salutations mr linkle the hyrule historian tumblr can u direct me 2 the last anon that said ur wrong bc i think they're great n I wanna give them a kiss on the lips!!!! anyway was it not u that said the OFFICIAL!!!!!!! 15 translation was wrong n bad so i dont think the opinions of anyone who considers rimbaud a doormat n wrote the abomination that is cherish are valid

anyway anon if ur reading this ilove u pooks u me n bitch tree anon n bully anon should b poly or smth we'd make beautiful children

Hmmmmmmmmmm, well I don’t remember anybody saying I was wrong, honey. 🤔 Last anon just asked me a question about if I’d ever considered something, and I answered! 😊

Anyway I’d love love love love to help you two hook up bc that’s so sweet and I want to meet your future children so much! 🥺💕💕💕 I could be a part of a real life love story! 🥺💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💕 So cute!!! I don’t think Bully anon or Bitch Tree anon would be into it unfortunately at first, since they send me little hearts and cutesie things these days…. I’m sorry about that. 😔 Oh well! I’m sure when they hear your dedication to reach out to me they’ll still want to give you kissies somehow ‘cause they’re so dedicated to me too, just in a very loving way.

And yee! I did say the ‘official’ translation was bad! Thank you so much for remembering my words and sticking around my blog so long. 🥺💕 Anyway yeah, that unfortunately happens sometimes, and by sometimes, I mean a lot, ‘cause a) there are people out there who unironically think it’s okay to take creative liberties in translating because it’s their right as someone taking the time to do it (can’t be assed rn but if you search around this site enough, you’ll find an entire thread of translators talking about this), b), there are people who write for a lot of series they’re not into and therefore aren’t aware of all the context of previous novels, c) there are people who just slip up and make mistakes! Happens all the time unfortunately and most people don’t understand that if you misunderstand or change one thing it can change everything, and d) people who are tasked with translating 99% of the time never even talk to the people team of people who actually published the original, much less are in contact with the author themself! Mistranslations and drastic creative liberties happen a lot for example in the fandom I came from (The Legend of Zelda), which you can see a bit here! And if you still don’t believe me, you can go ask Dear old Author Neil Gaiman, who has even had some of the characters in his books turned from lovers to sisters and everything, a lot of the time completely without his knowledge until fans point it out to him! If you scroll his blog, I’m sure you’ll find those posts for yourself, assuming he doesn’t see an ask from you on if it happens. ‘Tis a sad thing, but Asagiri-sensei likely doesn’t even know when a mistranslation happens, much less do these people sit down and ask him things directly before doing their thing. He certainly doesn’t have involvement overseeing the process; that’s an unreasonable thing to ask of someone when it involves other languages they may or may not even be fluent in. And all the proof we need that it’s wrong is that the JP novel and the Stage Play (both things that Asagiri was directly, heavily involved in and/or directly penned the words of/material of the script for himself) both contradict it. If you’d like to take on that claim, since you’re implying I’m wrong, have at it! The burden of proof is on you, so, I look forward to seeing you send me the individual JP source lines of the Eng translations you want to take a crack at defending and a long wall of educational text explaining why each part of the English translation got it 1,000% right, directly in my in-box. If not, have a good day ‘cause I’m sorry, but I got limited time and other things to do right now, baby. 💕 I’ll eventually get to it myself some day, but right now I have other articles to finish first, art to make, and a fic to keep posting.

Speaking of which…OMG YOU READ CHERISH? 🥺💕💕💕💖💖💕💕💖💕💕💖💖😊💖💕🥺💕🥺💕💖💕💕🥺💕💖💕💕💕 That’s so sweet OMG OMG OMG! I’m glad you enjoy my beautiful ‘abomination’ enough to read and keep up with it! Don’t worry sweetie, the next chapter is on its way!

