Asexual. Autistic. She/they. Empty blogs will be blocked on sight. I am obsessed with cartoons and The Legend of Zelda. I tag religiously so blacklist any fandoms you don't want clogging up your dash. Author of The Light Invasion: an epic-length, enemies-to-friends-to-lovers Midlink slowburn in which the light spirits invade the twilight realm instead of the other way around.
So... I meant to make a lil graphic for my fic but somehow made this "trailer" instead...
The Light Invasion
An epic-length, Premise Reversal AU of 'Twilight Princess'.
“Really?” Midna spat. "As my people waste away in the shadows of their own world, you’re defending the 'handsome, well-mannered' war criminal who forced them there? How valiant of you, Mr Important Hero!”
The light spirits have abandoned Hyrule, plunging it into an ever-lasting night. Zelda’s husband says that the light was stolen away. He says that the Twili are to blame. But Midna? She calls him a liar; she calls the missing daylight a burning apocalypse upon her realm; and she calls upon Link to betray his comrades, his prince, his queen, and his kingdom.

Made in Canva, Art assets are all official game art (aside from Fabian's silhouette which I do not have a source for).
[ID: On a black background, four white circles phase in. The top left circle has a black silhouette of Zelda throwing out her right arm in the foreground and a shadowy silhouette of Sheik leaping in the background. The top right circle shows a black silhouette of Link standing and looking in the distance as the shadowy silhouette of Midna floats beside him. The bottom left circle shows black text that says 'The Light Invasion'. The bottom right circle has the medium close-up silhouette of a thin, short-haired man in the foreground with pointy Hylian ears, and the shadowy silhouette of Zant flourishing his sleeves menacingly in the background. One-by-one, the circles fade out.
Against the same black background, four lines of white writing fade in, saying the following: "Do you ever wonder what might happen if Hyrule was the instigator of the Twilight War?" The writing fades out.
The screen becomes diagonally divided into black on the bottom left and white on the top right. On the white, a black and Twilit portal appears with black writing along the diagonal that says "A realm of ceaseless daylight." On the black, the white silhouette of Hyrule Castle fades in at the bottom, along with white writing along the bottom that says "A realm of perpetual night." It fades away.
The screen then becomes diagonally divided again into white on the top left and black on the bottom right. Emerging from the diagonal line against the white background is the same black silhouette of a man with Hylian ears as before. Black words fade in above him saying "A husband who starts a war..." Emerging from the diagonal line against the black background is the white silhouette of Zelda. White words fade in beneath her saying "...while his queen is sick in bed".
The screen is divided in half vertically with white on the left and black on the right. In the centre is the standing silhouette of Link, divided in half to be black on the left and white on the right. On the left, black writing says "A chosen hero..." while on the right, white writing says "...loyalties divided".
The screen is divided in half horizontally, with black on the top and white on the bottom. In the top right is the white silhouette of Hyrule's crest with white writing beside it saying "Is his duty to his kingdom..." In the bottom left is a medium close-up of Midna's black silhouette with her right arm stretched out. Beside her, black writing says "...or the parasite in his shadow?"
The screen fades to white with black writing taking up most of the screen. It says 'The Light Invasion: an epic by Scarlet Curls'.]
i want to put my thoughts behind this: this was supposed to be a piece for pride month, titled "you were loved". the sky is the color of the aroace flag (just upside down)!
basically, i wanted to show an aroace person — an old aroace person, to be precise. being aroace myself, i am always told that i will forever be lonely and miserable if i don't get a partner. so showing grace, who is aroace to me, as old and happy and fulfilled and oh so loved by his best friend, was really important to me <3
It would have been much harder to figure everything out if their roles had been reversed...
I saw a great cosplay of human!Rocky wearing overalls and others drawing him as James Ortiz and I also wanted to give it a go.
Phm from Adrian's perspective is just what if you were Penelope and Odysseus came home but he also brought a jellyfish and keeps begging you to build a fish tank for the jellyfish and make jellyfish food for the jellyfish and youre an ancient Greek whos never seen a jellyfish and you cant even comprehend how your going to do it but youre going to because if you dont Odysseus may kill himself. And also the jellyfish can do like. Witchcraft.
so sorry but no, fanfics don't count (even if they're novel length). you can define "read" however you'd like -- physcial book, ebook, audiobook, etc. and it's up to you whether you count dnfs!
Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.
