Thanks For Answering My Question. Since I Saw Your Art, The Idea Of A Sheikah-looking Princess Zelda

Thanks for answering my question. Since I saw your art, the idea of a Sheikah-looking Princess Zelda invaded my mind, the reason is that after Link, the Sheikah are the closest guardians to the royal family so it always seemed curious to me that there were no romance and children, unlike the sword hero who is too implicit. I feel like it's a wasted opportunity that Lintendo never thought about this hypothetical princess. Because the concept of a girl who, because of her appearance, breaks cycles of tradition in the eyes of the royal family of Hyrule is very interesting. Reading about Sheik's suffering over her hair made me think that my Zelda would not be treated well for the sin of being the first incarnation of the non-blonde winged goddess. I think that while her parents (king/queen and Sheikah warrior) had a wonderful childhood as a princess but as soon as they both died and the mark of the triforce of wisdom appeared, things quickly went to hell. Her relatives, Hyrulans obsessed with tradition, did not accept that she was the new reincarnation of Hylian because she was not blonde like the previous reincarnations. As darkness invaded the kingdom and the people prayed for the arrival of their goddess, the royal family would try to use blonde dye and lightening eye drops on Zelda but Grandma Impa with her katana (Think Mizu from Blue eye samurai) would prevent her. those rare substances were close to his precious granddaughter. The situation would escalate to the point that the royal family would decide to announce that another blonde, blue-eyed princess was Hylian and would force Zelda to pass off her divine powers as the powers of that other princess to maintain the deception. That would be the last straw for Impa, and she would proceed to escape with her granddaughter in a scene worthy of Mission: Impossible. Taking with them, holy relics: The Harp of the Goddess, the Bow of Light, the Sheikah Tablet and the Ocarina of Time.

Impa would train her granddaughter in the Sheikah martial arts, until she came of age to claim her throne, while Zelda witnesses how the unity that her parents tried to bring back was broken by her relatives. her.

I hope to know more about your Hilda, seeing her so sad and hiding behind a veil, made me so sad and tender. I hope she doesn't suffer so much for being different, but I fear that she will be forced to hide her Sheikah heritage from her or abused in such a way that she herself chooses to hide from her, she deserves the world.

Hi! Nice to meet you. I adore your story and drawings, but seeing the story of Sheik and everything he went through for being a non-blonde boy who received the blessing of one of the goddesses and the triforce of wisdom, made me wonder what would happen if there was a female Zelda reincarnation of Hylia but looking more Sheikah than Hylian (you know silver hair instead of blonde and eyes that can be red or a mixture of purple instead of blue), suppose it's because her mother is Sheikah and Impa is her grandmother? How would the royal family treat her?Sorry to bother you with that but my brain couldn't help but wonder.

SORRY. IT TOOK SO LONG FOR ME TO ANSWER THIS IS THINK TUMBLR IS GLITCHED?? It’s tweaking. Like genuinely tweaking. Anyways.

It’s funny because this is kinda lowkey the lore I have for Hilda in Shadow Over Hyrule. Kinda. A little. She’s the illegitimate child of the Hylian Queen after a fling with a Sheikah guy. But I had an excuse to show a character and GODDAMMIT IM GONNA SHOW HER because I think she deserves the world.<3

anyways. To answer your question my friend. I think that the entire prospect changes when you put Impa in the position of grandma because holy shit. So much stuff that happened to sheik would NOT happen to this hypothetical princess. The Queen wouldn’t even try to pull any bleach shit. Because Impa would be IN THERE DUDE. she would not put up with ANYTHING. It’d be OVER. More under the cut

Overall though I think it would change a lot. The reason that Sheik’s hair was bleached is because their hair was black, which, you know, the Royal family has weird connotations with “darkness”. Kinda like zeldatubers. It’s almost like none of the events of Twilight Princess ever happened. “Light is nothing without darkness, they are two sides of the same coin and when isolated everything becomes one-dimensional.” “So dark evil. I understand.” If they had grey hair, I don’t think they would react the same. The red eyes though? Probably a different story. Idk. Anyways sorry for yapping but I love hypotheticals!!

