Soul Eater AU: Legend and Hyrule

I would like to ask that everybody please ignore my poor drawing skills 😭 I’m very rusty right now so these are basically caveman drawings of what I’m trying to convey. 

As aforementioned Hyrule is the weapon out of the duo and he’s a magic rod inspired greatly by the one he used in Zelda 1. He’s about 4 feet tall in that form and can perform a couple of spells from Zelda 2: Jump, Shield, Reflect, Thunder, and Life. I think they could perform other spells or even rituals.

Hyrule has a lot of magic potential while Legend only has a bit but it works well with Legend only needing a little bit to cast while Hyrule basically pushes the spell out in a much bigger form. If they complete bigger spells there runs the risk of both of them exhausting themselves. 

They discovered in a bad fight that in a pinch, Hyrule can be used as a melee weapon as he has some weight 😭 They use this sparingly because it sets Legend up to be more likely hurt and Hyrule really isn’t meant to be used that way.

Hyrule is the son of a very infamous witch that was slain when he was very young. We’ll say maybe 5 years old? The royal family “took him in” as means to watch him closely and keep him away from the public. He wasn’t horribly bullied but was largely ignored or feared growing up. He was allowed to study very little magic in fear that he would develop into a witch. He had a very lonely childhood :(

Legend is the spare prince of Hyrule (the country) and was sent to live with his uncle to learn magic and combat. His father also wasn’t too sure what to do with an extra child. He grew up happy and out of the public eye until he was 12 when an assassin tried to end him. His uncle intervened and died protecting him. 

He was sent back to the castle to live, and there he met Hyrule, another lonely child. They became fast friends and realized that they were compatible as weapon and meister. Legend’s father sent them to school, idk if it would be death academy, where they became top of their class despite having a very shaky reputation built around the narrative of being the spare prince and son of a witch. 

At 16, Rule, and 17, Legend, they’re selected to go on a holy quest with 7 other people to stop an ancient evil from resurrection.

And that’s their story!! 

This has also somewhat become my emo/goth dress up game AS well as which demonias I think each would wear 😽 I forgot that in Soul Eater all of the characters wear big goth/emo shoes. I gave Hyrule the Boxer-13s and Legend… he gets bestowed the classic Swing-815s. 

I’d love to hear anybody’s thoughts, I love talking about this, whether it’s personal headcanons or fashion

who’s next? LU Soul Eater AU

LU Soul Eater AU: Four

I must admit, Four has a really edgy 2014 lab AU that I spent too much time thinking about. I did have fun though so here’s his backstory and a trigger warning for unethical human experimentation. I don’t think it’s anything more graphic than what would be in Soul Eater.

A small disclaimer: I’m going mostly off of what I remember from the manga for any sense of canon, I haven’t had the privilege of playing the game yet. 😔

I think I mentioned before, but each of Four’s colors are a different type of knife. Together they’re able form the four sword.

Green is a machete. 

I decided on that for him because I think that machetes look really dangerous, showing up in a lot of horror media, and can cause a lot of harm, but that is not what they are meant for. Machetes are meant for clearing bush and foliage away to clear paths through forest or jungle. They can be used to obtain resources. A trailblazer or leader might use this knife. Green grew up with his father who was a captain in the royal guard. Green was being groomed as a weapon for the Princess Dot. Upon manifesting as a machete, a lot of people, especially Green’s own father, were disappointed and believed him to be a poor weapon for a princess looking crude and brutal. Together, Dot and Green proved the masses wrong, with them both proving themselves as leaders before fighters. 

Vio is a throwing knife. 

Vio is a child runaway. I can’t figure out what would be a good reason for him to run or what his family would be like, but I imagine he learned a dangerous secret. I also like to think that despite Vio being very smart, he can be unreasonable and is able to rationalize himself into making bad choices. He’s a throwing knife because it takes a lot of learning and skill to be able to wield a weapon such as that. It also takes something crazy to throw your weapon away from you and be able to rely on it to return. Vio can be recalled by his meister, but it has to be of his own accord. He can also control his flight to some degree. Up until the events I’ll describe in a minute, he had never been wielded before.

Blue is a trench knife.

In the background of the events during my story, there’s a war raging in the background that’s much more prevalent in Warrior’s story. This has caused a lot of children to be orphaned, Blue included. He grows up in a poorly funded orphanage and gets into a lot of fights growing up. I chose a trench knife for Blue because it is a very brutal weapon, something which I think he can be. It’s also a weapon that when you use, you know that you are aiming to really hurt your opponent and that you have to get really close to do so. There are also two main ways to use a trench knife, the blade, ofc, and the brass knuckles which I think kind of show how Blue thinks outside the box, especially in combat. It’s also a weapon that’s mean to be used when your back is against the wall.

