(These are all from my camera roll btw)
Hello! The name’s Monroe and this is my main blog.
First off, I run the side blog @the-good-cucco, it’s all for shits and giggles, everyone who is familiar with Legend of Zelda in general knows that all Cuccos are evil and will gladly kill you. But the whole evil lu thing is in of itself ridiculous so might as well embrace it!
I’m in many, many fandoms but I’ll list my main ones here.
Linked Universe/LoZ
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (mainly rise)
Final Fantasy (mainly 9)
DC
Spider-Man (he’s really the only marvel character I like, there are a few exceptions though)
Star Wars
Princess Tutu
Sonic the Hedgehog
Homestuck
Mob Psycho 100
Disastrous Life of Saiki K
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood

Skyward Sword (completed)
Ocarina of Time (almost done)

Majora’s Mask (in the middle of)
Twilight Princess (started)
Breath of the Wild (completed)
Tears of the kingdom (completed)
Final Fantasy (completed)
Final Fantasy II (completed)

Final Fantasy VIII (Got over halfway, confused by poorly executed time-travel. Never going to finish)
Final Fantasy IX (completed. Love, favorite game ever. I could rant and analyze this thing forever)
Final Fantasy X (in the middle of but not sure if I’ll ever finish. The constant fights with what’s his face are awful. Only good part is blitzball)
Final Fantasy XIII (in the middle of but not sure if I’ll ever finish it. I’m not terribly engaged in the story. The fight mechanics are fun though)
Final Fantasy XV (in the middle of; I fucking love it)
Sonic Adventure 2 (did Sonic’s story, almost failed every single course. Sonic games are not my forte)
Sonic x Shadow Generations (started, I’m actually doing decently)
Sonic Frontiers (started, the game can be a little buggy)
I do write on AO3 and Wattpad under the same username of Shadowed Dream (honestly if I’m on a platform, that’s my name).

Quick notes:
I am Catholic and very firm in my beliefs. I will gladly take questions about my religion but please, no hate.
I do not support the LGBTQ+ movement or anything similar to that; however, I also believe that hate is evil and that we should be nice to all people. We can disagree about life yet still love each other because love is as Aristotle said: reciprocated, unconditional goodwill between people.
If you have any questions about my works or anything else feel free to ask!
Thanks for visiting my blog and safe internet travels!
it’s so special to me that so much of fan culture is textual analysis for the love of the game. like thank god there are people in my phone who are also thinking about this thing i love so much that they are writing transformative fiction as character studies and setting clips of the show to music with theme-relevant lyrics and writing long text posts analyzing every line of dialogue like!! yay!!!
When they get the characterization perfect in ways I hadn't even fully realised, or get the rhythm of video clip to match up perfectly with the music. Omg.
I come out of it weeping and feeling like I've had some sort of holy experience. Dug their hand right into my soul purely in pursuit of their own interest in the subject.
This is an au of an au so to speak, it's based on the loz webcomic @/linkeduniverse by jojo!
The premise is simple, basically our 9 heroes are cursed to share each other's pain, be it emotional or physical, which isn't ideal — especially when you're out there fighting infected monsters!

FAQ
if you look into the #lu pain sharing au tag, you will probably find a lot of asks sent my way about so many creative ways the boys can feel pain, i love you people and your evil brains so much lol but basically, if it makes you feel pain then it will most probably transfer to the others via the curse, that's the basic rule.
but some more specific asks
if wild has a memory were he is in pain, does it transfer? i'm still debating wether i want that or not, but i am more inclined to a yes just cause of the whump lol
if wolfie's transformation hurts, does legend's bunny one hurt too? i personally believe that no, it doesn't hurt legend. Basically wolfie's transformation is more of a curse or more akin to dark magic which is why it hurts so much, meanwhile bunny legend is a manifestation of who he is, it's a part of him, so i wouldn't technically see it as a painful transformation
what about time's masks? oh yeah those hurt a lot, have you seen the majora's mask animation? yikes
and legend's mermaid transformation? i personally also believe that it doesn't hurt lol since it's an item doing the magic i would like to think it was made so it wouldn't hurt it's user
what about four splitting or turning into a minish? doesn't hurt, at least i personally believe it doesn't
wild's scars do they hurt? what about wars´? yeah they do hurt/itch and the others can feel it
what about the pain resistance of each member of the chain? twilight is the one with the most pain resistance since he's used to the wolfie transformation pain, second is time (mask transformation pain) and third is legend+wild (legend cause of his veteran status probably suffered a lot of injuries and wild is wild man have you seen how much shit can hurt you in botw lol) as for the ones with the least pain resistance, it's wind (baby fainted so much during wind waker after being injured lol) and four, all of the others have a more normal pain resistance.
will someone die? :^)
that's all of the questions i can think about, if i remember anything i will add it!
anyway, thank you for reading my dumb comic where i hurt the blorbos :)
Hello, tumblr! I saw something on here the other day that worried me, so I decided to Do Science about it. But I can't do it alone: I need your help to build the dataset!
Here's what I need you to do:
If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.
Yes, that's really it.
I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.
If I get 10,000 posts in my dataset before August 31st 2026, I will post my preliminary findings then. I won't feel comfortable calling my findings "settled" before 2027, unless I get over 50,000 posts.
"Monroe do this. Monroe do that. Monroe when are you going to this? Monroe why haven't you done this yet?"
Maybe consider the fact that I'm FUCKING GETTING TO IT.
Why is this such a common occurrence in my life? Responsibility on top of responsibility is piled onto me, I sort it out as best as I can (sometimes by deadline, or by importance) and once I sort it one way I'm told to sort it the other way. WHY IS THERE NO TRUST????
Despite your opinion, I know what I am doing and the constant questioning and micromanaging is only making me less inclined to do the things you want me to do in the first place. Then I'm crying, stressed about how much is on my plate when I was working on eating one of those tasks just a few minutes before. Or I waste time on here to lose myself or my emotions.
If you're going to give me a responsibility at least grant me some level of trust. If you don't trust me then don't give me a responsibility because then it will never be completed.