Thanks for answering my question. When I read both the novel and the manwha, I was struck by Derrick's level of power over Penelope, I am an only child and I don't know much about society in ancient times, but even with that, I felt that it was abnormal for an older brother to control more the life of his little sister, than the father. It makes sense that Derrick, due to his competition and the Duke's depression, was delegated the care of his siblings, which explains why Reynold and Original Penelope were so immature, a boy of barely eighteen years old, raised them. In Penelope's case it was worse, because her caregiver had incestuous feelings for her, and she dealt with them, verbally abusing her and allowing the servants to mistreat her. What scares me the most about Penny's situation is how realistic she can be. A father falls into deep depression, neglecting his children, someone within the family takes the reins, the grateful father, feeling that this member is more capable than himself, gives him a lot of powers over the children. With all that power, that family member begins to sexually abuse one of the children and takes advantage of the father's depression to make his victim believe that his father is not going to protect or believe him. That happens in the Eckart family, the duke confused his eldest son's administrative ability with aptitude to be a father, and gave him the responsibility of raising Reynold and then Penelope, ignoring the clear signs that Reynold was not well, an example of That every day is his abuse of Penelope. Let's remember that Reynold, even as an adult, continued to behave like a playground bully, clearly having enormous maturity and frustration control problems. That boy needed his father to teach him manners and how to treat his little sister. Not his distant brother, who if you looked closely, he was even worse mentally than his brother. Penelope got the worst of it, in my opinion, she was like Reynold, she lacked maturity and control of certain impulses, but she also had to endure mistreatment from the servants and her brothers. Derrick harassed her, looking for any excuse to punish her and keep her in her mansion, despite Penelope's supposed bad personality and immaturity, the only confirmed incident before Ivonne's arrival was the tea with mosquitoes. Besides that, the worst thing Penelope did was lash out at the maids when they brought her rotten food. Derrick obviously saw the food, but since he wanted to punish Penelope for the feelings he felt for her, he used it as an excuse to make her suffer more. hunger and keep her locked up. If when he practiced crossbow with Eckles is a sign, it is possible that if Penelope interacted with men, Derrick would make scenes like that, embarrassing her. Thanks to that, Penelope was unable to develop friendships, something that abusers always seek is to isolate the victim from her, something that Derrick worked hard for. That sick man was willing to condemn Penelope for her ridiculous accusation of having tried to kill the crown prince, just to keep her as a sexual slave. Honestly, it's not surprising that most of Penelope's deaths occur before Layla arrives. If Derrick started sexually abusing her, I'm sure the Duke would be the last to notice her, if Penny is lucky.

How the hell does Derrick have so much authority over Penelope? Something I never understood was how it was possible that Derrick, being only the eldest brother, could grant harsh punishments such as feeding his younger sister bread and water or restricting her mobility, without even consulting his father, the Duke. Clearly they have given me more power than a simple brother should have in my opinion, I am an only child so I don't know much about sibling dynamics, but it seems strange to me that Derrick has more influence in Penelope's life than her own father at the point. That when she is arrested, he is the one who goes to visit her. Don't you think that in a situation like this the legal guardian should go?

what is an elder brother if not a second absent father? From the start Derrick seemed to me more like an abusive guardian than an elder brother. His actions towards Penelope were never those of a brother towards a sister. Their relationship was not sibling like. In a similar manner I don't view Reynold and Derrick's relationship as very brotherly. It might have been different once. Before Ivonne disappeared. He helped Reynold and Ivonne sneak out to visit the festival, didn't he? Disobeying his father, that doesn't sound like something the Derrick we know would do. But something in Derrick must have changed after he lost his little sister and made him crave control.

Their relationship would be more comparable to a guardian and ward. I hesitate to call it parentification, because Derrick absolutely did not meet the emotional needs of Reynold and Penelope (he probably barely interacted with Penelope) but I do think he took to some degree care of Reynold in a way their father failed them. I believe he had to grow up too early and that his childhood was cut short given the fact that he had to be prepared to become the next head of the Eckart duchy and their father had likely fallen into a depression after experiencing the loss of his most treasured child. Perhaps Derrick wanted to share his father's burden and offered to take on some of his tasks. Such tasks may have also included looking after the children that the duke was neglecting over his grief at Ivonne's disappearance. Making sure Reynold doesn't stray away from the right path and gets in trouble, being in charge of punishments for minor offenses that he considers too unimportant to bother his father about, ironing out his mistakes, overseeing his education, budgeting etc. You can see where I'm going with this: Derrrick was a person of authority in Reynold's life (hc). And I think that's how he became easily a person of authority in Penelope's life as well. If Derrick did his role so well with Reynold then this could explain why the Duke entrusted him with Penelope. Though I suspect that most often the Duke had no idea what kind of punishments Derrick was handing out to Penelope. I can imagine that at the start Derrick was asking his father for permission for every little thing that eventually the Duke just handed a share of his power over to Derrick. And when he noticed that Derrick acted independently he found that it had a positive impact on their family interests, which caused him to have a little bit too much trust in Derrick's judgement without checking.

