I'm back with more angst!
So, I'm working on my crack fic inspired by my daughter, but this version of the five times Legend hated Warriors' smile has been living rent free in my head.
Ergo, I started to write it.
And so I give you: chapter one from Warriors' pov.
I recommend reading the other one first, but you do you.
Hope you enjoy!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/85839836/chapters/226897621
Anyone else wanna see Warriors done as an animatic in the Odyssey musical song "little wolf"? Maybe a shitty NPC and Impa is Athena? These songs live rent free in my head beside the links and I just think there's some awesome matches in it.
I wish I could draw I'd do it myself lol
I have been informed by my daughter it's epic the musical not odyssey lol
Wind is Not Emotionally Unintelligent
Every time someone says Wind is too immature to understand something, my soul shrivels a little. I get that Wind is the youngest of the Chain. And yes, there are some subjects like romance that he is not going to understand like the older Links would. Though how much any Link understand about romance and the like is another subject entirely. The point is that Wind is very emotionally saavy for a thirteen year old. He gets more complex issues than he maybe should as a young teen because he had to and also because he was raised to. Granny didnāt raise an emotional idiot.
In game canon, Wind had to deal with a girl who became a thief because she went from privileged to poor. He talked her out of a life of crime, and while yes some of his answers were silly, he listened and encouraged in a way that the girl felt seen and heard and accepted her new living situation. He dealt with his grandmotherās depression and heartbreak at the loss of him and his sister. He helped and stood by Tetra while she figured out her identity as a Princess Zelda. Wind is not an emotionally unintelligent child who doesnāt know what to do in emotionally complex situations. And heās a Link, so he may run into brick walls, but he isnāt intellectually unintelligent either. They just drop their braincell every once and a while.
In comic canon, the first real conversation Wind is shown as having is a deep one about the Kings of Hyrule with Wild. One where despite him showing some callousness in his wordsāone he quickly picks up on and regrets but also his father figure was being slandered in his eyesāhe shows how he understands the Kings of Hyrule in a way that Wild, because of King Rhoamās treatment of his Zelda, didnāt. Wind is also the one who brings up his own placement in the timeline to Time which is something none of the others did openly. And while doing so, Wind was very careful not to explain why the Golden Three drowned the world because he knew Time would blame himself.
So I understand that boiling Wind down to āchild character who doesnāt get things the others doā is simple and easy. But thatās some flat, uninsteresting child character you replaced my favorite with so that your favorites can have some kid to bounce off of. Wind is a child, but he is much more than that. Sure he has child-like moments, and he should. But he is not an immature brat. He had to scold the other Links for treating him like a child in comic canon, and yet here is so much of the fandom doing the same.
Stop treating Wind like some kid who would not understand emotionally complexities and backstories and motivations. He knew a girl in his game who was in love with a moblin who wanted to eat her. This ākidā has seen things. He is a hero in his own right, and one of the most empathetic too.
gonna be gone for a bit I need you guys to do me a favor and watch over LU Warriors for me
okay see ya
fuck that
NO!!!!!1
heās safe :)

The Links as Dog Breeds
So, I was asked at least twice now about my characterization on fics and I told them that, as a dog trainer with 20+ years of experience specializing in dog behavior, I assigned each Link a breed/traits of dogs and upped them to human level psychology.
As that explanation would take WAY too much space on aoo3, I'm posting it here.
Note, these are humanized explanations of breeds, not purely dog psychology, just the way I tend to describe to people to make it easier to digest.
And, to add, this will be my fun semi unhinged rant about my two favorite things.
So, without further ado:
Warriors: Rottie
They are the old school drover guardian breed. A well bred rottie is hard to provoke into a full attack, as they are intent on guarding whatever it is they have designated as theirs, such as their family (or originally, their farmer's gold/farmer themself). They are independent thinkers, take longer than many larger breeds to hit full maturity, and have that high droving (cattle droving) drive. They are quite resilient in many ways and have high patience and tolerance for bullshit, but once you've managed to breach that long patience, you WILL remember that this dog can BITE. They bond hard and don't rehome as easily as some breeds, as each broken bond means the next is twice as hard to build as the previous one. As such, a multi rehomed rottie often struggles to find a safe home, as they will need an experienced owner who has loads of patience and experience to rebuild that confidence in people. They are selective as well, and will take time to trust strangers, but once you're in that circle, you are now theirs and that means they will do anything for you. They can be hard to motivate, as they are meant to be somewhat independent to work better in their role. That DOES NOT MEAN you canāt make a rottie do silly tricks, though. You just gotta make them think itās worth their while, or have their buy in so hard that they will give you the moon if you ask for it.
