My sons apparently tried to fistfight one of the neighbors' cuccos.

Predictably, this did not end well.

Was not because of a flock mauling, thankfully, but the boys have certainly learned their lesson on why you don't pick on a cucco.

[spiritedtrident]

did they learn a lesson about angering peaceful creatures?

[fingerboardrhapsodist]

They at least learned not to pick on cuccos specifically, I think. I don't know that I ever told them WHY not to bother the birds, but I did at least say the word 'don't' about it before.

Sorry that took a bit, I was teaching Daimon how to bind wounds, since Aidan can't take care of his own. I'm very tired.

[spiritedtrident]

Oh dear... I hope that they can settle down soon

You know... Perhaps we could spend some time together.

Ahhh I've always wanted to redraw this Mipha screenshot. Since my last drawing I wanted to jump straight into this to see how it would turn out. Will be good to compare it to the drawing I did for Art Fight back in July that I'll upload next week. So... more practice on humanoids after drawing so much animals jskldjs. Also a small study of metals!

Painted Mipha as a little birthday treat to myself 🌊🫶🏼

[hyliansignlanguage]

Had someone ask if I was going to cut my hair now that the Calamity is dealt with and we're rebuilding.

No.

I'm letting my hair grow out until it drags on the ground four feet behind me as I walk. While braided.

And you're going to deal with that.

[spiritedtrident]

and why would it be their business anyway

[hyliansignlanguage]

Supposedly because I am a public figure, and therefore must do exactly what everyone tells me to, even the contradictory or overlapping orders. It's just what kings do, after all. Exactly what the nobles want.

[spiritedtrident]

all this time and there's still someone who thinks they can be this insufferable?

[hyliansignlanguage]

Their grandpa said so, so it must be true. My father did exactly as he was told, don't you know.

I don't know how they think things used to be, but I have impressed upon them very much that their job isn't to be a boss to me or pretty near anyone else, it's to oversee the region they occupy and make sure the people within it are fed, housed, clothed, and safe. And they are VERY replaceable if they misuse the tools given to them to do so.

I have also considered adding physical repercussions for continuing to play stupid games, but I don't want to become known as the king that threw a vase at someone for suggesting we just send a messenger with a piece of parchment to tell the monsters around a town to vacate the premises.

[spiritedtrident]

if they're going to bring up your father, which i find disgusting personally, then you should get to bring up the fact that he died failing his kingdom, while you have not only survived but thrived, thus proving that doing what one is told is not good for a king.

i doubt they have any idea how things actually used to be either. I doubt even more that they care.

fair, but i feel like you owe them some prize for their games. notoriety perhaps? the newspaper might run the story thus; The Noble So-and-So approached the King this day and bade him get a haircut rather than anything regarding the rebuilding of their demesne nor the quality of their subject's lives.

[hyliansignlanguage]

Would prefer to not talk about my father with them. In general. And no, they have no clue about what things were like back then. I saw how the nobles then interacted with father and it was significantly different than they seem to imagine. Hundred some odd years of 'good old days' reimagining of things from grandpa with a healthy dose of lies to make himself look better will do that to the younger ones' perception of the way things work.

Oh, that is a good idea. I'm going to start keeping notes and passing them off to my favorite gossip friend for their articles.

[spiritedtrident]

i understand, and i would have hoped that nobility would have more taste than to say such things in the first place, but here we are.

i'm glad to hear you agree

[hyliansignlanguage]

Wrangling nobles is more tiring than wrangling toddlers.

[spiritedtrident]

they should be ashamed of themselves.

[hyliansignlanguage]

I agree, but I don't think they'll ever manage it. Just don't seem to have the capacity for that amount of critical thought.

If publicly shaming them doesn't do it, I'll just replace them. Have enough going on that I can't keep dicking around like this with people who have no interest in doing the job they were brought on for.

[spiritedtrident]

i would bet my scales that Sidon has been wanting to replace them, every time they open their mouths.

[hyliansignlanguage]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's accurate. Considering I've been threatening it for a while now, I'm sure Sheik and Sidon both have considered just pushing for that.

They can be pretty rude to both of them, which is why I'm proud there haven't been any outright murders here yet.

[spiritedtrident]

I don't think Sidon would murder; a corpse is a terrible listener.

Hey! The animal that Vah Ruta was based off of!

It's bigger than I thought it'd be.

[spiritedtrident]

if you see it again please tell it hello from me

[fingerboardrhapsodist]

I probably will, there's a whole herd outside the mineshaft I just wandered into. Will do, though.

[spiritedtrident]

more than one, oh how exciting!

[fingerboardrhapsodist]

Saw five adults and two little ones. Unsure how old they are, but they were small enough to potentially be babies.

At least comparatively. I'm kind of small here. Like...the size of a darner kinda small.

[spiritedtrident]

i hope you do not scare them

My brother in law is the ruling party of our homeland and he's trying to avoid a specific noble that wants him to make some stupid thing into a law. Won't tell me what it is, just that it's absolutely stupid and the man trying to weasel into getting his way is basically out for his own interests.

This is apparently the same noble that bitched about there not being enough art in the castle when we were still cleaning it of rubble and rebuilding. So I don't doubt how absolutely dim and self serving this paper is.

The reason I'm not allowed to interact with this noble is I threatened to kill him once, but in my defense, he started the fight and also pushed me to that point. It was over what tree to put in the courtyard. I won the argument, though. That's where Trent is.

[spiritedtrident]

i am very curious...

[fingerboardrhapsodist]

I'm figuring he wants to expand the area he has influence. It's the only thing I can think that Link would need to approve like that? Though I admittedly don't know a lot about that stuff anyways.

Unless you meant about Trent. Trent is a sentient tree that likes to punch shit. I brought Trent from another world because I'm a dick like that.

[spiritedtrident]

No i knew about Trent