See this is why I love love love love love love love my ‘haters’ so fucking much, I adore y’all, I’d kill for y’all, OMG. You give me so much dedication and time, I know how much y’all adore me and I adore you right back! My beloved super fans. 💕💕💕💖💖💕💕💖💕💕💕💕🥺🥺🥺 Every ask I get and vague post I read makes my heart flutter, frfr, I’ve actually got an album I keep of screenshots of y’all’s posts to give me the motivation to keep doing what I do whenever I’m down. 🥺💖💖💕💕 This one goes in the collection for sure ahhhh 💖💖💕💕💕 I’m so important to people OMG IT’S SO CUTE AND SWEET

TAKE CARE OUT THERE ANON! PLS SEND ME MORE MESSAGES I LOVE THEM. I WAIT WITH BATED BREATH 💖💖💕💕💖💕💕💕💖💖

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR DATE!!! PLEASE MAKE BABIES WHO ARE ALSO OBSESSED WITH ME, I CAN’T WAIT 💕💕💕💖💖

I made this artwork for my dear friend, @notsogoodangel, on her birthday; it ended up a few days late, but I’m still very happy with how it came out, and it seems she is, too, so all is right with the world. ^-^

Heavily based on this official artwork of Dazai and Chuuya by Bones. Do not repost my artwork anywhere without my explicit permission or claim it as your own. See F.A.Q.s for details.

Songs I listened to while drawing this:

For The Lover That I Lost — Sam Smith

For those unfamiliar with flower symbolism, I’ll briefly explain below the cut because some heavy spoilers abound for the Fifteen light novel (and of course, by extension, Storm Bringer.)

The flowers are white orchids. “Orchid” is part of the meaning of the alias “Randou”, which is Arthur Rimbaud’s alias while working in the Port Mafia (the full meaning is “Orchid Shrine”).

White orchids represent purity, loyalty, innocence, and other such things — all of which fit his personality — along with being a very sad flower commonly used at funerals.

Orchids are also very delicate flowers that require extreme amounts of love and care because they die quite easily if mistreated, which is fitting considering Arthur died because of mistreatment and betrayal at the hands of the other person in this picture, Paul Verlaine. :’)))) Also many species are co-dependent and literally cannot survive on their own without another plant.

About the Admin!

As a new member of the Awk-Squad, I thought it was my duty to answer this questionnaire by @awkwardbsd !

(Nick)name? Preferred pronoun?

In public, I have two nicknames I’m most comfortable with — Linkle, which is one used by everyone, and Tippi-chan, which is a nickname given to me by a dear friend of mine on another site and has only ever been used by him. I like both of these, but Tippi-chan I consider to be a more familiar way of addressing me that I associate with people to which I’m very close.

I’m a girl, so she/her pronouns, please, when you’re referring to me and not my muse.

Birthday?

That’s a secret to everyone except my closest friends, and I’d rather it stayed that way. ~

How would you describe yourself?

I would say that the way I present online and the way I present in person is very different; online, I enjoy socializing through writing and overall am just a very outgoing and talkative person, while offline, I am extremely introverted and would much prefer to speak and carry on conversation through text than audible words. In both cases I am shy in my own ways.

Don’t ever expect to audio or video chat with me, sorry; that’s completely off the table.

Hobbies/Interests?

I love writing analyses, meta, theories, etc. about my favorite series; I also write fanfics, RP, draw, play video games, watch my favorite shows, and run several different blogs. There are honestly too many things to list here.

Fandom wise, my biggest interests are Bungou Stray Dogs, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Legend of Zelda, Ace Attorney, and Doctor Who (up until Series 10 of NuWho), and although I love them all nearly equally, it would likely be in that particular order if I had to choose. I am extremely opinionated and firm in my beliefs, but I also have no troubles socializing with people who have differing opinions and respecting them greatly.

I love music in general, and my tastes are all over the place.

Are you a fan of anime? If so, what are your favourite ones?

Um, am I the only one who thinks that’s kind of a silly question, considering I’m a member of the Awkward Squad? Yes, obviously, I am. My absolute favorite anime is Bungou Stray Dogs, without any equal. I also enjoy Persona 5 the Animation, Mushishi, and Noragami, though truthfully I don’t watch very much anime outside of BSD.

