Hello! Though I'd draw some other Zelda fan comics :D

Obviously, it would take too long to draw all characters, so I chose my favorite characters for story or character design. *Excluded Ravio cause he would obviously have first place everywhere lol* I sadly couldn't include all the fan comics I like cause I need more space.

Here are the comics in question;

Legend from @linkeduniverse

Mirror from @bonus-links

Koridai from @linked-maze

Wind from @minas-linkverse

Steel from @link-rejoin

Dark Link from Four sword return aka @blackstarchanx3new

Link from @alternate-triforce

Shade from my own fan comic; @kings-comic

You definitely need to check them out!

Are there any comics you like that I didn't include?

We all agree Vio reads a lot, right? He‘d probably need at least reading glasses fairly soon if his luck and that glorious Hero‘s Spirit let him down (shh, we ignore how that fits into him and archery for the sake of the bit). But (according to personal experience) before one gets dearly needed glasses, they typically run around doing… expressions. Just imagine that „calm and collected“ (to quote Red: „cool“) guy going

Blue: … This is getting embarassing.

Red: Don‘t insult his efforts, Blue :( You can do it, Vio!!!

Vio: At least I possess the reading proficiency required to have a chance at deciphering this sign.

Blue: WE SHARED A BODY THROUGHOUT SCHOOL!

Vio: That we did. And we‘ve established that not all memories are shared, didn‘t we?

Green: Alright, that‘s enough, guys. The sign reads „Do Not Keep Going, Visitors Unwelcome“, by the way.

Red: Oh, we should continue! Whoever‘s at the end of this path must be lonely from not getting any visitors :D

Vio: I agree, we should send Red ahead. That lonely person will be overwhelmed by his demeanor enough to not harm him and we can look around in the meantime.

Green: Maybe you‘ll go instead, your charming disposition today is sure to brighten up their day, as well.

#i have made it my mission to make Vio specifically as uncool as possible #in a vidow version Shade will eventually just go #oh hun how did you ever convince me to think you were swag #but JOKES ON HIM HES ALSO CONSTANTLY FAILING A CHARISMA CHECK #these two are my dolls actually #im not making them kiss rn im drawing clown faces on them as god intended #my shippy phase will porbably return pnce rl stopped wringing my neck though #four swords #four swords manga #vio link #what even is this anymore #do they even have school #do they know how to add and subtract #by the standards of hylian society i would be a genius beyond all measures #and you would be too youre welcome :) #legend of zelda

Life Debts and why Nyx's is a Big Deal

@secret-engima because I've been thinking on this and have Feelings.

Y'all can find SE's original post on Debt Braids here, but a short recap:

Debt is taken very seriously in Galahd. If you owe a debt, it's expected that you pay it off as soon as you can - via goods, services, etc. Very large debts between families can be settled through marriage, but as it requires both potential newly weds to be completely willing (Galahdians don't do divorce, you're married until one of you die), that sort of arrangement is rare.

A Life Debt is declared when a Galahdian believes they owe a debt they cannot repay, usually because the debt is so large, so personal, that a value of the debt cannot be given. In such a scenario, the Galahdian will declare a Life Debt and weave a Debt braid into their hair. A Life Debt is declared on that Galahdian's life. Only they can pay it, and once they die, the debt is fulfilled.

Now, this is where we get to just how serious declaring a Life Debt is. A Galahdian who declares a Debt is declaring that they owe this one person so much, that said person essentially now holds their loyalty over even the Galahdian's own clan and Chief. That loyalty stays until the Galahdian dies. If the person holding the debt dies, the debt passes on to their heir. When the heir dies, the debt does not pass on to anyone else, but even then, the Galahdian is not free from the Debt. Instead, they are free to choose how they will fulfill the debt until they die.

Because Life Debts are such a serious thing, no one can demand a Life Debt as payment. It is only ever voluntary.

So now we get to Nyx's Debt to Regis.

(I won't go into why Nyx declared a Debt - canonically we know Regis once saved Nyx's life, but exact details are for everyone's personal headcanons.)

