Any time I stumble upon a BloodyMary fic that depicts Simon as a parent - be it a fic where some traumatised child appears aboard the SM-13 with no explanation and duckling-style imprints on a very confused Simon, a No Astrophage a.u where Simon's kid is one of Grace's students, or even just your garden variety mpreg - everytime I come across a fic where Simon, for some reason or other, is responsible for a child, ALL I CAN THINK OF is this one snippet from Mark's playthrough of the game Tattletail that he did back in like 2017.
Tattletail: Give me a treat!
Mark: SHUT THE FUCK UP, you're gonna starve and be dirty till the end of your days!! You little shit!
Tattletail: Give me a treat!
Mark: NO!!
I can't help but think that Robert and the Z-Team would fit very well in a Night At The Museum AU.
It's still set in the universe of Dispatch: Robert gets a job as a night guard for a museum dedicated to superheroes, and tries to keep a distance from the Mecha Man exhibit - yeah, not only is there a life-size waxwork of Robbie senior, Robert's got his own waxwork and it creeps him tf out.
Mandy is the museum curator whose latest endeavor is an exhibit geared towards putting the spotlight on lesser-known heroes - ones that were forgotten by history, former villains who were never remembered as anything else - but is struggling to get anyone to take her project seriously.
The Z-Team are part of the exhibit, waxworks, statues and models of superpowered criminals from different eras, and Robert has to deal with them coming to life at night. The Phlebonitum that allows them to come to life could be one of two things: a) the Blazer amulet, which is part of the museum's collection and currently under study, or b) the Astral Pulse.
Invisigal is a real person, but she's on the run and using the museum as a hideout. She decides to troll Robert a little by temporarily pretending to be one of the exhibits, just to see how long it'd take for him to catch on (hint: not very. not at all in fact).
Waterboy is still the janitor.

This is absolutely gorgeous! I also got very flustered when I saw you gave me the credit for the idea.
I got the idea from your submission.
Sorry probably should have clarified in the post
That's okay? The only reason this surprised me is that back when I made that post the type of answers I got were something along the lines of a very dismissive "heh, someone's new to Tumblr" and I was. I actually was.

Unpopular opinion, but it's criminal to me how the fandom often reduces Hua Cheng to his drawings by making him an art major or a painter or yada yada... When this man's only interest beside Xie Lian has been canonically archeology.
Like his art is an extension of his interest on Xie Lian. But archeology? "Yeah I got bored so I excavated an entire city smothered in ashes, studied their culture and learned to read their language even though I couldn't hear anyone speak it." You're gonna tell me he doesn't like doing anything else beside art with this? Heck, I'd even argue that the fact he mostly does religious imagery of Xie Lian is part of his true calling which is archeology.
Also please how funny would it be in modern AUs when he has to go on trips for his job and he's just sad because he wants to bring Xie Lian with him, but Xie Lian has a fencing competition to come and his association voluntary work. Or if he tries to complain about work and Xie Lian is like "Oh it's that antique thing right?" and Hua Cheng has tears in his eyes trying to stay sane like "It's actually early Han dynasty which is..." and then monologue for an hour.
Also it explains why he survives Xie Lian's food. "You're an archeologist? Ha! I bet you've eaten a mummy once." "I haven't but I did eat a piece of cheese and some preserved pastries from the Qin dynasty once." "What." "What?"
Like you're really telling me this man right here would draw anything else beside Xie Lian? And make money out of only drawing Xie Lian that he would sell?? I mean maybe he could but he wouldn't. Meanwhile archeology is just as unstable of a job and a lot more funnier.
Hey everyone, I'm OP's roommate. Just contributing a few things to this idea which OP and I have been turning into a gradually more unhinged a.u.
Traduction française de mon précédent billet: Réécrire l'Amour dans Les Légendaires
Disclaimer: Tout ceci est purement Ă titre rĂ©crĂ©atif, et est tout simplement une maniĂšre pour moi de sortir tout ça de ma tĂȘte avant que mon cerveau ne cesse de fonctionner.
