Green Kinstone:  Green kinstones are the base model for Kinstone fusion. Combing one of Link’s pieces with a person’s piece from around Hyrule usually unlocks a minor treasure or a new opportunity for adventure, often in the form of a rarer Kinstone piece for more fusing. Link can find these Kinstone pieces while by cutting grass. Slaying enemies, digging holes, and anywhere else he’d normally find a rupee or a heart.

Find a flower, gone to seed

Make a wish and fate may heed

Intention’s power, vision’s clear

So many fish and beggars cheer

-

I often say, “if wishes were fishes…” assuming people know the phrase, “If wishes were fishes, we’d all swim in riches. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” Many don’t, but now you do.

Go find a dandelion and make a wish, you never know if it may came true.

Okay so no joke, and a bit of a flex here, but it turns out people like to gift my Johnny stuff? And really cool stuff too! So I thought let's keep an inventory! With the shenanigans he get up to, you never know when something could come in handy. So here it is. The inventory.

I. A piece of the moon!!! [ From: Supes / @big-blue-of-tomorrow ]

II. Inspired from Alice in Wonderland, somebody got John an 'Eat Me' cake and a 'Drink Me' vial. Except the cake makes you get smaller and the drinks makes you get taller. Effects are limited to 24 hours after ingestion. [ From: me, lol ]

III. A fancy schmancy sleeping gown. [ From: @chlaurine ]

IV. The Holy Shotgun from the Constantine movie: a firearm constructed out of "Holy Relics", firing gold rifled slugs. It also has the "Dragon's Breath" flame thrower mounted beneath the barrel. [ From: Zee / @darkzatanna ]

V. Worm on a string for Silky and a voucher for a dinner at a Peruvian place. [ From: @ink-29 ]

VI. A birthday!pack of Silk Cuts. [ From: anonymous :( ]

VII. A miniaturized portal device, capable of interdimensional travel. [ From: @chlaurine ]

VIII. Kagutsuchi's liquid breath — the item is about the size of a champagne bottle and contains a magical liquid fire granting some pyrokinesis abilities. Drink too much and you'll burn from the inside though.

IX. A whispering stone from a foreign planet. [ From: Kyle Rayner (GL) / @art-and-andromeda ]

X. A massaging oil with special abilities to ignite 'inner fires' [ From: a succubus ]

XI. Special Silky: A sturdy scratching board, a laser pointer and some catnip [ From: anonymous :( ]

ps: you know the drill, if you don't want to be tagged, I can take it out of course! Let me know if I forgor something too!

Red Kinstone: Kinstones are found broken and fusing matched pairs of kinstones with the people Link meets on his journey unlocks boons, treasure, and new places to explore. Fusing red kinstones often changes something about the world. A person is inspired, a pathway opens, or a treasure appears somewhere else.

Happy birthday to you

My Kinstone drawings are mostly things to make wishes as wishing is such a core part of fairy tales. 

My older kid loves these drawings more than almost any other that I have made because they can play blowing birthday candles out and then they magically relight. Their love for these makes these drawings some of my favorites from this set.

If you can do anything creative. Share it with your kids early, they will be impressed and tell everyone about your amazing skills.

Bow of Light: A powerful Picori artifact, the bow of light can charge the cleansing poser of light into held shots with the bow that burn enemies of darkness. Link must visit the wind tribes village in the clouds by fusing kinstones, and then save a man from ghostly possession using the wind jar. If he saves this man , the next time Link visits the village in the clouds, the recovered man will gift him the bow of light. If he fails to save this man, he will die and Link will never find the bow.

It was another dreary day questing for the bow of light prophesied to end the 10,000 years of darkness, and then it started to rain. After all these years of danger and peril, what finally makes you give up is wet socks.  That is until the sky clears and you see a simple rainbow and you realize the bow isn’t some long lost piece of archery equipment but the belief that we can work together to make things better.

-

I’m still bitter about not getting the bow of light when I played Minish Cap. I guess I didn’t have enough patience and didn’t vacuum the ghost long enough to save the man and he died. I still think about that, even though it’s been almost a decade since I played that game.

There is so much going on in the world that I could and should comment on, but nothing prepared me for how ad it would be when you, your partner, and both kids get really sick all at once.

My life is a bit in shambles, but I’m hopeful things will get better.

Gold Kinstone: Like their more mundane counterparts, golden kinstones are broken into two halves and give some reward when the matching pieces are fused back together. Unlike the less luxurious kinstones, Link fuses the golden kinstones exclusively with pedestals and doing so u locks forward progress in his journey to the sky peoples’ cloud top homes.

The gilded goose lays golden eggs when listening to the songs of the enchanted harp. The giant that keeps the harp and the goose has no use for the solid gold eggs, but they do love hearing the harp play and they love their evening chats with the goose. The eggs are unceremoniously tossed in the giant’s midden which is the most valuable room in the realm, if you value gold more than friendships.

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

I finished the line work for all the items in Twilight Princess! It took more than two years to get that  hunk of inking done and I finished it last week! Now I get to color every piece and then I’m done! Finding moments to celebrate throughout long projects is the only way to finish long projects.

Dungeon Map: The dungeon maps are found in each of Minish Cap’s dungeons and reveal the complete layout of the dungeon, minus any secret rooms. Link can find them in a chest inside of each respective dungeon after solving some puzzle or overcoming some challenge.

When you announced you would enter the labyrinth to slay the monster and return with its treasure, your companion gave you a ball of yarn. The catfolk’s gift seemed odd, maybe all cats really appreciate yarn? “Tie it to the entrance and unroll it as you explore so you can find your way back you small minded fool.” 

-

If you are feeling lost, check your yarn path you laid down to get here. Oh you didn’t put a yarn path down, well then we’ve got some serious work ahead of us to get unlost.

Today is Mother’s Day in the USA. Not everyone has a stellar or even positive relationship with mothers in their life, so maybe check if someone is observing Mother’s Day before assuming they are doing something for the day.
