Like Real People Do

Named after the Hozier song. I don't think they would ever get bored with the mundane things that normal people would have, without any magic, life or death stakes, divine intervention, bloodshed, or trauma. They'd live for moments that "real people" have every day, and living in itself would be novel.

Also? Rings because I can.

I made a speed paint video for this piece, too:

I don’t choose ships. They choose me, and then destroy my life.

It’s lonely bitch hours so here’s some Zelink headcanons

Zelda loves playing with Link’s hair. Braiding it, combing her fingers through it, messing it up and smoothing it out again… all of the above. And Link happens to like having his hair played with a Normal Amount so they both profit from this situation

THEY ARE BOTH SO TOUCH STARVED. even before the calamity they have so few positive touches with other people, but after? 100 years of no physical contact (aside from Link fighting things and getting injured)? They’re the snuggliest people ever

Like. They hug when they finally reunite (they’re both crying, Link basically tackle hugs her, they fall over and they don’t stand up for a long time because that’s Their Person, that’s the person they’ve waited 100 years for, they’re not letting go, they CAN’T let go) and then after that they just take every excuse to be in physical contact

Both of them have the crisis of “is this appropriate? Friends can (some kind of physical contact here), right?” Because they’re both so determined not to cross the others’ boundaries even if they’re not sure exactly where those boundaries are

Thinking about Link interacting with the kids in Kakariko and Zelda observing from a distance without him knowing and her being SO SOFT because she’s never seen him like this before

Link scavenging for every single guardian part he can get his hands on even when he doesn’t need them. Even before he knows why. And then after they reunite realizing that it was because he wanted to give them to Zelda, just so he could see that sunshine smile and the way her eyes light up when she’s making something

Link loves cooking for Zelda (taking care of her in a way beyond protection, giving her home cooked meals that are so much more personal than the castle chefs could ever be). Zelda loves watching Link cook (he hums!! When he cooks!! And there’s something so peaceful and domestic about it and she just melts). It’s a win win and the Hateno house always smells so good

Koroks crash their first date. They’re not subtle.

More to come eventually but I needed to release some of these brainworms into the world :) enjoy :)

Underused Ways to Show a Character Is Neglecting Themself

Everyone writes “they looked tired.” But let's look closer.

Here are some quick ways to show a character is neglecting themselves (without saying "they were neglecting themselves"):

• They drink coffee instead of eating again

• They never ask for help

• They keep wearing the same jacket even when it’s too warm

• Their phone battery is always at 3%

• Spending a long time away from others

• They say “I’ll eat later” three times in the same day

• Withdrawing quietly when stressed rather than seeking help

• Their place runs out of small things (soap, clean cups, toothpaste)

• Always late or overdue on bills

• They sleep in strange places because the bed is buried under things

• Using alcohol or substances to cope

• Overworking or staying constantly busy to avoid thinking about personal needs

• They stop replacing things that break

• Being highly critical of themselves while being extremely compassionate toward others

• They forget what day it is, but remember every obligation

• Lack of concern about their own wellbeing (acting reckless/stupid)

• They open the fridge, stare, and close it again

• Their laundry slowly becomes “the chair”

• Saying "I'm fine" to everything.

• Being the “listener” or emotional support for everyone else, but rarely opening up themselves

• Someone asks if they’ve eaten and they have to actually think about it

Those are some quick tips. Reblog if you want more. Idk if people like these. <3

the-nada-thing

the dancing scene in Tangled always gets to me because like... the king and queen are grieving, this is the hardest day for them, they don't take part in the celebration other than lighting the first lantern. but she's right there she's in the town the person you miss she's in the town she's painting the streets she's singing she's playing with the children. the person you're grieving is here and she's alive and she's dancing outside your window

I’m a little late because I’ve been under the weather, but happy 3rd anniversary!🎉

This is a special game that first introduced me to the Zelda series.

astraea-and-her-novels

can you imagine being Rapunzel's birth parents during the main events of the movie?

Like it's your daughter's 18th birthday, the same daughter that you haven't seen since she was born. You're preparing to celebrate her birthday, your yearly tradition, when someone steals the crown you had made for your baby when she was born. The last thing you have left of her.

Obviously, you send every soldier that can be spared to retrieve the crown, to bring back some semblance of your daughter, but they are unsucsessful. but then, after you light the lanterns and retire to your chambers with grief, news comes in. The man who stole the crown has returned, and you order his execution. The next day, he escapes, riding on the best guard in your stables, and before you can make light of the situation, he returns, but this time he does not have the crown. He has your daughter, the one you lost 18 years ago.

Lyrics from "Gerbil" by Filter

Kind of a low-effort post, but I’ve been listening to this song a lot lately and I feel like, as a song, it really captures the hate Kylo and Hux have for each other. The angry tone paired with the incredibly blunt, derisive lyrics kind of make it a good fit for their very negative relationship lol. What do you guys think?

"Please, find my beloved."

"I miss him."

They are her lackeys... her eyes. Her hands.

It’s all about the quiet and loving encouragement of a Jedi with his emotionally constipated Mandalorian.

KEERO WEEK 2025 | @syrilxdedra

↳ Day One - Favourite Scene(s)

kanerallels

In a plot twist, I'm sharing fan fic today! In ANOTHER plot twist, it's not related to the Steve Miller Au or FFXV, but is my piece for the @star-crossed-sabezra-fanzine! Link here! It's basically a look at what I would love to see in Ahsoka S2 but probably won't. First lines under the cut, and thank you again to the incredible hosts/moderators and contributors of this event! You guys are amazing

“We’re gonna get her back.”

Ezra’s serious words drew Sabine’s attention. Looking up from the schematics she was studying, she glanced over to where he was kneeling, next to Jacen. Her heart pinched a little at the look in Jacen’s eyes. “Are you sure?” he whispered, voice shaking.

“Absolutely,” Ezra said, his grin easy, and Sabine saw some of the fear leave Jacen’s eyes. He’d only known Ezra for a few days now, but had heard stories about him all his life. He’d never doubt that Ezra was telling him the truth.

(and oh, how Sabine hoped it was the truth.)

Ezra, meanwhile, hadn’t known Jacen existed until they returned from Peridea, without Ahsoka but, unfortunately, with Thrawn. When they’d escaped and made it back to the ship where Hera had been waiting for them, he’d been introduced to the boy, and Sabine still cherished the look of absolute shock on his face when he’d realized that Hera and Kanan had a son.

A son who was now terrified for his mother’s life.

“What do you see?” Ezra asked, turning to Sabine, and Sabine turned her attention back to the camp down the slope from them.

“It’s a good hideout,” she said, studying the vibrant red stone cliffs that enclosed the old ruined village that they’d tracked Thrawn’s men to. “Hard to access with those gates, and there’s not much for approaches above. Turns out Dathomir was the right place for Thrawn to hide out. What made him so interested in it, anyway?”

“The Nightmothers or whatever they’re called,” Ezra said, moving to crouch down next to her. He’d shaved and cleaned up after they’d gotten back from Peridea, but his hair was still as long as it had been when they’d first met. Long and soft looking, curling slightly along his jawline.

Focus, Sabine. “Yeah, we met,” Sabine said dryly. “Not a fan.”

“You and me both,” Ezra said, flashing her a quick grin that made her heart skip a beat. “We need a better look inside.”
