Um, hi hello, im just gonna... leave this here.. take care of him for me thx <3
an extra gift for @captaincreative from the LU gift exchange this year 🫶 (pls lmk if this is you on here)
Hopefully these are higher quality than what ended up in the discord </3
This is what happens when you draw Fierce while listening to Lana Del Rey apparantly..
The inpsiration to just make him truly look like a divine man took me over for literal hours 💀 bitch would NOT let me go
(ngl it still might take over again today 😃 having Lana songs stuck in my head is not helping)
I did redraw 2 BOTW screenshots, (*not traced or just colored over, i just put it beside my drawing and stole the palettes)
but the hooded Fierce is actually based on a statue of two lovers, specifically the man looking down at his lover while holding them, and the knight Fierce is inspired by a lady knight photo i saw on pinterest <3
and with that im leaving before i get called a simp on main-
rereading your posts, and id LOVE to hear your thoughts about human curiousity vs hylian curiousity. like imagine guide eating smth chain specifically went "do NOT eat this" and theyre like "oo chocolate" and devoured that shit whole. meanwhile chain are like 😨 because maybe its poisonous yk (im dragging this example out my ass bcs idk if chocolate exists in loz or not)
I wanna say i did smth like this awhile back, but idk and im too lazy and tired to even try and find that one,
also idk if the games support hylians having diff curiosity than humans, like i rlly wnat there to be, but wild/wind/maybe even time's games are giving us a run for our money, i believe
so talking out my ass here too anon lol - i kinda got the impression from a few games that while hylian curiosity may be notorious among most other species on their planet, it isn't as Extreme as humans
like theyre the big fish of their pond for doing crazy shit, but humans are the Kings of Crazy Shit, rulers of the kingdom of Dumb Shit, on the planet of Fuck Around and Find Out type shit
whats that meme of aslan from narnia wait let me find it
ok found it, yeah Humans ^^^ @ hylians
for example, im thinking if a hylian hikes up a semi-dangerous hiking trail up a mountain, most of their planet races are like "goddess wtf is wrong with these tiny hylians" (who mind you, the hylians are typically kinda prepared for their curiosity, for this example, theyd have like food, clothes, a hiking stick, an emergency flare/tent etc.)
but a human would come flying by the well-prepared "crazy" hylian hiking up this trail on a mountain bike, with only their keys/wallet strapped to their body somewhere and maybe, MAYBE a water bottle on the bike as they just yell "ON YOUR LEFT HOMIE!"
humans got the music blasting on the speaker, theyre like standing on teh bike too, maybe theyre scream/singing along to the music if they the real annoying type, probably actually a Red Bull to go with the water tbh, prob holding it while theyre holding on the handles, and they do like two laps on this dangerous hiking trail by the time the sensible hylian has even reached the top once💀
if anyone knows what i mean by the "theres a sports team, then there's Red Bull" like how Red Bull is known for making extreme challenges or sports or getting maybe guiness world records? for the crazy shit theyll hire people to do
hylian = basic sports team/company, wow already going pro damn
humans = whatever the fuck team Red Bull is doing, idk backflipping off Niagara Falls into a trampoline just to see if they could or smth
and i think thatd be pretty funny pretty constantly to see the Links react in real time to that lol
you dont even realize how different the curiosity boundaries are until you see it side by side, and like ivve said in other posts, i think the Chain officially counts as outliers already amongst hylians, in most everything lmao
i.e. most hylians drop food, "damn what a waste",
Links = "ok it wasn't like a soup or something and it fell on the table, I'm eating it"
You, their beloved but violently Human Guide irl now = "5 second rule, its not in a puddle or a pile of shit, blow it off and eat it like a man"
the Chain = 🤏close to scream laughing at you pulling ts in a restaurant
every other hylian in that restaurant =
5 stages of grief fr seeing you drop that apple on the floor, rub it off on your shirt, and chomp right into it LMAO
ok but the Links would become desensitized so quick after being arounf ur human self in person, like they still get caught off guard and pull that bratz reaction meme like above sometimes lol - but for the most part theyre not shocked about the "usual" curiosity you have
like, one time you asked Rulie if he could cast one spell on one hand and another similar one on the other, or if he could cast with his feet, or ears?? ...well, has he tried?
meanwhile the travaler makes eye contact with the vet and they just share this stunned look of understanding like "if he had magic, he would be trying that for himself right tf now, wouldnt he?"
i mean, while Wild was interested in experimenting with the slate, for sure, especially post-update (Totk), but YOU were to blame for the batshit crazy ideas he actually unfortunately brought into existence
(what! you are very persuasive!! and ur his guide, of course hes gonna listen to you, dont look at him like that Wars!!!)
