I like looking at depictions of swords in fantasy/fictional media the same way a cat loves a piece of random furniture: by absolutely ripping that shit up
sometimes it's little things like "ok the guard is really tall for some reason that's weird" or "ooh the quillions are silly shaped that could let you do some goofy blade catching stuff
sometimes it's "oh, you went full daedra on this poor thing? let me tear it up with my brain and psychically tell you you're dumb (with all the love in my heart, of course) because your design could hurt you as much as the other guy" or "that's just too fuckin big what is it for nuts bersk or smth" and then it is and im like ":p why am i surprised"
I do this with all the goofy thangs I like where I feel comfortable with my understanding of the subject because it's fun and a reblog is a reblog and I still liked the post too and again I want to say here "with all the love in my heart" because someone worked hard on that and I still respect that and if I ever post art here I want to see this kind of interaction with it I like when they tell me how to improve

Listen, I know I said in this post from June 15th that Emily is perfect as a civilian, and I was vindicated when the Invasion story missions dropped and showed that Emily is holed up in some bunker in King's Row with omnics and bigots alike.
Tumblr media
but Blizzard, PLEASE, I need more Emily content. I am starving. She deserves to be given a canon voice like Iggy in the Underworld mission. She deserves to have a canon last name. She deserves the world.
It's so infuriating that the Lena and Emily spray even gets censored in Play of the Games and highlights. I mean, I get why (and you can ask the winners of the 2023 Overwatch World Cup if you don't) but damn it!
I am SO sick and tired of seeing people ship Lena with men, whether it be self-ships, generic nude models in Blender, or male playable characters. (If you fall into one of those categories, please let me know so I can block your disgusting ass.)
I need the cishets to know- to have it absolutely drilled into their skulls- that Lena is dating Emily Overwatch. Give me a voice line about her in the Hero Gallery. Give me a weapon charm version of the Lena and Emily spray, or at least a weapon charm of an orange heart that says "Emily" in the center. Give me a victory pose where Lena is bridal-carrying Emily. Anything.
Also, this is going to sound very weird, but the "Caught you staring!" voice line still makes me uncomfortable every time I hear it in game. I get that Lena is a playful person, but did we learn nothing from the Over the Shoulder controversy in 2016? (Even the current Over the Shoulder victory pose makes me uncomfortable. It's one of the few victory poses I don't have favorited in the Hero Gallery. Why would Lena be striking a pose from a WW2 pinup poster?) I remember hearing complaints that it's unfair that Lifeweaver, Baptiste, and Mauga get to flirt with each other while our lesbian characters don't get to flirt with women, but Lena is in a loving relationship. I think she should be able to express an aesthetic attraction towards female characters (like Sombra saying "You're cuter up close" to any gender like the bisexual icon she is when getting a melee kill), but she should not be alluding to her butt whenever you use all three Blinks. The internet is so quick to objectify Overwatch characters, and it's disappointing to see Blizzard fueling those flames.
Rant aside, I also want to point out that Lena tells Emily to let the omnics in the bunker know about Null Sector.
I remember joking in a Discord server with friends who don't go here but know Lena "Tracer" Oxton is my lifeblood about the idea of Lena having paparazzi that write articles such as "The Rumour Come Out: Does Tracer from Overwatch is Gay?" after seeing them casually plan to meet Emily at the pub in London Calling Issue 1. Does everyone in the bunker just know Emily is Lena's girlfriend? Either way, I love to imagine the conversation that would ensue.
"So, omnics, I've gathered you here today to discuss some important matters. As you may or may not know, Tracer from Overwatch is my girlfriend, and uh... A majority of the omnic population in Toronto has been abducted and possibly even had their minds wiped. Overwatch was late, so they couldn't do anything about it. Sure, Null Sector could very well be breaking into this bunker in no time at all, but Overwatch is prepared now! We're going to be okay... I think."
I'll finish this off by saying that, if she can't come to Watchpoint: Gibraltar, Emily should at least be added to the Miscellaneous section of the Intel Database.
Tumblr media
Thank you for listening to my TEDTalk.

heyheyhey idk if u know how cool and important it is to have a badass assassin story with something other than cis gays and have it be Not a Big Deal but,,, it’s literally one of the first legit published books I’ve ever found like it?? And in a genre that I love??? And written well?? And genuinely funny as fuck?? Idk I’ve never seen an enby that gets to exist without it being A Tragic Plot Point or something To Overcome so thank u??? Like so much???? I can’t tell u how much???? I definitely didn’t cry at all about it nope not even once
:DDDDDD omg, my heart started pumping faster when I saw this ask. I am always so giddy when people talk to me about my books, especially the specifics about characters and tone and things they liked!
Yeah, I wanted to include every goddamn color in the pride flag!!
Pansexual/ bisexual assassins, nonbinary demons, a transgender assassin, an unrealistic number of gay and lesbian demon summoners! That's my fantasy world. It's not talked about, because it's simply normal.
Irvine in particular I adore because I am nonbinary myself, but also because they are just so powerful, and they don't even know just how much yet!
I always disliked how many nonbinary characters in fantasy and sci fi are just token "they/them" body guards, robotic or asexual leaning non-humans, or quiet, unassuming love interests who only exist to show a character is pansexual or something.
Irvine was my love letter to my own identity because I thought hey what if there was a nonbinary character who just fucks shit up, every time they appear? What if there was an enby who just kicks ass and is sexily never showing their face, and wears a badass hood all the time?
And then Irvine was born. My little storm demon :)
Also, I don't know if you ever saw the commissioned art, but I will post it in this ask for your viewing pleasure:
Tumblr media
so glad you love my child. my baby blorbo.
who i intend to put through the wringer, lemme tell you, because i like to put all my favorite characters through it.
So glad you find it unique too! I honestly was feeling so badly about it, after months of querying and beta swapping, and getting feedback from dozens of people who only found things to criticize as being too strange or too different or stylistically confusing.
I went through a year of being told it wasn't good, and-and I'm a little emotional and overcome with appreciation and gratitude to all the people who not only bought or downloaded the book while it was free, but who also actually read the whole thing, and found it GOOD.
Like people...think i...write well??? oh gosh. oh god.
chills.
The asks I get keep me going through this mundane, dull little world. They give me something to look forward to, in between the doldrums of normalcy...
They also validate me for thinking someone...someone out there must find this good...
Thanks for taking the time to send this ask :))) it means the world to me.
I save them all in my drafts so I can look at them when I'm sad...
Also, THANK YOU FOR NOTICING THAT THE BOOK IS FUNNY.
in between the angst and the action and the blood-filled fist fighting and crazy sniper/melee battles, there is a lot of dark comedy!