On the surface, it's not that big of a deal. Oh, it's significant. It's a major commitment Nyx can never take back, but it's not really a problem.

Three things make Nyx's declared Debt significant, even by Galahdian standards. 1) The holder of his Debt is the Mainlander King. 2) Nyx is a Clan Chief. 3) Nyx is the absolute Last of his clan. Any single one of these wouldn't be remarkable, but together they turn what would be a significant but standard Debt into a nightmare.

Regis being an Outsider would normally not be an issue. Oh, there are Galahdians that sneer in private over Nyx declaring a Debt to an Outsider, because they believe Galahdians don't owe Outsiders jack shit. (Is it xenophobic? Yes, but Galahdians have a strong insider-outsider mindset and there will always be extremists in any culture.) But they keep their opinions to themselves because commenting on someone's declared Debt is just asking for a broken nose. Even Regis being a king wouldn't be anything other than an unusual detail (because just what happened that caused Nyx to owe a king a Debt?). The biggest thing about Regis being an Outsider is that to fulfill the debt, Nyx pretty much has to leave Galahd for Insomnia until the king and his heir die or one of them gives Nyx explicit permission/orders to return to Galahd. Which sucks, but that's what Debts mean. Regis - and later Noctis - will hold Nyx's first loyalty until Nyx dies.

Nyx being a Clan Chief is where things start getting sticky. A Chief's first duty must be to their clan. Chiefs, as a rule, do not declare Life Debts. They can't, not when they're first loyalty has to be to the clan, instead of a single person outside the Clan. In the very rare cases a Chief feels they must declare a Debt, they step down from their position as Chief. At least, they should. There's no clan law stating someone with a Life Debt cannot be Clan Chief, but a Chief in such a position will either neglect their clan or their Debt. Neither is something Galahdians regard favorably. There's never been a case where a Chief has refused to step down after declaring a Debt, so none of the Clans have ever had to decide what to do, but it's likely it would not end well.

Nyx being the very Last of his clan means that there aren't any other Ulrics he has a duty of care to as Chief. He is the only one affected by his declaration of Debt, so him remaining Chief Ulric isn't actually a problem. Where him being the Last becomes the final nail in the coffin is if anyone ever joins Clan Ulric. Because unless the Clans somehow find an Ulric that escaped the Burning, Nyx can't step down as Chief.

Nyx's first commitment must be to Regis. Then to Noctis. Not to his people. Not to his friends or any personal relationships. Not to rebuilding Clan Ulric. Any spouse/children/clansmen would always come second unless Regis/Noctis allowed it.

(Do I think Regis and Noctis would allow it, if Nyx asked? Yes. In a heartbeat. But Nyx would have to ask. Might even have to explain, and as a whole, Galahdians tend to be... reluctant, to explain their culture to Outsiders.)

I don't think Nyx really thought about the long term consequences of his Debt, when he made it. He might have, and could have decided that the situation was such that he was honor-bound to declare a Debt regardless. But Nyx has a reputation for not really thinking before he leaps into action, and depending on when Nyx declared his Debt? If it was after the Burning, after Nyx lost literally everyone, he probably wouldn't have been thinking clearly even if he had taken the time to think the decision over. And that's assuming he would have realized the implications in the first place - if Nyx wasn't raised to be Chief, it's very probable he wouldn't have.

Every other Clan Chief would have caught the implications. They would have known, from the moment they saw Nyx's braid, that the Last Ulric would never return to Galahd (not when the likelihood of Nyx outliving a boy 12 years his junior was slim to none). That the Last Ulric would likely remain the Last, condemning the Ulric Clan to die with him.

