no offense but the whole kissin kate barlow and “i can fix that” sam storyline from holes is quite frankly one of the most gripping and tragic in the history of cinema and i’m still not recovered from it
“You, your children, and your childrens children can dig for the next one hundred years. And you will never find it. Start digging, Trout.”
We all deserve to go to a masquerade ball. I deserve to be anonymous among to aristocracy for one night getting up to general debauchery in a swan-inspired mask that absolutely doesn’t hide my face well enough for me to be half as bold and sensual as I plan to act but everyone else is on board so it’s okay and we’ll all just not talk about it tomorrow.
ppl keep sending me asks about this like “what’s stopping you from throwing a ball OP”
Part of me WANTED to suggest we all donate and pitch in for it and do it. But I think (at least I hope) we learned from the last time (then again probably not since they tried again).
a masquerade ball, an event that specifically exists to allow people to lower their inhibitions and act out with less social consequences than they would usually have to deal with, populated entirely by people from tumblr is, and don’t get me wrong, the Worst thing I can Ever imagine
Anonymous asked: I’m not sure if you answered this already, but how did, in your headcanon, Ganondorf become the “demon king”, and how did his mother react? I usually go by the Skyward Sword explanation that he was the prophesied reincarnation of the demon king, and I always was interested in how Ganondorf’s mother reacted to finding out that her son was the next prince of darkness. (Also, Demon King originally autocorrected to Demisexual King, so now I have a new headcanon, lol.)
I’m pretty sure I mentioned it a few times but I don’t think I ever went in more depth about it, so!
Ganondorf was a child when he was possessed by Demise, but it wasn’t a “wam-bam outta nowhere” sort of deal. Nah, it was a planned attack. In his first lifetime, Ganondorf would’ve been a significant individual to the Gerudo because he’d be the closest of being a pure-blooded male in that specific timeline: his mother and father were both Gerudo and they ended up having a son, which is so low of a chance in percentage it’s basically unheard of. He’d have been the first pure-blooded male in a long time, and a cult saw that as the perfect vessel for their Demon King.
Not quite the Yiga but perhaps a source of inspiration for them in later timelines, this cult was led by none other than the twisted witch twins Koume and Kotake (best known as Twinrova), who had pledged their loyalty to the Demon King and had become demons themselves. This cult believed that Demise was a “world cleanser” and his reign would purge the land of “sin and the unworthy”, and so they devoted themselves to his cause. After his first defeat and his claim of being reborn, he could have been referring to what the Cult had cookin’ up:
Bring their lord back in a mortal vessel.
So they stole the boy away when he was at a more suitable age (around 7-10), possibly stole his parents too as bloody sacrifices to help infuse their lord with more power in their ritual. They’d have waited for him to be an adult but they ultimately concluded that he’d be far easier to capture (and subdue) as a child overall.
And thus begins the start of Ganondorf the Demon King.
Not a bad idea at all, but I don’t really want him to be a Sage: there honestly isn’t much of a reason to make him be one when he already has the Triforce of Power. I know Zelda was a sage but I’m retconning that in my headcanon, or at least partially. Lemme explain:
-Apparently, Sages don’t awaken unless there is great danger, so with that bit of information I think it’s safe to assume that once danger passes, the previous Sages are no longer needed and thus are allowed to step away from their role as a sage. So let’s go with that: after the events of OoT, Zelda did indeed step away from her role as the Sage of Time just as the others have.
-In a political sense, the Seven Sages never fully existed, or at least not officially. They operated a lot like a Champion did in that they were chosen warriors that protected Hyrule, the best line of defense, and while they didn’t quite have a political title or power their title as a Sage came with the allowance that their word is significant (and therefore still held weight even in places they technically aren’t a part of). In fact, when The Champions came to be, I’d like to think how the Seven Sages worked was what built the groundwork for its construction.
-Aaaaaaaaaaanyway, given the time having passed without any threat from Demise, new sages aren’t active aside from the Dragon Guardians. Speaking of them, though, they will eventually find successors to take on their role as a Sage, of which I propose a character for their mentorship below.
-If I do end up making them a tangible thing in the current timeline, I’m not…. entirely sure who would be the sages, actually. I have some ideas but nothing too concrete yet, but here are my proposals for them in this timeline anyway:
-Urbosa (Light)
-Medli (Earth) (successor to Saria/Ordona )
-Yunobo (Fire) (successor to Darunia/Eldin)
-Revali (Wind) (Successor to Rauru/Lanayru)
-Mipha (Water)(Successor to Ruto/Faron)
-Midna (Shadow) *SN: I’m combining Shadow and Spirit into one element*
-Paya (Time)
—-
And while we’re on the topic lemme just lay out the groundwork for this timeline’s current Champions:
-Urbosa (champion of the Gerudo)
-Daruk (champion of the Gorons)
-Teba (champion of the Rito)
-Sidon (champion of the Zora)
-Impa (champion of the Hylians)
—–
I got a bit long-winded there but I hope it answers your question/suggestion o3o