I love dark comedy. I love satire.
As much as I love being edgy, I think a story without any humor at all is unbearable.
I want you to hurt with my characters...but you should also laugh with them! Laugh at them! Be amused by their stupidity...or by their cleverness.
Be charmed by their vulnerability, but also their insane, abnormal, bizarre points of view!
AAAAH, I'm so glad you found it funny AND heart-breaking!
That is exactly what I want every story of mine to be.
Thank you thank you thank you for this ask!!
Link to referenced book here, for all the poor spectators who have to see me blubbering like a child.
Please leave a review on Amazon/Goodreads if you haven't already, but if you have, thank you for that too! Every review helps me out so much!

hrmmm lukas headcanons
he's 18 in season 1 and 28 in season 2
short king, 5'4"
he's bisexual and poly. he's got two hands one for jesse and one for petra
him and aiden/maya/gill were all raised together by his grandma, the other 3 being adopted. everyone would ask lukas why he sticks with those assholes, and it's because they're his family, and they grew up together and it would hurt to break off from them and it DID hurt when aiden decided to cut him out.
bro loves baking as a hobby. everyone loves his cookies. aiden too but he never admits it and always says something's wrong with them but would eat half the batch every time without fail
he's a cat guy, but also a horse girl. his old horse was named reba, she went missing when the witherstorm hit. he kept the black horse he rode from the witherstorm on and named her dolly.
very good at archery because i decided the ocelots are a hunting group, not primarily builders though they are good at it. his melee combat though... yikes. in sky city when he meets aiden in the throne room, he's almost immediately taken down.
not a big fan of loud or busy environments. after moving from the treehouse to beacontown, he tried to live with petra and jesse for a while but didn't like the city life and moved.
he HATES the cold! no amount of layers can save this man. that's another reason why he moved away from beacontown. it's too far up north for him.
lukas kinda like the therapist of the group cause he's the most mentally stable and best at feelings and best at handling them and overall he is just comically perfect idk what to say. he doesn't like it when people hold everything in and explode because that's kinda what happened with aiden. this puts him at odds with petra in season 2.
he wears a really gay cowboy belt with an ocelot on it. also walks around in cowboy boots.
definitely has an ocelot fursona that he has many doodles and lore of in his little journal. he has also doodled the whole order fursonas: jesse a pig, petra a wolf, axel a creeper, olivia a sheep, and ivor a bat. if anyone asked him what their fursona would be, he has an answer. but the only people who know this information are jesse and petra who accidentally found it looking for another book and he made them promise not to tell anyone.
lukas is real easy to become friends with so he became closest with ivor before anyone else in the order. this is partially because they share an interest in history and old legends and reading and nerd stuff like that. sometimes they just chill and discuss these nerd things over tea.
big fan of country music and classic rock
you're not gonna believe this but his favorite drink is a nice warm glass of milk
lukas was the closest thing petra had to a friend before the order came to be, so he always had discounted deals when it came to rare items. once in a blue moon, she'd even give him something cool for free as her way of saying she likes having him around without actually saying it.
he's very humble, and even when the order is drowning in riches and the hall is decorated with gold and diamonds and everyone has fancy enchanted armor and tools, this dude is still running around in iron pauldrons and still got a set of iron tools. his bow isn't even enchanted, despite petra begging him to let her put something on it since she enchanted everyone else's stuff.
i think he has a book series that's like minecraft warrior cats. like his biggest book is obviously the one on the witherstorm but his cat books are definitely a renowned series with fans all over the world. and he tooootally didn't base some of the characters after his friends...
i have more but this is just off the top of my head so maybe i'll make another post one day

Hey are you still doing the ask game? Would it be too much to ask for another 17
i will do the ask game FOREVER. i have Infinite Headcanons and Opinions and i am just happy people want to know about them
17. List five headcanons for your favorite characters!
in a melee range fight, Sakura would beat most of the franchise's standard Fighter Girls: Maki, Tenko, Peko, and Akane. she would have trouble with Syo because Syo is energetic and built exclusively to kill and maim; she would have trouble with Mukuro at range, but not up close. Kamukura is i guess a Fighter Boy and would easily beat Sakura, but he was engineered to be better, so he doesn't count. Junko is kind of a born-Kamukura rather than an engineered one, but she doesn't have the muscle mass to compete against Sakura, though she's certainly agile. nonetheless, Sakura would likely school her as well
speaking of strength, Kaede has surprisingly strong Arms. not SHSL level, not even Tenko level, but she could princess carry many of the smaller girls without much trouble.
normally i don't assign things like this to the WOH because they're kiddos, but to me it's fairly obvious that Kotoko is a Tiny Baby Gay. i mean that in the most innocent way possible, of course
Miu has brain damage. it's obvious to me but i forget that it's not explicitly stated so it is a Headcanon, technically
all of Akane's siblings survived the apocalypse and she finds them all post-DR3. there are some Happy Endings in this franchise
BONUS: in the UTDP/Summer Camp universe, Danganronpa Zero still partially happened. it's just that everyone easily saw through Mukuro's disguise and despite Matsuda's help, Junko broke through within a week after getting bored of being Ryoko. everyone refers to it as The Spring Junko Faked A Head Injury For Kicks, and no one cares that much that it happened because it's just the kind of shit Enoshima does sometimes lol lmao. Matsuda lives because Junko completely forgets his involvement within 36 hours

[The following will NOT contain spoilers for TEVI, but is a lengthy rant with basically no direction. Viewer Discretion Is Advised]
There were issues with TEVI's story, and I fully enjoyed it regardless of them, and the music is really incredible.
But the gameplay. Oh boy the gameplay (somewhat affectionate).
To start with, I like the crafting system. Not only is it pretty good game-wise, but it really helps emphasize that component of Tevi as a character.
I like the orbitars, they have some really good options, and their whatever it is Burst Gauge thing is pretty neat too, although can be a bit confusing to try to switch around to the one you want while you're busy fighting, as it's desire to add more quality detail over Ribbon's ui actually kind of hurts it. In RR, Ribbons attack options are color coded, and while switching them not only does the bar near your health change but there's also a prompt near your character. In TEVI that's still pretty much the case but since they're icons that are color coded to the two orbitars themselves, trying to swap between them without looking near your health bar can be a bit frustrating when you use the wrong one. C1+C3, S1+S3 look functionally alike, though C2 and S2 are a little more distinct in terms of icon of the others of the same type. Granted you'll never really be confused on if you're on S or C (which I was on S for most of the time, holy fucking shit does S1 kick ass).
