Eh,
Uh,
Oh,
C'mon man

@Wind_Waker
Haha XD
I'm sorry, I was just teasing *head pats*

Ha, I hear ya

@Wind_Waker
( ´ ▽ ` )

@Wind_Waker
Fyi Ame kinda gave some spoilers in the chat room :disappointed:
But we can talk here with no spoilers, if you want

NOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gosh, I told her time n' time again.
I guess it's just some peoples personality.
Thanks for warning me

@Wind_Waker
I KNOW, RIGHT?!
And we have both told her!!
I even made that stinkin' painting about it!!

I don't think she realizes that they're spoilers, since she's played through those parts, and since she's really upset about something that happened in the game, she needs to talk about it. I told her to talk to my sis about it since they both have totk, but she didn't see my comment ig.

And you're welcome, I'd hate for you to see any more spoilers

It's human nature I guess.
When one person holds the power that someone else fears, it's sometimes just too impulsive to hold back.
...Sounds cliché but it's true nonetheless

She was able to provide spoilers to those who didn't want it, and was unable to keep it contained

@Wind_Waker
……Very wise indeed... :thinking:

@Wind_Waker
So, not counting Ame's spoilers...

How was your day?

Either it's wise.....
...Or I'm tired
Pretty solid, my 7yr old cousin is staying with us for a couple weeks, and she's tons of fun
And how was yours?

@Wind_Waker
Sounded sage-like to me.

Haha, I bet that's fun :laughing:
Glad it's been okay.

My day's been pretty good, I got a new book earlier

what book? :confused:

Er, wrong emoji :pizza: .....

@Wind_Waker
Pff :laughing:

It's a prequel to the Hunger Games series, it's called The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

Interesting
I've never read the Hunger Games, are they as good as most people make them out to be?

@Wind_Waker
In my opinion, yes, they're really good!
(Though they didn't end how I hoped they would :disappointed:)
I've seen the first movie, but not the others. I'm anxious to see how close the others are to the book version

Hm, ok, thanks, maybe if I get the chance I'll try 'em out, I don't live close to a library though.

Though I haven't read/seen them, I have heard that this question has forged and ruined friendships,

"Peeta, or gale..?"

Ahem,
*Gale

@Wind_Waker
Oohhh, yeah, there's a big love triangle involving Peeta, Gale, and the protagonist, Katniss.

It's a long, hairy story...

Sorry, off topic, but Ame's leaving notes as her profile name. She apparently found Zelda or something.
But isn't it obvious that Zelda will be found in a TLoZ game..? That's kind of, like, the same story.

But I dunno, I'm not super far into it

Also off topic-ish
Have you read the Silmarilion?

@Wind_Waker
Hmm, that's... strange. And yeah it's kinda obvious... I mean there's official artwork for her, plus it showed her in the trailers (I think, I never watched any)

And no, I haven't read that one.
What's it about? Is it dystopian?

It's fantasy, It's J.R.R Tolkien, set in his Lord of the Rings series. It's my favorite book. Though it's a little violent.

Nice chat, but I gotta go.
Thanks for talking with me

@Wind_Waker
Ooh, cool, I'll have to read that!

Okay, good night! Thanks for talking with me! :wave:

Heh, It's fun to watch,
Vero and Ame are communicating fluently with their names.
Last thing gn

@Wind_Waker
On the emo painting?
(sorry, me brain is tired)

Oh ok, gn!

No, their Switch names, like I'm 'Resilient'

@Wind_Waker

Ohhh, sorry, that makes sense.
I don't have Vero's friend code, only yours and Ame's...

Ah, gotchya

@Wind_Waker
So how's your day been?

Standard.
And thous?

@Wind_Waker
Eh, it's ok
Well, my cat is sitting on me, anyway

I find it funny how cats have no measure of space. They just squeeze in

@Wind_Waker
Right? They're so funny that way.

Like she'll literally force her way into my lap...

hey, if you want to see an....Interesting... conversation, go to my anti-Tingle painting

@Wind_Waker
Will do...

@Wind_Waker
Oh my gosh XDDD What the heck..

I'm concerned for @/-HABIT-...

Bros creative, thats for sure

@Wind_Waker
...Very. Very creative.
And a lil eccentric

AAAAAAAANyways,

Have you seen Treasure Planet..?

It's an old Disney movie

@Wind_Waker
... I've actually never seen that one, I'm sorry :disappointed:

What's it about?

Noooo!
Its about-

I'm too lazy to explain

@Wind_Waker
Pfff XD
I'm sorry!

Nah, you good, my apologies for bein' lazy

I tagged you on a painting though

@Wind_Waker
Don't apologize for that, typing a lot of stuff out is a pain

@Wind_Waker
What's your favorite song from Zelda?

Oh gosh, that's hard, but I'd say it's a tie between Hyrule Castle (BoTW), Dark Beast Ganon battle (BoTW), Fi's Farewell, and The King of Hyrules Farewell from WW
How about you?????

@Wind_Waker
Ooh, those are good ones, I love Farewell Hyrule King.

It's a very hard decision, but I'd have to say Dragon Roost Island, TP Hyrule Field, Full Steam Ahead, Lorule (Dark World), Outset Island...

I could go on and on...

Those are all great too!
Though you might know, SSBU has a great Full Steam Ahead remix

@Wind_Waker
I love that version!

Also I meant to say that the Hyrule castle from botw is amazing

@Heroine-of-Winds Ho yeah, whenever I walk in, it feels like I can take on the world

and btw, you prob know this, but NSO gives you access to a bunch of old Zelda games

Ha! I feel that way as well.

That is, until a guardian kiIls me...

*strained voice*
Yep, I saw a bunch of them on the NSO menu...

Oh, I gtg for a bit, bye!

forgot to tag @Wind_Waker

@Wind_Waker
You know the person who commented on your Tingle painting, who had the flooding bathroom?

Well, they told me in another painting that when they beat a certain temple in Majora's Mask, at 5:00 am, they woke up their siblings to tell them

(I'm saying "they" because I can't remember if -HABIT- is a guy or a girl)

That would be the respectable thing to do at 5:00 am

@Wind_Waker
Yep
Just wake your siblings up at 5:00 am because of a dungeon

Though I have heard MM dungeons are insanely hard, so.....................................