you saw exactly 1 meme of someone making a flying cart in ttok and ever since you'd been on a roll of making the most heinous creations Wild's hyrule had ever seen
he's actually holding You back half the time, (goddess help them all if u have ADHD or something, esp if you were medicated before and are now Not bc of being in a diff world lmfao)
you once recreated giant bowling ball pins just to try and knock a stone talus downhill and alll bc you were just 'curious' to "see if i can get the biggest strike in all of hyrule, duh"
i have this habit of tilting my head a little if I'm confused or curious about something, and i like to think that any sort of habit the heroes visually see you do that they start to assoicate with u getting Ideas, ther's like a literal formation they get into lol, Wars secretly gathered them together early on to plan for it lmao
btw if ur curious (unintentional ironic joke), the formation/" Our Guide gets Curious" Protocol is like them all checking the nearest exits if any, making a loose circle around you, the nearest hylian hero tagging along with you as a Human Guide Minder, keeping an eye on any open flame or pyrotechnics in the area etc LMAO
lowkey lookin like medieval fantasy bodyguards but its those clips of kpop idols running around as their bodyguards desperately try to keep up and herd them away from mischief lol
never forget the faces all the Links made when they passed thru Wild's hyrule and saw some of you "creations"
Wind: "you mean cruel and unusual monstrosities"
meanwhile theres a flying green ship that looks suspicously liek the Black Pearl from Pirates of teh Caribbean flying in the distance, unmanned bc "well i didnt think about there not being an water, and also i forgot an anchor, so you just kinda have to run until you catch it, but dont worry, im in the middle of seeing if I cant turn this old stable no-ones using into a functional horse so we can ride and catch up with it👍"
when asked by a slightly nervous yet deadpan looking Twilight why you made the ship in teh first place, they dont even know what else they were expecting when you answer "i was curious if the slate could help me recreate the Black Pearl and if it the physics of this world would let me make it a literal ghost ship, like flying thru the air and stuff, yknow?"
no, they dont know.
but hey at least they find it infinitely funnier watching other hylians/races see ur shenanigans,
You, after getting the Triforce and turning some of the triangle upside down for the fuck of it: "hmm, how should I put this, I was just... goofing around?"
Everyone else: "... you built a whole time bomb just to goof?"

i almost didnt add bullet points so ur welcome
for the girlies who like bullet points, i mean this was definitely a bullet point type rant but still
ok im tired ill leave this insane way too long ramble here good night
Olaa, kinda new here and my brain just go brr with ur content hehe
Rambling here, ur humans r space orcs, hylian ver really made my endorphin lvls HIGH.
So, a thought. Perhaps some/all of the chain r really being reckless or self-sacrificial that it's become somewhat of a norm and has gotten to a ridiculous amount of times happening and the reader just simply S N A P S.
Like the stress lvls r high and is literally an inch away from pinching them lil twitchy hylian ears til the pain imprints on their brain and makes em remember said pain the moment they even think of another reckless plan or some self-sacrificing bs.But ofc, reader won't do that, unless.....(maybe after the scolding)
So, when they decided to stop somewhere to rest n all, and started to plan, this one plan being so reckless it made the reader's eyebrow simply twitch b4 clenching a hand into a fist and simply striking the conveniently placed huge ass boulder beside em.
The cracking noise gets the attention of most if not all of the chain and they just simply stare as the reader rips em a new one.All the stuff reader yells at em just simply enters one ear and leaves the other as their brains r just really bein like:
'oh.'
'that was hot.'
Masc/Male reader pls. Never knew I needed smth sm in my life tbh 😭
brOO FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS SCENARIO IN THEIR MIND BESIDES ME OMG are u a mindreader or we might be the same person bc ive had this Exact same thought before <3
You when Link (any) tries to make stupid Tragic Protagonist Plans:
lmao ^
i used an excessive amount of meme photos in this, hope we're all ok with that, yeah? yeah, thanks.
☆
Moon: Masc!Reader (he/him/you)
Orbit: Headcanons and Scenario at end… ish, + Hanh AU! humans are Not hylians AU) + Player / Guide!Reader AU
Stars: a taste of everyone (except only a sprinkling of Wind at the end, I was focused on the romance mb🙏)
Comets & Meteors: CWs: display of violence (reader punching rock and breaking it, Not used as a threat) & TWs: explicit talk of self-sacrifice, mention of m*rder-su*cide, not explicit or actually happened, just a sarcastic question about Links tendency to self-sacrifice.
