Bruh I left 10 minutes earlier than usual because I usually fuck up with time blindness and end up barely on time so here I am 30 minutes early sitting and waiting on ao3.

Damn it must suck to be a swimmer

just spent 11.5hrs at one pool for a swim meet. ive only had a couple pieces of fruit and a slice of pizza this entire time. im going to go cry and die.

i WILL live to see the zelda movie in 2 years

people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.

shoutout to my favorite fictional characters, favorite people, favorite ships, favorite movies, favorite tv shows, fanfics and archive of our own

I kinda just threw it on tumblr and hoped for the best LMAO. I think it’s beautiful how ao3 doesn’t have an algorithm so for people who don’t search by specific tags or filters it should also show up for them for a couple hours/days.

How do y'all promote your fics 😭

Waittt this makes so much sense lol

I wasn’t going to say anything but people keep bringing it up so listen. LISTEN.

THIS IS NOT CENSORED OOCCA. IT’S HOW SKY IS PICTURING IT FROM TWILIGHT’S DESCRIPTION.

This is Sky imagining what Twilight is describing.

Of course it doesn’t look exactly like an Oocca, Sky has only Twilight’s vague description to go off of. Twilight says it’s got a bird body like a cucco, and a longer neck and a person head. That’s it. That’s probably what I would picture too if I didn’t know what the Oocca look like! You wouldn’t know they have... uh, you know. Everything else. Because Twilight didn’t mention it.

And if you look at an actual picture of an Oocca too, you can see the one Sky is picturing is missing other details too; the facial structure is more masculine, the nose is too big and it appears to have actual eyebrows, and it’s got cheekbones too. They’re not supposed to be the same. It’s just Sky’s weird mental image of what Twilight told him.

okay thank you mild rant over

This has probably already been done but my solution to having a list of stuff to do this weekend written out in front of me with nothing checked off was to make a low effort meme. Let's pretend the oocca is a manifestation of time (no not Time I'm talking about tick-tock two hands Time).

Also I really love how out of context you could totally look at this scene and see Twilight trauma dumping his entire life on Sky in the first panel, slowly letting his brain catch up to what he's just revealed in the second panel, and then the third panel is just Sky giving the obligatory "um, have you talked to someone about this?" in which the answer is usually some form of "nah it's fine" and then dead silence for a good five minutes.

bamf sky hell yeahhh

We got an update with a lot of action!!!

Jojo draws her fighting scenes so incredibly well I can't-

Can we agree that Sky is absolutely terrifying? His expression does not. change. once. He's focused, calm and best of all, able to kick ass like it's nothing

THE BACK SLICE IT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FIGHTING TECHNIQUES!!! And, as Jojo pointed out, their fighting styles are very different but both extremely effective. I love it. This was amazing in every way

Time and Legend would probably have a heart attack if they knew what Twi was up to rn

the true skytue of liberty

He loves his big bird Twi let him be

He literally went ☝D:<

waitwaitwait malon??? what happened??? O_O

Edit: fuck you spell check

Sort-of-re-draw of my most(?) popular post Throw back to… six years ago… :v

Wild probably doesn’t need anymore group photos, but one more can’t hurt.

anyone else get imposter syndrome about having sensory issues? like the thought that goes something like 'oh i can't possibly have sensory issues this is a normal reaction to a bad smell/light/texture/sound' and shit like that? well i have the perfect solution!!!

get a sibling. they'll trigger every possible wrong thing in the world all at once and when you ask them to stop chewing with their mouth open THEY'LL DO IT LOUDER!!! AND YOU'LL GET CALLED TOO SENSITIVE!!!

you'd never guess it but the 'sens' in sensitive is the same as the one in 'sensory issues'

Edit: i fucking hate spell check

I can feel the hyperfixation energy building. It’s getting real.

I am so obsessed with this game that I learned its Hylian writing system

This is the most inspiring ‘just do the damn thing it’s not that deep’ message I’ve ever seen.

apply for jobs you’re not qualified for! audit upper-level classes! get drunk with your TAs! see that poster advertising that lecture series? go there take notes and ask questions! thank the presenter for talking about this topic you love! if the class is full before you register, email the professor and ask if they can squeeze you in! RAISE YOUR HAND! tell the disability accomodation office to do their goddamn job! ask for help! file complaints! go to class in your pajamas and destroy the reading! you got this! you KNOW you got this! be arrogant enough to learn EVERYTHING! take your meds! punch a velociraptor in the dick! fear is useless and temporary! glory is forever! shed your skin and erupt angel wings! help out! spread your sun!

i had a really good morning! you deserve a really good morning! kill anyone who says you don’t and build a throne from their bones!

