hello it is time for a VERY niche post. join me for... SHL characters as SNAKES!!!!! i tried to find snakes that naturally occur in china or near china, as a terrible added parameter—there's a TON of snakes in china, but i just don't know many so it's terrible bc it added a lot of work for me lol. but i've learned things! and found some cool snakes! so! let's go. pictures of snakes ahead, if that's not your thing, feel free to peace out.

Wen Kexing - Sinomicrurus macclellandi a coral snake! just a nice boy you know? just a nice, extremely venemous boy with dramatic red coloration. shamless plug for my fic where wkx turns into This Snake.

Zhou Zishu - Bungarus multicinctus look at this lovely unassuming snake. got some goth-y drama but overall not too bad, right? one of the most venomous land snakes in the world 😌 (also. he and wkx match but like in a complimentary way.)

Zhang Chengling - Pareas margaritophorus the first thing wikipedia says about this snake is that it is small and harmless. for the first time so far, i am not trying to mislead you. just a little snek boi!!!!!! cute!!!!!! I Want To Hold And Protect Him

Gu Xiang - Fowlea piscator look i'm gonna be honest. there are not a lot of snakes that are even REMOTELY purple but this one has a little purple whip tongue! also, not venemous but (if it's anything like water snakes in the US) kind of an asshole. apparently pretends to be a cobra. look at her go.

Cao Weining - Coelognathus radiatus this snake has no thoughts in its head. look at it. i don't mean as a species i mean This One. That's cwn. just sitting there doing a blep. no venom, apparently a defensive sort of dude. cool colors tho!

Luo Fumeng - Calliophis bivirgatus a different kind of coral snake! i've gone a bit further outside of china for this one but LOOK at how gorgeous it is. how could i not let lfm be this glamorous. also i like the idea that she's a different genus of snake than wkx but still a (venemous) coral snake.

Liu Qianqiao - Elaphe taeniura gonna be honest here, the common name of this snake in english is the beauty snake (or ratsnake), so i didn't think too much farther. there's a ton of different color morphs of it. look at it, the elegance! she's beauty she's grace she'll constrict you (if you are a small mammal)!

Xie Wang - Bungarus fasciatus this is a different krait! zzs has MANY bands, xw just has bands. a little brighter colored and more extra than zzs, sliiiightly less deadly, still can very definitely kill you. LOOK at that warning coloration. if i was to pick two characters to DEFINITELY have warning coloration, it WOULD be wkx and xw.

Du Pusa - Euprepiophis mandarinus this is NOT my best work, but i just thought this snake was really pretty and so i was determined to include it somehow. hence: dps. they are ~secretive~ apparently. also. again. Look At It

Ye Baiyi - Python bivittatus BIG BOY!!!! ALMOST THE BIGGEST BOY!!!!! does occur in white color morphs in captivity (and like, i guess presumably in the wild? at one point? but i have to imagine that's like. not so much a thing anymore.) also, did i pick the picture that looks the most like a cryptid? of course i did, it's yby. he doesn't want his picture taken. he doesn't want you to know he exists even. leave him alone. where he belongs in his natural habitat.

Han Ying - Lycodon septentrionalis a shiny pretty boy. a shiny pretty boy who looks very much like a many-banded krait, in fact. however, they're not venemous. hy just looks like zzs. again: LOOK AT THIS GOOD SNEK.

Jing Beiyuan - Ahaetulla prasina several things here. one, this is an elegant but strange boy (i don't think this shows just how weird this guy's nose looks. it's like someone took a snake's nose and used pliers to stretch it out all pointy). two, FASHION!!! look at those pattens!!!!! a striking example. and three, it looks kind of like wu xi's snakeclet

Wu Xi - Naja atra he's a cobra. i think this speaks for itself.

ALL of the emojis for Siv :D

What is the kindest thing your OC has ever done for someone? What is the kindest thing someone has ever done for them? On the flip side, what is the worst thing your OC has done to another person?

