Have Some More Plot Bunnies About The 'village Adopts Fae Child' Trope.

Have some more plot bunnies about the 'village adopts fae child' trope.

So since the whole village bands together to raise the kid, everyone tries to teach their fae child the skills of their profession. And because the kid is a magical entity, they soak up all of the information and skills given to them. By the time the kid is an adult they are proficient is a truly absurd array of trades. Hunting, sewing, smithing, baking, fishing, basket weaving, carpentry, etc. You name it, they can do it.

Another idea: the child is an absolute cryptid. They don't grow out of it. Sure their cryptid habits evolve and change as they age, but they are very much still a cryptid. The village is completely unfazed by this. Like you -as a villager- will put the kid to bed after reading them a bed time story, then wake up the next morning to find the kid gone and to learn from your neighbors that the kid had went out, tamed a wild moose, ransacked the bakers cookie jar (only leaving the cookies that had exactly 4 chocolate chips untouched), then went off to one of the other villager's homes to have a sleep over with one of their friends/adoptive siblings. All with the moose in tow. And you would treat this as any normal Tuesday.

Ok, this might be the sleep deprivation talking, but bear with me.

So, im drawing an eldritch horror version of Keaton majora. If I were to give it lore, then maybe it's a true form or something of majora, and the more tame Keaton majora design I have is a form they take on to interact with mortals.

What about plot for it? So like what if after Link kicks majora's ass, majora decides that link is now their kit. No one can dissuade majora from adopting the small horror murder child. Not even the small murder child in question.

So like, massive cosmic horror kitsune grooming a very disgruntled young hero of time.

Another thought:

Ganon: there you are hero of time-

Majora: *eldritch fox scream*

Ganon: GHAAA GET YOUR DOG BITCH!!

Link: they don't bite.

Ganon being mauled by majora: YES THEY DO!!

Next dumb thought: this Link becoming Time from the linked universe au. He starts calling twilight pup and wild cub because majora was always calling him kit. So like Twilight asking Time about where he came up with his nicknames and Time just says "oh yeah my adoptive cosmic horror calls me kit so I thought I'd just keep the theme going". And this becomes another "biggest thing he's faught is the moon" thing.

So story idea:

Take your "village of normal mortals adopt a magical/imortal/fae entity" trope. The fae child has horns/antlers. But that's not all, they have antler velvet! So baby has fuzzy antlers! Everyone loves their adoptive child's horns because look! Fuzzy! They can use the fuzzyness of their child to prove that they are harmless to any sceptical authorities! And the child is very proud of their fuzzy horns.

There's like, one person, the local hunter, who keeps watching the child's horns. We'll come back to that.

So years pass and the child is now basically an adult, they have finished most of their growing, and that includes their antlers. One day they wake up and look in the mirror. Their subsequent freak out wakes up the whole village. Everyone comes rushing to find that their child's horns are peeling and oh god whats happening to their sweet fae kid we need the local healer/doctor now.

So fae child is rushed to the healer, and while they are being inspected the hunter walks in, takes one look at their child's horns, and tells the healer to "pay up, I won the bet" so now the hunter is explaining how they know what's going on, the child's antler velvet is just shedding and this is perfectly normal for beings with antlers.

And while everyone is breathing a sigh of relief because thank goodness there's nothing wrong with their child, lil fae kid goes "wait... so I'm not gonna be fuzzy anymore??" And now they're trying to confort the fae over the loss of their precious antler fuzz.

Edit: part 2 electric boogaloo

(Sorry for disappearing for so long @ask-a-rathalos , college has been consuming my life. Thanks for tagging me!)

Favorite colors: lavender, blue, green. Also just generally any and all blueish purples.

Favorite musician: truth be told, I don't pay much if any attention to the musicians of the music I listen to. I guess maybe Owl City or starset?

Last film I watched: bold of you to assume that I remember the last time I watched a film.

Last TV show I watched: does Mandalorian count? And what constitutes as watched? Because if simply walking in during the middle of many different episodes counts then the answer is star trek, but I have no real understanding of the lore of that show.

Favorite characters (no order): oooooh, man that's hard. There are so many choices. For books I would say some notable characters are the watch dog (the phantom tollbooth), Hagrid (harry potter), Nick (The Great Gatsby), and Marvin (Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy). For video games some favorites are Piers (pokemon swsh), Aldous (Spectrobes), Mike (drawn to life), and Keaton (loz mm). Favorite movie character goes to obi wan (star wars). Favorite TV show characters are Gibbs (NCIS) and the Armorer (the mandalorian).

Sweet, spicy, or savory: I like all of them, but I'm a sucker for sweets.

Sparkling water, tea, or coffee: C O F F E E

Pets: none of them are here with me in college, but back home I have an adorable dachshund named Lily, a parakeet named Natu, a fish named Jennifer, and an elderly leopard gecko named leora, but I like to call her my lady~

One of these days I'm either going to write a fic or draw comics about a loz botw au where Link purifies a bunch of guardians like he purifies the devine beasts. So it's just Link and his squad of guardians. He starts with some guardian scouts and eventually escalates to a flying guardian and a battalion of guardian stalkers. He names all of them.

Also the idea that Link can customize their glowing pattern colors so eventually he has one for every color of the rainbow.