Bro quizbowl knocked me out for 3 hours STRAIGHT. That dream was insane lol.

I’m headcanoning this headcanon as canon.

I love how warriors is the one who always asks paramedic-style questions when someone’s hurt

He’s asking questions not just to distract, but to see how bad the wound has impacted mental functioning “maybe we should be worried, because that’s not what I asked”

Calling by name to draw attention, asking easy questions…

Like look at his face in each panel, how closely he’s watching while talking to assess the damage

He’s always the one taking action in first aid (though obviously he can’t do magic stuff like hyrule but outside of that it’s him)

Wars is a captain, he’s trained and has had to take care of wounded, so he knows how to take care of not only the physical but the mental impact of injuries as well, and he always comes through for it.

I just kinda think that’s pretty cool

Holy shit wait that makes sense. I fricking love beat saber ahhhhhhh

I have a rlly strange LU headcanon but I want to get it out there anyways laalalal

Sky would be a beast at beat saber.

Like... rhythm game + sword thing

Sky is the best swordsman in the chain. ANNDDDD, like most of the Links, he's got a nack for music.

@i-love-zelda-16 thank you for the tag! I don’t remember when we became moots but I fricking love these tag games and your sense of humor (I don’t reblog 90% of your reblogs I would never).

@palmolli we first interacted via your headcanon that somehow possessed me to un-writer’s block myself. I will be the wall that yaps back to you any day.

@anicomicqueen your comment on my fic did actually make my day/week/month. It’s insane that my writing actually helped me make meaningful interactions with real people.

@aaa-batteryy I don’t know how you deal with me irl or online when I’m dropping insane lore bombs or flooding your feed. Thanks for letting me ramble about fic ideas for a fandom you aren’t in. You were my first moot. You’re an amazing friend.

Thank you all for existing :)

i always mean it when i say i love you btw

And all for the cheap price of 20 rupees or smth (can’t remember my brain is fried I’m so tired lmao)

This is a post of appreciation for the stable guy in BoTW/TotK who keeps being tasked (by me) with retrieving my horse (stuck in dangerous places) and always delivers

Cliffs? Sure

Rivers? Got it

Gleeok fire range? Not a problem

A part of the map where reality breaks and ground no longer exists? Already done

Dude is the most powerful creature in all Hyrule and simply chooses to use his might to fetch my horse, who I've named DUI

Hell yeah! Nothing will ever match the feeling of just wandering through Hyrule and just seeing the views. This game is legendary.

I loaded Breath of the Wild just to share these screenshots with y’all! Enjoy!

No requirement that you says can’t be the Sky in your friend group if you ARE mentally ill though >:)

Made another meme

My friend groupchat be like. Sky is the one of us that isn’t mentally ill.

Yes i’m listening to the song those quotes are from right now :)

the fact that ravioli means two things in this fandom: the former vice president of the 'i hate link' club or two rabbit boys kissing

I made a meme

From my old post

*checks to see if I've reblogged this before* ehhhh never mind. also the last one is the superior way to sleep. if you catch me on the floor not curled up in the fetal position i'm dead.

Skyward Sword

ZZZZZ

I don’t even… how do I… help me. Downfall duo might be breaking me lol.

Thunder

Old sketch

Hyrule closed Legend's eyes because he knew that Legend was traumatized by thunder.

Ravio being the sweet wide-eyed innocent bunny and Legend with the ‘i don’t wanna be here’ glare is sending me

Gift for @sprite-and-the-bunnydragons !! The second I read about bunny Ravio I just... I HAD to draw him. And with drawing one scene came another... And another...

Everyone, please go read Two Bunnies for the Price of One on ao3! It's really funny and I highly recommend it (and honestly any of her other fics)

The hair looks so fricking cool <3

downfall duo

I love the internet part 2.

hey guys can you take care of this thing while i'm gone. he's had a rough day.

I love the internet

gonna be gone for a bit I need you guys to do me a favor and watch over LU Warriors for me

okay see ya

please let the zelda movie be good please let link be at least a quiet protagonist if not silent please let the zelda movie be good

Why You Should Consider Link Being a Silent Protagonist:

Silent Protagonist ≠ always no dialogue

Silent protagonist does = minimal dialogue, grunts, sparse moments of communication, or no dialogue at all. It’s a spectrum.

