I’m not sure if I’ve said this one already or not, but I wanted to tell you anyways! It’s about the humans-are-not-hylians AU!
You know the uncanny valley evolution? That thing where when you look at something that resembles a living being too closely and some part of your mind is screaming that it’s not whatever it looks like and to get away from it? Imagine that with the reader! They can spot shapeshifters easily because of this, but it instills the same extreme primal fear we’d experience, so it might be hard for the reader to confront them at first and they’ll instead just tell the Chain for a while.
This might be a double edged sword, though, because when Twilight is in his wolf form, the reader still gets that same feeling when “Wolfie” is looking at them, whether or not they know it’s Twilight. In this case, the first time the reader spots Wolfie approaching the camp, they probably freak out and try to avoid him, even if the Links are okay with him or if he seems familiar to them.
The bottom line is that wolf isn’t a wolf, so what is he?
“It’s okay, he’s a really friendly wolf!”
“...That’s not a wolf...”
Sorry i took forever to respond!! im slow as always, life is too busy for even my hobbies lately sobs 😭
bro this is especially true bc someone looked back at TP games and how he looks in his “wolf” form, and apparently he is actually a dog lol - like at most a wolf-hybrid, i added this in to support this Hyrule-is-hella-Uncanny AU lol
Moon: Guide! - Gender Neutral/Masc!Reader (”you”/he/him)
Orbit: Short headcanons
Stars: mentions of most of our Links <3
Comets & Meteors: CWs: typical LU/Loz violence, mild swearing, etc & TWs: mild possible derealization trigger, talk of Link’s Awakening and Koholint.
Please comment if I missed any. /gen
The Yiga clan members have never fooled you, not Once in person, unlike back when hyrule was still a video game
it was the constant smell of bananas, the way their eyes were always a little unfocused or they moved their head to move around their eyes, rather than their actual pupils moving, the facial muscles all stiff, usually stuck in an uncomfortable smile-
it makes more sense once u realize that they technically have a mask under that glamour hylian face, but its never not hilarious to see Wild look over his shoulder at you before approaching a lone traveler on the roads and watch him get increasingly frantic to get ur attention to see if theyre yiga lmao
u bet ur ass every link was relying on you on their adventures to know shapeshifters/illusions/glamours/etc. on sight and tell them to better prep them/warn them
tbh they all got at least a little better at being able to tell the difference the longer they heard you point out stuff/talk abt exactly why it was off-putting
(that said some of ur heroes are better at it than others, both in general, and certain aspects of it: like Twilight isn’t able to pick up illusions/glamours for the life of him, literally, sometimes, but he is more likely to figure out shapeshifters by scent after you Guided him)
(no, your heart didnt crack a little after learning that the boys had a harder time with deceit after you stopped playing the game = “were forced to leave after their adventure” bc while they were better at detecting it, they werent on ur human level yet..)
(…the only deception you ever really fell for was Koholint. It was so painful too, because Legend quietly disclosed to you one late night that you would constantly get strange feelings/uncanny disturbances, but were never able to put a name to it for him, which both made you jumpy/paranoid on the island, but made him regret ever letting his guard down all the more or feel guilty for what felt like dismissing ur instincts the more he relaxed… Legend never doubted your sense for the uncanny ever again. He takes it seriously every time now.
When you feel as if you should apologize, he tells u not to, that these days he takes comfort in it actually, it makes him feel safer. Legend looks to your face for confirmation that something isn’t a dream, and if you look at ease, so is he.)