I don’t think I can point out a *single* ultimate kind act, but Siv raising and caring for his brother throughout their whole childhood is definitely one of the kindest periods of his life. Spoilers, but: Siv didn’t actually believe himself to be capable of being a knight, in fact Ligero was specifically trying to keep him out of Larc’s life, letting them grow to be more independent, giving Siv every reason to be jealous and spiteful. But Siv trained to be a knight anyways because he didn’t want his brother to be alone through it all. He would never admit it, but Siv is a really kind and soft person. He cared for everyone of LinkLink’s scars and scabs when they went shield surfing, he took Zavis to a surprise party when his mother didn’t bother to throw anything that special. He wrote Revali letters, he sewed little rat plushies for Aryll to add to her collection—and I think it all stems from his childhood, where the only thing that he was certain of, the only choice that he could without a doubt claim was a good and kind thing that he didn’t mess up on, was caring and loving for someone that he by all other means didn’t have to.

As for the kindest thing someone has done for him, well honestly I think Siv would consider anyone giving him a basic amount of respect and appreciation as the “kindest” thing. Although once, Zavis allowed himself to team up with Link to plan a perfect party for Siv, which is to say, a very notable feat.

As for the worst thing Siv has done to someone: that’s probably spoilers. :3

What does your OC do when they see others upset or in pain? An upset friend? A stranger?

If a stranger was upset, Siv would probably just think, “Sucks to suck!” and move on. Unless they were like, REALLY sobbing, to the point where it would be impossible to ignore. Then he might stop walking, chat them up and buy them a drink, maybe hear their woes, but that’s probably it.

If it was a friend, he’d be immediately on their case, but would still try to play it off as him being an apathetic, disgruntled guy. But you know, Siv didn’t become an official royal Branch Buddy for nothing.

What is something true about your OC that they refuse to admit about themselves? Is there any reason to this besides embarrassment?

Under absolutely no circumstances will Siv admit that he is shorter than anyone. He finds it completely unfair that BOTH of his brothers are taller than him. He would hate it if you told him so, but Siv without a doubt has inherited a bit of his father’s ego, so calling him short, or even complimenting his hot royal guard brother when Siv is right there would ruffle his feathers to say the least

Describe a regular day for your OC. What is their schedule (if they have one).

Pre-Orator days, Siv basically wakes up whenever he wants (usually past noon), feeds the pet rats in the alleyways, then heads to the underground. Everyday is scraping enough rupees for a hot meal and a drink by selling illegal tickets to the underground monster fights, maybe organize a rigged gambling ring or two, and obviously scam any ten year olds that were looking to enter the world of pocket monster fighting themselves. Then when the “work” day is done, he’ll pop by an adequate tavern (the only one that would tolerate letting someone like him around) and eat and drink, and...that’s pretty much it.

As the Royal Orator, Siv wakes up and immediately heads to the dining hall, then hauls all the food and drink over to his office by 10am, cause that’s when his official work hours kick in. He then has to just sit there, listen to people’s grievances and input that will promptly be ignored (by either his hand, or most certainly by his superiors) while also posting out the important announcements and rat doodles with the Quill of Roost(both pre and post consumption). He might grab lunch in between and do fuck all, but by 9pm he’s gone out and about, doing whatever it takes to get as little sleep as possible because he doesn’t really like the sort of dreams he’s been having.

Current Siv doesn’t have a schedule, but he does have an agenda.

How does your OC think they will die? Does death scare them? Is there any reason for this?

Siv isn’t thinking about death. In truth, he thought he would have died much, MUCH earlier. Maybe get stabbed or executed? Maybe have a poor run in with an ex or particularly angry victim of his scams? But hey, now that’s he’s living the high life with all this power, he doesn’t care about death! For all he knows, he could live forever as long as he sticks with Ganon! All he has to do is follow what he says, and he’ll be happy forever and never have to fear anything ever again.

What is your OC’s most traumatic experience? (If they don’t have just one traumatic experience either pick one or describe them all!)

The Asunder Incident.