Please comment if I missed any. /gen
☆
ive deadass had this dream - like damn ig all this media of protagonists sacrificing themselves/being reckless with themselves has really taken its toll on us all lol
and you knowww every single one of these mfs are guilty of ts too
not a single innocent hero in any of the hyrules, in any of the timelines,
legit if ur a mf named Link (and ur usually blonde), ur making dumb as shit plans that probably involve u throwing yourself dramatically off or onto or over something or someone to make a some dumb save
No but when I say ur the rock, ur the right hand man, ur the male protagonists level headed male bestie that keeps that mf down to earth whenever he's losing his shit over the plot/villains/savior complex oop i mean what who said that
"I'm gonna throw myself after Princess Zelda because she just fell off a cliff!" No you're not Sherlock. Pull out the glider you've had this entire adventure, or even the grappling hook, and catch her that way.
Fav quotes of urs u yelled at the Links over the course of each of their respective adventures that they shared together after gossiping abt u over the campfire one (of many lol) nights:
"ok, let me hold your hand when I say this… if you dive in front of someone to block them from a Ganon blast, (or whatever the fuck i dont care what its called blondie) … and mind you, thats u being AWARE there's a prophecy about how ONLY you, yes You, LINK, can save us ALL, … and yet you still dive headfirst into the shot instead of pulling out your shield. … do you want to commit a reverse murder-suicide Link? Be honest. "
"Bro, this is too cliche. don't throw urself off a cliff after her, it's cringe Link"
"Yknow this is why my world invented test-dummies."
"hey.. so it's actually Not heroic to be a Loser. I thought that was the whole point of heroes, they're supposed to win. So why would you make plans where you lose "
"I dont know if you know this, but we have strategists. Like, hyrule has strategists. Hylians that make strategies and everything. That's their whole thing, shockingly. Dude, I'm serious, they get paid for this, and you Don't, let's just ask a professional what we should do-!"
"Please, I'm begging you, just get a scarecrow that would literally have the same effect"
"Strike 2. Do not let me get to Strike 3 or you're gonna have to find someone else to sacrifice themselves for you to protect urself from me."
"I will be finding a hylian therapist for you if this behavior continues. Stop."
"I love whatever is wrong with you… but also I'd love that wrongness even more if it wasn't trying to constantly take you out"
(^ that one did get a ditzy entirely oblivious lovestruck look out of Sky when he quoted you saying that)
its just a constant deja vu as every adventure theres the pan of Link looking determined, charging forward into absolute chaos when he doesnt rlly have to, and then cutting back to you standing in the background like:
ffs.
….
omfg
wait, not you suspecting some of them began to do it on purpose for increasingly ridiculous scenarios just to see how youd react/save them
(AND YOU BEING RIGHT, THO U NEVER KNEW FOR SURE LIKE)
You, after like a MONTH into every adventure: "… I know that mf is throwing himself into danger just to get me to save him, but I just can't prove it."
LMFAOO
ok so lets rate the worst to least offenders: LMAO
HARD TIE between Legend and … TIME. im being so deadass pls trust
these crazies be out here, even subconciously at times lol, wanting to be the damsel in distress for once (i mean its not like they dont have enough distress in their lives to count :'/🤷)
Legend moreso subconciously i would think, like not being as careful in a dungeon bc his first thought walking into a new chamber is "my guide is right there, he's watching my back, so i dont have to realllyyy check it all out, yup its fine, now where's the treasure??"
like he coulddddd do his usual routine (that you drilled into him after one too many times seeing initially try out dungeons and do a terrible job checking his surroundings) like the usual checking doorways for traps, keep shield and sword up, kick a rock into the first few feet of the room for traps, etc. But… ur right there…. and boom, he's on his ass and a giant swinging axe is coming right for him, and you've basically telelported with ur human legs running full sprint as they are to scoop him up, like an oddly shaped purse, to bolt across the room and bob and weave ur way around enemies/traps until yall are safe
(… he's glad the dungeon is dark bc then u cant see his red cheeks lol - legit that meme with Legend being: "…do i even weigh anything to you?" You: "No. It's like holding a couple of grapes." )
then there's… Time. Time is Conscious. Time is making the Choice to do this to you. Time is so aware he's giving u early gray hairs, this bitch. /affectionate
he's rlly out here like : ✨oh nooo my guide come savvve me, ur such a strong human helpppp ✨ (ik u will)✨
this little brat, it doesn't matter what age he is, this shameless mf is just sitting pretty in the middle of a boss battle room with flames everywhere like casually polishing his sword, badly stitching up a hole in his pant leg or smth, looking all pitiful, seeing u and smirking and looking around all "oh no! the boss is here! what ever will an unprepared hero like myself do?? Oh but my human companion, my guide is here! He is so reliable and kind and wonderful! My hero! A hero's hero!!" …
this bitch.
