Red and Blue

New dream

You would if you were tired enough. You would if you were hungry enough. You would if your mind and body had been worn down enough, through pain or disease or toil or violent struggle. You might if you were put on the wrong medicine, or you got the wrong kind of head injury, or you were forced to choose between someone else and yourself. You might if your livelihood was staked on it, or all your hopes and dreams. You might if you didn't know what else to do, if it's what you were taught or if nobody taught you anything else.

History is full of people who would never. They usually died for it. But we remember them and honor them as heroes.

Zelink Week 2026 — Day 1. Entangled

It's that time of the year again!! All my drawings for this edition will have a common theme: Zelink babies!

Starting with a happy OoT family getting ready for the day 🌼

Hiii @3eyedfoe !!

Happy Sunkissed Gift Exchange! ☀️ I was responsible for your gift, and decided to go with TP Zelink at Ordon Spring like you had mentioned. I had fun trying to design an Ordonian outfit for Zelda!

Some Zelink sketches for now since I'm trynna get out of art block

Bonus

The silent beauty of this scene is so poetic.

They're not talking about important stuff for the plot. They're just enjoying each others' company in such a simple way. No need for talking. He's looking at Rapunzel and sees how she's living the moment, not afraid of being outside, not worried about her mother anymore or what will come next.

The thing is, there's this moment, a few minutes in fact, where literally everything about her life has changed all at once. Pascal is the only constant. Her mother isn't her mother, and is also dead. Her hair -- the one thing she's been told her whole life is her only value -- is gone. The only person who saw beyond the value of her hair, the man she loved, is dead in her arms. The only home she's ever known is a lie, because she's actually a princess. The world is not as dark and scary as Gothel always told her, although aspects of it are (still, most of it is wonderful).

Like Real People Do

Named after the Hozier song. I don't think they would ever get bored with the mundane things that normal people would have, without any magic, life or death stakes, divine intervention, bloodshed, or trauma. They'd live for moments that "real people" have every day, and living in itself would be novel.

Also? Rings because I can.

I made a speed paint video for this piece, too:

Zelda loves playing with Link’s hair. Braiding it, combing her fingers through it, messing it up and smoothing it out again… all of the above. And Link happens to like having his hair played with a Normal Amount so they both profit from this situation

THEY ARE BOTH SO TOUCH STARVED. even before the calamity they have so few positive touches with other people, but after? 100 years of no physical contact (aside from Link fighting things and getting injured)? They’re the snuggliest people ever

Like. They hug when they finally reunite (they’re both crying, Link basically tackle hugs her, they fall over and they don’t stand up for a long time because that’s Their Person, that’s the person they’ve waited 100 years for, they’re not letting go, they CAN’T let go) and then after that they just take every excuse to be in physical contact

Both of them have the crisis of “is this appropriate? Friends can (some kind of physical contact here), right?” Because they’re both so determined not to cross the others’ boundaries even if they’re not sure exactly where those boundaries are

Thinking about Link interacting with the kids in Kakariko and Zelda observing from a distance without him knowing and her being SO SOFT because she’s never seen him like this before

Link scavenging for every single guardian part he can get his hands on even when he doesn’t need them. Even before he knows why. And then after they reunite realizing that it was because he wanted to give them to Zelda, just so he could see that sunshine smile and the way her eyes light up when she’s making something

Link loves cooking for Zelda (taking care of her in a way beyond protection, giving her home cooked meals that are so much more personal than the castle chefs could ever be). Zelda loves watching Link cook (he hums!! When he cooks!! And there’s something so peaceful and domestic about it and she just melts). It’s a win win and the Hateno house always smells so good

Koroks crash their first date. They’re not subtle.

Everyone writes “they looked tired.” But let's look closer.

Here are some quick ways to show a character is neglecting themselves (without saying "they were neglecting themselves"):

• They drink coffee instead of eating again

• They never ask for help

• They keep wearing the same jacket even when it’s too warm

• Their phone battery is always at 3%

• Spending a long time away from others

• They say “I’ll eat later” three times in the same day

• Withdrawing quietly when stressed rather than seeking help

• Their place runs out of small things (soap, clean cups, toothpaste)

• Always late or overdue on bills

• They sleep in strange places because the bed is buried under things

• Using alcohol or substances to cope

• Overworking or staying constantly busy to avoid thinking about personal needs

• They stop replacing things that break

• Being highly critical of themselves while being extremely compassionate toward others

• They forget what day it is, but remember every obligation

• Lack of concern about their own wellbeing (acting reckless/stupid)

• They open the fridge, stare, and close it again

• Their laundry slowly becomes “the chair”

• Saying "I'm fine" to everything.

• Being the “listener” or emotional support for everyone else, but rarely opening up themselves

• Someone asks if they’ve eaten and they have to actually think about it

Those are some quick tips. Reblog if you want more. Idk if people like these. <3