Now, why is Wars a rottie? Because just like them, he (in my headcanon) was in the war too young, leading to some mistakes due to his immaturity making him not think as clearly as he should. Just like rotties, he has a bit of an independent streak and his biggest mistake in game was the scene after drawing the Master Sword. Guy was like āhold my beerā and everyone else was like āBut you donāt even have a beer what are youāā and almost got himself killed (or captured in my headcanon). But he grew up and learned from it.
Rotties do eventually grow up, after all, and if you have their loyalty and theyāre matured, you get a fucking amazing dog that will die for you. Wars has a high drive to move forward and is very protective of those he has deemed family. Most importantly, just like rotties (again, well bred, stereotypes of the proper temperament), he takes a LONG time of "fucking around" before he will make you "find out", but when he does, it's EXPLOSIVE AND DANGEROUS. Guardian breeds don't want to go straight to an attack, they can't or they leave their designated people in danger by a). going away from them and b). risking injury. But if you provoke them long enough, you will regret it and they have the bite power to make you never forget that you crossed a line. Combine that with amazing muscle in an oddly short dog that makes them weigh in at usually 100 + lbs, higher tolerance for pain, and extreme loyalty as well as a tendency to judge and mistrust first, you get Warriors.
Legend: pre-dachshund
Small working breed, with terrier characteristics. Personally? I think he leans towards a pre-dachshund. Why a dachshund? Well, if you go into the history of the breed, these fuckers are INTENSE. There's a reason they are high on the bite list of breeds. Now we are talking proto dachshund, which were the ones famous for the badger hunting before the breed became more streamlined, though there are arguments they actually originally WERE bred for badger/wolverine hunting, or if that happened later. Regardless, they STEM from it that original dog that was meant to do so, or they eventually were bred into that role, which is the version weāre speaking of now. Now, this breed (and terrier types) are meant to strike faster. When we breed dog traits, we mess around with the predatory chain: spot, stalk, chase, grab, bite, kill, eat/destroy. So with terrier types, think ratting dogs like jack russels, (or a dog meant to go into a small place and attack a wolverine/badger!) we gotta get rid of stalk. No one is stalking a badger in its home, and if you try to stalk a rat (as a dog) it's gonna get away. You see the target? You RUN THAT FUCKER DOWN AND KILL. So their chain is spot CHASEGRABBITEKILL and yes, I did put those together for a reason. At your own risk, google a jack russel doing its job in a barn. Itās bloody, itās nasty, itās beautiful in its efficiency. Those dogs go and kill drop kill drop kill drop until thereās nothing left.
Why did I put Legend here? He's the veteran. He's had too many adventures to hesitate when shit hits the fan. He's also got purse dog complex, (not the real name, I forget the actual term if there even is one, itās a me term), shorthand for a behavior issue I run into all the time wherein the dog owner doesn't allow their small dog to be a dog. They are often treated as accessories, picked up when they get a little too "spicy" aka jump jump bark bark bite bite. It makes them have a lot of complex emotions and an inability to fully regulate said emotions because YOU NEVER LET THEM LEARN.
This is often compounded by another fake name small dog issue which I call "just a little guy" syndrome (I swear I'm a professional lmao) which is that, when you are SMALL, and you tell someone NO, they don't often hear the first polite "hey, can you please not do that?" What do I mean? A small dog, say my bichon, he doesn't wanna be stepped on, right? Because small. I have two other dogs, one I call a dingo (she looks like a fucking dingo I swear!) and one who is a lab/pit mix (mostly lab in temperament). A well socialized dog with solid temperament (my dingo girl) will see the initial "hey don't do that" polite way of asking a dog to slow the fuck down back up give me space etc, often a subtle lip lift, a light rising of the fur along the back of the neck, a slight stiffening in the tail and ears. Tiny little movements that can come and go in a "blink and you miss it" moment. They will see it, realize that dog is saying "hey give me space" and back up. My bichon and my dingo NEVER get loud, because she reads him like a book and is NOT a clumsy drunk bull in a china shop, but actually quite graceful at avoiding stepping on little guys.