@Wind_Waker
The very last temple is the hardest one I have ever experienced in a Zelda game o-o

I won't spoil anything for you though.
Though there are quite a few horror stories I could tell you

NO SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do really wanna get it though, I hear it's one of the best....Despite it's quirks

@Wind_Waker
Don't worry!!
I ain't gonna give any spoilers!

And yes, it IS one if the best.
Despite some very odd things.

It's got great music too

ahem
*of

Yeah, I know you won't spoil it
I wanted to get it before the eshop, but.....

@Wind_Waker
The eshop... :sob:

Well, the N64 version is available on the NSO

Yeah...N64....
Ehhh.....

@Wind_Waker
It looks terrible, I know.

But it's better than nothing `\('_')/´

I dunno, emulation is probably better

@Wind_Waker
Dang

Well, MM really is a masterpiece.
I've only played the 3ds version, though, so I have no idea how awful the original is compared to it

I might try to get into emulation, so that I can play Four Swords, the BS Zelda games, and the CDI Zelda games.

...........
...........
No, not the CDIs

@Wind_Waker
Ah, Four Swords..

Wouldn't it be so cool if they totally remade it for the Switch, but used the same graphics from Wind Waker?

Oh Hylia, not the CDi :scream:

Yeah, TFH and FSA would be great!

@Wind_Waker

Rnioqzuqxqbfoa,koj
Why can't they make them??

There's so many Mario games out for the Switch eshop, but not much Zelda...
I know they were working on TOTK for awhile, but still.
It's depressing

Ikr, even if they make it a perk for NSO members, it can't fail

@Wind_Waker
Yesssss :disappointed:

Why, Nintendo?
Why?

@Wind_Waker
Heyy, guess what?

Heyyy, whatttt???????

A question at 2:00 am, I'm intrigued

@Wind_Waker
I got NSO!

Also, I couldn't sleep, that's why it was so late. Or...early, I guess

@Heroine-of-Winds YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH

We should play something tonight!

I also saw you got Among Us, I have that one too

@Wind_Waker
YESSSSS! (^ ^
I'd love to play something tonight!
And since Among Us is supposed to be good, I went ahead and got it

Niceeee

@Wind_Waker
\(´∀`)/

I dunno if I'll have time until like, 9:00, unless I play ToTK with tha bros

@Wind_Waker
Okay, any time is fine with me :thumbsup:

@Wind_Waker
HOW does V not know who Daphnes is?
He's played WW...!

Tbh, I didn't know his name was Daphnes till years after I played it

I usually referred to him as the king of red lions

@Wind_Waker
Nothing wrong with that (´∀`

Hyrule warriors spoiled it for me, haha...

NOOOO, that's sad.
I actually own Hyrule Warriors for the Wii U, but I've never played it,
Back When I got it my Dad looked it up and said I wasn't allowed to play it.

@Wind_Waker
Ha, yeah...
Yeah there's, um... some stuff in there, but.. it's still a fun game though, and one of the best things about it is that you can play as a lot of characters
Midna is fun to play as

Cewl

I've heard good things, is Toon Link a good character??

@Wind_Waker
Yeah, he's pretty good, though one thing that I cannot stand is that they gave regular Zelda the Wind Waker, the baton, to use as a weapon, and not Toon Link!
It makes zero sense why they did that, because she already has more weapon options than he

Ah, I hate it when they do that, like they gave Zelda the Master Cycle in AoC

Have you played AoC yet?

@Wind_Waker
THEY DID WHAT?!?!?!

Er, no I haven't played it yet

It's in the DLC
And you're not missing much, I didn't like it very much

@Wind_Waker
Still though, when they do stuff like that, it just...

makes me furious! outraged! sick with anger!!

....sorry, I couldn't resist

Haha, yes, I can definitely relate

@Wind_Waker
(^ ^

@Wind_Waker
I forgot to ask you and the others how your day has been ;v;

So
How has your day been?

Prettty good, and yours as well I presume...?

@Wind_Waker
That's good to hear.

I'm doing good as well

HEY, listen!

Since this weekly challenge is TLoZ themed, I thought it would be cool if you Ame and Vero did one big painting together as an entry using the remix.
I don't think pixels would really tie in with a painting of you 3's styles, so I'd probably sit out.
This is just an idea tho, you of course don't have to do it if you don't feel like it, you aren't obligated to

@Wind_Waker
That's a really cool idea!
But I haven't played totk yet, and I know next to nothing about it.
Maybe Ame and Vero could still do one
And maybe y'all could find a way to incorporate pixel art into it, that'd be cool!

↑Delete after you write it down↑

@Wind_Waker
Thanks!
I appreciate it

@Wind_Waker
Hey, it's been awhile since we've talked. I've missed you, and our conversations! :')
I just wanted to check in on you and ask how you've been. I hope all is well :heart:

Yes, same! I have been doin good, my brother got me SS HD, so I've been having fun with that.
Hbu? How've you been doing?

@Wind_Waker
That's great to hear! Yooo that's awesome, great game (^ ^

I've been pretty good. I finally finished a painting that took a while. I might try to recreate it digitally :thinking:

It is a good one

I heard a rumor that photo reference capability like 3ds is coming to Colors Live, so that might be helpful for that, again, 'twas a rumor tho

How's school going?

@Wind_Waker
Yes, I've heard the same! Hopefully it'll be a thing someday.

It's been alright. Winter break (? Is that the right term for it) ended yesterday, sooo
It's always difficult going back after a nice break like that :sweat_smile:

How was your day today?

Oof, that's rough. I always forget when breaks are though

My day was good! Sundays and Mondays are off days, so I quite enjoyed it.

@Wind_Waker
Yeahh, it's not as bad going back as I thought it would be, though.

That's good to hear! (^ ^
Sorry for the late reply btw :/

How's your day going today?

Ah, sorry for the late response!!!
My days have been good, kinda bland, nothing super interesting going on my life.
Ive got a question tho, do spend more time digital painting, or traditional?

@Wind_Waker
No worries!
That's good, sometimes quiet days with not much going on are nice.
It depends. It's about even ig, but usually I do traditional when it's just doodles, and digital for art when I want to put more time and effort into it.

So have you played ToTK yet?

@Wind_Waker
:sweat_smile: no, not yet, but I've watched my sis play it some and from what I've seen it looks fun.
Though I do feel bad for the Koroks...

