RULES & INFO
FOR ASKS: Please refrain from sending sexual, or threatening asks. Bigotry will not be tolerated either.
ROLEPLAY: Feel free to interact with Medoh in character or out of character.
ART: Not all of my responses will have art as I am sadly EXTREMELY busy, and I usually don't have time to draw. Not only that, but none of my art is digital, so it takes even longer to do in a satisfactory way for me, sorry!
Happy Pride Month everyone!

Happy June Medoh, how are you supporting your trans gay son this pride month?

PREPARING QUERY AS TO STATUS OF CHAMPION "REVALI" . . .
Ahem. Good morning.
I'm about to leave on a venture for a while. Could you patch up this crack in my beak before I leave? Back in my day it was either hot metal or tree resin, both of which I lack the tools to correctly wield. I'm unsure if you have a different process nowadays.
I also wondered if your husband may want this. I don't want it anymore, and I know he has an affinity for collecting things related to the stories he grew up with. I figured perhaps it would appeal to him.
Good mor-
Oh my, Revali. What happened to you? Did you decide to go fight a group of lynels?
You're leaving? For how long exactly, and what of Link? Is she going with you or staying here while you take this trip? You're not leaving until I've had a look at all your wounds. They look terrible. Are some of these...arrow wounds?
What? Revali, Teba is not going to take your scarf. He admires you greatly, yes, but I will not allow him to take something so important.
Come, we'll see what we can do for that beak, but you have some explaining to do. You seem distraught, and running away when you seem to be in a bad mental state is not healthy. That's a recipe for something far worse to happen and I cannot in good faith allow you to do that to yourself.
Or to Link, for that matter. I don't think she'd handle losing you again well at all.
Sure. A group of Lynels. Let's go with that.
I'm heading to Hebra peak, and then further north to camp in the icelands and train. I don't know how long I shall be gone for. I'm sure you'll all manage fine without me for a while - you have for the past hundred years after all.
I've disconnected myself from Medoh and set up Teba as her backup pilot in case of emergencies. She shall just circulate the same route up there until I return. Link will survive too, she's already left the Village. We've ceased our courting. Hylians don't mate for life the same way that Rito do, she can fall in love again with someone else at some point. This is for the best. We aren't right for one another.
Do as you must. I've bandaged everything appropriately though already and applied a splint to my ankle. I supose perhaps you can offer some advice on my wing. It caught a shock arrow and even now the arrow has been removed, the muscles keep spasming, it's making it hard to fly. It was in the wound for extended time so it's left a burn, I know one shouldn't wrap a burn but the sight and smell of burnt feathers takes me back to...things I need to not remember right now.
I shall simply throw the scarf away otherwise, he may as well have it. I suspect it likely truly belonged to one of his ancestors anyway, don't you know? I simply stole away the position prematurely.
I'm quite fine, really. I just need some time to....to clear my head. Back in my training days as a youth, any time a soldier lost their nerve they'd be sent out to do some wilderness survival to screw their head back on straight.
I see... I'll be sure to inform Teba, but I'm sure you're aware he's been busy, yes? And I wouldn't say Rito Village spent the last 100 years without you. Throughout that time, you were up on Medoh - as a spirit, yes, but there nonetheless - watching over us and waiting for the day the Calamity would end.
You've...what? Oh, Revali... I think you have a poor understanding of how Hylians mate. And regardless of how other Hylians do, Link is not like them, you know that as well as I. That girl has looked at you the same way as she does now as she did the day you revived. Even before then, it wasn't hard to catch her staring up at Medoh, not when she would sit on the landing all day. She won't find someone else because she doesn't want someone else.
And as for you, do not give me that. These past few months, having her by your side, even with all the crazy stuff that has happened to you, it's the happiest I have ever seen you. Something made you decide that you needed to leave her and it certainly isn't because you don't love her.
In all of Hyrule, if there are any two that belong together, it's you and Link. I truly believe that, and I know you deserve that happiness, you both do.
...
I see. There's not much to be done about the spasming, but we can clear the poor feathers and apply a burn ointment. An herbal tea meant to help relax the muscles should help with the spasming, but I wouldn't recommend trying to fly until it heals.
Stole the position? Revali, Teba and Tulin were born 100 years after your death. Princess Zelda would not have chosen you as our Champion if she believed the position belonged to someone else. While I believe you were much too young for the position, it comes from the fact that I'm a mother and I worry about the younger Ritos. Outside of your age, truly only you are fit to pilot the Divine Beast Vah Medoh, you proved that 100 years ago to the princess, no?
That scarf is yours, proof of the princess's trust in you.
This isn't 100 years ago, Revali. We no longer do that as it doesn't actually help. Speaking to someone, such as a doctor, is more likely to help than secluding yourself to the very thoughts that drove you away.
And since you will not be leaving Rito Village with these injuries... I think you should say what's really on your mind, Revali. You haven't made eye contact with me this entire time. You're hurting, and the only way to make it feel better is to let it out.
