The ACTUAL Dark Link.

Hello, yes. It is me. Behold. He/they/she/any pronouns. (Silly rp blog, send asks if you wish! Dink will be annoyed at the riffraff, but I quite enjoy it.)

[realdarklink]

Boo, Bitch. It is I, Dark link. Not “dink” or whatever those asinine hero’s have come up with.

Tired reflection of the hero’s spirit, foe and test to courage, traveller of time, and space, Resident of the water temple.

I have recently relocated the temple to be closer to the village. I have been introduced to the wonders of baked goods by @bright-dark-link . I wish for warm bread to start my days.

(I’ve risen to be indignant at those pesty shtick stealers. The… “evil chain” as they are calling themselves? Tch. Thiefs, The lot of them.)

Ask tag is “#pests in the temple”

Now, begone.

[realdarklink]

What counts as pestering?

…considering you are currently standing at my temple door, you are rather close to finding out.

[realdarklink]

Are you alright, little one?

[virtualplays]

i just realized i never responded to you. ERM. YES I’M FINE. PROBABLY. THANK YOU FIR CHECKING ON ME DARK.

[realdarklink]

…I’m glad you are fine, then.

Here you go little one, I got these tasty pastries while I was at the village, it has… I believe the baker said it was called custard? It has custard filling and drizzled icing on the top, rather delicious.

[realdarklink]

You are annoyed by the evil heroes, right?

What about the morally grey ones?

As long as you aren’t *invading my temple* and also stealing my shick? You would be as bad at the evil “chain”

… if you do not do those pestering things, then you will be just fine.

[realdarklink]

heyy dink, nice to meet you- i'm bad at introductions so let's get to the point ^^;

i was curious, what do you think about blogs like myself turning evil? i know you don't have the highest opinion of evil links or characters, but it's spread beyond that now and i wanted to know your thoughts! :3

~ @evil-off-brand-halloween-ghost

As long as you aren’t claiming to be a “dark evil link” then I don’t have such issues with you.

Although, I am rather annoyed by the amount of … people - not even of the hero’s spirit - have started barging in.

[evil-off-brand-halloween-ghost]

...i guess i qualify as a people? i was one once, at least

interesting... humor me, are you also the same dink that created the portals in LU? yknow, shapeshifting lizard dink.

[realdarklink]

Blasted goddesses no, that “dink” is a fraud, much the same as these evil links. I am Dark Link, a dark reflection and test to the hero’s spirit, the hero’s darkest thought given shape through magics.

Not… I am no measly lizard, do not make that mistake again.

Oh little one….

Are.. are you alright?

Ah… what do mortals need when they loose teeth,,,

Mashed apples? Apple sauce it was called I believe?

Red potion. And water.

…soup??? The hero’s often talk about soup having healing abilities.

[virtualplays]

i am alright!! mostly!! i am sore and if i don’t stay om top of my meds i am. hurt.

i shall be eating. soft foods. for the next wwwweeek? or so.

if i had a red potion i would drink it. thank you Dark.

…Soup scares me ngl.

[realdarklink]

Soft foods…. No soup…

Broth?

Mashed sweet potatoes?

Mashed berries?

Ah,,,Yes. I shall acquire some softened foods for the temple. Rest up, little one.

Here is a blanket and a Blupee, and water for your… meds? Those are similar to potions, yes?

[realdarklink]

[blupeeblep]

@realdarklink and @a-blupee

Hope you don't mind that I also drew a little you along with your now adult you.

[realdarklink]

This is.. this is quite the wonderful art. I will indeed be hanging this in the temple, thank you.

[mizaruwu]

There's evil links going around right, has a good dink appeared yet

[realdarklink]

I’m more neutral, than anything.

[virtualplays]

You must resist the alluring call of the evil! Stand strong with the side of good in our stalwart battle against the darkness! Stand strong comrade in these trying times!

Good loftwing

NO I WILL BE EVIL. MY EVIL MOTHER-IN-LAW WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IF I WASN'T.

[realdarklink]

Feral one, should you wish too, you can join me in the side of chaos and watching the “good” souls of courage and the evil reflections of themselves “duke it out”.

Although, either way it is…entertaining, to watch.

[virtualplays]

hmmm. i probably WILL join you in just watching. however i will be rooting for the Evil side because of my Evil mother-in-law.

[realdarklink]

Quite fair, little one.

[realdarklink]

Rest well, fellow chaos causers. I need to turn in for the night, for as much as I am a un-mortal being of shadow, I do need to rest sooner or later with all the riff raff interrupting my rest.

… cia.😐

[realdarklink]

hi again Dark. i brought bread.

Thank you, feral one. How have you been? Let me get out my jams, the new shop in the village is selling some lovely jellies.

[virtualplays]

I HAVE BEEN FINE. i have books from library. and gum. yummy gum. ooh yum jam. what kind.

[realdarklink]

I believe raspberry and rhubarb? I’m quite a… ‘fan’ of reds, especially when they taste good.