Jâai un jour dit que Patrick Sobral ne savait pas Ă©crire une sous-intrigue romantique, et que jâaimerais vraiment quâil cesse de les forcer lĂ oĂč elles ne sont pas les bienvenues. Une petite rĂ©flexion mâa menĂ© Ă la conclusion quâil y a, tout compte fait, un potentiel pour des histoires dâamour intĂ©ressantes parmi ses six personnages principaux; câest juste que le choix des combinaisons est un peu nul. Bien sĂ»r, il sâagit lĂ de sous-intrigues romantiques figurant dans un rĂ©cit qui nâest pas une histoire dâamour, alors pas Ă©tonnant quâon ne nous donne pas plus dâexplications sur les raisons qui poussent tous ces gens Ă sâenticher les uns des autres, mais il devient plus dur de suspendre son incrĂ©dulitĂ© quand on se penche de plus prĂšs sur les diffĂ©rentes dynamiques de ces personnages. Les mĂ©nages officiels sont les suivants:
DanaĂ«l/Jadina: Un setup assez classique de chevalier et de princesse, DanaĂ«l est venu au secours de Jadina lorsquâelle fut kidnappĂ©e pendant une mission dâescorte et ils se sont par la suite enfuis ensemble pour fonder les LĂ©gendaires. On nâobserve pas le parcours qui mĂšne ces deux personnages Ă tomber amoureux, plutĂŽt on nous fait comprendre quâils le sont dĂ©jĂ , mais malgrĂ© le fait quâils soient tous deux adultes et quâils se connaissent depuis longtemps, DanaĂ«l et Jadina souffrent dâune certaine timiditĂ© rĂ©ciproque. Il nây a de toute Ă©vidence rien qui ne les empĂȘche dâĂȘtre ensemble, pas le statut princier de Jadina Ă©tant donnĂ© que ses parents lâon bannie de leur royaume, et pas non plus son ancien fiancĂ© le prince Halan, vu que lâintĂ©rĂȘt quâelle lui porte est proche de zĂ©ro. Ils sont inoffensifs, mais leur histoire est quelque peu clichĂ©e, et manque un peu trop de piquant et de rebondissements Ă mon goĂ»t.
Razzia/TĂ©nĂ©bris: Alors quâils Ă©taient tous deux sous-fifres de lâantagoniste, Razzia a larguĂ© TĂ©nĂ©bris le jour oĂč il sâest rendu compte que câĂ©tait eux les mĂ©chants de lâhistoire, et est parti rejoindre les LĂ©gendaires. Nous avons lĂ affaire Ă un fantasme masculin tout ce quâil y a de plus grossier: Un type au physique disgracieux ne semble pas vouĂ© Ă trouver lâamour, jusquâĂ ce quâon dĂ©couvre quâil a en fait une ravissante ex-copine qui lui est impitoyablement dĂ©vouĂ©e, et qui mĂȘme aprĂšs toutes ces annĂ©es est toujours amoureuse de lui? Encore une fois, leur relation nâa droit Ă aucun dĂ©veloppement puisque pour des raisons quelconques ces deux-lĂ sâaiment dĂ©jĂ , Ă tel point que le virage de bord de TĂ©nĂ©bris nâa que pour seul mobile lâamour quâelle porte à «Korbo», alors que ce dernier nâa rien fait pour lâencourager Ă prendre une telle dĂ©cision, prĂ©fĂ©rerait largement quâelle ne rejoigne pas lâĂ©quipe et lui dit dâaller se faire foutre dĂšs quâelle lâappelle ainsi. Leur histoire me laisse un peu tiĂšde parce quâĂ lâĂ©vidence, TĂ©nĂ©bris nâest pas amoureuse de Razzia, mais plutĂŽt de lâhomme quâil fut jadis, et on ne lui donne pas le temps dâapprendre Ă connaĂźtre ce nouveau modĂšle avant quâils ne se remettent en couple. Razzia de son cĂŽtĂ© associe TĂ©nĂ©bris au mensonge, Ă la trahison et Ă la perte de sa famille au profit des noirs desseins du pĂšre de cette derniĂšre. Avec ça, dans quel monde ces deux-lĂ pourraient-ils reprendre comme si de rien nâĂ©tait?