Unusual circumstances forced Derrick into the role of the little Duke to support his father and unconsciously everyone around him started to get used to it. Derrick gaining more power over his siblings than he should have wasn't seen as something weird, because he was a precocius child and already preparing to follow into his father's footsteps as the next Duke anyway. Everyone else was so busy searching for Ivonne or offering their condolences, they had forgotten completely that they still had two other children in the house which were in need of parental care.

In my opinion part of the reason had to do with their father's mental state and inability to act as a guardian, part was Derrick's overqualification in certain fields that made people trust him to take on tasks that they would not have given other kids his age typically, part was that his status as the Eckart heir lifted him above his siblings and he would enjoy certain privileges that were connected to serious responsibilities in the future that neither of his siblings would have to fullfill. I think Penelope's gender also played a major role given that they were living in a patriarchy where the domination of women through their male relatives and spouses was normalized. The story is set in a historically western inspired world but the author herself is Korean. It is possible that some Confucian ideas of filial piety still made it into the text.

Lastly there was the underlying idea that Penelope had to prove herself worthy of the Eckart name. If Derrick's treatment of her was that of a master to his servant or a noble to a commoner instead of a brother to his sister or a nobleman to a noblewoman then it was condoned because no one viewed Penelope as an Eckart except for her stepfather. The staff acted under the assumption that Penelope was living there temporary and would be thrown away once the true lady had returned. Even if some of them had objections they were in no position to voice them. Only very few would intervene in other people's family affairs.

As for why Derrick went to visit Penelope in prison instead of his father: plot related reasons. Love interests are generally given more screentime than side characters such as parents. Penelope's situation also wouldn't have looked that bleak if instead of her brother her father had come. Unlike Derrick the Duke would have shown that he cared. Besides the scene of Penelope trapped behind bars was important, it was meant to parallel the bird in the cage that Derrick gifted her and would serve as a hint that Derrick's desire for Penelope was dark and possessive.

I can also imagine that their father was doing paperwork, looking for a good lawyer or meeting with influencial people and trying to negotiate better conditions for Penelope in the meantime.

I don't know why so many fanfics go out of their way to portray the female version of Charles Xavier as tomboyish or looking like a grandmother. The Charles Xavier of the movies is a dandy who cares about his hair (when he had it) and is always well dressed. If I were Charlotte, I imagine her swapping cardigans and pants with elegant suits or dresses, in shades of grey, blue, pink and violet, just like the canon male version of her, depending on the scene and her mood. I imagine her a bit like Sandie from Last Night in Soho, but instead of murders, she is a scientist, telepath and lover of cardigans on lazy days. Parties are catnip for telepaths.

I have mixed feelings about Simón Newton, on the one hand he is an abuser of women with a gambling addiction, but on the other hand he is basically mentally raped by his ex so that he is complicit in the theft of a painting at his work, allied with criminals willing to torture him . I honestly believe that Elizabeth's revenge is disproportionate retribution, Simon hurt her very seriously, and he deserved to pay for his abuse of her, but why didn't he report it to the authorities? I think it was largely because he would have to confess that he had had an affair with his patient, breaking with his ethics. So Elizabeth chooses not to face the consequences of her decision to fuck her patient, if she decided to report Simon's abuse to the police. Instead, he violates her ethics even more by using hypnosis to erase Simon's memories of her. This doesn't sound too bad. Who wouldn't have the power to erase our existence from the mind of an abusive ex-boyfriend? But later it was revealed that she also ordered him to steal a painting and deliver it to her. At the scene of the robbery, we saw many people fleeing, several ended up falling to the ground and being stepped on by the other people who were trying to escape, they were probably injured at best. While Simon is suffering a mental breakdown thanks to Frank's brainwashing + beating, he mistakes a simple motorist for her ex-girlfriend, killing her. That poor woman about whom we know nothing, she was just lucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and tried to help a stranger she accidentally ran over, has just paid with her life for a love affair between two perfect strangers. We do not know if Simon was capable of committing murder before the brainwashing, he showed a clear inclination towards violence in his romantic relationship with Elizabeth and in his fantasies of murdering Frank and his gang. But he went from hitting his girlfriend and gambling, to having a body count of 4 or 5. Throughout the final scene he seemed to be in the middle of a mental breakdown, and when he is killed by Elizabeth, he doesn't seem to be in touch with reality. Did Simon really deserve to die or did he desperately need psychiatric help after being hypnotized and going through so much stress? Is Elizabeth just a mere victim who empowers herself by taking revenge on her abuser or an unethical therapist who, after her affair with her patient turned abusive, would seek not only escape but also revenge but not wanting to face any consequences for it? his bad decisions until the end? At the end of the movie Elizabeth gives Frank the choice of forgetting her or remembering her, it sounds good but it shows that she hasn't learned the lesson of not getting into people's heads because you can worsen her mental state, and hurt other innocent people.

