ocs as types of love

tagged by @narrativefoiltrope to take this quiz for some ocs!! thank u erin <33 gonna do some ocs that are in my mind a lot (started out with like 4 ocs, but it evolved into... this. also it's fascinating to see who got the same type <3)

alex wiseman, sindri silversong - love that calms

this is sweet. i hope you know that you make others feel at ease around you. you're a gem, a blessing, a treasure – and you should know it. it's comfortable loving you. it's a privilege to be around you and to be let into your world.

angel andrews, zia lhalabar, zora hanak - love that heals

your love is healing. it burns you with every bit of your soul, but you choose to heal, nevertheless. you are so, so so strong and i hope you know that. i send you peace. i send you calm. i hope things will become better for you in time, just as you have made others better in time as well.

noa sano, alva kalesko - love that lasts

love unconditional, love unfailing. you love no matter what happens because you believe in the best – of you, and them. it will hurt and it will fail you, but this love tastes so sweet – you can never believe that it bitters sometimes. the way you choose to love unconditionally is incredible.

saffron carnavon - love that strengthens

you make sure that people know that they are loved, and you give them strength when they need it the most. this is an ability that is rare; the love that you hold speaks wonders of yourself. i hope you're doing alright. isn't it exhausting always being the bigger person?

[katsuma6]

hello! may i request the NSFW alphabet for Zora Ideale please? 🥺👉👈

Zora Ideale NSFW Alphabet | Minors please DNI

Oh how I love Zora.❤

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Zora is incredible with aftercare. He would clean you up, run you a warm bath, get you some water. He's also a big cuddler. (Don't tell anyone.)

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Zora himself isn't necessarily a super confident guy. His cocky personality hides it. But you, he loves everything. Big thigh guy tho.. always has a hand on them or occasionally giving them a squeeze.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

He would 100% make a mess. Cumming all over your body.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Zora is addicted to the way you smell.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Zora isn't super experienced. He's the kind of guy that only sleeps with someone he truly cares for and trusts. But he definitely knows what he's doing.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Missionary. Loves seeing all the pretty faces you make.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Zora knows when it's okay to be goofy or crack a joke. But when it all comes down to it, he's respectful and concentrated on the moment.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Very clean and maintained. Nothing crazy.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Zora is always very concentrated on the task at hand. You hear things like, "that's my pretty girl." "Do that again." "You sound so cute." "I love when you do that."

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Zora doesn't do it often but, if you're on a mission and it's going to be a while when he's desperate... he'll do it. He'll use a picture of you or just think of you around him instead of his hand.

Anything with your scent on it helps too.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

LOVES biting.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

In the bed. It's more comfortable and he has more space to play with you.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Teasing makes him go crazy. He's quite literally a prankster. He would wear a shirt that says "don't bully me I'll cum"

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Whatever his partner won't do, he won't.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Zora is a pleasure Dom. He will eat you like a starving man. He'll try and make you cum as many times as he can. But, if you want to give him some, he'll gladly let you.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

He'll start off slow and sensual but gradually pick up the pace.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

He would definitely be down for a quickie.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks?)

Oh he will definitely experiment. He's willing to take a risk if it's for your pleasure.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Zora could go a few rounds. He doesn't tire easily. He always makes sure you're taken care of first.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

He would be the time to control a vibrator in public.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Lovvvves to tease.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Zora is bashful at first but, after a bit of time you can pull some quiet groans from him.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Zora is a great lover. Once he trusts you, you can count of him for anything. He will love you unconditionally.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Zora is very lean. Fit for sure. He has muscles but not in a beefy way.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Zora is not an insanely horny guy. He's not constantly looking for the next fuck. Once he's with you and you're in the right moment, game on.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Typically he will hold you until he knows you're sound asleep. Once you're out, he'll fall asleep too.

Just finished oracle of ages!!! Good game, good game. I have Thoughts.

I actually really enjoyed the story and characters! I figured going into the oracle games that it'd be a simple, cliché story, not much nuance or depth, and with Seasons that's basically what I got: din gets fridged in a crystal at the start of the game -> go get her -> you need a set of maguffins to do so -> fight big monster.

Admittedly it was the first game, which meant less story, but even if I hadn't linked (heh) the games for extra end game content Ages just did so much more.

Unlike din, naryu has someone else willing to help her. Ralph (the twinkiest twink to ever twink) was a young man who was her devoted friend (there was a weird crush triangle thing going on with him, Link and naryu, I always felt like I was missing subtext) and, spoilers for a 20yo game?? I guess?

