POV
ask game here if anyone still wants to send some in!
from the same wip as this snippet of mine, some sentimental revalink pining:
Link stared out at the horizon, acutely aware of Revali reclining on the stone wall next to him. When the wind blew just right, the primary feathers on Revali’s wing brushed slightly against his wrist. Link sat stiff; as long as neither of them acknowledged it, they could bask in this a little longer.
So of course, Revali had to break the silence. He never quite could sit with silence. “Link,” he started, an edge of…something tentative creeping in on his voice—
Link pulled his hand away. Lifted it up to brush a lock of hair behind his ear, trying to ignore the way his heart pounded. “It’s late,” he managed, and stood. Revali was watching him, a wide-eyed, cracked-open look on his face that made Link want to throw himself back down at Revali’s knees.
But he couldn’t. Whatever this was (Link knew what it was, what he wanted it to be), it couldn’t happen. Link had a role to play. A destiny to fulfill, a world to save, an existence laid out for him by the goddesses that didn’t include…any distractions.
Link swallowed. Revali was still looking at him, eyes locked on Link’s face in a way that almost seemed desperate. But all Link could force out was, “They’ll be serving dinner.”
At that, Revali huffed. A little of his usual sharp affect returned to his expression. “How just like you, to be preoccupied with dinner.” Yet the halting quality to his voice remained. Link felt guilty; but it wasn’t as if he had any other options. “Do you ever think about anything but food?”
Link was struck by the urge to laugh. If only Revali knew the half of it…
“Sometimes,” was all Link said, and watched the way the sunset seemed to set Revali’s dark feathers alight.

