live brothers reaction.

you get no context, because there is no context. just live brothers reaction.

What's the thing you like the most from your AmaCurses AU? Do the other Links know why terrako is taking them around for a trip?

Terrako is, unfortunately, not very forthcorming.

As for favourite thing, that's so hard to answer, there's a lot of things I enjoy about the AU!

Ever think about how the sharpest sword would be incredibly ineffective? How swords weren't made as sharp as something like a razor because they needed to be sturdy, needed to be swung into hard material without breaking. Even when peasants weaponized their scythes they did it by making them blunter. The necessities of an object that needed to be able to be blocked by a shield and not break were more important than that it be as good as possible at cutting.

Maybe you should be that way. Maybe it's more important you don't break than that you're 100% effective.

i have a lot of admiration for immediately-post-resurrection-john because he was given the chance to rework his entire society and was like: swords. they HAVE to use swords. also cool capes and cloaks

So my mind’s been just running with the “Strawberry Jam Sword is a corrupted Soul Jam” idea I posited earlier today, and so I made this

So for the joke context, it’s supposed to be that the other Soul Jams can recognize that the Strawberry Jam Sword is a corrupted Soul Jam (even if only they know), and they can just like, sense the evil coming from it. Meanwhile the SJS doesn’t like them for the opposite reasons, and so when you put two of them close together, they just like, hate each other on site and start hissing at each other like cats. Thing is, nobody else but their wielders (and probably the other Soul Jams) can hear them, and nobody knows about the SJS’s true nature, so to them they’re just hearing random hissing and don’t know where it’s coming from. Also they can each only hear their Jam’s side of the argument, if there is one

I like to think they eventually figure out it’s coming from the swords, so they pull them away, only for the noise to stop, then put them next to each other again, and they start hissing again. And then just doing this repeatedly, meanwhile any outsider seeing this is like “what the heck are you two doing?”

Also, potentially the reason these two just keep choosing violence against the other, their swords are each subconsciously making them want to fight one another, whether intentionally or not. Not sure if I’m keeping that as legitimate, but I dunno. It’s a possible explanation

Honestly I think I need to draw Dark Cacao more, because while I can draw Dark Choco just fine, Dark Cacao gives me trouble. Might also just be because Dark Cacao’s outfit is much more complex. Also probably because I drew this without a sketch layer, which I never do in these kinds of drawings

But yeah, random funny idea from my head that I wanted to share

How about, for the Bugsnax DLC boss... Unlike every other boss follower, the Cheddorbs don't seem to actually need the Cheddboardle Rex to exist. There's one rolling around the island as soon as you open the way for Triffany and Shelda. You even have to catch it to get as far as the boss battle.

And the Cheddaboardle Rex could just throw rocks at you forever and you'd never be able to fight back. It's only when it throws living beings at you that you can turn them back on it and hurt it.

The Stone Grumps would apparently appease the Bugsnax by throwing people into the pit in the temple, which eventually backfired and destroyed them when the Bugsnax gave one of the sacrifices superpowers instead. So thematically, the Cheddorbs are the sacrifices. They don't need the Cheddaboardle, but the Cheddaboardle needs them.

Also, Cheddaboardle Rex is based on a dung beetle, which rolls dung balls as a food source for either itself or its young. What do Bugsnax eat?

Also also, dung beetles are linked to rebirth in Ancient Egyptian mythology. That might not seem relevant, but the temple has a picture of a Cheddaboardle Rex holding up a Cheddorb that looks a lot like depictions of the scarab god Khepri holding up the sun. So the game does invoke at least some Ancient Egyptian symbolism for the Cheddaboardle Rex.

Is that anything?

the crazy part is i wouldn't even have 2 buy one if my estranged relatives weren't pussies. sold all our family swords when my parents were babies, like wtf is wrong with u.

[encrucijada]

writing feels scary again back to my silly zelda fanfic where i feel safe

[despair-ninja-everything-agency]

God, reminds me that I wrote a (currently unfinished) fanfic for my Ryuenix AU. The idea was that Karuma has been in the Naruhodo line's possession up until Phoenix and, around after Dual Destinies, he decides that he'd give it back to Asogi's descendant (I named him Gisei Asogi), only for him to be killed and Phoenix to be framed. Apollo had to defend him in court.

In context, before this trial, Ryunosuke being Phoenix's ancestor was NOT common knowledge due to past prejudice he and his family faced in the area he lived in when he was little so his parents decided to ditch the Naruhodo name and became the Wrights, trying their hardest to be accepted in the American society and not mentioning their Japanese heritage (despite how famous Ryunosuke was). I figure that, despite the anti-Japanese sentiment and anti-immigrant were not enacted in Japanifornia as it is irl, there'd still a bit prejudice against Japanese people due to WW2. Because of this, Phoenix has an internalized fear of rejection if he were to out himself as Ryuichi Naruhodo (an unfounded fear in the current state of Japanifornia but still).

So like, in trial, Apollo initally managed to capitalized on the fact that the supposed killer was someone named 'Naruhodo R.' and not Phoenix thus having little to no motive on the case, only for the prosecution (I wrote Simon in the fic) to reveal his birth name, pulling him back as the suspected culprit.

That's as far as I wrote, but I remember the actual killer was Gisei Asogi's Western wife Mina Discree. I forgot her motive but given the pun in her name, I think it has something to do with xenophobia. Or that she viewed the Naruhodo as unworthy of Karuma but has little love for Gisei that's why she killed her husband to implicate Phoenix idk

Afterwards, Phoenix wasn't found guilty and ended up sending Karuma back to the living Asogi family members in order to maintain good relationship between the two. I can see that the Naruhodo-Asogi relationship started to deteriorate after a certain generations, only rekindled recently by Phoenix and Gisei's generation.

I think the choice to make the ancient hero a Zonai was clumsily handled, but not without some potential. It makes no sense that everyone suddenly knows he looked like that (especially since it's not recorded on the tapestry), and it makes less sense because the only people capable of producing half-Zonai half-Hylian kids were, as far as we saw, Sonia and Rauru. But I'm willing to toy with it in a different sense: namely, the aspect already works like the transformation masks, so what if it's the spirit of an older Zonai hero the ancient hero we know of assumed? It could even still contain the soul of a hero who saved Hyrule in the era the Zonai apparently populated the surface.

I'm frustrated by all the Zonai retconning of things that didn't need to be retconned, but more interesting headcanons are working okay as a solution.

someone: [refers to any Link other than the one in Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask as the Hero of Time and/or refers to any Zelda other than the one in Skyward Sword as Hylia's reincarnation]

teaching myself blender and getting that rush of learning a New Thing

having to learn how to make "good toplogy" if I actually want to texture and animate so that it "looks good" and "doesn't crash my computer" or WHATEVER

[quibbs126]

I was thinking about the All Ancients Disappear AU again, and I’m in part debating having Dark Choco as an antagonist, in a Sovereign of Darkness sort of way (and maybe because Dune is on my mind)

Like, he finds the Strawberry Jam Sword in this AU to help save his kingdom which is struggling without the king, but without Dark Cacao around, Dark Choco basically succumbs to the sword’s influence and the Dark Choco of current day is basically just the sword using him as a dough puppet

And also, maybe instead of just being a destroyer, this “Dark Choco” is more of an emperor/conqueror, who’s taken control of at least the eastern side of Crispia, including the Dark Cacao Kingdom, Hollyberry Kingdom, and possibly Dragon’s Valley

I’m not sure if I’ll go back and actually do more with this AU, but it was a thought I had and wanted to share
