Embracing The Light Has Its Dangers…

Amnesia: The Dark Descent - "Guardian, O' Guardian.."

*Drops you a few Zellards.

Since I’ve been seeing a lot of other skilled people showing off their Astor fanfics, I thought I would go ahead and post mine here. This is a sister fic to “The Intertwining of Light and Dark”, a fic I am co-writing with a friend @gdds-alexis. Warning though, it is explicit and Tumblr doesn’t often fancy such things. Hope you enjoy it!

Summary: An epilogue for "The Intertwining of Light and Dark". https://archiveofourown.org/works/28410243)

Link and Astor make a late-night journey to the Heart Break Pond for a much-needed bath. Of course Astor has other ideas...

The sequel to Rainibow Sprimkles.

Good shit right here!

Hours before the sun festival...

Young Astor is on the right and thriving. Far different from the one we will end up knowing. If only the world didn’t crumble before his feet

“ In the eternal game of gods, fate is the annoying sibling who barges in, picks a side at random, and proceeds to ruin the other side's life. No matter who it chooses each cycle, mortal men cling to it and claim it divine.

One year after the thwarted Calamity, a certain prophet thought dead returns. A certain hero shows him mercy. The universe frantically consults the rule book while fate runs off with their action figures. ”

good evening! chapter 1 of The Swordsman and the Seer is now up!

Good bebes deserve a reblog.

Ok so like if the argument is “Rauru questionable”… why? Why is he questionable? Because he’s powerful?

Ganondorf attacked him and he responded with restrained self defense. Ganondorf lobbed thinly veiled insults at him and his mixed race marriage in his own home, and Rauru responded with patient diplomacy.

One of the points made in the “Hyrule is imperialist” comments is the assumption that Rauru inviting Ganondorf and the Gerudo to join his kingdom basically amounted to a threat… except that’s really obviously not the case?

Rauru didn’t conquer them even after they attacked him. He didn’t conquer anybody. None of the other lands are under Hylian control. They all have their own leadership. They all manage their own resources. In BotW King Dorephan refers to Hylians as the Zora’s allies… not their masters.

Rauru established an alliance, not an empire.

People are concerned, saying “I hate how the other races are subservient to Hylians” except… they’re not. They don’t follow the royal family of Hyrule unquestioningly.

To get help from the other people, Zelda still had to make diplomacy trips and convince them to aid her. Convince them. Not command them. They’re loyal to her because she shows them the respect they deserve and is dedicated to caring for and protecting everyone. She’s not entitled to rule like Ganondorf thinks he is, people follow her because she’s a good leader and it seems to be the same with Rauru. He shared his immense power with others and sacrificed himself to protect everyone from being subjugated by Ganondorf.

Reading Rauru or Zelda as imperialist or Hyrule as an oppressive empire requires ignoring practically all of the canon text and projecting a number of things. So… why do people keep pushing that extremely shallow reading?

Call Nintendo out on its bullshit, by all means! The series has improved over the years because people voiced their legitimate concerns in the past. I just think this whole “imperialist propaganda” argument is completely off base and I really wish the people saying this stuff would pay more attention to the deliberate efforts Nintendo’s made to diversify the Hyrule royal family and the world of Hyrule at large.

Another funny misspelling collection

A few of the more creative spellings of Christmas I’ve come across while looking for Dear Santa letters in old newspapers this year.
