Have you heard from Emily? I don't want to invade any privacy, but I do worry about her. When she deactivated I know she was dealing with a lot irl. You two were the reason I finally started my own drarry blog and really... the two of you were like "blogger goals". I'm sorry if this is inappropriate, I'm really not trying to be nosy. She was just a total sweetheart every time we spoke and I often wonder if she's ok.

Hi anon! I am still in touch with Em (the old well-done-draco, for those of you who don’t know. That URL is now someone else). I contacted her, and she decided she wanted to explain herself directly. This is all from her:

“Basically, it came down to my mental state and how I was spending my time. Sort of. I was dealing with (what felt like) a lot at the time. Three of my best friends cut me out of their lives after what felt like a regular night (sort of). Things ended horribly for our whole group and they ended up being REALLY mean to me and that was stressful in itself. I’ve never dealt with mean girl bullying in the way I have from them after everything went down, and the fact that they used to be my best friends made it even harder and reminded me why I didn’t go to high school, haha. So there was that. My relationship with my parents, sisters, and other best friends were pretty shot and I felt horrible. I’d kept so many secrets from them and they all felt really betrayed. It might not seem like a lot of secrets were kept because I was like an open book on this site. But I didn’t tell them ANYTHING. Everything about me was totally fabricated. I was afraid of telling them what was going on in my head and in my everyday life when in reality they were nothing but loving and supportive which was NOT what I was expecting. I needed to focus on rebuilding the relationships I’d been ignoring. That included my relationship with God. I really let that one go. A lot of you might not believe in God, but Christianity has always been a fundamental part of my character and I didn’t feel complete without it being a huge piece of my life. I think the vast majority of people involved in fandoms, shipping, fanfiction, you name it, use it as a fun hobby. A pastime, something fun to do in their free time. For me, after I realized how bad all my relationships, friendships, priorities, EVERYTHING were, I used Tumblr and social media to escape all that, and it wasn’t healthy. It wasn’t healthy for me to be spending that much time online. I love you guys. I ADORE you guys. But I couldn’t put my laptop or phone down for like two minutes before checking tumblr again to see how many notes my most recent post had gotten, to read a new fanfic, to get lost in the fantasy of it all. I was obsessed and it wasn’t good. I considered coming back after I’d posted a little bit of what was up with me and what I planned to do, but then I made the horrible mistake of checking my asks and let’s just say… it wasn’t pretty to look at. And what the anons had to say kind of reaffirmed that I wasn’t yet ready to be active online again. I basically just went radio silent for a period of time on all social media platforms.So, I don’t know if that gives a clear answer to you. I know that I miss you guys beyond words, but I also know that I am just not ready to come back yet, and I hope you understand. I am also SO grateful for the relationships I’ve made with people all over the globe because of this site. As unhealthy as my habits both on and offline were, I made some really awesome friends. Sara included (I love u Ogof❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭). You guys were always there, 24/7. All of you guys who might be reading this are amazing, and I am incredibly thankful for you.Yes, I’m okay now. As soon as Sam and the other girls cut me out, I found who my real friends are, cheesy as that may sound. I’m obnoxiously happy. There’s been some hard stuff I’ve had to deal with because actions have consequences, but things are turning out. I so appreciate that you were thinking of me. I think of you guys all the time. ❤️😭, it came down to my mental state and how I was spending my time. Sort of. I was dealing with (what felt like) a lot at the time.