Supposedly ranged builds are pretty powerful, but I mostly used melee, using charged shots to add damage, as one generally did in RR outside of 0% runs, especially as that seems to be encouraged in TEVI due to the amount of sigils that change attacks at certain combo levels, and combos in general are a mostly melee thing, unless you're using basic shots and then you're probably using mana and depriving yourself of charged shots. But maybe magic sigils fix that problem, again I mostly did melee so I wouldn't know. Maybe I could try doing a magic run, it seems like a game I'd like to play again as I did with RR.
Speaking of which, Cocoa Mode 2.0 with Cocoa 2.0 in Vena. Please. I need this. I loved Cocoa's playstyle. I loved her bombs. I want it back. And I'm sure we'll probably get it back since they're working on DLC.
In terms of character design, while I do miss the very gay all girl cast of RR, I do love TEVI's characters (yes even the men, they're good characters), and I do find it hilarious (and comforting to an extent) that despite the changes in theming and in character aesthetics, TEVI continues RR's tradition of not allowing characters to wear pants. Well, quite a few do, but for the most part everyone is still pants-less. Yet also with significantly more details to off put that so the game also doesn't feel as sexualized as RR does. Like just compare Tevi to Erina. They're both wearing bunny suits and have ears, and yet Tevi has a lot of details that put that off to the point that you might not even realize that's what it's supposed to be, with the belt and pouches, the leg strap, whatever the hell she's doing with like some kind of coat or jacket. The characters also feel a lot more developed in TEVI. I mean RR's cast had character to them, but most of it was based on character tropes and "oh yeah she's hella gay, but for Character D, unlike Character C who's gay for Character B who seems gay for Character F but will probably come around to C eventually." But none of them have character moments like what happens throughout TEVI's story. Which I would love to go on a tangent about, and might on a separate post, but not yet (see: top of post).
Also, voice acting???? I do like it, even though I don't really understand Japanese at all, it does still add tonal indications that really emphasize the energy of not only what people are saying, but also of the character themselves. If a character is feeling really emotional, on the verge of crying, you can feel that in the VA, if they're starting to get annoyed, you can feel that. If they're very currently not taking their job seriously and are basically on a vacation, you can feel that in their energy. Along with the words themselves and the character sprites to go along with it, character dialogue feels so much more advanced than in RR. TEVI's story can be a little dark, and sometimes you can hear the effects the events are happening on the main 3 through their voices. There's times you can hear Tevi's voice cracking with just pure unadulterated rage and anguish, and I love that. You can hear characters falter as they realize the full scope of what was happening just outside of their vision all their lives, all the things they never knew, were never told. And I think the VA work really contributes positively to that, even if you don't listen to the full thing. You can hear it in just the first couple words of each dialogue.
I guess that kinda concludes my rant. Standard recommendation that you should play both TEVI and Rabi-Ribi, and I look forward to the DLC of TEVI and eventually when RR2 comes out. Unless you hate metroidvanias. Then they may not be for you. Ender Lilies and Ender Magnolias (which is still in EA during the posting of this) are also pretty good. Hollow Knight and Cave Story+ too. Also Dust: An Elysian Tail, Lost Ruins, Touhou Luna Nights.
Also BASED ROLEO BASED TRANS RIGHTS LMAO

Do you know if there ever was any ace or aro artist on Eurovision?
Eurovision Fact #372:
Tumblr media
While there have been no asexual or aromantic Eurovision contestants, there have been many openly gay contestants and contestants who later came out as members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Paul Oscar was the first openly gay Eurovision contestant. He performed for Iceland in 1997. The winner of that year's contest, Katrina and the Waves, also had their lead singer (Katrina Leskanich) come out many years later.
In 1998, Dana International made waves as she became the first trans contestant, and winner of the competition.
Israeli representative in 2002, Sarit Hadad, came out in 2021.
Representative of Bosnia & Herzegovina in 2004 and 2006 Deen has never come out explicitly, but openly posts about life with his boyfriend.
Winner of the 2007 contest, Marija Serifovic, came out as a lesbian in 2013 during the premiere of her film Confession.
Members of the group Blue -- who represented the UK in 2011 -- Duncan James and Lee Ryan have come out as gay and bisexual, respectfully. Ryan also admitted to sleeping with Duncan James often.
Winner of the 2012 contest, Loreen, came out as bisexual in 2017, stating that "love is where you find it."
Ireland's 2013 representative Ryan Dolan came out as gay the year following his Eurovision performance.
Thomas Neuwirth, otherwise known as winner of the 2014 contest Conchita Wurst, is openly gay.
In 2016, the Israeli representative Hovi Star was openly gay, and the Dutch representative, Douwe Bob, was bisexual.
Montenegro's 2017 representative Slavko Kalezić is openly gay.
In 2018, the Finnish representative Saara Alto was a lesbian, and Ukrainian representative Mélovin came out as bisexual in 2021.
In 2019 winner of the contest, Duncan Laurence, came out as bisexual at a Eurovision press conference. Additionally, France's contestant that year, Bilal Hassani, was queer. Moreover, member of the Norwegian band Keiino is openly gay. Finally, Italian contestant Mahmood has spoken out in support of LGBT rights, especially in Egypt, but does not like to label himself in any way.
Many of the contestants in the 2021 contest were members of the LGBT community: members of the Italian band Måneskin (winners of the 2021 contest) Victoria De Angelis and Ethan Torchio are openly bisexual and "sexually free" respectively. Australian representative Montaigne uses they/them pronouns and came out as bisexual. Spanish contestant Blas Cantó is also bisexual. Lesley Roy of Ireland is a lesbian. Vasil Garvanliev (North Macedonia), Jeangu Macrooy (Netherlands), and Jendrik Sigwart (Germany) are gay. Romania's Roxen is nonbinary, and member of the Icelandic group Daði og Gagnamagnið, Hulda, is pansexual.
2022 also saw a large number of LGBT contestants. Member of the Icelandic group Systur Elín is a genderfluid lesbian, and Michael Ben David of Israel and Sheldon Riley of Australia are both gay.
Finally, 2023 will also see many LGBT performers take the stage. Belgium's Gustaph and Serbia's Luke Black are gay, and Norway's Alessandra Mele is bisexual.

Incoherent rambles about Crusher and stuff
I realized that you guys don't actually know much about his backstory and what happened to him post death.
Rambles under the cut (TWs: Mentions of murder, Toxic family, Gun violence):
General info
His real name is Richard Hughes (Only a small handful of people are allowed to still call him that). His nickname Crusher came from his general strength.
