I’m Gonna Piss

Hi, I am here in your humble ask box to yap about your 2 adventures AU :)

Well, more like ask questions, but not important.

First, I'm currently writing a fic based on it (not finished, but ~3.7k words rn and not much left), starting with the 2nd adventure because it's fun and I wasn't in the mood to write Warriors suffering THAT much (he still is tho, but less, kinda)

Second, as I'm directly writing in your AU—and not just inspired or based on—I like to keep things as close to what you've said as possible, at least in the beggining.

...So, questions! No need to answer if you don't want to, or even just do a few of them, I was just wondering. I'll still be releasing the fic and @ you anyways, I just like to hear your opinion.

1. I made Four (called Minish early on in the fic) have changing eye color based on his mood, but the colors (characters) aren't present when merged. What do you think of them appearing? Are they all in Four's head? Take turns? Do they only exist when split? Are they sometimes there and sometimes not? Something else?

2. Four and Shadow relationship. Has Shadow existed? Is he dead? Alive? They dating/engaged/married/exes? If <-, is it only Vidow or Fourdow? Is he their housecat?

3. Any change of appearances outside of obvious height? I imagine then to look pretty close/the same to their original, especially those who's ages are close to or are often headcanoned to be close to their age in the comics.

Also if there's something special you want to mention for their 1 adv./2 adv. Say it under this question?

Also if Shadow how do you imagine he looks like?

4. Thoughts on Warriors ship? I usually don't really ship him with anyone, I sometimes put him with Artemis but mostly just so he's taken...Or go all out with Warrahim, but that needs more explaining than I usually bother with. Honestly, him dating a (male) OC had gone to mind a bit whilst writing, but I think I'm making it into another seperate fic than this one.

Either way, I was wondering if you had any ships of him in mind? Ofc it wouldn't be there immideatly, but something that could be built up when/if I—or others—decide to write in this AU.

Totally not because I was planning on writing Artemis x Impa in this AU. Nope. Not at all.

I probably have more questions that I've forgotten about, but I can leave that to another day.

There was a lot of ramblings about Four, but I love him so that isn't suprising. Even if you ignore this, I hope you have a great day/evening/night, and that you drink a lot of water and get your favorite snacks <3

Hello 💕

First of all this is so EXCITING!!! I feel so honored to have inspired you!! Omg I genuinely have chills 

And I’d like you to know that I am perfectly okay with you adapting my AU in any way you wish. I appreciate you giving me credit but I’d never post something without fully intending on sharing it! So please do whatever you wish! Don’t let me hold you back!

That being said though, I’m also really really excited to talk more about this AU! 

In the second half of the journey I think the colors appearing are fair game! I personally think that when they’re merged as Four they’re generally one person again. Like, they’re Four now. I kind of follow Steven Universe rules when it comes to Four for myself if you’ve ever watched the show 😭 but basically, when the colors merge as Four, they are a separate person while being a combination of theirselves if that makes sense? I think they still kind of have some kind of autonomy, like if Four were to pass a bookstore he might get a very sharp urge to go there that he might not normally have. In stressful situations I think his thoughts would fragment more. I like all different writings of Four though! Honestly, him going down more of the taking turns path might be more interesting in this story but I’d have to play with different ideas. 

As for Shadow… I forgot to think about him 😭 I think it depends on your opinion if he’s dead or alive… for a timeline, my headcanons teehee, Four went through his Four Sword Quest when he was somewhere between 14-16? I’m not entirely sure which age but teenager. Four reunites with the chain when he’s like… we can say 28? I believe Four would appreciate Shadow enough to want to bring him back or resurrect him. To save him from that fate. Whether or not 10 years is enough time for Four to save him is your judgement 👀. I think Vidow is real 😭 like it doesn’t even matter whether I ship it or not. I read the manga and those boys had something going on. I think when Four remerges the rest of the colors, and Four himself might love Shadow or at least really understand why Shadow does. Maybe it’s more complicated than just a matter of romantic love, duty, or respect. Maybe Shadow and Four has something weird… (but yea, I ship it. I’ll ship anything with a good enough plot)

Honestly for change in appearance, I don’t think much would change. Least of all for Twilight and Sky who don’t have any more quests. Hyrule might be a bit surprising, during his second quest he learns magic so maybe that does something to him. He also might be better fed by now, better at coping with the cult. Wild would be pretty drastic actually, he has scars now and a wild look to him. If you think he’s gone through totk maybe he’s missing an arm? As for Shadow, I think it’s funny when people keep his manga emo boy look, but that’s just me 🙂‍↕️

For Wars, I didn’t have a ship for him in mind, I honestly think he’d be a bit busy for anything like that, but at the same time if it works for him it works! I personally headcanon him as gay, I have nothing to base this off of. I think it’s the scarf. It whispers to me… but that being said, I’d never slander anybody’s ship or opinion. But also CRAAZZZY that you mention Impa x Artemis bc I love that ship. I think Artemis is also gay. WLW and MLM solidarity.

