I think that we as a society should get more comfortable with the idea that sometimes our friends will be attracted to us and sometimes we will be attracted to our friends and nothing needs to come of that.
You don't have to date. You don't have to stop being friends. You can just keep hanging out. Self control and respect exists.
And sometimes you will date your friend and figure out that your dynamic worked better when you were friends. And then you can go back to being friends. It's really quite simple. Mature and cool, even.
Warnings: Veryvery suggestive, Y/n is sassy and cocky as hell :>

Everyone was surrounding the small campfire Wild had setup, Wind already fast asleep in his bedroll. He seemed exhausted from the lack of rest from the past few days, almost immediately in deep sleep the second he hit the cushioned fabric.
Time chuckled at something Hyrule said, "Alright then, how do you lot usually cope with something if there's no immediate solution to something?"
Wild stares into the fire, "I set things on fire... or blow them up. Whatever's easiest."
Legend mumbles, "I throw everything and anything."
Time groans slightly, "Ok my wording was terrible. How do you healthily and safely cope with something not going your way?"
"I play my harp-"
"Masturbation." you state, not expecting anyone to hear. Apparently you were wrong, because all 8 men's eyes were wide and piercing you.
Hell, even Legend looked surprised a bit.
"Hey, you said healthily and safely, and I healthily and safely touch myself. That's my response."
You lean back against the tree you were sitting in front of, eyeing the group. You chuckled, looking at your fingernails.
"Interesting. Well! I'll be heading to bed, nighty-night lads." you waved your fingers at them, swaying your hips purposefully as you made your way to your bedroll.
You stripped your outer tunic, letting it rise to just under your chest.
You tousled your hair, all while keeping half-lidded eye contact with them, biting your lip for a little extra teasing.
You laid down in your bedroll, still facing them.
"I get it, adventuring is hard."
Before turning away from them for the night, you chuckle darkly before saying,
Um, hi hello, im just gonna... leave this here.. take care of him for me thx <3
an extra gift for @captaincreative from the LU gift exchange this year 𫶠(pls lmk if this is you on here)
Hopefully these are higher quality than what ended up in the discord </3
This is what happens when you draw Fierce while listening to Lana Del Rey apparantly..
The inpsiration to just make him truly look like a divine man took me over for literal hours đ bitch would NOT let me go
(ngl it still might take over again today đ having Lana songs stuck in my head is not helping)
I did redraw 2 BOTW screenshots, (*not traced or just colored over, i just put it beside my drawing and stole the palettes)
but the hooded Fierce is actually based on a statue of two lovers, specifically the man looking down at his lover while holding them, and the knight Fierce is inspired by a lady knight photo i saw on pinterest <3
and with that im leaving before i get called a simp on main-
Request: Hi! Here's a couple of ideas I love: how would each of the Chain react to hearing you sing for the first time? Or (assuming you're a regular human here) how would they react to your more rounded ears?
︜ęŚęˇâĄęˇęŚď¸ś
Chain Reacting to Human! Reader's Ears ę¨ď¸ Here ę¨ď¸
Character(s): Entire Chain (Linked Universe)
Contains: gn!reader, fluff, reader that's good at singing, chain being whipped for reader
Word Count: ~600
︜ęŚęˇâĄęˇęŚď¸ś
á°áŠ One word; enchanted
á°áŠ It would be a surprise for them to hear your singing voice for the first time, whether it be to soothe one of the boys (Wind or Wild, most likely) after a nightmare, to entertain, or simply because you're bored, it would catch all of their attentions immediately
á°áŠ Time would be surprised by your singing voice, but he wouldn't show it as much as the others, simply listening quietly and silently hoping that you don't stop
á°áŠ After he hears you sing for the first time, he'd think about the soothing lilt of your voice for a long while, and if he feels close enough with you, he may ask you to sing for him
á°áŠ Twilight would be charmed by your voice, thinking of how lovely it sounds and how much more beautiful it would be if you were singing just to him, with his head in your lap
á°áŠ He'll want to hear you sing often after that, but like Time, he'll be hesitant to ask unless you're close with him
