Reader, wiggling furry wolfie’s face while giggling: “You have a smoothhh brain! No ridges or lumps or valley or bumps. All Ideas slide right off, like a water slide! Smoooothh brain, smooothhh”

Cut to Time, Four and Wild desperately trying not to burst out laughing while the wolf stares up at reader, very displeased.

Some Cryptid Sketches that I did really quick.

May or may not be plot relevant.

Featured: Sky, Four, Hyrule (but it’s cheating since he’s in his fairy form), Legend, Ravio, Time, and Wars (in his “Hylian” disguise).

As always, feel free to ask questions haha!

This isn't inherently related to last night's episode, but it did feel very present even in absence and I was reminded of it, so:

I talked about this a while ago here, but Caleb and Essek actually communicate astoundingly well, once they are willing to approach each other without imposing their own fears upon them—either because Essek is afraid of being found out or because Caleb is afraid that Essek is too much like himself to be trusted. It's simply that they talk in such a way amongst themselves in particular that those around them (and, frankly, fandom) do not parse it as clear communication, but every time they have any significant engagement after the Nein come back to the outpost, they seem to proceed with the air of having reached an understanding.

And I've talked about that, and you can read the post linked above, but the thought I had about it that I haven't really discussed is that it is a PHENOMENAL choice for playing two assholes at or over 20 Intelligence in a relationship.

They're talking in circles and sounding enigmatic! They're dancing this strange dance about who reaches out when and on what terms! But the thing is, as bewildering as that may seem from the outside, they both give the impression that they understand the other implicitly, because they're operating on very similar wavelengths.

That is their communication. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a level to which that's intentional—what is between them stays between them. Likewise, it felt last night like Caleb did not necessarily want to make whatever their arrangement is known to the rest of the Nein, and that is part of it; they understand each other, and they're comfortable with their relationship at whatever pace and stage they're at, and letting other people know about it or be party to their discussions would allow a level of external scrutiny that they have no interest in.

It's just a really fun choice on a meta level, and it's what makes them insufferable to write, and I absolutely love them for it.

What are your thoughts on fable x legend/ legend x Ravio?

Nothing wrong with Fable/Legend. I personally adore the sibling headcanon and prefer that over the ship, but i can see the appeal.

Love me some good ol' Ravioli. Though i draw LU Ravio and Legend with platonic intent, but people are free to view it as they wish.

Not saying Sins are something you can just have( possess), but imagine if they got cursed or some other shit. Like . Damn . I’m gonna take an obvious example : the fierce deity . I saw somewhere something were the majority of people agreed that the fierce deity is like that super nice dad . Which . Sure. But what if time gets cursed or they meet the first hero or something like that . Boom . We got ourselves an angry old man . Pray for the chain that nobody accidentally turns of the tv

[allthegoodusernamesaretakenagain]

Ok just a question because I was rereading the last chapter (Quentin's brain is boiling, man oh no, bare arms, such danger xD) and I realised that Link has said:

“Reading your notes, they’re interesting. What does that say?” 

And I wonder which situation that is:

Link know how to read but Quentin's chicken scratches are so bad he has a problem with it

Link doesn't know how to read well so the word for Winterwing is a new one and he isn't sure if he read it correctly

He was able to read the words perfectly well but wanted to make Quentin talk

????

Hahaha, I love the thing you guys notice, it makes me so happy.

Link can read. It's number three. He wanted a reason to talk to Quentin and a reason for Quentin to talk. He wanted Quentin to talk about something he was passionate about.

Quentin's elixir work is also one of the first things that got them talking, and Link sees it as safe territory.

I loved how many of you commented on this chapter that Link is the definition of 'No thoughts, head empty' because it made me laugh and it's so true.

Author's commentary for latest chapter???🥺🥺🥺 I am very invested

Of course!

(I really need to start writing these in advance lol)

I talked previously how this chapter was an overall Pain In My Ass to write. Now that the chapter is out, you can now better see why. This chapter establishes how both the past and the present are going to have completely different tensions than what they have had previously. It was vital that I sold the reader on the new narrative tensions, and that task turned out to be more daunting than I thought.

A big issue for me was feeling like I could write something that could live up to the hype. Don't get me wrong-- I love that you guys are all really excited for new chapters and there is no way I would have even made it this far without your support. But I did start to freak out and believe that nothing I could write could live up to hype.