I do like Diabolik Lovers as a series a little, but I wouldn’t list the anime as being one of my favorites though I’ve finished watching it, and I’ve only watched some subbed playthroughs of the games; I’m not that into romance and mostly just appreciate the characters themselves to some extent.

Do you ship? If so, what is/are your favourite ship(s)?

I do ship, although given I’m ace, for me most of my ships tend towards the platonic side even when they’re romanctic; I’m fairly innocent minded as a general rule.

You can learn most of my primary ships through a certain section on my main blog’s directory, but in general my biggest ships from BSD are Platonic! Odazai (Dazai x Odasaku), ChuuArt (Chuuya x Randou/Arthur Rimbaud), AkuHigu (Akutagawa x Higuchi), and Kyouka x Atsushi (which I’m not sure of the official ship name for). Yes, I know, most of my main ships are rare pairs and some a bit controversial, but I love them all dearly.

Favourite Character(s)?

Dazai, Odasaku, Chuuya, and Randou/Arthur Rimbaud are all my equally loved BSD babies. 💙

I also adore Yashiro Tsurugi from Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Clay Terran from Ace Attorney, and Link from the Legend of Zelda.

If you could bring any character to life to become your best friend (or partner), who would it be?

I couldn’t possibly choose who to bring into this world, because all of the characters I love most have someone they deserve to be happy with, so I couldn’t separate them.

Maybe Shad from the Legend of Zelda, because we could do Historical work together.

If you could have any superpower (it can be from an anime, movie, video game, or anywhere really), what would it be?

I’m happy with who I am and the abilities I have just to speak to others this way and do the things I do, but if I had an ability other than those, I think it would be one to peaceably stop wars and have everyone just be happy together. It’s corny, I know, but it’s true.

How many posts do you plan on posting a day?

I’m not sure. It depends on the day. I have a lot of drafts to clear out in my main blog, but I imagine it should be a fair number of posts even from here, so long as there’s content and people wanting to interact with me.

Time-zone?

Pacific Daylight Time (PDT).

Other blogs/social media you want to share?

My main blog is @linklethehistorian.

My other current side blogs are the following:

@linkles-historian-blog (A blog with only canon information and my personal works/headcanons/things that align with them)

“Chuuya, kun……one, request……?”

“What?”

“Live.”

Randou had said that in a voice like a whisper.

“Who you are, where you came from……there’s no longer any way to know,” Randou said in a voice close to a gasp. “But you……even if you’re nothing more than the surface frame to power……you’re you. Nothing has changed……all human beings, all of life……are no more than the frame of the brain and flesh, and of the material world that surrounds them……no more than a beautiful frame……”

Have you ever wondered what the death scene in Fifteen would have looked like if the anime had actually not completely lied about basically every single second of the battle scene? Well, wonder no longer... I’ve recreated it — down to the blood on his nose, based on the actual light novel’s description. You won’t be able to read all of that scene following the link to Lea’s translation above, as there was a lot left out in her summary with excerpts, but you can read a portion of it there in a very well polished translation, or you can check out this post where I’ll tell you where else to find it. (Please also feel free to check out my article to learn about all of the butchery the anime committed against this beautiful story.)

Songs I listened to while drawing this:

Saturn — Sleeping At Last

Die Alone — FINNEAS

W.I.P. Week — Day 7 (March 2): Any WIP

I decided that for the final day, since I had so many more separate artworks to share, I would just share some of the sketches I made in between my main works as warmup exercises. There are a lot of images in these, obviously, but I will try to name them all for you best I can so you know who they are portraying, and someday I hope to turn each one into its own full piece.

First picture, left to right, top to bottom:

Unknown (random doodle), Toon Link (The Legend of Zelda), Dazai Osamu (Bungou Stray Dogs), Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Bungou Stray Dogs), Unknown (random doodle), Arthur Rimbaud (Bungou Stray Dogs), Yashiro Tsurugi (Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE), N (Pokémon), N (Pokémon)

Second picture:

All random sketches of Arthur Rimbaud (Bungou Stray Dogs).