Yeah, them poor guys....

I saw you were playingto Links Awakening, how do you like it?

:gun: *playing

@Wind_Waker
I finished it a couple weeks ago, it was so good! The gameplay reminded me a lot of ALBW. I didn't know if I'd like it or not when I first started playing, but I've really enjoyed it. (^ ^

So,

Do you think Link is morally innocent? Or do you think he is responsible for dozens of d.eaths..????

I should replay ALBW tbh, it was one of the most fun TLoZ imo.
I think the story should have been better, but it was still super fun.

Also, I wanted to know if maybe you wanted to start a TLOZ contest with me or something. Like, a create a Zelda oc, or design your own incarnation of Link, something along those lines.
Any thoughts?

@Wind_Waker
(°-°' ....
Uh
Well, I think it's kind of a gray area. Like, he's not completely morally innocent, but he's not a bad person, either. That's just my opinion, though.
And agreed. Great game, but the story could use a little work.
Really? :0 heck yeah, I'd love to do that! That'd be super fun. Great idea!

Well do you have any ideas for the contest? Or do you think one of the ones I listed should be done?

@Wind_Waker
I loved the idea of designing your own incarnation of Link

Alrighty. Will you help me promote it? I was thinking maybe you could draw your own Link, and give the contest details, and I'd do the same, then we can both judge at the end. Is that good, or would you like to do something different?

Or maybe we should do a design your own incarnation of Link and/or Zelda to give a bit more creative freedom

@Wind_Waker
Yeah, of course!
Wait, so
Sorry, I'm a lil confused. So is the contest going to be where ppl design their own Link, or will it a DTIYS of OUR own Link designs??

People design their own, we just draw ours for promotion and examples. Unless you don't want to, cuz you dont have to, ofc.
Sorry for my bad communication skillz

@Wind_Waker
Ah, I gotcha, thanks.
And nah, it's not your fault, I'm just a little extra slow today

So, hows your sunday?

@Wind_Waker
It's been pretty good.
OH
AND IT'S SNOWING HERE
FINALLY
AAAA

Anyhoo
How's you Sunday going?

*your
bah

YES, GOOD FOR YOU!!
We might get some tomorrow, we've had some flurrys this year, but not any big snows.

It's been fine, we couldn't go to church cuz i was getting over a sickness.

@Wind_Waker
Oof, I'm sorry to hear you were sick! :0 I hope it wasn't anything too serious. Are you feeling any better?

No :disappointed:
But thanks for asking!

How much snow did you get? Did you get to do something fun with it?

@Wind_Waker
:sob: I sure hope you feel better soon. *hug

I did go outside earlier, but it's the powdery kind of snow that's not great for making snow balls and that kind of thing. I did lay down in it, which was strangely peaceful.

But hey, no complaints here, I'm just glad it snowed (^ ^

Thanks!

After it melts a bit maybe it'll get more packable.
And yes, snow is very calming, looking at it fall, or playing with it

Did you get school off because of snow?

@Wind_Waker
You're welcome. (^ ^

And yes, I agree.

@Wind_Waker
I did! I have tomorrow off at least, plus today, which is great :D

Niiiiice

@Wind_Waker
Hey so um
This is embarrassing, but uh
I may have forgotten the password to our collab account and lost the paper that I wrote it down on...

Oh, that's okay!
Don't worry!

It's fine!

...Because I forgot it too :sweat_smile:

I'll see if I wrote it down, I can just reset the pass if not

Yes, I got it, I'll give it to you next time we're both on

So I finished my incarnation of Link on my computer (he's not super original, but I really like it), so I was thinking I'd post mine on my account,, and if you draw one, you could post yours on your account, then we could post a pic of our Links in the same picture in the collab.

Tell me if you think that's good

@Wind_Waker
We both forgot :laughing:
That shouldn't have made me laugh as hard as it did-
And thanks for taking the time to look for it, I appreciate that (^ ^'

And heck yeah, that's awesome! I can't wait to see what you drew :D
I'll draw mine asap-

Yesss, laughter was intended :sunglasses:

Do think we should do 'draw your own incarnation of Link or Zelda or Ganondorf' ? Do you think we should include all, or just 1 or 2?

@Wind_Waker
:joy:
Anyhoo,
It might be too difficult, or too time consuming for whoever joins to draw all three of them, so maybe just one or two? Idk though :person_shrugging:
I'd been thinking like, maybe a draw your own incarnation of Link. But Zelda or Ganondorf would be cool too

Yes, that's what I'm saying, 1 of any of them

@Wind_Waker
Okay, sounds good.
Is Link alright with you?

Also, another thought,
I wouldn't want you to have to go to all the trouble to make one of the others since you've already finished Link.

But if you'd rather do Zelda or Ganondorf, that's totally fine with me :thumbsup:

Hm, I'm not sure I quite understand what your saying. My bad, its kinda late while I' reading this, so my brains goin brrrrrrrr
Anyways, i hope yo have a good night!

OH, I think I understand!

So what I mean is
"Contest! Draw your own incarnation of either Link, Zelda, or Ganondorf!"
Basically they can draw 1 of whichever of the Triforce Holders they choose. Not all 3 at once, but the they have the option of any of the 3.

Sorry for not being super clear.

OR, we could just limit it to Link ONLY to keep it easier to judge.

Tell me what ya think.

@Wind_Waker
O H

I completely misunderstood what you meant earlier, but I get it now..!
Sorry about that.
But yes, them drawing 1 of the characters and having a choice is a great idea :thumbsup:

Youre good!

And thanks!

@Wind_Waker
Thanks :sweat_smile:

And no problem (^ ^

@Wind_Waker
Hi
How has your day been?

Twas good, we got more snow, so we're at like 7+ inches so that's cool, but it can also be a little annoying.

Hbu? Whatve you been up to?

@Wind_Waker
Whoaa
That's a lot of snow o_o'
I've been okay. There's an art project in school I've been working on, it's actually a pretty neat one.
I hope you don't mind if I rant about it a bit. Btw don't feel like you have to read all this, tis but a small vent -
So, the project is a collage art thing where we have to make an original album cover for an artist and song by them we like. We can use clips from magazines, and patterned paper and such. I've decided on Michael Jackson (because he is absolutely awesome, love him) and the song is Smooth Criminal. I've had art block on it the past week but a friend helped give some ideas and now I'm finally motivated for it :D if you took the time to read this rant paragraph, thank ye ( ' . ' "

Wow
that was longer than I intended
Anyhooo
uh
conversation topics, let's see

. . . . . . . . . .
Your opinion on... snowball fights...?

