Something Something Dapper And Leo Being The First Ones To Comfort Each Other When They First Got Cracked

I’m too tired to try and write an actual Drabble, but I think Dapper made it onto the boat with the elytra

Imagine with me:

The last we saw from bbh’s pov was Dapper pearling away. I imagine he makes it to a high point and uses the elytra, flying after the boat. He starts losing momentum and remembers his firework, which he uses just in time. It’s just enough to propel him fast enough to catch up. He crash lands onto the deck hard but everyone takes care of him.

Poor Dapper is absolutely distraught, more than anyone has ever seen him. He’s disoriented and hurt from months of running and being kidnapped. He hit the deck hard enough to hurt himself but he’s safe at the cost of his Father, siblings, and the rest of his family.

I imagine he’s inconsolable but everyone is able to take care of him.

OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

the stance.

the multiple shovels.

stepping on the creatures 😭

the sweat 😭😭😭😭

omg this is wonderful tysm for drawing this I feel so so honored

idk if this has been said before but a headcanon of mine (from my ✨personal✨ collection) is that before Hyrule met Legend he thought that he’d have a sort of Heman (He-Man???) build

Like this ^ before meeting him bc the legends were always saying stuff like “The hero of Legend could lift BOULDERS with his bare hands!!! He could run faster than an arrow 😤”

and poor Rulie always felt like such a fraud bc he was using power cuff and rings to aide himself

when he finally meets Legend and finds out he’s a slight malnourished twink that’s also been using magic items to aide himself he’s so happy and relieved.

there’s also something so special about being able to see yourself in your hero and finding out they’re not some perfect alpha chad but a genuine person who wasn’t ready to fight but had to blah blah blah

AU where both Etoiles and BBH are both aro but they don’t know or understand that being aro is a thing so they both just think something is wrong with them so to try and feel “normal” they start dating

they both figure out really quick that they admire the other a lot and enjoy each others company but definitely don’t feel any romantic feelings for each other but have accidentally faked romantic feelings and think the other one is in love with them and they feel so bad for misleading them that they just don’t break up and keep going on for years until they’re married with kids

just the type of shenanigans I think they’d get up to

they sleep in separate beds 1950s style

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

This idea would not leave me alone, plays into the idea that when Bad sunk the city of Atlantis it was Foolish's City and thats how the two meet.

Bad feels very bad about it which is why he's super tiny right now.

The one like is from Skeppy

is there any canon to there being only a 5 hour time slot to do missions?

I think the most realistic sensible one would be that’s the only time frame they have on the island to do missions and actions that influence their percentages but that’s kinda boring for a fanfic/fantasy perspective

it also gets kind of convoluted with that even though their percentages won’t change, they could still grind out stuff to prep for missions

My thoughts are that:

(in fanon) there is no five hour time limit and they are just constantly on edge, anarchy server style

out of those 5 hours they’re just put into comas. They drop where they stand

They're overcome with such intense exhaustion and weakness that they can’t even really do work

magic, they can’t interact with anything relating to quests

pls pls pls share your guy’s thoughts

I have reason to believe Twilight would be from Kentucky

American Chain Headcanon 😮‍💨

this is stupid 😭

I was laying down, having myself a maladaptive daydream session, and couldn’t get this out of my head

here’s which state I think each member of the chain would be from if they were American

Wind is from Hawai’i and you cannot take that from me. If I were being biased I would say he’s from Oahu, but I could also see him being from Kauai. I just really see him as a town rat though growing up in Honolulu. I just think he’d love screwing around with tourists and sneaking into resort swimming pools

I think Hyrule would be from Alaska. Something to do with the sheer amount of wildlife and surprising rate of violent deaths that occur there resonate. In all realness tho, I think he would grow up on a frontier or homestead of some type. Maybe he would be a reservation kid

Warriors would be from Virginia. I believe he would grow up surrounded by military communities. I think he’d grow up as an Army brat (he’d probably move a lot but Virginia is home base to him). He’d get into West Point and follow his family’s footsteps in the military.

Wild would be from Florida. I don’t really feel like I need to explain this one. He’d go barefoot into the Everglades and mess around with wildlife. He’d love petty crime. 

Legend is a NYC kid but he’s spent every summer of his life visiting family in Boston. He grew up in Queens and has a thick NYC accent. When he comes home from the summer he has a Bostonian accent 😭 he knows the subway like second nature, how to barter, and the best food joints. 

Sky is midwestern I think he’d grow in Minnesota. He’s also got a strong accent. Very well adjusted to the cold. His idea of a salad is probably not your idea of a salad 😬

I think Twilight would be Texan but I’ve seen strong arguments for him being Appalachian and honestly I can’t decide. No… I think he’d grow up in Appalachia. Ugh or maybe he’d grow up in Montana on a ranch there. I can’t decide. Pls help

I think Time would be Californian but he brings it up never 😭 one day somebody asks him where he grew up and he’s just like: Sacramento. The only reason I thought that is bc Sacramento is the city of trees… Time gave me lots of trouble. Another possibility is that he just answers with a different city each time he’s asked. Maybe he’s from Cincinatti 😭 Ohio

Four is so weird. He’s Canadian (ily Canadians). I think he’d be from Montreal but has zero accent. He’s fluent in French.

pls feel free to argue with me or offer your own thoughts

how do we feel about CatBoyHalo as a username?

