need something to drown out the noise of the storm BUT not completely bc if i cant hear it at all#then those things will definitely happen and it will be bc i wasn't listening#so i need it to be loud enough to block out the small noises but quiet enough to hear anything big#the one i have on rn has too mamy crackle noises i dont like it#ks talks

haiiiiiiiiii hi haiiiiiiiiii mrrp mew meoww mrrp nya mreow :3c
In response, (Bottom) hiiiii~~~ haiiii~ mreow mrrrp mrrp mew mrrrrrrm hiii :333
(English) Good evening indeed, I myself am faring quite well as of the moment, most recently having poured myself a glass of exquisite brandy, thank you for asking. Now, I simply must inquire how you yourself are doing my dear anonymous fellow.
#196#r196#who doesn't love writing text like they're an early 1800's aristocrat living atop a hill overlooking the sea and the nearby hamlet#while the thunderstorm that has been brewing above your home brings down a dark gloom over the entire territory#with flashes of lightning radiating and echoing throughout the quiet and dimly lit manor#as you sit atop a very expensive armchair near a warm fireplace#from the history of the ancients to the realms of unexplored or forgotten lands#bottomposting