Dw, I enjoy reading anyways.

I'm sure you'll ace it, youre a great artist after all.

I haven't had a legit snowball fight in years, but I've always enjoyed em.

How about you though.....???? What's your opinion on snowball fights?

And......

Snowmen...?

@Wind_Waker
Well, thanks (´¬`' I sure hope so-

And same here. It's been a long time, but they're fun!

Snowmen are nice too, I actually made one the other day. My friends named it Geete, because they couldn't decide between Pete and George :skull:

Wow, thats literally the best way ive ever heard a problem solved

@Wind_Waker
I suppose so~

@Wind_Waker
Hello
How has your day been?

Good, good, pretty average, hbu? Hows the project goin?

@Wind_Waker
Sorry for the late reply~

Anyhoo
Sometimes it's nice to have a quiet, average day (^ ^

And I finished the project, finally :D

Hey, no worries

Niiice! How many people were involved with your project

@Wind_Waker
It was actually a solo project, thank goodness..!

Oh, I thought for sure you said it was a group project earlier :sweat_smile:

@Wind_Waker
Oops
If I did, sorry about that (°-°'
But it was an individual project this time (thank hylia) group projects in art stress me out the worst for some reason..

Really? I thought group projects would be easier.

It says you haven't been on in 4 days, and it never tells me when youre on so I can't give you the pass for the collab

@Wind_Waker
I have social anxiety, especially when it comes to group projects, so I prefer to work alone when I can.

And I'm sorry about that ;-;
uhh
maybe we could plan a time or something
I'll be able to be on colors (switch) later today after 4-ish and probably tomorrow

I think I can get on at 4

Oh yeah, I totally get that, (sometimes being a hermit sounds good to me) but dw, you'll get more comfortable at socializing as time goes on

Oh and no need to apologize, I wasn't saying you did anything wrong, I was just pointing it out

@Wind_Waker
I sure hope so..

Also
now that we're both here
uh
password, maybe..??

Yup, gimme a sec

@Wind_Waker
Thank youuu
I appreciate it a lot

Yw! if you'll delete when your done please, gn!

@Wind_Waker
oh my hylia
i love it

@Wind_Waker
Done :thumbsup:

Good night, sleep well!
Hopefully talk to ya tomorrow

@wind_waker
Hiii
How are you?

Heyooo, I'm good, hbu? Nothings really new around my atmosphere, anything cool going on in your life?

@Wind_Waker
I'm glad to hear you're doing well :D

Hm well
Not much really
I did go to a family gathering today
And guess what

...
We had pizza, and one them was piNeApPLe :smirk_cat:

:pineapple: :pizza: :check_mark:

Something tells me I wouldn't get along with your family........... :grimacing:

I had regular pizza yesterday, and, it was great fyi
Any pictures in the works?

@Wind_Waker
:laughing:
Well, I'm pretty sure only a few of them like it, not everyone

Glad your pizza was good :thumbsup:

And I've started a few sketches but haven't gotten around to finishing them :disappointed:
I've been doing a lot more traditional art as of late.
How about you, though?

That's cool, glad youre enjoying physical art.

I haven't commited to pixel art much any, last thing I drew was my Link for the contest, but it's 38X38 in the same angle as my others cuz I'm still working that style out.

@Wind_Waker
Ye, I've been enjoying it, trying out new styles and colors combinations.

Also I can't wait to see your drawing! I'll get started on mine asap

I'll see if I can copy it over from the computer tomorrow, I am really excited to see yours tho!!

@Wind_Waker
(^ ^

I finished my Link, so I'm ready to post it when you are! No rush ofc, just whenever you feel ready.

And how is your week thus far?

@WInd_Waker
aaa I can't wait to see it!
And thanks, it may be a day or two ;v;

It's been a slow week, honestly
today felt like it should have been Friday :')
Although I am having fun in art
It's nice to work with clay again.

How's your week been??

Oh, yeah we got a long time till then :sweat_smile:

So you enjoy working with clay too? That's super cool! I used to enjoy pottery a while back. Have you made anything cewl?

My days have been a'ight, we took a trip the other day, which felt great cuz I never go anywhere. Used to I would have been fine staying home, but now I enjoy going out every-once-in-a-while.

*till Friday I mean

@Wind_Waker
Indeed :disappointed:

Heck yeah
It can be difficult but I really do enjoy it. Several years back one of my neighbors used to invite me and my siblings over to make stuff out of clay, and she'd let us use her pottery wheel and everything. Really nice of her to do that, especially trusting little kids around the wheel-

Anyhoo
That's cool you also used to do pottery! What kind of stuff did you make, if I may ask??

And what I'm making rn is a little frog with some mushrooms. I considered making a turtle but a lot of other students were doing that, so
Decided against it lol

Yoo that's great!! I'm so glad you got to do that :D
And yeah, tho staying home is nice it feels good to get out of the house and go somewhere every so often (^ ^

Geez sorry for the whole essay lol

Thats fun, the frog sounds cool :frog: sounds like it'll be harder than a turtle, but I'm sure more rewarding.

I only made some simple stuff, pots, cups, etc. I was smol lad at the time, but I had my own little wheel, and had a blast.

And write as much as you want, I enjoy reading it

@Wind_Waker
It was actually easier than I thought it'd be, so that's a nice change for once :sweat_smile:

Ah, that's cool! Sounds like a lot of fun (^ ^

And thank ye, I appreciate that

also I love your Squirtle drawing
It's so awesome

Glad it worked out for ya.

Thanks! The Squirtle evolution line is hands down my favorite

@Wind_Waker
You're welcome!
And heck yeah, Squirtle is fintastic. No wave anyone could say otherwise, water they thinking-
Just can't fathom that logic-

:point_up: :astonished:

...