Siv constantly questions himself after that, “Why would I do that? Was I really capable of killing someone? Surely not, I’m not...I’m not that bad...” but the facts obviously stated otherwise. This was basically the incident that cemented himself as the person he is at the start of hku, apathetic and broken. He wouldn’t admit it then, but this singular event basically solidified everyone’s prejudice and perception of him, and rightfully proved them correct. It was his own actions that left him hated, abandoned, and alone, so yeah, he can’t complain now, it’s all his fault.

How would your OC react to the death of a friend/family member/loved one? Is there anyone they can confide in?

If Ligero died he would throw a fucking party for the ages.

Other than that, yeah, if someone he knew and cared about died he would be very heart broken about it. I think the only person he would really confide in about it would be Larc, but if it WAS Larc that died...I can only assume he would at the very least be severely depressed. He’s his favourite, cherished, little brat brother, after all.

What would your OC be like if they were evil. Or if they’re already evil what would they be like as the good guy?

This is an interesting question given that...I’ve already shown both sides to this, haven’t I? Maybe I’ll just let the story speak for itself...

How would your OC react to somebody telling them that they love them? (+ bonus give another characters/OC name!)

Siv would first play it off as a joke because defense mechanism! “Haha, yeah, and you know what I love? The bathroom!” and he would be off escape the situation. But if they were persistent, he would be very flustered and very...vulnerable, and scarily sentimental in his opinion. It would take some time, but I believe eventually he would really, truly accept it, in the end. Although patience is certainly a virtue, it took an entire childhood for him to use the L word for his brother.

What does your OC hate about themself? What lies about themself do they believe? On the flip side, What does your OC love about themself?

He hates being a bad person. He does not believe himself to be good or worthy of anything, thus he internalizes it wholeheartedly in order to gain that sense of control. So now that Siv’s accepted he will never be truly happy, he’s like, “Great! I can just not care about anyone else now.”

Thankfully, that’s changed recently, and he now believes, “You know what? I’m NOT a bad person! It’s everyone else that’s been wronging me! The problem with me is that I’ve been way to much of a coward to take what I deserve, so now I’m gonna do it, no matter what! I deserve to not be hurt anymore, and if I can’t do whatever it takes to achieve that, then how can I say I deserve to be happy in the first place?” Be sure to thank Calamity Ganon for that pep talk.

Right now Siv loves his power. He’s had the most control and power in this one relationship with Ganon than he’s ever had with anyone else in his entire life. He’s finally on top! Number one! He has something to really be proud of about himself! The old Siv hated themselves, but now that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Does your OC have any scars? How and when did they get them?

He doesn’t have any notable scars, especially given that he’s got the power o’ malice, baby! Malice is a representation of many things, one of them being time and memory, so it’s pretty easy for it to heal and return skin, flesh, and bone to a prior state. Perfect for healing and repairing people and objects, alike! Of course, malice is more famous for doing the opposite, sucking your soul out from you prematurely, feeling yourself die rapidly, your last breath being snatched and forced out of your lungs, a thousand breaths meant for a lifetime suddenly sapped out in a few minutes. But I don’t know why I’m talking about that, that’s not relevant haha

What is something your OC blames themself for and is it really their fault? Does it keep them up at night and is there any lingering trauma?

The Asunder Incident, he blames his actions for leading him to basically abandon his brother for like fifteen years. But that’s all I’m gonna say as I have plans to talk about his feelings on it further in the actual story.

In what situation would your OC be pushed to commit an act of violence? Would they go as far to kill someone if they had to? How would this affect them and their relationships with others?

Why, I can’t answer this in detail! That’d be giving away the story :3

Ok, maybe I’ll say this: Siv tells himself that he would do anything to get what he wants, of course he would do anything, because if he can’t, well then that just means he’s a pathetic coward who doesn’t deserve happiness anyways. So of course he claims that he will do anything, even killing someone.

What would your OC do if they were given god-like powers or the ability to change anything about the world for a whole day?

Siv would eliminate all shitty parents, maybe also give revive some dead people, and also permanently have a giant neon green tattoo of a dick be on Ligero’s forehead. Assivus would do the first thing, but he might also make everyone who has ever wronged him suffer for a very long time on top of that.

Describe one of your OC’s worst nightmares.

