Ikutsuki just brought us a literal child what the fuck. He's moving into our dorm what the FUCK THIS IS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILD
Like I knew this was going to happen because I've been spoiled for like.. half the game maybe? But I DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO JUST,, BRING A LITERAL CHILD TO SCHOOL AND SAY "oh yeah he exists now, this is all of y'all's problem I'm not going to be taking care of him"
Ikutsuki is supposed to be the adult man we're a bunch of high school child soldiers I've suspended my disbelief so far but Ken Amada is where I'm drawing the line
Ayo just to clarify, if you think I'm "sexy" or "hot" or smth please get off my blog, I do not want to deal with creeps. I post pics for artists to use as reference images, but I am still a human and I will not be objectified. Politely fuck all the way off ♥️
Also today's ref, I needed something with pockets
Bird. My man *loves* corvids, not necessarily for like a pet because honestly I don't think he could really deal with a pet but still! If he did get to a point where he could healthily care for a pet I think it would be some kind of bird. Maybe before Morgana he would've been a cat person but after? Screw both cats and dogs the only things that understand me are the crows.
this is important. do we think goro akechi is more of a cat or dog person... or something else entirely
Extra notes on TOTK about things I don't quite like and I need to fix because that game has wonderful ideas and mechanics but the story just needed an extra pass or 2.
The sages, WHO WERE THEY? Like, I genuinely cannot understand what each one was supposed to be going for. They have 0 character, at all. And every time we see their cutscene it's just Zelda saying the same thing four times. We know Zelda, Rauru, & Mineru (though Mineru is kinda bland, like we see more of them but what we see is all just plot moving forward. Mineru feels a bit more like a prop than a character is what I'm saying.) The 4 sages for each region? I can guess nothing about them.
So, I want to make one small change. Instead of each cutscene being when Zelda asks for help, it's a moment of Zelda and the Sage, like, bonding. Doing something together as Sages. Maybe Zelda would put together something of a paraglider and go scouting with the rito sage. Maybe she would mess with Zonai tech and blow stuff up with the goron sage. And if seeing Zelda directly ask for help is so important, they could show it at the end. Otherwise the message at the end would be, "I wanted to help save her time, but now I cannot do that. So please accept my secret stone and save Hyrule in my stead."
Just a little, tiny mention of why Sheikah tech isn't around (and perhaps a junkyard of it) would be very nice. I would say the shrines and towers probably sunk back into the ground once the champion beat calamity Ganon, since they no longer served a purpose. The guardians were all demolished, too many painful memories for Hyrule to move forward with them still around. The Sheikah slate was reconfigured into the purah pad. Basically, don't remove a core piece of the world you established in the last game without some explanation.
Fix up the weird scrambled timeline of the fake puppet Zelda. Like, we know from the dragon's tears that this isn't Zelda, so just edit NPC dialogue after the last dragon tear. They're still chasing after this puppet Zelda cause guess what, it's actively hurting people! So they gotta stop it.
Lastly, bring back gerudo vai set I will not REST until that set has RETURNED sure we have frostbite armor but COME ON it was in the previous game it would not be that hard.
Everyone's gotta look at this it's gorgeous
Off at shore, new land awaits.
I wrote a fic about the fierce deity! I enjoy his character in a lot of other fics, so I figured it'd be fun to try writing him myself. I'm not all that experienced a writer, at least not with fiction, so constructive criticism is very appreciated! Just like,, don't be mean I'm still learning.
Y'all my brother snatched my phone out of my hand earlier during the SINGLE, SOLITARY TIME I was writing a Ryomina kiss- not even anything spicy, just a kiss, and he was like "nope" and gave me my phone back. I was both mortified and annoyed because he said Ryoji's name was a typo because apparently he doesn't know anything about persona 3. I made this to cope.
Y'all it was literally the first time I ever wrote two characters just kissing, how was that when he decided to read my work for the first time????
Ryoji Mochizuki palace where it's not Tartarus but actually a Cathedral.
Everywhere you look, it's dedicated to the Great Seal. Stained glass windows made in their image line the walls, statues carved into a familiar teenager hung by chains. Their story is depicted like a religious text, with Ryoji himself as the devil. There to trick the seal into pursuing the full moon shadows, to lie his way into being the seal's friend, to tempt the Great Seal away from delivering salvation to the world. It does not matter that Ryoji was missing his memories, that he was doing whatever he could to help his dearest friend, he was always a monster. One that was unworthy of the Seal's forgiveness, of their mercy.
Ryoji's shadow can always be found crying in front of a depiction of the Great Seal. He begs for someone to please take their revenge, to punish him for what he's done, it's all his fault, he killed the Great Seal, they would still be alive if not for him. He cannot let you take his treasure, he cannot let you take away his guilt. When you fight Ryoji, he appears as a grotesque replica of the Nyx Avatar. There is no more elegance, no more ethereal beauty to be found in Nyx's Appraiser, he is simply a monster.
Ryoji's treasure is the protagonist's evoker. A representation of how they fought to save the world, and how they accepted death to do so. Ryoji could not accept that death, so he clung to it. He clung to their memory instead of facing them himself, because he felt too much guilt.
Name: Ryoji Mochizuki
Location: Gekkoukan High School's rooftop
Distortion: Cathedral of Grief
I need more people to write Aigis and Ryoji as friends, post-game or in some canon divergence au. They are made to be opposing forces, to clash for the fate of the world, but the purpose designated for them by their creators is not the purpose they chose to follow. They become friends in both because and in spite of what they are, because who would better understand their struggles? Neither is truly human, but they are both people. People who doubt their own humanity. They validate each other's struggles in a way no one else could, before affirming that yes, you are a person, you worked so very hard to be a person and I recognize that struggle and say that it is ok if you don't understand all the nuances of humanity right away, I won't judge you, because I am the exact same way.
Yes, Aigis initially saw Ryoji as dangerous, and he was, but I want them to grow past that. I want them to be able to look back at their first clash and think about how much they've grown since then. I want them to tell each other that the fact that they feel remorse for the lives lost is a clear sign of their newfound empathy for others, and that yes it's difficult, grappling with those feelings, but they should face them head on for the sake of those lost lives. I want them to come to see the other as one of their closest friends, the one they can turn to whenever they need.
Aigis and Ryoji should be friends, because they chose to be more than the enemies they were when they first met.
Ok I look at a lot of Link AUs, and a lot of people like to make all the different links have very different looks. So for me, because he's my favorite link in my favorite game, here's sky.
I love him so much I would kill for him you are not allowed to dislike Skyward sword in my presence when there is this amazing lil guy in it
Panel redraw for funsies! Still not great with human anatomy, but I love these lads too much
