#leuga talk

Holy cow, I did not expect to get this many messages if any at all.  O.o

Don’t worry I’ll explain in a different post where I can expand on “Mother Dearest” and how she came to be.

But dang, fam...  Protection Squad 2017

So I was asked a question, and I didn’t know if they wanted to be known, so I’ll also answer here!

They asked if Skali had an official mom. 

Skali and Leuga do not have official moms. I created them because of my readers and so I consider anyone who reads my fics with them to be their parents. If they want to be, that is. 

Overtime I did think about creating new ocs to fill the void, but I didn’t really like it the more I thought about it. It felt better to have the readers be their mom/dad/parental figures, so that way the reader has a more personal relationship with Skali and Leuga. 

There is no background to their parent’s, because I rather have you, the reader, incorporate your own story on what happened.  I only write the interactions, but I will never describe what their parent (you/your oc) looks like. 

My other characters do have parents since they’re not a child of a canon character. Hope that solves some things, ‘cause I do remember getting asks about Leuga’s mom.  Anymore questions or inquiries, I’d be happy to answer!

Is there a way to make leuga blush? What does his s/o have to do?

Showering him in excessive compliments, he gets flustered and will blush. Mention his stuff animals for a teasing blush. Grab his fins on his hip and he’ll yelp with blush down to his clavicle.   

All these attempts will make him grumble under his breath though and s\o will have a sour baby to deal with.

Hello!! I was just wondering was leuga inspired by some of the orignal desgins of twilight princess's link's water tunic?

Not the water tunic but definitely inspired by the grungy style and aesthetics since it’s my favorite game in the series for one of those reasons.  But his design was overall to stand out since my headcanon for half breeds are ‘mutated’. 

….if you can’t guess my aesthetics I like dark and weird things.

Does Leuga glow? If so, what does he look like at night?

When I first designed him, I had every intention that half-breeds zoras become like deep sea creatures on the result of mutated genetics, so Leuga’s design here shows his frills/fins (whatever they’re called, brain ain’t working too much today v~v;;) does glow. But I am unsure if I should keep him that way…. x:

While walking does he hop since his legs are sortof melded together? Or are thete other things he does to get around on land?

Was about to tag you, but since you’ve sent this I’ll put it here!

Like a gorilla he walks with his arms, but uses his whole body to move. I couldn’t word it well, hope this helps!

Could you describe Leuga's relationship with Sidon? Like do they spend much time together and what they like doing or talking about when they get the chance? Thank you! I'm so addicted to your writing and original characters!

Leuga and Sidon’s relationship (discussion)

Sidon is Leuga’s biggest supporter as anyone can guess and Leuga loves his father very much. They have a very good relationship where Sidon makes himself available for anything that is troubling Leuga and vice versa.  Although Leuga is kind of poor in comforting others, but he does care and does his best. Him and Sidon joke around a lot and have great conversations.

 However, it’d be ludicrous to think their relationship is picture perfect, which it is not. Leuga considers himself a realist while Sidon is definitely an optimist. Sometimes Sidon’s optimism gets on Leuga’s nerves and thinks his father does not think situations completely through. Whenever there is a conflict within the domain, their ideals of how to handle it can really conflict. Sidon is more patient in these debates, but Leuga can get a little heated and frustrated.  Leuga looks at the issue as a whole and tries to explain every possible outcomes, but Sidon believes more things can work themselves out.

 When Leuga was a “teenager” his mind was very immature and quick to jumping the gun, so to speak. This has actually caused Sidon to become very cross and disappointed at Leuga’s behavior, but he is aware at the time Leuga just wasn’t mature enough to handle the situation(s). Sidon has reservations on his son, more out of protectiveness rather than doubting Leuga’s capabilities.

 When Leuga was growing up Sidon did not want to give Leuga special treatment for anything. Of course, he makes the accommodations like Leuga’s water chariot and such, but when it came to training and his education, Sidon did not skimp out on the difficulty. Sidon wanted to push Leuga enough that so he would not feel dependent and reliant on anything or anyone. Leuga, at the time, did not really understand this and had some conflictions if Sidon’s love was true or not. Eventually when he grew older he now understands why Sidon did what he did and is actually very grateful for it. Leuga does not want to be dependent on anyone and happy Sidon pushed him.

 They actually do spend a lot of time together since Leuga is next for the throne. He shadows Sidon majority of the time to learn to be a proper King and get used to the duties. There are times where Sidon has to leave and Leuga remains at the Domain to oversee things, but when they do spend time together it is usually in competition. They love to challenge each other and both are great sports, so if either side loses there is no hard feelings. They love to spar and most of the time is it underwater.

 They play archery quite a lot, but Leuga’s echolocation can only go so far on land, but worry not! Sidon has remedy this situation. The targets have bells or placed in areas with winds strong enough to create vibrations but not enough to knock them over.  This helps Leuga out immensely. If they spar underwater, hoo boy, Sidon has a dangerous streak because he has trained Leuga to use harpoons. The spectacle under water has become kind of a festival for the Zora folks and they will, from a safe distance, watch the father and son duke it out.  

 But for more relax activities is board-games. Zora’s have created their own games, and some are rather similar to chess. Sidon will verbally confirm his placement for Leuga and out of habit, Leuga does the same. They’ll spend hours playing these games and talk about random stuff, but majority of the time they are in silence. They spend most of their time together so they are aware of each other’s days.  Other times it is discussing how to better the Kingdom and what Leuga will have to do when he takes the throne.

 But I’ll hush now cause I could make a 10 page essay about these two.

Is there anythibg you want me to include/know while I write it up? I'll do my best to include as much as I can. Also, it'll take a while since I'm busy, I might post it in a few days or so and it'll most likely be in parts. Hope that's okay :)

He’s humble, but not overly so. Umm, he takes a few seconds to respond, just a habit, and speaks shortly. He tries to get to the point when speaking. Very observant, can be down to earth, and patient. 

Mm, but he can get crossed if no one listens to his warnings, or others are put in danger if can be avoided. He can be serious, and not as relax as his father. Considers himself a realist. 

He can’t ‘see’ others very well out of water, and mostly pays attention to those not too far away.
