#finally had a chance to do this

[elitadream]

What if this was Luigi's fight all along?

#Alternatively: what if Luigi finally snapped? #And what if he had the chance to save and protect Mario? #He would take it in a heartbeat. Danger and anxiety be damned. #There's nothing he wouldn't do for his big brother #Including facing his single greatest fear #And Mario knows this #bless them both #Also when I said I was going to bring my Bowser back as himself... This was the piece I was talking about! #I've had this scene in mind for a whole year omg #But could never seem to find a good opportunity to finish it #The recent talk about Luigi for the body swap concept was just what I needed #And now I finally get to share it with you all! #Luigi #Bowser #Mario #Fire Flower #power-up #angst #drama #fight #family #bravery #heroism #Super Mario Bros #fanart

do you have any thoughts on zelda not staying as a dragon? me personally I like it and am very cool with it mostly because I think zelda should get to be happy forever (and because I'm smart enough to know she changed back because of recall and not some ambiguous power of love lmao) but a lot of people seem to dislike that it made the draconification inconsequential?

i think there's like. some valid concerns surrounding inconsequentiality/"curing" the physical problems characters have as a way of giving them a "happy ending" but I think those concerns don't necessarily apply to totk in the way people seem to be applying them, especially irt zelda's draconification and link's arm.

most of the time when the criticism of this "magic cure" trope is applied to media, it's because the trope is used as a cure-all to erase a character's suffering or trauma and make them "normal" again, and often ignores the character development or themes of the story in favor of giving the character a happy ending. I don't think that applies to totk, though, because the "curing" link and zelda experience is both within the realm of possibility given the worldbuilding present in the game (recall could easily have done it, as you mentioned) AND thematically consistent with the rest of the game. One of if not the most important central themes of totk is the idea of failure and second chances. we see a hyrule that has been given a second chance after link's initial failure with the calamity brought it to the brink of destruction. we see characters who were deeply unhappy and entrenched in the shame of their precalamity mistakes like purah and zelda become active, beloved members of their communities. we see the people of lurelin village take back and rebuild their destroyed home. we watch this kingdom and its people make an unprecedented comeback after a century of struggle and ruin.

Similarly, totk's gameplay is LINK's second chance, his comeback from the initial mistake of losing zelda, of specifically being unable to reach her with his injured hand when they fell. The consequences of that--the master sword's corruption, the loss of his arm, and zelda's draconification, are all supposed to SEEM irreversible, because that's how LINK initially sees them. he believes that he doomed both himself and zelda all because of that SINGLE moment in which he wasn't enough, a viewpoint which is obviously left over from the pressure he experienced to perform to an impossible standard of perfection pre-calamity. The story of totk is about deconstructing that belief and proving it wrong. the mistake he made caused harm, but it's never too late to repair things. he can fix the regional phenomena ganondorf causes and rebuild those communities. he can revitalize the master sword. he can GET ZELDA BACK, with his own arm, uninjured and able to reach her this time. no matter how impossible those things may initially seem, no matter the perceived finality of his mistakes and their consequences, there is always hope. there is always a second chance. no one person's single mistake can doom an entire kingdom for eternity. the fate of hyrule was NEVER resting on link's shoulders alone. he was never their final hope. there was always going to be an after. the whole POINT of the draconification and the loss of link's arm is that they AREN'T final. they ARE inconsequential, because they were born of one mistake and ONE MISTAKE IS NOT THE END ALL.

#like. think about the message the game sends if zelda stays a dragon. we are saying that link CAN'T come back from this mistake. #that one single split-second moment in which he made the wrong move because he had no way of knowing what to do #means that the one person who understands and supports him above all else. the one person who shares his experience and his trauma #the woman he LOVES. is gone forever with no hope of return ever and it's 100% his fault. #that's not true to the themes of botw OR totk. these games are about growth and healing and second chances. #this game was link learning that he gets a second chance. that no move he makes is the final be-all-end-all fuckup. #it removes the pressure and that's the POINT. for a character like link whose life has been DEFINED by pressure #who was taught from a horrifically young age that any wrong move on his part would KILL EVERYONE HE KNEW AND LOVED #this is such an important lesson to learn. removing that pressure/showing him that it was never actually real in the first place #is a crucial step towards healing for him. #asks #zelda analysis #totk spoilers #like i like the idea of lasting consequences dont get me wrong. <draconic features zelda enjoyer #but like. making link keep the fucking rauru arm rubs me the wrong way. the whole point is that he caught her with his own hand in the end #ugh. anyway. you get the idea

[ID: A screencap of a Dungeon Meshi episode featuring Laios' face. His expression is quite smug.