His age and birth year would be different depending on the universe (Although that can be said about most of my characters). In my timeline at least, He was born in the 1970s.
His birthplace and childhood home was in New York City (He still has a slight NYC accent).
Childhood
His family had been part of a powerful mafia for many years. His parents were very powerful people within it.
With that said, Crusher was basically robbed of a normal childhood. As soon as he was old enough to properly hold a weapon (At about 10), His parents immediately began training him to his limit.
He first killed someone when he was only 13, His parents practically forcing him to. Due to the trauma of this incident, Crusher refuses to use melee weapons, Since he used a knife to kill said person.
A year after that, Crusher's parents were killed by Toppats. Wilford found him afterwards and after seeing the shit he had to go through at such a young age, He took Crusher into the Toppat Clan.
Toppat Life
A lot of what happens during his time as a Toppat varies depending on the universe. So I'll just say some general stuff.
Crusher discovered he was gay at about 19, Considering he didn't have a lot of time to discover himself back at his old home.
He gravitated towards pistols as his main weapon. He even learned a few tricks while using them (Like twirling them in his hands).
He tended to downplay his own pain, Which Wilford grew more and more concerned about.
He was always welcoming and patient towards new and young Toppats.
He always gave his enemies a fair fight if they deserved it. He always tried to be an honorable opponent.
Although he was a generally calm and fun person to be around, He was the last person you'd wanna piss off. He could be really scary if he needed to be.
Relationships
He admired Wilford a whole lot. He saw him as a father figure of sorts, Although he's a bit too embarrassed to admit that.
His relationship towards Terrence was complicated, And also different depending on the universe. In Shifted Timeline, He's indifferent towards Terry. In Captured!Charles, He despises Terry.
He was extremely close to Right and Slice. He saw the two like little brothers and always tried to help them out in any way he could.
He was also fond of Reginald and Carol too. In the CC universe specifically, He tried to stick up for Reginald as much as possible.
Crusher was also friends with some OCs, Mainly Brutus and Morgana (Who belong to @smoresthehalloweenqueen )
When Crusher first met Danny (Who belongs to @capturecharlesau ), I wouldn't say it was love at first sight, Although he did definitely think Danny was cute. Overtime, Their relationship developed and the two started dating.
Deaths
Crusher actually has two canon deaths.
In Shifted Timeline, He was killed in a raid gone wrong. He was out helping some other Toppats before he got ambushed. He eventually succumbed to his injuries before he could be brought back to the airship.
In Captured!Charles, He was killed during the rebellion against Terrence. Terrence had grabbed Reginald and was about to run off with him, But Crusher stood in his way. Terrence responded by shooting him straight in the chest. He succumbed to his bullet wounds shortly after Reginald killed Terrence. Some Toppats think he died in the crossfire though.
Technically, Both deaths were caused by Terrence. The main difference is whether he was directly involved (And whether he actually meant for him to die or not).
Post Death
No matter what universe, Crusher ends up stuck in the ghost realm (Think where the dead leaders kinda are).
Nobody in the living realm can see, hear, or touch him unless they have the power to see and communicate with ghosts.
He wanders around to keep an eye on the Toppats, Especially Danny.
His tie back to the living realm may slowly be growing stronger...

Melee DPS
Monk
Tumblr media
That definitely was ... an interesting journey! I believe this is one of the most enjoyable jobs to play at lv50. And from lv60 on it already feels quite complete, which I really like. The rotation is crazy (positive), and while there definitely is a clear path for it, I jumble over my own buttons and fail after a time lol, but I must say I really like it.
I get why Monk is one of the poster jobs for Stormblood, it adds lore and context to it and it was so cool to see. Shoutout to the two Monk catgirls ... Rooting for you.
Dragoon
Tumblr media
The second class I ever picked up, back when I was playing ARR, and used it on the side doing MSQ. Unfortunately I haven't really played it ever since I finished EW and only use it solely in PVP now. But I have definitely grown to it, straight forward rotation, I do like this kit, but I can see improvements made - which they will hopefully do, let's see!
It's been quite a while since I did that job quest for it, I do remember being annoyed to venture back and forth for the quest in Stormblood though. However I think a charm point is truly Estinien becoming a main character just like that. I think they should do this more often, having others just randomly appear and stay a while tbh.
Ninja
Tumblr media
A job I enjoyed playing, but I have to say I don't really have ... strong emotions to it I think. I don't want to say it feels bland to me, I don't think it's the right word. Something like "if I had to choose a melee dps it's not what I would be going for". The Mudra are nice. Why do we get the second AOE at lv52 - but anyways! I don't think there is anything wrong with it in a whole. Maybe it's just not my playstyle I don't know hm.
I found the quests quite enjoyable I have to say! Truly unique characters honestly. Very ... Naruto Ninja. Including the gay people. Definitely a questline I enjoyed more than others!
Samurai
Tumblr media
Became a secret favorite not going to lie. I had extremly fun discovering how all of this works, the sheer damage you can do with everything feels so good. Intuitive rotation I have to say, you press funny buttons and it's beautiful. Truly truly enjoyed this one!
The quest ... - not to repeat myself but - is very Samurai and I liked that. From Samurai Masters to people trying to find their purpose among other Samurai. Betrayal. It definitely had me looking forward to the next quest each time.
Reaper
Tumblr media
Surprising no one when I say this became my fave Melee. It was something I picked up right after I finished EW back then, because I wanted to learn a new class and I was hooked. Funny scythe goes swish swoosh. Absolutely adore this kit, lv90 feels awesome (lv70 not so much), and I can't wait to see what they are cooking for it next.
Yeah the quest may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I do like how it ties basically into post-EW somewhat. Definitely like the background lore they created with it, which also leaves much playground to toy with. And because of that I do have to say I enjoyed that one.

We're Fucking That Fish Again: Let's Play Tears of the Kingdom
It's getting hot in here (by which I mean I cleared the Fire Temple and found the Zoras.)
Well, it's happened. I've caved. I'm doing the goddamn Fire Temple. I hope you're happy, big son.
…And now I've DOUBLE caved. I'm wearing fireproof pants instead of my cute puffy pink ones. Don't look below my waist. Avert your eyes from my leggy shame:
Tumblr media
(I will never cave on my fancy hat and bare chest.)
I get the sense that I'm subverting some puzzles in the Fire Temples with my sheer determination to scale every wall and swim up through every ceiling, but it's my prerogative to work harder, not smarter, okay
At this point Yunobo's unshakeable belief that the thing-in-Zelda's-body is in peril and requires rescuing is extremely funny to me. My boy could see her holding up a bank and be like, "Oh no! We have to save Princess Zelda from that gun in her hand!"
