My absolute favorite thing about revalink is how Revali doesn't treat Link like he's special. I think an aspect of appeal of other link-ships is that people are putting him on a pedestal; my personal hc of him is that he wanted nothing to do with this champion business nor does he want to be in the spotlight. So then enter Revali who's like "who is this punk?" and I think Link would at least be a little infatuated with him because of it. Someone who doesn't treat him like he's the magic savior of the world and is literally just some dude would be a breath of fresh air for him.

revali & link being stuck in forced proximity to one another and revali helping link figure out what he likes to do (because he’s depressed & numb & out of touch with himself and revali is like “listen you can’t like NOTHING i’m going to be so bored if we have to just stand here and stare at each other for x amount of time!”) which ends up leading them to just exploring the wilds together and revali seeing that link is just as passionate about wildlife as zelda but in a different way and it’s like one of those disney montages where he’s getting to see the real link and link gets to feel more himself for the first time in years and it ends with them almost kissing but the moments isn’t RIGHT so they end up parting ways normally and neither of them are left disappointed at all that they didnt kiss. nope. nuh uh.

Personally I think Revali would be physically affectionate with Zelda. Seeing as he's a commoner (at least not nobility), he didn't grow up around the environment of "untouchable royals." so he's just throwing a wing around her shoulder or leaning in her. (one time he shoved her playfully and she about squealed with delight.) With Zelda, I think she'd appreciate a friend who wouldn't be afraid to be close to her or speak honestly with her. I think she'd find his attitude refreshing and he would likewise finding her interesting and accepting for his idea of how nobility acts. They just give me a very loving platonic relationship vibe

Biggest reason revali and link dont get along? both autistic in different directions

JUST LIKE THE CHARACTER THIS REVALI YARN IS GETTING ON MY LAST FUCKING NERVE

I saw so many good handmade things at the thrift store yesterday but the one that brought me to tears was the extremely well made knit swaddler. It had a zip (that was sewn on in a way where it was convenient and wouldn't snag) and little detachable mitts for the hands and an extra button so the zip wouldn't get into baby's face. Whoever made that really really loved that baby and their parents so much 💛