I was in my bed cold and bored, searching on Netflix for a light but fun movie, when I found Once Upon a Crime. I loved the concept of a little red riding hood detective who befriends Cinderella and together they investigate a crime but the ending disappointed me.

Spoiler Alert

It turns out that Hans' murderer is Cinderella but it was in self-defense, Hans was a disgusting guy obsessed with cutting women's beautiful hair regardless of the fact that women refused to let him cut his hair. Unfortunately Cinderella had the misfortune of running into this creep in a scene that she uncomfortably reminded me of a predator convincing his victim to come with, WAIT THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING. Upon arriving at Hans' house, the stylist tries to forcibly cut Cinderella's beautiful blonde hair in a confrontation that reminds me eerily of an attempted rape but Cinderella manages to defend herself and hits him with a rock, unfortunately FOR HER NOT FOR HIM DISGUSTING HANS, he dies. Here I recognize that her actions are truly criminal although I still empathize with her because the victim is Margot, her stepsister who abuses her and kills her dove for being ugly and sells her cake. Cinderella blames her for the crime but it doesn't turn out as expected. planned.

Little Red Riding Hood discovers the truth and gets Cinderella to confess, so I prepared myself for an emotional scene where Little Red Riding Hood asks the prince for mercy for her friend, after all she was able to hide a corpse so that her friend can have a moment of happiness in her life. shit and had Margot arrested for one night for being a bully to Cinderella even though she knew she was innocent of the murder. Then the prince, who they said was so fair and strongly suspected the rumors about the disgusting Hans, would forgive Cinderella for the murder because it was self-defense, but he would force her to pay the penalty for trying to frame Margot for murder, showing us the girls that it is okay to defend ourselves from disgusting guys no matter how influential they are and the law is going to protect us but at the same time saying that no matter how bad they are to you, framing your bully for homicide is wrong and will be punished by independent law of the evil one, what is your bully because you are violating the law. After that, Little Red Riding Hood would point out that Cinderella's family is guilty of committing domestic abuse and that if the disgusting Hans got justice, Cinderella should also get it, the stepmother and her daughters would be arrested for longer than Cinderella so after paying her Crime would return home free from her abusers with the friendship of Little Red Riding Hood and the prince who loves Remi but pities her and developed brotherly affection for Cinderella. That was the ending I expected in 2023, where women can defend themselves against disgusting guys and have male friends.

What I got was a poor victim who is shamed for defending herself against a disgusting but rich and influential guy who got justice even though her murder was in her own defense while her victim didn't get her abusive relatives They were arrested for having her as a slave. Then the other girl Remi for not defending herself from the disgusting Hans, leaving her with a scar that depresses her so much that she hides even from her boyfriend, the prince, is rewarded with the prince's hand in marriage for acting for a year as if she were guilty of being attacked. by a madman while Cinderella is imprisoned for defending herself. Nice teaching, let that influential man rape you and then leave society so they don't see how hurt you were because you will be rewarded for your passivity with a handsome and rich boyfriend but if you defend yourself you will be arrested and no one will care why you did it If you are poor you will never get justice, you must be rich to get it.

Oh my god, Penny would be trapped with her two biggest abusers. The horror of imagining Gloria Kellen in a position of power over Penny gives me nightmares. As the wife of the heir to the dukedom and since the duke is a widower, it is very likely that the duties of the lady of the house were delegated to her, that is, she would have control over the maintenance of the house, meals, parties and servants. If the servants' willing abuse, tolerated by Derrick, consisted of exquisite rotten meals, toy cutlery, insults, and needle wounds; Now imagine the abuse ordered by Lady Gloria, a girl who risked serving a cup of mosquitoes to a duke's daughter just to envy her beauty and wealth, adding also her jealousy of her husband's attention to her own sister. her. Penny could now wake up with rodent carcasses in her bed and on her plate; if she takes the route of physically harming her, she could order her face to be burned and her hair cut off. Gloria would have her sister-in-law's dresses and jewelry destroyed, especially the ones Callisto gives her, because she can't stand that Penny looks prettier than her or that she has better things. If Penny complained, Derrick, as sick as he is (in addition to possibly having a fetish for dressing Penny in a chaste and simple way, highlighting her vulnerability) would say that his wife's actions were correct because Penny's clothing was inappropriate, He would require her to apologize to Gloria and then punish her with solitary confinement. If they were gifts from Callisto, Derrick would struggle to hide his joy, and would add that Penny should be grateful to Gloria, since it is wrong for a single woman to accept gifts from another man, then he would further punish Penny from meeting with Callisto. Callisto.

