have you played the newest loz game?? your fics for the series are my favourite ever

so here's the deal. i bought totk the day it released. i got it. i started playing it but then we went on our long awaited planned it for 3 years 1 week vacation and less then 48 hours after i'd returned from that BAM, i was in australia. and what was there to do now? we played taiko, dog, so much taiko, we lived together, 3 college kids in an apartment with a balcony with a view of the city skyline. it was the craziest thing i'd ever done. i loved and cried and fought and learned and grew and got so mf good at taiko and learned that there was still more to do and cooked and cut onions and ate obscene amounts of yogurt and then when it was over it was already august and we were standing at the airport sobbing into each other's shirts not wanting to let go but eventually we did we got on our planes home and then, only then, did i find the space in my heart and schedule and hands to play totk. three weeks later, i was in america

the real problem at the heart of this affair is that i still haven't found my motherfucking glider. where the fuck is it. i've combed the map north to south east to west i've found every goddamn character in the game but purah. purah you selfish selfish lady. where are you? where are you??????

and so it was that they would not finish totk not for another several months not for possibly years. which is not to say that i don't want to, i miss writing fanfiction, i missed the drama and the scope of our ambitions and the burning need to write write write but i was also madly depressed and anxious and not doing well and that's where the writing came from, yknow dog? it existed because there was nothing else i could do. it saved my life. and now i am no longer in need of saving, now i've saved myself, i've been searching for years and years for the place where i can have my friends and lovers and stories and also have this. i still haven't found it. but i'll let you know when i do

MITCHELL AKUTAGAWA EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!

[niteshade925]

I can see how the regional phenomena in totk is basically totk's version of a modern 4 horsemen of the apocalypse: pollution (the sludge), addiction (marbled rock roast), climate change (the extreme blizzard; admittedly this one is a bit of a stretch), and pestilence/infectious disease (the giant mosquito boss and the undead gibdo). Which, hey, references to real life issues, great, but what I didn't like so much was how you can just solve puzzles and fight bosses--basically have a handful of big name heroes running around doing tasks--and the water will magically clear up, the addicts will magically become normal people again, the extreme storms will magically dissipate, and the pestilence will magically disappear. Real life does not work that way. I know, I know, it's a game why you taking it so seriously blah blah, but I'm just saying, we have to remember that for any of these problems to be solved, it takes a lot of effort and cooperation from a lot of people to accomplish, and that's definitely an understatement.

LU crack theory: Everyone is secretly or unknowingly of at least high noble status. Hyrule is one of the princes of Calatia. Legend is Zelda's brother. Ravio mirrors this. Sky was already crowned king. Time is his Zelda's cousin. Malon is a descendant of the last Gerudo king. Wind's heirloom shield is a symbol of the noble house he comes from. Wild became Zelda's bodiguard partly because he was from a noble family. Similar for Wars. Russl got Twi from the castle. Dunno about Four.

Four's paternal grandfather may be a common blacksmith, but his maternal grandfather is Gregal the Great, a nobleman of the wind tribe who's family once resided in the Palace of Winds before monsters, then Vaati, overtook it

New Gonzo Plot Guess time: the reason Ganondorf got buried underground was because he was stuck playing a variation of Dumuzid having to spend 6 months in the Underworld in Inanna’s stead.

We know Zonai tech is powered by some kind of ghost juice, and the Sheikah tech may have had something similar going on, given that the Divine Beasts need pilots with powerful souls in order to function. But surely there weren’t enough dead people to power all the machines in the world, and it’s not like you can expect people to be dedicated pilots of, say, the local electricity grid 24/7/365, right?

So my guess is, in order to power all this wondrous technology, a particularly powerful soul had to be sacrificed. Not killed, necessarily, but converted into a dedicated battery in a facility somewhere underground that powered all tech on the surface and in the sky.

My other guess is, originally the ancient Zelda was chosen to be the sacrificial maiden, because her super special Goddess blood gave her latent magical powers. However, her dad was aghast at having to sacrifice his only child, and the people were heartbroken at the idea of having to sacrifice their precious, beautiful princess (not enough to abandon the system of luxury that required regular human sacrifice entirely, of course).

But then, a miracle happened. Another child was found who possessed just as powerful of a soul, if not even moreso. The type of magical gift that could keep the islands floating for a millennium without requiring another sacrifice. He was kidnapped by the powerful kingdom, raised to accept his place as the sacrifice who would stand in Her Grace’s stead, and then, when the time came, he was taken underground and harvested.

