Sooo anyone got some good Legend of Zelda fic recommendations? LU or no, I enjoy both. I've just kinda run through a bunch of the top stuff on AO3 and now it's getting to be a bit of a pain to find something new.
I think all the modern persona protagonists deserve to be a little bit of a God, as a treat. We already have Makoto being a door, maybe Yu could be a wall, and Ren is a carpet. But like, a really special wall and carpet, you know? Ones that could kill God.
Y'all ever find a comic that you think is pretty dang good and you enjoy a decent amount so you follow the account that's posting it and still the comic is good but the person making it is,, just kinda an asshole?
Like not even a bad person they're just kinda condescending or rude or smth when perhaps answering asks or talking about their comic on its tag and you really don't think that's worth abandoning their generally pretty good work for but it just kinda sours you to the whole thing? And you can understand why they would say something so rude/condescending because making a comic and dealing with people being kinda dumb is stressful but it still makes the comic itself feel.. blehh.
That's happened to me at least 5 times now, it's a strange phenomenon.
Y'all my brother snatched my phone out of my hand earlier during the SINGLE, SOLITARY TIME I was writing a Ryomina kiss- not even anything spicy, just a kiss, and he was like "nope" and gave me my phone back. I was both mortified and annoyed because he said Ryoji's name was a typo because apparently he doesn't know anything about persona 3. I made this to cope.
Y'all it was literally the first time I ever wrote two characters just kissing, how was that when he decided to read my work for the first time????
I don't get it and am politely asking for explanation pwease
i am once again putting this opinion out there
I don't understand entirely how to feel about this, but sure 👍
Take this quiz to find out what Slander/Flanderized Version of the LU Boys you are! There are over 20 routes, so feel free to redo the quiz (but be authentic the first time cuz its funnier that way). https://uquiz.com/d1e6KV EDIT: Master List of Personalities
Got these lads some better references! Not complete ones, but they're still pretty good.
Here are the 8 Links I'm planning on including! I have general characterization concepts for all the others, but they were being kinda annoying designs. I might include em as I continue to figure out this AU, but for now here's what I got!
Our very first hero! I don't really consider the SS prequel manga canon here so Sky's the very first holder of the Hero's spirit. He's a very kind soul, protective of those he cares for and holding the endless determination and courage of any hero.
After the end of Skyward Sword, Sky's taken up a bit of an 'ambassador to the surface' type role, educating those who've come down with while Zelda spends as much time as she can with her family on Skyloft. Though the scars from his fight with Demise still twinge, Sky's happy to move forward with his life on the surface.
Minish is our youngest member, but that doesn't mean you can underestimate him. Minish is quiet, playful, and endlessly curious. He's the best spy this chain has, able to shrink down to the size of a mouse and be completely invisible to everyone but fellow children.
After saving Zelda from being encased in stone and having her light force drained, Minish simply seeks to spend his time enjoying his childhood with his best friend and learning to forge a sword as good as the four sword.
Mask is our resident angst, his life has been far too hard. Mask is mysterious, closed off, and talented. With the body of a teenager and the mind of a young adult, this lad has plenty of tricks up his sleeve.
Resuming his travels after Termina, Mask finds himself looking for somewhere to belong. He's travelled to Labrynna, Holodrum, Koradai, and yet the only place he really felt any sense of family remains in that strange war with Tune and Captain. Perhaps, someday, he'll find his way back to them.
Tune's our resident navigator! He can read and create maps and starcharts like no other, plus he knows his way around a boat. Despite the more pirat-y aesthetic, Tune's really a sweetheart. Sure, he enjoys finding abandoned treasure and sailing, but he's hardly a ruthless bounty hunter or thief. He just loves meeting people, and wants to help anywhere he can. A trait practically required for the hero life.
After his adventures, Tune's living a life of travel on the Great Sea. He has his own boat, but broadly he sails with Tetra, the two finding buried treasures from Hyrule. He's always had that itch to go somewhere, to do something, and maybe he's about to get exactly what he wants.
Wolf's a bit of a mysterious edgy man himself, but this time it's all appearances. Our resident furry is just a big huggable rancher with a protective streak when it comes to his family. He's amazing with animals, and with the help of a certain amazing nose, he can track basically anything.