- Oh no, made a ficlet.

The first night he was in the castle, he had a dream.

There was a man, sitting across from him, dressed in glittering gold, with a green sash wrapped across his chest and waist. He was tapping his long nails against a desk, HIS desk, the white and purple quill still in the cup of ink, and blank parchment in front of him.

The man looked very out of place, and that was ignoring the fact that he was a withering corpse.

You’re dashing, aren’t you? The man said, still tapping his fingers. That’s when Siv realized that he was just sitting opposite to him, in the seat where guests were supposed to be. He tried to speak, but couldn’t. He tried to move, but couldn’t. He tried to blink, but didn’t.

He sat there and listened to the man, attentively.

Do you know what you’re doing here, Asunder? the man asked. Asivus didn’t. Do you know why I’ve allowed you here? What you are?

Siv didn’t know, but he couldn’t exactly express as such.

That’s because you don’t need to know. At least for now. The man leaned forward like mist, disappearing as Siv felt something pass through him, he couldn’t turn to look behind him as a delicate hand was on his shoulder. You’ll know things when I want you to know. You’ll say things when I want them to be said. And you will do things when I want them to be done. Because I own you. Err...

The man suddenly stopped to think, leaning on the right arm of Siv’s chair, tapping his bony chin, as if he had made a casual slip of the tongue. Because...you owe me. Yes, that’s the word. I’ve helped you so much Assivus Asunder. Or “will?” “Have?” “Am currently?” Futures and times are a funny thing. I apologize, I’ll have my words sorted out into something more professional and proper in our future.

The man spun around, and suddenly, he was no longer a corpse, but a dashing Gerudo man, dressed brilliantly and handsomely. His eyes were no longer a hollow gold, but green, somehow familiar.

The room was no longer some dinky orator office, but the sanctum of the castle, the apex of the kingdom. The man snapped his head towards him.

Let me ask you something, Assivus Asunder: Would you rather be here?

He gestured to the grand view of the sanctum, the sunset casting striking shades of red, black, and gold across the towering walls.

Or here?

The world spun once again, and they were suddenly on a dark street. The houses of Rauru diced the stone brick pavement. Siv glanced around and saw himself, sitting on the ground. There were two knights, one of them cursing loudly, and the other laying down beside him. There was so much blood and he could feel himself floating closer and—

No. NO. Wait. STOP. PLEASE! He tried to speak, scream, anything. No sound came. He saw a sword, a dark and rich puddle that seemed to even reflect his own face and—

They were suddenly back in the office.

Which is better? What do you prefer, of the two? I’m assuming the former? The man looked at him. I will allow you to nod yes or no to the former.

Siv immediately nodded a yes.

Trick question!The man boomed. Both are fantastic places, environments that you should love and cherish. There is so much good hiding in the places you would least expect, Assivus. I’ll help you remember that.

The world was suddenly nothing. Nothing but black. Just him, in a chair, staring at this smiling, pleasant, scary, red haired man. 

Don’t you want help, Assivus? I think there’s something you want, that you need help attaining? Isn’t there something? There’s no shame in admitting.

Siv thought for a moment, then slowly nodded a yes.

Do you want MY help?

Uhh...Siv wasn’t sure what to make of that.

Perhaps you can do a favor for me?

Fuck no! was Siv’s immediate thought. Who the fuck—First off, I don’t think I really like you, actually, so— 

Oh that’s alright! The man was suddenly very close to his face. Oh shit, could he hear my thoughts? Assivus, you can do whatever you want to do to be happy. I don’t want to force anything from you. He patted his cheek with a very cold hand.

In fact, I’ve now decided you don’t have to do anything for me. I am going to help you, and you don’t need to do anything in return. The man stood back, clasping his hands together. How does that sound?

I... He tried to speak, but remembered he couldn’t even move his lips.

I’m sorry again, Asunder. Here, I’ll allow you to speak now. The man didn’t even wave a hand, but Siv could suddenly feel how hoarse and dry his throat was.

