Link is very disappointed....

[hylianfury]

But really, in general, I- I am not sure how I replied early to anon. I am so flustered. But- I often question if I can even write down anything good, and I am so glad what I make can at least make people feel a bit happy here and there. Thank you all, you're all amazing. Someday I will get a tablet and fully come back, Sunstone is still there waiting, fics have to be written, etc. I don't *plan* to tackle TOTK, if I have to be honest, I'm more invested in botw centric settings, but I still love Zelda so much.

Hi! Wa, it's been a while since I saw your Tumblr or AO3 account, since TOTK came out I got interested in Sidlink again and read some of your stories again, and I didn't remember how good "'Til Death Do Us Part (and that moment can't come soon enough)" was, it left me devastated again but I enjoyed it a lot. And I was wondering if you could give me permission to translate it into Spanish for people who have a hard time understanding English, I would upload it to Wattpad or AO3, only if you give me permission!

Even if I can't upload it to Wattpad or AO3, I wanted to know if I could translate it and make it into a book format, obviously for personal use.

Oh my gosh? Oh dear... I... yes? Please, have all the fun you want with it. I'm actually trying to write *more*. I'm currently writing on Omori and re-finishing the outline of Til Death's sequel down since I noticed some contraditcitons. I actually wanted to DRAW again but my drawing tablet *broke* and I've been stuck in that sense. (and I will only have disposable income starting december.) I just... feel speechless? You have no idea what insane compliment this is for me, as a writer. Thank you. Maybe send me a link when you translate it? I'd love to check on it. Thank you again.

Probably publishing part of the fic tomorrow. May split it in two chapters because the first part is baby groose talks and then there is a literal shift in style to go into actual game stuff. I know i am slow but compared to not writing at all it's improvemeny

[hylianfury]

My Grooselink fic is getting out of hand. It was supposed to be around 1400 words, it's now surpassing the 3000 and I'm so NOT done with it.

It may not come out this weekend, in the end.

[hylianfury]

How about 💚L Sidon?

Glad that you are starting to draw again. Always loved your drawings.

It's been two years since I doodle anything and the first thing I do is attempting Sidon with his stupid head. I'm- thank you for sending it in. Sorry for the delay but I ended up baving more things to do than expected but this was fun!

I’ve always really liked expression challenges like these, so I decided to make my own in time for Valentines Day! Give it a shot!

I need to force myself to drawso go ahead

[hylianfury]

Holy cow idk why but i feel so inspired today.i have not been like that for a very long long way. I can't wait to go back from work

[hylianfury]

i dreamt of skyloft link ad Mipha 's ghosts meeting, with Birdie being hyrule's oldest ghost/guardian and them both looking over the new link as he struggles as he moves toward vah ruta and meets sidon.

I... i will place it away as a future plot bunny

[hylianfury]

I've been steadily forcing myself to write 200 words every day despite a lot of issues going on and Hear Ye, Hear Ye... Grooselink fic probably dropping this weekend.

Or a couple of days after. I'm trying.

[hylianfury]

So.... I may actually come out of my cove at some point. I have a house, I have a job, I have medications, and despite being exhausted all the time I'm... happy? I just miss the fandom.

Zelda wise... I do admit I'm not having a fun time with totk. It's too much. My brain barely handled one open world in botw and it felt... better, somehow, more cohesive? three maps are genuinely sending my brain in overdrive whenever I try to continue it.

I also ended up replaying Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons and now they have a big portion of my brain, sitting there rent free.

for the rest... I am rereading all my fanfictions, I want to restart writing, it's just been... a while since I put anything down into words and it's being more complex than I expected? It just doesn't flow naturally as it used to do.

Sunstone is... still in hiatus here because I hate anything I draw and it's being... intense? I guess it's natural after more than a year without doodling anything.

So... yeah, still alive.

[hylianfury]

My disability claim passed today, I will receive my official documentation in two months. I am just... so incredibly relieved.

[hylianfury]

Sketch of today. Still rewarming up to actually draw. Anyway, I see a lot of trans positivity on my dash, so have my Engineer Link in those trying times. 

[hylianfury]

I just wanted to draw them together. Link is sitting on Groose’s lap, btw, and he’s lika  cat. He’s like... away most of the time, but whenever he decides to come home he’s all “pay attention to me” and cuddly. I just wanted to doodle something soft.

[hylianfury]

Me: I try to doodle sunstone Also me: two minutes later I’m ALL in a GroosexLink mood

[hylianfury]

Practicing a little because I really missed my boy. Planning to go back drawing Sunstone and writing now that I feel less sad/depressed/everything. I still don’t like my style and I have countless limitations but I miss Link.

I just need to remember HOW TO DRAW SIDON, why are you so hard my shark boy?

And this fic is back from the dead. Moving one little step at time, but... moving finally further.