I'm diverging from canon a lot here. Midna's never shattered the mirror of twilight in this universe, she's just not around in the light world because it would hurt to be anything more than a shadow there. Instead, after their adventure Wolf and her hang out frequently. Wolf's pretty content with his lot in life, he's got his family, his home, and his best friend. Really, what more could he ask for?
Unabashed favorite character alert, Four's a bit of an asshole. Like, they're very heroic and frankly, often right, but they've still got an arrogance problem. They're fiercely loyal and incredibly smart, and will take the role as supposed leader because frankly, no one else wants the title.
After returning the Four Sword with Vaati and Ganon completely obliterated, Four's gone back to their life as a knight. There's still a fierce purple ache in their chest for a certain Shadow, but the teal confidence easily shoves that to the side in favor of being the perfect warrior. Now, Four's rising through the ranks of Hyrule's guard, ready for whatever challenge comes next.
Wild fits their name very well. They're quick to explore every mountain and valley, loot every chest, and find every korok. Incredibly different from the Link from before the Calamity, they share memories but not so much experiences. Wild is the best archer in the group, even without their champion ability.
I can't quite decide whether I want Wild to be pre or post TOTK, but it doesn't make too terribly much of a difference. After his adventure he continues to explore Hyrule and the lands beyond it. He's verrryyy close with his Zelda, and the two like to do a bit of mad science with Purah every so often. He's happy with his new lease in life, but if the chance comes to explore something new? Well, Wild's definitely going to take it.
Cap's here! And he's a bit of a mess. Traumatized from his fights with Cia and Dark Link, Captain has trouble being confident in himself at all anymore. He's always been naturally confident, but ever since that first battle with Dark, Captain's been suppressing that part of himself. He's a very skilled leader and tactician, with the most experience working with a large group.
After the war Captain.. didn't really know what to do with himself. His friends had left, and there was no longer anything to fight against. He decided to dedicate himself to being a guard, but he still felt a little empty. He's never really moved on from the events of the war, but maybe soon he'll return to some old friends.
I GOT TO PET THE DOG MY LIFE IS COMPLETE
IT'S THE DOG IT'S THE DOG IT'S THE DOG
HE'S WAGGING HIS TAIL AND SMILING FGHGBB I LOVE HIM I WILL MURDER FOR HIM
SOMEONE HURT THE DOG I'M GOING TO RIOT
Also they said the dog might be a persona user so.. are we going to give the dog a gun?
You know that one project that you want to constantly update everyone on because you're so proud of it and you think it's so cool, but you don't want to spam everyone because that'd be annoying?
So here's an animation for my Animation 2 class, working on making the character with rough blocks and spheres for easy rotation & placement & size consistency, crap like that. We're basically doing a MAP for our project, it's really fun.
It's not plagiarism if I give blanket permission to everyone to write this if they want to! I would write it myself but I have... 16 WIPs including several longfics and I refuse to start another wip until I get a couple of em finished.
Ryoji Mochizuki palace where it's not Tartarus but actually a Cathedral.
Everywhere you look, it's dedicated to the Great Seal. Stained glass windows made in their image line the walls, statues carved into a familiar teenager hung by chains. Their story is depicted like a religious text, with Ryoji himself as the devil. There to trick the seal into pursuing the full moon shadows, to lie his way into being the seal's friend, to tempt the Great Seal away from delivering salvation to the world. It does not matter that Ryoji was missing his memories, that he was doing whatever he could to help his dearest friend, he was always a monster. One that was unworthy of the Seal's forgiveness, of their mercy.
Ryoji's shadow can always be found crying in front of a depiction of the Great Seal. He begs for someone to please take their revenge, to punish him for what he's done, it's all his fault, he killed the Great Seal, they would still be alive if not for him. He cannot let you take his treasure, he cannot let you take away his guilt. When you fight Ryoji, he appears as a grotesque replica of the Nyx Avatar. There is no more elegance, no more ethereal beauty to be found in Nyx's Appraiser, he is simply a monster.
Ryoji's treasure is the protagonist's evoker. A representation of how they fought to save the world, and how they accepted death to do so. Ryoji could not accept that death, so he clung to it. He clung to their memory instead of facing them himself, because he felt too much guilt.
Name: Ryoji Mochizuki
Location: Gekkoukan High School's rooftop