Marbled Gohma is giving me a taste of my own carpet-bombing medicine and I DO NOT CARE FOR IT
Oh fuck when I try to load a bomb arrow it IMMEDIATELY blows up in my face
This boss is a trap set for me, specifically
UGH I had to beat it by WHACKING it with a MELEE weapon like an ANIMAL
Damn, ancestor Goron has a cool mask, too! Like a big ol' toothy fish. I really hope this ends with my ass getting Majora'd. Or a big Good Masks vs. Evil Masks showdown where I get to be a jumbo-sized Fierce Deity. Fly me to the moon, please and thank you
Zelda continues to be the busiest and least temporally deferential time traveler since Lucca Ashtear
I got a fist bump and a gay little thumb ring, which is great, but the latest magatama is on Yunobo's belt instead of in my mouth, and that continues to be bullshit
I'm sorry, this quest is about me convincing people NOT to do their job in their underpants? No one has ever been more poorly suited to a task.
Tumblr media
Every time I see Link's natural hair I am briefly disoriented
Tumblr media
CAN'T RELATE:
Tumblr media
My post-temple wanderings have brought me to the first Zora I've seen all game! I threw some wet fruit at him and learned how to clean up sludge. I'm gonna Captain Planet my way through that shit from now on
EXCUSE ME WHAT AM I LOOKING AT
Tumblr media
DID YOU LITERALLY BUILD A STATUE OF LINK RIDING SIDON AND TUGGING ON THE EQUIVALENT OF HIS HAIR
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Holy shit holy shit and the Zora showing it off to me is his fiancée???
Tumblr media
Am I being invited to a very wet threeway
Tumblr media
Link just spurted all over a statue of himself barebacking her betrothed and she's like, oh, you should go talk to him and then come find me, wink! What is happening
Lol I just found Sidon and apparently the dynamic at play here is more Yona attempting to drum up interest from Sidon by inviting Link into their sex life. I am scarcely exaggerating when I paraphrase Sidon's dialogue as, "Greetings, my beloved friend! My most cherished bosom companion! I have longed after you and rejoice in gazing upon you at last! …Oh, my fiancée? Yes, I suppose I am to be wed. Nice girl, we grew up together, drifted apart, you know how it goes. Anyway, is there literally anything I can do for you, light of my life?"
I am NOT KIDDING:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bless the devs who chose to carry on Link's fine fish-fucking tradition, they are the horny heroes we need
I have a hit a wall of untranslatable slab so I am zipping off elsewhere
Let the record show that just as I will fall for every assassin disguised as a researcher underground, so will I pick up a suspicious bunch of bananas in a field where bananas can't grow and be shocked when they are an assassin's trap

The inevitable rant about why I think Ahsoka shouldn’t be queer
Disclaimer: On the fandom side of things, I really don’t have a horse in this fight. I’m here for the Gen Disaster Lineage Content. People can ship her however they want; I probably won’t even see it 
Second disclaimer I’m not taking the EU into account here
But in the canon sense I have Strong Opinions that Ahsoka shouldn’t be queer.
The short reason: It might have hit different in 2008 or even 2013, but in the Year of Our Lord 2022, I would only read making Ahsoka canonically gay as an attempt to score political points.
The slightly longer reason: Ahsoka occupies a somewhat unique narrative space in Star Wars. Specifically, she has a lot of traits and abilities usually considered masculine. We’re already running kinda low on female lead characters, and Ahsoka was the first (and other than Rey, the only) to fight in close-quarter melee combat. That hits differently, visually, than shooting at someone from a distance, and the people she’s fighting are often men and always have some advantage or power she doesn’t. She doesn’t have typical Girl Power strengths; she’s not especially smart or especially cunning, and she doesn’t use her looks. She wins fights because she’s fast as hell. And the relationships that define her and her arc are all platonic sorry Lux. All of this adds up to someone who occupies a very masculine character space, and I think it’s easy to look at that and go, “oh, she’s ‘one of the guys,’ she probably likes women too,” and I think that’s exactly why she should be canonically straight. Because gender expression and sexuality are not the same thing, and neither of them are necessarily related to your personality or job. I have a similar take on Kathryn Janeway but that’s neither here nor there
All that being said I’ve been combing AO3 tags lately for something very silly coming soon to a tumblr post near you and goshdangit, the F/F ships are just more interesting than the F/M. These men are white toast tell me more about the Imperial archeologist and Thrawn’s second-in-command and the nameless masked woman from SW Visions and the governor of Lothal and Ventress’ pirate bff and

So I've got the itch to write but I don't feel like writing narrative stuff, so I'd thought I should finally share my Tarnished OCs here for whoever wants to see them!
Haradir of Kaiden / Haradir, the Last King of Caria
Tumblr media
Haradir is my first Elden Ring character, and so far, the only one I've beaten the story on. He's generally built as a mixed strength-intelligence build, favoring Loretta's halberd and frost sorceries.
As for his backstory, Haradir's mother was a runaway student from the Academy of Raya Lucaria, while his father was a Kaiden sellsword who also ran away from his post. Thus, Haradir was raised outside of the Lands Between, practicing both his mother's sorcery and his father's melee skills, and was already quite formidable when he was first called by Grace to mend the Elden Ring.
Tumblr media
Overall, Haradir is gruff and withdrawn, and brushes of appeals to sentimentality or threats. Still, he's very dedicated to doing what's right for as many people he comes by, though he understands when dirty work needs to get done. It was this attitude that led him to helping Ranni bring about the Age of the Stars, even if he still views warily (and too gay to see the marriage as romantic, lmao).
Flame Nun Lumina
Tumblr media
Lumina was my faith build save, and I think I started her around the time I got stuck in Farum Azula on my main save. I originally wanted to go all-in on blackflame incantations when I started this character, but then I discovered how crazy good the Blasphemer's Blade is and can no longer be separated from it.
Anyway! Lumina was originally a simple young noblewoman from Leyndell, and was known for her study of incantations and the Golden Order. Everything changed for her, however, when she was accused of studying forbidden history regarding the Gloam-Eyed Queen and was dishonorably banished to outside the Lands Between. A furious Lumina became increasingly determined to get revenge of the order that had wronged her and saw her call of grace as the perfect opportunity to carry out her plans.
Tumblr media
Lumina presents the facade of being a kindly young maiden when in the presence of other tarnished or respectable figures, but very much hides a cutthroat interior. Once she sets her sights on a goal, she will do whatever it takes to make sure it's done. Though she does hate the Golden Order and its servants, she tries to prevent collateral damage out of pragmaticism. Thus, she's going for the Age of the Duskborn instead of the Frenzied Flame.