Third picture, left to right, top to bottom:

Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke (Bungou Stray Dogs), Kincaid(?) (Legend of Zelda OC, or perhaps another OC because the design varies a lot here from his traditional one), Dazai Osamu (Bungou Stray Dogs), Valindatoria (Legend of Zelda OC), Dazai Osamu (Bungou Stray Dogs), Atsushi Nakajima (Bungou Stray Dogs), Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Bungou Stray Dogs).

Bonus Question: What WIP (not written by you) would you love to see updated?

Ugh, there are too many to really mention here, and right now they’re unfortunately not even coming to mind. If I had to name one, it would probably be the White Collar fanfiction Floating on the Edge by msgone. Obviously, that’s unlikely to ever happen, but it was definitely a good beginning for a story; it had a lot of flair, and it’s very sad that it was never updated further.

—

Well, I guess W.I.P. Week is all over now, huh? It’s been fun, and I’m sorry this is a day late, but I really hope that someday, I will be able to join you again in celebrating the world of fandoms, artists, writers, and the like with another round of this event!

Do not repost my artwork anywhere without my explicit permission or claim it as your own. See F.A.Q.s for details.

“Skyloft and the Loftwing”

This is probably one of few actual landscape/scenery pictures I can ever say I did. It was a picture for a chapter in my multi-crossover story, The Heroes of Hyrule, which is based solely upon the stories that unfold in an RP done with my family. I don’t really plan to talk to much about that here, but, to think it’s still going on even today makes me really happy.

I did this back in 2011, so it’s pretty old stuff, but I hope you’ll enjoy it anyway.

As is to be expected given that I’m trying to stick to uploading my oldest works first as much as is possible with W.I.P. Week going on, this is yet another old piece of artwork I made back in 2011 as a part of my ongoing story, The Heroes of Hyrule — this time depicting Saria from Ocarina of Time with her fairy companion.

Tag Game

I saw this on @gold-pavilion‘s blog and since he didn’t know who to tag but we’re mutuals and I love tags, I decided to do it. ^-^ Making a separate post because the original chain was very long lol.

1. Why did you choose your URL?

Well, you see, the first account I ever truly made for myself online — specifically on Zelda Universe — had the username Linkle; there’s a bit of, I think, an interesting story behind that particular decision, as well, that’s more than just “it’s a random character from The Legend of Zelda”, which involves a group vote and decision made by some of the first online friends I ever had (I had borrowed a relative’s account somewhere else at the time and started interacting with people there), but I won’t go into the details for now unless somebody asks for it, because I don’t want to bore people. lol

Anyway, after making my first account on Zelda Universe to post a fairly long theory article I’d written and share my other thoughts related to the fandom, I actually became pretty decently well-known around the site for my work as a “Hyrule Historian & Theorist”. I even made the title of ZUer of the Month (essentially Member of the Month) only a few short months after joining the site, which, needless to say, I was overjoyed about.

After that, the name and title just...kind of ended up being something I stuck with — my own personal, recognizable brand, if you will — and as a result, on about 99% of the online accounts I own, my username is some kind of variation on Linkle or a reference to my being a Hyrule Historian, or both.

To be totally honest with you, this is, I think, my favorite variation on that.

2. Any side blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them.

Oh gosh, haha... That’s a pretty long list; I actually have 12 side-blogs right now, buuut...I’ll only list 11 of them here, because one of them is currently a private one that I’m preparing for a special event in the future.

Let’s see...this is my main blog, and then there’s my four side blogs for sorting content by fandom (which I really need to start using more): @linklesbungoustrayblog, @linkles-pokeblog, @linkles-blog-attorney, and @linklesthebloggingofzelda. My side blog for my artwork only is @linkles-art-blog, though again, I need to keep up with that more. haha I also have a blog called @linkles-historian-blog which is something I wanted to use for only blogging about and reblogging canon facts about the fandom and things that fit my personal headcanons, but I haven’t really used it much yet.

Then there are my Ask/RP blogs, @awkward-arthur-rimbaud, @awkward-paul-verlaine, and @ask-bungou-stray-dogs — the last of which I use the least and don’t really get any interaction on, but the former two of which are quite beloved to me, especially the first. I also have two other ask/RP blogs, but those also don’t really get recognized: @awkward-natural and a sort of specific offshoot of my awkward Arthur account, @pok-randou.

