Post-BoTW Zelda/Link rebuilding their lives + “In Our Bedroom After The War”
This is a song I frequently associate with Link after the events of BoTW, but it’s fitting for him and Zelda. Just putting up some thoughts of how I think they’d be post-BoTW.
I think the two of them would struggle to find this peace solely because of how much they’ve faced. Zelda was alone (Albeit with Calamity Ganon) in the castle for a full century, and Link was alone practically the entire time during BoTW’s events while he was regaining memories of his former self and working to basically save Everyone.
It would be hard to feel at ease as well. They’d probably be on edge after it all. I think Zelda especially would struggle to adjust. Link had some time to adjust to their new world by the time he’s ready to rescue her and defeat the Calamity. Things are different, but he’s had some time (it helps that he didn’t initially have full memory of what things were like before the Calamity).
Zelda would probably struggle a little more. Now that she’s free and she’s home again, everything is different. She probably knew that all that time had passed while she was in the Castle, but now that she is out she actually has to face it. She has to begin coming to terms with all the loss— and just how different everything is, and even how different Link is.
This one. God.
There’s only one bed in the Hateno house but also I don’t think Link would probably have offered it to her primarily. That being said— I like to think that Zelda and Link would find comfort in sleeping next to one another at times. It would help with the possible nightmares.
Still, so early on they would probably be a little nervous about it or unsure of themselves.
We know Link was really young when he first got the Master Sword and even when he became a Knight. He lost a lot of his innocence pretty early on. Zelda was also very young even with all the responsibility she had.
They lost a lot of their childhood, but they also lost everything. They lost their families, their friends, and their old lives due to the Calamity.
In the end though, they didn’t lose one another. Not for good. They even have new friends now to count on.
It would probably take them a good while to really start recovering from the physical and mental effects of the Calamity and Calamity Ganon. They would move at their own pace, though. Not a single soul could judge them for how they were choosing to rebuild themselves after having lost so much.
They would find comfort in eachother and they’d eventually find some peace.

🖋🎴Working on Hanafuda Part 3 every day in January
Day 4!
“Why did Jigen stop working with you?” Goemon asked, knowing full well the answer.
“I cannot fathom,” Lupin replied. “Why did you stop working with me?”
Goemon paused for barely a second. Lupin didn’t notice.
“You know why,” the samurai replied.
“Well, you could have left the yakuza and stayed with me.”
Goemon stared at the back of Lupin’s head.
“I cannot half-turn away from crime,” he lied.
“Yet you’re here now.”
“I am not helping steal these flowers.”
The thief snickered, and Goemon glared harder.
Besides, Lupin was wrong. He wasn’t all here now. His sword was still in the backroom.

...and this is even with the burst of happy energy I got with the news of more fanart before I left. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had it. Die, probably.
Anyway, flu season is kicking off with quite a bang this year, I think. So many people getting sick. We were behind when I clocked in, and we were behind when I left. Granted, we were a bit short-staffed today since someone called off (because we are not immune to getting sick either), but it's mostly that there really are just...a lot of people who are coming down with stuff.
Take care of yourselves out there, everyone. And avoid school-aged kids, haha. They're the main culprits for the spread.

Last updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. Wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except eSIMs, PCRF, MAP are by Palestinians. Donating to international orgs is not ideal rn as aid is still being stopped at the border. Please focus on Palestinian-run initiatives on the ground in Gaza.
Remember, small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!

it's so fucking frustrating to be in college and know everyone uses chatgpt and to be tempted by it constantly while also knowing intellectually that it doesn't work and it's a bad idea. like, i hang out in the library a lot, and i see people using chatgpt on assignments almost every day. and i know it isn't a good way to learn, because it's not really "artificial intelligence" so much as it is an auto text generator. and it gives you wrong information or badly worded sentences all the time. but every week i stare down assignments i don't want to do and i think man. if only i could type this prompt into a text generator and have it done in 10 minutes flat. and i know it wouldn't work. it wouldn't synthesize information from the text the way professors want, it wouldn't know how to answer questions, it just spits out vaguely related words for a couple paragraphs. but knowing my classmates get their work done in 10 minutes flat with it while i fight every ounce of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in my body is infuriating.