who are thseterius and bareleifdrjas?
anon you have zero idea what youve just unleashed. (this little parenthetical was writtten after everything else in this post but this is focusing on thesterius bc it just got SO LONG. barreleifdrias will have to wait </3)
ok so. hades video game 2018. you play as a dude named zagreus fighting to escape the ancient greek underworld but the point is that when you get to elysium, the two guys blocking your exit are theseus, the theseus of minotaur and ship and labors fame, only hes an annoying pro wrestling vibes egotistical blond (/derogatory /JOKE) dude, and the minotaur, the cannibalistic half man half bull monster in the labyrinth, only hes a chill honorable (hot) dude named asterius. and theyre best bros!!!! despite their meeting and the myth theyre most famous for being theseus killing the minotaur, asterius and theseus are now super best friends. theyre so unlikely but the respect for each other is clearly so deep. reason one why theyre compelling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
here they are btw. (via hades wiki)
and its like, theseus is so annoying that general fandom opinion is that hes the worst character in hades, in a “you love to hate him” playful way sometimes, or real hatred depending on which circles of the hades fandom you trawl, but hes Written to be disliked. even tho hes the hero of the original story, a hero among the ranks of like, heracles and that ilk. and meanwhile, everyone loves asterius bc hes such a bro, hes so chill and respectful and honorable, so many people think hes hot, people are like “dump theseus you could do so much better”, hes such a fan fave. even tho hes the monster of the original story, the villain!!! that role reversal is so so compelling!!!!!! hades didnt even change anything abt their backstories on paper but their personalities are what makes it a sort of roleswap. like theseus’ only redeeming quality is that he loves asterius so much, and asterius’ only real flaw is that hes so dedicated to theseus lmao
Tumblr media
(all these dialogue images via @/hadesgamedialogue here on tumblr)
and its especially cool in hades bc its like, asterius, the minotaur, the one that everyone in the hades fandom loves way more, is an actual person. the minotaur is half man of course. theres so much thats added to the story of theseus and the minotaur overall by making asterius a person. but so very few stories take advantage of it. hades game first opened my eyes to the potential of asterius being an awesome character and i love it so much for it.
and THEN through menu stuff you eventually find out how the minotaur got such a high standing in elysium despite being a monster, fighting side by side w his killer-turned-bestie, adored by a crowd of cheering fans that watches your every fight, and especially constantly talked up by theseus himself. and as it turns out!!!!! after asterius died, he actually ended up in erebus. no surprise there, why shouldnt a half-animal monster end up in tartarus 2 electric boogaloo. but then when theseus died, he thought of asterius, and decided that since "their fame and glory were intertwined" (according to the in-game codex), if theseus deserved elysium for being part of the legendary theseus and the minotaur myth, surely asterius did too.
can you fucking imagine??? youre famous for killing a monster, you had an epic one-on-one fight to the death, but then when you get eternal paradise for it can you imagine thinking "hey what happened to the monster. hey what if he was a person. hey what if he was a person i could have join me in literal ancient greek heaven." and the codex says theseus almost certainly risked his own spot in elysium for it — the guy writing the codex would know, he tried to get his own boyfriend into elysium but ended up having to stay in hell in his boyfriend's place. but no theseus literally just got asterius into elysium, kept his own place there, and now theyre basically gladiator celebrities living(ish) their best lives(ish). THE SHEER ROMANTICISM OF IT.
like i was saying before asterius has always been a monster, but now the man who killed him is also the man who first saw him as a person...... a person worthy of paradise, a person worth saving, a person who gave him a glorious fight for the ages, a person. circling back around the roleswap thing, like a comment on one thesterius fic i read puts it, the player hates theseus bc of his in-game annoyingness, but learns to see him as a person through asterius' eyes, through asterius' high esteem of theseus and theseus' decent treatment of asterius. and at the same time, asterius has always been seen as a beast, but it was only through theseus' eyes and esteem and asterius was able to see himself as anything more.
Tumblr media
AND THATS NOT EVEN ALL. this is all the backstory stuff, everything that takes place off-screen before the player even shows up. but zagreus (the player character) shows up and hes a polite guy so hes very nice to asterius bc asterius has been nothing but nice to him, even if they do have to fight often (bc asterius is both a miniboss on his own and the regional boss alongside theseus), its more like friendly and respectful sport than anything by the time they get to know each other. but theseus is constantly insulting zagreus bc of his own skewed sense of honor and dedication to the gods bc of theseus' own willful misunderstanding abt who zagreus is. that isnt super important but the point is, when theseus sees asterius, his bestie, being friends w zagreus, the guy he despises, guess what happens.
thats right. the "asterius is cheating on me 😭😭😭😭" arc. bc theseus is so sad and pathetic that he cant conceive of his bestie having any other friends. asterius Must be abandoning him to marry some other guy who is just so much nicer and cooler than him. and so theseus has a temper tantrum abt it. im bullying theseus rn bc hes a loser but also i dont like how relatable his feelings are during this arc.
if theseus sees asterius as a person worthy of love, then its also the same vice versa: asterius is the first person to see theseus as a real person Also Worth Love. hes not a monster, in fact hes a hero. he should be adored by all. and he does have his supporters in the arena! but do they like the real him? hes deeply annoying. he talks too much. hes desperately clingy to what friends he does have bc he just has so few of them. all of his relationships have ended Awfully, and it was his own fault for reacting so strongly and passionately to the things around him.
he and zagreus are actually kinda similar: theyre endlessly kind to people they deem worthy of it but also scathing to people they hate, theyre both accomplished warriors, theyre extremely stubborn (zag keeps trying to escape the underworld no matter how many times it takes, and theseus keeps meeting him and trying to stop him every time no matter how many times he loses), etc etc. but unlike theseus, zagreus is so charming and friendly. theseus tries so hard to be charismatic, but everyone flocks to be friends w zagreus after like a single conversation, and theseus only has asterius. so its very easy for this deeply insecure guy — no matter how he tries to cover it up by a massive ego and a constant barrage of insults toward zagreus — to believe that asterius might see zagreus as a way better version of him, and break up w theseus and go date zagreus instead. and zagreus does nothing to discourage this notion lmao. (honestly most hades players wouldnt have done anything to discourage this lmao. ive seen so many memes, such as this post, abt wanting asterius to just divorce theseus and "get himself a better man" and date zagreus already.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and honestly its like, as zagreus himself says in a different dialogue, theseus took asterius up to elysium yes, but like, theseus also killed asterius in the first place, so they should be even. but its not just abt that for asterius. its abt how during their fight in the labyrinth, asterius got to at least experience once during his life what it meant to meet someone as an equal. its abt how theseus was the first person who saw him as a real person, not a mindless bloodthirsty beast. its abt how theseus took asterius to elysium, yes, giving asterius the chance to spread his wings and figure himself out and truly live, in a way he never would have been able to in erebus. its how theseus gave asterius the chance to experience friendship and love. so asterius, of course, doesnt gay divorce. he says this.
Tumblr media
“he doesnt even understand it” and its literally so true. zag doesnt understand any of the things abt theseus and asterius being the only people to really understand each other and stay, despite everything repulsive abt the other, and be friends. i would bet the average player doesnt understand it either (see all the common hades fandom opinion “asterius dump theseus already”). but asterius understands it. he reminds theseus of this shared understanding. no matter what, no matter everything that should have come between them long ago, no matter anything that theseus fears might come between them now, asterius and theseus are a pair. its always theseus and the minotaur, their names together have gone down in legend. their theme song in hades is even called the king and the bull!!! bc theyre a matched set, theyre hero and villain, theyre inseparable, theyre gay.
also since theyre really just the regional bosses of zone 3 of hades (almost all of the contents of this essay are entirely missable), they get a cool new best friend battle move called the “counterstrike”, where asterius charges into theseus’ shield to create a shockwave, after they reconcile. to go along with their previously established bestie attack “bullhorn”, in which asterius picks theseus up and literally throws him at zagreus. theseus is such a dork he literally shouts “counterstrike!” and “bullhorn!” when they perform those moves like this is some kind of anime. gay wrath moments <3
tl;dr: thesterius is the ultimate ship of all time. thankyou

