if you devalue dressmaking and other clothing-related trades in your historical narrative, you have to reread The Female Economy by Wendy Gamber and leave flowers on Elizabeth Keckley's grave

I don't make the rules

(this post brought to you by: too many damn websites saying that Jeanne Villepreux-Power started as a Mere Dressmaker and rose to become a Great And Mighty Marine Biologist. when she designed and fitted and may have hand-sewn a princess' wedding dress at the age of 22. like. that sounds like she was already pretty successful, knowledgeable, and talented to me- but I guess because it wasn't in a field that usually-male arbiters of history have decided was valuable, it doesn't count or something?)

[tinyevilgremlin]

there's just something about how, through wang qing's voice, cheng xiaoshi breathes life into his own feelings,

"just due to some difference, i've been judged, ignored, and bullied by everyone around me."

the bullying wang qing faced may have been for a different reason, but it's bullying nonetheless, it's these teenagers harming and holding power over another "just due to some difference", it's what happened to a young cheng xiaoshi after his parents left him, it's what continues to happen to so many children and teenagers all because they're perceived as "different", and others deem this difference as "wrong", as enough of a reason to justify their cruel behaviour.

these lines are universal in that sense, anyone who's been on the receiving end of such ostracization, of such hurt and humiliation, would relate to it, and this is why it's just so, so cathartic when he has this outburst — lc lays emphasis not only on his heartbreak at being abandoned, but also everything else he has had to endure because of said abandonment.

[eye-may]

Do you have any Munkustrap headcanons mayhaps? The people would love to hear it if you do <3

I was waiting for someone to ask about Munkustrap!!! granted I would have yammered about him unprompted eventually anyway but YAY!

pls accept this speedy doodle of Munk having, what I imagine is one of very many, serious conversations (tm) with with his protegee Alonzo <3

"alonzo I told you the kittens could not watch terrifier 3. I say the things I say for a reason. now neither of us will be able to sleep for a week."

all kidding aside, yesss I have a LOT of thoughts about Munkustrap and how he and his story drive a lot of things that happen in my fanverse lol. I'll keep it relatively brief for now because if I don't moderate myself I'll end up writing 100k words worth of incomprehensible diatribe. somewhat abridged yammering beneath the cut!

edit: this mostly ended up being formatted in extensive elucidations on his relationships with other cats, with references to his backstory through that...which I hope isn't baffling lmao hopefully yall can make sense of it

✨Personality

My Munkustrap is pretty heavily based off of 98's Gruberstrap. That is to say, he's a very "warm" version of the character, a softer and more patient leader compared to some other interpretations where he errs on the side of strict and stringent.

Munk has a pretty troubled background (not unlike Tugger and Alonzo), but I place his symbolic age at around 30-35 so that he's still young and has things to learn and growing to do, but still old enough to have already matured and wizened up past a matrix of self-destructive idiosyncrasies he has dealt with in the past. He may not fully realize it, but he wasn't entirely dissimilar to Tugger in his adolescent days (at least, insofar as feeling governed by his emotions). The temporal distance from his early youth has enabled him to mellow out, think more clearly, and capitalize on his better attributes such as decisiveness, a good grasp on strategizing, and being empathetic and caring.

He is, of course, known to be a straight arrow...that is to say, very about rules and order, following traditions, establishing a hierarchy, having respect for authority and elders, etc. However, he is not immune to lightheartedness and joking around. He's a good, gentle playmate with the kittens on occasion. He lives for directing plays (although subversively he might take them a little too seriously sometimes lmao). He definitely lets a Dad Joke slip out every once in a while. He can read and write, and is pretty erudite about a handful of subjects that extend beyond life in the Junkyard. He's a pretty well-rounded chap!

He's not particularly spiritual or mystical, but has always been fascinated by the mysticism inherent in felinity, and has a unique connection to the concept of magic due to his connection with Old Deuteronomy. He's more naturally attuned to felinity in every corporeal sense, and has strong and thoroughly-developed opinions about the meaningfulness of Jelliclehood along with its history and customs.

