i still have a few sets left to officially finish this series but i also figured i’d share all the rejects/redos that i had saved during the process (still not all of the rejects cuz i reused the same canvas about half the time), including the video process of fs/a link/zelda that changed…. many times.

these were ditched for various reasons but

1) zelda looked funny and the line weights were all over the place, literally just went back to the same sketch and reworked from there

2)pose was boring, decided to split the adults seperately

3)pose was boring, line weights again

4)cute but decided to make zelda 1 zelda a little older based on vibes, still like this design as a younger version of her though

5)didnt love the zelda designs, decided to split them up + age up zelda 1 a bit

6)pose wasnt posing, didnt love the colors

7)pose wasn’t posing, decided to merge in the oracle team (you’ll note this was the final pose just flipped and fixed a bit. i refused to give up on the bunny ears)

8)do i honestly need to say more

9)very cute, still also love this zelda and is definitely another outfit of hers but wanted to give her more color, link just didn’t look quite right

there’s a dialogue where the narrator describes him smiling shyly and how it doesn’t look like smth he’d do often and i just

narrator have you seen this man?? have you seen him?? all he does is smile shyly at the player character. if he’s not grinning and bear hugging you he’s smiling shyly and looking at you like you hung the moon???

Both options are great.

Because the thing is, when bigots pick fights, they are 100% counting on you to get louder than them. Or meaner. They want you to react emotionally and provide fodder for their 'You're Too Emotionally Immature To Understand' cannon.

What they aren't expecting you to do is say one of the following phrases in a polite, concerned tone:

Are you okay?

That's not the kind of language I was raised to use with others.

Do you need a moment to think on why that wasn't acceptable?

This is no way to engage in intelligent conversation. Please try that again in a kinder tone if you'd like this to continue. (I really like this one because it lets you turn their public-shame rhetoric around)

For those of you who'd are spiteful and/or dealing with Fundamentalists/Evangelicals/generally shitty Christians:

What's happening in your life to cause you this much anger? I can't imagine hurting so badly that I need to hurt other people.

Who taught you it was acceptable to treat other people this way? Certainly not the Jesus I remember.

Whatever happened to 'judge not lest ye be judged'?

If I talked like that in front of my parents or grandparents I would be ashamed.

I think there's something you need to pray on before we try and have this conversation.

And my all time favorite:

"It sounds to me like there are some seriously dark and angry forces at work in your heart."

(Nothing stops a Christian bigot in their tracks faster than implying the Devil is causing their bigotry. But you MUST be calm, polite, and gentle with your tone and wording. It is absolutely fair to twist the rules and play them at their own game, but you gotta play hard.)

When I gave birth they kept bringing me cups of very sweet tea until I drank one

I’ve something to say and I’m

nervous about it