Please feel free to ask me anything you’d like!!! I love these types of talks more than anything. They really make my day! Please don’t be shy!

I genuinely don’t know how I am not seeing more of this woman on my feed

never have I wanted somebody more carnally

like I am howling at the moon, clawing at my walls, biting at my chains

the things I would do to be one of this woman’s wives

I didn’t understand x reader fics until she graced the screen

My blood feels hot that I want her so bad

Gloom and Mind Controlling Technology:

I mentioned that HYLIA is trying to fight off and end the growing control of another group called the Cult of Demise. The cult has weaponized a virus that evolves too quickly to make a vaccine. The cult also uses mind controlling technology that requires very expensive technology to combat. These roadblocks are why HYLIA is so interested in less than 1% of the new generation of children and young adults who have significant resistance, and in some cases full immunity, to either the gloom, mind controlling technology, or even both. 

So

Here’s quick explanation about how the gloom and mind controlling technology works: 

The gloom is a highly infective virus that wears down the body typically over the course of 2 months. The gloom is highly infectious and has begun to spread into flora and fauna in some regions (this is speculated to be genetic engineering done by Demise). It tends to advance in 3 stages. The first one lasts the longest, about a month. During this time the person afflicted will find themself weakening at a rapid pace, being prone to cold like symptoms, severe migraines, and nose bleeds. The second stage lasts 2-3 weeks on average, the person will rapidly deteriorate and experience changes in personality such as aggression, severe depression that is rapidly onset, and dread. The last and final stage is short, a week at the longest. The person enters a zombie-like frenzy, often being physically aggressive whilst showing signs of memory loss. Then they die. The first stage is curable, with a 70% success rate greatly depending on age and health. The second stage is also treatable, but with much worse odds with only 30% dying. The final stage is untreatable. Keep in mind a good portion of the citizens of Hyrule cannot afford or don’t have access to treatment. 

Shadow was taken in by HYLIA not because he’s resistant to the gloom, but because he had it to the point where he entered the third stage. Instead of dying, he miraculously recovered. 

The mind controlling technology are usually large boxes that the cult tries to drop into convenient locations, such as small towns, Hyrule army camps, and so on. They emit electromagnetic waves that work at a frequency that disrupts the neurological functioning of Hylians. Depending on the frequency, strength, and proximity to the mind controllers (I should probably think of a cooler name for these) people experience migraines, seizures, and not too uncommonly death. The other major influence of the mind controllers is that people most often slip into a very dissociative state where they become very agreeable and unable to fight back. The cult typically uses these people as serfs. People who are rescued from these states often suffer from brain injury, the death of glial cells, memory loss, and they often demonstrate signs of early onset dementia or altheimers. We’ll see more of this with Wild

here’s a little scale I made for the chain showing how resistant they are to gloom and/or mind controlling tech (I hope it makes sense)

Gloom to Mind Control Resistance Scale

The first number is gloom. The second is mind control. Scale goes from 0 (none) to 5 (total).

Hyrule:    G(0) - MC(5)

Legend:   G(4) - MC(2)

Time:       G(3) - MC(3)

Wind:       G(4) - MC(1)

Four*:      G(1) - MC(4)

Twilight:   G(2) - MC(3)

Sky:         G(5) - MC(2)

Warriors:  G(4) - MC(3)

Wild:        G(5) - MC(0)

Anywho! Please lmk any thoughts, suggestions, questions, or just if you enjoyed! <3 I really love talking

Maze AU: Beginning

I’m not sure how to communicate the next parts very well bc as of up to this point a lot of this AU was more concept and less story but it’s kind of been evolving into a story. I don’t think I have enough plot, or energy, to write an actual fic so I hope this will suffice. I’m gonna try and do this thru bullet points. 