He's gentlemanly and intelligent, courageous and dignified, so a pretty archetypal 'leader/hero' character. his faults are brought out by adversity with which he is not familiar...as someone who prefers adhering to precedent and keeping everything in order, he feels very challenged by untrodden territory. While he's good at thinking on his feet, he's also prone to overthinking after the action, and letting that repressed sentimental side from yesteryears cloud his approach. When he's feeling menaced by uncertainty, you'll see those cognitions buoy to the surface...overprotectiveness, stubbornness (sometimes he's bad at listening to suggestions!), over-intensity, and over-worry that he tries his darndest to conceal. He may periodically fall into lapses of "work-life imbalance," for turn of phrase (feels weird because we're talking about mystical dancing singing cats but you get it).

Perhaps his biggest fault is difficulty ceding control. There is no bigger control freak in the Junkyard, even though many would probably assume that the title goes to Jenny. Jenny is more ostentatious in her form of leadership, yes, but Munkustrap is far more immoderate when it comes to judging what he can feasibly handle. Bearing the weight of the world on your shoulders, after all, does not a healthy habitude make. Munkustrap's elders...namely Jennanydots and Old Deutoronomy...occasionally remind him of that.

He also perpetually Tired (but doesn't show it!) and, despite maintaining his veneer of cool-headedness, does in fact Have Anxiety lol.

🫂 Notes on Relationships

Tugger - They are half-brothers, and symbolically, there's about 10-15 years between them. So the age gap is significant, but Munkustrap isn't exactly old enough to be his father (try as he might to parent him in the frequent absence of Old Deutoronomy). Truly the Annoying Younger Brother Ever, Tugger gets on his nerves faster and more effectively than just about anybody in his life. Granted, their pasts respective of each other aren't the most conducive towards a harmonious, peaceful relationship, but the same circumstances are what make their bond so close and significant. If it weren't for Munkustrap extending the olive branch to a very misled young Tugger, the latter would have never been able to severe himself from Macavity. Meanwhile, Tugger's effects on Munkustrap are less literal and obvious but just as significant. He acts as a looser, more optimistically nihilistic buffer to Munk's razor-sharp edges, and frequently functions as a catalyst for Munkustrap to unearth a bevy of feelings and emotions he's long been in the habit of smothering. They frequently bicker and frustrate each other, yes, but they know how to work with one another when it counts, and they love each other very much.

-

Old Deuteronomy - Munk is one of a few examples of a child of Deuteronomy who was raised primarily by the latter; among cats, it's frankly more common for those born into colonies to have been "raised by the village." Munkustrap has always been very close to his father, has bottomless admiration for him, and abides by his platitudes unquestioningly. Deuteronomy recognized a unique fervor and emotional vulnerability in a young Munkustrap and allowed the latter to attach himself inextricably to him. it's because of this connection, and Munkustrap's unconditional adulation of his father, that Tugger has traduced him as being a rather ideal "little soldier."

After a huge fallout with Macavity (whole thing it's a WHOLE THING), Old Deuteronomy took Munkustrap and his other followers (including Skimble, Jenny, Jelly, Gus, and Asparagus) and splintered away from the colony, going onto to establish the Jellicle colony that inhabits the Junkyard, as seen in the actual musical. For a while, the group focused on rebuilding and recuperating, and succeeded harmoniously. but, after a while when the reconstructed colony was comfortably settled, Deuteronomy became more of an itinerant than Munkustrap had ever known him to be, coming and going patternlessly. Munkustrap knows that he can always attempt to reach out to Old Deutoronomy (there's a postal system cats use...again...whole other thing) in times of need (i.e., when Munkustrap learned about Tugger being in Macavity's possession) but at that point, Munkustrap became established as the de facto Secondary Leader and had to establish himself as capable and independent. He never outwardly questions what Deutoronomy is up to when he's away on his long sojourns to Who Knows Where...but he's never one to question his father. (Tugger, on the other hand...)

Macavity - Macavity is symbolically around five-ish years older than Munkustrap. Closer in age than Tugger and Munk, but the gap is still significant. Munkustrap was born into the same colony as Macavity, and the two did share a portion of their respective childhoods together; Munkustrap being, of course, rather worshipful of Macavity as a kitten. Macavity, for his part, engaged with Munkustrap, and the latter retains fond memories of their interactions...but he also remembers how, with the clarity of hindsight, Macavity seemed to "troubled" back then. He was a bit moody, but that's not wholly unusual for an adolescent cat! More uniquely, he seemed oddly attune to the Jellicle Moon...an evidently Mystical characteristic. He often sought solitude and was reclusive, cagey, secretive, and was obsessed with his developing his mysticism and harvesting magic of Deuteronomy's ilk.

