happy father’s day LU Time, you didn’t mean to accidentally half adopt a bunch of idiots but you did and as a treat the entire chain is going to pay for your therapy after this /j

art cred @/linkeduniverse

I was thinking about the "Someone will die" thing for Linked Universe recently, and like, if it IS going to happen, then on a story telling standpoint it HAS to be someone that will effect the ENTIRE group Dynamic.

---Deep Dive. It gets long---

I would just like to point out the absolute DESPERATION in Seteth's voice here. To hear such a normally stern and put-together character like him sounding so frantic and literally BEGGING for her life... His VA gave such a good performance 😭 HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB AT MAKING ME FEEL TERRIBLE FOR ATTACKING FLAYN

Also the quiet storytelling element of when you get close to Flayn, Seteth starts moving from his spot directly towards you to protect her, despite being quite a distance away on the map. I really love how much this game utilises 'show, don't tell' through acts like this. (unfortunately I wasn't able to capture in this clip because I had to re-do this fight a few times to actually beat it because SETETH IS SCARY WHEN HE CHARGES YOU)

Linked Universe things that sound like headcanons but are 100% canon

Or as I like to call it, “proof Jojo knows her audience very well” 😁

-Hyrule is a conspiracy theorist.

-The Chain openly calls each other brothers (and so do NPCs).

-Twilight has a country accent.

-Legend does own pants, he just actively chooses not to wear them. 

-Wild likes Hyrule’s cooking.

-Existential crises are common whenever someone opens their mouth.

-Time (and quite possibly Warriors) understands fairy language.

-Time is also the fairies’ favorite.

-Everyone is intimidated by Four. This has only increased the longer they’ve known him.

-The Heroes start fires. Constantly.

-Twilight and Sky are pranksters, they’re just so good at it (Twilight) or so kind on top of it (Sky) that no one ever suspects a thing.

-Music Night is a thing.

(If you’re curious where to find each of these in LU canon, let me know—putting all the proof in would be too many … links. 🤣🤣🤣)

✨Lu nonverbal headcanon post bc I was thinking✨

Sky: Not nonverbal just not much of a talker. Genuinely prefers listening to talking most of the time. Can how ever go semi nonverbal due to compete and utter rage. It's happens bc he's clenching his jaw too hard that it's actually hard to open his mouth, not that he notices when he's that enraged

Four: They stopped talking post adventure bc Green, Blue, Red and Vio all have wildly different personalities and people stared noticing that there was something clearly up with them. Once people started disliking and distrusting them for their "mood swings" and the fact that they never knew what was going on they decided to avoid people and avoid talking until they could figure out how to seem like one person. They talk now, and people brushed off how they were post adventure as something they picked up during their adventure but is gone now

Time: Was nonverbal bc of autism bc I'm auststic I said so. He has the "I think too fast and cant talk fast enough" stutter that I have but a lot worse, and Mido used to be a prick about it so he stopped talking to anyone but Saria for the most part. Later he was so distressed during his adventure that he just went nonverbal during oot, which worked out bc Navi was an aide. After Navi left and during Termina he started talking again partly because he was less distressed and more angry during mm compared to oot. This was a coping mechanism he was still very distressed, and if he let the anger slip he'd go nonverbal again. He also started not caring about what other people had to say about his stutter, because their opinion ment less than nothing after he got cursed by a mask fighting the moon. Now hes fine and doesn't tend to go nonverbal but he is quiet most of the time because if he doesn't think before he speaks he will get a little stutter again

Legend: Was semi nonverbal post Alttp due to severe truama (they're uncle died Infront of them and they had to kill brain washed people at like 12~13 this kid was not ok), it got better after meeting Marin and got so much worse after LA. Stopped talking in an attempt to self isolate, it didn't work so now they're a dick to keep people away

Hyrule: Not nonverbal just didn't speak much Hyruian at the beginning of his adventure bc that's not his native country and that's his second language. Used the Triforce of Wisdom to learn it. Anxiety also keeps him from talking when some one is nice to him because he doesn't have much experience making small talk, or talking to people who don't barely tolorate him in general, but it never made him go nonverbal. Just made him quieter

Twilight: Was also just not much of a talker like Sky but also straight up stopped talking multiple times. You know how Midna was a dick for like the full first half of tp? Yeah that was not good for Twi's mental state, especially after he was trapped as a wolf and couldn't speak??? Multiple times he stopped talking completely because he decided they're was no point to it. (Add in the fact that barely anyone even knew that the Twilight had invaded? And Ouch) This is what made Midna realize that she wasn't attacking someone who already hated her and was likely going to verbally attack her as soon as he got the chance, but just some guy. She apologized soon after, and Twilight accepted her apology and they worked though it and quickly became friends now that they weren't expecting the worst of eachother. The only lasting effects is that Twilight will give people the silent treatment if they talk over him or ignore him too much, but this out of spite

Wind: Wasn't nonverbal during his adventure. He was just mostly sad and upset and didn't feel like talking because his sister was gone. After that he started talking more

Warriors: Extreme anxiety. I mean like can't say a word with out nearly having a panic attack levels of anxiety. Warriors just has "I used to be anxious like you, but after I decided to mask 24/7 and pick a new personality Im perfectly fine! Do not look under the mask" to me. He needed Proxi to translate for him for the first half of the War while he figured out the best way to beat his anxiety into the closet. He's still anxious and can go completely nonverbal if someone says something that cuts a little too deep tho

Wild: Ok we all know why he was mute before the Calamity. Stress of saying the wrong thing with so many eyes on him, which is a big anxiety mood. I think at first didn't affect him but after he got his first memory the crushing weight of anxiety stated effecting him. Normally he could careless what people think of him and runs around in his underwear setting things on fire but if he really repeats the person, or of he's in a very stressful situation he goes nonverbal again. This usually means not talking after a fight, or going silent when seeing the champions, and it doesn't last longer than a day.