A poorly socialized dog (my street rat trash panda lab/pittie whom I love but did NOT own as a puppy and unlike my dingo, did NOT get adopted before her initial adolescence hit, but thatās why I took her and I love her, because I love all my problem children, thatās why I adopt them!) will ignore subtle signals and continue to push, which can lead to conflict.
But a common issue in little guys is that they are LITTLE. So unless the bigger dog is exceptionally good at impulse control or at reading little guys, they will often not notice the subtle signs, which, over time, builds in the "little guy" problem I mentioned, wherein the little guy will no longer politely say "Hey, can you back off please" but will instead go straight to "HEY BACK OFF" in a louder, more "aggressive" (it appears aggressive, it is NOT aggression) air snap, bark growl, like BIG signals for little guys. This either results in getting the space they asked for (which is my bichon with my lab/pit bc I managed it early on and she realized sheās a big doofus with no grace and needs him to talk just a bit louder and she will respect, sheās a head full of nothing but love lol), as the big dog sometimes literally doesn't really notice the size difference and WILL body a little guy, OR it causes a conflict because essentially big dog was (in its mind) just walking, accidentally steps on little guy and little guy tells him to BACK THE FUCK OFF in a really rude voice, meaning it might escalate into a dangerous situation, leaving the little guy now facing the consequences of his actions (one of my jobs is to help people bring peace in multi sized dog households with conflict, regardless of the extent/severity of said conflict)
What is Legend if not a quick to attack when in danger, emotionally stunted due to being thrown into adventure after adventure with no real breathing room at too young an age, quick to snap back when needing space, sometimes going too far when pushed into a corner (stepped on), highly driven little guy who is often underestimated by those around him?
Hyrule (Rulie): Arabian greyhound
Rulie is an older version of a sighthound (Most will think racing greyhounds, whippets, salukis) but I'm not talking about those. Iām talking OLD versions. Similar to dachshunds, there are breeds of sighthounds, some of which are extinct btw, that are quite a bit different than our fun greyhounds of today. One in particular I like for Rulie is the Arabian greyhound. These are NOT fragile dogs. They have endurance for days, do well on less water (or rather, better than other dogs please give your dogs ample water), and are much tougher and thicker than your western greyhound types, so if you're assuming sight hound equals fragile, you'll be proven wrong with these guys.
Well socialized ones are very loving to their family, but aloof and reserved with strangers. Just like rotties, you gotta get their buy in or they aren't having it. Unlike rotties, they are less forgiving for you coming on too strong, taking longer to regain that trust. I'm a fear free/force free trainer, but even a "balanced" trainer should know, harsher training methods with any sighthound is a NO NO. They do NOT respond well to loud corrections, even just verbal ones, and WILL shut down on you, once again requiring a lot of time and patience to regain that trust.
They are hunters and unlike our western greyhounds, who do well in apartments with proper training and enrichment, they are watch dogs. They were also once guard dogs, at least to those they cared for/were assigned to. They do not do well in small areas, as they are made to roam, unlike our western racing greyhounds who are happy with a shorter walk, some indoor enrichment, couch cuddles, and an occasional āput me in a field and watch me hit 40 miles an hour in less than 2 secondsā (I should know, I owned a retired racer, rip my greyhound, you had a long, well lived life). Honestly, love racetrack hounds for beginner dog owners, or people who want a dog that is actually a lazy indoor cat in disguise (they really are 40mph couch potato goofy guys). That aināt Rulie, though. Rulie is old school (ha! I didnāt even mean to make that joke!)
Rulie is nomadic and a survivor. He's small, but stronger than he appears. Don't let those doe eyes fool you, just as you shouldn't let the stereotypes of sighthounds fool you when looking at those older hound breeds like the Arabian. He loves his people, but don't come in hot, or you will lose your buy in. Rulie is not ready to immediately be your friend, nor does he appreciate you pushing that onto him, but if you respect him first, give him time to information gather and have his space, he will love you to the end of the world. He loves his people, but do not yell at him, he will struggle to handle it. On the flip side of that, do not yell at HIS people, or you will suddenly find that dog does indeed bite.