(a clothing repair btw that obv wont hold up, until later he weaponize incompetence tricks you (in a cute way) into actually repairing it, in a big ole blue eye looking up at you type way, even when he's older and his other eye is closed then he'll open it just for Extra-Kitten-Sitting-In-the-Rain-Effect, like literally sitting down all lip pushed out to pout, arms limply holding a needle all "confused" why his "earlier stitches" didnt work?? sad tall ass, completely armored up badass looking blonde elf man actually looking at you like: pls🥺ur an even better man than me, u can sew And stab, help poor little old me, pretty pls guide?? 🥺👉👈 pathetic.)
GUILTY AS SINN ^^^
coming in third is Wars, also just as guilty, but he's less likely to make it Big Self-sabotages like the previous two, he's guilty for the crime of frequent smaller self-sabotage plans lol
Like youre holding the map, telling him which way to go and even tho he's right beside you, you just told him to take the right path, the left path has brambles and dramatic fog and everything, and u still have to just, grab his scarf just in time to keep him from taking it 💀
aint no way theyre all accidents, its like 3-5 times a week whenever ur on his adventure with him
(he's got enough pride to not look like a complete fool in front of his soldiers, but not enough to not trip right in front of you and trick u into catching him like a swooning maiden. also yes, the knights know this. their Captain is the definition of strong, tall and capable to everyone, always the reliable one, an ideal leader, until you're within his line of sight, then he's getting all clumsy and shit, acting like he dont even know how to sharpen his own sword or "missed" a few buckles on his armor. Down Bad.)
Also looks all kicked puppy apologetic and like a little blonde himbo man abt it, then you go to fix his scarf that's wrapped all around his helmet on the back, and he just 🥰💕😍💘🧚♂️💑🌈
(his knights seeing this their Captains face do this in real time as they were all lined up for his speech before you walked by like: )
(…we know what you are. ashdkfsllLMAO save them fr)
(truly the Opposite of wingmen they can never get you to be aware enoughof it lol)
unsurprisingly, Sky is fourth as bad abt swooning into ur arms, but the worst part with him is that he so genuinely thought his plan to somewhat/completely self-sacrifice himself was a Good Idea. 💀
its the way things to throw himself off of are too easy access for him, like cliffsides, mounting his Loftwing, etc.
menace, ur constantly using ur buffed up only-human-in-hyrule abilities to hella jump to catch him or just divert whatever the threat was and do ur own non-Link-sacrifice plan instead
the first Link that you scold out of actual anxiety, bro set the precedent LMAO
ur out here like "No. they will Not be writing the legend of the Hero of the Sky ending it with 'and the hero sacrificed himself for the greater good', I will not allow u to be a bad influence on the others" lol u knew them being protagonists itd already be a problem, so ur not gonna let them encourage each other, even before u reach the LU part of the timeline lmao
bro does not have good risk assessment skills bc of Skyloft, i blame them
(u may or may not have let Ghirahim get enough time/words in to creep him out of some dumb ideas he was abt to to like throwing himself in head-first lol)
(you definitely caught him one time and heard a forlorn, wistful smitten sigh out of him, only to turn and Sky's just "AhHaHA thanks so much bRo! Yup, yeah, u can put me down now, yeP, super StrOng- ahem- thank yoU!!" )
Twilight and Wild tied also for 5th place of worst to endanger themselves when there are definitely Other Options
In different but similar ways, they just be passionate and feel like the thing needs to be done right then and there and wont take even a second to remember they have a grappling hook/glider they definitely can pull out of their magic storage very easily
it mostly amounts to you panic snatching Twi up like a kitten, him dangling in shock, and you immediately finding said useful items and putting it in his hands and then pushing him back into the run he originally broke out into
(omfg omfg but actually. so twi's not consciously trying to throw himself at stuff, like some of the others so far, but u bet ur ass he IS Conscious and Guilty of doing it on purpose as Wolfie. This also did result in you retaliating with: "Bad Dog!! Bad boy!!! >:( !!" frequently so he did reel it in some out of shame after joining the Chain bc they eventually all knew it was actually him lol )
the worst bc he'll Actually do puppy dog eyes, UNINTENTIALLY TOO, after sitting and being scolded by u and just bc he has to look up at u lolol
Wild is tied bc he also be throwing his body like a ragdoll at things like Twi, except he's actually the worst so far bc bro is Not sorry 💀
You: "You could've died!!"
