would tftk monsterzant enjoy being walked around on a leash like a dog?

idunno you tell me

[yiga-hellhole]

would zant be the type to throw his controller at the tv and break it when he gets spooked by a game (minecraft horror mods, for example)

in all honesty? no, i feel like zant is the type to be more careful with his more expensive possessions and value their structural integrity. his Little Things!

that being said, he definitely launches out of his chair and hurts himself. you know it's Gaming Night when there's repeated loud thuds (and crying)

for the ask game: 12, 14, 15, and 17?

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

seriously why the fuck isn't anyone talking about Byrne???? he's such vapid tumblr bait it's crazy. he's a fallen angel type of character who redeems himself at the end but remains goth. everyone should be eating this guy up. mmm yummy 🍽️

14. that one thing you see in fics all the time

characters who wouldn't be insecure in a million years Being insecure. hello? hello? hello? fucking ghirahim?? MASTER KOHGA? HELLO

15. that one thing you see in fanart all the time

not every nonhuman character has to act like a cat. for many it's cute. but some of these people are Fish. Actual Sharks And Manta Rays (oh god don't get me started on taxonomy)

17. there should be more of this type of fic/art

i need to see more mundane life and i need it so bad. @unironicallycringe 's gerudo-bokoblin market scene drawing lives in my head rent free. i need to see ordonian women with babies swaddled on their backs weaving cloth. i need to see zora blacksmiths at work. i need to know how gorons actually harvest their food. oh my god

hmm how about midna?

midna is a bisexual heatsink for everyone in her vicinity. i'd also hazard she's polyamorous. in my headcanon, twili are rather promiscuous, and have a lot of casual flings before settling for one lifelong partner a little bit later in life.

but i think this "promiscuity" to midna doesn't just limit itself to intimacy. throughout the game she's a bit of a flirt to both link AND zelda. if push came to shove, she'd find the idea of choosing between them moronic. she loves both dearly! i genuinely think she wouldn't feel fulfilled with just one partner and desire the company of multiple people, each fulfilling a different sort of niche. each person a different sort of comfort and sanctuary, y'know? or, conversely, someone who's comfortable, and someone who's more exciting! she's just such a larger than life sort of character and wouldn't be tied down by customs. this is the twilight queen and her prince consort. and also her other consort. and her other consort. and h

alright now this one really is an ask

got any more *blink blink* twili headcanons?

why yes i do. let me shake out some random ones!

much of twili cuisine is nigh inedible to just about anyone else. without a sun and constant dim lighting, plants don't really develop any sort of sweetness. you ever had endive? bittermelon? that's how most fruits and veggies taste. a lot of palettes lean towards salty and bitter, with sourness from pickling, and if you're lucky, sweetness, which is basically entirely based off honey. there are some sweet-ish berries that grow in the foresty regions close to the sols but theyre really more like redcurrant than anything else. which is to say, when they eat light world food, twili think it's really bland. they go crazy for the sweets though, those are SUPER rare treats in the twilight realm and they can't fathom things like pears and mangos just growing from trees for free

they have a sub-language that consists off of little moans and hums of minimal syllables. it's not uncommon to see two people meet up, just vibing a bit making minimal noises back and forth, and leave without uttering an actual word. they just had an entire conversation no one else would be able to follow unless they got really good at the intricacies of twilit intonations and social awareness. oh and also zant is really bad at this

only some of them lay eggs. they're an amalgam of all species so the way the babies come out is basically a surprise every time. midwifery is a nightmare. in midna's family, twins are really common!

there is a relatively robust public transportation system in the twilight realm. there are shuttles, but you can also basically rent hoverbikes. the rental scooters you can cram about one driver and two passengers into. you ever play tingle's rosy rupeeland? i'd imagine not. well you'd know approximately what they look like if you did.

twili tattoos can have a variety of sources. all children are born with a family crest. others appear rather spontaneously, like during coming of age. others can appear almost like scarring, like a ring appearing around the calf after you broke your leg. others are stick-n-poke applied by chipping at the outer layer of skin and stimulate the growing of new markings. this is actually really difficult to do without just forming Regular scar tissue that Doesn't glow, so it's a really prestigious job to have. tattoo artists and their apprentices are usually a bit gnarly looking because they practice on each other, failed attempts included. it pays well and you have a job for life but it's at the cost of social standing.

their language, when spoken, can be rather simple, but the script has some excessively complicated variants. there's forms of poetry where it takes great mathematical skill to measure out sentence length to fit all of a poem onto one page in a sufficiently aesthetically pleasing pattern, or ones where the meaning changes entirely depending which direction you read, etc. but also, the word for spark is ji. the word for electricity is jiji. the word for lightning is jijiji. someone being struck by thunder is described as jijijijijiji with more ji's depending on severity of the injury

ok for real now, I’m curious on how you feel about midzant

midzant is a ship i'm on the seesaw about. here's the thing. i don't want him anywhere near her. BUT!

in every dynamic i imagine of midna and zant, they were childhood friends. i love seeing them as "used to be close, but a major moral clash drove them apart irreconcilably". and because zant is the way he is, midna was probably his only friend as a child, and he got a big fat puppycrush on her as a result.

but then the throne came into view. the competition. his desire to break free and get vengeance and her wish to please just let their people have their peace. and it all fell apart

i don't see any appeal of them getting in a relationship as adults, after all that's happened. he squandered those chances. but i think somewhere, even though twisted into something vile by ganondorf's power and his own hunger for power, that childhood love persists, and he cares for her still.

she doesn't though. i want midna to kick him in the kneecaps and never have to look at his ugly mug ever again.

what would make me like them as a ship? nothing. them being kissy kissy cuddle is ten thousand times less compelling than the shitshow i have presented to you just now. it needs to be ashes!! it needs to be nothing!! and everything at the same time!! they need to haunt each other in every way and never reconcile!! DO YOU SEE IT !!!

[yiga-hellhole]

do you think zant would listen to miserable loser music?

i think he listens to industrial, metal, and classical exclusively. he's either writing swirly poetry to the remixes sound of power drills or having a mental breakdown to Gymnopédie No.3

19, 21, 47, and 83?

19. sleeping position?

21. obsession from childhood?

pokemon, but from age 9, legend of zelda! i also really liked littlest pet shop and super mario.

47. favorite type of cheese?

im fake dutch, im not much of a cheese eater. but theres this one cheese with walnuts called Rambol (i think its french) that i can really fuck up on some toast

83. writing or drawing?

writing by a landslide. this shit is easy <- cockiest thing ever said

no but seriously. drawing is fun but i get waaaay more fulfillment out of writing