á°áŠ Warriors would be pleasantly surprised when he heard you sing, not expecting you to have such a nice voice
á°áŠ He'd compliment you genuinely, but he'd also take the opportunity to be flirty with you, likening your voice to that of a siren's, and asking on multiple occasions after that for you to serenade him
á°áŠ Sky would be flustered by your singing voice
á°áŠ It's just so...pretty (doesn't matter what kind of voice you have,) your voice is more enrapturing than his Zelda's
á°áŠ (He'd daydream about laying his head in your lap and napping while you sing to him)
á°áŠ Wild would love listening to you sing
á°áŠ He'd be completely willing to drop whatever he's doing to listen to you sing
á°áŠ He's also prone to falling asleep on you if you sing to him (Can you blame him? Your voice is irresistably soothing)
á°áŠ Legend would act like your voice was nothing special, but he'd secretly hope to hear you sing more often
á°áŠ Another one that gets a little sleepy when you sing to him, but he will fight for his life not to fall asleep
á°áŠ If he knows you won't tease him for it, he'd tell you how nice he finds your voice (in private)
á°áŠ Hyrule would be very upfront about how much he loves your singing voice, and about asking you to sing for him
á°áŠ He finds it to be relaxing, and he compliments you every time he hears you sing
á°áŠ Wind is probably the most obvious about his feelings here, being that he loves loves loves how you sing
á°áŠ He'd ask you all sorts of questions, like how'd you learn to sing like that? And how'd you get so good? And could you sing some more? Could you teach him?
á°áŠ Might be a little shy about asking at first but he'll quickly warm up to asking you to sing for him, especially to go to sleep
á°áŠ If you sing a lullaby for him he's out in seconds, drooling everywhere
á°áŠ Four would find your singing cute (again, regardless of what kind of voice you have) and he'd tell you as much
á°áŠ Or at least that he likes your singing, he might not be bold enough to tell you he thinks it's cute, but you may notice him paying special attention anytime you decide to sing
Diversity among hylians seems to be very low, so I ask you to please headcanons of the chain with a human reader who has vitiligo and maybee heterochromia. Please, please, that's all I need!
Ah, thatâs true! Hylians, for all their magic and divine connections, lack a lot of the diversity that humans have. (Even if they have the funkiest hairstyles at times)
I guess at first, they donât get it.
Theyâve certainly never seen anything like it before.
The patches of lighter skin standing out against their natural tone? The two different colored eyes? Itâs so far outside of normal Hylian traits that theyâre just staring the first time they meet Reader.
Not in a bad way! Theyâre just so confused but the differences. (They adjust as they always do.)
Wind is the first to ask. (Zero filter after all)
Blunt as always he goes âDid you get cursed?â
(Cue Warriors smacking him upside the head.)
And Reader would laugh, though and reapond. âNope. Itâs just how I was born.â
Sky would be tilting his heads and say âWait, itâs natural?â
Hyrule is quietly intrigued. (Half fae boy is kinda obsessed.)
Heâd be like âSo you were just⌠blessed with two different eye colors? And patterns on your skin?â
And Reader would be like âBlessed?â Theyâd snort. âI wouldnât call it that.â
But Hyrule would.
(He probably ends up fully convinced that Readwr is some sort of celestial being thatâs just pretending to be human.)
Twilight (when everyone is way more comfortable with each other) actually reaches out to touch your skin. (With permission, of course.)
The difference in texture is interesting to him. Itâs not really different from the rest of Readerâs skin, but the contrast is so mesmerizing.
âDoes it⌠change?â
âSometimes,â Theyâd shrug. âSpreads a little, but nothing crazy.â
Twilight wouod be so fascinated. His own markings only appeared when he used the Shadow Crystal, so seeing someone with permanent ones they were born with is something else.
Sky thinks theyâre literally kissed by the heavens.
No, really.
He genuinely believes that their skin is like clouds drifting across the sky.
He gets so poetic about it, too. âItâs like the sky at dawn⌠patches of light breaking through the darkness.â
Legend: âYouâre making it weird.â
Sky: âIâm appreciating the beauty of nature, shut up.â (Which I personally wouod find funny)
As for heterochromia I thiiiink, Warriors and Legend notice it first.
Warriors, because heâs trained to pick up details.