Ultimately, Macavity attempted to persuade Munkustrap to join him in a staged rebellion against Old Deuteronomy; but, even at such a tender age, Munk knew better than to be cajoled, and ultimately sided with his father. He tried in earnest to talk Macavity out of his pursuit of power, but of course...it was fruitless. And the ramifications were abominable. Ultimately, Macavity attempted something of a mutiny that resulted in the deaths of Munkustrap's mother, his two littermates, and the injury or loss of many of his friends and cats he considered to be family. To this day, Munkustrap blames himself for knowing of Macavity's designs, but underestimating him and failing to prevent the disaster. He vowed to never allow such calamity to befall his loved ones again, which manifests in the fiercely protective persona for which he's known. Whatever love existed between the two brothers has been seemingly lost to time; Munkustrap has grown past his bitterness, anger, and desire for retribution...but what's left in the wake are sadness, regret, and wariness.

-

Mistoffelees - The youngest of the protag trifecta of Munkustrap/Tugger/Mistoffelees (for purposes of not getting lost in the sauce, they are, in my mind, the Kirk/Spock/Bones so to speak), Mistoffelees is something of a little brother/son/protegee ??? person??? to Munkustrap. Their relationship is a little hard to compartmentalize, but it's warm and familial all the same. Munkustrap sort of supplies to Mistoffelees what Deuteronomy was to Munkustrap. The magical cat, of course, is far from the first youngun to ever stumble into Jellicle territory in need of reprieve, but usually raising the new arrivals is a village effort. And it still was for Mistoffelees, but Munkustrap zeroed in on him in particular for two major reasons: his inexpendably cathartic effect on Tugger, and the whole Being Magical. Munkustrap remembered, of course, the quixotic fascination his older brother had with magic and the legends surrounding it, and his own proclivities towards harvesting and using it, but Munk was not prejudicial towards Mistoffelees because of that. He knew from the onset that Mistoffelees and Macavity are incomparable, and wanted to make sure that Mistoffelees would never lose touch with the goodness at his core. He also wanted to solidify that Mistoffelees would not be treated differently because of his abilities, but would get to enjoy a normal and secure upbringing. Also...he intuited immediately that it was important for Macavity to Not Find Out about this inexplicably magical cat. (Magical Cats aren't exactly unheard of but they're really not...supposed to be able to exist anymore lmao)

In return for Munkustrap's warmth and extensions of care and friendship, Mistoffelees has always been eager to be helpful and useful, and often functions as a "right-hand man" for the Jellicle Protector in many of the banalities of life in the Junkyard. Despite his aloofness and eccentricities, Mistoffelees has always sought to please and prove himself to Munkustrap, despite the fact Munkustrap has always had confidence in him and never required proof or reassurance that the conjurer was someone he could trust and rely on. hhhhh idk their relationship is cute to me!!! they're cute!!!!

-

Alonzo - Alonzo and Munkustrap have a lot in common...like Munkustrap, Alonzo's early youth was peppered by loss and grief, disasters outside the scope of his control for which he still blames himself. Also like Munkustrap, it is because of these developments that Alonzo has sworn himself to be a protector for all those he holds dear. But, unlike Munkustrap, Alonzo is heavily saddled with endless self-doubt, self-flagellation, and fear. He's around Tugger's age, and Munkustrap recognizes how much learning and growing he needs to do, but also recognizes the drive and intensity propelling him towards becoming either a mess of self-destruction, or a rocksteady protector and friend on whom others can rely. Munkustrap instinctively took Alonzo under his wing, becoming his unofficial mentor, and is pretty much the only cat toward whom Alonzo is open and affectionate. The latter often goes to Munkustrap in times of doubt and fear, but also focuses on impressing and emulating the Jellicle Protector in any way he can. When it comes to being backed up during an altercation, or any matters concerning the security and safety of the colony, Munkustrap knows he can rely on Alonzo above anybody else to back him up. The two are very brotherly and familial with one another, and together make a duo that I, personally, would not fuck with.