:neutral_face:

@Wind_Waker
:joy:
Sorry, I had to

Ah, I saw you got on so I came,

but alas, thou were too swift in departure

@wind_waker
:sob: aghh we just missed each other..! I saw you were on Splatoon and didn't know if you'd be on Colors anytime soon or not :pensive:
I'm really sorry ;-;

It's okay, I don't expect you to know when I'll be on, 'tis a bummer tho

@wind_waker
Indeed

@Wind_Waker
heyy, idk if it notified u or not but i tagged you in a private painting in our collab account

since said painting was marked as private i have no idea if tagging even works on those-

I added my thoughts to the painting description

I'll upload mine privately in a minute

@Wind_Waker
Thanks so much, that really helped me a lot!
I was blank at the time for what else to add to his outfit but I have some ideas now.

Also I can't wait to see yours~

It should be there now, If you have any pointers or suggestions, I'd love to hear it.

I might try some more angles later on, but I think I'll just stick with 1 angle for now

@Wind_Waker
DUDE
Holy hylia
that is SO COOL
I love it so much
It looks so great!!
I also really like how you gave him a hair color that Link usually doesn't have. Makes him more unique!

And as for suggestions/pointers, I honestly don't have any :sweat_smile:
It looks fantsastic as is

Thanks so much!! That means a lot!

I think I might make him my persona, but I dunno, being basically Toon Link is pretty good...

@Wind_Waker
You're welcome!
And yeah, that'd be cool too, but it's up to you of course, tho (^ ^

I tried drawing him a hookshot (cuz they're awesome) but alas, I couldn't get it right.

How long should we run the contest for you think? 1 1/2 months? 2 or 3?
Also prizes, requests? I wonder if we should ask zyik for a super-like because hes given them to people for contests, but he gets asked a lot. I do still have a SL, but I'm saving it for something specific

@Wind_Waker
Ah, that would have been cool! Although I totally understand what you mean. There's nothing more frustrating than when you can't get part of your drawing to look right ;v;

As for the contest...
Hmm
Maybe 1 1/2 or 2?
Any length is fine with me.
For prizes, tho, a superlike would be nice, and an incentive, but then I'd feel bad for bothering zyik for one, because, like you said a lot of people ask for those.
And save your superlike for what you want to use it on!
Don't feel like you have to use it for this.
Maybe the prizes could be requests, or a follow or something?

Maybe 1st is a request from both of us, 2nd is a request from you, and 3rd is a request from me?
Or 2nd from me and 3rd from you, either way that would mean we'd both do 2 requests. Anything different you think we should do?

How about I go win a WC real quick and get a SL :sweat_smile:

@Wind_Waker
Sounds good, whichever one you'd prefer.
Haha yeah :sweat_smile:
If only there was other ways to earn them

You do get super likes for winning Weekly Challenges, right? Or am I wrong in thinking that?

@Wind_Waker
I'm pretty sure you do, yeah

Okqy well I guess I'll try :laughing: :sweat_smile:

Wish me luck, if I cant finish this weeks, then maybe I'll try nexts

@Wind_Waker
Oh-
I didn't mean that lol, I was just agreeing with you earlier and saying that it'd be cool if there were other ways to earn superlikes.

Also we can always ask zyik, like you'd mentioned before. Or, we can just give out requests for prizes rather than a superlike

Dw, I understood what you said, but I'll see, the deadline's Monday, if I don't win we can ask zyik

@Wind_Waker
well alrighty then~

I left a message on your pic

A pretty good entry came in for the WC, so I think I'm out of luck on this one, but we'll see. I had fun with the challenge tho, so that's cewl

@Wind_Waker
Hey, I saw your message, and I just wanted to thank you! I really do appreciate your feedback. :)

@Wind_Waker
Well you've got a good chance, I think. Yours is unique and stands out from the other entries

And hey, the main thing is that you had fun! (^ ^

And we don't have to have a superlike lol, we can always offer something else like requests :)

'Tis true.

I'm thinking about starting Monday, and going until April 1st.

Do you need a few more days to finish up, or re you finished with the pic? No rush ofc

I hope what I said on your painting made sense btw, I tried to accurately say what I thought

@Wind_Waker
Congrats again! :D

@Wind_Waker
Also, I'm finished with picture pretty much.
Although I have been meaning to ask if you want to combine our Links into one pic or keep it as is?
And yes, it totally made sense what you said on the painting. And it really made me happy that you could still tell it's supposed to be Link but just different. That's what I was going for lol, a unique look but still recognizably Link.

I was thinking you'd post your Link on your gallery, I'd post mine on my gallery, then we'd do a combination on the collab. If that makes sense.

I'm not quite sure if there's an easy way to combine our Links, but I can re-draw my Link pretty easy, so I could do that on a picture you draw first maybe? I dunno

@Wind_Waker
Oh yeah, that's a great idea.
Either way is fine with me :thumbsup:

Alrighty, are you ready? To start?

I was thinking

1st=super like
2nd a request from @Heroine-of-Winds (because you're the more talented artist)
3rd a request from @Wind_Waker

@Wind_Waker
That sounds good to me :thumbsup:
although I'm not more talented than you, but it's nice of you to say so :sweat_smile:

A'ight, I posted mine, don't feel rushed to do yours, just whenever you're ready :thumbsup:

I was a lot more nervous about this than I thought I'd be :sweat_smile: I guess it's cuz it's my first contest. I'm excited tho! And I'm glad you're doing it with me, thanks!

@Wind_Waker
:skull:
ohh my gosh
I thought I answered your first comment a couple days ago-
I am so sorry :sob:
But yes, when I get home later I'll be ready, and tomorrow I'll probably have more time as well.

I can't wait to see yours tho (^ ^
I will post mine asap.

And yeah, I'm nervous too lol, this is always a bit nerve wracking at first. But I'm excited as well!
And I'm really happy that I get to co-host a contest with you :) Thank you for doing this with me (^ ^

It's alright! I've forget to answer people all the time

I made it #tri4contest btw

We have 2 entrys tho, (one's nsfw, I only saw it cuz someone taged me in it)

@Wind_Waker
Nice
I'll upload mine after I get home later.
Also that was fast I didn't think we'd get entries already

@Wind_Waker
Hiya
It's been a minute since I've talked w you guys
I hope you've been well <3
oh and pls don't forget to stay hydrated okay

Hiya! I've had a reaaally long lasting cough from a sickness, but other than that I'm good! I'm thinking about drawing a pixel version of your Link soon tho, he's super cool, so I think he'd be pretty fun to draw, plus it would promote the contest.

How 'bout you tho? How ya been?