So how about it, Assivus Asunder? I want you to be in charge of your destiny, I want you to be in total control. I would never force anything from you, I will simply be here, by your side, helping here and there, as you...figure it all out. How is that? Does that sound alright?

Siv opened his mouth, but couldn’t decide the words. If I say yes can I go back to sleep? Hella tired...

The man didn’t move, but Siv someone sensed a whisper beckoning somewhere with a “Yes. We’re all tired of many things, aren’t we?”

“O-Ok...” Siv finally said. “Alright, sure. I don’t see why n—”

Before the words were fully out of his mouth, the world suddenly stopped dead, as quick as a snap. He awoke from his bed with a jolt, his heart racing like he had just run a marathon, even though he didn’t find those last moments to be that thrilling or terrifying.

Siv sat for a moment longer, trying to contemplate the dream. But as most dreams are, the memory of it fell out of his grasp like loose sand between his fingers, and soon enough, it was already gone.

He flopped back into bed with a sigh.

Whatever it was, it was probably nothing.

What advice would your OC give to their younger self? What advice does your OC need now?

Already answered in a previous ask c:

[your-lady-star]

Revealing the Star: You’re the King, Yashiro

I don’t I’ve ever seen a character go from such a negative impression to an overwhelmingly positive reception quite like Yashiro Tsurugi.

Much like the game Tokyo Mirage Sessions itself, Yashiro was a character that no one was expecting to like. But by the end, not only were they genuinely surprised at the turn around, they were pleased to find something so likeable hidden underneath. And even if the fandom behind TMS isn’t as active as other fandoms, I don’t think I’m over exaggerating when I say that Yashiro is probably the most beloved character in the game. The way he was able to take every person who played this game, including me, by surprise really goes to show the amount of effort that was truly put into making him stand so strong.

And much like the players reaction, Yashiro himself went through a change. A change in himself that was waiting to be unveiled, but was held back due to the pain he was carrying from

1 traumatic event.

It’s definitely safe to say that the mass disappearance really did leave its impact on those that were involved within it. Tsubasa herself was left with quite the wound from this experience, but I really do feel like Yashiro carried the heaviest burden from this event.

Not only because he experienced this event at a young age, but unlike Tsubasa who was spared, though definitely scarred, Yashiro was dragged into the Idolasphere, watched as his father was possessed by an all powerful force, had said possessed father nearly try to kill him and witness him give up his own life just to protect his. Tiki may have been able to save him and brought him back to the real world, but that was the only good thing he took from that situation. Alone and very mentally damaged, Yashiro was left confused, afraid and unable to reach out to others because, let’s face it, who would believe such a story like this?

This was the definitive moment where Yashiro completely shut down.

You see that peaceful smile on his face as he watches his father perform? That’s a smile that wouldn’t be seen again for years. He put all his focus on trying to better his skills in the idol industry, not even giving so much as a second thought on wanting to build connections or expand his social group. He completely isolated himself from everyone and locked himself in his own world with no intention of ever leaving it.

But as the story progresses, we see him slowly re-enter the real world, the walls he had built around himself slowly began to crumble as, for the first time in many years, Yashiro reaches out to others.

And this is a change that never would have occurred had it not been for his

2 greatest friends.

To start off, we have his trusty mirage.

Navarre was Yashiro’s friend before he even knew he wanted friends. And while it’s not exactly made clear when these two met, it’s safe to say they’ve known one another for a long time, probably as long as Kiria and Tharja. But even with all that time between them, there was still some distance between them caused by Yashiro’s nature.

With every other bond between mirage and mirage master, we see that it is an equal cohesive relationship. They help one another, encourage one another, learn new things from the other and strive to help the other become better. But with Yashiro and Navarre, for the longest time, their relationship was completely one sided. Navarre put all his focus on helping Yashiro achieve his own, never giving his own input on a different tactic and remained generally quiet and obedient. But as Yashiro began to open up and learn new things, Navarre noticed this growth and changed along with him. He became much more vocal on his thoughts and noticed the changes in Yashiro over time. He came to see that there was far much more to the world than Yashiro had previously painted it as. And in turn, Yashiro began to appreciate Navarre more and was able to verbally express his appreciation for his partner, something the old Yashiro would be too proud to do so.