Also, importantly, Alonzo supplies a sort of catharsis for Munkustrap as well. While the Protector may not realize it, being able to guide and mentor Alonzo functions as something like reparation for his own past failures; now he's able to pass on the lessons he's learned so that Alonzo won't make the same mistakes he made, and Alonzo being his protegee reassures him that he's capable of positively influence those who are in his care. (which he doesn't often conscientiously doubt, but losing his family instills fear in the back of his head that he'll fuck up in any way with his new family, a fear that's usually surfaced in conjunction with Tugger)

Jenny - She is a surrogate mother figure to Munkustrap, and one of the only cats to whom he yields his absolution of authority in the absence of Deuteronomy. (not unlike the way Kirk often has to cede to McCoy...two star trek references in one post about cats??) He's known her his entire life, and she has always been a source of comfort and guidance towards him that is similar, yet still different, in comparison to Deuteronomy. I like to think Jenny is one of the few cats that Munkustrap would ever go to for advice or consolation, and also one of the few cats who will openly question his approaches or point out his shortcomings. (it comes from a place of love!) Munkustrap also just thinks she's hilarious. A heavily burdened cat like him needs the unique combination of comfort and levity that a cat like Jennyanydots can provide! together they have a lovely rapport <3

-

(here comes the somewhat controversial takes pfffttt. you can flame me if you want idc it's the internet and I know what I signed up for lmao but if you are a demestrap purist who may become emotionally compromised by the suggestion that a romantic connection between the two is Not A Given, feel free to skip this part)

Demeter - listen. I know you're wondering but I'm going to keep it short for now okay. suffice it to say, they have a bit of a back-and-forth, so to speak, mostly stemming from Demeter trying to navigate the residual damage of her troubled past (and.....present) but. my version of Munkustrap is on the aroace spectrum (hides) and so instinctively doesn't move in on Demeter out of an impulse to "rescue" or "fix" her. And for her part, whenever she does indicate an interest in anybody, it's not like she's driven by a long-sufferer's Need For True Love. And even if it were, I'd lampshade that as Not A Good Basis For A Relationship. like idk it's a complicated thing, but regardless, I think she's a fascinating character on her own, far outside the realm of her sensuality and her relationships with the male characters lol.

So continuing, Munkustrap doesn't overstep the fact that she's an adult who can make her own decisions, and also he can see with his own eyeballs that she errs on the side of indecisive regarding her estimation of Macavity, and morality in general, and his mind is not clouded with "I Am A Straight Man In The Presence Of A Beautiful Woman" so as to persuade him to, for some reason, insist that she's not capable of making poor decisions, and trust her judgment above anybody else's in a comparable situation. He, of course, would like to help her, within reason, like he would like to help any cat who expresses interest in being a part of the colony and embracing the mores of Jelliclehood. And he is, of course, kind and helpful towards her because that's the kind of cat he is. and it has nothing to do with an urge to romance her. 😬 or protect her with anomalous fervency because She's Just A Girl (honestly idc about any implications regarding gender roles that have wormed their ways into various versions of CATS bc these are CATS and they lack culturally gendered expectations/roles and also they lack secondary sex characteristics)

because Demeter is rather flighty and cagey, and Munkustrap is a Busy Bee, it takes a while for the two of them to even really become friends, and when they do, there are still some ups and downs granted by a bevy of contrasting opinions/idiosyncrasies endemic to the respective characters. Once he gets to actually know her, Munkustrap does believe in Demeter and encourages her to make progress, but he doesn't hover over her or fuss over her more than he does any other of his adult friends lmao. in the few instances that she behaves in a sensual manner towards him, he's like...ig open to it, but again, he's on the aroace spectrum and navigates those kind of connections within that realm, which To Me means that, in his case, he's never governed by romantic, sensual, or sexual impulses/attractions. bc listen. I just love a male hero who is not ultimately fulfilled by A Woman's Love and Having Children (those things are great for some people!!! pls don't think I am suggesting otherwise lmaooooo)

if it seems like these past few paragraphs have a defensive tone...it may be because I operate in anticipation of being condemned by passionate shippers (and also I too am on the aroace spectrum and thats not for nothing lol) but like I said it's the internet and ik what I signed up for. I have nothing against believers in demestrap. not to mention that yk, hal.........it's about cats.