I also wanna say that I’m super open to suggestions. If there’s ever stuff you’d rather hear about lmk. I’m always SUPER happy to talk

So here we go:

The beginning:

The maze is announced and almost everybody protests it. Very simply, this is inhumane. Like obviously so. People who aren’t immediately against it are relieved. They’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop for years.

Warriors is probably the only person who isn’t against it from the get go. He’s one of the only people, Artemis being the only other, that’s been raised in HYLIA since birth. He thinks that he understands what they do, that the maze is for the greater good of humanity. He agrees that there is no better way to study their bodies and brain waves than in a raw experiment that strips everything from its participants. That isn’t to say that he isn’t empathetic to his fellow participants (probably not a great term to call them). He understands the fear they must be feeling, but he knows that they’ll forget everything. The maze will soon be all they know. Maybe… it can actually become home.

Little Warriors characterization: He doesn’t know it here but he’s starting to resent being used as the golden boy, being pushed into a “captain” role, by HYLIA. He sees the easy friendship the others have with each other that he will never have due to the role HYLIA has put him in. They’ll never feel safe around Wars. He pines for a home that he’s never known.

Some of them also believe HYLIA when they’re told this is for the best of society. That being said, just because they believe that the ends will justify the means BUT they question why they don’t have a choice in this. 

Legend is the first, and loudest, to object to this project completely. He questions how watching a bunch of amnesiacs will create vaccinations against the gloom and genetic resistance to mind controlling frequencies. No matter how much they explain he gets louder and angrier. It doesn’t help that his sister, Fable, is also protesting albeit a lot more clinically, picking it apart with her questions. This creates quite the stir in the group. 

Things get worse when HYLIA explains that there’s not just 1 maze, but 2 and that they’ll be separated by sex. Girls on one side, boys on the other. This feels like a way to divide and conquer.

HYLIA lets the groups sit on this for a little under a week before they announce who’s going in the maze first. On the girls side Artemis will be going first.

Artemis was not originally selected to go first. She managed to figure out that HYLIA initially selected Fable to go first. Artemis is like Warriors in the sense that HYLIA used her as the golden child but for the girls wing. Unlike Warriors, Artemis is really good at being a bit manipulative back at HYLIA without repercussions. She manages to convince them to let her go first. This seems to everyone like her taking charge, being a good leader, etc. She’s the only one who knows that she’s doing this because she’s terrified. She doesn’t want to lay in wait, watching as her friends lose their memories, get hurt, possibly die. 

As for the boys… it’s announced that Hyrule will be going first (in less than 24 hours mind you). Legend reacts to this more poorly than Hyrule does. Honestly, Hyrule doesn’t even get a chance to process before Legend is up out of his seat yelling. He’s desperate to defend his best friend.

This incites a small riot as Dawn and Aurora step in too. Dawn has been itching for a fight for months so this is easy. Soon half the entire group is trying to wrestle HYLIA operatives while the rest just watch, half heartedly try and stop the others, or sit in dread. 

The riot is stopped before it can really get started when the main offenders get sedated. 

Artemis and Hyrule are separated from the rest. HYLIA decides to send them in right away to avoid more confrontation.

Artemis is sent in alone and she’s glad for that. (She’s really not but she wouldn’t admit that to the others). That way nobody will see how scared she is.

Hyrule is also scared. They have him on a table and are getting ready to sedate him before they wipe his memory. They allow one visitor to come in. It’s Wild. Hyrule is relieved to have somebody with him but it’s obvious that he wishes Legend were there, his brother. Wild isn’t offended and does his best to be there for him. Even after Hyrule is unconscious he stays. He wonders if this is what it was like for Twilight. He vows to be with Hyrule soon. He kisses his forehead before he’s forced to leave.

And then, the first people are released in the maze. 

I have issues with articulation so if anything is confusing pls lmk 🙏 Also if there’s plot holes or anything stupid, or if something could’ve just been better LMK. I will not get offended

ty for reading 💕💕💕 More to come

LOL thank you this is the answer I was looking for! They miscommunicate with an emo/goth girl kinda swag…

I can’t explain it but vidow is so Yuri coded to me

Maybe it’s bc Shadow reminds me of Homura

I think this is my first Linked Universe post ever so I hope this isn’t messy!

LU Soul Eater AU: this is how I think it would with pairings and the mild plot I’ve cobbled together!

