In my mind palace my tav and Astarion are playing the exact same game of 5D chess and they don't realize it yet

I love it when Durge has the same personality pre and post lobotomy but just stripped of context.

Like, you are a person. You have feelings and instincts and reactions. You have muscle memory for things you don't remember doing. You know how to kill without thinking. Some things scare you for reasons you don't know. You are a shell without anything in it. You are a frame on which nothing has been built. You're an imprint of a person who doesn't exist anymore. A fossil of a dangerous predator. You were something, but now you are nothing.

Okay but it's super interesting how

Din = Power = Ganondorf

Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda

Farore = Courage = Link.

Because Din, in the hylian creation myth, created the physical world. Naryu then created the laws - gravity, time, etc. And Farore finally created life - plants and people.

Din created the body, naryu the mind, Farore the soul.

And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.

Ganon is physical power, he is big and intimidating and he breaks things. He is cunning and determined, but that's not what he focuses on. He is might makes right.

Zelda is wisdom and cleverness. She is stall tactics and information and team work. She is a powerful mage with a spine of steel, but that's not how she'll win. She is the pen being mightier than the sword.

Link is courage and persistence. He is the wild card sneaking behind enemy ranks, always moving, plunging into terrifying situations head first. He's a phenomenal fighter with a keen wit, but that's not what will get him through his challenges. He is bravery not being the absence of fear but the triumph over it.

They sit in perfect parallels to each other.

And ganon is reborn through his body - his resurrection is immortality. No matter how low he is cast, as long as he has a body he can claw his way back. He can cling to his power, build it ever higher.

Zelda is reborn through the magic of her bloodline. It's the accumulated knowledge handed down for generations, the unique power she must master, the skills she must develop to survive and get her kingdom out the other side intact. Even her name, the knowledge of herself, is handed down from all the way from the very first. Her ancestors knowledge of her future presence, her stability, is what gives her the edge.

Link is reborn in spirit. He is not bound by flesh or blood. Just like his wanderlust soul he can reappear in any time or place. His variation, his unpredictability, is exactly how he fights. It's what makes him so hard to pin down.

Ganons need to build strength means he can't chase after link. Links impulsiveness means zelda can outwit him. Zeldas stationary predictability means she's an easy target for ganon.

But the other direction?

Fire melts ice, ice redirects lightning, lightning burns fire.

And that's the very essence of the triforce.

Here's a big old Fire Emblem Search & Find I did for the FE3H Masquerade Zine! Find the Golden Deer, but see if you can't find the rest of the students as well! For the ultimate challenge, see if you can't name every character! (Disclaimer two characters are NPCs with no names)

Togame Jo’s greeting kisses to you are always way too long.

The kind of affection that’s usually savored in private, instead displayed wherever, whenever, and every single time you see each other—he always takes two to three minutes just to kiss you hello, abandoning the task at hand (dozing off, attending to Choji, managing the Shishitoren) to mosey your way and pull your lips to his in something just a little too sloppy to be sweet, but a little too sweet to be… too distasteful.

Everyone’s used to it by now, even Sakura, knowing that when you arrive, there’s always a going to be a pause in action just for the sappy display of Togame drooping over you and announcing you to the crowd physically.

(What’s not readily exposed, however, and especially not in a room full of men, is that it’s not just a kiss Togame’s giving you, not just a hello that he hides behind his long bangs and your cheeks between his warm hands, but the kindest stare and sweetest little whisper, “missed you, baby,” as he wraps you up in his arms.)

this took. way longer than it shouldve anyways i was tired of not knowing how much leg to draw each unit with in relation to each other so i made this. i eyeballed heights and took a couple liberties with the designs but its fine

also eule elster and ara are in low pixel hell bc i just scaled them up from a previous drawing and did not want to reline them LMAO i made this as a ref largely for myself anyways

[kwillow]

Maybe in another life.

I’m just very obsessed with the idea that mihawk is useless in a weapon less fight like he cannot throw a punch or get out of a pin to save his life like one he can’t kick he’s done out for the count, and this is why Shanks ends most of their duels this way. Because he’s a filthy cheater and Mihawk is even worse off because it’s Shanks pining him and he has eaten a lot of dirt.

Shanks decides to teach him the art of fighting dirty cause he’s nice that way but also let’s just say that Shanks likes being in a pin a little too much

I was thinking about all the seemingly mundane things Astarion must have seen while breaking into people’s homes out & about with the party, that inexplicably stirred something within him. Which of those things might he choose to explore, once he finally settles into some kind of normalcy?

I could definitely imagine a world where he’d learned to play piano as a child, but all that was lost to him after his turning at some point or another. Perhaps the muscle memory remained, but the music did not. Does he spend hours in Gale’s tower while he’s at class, practicing, relearning to play? Does he enjoy the technical mastery of perfecting a piece or does he ache to compose; to find a way to express what he otherwise can’t fathom putting into words? I think he’d make a wonderful pianist; he’s got all that dexterity/sleight of hand and literally forever to practice, after all. I think it’d be good for him too — something that can be soothing, distracting, or cathartic whenever needed.
