#bless sidlink

[storyofundertalelover]

I fucking hate sidlink. Sidon is like 100 years old and then he meet slink who is 17-20 like. what r you talking abt. that is a very immature kid and a dude who, lets be honest, is probably 25 in Zora years. the age gap is strange and I dont like it.

Jesus Christ y’all, there was only ONE FF7 this year and the rest was ALL SIDLINK.  You know what this means, don’t you?  I’m gonna draw even more sidlink next year!  Gonna have to change my name to Evil Robot Shark or something. 

But I’ll run this again at the end of the month.  I wanna see if the stormy midnight post can get up to a thousand by then!

Pokemon AU Ask and Master List - one of my favorite things to do tbh is make pokemon au's bc i absolutely adore the softness that comes with them {it's also maybe my special interest so im a little biased but shhh} So~ I want to share them with you all as well!!

The ones I've done: Tristamp//Vash//Roberto//Trigun Polycule Epithet Erased 4ggravate One Piece {open to remaking this one bc of how old it is} Fontaine Across the Spiderverse {kinda anyway, im open to expanding on it} Link Click Hazbin Hotel

If there's a specific universe, pairing, or even your own original character you want to see my pokemon take on, just let me know!! I absolutely love making these and interacting with all of you! ^^ {i will not make any for proship! if you request such, it will be turned into something familial. that being said, feel free to suggest rare pairs!!}

I’m unsure everyone’s thoughts on TotK spoilers at this point, but just to be on the safe side, putting my thoughts Sidon and Link and other under a cut. Just ramblings and some mild cackling.

Okay, so TotK presented a new fun facet for Sidon: they gave him a bride. Obviously, Sidlink fans went completely nuts. Makes sense. This is a big change from the BotW dynamics. So first things first: my thoughts on the betrothal itself.

Some people went batshit and accused Nintendo of queerbaiting. Of all things, they insisted that Nintendo saw people so excited about Sidlink that they inserted Yona to break up the pairing. I have multiple thoughts on that, which will be split up a bit through my flailing meta. Most obvious first, though: Sidon is the Prince of the Zora. He is the only heir left. A betrothal makes sense! Yona was known to him, trusted, and she seems to have a solid head on her shoulders... and is also good for not taking Sidon’s shit. She is a good choice for a Queen, both for the Zora people and for Sidon personally.

I love Sidon to death, but he absolutely needs someone to balance him out. The Zora people are a monarchy. While they lack the divine rule of the Hylian Royal Family, they do have a definite strictness and structure. There is a great deal of respect for the royal family, for the structure that is in place, and the Zora people also rely on the royal family for multiple things. The Zora royal family is clearly not symbolic or there for show: they are the guardians, protectors, and leaders of the Zora people. Whoever would be paired with Sidon would need to fulfill those roles. 

From what we’ve seen of Link, he has two sides: feral little warrior or duty-bound Knight. He doesn’t try to take leadership roles: he hears of a problem, sighs a little at how the problem isn’t being solved, and does it by himself. He works with teams, but there’s no indication of him ever leading. He’s the Tony Hawk of Hyrule. He’s the guy who does things so quietly that people are baffled when they’re successfully done.

So where does all of this leave Sidlink? I think there are a couple takes on it.

While Sidon is canonically marrying Yona (and absolutely no Yona bashing on my blog: I adore Yona), I think if Sidon married her and Yona acted as his queen and the Queen of the Zora, and yet he still had a full relationship with Link on the side... he would do so with everyone’s blessing. Dorephan’s, the Zora people’s, Yona’s... Fuck, he literally put a ring on it, and he was congratulated. He has a statue of him and Link, and everyone honors it. He has it literally in writing on the wall how much he adores Link and wants everyone to know how awesome Link is. And fuck, did everyone talk to Yona after Link successfully finds the Zora greaves? Sidlink isn’t even my ship and it seems like she is giving her blessing and sounds thrilled that Sidon found such a great side piece.

Seriously, my favorite pairing is Revalink, and every Zora interaction seemed like Sidon was madly in love with Link, and despite marrying Yona, everyone in the kingdom was cheering Sidon on. Wouldn’t be the craziest thing, really, and would require no effort to make Sidon/Yona a political, if happy and respectful, marriage, with the King (and really, the Queen, providing no children come from it) having concubines/lovers/etc. Which makes the second possibility for this subject even funnier.

This is my go-to, although, again, even for a non-shipper, Sidlink is amazingly easy in TotK: Sidon and Link have nothing going on. It’s completely platonic. It never occurred to either of them that people interpret their interactions and Sidon’s comments as romantic. Everyone -- Dorephan, Bazz, Yona, everyone -- is convinced Sidon and Link have been fucking for months, if not years, and they’re okay with it. Hell, they’re thrilled by it. Yona adores Link and is fine sharing Sidon with him. Hell, she encourages it (with neither Link or Sidon understanding it but happy to have some time to hang out together). Dorephan is convinced that he has a pseudo-son-in-law and couldn’t be prouder. He expected to have Link as an actual son-in-law a century ago, anyway. Everyone thinks they’re screwing, and everyone is happy with it, with Sidon and Link never catching on. 

Bonus points if Link is actually in another relationship, and one day, I might write that little bit of crack.

More bonus points if Sidon is actually ace (which is really, really easy to headcanon, honestly) and Yona attributes his struggles with babymaking to his love for Link.

There’s possibly Link struggling to figure out where he fits with Sidon after learning about the engagement, with most of the kingdom (including Yona) taking it for granted that of course Link would stay with Sidon. There’s Sidon struggling with figuring out how to insert Yona in his life and the canon struggling of having someone else to lose. (At least he’s confident that Link can and will survive, even though Link vanishing must have scared the shit out of him.) There’s possibly Link knowing that such things exist due to his travels and his own history with royals but not connecting it to himself, especially when he sees Sidon struggling with his relationship and upcoming marriage to Yona. Multiple opportunities for both fluff and plotty tension.

But yeah... at no point do I see Yona actually being a barrier to Sidlink. It’s amazingly easy to see her as a fucking Sidlink shipper, whether the pair or actually together or not.

(And honestly, I think she did what it wouldn’t have occurred to Link to do: yell at Sidon to put aside his personal feelings and fears and fulfill his damned responsibilities. I think Link would have just accepted Sidon’s actions and tried to solve the problem on his own, as he does. It is Yona who recognizes that it shouldn’t just fall to Link and that Sidon has to take care of his own responsibilities, too, and get out of his head.)

Of course, for the people who want to write Yona and Sidon breaking up the marriage, write Link taking up a leadership role and stepping up as a fellow ruler, whatever... this bit of meta absolutely is not critiquing any of those takes. I’m of the firm mindset that people should write what they want, that fanfiction is amazing for exploring, and if people dislike a certain writer’s takes, they should just leave the fic instead of going “Well, I disagree with what you did here and here’s why.” Hell, even if it’s not with my headcanons or whatever, Sidlink writers are awesome in this fandom and write many solid fics, both with worldbuilding to back up their choice and with fics without the details and background and just happy fluff (and porn). If you like the above takes, awesome! If you prefer for it just to be Sidlink (no Yona bashing, please, though), also awesome. It’s fanfiction. Have fun with it.

Since I'm struggling with drawings/ writing anything (currently working on a fic) I figured I'd give a little more ideas for my sidlink family.

It would not be mpreg, I've read those fics and it doesn't fit with the world of Zelda. Instead, I wanted it to be an amazing life-changing experience where they speak the goddess statues and get blessed with a child. Not right away but they would know when it was time.

I want them to have 3 or 4 kids I honestly don't know. I want them to have each other like Sidon had Mipha and Link just wants a big family.

If they have 4 kids. 2 girls and 2 boys

Names I have no idea I have Kova who is the first born, total badass but a total sweetie who would "never" hurt anyone (unless someone hurts her siblings, her parents, her grandfather,anyone in the domain, Zelda- for the others I was thinking for the other girl either Mipha, Peri or Fi 👀👀 boy names I always struggle so anyone have any ideas for good boy names.

Link at first was nervous to be a parent (due to trauma he found out about his own family) but eventually relaxes and is the chill parent ,still stern will let things slide depending on the situation

Sidon as a parent is a bit more cautious (due to Mipha's passing) and gets super overprotective of Kova (less overprotective of the other siblings but it's still there after he's chilled out) due to his worries that they'll get hurt or worse sometimes they lie about situations to keep Sidon from turning into overprotective shark dad mode lol

Not sure how age works for them I'm sure they get that slow aging like Link;;

I have so many ideas I think my brain would explode lol

But hopfuly you guys like my little ideas

[legofemme]

Im sorry but with all due respect totk sidlink fans treat yona the same way people treat sakura from naruto and its fucking insufferable god bless

[lunian]

Suddenly Prince didnt know what to say... and seems like he needs to be thrown in the water asap

I just imagined their first kiss wouldnt be really elegant lmao

[allen-pancake]

okay but like the same way artists do zines do fic writers make pretty, impressed versions of their fics? because I swear there are some on Ao3 I would live to have a printed version with a pretty cover art. and I wish writing fan content was more valued.

