Well, this is a question I really like but, is there any trivia about any of your characters or your AU in general that you didn’t get the opportunity to share? You can list them here ^_^

Oh I love you

I had to think hard about this one bc damn what *haven't* I mentioned before ToT okay I'll do a little list I think. I don't actually know what counts as trivia and what doesn't so I'm just gonna blab about random facts lmao

~

- Vaie's powers are not infinite, if she uses too much of them at once or too much for too long, she will cease to exist due to her nature as a spirit (similar to how the Master Sword works,,, duh ig) But it would take a LOT for that to happen, and her "energy" regenerates over time whenever she's not using it. Or if she rests at a place blessed by Hylia herself (the Goddess statues/sacred springs/master sword pedestal(in the sense that this is one of those spots in general and not *just* for her.. if that makes sense)/Temple of Time/you get what I mean?)

- Every time her running out of energy was close to happening, the Goddess Hylia pulled her consciousness back into the spirit realm (the one Fi mentions when recounting the messages for Link in Skyward Sword, her "Place at the edge of time") into a deep sleep until her physical body recovers enough to function, and once it does she must go to one of those sacred places I mentioned to recover completely

- It's gonna happen again

- I like thinking about the way spirits work in my au <3

- Fi's consciousness is in Hylia's realm for most of the time whenever there is no need for a hero to wield the master sword. I guess she needs the extra rest to keep up with her darkness-sealing job lmao

- My Astor doesn't know how to swim. He's scared of deep water even. I think I talked about this before actually 😭

- Did I ever mention that Makil had a sister?

- Erith has the nicest handwriting known to man. Astor has the worst

- The Gerudo language is very confusing to Vaie, she always thinks they're saying her name when really they're just saying "vai" :((

- Erith is pretty good at cooking bc he had to teach himself to make his own food when his head bearly reached the height of the kitchen counter, poor baby :'3

- His father lowkey forgot his name a few times

- Erith actually didn't talk to his parents for a looooong time at one point, quite a few years. They only wanted to get back in contact with him after he started making loads of money from his art. Typical, lmao

- Nova's mother blackmailed Makil into giving her money to help raise Nova, she threatened to expose him in front of the whole cult. Yes he had to basically pay child support

- Mira knew about the affair for years (hard not know when her husband is incapable of not producing offspring that don't look exactly like him lol) but she never said anything about it, if anything she felt bad for Nova and her mother and she was always kind to them

- Those two gerudo twins I designed are named after Kotake and Koume, those two witches from oot, but a lot cuter ofc. They probably have a similar dynamic though hehe

- Erith went through a major identity crisis as a young adult, as one does

- Hc of my Astor quite literally pissing on Makil's grave after a night of drinking- deserved

- Erith didn't stop him

- Both Erith and Nova survive the Calamity, they go on the run together as far from central Hyrule as possible

- The damage and horrors caused by the Calamity made them seriously question their beliefs (I mean, Erith was always less serious about worshipping Ganon, he never really cared) but Nova had a pretty big breakdown about it. However... it didn't really change her mind in the end, she made excuses about it and found a way to blame Astor for it somehow. But it doesn't really change anything so we'll just let her believe whatever helps her cope better

Calling them roadkill because I also want to run them over with my car <3

———

Do they believe some individuals are inherently more important than others?

When do they consider someone no longer a person? If someone remembers nothing, are they still themselves?

Would they behave differently if they knew they were always being observed by a higher power? — (not Ganon)

Are they afraid of losing their memory with age? Are there any memories they'd like to forget?

Spit on him again and not in the fun way (no, I'm not elaborating)

[Do they believe some individuals are inherently more important than others?]

Y e s. Absolutely. Those people who are mentioned in legends and prophecies and everything in between. All of those people who aren't *him* :D he's salty af about it deep down and tries not to show it... unless he's getting plastered on the weekend and takes it out on his wife and kid 👍 or something. I suppose he just has a massive inferiority complex as narcissists tend to

[When do they consider someone no longer a person? If someone remembers nothing, are they still themselves?]

When they're no longer useful... well, no I don't think that's accurate, he sees people as people no matter what, I feel like that's more realistic. If someone forgets everything they've ever known that doesn't make them no longer themselves to him, it just makes them,, more persuadable >;)

[Would they behave differently if they knew they were always being observed by a higher power?]

Assuming this "higher power" is Hylia (or even the other three Goddesses) then no. I don't think it would change how he behaves. In fact he'd probably be happy about it because everything he's doing is one giant middle finger to everything she stands for

(why? Maybe he was just raised that way to believe everything Hylia stands for is wrong... ACTUALLY cult, help me out here bc I could never come up with a good reason for this cult to exist. Do they think the world should end and they should let Ganon win bc it would end Demise's curse or something???? I honestly don't know where to go with this..)

[Are they afraid of losing their memory with age? Are there any memories they'd like to forget?]

Probablyyyyy yeah, for him it's a pretty uncomfortable thing to think about, although deep down he may even hope it happens because he deserves it. As for memories he'd like to forget? So many to choose from. Some from his own childhood (not relevant, Makil. We don't wanna know) or maybe when Astor revealed that he went to the castle when he vanished for almost two decades. (Yay rebellion who would have seen that coming) He was sooooo pissed about that oh it was not a good day for anyone in that house ^-^

I like thinking about them

He wasn't amused... but he'd deserve it

Oh also

Staying on the theme of bad fathers...

I wanted to draw astor after I finished this but I literally feel like I haven't slept for a week (where are my fuvking meds that give me energy) so I'm gonna have to put that on hold

Anyway Herod come get your man (and keep him far away from me)

Bit of a breach of privacy innit?

(The fucking shading and inconsistencies in the background oh my god... Just.. Just ignore it all PLEASE)

Okay. So, ig Astor's parents knew all along what he would go on to do in the future. Which explains why his father, Makil, treats him the way he does his whole life. In his mind, "if it will come to happen no matter what," then why bother pretending to be a good parent, ey? I wanna talk about them more haha
