theyre like. the sword and the shield. in some ways literally - link the main defence hyrule has against darkness, and ghirahim is well, literally a sword. but moreso, they compliment each other in the ways they fight and go about their goals. ghirahim is aggressive, strong and trailblazing, not afraid to take anything in his hands and pursue his goals. link is driven, determined and forthright, and sometimes what is seen as his good qualities of courage is twisted into an arrogance much more similar to ghirahim, and i think thats contrasted well with what i imagine is the purer devotion ghirahim feels to demise. they have a sour and sweet dynamic, with a hint of each other in the self, and i think that makes them work quite well together when their goals become aligned. a sharp sword in the hands of a well trained soldier, and a protective shield with enough force behind it to batter and stun.

in your fic you posit the idea that ghirahim defected from ganondorf and cia's cause, and i think that could be due to the realisation that their values misalign with his own? cia is not honourable in her commandment, she does not ask for loyalty but instead takes with magic and mind control. and ganondorf seems almost goalless, a quest for destruction without the dedication or reason that his master had - a bastardisation of what ghirahim is truly loyal to. link and his goals isn't what he's after, necessarily, either, but it is the way by which link fights for it that captivated him. his loyalty and dedication that is admirable, and should ghirahim earn it, knows it will not treat him wrong.

and i think link, someone who undoubtedly has a very complicated relationship with a lot of the circumstances of the war - control, betrayal, the predetermined nature of so much of it and what is different between him and other heroes and what is almost sickeningly similar - i think ghirahim intrigued him at first. it is ooc, so to speak, for ghirahim to approach him. to like him. and that intrigue led to a nuance that was the perfect place to find love in imperfect people. it is what is different between them that allows link to find the similarities, and fall for a whole new world.

now of course this is my view on it and also the first time ive sat down and thought about it, so perhaps you approach them from a whole different angle and id love to hear about it! but. i think i like them. ty for opening my eyes

There’s no way in hell that Spanish Jackie doesn’t know why she’s called ‘Spanish Jackie’, it’s only that she doesn’t want to say why for some reason, and I would like to propose as theory as to what that reason is.

I think that Jackie is far more involved with the Siete Gallos than she lets on to Jim in ep 8. I mean, what are the chances that she’s married to TWO of them, yet has NO idea about the whereabouts of the rest? Pretty unlikely, I’d say.

More likely, to me, is that the rest are also among her (as of yet unseen) husbands and she’s either also one of them herself or she’s in command of them (or both). So her telling Jim they’re probably all dead anyway so Jim should “get over” their need for revenge is a means of protecting herself by throwing them off her scent.

And you might say “but why did she kill her own husband to avoid a fight with Jim, then?” Well, I think that’s pretty simple too. From what we saw of her interactions with Ronaldo, she couldn’t stand him. He disrespected her by calling her terms of endearment in public when she’d told him not to (ep 3) and gave her unsolicited advice about how to run her establishment (ep 6). From all we know about Jackie, it’s a miracle she hadn’t killed him already (even he thought so!).

So her killing him, one of the seven, seemed like an act of solidarity to Jim but, in reality, it’s just what Jackie was looking for an excuse to do anyway and, helpfully, doubled as a means of making Jim stop suspecting her of having any further involvement with the Gallos.

To celebrate, here’s a deleted scene from my soulmate au all of you, a verb in perfect view