Red is a Switchblade.

Red also grew up in an orphanage also due to the war. He and Blue grew up in the same place but weren’t close with each other. He definitely grew up more of a lover having a high level of empathy. Despite being picked on, maybe bullied a bit, Red is the type of person who never wants to hurt somebody else even in self defense. I chose the switchblade for Red because it kind of conceals its nature most of the time hiding in a sheath. A switchblade is a weapon that has to be used in close quarters, but unlike Blue’s trench knife, the opponent might not even recognize it as a weapon until it’s too late. Switchblades are spring loaded and fast, but by pressing a button, the user has a lot of choice before they use it. I think Red would be able to stop himself from being triggered in his weapon form if he tried hard enough.

All of the four were born in the same year, all being roughly the same age. (Yay this means I can choose their zodiacs!) When they were all 11, each of them were kidnapped in the same winter by a witch called Vaati. Vio was first, being a homeless child he was hungry enough to be lured in by the prospect of working for food and board. This later would be something he feels ashamed of thinking himself more clever than that. Next would be Red who thought he was helping an elderly woman carry her groceries home… into a dark alleyway. Blue would be next, probably just being classically kidnapped after he poked around somewhere shady. Green would be the last, going on a personal mission to investigate the rapid disappearance of kids from the city he lived in. 

Vaati is a witch who is trying to make weaker weapons stronger in order to arm the army of the ancient evil (ganon) that he and many other witches are trying to revive.  For his first experiment, he wants to fuse several small/young weapons into one big stronger one. He chose the four because they’re young enough to be malleable but old enough to actually be able to turn into their weapons. They also conveniently have a lot in common, age, gender, and weapon type which Vaati thinks will make it easier to fuse them.

Vaati begins a series of experiments that don’t really seem to make sense to the four. He’ll force them all to work together to complete puzzles only to rip them apart for the next few. Vio, who’s been there the longest, plays along well knowing what to expect. Green, who’s been training already for a long time, doesn't struggle too much with physical or mental challenges. Red and Blue however struggle a lot causing Vaati to use crueler and crueler experiments to get them to obey.

Vaati’s struggle with Red and Blue resides in that Blue fights back the most and is actually quite brawny for a tween and Red won’t fight at all refusing to take his weapon form and even if he does, he won’t unsheath. Blue is something Vaati must subdue and break in. Red is something to trigger. He routinely exposes them to extreme temperatures, Blue the cold and Red the heat, and subjects them to frightening simulations. (I’m basing this off the manga with blue being frozen, red in the burning village, the giant poe)

Most confusingly, he makes the four wield each other which is not natural/impossible for weapons to do. Vaati achieves this with the help of magic.

Vaati works using his own son Shadow as an assistant. Shadow is a similar age as the boys and enjoys the power he gets to lord over them. Secretly, he’s really happy to have so many other kids around. That being said. He hasn’t been properly socialized so his idea of trying to play with them is just by mildly tormenting them. 

Vio is the first to start befriending Shadow. Like in the manga, he does this with the intention of later betraying him, planning on using him as means to escape. He unexpectedly begins to genuinely like Shadow and starts to experience extreme guilt in thinking about what he’s going to do. Nevertheless, Vio begins to start faking Stockholm syndrome. This is really confusing for the rest of the boys. Blue thinks that Vio is bad person and is actually siding with Vaati. This leads to a fight between them that results in Vio being separated from the rest of the boys. (I didn’t mention it but they’re usually locked in the same room between experiments.) Red believes that Vio actually has Stockholm syndrome and feels really bad for him. Green can see through Vios' plan but just thinks that it’s a really bad idea. He doesn’t say anything though because he doesn’t want to ruin it for him just in case it does work. 

Red is the next to befriend Shadow, though it’s unintentional. Despite everything, Red does his best to remain kind, maybe not so much to Vaati, but to Shadow, sure. Red thinks that Shadow is just a brainwashed kid, which he’s kind of right about. Shadow starts to like Red because he’ll go along with any game he wants to play. 

Green falls after Red gets more chill with Shadow. The games they play look fun and Green really didn’t have a lot of chances to play growing up. He starts to take a page from Vio’s book, trying to pry information where he can from Shadow. Somehow he feels less bad about this than Vio does. 

Blue thinks everyone is going crazy in here so he takes to verbally bullying Shadow whenever he swings by. Shadow, being a weirdo, thinks that it’s a form of banter so he just bullies Blue back. Unexpectedly, and to his own horror, Blue finds it really fun to be able to have a witty back and forth with somebody who can match his level.

