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.

the good omens fandom shares one braincell and it’s in michael sheen’s kitchen cabinet
I think its very important to point out that while it is in michael sheens possession, he does not use it

Anonymous asked: what if the good ganondorf ended up becomming the spirit sage
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

The moment people were like “oh shit water benders”
I really loved this episode though, it was an established theme in the show that firebenders are associated with death and waterbenders are associated with life and healing, and up to this point it all seemed so clear-cut, because fire obviously destroys everything in its path while water can put out fires and heals, as we’ve seen particularly in Katara’s case with her natural healing ability.
Then we meet Hama, who due to years of torture and hatred has found a way to turn the classic gentler waterbending ways into a weapon of destruction and manipulation, and honestly I can’t think of a better way to introduce people to the fact that things are never as clear cut as they seem. We’ve thought of waterbenders as the good guys up until this point, so it’s jarring to find out that no, despite stereotypes and traditions, there are always going to be good and bad people in every culture/group, but that’s the point of the entire show.
It’s revisited later too when Aang and Zuko find the Sun Warriors who teach them firebending is not just about death and destruction, but also about bringing warmth to the earth and making plants grow and both Aang and Zuko needed to hear that they weren’t just instruments of destruction and gain confidence from the idea of using firebending to create life and I love it I love this show so much.
I’ve said this roughly 1,000 times on this blog, but I think this show is a masterpiece of narrative. They establish characters and cultures that any other show would codify and then turn their own concept on its ear in believeable ways time and time again. Really exceptional.
they revisted again in korra when they had an airbender villain, earthbender villain, nonbender villain and a villain counterpart to the avatar itself

hey guys unpopular opinion but you’re not a bad person if you don’t care about every bad thing happening in the world all the time, or if you do care but you’re not constantly reblogging posts spreading awareness and information
it’s okay if you’re just on tumblr to have fun and reblog things you like or that make you happy.
humans aren’t made to process trauma and suffering on a worldwide scale without any breaks whatsoever & the internet has created an unprecedented access to bad news so please never feel guilty for scrolling past it because you can’t process it! and you’re not doing anything wrong & there’s no need to feel guilty