3. How long have you been on Tumblr?

Uhh...due to the fact that I didn’t actually post anything for many, many months after I joined, I honestly can’t recall, but I believe I joined in like...February 2018 and was completely dormant outside of organizing my page until around May or so. So, I’ve been here almost 3 and a half years now!

4. Do you have a queue tag?

No; I don’t really see the point in one, honestly. Why does it matter what’s been posted through my queue and what’s been posted live? To me, it just doesn’t — not enough to warrant an entire tag for it.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

In some ways, that’s a bit of a loaded question that I’m not sure I can openly answer without having to worry about certain people from a different site breathing disapprovingly down my neck...hahaha....

Another reason, though, is just that I wanted to branch out more in general, and especially get to mingle with the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom, since the main site I was using before this really didn’t have any BSD fans to speak of, minus like...three people in a user base of literal hundreds of thousands.

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Remember how I mentioned earlier in this that I have a certain, specific, recognizable personal brand that I wanted to stick to when making my Tumblr? Basically, I did it because of that; my pfp is one I was most known for using back on Zelda Universe, so I decided to use it here. That kind of sucks sometimes, because I’d like to switch things up to fit my current aesthetic, but...alas, I must stick to my familiar brand. :/ Same goes for the general color aesthetics on my header and main page.

7. Why did you choose your header?

Because it matches my url and I wanted to be easily recognizable.

8. Which post of yours has the most notes?

Sadly not the one I’d like to have the highest number (most of the notes on it are actually thanks to my own reblogging while trying to get it noticed ;-;); technically, the honor of the most notes goes to this set of posts, with a grand 159 notes under its belt.

My second most popular is this artwork with 120 notes, and the third most popular is this article with 93 notes, both of which I’m very proud of for achieving those numbers when on average I’m extremely lucky if get over 20.

Most of my posts only get 4-5 notes on average.

9. How many mutuals do you have?

I have exactly ten mutuals at the moment, and I know and treasure every one of them personally. 💖

10. How many followers do you have?

I have 93 followers, and most of them I owe to my dear big bro, @gold-pavilion, and the lovely Dino from @awkwardbsd.

11. How many people do you follow?

I follow 96 blogs at the moment — just 3 more than are following me.

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

I guess that depends on what you consider a shitpost. By most people’s definitions, probably, yes.

13. How often do you use Tumblr?

A lot more often than I actually spend posting. 😂

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?

Bro, I barely have any interactions with anyone who isn’t a close friend anyway, so no. Thankfully not. I’m not really looking to engage people in arguments here; I just want to do my own thing and see other people enjoying my posts.

15. How do you feel about 'you need to compare this’ posts?

I have no idea what those are, so I can’t really say. I kind of wish this question was more specific, because now I’m curious. haha

16. Do you like tag games?

I LOVE tag games, I just rarely get tagged in them. ;w; Even revisiting ones I’ve already done after awhile can be fun, because it gives me the chance to see how much my answers have changed over time.

17. Do you like ask games?

1,000% yes, just like with tag games.

18. Which one of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?

Most definitely Red from gold-pavilion, followed by Dino from awkwardbsd.

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Do you mean a crush as in starstruck or a crush as in the traditional meaning? Because yes.

I’m starstruck by Red and Dino and so many of my other mutuals because they’re so cool. hhhh 🥺 And as for the more traditional definition, there is one person...and that person 1,000% knows who they are if they’re reading this. haha If you’re a mutual reading this and you have to question if you’re the person I’m meaning, you’re not. lol But I love and treasure you anyway. 💖🥺

20. Tags:

@anantagonist because you’re a fellow shy person I feel safe tagging. 💖 Other than that...TBD, might add some people later if I’m feeling more bold

#linklethehistorian #thoughts #non-fandom #ily big brother #you too dino #thank you so much for the support #and anantagonist #and all of my mutuals #and my followers in general #ily #my thoughts.#tag.