3lsmp characters based on how much i think i could fight them and win
Scott Smajor: depends on the state of jimmy at the time, but he's a pretty strong fighter and also the creator of the semi-canonical mcc which makes him scary. he would do a lot of psychological damage to me with words as well and I'm not emotionally prepared for a gay scotsman to make me question my validity and worth. 3/10 I could get a few lucky shots in
Skizzle: the source of 90% of the fandom's canonical bloodlust content. this man has no sleeves. I would die. 0/10
Scar: I saw how this man fought against martyn in session 5. his melee aim is abysmal but we can't ignore the shot against etho in session 6. also he's just sweet and never deserved the deaths. 6/10 but i would feel really bad
Grian: largely dependent on how much prep time he was given, his traps would fail but by a series of extremely unfortunate events I would probably die due to a fluke. also green life status means that he has life to burn and probably no qualms about melee combat. since mcc is semi-canon thanks to ren he's also legally grian dreamslayer. 1/10
Joel Smallishbeans: recent ventures in arson and lying have made me afraid of this man. prior to session 6 I thought I had a pretty good chance and I don't think he could melee that well. 5/10
Ren: authority and monarchism aside, even if he didn't have the R.A to back him up he's still a good shot and also might not be too shabby in hand-to-hand if it's a one on one. 3/10
Jimmy Solidarity: I'm sorry jimmy. without proper motivation this man is aptly described as a kicked puppy. 9/10 if I didn't feel emotions
Etho: you know that post about people travelling in packs once etho goes red? yeah. this man builds his castle out of wool and then surrounds it with lava. this man runs into enemy territory to test a redstone contraption without any prior forethought, while the enemy is still there. this man knows whats up on a more meta level than actual tumblr users metaposting. 0/10
Tango: sly motherfucker. other than that his combat skills are mostly unknown to me but I'm not taking my chances. 4/10
Martyn: Terrifying. Awful. I want to Run In The Opposite Direction. Grian may have the highest killcount but Martyn's inherited the bloodlust of the red army and explicitly uses his green status to push and pressure other people. Red lifers (!!!) had to rein him in. I want to be wherever this man is not. -10/10
Impulse: Even if he wasn't that good at fighting his armoury is intimidating. also his green life status means he can be more reckless and therefore less willing to back down in a battle of wills. 6/10 but it could vary
Bdubs: Did you SEE how this man acted at the end of his session 5 episode? Terrifying. Horrible. You all heard what I heard. 0/10
BigB: It would probably be an even 50/50 chance but the thing is this man is just chilling. He just wants his cookies. Realistically more of a 3/10 chance because neither of us would want to do it.
Cleo: zombies scare me and also she's been carrying around an active rocket launcher for the past few sessions like it's nothing. no thank you ma'am !!! 0/10

The Naruto/Frozen Crossover
So I was planning on just doing an image ID thing for this post, but apparently the formatting on desktop is such a mess that it’s easier to just make a new post that’s text only. I can also like. Bulletpoint it so that it can be a little neater. All ideas were made with @firebirdeternal​‘s help, because they are the most efficient enabler I have.
Also I added some bits at the end.
Under a cut, because it’s Long As Heck.
I originally had two options: either Mid-teens Elsa and Anna being transported to ninja land sometime pre-canon and running into Haku and Zabuza... or just like. Born as a Daimyou's daughters.
Spoiler alert, we’ve got nukenin and I’m a sucker for an intrusive crossover, so transported to ninja land it is.
Suggestion from Birdie:
Mechanism for crossover: Elsa ices over a Wishing Well by accident after having Wished for someone else who understood her, Anna and her fall in and get Ice Mirror Portaled to Ninjaland, falling out of an iced over pond near a shrine that Haku recently prayed at for similar lonely child reasons?
Which I like! They don’t end up there soon enough to run into Haku, because I want a dramatic chase first, but I like it.
Obviously, Anna is forced to learn about Elsa's powers because it's the only thing keeping them safe
Or at least alive
(Elsa will do ANYTHING to keep Anna safe, and if that means she has to get her hands dirty...)
...neither of them knows Japanese, so, you know. There’s that.
I'm thinking that they end up in/near Kiri at first
And they aren't FAST ENOUGH to get away so Elsa panic-enchants a giant reindeer made of snow to run away across the suddenly-frozen ocean.
She and Anna have to ride and Elsa is probably crying the whole time.
Oh shit this is like. RIGHT after their parents die, I forgot. So that’s a thing! They are in mourning and all that fun stuff.
Point is, they use the powers for a Self Defense thing and BBY Haku is just !!! "Master can we rescue them for Ice Cousin reasons?" Zabuza: Yes, and only for those practical reasons and not because I collect endangered children like people collect pokemon cards.
I imagine that maybe they track rumors of a Yuki-onna down, or the Giant Snow Reindeer rides by and Haku’s just like Wat
The girls just tag along with Zabuza because. Like.
Do they like him? No. Do they trust him? No. Do they enjoy the fact that he considers them pathetic civilians? No.
However, Haku is Baby.
Zabuza is REALLY annoyed at them being Useless Civilian Royals “but Haku likes them so I guess they can stay.”
Age at meeting, three years pre-canon:
Zabuza - 23
Elsa - 18
Anna - 15
Haku - 12
Elsa is 90% anxiety/depression master combo BUT if Zabzua protects her then she's WILDLY dangerous so like. Whatever
Elsa's bingo book nickname options, uninspired:
Winter Witch
Winter Queen
Ice Queen
Snow Queen
Something about a Yuki-Onna maybe
She's Very Stately and kinda breakable but Winter is her Bitch
I mean like, the fact that, if protected, she can shut down the agriculture of a fucking country? That's an S-rank even if she's not that useful in a fight.
She's like. Jinchuuriki-level destruction. Generally speaking she wouldn’t. But she could.
Elsa: What the fuck is a chakra? Elsa: my snow monsters are self-sustaining. Elsa: I'm gonna build us a house.
Zabuza has NO idea how her powers work and it is INCREDIBLY frustrating but “there’s no chakra cost to keep these things going and we have shelters on demand” is too convenient to question after a while.
Haku: Delicate, deadly, incredibly fast ninja work. Elsa: I can't dodge a kunai but watch me wreck your entire country's ecosystem in under a day.
Elsa is a siege weapon.
Meanwhile, Anna is really, really into the physicality of ninja practice.
She's clumsy and she's not very good at ninja stuff, but she sure is determined!