In the end, I ended up powering through it. I'm feeling better now that the chapter is done and (surprise) I didn't die. But it was a little rough for a while there.

All that being said, can you believe I spent the more time on the past than I did on the present? It's such a short part of the chapter, but I got really overwhelmed with making sure that I nailed this last moment between Link and the engineer, plus Lincoln's lecture.

Normally, when I get stuck, I would have switched over to the other plot line, but I was convinced I needed to write the past first so that I had the full context for Spirit and Warriors during their scenes in the present day. If I had admitted defeat at any time, this chapter probably would have been done like 3 weeks earlier.

Lincoln is the undisputed MVP of this chapter. He finally came in and did what I said he would do like 10 chapters ago. And he finally got to yell at Warriors too. King shit.

Remember how I said that I originally intended for Lincoln to be an atheist? You can see some of the remains of that idea in how he talks about Farore.

Originally, I wanted Spirit to have no dialogue during the past. That way, the tension to finally hear Spirit talk to Warriors again in the present would start building up in the past. I ended up abandoning this idea for the sake of that tiny moment where Spirit initially refuses to go with Lincoln.

I almost included Orlanda as a member of Lincoln's rescue squad, but cut her for the sake of realism; only Gaudin was necessary and she would probably be better needed on the front lines

I almost ended this chapter with a line that would mirror the opener for the present day plot ("The engineer was gone, and Link swore he would get him back" vs "Spirit was here, and Warriors thought he would throw up") but as cool as that would have been, I wanted to emphasize to the reader what the past was going to be about now that both the engineer and the child were gone: Link alone and spiraling.

With that said, on to the present day:

Shout out to my lack of desire to work the actual job I am paid to do-- many scenes in the present day were written when I was at work, with Warriors's confession to the rest of the gang being the key one. I actually wrote that as a script, which I might share some day

Speaking of which, I initially didn't plan to write out Warriors's exact speech. I was going to say that Warriors "told them everything" and then fade to black. I realized that was stupid when I remembered how important it's going to be later to realize that there are a lot of things Warriors left out.

Was the solution for the coded documents satisfying or extremely stupid? I don't even know, man. I think it was very clever of me, but I am also so, SO dense.

The documents and the Nephus world-building was going to be solved way earlier in the story (like, back at the citadel) but I kept pushing off the scene in favor of other stuff. This was the very last chance I had to cover this stuff before it became absolutely necessary info. Good job, me!

I mean, doing this now also 100% killed the pacing of the chapter, but what can I girl do?

God, okay. We got to talk Spirit and Time now.

We've only scratched the surface of Spirit's whole deal. Issues-With-A-Captial-I, like I said. So I'll refrain from talking too depth about him for now.

I will say that when I was trying to figure out what to do with older Spirit, the word I kept coming back to was "unpleasant." I really liked the idea of him going from this caring and sweet kid to just being unpleasant to be around. He's not necessarily a bad person, but you might not want to get coffee with him.

You might recall a little snippet I wrote a year ago where I accidentally tested out an older Spirit concept. You can see that even back then he was going to have a smoking vice.

Speaking of which, Spirit striking his match on the ceiling of his train has a silly origin. A while back I watched "The Quiet Man," which stars John Wayne. I can't recommend either movie or actor, but I was enthralled with the way Wayne's character would strike the matches for his cigarettes on anything around him: from the ceiling of his home to the bottoms of his boots. After watching it, I immediately knew that I was going to give Spirit that habit.

Spirit wears a turtleneck under his jumpsuit because every time I see the open chest on the canon design, I cringe at the OSHA violation.

Okay, let's talk Time.

I joked in the author's note that Time's relationship with Spirit was a reflection of my mommy issues. From the start, I wanted TIme to embody the role of a child who's source of suffering is their parent's suffering and the complicated emotions that arise from that.

How do I put this? You can sit there and look at all the facts about your mother. You can lay out her history and understand where she was coming from, how every reaction was a response to a trauma that far surpasses you. Every bad moment was never about you. So you sit there and say that you can forgive your mother as a person. But at the same time... she's not a person. She's your mother. And she failed you.

So yeah. Apply all that to a 30 year old man lol.

