People worrying if their fic is too self indulgent like....... that is the point of fanfiction. You are supposed to indulge . Every fic is self indulgent
One thing I want to point out about nimona is that it captures tenderness in such a visceral way that I haven’t really seen in 3D animation before? Like the way the characters curl into each other and melt makes me go INSANE
// very vague/mild crisis at hyrule castle spoilers, directly after completing regional phenomena
the part where you have to fight a boss and the sages come in person to defend you is really cool and all and im pretty sure the "canonical explanation" for how they all showed up in link's time of most need is that the secret stones signal them when link is in trouble yada yada and the sages are summoned and whatnot. but. i have a funnier proposal:
the secret stones are basically zoom call cameras. the sages can all see the shenanigans link are up to and can communicate with each other, but link has no idea that they can see him. so while he's off doing stupid shit and dying to the dumbest things all the sages are just watching the legendary hero who dispels darkness trip over his feet after trying to shield surf with butter.
yunobo watching link fall to his knees after realizing you can only bring one rock roast to bedrock bistro at a time, riju watching link try to lure a molduga with a time bomb but setting it off on himself, tulin watching link accidentally dive straight into the ground after forgetting to pull out the paraglider, sidon watching link drowning because he thought he could catch all the fish etc
sidon asks the gang if they should just tell link that he should probably undeafen himself. everyone else agrees that it's just funnier to leave him in the dark so they can keep watching the soap opera that is link's shenanigans in hyrule
Idk I just feel like Link and Riju are bffs. Their vibes remind me of that ace/bi solidarity post where its like ‘thinking ur bi because you like all genders equally 🤝 thinking ur bi because you dislike all genders equally’. They even do the handshake.
btw it's fantasy, you really don't need to worry about your world map making "sense" geologically or whatever. make that river flow backwards from the sea into the mountain.