Fast, adaptable, and loyal, as well as very affection and caring for his family, but somewhat aloof/distrusting of strangers, coming off reserved if you don't know how to read him, our little Rulie is an old school sighthound (Arabian is my favorite for it though.)
Wind: the keeshond
Hear me out! I know itās not a water breed! Letās talk keeshonds. Playful guys, agile, quick reflexes and jumps for days. They are smart, love people and are eager to please. And, if I havenāt convinced you yet, hear me out, they are little shits.
What do I mean? I mean they are little guys who have too much brain, too much curiosity, and too much energy that if you donāt give them a job, theyāre gonna find a job, and you probably wonāt like what they decide to do.
They are velcro dogs. If you are family to them, youād better close the door to the bathroom or theyāre sticking their nose in, offering to āhelpā and āaskingā you whatās going on that you felt the need to leave them out of the fun (of literally shitting, btw, they just NEED to know why they arenāt IN there with YOU).
Hold on, Iām not done. They are very empathetic and great therapy dogs. They are sensitive to emotions and get very clingy if they sense you are having a hard time. If you are their āpersonā, they will wait for you even if there are others there to play with, because you absolutely must need them, right?
I got more for ya. They have a bark. Okay, I know, all dogs bark (not actually true, basenjis yodel, nova scotia tolling dogs scream, look it up lmao). If they see something, they will say something. And youāre thinking, ah, yes, a guard dog.
FUCK NO. Theyāll let you know someone is here, but if you donāt act like that person is a problem, then guess what? NEW FRIEND SHAPE HAS BEEN ACQUIRED. And they LOVE to bark. They are yappers, and it can be a problem if not managed, ie do not put them outside and ignore them and expect silence. They will make their complaints KNOWN to the WHOLE neighborhood.
Do you get it? I know itās not a waterbreed. I KNOW. But, other than clearly having one of the WORST coats for water, keeshonds are WIND! Also hear me out: Wind, in his game, doesnāt really...swim that well. He doesnāt dive. His endurance is shit.
He may be our little pirate, but heās NOT a swimmer. So does he really need to be a water breed? In my humble opinion, no.
Wind is an intelligent little shit who will complain loudly when done dirty, will find a job if you donāt give him one, and who wants to know EVERYTHING his favorite people are doing all the time. Also, many strangers are friend shaped and how can he be blamed for that?
Sky: Irish Wolfhound
Wtf, right? Why not WOLFIE? Well, let me go over it and defend myself here. Now, Sky is NOT a giant by any means, so thatās not what weāre here for.
But, let me sell you on Sky as a wolfhound. They are intelligent, reserved, and often introverted. That does NOT translate to shy, mind you, but it means theyāre quiet. They have STRONG family bonds and do not like to be separated from them, or they may become depressed or destructive.
The adage for wolf hounds is āgentle when stroked, fierce when provoked.ā Who does that remind you of? Motherfucking Sky the Godkiller. Wolfhounds were bred as guardians, yes, but theyāre not territorial. They are family-torial (Okay, that one was bad, moving on).
Strong loyalty, patience for days, devout to a fault, and all the love to give. How is that NOT Sky? Here me out again: unlike MANY guardian breeds, guess what? Fucking wolfhounds ALSO see people as FRIEND SHAPED. (Though being big some people are like oh hail no which, fair, I guess? Idk, Iām never scared of dogs, just cautious when I can tell theyāre in a bad way). Theyāre sensitive giants, very aware of the emotions of those they love. But unlike the keeshonds, they can also tell when youāre a bad seed and they WILL side eye the FUCK out of you until you prove them right about your shady as fuck ways.
DO NOT FUCK WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. They are GIANTS. They are POWERFUL. If you decide you wanna fuck around and find out with THEIR FAMILY??? You will meet the God Killer.
Four: border collie
Four was genuinely hard to pin down for me. On the whole, I lean towards border collie, specifically WORKING LINES. Yes, there is a difference. Whatās the difference? Do you really want to get me on border collies, one of my all time favorite breeds Iāll likely never be able to own due to my far too in depth knowledge of them telling me Iāll never have time to do one justice?