Gryf/Shimy: Homme-fauve narquois avec un lourd passĂ© rencontre elfe orgueilleuse qui peut manipuler les quatre Ă©lĂ©ments. CâĂ©tait censĂ© ĂȘtre un petit couple chamailleur bien classique comme on les aime, mais ce nâest en rĂ©alitĂ© quâune Ă©pouvantable catastrophe sans nom qui nâaurait jamais du avoir lieu. Gryf et Shimy ne se respectent guĂšre, et par consĂ©quent se traitent ni plus ni moins comme de la merde, Ă tel point quâil est difficile de prendre parti. Gryf semble malade Ă lâidĂ©e de faire un petit effort pour communiquer avec Shimy, lui cache des choses et la traite comme si elle Ă©tait indigne de sa confiance, ou comme si elle Ă©tait une petite chose fragile, et finit mĂȘme par la tromper avec une autre fille quâil traite tout autant comme de la merde, bien que la fille en question soit, par lâironie du sort, bien plus fragile que ne lâest lâidĂ©e que Gryf se fait de Shimy (#ShunDayMeritaitMieux). Shimy pour sa part suppose le pire de Gryf par principe et rĂ©pond par la violence Ă tout affront, quâil soit perçu ou lĂ©gitime, et nous les lecteurs sommes censĂ©s trouver ça drĂŽle parce que Shimy est une femme, et Gryf un homme. Les choses ne sâarrangent pas lorsquâon constate quâil y a entre eux deux une disparitĂ© de pouvoir assez consĂ©quente; que sont Gryf et ses petites patounes face Ă Shimy, qui peut littĂ©ralement plier les Ă©lĂ©ments Ă sa volontĂ©, et pourquoi diable voudrait-il rester avec une personne dont il redoute la rĂ©action? Gryf est frĂ©quemment dĂ©crit comme Ă©tant «le plus courageux des LĂ©gendaires», et pourtant, sâil y a bien un domaine oĂč cela ne sâapplique pas, câest sa relation avec Shimy. Au point oĂč on en est, jâaurais vraiment voulu que ces deux-lĂ cassent pour de bon et tentent au mieux de redevenir amis.
Bien. Avant que quiconque ne tire de conclusions hĂątives, mettons cartes sur table: je suis une lesbienne aroace qui ne shippe aucun personnage des LĂ©gendaires en particulier. Ado, jâĂ©tais trĂšs fan de la sĂ©rie et pensait que câĂ©tait de lâĂ©criture de qualitĂ©, mais ayant grandi et tirĂ© mes propres conclusions sur Sobral depuis le temps, je pense quâil y avait peu de chance quâil fasse de nâimporte lequel de ses couples principaux une chose autre que hĂ©tĂ©rosexuelle, Ă©tant donnĂ© quâil a dĂ©jĂ utilisĂ© le wlw pour faire rire la galerie, et que le seul et unique couple homosexuel prĂ©sent dans son univers est un couple secondaire, deux femmes de surcroĂźt, qui se font espionner par Gryf de façon salace parce que Sobral est apparemment incapable de Ne Pas Rendre Ăa Chelou.
Ayant dit ça, voici donc les combinaisons que je propose: Gryf/Jadina, Razzia/Shimy et Danaël/Ténébris.
