Hiya! I'm Two (short for 217), I'm in my 20s, agender (they/them), aroace / ficto-exclusive, and I really love cats!
Revali's been one of my top main beloveds ever since a friend convinced me to get BotW in 2019, or rather, ever since I found out about his journal. He means so much to me. I may have a long f/o list, but he's one of the ones with an especially special place in my heart on there.
🐦 BYF [tl;dr: we are anti-harassment and anti-censorship in this house. Fandom police please find the door]
I'm selective sharing for Revali, but honestly it's fine in 99% of all cases, so I'm really only using the term to cover my bases. If you like him too, I high five you for your superior taste.
this is a sideblog, my main is @szammy. Yeah, it looks like that. Tumblr nerfed me back in 2018. Sorry.
You might know me from my inofficial main @seeyouonsaturn (transformers/ficto blog), or a plethora of other sideblogs! You can check that blog for more info btw 🩵
Fun fact: I cannot pronounce the english R, which means I am physically unable to actually say Revali. He's just Vali to me. After so many years, I like to imagine he's fond of the nickname 🩵
🐦 I'm often mistaken for a selfshipper (I do use the tags but my ficto-attraction is real and not a hobby), but aside from my irl relationship, I much prefer oc x canon ships to self-inserts. Oc creation is my favorite thing, and I like the creative freedom of independent ocs that aren't just me slightly to the left.
That said, I do have ships with Revali – three of them, funnily enough. Somehow, every time I rejoin the fandom, I lose interest in the former ones and get inspired to create a new one instead. Not sure what that says about me.
The first one is my oc, a Rito named Feye. The second one is a human self insert named Lark that's literally just me but cooler and created for self-indulgent purposes because, I confess, Vali is special and I want him for ✨️myself✨️. They're probably a mary-sue and I have no shame about it. I am cringe but I am free. I still love my girl Feye though <3
The current cat of the month is Fern, the Ayun Champion, which is my own fanspecies! I love species creation and I love cats – hopefully i'll get around to dropping more info about them soon!
As i AM an oc enthusiast... here's my ocs for this fandom <3
🐦 Aina | hylian | sorta-shipped with Link (more of a zelink qpp kinda situation) [mostly-retired]
🐦 Cheli | hylian/yiga | no ship | has a pet lizard named Mr. Banana
🐦 Feye | rito | shipped with Revali | we have no happy endings in this house [i want to change her name to Fei but it's so much work to edit it all]
🐦 Fern | ayun [original species] | coming soon!
🐦 Irinu | zonai | shipped with Ganon (negative)
🐦 Nila | zora | no ship | the captain toad of hyrule
as well as ofc my beloved s/i, who doesn't currently have an official name
I'm not a big canon x canon shipper, I've always much preferred oc ships! Also, I'm not fond of Rev*link (only censoring to keep it out of the tag, not because it's a slur lmao). I don't care if you ship it, just don't directly send it to me and we're good 🩵 Miphvali has my heart though. Mipha can stay. I will make an exception because she looks very polite. Also Zelink ride or die ✨️
credits!

the revali gif and my icon were made for me as a gift on amino a few years ago, but i no longer have the credit as amino has died 😔🙏
The Revali character study no one asked for? (/silly)
TLDR: The Revali we see isn't entirely the Revali that is because we learn about him through Link's memories and he acts different around specifically Link.
|| First of all, lets talk about how Revali feels about Link.
|| These are snippets from his diary that are his direct thoughts about Link. Revali is a person that needs everyone to like him (smth smth its his need to feel connected to people and for people to like him cause he grew up without a family) so he does a lot of talking that's mostly boasting, because he feels the need to be amazing at all times (otherwise, in his head, why would anyone like him? :( ) and most of the time he's met with something in return - whatever it is.