Gloria would definitely spend her time organizing dances and tea parties, where Penny would be constantly humiliated and harassed. Every time Penny explodes AND/OR defends herself, Gloria would play the victim, she would pretend that she was nice to Penny by introducing her to her friends or that she was just advising her without wanting to offend her, since Gloria chose all the guests, they would happily join in. to their farce, and would declare how "The Eckarts' crazy bitch" attacked the defenseless Lady Gloria. Derrick, as always, would blame Penelope and punish her with isolation without food or water, the Duke who only listened to his son's words, would foolishly shower her with gifts to buy her silence, and Penny, without anyone bothering to hear her version, would suffer in silence.

My personal headcannon is that the original Penny was actually a tomboy interested in learning to use a crossbow and hunting, despite these being activities not considered suitable for ladies in the Empire, to the point of not having special clothing for women, but rather men's clothing adapted to them. I think Penny might be interested in horseback riding, it would give her a feeling of freedom or get back to practicing with the crossbow. Gloria would bribe a stable boy to not adjust the saddle properly for Penny, causing her to fall, or bribe a knight to hurt Penny with an arrow, when she practiced with her crossbow. Derrick would convince the duke and Reynold that the fall occurred or the arrow got stuck, because Penny was very clumsy in its handling, they would never wonder why the seat also came loose or how Penelope magically managed to make the arrow turn around in its seat. address. Penny would end up deprived again of an activity she really enjoys, Derrick would find the perfect excuse to keep her locked up for his recovery and because he will no longer be able to go out to practice, and Gloria would get a new jewel and the pleasure of hurting her imaginary rival with impunity.

But would she still hold on to Derrick? What happens if she constantly dies as a result of Gloria and Derrick's abuse? Makeup mixed with an illicit substance could kill you, animal carcasses contain dangerous viruses, wounds can become infected and can be fatal, and let's not forget hunger. Being the Eckarts, I don't think a doctor regularly visits Penny. I think that by constantly being reincarnated, Penny would mature, she would realize that all her pain is because of Derrick, he is the puppet master behind Gloria and the servants, she would understand that Derrick's abuse is no different, that her brother is a disgusting degenerate who has raped, imprisoned, abused and manipulated her, just because he cannot accept his guilt for having incestuous feelings for his little sister, nor let her have a life without him. He has deprived her of her freedom, even allowing her to be accused of killing the crown prince, only to make her his sexual slave, he is a monster.

If Penny clings to one person, it's Callisto, he has the status to punish Derrick and Gloria, and enough intelligence and common sense not to fall for her lies.

Headcanon that Derrick and Lady Kellen were engaged in the og timeline.

My reasons for why this couple would make sense:

Gloria Kellen seems to be respected among the noble ladies and of marriageable age. For someone like her who is not from a notable family, Derrick is quite the catch as he is the firstborn son and future head of the Eckart duchy. It's not uncommon to break off an engagement if another suitor has appeared who can offer more power and wealth than the previous one, after all marriage back then was not based on love, most marriages were political arrangements. We also do not know how the Hunting arc was resolved in the og timeline. Her fiance Baron Tulitte might have been executed by Callisto for the assassination attempt, imprisoned or incapitated in a similar way as he is now, which would make a marriage with him disadvantageous.

The Duke had to give a diamond mine to Lady Kellen's family as compensation after Penelope threatened her with a crossbow. Through a marriage Derrick could retake possession of the diamond mine and avoid that further incidents involving Penelope could escalate into a family feud.

Similarity attracts. They are both arrogant people who abused Penelope and thought her inferior because of her lowborn background. Unlike Emily, rather than physical violence Gloria uses manipulations and subtle insults to agitate Penelope. Another thing they have in common is that Gloria and Derrick both criticize Penelope for how she used to be dressed. Lastly Derrick has the tendency to mask his attraction to Penelope by hurting her in the worst ways. Exchanging vows with the woman who ostracized Penelope in high society is something that Derrick might do. As his feelings for og Penelope deepen, he would become more desperate to escape them. Did I mention that the wiki states Gloria is around Penelope's age?
