Hey kid you want a job?
Great get online and go to a job board. Indeed, Linkedin whatever. Now you're gonna search for a role that's in your city, fits your qualifications, and doesn't seem like a bad time.
See that easy apply button? Don't hit it they just throw those in the trash. Now you're gonna want to go to the company's website and check their careers page.
Oh? That job doesn't exist anymore. Cool go back to the job board and find another one.
Great you found another job, you're on the company's career page and the job exists!! So you're going to need to make an account on the career page website. They're using Workday, the same site as the last job you applied for? Who cares? You need to make another account for THIS job's workday page.
Now you're going to upload your resume. That'll autopopulate about 15 boxes with everything on your resume, except formatted wrong and with tons of errors. So just go through and painstakingly check the dates on all of that and rewrite everything you already laid out in an aesthetically pleasing format on your resume.
Ok time for the cover letter, explain why this specific job and company are deeply important to you. You love their mission statement and wouldn't even laugh if their ceo was gunned down in the street. You'll really want to reiterate the things you just spent the last 20 minutes filling out on the resume section
(Remember to include language from the job description, people who work in HR are lower than dogs and they need patterns or they get confused.) Write about a page, but hey don't sound too desperate or robotic this is where they judge your character!
Maybe add your portfolio site at the end here, who knows if that helps no one has ever clicked mine haha.
Anywayyy time to hit apply! Congrats! You'll see that confirmation email come in and you should be getting the rejection letter in about 2 weeks. Unfortunately your resume didn't have the right buzzwords and the AI auto rejected you :(
Time to start again and try not to kill yourself!
I really like the aus where at the end of Four Swords the colors don’t become one again and they start a found family situation.
So imagine that right- the colors never went back and have spent the last 5 or so years growing into their own people. They get their own hobbies, their own lives, and… their own aesthetics!
Blue gets muscular, Green gets tan, Red dyes his hair, Vio wears heels. I think despite looking identical in features they would eventually start looking a bit different as they grow up.
As just mentioned, Blue has more bulk than the others, maybe he wears his hair shorter. Green spends a lot of his time outside training so he gets tanner than the rest. On the other hand Vio spends most his time indoors so he’s really pale. The heels also make people assume he’s like 5 inches taller than he is. After Red dyes his hair the rest like that idea so they all dye theirs too.
Eventually they all look so different people don’t even think they came from the same person unless they look really close.
When the Four Sword calls again they don’t know what will happen but of course they all go with courage, it’s their unifying shared trait after all.
And they become Link again for the first time in years and…
They have their original hair color and complexion. They’re short and only moderately muscular. Four’s complexion has evened out into something pale-ish (Vio bringing down the curve fr). And…
Their hair had all been so differently done from one another, varying in length and style. Apparently fused together it makes… a fuck ass bob.
Four feels weird being one person again but when he first looks in a mirror he only really has one feeling. He NEEDS scissors stat. Before he can do a thing about it the portal swallows him.
(The other heroes just really think he was into the hero of men. They all respectfully don’t mention the fact they all think that Four is constantly cosplaying. Four dies inside every time he has a chance to get a good look at his hair. It’s so blunt… not even layered. He never gets a chance to fix it.)
(When he reunites with Shadow the shade cry laughs at him until he realizes that whatever Four does reflects onto him. Commence Shadow chasing Four with scissors)
(When Four is finally able to split at some point all of the colors immediately are like: “we didn’t chose the haircut”)
I’m gonna be honest, I never really vibed with Four’s haircut and it’s made me genuinely feel guilty. It’s grown on me over time but it did take some time 💔
is there a discord or any support group for people trying to write qsmp fanfics?
yesss
Hc: I don't think hg!Cellbit was a bloodthirsty man during the Hunger Games.
He was a child (14y) thrown into an arena who had to learn to kill if he wanted to survive. Gradually, with so many deaths, he became apathetic, starting to see human life as simply disposable if he wanted to survive, being more and more cruel... After all, the "cowards" were never kind to him.
Again: I'm not saying that he didn't become bloodthirsty, precisely because he became apathetic, so he also became cruel. AFTER ALL, he was arrested after the war and we don't know exactly why... Well, f!Cell tells us a little about the reason. But at the beginning? As a headcanon, I imagine that when q!BBH adopted Dapper, for even a second, he remembered the little boy he protected in the arena. The hg!Cellbit had no name at the time, he was just one of the many children thrown into the arena to fight to the death, but luckily and for a short period of time, he learned what was to have affection and having someone care about him, that was BadBoyHalo. hg!Cellbit became apathetic when he was left alone, thinking that hg!Bbh, like everyone else, had discarded him. But in reality, years later, with a bittersweet feeling in his mouth, Bad, looking at Dapper, was still thinking about the crazy, goofy little boy he'd met in the arena, but who was probably dead and he didn't want the same thing to happen to Dapper...
Now, imagine their relief when they found each other again and realized that they were only separated by the war, but never forgotten by each other?
Do you guys think Legend, the only other person in the chain who’s (canonically?) aware of the Bible, saw Hyrule walk on water and just
😟
had a dream there was a tom wambsgans simulator and this was the only gameplay i remember
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
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
Bad: I remember holding him, and then there was a bright light, and then I felt warm
[Bad: I remember holding him, and then there was a bright light, and then I felt warm.
Bagi: Okay, so you should write that, "we need to find Dapper." Dapper was with you and now we just need to find him.
Bad: Yes! I need to find him.
Bagi: So just write that so you don't forget it. "We need to find Dapper."
Bad: [writing while he talks] Find Dapper, wake him up. Got it!
Bad: Oh! Yeah, he's sleeping right now.
Bagi: No.
Bad: I remember, I carried him!]
I just finished Minish Cap and I think it gives Four a kind of… uniquely angsty start to his adventure compared to the other child soldiers of the chain. (This is not saying his is more angsty, just uniquely so)
What I mean is that there’s kind of… the illusion of choice? (Maybe not the best way to describe what I mean) Like okay so: Wind didn't really have a choice, he had to rescue his sister. Who else would do that? His elderly grandmother? Legend didn’t have a choice either, if he didn’t go on his quest he would’ve been slain. Time had a chosen one thing going on. Then Hyrule… he was just given a sword and told to save the princess but like, he did it.
Four has a unique vibe to me compared to the rest of the chain because he was a very normal person. Or normal kid- let me explain 😭 a lot of members in the chain start as your average joe but a lot of them find out they’re special or they’re forced into the narrative. Four, however, is literally some kid who they tell to go to the picori for help and like- the whole time I was playing I was just like: I need an adult 😭
Like this is insane, I know there’s kind of one or two lines that kids can see picori but also there’s the whole thing with the gate to their world being open. They couldn’t’ve… like… sent an adult? In Minish cap there is just an abundance of capable adults around the entire time and they’re all riding your ass about saving Zelda and it’s like. I am 10 years old.
I think I just found this funny compared to every other Zelda game because it’s just like… Obviously Four would want to save his best friend but at the same time it’s just… they really chose the child out of any other candidate.
I just feel like maybe he’d have some bitterness after this quest like damn. These people kept seeing him come back into town. Injured. BEDRAGGLED. And all they have to say is hurry up??? 😭 I’d be PISSED.
I hope this makes sense. If I were Four this would keep me up at night.
