Seeing as Blue and Green had decided to get one of these, I felt that I shouldn't leave them alone in this endeavour. Feel free to ask me things. Independent, semi-selective Vio Link ask and RP account.
“Histories or fantasy are my usual go-to,” Vio said, grinning. “I am partial to all sorts of reading, however those two are usually the ones that captivate me the most.” He paused a moment, looking almost thoughtful.
“I’ve always found it funny that there is so much that we are able to observe from our history that has occurred and does continue to occur.” He stopped himself short, not sure whether to continue or not. Perhaps a slight deviation in the conversation was in order.
“I do read a number of the scientific journals, when I can. It’s enlightening to be able to explore things that scientists have been working on. Some of their theories perhaps should have been tested more rigorously, in my opinion, but such is the scientific process. Things change all the time, no doubt, others will try to replicate what they are reporting to confirm or deny it.”
Hey vio, will you celebrate halloween this year, or do you not have halloween of in hyrule?
“Halloween?” Vio questioned, searching his memories for what he could remember, if anything, of Halloween. “I believe I remember Red mentioning it once. I may be wrong, but it has been a while.” He sighed, coaxing out what he could remember.
“There isn’t, per-se, a Halloween in Hyrule. Not as much as in the form that you know,” he began. “The closest analogue would be our festival of shadows. It occurs around the same time, mid to late autumn, however there is not such a religious overtone. Light and shadow are accepted as being part of general existence. We mark that by both celebrating the shadows and the light.”
“I know it would be easy to write off shadows as being evil, and there is some evidence in that. A great deal of the bad things which have occurred have all happened in shadow, or shadow magic has been used in some fashion. Not all shadows are bad, however. I find that most of them are misguided. Driven by fear, more than anything else. Sadly, it is the same with the tawdry affair that is the Hyrule-Gerudo relations. After all, we are all just people, so why we cannot get along, I fail to understand.”
Vio paused a moment, wondering if he had related this well enough to be clear. His mind was also wandering to what japes may occur during the festival.
“No doubt Shadow will be in his element,” Vio said, giving a smile. “He will have honestly found some outfit, or mask or other from Nayru knows where and have fun scaring the children. I just hope he doesn’t try to ‘scare Blue into submission’ again.”
Hey Vio! It's me, Rosie. I need to ask you about Hyrule's Technology, you see I am really interested in Hyrule's Technology. Can you please explain it for me? (Came from Blue's ask blog)
“Hyrule’s technology?” Vio paused a moment, pondering how to respond next. “Hyrule’s technology is... convoluted, to say the least. It looks ancient and decrepit, however it is thoroughly modern in many aspects.” Vio smiled softly, before padding over to make himself a drink.
“Would you like one?” He offered. “This is likely going to be a long discussion.”
Returning to a chair, a mug of tea in hand, he sat himself down and began to think.
"Only the goddesses know why we seem to have stuck with roughly the same aesthetic when it comes to decor,” he signed, almost resignedly. “Don’t misconstrue what I am saying, the ‘old’ look is a comfortable one. It blends well, but it makes outsiders think that we are rather more backwards than we are.” Taking a sip of his tea, he thought once more.
“I understand that you have electricity. We have this as well, though the applications are not as obvious. What would be called magic and science go hand in hand. I’m sure your no stranger to the idea that magic is just something that science cannot explain yet. We benefit greatly from the fact that there are the immutable forces that make up Hyrule. The combination of force gems, thought to be crystallised relics of the goddesses power, and the Triforce, grant many great powers that would be seen as un-natural, where you are from.” Pausing again, Vio took another sip from his mug, and looked pensive.
"We do have a wealth of scientific discoveries and endeavours that are not too dis-similar to ones you may have experience with. Honestly, things appear archaic, because that is style that they are constructed in. This is, of course, not touching on any of the magi-tech devices that we have.” Vio paused again, not really sure how to focus his line of discussion further. It was as he paused to think, that another thought caught his attention.
“I am dreadfully sorry,” he said, offering a sheepish smile. “I’ve been prattling on about everything and nothing, without assuring you understand.” He downed the rest of his tea, and offered a sly grin. “Besides, if we are to be discussing things at length, I may have to make a pot.”
[TRANSCRIPT: I don’t know how active this blog is any more, or if mun is even a part of the fandom nowadays, But I really appreciated it’s existence. I was still figuring out my own ask blog when it popped up, and I liked how well Vio was portrayed here. Dunno if you wanted or needed to hear this, but I appreciate what you’ve done]
(( @ask-starryblue, I’m sorry to respond like this, but as you see messenger is being a butt. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this. I’m overjoyed that you liked what I’ve done and how I’ve portrayed Vio. I am still very much a part of the fandom, however life hasn’t been kind to me for a while. This only got exacerbated by the responses to the pandemic. I intend to come back to the blog, because I miss Vio. I do notice that there is an ask from you that I need to reply to. I’ll be honest, re-opening the blog to see this was such an amazing feeling. I can’t thank you enough for this.))

“I’m so glad to have you around, you save me from being a complete dumbass.” -Green (throws my boy at high speeds) (@4ceherogreen)
“I’m glad that I’m able to do that for you,” Vio replied, giving a soft smile. “Though do give yourself some credit. The fact that you will listen is a testament to how you are as a person.” Vio stopped himself there, lest he say something he shouldn’t.
Have you ever thought of taking in an apprentice of some sort in the future? You seem like you would be a good teacher/mentor.
“Thank you for your vote of confidence, however I’ve never considered it,” Vio said, softly. “In any case, I have no idea what I could teach. I have no specialism beyond what Gree... Uh, Link already had. All I have is that I am astute in my reading and comprehension. Hardly skills I can impart to an apprentice.” There are things that he could teach, however what he lacked was what he felt was the right amount of skill to be able to deliver it in a meaningful way.
Vio blinked a few times in surprise. He had no indication that this was going to happen prior, so this action stopped him dead in his tracks. Confusedly, he looked at Red, not sure what on earth was going on.
“Is that so?” Vio asked. “In that case, thank you. I’ll admit I’m more accustomed to you giving hugs than kisses, but this is a nice change.” Sense told him to not push it further, lest he embarrass Red further. That said, this was probably just platonic, right?
