I’m back with more bullshit punchlines
when the fuck did i draw this
Went back and found it because the proportions were bothering me so much so here’s a tweaked version
I’m back with more bullshit punchlines
would girahim recognize others that were around during the time before hyrule like beedle?
Okay, so this one is something I've thought about a lot, but only after I got myself into a corner with how I wrote out that first exchange.
Basically, I think that as a spirit and as a sword, he can sense Hylia's blessings in the same way that Fi can sense malice. So, he would be able to recognize, for example, Zelda and Impa's souls, because they're both tied to and protected by Hylia. With people like beedle, he might recognize some resemblance, but I don't think it would stand out any more than some sense of deja vu.
As for Link, I think he recognizes him to some extent, but because Link is neutral by nature and only serving under Hylia (rather than being her like Zelda), he doesn't have that immediate repulsion. Plus, I think the zonai arm might throw him off as a powerful and divine presence, but not inherently light-affiliated.
As a side note on the "sensing blessing like Fi senses malice", I think it'd be fun if his sword got an attack boost in shrines/divine beasts. Fi would glow and do extra damage because of ganon's curse, but Ghirahim would do so because of the underlying divine build.
AU where everything is the same except for Ghirahim is literally a bastard sword (an actual thing lmao) and not just metaphorically
You jest but that’s how I’ve been justifying to myself drawing link holding the demon blade with one hand all this time. It’s not a bug it’s a feature etc etc
girahim drinkin shiekah juice out of a sports water bottle is a funny image to me
Come to hyrule, we have magical Gatorade that you can drink instead of going to college

Draconification, but instead it turns you into one of those sheikah frogs
Welcome to the club sword boy
I originally only set my icon to [Link going :0] as a placeholder because I didn't have much comic art drawn yet, but it ended up working so that he points to things on my dash and I for one find that incredibly charming
Question: if the twink gets a Zonai-themed redesign in your AU, does Fi get one aswell?
I double-checked your piece with Zelda and Fi, and it looked like she might have had a Zonai crest? But it was hard to tell.
She does! The one with her and zelda was the first comic I posted, so I just made up a simple alteration on the spot, vs the ones with ghirahim where I designed his outfit in more detail before putting him in the comic. I should probably give her a better redesign sometime lol

Actually yknow what. I'm having actual motivation to do comic stuff rn. I think that engaging with it in a way that isn't laced with feelings of "oh but I haven't updated in a while" is helping. Anyways I want to keep this up, give me weapon/item fusion ideas or something
Fusion post
is girahim picky about what he allows to be fused to him?
Had to grab my laptop for this one bc my shaky hands can't do long responses on mobile lol. So, winded avid rambles incoming:
I think that in order to answer this I have to figure out what weapon fusion would look like on his end. I've had a few different thoughts, which I'm just gonna run through real quick here.
Option A: He uses the fused object as a weapon. With spears and stuff this isn't a big problem, but when you start to get into other items, it can get confusing. If Link fuses a korok leaf does ghirahim just suddenly have a fan? Can he throw it out? Who knows
Option B: Ghirahim has some control over the fused item and can alter it to his liking. Swords often transform into sabers when Link isn't looking, and precious gems find their way into a new set of earrings.
Option C (the one I lean towards): When something is fused to the demon blade, Ghirahim's spirit form is directly affected. This starts out with simple things, such as fused monster fangs manifesting in place of his regular teeth (this also has the practical effect of boosting his attack in battle. idk maybe he's biting people. that's not any of my business), but can also be things that give him status effects, like a topaz allowing him to channel lightning similar to how he did in sksw's fight with Demise.
To answer the question: It depends on how fusion mechanics work for him. If he's just holding the item, I think he might find some things annoying but ultimately not worth any bloodshed over (remarks and monologues still on the table). If he has control over it, I don't think he'd be picky at all, and maybe he wouldn't even notice it because his magic changes the item before he can do anything about it. If it's the third one, I think he'd dislike some items but his self-image would ultimately override any feelings of that sort. I mean, he sees himself as a perfect being, so to be brought down from grace by something so simple as a fused monster part? Not even possible for him
Just hook him up to the sheikah slate! I'm sure he can update his database from that
Hit him with ye old USB drive
Though I guess the follow-up question is where the port would be. I guess you could just plug it straight into his core and hope it transfers.
Alternatively, bring back the sheikah knowledge juice from botw that would give you a small amount of data for every droplet. Let him marinate in the stuff and I bet it’d bring him right up to date
his database is out of date? better hook him up to a skyview tower!
FUCK you *shoots your sword spirit at 90mph into the sky*
the thing i like about your girahim interpretation is that he does the calculations in his head and and chooses the most extra way to convay that information. if fi is autism, girahim is autism + adhd and as someone with autism and adhd, its a mood.
I headcanon that he's similar to Fi in that he automatically taps into his internal databases in order to find the "best" way to go about his goal, but will consciously ignore that option and pick one that appeals to him more personally. For example, the best option in the sksw Earth Temple probably would have been to follow Zelda right away and let Link stumble across Scaldera on his own, but he chose instead to vent at Link, losing him the trail he was following in the process.
In the comic, there's an added layer of fun because all of his databases are so outdated. His idea of a goron comes from Gorko, who's a well-read researcher traveling the world alone, whereas the wild era gorons are their own civilization with a booming ore industry. So not only is he ignoring the data he draws, but a lot of the stuff he does have is just straight-up wrong (such as, for example, not even recognizing his fated rival after aforementioned rival literally introduces himself as the rival).
It's fun to think about! Maybe I'll do something with the hyrule compendium, and have him go on his own little research quest. Maybe some of the researchers just hack into his brain (?) to get historical information and to bring him up-to-date. Lots of possibilities there.
i have just learned of and become completely obssessed with your this bitch is back AU. how would the girahim react to his first time riding one of links absurdly dangerous zonai builds?
Groosenator ptsd, probably
Most of the content of this one was in the tags lol
