OH i Never posted my “Sheik vs. Yiga” animation wip, did I? I will probably not get far bc this is the point where I start really struggling bc I need a billion references to draw still, so it’ll actually prob just stay like this forever. Thanks Wushu videos, soul calibur, smash bros, and a bunch of random pics for the refs lol
So, this is from a fic I was writing a while ago that I just moved into a new doc while I was organizing so I figured I’d post this since I just posted a new Pirate Chapter so I don’t have much else I’ve been working on while I finish off grading for the semester.
I had the same crisis I just had now that I had here where I thought I’d posted more for this than I actually have, so here’s 3k words of an AU where Zelda and Link are childhood friends, and she’s out fighting as Sheik since she’s not allowed out as Zelda, and she’s injured after a big fight, so this is Link discovering she’s Sheik for the first time.
Just having fun trying to make this old one from October better! Clearly not doing clothes since i just made blobs lol but the profiles look better i think!
I... uh... meant to actually post writing yesterday too and not just my obsession with modding Stardew Valley to turn it into Hyrule HAHHAHA! So the below is a snippet from Dance with Me that I don’t THINK I’ve shared outside of Discord? It’s also my humble apology. I have SUCH writers’ block for all my fics right now, and i had to step back from a couple of small projects with others because work is just hitting me like a pinata, so I’ll be able to get back to them soon when I catch up on the irl stuff I am paid to take care of first, not the fun stuff I ACTUALLY want to do like writing 😂
Annnnnnd we’re back with more mods!! From NPC Zelda, to player zelda, hair, accessories, functional master sword with description Ordon adult and baby goat, and a cucco!!!
Last week it was Wolf Link, and this week we got Epona!! Next, I’m going to make another one of the dogs Bond from Spy x Family, and then I want to try to get the Zelda and Link sprites I’ve already made once into the game!
I haven’t done one of these in ages! Linktober kept me busy, and I brutally failed Whumptober lol, but I have been teaching myself a new skill: modding Stardew Valley so that eventually I can just change the whole game to live out my Zelda farming sim best life 😂
Ma’am you don’t understand how everytime I see a snippet or new chapter of Through Hell or High Waters I scream. Like- I turn into a giggling little middle school child kicking her feet back and while screaming into a pillow. It’s a problem. I go apeshit everytime.
heh, anyway. I was looking at the fic and realized I somehow missed a chapter?? So I was blessed with chapter 10 today 😌
OMG HAHHAHA YASS 10! GET ALL THOSE EXTRA CHAPTERS WHERE YOU CAN!! And also.............................. ask (sorta, even though you didn't ask technically lol) and you shall receive!
When Zelda arrived home, she was greeted by the deep bow of a footman who took her coat and closed the door. She sighed, huffing wordlessly with exhaustion as she and Paya split up; Zelda up the long stairwell in the center of the foyer, and Paya veered off into one of the servants halls to finish her daily work.
Looking around, it still felt odd that this was her home. Zelda was used to a grand entryway lined with floral vases and statues of the Goddess lining the walls, paintings, white, lights, windows; here, the entry had a red carpet to make it look grander, but also darker, in her opinion. The stairs took up the majority of the wide room, with a balcony above. The statues in the corner that watched her were ominous, imposing. Back on Hyrule, it was a home filled with memories of her mother: the woman who’d decorated it all and it had never changed. Here, it was clearly a display of her father’s prowess and power.
Longing to take her heeled shoes off and sink into her mattress for a while, Zelda took the steps, committing the creaky spots to memory so as not to disturb anyone in the ever-eerily silent house. Somehow, any sound that joined the ticking clock was almost blasphemy in itself.
But the house wasn’t quiet. Not today.
🎯 😅 annnnd 🤲!!! I need the wips!
🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which?
Yeah more than once! There's been a couple of good ones! There was some guesses in Alone, Unbroken, Kith, ummm I think the newer whump fic, trying to think hahahha!! But yes! This happens often! I don't like to hide major points TOO deep, so Im not surprised. I love when people guess and then I have to pretend Im being vague when I reply lol! There's one BIG plot point no one has guessed yet in Through Hell or High Water though and I'm just waiting!
😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?
I have a ton of scenes that I CRINGE reading that I've written, but I wouldn't go so far as to say embarrassed. I'd have to go with two of my first fics for this! Tale of the Hero was my first fanfic I ever finished, and it's......... not good. And then Idk what I called it because i changed the name to something stupid, but I wrote a Zelda one-shot from OOT in first person as an experiment to see if I liked first person fics (I don't), so I am embarrassed by those two, but not, like, "i need you off the internet and on anon" levels. I'm certainty embarrassed by some nsfw scenes I have that don't technically exist yet though lol They're just practice so they're..... not beautiful
🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?