Okay, shorthand. You have four main border collies: showline (bred mostly for aesthetics, still challenging dogs), agility/sports (all about that speed babyyyy), companion line (work+pet means training is easy, maintaining is hard), and my working line baby. These, by the way, are NOT actually different breeds, just different temperaments and some aesthetics (especially comparing working to show) will differ. Do not let someone lie to you and say they're different breeds. It's bred for PURPOSE and TEMPERAMENT, not a special "sporting border collie" breed.
Did I pick a breed that specifically has four categories because of Four? Not on purpose.
Does it fucking fit?
Yes.
Yes it does.
I could even argue for the colors individually to some (moderate) extent based on the lines, but on the whole, I lean working.
Okay, working line: highest of energy. That does NOT equate HYPER. That means they WORK WORK WORK and WANT TO WORK. They are INTENSE. They do farms for HOURS a day, covering fucking so much distance, singling out individual sheep and doing parkour off trees and sheep backs if itās the most efficient method to get the job done. In our previous discussion of the predatory chain, borders are bred to spot, STALK, STALK, STALK, light chase, ideally NO grab, NO bite, NO kill *some dogs get bitey, dogs that go further than nips are generally not bred due to it being very bad for work.
What does that mean? Well first, hilariously, it was done to mimic wolves. Sheep are dumb, yo. Iāll defend livestock all day, but sheep are dumb. So they see āwolfā they do whatever āwolfā says, which is how the herding works. But it also means borders WATCH. They OBSERVE. They PLAN and COORDINATE with the farmer, the other dogs, and sometimes other guardian breeds!
OMG whoās good at COORDINATING and WATCHING and WAITING and PLANNING?
Motherfucking Four, our small boy with the drive of four other, also small boys.
On a lark, if I categorize the colors, Iād go with: Vio is working line, Red is companion line, Green is show line, and Blue is Sport/agility line. Why? Because Vio is the drive, Red is the āstop and smell the flowersā calm boy but still intelligent, Green is the most balanced and has the "traditional garb" of the hero, hence "showline", and Blue is intense as fuck but not necessarily in the most productive way, and of the four, most likely to show off.
Four is a border collie, working line. Itās also why heās so hard for me to write. I LOVE borders, am border(ha!)line obsessed, but I also know so much about them that I KNOW I literally donāt have time for them and thatās how I feel about Four. Heās hard for me because heās just so...border collie!
Wild: husky
Yup, going with husky. Okay, now letās get into it. First of all, howling. These pups be WILD. They are escape artists. I owned one as a kid and that dog made us have the most absurd fence system ever. Let me paint you a word picture:
6 foot chain link fence, concrete in the ground over 2 feet deep, chicken wire at an angle (to prevent CLIMBING THE GODDAMN FENCE), cutting of any trees within 5 feet of the fence because, guess what? Fucking tree climbing and yeets! Six goddamn handles on the gate because EVEN HUMANS FIND OPENING IT DIFFICULT GODDAMMIT. These guys will find a way and they will NOT return if they get out. They want to explore! They want to run!
They want to be wild! Do not try to contain these pups. They will become destructive and intense, and you WILL have behavior issues, and I WILL say āI told you soā if I knew in advance and shake my head at you in a ridiculously condescending manner.
They love their pack. They genuinely need their pack/people. They are filled with love and friendliness for these people, but also have some of the WORST impulse control Iāve seen in dogs. These boys see something and donāt even say āhold my beer,ā theyāve already tossed the beer and are doing it before it hits the ground. They need activity (and no, just running isnāt enough though they do LOVE it) and they need help focusing. Theyāve got endurance for DAYS.
These traits make them some of the most common dogs youāll find in shelters. People see a beautiful dog and ignore its needs, dropping it off as soon as it gets to be ātoo much.ā Honestly, low key hate them due to poor breeding and ignorant owners, not in that I hate the dogs (I did own some, yes, though as kid, so doesnāt really count) but they are too pretty for their own good. People have high expectations of a beautiful dog and are ABSOLUTELY not ready for their actually personality.
