Okay buckle up I had a WEIRD dream about totk last night—
So it started off by showing the entire map of the game, which was totally different from the botw map, pretty much no similarities aside from the size and vague location of things, like the desert and zora’s domain.
The biggest deal was that apparently when Zelda sealed away Ganon with her powers at the end of botw, this huge tree grew up in the middle of castle town, pink like the deku tree and that tree on satori mountain, and in the time between botw and totk, smaller versions of these trees popped up all over the place, and now were the only trees around, replacing all the others.
I remember looking around the map at all these big and small pink trees all over the place, and noticing there were also huge canyons and pits spread around, (the reason for these was never elaborated on), especially noticing this one huge canyon on the left side of the map that was shaped like calamity ganon. I think I made a post about it on here being like “DID ANYONE NOTICE THIS???” and apparently I was the only one XD
Anyway I think the actual game started in castle town, still overshadowed by this huge tree (it felt protected though, it wasn’t menacing), but for some reason whenever you were in castle town the game was top-down view? And had really ugly colors. People got really mad about it, they thought it looked bad and were complaining soooo much.
It gets a little fuzzy after that, but I remember making Link walk up to this couple (might’ve been Rhondson and Hudson?) and they had a baby, and you could push a button and make Link hold the baby?? I remember being so happy that was a mechanic, and ran around taking the time to hold everyone’s babies and talking to the people who had them. You could also pet dogs, but that wasn’t as exciting for some reason.
After all that Link finally left castle town, and it looked more like botw then, no longer top-down view. The pink trees were everywhere, it was like all of Hyrule became this big forest and the road itself was a huge tree root or branch maybe.
I put Link on his horse and looked around for this shrine I knew was around, but after I found it a little message popped up saying “this shrine’s enemies are too tough for you to tackle right now!” kind of like the “you can’t go any further” sign that pops up when you reach the edge of the map. And no matter what I did, I couldn’t enter the shrine, so I gave up and kept going.
I really don’t remember much after that, but I think I was trying to find Zelda, because it turned out the trees were a sign that something was wrong with her, but I woke up before I could find her.

AU: Where Sukuna Wins
Part 1
Part 2 here
Imagine an alternate universe in which Sukuna triumphs, dominates over Japan, and endures a lonely existence for many centuries, while allowing some humans to live.
They hold a grudge against him, of course, and want to kill him. They train at Jujutsu High and have some great fighters that occasionally provide Sukuna with some entertainment.
They are so desperate for salvation, they can only find solace in prophecies about a figure with powerful blue eyes that will defeat the king of curses and rescue Japan.
And do you know what Sukuna does in response to that? One might expect him to go full Pharoah mode and kill newborns, but NO!!
HE DOES THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE !!
Whenever he ravages a village and devours the women and children, he ALWAYS spares the blue-eyed infants.
All the curses know better than to kill an infant with blue eyes. The last time a curse did that, Sukuna made sure to make an example of it.
Killing a member of the Gojo clan is also off limits, as well as anything that could delay the reincarnation of this certain person.
These humans are not the only ones waiting for salvation.
Sukuna is also WAITING...for his wretched existence to end at the hands of this person.
The ONLY one worthy of having the honor to do so.

This might not be anything, but while writing about your fics, the way you have the characters' mannerisms down PERFECTLY got me thinking about mirroring...
There's a lot of it in 7 (Horii is a directorial genius etc etc), most of it more intentional than these probably are, but there's something so interesting about mirroring that takes the tone of a (relatively) fond memory, a familiar gesture, and inverts it in the way shown here.
OH I'M GLAD YOU'VE NOTICED THESE TOO I think I mentioned it months back (or I drafted a post 'bout it but didn't think it was anything noteworthy) but I always really did like how the Arakawa Family mimicked each other's mannerisms (also circling back to how Jo and Masato calling Ichiban 'Ichi' presumably after picking it up from Arakawa)!
Aoki actually does the same sitting gesture too! I went back to double check and skim through the rest of the game's cutscenes, and as far as I could tell unless I skipped a scene, it really is only these three that do this specific pose:
It's such a small detail but I love it immensely and it really does highlight their connections with each other and it drives me insane