#ffxv #worldbuilding #galahd culture #galahd #Nyx Ulric #braids #working on my various Sola aus and realizing what it means for Nyx to declare that Debt #in most aus is doesn't end up being a problem because either Regis dies and Nyx transfers the Debt to Sola as his chosen queen #or Nyx never bonds as Sola's Sword before either of them die and is never confronted with that particular crisis #but in Sunshine-verse *Selena is still alive* and *still a child* for about four years after the Burning #...oh I work with that I can *definitely* work with that #then there's the Memories-verse when Nyx finally meets Sola again after Sola's supposed death (and actually *knows* it's Sola) #and he's smacked in the face with the realization that he can't stay with Sola because Sola doesn't want to return to Insomnia #and Sola has very good reasons for not wanting to go back but Nyx *has* to go back *because he declared a Debt* #and that Debt will go to Noctis on Regis' death because Sola is still 'dead' and Sola (now going by Rhea) doesn't want to be Sola anymore #so Nyx can't tell Regis or Noctis about Rhea because they'd want Sola to come back but Rhea *can't* be Sola #can't be the daughter and sister she was before she fell down Taelpar Crag #before Taelpar Crag it could have worked - Sola's first loyalty will always be to Noctis so she would have understood and accepted #Nyx being unable to give her his first loyalty even as her Sword (which is how it works in the fusion with SE's Blood of my Blood-verse) #(and in the fusion with SE's Nox-verse though Sola does ensure that Nox is aware of Nyx's situation when the two are courting) #it's unlikely I'll ever have Regis or pre-Crystal Noctis learn that Nyx declared a Debt or what it really means

Look, Vidow will always have my heart, but IM JUST SAYING in "closer-to-canon" post-manga AUs, there is absolutely a case to be made for Link/Shadow

#four swords #im still on totk but when i put it down #fs returns full force #im of the opinion that any ship can work in the right circumstances #*almost any (ignoring the gross ones) #so yes i do think theres something to be said for link/shadow #its hypothetical mostly because we get to know the four different links through the manga #and combining them at the end feels like a disappointment #like where did all that progress go???? what happened to the character ive grown to love???? #but i think a good epilogue-y fic could make it feel better #and a growing relationship with shadow could be part of thst #ANYWAY #not to rant in the tags #but im down to debate about it #havin fun over here with totk #dont mind me

[thoroughlycollected]

i just finished playing Sword and Fairy 7!!! i have things to say and they’re spoilers so i’m gonna put them under a cut

i can’t believe they really turned my boyfriend Xiu Wu back into fruit and then refused to resurrect him because he fell in love with my girlfriend Yue Qingshu 🙄 like i KNOW it’s against the laws of heaven and technically very valid but i feel like they could’ve cut me a break since heaven is so disorganized that they let Aoxu go so far without anyone realizing. also also i get that he sacrificed his life for hers but did that have to mean going back in the tree?

Jiutian Xuannu could have removed his divinity and made him “suffer” to live as a human, or forced him to degenerate into a Heaven Demon (white hair Xiu Wu in all black 😳). now my girl is walking around with a box of fruit she’s in love with lol he better cultivate a new body damn it.

and more than that. do i like. have to restart from the middle of the story in order to complete side quests and stuff? idk why i thought after the story ended it would be open world and i could just run around again but i really really did think that. i wanted to see Bai Moqing and Sang Yo’s wedding! i wanted to hang out in their house and bother Sang Mei! i wanted to collect herbs and make new poisons and go reconcile with er ge and then visit the Mingshu sect and go on adventures.

all these gripes are because the game is so fun, btw. i enjoyed it!! i really liked the story (i’ve seen people say it’s typical xianxia but i’m not super familiar with the genre so it’s new to me!!!!) and the setting and landscapes are beautiful. everything is so pretty and all the npcs are delightful. excellent world building, great weapons, cool outfits, the spell marks looked great. the bosses are a little tanky, but that’s what easy mode is for lmao.

#this game was really really fun #and all the cut scenes and dialogue made it feel more like a show than a game sometimes WHICH I LOVE #and if i find a level that lets me have all four party members and then just never return to the main quests then what. #is that how it’s supposed to go? #i’ve only completed 53.1% of the game this MUST be the move #i mean got to the end of the plot ‘technically’ finished lol #i’ve never finished a PS4 game before i only started playing recently #i’m a gameboy advance player an animal crossing on switch player #i’m a maplestory assassin’s creed guild wars zoombinis on PC gamer idk what to do with this hsjskexl #sword and fairy 7 #bai moqing #yue qingshu #xiu wu #sang yo #sang mei was soooooo pretty i care her v much
