Using the power of teamwork to steal Blue's cookies? noooo...
The prompt of the week in the four Swords extended server was teamwork and this is the first thing I thought of; I really like them
bonus; no text
and background images!
ykno i thought i've posted these before but i can't seem to find them on my account so
Holy shit I am in love with this...
@not-freyja HEY! COME LOOK AT THIS!
...it worked, didn't it?
Redraw.
i doubt ill ever finish this
Vio’s favorite activity is reading. Shadow’s favorite activity is watching Vio read. They work out.
Okay, still not done thinking about why I like Vio/Shadow.
Canonically, they are a tragedy. And I don't just mean that in the "it's sad" sense, I mean that they are Doomed from the beginning to the roles of Hero and Villain. That's the tragedy of it: they get along, they're compatible, when left to their own devices they like each other. But their circumstances force them into those story roles anyway.
It's just a scenario that's so inviting to explore. What happens if these two met under different circumstances? What happens if something changes in the middle of the story to send it askew? What could happen after the fact, if they were ever able to meet again?
What if their assigned Story Roles were different?
How do the characters feel about the Story Roles they've been placed in?
How do the characters' perceptions of each other change when they stop seeing the Story Role and start seeing the person underneath?
How do you move on from having been a Story Role, once the story is over? How do you grow and change and deal with being a real, complete person?
These sorts of questions definitely aren't unique to Four Swords, or to Vio and Shadow, but I think Four Swords lends itself especially well to them because of the way the characters are initially presented as such two-dimensional archetypes, but are also clearly much more than that. And with Vio and Shadow in particular because of what their story roles cost them, and the way they both challenged those roles in-text.

Knock-off zelda d&d campaign
alright so like a few years back i was planning a d&d campaign with a few friends and like- i wanted to shove in zelda characters without anybody noticing they all noticed- but i'd just like to show off my fine work-
Victor (totally not Vaati)
main villain of the campaign
certified lonely boi
he's ✨royalty✨
short tempered-
closeted pan sexual
Octavius (totally not Octavo)
neat freak
same colour scheme but he now has ✨short hair✨
generally chill dude
has a book collection
the party disintegrated his couch-
Gerald (totally not the green link)
Oldest of 5 brothers
has a dead wife and now an alcohol addiction-
certified dad
cries during romantic moments
has a cloak with a green gem button thingy hence the nickname green
Violet (totally not vio)
chill dude
basically green's therapist
always get's made fun of for having a girls name
second oldest of the five brothers
he want's to be a travelling scholar
same cloak thing with green but purple this time
Barrett (totally not blue)
another short tempered dude
is twins with our boy red
he's a stickler and won't do anything without getting payment in return
whines like a child
same cloak thing but blue, hence the nickname blue
Ronan (totally not red)
emotional boyo
has a mini flower garden
tries to enjoy blue's presence but it always ends up in a fight
twins with blue
same cloak thingy but red, hence the nickname red
Salem (totally not shadow link)
left him for last but he's kinda like the middle child
he doesn't really have any of the features the rest of the brothers have which basically leads him to think he was adopted but their parents aren't around so no one knows
the brothers legit thought he was dead for the longest time just to find him working for Victor
yeah Salem was dying but Victor saved him but now both their souls are bound to a single object a hair brush
so uuuuh feel free to do with that information as you please-