The chain are people who were selected to stop the reawakening of an ancient evil, it’s just this AU equivalent of Ganon. 

Hyrule and Legend would be a pair with Hyrule being the weapon and Legend the meister. Hyrule would be a magic rod capable of the spells that he knows from Zelda 2 and somewhat combined with the offensive abilities from his first game. Legend is very good at knowing what to push through and they’re very in sync with each other.

Four kind of goes against Soul Eater canon and his actual canon but in a way that I hope makes sense. He is a weapon, the four sword which in this AU is like a Scottish claymore sword, that’s made of the four colors after they essentially fuse together to create the weapon. Each color is also a weapon, all of them being different types of knives. Green a machete, Blue a trench knife specifically with the brass knuckle handle, Vio is a throwing knife, and Red a concealable switchblade. Shadow is their meister. 

Sky and Time are the next pairing with Sky being the weapon and Time the meister. Sky would be the equivalent of the master sword, an ancient weapon passed down by bloodline. For Sky and Time however, Sky had been a meister until recent events and Time was a weapon in his past.

Wind and Warriors are a pair with Wind as the weapon and Warriors the meister. Wind would be a flintlock pistol. Warriors never stayed the meister of a weapon for longer than a year until he and Wind met.

Finally, Twilight and Wild, Twilight the meister and Wild the weapon. I think Wild would be the bombs from his first game, or maybe another type of sheika tech. I had the most trouble figuring out this pair.

I have much more backstory for everybody but I was worried it would get too long. If you want to hear them though I’d be thrilled to talk about them! I’d also like to hear other headcanons if anyone has them! Especially when it comes to Wild and Twilight 😭 I have part of their backstories but for how they’d function, I’m coming up blank.

so I have a fully fleshed out hunger games duo hunger games fic that I really wanted to write but haven’t had the energy or inspiration to in like half a year.

would people still like to see the outlines and what I do have? I know that I still enjoy seeing people’s bullet points and outlines to fics they can’t finish so I was wondering if you all feel the same?

I was inspired by a lovely post from @mishapen-dear 💕

Hyrule’s Cooking Headcanon

I really hope nobody has said this or I’ll look silly. This is for Dunmeshi fans

Here we go

Hyrule is not a bad cook, tbh not bad at all, BUT. But. Everyone thinks his cooking is nasty bc he’s like Senshi and Laois from Delicious in Dungeon. He cooks with MONSTERS. Not necessarily for potions, but as meals.

Imagine: The chain is in Wild’s Hyrule. They kill a simple red bokoblin. Wild gathers his regular ingredients, teeth, claws, etc. Hyrule walks up to the corpse after Wild. Points at it. “Anybody gonna eat that?” The chain watches in horror as Hyrule surgically chops it open and cracks apart its chest. He smiles at the chain. “We can have ribs tonite. I think this is gonna go really well with the apples we picked earlier.” Cue gagging and general horror. Hyrule is not longer allowed to cook. They all thought it was fish in the soup he made last week. It was RIVER ZORA.

Wild comes around to the idea pretty fast (he’s not forgiving Hyrule for the Zora incident though) and they start cooking monsters together to the genuine fright and disgust to the rest of the chain.

I wanted to add a little epilogue where shortly after meeting each other they immediately get sucked up into portal that thankfully dumps them out onto Lon Lon Ranch. Malon finds them stumbling through her pastures, takes in the dried blood in Legend’s hairline and Hyrule’s drenched appearance. She basically looks at two pathetic drenched cats and takes them in. She has them feeling better in no time with a meal, baths, and a potion. When Time gets back home introductions and explanations go around. Upon hearing that they’re all called Link they’re like: omg it’s such a common name.

They think it’s a coincidence until Malon tells them: “you guys fell out of a portal. Nature is attacking you. You all have the same name. You don’t think you’re connected somehow?”

And then they’re all finally like: oh

I just think they’re all kinda dumb like that 💕 affectionately

AU where the Hyrule and Legend meet first before the rest of the chain.

The portal dumps Hyrule right in the middle of the ocean. Even if he could swim it would be futile as there’s no land for many miles. As he starts to drown he sees a flash of shimmering scales. He loses and regains consciousness over and over again over a course of time that he can’t count. Each time he wakes sees pretty pink scales, pink hair, gills, and violet eyes. Sometimes he even hears the comforting few notes of a song.

