"Más buscad primeramente el reino de Dios y su justicia, y todas las cosas vendrán por añadidura" ๑🕊♡🌷 -Mateo 6:33 `° TikTok: Suvinakch `° Instagram: suvinak_23
It's been quite a while since I last posted anything here, however, I wanted to start posting things about my Zelda BOTW AU, and among them, a new civilization I wanted to add, a civilization descended from the Rito and the Sheikah (through the Yiga Clan).
And as another interesting tidbit... God is in that AU, and some of you might be wondering, "Why?" In short, during this time I've undergone a great and positive transformation, thanks to God, and this is a way I want to spread His word. But please don't misunderstand me; I'm not some kind of "religious fanatic," "homophobic," or anything like that. No, I simply want to help break down the misconceptions (caused by certain people) that exist about God and those who follow Him.
Anyway, if my AU piques your curiosity, feel free to ask anything you like, from the backstory of each Champion (so far I've developed Revali's childhood, his parents' story, and how King Dorphan met Mipha's mother the most) to things about the civilization I've created: "Synx Village."
—What I WILL answer:
Questions about the AU, questions directed at me, you can even roleplay if you're playing a Zelda character, and you can also ask anything you want to know about what it's like to follow God, etc.
—What I WON'T answer:
Anything NSFW-related
—๑ Feel free to ask anything you want ( ´ ▽ ` ) (respectfully)

At first, it's difficult to surrender to God's will, but when you understand that His will is for something better than you had imagined, something that will be meaningful for your soul, you trust and know that He will always be there beside you, preparing you for the purpose He has planned for you
Something I'd like to share is that following God feels so... wonderful.
I remember that at first, when I began following Him, it was hard to let go of control. It was hard to say, "Thy will be done," because I believed that what I wanted was best. But even when it was difficult, God tenderly helped me to let go of control and learn that His will is always best.
When we learn to trust in Him, we know that we will always be okay because we have Him, and having Him, we have everything.
It's sad to see how some people drift away, believing that those who claimed to "follow God" didn't demonstrate it, but in doing so, caused others to drift away. I don't want that to happen. I would like to help in some way and let them know that those who truly follow God will never act badly, because those who truly follow Him reflect it in their actions
i struggle recreating the beauty the Holy Spirit shows me musically, with the limitations of my art. He always surprises me though, and i'm humbled at how lovely it turns out, despite me. but even so, nothing can compare.. nothing can convey the beauty of the Lord.
the most beautiful Being in the universe, our Creator, came down to be one of us and shed His blood for us. He knew we couldn't pay our sin debt ourselves, and He loved us so much He became the payment in our place. but death couldn't defeat Him and He rose on the third day.
it's only through faith in Jesus Christ and His blood that we're set free. He promises eternal life to all who believe in Him, and He's coming very soon to take us home. He is the only one worthy of praise; the only one Just and Loving and True enough to trust your life with. He will never betray you or abandon you. He has loved you unto the ends of the earth. don't wait to accept Him, time is almost up! ✝🕊
"And this is the way to have eternal life- to know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one You sent to earth. I brought glory to You here on earth by completing the work You gave Me to do. Now, Father, bring Me into the glory We shared before the world began." (John 17:3-5)

“I Am the Alpha and the Omega- the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I Am the One Who is, Who was, and Who is still to come- the Almighty One.” -Revelation 1:8
The marriage of Teba and Saki reminds me a bit of the marriage of the Apostle Peter and his wife, at least the interpretation they gave in the series "The Chosen."
Both Teba and Peter are impulsive, and although others see them as temperamental, their wives (Saki, and Peter's wife, whom they decided to call "Eden" in the series) know that they act that way due to difficult circumstances, that they aren't impulsive or stubborn for no reason. They see something in their husbands and know they are more than just "impulsive and stubborn" men.
This has made me imagine moments of deep conversations between Teba and Saki, in which he confides his worries to his wife, while she listens and supports him.
And while in the early chapters of The Chosen the marriage between Peter and Eden was strained due to Peter's desperate actions at the beginning to earn money and pay off tax debts to the Roman Empire, she simply wanted him to have more faith and not be swayed by it. She didn't want her husband to do anything he might regret. However, when she learns that Jesus called him to follow him and Peter had accepted, she rejoices even when he tells her that he will be traveling a lot and it won't be easy; she continues to support him.
And since in my AU (which I'm making into a comic) I also wanted to introduce God to spread his word, Saki would also be someone who supports her husband and helps him maintain his faith even in their circumstances, so he knows that somehow everything will turn out alright if they just trust.