HRMMM I'll give you some Through Hell or High Water! If you want a specific fic though, just send another ask hahhahahah I think I have a little written in just about everything I'm doing!
The center of the port where the execution would take place was clear and pristine, cobbled, busy, usually. But now, it was congested as carpenters built up rudimentary gallows to serve as Link’s execution site. The carpenters moved with far too much efficiency to be doing this for the first time.
They stacked wood and hammered away. She’d seen pirates hanged before, but she was often quick to leave. The ones who weren’t instantly killed from the short drop always had her looking away, regardless of who they were. Her neck would always burn with phantom pain of the sting of the rope burning her. But she’d never seen anyone drawn and quartered, and she was not looking forward to seeing it happen to Link.
Her skin crawled with gooseflesh rising up her arms as she watched the carpenters test a lever, a trap door swinging open quickly and precisely. Link would fall through that hole.
Would her father have done that to her if he’d known that she’d spent time with them? Sympathized with them? If he knew the things she’d seen, would she be corrupted and unsalvageable, or would she simply be sent away until she returned as perfect as Hylia?
“Miss Zelda?” Paya said, placing a gentle hand on her arm to break her from her trance. From her tone, this wasn’t her first attempt to get Zelda’s attention. Flinching at the contact, shocked by the voice, Zelda jumped, and Paya pulled away. “It’s time to go. The coach is ready”
“Right,” Zelda breathed, taking one final look at the death trap before returning to the carriage with Paya.
Today, she was finally able to call on Mila. She’d sent word ahead so no detour could be made without a valid excuse, and she’d prepared a time. All the proper way of doing things; not a rash visit as she’d tried to do before. No, Zelda was a proper Hylian, and she’d do things the right way.
My WIP for the ATLA fandom is starting to try to make the opening sequence with the main Gaang in pixels. Wish me a happy “this is going to take ages”
But hey, while you’re here, do you have an ATLA ship? Join us! We have pages and art and content and fics for as many ships as we could think of! We’re just starting out, so we’re small, and I haven’t been able to dip much into the fandom yet, but alas! We would love any 18+ people to join!
Is this me trying to draw Loid and Yor as Ace Attorneys? Yes.
Also, if you’re 18+, JOIN US on discord! WE ARE SMALL BUT FUN!
Trying to make the Champions in Wind Waker style!

So Zelinkers, I see you, there’s a space for us hahahaha!! Only caveat is that you have to be 18+!
I actually meant to post this yesterday but I’ve been so distracted by little projects I’ve been doing that I’ve COMPLETELY sucked on Tumblr!
—From One Knight: (forgive me, I’m on my phone and can’t format it the way I usually do!)—
He found a towel tucked against the wall, and dried up, wrapping it around himself while he looked at himself in the mirror. Yeah, he did look a bit tired. Grab some food and try to sleep, that was the best plan.
He ran his hand through his hair, fisting it in a clump, thinking of the sheers in his bag and how short to cut it.
“Your hair is so soft,” she said, running her whole hand through it.
“I was going to cut it when I got to the Garrison, before my new position. You saw it on its last day.”
“Oh, that’s such a shame. I like it long. But least I got to see it.”
Rolling his eyes, Link dropped his hand. It wasn’t even like he’d see her again, but his fingers brushed against his scalp and he could still close his eyes and feel her nails as she admired it.
But what if he did see her again?
Combing through his hair with his fingers, trying to neaten it up, style it, maybe, there would be no reason to cut it. No good reason, anyway… especially when he had one particularly strong reason to keep it this way.
This is a piece of a long oneshot I was working on that I actually just went back to so I could change the era this took place in to use for something else! So this is is the modern meeting of small-town Link and big-city-moving-to-small-town-for-work Zelda.
I might still go back to this one specifically, especially since most of this info can’t transfer to the earlier era I’m changing it to. I also haven’t edited it, since I’m just in the process of hijacking bits and pieces, so please excuse my dear Aunt Sally. No, wait… that’s not writing…
This WIP is from a year and a half ago, but I just opened up the file again to work on soon, so I’m going to reblog this and call it WIP Wed since I’ve just been in such a bad writing rut recently! But I had a surge of ideas for this specific WIP so hopefully this will break me out of it!
This…………….. is significantly smaller but Tumblr is insisting on making it huge and blurry lol (Edit: I stand corrected. It’s pretty normal on PC but on the phone, it’s blown up for some reason....)
EDIT AHHH IDK WHAT I DID BUT I MADE THEM THE RIGHT SIZE ON DESKTOP FINALLY!