When he finally comes to it’s tucked safely under a cluster of palm trees on the shore of an unfamiliar beach in an even more unfamiliar, but familiar, Hyrule. He has to wonder if the goddess really does love him or if he really was rescued by a mermaid.

Legend had never intended to leave the unfortunate Hylian behind. He left him in a safe spot on the shore before looking for a nearby village that could give better medical attention than he could. He never would have expected an avalanche to descend out of nowhere. It’s not even rainy season. Before he can run or activate a shield he’s struck across the head and knows no more.

He gains consciousness a few times and each he sees the shining form of a green fairy, a color of fairy he’s never seen before. Each time he wakes he hears soft chiming and feels the warmth of fairy magic in his blood. When he finally comes to he’s nestled safely in the roots of a great old tree. He wonders if the green fairy was real or if one of his rings just activated.

Legend and Hyrule both travel for a day aching and tired. Each of them are determined to find the unfortunate soul they had to momentarily leave alone. They run into each other on the road and recognize one another immediately. Do they mention their acts of kindness or blatant recognition? NO.

Maybe one day in the future they mention being saved by a mermaid/odd green fairy. Do they piece together each other’s stories? Maybe…

Dawn Headcanon

Probably my biggest headcanon for LU, and honestly the Zelda games in general, is that Dawn was quite a bit older than Hyrule when he rescued her in Zelda 1.

I think while he was, I’m pretty sure canonically(?), around 10 or 11 she was more so like 17 or 18. I have no canon backing for this or any context at all besides that fact I like it for the following:

It’s no secret that fans of Hyrule and the first two Zelda games in the series have to do a lot of their own world building based off the lack of actual details the games give us. This paints a very lonely picture of Hyrule (in my modest opinion). He has no family members and not really any established friends in the series. Of course it’s implied that the Zelda’s probably think highly of him and he does have a few character interactions but the rest is purely left the speculation.

I like the idea of Dawn being quite a bit older than Hyrule because I like thinking that she brought him up as an elder sister to him, leaving him with a family member to return to. I also like the drama that would occur from her being older.

imagine: You are 18 and have been kidnapped by an ancient evil that not even you, the princess bestowed with power from the goddess herself can defeat. (I like to think that Dawn is brawny and tough. She is a princess yes, but she is the princess of a wasteland. She is a survivor with the rest of them.) You’re furious that this creature is razing your land to even more pieces and you are also disappointed in yourself. You have high expectations for yourself being one of the only figures of authority left in this place. You don’t expect to be rescued, it’s a dog eat dog world out here, but you are. And your brave rescuer is 10 years old 😭

I like to think that she’d be horrified that the only person in this world to try and save their princess is a literal child. So she takes him under her wing and finds that he is quite literally half feral. Like he growls at strangers and doesn’t know basic hygiene. So she takes it upon herself to teach this kid how to live as a proper person 😭

she feels kind of awful, like she’s stripping away his core as she civilizes this child, but she firmly believes it’s for his own good. If he doesn’t know how to clean himself he will fall to infection, even as he bites and screeches as Dawn painstakingly brushes and cuts the mats out of his hair. He hates learning math and reading, it caused him a frustration that not even fighting darknuts had caused him, but without it he can’t read road signs or spell books. Through blood, sweat, and tears Dawn manages to mold Hyrule into a person.

it’s not all bad though, she teaches him to forage for medicinal herbs and he takes to it like breathing. He starts smiling at her and rarely, in a hushed croaky voice, he shares conversations with her.

Dawn is the first to fight her own council when they want to cast out her little hero as his blood begins to drawn in beasts. She’s the first to cry when they don’t give her a choice and her little brother is cast from underneath her arms back into the wastes. he visits occasionally and sometimes she receives a letter, but there isn’t a day that passes that Dawn doesn’t miss those days he spent under her care.

I just really see Hyrule as the type of boy to have a big sister. She forcefully loved him and he learned to be loved.

(I think later on Aurora would be like a little sister to Hyrule giving him a little taste of what Dawn had to put up with him but that’s a different conversation)

I find Dawn really interesting and I feel like I don’t see much of her at all in the fandom. I think there’s a lot of potential in the princess of a wasteland kingdom (as so many people chose to see Rulie’s era). In general, I wish I could see more of the Zeldas.

if you have thoughts on any of the Zeldas pls lmk!! I love nothing more than hashing out different thoughts and headcanons