Gryf/Jadina: Alors ça, câest un couple puissant. Gryf et Jadina se respectent et se soutiennent mutuellement dâune telle force quâaucune dispute ne saurait venir Ă bout du lien qui les unit, ce sont les Meilleurs Amis du monde (nâen dĂ©plaise Ă DanaĂ«l, le meilleur ami «officiel» de Gryf). Leurs parcours sont diamĂ©tralement opposĂ©es, elle une princesse et lui un gladiateur, et ils devraient de toute Ă©vidence nâavoir absolument rien en commun; cependant, ils ont tous deux Ă©tĂ© privĂ©s de leur libertĂ© pour des raisons bien au-delĂ de leur contrĂŽle (quoique dans des circonstances trĂšs, trĂšs diffĂ©rentes). Jadina ne se gĂȘne pas pour reprendre Gryf quand il fait des conneries mais jamais de façon Ă le traiter comme un imbĂ©cile, et elle lui fait tellement confiance quâil Ă©tait Ă lâorigine le seul parmi les LĂ©gendaires Ă qui elle ait fait part de son exil. Gryf, lui, ne traite non seulement pas Jadina comme si elle Ă©tait en sucre, contrairement Ă Shimy, mais prĂȘte attention Ă ce quâelle dit et a prouvĂ© maintes et maintes fois quâil la suivrait jusquâau bout des enfers sâil le fallait â vous souvenez-vous de sa rage effondrĂ©e la fois oĂč il a cru que Jadina avait Ă©tĂ© tuĂ©e et remplacĂ©e par une impostrice? Ils ont Ă©galement un motif «la Belle et la BĂȘte» rĂ©current et non-insignifiant que jâadore, et auquel Gryf fait lui-mĂȘme allusion lorsquâil vient sauver Jadina de son exĂ©cution dans le tome 14. Petit bonus, dans mon imaginaire personnel Gryf est bi, et sâil a un genre ce sont les mages dotĂ©s dâune puissance terrifiante mais aussi dâun coeur dâor, avec les cheveux noirs, la peau brune et les yeux clairs (Elysio et Jadina ont plus dâune chose en commun; tâes pas fin, Gryf). Dâailleurs, ils sont tous deux de sang royal; y aurait-il matiĂšre Ă forger une alliance politique afin de sortir les Jaguarians de lâombre? Câest peut-ĂȘtre un peu tirĂ© par les cheveux.
Razzia/Shimy: Fait intĂ©ressant, ces deux-lĂ devaient Ă lâorigine finir ensemble avant que Sobral ne se rende compte que le couple Gryf/Shimy avait beaucoup plus la cote auprĂšs des fans - ce qui, entre nous, est une raison lamentable pour officialiser un ship. Shimy a un rapport assez dĂ©contractĂ© avec Razzia, lui montre bien plus de soin quâĂ nâimporte quel autre de leurs compagnons et semble globalement le trouver plutĂŽt attendrissant. Razzia de son cĂŽtĂ© adore Shimy et est toujours prĂȘt Ă lui prĂȘter une oreille si elle a besoin de vider son sac, tout en respectant ses limites personnelles, et dieu sait quâil a sur elle une influence apaisante. On peut noter quâils forment Ă eux deux la composante musclĂ©e des LĂ©gendaires, lâun au sens propre tandis que lâautre a la facultĂ© de se renforcer avec de la roche, je les vois tout Ă fait se faire des sessions muscu. Par ailleurs, le fait quâils ont plus que leurs compagnons de sĂ©rieux comptes Ă rĂ©gler avec Darkhell fait quâils sont en mesure de se comprendre dâune façon que les autres LĂ©gendaires nâen seraient pas forcĂ©ment capable â oui, Jadina se faisait frĂ©quemment victimiser par Darkhell, mais on sait trĂšs bien que câĂ©tait le BĂąton Aigle quâil visait; Shimy sâest fait torturer, et je ne vous parle mĂȘme pas de tout ce que lui a infligĂ© Anathos. Tout ça reste assez frais et mĂȘme aprĂšs la disparition de ce dernier Shimy ressent toujours une Ă©vidente et profonde rancoeur. Câest peut-ĂȘtre en partie la raison pour laquelle elle se dĂ©chaĂźne si souvent et si violemment sur Gryf, qui lui nâest pas vraiment en mesure dâĂȘtre lĂ pour elle vu quâil a dâautres chats Ă fouetter. Razzia, en revanche? Le ressenti de Shimy ne lui est pas inconnu, mais ses plaies Ă©motionnelles ne sont pas aussi fraĂźches, et ont mĂȘme fini par cicatriser avec le temps.