Meet Teyko, a Philippine Eagle–inspired Rito elder from Thalor, south of Hyrule. A bowsmith and mentor, he guided younger Rito (including Kohmli 💚) with quiet wisdom and warmth. The “uncle you wish you had.”
A survivor of war, he forged Wayfinder’s Plume, a rare Zephyr-model bow, for Kohmli from memory. He passed naturally at 61, taking Zephyr bowmaking with him, but his legacy lives on every time Kohmli takes aim.
I sketched my first Zelda OC for the first time exactly today last year (March 28, 2025), so to celebrate I made this reference sheet! Indulge and here's to another year ^v^
Toyhouse link for Kohmli: https://toyhou.se/38518170.kohmli
Here, Raphica would still be a young Rito, a few years before becoming patriarch, reading the Bible with an Rito girl named Shira (they are a year apart in age).
She is mute, however, Raphica has helped her see her condition as a blessing rather than a weakness... Some years later they would marry, although Raphica had to prove himself worthy of his daughter to his father-in-law more than once.
It wasn't easy since he turned out to be Pinnec (At least in my AU, Pinnec is much older than Raphica and Vence; in fact, he met them when they were both still young)
Just to clarify, she's a character I invented, but she has her own story

In this Bible story (Luke 24), Jesus has risen from the dead and is appearing to various disciples. Two of these disciples (one named Cleopas, and another unnamed) are leaving Jerusalem on the road to a town called Emmaus, still sad about Jesus's death. Suddenly, He appears beside them and asks what they're discussing. They -- being supernaturally unaware that this is, in fact, Jesus -- wonder how this guy could've missed the news of the huge execution in the city, and explain it to Him. Jesus then travels with them for a ways, but they only realize it's Him when He breaks bread over dinner and disappears.
It's worth noting throughout the Gospels that sometimes, when people see the resurrected Jesus, they know Him right away, and other times, they mistake Him for a gardener or a random traveler. Jesus going around pranking folks with His resurrection powers is canon. Make of that what God wills.
In this cartoon, Jesus appears to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus and, instead of them being supernaturally unable to recognize Him, He simply puts on a set of goofy glasses. Maybe there's still some supernatural stuff going on, though, because I've depicted Him in His full glory with a halo over His head and a glow around His body, adding to the whimsy of the disciples not recognizing Him right away.
The flow of the cartoon essentially matches the marked verses (Luke 24:13-21). However, when the disciples are surprised by Jesus's apparent lack of knowledge about the recent crucifixion, the woman asks, "Where've you been? Under a rock?" This is an idiom that implies the person would have to have been buried underground in order not to have heard some widespread news. Jesus's reply -- "So what if I was?" -- is based on the fact that He actually WAS buried during the last couple days, laid in a tomb with a large stone over the entrance. So, by technicality, yes, He was under (or buried behind) a rock.
The exact identity of the two disciples in this story is not too important, but it's an interesting place where different interpretations open different dimensions of meaning. In this version, I depicted the two disciples as a married couple who share a resemblance with two other characters in my comics, because where one couple walked with God until their eyes were opened to their sin over shared food (Gen 3:6-7), this couple also walks with God until their eyes are opened to their salvation at the breaking of bread (Luke 24:30-31). This interpretation is borrowed from Dr. Tim Gray and Jeff Cavins (authors of Walking with God: A Journey Through the Bible). Again, it's only an interpretation, so take it or leave it. I thought it was cute.
In John 9:1-7, Jesus heals a man who was born blind. He does this by spitting on the ground to turn some dirt into clay, then He rubs the clay on the man's face and tells him to wash. When the man washes, he can see.
In Genesis 2:7, God takes some dirt and molds it into the first man, then breathes the breath of life into his nostrils to make man a living being. It's a beautiful marriage of humility and dignity where mankind is made of the same basic particles as the rest of creation while also being elevated over the rest of it by a touch of the Divine.
In this cartoon, the narrator, Boethius Clunderwink (a storied stage name) wonders if Jesus meant to harken back to one of His fathers in the action of using dirt to heal to blind man. In a way, Jesus was giving new life to the blind man, and as with all His signs on earth, this act was a way of ushering in a new creation, so it makes sense to refer to Genesis 2:7 as a potential parallel. On the other much more mundane hand, a popular pastime of earthly parents upon seeing their child get not-too-badly-scraped is to tell them to "rub some dirt on it." This might not be sound medical advice per se, but the idea is to encourage children get up and handle minor pain so they can continue having fun. It's possible that old St. Joseph encouraged young Jesus in the same age-old way when He was young.
Of course, this cartoon also outs Boethius Clunderwink as a potential logical and religious heretic, because the binary question he's posed falls into a logical fallacy called the False Dichotomy IN ADDITION to falling into the classic heresy of Nestorianism. You see, Jesus wasn't imitating God OR man. He was both fully imitating God AND fully imitating man.
Here I wanted to add a little information about her.
She is a Synx, a civilization I created for this AU. A civilization that remained hidden for centuries, but a prophecy from an ancient prophet made it clear that it would not remain hidden any longer.
She is a serene person, a follower of God, and tries to reflect Him in her actions, like the other inhabitants of her village.
She is the daughter of the Village Leaders, along with her older brother, Han Lin (another OC I'll talk about another day). However, she decided not to inherit the position of leader, leaving her brother as the heir.
There is also more information about her interactions with the champions, but I think I'll show that in a comic I'm going to make about how her village became known throughout Hyrule and the other civilizations of the other regions.
And the reason for her appearance is that the Synx's ancestors were descended from the Rito and the Sheika (through the Yiga Clan).

