“I love the silent hour of night / For blissful dreams may then arise / Revealing to my charmed sight / what may not bless my waking eyes.” -Anne Brontë

[the-four-and-shadow-asks]

I would like to give the four Links a nice little gift wrapped box, don’t worry about the slight ominous smoke coming out of the cracks of the paper, it’s nothing, I hope he enjoys the gift!

(Genuinely tho I think Red or Blue would be good bee keepers)

They sacrificed green, just in case....

I wasn’t planning on posting tomadachi life stuff but WHAT????

Life sucks rn I need to draw Vio being brutally murdered

[randomkduck]

Rileymorph has convinced me that Blue and Vio have the energy of “yes you are a ✨queen✨ but as your court jester it is my job to mercilessly make fun of you” and I can’t be convinced otherwise now.

aaaaand post

hi i almost set my entire apartment on fire while trying to make toast yesterday.

[randomkduck]

I got inspired by this

[randomkduck]

There isn’t enough [hyperfixation] content I need the source material injected into my b o n e s .

[randomkduck]

I have a headcanon that I wanna share about the Links in relation to fear. Cause I have a lot of thoughts on it.

But I think the same way each of the Links takes on aspects of the whole’s personality, they also take on aspects of personality to fill in the cracks (like jurrasic park scientists using frog DNA to fill in the missing pieces of the dinosaur genome). And I wanna focus on fear thanks to the original thought that had me sharing.

Blue and Red’s fear responses are obvious: fight and flight, rage and run away. Blue getting combative to anyone and everything because there’s danger everywhere and his allies are idiots (ignore that he’s also an idiot). Red ran away from a lot but also some of his bright and chipper attitude can read as him being naive by some and as him putting on a front by others.

Now Vio and Green need a few more examples than just… pointing vaguely at the manga as a whole.

Vio has fawn: the fear response that leads to anxious people pleasers. But this coincides with him being stoic and hiding a lot of his emotions behind a mask anyways, so it doesn’t come off that way, but: Look at the whole scene with him and Shadow in that forest, the scenes between him and Shadow following.

He sees the obvious points: Shadow is stronger than him, Shadow is in his element, Vio is weakened by fighting presumably all day with minimal rest the previous night, the forest is trying to kill him.

With no ways out. Vio chooses to fawn. Let Shadow see what he wants to see, and if Vio can shape this less than ideal situation to work in his favour- all the better!

Then there’s Green. Green who freezes when the group has to fight armour of their allies and still thinks there’s people they know and care for under it, when the eyeball rock brings him to the dark world, when they’re fighting their dad.

When he fights an opponent he physically can’t touch, and has self deprecating thoughts, and a more lethargic (for lack of better term) attitude towards it.

These guys are trained soldiers, so their coping mechanisms to fear are more in tact, with Blue and Red having heightened emotional responses for being Link’s emotional centres, and Green and Vio just having moments before quickly recovering and moving on.

And what about Shadow?

I don’t know. Still figuring that out. Though currently I think he’s a mix of the four.

[randomkduck]

I was inspired:

My cursive sucks but whatever

[the-four-and-shadow-asks]

To Shadow: if possible, throw a thin slice of cheese at any colour of you choosing 🫡

Or blue cheese. Which is very stinky and squishy, so would splat of someone’s face.

[randomkduck]

This is dumb lmao

[ghostofasupernova]

Thinking about four swords and I suddenly had a thought

what if the Link we all know in love was actually meant to split into 5, not 4

and like Shadow’s not their shadow, so to speak, but a corrupted fragment stolen away from their joint soul before they would ever be able to notice the change.

(Maybe people notice the change. They don’t, they’d still be just a kid, but maybe others around them do.)

But then I’m thinking, all four of them have their own piece of Link. Green, their courage, their drive— their core, of sorts— Red, their childlike wonder, their emotion, Blue, their confidence, anger, protectiveness, Vio, their logic, their smarts.

where would that leave shadow, if he really was a missing piece? What core piece could they be missing that would still fit shadow? Even if shadow were a corrupted part of them, would said corruption change that core part until it was unrecognizable? Does shadow hide it? Was it ever there in the first place, or was it just what he was meant to become?

I don’t know. Just a thought.

[randomkduck]

I’ve thought about this and it ended up spiraling into an original story BUT:

Green: courage, the mask (the one people think ACTS most like Link), the morale compass.

Red: Empathy, emotion, magic proficiency.

Blue: Loyalty, passion, righteous fury.

Vio: Cunning, quick thinking, processing power.

Shadow: Spirit, drive, and:

This one’s a stretch but there’s a thing called the “shadow self” that is two things. One: the aspects of ourself we keep hidden because we don’t want them to result in getting hurt/ostracized (Shadow’s an ass, gullible like Red, has anger issues like Blue, secretly longs for companionship and praise, and is autistic coded). Two: the belief that when we get mad at others for “no reason” it says more about ourself then others, with the example of; there’s a theory where Blue gets so mad at Red specifically because Link may have been raised to believe everything Red stood for made him weak and a target, and Blue seems to fill the role of group protector without ever understanding that THAT is why he’s so mad.

There are cases where Shadow gets mad at them for doing shit he’d also do, and occasions where he acts in a way that would probably make Link cringe.

The alternative option is “ego” which you can see in EVERYTHING he does. Especially when approuching and “partnering” with Vio. Though ego seems to be an aspect every part of Link has in some regards, with Red and Green being ego DEATH more specifically.

So… yeah.