DanaĂ«l/TĂ©nĂ©bris: Une occasion ĂŽ combien manquĂ©e. Donnez-moi plus de relations Enemies to Lovers qui le soient rĂ©ellement et oĂč la fille est la «mĂ©chante». Je pense Ă un extrait du film Princesse Mononoke, vous voyez lequel: «Je vais te trancher la gorge, comme ça je nâaurais plus jamais Ă entendre tes sottises!/Tu es si jolie». DanaĂ«l et TĂ©nĂ©bris Ă©prouvent du respect lâun pour lâautre, mais leur philosophies sâopposent de maniĂšre fondamentale. Ils sâinterrogent et se mettent au dĂ©fi de façon assez posĂ©e et raisonnable, et je verrais bien une intrigue partagĂ©e se muer en engouement Ă lâissue dâefforts mutuels pour se comprendre lâun lâautre. DanaĂ«l et son idĂ©alisme Ă toute Ă©preuve pousseraient TĂ©nĂ©bris Ă remettre en question la vision quâelle a du monde, ce qui donnerait lieu Ă un authentique et crĂ©dible arc de rĂ©demption qui nâaurait pas jailli de nul part â Ă la base câest une sous-fifre qui est apparu exactement une fois avant dâĂȘtre vaincue en moins de deux, il y a quoi Ă rĂ©dimer, lĂ â ou qui nâaurait pas pour seul motivateur le Grand Amûûûr. DanaĂ«l de son cĂŽtĂ© pourrait se rendre compte le plus il sâentretient avec TĂ©nĂ©bris que tout nâest ni noir ni blanc, que personne nâest mauvais de naissance et que TĂ©nĂ©bris fut tout autant influencĂ©e par son environnement que DanaĂ«l ne le fut par le sien. A ce propos, ces deux-lĂ ont plus de choses en commun quâils ne lâimaginent, vu quâils ont tous deux grandi en lâabsence dâune mĂšre, partagent un passĂ© militaire quâils ont fini par dĂ©serter (bien quâelle Ă©tait dâun grade plus Ă©levĂ© que lui), et ont dĂ©jĂ eu recours Ă des extrĂȘmes pour le Plus Grand Bien â comme par exemple DanaĂ«l qui ordonne que Shimy soit mise Ă mort afin dâempĂȘcher le retour dâAnathos, ou TĂ©nĂ©bris qui justifie la mise Ă sac de Barabath comme un sacrifice nĂ©cessaire Ă lâunification dâAlysia dans un des flashbacks de Razzia. Petite touche finale, Ă eux deux ils forment la composante lame de lâĂ©quipe. Une partie dâescrime en amoureux, quelquâun?
Un dernier disclaimer sâimpose: ma rĂ©vision des couples nâefface pas, pour moi, les couples canons puisquâil est bien connu quâon peut aimer plus dâune seule personne au cours dâune vie. De plus, jâai toujours trouvĂ© Ă©trange que les hĂ©ros de Sobral aient parfaitement le droit de passer Ă dâautres partenaires ou mĂȘme dâexprimer de lâattirance envers dâautres personnages fĂ©minins sans quâon leur en veuille trop, tandis que ses hĂ©roĂŻnes pour le coup restent bloquĂ©es sur le mĂȘme boug tome aprĂšs tome pour aucune raison apparente. Je verrais trĂšs bien DanaĂ«l et Jadina ressentir une petite attirance due Ă lâadrĂ©naline de leur premiĂšre rencontre qui, une fois quâils auraient appris Ă se connaĂźtre un peu mieux, deviendrait une rĂ©elle amitiĂ©; Gryf et Shimy laisser leur attirance tumultueuse sâestomper une fois quâils se rendent compte que leurs tempĂ©raments respectifs ne sont pas faits pour sâentendre (de prĂ©fĂ©rence sans impliquer cette pauvre Shun-Day, sans dĂ©conner Gryf nâaurait pas pu choisir pire personne Ă mener par le bout du nez); et Razzia et TĂ©nĂ©bris tourner dĂ©finitivement la page et aller enfin de lâavant.