@Wind_Waker
Oh no! That's no fun :/ I'm rly sorry to hear that.
Other than that tho it's good to hear you're doing well (^ ^

Oh that'd be super cool, I'd be honored if you did lol

Ah, I've been alr
Some good, some bad
But that's just life tho (^ ^

Yeah...

Spring break is somewhat kinda soon-ish though, right? That's what I heard anywayz

@Wind_Waker
Yep, it's in a couple weeks or so

@Wind_Waker
hi
how's your day going?

Pretty good, I've been in the car most of the day, but honestly I enjoyed it. How about yo' self?

@Wind_Waker
That's good (^ ^
Oh fun, hope that all went okay
I've been alr, twas an average day

Anything interesting happen lately?

@Wind_Waker
Hmm
Oh
Well the solar eclipse is soon so that's cool
Not much else I can think of at the moment, sorry :sweat_smile:
How about you??

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

I remember the last solar eclipse we hiked to a high up spot on a mountain, and we calculated how old we'd be when the next eclipse came, and couldn't believe how long it would be, and how old we'd then. It's crazy that it's already here.

Nah, nothing new on my end per usual

@Wind_Waker
Aw, that's so cool :D
And agreed. Time has flown.. (°ー。

Yesh.

So how's the place of learning known as 'school' going for you at this present age?

@Wind_Waker
It's, ah
It's stressful I'll admit
But it'll be okay
Oh
have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird?
My English class just finished it. It's really good.

@Wind_Waker
Btw if you ever need to vent or rant or anything, I'm here.
I probably won't be able to help much but I'll sure as heck listen.

No, but my sister used to really like that book (she's a huge bookworm) I really need to read it though, I'm sure it's a classic for a reason. What are you're thoughts on it? I hear it's got a pretty deep moral or something.

Thanks so much for the support, I'm glad your comfortable listening to whatever crazy thing I might rant about, and just know I'll do the same for you. Life's been pretty chill rn, so I don't have anything really to vent about. Do you tho..?

Speaking of books tho, my brother just started reading that Fahrenheit book that you posted about a while ago.

@Wind_Waker
I recommend it :)
It's a good book, I enjoyed it. And yes, the moral (from what I remember) is something along the lines of to not judge or discriminate against others based on things out of their control (like race or anything like that) or how they look, but rather on their character and actions.
I hope that made sense, I'm a little brain dead today-

@Wind_Waker
Yeah, of course. I'm always there for you and glad to listen.
And thank you, I really do appreciate it, it means a lot (^ ^

.
Nah, I'm alright rn, but thanks, it's much appreciated

@Wind_Waker
Oh yeah, that's a rly good one too :o

Yeah, I need to read more, I always enjoy doing so, so maybe I'll borrow from my sister.

I just made my second longest painting ever. I don't know how you consistent artist draw for so long, I almost gave up like, 5 times through the process, so my respect for you artists has grown. I need to toughen up or something

@Wind_Waker
idk how you had the patience for that painting tho, over 6 hours..! And pixel art too, very impressive. I'd have given up in the first minute lol :sweat_smile:

Well it was mostly references, which honestly I think it's harder to paint by reference, but doing so helps me replicate the style, that's why I can recreate sprites that look like MC or Triangle Strategy. It's fun and rewarding.

Anywho, how's ya day been?

@Wind_Waker
Ah, makes sense. And agreed, references really do help with that-

I've been okay.
How's your day been?

Oh man, I didn't know you asked me a question! I'm so sorry!! I'm sure that day was good tho :sweat_smile:

Anyway, I see you're online, are you working on a painting?

@Wind_Waker
Don't worry about it! I had forgotten I asked, I'm sorry :joy:
And yeah, I just finished it. 'Twas an art project for school. I'm absolutely sick of looking at it for so long haha

If you didn't like seeing it while you were drawing.....

You shoulda just wore eclipse glasses. :sunglasses:

@Wind_Waker
:sob:
I needed a laugh, thank you :joy:

Well I'm glad my dumb jokes aren't worthless!
We really need to get the gang back together, Ame And Veronica are on most every night, so maybe I'll just start summoning everyone every night I'm online

"Veronica" :laughing: I guess I subconsciously clicked the recommended option

@Wind_Waker
I love your jokes lol :laughing:

"Veronica" :laughing:
That made laugh so hard
And agreed, we do need to get the colors collective back together!

Hey, how about we extend the deadline? I stil want to draw your Link, and we dont have a whole lot of entrys, so maybe we could get a few more

@Wind_Waker
So sorry for late response!!
but yes, extending it sounds great. Hopefully we'll get more entries soon..

Oh yeah
Speaking of which, would it be alr with you if I drew your Link as well? He's really cool, I'd love to draw him sometime. No worries if not tho :thumbsup:

YES, that'd be awesome!!!! I can't wait to see it!

@Heroine-of-Winds How you been tho?

Btw, I just started reading some Calvin and Hobbes, and I'm so upset that I missed my whole life without knowing about it.

@Wind_Waker
Yay~
Ty, I'll get started on it asap :D

I've been
well
I'm alive at least
yep

How are you doing, squish?

YES
I LOVE THSOE COMICS
There's a few really great ones that come to mind :laughing:
I'm so glad you're getting to read some :D
I'll be anxious to hear your thoughts on them (^ ^

bah, typo

So,

Do you think Hobbes is alive, or just Calvin's imagination..? :cat:

@Wind_Waker
Well, to Calvin he's certainly alive.
But in some panels it does show Hobbes as just a plush, so
I gotta stick with it's just Calvin's imagination :sweat_smile:
What about you though lol?

@Heroine-of-Winds As much as I want to believe Hobbes is real, like a Toy Story situation, it seems like it's only his toy. Though....... some things are kinda unexplainable...

How you doin these days tho?

@Wind_Waker
Agreed, There are some strange instances like that.

And on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm a solid potato.
How have you been, though?

Ha, never heard that expression before, I guess that means youre good..? :laughing:

I'm doin fine, these days don't change much, so I still lack interesting stuff to tell about :/

:/

That emoji is perfect on so many levels

A'ight, from now on Imma try summoning the gang at 9 o'clock SHARP each night.
Maybe.

Possibly.

I'll try.

@Wind_Waker
You could say that~

I see. Glad you're doing well at least.
Ha, agreed, it conveys the emotion perfectly.