Shadow for the first month or two is really his dad kidnapped people his age. It’s so FUN having people to play with! He even has a best friend now in Vio. He doesn’t really think about the implications of his dad hurting his new friends, and his role in that, until they start acting different. 

Vio starts having panic attacks (out of nowhere!/s) and can take hours or even days to calm down rendering him unable to even speak. This is the first thing that rattles Shadow. It’s the first time he felt hurt seeing somebody else hurt. His attempts to calm Vio down begin selfishly, wanting him to stop acting weird and to start acting like his best friend again. Eventually it turns into genuine and raw concern. Shadow, for the first time, feels bad because somebody else does. He starts just really wanting Vio to be okay. 

His other playmates start breaking down too. Red is too exhausted now to play. He sleeps most of the day away and when he’s awake he’s too shaky and weak to do anything. Blue becomes dissonant, stuck staring at walls. He won’t respond to even the strongest of Shadow’s remarks. Green is caught between caring for the other two. He becomes too busy to try and pry information out of Shadow.

Then a day comes where Vaati gathers each boy and throws them into the middle of a collection of runes drawn on the ground with a combination of their blood. A flash and they’re all rendered into their weapon states, unwillingly. After a few moments there’s another flash and only a single weapon remains. The Four Sword. When the weapon takes its human form back, only one terrified boy stands sharing features of the four that formed it. 

Despite Vaati’s satisfaction, Shadow feels that something REALLY wrong just happened, and it did. He later visits “Four. Four is shell shocked, barely able to walk, confused, and really, REALLY scared. He looks at Shadow and begs him to let him out. Shadow obliges.

Picking up the newly formed Four sword, Shadow vanquishes his own father and runs with his new friend Four. Shadow was greatly wounded in the fight, his father cursing him to never stand in sunlight. Four is traumatized and so confused. He decides to go to Green’s father, now technically Four’s father, unsure of where else to go. 

The two boys tell the story to Four’s dad and a proper raid is unleashed on Vaati’s lab, leaving out the parts where Shadow was Vaati’s accomplice for most of the time. No body is found. Four’s father tries to defuse him, which just terrifies him. Shadow gets some medical treatment but most people don’t want to treat him, as he was Vaati’s son. 

Four’s father, unsure what to do with two traumatized children, dumps them on his father, Four’s grandfather who lives out of town as a blacksmith. There they all heal and after a few years learn to defuse. They’ve all spent so much time together though that they can’t bare to part. They are literally part of each other now. Green’s father decides to give them all knight training and Shadow learns how to wield each of them and Four properly. They all know how to wield each other too but this is uncanny for a lot of people. Weapons wielding weapons… 

Shadow goes missing at the end of a dangerous mission. All too soon, Four is called to accompany 8 others on a holy quest. He sets out determined to save the world and his best friend. 

And that’s Four 😭 goodness that ended up a lot longer than I expected. 

Please, and I’m begging 🙏🙏🙏, let me know what you think, your own headcanons, critiques, questions, ANYTHING. And who you’d like to see next! 

Thank you 💕

Who left a letter written in the enderman language in Sir Francis Drakes’ estate and why are you calling me a homosexual?

The sun is beginning to rise, and my eyes are blinking at different rates, but it's starhalo.

the hero’s clothes

So. The hero’s clothes, like the traditional green tunic and cap, is often like a uniform worn by the hero I think best seen in Sky, Twilight, and Wind’s games. It’s often referred back to what the first hero wore in reflection of him.

Time, however, wears the tunic and hat bc it’s custom for the Kokiri. Everyone wears that outfit in the forest.

When it gets down to Legend, there’s no mention in his games of why he would wear something like that so, here’s where my headcanoning comes in. Legend always heard about the fallen hero and he feels a great deal of empathy and grief for him. When he starts his first quest, being so close in age to the fallen hero, he understands him even more. So to honor him, he decided to dress as he did. To take him with him so that when he slays Ganon it’s as if the fallen hero is with him taking his revenge.

Hyrule just really looked up to the Hero of Legend and wanted to cosplay him when he was a little kid. He refuses to admit to the chain this until Dawn or Aurora dig it out of him over a dinner.

Something something Dapper and Leo being the first ones to comfort each other when they first got cracked and then Dapper was one of the first ones to comfort Leo when she met up with Bad.

Something about Leo and Dapper constantly spending time with each other in the early days because how much Foolish and Bad spent time together. So much that I believe Bad said they were family and thats how Foolish and Bad became Tios.