Legend, because heâs just perceptive as hell. (Not that the others arent but I think everyone is heavily distracted by the vitiligo.)
Legend would go âWait, were your eyes always different colors?â
âUh. Yeah?â
Cue them both narrowing their eyes like theyâre trying to figure out if Readerâs messing with them.
Wind and Wild immediately love it.
âWhoa! Thatâs so cool!â
âCan you see differently out of each eye?â
âDo things look different?â
(Reader has to physically stop them from shining a lantern in your face to âcheck.â)
Time kinda thinks itâs an omen.
âŚNot in a bad way, necessarily, but in the way that his gut tells him youâre important.
Like⌠by that point Reader was already significant to them, but this just adds to it.
Heâs seen plenty of strange things in his time, but a mortal with two different eyes? Thatâs has to mean something ya know?
Four is intrigued from a more analytical standpoint.
Four: âSo, you were born with this?â
Reader: âYep.â
Four: âIt doesnât affect your vision?â
Reader: âNope.â
Four: âFascinating.â
(He will absolutely study their eyes in different lighting, making notes to compare them.)
All in all, they adore it. (And it is inevitable that creeps and weirdos will try to nab such a unique beauty when they go era hopping so it ends up with them being a biiit over protective with Reader. But hey! Stories to tell friends over drinks eh?)
Hello, hello, in keeping with the theme of differences between humans and hylians, what about the chain with a fem/gn human reader with curly hair and vitiligo? In Hyrule there doesn't seem to be much diversity in terms of hair or skin. I don't even think curly hair exists there and I think the chain's reaction to those features would be interesting.
SO real, im not confident from the clips ive seen outside of Botw and OG loz (the only two ive played so far) that there's even been a Side Character or NPC with anything more curly than like,, 2b?? đ
That's, so Rough. on their part. Yikes.
also pls feel free to lmk immediately if anything i talked abt below is offensive/made u uncomfortable/was in bad taste of me, bc i nor anyone close to me has vitiligo, so i cant speak on that experience, nor non-white curl types!! /gen
so heres a quick one, i hope u dont mind <3
(Like Zeldas hair is usually straight too, or like the slightest wave ever, just kinda weird bc youd think they JUMP at the chance to curl her hair for at least one game..)
Moon: Reader (she/they), Vitiligo! Reader (race unspecified, just described as ur 'darker/lighter shade'), Curly Haired! Reader (not explicit curl type, just described as more than wavy/loose curls)
Orbit: Headcanons-ish
Stars: smattering of links lol - but bigger bits of Twilight, Four, Legend
first thought is Four making hair ornaments/accessories lol
itd be cool to think that some hair bobbles dont work on lots of hylian heads bc i like to believe a lot of them have non-thick hair or slick hair strands
so like stuff is harder to keep in their hair, for some part of the hylian population not all
like in my little fictional verse? world? au? of linked universe hyrules, hair sticks are popular, bc they can be twisted around it or ponytail holders, basically anything that can in some way shape or form attach/provide tension to hold itself to their hair
idk maybe like other species besides hylians have thicker hair, esp in colder areas? habitats
but ur like, hylian shaped, so its super pretty for the boys to see, and Four has been â¨Inspiredâ¨
ur legit his muse atp, and he can be found casually working at the little accessories whenever there's free time, or if they're in town and he gets access to the forge
ur hair is just so easy to put things like this in!!
tho i will say Four struggles to actually implement pretty hairstyles to go with them, and the colors arent much better, they argue over it too much lol
surprisingly Twi, Wars, Sky, and Legend I could see actually taking the time to sit down and learn about ur hair type enough from you to help make something kinda close to these styles so u can actually have pretty hair and also use the hair ornaments Four's obsessively made 100s of
(some of the boys have also been gifted one or two to wear, Twi, Sky, Time, Wars, and Hyrule wear like one or two, but Wild, Wind, Legend and Four wear At Least 4 or more at any given moment)
It got to the point where u didnt have the inventory to hold them all, until one day Winds like:
Wind: hehe, just ask vet to hold them all
You: what?? i cant ask him to take up so much space in his inventory just for me! he doesnt even use but one or two i gave him..
Wind: nope, rejected, i pinky promise he'd do it, do it in a heartbeat too
You: I dont know..
