#links meet au

[nell0-0]

I caved and ended up drawing some designs for a links meet au I've been working on, so here are: Mask, Ravio (+ bunny Oracle), Sol (from Soldier) and Tune!

Ravio may not look as goofy but that's because of culture shock between Hyrule and Lorule. Poor guy does not realize this at first

Not that Mask helps much, but there's that

Part 2 with the rest of the designs -> soon

What exactly is the hero’s spirit in this au? As there ever been a “normal” link

What is the Hero’s Spirit?

It’s Sky.

He forged it in the Goddess’s Silent Realm: a soul so strong, so powerful, that when it’s reincarnated, it’s inherently special. Unbreakable. Goddess blessed and Chosen. Every single Link is Sky’s spirit, with the exception of Wind and Spirit. (Wind who made his own and Spirit who inherited Wind’s).

I PROMISE that there’s more to this- about reincarnation and how that works with our immortal members of the group. Again, I feel guilty for talking about it without being able to reveal the full story. This one’s a MASSIVE spoiler and I will not say anything more on the subject haha.

And there have been “normal” (Hylian) Links, they just don’t stay Hylian for long haha! Take Sky or Time or Spirit, for example. Wild, too! All of the Cryptid Links are just that: cryptids! I tried my best to make them all different! But even if they weren’t little goblins, I think it’d be a stretch to call any Link “normal” haha!

Heyyyy I did manage to post something while it’s still April. Graduating college has been kicking my butt, and I figured that a child graduating from engineering school can’t be in a much better situation, so have a pre-graduation Piper.

Ravio deserves to punch people, just as a little treat. He deserves to strangle a guy who really sucks, just as a little reward

"Long lost memories are hidden behind his dreams. Memories that part of him wants to bring to the waking world, but sometimes squeeze him too tightly. And while I can't help him remember them, the least I can do is loosen their grip."

Twilight knows Wild's dreams are sometimes troubled. Animals pick up on these things. So on nights when he's awake and he hears the boy whimper, the partial weight of a furry body and a head to pet soothes Wild's scattered soul.

I was inspired by a certain movie scene to draw this a year ago. Twilight is in my opinion the heart of the group. Should another of his kin be suffering, he does anything he can to help. Emotional support wolf included.

Forgive me if the words read a bit odd. Writing isn't my strongest talent and I'm tired.

Don't tag as LU, please.

I wonder... does this blog have enough reach in the fandom that we could try and finally put a stop to people tagging unrelated AUs as LU.

The correct term to use is "Links meet AU" and the reason the mistagging hurts is because:

A) It dismisses the creativity of the work. Its a lot like saying someone's original character looks like a fictional character you know. It may be a small unintended insult but it can be demoralising and make them not wish to share their art anymore.

B) It connects all AUs of this type to Jojo, the creator of LU. That comic was not the first links meet au by a long shot. YES her work inspired many of us to start our own imagines of the same base concept, but that does not make them Linked Universe. It's like claiming someone inspired by spider-man deciding to explore the superhero genre is just making more spider-man.

Yes this may be a small issue, but I've been working on this webcomic since 2020 and still get those demoralising tags. I've been silently baring it long enough. Even worse is seeing how it hurts fellow creators in the fandom.

I don't like asking this but... Please spread this post and if you'd like: add your own experiences below. Maybe we can change things around here.

I've alluded to it before, but I've had a "Links meet Links" AU called House of Heroes for a while just for fun. Dunno exactly how to start posting it so I'm going "screw it" and just putting up older stuff. And hopefully y'all like it.

This is an older design of my version of OoT Link/Time.

This guy is an absolute grump and a constant mood. I love him so much.

If Cryptid Four is Enby, is Cryptid Shadow also Enby? Do all the colors identify as the same gender or do they identify differently? Apparently this is keeping me up at night

The colors are all their own people, and they do identify differently! Four, as we know them, is nonbinary. They use they/them pronouns. But the colors are different!

Red uses any/all (no gender, just vibes)

Blue uses he/she/they (gender fluid. They’ll tell you their preferred pronouns at any given time)

Vio uses he/they pronouns.

Green uses he/him.

Shadow uses he/him

I’ve gotten comments on how FSA happened if Forge is bad at lying. Forge also didn’t know how he got away with it for so long. The simple answer is that Shadow is absolutely blind when it comes to Forge specifically. He’s generally decent at figuring out lies from literally anyone else, but he never quite expects it from Forge, so he never sees it.