Something about how Bad took a photo of Leo saying “Te quiero mucho” to Bad and how Bad said that she is precious and has a heart too big for her body. How Bad always makes sure to try to repeat any keywords in spanish for Leo and is always very soft and gentle with her.

Something about how Foolish and Dapper always pick on each other and fight, but Foolish never uses a weapon and only uses his fist. Something how when Bad was in the cage, Foolish was 100% down to do Dapper’s quest and knows that if anything happened to Bad, Foolish would take care of Dapper.

Something about how Bad and Dapper waited with Foolish when Leo died from a whale for almost two hours to try to get Foolish relax.

Something about how much Foolish, Leo, Dapper, and Bad all care for each other and consider each other family. How they always gravitate to each other any time they are near each other.

My take on Hyrule’s Backstory

I think one of the reasons why I love Hyrule’s character and that very first Zelda game so much is because of how much there is to speculate on and world build from the little provided to you.

My own take on Hyrule is that I think he would’ve been born to a fairy and to a hylian making him half fairy half hylian. The fairy would’ve probably been a budding great fairy. I wrote about my theories about fairy reproduction somewhere on my blog but it basically boils down to that I don’t think fairies actually have sexes, or chromosomes, and their idea of gender mainly comes from what they overhear from Hylians.

This means fairies reproduce asexually, in my own headcanoning. I think they do this by fusing, kinda Steven universe style lol 😔 When they fuse it creates both a stronger fairy, the two that fused, and a new fairy from the leftover energy. When fairies defuse that’s what grows their population.

When Hyrule’s parents met they fell in love. One thing led to another and they created him. Since Hylians and fairies don’t have the same form of reproduction, it caused both of them to basically sacrifice all of their energy and lives to make him. It might’ve been an accident creating him, they didn’t know it would kill them, but even if it was neither of them would regret it if they had known.

Hyrule’s fairy aunts raise him for the first 6 years of his life until they realize that he might be the keeper of the hero’s spirit. He’s also getting really big and they’re starting to lack in resources a growing half-hylian needs. So begrudgingly they relinquish him to a small catholic convent at the border of Calatia.

Hyrule doesn’t really enjoy this. He went from living as a free spirit surrounded by nature and love to a very authoritative and strict setting. The nuns that he lives with also treat him as a girl. I think biologically Hyrule would only have 1 X chromosome to his name with the other one being something made of pure magic. So his sex is technically female? On his mothers side at least. Whatever he inherited from his fairy parent’s side looks feminine by hylian standards so they treat him as such.

I have another headcanon that Hylia prefers for all that carry the hero’s spirit to be male to represent that very first hero. Whenever a person who carries the hero’s spirit is born with anything but XY chromosomes gets gently bestowed with SEVERE GENDER DYSPHORIA from the goddess herself.

When Hyrule is around 9 or 10 he gets fed up and too antsy to stay much longer so he packs a small bag and sets out on his own adventure. I don’t think he would be catholic after staying at the convent. My time in catholic school definitely didn’t make me Catholic. That being said, I don’t think he’d hate the stories so he carries a bible with him and occasionally uses some practices in his adventures. Like in his second game when he uses a cross to deter moas.

And that’s my take on Hyrule’s backstory before his quests.

LU Soul Eater AU: Legend

Thank you to everyone who Voted! Poor Legend 😭 his story starts with his birth (and some world building)

In this AU, Hyrule is a LARGE empire around the size of North America. In it are several ruling families that serve the Empress. Legend’s father is the second most high ranking royal, the king of western Hyrule. He rules over the largest part of land that doesn’t belong to the Empress.

I don’t think the king in ALTTP has a canon name so in this I’ll call him King West for simplicity.

King West and his wife, Queen West, have Fable. Unfortunately for Queen West, she struggles a lot with postpartum depression and spends some time recovering. This time is incredibly stressful for King West, who finds himself as the soul leader of western Hyrule, so he decides to blow off some steam and has an affair with a maid. 

Obviously this is Legend’s mother. She gives birth to him 10 months after Fable was born, (they’re Irish twins!), and passes away due to complications during it.

At this point a lot of the palace staff are really pissed off that this happened. Being left with the King’s bastard, they decide to bring Legend to the ENTIRE castle’s attention. This news reaches the king just a little after it reaches the Queen.

She’s FURIOUS. He had a stressful year??? She thought she was going to DIE.

Advisors suggest surrendering the boy to an orphanage where he can grow up anonymously, but the gossip of the king’s bastard son has already traveled far enough that the other kingdoms of Hyrule know it. They cannot renounce royal blood. Hylia flows through the child’s veins. 