The three synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), each have a part where they list Jesus's twelve closest disciples, also known as the apostles. The lists are mostly the same, though the order and names vary slightly. Lets look at them!
Matthew 10:2-4
"The names of the twelve apostles are these: Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus; Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him."
Mark 3:16-19
"[He appointed the twelve:] Simon, whom he named Peter; James, son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, whom he named Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder; Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him."
Luke 6:13-15
"When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot, and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor."
Here's some things to note in the Biblical lists:
Simon-Peter is always first, and his new name, Peter, is always included. Meanwhile, Judas Iscariot is always last, and he's always specified as the one who would betray Jesus. Spoilers!
For Peter's father's name, I looked to Matthew 16:17, where Jesus calls him "Simon son of Jonah" or "Simon bar Jonah" ("bar" is just the Aramaic way of saying "son of").
Matthew and Luke list Andrew next to his brother Peter, but Mark lists Peter, John, and James first before listing Andrew, because the trio of Peter, James, and John is given special attention by Jesus.
James is called the son of Zebedee, and together with his brother John, Jesus calls them "Boanerges," or "Sons of Thunder," probably because of their boldness and zeal... or maybe just because they asked to nuke a Samaritan town (Luke 9:51-55).
Philip and Bartholomew are always listed together, because they seem to know each other before Jesus calls them, and Philip was the one who recognized Jesus was special and brought Bartholomew to Him.
Bartholomew shows up in the synoptic Gospels, but not in the Gospel of John. However, John mentions an apostle named Nathanael who doesn't show up in the synoptics. To reconcile this, scholars deduced that Nathanael must be another name for Bartholomew. This makes even more sense if you know about "bar" being an Aramaic name-prefix that means "son of." Suddenly, any name that starts with "bar" becomes a patronym (a name derived from the given name of one's father) rather than one's own given name. "Bartholomew" probably derives from "bar Tolmai" ("son of Tolmai") and so this apostle's name was probably "Nathanael bar Tolmai," but everyone called him "Bar-Tolmai," which became "Bartholomew."
"Thomas" and "Didymus" are the same name. Thomas comes from the Aramaic or Hebrew word for "twin," and Didymus comes from the Greek word for "twin." Because John's Gospel mentions both names, I mentioned them here.
In Matthew's Gospel, Matthew recounts how he was once a tax collector, but left his post after being called by Jesus (Matthew 9:9-13). In Mark and Luke's Gospels, the same story appears, but the tax collector is called "Levi" (Luke 5:27-32) or "Levi son of Alphaeus" (Mark 2:13-17). I skipped the Alphaeus part in this because it was too wordy, and might accidentally make people think he's the son of the same Alphaeus as James. I don't personally think they were actually blood-brothers, but it's possible!
Speaking of which, among the apostles who are explicitly related to each other, we have the brothers Peter and Andrew and the brothers James and John. Other apostles may be related to each other, and while many headcanons rage loudly in isolated corners of the Christian fandom, such speculations aren't super important for faith, history, typology, or fun. For example, I really like the case for Other James (son of Alphaeus) and Other Judas (Thaddeus) being related to each other, along with maybe Other Simon (the Zealot), but I wouldn't hold anyone to it.
On that note, Judas Thaddeus (also known as Jude or Judah) is called "Judas of James" in Luke's Gospel. Some translations say "son of James" and some say "brother of James," but the original is just something like "of James," which is very vague. What was his relationship to James? WHICH James are we even talking about? These questions are the gray area where headcanons fester and thrive.
Simon the Zealot is also called "Simon the Cananean." Some sources think "Cananean" is equal to "Canaanite" (or "from Cana"). Others think "Cananean" derives from the Aramaic word for the rebellious Jewish political movement called the "Zealots," which didn't necessarily have to do with the location called Cana. I skipped calling him "from Cana" in this cartoon because of this confusion, and simply called him "Simon the Zealot" for now. Here's a Wikipedia section on this: Simon the Zealot: Identity.
And then of course we have Judas, who's mentioned last in all three synoptic Gospels' cast lists, and who's always specified as the one who would betray Jesus. I swear, you betray your beloved teacher Who happens to be God incarnate and directly lead to His death ONE TIME and you NEVER hear the end of it!
In this cartoon, I basically just illustrate the list of the Twelve, combining the multiple synoptic accounts into one big cast list, except that, unlike in the Bible, the ending narration of Judas's betrayal is heard by the characters. They aren't supposed to hear it, of course, but it was funny to imagine Simon hearing that Judas would betray Jesus and preparing to react accordingly. Landing on a joke after such a technical comic is always nice, as it helps to soften the forced education. I did a lot of reading on this to make sure my list was as informative and accurate as it could be without leaning into any controversial or unhelpful interpretations. I certainly learned a lot while drawing it, and I hope you learned something while reading it! If I learn anything new after this point, maybe this comic will get a Tomics Resurrection when the cast list shows up in the reading schedule again.