Last, please!
ask game here for anyone to send more in!
for my longer emotional miphvalink oneshot:
The moment the talus finally fell—long after Revali had wiped out the lizalfos, these vicious monsters were really on another level—Mipha turned toward him, her hands already outstretched.
“Sit down,” she said, and Revali thought it was a little morbid to remain here atop the talus’ crumbling corpse, but he obeyed her command anyway.

the ghost goodbye
send me the name of a wip and i'll post 3 sentences!
Link’s eyes dropped down to his beak, and then back up to meet Revali’s gaze. Revali’s stomach gave a little lurch. Their hands were almost brushing on the bedspread between them.

send me a 🌹 and i’ll post a random sentence of a random wip!
Maybe Link should have stayed that extra week or two, like Paya suggested, or even just a few more hours to avoid this pouring rain.

Rito Village was holding another archery competition today. There was no question about its final result: Revali was going to win it.

3 and 9 for the fic writers ask game
ask game here!
3. What’s a fic idea that you have but haven’t written yet?
ok ive technically started it but i havent gotten far at all, i posted its working title on here once “hi its revalink and welcome to mcdonalds” lmao (bc it was Supposed to be a joke and then. spiraled). BASICALLY the idea is that revali works at a restaurant as a delivery person. hes the fastest strongest flier in all rito village, so this restaurant lowkey has him as a selling point lol. and meanwhile revali is putting up w this bc he needs money, bc hes the champion who isnt royalty, he needs to like. eat and stuff. but, gasp!!, zelda and her scientist entourage and link show up on a really busy holiday, and link volunteers himself to cook at the restaurant revali works at, which revali is horrified and angry abt at first until revali realizes that theres more to link than it appears on the surface, not only is link a good cook but hes so considerate to revali throughout the day…… cue feelings. cue more feelings. cue vaguely romantic dinner as the two of them stew in their strange new camaraderie w each other <3
9. What’s your favorite line(s) or scene(s) that you have written?
its hard to choose a favorite but i really wanted to talk abt this line from carry us through winter. its just a tiny two sentences but i really liked what i put in here.
Tumblr media
i dont usually go for overly anthropomorphic language for anything that isnt actually human, but here i built up from “brushing through link’s hair” and then used the phrase “caressing link’s face”, which, “caressing” is kinda a really strong, affectionate, humanized word for it just being the wind. only for the next sentence to not have the wind lifting them into the sky, but revali. the wind and revali are one and the same in that sentence—and so also were in the previous sentence. aka its revali’s own personal touch caressing link’s face. gay people real <33

I saw your post about BMC and for some reason that reminded me of when an artist I liked defended book Michael and how because of that I liked him for a bit over musical Michael 🤮🤮🤮🤮 I have since then recovered from that awful take tho (sorry this is random I know ur not in the fandom anymore this just reminded me of that)
not to revive that little split in the fandom (i admit i unfollowed certain artists who defended book michael lol)musical michael > book michael Any day of the week imo, i mean book michael has a fetish for asian girls and musical michael is asian and gay, musical michael is just so much friendler and warmer, hes just a sweet guy whereas book michael is the kind of guy you wouldnt touch w a 10-foot pole. easy choice here

