Been thinking and honestly I wanna change one thing about Tears of the Kingdom (technically like three idk)

When Rauru's Secret Stone fell, Link picks it up first.

Its already suggested/theorized that he has time-based powers thanks to his flurry rush and bullet time, the Secret Stone would empower that. It would also be cool to get a glimpse at what Link could potentially do with a Secret Stone, without giving the player something so overpowered. Link picks up the Stone, his Time Powers don't do much against Ganondorf's Darkness and the Master Sword breaks. As he's reaching out for her, he drops the Stone while thinking Save her. Zelda catches the stone and disappears into the past, Rauru catches Link and takes him to the Room of Awakening to Heal. This makes Zelda's confusion over how to return to her own time feel a little less "Its my own fault I can't get back" and more "This is all I can do". Zelda trains with Rauru instead on how to use her Light Powers and her Secret Stone, while Sonia makes an attempt to reach the future, her powers aren't enough to send Zelda back but she does receive the Master Sword. Together, Zelda and Rauru are able to repair the Master Sword while figuring out what to do. Sonia dies to Ganandorf, Rauru seals him away, and Zelda realizes that the Master Sword is in no way ready to be used against Ganondorf even in the future and becomes the Light Dragon to empower the Master Sword.

This gets rid of the (read: my) confusion over how Zelda's Time Secret Stone turned her into a Light Dragon when swallowed, and overall feels like a more cohesive story

Just picked up Ivypool's Heart and my first critique?

Why is it so short, this has got to be the shortest super edition ever, it may as well have been a novella or a graphic novel, this will take me like two hours to read through at most.

Erins, what are you doing?

I kinda like the idea of certain suffixes being (loosely) clan specific, loosely as in technically any clan can use them but only with permission

Shadowclan: -shadow, -shade

Riverclan: -brook, -stream

Windclan: -wind, -breeze

Thunderclan: -spark, strike

I just think it would be cool and add a bit to clan relations, and think about what it could be mean for the new warrior, that their leader felt them deserving of a non-typical name and the honor to go with their leader to prove to the other clan that they deserved it

[brindlestorm]

Objectively I know that I haven't done anything wrong and that some people just suck, but it seriously feels like the universe is out to get me and I don't understand what I've done to deserve all this crap I'm being put through

[brindlestorm]

For real tho, why does Ganondorf's dragon form remind me of a puppy? The main three dragons just look cool, Zelda looks kinda silly, but Ganondorf? I just want to give him head scritches

GoFundMe

Hey guys, so these past few months have been a little rough. I finally decided to set up a gofundme to help with that, you can read the whole story on the page but basically, I’m a month and a half behind on rent and after my cats emergency vet bill, I’m a little in the hole. As you all know, I’m working on getting a new job so I’m mostly confident that I can pay back most of this on my own, but I’d really appreciate the help, all my rent money goes towards paying off my grandfather’s mortgage before we have to sell the house. Also, some of you may know that prior to writing fics I used to post MAP scripts! What I did with those was just post the altered lyrics to fit specific scenes, but on my own time I’ve added to them to give detailed scenes and tell a more interesting story. If any of you are or know some MAP creators who may be interested, please share this with them so I can show them the scripts and discuss prices, DM me if that interests you, I don’t think it’s common to sell just scripts and quite frankly seems a little backwards, but I’ve had these collecting dust and I’d do anything to help pay these bills. Thank you to those who can donate and to if you can’t, you can still help by reblogging this! Goal: 0/600

Never thought I'd say this but I think 2022 is my year!

I got away from my toxic family, made new friends, had a health scare but that's been fixed, a cute guy asked me out and we're already planning a second date, and just now I got a call back from a place I applied to because a new job opened up!

I have honestly never had a year this great, I really hope the last two months follow this trend

AU where Thunderclan is successfully driven out during eclipse

Hollypaw is injured and heals (in secret) in Shadowclan

Thunderclan joins Skyclan at the gorge

Hollypaw is too injured to speak, so Shadowclan doesn't find out until the next gathering.

Wind and River suggest shifting the borders now that Thunderclan is gone, Shadowclan's lack of involvement and knowledge of the attack allows them to claim some territory as well, and grants Riverclan to the rest of the marshes.

Hollypaw wakes up in Thunderclan camp and thinks that her clan won the battle. Then she sees Littlecloud in the medicine den, but it doesn't fully sink in until she rushes into the clearing and can only smell Shadowclan.

At first Holly is terrified that she's being held prisoner and that Shadowclan fought against Thunderclan. As it turned out, they had been waiting for Hollypaw to heal so that she could join the search parties.

Blackstar insisted on taking most of the woods around the old Thunderclan camp and occupying it so that Windclan wouldn't get any ideas, while also maintaining use of the Shadowclan camp.

Blackstar's plan is to locate Thunderclan quietly and bring them back, then make a show of supporting their return at the following gathering. (Outwardly, his attitude is very much "Oh sweet you're back, yeah we kept your nests warm for you. It's great to still have four clans!)

Skyclan returns as well, which sparks the border arguments early, but it's also 3 clans against 2 which works out great in the short run.

Hollyleaf warrior of Shadowclan??? Yes please