its the way you casually laugh at Twi being called “Wolfie” when he’s obviously a wolf-dog hybrid or just a big dog
and when everyones confused u just explain smth smth, wolf heads are larger in comparison to their body, their legs are narrow, their paws are big, dogs are like the oppposite, or way more proportional like “Wolfie” is, dogs bob around when they run like “wolfie”, and have shorter legs,
smth smth wolves cant have eye colors like blue, only dogs/wolf-dog hybrids can silly-
and Wolfie is just like, 😐 😑 😐
turning around and walking away, bc hylias knotted fucking braid- he really cant escape the dog accusations now, you literally used ur freaky truth-seeing instinct and read his shapeshifter ass from head to literal toe/paw-
Wild/Hyrule look fascinated, Wind and Legend cant breath theyre laughing so hard, Time is coughing suspiciously into his fist and pops back up smirking, Four is laughing but also encouraging you to keep going, Sky is desperately trying to keep it together while also trying to get Twi to come back lmao, Wars is literally pointing and laughing ashkljdl-
ok but Twi gets his revenge later by tricking you into yapping abt how Hyrule/Four/Time all kind of look “off” sometimes too
like how u swear Rulie is glowing subtly when the moon is full, or how the world distorts behind his back sometimes,
or how Four’s eyes change colors all the time, his fighting style looks like its rotating between 4 diff ppl’s techniques,
or how Time’s face wrinkles like smile lines/crows feet at the corner of his eyes will randomly appear and disappear, how he’ll have some stubble one day then 3 days later despite having not shaven (u literally saw him wake up and do his morning routine) it’ll disappear like it was never there in the first place-
and when Twi has stopped asking you abt the others as they all reel over the knowledge of what all u can tell abt them,
(ur quietly relieved no one asked abt Wild.
You resolve urself to just lie if anyone asks, even to Wild himself.)

I just read your latest hoshina fics and i trully am mopping TT really really love angst comfort and you really execute it well. If you dont mind me asking, what's on your wips? I would like to send a request but i am afraid it would be similar with your other wips
STOP THIS IS LITERALLY SO SWEET I CRIED THANK YOU SM FOR ASKING (ALSO NOW I JUST GET TO YAP) I fear they're hardly wips and more like just outlines or ideas but for like angst comfort specifically I have
hoshina can't forget his highschool sweetheart
you can't get over narumi gen (GOD KNOWS WHY) and hoshina waits for you to look his way
hoshina had convinced himself at some point that he literally existed for mina and there was no other reason for him to live until you came around (but I feel like this is really similar to a lot of other ones I've written so it's kind of just sitting there for now....)
hoshina keeps trying to let you go to keep you out of danger/let you find someone better — inspired by tightrope from the greatest showman
vague idea of hoshina hating this awful world with kaiju everywhere where nothing is safe ever but because you're around to act like it's a lovely place to be he's like... well maybe it's not so bad — inspired entirely by nighthawks by yonezu kenshi
and then I have a few more completely unrelated blurbs here and there that I will probably merge together or expand on I will leave them as pictures
HOWEVER YOU ARE ALWAYS SO FREE TO JUST SEND IN YOUR REQUEST I will give it good thought I promise !! (also apologize for my slow writing in advance)
and if any of these are to your liking you can also lmk I will try to prioritize it !!

dilfguru is EVERYTHING <333 he came across so dominant to me but like. in the most gentle way?? like it’s not forceful or combative. it’s just that calm, loving, genuine dominance. the kind that’s comforting (lowkey relaxing?? why do i feel like dilfguru gives asmr-ist vibes? 👀 teehee). soft dominance, to me, sorta feels like a really warm embrace. you captured that essence so beautifully in this fic. nothing about his dominance felt… threatening? idk if i’m making sense let me shush 😩 it was very natural and seamless, like all of your creations <3
it’s so rare to see suguru characterized so well and so accurately. the way you write him (and all characters tbh) is so gorjus. exquisite. a delicacy, if you will!!! i’m so so happy i’ve found you. the way you write is absolutely breathtaking, i can’t get enough. YOU ARE A GEM. i hope you have an amazing day and i hope you sleep so so good and have the best dreams. <3
ANONNNNNNNNN
this ask is so sweet i can’t handle it AND THAT’S SOOOOO REASSURING TO HEAR??????? that’s EXACTLY how i wanted him to come across lmao. he’s so dominant!!!! but in such a gentle & soothing way!!!!!!! not threatening at all… he just has this Presence to him that i think melts you completely :’) he’s so sweet. and confident. and comforting!!!
just being next to him is like free asmr tbh bc can you even imagine living your life with that honeyed voice in your ear……. imagine it anon………. him leaning in close to whisper in your ear while guiding you through a crowd with his hand on your lower back… orrrrr he’s cradling you close in the morning and rasping out a deep, sleepy greeting…. 😵💫😵💫 yeah.
tysm for your sweet words 🥹 it always means so much to hear people like my characterization, especially when it comes to someone as complex as suguru….. it’s a delicate balance between his gentle nature and more dominant traits <3 and i’m so happy you enjoy it!!!! YOU are an absolute gem and i’m so happy you found your way to me 🥹🥹 ily.
