THE AMAZING ICE SKATING AU by @deduukkk

Are all the babies about the same age, or are there still some age differentials even when they're de-aged? And if it's the latter, who is the oldest, who is the youngest?

Do the babies remember their adventures and why they're here, or do they think they just popped into this random forest with this random man+7 other kids and start crying for their parents/guardians?

Is Wind frantically trying to get back home "because Aryll will miss me!!"? Does he try to aggressively big brother everyone else even if they might look older than him?

Does Wild suddenly start chatting happily about his mom/dad/younger sister, information nobody realized he remembered, and Warriors is like

when he realizes the implications?

Who is the tattletale/suck up in this group of chaotic gremlins?

What are the new dynamics of the group once 8/9 Links are much more immature/on a leveler playing field? Does someone rise to the top as a natural leader? Does the group split into cliques or do they all get along equally? Are there any loners? Do some of the boys look at one of the other ones and decide they are now mortal enemies for whatever reason?

Who is Warriors' favorite child? He has one, I'm sure, even if he's legally obligated to keep it to himself. (It's Wind, isn't it.)

Well, I wasn't sure, but I guess we're making the papa Warriors AU (not a final name... or is it)

Heeeere we GO

I thought that making them different ages would be the most fun, and I kinda went random with them, although Wind still ended up the youngest. I want him to be a toddler to really mess with Warriors hehe (but didn't want to make all of them toddlers to give him a chance to survive). So, in my head it's roughly like this for now: Wind is 1-2; Wild, Hyrule and Legend are 6-7; Sky, Four and Time are 8-9; and Twilight is 11 (Wars gotta get at least some help!)

I really like what Nevermatch did in THE FIC EVER, where they know who Warriors and the rest are, but don't realize that they are adults turned into kids. However, since my goal is to torture the Captain, making all of their minds reverse to their physical ages sounds the most appealing >:) And it also makes me think of how their interactions would change if they didn't know each other and haven't gone through all of the horrors (only some). So yeah, I guess some of them would remember the adventures they already went through by this age (Four, Time, Hyrule, MAYBE Legend but I'm not sure, I think he was older in his first adventure). I did give Four his colorful tunic without thinking much tbh, now that it's turning into a whole Thing I might change it to plain green one from MC. Or not. Imagine if he casually picks up his sword and splits, and THAT'S how Warriors finds out that he can do that. AND YES, despite some of them already being seasoned travelers, I do think that they would get confused and overwhelmed, and would probably call for their guardians

I guess I have to say no here, since Wind is a toddler. I really like this though, I might change my mind.

YES, OMG, I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT!! I was thinking about a scenario where Warriors is really struggling trying to calm down baby Wind, Wild does something that actually helps and then goes "Oh yeah, my mama does this for my little sister" and now it's Warriors who's having a meltdown.

I gotta say Twilight lol, but he's got good intentions! He's just a very responsible and social one, and he's genuinely worried for everyone. Legend would definitely call him a snitch though, maybe Four too depending on a situation (especially with him now having a partner in crime).

You probably guessed it, but Four and Time are best friends, they're just all I can think about, my precious babies... While they both would be a little guarded in the beginning, as soon as Four finds out that they have something in common/just finds out something interesting about Time, HOOOOO BOY, he's never gonna stop talking. Time feels very safe and comfortable around Four, seeing him being a hero but not being afraid/ashamed of being emotional and childish when he wants to. Wild and Rulie are also good buddies, always sneaking out into the forest together, with Legend joining because "they're gonna get themselves killed". I feel like Sky would keep to himself, but he likes it that way! Wind is always with the Captain (Wars is TERRIFIED of letting him out of sight), but is very curious about the shenanigans of the rest. Twilight watches everyone when Wars can't, but I think, much like in the main story, he would get along with Sky the best

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

But Papa Warriors also works. XD onto the numbered bullet points:

how debilitating being shot in the shoulder is

how hypothermia works

things I have never before seen someone fake their way through writing about, until today:

SHRIMP COCKTAIL:

banahbanah: #flashback to that one fic where Peter Parker frets about drinking shrimp cocktail because of the alcohol

generaldeliciousness: adding: what a prawn/shrimp cocktail is

#why is your character turning it down because they're under 21 #do you think prawn cocktail is a cocktail #this lives in my brain rent-free constantly #the rest of the fic was so normal #and good enough that i'll still re-read it #but bro

And then many, MANY, people wondering if this was actually authour mistake, since Peter really would do this!

POMEGRANATES:

zhajhassa: #haha where's that post that was like someone describing someone eating a pomegranate but they ate it like an apple

thornhands: #once someone wrote persephone biting into a whole Pomegranate #had to stop and stare at a wall for a minute

sungsingsanguine: I once saw someone very confidently write about a character eating slices of pomegranate.

FRUIT TREES:

zagreuses-toast: #given a very endearing glimpse into a writers blindspots by seeing them describe someone sitting under a ''pineapple tree''

salatrash: I remember something about picking watermelons... OF A FUCKING TREE

baander: #cranberry trees

DOUGH/BATTER:

maycelium: #I'm a chef so I'm really used to people not accurately describing how to cook food #But I was surprisingly flabbergasted when someone was writing making a cake and was kneading it. Which uh #Not necessary for cake. It was interesting for sure but just bizarre

livebloggingmydescentintomadness: #the one that drove me nuts was when a character set aside a batch of PASTA DOUGH 'to rise' #pasta doesn't have yeast!! #it does need to REST but it will never RISE #you do not want an airy crumb on your noodles
