For Legend, time slowed.
Thinking felt like wading through a swamp. His magic-depleted body left no resources for his mind to process what he was seeing.
One moment, Hyrule seemed fine—scuffed up and tired, as were they all. And the next….
Black sludge hissed on the ground next to Hyrule’s mouth, inches from Legend’s fingertips. The sharp, acrid stink of miasma burned Legend’s throat with every breath. If he had any magic left, he imagined the miasma would steal it away—or convert it, apparently. Now that he knew what he was looking for, he could feel the dark magic within himself like spiderwebs laced through his veins.
And Hyrule had drained an entire black-blooded wizzrobe of its magic.
Thank you everyone for reading and I hope you've enjoyed this ride! <3
The July LU 24-Hour Write-A-Thon is over! This was my first-ever write-a-thon, and I’m really happy to have participated. I met lots of cool people, had tons of fun, and of course I wrote a whole bunch! (Naturally, I didn’t get as much done as I had hoped, but c’est la vie! When does art ever go exactly the way we plan?)
Thank you so much to the event organizers (@not-freyja and @hotcheetohatredwastaken , you're both amazing!), to the mods, and to everyone who participated for making this a great event! I’m sure the next one will be even better, and I will definitely be participating.
For this event, I decided to work on a one-shot idea that’s been kicking around in my head. It’s not done, by any means — I think I got about halfway through during the allotted time? So you’ll have to just wait a little longer to see the full thing. In the meantime, here’s a teaser under the cut ~
Link trudged up the slope behind Woodland Stable, their eyes fixed on the hillside rising out of the trees all around them. Behind them, the soft rattle and clank of Beedle’s traveling kit provided a rhythmic counterpoint to the melodic whinnies of horses and the musical voices of the hylian stable-folk. As Link made their way along the beaten-down dirt path, the sounds of civilization gave way to the lively hush of the forest — restless crickets, tittering birdsong, the soft cry of a fox in the distance.
At the top of the hill, barely visible above the trees, was another one of the Sheikah Towers. It stabbed the clouds above like a fiery blade, burning orange and gold at its core, a candle glowing in the wan late-afternoon light.
And between Link and the Tower, hidden from sight now but known by report and by the subtle scent of woodsmoke on the breeze — the old military training camp, according to the stable-folk, long abandoned by hylians and their allies, now inhabited only by bokoblins and their ilk.
My art contribution to the @lu-community-write-a-thon spreadsheet! The theme was Twilight Princess and I drew Sky's dark world form, which I headcanon to be a cat (soft and fluffy but also full of terrible mischief and destruction).
Today’s challenges: cat

NB: Please reblog from and comment on the root post, since with the new Tumblr system I won't see it otherwise!
The first of my art contributions to the @lu-community-write-a-thon spreadsheet for August. The theme was @sapphicseasapphire's Chain as Cryptids AU, and I drew Might.
Some of my art contributions to the @lu-community-write-a-thon spreadsheet for June. The theme was villains, with a corporate office flair, and I drew some random office things: a bowl of bananas and a coffee machine. As you can see, nobody has put on a fresh pot of coffee because they're villains.