I tried my best to make it clear that Time didn't hate either Spirit or Warriors from the start, but either I wasn't clear enough or readers didn't acknowledge what Time was saying.

For example, in chapter 10 when Warriors confronts Time about knowing everything, Time said that he "couldn't hate" Warriors. A lot of readers took that as Time choosing to work with Warriors out of necessity. I meant for it to show that Time's feelings were more complicated than just black-and-white forgiveness and hate.

(I also purposefully wrote that "I can't hate you" line two years ago with the intention of it being echoed again during this argument. Nice to finally get that one off the plate).

Speaking of which, I remember getting a few readers saying how cute it was that the child was trying to take care of Link and the engineer in the past; and I was sitting there like "oh my god no. a child taking care of his parental figures is a source of trauma. don't say something you'll regret i beg you."

Back on topic-- I won't blame anyone if they think this revelation about Time came out of left field. There was more that I could have done to make his view a bit clearer before this chapter, but I also won't lie and say that I didn't intend to keep Time's specific views a little fuzzy before this moment.

That being said, I think some readers assumed that Time's view of the whole situation would be more objective. Which, no. He was a child back then. There is no way in hell he would be anywhere close to objective on what happened.

We'll dig deeper in Time as the story goes, but in conclusion, if you think this wasn't done well, you're probably right.

Also, I think it's worth mentioning that my plan on a thematic level was to get the reader comfortable with how they think about Warriors on a moral level at this point so that introducing Spirit and Time's problems can re-complicate and challenge your ideas.

I'll talk more about this later when we get more in Spirit's side of things, but generally whether you are pro- or anti-Warriors, how Time and Spirit dealt with what happened is meant to make any reader searching for an absolute answer to the moral questions very, VERY frustrated

(Whether I can pull that off as a writer is a different matter entirely, though)

Fun fact: I originally wanted Warriors to play a bigger role in the argument so that it would be a three way Spirit vs TIme vs Warriors fight. Then I realized that Warriors wouldn't say anything if it seemed like it would help force Spirit out.

There were a lot of tiny moments I wanted to do with Spirit being introduced to the rest of the Chain that involved his sensing shenanigans that I cut for space; rest assured that they will still happen.

God, I don't even know what to say about that ending scene without spoiling something. Let's just say that Spirit and Warriors are going to get soooooooooooo [redacted]

Headcannon for my speed run Wild au. One of his favorite foods is mushrooms with fish. Not fish with mushrooms, there wasn’t time for that. But you get enough mushrooms in one go that managing one fish to add to it and it becomes enough food to tide you over.

It’s also the only dish he knows how to make when he first meets everyone but no one asks if he can cook because he can’t even say for sure if his name is Link(was to busy sprinting to the castle to catch that bit of conversation the first go round). When he finally gets the chance to prove he’s not just the amnesiac guy who knows nothing about anything it’s the first thing he makes for them. Seeing as none of the others can cook trail food at all they are all a little in awe.

Thus begins the cooking adventures.

#no joke just wrote a whole scene where Wild breaks down over mushrooms that I had to cut for later #cause we can’t be sad on main in the second chapter of what is essentially a crack fic I’m taking way to seriously #linked universe #linkeduniverse #ani has thoughts #about speed run wild and the ramifications of being good enough to beat Gannon #but head empty no thoughts while being surrounded by the heros of yore #who in Wild’s eyes are clearly more qualified to be called heros #linked universe wild #lu wild #speedrun at your own risk #also mushrooms as your first memory and needing to share that #but nobody is clueing in #speed run wild au

Return of this thought process, actually wrote this when I posted this headcanon but hated and had to ignore it. I think I fixed it? but anyways just, here's some stupid fluff

"Shh..Link, just sit still for a moment.." 

The voice whispering to him is soothing, reminding him of old forests and ancient wisdom. He can remember wiggling around, thin but strong arms wrapped around him where he's perched in someone's lap. He can't quite recall a face, but he does recall the weathered and calloused hand that raises into his vision. Wrinkled with age spots, but steady. 

"They're timid…but if you give them respect they'll care for you all the same.." 

The old voice whispers softly as Link watches a fairy, wrapped in a rosy glow, flutter over and rest on the aged hand before him. Eyes wide with wonder as he watches every twitch of the wings. Despite all the excitement welling up inside of him, for once he's perfectly still. 

