I come to you in my time of need...
Alright, Tumblr. This newbie needs help.
This site is...very unintuitive to me. One thing at a time.
Reblogging: It feels, weird? I guess because I'm used to my "likes" on other social platforms actually doing something. The explanation I've seen is mostly "Tumblr is a blogging site! It works like a blog!" Except every non Tumblr blog I've ever been on is just a site dedicated to the owner's own writing/art/what-have-you. They don't constantly mix in content from other people?
It just feels like there isn't a good way to organize my blog to keep my stuff separate from the content I'm reblogging, and it all gets pushed down the page so fast. Literally the first thing I noticed about Tumblr, back when I was just a lurker, was how frustrating it was to find a creator's blog, and not be able to separate out the stuff *they actually made* from all the other stuff I was uninterested in. I use my own tag on all my stuff, but is this really the only way to categorize? Because tons of makers don't use a unique tag and then I have no way to find their stuff.
So, yeah. Reblogging a ton feels weird to me because it feels like it makes stuff disappear down my dashboard too fast, BUT I am trying to do it more, because I get that it's important, I just wish there was another way to boost other people's content. Is this why people have side blogs, or is that a different idea?
Next, Blocking: Is there no way to hide stuff I don't want to see without completely blocking someone? Like, say a piece of art they made makes me uncomfortable, is there no button to just, hide it from my feed? I know there's a way to block certain tags/words, but what if they don't use any distinct descriptions? I don't wanna be like "begone forever" because of one thing (or a few) that I don't like, but there's been at least one time where the same post kept showing at the top of my feed for DAYS and I just couldn't take it anymore.
There are definitely more things I'm forgetting about, so I'm sure I'll be back but, in the meantime, please help me. 馃槬

Triple Threat Time
The Terror Trio
Legend, Hyrule, and Wild are known as the Triple Threat and I love them.
@breannasfluff for you, m'lady
Legend and Wild
These two are the most over looked.
And from the very beginning, we have a ton of examples of them just. Being. Near each other.
Like magnets
We can trace back to the moment these two really connected and spent more time with each other... which was of COURSE over girlfriend trauma
That's one of our first Legend being soft moments, showing true empathy. And Wild found that Legend could be understanding of his hurt- this is where they connected beyond just being closer than most
The main point in the plot with Legend and Wild is when they split off into groups
They went together, and this interaction shows that with these three, Legend is the common sense filter that keeps the other two from falling off of cliffs
Wild: I wanted to climb the mountain!
Leg: there is literally a cliff to fall off of right there
One of the things I love most about about Legend and Wild is they understand each other
We have multiple examples of them literally stating facts about the other in coversation.
"I know you love to tease" "you break everything" "you're not usually impressed"
They just state facts about each other because they get each other and understand
Wild and Hyrule
Ah yes. The two that have so many similarities in which they give the rest of the chain heart attacks
They both have the insecurity about knighthood. Hyrule because he's never felt adequate, and Wild feels like he only used to be.
They both hate maps (who needs them, right? *promptly gets lost*)
They do not care about injury at all. "I can walk off a broken leg for sure it'll be fine"
When left alone these two nearly die. Like every time. Love them.
Here's a lot of them hanging out:
Legend and Hyrule
The downfall duo
These two are from the same timeline, the downfall timeline, and there are certain connections coming from the same world. I think that their world made them have a similar fighting style because of how it's developed.
They are around each other mostly
And they always fight together
Here's my take on these two: Legends more confident because he's done so much. Hyrule's less confident because he didn't have such an insane number of adventures.
Legend's been through enough to know this is ganon's fault, not his. Hyrule's been through little enough (even with insanely hard adventures) that he has much more insecurity.
These two are quite possibly the most skilled in survival, because of no formal knight training. Instead of having perfect swordsmanship, they have tools (legend) and spells (hyrule) to fight in a world that was so much harder.
Which of course relates to wild who woke up in a cave, found a sword and winged it.
That's their relationships two on two
Legend and wild: power team, overlooked but so so close
Wild and Hyrule: do not let them near fire
Legend and Hyrule (downfall duo): They fight together and they are a pair
Combined these three make a Triple Threat
They also have dynamics with all three of them combined
Bestest moments of them:
When turned into a bunny, Legend mentioned both Hyrule and Wild as the ones he was worried about seeing him that way
In both scenes of Wild breaking swords Legend or Hyrule was there
When Wild was injured, they both somehow lost their senses and freaked out about him being dead (lol)
But with all of them they understand each other
Wild and Hyrule know Legend is grumpy and rude- they don't care, he's their brother. As the one who appreciates maps, he keeps both from getting even closer to dying
Hyrule: he feels accepted. These two make him feel like he has a place and is valuable to those with similarities.
Hyrule and Legend don't care about Wild's odd traits, they know that he breaks stuff and gets hurt often.
Proof
!!!! Looking at their scenes (in my screenshots above too), this is clear: all three of them have more examples than most of them being next to or near the others
Plus all the adventures and scenes of them- they fight and wander together- they are on this journey with each other
Because they understand each other, they spend time with each other. With nine people in the chain, when a few are around each other this much rather than the others, it makes it very clear how close they are, since they simply want to be near each other.
Here's my very favourite picture that perfectly sums up the three of them:
Legend: grrrr
Hyrule: excited
Wild: still can't put his hands on his hips properly
And these three combined... we've got constantly injured, set fire to everything, get lost a ton, snarky rudeness galore, plus swords and tools and magic, and that makes them a threat
(one thing I want to point out. you can see this by looking at the screenshots in this post. with the chain, much of figuring out who is close is simply who is near each other. looking at their interactions and the times they are hanging out as a group, Four is most often near and hanging out with these three rather than the others, so I think he is also very close to them and feels comfortable with them. do with that what you will.)
Yeah! Terror Trio.
:)