Rewriting Romance in Les Légendaires
Here's a link to the translated version if you only speak French: https://www.tumblr.com/igottakeeponmoving/792967811682172928/traduction-fran%C3%A7aise-de-mon-pr%C3%A9c%C3%A9dent-billet?source=share
Disclaimer: This is all in good fun, and is merely a way for me to get this all out of my head before Brain stops Braining.
I once said that Patrick Sobral can't write a romantic subplot to save his life, and that I really wished he'd stop trying to shoehorn them where they're not needed. A bit of pondering has led me to the conclusion that there is, in fact, potential for good romances among Sobral's six leads; the combinations he chose to put them in just kind of suck. Of course, these are romantic subplots featured in a story that is not first and foremost a romance, so of course you don't get a whole lot of reason for why these people are attracted to each other, but one can only suspend one's disbelief for so long when taking a look at the character dynamics. The canon pairings are as follows:
Danaël/Jadina: Classic Knight/Princess setup, he rescued her when she was kidnapped during an escort mission and they ran away together and founded the Legendaries. You don't watch these two fall in love, you are given the understanding that they already are in love, but despite their being adults who have known each other for a long time, Danaël and Jadina suffer from a case of what Tv Tropes refers to as Twice Shy. There is demonstrably nothing actually standing in the way of their being together, not even Jadina's royal title given that her parents banished her, and definitely not her erstwhile fiancé prince Halan, in whom Jadina makes it pretty clear that she has approximately zero interest. Not offensive, but relatively cliché and all in all pretty bland and predictable.
Razzia/Tenebris: Former co-Dragons to the villain, he dumped her when he realized they were actually the baddies and joined the Legendaries. This is a complete wish fulfillment fantasy; A not conventionally attractive dude has no indication of a love interest until it turns out that he has a beautiful, murderously devoted ex-girlfriend who even after all these years is still very much in love with him? Again, there is no buildup to them falling in love because they somehow already are, to the point where Tenebris's entire reason for deciding that she wants to be on the "good" side is that she is still in love with "Korbo" (Razzia's villain name), who on his end hasn't actually done anything to inspire this decision, would much rather she didn't join the team and tells her to fuck off every time she calls him Korbo. Their romance doesn't do it for me because she's in love with who he used to be, and isn't given nearly enough time to get to know this new version of him before they get back together, while he on his part associates her with lies, betrayal and the trauma of losing his family to her father's forces. Knowing this, how could they ever pick up where they left off?
Gryf/Shimy: Snarky beastman with a Past meets proud elf who can merge with the four elements. Is meant to be your run-of-the-mill bickering old married couple, is in fact an absolute dumpster fire that never should have happened. Gryf and Shimy don't appear to respect one another at all, and consequently treat each other like absolute crap, to the point where neither of them comes out of it looking better than the other. Gryf appears to be utterly allergic to communicating with Shimy to the point where he keeps her in the dark about a lot of things and generally treats her like she's unworthy of his trust, or like she's fragile, and winds up cheating on her with another girl who he also treats like crap despite the fact that said girl is, ironically, way more fragile than he believes Shimy to be (#ShunDayDeservedBetter). Shimy on her part assumes the worst of Gryf on principle and reacts to any perceived or legitimate slight by physically abusing him, and we the audience are meant to find this funny because Shimy is a woman and Gryf is a man. This isn't made any better by the fact that there is a significant power imbalance between the two: what can Gryf's claws do when Shimy can literally bend the elements to her will, and why would anyone want to be with someone who puts the fear of God in them? Gryf is frequently referred to as "the bravest of the Legendaries" and yet somehow, dealing with Shimy is the one area where this does not apply. There just came a point where I really wished these two would break up for good and try their hand at being friends again.