Anna also gets on Zabuza's nerves because she keeps insisting that Haku get to be a kid.
Anna: Let's make flower crowns! Zabuza: No, he needs to train, not- Anna: FLOWER CROWNS
Consider: Haku saying Elsa-nee-sama and Anna-hime.
Or just calling Elsa “onee-sama.”
Anna is also younger than Elsa and way more Fun so she probably gets adjusted to Anna-chan or Nee-chan.
If Zabuza calls Elsa “Hime-chan” or “Elsa-hime” or, Sage forbid, “Elsa-sama/dono” then he’s VERY MUCH making fun of her and he’s probably getting his soup frozen that night.
At one point, Elsa... tries to like. Convince herself to have a crush on Zabuza or Kakashi or something until Zabuza just puts a hand on her shoulder and asks "do you even like men?" "...that's an OPTION?"
Zabuza urging her to try and ask out a Cute Kunoichi and Elsa's like.... I can't decide if she's bright red and a useless lesbian or uncomfortable and ace.
I am SO invested in the siege weapon thing.
SHE IS THE SQUISHIEST WIZARD.
It's not her fault that every single other combatant on the continent is Massively Dangerous in melee! She took a very traditional back-line build!
Enemy: Doesn't it GRATE to protect someone so pathetic, Zabuza? Zabuza: She literally froze an entire castle of enemies to death because they harmed her sister, so. No.
Most Ninjas: Sharp Knife. S-Rank Mega Ninjas: Gun. Elsa: High Yield Explosive Rocket Launcher. Literally loses fights to the Knife People, because she can't bring her power to bear on that scale. But if you can give her Time and Prep? No contest.
Long distance AoE
Like  you know how Nagato is literally dying of starvation due to illness and can't walk, but he's also capable of leveling powerful villages more or less on his own?
Elsa is the same Vibe.
It’s like sealing a bijuu in a civilian.
She's honestly both more and less powerful? Like it'd be hard for her to kill everyone in Konoha in the snap of a finger? But also, she could starve out the Country of Fire in a summer.
She WOULDN'T, but she could.
I always read Elsa as gay or ace but my brain keeps trying to ship her with dude ninjas and I have to yank it back on a child leash.
People insinuate that Zabuza is interested in Elsa and he's just "What? Ew she's like five."
"I'm eighteen."
"Five."
BUT
Elsa! Might mistake trust and companionship for a crush!
I can see THAT happening despite gay/ace.
Also like. I don’t think Zabuza is straight.
So mlm/wlw solidarity?
And Haku is probs genderqueer.
So Anna is THE TOKEN STRAIGHT.
Anna is like, the Straight Friend who will go to the mat for her queer friends. Like vicious. In-your-face barking like a mean dog at people who were being bigots.
You know how Elsa in the second movie uses her powers to make toys for kids out of ice?
Okay, so her practicing by making things with Haku.
But yeah, Elsa can't really do "throws ice senbon," but she can do Delicate Geometry Things since she apparently, canonically studies math for fun and loves fractals.
Haku: I can trap you in a prison of ice mirrors, and you are at my mercy. Elsa: LOOK AT THIS CASTLE I MADE???
Haku wants to do Pretty Things like Elsa
OH.
Elsa makes... snow bunnies..
For the ninja distraction reasons but also because it's a Soft Thing that makes her feel better about, uh, everything. And Haku likes bunnies.
Zabuza still takes The Dirty Missions but Elsa gets upset when he does something that hurts innocents and Nobody wants Elsa upset. Even Zabuza doesn't want Elsa upset.
When Elsa gets upset, overnight accommodations are suddenly Very Uncomfortable for everyone except her and Haku.
And then Anna gets upset, which makes Elsa even MORE upset.
And then things just keep getting colder.
Zabuza doesn't want Elsa upset for many reasons, not limited to: "Is actually capable of killing me from outside of Sword Range if she's mad enough, even if it’s not that easy" and "the Small Children would be unbearably sad if she died and honestly so might I."
She's more of a friend than a ward and he's not entirely sure he's okay with that.
Zabuza: "Ew, friendship."
He has absolutely no idea how to have a social interaction with people he isn't Bullying, Raising, or Threatening to Kill.
Elsa and Anna have no trouble convincing people they're related, at least. Different coloration with almost identical bone structure.
A tendency to burst into song when they feel emotions.
Identical weird accent that nobody can place.
FOOD
The girls are royalty, they don't know how to COOK.
But they also want food from HOME.
It's a lot of trial and error.
More error than not, since they have both no knowledge and also a language barrier to overcome. It probably takes YEARS before they can describe things like Unfamiliar Flavors well enough for people to say "OH that sounds like spearmint."
When they run into something they know that’s familiar, it’s life-changing.
Chocolate is more common in the elemental nations than in Arandelle and Anna may or may not cry about it.
Anna is loudly bossy, even at Zabuza.
Zabuza is gruffly commanding, to everyone.
Elsa doesn't actually like being in charge, but when she talks, people LISTEN.
(Haku is just happy to be here.)
Elsa radiates two things: Anxiety, and Natural Command, and she basically just fluctuates between those.
"I don't want to be in charge but also I'm vetoing this."
So, obviously, the main reasons that Zabuza keeps the girls around is that Elsa is a living siege weapon and he thinks she could be convinced to help him run a revolution in Kiri, and also that the Ice Queen schtick is like. Really good for Haku and Zabuza can’t really say no to the kid.
HOWEVER, Anna is clumsy and messy and all that, so Zabuza starts training her in Ninja stuff. Elsa joins in on the “I need to know how to Run Fast to get away from fights I don’t want to have in the first place,” but Anna’s the one that’s like “TEACH ME HOW TO SWORD.”
It’s honestly not that hard to teach her, she’s just really, really, REALLY enthusiastic.
Once or twice someone asks why she’s so bad at this yet running around with an A-rank nukenin and Zabuza’s just like “I’ve only had her for a year and a half, shut up!” because it’s not that he’s a bad teacher, it’s that she was a very pampered civilian until like a week before he met her.
He should get a MEDAL for even getting her to low Chuunin.
Zabuza: I'm taking a job from Gato Elsa, who has Training in economics and politics and bureaucracy: I have a better idea.
This is actually not entirely what I’d do but I wanted to make the joke first ANYWAY here’s an actual plot or something.
Oh, also by this point everyone is Canon Ages so Elsa’s 21 and Anna’s 18 and Zabuza’s 26 and Haku’s 15.
Elsa is getting paid to keep the water from interfering with construction, by way of....