Okay, sounds good. I'll try to get on when I can :thumbsup:

I failed my commitment on my first night.

Welp, I'll try again

@Wind_Waker
No worries :wave:

@Wind_Waker
Good morning

Good evening! :sweat_smile: Sorry I missed ya

Though now I can ask how your day went

@Wind_Waker
No worries (^ ^'
My day was pretty normal, hbu?

Same

@Wind_Waker
Random question for you,
Would you rather eat carrots for the rest of your life or apples..?
Also if I'm bugging you by tagging you so often pls let me know lol I'll stop :sweat_smile:

Agh, that's tough.

I've always really loved carrots, but apples are pretty good too...............

Geez, that's actually tough.

As much as I love carrots, I'd have to keep apples, I feel like they're more versatile, with cooking and baking, you can get many different flavors out of them.
You though..?

Tag me anytime! I enjoy it

@Wind_Waker
Wise choice. I'd choose the same, but then I don't like carrots that much haha..
Really? -
I was worried this bothered you :sweat_smile:
Well thanks!

Yeah, it's totally cool

@Wind_Waker
Guess what
In my half-awake state, I unfollowed you again by accident :skull: i'm so sorry
you know what maybe I'll go crawl in a hole now-

Wow, I don't think our friendship will ever recover from this, I suppose this is the end.

...

But hey, it's cool to re-experience the feeling of that follow again ig

@Wind_Waker
:sob:

Heyo, how's life?

@Wind_Waker
Hey :wave:
Well it's going
Yep
How have you been?

"it's going" don't spare any details :laughing:
I'm good, we just planted a bunch of turnips and radishs, and I got burnt pretty bad, but hopefully it pays off :fire:

@Wind_Waker
Pfff
Sorry lol, there's just a lot going on rn and I didn't want to bore you :sweat_smile:

Oh-
You got burned? :sob: ouch, hope that heals quickly. It's cool that you guys planted those tho (^ ^'

No worries, but I'm always here to listen :thumbsup:

Yeah, we got some peppers an 'maters coming next

@Wind_Waker
Thank you, I appreciate that :)

Heck yeah, that's great :tomato:
(did that work, I'm on a computer-)

Indeed it did.

@Wind_Waker
good

So whens school break?

@Wind_Waker
Oof, I should know this, but I don't. Maybe a couple more weeks 'til school is over? I hope so anyway, I can't take much more of this for much longer, I'm at the end of my rope

Also sorry for very late reply-

A couple more weeks? Sheesh. When its over we'll have to gather the Collective more often

@Wind_Waker
Agreed! I've missed our chats.

@Wind_Waker
Oh yeah, btw when do you want to end the contest? Or should we make a reminder and give like an extra week or something :thinking:

Yeah, Maggiesue said she wanted time, thats kinda who I was waiting on, but yeah, maybe we'll give a week notice

@Wind_Waker
Sounds good, ty :thumbsup:

@Wind_Waker
Excuse me, sir, but I have a very important question for you.
..
...
....
What are your thoughts on spaghetti?

Also,
If I have asked you this before, deepest apologies. This pea brain can only remember so much, unfortunately :')

Hm, I can't say you've asked me that one....
I think of spaghetti often. It is quite satisfying. My mother makes home-made spaghetti sauce from our tomatos pretty often, and sometimes home-made noodles, both of which happen to be delicious.

Pray, tell me your thoughts on the Italian dish?

I have a confession. I always tell people (I probably told you too) "don't draw for likes, draw what YOU like!" but my last few paintings didn't get many likes, and it kinda bummed me. Super random complaint, but I felt like I needed to confess :sweat_smile: And I know you'll listen.
ANYWAY, how's, y'know, life n stuff?

@Wind_Waker
Oh ho, you're gonna hate me for this~
I
detest
spaghetti
of
all
forms
and
kinds
bleh

Although I'm sure your mother's is amazing, I just
Can't stomach spaghet
Don't hate me please :skull: -

@Wind_Waker
If it makes you feel any better, I feel the same way. I try not to have that mindset of drawing for likes but it's hard not to, and it's always a bit depressing when the art piece doesn't get much likes or comments, especially if it's one you yourself are proud of, spent a lot of time on, etc. So, your feelings are definitely valid lol.
and imo those paintings of yours should have gotten more attention but people are mean so :(

As for life
ah
School is very stressful, both academically and socially.
I don't want to bore you with that tho lol

How about you, Waker? How've you been as of late?

:neutral_face:
It's fine, you can dislike whatever you want.
It don't mind.
See if I care.
It's fine.
It's okay.
:anger: BUT-
why not...????

I mean, the #foxturtle was just for kicks and testing, so I don't really mean that one, and my character sprites are small, and kinda unnoticable, but it feels rough when people don't share your enthusiasm. Which makes sense because of course they wouldn't care as much as the creator, so it's really just that I set my expectations too high. And thanks

for listening.

I hope school brightens up a little bit, I don't have anthing to offer academicly, but I know that socially it wil get better, whether in school or after. Some people just don't connect in their given environment, and that's nobodys fault. There's loads of people who would love to get to know you, you just haven't met em yet.

My life is good rn, other then the social problem we both seem to have. But I'm building a PC which is pretty fun, Imma try my hand at programming, since

I liked techy stuff.

Whew, sorry for the all that :sweat_smile: Feel free to say anything about you troubles/triumphs, i'll listen.

@Wind_Waker
Sorry for late response-
And uh
Spaghetti's just not my thing ig.

And yeah of course, I'm here anytime you need to vent.

And thanks, that does make me feel a little better.
Ooh that's cool! Good luck with all of that, programming is difficult but well worth it.

Also, no need to apologize, I'm glad to listen anytime.

Maggie sue said that she wants to enter, and will draw a picture eventually, even if we close it, but is busy with school. Do you think we should wait for her, or close it?

@Wind_Waker
Hm
I'd be fine with waiting for her, as we don't have many entries rn. Your thoughts?

I think it'd be ok, but I'll tell some of the people who enteredit might take a while longer

@Wind_Waker
Alrighty, sounds good, ty

Noice, 2 entrys in 1 day

@Wind_Waker
Agreed

@Wind_Waker
Hey, how do you feel about extending the contest to the 25th or later?
Ame was asking bc she wouldn't have time until then, and I told her I'd talk to you about it.
I'm ok with basically anything and I can't make decisions so-

I'd love to see Ame join, I was hoping she would, so yeah, lets extend it 'till then

Hey Windy :wave: Figured I'd check in and see how you're doing.

