i feel like this fic is just going to get weird if/when i eventually write it simply because i cannot resist an opportunity to stop and go "so sidon's kind of the odd one out, being the lone fish-man among the closer-human-analogues, huh"
which is my way of saying that zelda is going to try to head off a joke at one point only to realize she is hoisted by her own petard of "shit now i need to explain menstruation to a confused shark boyfriend"
i DEFINITELY reverse-engineered a subgenre of yaoi mpreg on accident there. one of y'all are gonna come along and tell me at any moment now "yeah penis jousting to see who ends up taking the biological burden of being pregnant is why the whole a/b/o thing, like, exists. you didn't know that?" and i will have to just go Oh Dear about it
@wigglytuffitout the best one was "can't a man enjoy watching gratuitously violent swordplay in peace"
the shark boyfriend has spent 100 years trying to doggedly be a good prince who wears a cravat and knows how proper decorum and then he hooks up with mr. link "battle gremlin" hyrule and ms. princess "have just spent 100 years locked in psychic battle with the greatest force of evil, could use a cuppa tea honestly" zelda. it's just a fish man trying to hold on to his dignity while dating two disasters shaped like hylians
right that retoot cinches it, i am going to have to put in some contrived-ass bit of this fic i might eventually write wherein Zelda Learns How To Cuss
link already knows he's become a feral battle goblin it's like 90% f-words by this point. he's just going to yell at the moon to fuck off at any occasion now
nope instead it's prince sidon who is all GAAAAAASP!!!!!!!!!!!! and absolutely SCANDALIZED because PRINCESS WHY ARE YOU SAYING SUCH THINGS
in which a wigglytuff grumbles about post-op pain med
i think doubling up my cbd dose and being really diligent with ice packs and naproxen are going to get me through but i am a little YOU GUYS. at the doctors honestly
like GIVE A BITCH A BREAK Y'ALL
in which a wigglytuff grumbles about post-op pain med
i'm holding out as best i damn can and i think i may be able to make it, but they uhhh didn't actually give me ANY increase in pain medication for post-surgery
i was on oxycodone 5mg handling my base pain, now i'm on... percocet 5mg
so like
same thing
but with tylenol in there too
then they dig up good-guy-ganon and so they are joined by a lanky gerudo man who *also* has existential breakdowns
as you do.
...
listen, it's a Theme, okay,
even though at that point everyone involved in the polycule is over 100 years old
please do not pay attention to link as he pulls out his powerpoint presentation, "REASONS I AM UNLOVEABLE, PART 1: i hope you're all familiar with the Ship of Theseus as part of your reading for class"
the rest of the fic is just sidon looking on worriedly at two hylians having existential breakdowns. as you do.