|| LINK ON THE OTHER HAND. says absolutely nothing. doesnt respond. doesnt make an expression. Revali has no idea how to read him because he's not good at that (and it's definitely a challenge for someone who IS) and hes not getting any sort of validation OR the opposite! he'd be able to handle someone actively hating him over NOTHING LMAO and because of that he feels the need to fill the silence so he talks even MORE
|| and on top of that!! he knows literally nothing about Link's life before the master sword. He thinks he just pulled a sword out of a rock and magically became a higher rank than he was - and Revali joined the fight against the calamity just to be back up for him? Revali was nothing less than furious! He worked his entire life to be strong and the best warrior there is and yet because of a single sword he will never be able to reach that goal.
|| and he takes that frustration out on link. its not right of him to do that, but its the only thing he CAN do in his head. his job is to pilot vah medoh (and he thinks he couldnt even do THAT right, considering he lost) and then he has to admit, after 100 years of being stuck as a ghost on that divine beast that they were right about Link. He did something Revali couldn't do, and Revali is too dead to beat it. Link won. and it lowk haunts him
|| And that, is all we see in the game. Because its a story told through Link, and this^^ is how he feels about and acts towards him, of course thats what people think his whole character is.
|| theres so much more to that though!!
|| Everything Revali boasts about? He isn't lying. He isn't even bending the truth even slightly - this is not someone making themself out to be better than they are. Everything he hoasts about is true, and he'll prove it to you in a second if you even dare question it. He worked his tailfeathers off his entire life to prove himself and he isn't going to let that just fall away!!
|| and also. all of the other champions were born with their ability to some extent. zelda's was prophesized, urbosa's and daruk's are carried down to their decendants so we can only assume it was just. born with. and mipha's we know she's always had. this is not to downplay the other champions! even if you are born with an ability you have to work on it for a long time - and they did. But Revali was the first Rito to do anything like he did. And he did it himself with no help from the other Rito, other groups, even the gods themselves. Thats part of why he doesn't like Link and his sword he pulled out of a rock (his opinion not mine) because he just got chosen for his thing? and revali worked day and night tirelessly to create his? wooft man
|| and even then. on top of that. on top of needing validation. theres part of him that hates being perceived. he wants, desperately, to be wanted and loved and yet he cant stand being shown as this amazing rito prodigy and not as him. Revali wants to be loved and known for what he is, and not the way Champion Revali is viewed. (AND THIS TIES IN SO WELL TO MY RESURRECTED VERSE!!!! BECAUSE HE'S LIVING IN AN AGE WHERE HE HATESSSSSSSSS BEING VIEWED AS A LEGEND)
|| and also bonus note to revali! he can actually be really nice. he's actually friends with zelda canonically ^^ and because he's friends with her he has let enough of his walls down for her to get this inner glimpse of him without all of his bravado. *points like a propaganda poster* and your muse can to if you want (even if its Link if you want but it would take a while and probably needs to take place in an a.oc timeline or in an au of some sort)
I really want to start posting about my tomodachi adventures because in the one week i've had the game i've taken about a thousand screenshots, but my problem is that i have characters from various fandoms in there, and i use separate sideblogs for all of them.
Probably going to start posting them here and reblogging them to the other sideblogs if applicable? Because this is just my main at this point. Also I do apologize in advance because there is a lot lmao (though who knows if i'll ever find the energy to make all those posts)
I'm gonna tag them with #little whiskers island adventures (my island name) in case anyone is tired of seeing that game everywhere and wants to block that tag (i get it but unfortunately i too am insane) <3
Tagging the relevant sideblogs under the cut just for myself (but ofc come join me over there if we share more fandoms!!)

and possibly in the future also @sunspot-in-storm [botw/totk]
Love love love totk/botw link. He’s amnesiac, he’s 121 years old. He’s the godesses favorite little guy [this is not a good thing for him] his friend group comprises entirely of two children, a rock man who used to sell drugs, his fish-ex girlfriends brother, his cyborg aunt he frankensteined out of ancient robotics. His girfriends a dragon, his sword has a gender and you will respect her pronouns, all his friends are dead. Its all his fault. Hey, wanna see him do a shield-surf kick-flip onto a moblins back via explosive barrel.