He was the dethroned descendant of the ancient queen Ami. His family definitely still have big money though. He was pretty clearly supposed to be a comic relief character with a twist, but I ended up really liking him! He was over enthusiastic and over confident, but not unintelligent, a decent swordsman (I think) who was incredibly loyal to his friends and held some deep rooted responsibility for the people his family used to rule. Kind, determined, good with kids and people in general, he was terrified but willing to sacrifice his very existence to save the people.

The world building was also great! I don't think I've ever played a zelda game without gorons, but hylians were in short supply. To be expected outside of hyrule, I guess? Anyway, there were also lizard people on an island (tokay!) whose entire deal was.. A bit outdated? Rude, brazen and aggressive to outsiders, they lived in crude huts, worshipped things they didn't quite understand and were generally the old Hollywood stereotype of an isolated jungle tribe.

There was also, like, zora racism? There's a zora village underwater, and one of them was like 'us sea zora are nothing like those river zora 😒' which handily solved both my question of if the river/ocean zora divide was canon or fanon and the relationships between the two. Are they even the same species?? It just makes the rito even weirder but hey lmao. In all honesty I was pretty sick of the river zora at that point too, I swear there were two of them popping up in every screen that had even a sliver of water deeper than the knees and they CONSTANTLY shot fireballs istg they were such a pain. They were literally everywhere and so hard to kill.

On the plus side mermaid suit ^u^!! A dungeon item (the mermaids cave), the item had a desc like 'the skin of the mythical beast' which raised SO many more questions than it answered. The zora were delighted to see a young mermaid! The use of 'maid' implied either a) the zora all thought link was a girl and he didn't correct them (eyo genderqueer androgeny) b) the zora don't subscribe to gender the way humans do (eyo genderqueer androgeny) or c) all fish people look like mermaids regardless of their specific gender (eyo genderqueer androgeny). It literally could have been all three who knows. Maybe one day we'll actually meet a mermaid in zelda.

Also, there's a mini game in Seasons, which I played first, the subrosian dance. It's a pretty popular part of their culture, it's got music, it's got professional dancers. In Ages, you find the gorons doing the exact same dance! Rosa, a subrosian performer you meet in Seasons, is also there, saying her people's dance is better (tbf it is), but if you go to the past you'll find the gorons actually invented the dance first, as part of their love of games and entertainment, and you can talk to two subrosians who are talking about bringing the dance home! It's so interesting to see little details like this, where the travelling subrosians visited their fellow cave dweller lava eating people centuries ago, brought it back home where it exploded in popularity and centuries later became refined as a whole folk dance with spinning and everything, with the people forgetting where it came from, where the gorons keep their dance exactly the same (having to do a rhythm game without rhythm is hard).

Actually, there was so much political fantasy drama going on in the past?? Like, you've got the childless queen taking care of her people, a budding village and a few more settlements across the kingdom. Early in her reign she tried to build a tower to act as a beacon to her fiancé lost at sea, which is a romance story all on its own, but it was cut short (maybe because of funding?). Centuries in the future, it's just ruins. You've got people living on an ACTIVE VOLCANO starting a symmetry cult around a artifact called 'tuni nut' which, presumably, stabilises the volcano? And it's entirely cut off from the outside world. The goron elder is crushed under rocks and their economy is failing. The zora king got poisoned and he's about to die without an heir because a witch turned the fairy queen into an octorock, but the man in charge of the only cure refuses to hand it over until someone passes his tests.

Most of it is solved relatively easily by link and a copious amount of time travel, but the thing with the ruling queen only gets worse. When the evil witch invades the kingdom, she possesses the oracle of ages, naryu (who's a little implied to be the Actual Creation Goddess Naryu reincarnated) and travels back to the past to bring about an age of despair in the present. She does this by slipping into the royal court and befriending the queen as a serving girl, rising up the ranks to become her closest advisor and corrupting her (pretty sure mind control magic is used a li'l). She convinces her to restart the black tower project, pouring all of her and the towns resources into it - forcibly conscripting every able bodied worker and working them to the bone, all while monsters start to circle the tower. With all the fear and resentment, it quickly becomes a beacon of dark energy, a perfect focal point to perform black magics.