But let’s face, none of this would have happened had it not been for the one who left the greatest impact on him.

I know for a fact that Yashiro wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near as far as he did had it not been for Itsuki. Our flexible protagonist has helped to change the lives of others, but none of them were on as grand of a scale or held the same level of impact than what he did for Yashiro. Unlike the others where he gave them the support and guidance they needed in order to reach their dream or helped them to unlock parts of themselves that were previously hidden beneath their own fears and anxieties, Itsuki helped Yashiro to become an entirely different person.

While likely not his intention to do so, Itsuki was the one who helped Yashiro to remove himself from whom he used to be and become someone new. He helped him to embrace change, form bonds with others, mend wounds of his past, and acknowledge that he does have some faults to him.

Just look at the expression on Yashiro’s face when Itsuki tells him that he hasn’t broken free from his old views on perfection.

That look alone shows just how much his words affected him.

But one thing that was always made clear was that this brutal harshness was never done to hurt Yashiro. Yes, sometimes people do need some tough love in order to learn, but Itsuki’s intentions were to never make Yashiro feel bad about his faults. Not only because Itsuki is a generally caring person and does speak with a sense of unknown bluntness, but in the same scene I showed before where he told Yashiro off, those harsh critiques were instantly followed up by words of encouragement and the possibility of several future benefits.

I feel like what makes the friendship between them all the more stronger is because these two really are polar opposites. On one hand we have Yashiro, someone who has all the talent one could ask for but has no idea how to interact with the world on a social level. On the other hand we have Itsuki, someone who has no real drive or interest in the art industry but is always willing to lend an ear and a hand to anyone who needs it. The dynamic between them is made all the more better because they both can acknowledge that the other has both advantages and disadvantages to who they are and can learn to grow from one another. I know we don’t see much of Yashiro’s influence on Itsuki quite the same way, but Itsuki is one to grow from his interactions from everything and we do see slight hints of the idol princes affect on our impressionable jack-of-all-trades.

And while the main story does play a big role in that growth between the two, where we see the growth the most comes with

3 stellar sidestories.

Okay, allow me to sulk for a bit.

I’ve always believed that if you really love something or someone, you’d be willing to acknowledge when that certain something or someone has some faults. As much as we love to praise something as being perfect, it’s always good to point out when it’s not as perfect as we believe it to be. After all, nothing in this world exist without flaws, and realizing those faults are what allow us to not only grow more attached to it, but helps us to find ways to resolve those faults and grow from that experience.

So I have the guts to admit one fault with the side stories in this game. While there isn’t a side story that I would legitimately call awful, some side stories do hold more value than others. Some side stories don’t hold as much importance, and some can even be skipped completely because they don’t have much to offer for the character and the overarching story of them.

Yashiro is the exception to this.

Not only do all his side stories hold equal value, they all offer perspective on who he is and help to build up his development.

The first side story might at first seem like just a funny romp, for reason that I don’t blame people from thinking. But it not only helped to show just how much Yashiro is a bit of a man out of times seeing how he doesn’t take very good care of himself, but it was also the start for him to break out of his old habits and experience new things. The second not only helped him to finally acknowledge that his old ways weren’t nearly as perfect as he though, helping him to fully want to embrace change, but it allowed him to realize that working alongside others was more of a benefit than a detriment. It’s also where we started to see him becoming thankful for Itsuki’s influence and everything he’s doing for him. Something we would see full force in his final side story. For what is essentially the last side story players will get around to, it really does go out with a bang. This side story allowed Yashiro to finally make amends with his father and prove to him how much he’s grown ever since then. The difference in how he was at the start of the game to the end of his final side story is astounding and it’s one of the best character growths in the game.

And one thing that connects all these side stories together is a single overlapping theme for him: letting others into his life.

Something we see in   

4 performances alongside others.