You cannot stop me from leaving if I simply desire to, I am stronger and faster than you.
However, I concede that I, at the very least, need to sleep for a few hours before I can make the arduous journey.
Ugh you don't.....you don't get anything.
Regardless of what your husband may believe, I'm no hero. I'm not a real Rito Warrior.
I do everything I do for selfish and petulant reasons. I became a warrior to show off and to feel good about myself.
Protecting the village is the only thing that makes me feel good about myself. I was born wrong. Nobody ever wanted me, I was a terrible burden to everyone until I was discovered to be a talented archer. I became drunk on that high of feeling loved for something- for being wanted and needed for my skills. That's why I trained. I never did it for anyone's sake but my own.
I'm selfish. I step on others to put myself on a pedestal because I'm afraid that if anyone thinks that I am below them then they'll cast me aside.
I'm a talented fighter, sure, but I'm not some divine chosen hero.
I'm not pure of heart, not like Link is. Not like Urbosa, or Mipha, or Daruk are.
I'm judgemental, I'm mean, I hold others to as high of a standard as I hold myself. I take joy in feeling superior to those around me.
I don't deserve her. I have naught to give her. I don't have any money, I don't even have a roost of my own in this era. I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I want to be - but I know that I'm bitter and selfish and I don't....I don't just want to be 'Link's Boyfriend' to everyone.
To be the pitiful mortal so humbly chosen by the great hero who can do no wrong. Standing at her side makes me feel like a nobody. She's the strongest and most capable warrior in all the lands and what am I? Some....some failure who couldn't even defeat one of Ganon's blights. Whom nobody cared enough about to remember. Who isn't even the strongest of his own people. I'm probably the reason we all failed to stop the Calamity the first time. Because I broke the prophesy - because somebody else was supposed to pilot Medoh and I just took their place with my pathetic mortal blood.
I'm just....I'm not good enough. I need to be better. I don't even know where to start. I don't even know if it's worth starting at all. If I am even capable of ever reaching such a high standing without the divinity in my blood to ascend me to such places.
If protecting the village is selfish of you, then you might as well consider every Rito Warrior ever to be seflish.
Revali, you grew up in a different time, preparing for the Calamity. You had to learn how to take care of yourself and if "being selfish" is how you had to do it, to survive in an environment that wasn't in your favor, then so be it because it worked.
Holding yourself and others to a high standard is because those around you have done so to you. Admittedly, at first we had done so as well, but we hadn't known you were only a youth until you revived. We hadn't known much of anything about you, but we do now, even if others are still learning how to nagivate the kind of person you are.
If Link truly cared about those things, she wouldn't have chosen you in the first place. Yet she happily stays with you, regardless of your situation, regardless of the fact that you have to share a roost with others, or that you don't have riches. Also, I've yet to hear anyone refer to you as "just Link's boyfriend" - can't quite say the same for her, with people simply viewing her as your mate.
Is that truly how you feel? Or are you simply scared you can't protect her, especially since she can protect herself in most cases?
Revali, need I remind you that none of the Champions defeated Ganon's blights? "Divine blood" or whatever you think it is that gives them an advantage didn't do anything for them that day. So, tell me, how does that make them superior to you when they "failed" as well? Status is not everything, you were the one to prove that.
Link is also not of divine blood, she's just a girl from the countryside, isn't she?
You're holding yourself to impossible standards, Revali. You already have what you need to "be better", and you were already becoming "better". You're more patient now, calmer, and most importantly, happier. You have a ways to go to have a balance, but you've made an amazing amount of progress in the last half year.
And I'm proud of you for it. We see your progress, Revali, even if you don't see it yourself.
She's not just some girl from the countryside she- she saved the world! She's chosen by the Goddess, she's a rolemodel to everyone in Hyrule because She's their divine hero and- an-
I'm- I'm not becoming 'better', i'm nothing! I'm a burden - I lost someone's chick, I turned giant and broke things, I got posessed on Medoh and hurt people, I lose my nerve at loud sounds and attack people I care about because i'm weak and I can't- I can't just get over my death- I'm bad! Don't you get it? I'm a problem! I'm- i'm awful! Even the very sage of the winds thinks i'm pathetic and awful and-
I'm not- i'm not afraid that I can't protect her. I'm selfish. I'm afraid that when she realises i'm a fraud hiding behind a mask of confidence, then she'll run away, and I want to run first because it feels like it should hurt less because i'm a control freak and I can control this- I can hurt her before she hurts me, like everyone else used to hurt me. I don't....I just don't understand....what someone like her could possibly ever see in....someone like me.
I'm not even nice to her. I wasn't back then and I hardly am now. I don't know why she sticks around. I don't know how to love someone.
It's too late to change things anyway. I already- I- I already blew up at her and sent her away forever. It's all over. I couldn't fix it if I tried. What's done is done and I- I just-
Sorry there's just- something in my eye-