The Queen demands that the child will not be raised in her castle. She cannot bear to watch the king’s “mistake” wander her halls. The king decides to send the child to be raised by his brother, Legend’s uncle, who is a small lord at the kingdom’s border. 

The king and Queen cannot divorce, but the Queen ends up spending most of her time traveling the empire on diplomatic missions. Fable is mostly raised by her father.

(Years later the Queen regrets her decision in casting Legend out. Legend does not. He’s actually grateful to have been raised away from court.)

Despite the amount of mess surrounding his birth, Legend is raised to be a very happy boy under his uncle’s care. He grows up in a small fort surrounded by apple trees and friends. His uncle never wed nor had children, so he gets all the attention he needs. He rides horses, learns some magic, and how to farm over the years.

Right before his 12th birthday, a witch called Agahnim sends western Hyrule into chaos. Legend’s Uncle is summoned to the castle to provide extra defense. Despite warning Legend to stay home, he sneaks after him. 

His uncle is too late, the castle is already taken over. Legend finds his uncle bleeding out. His uncle tells him that he needs to find his sister and get to safety before he dies in Legend’s arms.

Now he’s all alone. He finds Fable terrified and together they escape. Together they decide that they must take down Agahnim before he claims the rest of their kingdom. 

Fable can turn into a sword (I’m still trying to think of what type but a rapier is really burning into my brain). Wielding his sister, they go through a long and hard journey, eventually killing Agahnim and restoring “peace and balance” to their kingdom.

And Legend feels AWFUL. His father joyfully has him stay back at the kingdom. He’s a hero now. The Queen wouldn’t keep a hero from living in the castle, would she? 

He hates it. He starts taking etiquette classes and begins to learn how to be a proper prince. To make matters worse, Fable doesn’t even stay in Western Hyrule for most of the time. She’s usually in the northwest studying with her meister, Princess Dot.

He’s lonely and scared. When Agahnim attacked, he sent a curse over the land to cause all the knights to hunt him down. Now as he walks the castle halls he has to look at the people who wanted to hurt him only a few months ago. He also can’t stop having nightmares about his uncle. He misses him terribly.

Thankfully, this degree of hurt and loneliness doesn’t last too long. He keeps catching glimpses of a short kid who doesn’t look like he’s from here darting about the castle. One day they run into each other and he finally meets Hyrule.

Hyrule and Legend click instantly. Upon finding out that Hyrule is a weapon, specifically a magic weapon, they both become greatly excited to practice spells together. Legend and Hyrule both are very happy about this because neither of them have been able to practice their magic since moving into the castle. Eventually they get caught and this is a great concern. Hyrule is a lot of things: Sweet, cunning, powerful, Legend’s new best friend, and the son of the witch that corrupted all of southern Hyrule/political prisoner. 

King West tries to tell Legend that he and Hyrule can no longer see each other. That Hyrule is potentially- No is. Very dangerous. Legend throws his first tantrum. Queen West who is back for diplomatic affairs has been eaten away by her guilt of casting the young prince away for years. She gives Legend permission to become Hyrule’s full time meister. 

King West does not want to deal with this so he sends the two away to a boarding school that will properly train them. 

When Legend turns 16, he’s sent by his father on a solo quest to Labrynna and Holodrum which are part of the neighboring empire to Hyrule. There he does good deeds, the oracle games, in order to maintain good relations between them and Hyrule. On the way back he gets into an awful boat wreck, Link’s Awakening, barely making it home. 

Freshly traumatized, all he wants to see is his best friend. Unfortunately, while he was gone, Hyrule was sent back to southern Hyrule where he completed his own quest, Adventure of Link basically. 

Despite completing his quest, Hyrule hasn’t returned, having gone missing, so Legend sets out to look for him. 

Southern Hyrule is a combination of Hyrule’s games and Lorule. I’ll get more into when I retcon and write Hyrule’s part. 

Legend meets Ravio and strengthens ties between Southern Hyrule and Western Hyrule. Southern Hyrule has been oppressed by the rest of the empire for a long time. After it was taken over and cursed by a witch, Rule’s mom, 70ish years ago, it’s basically been under martial law/abandoned by the rest of the empire. It has multiple rulers and it is fraying apart. With Fable, Legend is able to secure future ties between the two kingdoms.

Finally he finds Hyrule, also freshly traumatized by his mission, and takes him home, not to the castle, but to his uncle's old fort which he finds under possession of Ravio. 

A few years of growing pass before they’re asked to join a new mission. 

And that’s Legend! I’m sorry if the world building is choppy, I’m still working on it! Please please please lmk what you all think! Lmk who you’d like to see next and any thoughts or headcanons you have!!
