He thrust a magical fucking sword through its head and banished it to a watery grave. Wind stared death in the eye and spat in its face. There was no reason to fear something he couldn’t prevent, there was no reason to pray to something that would never hear or listen. Wind feared no man, god, or figment of imagination. Some feared death, some prayed for its delay. Wind knew death like an old friend and he despised it with all the rage contained in his tiny body. Some spoke of death like a mercy, others like a boon. It never helped him do better on his adventure, never showed him the way, never allowed him to prevent someone’s demise-only forced him to bear witness to it in all its excruciatingly gory detail. Back then he’d called it instinct, but now he called it a curse.
Wind hadn’t always had this ability, but before his second adventure, before the ghosts became tangible to his skin and visible to his eyes, he still had a sixth sense of sorts to rely on. He blinked, and found himself in an unfamiliar field, reaching towards sunrise.
Hyrule felt nothing as Legend’s hand passed through his. “Take my hand, Legend!” Hyrule cried, and Legend jumped. Vertigo consumed Hyrule’s senses, his vision clouding with black dots. Legend flinched back, dagger slipping from shaking fingers. Hyrule stretched out his arm, fingers splayed, eyes begging. “This isn’t a dream,” Hyrule whispered, and Legend’s shoulders shook with silent sobs. Hyrule gasped, Legend blurring before him, the sand beneath him fading, the roar of the waves diminishing. The sun was rising, pinks disappearing into vibrant gold and crushed purple and bright blue. Hyrule, knees buried in the sand and hands held over his chest, trying desperately not to reach out again. Legend, knife drawn and hands shaking dangerously. The other heroes stumbled onto the sand, frozen in shock as they took in the scene before them. Farther than they’d ever been apart before. Legend and Hyrule sat on the beach, a mere two feet separating them. guess sehun was fed up with being patient or second place lol so i thought soo was the closest thing to a bias, then chanyeol, then i realized they’re all my muses UNTIL sehun slapped me across the face before my bday last year. bear in mind that i didnt have a bias when i started jongin was my casual bias due to his handsomeness and dance talent since the first exo teaser in ‘11 or so with dancer!hun a close second, but i wasn’t invested in their public personalities and team dynamic yet. since i had a backlog of amazing content to read from exo ficdom giants and i got to read a TON and was on a huge inspiration uptick, so i finally moved off of sending excited anon asks to these authors and took the leap with writing my own content, starting with soofluff.
while consuming so much exo content, i started turning to fanwork as i had been reading fanfic for TV shows at the time and really enjoyed reading well-written, passionate work. kind of how i feel towards idk ariana grande or smth - certainly casual). i started consuming a ton of exo content that summer, basically catching up on all the variety shows i missed and all the video compilations on youtube (really i only used to care about looks, music, and dance, and not much else. I’ve been a kpop fan for over a decade but only got ‘back into fandom’ after mr.jae made me watch knowing bros in 2019 (i was mainly a casual fan of exo until then i liked their music and i liked maknae line and dancing but i wasn’t culturally invested). And yeah.but I was hooked, and WENT TO BLOCKBUSTER AND RENTED THE VHS TAPES TO CATCH UP.this interview is making me feel very old. But the first film trailers suggested they were actually going from UST to RST, so I figured I could give 2 hours of my time for that. Even by my 20's, I'd been done wrong by so many shows that I'd become bitter. I was home for Christmas when Christmas Carol/Emily aired and I remember standing tentatively just inside the room so I could flee if necessary, and watched Scully go through the wringer, and ranting, "What the hell is this? Why are they putting that poor woman through this!?" I also saw how the show was doing the big ship tease, and I was like, uh, I don't have time for this. I don't like scary things, and would leave the room if it was on when I'd visit her. My mother has always been a big sci-fi fan, so she actually was watching before me. I was away at college then working on the road when the show started, and wasn't home on Friday nights most of the year. There's a meme "I have a type," and XF definitely had that type, but it just took me a while to get there.