Ahh, well that makes sense! Sometimes I feel like I have one main hc for botw Link but then ideas that don't make sense so it's just branching possibilities. That sounds like it'll be interesting if you end up making it! Aw bless him, hoping for memories from it and perhaps a boost of courage from remembering who he was to get him to go up and fight and free Zelda. Honestly I also would have put off beating Ganon too, had I not accidentally landed in his fight. I didn't realize you could still play and complete side quests after fighting Ganon so I wanted to do as much as I could before facing him (I was trying to get the side quests in the castle cause I'd heard there were nicer weapons there lol). Also! Since the sword isn't even necessary to fight him (which I have Opinions about) conceivably Link could decide to go there without the sword, but I think after hearing so much about it and himself (and probably after getting that memory hearing about how there's a voice) Link would feel he needs it to beat Ganon and that takes ages to get the strength for.

yeah lol it gets hard bc I guess there actually Are some ideas I have for bonus slate that don’t apply to my general botw link so,,,,,,idk I just hold a lot of different versions of link in my head at any given time lol I try to make it known which I’m talking abt

Yeah I for sure agree abt him feeling the need to have the master sword. I went and got it and I cheated my hearts to do it lol. although it did just occur to me that it would make things really Interesting if Slate never went to get the master sword,,,,HMMM tucking that thought away for later

I think I even already had the royal guard hat at that point! I was also so scared of accidentally going in and then I did it anyway. lol. I love the boots, they're so pristine it's ridiculous. I pair them with my navy/purple dyed hylian tunic and the desert voe hair for one of my favourite ways to dress Link. There's no real benefit to it, he just looks delightful. Would the comic be Slate Link finding them? Or a Link that might remember wearing them previously? Either seems interesting since past Link would have been quite young when he got them (i know everyone HC's him as different ages but no one seems to beyond 17 and that IS still very young). But also, this is assuming the ones you find were his and not someone else's. I'll be interested to see it when you do it! I love your art so much!

yessss I love the royal guard boots!! dressing link for fashion over function is Good actually

I guess the comic would be with bonus slate? a lot about slate is just my general interpretation of botw link, so it applies either way. I have the script for it written out, it’s mainly abt the guilt of making it all the way to the castle and then not saving zelda. and also a little bit abt the nonsensical hope that having the royal guards outfit will help him remember something. I like to think link puts off finally beating ganon for quite a long time (and not just bc that’s what I did lol)

#And thank you!!#ask #bonus slate #for relevance #most of the bonus links are just my general interpretation of the character the au is throwing them all together lol

Oh i don't mean he's like a child, just like his socialization level is on par with kids which is why he gets them better than adults.. friends, weird, VERY interested in anything. Also, even if he's a someone new from pre-calamity Link I figure he carries himself and has a soul that just has that feeling of oldness to it. But! also that's pretty much what I meant about Thoughts. He's never gonna "get the memories back" if he's still Link or a new person, so it's like what does it mean to wear the bones of the man this was made for? Idk I think that and the champion's tunic would both hold a lot of weirdness for him. (I never have him wear the tunic in my play since i think he'd hate it tbh, which is why I thought your thing about him as Slate having the blue but a different tunic (i think that's what you said?) makes sense to me) (for the memories, since we know they're "Zelda's memories" I figure the third person is cause of some dumb Hylia magic cause he can't see through Zelda's eyes and she thought these were the most important for him to know to continue to be the weapon necessary to his destiny. why else is it only memories of this specific like few weeks? months? kid doesn't even get a memory of him pulling the sword he gets one of Zelda putting it back cause he's really just getting the memory of her story, not his. her resentment, her growth, her "love")

totally agree that he just has this feeling of being an Old Soul. like especially in my interpretation, sometimes he’s just a goofy dude and sometimes he is clearly some sort of Ancient Being, and the juxtaposition can be unsettling.

Also completely agree abt the champions tunic, I never had him wear it in my plathroughs either (and that is what I said abt Slate’s tunic!) those feel like dead man’s clothes. Tho I do kinda hc that he wears it to defeat ganon as like a symbolic gesture.

Oh I forgot the game specifies the memories are zelda’s! I’ve also always thought it was interesting that you only get memories pertaining to Zelda and the Calamity. it does feel like he only gets what’s necessary to do his job

#ask #will be thinking abt ‘what does it mean to wear the bones of the person this was made for’ forever thank u #thanks for the thoughts this was v interesting to read!!#bonus slate #for relevance