The whole “Michael flirting with Jeremy in tagalog” in a lot of those fics is… weird to me because it feels almost fetishistic especially when written by a white person
GENUINELY. this is exactly why it made me uncomfortable. like this is the language of my whole family and culture and these people are just making it fodder for their ship, and not even in a fun dramatic irony way, its not like im against characters speaking multiple languages, but its abt how they didnt even integrate it smoothly into the story/narration, they didnt make any effort to be accurate to the language Or culture, it was just a shittily-used plot device. like filipino heritage isnt just a toy you can play with to sprinkle atop boyf riends, filipinos are real people

Re: Minotaur Hotel Hinterlands, just in case you haven't tried it: if you play through it a second time, there are more details of the history of the Hinterlands to uncover through some extra locations.
ive played through just part 3 like id say MINIMUM 10 times, im actually sure that number is more, doing all the different routes and getting the different orders of completing different locations and dialogue for different locations depending on pedro and oscar’s friendship level 🤪 ive gotten all the hinterlands achievements too even the anthill piss one. my love for the hinterlands and pedro and oscar is at completely normal levels

The End
ask game here!
for my revalink rito mcdonalds not-anymore-joke fic:
Revali startled at the loud knock from Flight Range's hut. No reasonable person would be out in the middle of nowhere at this hour--and especially not during Arkqueath. He lowered his bow and crept back inside.
It was Link. Link, leaning just slightly against the side of the entranceway, a highly familiar cloth bag resting at his hip. Revali had half a mind to turn around and march back outside. To yell at Link and send him away, to release his tight hold on the burning sensation behind his eyes--instead Revali gritted out, "What are you doing here?"
He'd meant it to come out snappish, imperiously impatient. Instead the venom was undercut by Revali's exhaustion.
Link just looked at him. "This is no way to spend a holiday," he said.
Revali reached for some kind of sarcastic response. And who are you to judge, being here, maybe, or does it seem like I'm at all in the mood for celebration, or even you think I can't tell that it's miserable here? Obviously he didn't say any of those things. "That doesn't answer my question," is what he managed at last.
"Can I come in?" Link asked, ridiculously, as if he'd really make the long journey all the way back if Revali refused to let him in. He should have refused. He didn't refuse.
"Fine," Revali said, and as Link immediately moved inside, he followed and continued forcefully, "but answer me this time--why are you here?"
Link settled at the center of the hut, where Revali had already lit the fire earlier. For warmth, Revali assumed, what with Hylians' lack of feathers--until Link started to unpack his bag.
"I brought food," Link said, and sure enough, he pulled out a few paper boxes, opening them up: he had hearty salmon sushi, a whole roasted white pigeon, even two slices of nutcake. "It's a little cold by now. I'd've just cooked it here if I knew you had a pot. But it's good that I can heat it up."
Revali didn't know what to do. He was just standing here, bow still in his hand, watching Link carefully maneuver the whole pigeon in the pot.
"I don't understand," said Revali. He hated the way his voice threatened to shake. "You...brought this for me?"
"You said this was a big holiday," said Link, calm as ever. But not the stony kind of collectedness Revali was used to. Instead, Link looked...unguarded. "About spending time with people you care about."
Wordless, Revali nodded. And Link left it there. He fiddled with the pigeon again, preventing the meat from burning. Eventually, Revali found it in himself to unstick his tongue.
"I don't have a boat, you know," he said. Link looked at him. "For the sushi," Revali went on, refusing to be cowed. "This being a training ground and all."
"Oh." Link turned back to the pigeon. "That's okay. We can just get on that next year."
Next year, Revali thought, a little wonderingly despite himself. We're doing this again next year?
Somehow, Revali didn't think spending another Arkqueath with Link would be so bad at all.

BEFORE THE BEGINNING
ask game here if anyone else wants to send any!
for my partway outlined revived champions au:
Sidon had only ever dared peer into Vah Ruta once. It'd been just after the Calamity, his sister's tomb looming over the Domain, her absence casting a shadow that darkened the very skies. Sidon was being watched like he'd never been watched before--like everyone was afraid Sidon would up and disappear too--but he'd managed to sneak up to the East Reservoir, to lay eyes on the beast that had swallowed his sister whole.
The undulating, violet, goopy mass at the center of Vah Ruta frightened Sidon worse than any monster he'd seen before, or since. What frightened him most was the hint of pink scales peeking out beneath the malice.