Wild: " 🧍. It was all I could think of tho"
You: "WELL LET'S GET YOU IN THE HABIT OF THINKING OF THROWING SOMETHING ELSE FIRST AT THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF YOURSELF."
ur actually like this @ Wild the most:
bc he has all these gadgets/Sheikah Slate functions on hand in comparison to the others who admittedly have like most reliably bombs at their disposal at any given moment lol
bro has like, arguably THE most options at his disposal and he still chooses to throw himself like a dead fish in the middle of it
Wild will also like, overestimate how bad the conditions are sometimes, and with anyone else i think he'd be a little embarrassed/would rather let himself get swept downstream of the river he didn't realize was raging, rather than ask for their help, like dude wouldnt make a peep, King of the bit of silent chaos happening in the background as he tries to get himself out as quietly as possible lol
but with you, you're just like, cooking beside the river, Link says he's going for a swim upstream, and 5 min later u just see the bright blonde speck of his little head bobbing in the water passing by, looking at u like: 😐 my guide. 😐 help me. 😐🙋♂️🌊
the type to make a chaotic vehicle thing like ppl be making in Ttok, just so he can reach a boss or something, meanwhile u leap on it as it starts flying away instead of driving lolol - like this classic vine lmao
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ihgaopaSfb0
bro doesnt even have to make a self-sacrifice plan, u love him, but he just be doing dumb shit sometimes 😭🫶 lmao
(Wild is also the most okay after a rescue from you to just, stay being carried bridal style in ur arms for a bit, like straight chilling - he gets on his slate while you walk like modern day scrolling😭 LMFAO )
ok at 6 technically now, Frankly, Hyrule's here bc he's just a little worser than Four at self-sacrificing, bc he gets sad LOL
poor guy just gets tired, maybe feeling a little rough after hearing all those comments during his adventure from the ungrateful bastard villagers at times, not alll of them but enough, so he be slowing down or more willing to make like self-sacrifice plans to use himself as bait or smth
anytime he pulls a bait plan, just in time for the snatch, whether or not Hyrule actually plans to dive away or let them capture him, depends on the context, but either way at the climatic moment u just come charging like the absolute unit of a human linebacker u are to this world and grab Rulie like:
(or Poor Hyrule is tucked like a foot ball or smth under ur arm as u skedaddle away, and ur fast af too bc ur human and outpace any other monster/hylian lmao)
bro gave up on bait plans for the most part tho so at least SOMELINK learned their lesson early on in their adventure with you
(dont get me wrong, they're all good-hearted little hylian heroes so they all will still give you a heart attack to this day, but at least some of them are not as bad as they used to be? ..well, at least they only do it on purpose now to have you save them? ok maybe its not any better.)
and in last place, the winner is Four!!
oh Four, ur best boy, he's not throwing himself off nearly as many cliffs or dragons or whatever else as the others are <3
mostly bc u have this incredible tactic called ✨ getting Four to overthink his bad plans ✨
he has good ones!! to be fair to all the Links, they have good ideas! ones that actually, mostly, dont involve sacrificing themselves!! (and to clarify, its usually not like, death, i mean even just taking a hit or getting thrown back or something)
But they're still prone to it occasionally. or do it w/o thinking. so, yipee ig.
yeah u absolutely can get just Four by himself to begin to overthink his plan and basically either talk him out of it or he'll talk himself out of it lol
but its even better when its the Colors <3 (surprise, surprise, violets actually at the bottom of this list to be so real bc he actually listens to you and hasn't had a self-sacrifice moment longer than any other Link, definitely has the highest "300 days since last Self-Sacrifice incident")
u do convince Violet to gang up on the others to stop them at times, Blue probably only doubles down bc he wants to win the argument, even after youve convinced him not to go thru w/it 💀
ok radically changing over to when these hot messes of heroic protagonists get all slammed together to be in one big group
oh u bet its hell.
absolute chaos, for you that is.
but admittedly, u luckily managed to kinda finesse the situation often enough, like with the Colors, and divide and conquer them out of the dumb ideas lmao
just this back and forth like anon said of "no, im the Captain, ill go first into the dark ominous room!" "no, traveler, ur an amazing healer, I will!!" "what the hell, IM the most experienced with dungeons, quit it, let me through!"