Considering that a majority of Yashiro’s screen time with someone else is with Itsuki, these performances serve as a means for him to connect with others. Guest starring on “Microwavin’ with Mamorin”, co starring with Ellie on a sci-fi romance TV drama, playing the main villain on “Masquerader Raiga” and doing a collaboration with Kiria all served as means for him to reach out to the remaining group.

OK, I kinda might be cheating with that third one since we don’t see Yashiro and Touma on screen together, but I’m willing to let that slide for two reasons. 1: we don’t see the full episode so it is possible that Touma did show up. And 2: this did allow for Touma to see Yashiro as a changed man, much different compared to the man he was when he first joined. Also SIV Live doesn’t count because it was interrupted before it could finish and we only saw Kiria perform.

The only member of the main cast that we don’t see Yashiro interact with is Tsubasa, but we do see his views on her shift. Compare when he first appeared and thought she was nothing more than an ameture child to at the end of chapter 4 where he noticed the capabilities she showed because of Itsuki’s influence, something that convinced him that joining Fortuna would be the best.

And it’s these bonds he formed with everyone played a much greater role than we though, since this is what allowed him to secure

5 big wins.

These are victories that he achieved not by sticking to his old methods, but by relying on the help of others and working with them to overcome each obstacle. Let’s list out these newly added accomplishments.

Overcoming his dark doppelganger. Synchronizing with Ellie to take down the Whampa. Finally enacting revenge on Gharnef. Standing strong against his father to prove his worth. And playing his role in defeating Medeus.

None of these hurdles would have been overcome if Yashiro had stuck to his old ways and refused to accept change. Even the strongest soldier alive needs someone to back them up. And for challenges like these, from overcoming a manifestation of your own ego to the man responsible for killing your father and breaking down your spirit, these are battles not meant to be faced alone. And because he wasn’t alone, it’s what allowed him to come out victorious.

That’s what makes Yashiro such a fantastic character. It’s not the feats of strength or massive resume worth of skills that defies him. It’s the bonds he’s formed with others and the connections he created. It’s what makes him stand out so much amongst a cast of memorable characters and has made him so beloved by players. Our idol prince has come a long way from the stand off loner who wanted nothing to do with companionship, and he’s more than ready to face the future and embrace what may come. He’s fully ready to apply himself better to the situation and become a better person.

And chances are that’s something that isn’t going to change anytime soon.

[hyrule-kingdom-updates]

Hi there. I have a theory. We know by now that Siv is communicating with someone, and knows who the purple text being is. This is kind of a stupid theory, but I think that purple text is either Hylia or Astor. I’m leaning more towards Hylia, but I also think it could be Nayru. Nayru is the creator of the triforce of Wisdom. Zelda has the triforce of wisdom. Their text font is similar, nearly identical. Blame her, the doc said. Her could be Hylia. Pt. 1 cause I ran out of characters

Hi, I have a theory, pt 2, electric boogaloo. So where was I... right. Purple text is Nayru, goddess of Wisdom, because reasons. Siv is communicating with Nayru, and knows it. He’s trying to get something, likely something out of Larc. He probably wants to know what’s happening with the forearm incidents, or he thinks something bigger is going on. Or maybe I’m giving him too much smartness credit and he’s bargaining for rats. Likely not, but it’s a very Siv thing to do. Pt3 cause limit.

Pt 3 and hope tumblr hasn’t eaten my last asks. Siv is communicating with Nayru, or purple text being. Siv wants something. He wants to get it on his own. Purple text is following Larc, and recording things away from the Asivus radius. Now here’s the epic part: what is Nayru the goddess of? Wisdom. What is Siv lacking besides money and actually this isn’t a fair question. Siv lacks wisdom. He lost the braincell in the forearm incident. Character limit, pt 4

Pt4 of this theory dissolving into madness. Nayru is trying to give Siv the braincell and stupid autocorrect Siv not SUV. Anyways Siv lost braincell in forearm incident, Nayru trying to give it back. Siv won’t take it, he wants to solve the forearm incident mystery schmoots himself, without the braincell. Nayru is following Larc to find clues, and is expanding the Asivus Radius while doing it. Everyone will die. Except Liergo. Cucoos will rule. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. Now I die

That really is quite something! c:
