He's a boomer but he checks out sir

[amethyst-halo]

ok here's a full proper pangolin style goron sheet!! i was inspired by @ezlo-x to try my hand at a new interpretation of gorons and i really like how they came out!!!

[hybryda]

Gorons roll out! Not all, design vise I'm not crazy about the boulder boys... love the characters and vibes but that's not enough to go over every model when I can do some swords in that time. (also I need to figure out how to make the secret stone look pretty and close to the game :///)

Thanks to the AoC we have both looks for our boy Daruk : D

Yunobo and some Yunobo balls... It's fun to see how his outfit changed. He no longer lives in shadow of Daruk. The chain piece and blue garb are gone. Also he got some facial hair. Still little but our boy is growing up ;3;

Bludo has the same model in both games and is quite taller that other Gorons and sad news... when Rito sage only missed eyes, Goron sage misses the whole head. There is nothing under the helm ;3; so no look under the helmet :<

19 days until Tears of the Kingdom releases

Here’s drawing 42/60: Bludo

[imaginethezeldaverse]

Ohhh this has been something I've been wanting to write about for ages. Like since BotW days - but it feels far more fitting after the events of Tears of the Kingdom. Though we don't have any canonical evidence of Yunobo's parents, I'm going to assume (and honestly headcanon) that Bludo had a huge hand in raising him. Please be warned for Tears of the Kingdom spoilers below!

A week after the events of Death Mountain's clearing of whatever monstrosity lay underneath it, Goron City finally seemed to settle. YunoboCo was back on its feet, mining ore and precious stones as business intended. But there was more to it once Link and Yunobo had ascended from the depths. Wearing a golden mawashi patterned sash, adorned with a fiery red stone, was Yunobo. He'd told the people of Goron City that they were free from the havoc that those marbled rock roasts wreaked on their home, but not after apologizing for his awful behavior, citing possession from the mask that was given to him by "Princess Zelda". Bludo remembered barking at him, initially furious that Yunobo would make him worry the way he did, until the two young ones finally got him to calm down. He did save Goron City after all, even if it was a mess Yunobo was still a part of. When he and Link explained what the sash was, and that Yunobo was destined to be beyond Daruk's successor, the city was in awe. Young Champion of the Gorons, Yunobo, was now the awakened the Sage of Fire. Bludo had only heard stories of a Goron sage when he was a kid, old cobble tales, he thought. Yet the proof stood right before him. With Yunobo's fiery charge roll and the flames that blazed from each swing of the Boulder Breaker, there was no real room for doubt. ---- Yunobo stepped just outside of of Goron City, a little overhang that he'd secretly hide away on for as long as he could remember. His eyes scanned from left to right, taking in the metal framing and jagged rock that built the entirety of his home. To think only a few years ago the Goron people were in dire straits, everyone getting sick after Death Mountain had completely cooled down. The thought saddened Yunobo, fearing Bludo's plight at one point when the old man fell ill. He remembered mining twice as hard those few days, scared, but determined to find a way to bring life back into Goron City. He couldn't remember if the liquid running down his face was sweat or tears at the time. He looked straight ahead, the earthy terrain of Death Mountain staring back at him. Yunobo looked down at his hands, flexing his fingers before rolling them into complete fists. "Figures I'd find ya here," croaked an old voice. Off to wayside and slowly making his way up, the boss of the Gorons shuffled his way toward Yunobo. The younger of the two was slightly taken aback, "Boss?! How'd you know I'd be up here, goro? I never told anyone about this bridge." Bludo scoffed, stroking one of his lengthy beard tails, "Who d'ya think helped build this bridge, boy?" Yunobo scratched at the back of his head, "R-Right, sorry, sir..." he'd truthfully forgotten that Bludo helped rebuild Goron City after its last eruption, before he was born. The elder hummed noncommittally, looking out at the same view of Death Mountain as his protege, "Besides, you've been comin' here since ya were justa nugget, I've always known." Bludo's only good eye looked over Yunobo carefully. So different he was from the little scamp that often clung to him twenty years ago. Yunobo was always a timid little thing, constantly terrified of monsters and the rumbles of Death Mountain. The Goron boss couldn't remember a time where he wasn't crying as a kid over when he was. Bludo supposed that's what made him so protective of Yunobo for so long. Looking at him now: he stood tall, strong - Daruk's signature weapon, the Boulder Breaker, sitting across his back just like it was meant to. He was exactly the kind of Goron Bludo had wanted Yunobo to be all along...and yet nothing at all like he had expected. Despite all of his protection and guidance, Yunobo had forged his own path, and now he took on a destiny far greater than the old boss could have ever hoped to prepare him for. It almost made him sad to think about, the fact that Yunobo wouldn't need him anymore. Bludo cleared his throat, "So...a sage, huh?" Yunobo shook his head, his laughter being one of disbelief, "Of all the Gorons in the city, goro, Me! A SAGE!" his hands flew in front of him in incredulity, "Can ya believe it, boss?" Bludo blinked once, a flashback of this tiny Goron child crying out for him before the vision was gone by his second blink. A hearty, but wistful smile crossed the old man’s face. With a resounding clap, his hand smacked onto Yunobo’s shoulder, “I can, son.”  Yunobo turned to his mentor, swallowing back the rock that threatened to settle in his throat, “S-Sir...?”  Bludo smiled wider now, “Ya saved Goron City, Yunobo,” the Goron chief settled his eye on him, “Ya did good, boy.”  This truly choked up Yunobo, eyes glassy from the praise of the Goron he looked up to most. Trying his hardest not to cry, Yunobo quickly extended his hand out to Bludo, “I swear I’ll make you proud, boss!”  The old man looked down at Yunobo’s hand, grasping it tightly before immediately yanking him forward. Yunobo stumbled in a yelp, only to be caught by his mentor, who wrapped a strong arm around his back. It took a moment for the Goron champion to realize what was happening before his eyes truly blurred over and he returned his boss’s embrace. Bludo pat the solid rocks of Yunobo’s back, “Already am, son, already am.”

[ezlo-x]

the idea of painkillers that Bludo mentions is interesting but also a little funny to me

I can only imagine these giant pills that fit in the palm of a hylian's hand. Also Bludo or Gorons in general just...I just know these guys chew on that painkiller they do not care. They for sure have different taste buds than others where they can tolerate that tangy taste

those painkillers for sure look like rocks

>> You and Adonis were scheduled to do a shoot for a catalogue three nights ago, but he never showed. Your agent was annoyed, but not too worried. However, now that it's going on three nights with no contact, people are starting to talk.

>> Adonis is very private about his personal life, so you don't know too much about him, but you feel comfortable calling him a friend. You've tried contacting him as well, but you came up empty just like everyone else. It's making you worry.

>> You recall him mentioning having a kismesis at one point. Maybe she has some idea where Adonis went. If not, you'll look into hiring a private investigator or something to aid in the search.

Influential model Bludoe Kyeeve is looking sharp in his new suit, which he commented was personally tailored for him, but he wouldn’t tell the press who the designer was.

Governance in Hyrule

A hundred years after the Calamity, the Hyrulean monarchy only exists in the form of a ruined castle and a legendary princess. Not much can be said about the monarchy in its absence, but it’s interesting to think about in relation to the other systems of governance in Hyrule.

Although the Zora have a royal family, they’re essentially living in a communist utopia of shared resources and communal living spaces. Everyone works according to their interests and talents, and individual disagreements are given voice but ultimately suppressed for the good of the group.

Rito society seems to be the opposite. Warriors are highly respected, and they act according to their own individual ideas of what they think is the best course of action. Kaneli, the chief of Rito Village, is a retired warrior whose role seems to be largely symbolic. Although the village chief is respected, he has no real control over the younger warriors.

Kakariko Village seems to operate somewhere in the middle. As the village elder, Impa maintains cultural lore and tradition, and she can suggest courses of action. Still, her role is symbolic, and she does not directly arbitrate disputes or issue commands.

The Yiga are a bunch of obnoxious theater kids who have formed a cult around the most obnoxious theater kid. They are an outlier and should not be counted.

The Gorons seem to be set up like a corporation. Bludo is the founder of the Goron Group Mining Company, and he oversees its operations and manages trade. He commands respect, but he isn’t particularly concerned with anything outside his own interests. A lot of people who work for him don’t agree with his decisions, but they take it for granted that “labor” is what they should be doing. The Gorons are modeled on a stereotype of the traditional working class of downtown Tokyo, and I think their portrayal is meant to be a lighthearted parody of working-class solidarity.

Riju is the only person even remotely resembling a true ruler, and she’s an almost platonic ideal of a just and benevolent sovereign. She commands soldiers, directly confronts outside threats, enforces security over the market, ensures the fair distribution of resources, holds audiences with advisors and individual citizens, and generally works to maintain the wellbeing of her people. The idea seems to be that, as the only actual city in Hyrule, Gerudo Town is the only place that requires an actual government.  

Meanwhile, the Hylians seem to be doing just fine without any sort of government at all. They live in a beautiful and happy post-scarcity world where everyone has a place to live and enough to eat. Roads, bridges, and public stables are carefully maintained, and trade flows smoothly. People travel for pleasure and are free to pursue their own interests, whether it’s studying leviathan bones or writing magazine articles or hunting for mushrooms or searching for romance.  

It feels like the only real function of the Hyrulean monarchy was to combat Ganon, and Ganon only exists in opposition to the monarchy. I don’t mean to suggest that the destruction and loss of life that occurred during the Calamity was a good thing, but maybe it wouldn’t be such a tragedy if the Hyrulean monarchy were to end with Zelda…?
