Late to the Warrior Whump party but here are my contributions.

Clockwise from the top left:

1. Scene from Hyrule Warriors. In the game you play Ganondorf for certain chapters and defeat Zelda and Link. This is post Link’s defeat.

2. Based on a scene from Whumptober Day Fourteen: Hunting Gear by @jinxedruby It’s a lovely fic and a great chapter!

3. Scene from the 1st chapter of a fic titled Hunting Foxes by @elle-rosewater . The is currently private but Elle is a fantastic writer so go support their work!

4. Both a—long overdue—ask response for @arecaceae175 of Warriors crying and being comforted by Mask AND loosely inspired by the fic Shades of Blue by @queenofmoons67 . I emphasize loosely as this scene DOES NOT happen in the fic but I was reading Shades of Blue while drawing this so I had to give it a shout at as an awesome fic.

That's right, my mind now thinks on the Eras Trio jkasjkaskj And before I go back to do even more homework (almost there, just a week more and I'm free), I want to post these little doodles I made jsjs

Inspired by this heartbreaking art by ghosthoard!!!

When I started to like the idea of Wind being on HW post-LU I liked to imagine him being the same age as Wars but being a more experienced hero. He went from the youngest brother to the oldest and of course, that's something he takes advantage of xD

Wind being the tallest of all of the heroes when he grows up my beloved.

On HW he wears his green tunic so I gave him a sailor shirt and a green vest. He repurposed the green hat but also his blue tunic so now he makes reference to his green tunic and keeps wearing his blue one. Also his hair is inspired on his hair on WW, have you seen how long his hair is without the hat???

Wind teased Mask so much and I know he's the one he teased the most xD Mask almost never annoyed Tune. Tune always knew how to deal with Mask and that made him mad, besides, the captain made more reactions xD

I need more LU fics where Time somehow reverts back to Mask. Wars and Wind are just like ??? Because one moment their strong and stoic leader is in front of them and the next there's THE annoying 10-12 yr old child who looks just about as angry as a wet street kitty.

Optional bits for bonus points;

Time still acts like he normally does he's just now a child and everybody has problems trying to listen to him and starts babying him like they do to Wind sometimes

(Alternatively) Time takes advantage of the change to just be a little shit and acts like the reversion also sent his mind back when he actually just needs a break

Twilight attempts to snuggle Lil Time to death

Time kinda doesn't want to go back to being a responsible adult at the end because he missed being a little gremlin child

Lil man offers to take night watch and everyone refuses to let him do it

Wild & Time causing chaos.

I've never really messed with Time and Mask nor looked into the lore but I think the War of Eras trio is so funny- the one fic like this that I read got me hooked

[liamket]

ayo why are these kids at the war field and why do they look kinda menacing

[yours-regretfully]

"It's okay, don't cry. I know you'll see me again someday."

-Warriors, to Wind, at the end of the time travel shenanigans

-Tune, to Captain Link, at the end of the war

ummmm some headcanons about when the war trio first met again?

Sure!

Time/Mask was first. Warriors was still new to his position when he met the kid and he actually went through the first half of the war with just Mask (because in game, you can't actually play any levels with Wind until you've unlocked an item from fighting Ganon, which isn't possible, in world, until after Cia is down)

Mask is only unlocked after a level where you have to fight him as the end boss, so I HC that Wars met him on the battlefield. Mask got dropped into a strange world and the soldiers all assumed he was some sort of a demon who was disguised as a child because he was seen using his various masks, and so they attacked, thinking he was from the enemy side. Naturally, Mask fought back, and it took Warriors showing up and putting 2 + 2 together (after defeating him) for Mask to be considered an ally rather than a foe.

