In the Shadows Beyond This World: Chapter 12: Cuccoos Coming Home to Roost

After a lot of sleep, finally got enough energy to tackle this chapter. And watching a walkthrough of the Arbiter’s Grounds helped too, because it’s been a while since I played that one.

– Franz finally has development! In fact, he’s almost oversaturated in development! And maybe it happens in an unrealistically short timeframe, but he’s on a timer, so we’ve gotta deal. : P

– I hope the altered dungeon is interesting and full of good surprises. Also Link seems to be a bit of a derp in this chapter.

– Nabooru was kind of the most undeveloped/boring Sage in OoT next to Rauru, but hey! She is a lot more interesting in my head! I wonder how that happened… First she revealed stuff way too early, stuff that I thought was coming at the end of the chapter, and then she insisted on coming along with the boys. That’s fine. She can do exposition. She’s very willful.

– not sure I would include the Spinner in future rewrites. It’s just too ridiculous, you know? It’s kind of awesome in the game, but it’s really limited from a narrative point of view.

All right, here’s this massive thing. Didn’t even edit, tonight. If there are problems… let me know. : P

I feel like drawing Franz. I probably should.

In the Shadows Beyond This World: Chapter 11: Evil’s Bane In Hand

Today’s notes:

– this chapter took forever to write, not entirely sure why. (Partly why is because I was looking at Zelda pictures on DA again. For every picture I’ve already seen, there’s five more waiting to be found. XP ) It’s a bit quieter than some of the others, but it still has its badass moments. I like Link’s confidence. He’s acting more like a hero and less like a hen.

– the part with the bacon was written fairly early this morning, when I could smell one of my neighbours cooking bacon. It made me hungry. DX

– the hide-and-seek probably wasn’t necessary.

– this is an odd chapter and it didn’t really go the way I thought it would. Some plot holes. I may need to go over this part of the story with a sledgehammer or steamroller or two, just to smooth things out so they WORK. I’m not happy with this chapter at all, and I’m hoping the next one will be better. I hope it’s not because I’ve been surfing DA looking at pictures (and accidentally catching wind of other people’s headcanons and OCs and things. (Hey, aren’t you glad that one of the things I didn’t put in was Dark Link sexually harassing Link? Yeeeaaah.)). But in any case… I may rewrite this chapter again from scratch this evening. Or tomorrow. Sometime when I haven’t been driving myself crazy.

– FRANZ WHY YOUR CHARACTER NO DEVELOP come on, lad. Rewrite, perhaps. Or next chapter at the very least.

– I don’t remember why the next chapter is called what it is. Hoping I remember before I have to go and write it.

EDIT: I AM REWRITING THIS WHEN I GET BACK FROM WORK

EDIT2: I may have written in some new plot holes, but I feel like the chapter is much more interesting now, even if it’s even slower than before. Also Franz actually says things now. He reminds me of Gyoriing. And I managed to salvage most of the words I already wrote! Yay! Okay, so now tomorrow I can keep on with the story.

Frelia’s Finest: Part 2 (rewrite)

Part 1 this way

 

Part 2

 

“How goes it?” I asked Gerik, who crouched at the door of the tower while I knelt on the top of the tower.

The mercenary captain peeked through the arrow slit next to him. “I’m good, thanks for asking, Highness. Still lots of baddies out there, though.”

I stood up and surveyed the hilly plain. “They’ve drawn off a little. I think we have time for a breather. Come up and look around.”

“Ewan, stay in hiding,” Tethys warned her brother as she followed Gerik up to the top of the tower.

We had been ambushed by Carcino soldiers right when we were in the middle of the country. Brin had taken a lance in the leg, and had dropped back even though she was able to partly heal the wound with a vulnerary. They wouldn’t kill her; the mercenaries’ guild laws prevented that. But the treacherous bastards had no reason to attack me, and since I hadn’t stopped for news since I left Frelia, I had no idea why they thought they had reason to. Could it be that Grado guessed at my mission and had corrupted them with coin?

In any case, we were wildly outnumbered and though we made it to the relative safety of a small abandoned tower in the middle of this plain, it was only a matter of time before we were overrun. I would have failed almost before I had begun.

I couldn’t let that happen. Continue reading

Fire Emblem Rescue

Franz is blind! Oh noes! jk

Franz is blind! Oh noes! jk

There are so many illustrations/parodies of the Fire Emblem Rescue command, so I did my own. Only it’s not a parody. See, this is what should happen when you have two horse mounted guys and one rescues the other. Duh! So there you are. Franz and Amelia from Fire Emblem 8 demonstrate after cavalier!Amelia gets hit by an arrow. Franz doesn’t have eyes because I thought that would ruin the effect somehow. Meh.

I dragged out my Zela costume yesterday. I’m going to make a pouch thingy to go on the belt, so I can carry my lunch to school. I also need to find a quick way to attach my waterbottle. And I think I want to make a new tunic, make it longer, more formfitting in the waist. And I’m going to make a wood/plastic sword. Yep. That’s my big plan. I’m going to try the pouch first because I still have material left from the cloak that I can use. Oh, and I want to add little detail things to the costume all over because y’know, it’s quite a plain costume. I know that a ton of, say, strappy or dangly things would only get in the way of moving swiftly and silently through the forest and/or fighting, but there must be something I can do. I’m thinking about embroidered ivy on stuff. y/n? And little bits of stitching to the black shirt/pants as if it got torn once and mended. And add length to both the sleeves and neck because the shirt is actually too small. And fix the gauntlets so they don’t cut off circulation when I try to play piano. o_O7

And then maybe I’ll buy red material and start working on a Flairé costume because Flairé would be awesome to go as. Although I’d need a long shiny black wig. Hmm. And the cloak would be insane because I want to make his fancy cloak with the embroidered phoenix on the back that you haven’t seen yet. Whee!