"Hold out your hands little pup.." 

He complies with out question, holding as still as possible as the fairy makes the small little jump from the withered finger into his tiny palms. A grin spreading across his lips as he listens to the quiet laughter that chimes like bells in his ears. 

"Nature has blessed you little one….you call to it like a wolf calls to the moon..be gentle with it, respect it. And you'll always find safety somewhere within…" 

More soft little bells fill his head as everything starts to fade away. The hum of the old voice, the warmth of the arms wrapped around him. All that stays is the chirping of birds, the soft laughter of fairies, and that soft rose colored glow. 

'Click' 

A different kind of giggling reaches his ears along with hushed whispers. 

"Shh..shh you'll wake him up!" Wind manages to whisper through an audible smile. 

"I can't help it! Look at him he's so adorable." Wild giggles back. 

Hyrule chimes in with an almost giddy tone, the soft music of his voice happy and adoring. "I told you they liked him! You all thought I was kidding.". 

"Well duh they like all of us!" Legend adds quietly. 

Twilight opens his eyes just a sliver. Ever so slightly blinking the sleep away as he peers through his eyelashes. He's on the ground, grass making it hard to open one of his eyes. He can see Wild crouched not to far from him with Wind and Hyrule peering over his shoulders at the Sheika slate. 

"I thought you were the only one the fairies liked." Wars says off somewhere behind him. 

"Oh no…they're also quite fond of Hyrule..but they've always been fond of our ranch hand here as well." 

Times' voice is close as he hears their leader crouch down behind him. A bit of a ruffling feeling flitting around in his hair along with those lovely bells. He feels a very small weight that he didn't even know was there leaving his head, alerting him to there being multiple of them each one hardly weighing more than a pumpkin seed or two. 

"I wonder if the minish like him too!" Four wonders with an audible grin as he hops over to stand by Wind.

"Minish?" Wind asks. 

"Picori! Uh, the little feather tailed mouse fae I showed you?" Four remind. 

"Oh! That's right, I bet they do!" Wind grins. 

Time gives a soft chuckle as he lightly runs the tips of his fingers through Twilight's hair. Whispering quietly so the others won't hear. "Be careful getting up pup, you've got company." 

The ordonian finally opens his eyes more so he can get a better look at what's going on. A rosy glittering light surrounding him like halo. It isn't until he spots a sleeping fairy curled up in the palm of his hand that he realizes what's going on. Turning his head slowly and listening to a chorus of bells chiming in protest. One of the disgruntled little balls of light fluttering and landing on the tip of his nose, a couple hanging on his ears as they twitch from the music and some still nestled in his hair. 

He can just barely make up the delicate features of the fairy perched on his nose. A sleepy smile crossing  his lips just in time to hear another 'click' from Wild's slate, but he doesn't comment. Nor does he comment on the other clicks he hears as he very slowly sits up. Finding that almost all of him is covered in fairies both sleeping and awake. The awake ones fluttering around and settling in his hair and his pelt while he carefully scoops up the few that are still sleeping so they won't roll or fall off. 

When he looks to Time who's still sat beside him he finds the old man with a few fairies dancing around him as well. One of them even braiding very small flowers into a few strands of his hair. 

"You never woke any of us up we got worried, but there were fairies flitting around the camp and they led us here." Time says with a soft smile. As he nods to the little fairy pond. 

When twilight looks over to the lightly rippling water, watching the sweet playful dancing of the fairies. His memory of the night before comes back to him. 

"There's a great fairy here…we were talking and, goddess, I don't even remember falling asleep…" Twilight murmurs softly. 

Hyrule looks over to him with a big smile, his hands now holding a couple chattering fairies. "According to them you looked so tired that they took your job, decided you needed the sleep too and they would wake us if there was any danger." 

"Riiight, like we'd wake up to anything but shouting." Legend chuckles.

"They know we've been helping clear the blight from the forest…they'd protect us.." Twilight can't help the smile that crosses him as he looks to the fairies in his lap. That hazy dream playing in his mind. "Be gentle and respect nature, and you'll find safety within…." 

He doesn't notice how the old man's eye widen slightly. "Oh? Where'd you hear that?" 

Twilight carefully brings his hand up, just in time for a fairy to flutter close and land on his finger. "...just a dream..or maybe a distant memory.."
