Kingdom of Dry Bones on AO3, fully uploaded now.
10/10 chapters, 48k words, seven years of drafts, enjoy Ganondorf having some Real Big Feels about destiny and his ex-enemies [ex-lovers], while Sheik slowly ruins his life.
Chapters: 1/10 (finished) Fandom: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms Relationships: Ganondorf/Link/Zelda, Ganondorf & Nabooru Additional Tags: Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Assassination Plot(s), Being Too Old For This Shit, The Gods Hate You, Screw Destiny
Summary: Almost twenty years after the new Queen of Hyrule banished the Gerudo King, her country is devastated in a fiery cataclysm, driving Hylian refugees to the desert for shelter. Ganondorf would rather piss glass than help his enemies, but certain old promises haunt him - along with certain new ghosts.
Hey friends. I'm not "back" per se. But I am still alive, and more importantly, I finished KoDB, that ZelGan(Link) novel I have been talking about for literal years. First chapter is up on AO3, and I'll post a new chapter every Friday for the next nine weeks until it's done. I hope you like it. All you ZelGan fans, you Gerudo culture fans, all you who joined me in the beautiful meta discussions about the LoZ lore 2014-2017 - this is for you.

Shout-out to @gatheringbones for listening patiently while I realized my favorite childhood movie, Annie (1982), was capitalist propaganda in real time

"You are," my friend answered, as unhesitatingly as if telling me the day of the week
every moment of every day i am thinking about this tiktok
Lumpfish come in a variety of shapes and colors.
[He scoops up the fish, it spits water and he turns it toward the camera]
This one is stumpy and green. Very beautiful, very powerful.
[He picks up another fish and turns it toward the camera]
This is what a normal lumpfish looks like. It is more elongated, but still a vibrant blue color. Very beautiful, very powerful.
[He picks up another fish and turns it toward the camera]
This is one of the stumpiest ones we have. Its hump is very high. It is very stumpy, but yet very beautiful, and very powerful.
[He pans over a lot of fish, all looking up at the camera]
My fish army is ever growing, and soon I will over throw the world. Very beautiful, very powerful.
because of this tiktok, i frequently murmur "very beautiful, very powerful" at myself, and i cannot recommend it enough.
This dude, the one who's tiktok this video came from, is the greatest. The lumpfish dont flop all over the place like most fish would because theyre USED to being held, so they can be weighed and measured. He also keeps crabs, urchins, shrimp, lobsters, and starfish. He might have more, idk its been a while since I checked his tiktok.
But he's pretty great and I love this video so much, very beautiful, very powerful.
"My country lay within a vast desert... full of secrets, hidden in the ruins.” 🌙 Oh I love the Gerudo Desert . Happy Linktober - Day 21: Ancient. ✨ What’s your favorite ancient place?

Lidia Yuknavitch, from The Chronology of Water: A Memoir
I am on. Literally. The last scene of KoDB and it is killing me. I have worked on this for so long, I've become so many different people since I started it - Link and Zelda and Gan himself have become such different characters in my mind than when I started it - and the original ending had to go in the dumpster, it's no longer relevant, the world has moved on (which is the point of the story, BUT STILL)
I'm posting this here to nag myself into completing the full draft. By the end of this month. Because then it's NaNoWriMo, which will serve as a good brain break - any lingering edits made in December - then posted, and I never have to stress about it again.
😌✨🌿yea
Me, sitting beside a high peak reservoir, throwing rocks into the water:
Good news, I found a way to keep myself distracted tonight 👍👍
I thought briefly of a drinking game to the effect of "shots for every needless up skirt angle" but then I quickly realized you would die if you tried it
(it's fucking sucker punch and I'm 22 again)