[cryptidsloth]

Sidon stans how are we feeling?

[nate-the-dreamer-blog]

SidLink is so beautiful I just want to cry cause they are just so perfect and I can't right now

[hylianfury]

Friends don’t call him the Hylian Terror without a reason...

@mameyes I cannot thank you enough for the message I don’t have time today to sit down properly and doodle much but I wanted at least to put this little ‘thank you’ out. All the love, really, I woke up with your message and even if today was a really long day it kept a smile on my face all the time. I’m glad you enjoy my wild child and how I portray him >.<

Link, you should watch your step more carefully...  Go, Master Kohga!  Show the Yiga Clan how it’s done!

Completely unrelated to my last post (or maybe a little bit related?), it still tickles me that Sidon is chronologically the opposite of Link. 

Link started out cheerful, loud, and confident, then grew up to be silent, shy, and (eventually) bratty. 

Sidon started out silent, shy, and bratty (according to him, anyway, we never got to see the bratty part), then grew up to be cheerful, loud, and confident. 

They are so cute. 😭💖

MY PERSONAL REMARKS:

FIRST: I love seeing my friends in my top reblogs. You guys rule, and your creations inspire me and bring me so much joy. Always, always share your work and your passions with me! Even if you think it isn't in my realm, share it anyway, because it makes you happy and that makes it worthwhile to me, too!

SECOND: A week after writing my longest tag - comparing one of my art styles to being so ill you can't lift yourself from the bathroom floor - I became violently ill, and didn't eat for an entire week. I lost a dangerous amount of weight and contemplated my mortality. I may have a weird and deep and horrifying magic that I can't control. Or it could all just be a disturbing coincidence.

THIRD: Bless the sidlink community! You guys puff up my ego so much and I love you! You give my mindless rambling headcanons more attention than they deserve, and make me excited to share my romantic fanart instead of embarrassed and awkwardly ashamed. No matter what the new game brings next year, let's keep celebrating this lovely ship together!

1/5 Sidlink Sunday: Depending on luck and the path one takes through the game, Link can have a Very Bad Time. The first living person he encounters after getting off the plateau is the crazy flower lady, who beats him within an inch of his life for accidentally nicking some flowers while fighting ChuChus. Then, what he thinks to be a few friendly travelers turn out to be Yiga assassins in disguise. He finally makes it to Kakariko, where he is reminded of his duty, celebrated for his destiny.

2/5 Tasked with saving a world he does not know, which so far has shown little concern for him. He’s given a list of names and targets, people he must save to aid him in this task. First up is Mipha and Vah Ruta of the Zora. The trek there is grueling, damp and miserable with monsters at every turn. Upon his arrival at Zora’s Domain he’s berated by the elders for deeds he does not remember, and the only topics up for discussion are a friend he does not know, and the duty yet before him.

3/5 “Father… I do not believe discussing my sister is helping matters at the moment. Link seems confused.” Link’s confused. Why would that matter? He’s always confused. Nothing that had happened so far made sense to him, but he still had his duty to fulfill. The meeting proceeds, and the task of boarding the Divine Beast begins. Once victorious the Zora celebrate him as a hero, the long-lost champion fulfilling his duty. All except Sidon, who celebrates him as a friend, truly impressed by his

4/5 accomplishments. It feels different, somehow, knowing this one person does not take his deeds for granted as ordained by fate. It almost feels as if his actions were his own, rather than the culmination of an age-old prophecy. Sidon doesn’t even urge him to move on to the next target, instead invites him to visit. But Link knows he has a duty to fulfill. He moves on. But throughout his journey, whenever the world takes him for granted or makes him feel as if his deeds are not his own,

5/5 he returns to Zora’s Domain. There a bright smile awaits to greet him as a friend, to remind him that he is more than his destiny. (This one got too long and rambly, woops)–

god DAMN what a way to Kick off Sidlink Sunday! As always you blew my socks off my friend WOW im so soft for this