The subtitles read: But we did eat Living Armor. /End ID]

He's so damn smug about it. He knows his sister would find it cool as heck and be a lil jealous.

(I do love how smug Laios gets when he thinks he did something cool.)

#nix meows #dungeon meshi #laios touden #also like Laios had been discussing eating monster with Falin for years b4 circumstances granted him the chance to do it #he knows exactly how impressive it would be to Falin that he finally got to do it

I've been bustin' booty on commissions which is so satisfying but I've been having this desire to draw child Neytiri since drawing Tuk, cuz I have this theory that Neytiri looked identical to her daughter as a child. Also I love the idea of tiny warrior Neytiri living in her older sisters shadow and it makes me think of Lo'ak and maybe that's what he and his mom have in common they both grew up the second born to the eldest to be leader of the clan. BUT ALSO CHILD NEYTIRI WAS JUST LIKE TUK A TINY RAY OF SUNSHINE AND HOPE UNTIL THE PASTY UGLY ASS SKY PROPLE SHOWED UP AND SHAT ON EVERYTHING. ALSO both lost their siblings to gunshot wounds. (Actually Jake did too, but seeing how Neytiri and Lo'ak didnt seem to have much else in common or to, pardon me, bond over, im curious if that shared experience of loosing an older sibling to sky people with connect them more)Idk thought rant.

But for real James GIVE THE WOMAN A BREAK like I would not blame her if she completely cracked the next movie and went of a hard-core killing spree I mean she sorta did but I mean MEGA Rambo killing spree. I'd sit back be like

#avatar way of water #neytiri #tuktirey #avatar fanart #avatar #if the final movie isnt earth getting nuked abd we get some hard no more human ob ill riot. #humans had their chance f em #but also like i love all these movie about environmentalism and yet our leaders still do jack all like at this point we just predicting

Ello Deltarune fandom. Guess what ship has gotten my brainrot now 2 1/2 years later. :P Because ofc I go from one f/f ship to another and cling onto it. But fr tho I love these sapphics sm. I love them so muuuuuch I'm so glad they are semi-canon just 2 chapters in.

Been wanting to draw something with them since February, but because of art block back then I decided to just let my pen go on its own since I had art block and ended up with a rough of this and hallelujah lol ^^

Seriously Toby please. Take your time ofc no rush. But please I NEED to see them together again.

Also I love Noelle's glow-y nose hc so that's mine now too thanks fandom.

i was replaying security breach again while my cousins were around, when the instruction card popped up about the stamina meter I jokingly said:

“damn this kid has asthma”

my cousins though i was being serious, but tbh it would be some interesting he to put on him for me…

i wrote it all in tags oh boy..😭

#just an average kid who is forced to exceed his limits of stamina or else he will die #he definitely would use hiding in freddy a lot #when freddy is low on power he would try his best to not get caught in bad situations #fazerblast and faz cade almost exceeded him to his limit #especially during faz cade he definitely had to sit in the security room for a good few minutes to recover his breath and the continue on #after security breach he finally was able to get an inhaler and not worry about dying #he loves sports liek crazy but can’t do much because of having asthma and he brings himself down a lot bed of it #but he still tried his best with some sports when he has the chance :)) #vanessa just gets big protective sis/mom mode and worries for him a lot but he’s just a stubborn kid.. #anyways enough of that WOOHOO #fnaf #fnaf security breach #fnaf gregory #txt post #headcanon

Hello! I Just wanted to let you know that I LOVED the published ver. of "Don't Shoot the Messenger". And I was so excited to hear that Dale and Sana's story might get published too.