Link (and Ralph) end up in the past and get hauled in front of the queen, with possessed naryu at her side, who basically jeers at them and ensures the queen won't listen to their untrustworthy lies. The townsfolk are getting increasingly stressed as their village fills with rubble and their men are worked to the point of collapse. Armed guards start to appear to keep the workers under control. Eventually, Ralph uncovers a hole in the guard rotation, and he and link sneak into the palace through a secret entrance Ralph oh so casually knows about. Link and naryu fight, but with stupendous timing the queen walks in to see naryu collapsed on the floor, Link standing over her with a sword. She calls for the guards, but before anyone can react, the witch, banished form her first vessel, leaps into the queen herself instead. Ralph shoves past the arriving guards and into naryus arms, while link moves in from of them. The queen orders the guards to attack, but naryu, reawakened, pulls them back to the present in the nick of time. In the present, the black tower is magically growing, reaching higher and higher into the sky, terrifying the people of the city.

Then! Ralph, who at this point is suspiciously invested now his actual goal is completed and naryu is safe, vows to go back into time again, away from naryu, to live under the now evil queen and bring protection and comfort to the villagers as a direct act of resistance, because the witch is feeding on their sorrow to power an unknown ritual (link knows. Link, canonically, has told nobody). So this teen in fancy robes and cape goes back to the oppressed, poverty stricken town under the thumb if someone who wants him dead and lives there for weeks if not months dedicating himself to supporting the village and bringing people's hopes and spirits back up, presumably while living out of someone else's wooden hut. In the middle of a literal depression inducing miasma that's sapping everyone's joy and will to live.

That just. Takes insane strength of character. That's a feat of pure, distilled, compassion as anarchy.

Link's off bouncing between past and present doing dungeons and solving easier issues through either sword or magic item, but Ralph is out here doing the long hard slog for little reward.

Link finally returns to the black tower completed, affecting even the people of the present, and, preparations complete, rushes to the past. Ralph is nowhere be seen. Talking to the villagers reveals several have a crush on him, but an old man saw him running for the tower, sword drawn. There's a man pacing by the entrance, who saw the kid run in, tried to stop him. He said Ralph said that he no longer cared what happened to him. That the man realised that Ralph had quietly succumbed to the same curse of despair they all were under. Link fights his way up to the top of the tower, where Ralph confronts the evil queen, sword at her heart, but every step she takes into it, he steps back. The witch laughs. She asks him if he's really willing to write himself out of existence - being the queens descendant, and all. Ralph leaps back, into links chest. He's shaking and stuttering, but he lunges, and is knocked out in one blow. The queen now asks link the same question: is he willing to erase Ralph? If he strikes her, kills her, the queen will die, childless, and he will never live. She leaves, and link rushes to Ralph. He's awake but unresponsive, defeated. With a heavy heart, Link leaves him to chase the queen. It's naryu who finds him, brings him out of the tower.

When the witch is defeated, the curse is lifted, and Ralph is once more energetic and kind. He's a little quieter now, though, sticking close to naryu. For all he was a loud and headstrong kid, I gotta say I was very impressed.

He would have made a good king.

Round 1

Propaganda Under Cut

Yona

She’s the fiancé of prince Sidon, (arranged marriage) and since Sidon is almost always shipped with link, people went feral the second they saw her. She’s genuinely very kind and cares about her people and wants Sidon to be happy! She is NOT jealous, she wants him to hang out with his Best Friend. I have seen firsthand in real-time, people being SO misogynistic and cruel, and saying she’s ugly. She’s good in a crisis, very friendly, has a great design, and she doesn’t deserve the hate in the slightest!

I'M DESPERATELY TRYING TO FIND CUTE ART OF HER AND SIDON AND QUITE LITERALLY EVERYTHING REGARDING HER IS JUST STRAIGHT UP BLATANT HATE AND DENOUNCING HER AS SOME LAST MINUTE ADDITION TO THE STORY AS ORCHESTRATED BY JOHN NINTENDO TO STOP SIDLINK FROM BEING CANON LIKE THIS IS THE THE JOHNLOCK CONSPIRACY OR SOME MESS... i just want to see cute art of a green shark woman with a lovely smile :((((

so the breath of the wild fandom is pretty well known for REALLY liking prince sidon aka that one really tall fish guy. and they're also really well known for shipping him with link because every fandom needs a gay ship right. so then the sequel (totk) comes around and it's revealed that sidon has a fiance now and it's not link it's some zora girl from another domain. the game hasn't even been out for a month but i've seen people act so vile towards her like yona get behind me!!!!