Mute people are relatable beings you can empathize with

Quiet people are relatable beings you can empathize with

Link is narratively described as quiet and has story reasons for being reserved in the 2 latest iterations of Mainline Zelda and its part of his character development that he opens up and DOES speak more. It’s literally acknowledged in the most popular zelda title (BOTW).

Let me reiterate- its part of his character to say very little or to have story reasons for not speaking up at first!

Link is silent in EOW for Plot Reasons, pointing to this being a possibility continual in plot recognition

Link is pointed to as THE example of silent protagonist outside of like, Gordon Freeman. Nintendo literally is acknowledging that in its most recent and popular zeldas.

The movie will draw a lot of inspiration from BOTW and TOTK and you would be in denial if you thought elsewise

Childrens cartoons, blockbuster action movies, art house films, comics, games, and more have characters who chirp their name more than speak or barely speak at all

Some of the most Lucrative characters in media fall into this category and some would argue make more money than any plot or franchise. R2D2, Chewie, and Grogu are a HONEYPOT and Lucas could probably speak ad nauseam about this if he wasn’t busy weeping about how he’s not getting all of it

Young children’s media does not rely on a lot of words to convey concepts

His Windwaker Design is literally inspired by kids cartoons and animation that relies on emotion not words

As a person who spent decades studying children’s media I can tell you kids respond to action and story that relies on physical acting, facial emotions, cause-and-effect, observation, and may things that do not need words

Samurai Jack, Grogu, Chewie, R2D2, Snoopy, Gromit, Pikachu, Groot, Boomhaur, Onion, Schnitzel, Animal, the Minions, Silent Bob, Driver (from drive), Mad Max (fury road), are all examples of popular characters who chirp, babble, or barely speak and people love the piss out of them

Movies started without audio and again the foundational concepts of most storytelling in movies happened *without dialogue at first*

Physical acting is a theatrical medium that both adults and children respond positively to

Physical acting is the foundation of fight scenes, chase scenes, stunts, and action in general- things that will be highly features in this movie

Animation, Illustration, and Visual story telling LIKE MOVIES is based on *showing, not telling* for 90% of its time.

James baxter, norman rockwell, charlie chaplin don’t need words to carry bankrolls and make you piss yourself in tears. James Dean also inspired an entire hollywood casting standard based on *staring in vibes*

Some of the most emotionally grappling movies and moments in cinema come from no dialogue in the mix. Up is still fucking you up, and the Piano is a rollercoaster of turmoil because of its silent protagonist. There is literally a No Dialogue cut of Fury Road that fucks and is highly praised

We literally have examples in the GAMES where support characters and other protagonists carry the weight of exposition, conversation, and explanation.

Zelda is right there you twerps, she can do the talking even if she is not with link physically. We literally have examples of this in game too. Midna is also right there, carrying the stone cold plot of Twilight Princess on her quipped up bitch noggin

This whole conversational point about it being hard or impossible or a bad idea is an insult to writers, illustrators, musicians, actors, directors, editors, stage designers, story boarders, makeup artists, cameramen, dancers, game designers, extras, special effects artists, puppeteers, marketing departments, toy designers, STUNTMEN, comic book artists, Miyamoto, audience members, children, adults, quiet people, mute people & their loved ones, the established zelda lore, link’s OWN DAMN CHARACTER IN CANON, and yourself if you believe that

have a better imagination, you deserve it!

Be more curious & open hearted, you deserve it!

There’s no excuse for him to not be quiet in some way other than “they didn’t feel like it, creatively” which is valid and totally acceptable and not a big deal, and could absolutely result in a wonderful portrayal of Link!

It's my first time being here on tumblr for a Linked Universe update and oh my gods. I cannot express how incredible it is to see so many people just geeking out over this? I've definitely echo-chambered myself into this slice of the internet but either way, this is such a cool thing we've all got going on here and I wanted to put that thought out into the world. Yes I'm still quite new to tumblr but this community is the reason why I want to be here and contribute to it in the ways that I can. Props to @linkeduniverse for bringing so many people together with this masterpiece. And props to EVERYONE who's been here in the past 9 hours reblogging the update, writing character analyses, making memes, reacting, and just generally being excited about this. And not only for Linked Universe but also thank you to everyone in this corner of the fandom world making goddamn amazing fanfiction, art, comics, headcanons, memes, and everything that I missed.

So yeah, thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Show the amazing people who make this community so great some love. They're awesome. <3