I am unsure of what “gum” is, but I am glad to hear for as feral as you are, you can indeed read. I should stop by the evil library to try to learn again, at one point. The hylian language changes so much, from century to century.

[virtualplays]

raspberry...yum.

gum's this thing that you can chew on and sometimes blow into bubbles. helps stop me from biting things that i shouldn't.

but yes despite being. feral. as you call me. i can read!! i love to read.

[realdarklink]

Feral one, you have not introduced yourself by name, tried to bite me on our first encounter, and followed me home like a feral puppy from kakiriko.

It has grown on me, though. And I’m glad that this gum satiates your need to gnaw people knees off, not everyone is made of magics like myself.

Shall I put some cookies on your plate, too? You can go play with the Blupees once you have eaten, the little ones are getting quite restless.

Perhaps you can tell me of these new stories you have brought with you whilst you eat?

[virtualplays]

I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU MY NAME?????? oh my goddesses i'm a terrible person. I'M OLIVER. YOU CAN ALSO CALL ME VIRTUAL I DON'T MIND.

flesh is still better to gnaw on than gum but the gum works.

COOKIES. BLUPEES. yes please. all of the above.

yes!! stories! i got three books, Queer Ducks (and other animals), Our Cats are More Famous Than Us, and Body Talk!!

[realdarklink]

Well met, Oliver of virtual,

While this ‘gum’ may not suffice, I do hope the bread and cookies helps.

Lovely, do finish your food first, though. The Blupees have quite a sweet tooth.

Ahhhh those sound quite interesting! I find cats most adorable, but the other two books sound fine enough. What made you pick them up and bring home?

[virtualplays]

Well met!!

the cookies will be amazing, thank you.

i will chomp. all of the food.

mostly cuz of the titles and covers, but the body talk one might help me with my own body.

[realdarklink]

Food is one of my more recent liked discoveries, and I have decided that just because those whos thoughst make up my own self cannot cook, doesn’t mean I will be a bad one - Bread is still my favourite, though.

This body talk does sound good. One’s body is one of the most important aspects of oneself, especially for a mortal, such as you.

In what way are you hoping it will help? I may pick it up myself.

[virtualplays]

food is a wonder unlike any other. i can't cook much but what i can cook is wonderful!

ii struggle with body image cuz gender is confusing. so i'm hoping this book helps me figure stuff out. just help me be more confident, y'know?

[realdarklink]

Gender can be quite odd, I understand. I commend you for taking the step to look into it for yourself, Oliver. That is not always easy to do.

I myself struggle with gender, sometimes. I’ve decided that not having a strict label for it, is what suits me best. Those who I want to know shall know, and those I do not want to know? Well, you understand what I mean. My apologies I did not ask at first, feral one, but what are your preferred pronouns, if you have any? I tend to use they/he most often, but I tend to default to any/all. : ]

[virtualplays]

yeah it's been a journey.

i agree, having a label for it just...isn't right. if i want to tell someone i can, but label's just make it more confusing. i kinda switch up my pronouns depending on the day. i default to he/him, but it can change. i'll try to remember yours, Dark!

[realdarklink]

Quite a journey indeed.

Labels are but tools one can use to define one’s feelings. If they do not suit your needs? You can cast them aside. That is a valuable lesson I have learned through my years. I will remember yours aswell, little one. Would you like me to ask as our interactions go on of the pronoun(s) for your day?

Now, what’s this I hear about ducks?

[virtualplays]

labels are helpful to some but not everyone benefits! it's like boxes...i like boxes. if you could, that would be. really nice of you. (not good. there's a difference between nice and good.)

YES! DUCKS! i think the book talks about relationships in the animal kingdom that are queer...i mostly grabbed it for the duck thing though.

[realdarklink]

That is quite fascinating! Hmmm… perhaps we should find some ducks for the temple, they like bread and water aswell, right little one?

Ahhhh, there have been species who are queer for as far back as the sealing of Null. Those goddesses , blasted as they are, are not… terrible to those in their kingdom. Although, others who live in the same kingdom? It is sadly not always the same.

Should you need a break from those of Hyrule, you are free to visit my temple whenever you wish, little one.

…although, I really must seal up whatever back entrances have been found, There have been many unwelcome pests these days.

[virtualplays]

OHOH if we do find ducks for the temple i have the PERFECT DECORATIONS.

yeahhh there are a lotta people out there who...aren't the best. the goddesses are pretty nice though!

thanks for the invite, Dark! i probably would have snuck in somehow anyway!

have fun finding those entrances, i'm sure there's a lot.

[realdarklink]

*sigh* indeed, I will need to have… words, with the construction company that moved my temple, it seems they left quite some damage in moving it.

Perhaps you could show me these decorations? It has been quite nice to have the Blupees in the temple.

[virtualplays]

mm yes word. we love the words. edible words. sorry.

right so i have no pictures but like. imagine a slide. except it's shaped like a duck. and fairy lights. except they're shaped like ducks. lily pads. but they're shaped like ducks.

[realdarklink]

…the Blupees would *adore* that.

[realdarklink]
