#Saturday is so far away...

Phee, Tan, White and Perth could very much have founded their own Avenger Social Club.

It reminds me of that Kdrama from 2017 where 4 people with different backgrounds came together for revenge. They're an unlikely foursome who would never otherwise meet, but they join forces to carry out their individual revenges.

It may just be pure speculation, but the synopsis of the series works well into the DFF universe with the small clues we got from the past and present. I know it's not what will happen but it's funny to imagine it.

Here's an early recording of a game I've been making, The Dark Queen of Mortholme.

It's a story about the relationship between a hero and a final boss. You play as the boss.

Mary knew her son was beautiful.

She had known from the moment he was born. Too bright, too delicate, too much like the man she had run from.

But she hadn’t realized it would be a problem.

Not until the gas station.

Nathaniel is sixteen. Too young to be looked at like this, too old to be ignored.

Mary watches from the other side of the car as two men near the pumps look at him.

Really look.

Their eyes drag slow over him, from the sharp line of his jaw to the curve of his mouth to the way his shirt clings to his too-thin frame.

Nathaniel doesn’t notice.

That’s the part that makes Mary’s stomach turn.

He doesn’t even notice.

He moves too easily, too carelessly, too unaware of the way people react to him.

One of the men shifts closer, his grin lazy, knowing.

"Where you headed, sweetheart?"

Nathaniel doesn’t answer, just grabs a Gatorade from the fridge and lets the door swing shut behind him.

The other man chuckles. "You need a ride?"

Mary is at Nathaniel's side before she even realizes she’s moved.

She snatches the bottle from his hand, slams it onto the counter, and presses a hand flat against his spine.

"We’re leaving."

Nathaniel frowns. "I was—"

"Now."

She doesn’t look at the men as she drags him outside. Doesn’t check if they’re still watching, still smirking, still considering.

Because Mary understands men like that.

Understands what they want.

Understands that Nathaniel is a problem she never accounted for.

And as she shoves him into the car, slams the door, and speeds onto the highway, she realizes something else.

One day, Nathaniel is going to notice.

And she doesn’t know what will be worse. Him not understanding what people see when they look at him, or him learning exactly how to use it.

Sky’s still got it

Sky plays a certain soothing tune on his harp to help Bunny get some rest. It works a little too well.

Sky began to pluck the strings for one last song, his eyes slipping shut as he thought of his beloved back home, often troubled by nightmares after her journey, similar to the ones that plagued him. He would sit by their bed after a bad dream of hers, once he had comforted her and wiped her tears away with his thumb, and he would play her this song. Zelda would never fall asleep in the first play-through, rarely the second, but by the third, soft snores would always escape her despite her insistence that she wouldn’t be able to sleep again that night.

As Sky played the final note, letting it linger on the air sweetly, he opened his eyes, slow and calm. All around him, the Zora had fallen asleep, either leaning against each other or curled up on the floor. Four had drifted off against the railing, his relaxed features making him look much younger than he normally did. Time leaned back against the wall of the Domain, arms crossed and chin lowered to his chest, fast asleep.

And next to Sky, Bunny had slumped, his breathing deep and even as Sky had hoped it would be.

“Still got it,” Sky murmured to himself, pride glowing within his chest at having knocked out both their normally serious Smithy and the Old Man, and at having helped Bunny get some rest after such an eventful day.

“That ye do.” Sky jumped, raising a hand to his chest when he realised it was only Twilight, leaning against the railing of the stairs, staring down at him with a fanged smile. “Sorry, we didn’ mean tah scare ye.”

It was then Sky realised Wild stood across from Twilight, his slate out as he attempted to capture an image of Time, conked out against the wall. He snapped a couple before Twilight grabbed him by the back of the shirt and dragged him away.

“That’s enough. We need tuh wake ‘em up”—Twilight jerked a thumb back at the sleeping Zora—“and get this lot in bed. We’ve a busy day ahead of us tomorrow and the last thing I wan’ is to listen to the Old Man bitch about ‘is sore back.”

Sky couldn’t help but snort, raising a hand to his mouth to stifle the sound. Wild had no qualms with bursting into laughter, quickly achieving their task of waking the Zora with their sensitive hearing. Grumbles were sent his way, and they received a half-apologetic wave before they dispersed.

“Ah’ve got this one,” Twilight said, already crouching by Time. Rather than shaking him by the shoulder to wake him, Twilight carefully picked up Time, carrying him effortlessly in his arms like Time was a toddler who had fallen asleep at a family gathering. Sky couldn’t help but chuckle to himself at the thought, turning back to Bunny and Four.

“How strong are you feeling today, my dear Champion?”

“We both know these two will weigh about the same,” Wild shot back. “Your choice.”

Rolling his eyes, Sky pushed himself to his feet, dusting off the front of his pants, a force of habit from the many times he had been knocked down on his quest that he couldn’t quite shake. He passed his harp to Wild to be stored in his slate for the moment. “We both know while our Smithy is small, he’s all muscle. I’ll ask again, how strong are you feeling?”

“In that case, I’m taking Bunny.”

“Ye jus’ wanna cuddle ‘im.”

“Perhaps,” Wild said as he scooped Bunny up into his arms, cradling him close like Hyrule and Twilight always did. “Oh. Oh, I see why you two want to carry him all the time. He’s so soft.”

Twilight grinned a fanged grin. “That ‘e is. Be careful with ‘im, yeah?”

Where he might normally take the words as offensive, Wild merely nodded, as if the weight and warmth of a real, breathing creature on his shoulder gave something to Twilight’s words he never heard when he was handling an item. “I will,” he promised.

“In the case,” Sky said, not at all upset he missed out on carrying Bunny when it meant he got to ensure his close friend slept somewhere comfortable and warm. He gathered Four in his arms, grateful he had thought to consider Four’s strength rather than assuming their Smithy would weigh next to nothing with his height. “Shall we?” Sky asked, holding Four closer, smiling when Four leaned his head against Sky’s chest in his sleep, hands reaching out to grasp at the front of his shirt.

“Let’s.”

JIN AND SUN KWON: Me And My Husband - Mitski

[alien-ally]

after scraping down the internet i found little bits of dialogue and unseen snippets of scenes that are there in the long trailer and saw an eng sub for 2 of those 'trailers' and I'm going crazy. all nuts and bolts on the floor, scattered, rolling away into oblivion. the dialogues are so good guys i CANNOT wait to see how it goes down from now on. once yuan is back. after having lived with his feelings for Years and Years, that they no longer make him scared or ashamed or disgusted anymore. or as many suggest when he returns ready to snipe back, 'pettier' (and prettier- THAT'S THE FIRST thing he asked qian when he comes back, atleast from the long trailer-). when Qian is the one in agony, the kind Yuan was in before he left. after all the loneliness both of them went through. as full grown lived in adults (Qian alr was but his world was yet to shift, i.e he still doesn't know how to make sense of anything or ever cared to dwell on anything thinking he doesn't want anything for he has his family, his brother- but now he's going to WANT, perhaps for the first time ever. and i. Cannot. Wait.