ICE COFFERDAM
Elsa with Haku as her Guard while Zabuza is off running his own mission? Which Anna begged to go on because Cool.
Elsa also kind of keeps her involvement on the ice front semi-secret by claiming she’s there as an engineering consultant.
LISTEN canon made her like geometry, I can ENTIRELY believe she’d be excited about the bridge-building.
Gato has hired someone else on the danger level of Zabuza, who is Threatening to Team 7 + Haku? But then when things look bleak Anna and Zabuza arrive and then Scary Sword Man is on our side and oh dear that's a lot of blood.
Which, you know, fun!
Birdie suggested Raiga which I’m not feeling but I do feel the need to bring up as an option.
It’s also not Kisame BUT
Kisame: [giant lake dome filled with sharks]
Elsa: uhhhhhhhhhhh...
Giant lake dome: [is now a giant ice dome]
Anyway
Gato: I'm hiring an army. Elsa: [giant ice wall around his compound] Gato: ... these guys can walk up walls! Elsa: [adds snowman guards] Elsa: ... Elsa: [adds a ceiling]
Just puts Gato's entire mob in a fucking snow globe.
Zabuza shows up twenty minutes late with (Throwing) Star(buck)s just like "Oh, they dead? No? Want 'em to be? Okay cool I'm gonna go pick up Haku, I'll be back in like an hour."
Anna would... LOVE Naruto
ENERGETIC FRIENDLY GOOFBALL
"I found us a baby brother!" "No, we already have Haku." "BUT LOOK AT HIM."
Anna is only a year or two older than Itachi.
OH RIGHT
I wanted to make a joke about how Naruto also vibes with her because he's less judgmental that she can't really... talk properly.
Sasuke is Judgy and Kakashi is Paranoid and Sakura is Uncomfortable.
Meanwhile Naruto is just like "And I Shall Scream."
Anna, who learned Japanese from Zabuza (rude) and Haku (uber polite): WELL FUCK YOU, GOOD SIR Naruto: YEAH WELL FUCK YOU TOO, LADY Elsa, overly formal: I am... so very sorry.
Anyway, generic missing nin fights and all that.
Elsa gets injured in the process and after a variety of arguments, Naruto manages to convince them to take her to Konoha for medical attention.
Elsa is... usually the one getting injured.
Zabuza and Haku are FAST and Anna is at least learning (even if she’s only been doing it for three years), but Elsa is The Squishy Wizard.
If someone throws a kunai... she can’t... really dodge...
So yeah, gut wound.
Normally they find a nukenin medic to patch them up but Konoha is reasonably close and has some of the more skilled medics on the continent and they DID technically help the Konoha nin so like. Gah.
That’s Zabuza’s final thought. Gah.
Just “Fuck it, let’s save the ice queen.”
Elsa ends up in a half-literal-ice stasis state on the way there and it’s happened before (it is not the first time she’s been stabbed), but it’s always terrifying.
Especially to the Konoha genin who are just like WHAT THE HECK IS THAT.
So they get to Konoha, there’s a whole bunch of stuff about extradition treaties and “you are bringing a literal WMD of a woman into our town” and “we can’t just let MOMOCHI ZABUZA in.”
Anyway, it ends up being that Zabuza has to wait outside the village while Elsa is treated inside, and one of the Teenagers goes in. Obviously, it’s Anna, because Zabuza is INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE with letting Haku enter a village that’s known for having lots of bloodlines, and anyway, Anna’s the sister.
Bunch of stuff, she’s healing, etc, and then one day Anna comes in and is told “your sister had a bad reaction to the anesthetic, we couldn’t save her, I’m sorry, she’s gone.”
She flips out, gets shown the corpse, flips out MORE, gets escorted out to the village walls where Zabuza and Haku are waiting.
Horrified reactions
Zabuza doesn’t want to admit that it’s EMOTIONS because this is his FRIEND, he is clearly just upset about losing the living siege weapon.
Haku is just super confused and goes “But she’s not dead.”
“What.”
“She’s not dead, I can feel her, I can always feel her, it’s like sensing but just her, because we’re both ice. She’s alive, somewhere over... there?”
And points right in the direction of the Hokage Mountain, which for the purposes of this fic and also Drama is where ROOT headquarters is.
YEP we absolutely have that plot point.
Is Danzo overused as a plot device? Probably. Am I going to diabolus ex machina him anyway? Ye.
They kick up enough of a fuss that the Hokage gets called down.
He wouldn’t, normally, he’d leave it to a couple of skilled jounin and call it a day, except Naruto got involved so like. You can’t. Ignore that.
There’s lots of shouting.
Just like. A lot.
And then part of the mountain explodes!
AS ONE DOES
Elsa comes flying backwards out of the hole, catches herself on a spontaneous ice slide, gets to her feet.
Girl is swaying like MAD.
There are absolutely ANBU (both fake and real) coming after her.
At least one of them gets speared through by an ice spike.
Anna runs up to her, tries to hug her, gets batted away.
Elsa’s staring at her in sheer TERROR and starts muttering something about how Anna died years ago, this isn’t real, etc.
Nobody except Anna understands most of it, but Haku picks up enough to translate when Anna’s freaking out.
Elsa starts doing her Ice Castle thing in the middle of Konoha as a coping mechanism, mostly so she can get Up and Away and Shielded By Ice.
This is not a good look.
Especially because she’s singing, which Zabuza always thinks is a bad omen because it means shit is getting real and one or both of the girls are about to get a powerup or be beaten even harder than otherwise. When they start singing, things get More Dramatic And Extreme).
(Zabuza does not like Disney Musical Rules)
Danzo shows up.
There’s a bunch of arguing.
All the medics insist that nothing she was given at the hospital should have caused amnesia, psychosis, hallucinations, delusions, etc.
It’s. Not hard for Hiruzen to guess what happened.
Namely that Danzo, upon finding out that chakra dampeners didn’t do shit since none of Elsa’s powers come from chakra, decided to keep her drugged up and start using genjutsu to make her more malleable.
Because like. An injured WMD just showed up in your village. What are you supposed to do, not try to kidnap her and turn her to your side? Like, come on. What was he supposed to do?
Not that, Danzo. Literally Not That.
IDK how it gets resolved, probably Anna getting to her with the power of love, because Elsa is ultimately Super Disney.
I also don’t really know where to go from there other than “Maybe Jiraiya can get you home, but also I’m pretty sure Zabuza wants you all to get the hell out of here and take over Kiri” but who knows.
Also
IMAGINE ELSA MEETING GAI.
Imagine Ino getting a puppy crush on Elsa.
IDK that’s it for now.