Wind: just walk up to him and do ur best begging baby seal eyes, and Legend's gonna melt like a chuchu on a rock in the sun lol
you try it, with only minimal begging and puppy eyes, and before u even finish "hey, Lege, so, i was just wondering, if you dont have room of course thats fine, but i just have a lot of these-"
and he's already looking away and thrusting one of his bottomless bags at you, holding it out saying "well?? hurry up, i dont have all day cmon"
its lowkey become a competition amongst the Links who can do ur hair, doing the best/prettiest hairstyles for you,
they even have tiers like weekly basis, monthly, and recently have upgraded to yearly as u spent more time with them lol
(legit Legend outright puffing out his chest and crossing his arms all proud whenever u compliment his work, Twi grinning like a little kid all excited, if he was Wolfie when u complimented his hairstyle his tail would of coure be wagging, Wars preens and looks entirely too smug, dont tell the others but he's also the best at upkeeping ur hairstyle for you like adjusting stuff that loose or fell or if u need more hair oil or smth, Sky goes all pink in the cheeks and u swear his pointed ears wiggle a little when u compliment his hairstyle - and YES it secretly earns them more brownie points if u like it amongst their hairstyle competition)
oh and feeling jealous competitive for just no reason at all, against Four for making so many hair accessories, Legend is continuously making you bonnets, reversible ones, patterned ones, he even experimented with making some magical ones that kept your head warm/cool without damaging your curls <33
(u cannot thank him multiple times or thank him too excitedly, bc he goes all red and speedwalks off and actually hides from you lmao)
changing to the vitiligo aspects
there was a general sense of wonder from the heroes at your curly hair and skin pigments, but they definitely didnt press you abt it, even if some were clearly staring at you with these huge curious eyes at first (coughwindcough)
the curiousity rlly just turned to admiring not long after traveling together, and it was def a ritual to do a little spin and show all the guys ur new hairstyle whenever one of them helped you/did ur hair for you
but Wild/Legend/Wars were def the best abt helping make you/find you makeup here, whether ur the type to conceal ur pigment changes more, or blend them, or even do something kinda fun like this
they are very supportive of whatever choice u make abt ur skin, or even if u change ur mind every now and then/constantly, doesnt matter to them theyre rolling with it <3
(also goes w/o saying they dont care if ur vitiligo pigmentation is symmetrical or "aesthetically pleasing", its kinda silently, all-heroes-agreed, ur just beautiful)
Wild, Hyrule, Twilight and Wind would def have the most fun/take u up on ur offer on the designs like the above pics, once again, if u let them/thats ur style
(Wind would absolutely try to make small patches into something else, like the kitty picture lmao - u just go from looking at Hyrule's gorgeous light/dark skintone flowers he's bashfully painted down ur arm, to panning over to ur other arm in Wind's grasp filled with seagulls, a chuchu, the King of Red Lions boat??, and a really good drawing of Ganon himself where he used your lighter/darker skin tones to literally shade him đđLMAO??? Time tried to be srs and get onto him but he couldnt keep his laughter contained enough to do it, interuppting him midsentence and shit, bc u know he wouldve done the same thing if u gave him ur armđ)
but they truly dont make a big deal out of or stare excessively at you, they figure out boundaries quick, along with just being genuinely sweet and decent guys
and if any hylian stares at u weird or a little too long in public in towns or smth, they might even notice before you do tbh
You, minding ur business checking out a vendors items, suddenly hearing Wars slide up next to you with the kind of voice he only uses around particularly grating/annoying nobles
"She's not an attraction, move along. It's rude to stare."
And by the time your looking up and around for whoever he aimed that nearly hissed out remark at, it's just u and him at the stand again, and when u turn back to him, Wars is just smiling and holding up a fruit for you to evaluate
(one time Twi outright growled a bit at someone behind you and when u turned around to see wth was going on, he was pink cheeked and very obviously covering up by whistling badly lmao)
Rating: 10/10 very silly boys abt it all, the little ways they all care abt u is either sweet or silly or somewhere in between
â
hope yall have been having a good summer so far, ive started a new job (again this year ;-;) and training is going okay, its in medical records, so wish me luck i dont do smth stupid </3
Sylus is attentive, extremely so. Nothing about you is secret from him, whether you wish it was or not. Since you've been together, you've found yourself a victim of his control-freak tendenciesâ the fact your location, step count, heart rate, and apartment security cameras had all become his personal business was something that took a while to get used to. He's respectful as he can be about it, regularly reminding you he does it only to make sure of your safety and always coming clean whenever he's been snooping. Over the months you've grown to find it endearing instead of creepy, because it makes crystal clear how he simply cares so damn much about you.