anyway!!!! Munkustrap has a meaningful relationship with everyone at the Junkyard, but I'm gonna stop here for now lol. I could write a passage for every possible combination of every possible pairing of cats but I have already gone beyond the scope I originally imagined pfft. I hope this gives an adequate enough glimpse into how I construe him and his personality and a little bit of his backstory. sorry if's confusing af, or if I focused too much on other cats. also I alluded to a few things that I'm not even sure I've expanded on before. but if you made it through this whole thing and if you care at all about my fanverse pls don't hesitate to ask for expansion or clarification on anything

Myel's gender thought

(he/she for Myel)

[beesgav]

This is a very disorganized little ramble/analysis but it's really interesting to me how the '79 series introduces Natalie and Mayumi, two one-off characters who are ostensibly very similar (prior love interests for the character they're associated with who initially seem to want to rekindle some kind of connection, but events throughout the story push that connection to an irreversible turning point), but have practically opposite perspectives on the same issue- their respective character's status as a cyborg.

Specifically, Natalie (and the rest of the gang) reject Jet after he refuses to help Georgie, but he chooses not to reveal that it's because as a cyborg he physically can't. He's willing to let these relationships that mean a lot to him be destroyed because he'd rather that than get these people involved.

Mayumi, on the other hand, seeks out Joe's help because he's a cyborg, something that Joe himself doesn't realize she has known for a while, and it's her revealing that knowledge that pushes him to his breaking point. He thought she was relying on him because she trusted Joe, when in actuality she was relying on his strength.

Natalie was counting on Jet to behave like a human would, which he can't. Mayumi values Joe because she sees him as a machine, which he doesn't want. In both episodes there's a clash of irreconcilable differences which ultimately drive them apart from these people and remind them of how non-human they are despite their personal desires; Jet was prevented from helping his friend because he's a cyborg, and Joe was only sought after for help because he's a cyborg. Both of their human desires are overshadowed by their intrinsic physical state as non-humans. The conflict is caused in part by them acting human/as if nothing had changed- if they had both been forward with the facts of what they are, these specific conflicts would not have happened. Obviously, other things would have undoubtedly stemmed from that, but that's less important than the fact that the reason they didn't say anything was because because they didn't want to acknowledge how much things had changed.

In both cases, both cyborgs were hoping that reconnecting with this aspect of their lives outside of Being A Cyborg would work- either in Jet returning to his old gang out of anger at the team, or Joe trusting and wishing to help this person who he really cares about. Both ultimately are snapped back from this illusion of normalcy by the reality of what they are, and how they can never really go back and have normal "human" lives.

The tone of the endings differ, but fundamentally they reinforce the same core lesson - the only people they- and the rest of the team- can be fully open to are each other. It helps set the stage before the full reveal of Black Ghost's return as Neo Black Ghost, but man is it bleak. Which I suppose is only in-character for this franchise.

Nightly dance with the fairies

This is for the following ask in my inbox:

I started to write something I thought to be soft / happy / fluffy but it just didn't go to there. >.< I will get that story eventually written and uploaded but luckily I had several ideas for happy Time and hence I pulled one of them from there. This is short, bit over two (2) pages in Word. ^^;; Anyway, enjoy of the story! =D

Also, if someone wants to read it at AO3, here's the link:

Summary: Time doesn’t really dance but when the fairies ask he never says no.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Time had followed the fairies into the smallish flowery clearing. His boys were safely at the camp while being guarded by Warriors. Most of the Links were already asleep when he told he’d take a walk. The Chain wasn’t too worried as they were in sacred grounds. In fact, they really weren’t needing a night watch shifts while at there. Yet, it just had felt comforting to know one of their own was also keeping check on their surroundings.

At first it had only been a feeling what the one eyed male had been tracking. He felt bit uncertain of having left Hyrule to the camp but the youngster had exhausted himself after that battle with few black bloodied Iron Knuckles and Dark Nuts. Those beasts had taken them off guard despite their armor and enormous size.

