Wanderer's Rest

First four are from yesterday. Been brick'd by tired lately.

Transformers G1, Rodimus Prime, see that young man who dwells inside his body like an uninvited guest
Beast Wars, Rattrap, "Stack the deck, I'm letting nothing fall to chance."
Transformers: Battlegrounds, Optimus Prime & ensemble, self insert
Breath of the Wild: Age of Calamity, Kohga and the Yiga, banana break
Transformers G1, Rodimus Prime/Galvatron/Cyclonus/implied Scourge, "All my favorite things start out as bad ideas." (nsfw, pain play, D/s)
FF7, Sephiroth & Aeris, boys in stripper heels/girls rollin' in Maseratis/all we need in this world is some love
Tale of Tamamizu, animal brides/bridegrooms
Transformers G1, Hot Rod & Megatron, time-travel fixit

swinging wildly between angst and nonsense

Transformers G1, Rodimus, Draculus & ensemble, vampire AU
Transformers G1/Beast Wars/D&D AU, Optimus Prime, Megatron (and implied Megatron), the (main) characters become a pantheon of gods
Transformers G1, Huffer, something bigger than us holding us together
Breath of the Wild, Zelda & Link, the hero becomes the villain
TMNT, Raphael, tattoos
Sailor Moon, Usagi & Luna, refusing to get out of bed

Not many today. Still wasn't feeling great. But I did kind of generate a new BotW AU, so that's a thing. :D

FF7, Aerith/Tifa/Cloud, earth, water, sky (nsfw)
Breath of the Wild, Revali & Link, wingfic
Breath of the Wild, Link & Zelda, damaged wings (follows from above)
Sailor Moon, Usagi, fragile lives, shattered dreams
FFIX, Garnet, birthright
FF7, Sephiroth & Gast, new magical powers

As promised, I slowed down. A bit.

Dragonball Z, Vegeta/Bulma, take my hand/wreck my plans/that's my man
Beast Wars, Megatron & ensemble, the villain becomes the hero
BotW, Urbosa & the Champions, if Rhoam wasn’t such a shitty father-!
Star Wars X-Wing series, Face & Piggy, Kettch: the return of a legend
Transformers G1, Rodimus Prime, dancing with ghosts
Breath of the Wild, Rhoam & Kohga, a richly deserved punch
Breath of the Wild, Rhoam & Champions, a richly deserved punch (yes, again, but he deserves it)
Breath of the Wild, Zelda & Link, roleswap
Transformers: G1 cartoon, Autobot officers, D&D night!

Okay so there's probably a limit to how much you can talk about the monsters in BotW(/LoZ games in general) like they're part of the natural world since they're in effect Ganon's minions and not actually native to the ecosystems they're found in. How much of their behavior is programmed/commanded directly by Ganon and how much is natural? Do they even exist when Ganon's inactive? Age of Calamity shows monsters acting as units, cooperating with and/or tolerating the presence of other species, responding to orders, and otherwise acting in ways you maybe wouldn't expect if they were just doing what came naturally, but the canonicity of AoC is another thorny issue. So for the purposes of this can of worms masquerading as an essay, I'm going to assume that Ganon is suffering from Acts of Princess in BotW's present day and is not exerting direct control over any of the monsters you encounter. What, aside from hostility towards Hylians, do they have in common? Where do they differ? How smart are they really, and how do we even quantify that?

( Also, I'm ignoring the Stals because that is just way too much. )

in many occasions, DEEPLY threatening the integrity of "what counts as 1 sentence"

Breath of the Wild, Link & Revali, Link reacting to Revali's constant roasting

any, any, nerding out about cooking (BotW Link & Zelda)

any, any, i wish i could go back to when i was 13 i used to know everything then (FF7, Cloud)

any, any, "don't worry, you're with us now" (Kingdom Hearts/BW, Kairi & Optimus)

Any, any, "if things get any better I'll have to hire somebody to help me enjoy it" (FF7, Seph & Zack)

Untitled Goose Game, Goose, a new kind of bell (Animal Crossing/Untitled Goose Game, Tom Nook & Goose)