You can't hide from him, even when you want to the most. When you're holed up under the blankets in the dead of winter, the shitty weather and 4pm sunsets bringing out the worst of your depression, he texts: "Sweetheart, 150 steps? Am I reading this right?"
You cringe, wanting to disappear. "Stop tracking me," you respond back.
"Have you not gotten out of bed?" His follow up text comes in immediately, and then those three dots pop up on your screen again. He's not giving you a chance to respond with the "I'm fine" he already knows you've halfway typed out. "I'm coming over. No questions asked."
Before you know it he's at your door, making himself at home without asking, his care quiet and efficient. Mephisto keeps you company in bed, chirping and whirring on your nightstand as Sylus busies himself tidying the apartment. After a moment, Sylus brings you a glass of water, toothbrush and toothpaste from the bathroom, a hair tieâ little things that make you feel a bit more like a person again.
He then slips into bed next to you, helping tie your hair back into a neat ponytail as you demolish the first glass of water you've had all day. You give him a wordless, grateful look.
"You know, I won't think you're weak if you ask me for help," he murmurs gently, his voice gravelly and tender. He squeezes your shoulder.
You want to tell him that you know, but that it's just really hard. He gives you a warm look that makes you feel like he's just read your insecurities like a book, his hand slipping into yours beneath the blankets. He intertwines his fingers with yours.
"This is why I keep tabs on you, sweetie. I need you to know that I'll always be here."
[A/N]: this a combination of some similar requests and an expansion on one of my sylus headcanons! if you sent a request along these lines hope you enjoy :)
Crying in Sylus's arms when things get overwhelmingly bad, his heart aches at the sight of you struggling to stop the tears, your cries muffled against his broad chest.
Sylus's mind raced with anything he could think of to help you feel better - he'd thought of preparing the shooting range to let out all your frustrations or cook your favourite dishes or even coaxing you to go out to get some fresh air together.
But no, you didn't want any of that, with your arms wrapped tightly around his middle as you buried your tear-streaked face into his shoulder, your voice a pained whisper as he listened to your small plea -
"Stay, please." Your voice cracked slightly from all the crying, your body trembling from the intense emotions you were feeling as you slowly lifted your face to look up at him, your expression utterly distraught and exhausted. "I don't want anything else. Just you, please."
You didn't need to tell him twice as Sylus's arms instinctively pulled you closer to him, one hand moved up to cup your cheek as he gently wiped away the tears. "Shh. Its okay."
He pressed a soft kiss on your forehead before holding you firmer in his arms, the warmth of his body and his soothing reassurance made you melt against his hold. "Everything will be okay. I won't ever leave you alone."
A single tear rolled down your cheek as you closed your eyes, letting out a shaky sigh, you rested comfortably against him. His hand caressing your back to soothe you more, his calm voice echoing in your mind before the fatigue finally settled in as you fell asleep in his embrace.
"Rest, my beloved. I'll be here when you wake up."
Sylus takes notice one night, as youâre resting against him, of the exact way you position yourself in his hold.
You press your body to one side of his, until youâre basically molded against him. Your heart lays above his, itâs beating harmonizing with his own until they inevitably sync together.
Your head rests slightly on his collarbone, your face lingering just above his neck leaving your nose to occasionally bump it after a deep breath. Breaths which fan across his skin and give him little goosebumps.
Though it isnât any of this that truely catches his attention.
One of your hands lays gently on his chest.
Sprawled exactly where in a past life a final blow had taken his life.
Your fingers graze where the gash would have been, leaving soft touches instead of dripping blood.
Youâre unaware of what had happened ages ago, though subconsciously you apologize. Holding him close now as you couldnât before. Perhaps it was part of your soul coming to its peace as you laid with him now.