At first I was really unsure about getting the book, as I didn't want to be disappointed if the changes made didn't translate well compared to the original. BUT YOU KNOCKED MY EXPECTATIONS RIGHT OUT OF THE WATER!! IT WAS SO GOOD!!

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I'm so excited for your future projects. And I wish you luck on your future publishing endeavours because I will be buying all future published books by you. And no one can stop me haha >:D

I also wanted to ask if there's a chance that any of your other previous works will also be published? Of course it's a huge effort of time and resources to publish something. But I do hold out hope that I might one day hold Heshi's story in my hands because truthfully it's such a comfort to me and I go back to it periodically to reread. I love that snakey boi. NO PRESSURE THO. If that's not in the cards, just the fact that it exists as a story is wonderful. Thank you so much for all the writing you do.

anyway, bye

@annjo-wolfe

hi! thanks so much! i really liked what DSM actually was and focused on my own edits and that of my editors just honing it to be the best version of itself - so i'm glad that came through and you liked it!

if ur interested in too much info about my self-publishing plans, pls see under the read more

Dale and Sana's story definitely will be self-published,its just a matter of when. it's also probably gonna get more tweaks than DSM due to the length and the way the story evolved over 2 years lol

thank you so much for your support and encouragement with publishing! i'm so happy people are excited about actually buying my stories lol

As for previous short stories that getting published, the answer is yes, i do have plans to publish them as well, they're just a lower priority for multiple reasons. firstly, me and everyone wants NWWD the most so its #1.

For 'Finally Woken' i actually already have the first 2 chapters converted to 3rd POV, however, its shorter than DSM and so would cost nearly as much to have edited but would sell for less (and amazon will try to tell me the spine is too narrow lol) so my current thoughts are to bundle it with 'Selfish' (helpfully already in 3rd person) and make a Naga Novella (called like 'Tangled Up in Tails' or something lol) with both of them in it so i can release it priced similarly to DSM.

For 'Sacrifice', i actually have plans to make that a 5 novella series about different forgotten deities returning to the same town, with 'Sacrifice' likely being offered as a cheaper, first book about a month or so before the second is published to get people into the series. the rest of the novellas would likely not go up on tumblr/AO3 at all and would only be published. i'd like to use this hypothetical series to see how that sort of model would work for me. i've planned out the 5 novellas to some extent but nothings really written yet besides 'Sacrifice'. as a complete project, its very low on my list after everything i'll b posting here and NWWD publishing, so since 'Sacrifice' is tied to that, its not likely to get published anytime soon.

For 'Snapped', i'd likely do something similar to 'Finally Woken' - write another short Sci-Fi/Alien story and bundle them together for publishing. However, i dont currently have anything written that would work so that's also a low priority evn if 'Snapped' is already 3rd POV.

I'm really excited to self-publish my work, but its expensive and what I've made from DSM has come nowhere close to covering my costs and likely won't. the only good thing is basically all the costs are up-front so its easy to jsut keep the books out there and making money when ppl buy it. i have a good job and am happy to spend my money to get my work out there and hope over time self-publishing will break-even, but that will take years at a minimum so it'll be slow going in the beginning.

my goal is to get everything self-published so it'll just be a matter of time - i too want to hold a copy of Heshi's story in my hands lol

thank you for all your support and giving me a chance to ramble about all my self-publishing plans!

#asks #self-publishing #nothing's wrong with dale #finally woken #sacrifice #selfish #snapped #my plans #who kows if they'll work out #if only i had lots and lots of money lol #i'm so glad people are interested #and i appreciate the chance to ramble a bit because i hav been thinking about all this #let me know if anyone has any other questions about all this #and i'll do my best to answer them

Went for a walk but instead of touching grass I started thinking of phones and man I'm so fucking Curious and Hyped to see the Roger route especially to see how different he is from his counterpart in DSaF.

After all, in that universe it really seems that the only thing that made Roger get his shit together after his wife left him and he dropped off med school and shit was fucking Dying and getting to now be Someone Else (see: Scott) but now everyone is already a phone so that possibility is off the table which makes me wonder, is this Roger just not miserable or is there a brand new thing that he found to get his life relatively together?