Being treated as an enemy for a sort while did prompt Mask to hold a grudge against War' soldiers for a very considerable amount of time and he still has some residual beef with them even now, although it's channeled more into pranks and scaring the wits out of them than any actual harm anymore

As I mentioned in one of my other HC posts, Warriors is, essentially, a foster Great Fairy, by total accident, and the residual magic from the fairy corps is one of the reasons Mask eventually came to trust him. The second Mask saw that the guy had a fairy, he started rethinking whether he was a friend or foe, and then when he found out there was a whole fountain of them (a gathering for fairies is called a fountain) he just up and decided Wars was a good person because when are fairies ever wrong? If they like him, he's gotta be a good person (also, it makes him think of the Deku Tree)

Half the army are convinced that Mask is some sort of changling, and he leaned into that HEAVILY. Wars didn't care as long as he behaved himself for the most part (he's not entirely unconvinced that it's not true himself; the man's a Celt and thus, while not neccessarily superstitious, he's also not stupid; he believes those things are real and to be respected)

Warriors took legal custody for Mask after the battle with Cia. prior to that, there was too much happening at once for anyone to care too much about the politics of it. Impa gave up trying to tell Mask to stay at camp and basically just told Wars the kid was his problem and to keep an eye on him, and that was that. they're not family by choice so much as Mask was assigned Warriors' Charge at arrival

Mask was very much not present when the trio (Warriors, Artemis and Lana) all met Cia for the first time and split off into different eras to track her down. He was thus left out of the time travel part of the journey and spent the whole while just having a freaking panic attack until they got back

Warriors returning with the Master Sword in hand was very jarring for Mask, but he was also just so relieved to have Wars back that he sort of forgot about it. Prior to this, he was trying to maintain the tough guy act, but he actually opened up a lot and got downright clingy once War got back from Skyloft (he realized that he could lose Wars and that even the idea of that was heartbreaking, so he decided to give into his feelings already and embrace their dynamic)

Wars and Mask bonded a lot over the fairies and Epona.

Mask avoided talking about the Master Sword with Wars, but when he saw Wars starting to get cocky, their relationship started getting rocky and they had many fights about it

Mask blames the sword for Warriors nearly dying, and getting captured by Cia, a rescue he was not allowed to be part of, much to his fury

BECAUSE Mask and Wars had the first half of the adventure to themselves, they already had a pre-existant dynamic by the time Tune rocked up, which meant it had to shift and change to accommodate him, something Wind was very aware of

Warriors was fresh out of training and with no experience parenting a twelve year old when he met Mask, so he ended up taking on a more brotherly role initially, handling mask like he would his sisters. By the time Tune showed up though, it was becoming more of a paternal position because he'd taken custody and was coming into himself as a leader and somebody to be looked to, not just relied on.

As I've mentioned in fics, Mask was very jealous about having to share Warriors with Tune, and made many attempts to make it clear just how unwelcome the sailor was. None of them really worked, but it just made him even more angry when Tune didn't even get upset by it

Tune actually though Mask was just a bratty little imp for the first bit, and as a big brother, he is very used to childish chaos, and sort of took a lot of it in stride

the boys ended up coming to a tentative truce, not because they grew fond of each other, but because Warriors was under so much stress all the time and they both wanted to help him

Tune is the cook of the trio, Warriors is the medic, and Mask had the scary dog privileges. Maybe not a traditional family, but they made it work

Being as he's very possessive, where Mask was previously just a bit clingy with Wars, the second Tune showed up he was basically glued to the man's side. Refuses to sleep in his own bedroll and always had to be walking closest, so on and so forth. Typical jealous child stuff, just turned up a bit because this one was raised by the fae

Wind has several scars that are just from Time having bitten him as a child.

Warriors came to see Mask as a kid who needed his help, guidance, and love, but Tune more as someone he could rely on, trust, and discuss things with. This sparked a lot of jealousy from Mask, but also set a standard in Wind's mind of how older heroes SHOULD be treating him

I have only played to the battle against Cia, and thus though the first half of the game, so I can't say too much more ATM, but I hope this will do!

Thanks for the ask! I didn't realize I had so many ideas after my playthrough!