You, meanwhile as none of them end up going in first, letting ur much more robust human self slip by: 😈 "ive done it, ive hacked the system."
but the worst is whenever the 1st time, and only one so far, where several of them began to plan something absolutely reckless, involving Mulitple Links by now, and None of them saw the issue with it-
what with supplies being low at the time and overall energy of the group due to previous battles to track the shadow this deep into monster territory,
and instead of saying, 'hey lets wait a day' or 'lets just scout it out for now' or anything else other than planning the groups to break up in to just barge right into the next dungeon-
u hit ur breaking point, youd already worked so hard to train these heroic fools individually, and now theyre rebelling, theyre unionizing. LMAO
theyre all just yapping away at the plans, half of the blonde heads here bent over a map while the rest chimed in tiredly from where they sat around that group, clearly all too absorbed to realize everyones their own energy levels or health-
and u just, jaw clenching from the annoyance of them all doubling down, unable to get a word in edgewise, even as their respected guide,
make a tightly balled fist and aim it for the much bigger boulder next to the smaller one youve sat down on
CRACK!-CRASH!-BOOOMM!
the ear-splitting noise of the boulder getting smited by your much smaller human fist, which is only covered in gray dust and no bruises or cuts whatsoever, the very definition of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object
immediately all voices are cut off, several of the hylian men pulling their swords or knives or even their wooden forks from a quick more like bare bones, u irrritably think dinner, startled by the sudden basically explosion of rock
the previously determined and adrenaline battle ready faces give way to many wide blue eyes, and dropped jaws as all of your heroes finally take you in next to it, a human man completely unmoved by his own violent lash out, your body barely budged from the seat youd taken on the rock next to the, now shattered, boulder.
only your arm swung out to the side in the finish of a punch, covered in thick dust and pebbles. You sighed heavily, your other hand braced on the rock you sat on, glaring at the group and slowly panning it around to look them all in the shocked eyes
not a word has been said yet, as teh weapons are lowered or put down, and you cut in before any of them can act
"Bad plan. Take a look at yourselves! You're tired! And y'know what, just for that martyr nonsense, When I die, I want every Link here to lower me into my grave so you can let me down one last time." LMFAO
This actually snaps most of them out of it, an eruption of protests comning from the rowdier links, as it gives them all a break to stop staring at you like you're a god descended that just proved he really was a god to a group of ignorant mortals
(the quieter ones after that, Time, Wars, Sky, Hyrule, coughing and turning pinkened cheeks away to start packing up more to go find camp for the night, they dont even need to be told thats what you want to do, bc its the better idea anyway right now, after seeing the state of each other and their own selves after u drew attention to it)
But the others, Twi, Wild, Legend, Four + Wind, are all hovering closer to you now, wide fascinated (wind), adoring (twi, wild, legend, four) eyes on you as they all talk at once, some excited and asking how u did that, some defending themselves lol, etc.
ur pleasantly surprised to find that the evening is more quiet and restful than it has been all week, the guys finally winding down after hiking and traveling quickly all week, even urging you to go at your brisk walk speed for a human, which ends up nearly leaving all of them behind, as they attempted to keep up at one point
you dont even have to nag them into not taking shifts and letting you keep watch tonight, as the days in hyrule are shorter than earths, and ur on a completely diff sleep schedule than them,
and if u smile all happily go abt ur business the next few days with particularly obedient heroes, and maybe a few gazes at your back at all times,
hey maybe you should break more stuff to stop them from getting those stupid protagonist cliche ideas in their heads!!
(u dont hear the whispers in the evening at the end of the day after they've talked abt everything else, Winds knocked out somewhere, finally voicing the unacknowledged amongst themselves now, "…we all saw that right? he actually…? and it was…?" "Yeah." x8 in unison)
☆
ALSO, here's the other ask this is connected to bc i kinda combined it
also, also, i got carried away and i didnt spellcheck a thing after writing it, flowstate at its most ideal, the lion does not concern himself with grammar or spelling mistakes, he simply writes ✨
I live!! and Happy new Year guys!!! wtf!!! :D
ill be 25 on Jan 20th!! what the shit!!!!
how old is this blog now!!!!! scared
hope yall are having a good new year and its treating you well, and god speed to all my fellow Americans out there, we could use a better year my countrymen 🙏
thx if u read this garbage fire, i almost went even more romantic swooning but i feel like i need to reread the entire LU comic and actually make time to start playing the source materials as much as i can (or at least watch all the cutscenes on yt) bc i got real anxious everyone was as out of character as that play from ATLA 💔
out here just making the written version of Toph being depicted as a grown man and screaming at the enviornment to "sense" it, feels like
anyway, apologies, and gratitude for you reading it if u did
i saw the weaknesses post you made and the part about us humans needing more attention than hylians made me giggle, because omfg imagine how ANNOYED theyd be at us 😭😭 how do you think theyd react???? l
AFFECTIONATE ANNOYANCE READER POST COMIN RIGHTTT UP
*obv very sorry you've been collecting dust in here, ty for the ask 🥹🫶
And abt another one too?? Tysm 😭
< Link 🧝♂️ to post anon is talking about, click me! >

Lowkey very blushy lol
I think it's very obvious who's blushing more and who's blushing less, so more importantly...