Now, who do we know in our group that has love to spare, loves his pack, poor impulse control, endurance for days, and is seen as someone he isnāt? Our boy Wild! People want him to be the knight he was, but heās not that, heās a beautiful teen with all the heart in the world, not the most common sense, a need to explore, and constantly misjudged due to who he looks like, rather than who he is.
Wild is a husky, through and through.
Twilight: Maremma
Okay, thereās some bias here. I had a maremma, Naga, one of my favorite dogs. Let me tell you her story and personality and you decide.
She was ditched in the shelter because sheād gotten a bad case of heartworms. She was two years old and 40 pounds when I met her (minimum weight on females is around 60, that's a THIRD of her weight too small and guess what? She actually ended up at 85 lbs so...) And I knew that, despite whatever ātemperament testā they did on her, there was no way to know what was inside. You canāt temperament test a dog that is not healthy. You canāt train away pain.
So of course, I took her. Why not? Letās gamble.
Soooo...she regained her health and turns out, severe separation anxiety. Good thing I donāt have to pay for a trainer (ha ha ha...separation anxiety suuuucks). Maremmas are LOYAL. Naga was VERY LOYAL. To a fault.
This dog needed to see me at ALL TIMES. You thought the keeshond was bad? Velcro dog? Naw, Naga was my super glue dog. She didnāt trust strangers. She didnāt trust FAMILY that wasnāt me, my spouse, and my baby (and she did NOT like people near the baby.)
Naga was a maremma with a history, trauma both medical, psychological and likely not well socialized. But once I started to work with her, I saw the diamond in the rough.
Despite clearly shitty owners (and likely a shitty breeder, as she wasnāt returned to one) that temperament? The maremma gentle guardian who loves their family more than life itself and will die defending them? Yeah, she was there.
Once she gained MY trust? She could trust those I deemed trustworthy. Was it two years, a lot of tears, so much work, and one of the hardest dogs Iāve ever owned?
Yes, yes it was.
Did I end up with a badass maremma who only went āfull maremmaā exactly three times, each of which was warranted?
Also, yes.
By the time I had her rehabilitated, a toddler could walk her (remember that baby? Yeah, thatās the one), my inlaws (even my father in law, who she HATED because he was a MAN who wore HATS, lol please socialize your dogs please please) could pet sit her, no problems. Strangers (think repairmen) could enter the house and walk on by, no problems. She wasnāt gonna greet you, necessarily, other than to give you that āare you a danger?ā look, but she wasnāt mean, either.
Once you were in her pack, though?
YOU WERE GOLD. THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THE WORLD.
Who, among our boys, is a guardian, a man who WANTS to love the world, wants to see the best in others, but has just enough trauma to be just a bit cautious, a bit nervous, when he sees a stranger? Who would do something ABSOLUTELY STUPID to defend another (okay, fair, thatās all of them, moving on) and would go full attack dog if one of his was in danger? Who has the kindest, gentlest disposition towards children (I did mention my kid was THREE when she could walk this dog, right?) and knows exactly how to soothe the smallest of puppies by making himself appear smaller and less threatening, but is often judged by his large size and intimidating nature?
Yeah, thatās Twilight. Twilight is my girl Naga. And he is awesome.
Here comes probably the most controversial, but here me out:
Time: Bichon Frise. No questions.
Okay, just kidding.
Look at that little shit up there. That's MY little shit, my little gremlin, my baby boi.
So I mentioned I have a bichon. Itās my kidās dog. She wanted a small white dog and small dogs are notorious for being from shitty breeders in shelters, so I actually had to go out and buy a purebred for the first time ever. (Yes, I mentioned a maremma and a greyhound, yes I owned them at the same time and they were awesome, yes both were from a shelter, and no, I didnāt buy the huskies, nor is this a "buying from a breeder makes you a bad person" bc that's a whole other soap box of "stop judging responsible owners who need predictability and start judging shitty breeders". Okay, throwing the soap box out for another day). So I got this little guy.
Well socialized bichons are actually pretty fucking awesome little guys. (And if socialized properly, won't have the purse dog syndrome issues, though "just a little guy" and having to be loud can be a thing that happens with any small dog.)
But this is about Donut and Time.
