I sit down. I open my doc. I crack my knuckles. I prepare to write. A tumbleweed blows across my completely empty mind. I close my laptop. I lay down. I die.

Take two because I accidentally posted this on the wrong acc 😔

I am no artist, and I did download a mannequin off of Pinterest in order to draw these because anatomy is hard, but I wanted to try to draw some of the outfits I’ve designed for the links, so here are the first three!!

Past’s tunic is definitely more of a dress than a tunic, and they also have a corset! Tune’s outfit was HEAVILY inspired by Will Turner, I’m not even gonna deny that one. I used one of his outfits as a reference and then just tweaked it. And for Warriors, it’s pretty much his in game tunic but longer and with more gold designs because he’s fancy

At some point I will try to draw them actually and not just their clothes, but for now I hope these are good enough. Again, I am not artist, I just sketch sometimes

This is not going to be a comic, it’s going to be a written story, but I will do my best to draw occasionally :)

ik i made a post about this ages ago but it is a firm belief of mine that Time would destroy the entire chain in just dance by half heartedly waving around the remote while people like Wild and Warriors give themselves injuries because theyre dancing like its a life or death situation and ive been thinking a lot about this lately

[crazylittlejester]

okay im gonna say something crazy and i need people to hear me out.

i see all this “War will mean well but say something that hurts Wild” this and “War will do something that reminds Wild of the army and traumatize him” that, but guys the sword swings both ways. War has his FULL memories of the war. He has ALL that trauma hanging over his head and he suffers from it constantly. Wild could very easily say something (like a command or something because his brain wants Warriors to shut up sooooo bad it’s the first thing that pops into his head and he says it before he can thinm) to WAR that could catch him off guard and completely shut him down Just As Easily. Wild isn’t some like. helpless victim, leaving him alone with War isn’t going to kill him. Wild has just as much potential to accidentally cause harm to War’s mental health and fuck him up

I don’t think either of them would do anything to hurt the other on purpose, like they’re teammates and they’re so so so similar they could be besties. But sometimes words carry heavier weight than the speaker intends, and things could be tense. But GENUINELY, Wild could do just as much damage

Warriors prepared himself for Twilight to die and still isn't over it, an analysis by me

I wrote a ton of analysis posts going into further detail on how uncharacteristically down Warriors was acting in nearly every update since Twilight was first injured, so I'm not going to do super in depth on the stuff prior to the most recent arc, but to recap:

(art cred @/linkeduniverse from Sunset 13)

When Twilight was talking about how he could literally feel himself dying, Wars was like the only one who wasn't horrified, he looked accepting in a way. He's a soldier, he fought in a war, he's very used to death. He tried to keep everything together and help the others as best as he could, and I'm just making an assumption that there was a lot he did behind the scenes to help care for the others when Time was with Twilight and Hyrule in Sunset 14. We see Warriors smile and joke around in Dawn 2 when he sees Twilight is okay, but it seems like followig this initial relief he's a bit more down than usual, he also seems a little tired

(Dawn 3)

The Dawn arc really brought out a much different side of him than we'd seen before, he had lower energy and while previously he'd been screwing around and cracking jokes, we saw him tell Legend and Hyrule in Dawn 7 to stop poking fun of Sky and stop interrupting, which was something he himself had literally done in Regroup

and while Warriors does go back to acting more like himself towards the end of the Dawn arc into where we are now, he sticks VERY close to Twilight in like every update since

I mean he was even the one to bring him his horse in Dawn 9

And in today's update, Central Room 2, him telling Time his whole plan really just seems like HE'S the one who desperately needs to keep an eye on Twilight:

Wars, sweetheart... "If you're that concerned, I could keep an eye on him" king it's okay to be worried about your friend, promise 😭

I just think he really really prepared himself for Twilight to die so that he'd be able to keep himself together and help the others grieve and now that Twilight's NOT dead he's a Bit worried about him, because it's probably hitting him now how terrifying the whole situation was. Like yeah he knew it was bad, that's why he's so stressed out about Wild and is being a bit overprotective of him, but I think the EMOTIONS and the stress are starting to hit him, but he can't suddenly let it slam into him so he's trying to play it off like "it's okay Time i'll watch the rancher" as if he ALSO can't leave Twi alone for two seconds. He's just as bad as Time is lmao

anyways this is all just my opinion i just wanted to share my thoughts, hes my special guy 🫶

[crazylittlejester]

he just gets away with it, unlike the others

[crazylittlejester]

had an idea of Twilight getting real excited for whatever reason and hugging the absolute shit out of Warriors. like running up to him and grabbing him and lifting him up off the ground and just squeezing him to death (ofc giving Warriors plenty of time to run away from him if he was not in a mood to be touched because as excited as Twi gets he will always respect War’s boundaries), and as he’s like spinning him around and War is half heartedly grumbling at him and pretending to try to push him away, Twilight squeezes him real good and War’s back just explodes like a fire cracker. like a very loud very audible noise of his spine popping is heard and Twi just absolutely freezes. and they just stare at each other with incredibly wide eyes like “oh good gods” and Twi gently sets him back down and after they continue to stare at each other for a good long while Twi’s just like “are y- are you okay-“ and War is just standing there like “my back pain is gone- thanks….?”

ill write something for this when im less tired but i did wanna share the idea now cuz i thought it was silly and stupid

[crazylittlejester]

ive had this in my drafts for the LONGEST time but yknow what im in A Mood today and i have strong feelings on this so

i lied put your clothes back on im gonna tell you about how 1. canonically in his game Warriors appears to be an incredibly introverted and quiet person and even in LU canon his loud personality appears to be an act while Wild on the other hand is a high energy chatterbox extrovert instead of the other way around (he does not have to canonically SPEAK to interact with others and the yiga rely on his tendency to talk to strangers SO MUCH that thats how they try to trick him), 2. how some people’s infantilization of Wild makes ABSOLUTELY no sense considering this is the kid who woke up, grabbed a stick, and went “Okay, alright then” and then proceeded to just go fucking batshit, he is clearly independent and capable, and 3. how annoying it is that people treat him as if he’s a wild ‘feral’ animal and not a person considering he always looks well put together and is incredibly polite whenever he talks to people (or a little sassy some times if you choose those dialogue options, but either way he CAN communicate and he does so well). in this essay i will-