Now. Before anyone makes any assumptions, I should mention that I am an aroace lesbian who does not actually ship any ships from Les Légendaires. Teenage me was an avid fan and used to think this was quality writing, and having grown up and drawn my own conclusions on Sobral since then, I think it highly unlikely that he would have made any of his main pairings anything other than heterosexual, given that Sobral has already been known to use les yay as a joke and the only same-sex pairing seen in his works is a side couple, two women at that, who get lecherously spied on by Gryf because Sobral apparently couldn't just Not Make It Weird.
Knowing this, here are the combinations that I propose: Gryf/Jadina, Razzia/Shimy and Danaël/Tenebris.
Gryf/Jadina: Power couple as fuck. Gryf and Jadina respect and support each other so goddamn much that no disagreement could ever make their bond any less strong, they are the Best Friends to ever Best Friend (no shade to Gryf's canon best friend, Danaël). Their upbringings are diametrically opposed, she a princess and he a gladiator, and they should by all rights have nothing in common, but they share a common experience of being denied their very freedom because of (granted, very, very different) circumstances beyond their control. Jadina will rightfully call Gryf out on his nonsense but never in a way that is meant to make him feel like an idiot, and she trusts him so much that he was initially the only other Legendary she apparently confided in about her banishment; Gryf not only doesn't treat Jadina like she's made of glass (which is how he treats Shimy) but listens to her, and has proven again and again that he will follow her to hell and back - remember his heartbroken rage when he thought Jadina had been killed and replaced by an impostor? These two also have a not-insignificant recurring Beauty and the Beast motif which I love, and which Gryf himself lampshades when he rescues Jadina from her execution in book 14. As a bonus, I personally headcanon Gryf as bi, and in my head his type is smart, kind-hearted and ludicrously powerful mages with dark hair, brown skin and light-colored eyes (Jadina and Elysio have more than a few similarities; I see you, Gryf). Also, they're both royals; potential for a political alliance meant to get the Jaguarians out of the shadows? Maybe that's too convoluted.
Razzia/Shimy: Fun fact, these two were originally going to be a canon pairing before Sobral realized that Gryf/Shimy was more popular with the fans (arguably a horrible reason to make a ship sail). Shimy has a more easy rapport with Razzia and shows him more genuine care than to any of the others, though she also enjoys teasing him in earlier books and generally seems to find him quite endearing. Razzia conversely thinks the world of Shimy and always lends her an ear if she needs to talk while also respecting her boundaries, and goodness knows what a calming influence he has on her. It bears noting that the pair of them are the muscle component of the Legendaries, he in the literal sense while she can magically enhance herself with rocks, I can totally picture them working out together. Also, the fact that the two of them have more personal beef with Darkhell than any of their comrades means that they get each other in a way that the others might not - yes, Jadina was a frequent target of Darkhell's, but the Eagle Staff is what he actually wanted; Shimy was full-on tortured, and that's not even getting into what went down with Anathos. All of that is still pretty fresh and even once Anathos is gone, Shimy understandably still has a lot of residual anger. This is probably partly the reason why she lashes out at Gryf so often and so violently, but he isn't really in any position to truly be there for her given that he's currently going through his own shit. Razzia, on the other hand? He's no stranger to how Shimy feels, but his emotional wounds are not as fresh, in fact they've pretty much scarred at this point.
Danaël/Tenebris: Such a missed opportunity. Give me more Enemies to Lovers that is actually Enemies to Lovers and where the girl is the "evil" one. I'm thinking that one scene from Princess Mononoke, you know the one: "I'll cut your throat! That'll shut you up/You're beautiful". Danaël and Tenebris are shown to respect each other but are also fundamentally opposed in their philosophies. They challenge and question one another in a relatively professional and level-headed manner, and I could see a mutual intrigue blooming into admiration as each attempts to work the other out. Danaël's unrelenting idealism would give Tenebris the push she needs to actually question her view of the world, which would give her a real, believable redemption arc that wouldn't come out of nowhere - she was a one-off henchwoman who got dealt with pretty quickly, honestly what was there to redeem - or indeed be boiled down to Doing It For Love. Danaël on the other hand could come to realize the more he interacts with Tenebris that it's not all black and white, that no one is born evil and that Tenebris was just as much shaped by her environment as he was by his own. Speaking of which, they actually have more in common than they think since they both grew up motherless, have a shared military past that each ended up defecting from (she ranked higher than he did though) and they also have been known to go to extremes for the sake of the Greater Good - like for instance Danaël deciding to have Shimy killed to keep Anathos from coming back, or Tenebris justifying the sack of Barabath as a necessary sacrifice for the unifying of Alysia in one of Razzia's flashbacks. As a nice final touch, together they make up the blade component of the team. Sparring date, anyone?
