A Little Bit Stupid

Word count: 3k

Tags: Link & Zelda, queerplatonic relationships, fluff

Here is a list of things that make Link squirm: compliments on his cooking; being indoors too long; being asked to eat a live bug (for science); being asked to dance (not for science); children trying to show him their loose teeth; the texture of velvet; and those fuzzy brown-and-black caterpillars. It’s not a long list, and Zelda supposes it would be strange if it were. One doesn’t reach Link’s position by being squeamish. The list, which lives in the back of one of Zelda’s carefully curated journals, is more for novelty than anything. Mostly she enjoys writing things down as she learns them—especially things about Link. Despite everything, despite their constant contact and the hours of conversations in the year since their triumph over the Calamity, she still finds him fascinating. She hopes she always will. The list is not, however, exhaustive. Some things are too inconsequential to bother adding (his dislike of wearing green). Some are too self-evident, too personal, to write in her silly, for-fun list (his patchy, confusing memories and feelings about Mipha). Others have not yet been discovered.

here is around 3000 fluffy words of zelda and link being Queerplatonic Life Partners, and link trying (badly) to keep an embarrassing secret :)

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

love fics where Danny ends up in the DC universe & every alarm goes off at once & the magic users are like "yeah that's the most powerful being in the universe & also possibly super evil we are FUCKED fucked" & the Justice League is freaking tf out trying to find this thing that casually tore a hole in reality & it just cuts to Danny (Fenton) standing in the background blissfully unaware & like "man my life sucks but at least i have this candy bar—" *drops it in a puddle*

the dynamic of demigods thinking which other demigod is the most powerful is always amusing to me because. like, we know the big 3 kids are all the most powerful. That's just a fact of their universe. And then we know nearly every character views Percy as the strongest demigod, and most people are very rightfully intimidated by him.

and you look at the powers of the Big 3 kids and there's Percy, but then you realize Nico is just kind of objectively more powerful than him but simply chooses to hang out in Percy's shadow like he's Percy's scary dog privileges. Like, the two of them are pretty equally capable of causing multiple different apocalypses. Nico just also has like four different instakill powers and it's not like he doesn't use them. He very much uses them! Not infrequently, even! And they don't seem to take a significant amount of energy from him! And other demigods are pretty intimidated by both of them! But Nico makes a conscious point to keep his cards close to his chest and not let on exactly how dangerous and scary he can be if he wants to. People are already scared enough of him without knowing anything about him and he doesn't like that. Percy doesn't think about that nearly as much, and so usually just goes in guns blazing and that's part of why he's considered a wildcard. And then Nico himself puts Percy on a pedestal, so those who do know more about Nico's abilities then presume Nico knows something they don't about Percy that implies Percy is even stronger than him.

And even on a meta level Nico's narrative role requires him to be functionally more powerful than Percy, because he very often serves the purpose of getting Percy out of situations he can't handle on his own. That's just part of his function as a character! But also narratively he can't overshadow Percy so he just takes a backseat of his own accord and that's very amusing to me.

really good bad image concept that entered my mind

Alright lacemaking sonic the hedgehog fans let’s make some noise

[beaulesbian]

"hello, this is luffy speaking" compilation

because i adore how he has this way of answering any ringing snail call, and with each new situation it feels it's escalating in importance of who is on the other side of the call! it's hilarious!

ch. 549, to navy, post impel down on way to marineford

ch. 651, to big mom, post fishman island

(look at that zoro grinning in the background at a typical luffy shenanigan, love that)

ch. 655, getting SOS from punk hazard, from later on we know it was kinemon

ch. 700, to doflamingo lmaoo

ch. 751, with robin, still in dressrosa getting in contact with his crew, it's just funny how that's always his opening line

ch. 1090, with the fricking gorosei while on egghead (aksjsdj this one rlly made me laugh)

+bonus, different tactics of other strawhats picking up the snail calls:

zoro and his demands, ch. 614, fishman island (even nami joining in when she hears about money, lol, and poor usopp, trying to always stop them from talking)

and ofc sanji and his 'restaurant le crap' in the little garden arc, on call with crocodile, ch 126
