I've seen a lot of fun dark world forms proposed for the Linked Universe boys, but Four is almost always a mouse or some other tiny rodent. I understand the impulse, but now I'm here to say: y'all are ignoring the comedic and dramatic potential of Four's dark world form being something just fuck off huge
A common misconception I see in Linked Universe fanon is that Demise cursed the Hero's Spirit to reincarnate in an endless cycle. THIS IS INCORRECT!
Demise actually curses "the spirit of the hero" and "the blood of the goddess" that whenever they appear, an incarnation of his hatred will also appear to oppose them. This means that the reincarnation of the hero's spirit is just a thing that happens! The actual curse is that whenever the hero's spirit reincarnates, something evil will appear to threaten Hyrule.
This is especially clear in the original Japanese, where a cycle is never mentioned at all. It says that whenever anyone blessed by the goddesses appears, so too will an evil to fight them. That's it. That's the curse.
(Actual quotes under the cut!)
English Version:
"Extraordinary. You stand as a paragon of your kind, human. You fight like no man or demon I have ever known. Though this is not the end. My hate...never perishes. It is born anew in a cycle with no end! I will rise again! Those like you... Those who share the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero... They are eternally bound to this curse: An incarnation of my hatred shall ever follow your kind, dooming them to wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness for all time!"
Japanese Version (literal translation, link below):
"When one who holds the chosen power appears, necessarily, one to accomplish the antithesis of that will be born. That is the fate of those who bear the crests that were awarded by the gods you believe in. Whenever those bearing the crests appear in this world, an age of bloodshed will come, as often as need be. Do not think everything ends with this... Think of this as the beginning of a blood-smeared history of light and darkness!"
@snazzycrow and I did a @craftexchange and both items are officially at their new homes! I received this AMAZING calligraphy print from Crow of a quote I like (the pictures don’t quite do it justice; the ink shimmers and changes color in the light!!), and he received this pink amigurumi jellyfish!

My mom just sent me “look look look!” and a link to the live action HTTYD teaser and
I don’t know how to tell her “You are a great mom who did a great job remembering how much I love the original and I wish I could reward your great mothering with reciprocal excitement but I could not be less excited about that movie”

Finding Luke by lebellule (me!)
Summary:
“And that’s the first thing I can remember. Nothing before that.”
“Nothing before two years ago?”
“Nothing at all. And I asked around, but no one knows where I came from or how I got in the lake to start with.”
“That is...quite the mystery.”
“Is it...‘Layton-esque’ enough for you?”
Or, five times someone found Luke, and one time they almost lost him.
