I'd been writing Prime Time at lightning speed (by my standards at any rate) for a few weeks before 3SF started, and I've mostly been able to get out at least a couple hundred words on it since then. I'm as surprised as you are.

FFVII, ensemble - Pancakes, and waffles, and muffins, oh my!

FFVII, Sephiroth, SOLDIERs - snack attack

FFVII, Reno, Rude, Aerith - women in suits

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Link &(/) Zelda - I remember finding out about you

Prime Time, chapter 12

Legend of Actually Zelda is sitting on my recliner ready for tonight when Partner gets home <333 I'll post my first impressions/possible fic notes here as I play. :DDD

EDIT: okay so i fell over before i could write out my impressions, which I probably should have anticipated XD so this is not the Freshest of Takes. But here we go.

spoilers ahead! )

...lastly, I want a smoothie. ;_;

This took a while because I was processing everything. And then it took a while because it seems like everything takes my brain a while these days. And also because I have FIVE drabble_zone drabbles to link at the end of this and if I wait any longer it's going to be, like, twelve.

tl;dr it emotionally wrecked me but stumbled on some smaller details. )

Currently playing: Shadows over Loathing, just for something completely different. I do want to 100% TotK, but I'm taking a break for now.

ANYWAY. As promised, drabbles:

Dark Clouds - TFG1, Bluestreak, for prompt: weather warning. It's about healing.

Faith Like Embers - TFG1, Optimus & Ironhide, for prompt: faith. Optimus being sappy.

Baffled - TFG1, Hot Rod and an OC, for prompt: seeking shelter. In which Roddy is told off for being a turbo-revvin' young punk.

Love at First Scientific Observation - FF7, Lucrecia and an OC, for prompt: love who you love. Lucrecia's taste in men is weird.

The Power of Pride - TFG1, Optimus, for prompt: parade. Optimus being a sap, again.

I'm about eeeeiiiiight? hours into this game? not that time means much in Hey What's That!?: The Game. I'm well past the tutorializing at least. initial thoughts, just b/c it'll be interesting to see if/how my opinion changes as we play:

the TotK gameplay trailer being specifically edited to show you <0.5% of fuck all about the story is genius b/c i can't get it out of my head now. I could speculate all day long and still know nothing!!!!

i don't know how I'll survive until May 12th XD

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. )

You know, as much as I enjoy post-BotW fic where the author springboards off the true ending*, I really want a post-BotW fic that springboards off the speedrun.

Like, Zelda opens her eyes post banishing Ganon to the Shadow Realm and is presented with her hero: an absolute wild man with 3 hearts, 1 stamina wheel and 0 fucks, who just bombed himself across Hyrule Field wearing nothing but his Zora-issue underpants and a manic expression, clutching the splintered remains of the ladle with which he just beat Ganon's ass. Idk if it would be funnier to be like "Link fully remembers what happened and this is 100 years worth of VENGEANCE" or "Link has lost his memories, this is just who he is when you strip away all the expectations and knight training and everything else that might have served as an internal set of brakes: an absolute Force of Nature barely contained in a body with the constitution of a wet noodle." But a fic starting from either of those points is bound to go to some wild places. :D



*AO3: Here are 13 thousand fics with that exact premise.
Me: Holy shit 13 thousand cakes! :DDDDD also I should bake me one of these too holy shit
