DAY 28- SOUTH LANAYRU SKY ARCHIPELAGO

Link think’s Zelda’s fear of heights is understandable, but his life would be a lot easier if she just let herself get shot out of the skyview towers to go exploring with him. Oh well. Look at all the hearty radishes and weird flowers he’s found! (With no future sight to warn the people of the past, stories left behind are unfinished, unfettered, and incredibly biased.)

(This is a totk-botw au called Familiar Familiar, and it all devolved when Zelda didn’t go back in time. History’s written by the victors…)

I think game archipelagos/multiworld randomizers are the IDEAL way to play games with friends and I will die on this hill. I've been playing multiple archipelagos with my friends and oh my god it is genuinely the best way to both play together and play single player games separately.

You may ask "Well what the hell is it?" and I'll explain with an example of my last game session I am playing Terraria My Boyfriend is playing a Stardew randomizer My Partner is playing Legend of Zelda Link to the Past randomizer My roommate is playing Legend of Zelda OoT randomizer I beat a boss in Terraria which gives me an achivement. Instead of that boss being checked off in my world, it gives my BF an upgraded farming level in Stardew. Roommate opens a chest and sends me Hermes Boots. I use those to get the achievement for crafting Terraspark boots and now Partner has the Master Sword. It goes on like this, where you might get something from your own world but you can also end up giving your friend in an entirely different game items as well. Truly the best kind of Singleplayer Together AND IT CAN BE ASYNCHRONUS, meaning you don't have to play at the same time and instead you can do a long running game where "Oh hey I'm at work and Roomate got me Post-Goblin Army so now I can craft better gear once I find the NPC, nice!" And also for my systems/plurals out there? You can very easily play with your headmates by each of you running your own game in an archipelago session.

"my blue, and your orange... I guess something will remember us." --River Song, Archipelago (The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Star-Crossed)

blue and orange.

orange and blue.

they are intertwined, always.

she is blue, like the TARDIS - his TARDIS, her second mother. blue like the diary modelled after it.

he is orange, like the life she breathed back into him, lifetimes sealed in a single kiss. (clock that blue light flare on river too-!!)

blue and orange. orange and blue. the colours where they come to life.

even his TARDIS interior is blue and orange: the echo of a timeline that still lingers in soft whispers.

from an artistic perspective, these colours were probably only used together so often because they're complementary, which can add depth and distinction to a shot. but still, it feels meaningful: they're complementary. just like river and the doctor. so different, and yet they look and work perfectly together.

now, if you'll allow me to stretch the point a little further, let's go back to lake silencio, at the junction where sand meets water:

(i'm calling this a stretch because i'm well aware the sand is more yellow than orange, lol. but those colours are analogous so... i figured the idea was worth keeping in)

she emerges from the water, so cold, so blue.

he descends from the sands, golden and warm.

they meet where land meets water, orange yellow meeting blue. he is the sun and she his sky, and at 5:02pm, the universe folds itself around them, curling in on the point where these colours converge.