Time? He doesnāt have little guy energy. Neither does my boy. This little guy is a little shit. Heās a gremlin disguised as a cutie fluffy puff butt and he WILL trick you with his adorable eyes and he KNOWS how to manipulate those who donāt realize his intelligence.
My little guy is SO SMART. He is one of the most driven dogs Iāve ever owned, hands down. He adapts to the situation as needed, he can figure out a food puzzle in less than three seconds flat (or heāll fucking CHEAT and slide the fucking TRAY out from under the PANELS and call it āsolvedā). He will do any trick you ask of him and many you didnāt.
He is the boss of my dingo and my head full of nothing trash panda. Not in an alpha pack way, get the fuck out of here with your bad science. In the ātrash panda seeks guidance and reassurance, so I will give itā and ādingo is more of a go with the flow vibey hippy girl so if I say letās go this way she willā type of way. Heās the one to āboldly go where no dog has gone beforeā.
He needs to oversee EVERYTHING and has to put in his two cents. Am I using power tools to install a shelf?
Get the fuck out the way, Donut, this is literally a drill.
Are there fireworks?
Donut, do you really need to see them for yourself?
Have I literally never seen whatever the fuck that is?
Why yes, go ahead Donut, go check that out I fucking guess.
BUT
Heās empathy incarnate. If youāre down? Heās in your lap, glued to you. Going to the bathroom? Heās gonna be there, and if he had hands, heād hand you the toilet paper. Crying? Yep, heās there, too, giving you doggy loves.
BUT BUT
Did you open the dishwasher, intent on filling it with dirty dishes? Heās RIGHT THERE, watching, waiting for you to not look so he can steal a lick. Tell him to leave it? Sure, heāll do that all day.
DONāT tell him to leave it?
Well, you should have told him to leave it, or heās NOT gonna leave it.
Heās got the maturity of both an old man and a fucking ten year old child, and it SHOWS. He can focus for hours and he WILL demand bed time at 10pm. And yes, itās ALWAYS 10 pm. I have no idea how he knows, but he KNOWS.
Maybe not all Bichons are like Donut.
But Time? Heās a Bichon like Donut. A gremlin, a companion, a leader, brave, courageous asshole who will find what he wants and get to it unless you lay out a specific set of rules and he canāt find the loophole.
But I love him all the same, because heās MY gremlin.

Don't let those serious faces fool you: they are all idiots, and when working together, they're dumber than any of them individually lol.
Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because theyāre used to writing essays rather than prose. I donāt wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesnāt offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (ādialogue tagā just refers to phrases like āhe said,ā āshe whispered,ā āthey askedā):
āFor most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and donāt capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,ā she said.
āBut what if youāre using a question mark rather than a period?ā they asked.
āWhen using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless itās a proper noun!ā she snapped.
āWhen breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,ā she said, āuse commas.ā
āThis is a single sentence,ā she said. āNow, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so thereās no comma after āshe said.āā
āThereās no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.ā She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.
And!
āIf youāre breaking dialogue up with an action tagāāshe waves her hands back and forthāāthe dashes go outside the quotation marks.ā

Thank you
Oh my god thank you. No wonder grammarly keeps complaining about my punctuation when I boot my writing up into word counter
āØFAN JOY JULY 2026āØ
ALRIGHT FRIENDS, YOU KNOW THE DRILL!!
Please request your favorite fics in the comments or reblogs WITH THE LINK FOR THE FIC (please I beg you) of this post! Please donāt send me asks, as my ask box tends to be a graveyardā ļø
āØāØ I will be making a slight change to my drawings this year: I will be doing simpler, grayscale or flat color drawings with minimal or no backgrounds.
While I love doing the fully rendered drawings, itās so time consuming and not super feasible to finish within the month of July.
TAGS FOR THIS YEAR: Iām going back to just a simple tag without the year attached

HAPPY FIC RECOMMENDING!! šššš
Reblogging to comb through for fic recommendations later! Never heard of this challenge before but I'm excited to see it!
Linked Universe Angst Idea: for a numerous amount of reasons I know this isn't the actual case, BUT...
What if the young Time that Warriors met during the war isn't the same Time we see in the comic?
For a while, Warriors assumes that he is, and wonders why Time hasn't mentioned it, given all they went through together. He figures that maybe Time is hesistant about it for his own reasons.