NEW MESSAGES.
I have begun some defragmenting procedures as I have encountered several recurring errors that I do not wish to allow to grow into to much of a problem. Please be aware this will leave me unable to do much of my critical functions until the process is complete. As such, I would like you to help out with certain tasks in the meantime.
It shouldn't take too long.

Medoh, you needn't even ask. You always know you can issue me maintenance tasks. Tis my duty as your pilot to keep you in good working order, of course.
Simply let me know what you want done and I shall get right on it.
Excellent. I require a few things to be done.
One, I need the foliage on my hull trimmed again. Spring brings accelerated growth, meaning the trimming must be weekly.
Two, my joints need oiling.
Three, the giant skulltula has returned and the sentries are offline due to the defragmentation. Please deal with it as soon as possible.
Revali, look outside... It's... beautiful....

...Yeah. I guess the sun is out.... it's nice to feel it's warmth.
For a hundred years I couldn't feel the wind through my feathers and-
How strange.
Watching Champion "Revali" paint these eggs makes me feel a tad nostalgic. Kalia did the same thing with her own trio of fertilized eggs as well shortly after the end of the Calamity.
And yet, I feel as if I had a hand in it somehow. I feel as though I had a hand in bringing them into this world. Yet, I don't have a way to do such a thhhhhhhhh-

What up Revali. It’s my birthday. Want to go to see a heritage steam railway?
This is the coolest shit I've ever seen.
Do you think they'll let us pilot it? If I can drive a divine beast then I bet I can drive this.
Well... I can tell something has gone wrong again, your bio-signature has gotten smaller.
Would you like for me to alert those whom you are trying to get into contact with, Champion "Revali?"
I can hear you perfectly fine, just so you are aware. Our link must be preventing your diminished voice from being lost.
(@askvahmedoh)
Oh thank goodness.
Yes I think i'm experiencing more strange magic again.
Don't alert Link of this - I can tell that he's as exasperated by this nonsense as I am and he needs a break. Instead, would you contact him and tell him that I am aboard you just...grabbing some more arrows. I'm hoping to fix this before he notices.
Instead can you alert Teba or Tulin or someone who can bring me up to you? I fear it would take me a month to reach you flying like this...
Of course I can contact them, sir. I do think Link deserves to know though, don't you? Honesty is important in a relationship, even when there are hardships such as this.
However you do uh... realize I can simply warp you up here, don't you? All you need to do is simply ask, and I will do it.
Just say the word, and I will have you up here immediately.
......Something is amis. You're not Medoh.
Medoh has never called me 'sir'.
Medoh not only knows of my hatred for teleportation, but knows that it can only teleport me from a teleportation pad or via my sheikha slate - which is not currently with me.
Who are you? And how are you impersonating my divine beast? State your intentions immediately!
Am... I not allowed to try and call you new things, Champion "Revali?" I thought I'd try out some new things, including new things to refer to you as.
I apologize if it sounded like I was someone different, I merely wish to try to connect with you a tad more.
As for the warp, I only wished to suggest it as a faster alternative to get up here, as it may prove a little difficult for them to locate you in your current state.
Well... I can tell something has gone wrong again, your bio-signature has gotten smaller.

Your bow's still here, so where are you?
