Gale’s Mouse Hole

My pinned post was accidentally deleted some weeks ago, so it seems wise to rewrite it.

Hello, I am known as Gale or Mouse. I am an adult, I go by he/him and occasionally they/them, and I am involved in a steady relationship. I quite like to write and I am growing more comfortable with traditional art, specifically watercolour. Reblogs on my art are currently disabled due to Tumblr’s changes being problematic to artists.

I am a fan of The Legend of Zelda and my writing largely reflects this. I especially enjoy villainous characters, in particular Vaati, while Cia and Ghirahim are both a close second. I also dabble in writing for Linked Universe and have participated multiple times in the fandom Write-A-Thon. I may be found in its community Discord server under the name tempestmouse.

Aside from The Legend of Zelda, I also enjoy such video games as Pokémon, Monster Hunter, Etrian Odyssey, and Animal Crossing, among others. I also enjoy TTRPGs such as Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder and have a great fondness for pet rats and mice. I may not use Tumblr much beyond gathering things I enjoy here, but if you would like to talk I welcome questions or discussion about my writing or other relevant topics.

Please be warned that I do suffer from a handful of mental health issues which may at times be reflected in my creative works or the content I reblog here.

Minish (half-fairy) Veran. I leaned into her fae heritage and loosely based certain parts of her design upon a Great Fairy.

A silly sketch which I decided to complete. Ganondorf, suddenly faced with a positive pregnancy test, greatly regretting his life choices. This is part of a semi-modern AU with which I experimented but have set aside.

My most recent painting; Minish Ganondorf, pictured in the outfit voted most iconic.

You create the characters.

You design their personalities, their past, their dynamics.

And then they refuse to behave

the way you planned.

At some point you stop arguing with them

and just take notes.

Another freehand sketch. This one was inspired by the song ‘The Line’ by Twenty One Pilots.

I may share some of my sketches here as well. This was something of an experiment in using shapes and lines with no reference. It is not as refined as I may have normally made it, but still turned out rather well.

A Minish Zant to go along with Ghirahim. His outfit was modified slightly (and his weapons greatly).

[galesmousehole]

After being put off from creating new variants of Minish, I began to draw individual characters as Minish instead. Here is Ghirahim.

Something I don’t believe I ever shared here; a design for a tundra Minish based on a woolly mouse.

[galesmousehole]

I may begin sharing my art here again. I cannot wrap my mind around how to find creators or draw more attention to my own art on Bluesky. I may also re-enable reblogs. If the update is reinstated and Tumblr becomes hostile to artists once again, I will just disable them as I did before.

I have several pieces to share, but I will try to spread them out.

I am pleased with this one and would like for more people to see it.

RULES: make a new post with the names of all the art/writing files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous, and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and find you post a snippet or tell them something about it!

This may be somewhat difficult as I rarely title projects before completion and none of mine currently have one, but I can offer the default title as appearing in their folder; i.e. the first few words.

Zant, the King of Twilight - or, more accurately... (Chapter nine of Endless Sundown.)

The need to change itched incessantly beneath... (Shapeshifter Twilight.)

"Four rooms for the night, please." Time slid... (Warriors struggling with alcoholism.)

I hope it is acceptable to bypass tagging as I am unsure of who to tag. If you would like to do this, consider yourself tagged.