The Chain’s leader knew he and his boys were really in the need of the rest but he couldn’t ignore the call he heard. The quiet chimes were clearly only meant for his ears as the Traveler hadn’t even twitched when the first sound had come. And there was nothing he wouldn’t do for these little flying helpers. After all, those benevolent beings had raised him, given their magic to him and taught their language to him. He owed to them a lot.

The fairies flocked Time the moment he came to their area. He smiled and relaxed fully as he felt the constant touch of wings and gentle brushes of their hands against his face. He smiled wider when the small beings began to braid his hair. Even though the era wasn’t his nor was the timeline, he always felt like he belonged with the fairies. He didn’t share blood kinship with them but each of the fairies knew he had been raised by them. They could see the slight glow of fairies on him. The ones whom raised him as well as his quest companions of Navi, Tatl and Proxi. Even Hyrule had shared his green colored fairy magic into the array of colors that already made his glow.

There wasn’t much the one eyed male wouldn’t do if one requested of him. And yet, there were several things that only very few could ever ask of him. And now these fairies made a wish upon him. He hadn’t been up for it but it wasn’t like he could say no.

The Old Man glanced once towards the way where the camp was. He searched the woods with his gaze and even inquired from the forest itself if the eight Heroes of Hyrule still were at where he had left them. Satisfied with his own notions and the given answers from the nature, he closed his eye and simply nodded his answer.

The fairies were delighted and chiming happily and eagerly at his acceptance. The music started nearly instantly as several brought out the needed instruments. The rest began to dance the way they felt right with each of them having their own moves to make. Time opened his eye for a while and just watched the beings fly so gracefully and joyfully around him. They still stayed close to him and let him feel them all around him.

Time closed his eye again and listened to the song. He needed to get into the rhythm and flow of the music so he could forget where he was. He didn’t dance too eagerly and only Malon and the fairies could ever really get him to do such. There had been a time when he had loved to dance with the fairies but Mido had very much destroyed that from him. In fact, there had been lot the Kokiri boy had taken from him.

The one eyed male had re-found some of the fun of dancing during his second quest from a ghost of a dancer called Kamaro. After setting the man free from his regret of having not passed the moves forward, he had used that dance now and then but always without anyone seeing. He didn’t feel like he was much of good with the dancing but he couldn’t have denied the fun of it all.

After Termina, the Chain’s leader hadn’t had much of chances to even think about dancing. He had ended up into a battlefield of a war after leaving the lands of his second quest. At there, he hadn’t had the time or interest for something as trivial as dancing…. Except that one time he had seen the Captain try and figure out dancing so he could impress Princess Zelda later on. He had improvised Kamaro’s moves to fit into the needed music and aided the Hero-to-be. Yet, after that he had fully refused to be coaxed into dancing ever again.

Next time the Old Man had picked any dance moves was from Malon. He had been pretty much mesmerized by her dancing. Before he even knew what he was doing, he had gotten up and, quite clumsily, began to follow her moves. She had laughed and he had gone so red in embarrassment. He had really just wanted to bolt the hell out of there and never think about the incident ever again. Yet, she hadn’t allowed that. Instead, she had pulled him back close to her and taught him.

Now, up for dancing with the fairies, Time needed a while to get into the song’s going. He was grateful that it was just him and the fairies at there. He wasn’t certain he could take it if the boys watched him. All he really needed was to calm down and let the music take him along.

When the Chain’s leader finally caught himself entangled into the rhythm and flow of the gentle sounds, he began to dance. His actions were slow at first as he searched for the right movements to go with the feeling and the instruments that were being used. He combined what he had seen the local fairies do around him into the moves he had learned from both Kamaro and Malon. Yet, without really even realizing it, he brought back moves he had done back in his childhood before Mido had called him on names, claimed lies and laughed at him.

The further the dancing went, the more the one eyed male enjoyed of the situation. He also noticed the movements of the fairies change around him. And when he felt it, he opened his eye to check the situation. He grinned slightly as he noticed the small dancers having picked his way of going. They followed his every move fluently and gracefully while letting him lead. Even the music had changed to go along with his dance instead of what the fairies themselves had been up for playing. Time closed his eye and let his dance become bolder.