His hand shakes slightly as it comes to trace your own, he turns, placing a kiss to the crown of your head and begins to focus once again on your steady breaths and your heart's rhythmic beat.
Perhaps this will be enough of a resolution to relax his own soul as well, that way his part and yours can come and rest together again as you two do now.
Sylus, who doesn't just call you kitten from the start, but also treats you like one. He can't help it. Not when you remind him exactly of a fierce, scraggly stray kitten, hissing and arching its back at him whenever he comes close.
After coming to understand how uncomfortable you felt around him, he decided to adopt a different approach to getting close with you. A less forceful approach- a plan you didn't realise was implemented even when you were finally pliant and comfortable around him like a relaxed fat cat.
He had to coax you, silently and gently encourage you to put away your claws and start trusting him.
When you were at the base and basically sticking to the opposite side of the room as him as if you were glued there, sometimes he'd pretend to be deeply curious about something in front of him, such as a book or artefact, and pretend to pour over it as he clicked his tongue softly.
As expected, and just like a cat, the sound would catch your attention, and when you realised he wasn't making the sound to gain your attention but just casually clicking his tongue because he was interested in something else, you would slowly approach with a little furrow in your brow. He tried not to laugh as you took slow steps around the edge of the room to come closer, you yourself pretending to be interested in other books and things to seem as if you just casually ended up near him, meanwhile you had been eyeing him from the corner of your eye the whole time, little interest in anything else.
Treats. You hadn't though deeply about why Sylus' pantries were stocked with your favourite snacks. After a few visits to his home, you would naturally make your way to the kitchen to grab your favourite treats without a care in the world, happily munching them like a stray cat that had been lured over by temptation.
At the base, you would also be able to find your favourite toys (the cool guns in his armoury) and your favourite games, such as kitty cards. The blankets and pillows in the guest room you stayed in were all made of your favourite soft material, so expensive it felt like sleeping on a cloud. Sylus even tried spraying his cologne in certain areas of the house so you would become accustomed to his scent.
When in his home, Sylus would make sure to give you plenty of alone time while still ensuring you were aware of his presence, so as not to intimidate you but also to make sure you knew he was around if you wanted to approach him.
And you did, sometimes peeping over his shoulder like a curious cat to see what he was doing. Or sitting on the kitchen counter watching him as he cooked. The distance slowly closed before you even realised it. But he knew, and he was torn between smugness and the happy trilling in his heart.
You remained blissfully ignorant as the comforts around you grew. You naturally relaxed into your surroundings and his presence, not even noticing Sylus had planned it this way from the start.
Even now, he watches you- in your own small home this time- lounging on a fluffy, pink bean bag situated in a spot of the living area that catches the sun's soft glows through the window, and can't help but liken you to a cat. Especially when the sun moves through the sky and your eyes crack open, an unhappy frown creasing the top of your nose because you are now in a shady spot and even with a blanket covering you, that will just not do.
He watches you stretch languidly, yawning, before dragging the bean bag to a new patch of sun and once again settling on it, falling into a comfortable nap once more.
He's come from the kitchen, and he approaches you to place a warm cup of tea beside you quietly. One of your eyes peek open to take him in.
"Sylussss," you whine sleepily, rolling onto your back. He squats in front of you and rubs the top of your head.
"Mm?"
You don't say anything else, just falling back into slumber, but he smiles and continues to pat your head. It's something he does often, and he wonders if you even realise that you've come to always expect these head pats, bouncing up to him when you're proud of something you've done and want his praise, waiting for his warm hand to tell you you did well.
Or when the two of you are just relaxing together, sometimes he'll scratch beneath your chin and you'll preen, lips twisting up in contentment and enjoyment, eyes falling shut as you lean toward him for more. You may as well have purred and rubbed against him in silent askance for more.
Of course, if you became aware of the fact he was treating you like a cat, you would start pretending to not like these small affections, so Sylus keeps quiet with his teasing.
Although, he thinks of how cute you'd be, turning away with a pout after discovering he had been treating you like a pet. He could almost see an imaginary tail flicking irritably. Maybe you'd even growl unhappily.
He chuckled quietly. Truly a kitten.