Maybe the process itself was agony no human could possibly bear. Maybe shortly before he was sent to be sacrificed, he finally made a friend, found some reason to live beyond serving the Holy Child destined to rule Hyrule, and began to have second thoughts about this whole “dying to save someone More Important, Precious, Beautiful, Pure, and Deserving of Protection Than Him” thing. Whatever happened before then wasn’t remembered. What mattered to those people who sent him down there was what came after.

Like Dumuzid and Persephone, he eventually returned. Unlike those two, of course, the “spring” he brought with him wasn’t the cherished promise of new life after a long, gloomy winter. It was the thawing and unearthing of Hyrule’s sins, the unearthing of his own agony they tried to hide to preserve their sunny stories of a utopian kingdom, the arrival of their karmic punishment, the sort of April that T.S. Elliot would call “the cruelest month.”

And, of course, the people who put him down there were so eager to preserve their good standing that they simply “forgot” to tell their children what had happened, why Hyrule fell from grace, their role in their own suffering. The children knew only of the Perfect, Precious Princess menaced by the Evil, Brutish, Purely Destructive Calamity who just randomly popped out of the ground to attack her for no reason other than being mean and bad.

Is it any wonder why, when confronted with Hyrule’s optimism that first time he emerged, when they were prepared like they knew he was coming, Ganon was so “incensed?” And is it any wonder that his ire would be laser-focused on whichever poor girl the Princess of Old dressed up in her pure white ceremonial gown and offered up in her own stead, this endless parade of descendants with her face who still profited from his eternal imprisonment despite having no idea who he was or what the mechanism keeping him trapping down there even did?

"That time I killed a god"

The three oldest Links decide to go down to the bar of the tavern they are staying at and have a drink.

It's the first time they have done this since they met.

"I don't really drink much." Sky says:" What should I order?" He isn't an expert on alcohol:" I am going to take a beer, it's pretty light." Time responds:" I will take a glass of rum."

So they sit down at the counter and order, Sky copies Time's beer.

They are having light conversations, telling fun stories. Just a nice time.

When Wars finishes his glass when Sky and Time are at the half of theirs:" Another glass please." Time looks at him:" Don't over do it." He reminds him:" Don't worry about it, Sprite. I have a good tolerance."

As they talk, the two haven't noticed that Sky has been silent for a while.

The alcohol is hitting Sky pretty hard. He isn't even realising, his mind is already wondering about other things. Thinking about Zelda, his home, his loftwing....

Then to his last battle with Demise.

Normally it would be a bad memory, the hardest battle of his life. But right now he remembers it as the most funny and absurd thing of his life.

He giggles and, without thinking, says:" Did I ever tell you about that time I killed a god?"

Time and Wars turn confused by their friend's words, thinking that the alcohol is already messing with them:" Eh?"

"I never told you about that? Alright then-" Sky starts to talk about his journey, but it's almost nonsense.

He is telling things out of order, giving names and places without context or much of an explanation.

Wars and Time let him talk, not really getting any answer to the million questions in their head.

Finally, Sky stops talking, slowly falling asleep on the counter.

The other two Heroes help him get upstairs to his room.

"Woah." Legend says surprise, Sky and him are sharing a room:" How much did he drink?!"

Wars takes off Sky's shoes and places him on the bed:" He barely finished one beer."

..................

The next day, in the early afternoon, Time and Wars decide to confront Sky.

"Sky can we talk?" Time calls him over.

Sky had a rough morning, but after eating lunch he is feeling better:" Sure." They go to a more isolated place.

"About last night..." Wars starts:" Oh yeah... Sorry about that!" Sky is quick to apologise:" I didn't think my tolerance was so bad. I am sorry that we had to stop longer." Since they all knew Sky wasn't going to wake up early that morning, they all decided to stay another day in the tavern.

"Don't worry about that. We needed more time to take information anyway." The Captain reassures him:" You said strange stuff last night. About killing a god..."

"Oh."

They retell everything that Sky told them.

In the end the only thing that they understood is that: Sky fought someone's toes with a groosenator? Jumped off sky islands and fought a god. All of this to save Zelda.

"Oh goddess..." Sky sighs, hating his drunk self.

"You don't have to tell us anything. We just want you to know." Time reassures him, but Sky shakes his head:" Look..."

"You know that I haven't fought Ganon, I fought a god called Demise and killed him at the end of my adventure. But it wasn't something I really wanted to share."

Wars interrupts him:" And we will act as if we heard nothing, alright? At the bar there were only us, the others don't know about it."

Sky is glad.

They decided to never talk about it again and, from now on, Sky is only drinking non alcoholic drinks.