One last disclaimer: My reshuffling of the pairings does not, in my mind, erase the original pairings, because it's common knowledge that you can love more than one person in your lifetime. It also always bugged me that Sobral's heroes were allowed to move on to different partners and even express attraction to other women while his heroines stayed stuck on the same person book after book for no apparent reason. I can see Danaël and Jadina having a small adrenaline-fueled attraction when they meet that later becomes a real friendship as they get to know each other better, Gryf and Shimy letting the sexual tension fizzle out once they realize their personalities just don't mesh well (preferably without dragging poor Shun-Day into it, honestly Gryf could not have picked a worse person to needlessly jerk around), and Razzia and Tenebris getting closure and moving on from their past.
Notes on a BOTW/TOTK Atlantis: The Lost Empire au
Milo Thatch - Zelda -> it just makes more sense for her personality to make her the passionate scholar rather than the warrior princess.
Kida Nedakh - Link -> less an actual prince and more of an out-of-time wild child who was taken in by the king and queen.
Preston Whitmore - Impa
Commander Lyle Rourke - Ganondorf
Lieutenant Helga Sinclair - Riju -> much less overtly villainous than Helga, and in fact turns against Ganondorf pretty quickly once he lays a hand on the royal family. She's also not the one who recruits Zelda; Paya is the one who takes Helga's role in that particular instance.
Dr. Joshua Sweet - Sidon -> the Zora have healing powers and he is one gigantic sweetheart.
Audrey Rocio Ramirez - Tulin -> young airship mechanic. Teba was part of the expedition that found the Journal/Tablet.
Vincenzo "Vinny" Santorini - Yunobo -> because of the whole explosions thing, though the personality is drastically different.
Gaëtan "Mole" MoliÚre - Josha -> up the child prodigy aspect rather than Mole's overwhelming weirdness (given that Josha is the head of the Depths investigation team this just makes sense to me).
Wilhemina Packard - Purah
Jebidiah "Cookie" Farnsworth - Robbie -> these two are undercover as the communications officer and cook respectively and were in fact tasked by Impa to keep an eye on Ganondorf (all those moments where Packard is gossiping with her friend Marge instead of watching comms? That's Purah reporting directly to Impa through code); they take over the expedition after Ganondorf betrays everyone.
Kakeshim Nedakh - Rauru -> create a role for Mineru - makes more sense for her to become queen after Rauru's death than for Link to become king.
The Queen - Sonia
The Leviathan is either the Colgera or a giant Flux Construct. Maybe even a literal Divine Beast.
I am open to better ideas.
What would a "Legend of Zelda" space opera au look like?
Would Hyrule be one planet with a varied biosphere or would every region become its own planet part of a solar system? If so, would Korok forest be its own planet or would it be a part of the Hylian planet? Would the dragons be floating around in space ? Personally I love the idea of floating space dragons. Also love the idea of spaceships built using Sheikah and later repurposed Zonai technology. I mean, the Divine Beasts from BOTW and the various Constructs from TOTK are basically warships and robots so it could be done.

I don't know what it is about the Ember armor set and the idea of wearing it that makes me feel happy and serene.
"Last Night in Soho" is what happens when you take Dario Argento's "Suspiria", "Perfect Blue" and "When Marnie Was There" and you just stick'em in a blender. Thoughts?