Support me on Patreon or send a tip on Kofi!
I can't even make this joke bc they really did try everything
(ID in alt and under cut)
ID: Full body of Laszlo sitting on the ground with one knee pulled up, fully dressed in a suit. Nandor, wearing nothing, is sat beside him with his arms around his shoulders and legs on either side of him, pressing his junk into his hip. Nandor is frowning, a tear in his eye as he presses their cheeks together. Nadja, also wearing nothing, is kneeling just behind Laszlo on his other side to press her chest against the back of his neck, hands folded atop his head to rest her cheek on. She is also frowning, eyes closed as if in mourning as a single tear beads in her eyelashes. Between them, Laszlo stares straight forward with an impassive expression, words clipped and dismissive, "Yes, yes, very good, thank you." /end ID

quick & dirty werewolf romance rec list
Wolfsong & the rest of the Green Creek Series by TJ Klune. Addictive, heart wrenching, fantastic. MM, adult, coming of age gay romances with high drama and romantic tension. If you want to read about werewolves, this is the gold standard. I'm in love with Klune's writing style. LGBTQA+ rep -- book three features an ace romance!!!
Cold Hearted by Heather Guerre (Tooth and Claw #1). @matsuoclan has the BEST book recommendations, oh my god. Grace moves to a remote town in Alaska to escape her past, and finds a new family, and more besides. Explores the themes of loneliness and depression with a supernatural twist, with a sprinkle of enemies to lovers. Love this book, will devour the series >:3
Ruby and the Wolf by Clover Down. @dominimoonbeam remains one of my favourite PNR writers. After putting her life on the line for a stranger, Ruby finds herself on the run from vampires with the wolf she saved. SO STEAMY. SO GOOD.
Mating the Huntress by Talia Hibbert. A werewolf falls head over heels for a hunter. SO GOOD. SO FUN. READ IT.
The Lone Wolf's Rejected Mate by Cate C Wells. Another book rec from a moot that I devoured. Wells is a guilty pleasure, and this is my favourite of this series. Deals with trauma, mind the content warnings, Darragh has my heart.
Tumblr recs
@monstersandmaw - Gabe and Odessa, complete, full novel. I cannot tell you how many times I've read this story. It's a comfort read okay. Slow burn. Odessa, lawyer, escaping the city, moves into a small cabin in the woods and meets Gabe, a park ranger, with more to him than it seems. Just a beautiful story.
@snowkissedmonsters - Candy and the wolves. Explores poly dynamics between a wolfpack and the human waitress Candy who is their mate. Gorgeous art to accompany it too!
