I’m Torn Between Posting The Written Work Of My Dream/story Without Art, Or Just Waiting Until I Can

You suddenly switch bodies with your icon. On a scale of 1 to 10, (10 being the highest value) how well are you coping with that change?

Catdow Revival AU Chapter 7: Epilogue

Okay. I didn’t really have a way I wanted this fic to end. Couldn’t really think of one. But I did think of this sort of… “go wherever you want with it from here” so here’s the outro! Thank you so much for reading!!

Shadow sat in a circle, drawn in the centre of the basement floor, because of course it was the basement they chose to do this in. It’s apparently the perfect place in the house for magic... other than the attic.

Vio had drawn up the magic circle. Though he didn’t seem to fond of the magic he was handling, he had a stony expression as he periodically glanced at his book, double checking what he was doing as he went so as to not mess up.

~~~~~~~

‘Mess up what?’ You may ask. Easy. Mess up the spell that’s gonna give me back my hylian shape.

If I had known Blue figuring out my identity would have led to me getting proper control of my magic back, I would have tried to show her sooner!

I’m glad it’s happening now though.

Vio lays down the last of what is needed for the magic, the only thing remaining now is to actually cast the spell.

~~~~~~~~

There was a long pause after the spell had ended. Shadow being given a moment to look over himself and appreciate the return of his fingers.

The spell hadn’t been perfect, he still had feline attributes. Like his eyes, which could slit like a cat’s and had a similar shine. There was fur along his knuckles, leading up to feline shaped claws. 

Most notably, he had a tail. A very fluffy one, but it was short and easy enough to hide in his pants that he was sure it hadn’t been noticed yet.

Thankfully he had been… humanized? Hylianized? Returned to form? Thankfully the spell had given him clothes after it worked it’s magic. Though they were very very loose, and the same colours as his old fur with a similar pattern.

Finally, the silence was broken by Red: “Does this mean we don’t have a cat anymore?” He sounded disappointed by the idea.

Shadow laughed. “You could say your cat got an upgrade!” And boy was it weird to use his voice again! It felt like he was moving the words around a cat mouth, and probably sounded accented with the rolls and shape of a cat’s meow.

Red’s lips thinned. “Hmmmm, nooo.” He hummed with a light tone and a shake of his head.

Shadow couldn’t help but pout, Blue and Green snickering at his expense.

Vio seemed to be in shock that the spell had even worked, looking at Shadow with furrowed eyebrows and wide eyes, mouth hung open as he looked between the shade and the book still in his hands.

“I thought Blue was wrong.” He mumbled, Shadow being the only one to hear him. He chose to ignore that comment for now.

Overall, everyone seemed happy. Red even more so when Shadow proved he could still turn into a cat.

rise of the guardians thoughts

Because we needed more of those from me right lol

Anyway-

The timing of Jack being selected to be a Guardian is really interesting.

Because in movie canon, the other Guardians came together during the dark ages, right? And they needed to protect things that were being lost to children of that era due to fear and despair: wonder, hope, dreams, important memories.

But Jack. Jack becomes a Guardian in the modern era.

The implication is that modern kids are losing their grip on fun. There's fear and despair inflicted on the young generations of today, by school, mental illness, and the constant barrage of information and guilt on the Internet putting the weight to save the world on them while they're still powerless to do anything about it. Even when people try to aim that guilt exclusively at adults (which a lot of media doesn't!), kids tend to try to feel in control of bad things happening around them by assuming they're their own fault. If they can blame themselves for divorce and abuse, why not world disasters?

And when hope isn't enough anymore, when good memories are formed less and less, when the wonder and magic are stripped from a child's world, where do they have left to escape fear and despair?

Fun.

And I think that's why Jack was chosen when he was.

And it could be so easy to make that connection and let your hope for the world slip, but that's not the point of Rise of the Guardians.

The point is that actually, taking fear and despair too seriously, even when you're the one/ones fighting it- letting it consume your thoughts and time... doesn't do anyone any good.

Sometimes you need to fight it by being lighthearted in spite of the world.

I think that's why it's remained such a comfort movie for the generation it was made in. We see ourselves in these more or less helpless kids, struggling against a constant storm of fear and darkness, and this movie finds a way to pull that innocence and lightheartedness out of us again. It's comforting to feel like there's defenses and barriers against despair that will never truly go away, even just for a moment.

Imma share a weird Scotl story.

I was going through Eden, leaving my lights, and trying to get as far through to the eye as I could.

I had almost made it too, on my last light, I almost made it to the foot of the eye. but then the last light was gone, and I was fading.

I took the last few steps before collapsing, starting the journey to be reborn again.

Only... I didn't fall through darkness like normal, I was back at the foot of the eye, yet again taking the last few steps before collapsing.

this happened several more times.

Finally I closed the game, and opened it again.

everything seemed normal enough, but the gates through sky were gone, the door to Eden closed.

You know that shrine that lets you "return to your journey in Sky"? I had to meditate at that.

I was brought back to Eden, and again, over and over, was returned to the foot of the eye.

I still have no idea how I managed to be reborn, but one thing I do know is that I have never gone that close to the eye of Eden again.

this video does more in 10 seconds than your fave’s entire filmography

I've been replaying Alter Ego and the brainrot is real. I've already started thinking up a four sword au for it lmaooo.

Dunno who I would put as Es, I'm torn between Vio and Shadow. Heck, maybe I could make both of the Es. The librarian and his Shadow.

Then you've got Ego Rex.... not sure who I'd put as them. Vaati and Ganon could work, but so could Demise and Hylia.

The player would be the rbg bois, each coming in for a different ending.

Don't have all the endings, just got the two bad endings and a good one.

I might play through the game as though I was going through as each of the bois and see what happens, it might be fun. I'd play as Blue first, then Red, then Green, then repeat.

just a dumb thought, might not even go anywhere, but I have little ideas for fanart that I might do... who knows.

yes. Just yes.

I've been developing 50 different stories partly in tandem with each other and a lot of them are connected at least a little especially through the dimension travellers that pop up when a dimension is either falling apart, needs to fall apart, or is just a safe enough place for them to chill before going to the next world.

No I haven't written a single one into a book or something. No I probably never will.

the worst part about having huge autistic fantasy worlds in your head is that it takes like 8 billion years to turn that into something substantial you can show people