RIP Joann, now what?

I wanted to make a post I could copy and paste and or link when I see folks asking where to buy fabrics when Joann is gone. I sew a lot, generally between 100-200 items a year and I don't do it on a big budget. Stores are not in a particular order.

Notions:

Wawak.com - start here, mostly stay here. Wawak is a supplier for professional sewing businesses and have the prices that show it. I will not pay for gutermann Mara 100 anywhere else. I buy buttons, tools, thread, and most elastic here.

Stitch Love Studio - this is where I buy lingerie supplies https://www.etsy.com/shop/StitchLoveStudio?ref=yr_purchases

Fabric:

Fabric Mart - this is one where you want to sign up for emails and never buy unless its on sale. They run different sales every day and they rotate. Mostly deadstock fabrics but I buy more from here than anywhere else. Fantastic customer service and if you watch you can get things like $6 wool suiting or $4 cotton jersey. https://fabricmartfabrics.com/

Fabrics-Store - again, buy the sales not the full price. Sign up for the emails but redirect them to a folder because it is TOO MANY. They stock linen or good but not amazing quality. https://www.fabrics-store.com/

Purple Seamstress - This is where I buy my solid cotton lycra jersey. They have other things, but the jersey is what I'm here for. Inexpensive and very good quality. If you ask she will mail you a swatch card for the solids. https://purpleseamstressfabric.com/

LA Finch - deadstock fabrics with a fantastic remnant selection https://lafinchfabrics.myshopify.com/

Califabrics - mix of deadstock and big brands, easy to navigate and always seem to have good denim in stock. https://califabrics.com/

Boho Fabrics - good variety, nice bundles. I have also gotten some really great trims from here. https://www.bohofabrics.com/

Firecracker Fabrics - garment and quilting fabrics, really nice selection and great sale section. I've bought $5 yard quilting cottons here several times. https://www.firecrackerfabrics.com/

Hancock's of Paducah - Quilting fabric and some limited garment fabric. AMAZING sale section. Do not sleep on the sale section. This is my first stop when buying quilting fabrics. Usually the last stop too. Not particularly speedy shipping. https://www.hancocks-paducah.com/

Itokri - This is something a little different. Itokri is an Indian business with incredible traditional fabrics. Shipping to the US is expensive, but the fabric is so inexpensive it evens out. I generally end up paying like $30 for shipping. Beautiful ikat and block prints. https://itokri.com/

Miss Matatabi - this is a little treat. This isn't where you go to save money, but there are so many beautiful things in this shop. Ships from Japan incredibly quickly. https://shop.missmatatabi.com/

Lucky Deluxe - Craft thrift store, always has an incredible selection and fantastic customer service. I need to close the tab fast because I never go to this website without finding something I need. https://www.luckydeluxefabrics.com/

Swanson's - the OG of online craft thrift stores, but I find their website harder to navigate. https://www.swansonsfabrics.com

Honorary Mentions: I haven't shopped at these places yet but I have had them recommended and likely will at some point.

A Thrifty Notion - https://athriftynotion.com/

Creative Closeouts - https://creativecloseoutsfabric.com/ being rebranded to sewsnip.com on March 1 - quilting deadstock

Hawthorne Supply Co. - I just got this rec and I think I need to not look too closely or I'm going to slip with my debit card. https://www.hawthornesupplyco.com/

This is not an exhaustive list of everywhere you can buy fabric, or even a full list of where I shop. There are SO many options out there in the world. You also need to think outside the fabric store box. I thrift men's shirt fabrics for quilts and sheets for backing fabric. I don't do a ton of in person thrifting and my local stores don't get a lot of craft materials but every thrift store is its own universe and reflects the community it is in. Go out and find something cool.

Oh and final note: Don't shop at Hobby Lobby.

I don't have a good ship to ask about but I do like your takes so here's a related question, or two if you want them—What's a ship you see around that you don't like? And what's a ship you wish you saw more of?

Hrm, I think if I had to pick a ship I didn't like that I saw a lot of it'd be Link/Sidon -- I'm just way too gay for that man.

He's a wonderful character! I think he'd treat Link well (although a lot of people make him do a lot of caretaking I am at best indifferent to or actively dislike.) But he's SUCH a guy. He's the platonic ideal of a Guy, and I?

I am a lesbian. Men need to work much harder than that to appeal to me in media. They need something wrong with them.

Sidon's main redeeming trait in my mind isn't usually depicted on Tumblr, so alas, it goes in my No Thank You ships.

The ship I DO wish I saw more of is hysterically the example of what makes a gay ship really work for me and that's GanLink. I really don't see it on Tumblr which is a travesty because I'm trying to! Some of it does exist, but it just doesn't make it into AUs and stories the same way.

And lemme tell you, people have to try to NOT have these boys have something wrong with them in exciting ways. LOL But that's my short opinions on the subject yes!