Who's getting used to it quickest?
CACKLING
They go thru town and Four's poking at a weapons display and asking questions to the local blacksmith and you just stroll up behind him and flop across his shoulders mid-question lol
Four, just letting out a "oof" but otherwise unaffected and continuing his question abt this new metal
Blacksmith: ... Congratulations, when's the wedding?
The sputtering legit happens to every Link no matter what when they get around civilization and realize what it looks like to their fellow hylians out of context
Lol especially if ur ears are covered or it's not immediately obvious ur human
You just walk in behind Hyrule while he's talking to the waitress about needing a big table for the whole party and just start like picking and finger combing branches and leaves out of his floof of hair
The waitress: "omg,, is he gonna propose?! He's fixing your hair!! In public!! :D (like literal fangirling from the staff)"
Hyrule, who barely felt u behind him, and just wants a table:
"What-? Oh Hylia- no- I- you are my favorite human ever but please stop- I lied, a table is NOT Fine we need a closed booth in the corner, wherever we're the most out of sight-!!"
Hyrule's face going thru the stages of grief like lmao 😭🫠😳🫣😶🌫️
It's the giving into ur instincts for me lol
The way he nor any of the others ever consider actually being able to stop you is the funniest part of this adjusting to human casual touch/affections
Like: Yes we need to hide deeper into the woods to make camp, No we cant camp at the Stable where other hylians are- Okay, Captain- why don't YOU figure out what to say to the other hylians when He (you) inevitably drags all our sleeping bags closer for a "puppy hylian pile" and then snuggles up next to one of us? And then in the morning he's literally cuddling at least 2 Links??
...yeah thats what I thought. Lets find a clearing.
LMAO like they just give in so immediately, ngl half that reason is bc the first, maybe, week or two of you naturally clapping shoulders, huddling when its windy, hugging when your happy with one of them- !!
And they try to each in their own way brush off the casual over affection that they perceive only to see your face-
Not a single Link has ever seen a grown man's face crumple into such deep despair so quickly,
They legit see the expression of a kicked puppy in your eyes, you dont even pressure them just a small sad "oh- yeah, hylians are different, sorry!..."
Like yes, obviously you will listen to boundaries w/o manipulating or guilt tripping them, but most of them like your affection being so consistent and obvious (to them)
And it really is small time stuff (to you)
And you look so much brighter, so kuch healthier and so much happier when Sky leans into your arm around his shoulders, or Twilight let you comb his hair out, or Legend lets you adjust a loose tie or buckle on his tunic or back,
It only took a quick glance around the campfire one night to silently agree to let your human instincts do what they will for your health and happiness (and totally not for the big huge crush they have on-)
After seeing Wild recreate your favorite dessert that night, one from Earth, and you just pounced on him with a hug and spun him around lol
For reference,
Wind*, Sky, Four, Time, Wild, Twilight, Wars, Hyrule, Legend
Who gets the most used to your human culture affections the quickest and who still jumps when you hold his hand to guide him thru a crowd lol
And i dont think any of them would be super Annoyed per se, I think there would be misunderstandings at first, and maybe certain Links or collectively you have times where you know not to touch them bc once again, what u see as normal or friendly is A Lot for them,
Like in cooking situations, or mid-battle, or even when some are eating, mostly things that kinda make sense
(Legend claims its annoying but gets pouty when you avoid touching him after he says this, and then leans into whatever form or way ur touching him anyways, so...)

* = clearly i meant platonic. But its the internet so im preemptively assuming what I know to be true, ppl dont give you the benefit of the doubt, so here's me clarifying,
Wind was not included in the romantic implications overall/crush bit. Im sure u can make it still make sense in his context.

Goodnight!
Or good morning, wherever and whenever you are
Hope this wasnt so late yall thought i dropped off again 😬
Not sure if anyone has asked this before I think it’d be funny for the Links to get flustered if reader asked them to touch their ears (out of curiosity) (I’m totally not curious myself)
Like are they sensitive? Just some thoughts to ponder...
