re: descriptive ship names for fs ships…. i fucking LOVE using colour combinations to refer to them. magenta for redvio. teal for glue. indigo for viblue. “gred” is really funny to me so i haven’t come up with a good combo for them, but i associate them with bloodstained or burning (red) grass or wheat stalks (green). similarly, “bludow” is a really fun name for them, but i Love the “deep sea” idea you floated (pun intended). reddow could be shaded embers….
AAAAAAA. FS SHIPS. MY FAVORITE.
I absolutely love the color-combos you brought up, and might I propose Red Caladium for Green/Red?
Idk it feels very Them-Core
I honestly like using more elemental-based names for their ships, and I shall now dump the main ones HERE:
(Pagebreak because it got long)
Magma / Lava: Red/Vio - Since the difference between the two names is just if it's on top of or beneath the earth's crust, I'd probably use one or the other depending on who I want to portray as the Head of the relationship (if there IS a head, sometimes it's clear NEITHER of them have their lives together lol)
Steam: Red/Blue - Since water, when it hits its boiling point, turns into steam, I think that when these two are really feeling in-synch, it's obvious that Blue is more energized/less burdened by a LOT, and Red is happy to make Blue happy <3
Updraft: Red/Green - Red is the ultimate hype-man, and since air rises when it's warmer, I think it's really sweet to name their relationship as such since it shows how much Red helps with Green's self-esteem! Uplifting king.
Sunset: Red/Shadow - When the sun dips below the horizon, warm sunlight and shadows begin the mingle. I am certain that once they get over that odd "Uuuuuhhhh sorry I was evil" thing, they'd be very, VERY comfortable around each other. Like Shadow feels safe enough to drop his guard and sleep with Red in the room comfortable (the last time that happened Vio nearly killed him)
Trench: Vio/Blue - Mostly thinking of the Mariana Trench here, this could also triple as a poly ship with Shadow tbh,,,hmmmmmmm
Dust: Vio/Green - When Dirt is kicked up it forms Dust in the Air. Fairly simple, tbh. Green pushes Vio to do more than he's used to, and Vio follows along and has a bit of lighthearted fun along the way, even if he wasn't sure at first.
Cavern: Vio/Shadow - Their relationship started off mostly empty, but if they decide to venture into its vast depths, they'd find a vast array of treasures and life within it <3 they just need to take that step and reconcile.
Fog: Blue/Green - Fog is the result of concentrated moisture in the air, reducing visibility and making the air feel stuffy. I personally subscribe to the idea that Blue is actually kind of clingy, though he would usually never admit it. Definitely a very post-canon dynamic for them, Blue would need to get over his odd jealousy of Green being the "Most Link", THEN he'd be able to feel safe/allowed to reach out/cling.
Deep Sea: Blue/Shadow - You brought it up again, but I want to elaborate on my reasoning further! I think that they'd have a hard time getting close since they both think they'd hurt each other, and the pressure of the others forming bonds with Shadow would definitely make both of them feel obligated to try and talk. The more they interact and learn about each other, the more they realize they BOTH have a few screws loose and end up being a solace to one another. Blue can show his stranger sides, and Shadow can make jokes he feels too uptight to say around the others (who he sees as pristine/clean, and he doesn't want to dirty them, in a way. Blue's more like a work-towel, for lack of better words-often clean, but definitely stained and willing to get messy.). The Deep Sea is full of creepy crawlies, and I think they'd bond over their own darker aspects eventually. (Can you tell I love these two and want to write them more??? So few fics about them on Ao3, and the main ones I could find were either like. Torture-porn. Which is NOT my vibe. Or not updated since 2015. I should write them more I love them)
Stormcloud: Green/Shadow - I think these two would be at-odds a lot of the time, but they'd find their middle-ground. Just because Green understands that Shadow has done good things doesn't mean he can overlook literally everything else. It would take a while, but I think they'd eventually be comfortable enough to open up about their internal conflicts and come to a conclusion that makes them both happy (kissing sloppy-style lol)
Kaleidescope: All of them at ONCE - I love to associate these losers with butterflies, and fun fact! A Kaleidoscope, while yes is a toy full of colorful knickknacks that makes cool patterns when you twist them, is also the proper name for a Group of Butterflies. Their metamorphosis throughout their stories and into their future is so intriguing and they're delicate yet so resilient and AUGH. I LOVE THEM. 99% of what I write is this ship EVENTUALLY, if I make multiple pairs of them kiss then I would definitely make them all kiss each other. It's common sense.
Lmao sorry for the MASSIVE dump X3
Tysm for the ask AND the follow, and have a good day!
Hey Fire! I'd love to hear your opinion or rating on wach Four Sword ship
Assume you mean each FS ship?? In which case sure :]
Discussion under the cut in case anyone is uncomfortable with Linkshipping
Short answer is I honestly have no ships in FS that make me go yucky!! No!! (Unless it's like, illegal stuff. But I haven't seen any of that in FS tbh).
Whenever I think about shipping the characters it's usually in my brain an AU of the boys choosing to stay split after the manga and essentially becoming their own beings instead of just "Link". Is it still weird? Yeah. But will I still fall head over heals for shipping tropes like a buffoon? Yeah 😔
Love Vidow ofc. I mean they desperately need couples therapy but goddamn I love them so much. They are both kinda assholes and I respect that.
I'm so silly for Red/Blue. I also think they have a lot to learn. Like Blue can still be snappy w Red and Red gets way too touchy feely when Blue tells him not to. And I love the idea of them learning together while being oblivious lil lovebugs! I'm so starved for Red/Blue ngl 😭
Those are the main two. If anything though I think there's a severe lack of polyshipping. Like just throw them all in a pile together w Zelda and Shadow and maybe Erune and there you go! That's me and my GF's favourite thing lol.
Only monogamous ship I'm a little eh about is Vio/Red. But that's only because of this one fic I read (if you think you know you probably know fhdgdfc) and I can only associate them with that goddamn fic...
Artwork I mentioned in prior post about Blue's hair. This was for a Four Sword Holiday Gift Exhange last year on a server I'm in. This took more time than I care to admit to complete but I did enjoy myself when creating it. I haven't drawn these babs in the longest time since this but I wanted to share in on here since I didn't have this blog when I orignally created it. @gaylactic-fire helped a lot when i was orignally doing this and I'll always be grateful for them because of their help.
Click for a bit of better quality on the imagines. One with and without a background because I couldn't decide when I created this.
haven’t drawn my RGBY fankids in a while, so here they are!! jade, ivy and cream were adopted a few years after the kantet got married.
jade is the oldest and is very studious and booksmart. she’s responsible but gets pretty annoyed by her sisters’ antics. she loves em tho
ivy is the middle child and is kind of a gremlin. she picks on cream a lot (not maliciously) and pretends she doesn’t love her fam (she does tho <3)
cream is the youngest and is a very pure gorl. she carries around a teddiursa plushie wherever she goes and cannot commit wrong. angel.
(for clarification, the way RGBY’s relationship in my hc works is that red is dating yellow and green, yellow is dating red and blue, but blue isn’t dating green and green isn’t dating yellow. so like this: G > R > Y > B)