Zelda

She spent 100 years in a metaphysical wrestling match with an ancient and primal evil after seeing it destroy almost everyone and everything she held dear in the hopes of saving the few that remained and Link's main goal after HIYAHing his way out of a amnesia-inducing coma was to come in and tag team said evil in order to save her and like 90% of the memories he can regain focus on their relationship with each other and its gradual improvement up to the point where Link fucking dies protecting her and it's the push she needs to awaken the power to push back the blight and PEOPLE ARE STILL OUT THERE IN THEIR POST-CANON FANWORKS TRYING TO TELL ME THAT LINK FUCKS OFF AND LEAVES HER ALONE TO GO SMOOCH THE HOT FISH PRINCE BECAUSE ZELDA WAS BEING TOO OVERBEARING OR WHATEVER AND HE COULDN'T DEAL WITH THE EXPECTATION??? LIKE ZELDA'S WHOLE FUCKING ARC WASNT ALSO ABOUT HER STRUGGLING WITH EXPECTATION AND FAILING TO LIVE UP TO IT AND YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE THIS WUALITY THEY BOTH OSTENSIBLY HAVE IN COMMON WOULD DRIVE A WEDGE BETWEEN THEM?? WHERE'S ZELDA YOU COWARDS?? I DON'T EVEN CARE IF YOU DON'T WANT HER AND LINK TO BE TOGETHER, JUST STOP DIMINISHING THE GRAVITY OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND MAKING ZELDA SUCK FOR NO REASON. SHE'S A BIG NERD! SHE GETS TOO IN HER OWN HEAD! SHE'D DO ANYTHING TO HELP THE PEOPLE SHE CARES ABOUT! SHE UNASHAMEDLY AND EXCITEDLY TRIED TO FEED HER PERSONAL KNIGHT A LIVE FROG IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE! HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE HER 

Im specifically saying botw Zelda here because oh my gOSH this poor girl can get made out to be like a horrible bitch when people. want link to get that shark dick. on average she doesnt get thattttt badly treated compared to some others but goddamn.

title character but people hate her because they want link to get w sidon. so she gets fridged or entirely forgotten even though shes literally his canonical soulmate and they have been reincarnated together hundreds of times (w ganon but whether u make em poly or make him the long suffering third wheel is up to you). people will be like oh but zelda was mean to him that one time (??). be serious w me rn. she just got removed from fandom entirely and if that isnt the epitome of victim of yaoi idk what is.

[ot3]

How much of Link/Sidon is just people simping for the shark man and using Link as a self insert for that, and how much does it actually feel like a genuinely well set-up potential romantic pairing? Never had the time to play botw or totk (swamped with schoolwork) so this has always intrigued me.

Asking because you occur as the tumblr user with the most based opinions on these sorts of matters.

On one hand, in general, link as a silent protagonist doesn't have the easiest time developing a rapport with NPCs enough that I could confidently say any of them are "well set up romantic pairings". the vast majority of his characterization outside of how you the player interpret him comes from the memories feature in botw, which is understandably very focused on his relationship to Zelda rather than NPCs he has yet to meet. However. With that said. There's yaoi there for real. Sidon is immediately so obsessed with link he's like omg bestieeee hiiii ^_^ like that shark dude loves him

In totk u go to the zora domain and Sidon has had a statue of link riding on his back put like front and center in the city. Sidon has a fiance in totk but this does nothing to dissuade me because imo Sidon is the kind of guy who doesn't think it's cheating to kiss the homies and I think his fiance seems based enough to agree. He and link are both busy guys so do I see a committed relationship working? Probably not. But does he drop in to lanayru every now and then to swing? Absolutely. I believe this.

[jammboe]

hi! I love ur art, btw you know that Washed Ashore zora artwork? and how the zora had like glowing blue scales???

can you tell me how you did that? cuz I'm actually trying to go for a similar effect for my own mermay art rn jkfbdskjfsdb

the mer is like an eel with glowing spots along the side lol

thanks so much for ur art and if u choose to answer this <3

sorry for the late reply 😭

i did a little help sheet on how i do the glow, i hope it helps

I tried to keep it short and sweet. But i would also suggest playing around with different levels and styles of blur, like motion blur for different effects. And i usually tend to have the glow layers on top of the lineart! if you have anymore questions feel free to ask!!