Again, just going thru old asks, so if i don't apologize in the ask, I promise its a given 😭
Moon: presumed male reader, but no he/him, only "you" used, so gender neutral really ig ("you")
Orbit: SFW, Headcanons-ish, SHORT
Stars: vaguely the classic chain of links
Comets & Meteors: CWs: mildly suggestive, mild discussion about ear piercings/cartilage mention, & TWs: ear piercing disussion (vague, no talk of needles).
Please comment if I missed any. /gen

I actually sorta touched on this in an old ask, I’ll leave the link here in case u wanna see it, (when i find it…)
so ig I’ll expand on some short headcanons here!
so i mentioned last time i talked abt this being like a cultural hylian thing to only touch the ears of someone you love dearly, so like obviously parent/child, maybe older/younger siblings, etc. but i like to think generally,
esp as hylians grow up and become adults, their ears are like a thing only lovers/spouses touch/take care of
including piercings a lot of the time, so like a parent or sibling or lover will learn to properly pierce ears (tho i imagine they only really pierce non-cartilage piercings commonly)
so on the subject of piercings, i definitely think they see any multiple piercings/cartilage piercings on your ears as badass/def a show of good pain tolerance regardless of what you acc can withstand lol
(bro and if you have non-ear piercings?? Wind/Wild is Fascinated, and Leg/Hyrule/Sky/Wars jaws def dropped, even Time’s eye widened)
ok switching lanes back to the intimacy aspect
ok so we’re continuing off that situation in teh last post where you touch Four’s ears and are told what that means, and then half jokingly respond that they are very dear to your heart
(but obv if they’re uncomfortable you’ll def not do it)
bro the effect this has on them is actually irreversible lol
Wind was def the first to outright ask you to like check his ears after swimming or if they get nicked or even to ask you to pierce them once!
(if ur squeamish u said “no Wind, ask ur grandma” lol - but if ur not, like me when i was drunk once, u go for it after making super sure they’re symmetrical and sterile and whatnot, theyre just his firsts, as in the earlobe basic, and lend him a pair of your own earrings to keep in the meantime until healed, which is faster than humans. he is so happy he looks more like a pirate lol)
and the others def followed suit after Wind gave them the courage ironically (both being the youngest and also they literally all fought evil lol)
Wild politely asked if you could make him/help make him some earmuffs, Hyrule shyly asked if you would change his earrings, Four nearly went as red a tomato giving you a pair of earrings before suddenly but slowly all of them (except Wind?) gave you earrings some way or another (made or bought)
When one of the waitresses at an inn you guys stayed at giggled at seeing Sky give you a pair of carved pretty wooden feather earrings, before quickly running off, then congratulated you,
u asked what for, only to have her giddly explain it was a courting gift of course!!
…
nahhhh, all the Links gave you a pair of earrings, they were just being sweet and welcoming you into their culture probably!
or showing that you were dear to them to, since it was an “ear culture” thing!!
…you see the waitress sigh pitifully at the blonde men at your table later that night.
Links: using a variety of weapons and items to defeat their enemies
Meanwhile, The Human:
(And yes, it is Jesus beating up some guy. Idk why this exists, but hey, it exists.)
This is peak, god im so glad theres like 1 other person out there that thinks abt hanh au lmao
Bro the power would go to my head So Fast once i realized i didnt even need weapons to punch and actually deal dmg to monsters in hyrules 😩
OHMYGOD DO U THINK IF LIKE LIKE!! Do u think this would happen to the Links: the trope of Character A being all logical and like planning and "no lets talk to them" is finally like "ok well i tried everything, B go off"
And Character B/Your ass just comes in Swingin 😭
Like "well nothing worked so throwing hands it is" AHHDJLLJFCCC
Absolutely hilarious, Warriors/Sky/kinda Time being all proper and knightly and and shield up and Academy taught proper fighting tm against a big boss monster and it just isnt working and just sighing and giving up, like deadass going to the bench/sidelines on the game and ur over here like "PUT ME IN COACHHH" LMFAOOO
They learn shit like that from you, and now when its reached last resort its up to like, anyones bombs and ur human Slapboxing and acting out WWE moves, and they literally TAP YOU INNN IM FUCKING ROLLING
Yall i recently watched Zenshu, and,, i lowkey think the ML is inspired by Link, I think you should def check it out bc theres a scene kinda similar where the MC whos from modern Japan animates to life a Luchador (i think its called/spelled?) wrestler while theyre in a fantasy medieval esque world 😭😭