This was what the Old Man had been missing for years. The belonging, the mutual actions, the enjoyment. The whole situation just took him along and he returned back to those childhood years when he had loved to dance with the fairies of Kokiri Forest. He hadn’t thought he could ever feel like this again as he laughed in glee and could feel the happiness and smiles of his dance companions. The fairies were equally delighted of dancing wildly and without boundaries. Just allowing the music to lead the actions and letting the Hylian not bound by blood decide on the movements that fit into the given songs.

Time, for his own surprise, actually lost the track of time. It was only when he realized to start to be out of stamina that he began to finish the dance. It still took him a moment to realize that the third and last night shift would be starting within an hour or so. The fairies followed his movements of slowing things down and ending the song and fun of the night.

The one eyed male bowed deeply to his dance partners before bidding goodbyes. Yet, the small healers weren’t up for letting him leave just like that. Instead, they led him to the close by small stream to wash up. They even washed his clothes and dried them up. No-one would know where he had been, with whom or doing what. Little secret for them all to hold on to.

The Chain’s leader thanked the fairies while inviting them for meals at the upcoming day. The fairies eagerly took that offer before bidding their goodbyes. After that he returned to the camp. He just grinned into the inquiries of where he had been, kissed the night shift’s boy to forehead and went off to his bedroll to sleep for those few hours.

A while before Wild would’ve started the breakfast, the fairies came into the camp. Time rolled to his back and smiled happily as he watched the small flyers begin to make the whole Chain acquaintances of theirs. Hyrule was more than delighted of having the visitors and he was soon engulfed into conversation with several of them.

The Old Man simply moved over to Wild’s side and made a request on the foods for the day to be suitable for fairies too. The Champion nodded happily and gladly began to work with fruit based sweet foods. After that the oldest Link went to Warriors and just plopped down next to him.

“Someone’s happy today.” The Captain commented with a pleased grin.

Time chuckled and just leaned even closer to him. “A night with fairies tends to have that effect, yes.” He replied while smiling widely and enjoying of the scenery of the fairies and his boys enjoying of each other’s company. The war Hero just chuckled and shook his head. He wrapped his scarf around his little brother before already getting himself pulled into conversation with few of the fairies. The oldest Link just smiled while feeling far happier than for years. Maybe someday he might actually let the boys and Malon see him dance with the fairies. Yet, for now, he had the last night and this day to enjoy of.

She's my roommate and if she were absent for days or were having a medical problem, I would have gladly sent the answers to her and helped her

But the thing is nobody is sick and she has attended all the classes. I made my notes in question answer form, sat hours on the laptop to make flashcards and mock questions for practice and even answered it. Now she wants them all because I am done with all the material.

Like it would actually just take the same time as me to make your own answers instead of copying it of me. If I wouldn't have done it, she wouldn't have bothered with me at all for it.

The thing is I feel annoyed when people do, because I sacrifice outings and many social activities just so I can study, and prepare for classes because I have dance classes and practice to attend too

And then see another person who will spend classes talking to every other person, getting up late etc. She studies yes and can even score better than me sure.

But I hate to see my hardwork be used when you were in perfect health and were present all the time, but chose to spend the remaining time roaming around after class.

And the material is really easy, like just make answers from the damn slides.

Do y’all really think Fabian would go to college in America (specifically Ohio) to chase after a girl who, while he cares for and misses her (bc lbr they also trauma bonded on top of having a thing for each other), dumped him over a letter and ghosted him? Like, yeah maybe they found each other again later in life after Anubis, but it would not be because Fabian was chasing after her. Why must we refuse to let him have dreams and a life outside of Nina?

also. the PURAH ONE!!!!

AUGH alright so this one is less set in stone and more of just making a purah fic so theres more out in the sea if that makes sense? though the general idea was inspired by nanas dialogue about the sheikah slate and apparently training under purah, as well as the townsfolk in hateno Knowing purah and mentioning being worried about her when carrying the blue flame and talking to them. a fic of purah just moving in and snippets of her settling in and interacting/meeting the townsfolk, as well as symin and jerrin (jerrin trained under purah and was sent to robbie by impa!) just. lots of unexplored potential that i think would be neat to see.