But eventually, he works up the gall to ask Time. The expression that crosses Time's face makes Warriors stomach drop. He's met with confusion and not recognition, not relief or even anger. Time doesn't recall, or even know what Warriors is talking about.
It was someone else, another Time, somehow, somewhere out there. As the chain travels together, Warriors keeps and eye and an ear out, hoping to hear word of his old and dear companion in the different eras.
He doesn't find his answer there, but rather, in a conversation between Legend and Hyrule he overhears. They're conversing about the timeline, particularly their own branch.
Legend expresses a great deal of confusion. "It doesn't make any sense," he says, "If the fallen hero is Time... how come he's standing here with us now?"
"Well... maybe there was another break before Time broke off Wind's timeline... and..." Hyrule trails off, he doesn't want to finish his sentence, Warriors doesn't want him to either, he doesn't have to.
The Time he met, the Time that had spent so many dark nights wrapped up in Warriors's scarf, the Time who was so small but so knowledgeable, he was gone. He'd been horrifically killed in a battle and Warriors wasn't there to save him.
TLDR: The young Time Warriors met in the war was actually from the fallen hero time line. And therefore, dead.
I asked for permission to write a fic based on this prompt and it is FINALLY complete.
Here's the resulting fic!

I hope you all enjoy it, especially OP. Thanks so much for letting me use this idea. I had a lot of fun (and sorrow) writing it.
"What you wish for"
"In the War of Eras, Warriors had two brothers. By the end of it, he lost them both. More than anything, he wished to see them again. And finally, Hylia has given him a second chance. He's determined to make the best of it, even if one of them is too young to remember him and the other is different than he recalls."
Thank you @palmolli aka PalmOlive on aoo3 for the great prompt! I'm only a few chapters in, but here's the first!
Expect a lot of angst and very little, if no, comfort.
But, we'll see where it goes, as I rarely plan fics more than a few sentence bullet points.

Another fic!
This was supposed to be a crack fic and...well...it got out of hand as the angst crept in and the words wouldn't stop!
Please enjoy my fic!
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Coming up (hopefully) next: too much angst inspired by this post: https://www.tumblr.com/palmolli/815267723741446144/linked-universe-angst-idea-for-a-numerous-amount?source=share
But since I'm remodeling my house to get it ready for moving, it might be a bit and since I rarely plan ANYTHING with writing other than vague bullet points and "oh that's a cool/angsty/fluffy vibe" I have no idea how long or good it'll be.
I also have a secret stupidly crack backpocket fic I'll get to my daughter suggested that I'm letting sit on the backburner, as I know it's gonna be a complete crack fluff silly fest (I literally can't think of how to add angst without actually TRYING but then again, desert bus LU happened so...)
Who broke it? LU style
Okay, did NOT expect last post to blow up but yay! Glad ya'll enjoyed.
I see a TON of the Parks and Rec "Who broke it" cold open and I am NOT an animator or editor.
So, here is my (text only) version of that.
IF you animate it, PLEASE tag me I NEED to see it.
Time: So, who broke it? I'm not mad. I just want to know.
Sky: I did. I broke-
Time: No, no, you didn't. Wind?
Wind: Don't look at me. Look at Four.
Four: What? I didn't break it.
Wind: Huh. That's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?
Four: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.
Wind: Suspicious.
Four: No, it's not.
Legend: If it matters-probably not. But Wars was the last one to use it.
Wars: Liar! I don't even drink that crap.
Legend: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?
Wars: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Legend!
Sky: Okay, okay. Let's not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, Time.
Time: No. Who broke it?
Hyrule: Time...Wildās been awfully quiet.
Wild: Really?!
Hyrule: Uh, yeah, really.
Time: I broke it. It burned my hand so I punched it.
Twilight: I predict 10 minutes from now, they'll be at each others' throats with war paint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.
Time: Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.
Feel free to change characters as needed, this is just how I read them. I would LOVE to see this done like the others on youtube and if I could draw and/or edit, I'd do it, but this is my take on LU "who broke it". Please let me know your takes in the comments!
Anyone do the monkeys with the Links?
I'm still fighting with chapter 14/16 of Regency AU 2.0. I am never pre-writing anything this long ever again š