@Wind_Waker
Hi
I'm doing okay, thanks
How have you been?

Pretty average, as usual.

Got any 4th o July plans?

@Wind_Waker
This is so late :skull:
I'm sorry :/

uh anyways
We went to see fireworks downtown, they were pretty great.
The sound always ***** my ears but it was worth it
If I ever get tinnitus, oh well-

How about you, tho?
Did you do anything that day? :)

k.ills*
i forgot that's censored

Don't worry, only reply when you feel like it.

I mean c'mon, hearing is overrated anyway :thumbsup:
I just worked the 4th, had a good day a business and got to sleep in a little. My family hasn't really celebrated the 4th in a few years, but it'd be fun to see some fireworks again.

Done anything cool this summer?

Or *will* you?

@Wind_Waker
Thank you

and heck yeah
I'm half blind already, might as well lose my hearing as well-

Ah ok, glad you had a good day :thumbsup:
Hope you and your fam get to see fireworks again soon, that's always fun.

And not much, really
I went swimming with my sisters today tho, that was fun
I've thought about possibly getting a part time job somewhere but idk it's not very likely

Hows that anime show been? Is it a new fave?

If you had to work a part-timer, any preference as to what you would do? Cashier, stock shelves, lamp-salsman? Or any preference where?

@Wind_Waker
I actually haven't watched any more of it yet :sweat_smile:

@Wind_Waker
Definitely a lamp salesman, my dream job/j

Seriously tho, I'm not sure
I've considered some sort of job at the library in town, but it's all still up in the air

Haha! You light up a room so I knew that'd be a good one for you :laughing:

Librarian sounds really cool actually. Honest, that sounds fun. It's a nice quiet place with books, what could be better?

@Wind_Waker
.. :sob:
That made my day, thanks :joy:

Agreed, it'd be a nice place to work

Speaking of literature, reading any good books rn?

@Wind_Waker
Not currently
It's funny, I used to read nearly every day but now it's pretty rare for me to
huh

Anyhoo, how about yourself? Reading any good books :eyes:

I've got the same dilemma actually :sweat_smile:

I finished a book about a month or so ago (tho I hadn't read anything for quite a while before that), and I've wanted to pick up a new series or something. I remember you recommending the Hunger Games, so maybe I'll try to find it somewhere. Imma try to be more consistent with reading.

Important question here tho-
What was your favorite childhood book/book-series? Sorry, this topic exites me, I forget how much I like reading :/

Oh and if you're bored or don't have time to chat that's totally cool, I'm sure life's busy for ya

@Wind_Waker
Mhm, that's a good series. The prequel is great too, it's called The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, if you're interested, tho you may have already known that :sweat_smile:

Oh gosh, I don't think I can choose just one, but a few of my favorites were the Series of Unfortunate Events, Magic Treehouse, Wings of Fire series, and when I was rly young I loved the Junie B. and Ramona Quimby books.
I'm cuious to know some of your favorites, if you'd like to share :thinking:

Also no, I'm not bored at all, I always enjoy talking to you :)
And it's been pretty quiet around here as of late, I'm not really busy at all :sweat_smile:

Yesss Magic Tree House! My fave was Ninjas at Noonday (fantastic title :laughing: ) My other favorites were:
Peter Pan, I love how quirky and imaginative it was, super fun
But my all time Childhood favorites were the Narnia books. I've probably read each one 3 or 4 times.

Tolkien's LoTR universe is my favorite series of all though. I can't say I've heard of a lot of yours, I might ask my sister if she's heard of them, she's a huge book-worm (and a published author)

Actually I've 'heard' of WoF but know nothing of them

@Wind_Waker
I completely forgot about Narnia, I loved those too.
I need to read the LoTR books, we even have the trilogy and (possibly) The Hobbit. And that's so cool that your sister is an author! Also that she loves to read too.
And yeah, WoF was well written and had good storylines, I used to be super invested in it but gradually just kinda stopped caring as much :thinking:

The LoTR books are REALLY hard to start :sweat_smile:
I would start the Hobbit first imo.

How's your week been?

@Wind_Waker
Will do :thumbs_up:

Eh
It's been okay

How has yours been??

Just 'eh'? That's no good :/ I know saying this won't help but I hope it brightens up for you
My week has been pretty good, almost all my siblings are gone all the time now when I'm home, so it's weird getting used to that. Normally I'm good with staying at home all the time, but I've kinda been in the mood to do something exciting, just don't know what.

How's art been going irl? You been painting much?

@Wind_Waker
Thanks, I appreciate it.

Glad you're doing good
And gosh, that seems hard to adjust to, especially when you're used to seeing them more often.
And yeah, I totally get that. While it is nice to have some alone time and stay home, that can get boring after a bit and going out somewhere or doing something exciting is a nice change.

Also, wanting to do something out of the ordinary or exciting but just not knowing what is very relatable :')

I've been kinda artblockd for awhile now
Or just not motivated
''Lowtivation'' as Vero calls it haha
I've done some small doodles in a sketchbook but uh
We don't talk about that-

Oh yeah about a month ago ish I did a drawing I actually don't hate entirely so yayyy

That's pretty much it tho
Wow that was longer than I anticipated (is that the right word idk anymore) I'm sorry

Um anyways
How's the coffee shop stuff going?

I kinda wanna talk about it--
jk

Well, even if YOU don't like some of your art, the rest of humanity thinks it's great.
Maybe being unsatisfied with your own art is a gift? Pushes you to improve? Idk, it is annoying tho.
Business has been good especially around the 4th, and it's been pretty steady.

Also I tried Poky today. It was better than I thought it would be, but not like revolutionary. It is fun to eat though.

I tried responding a couple times but got interrupted so thats why

I just responded

@Wind_Waker
...
Just for you, I'll trace a couple of them from my sketchbook onto Colors.

Also uh wow I wasn't expecting that that's really sweet of you, thanks
I refuse to believe it but ty
And yeah, you've got a point. In some cases it does help push to become better but I just haven't been enjoying art much as of late

@Wind_Waker
That's great to hear that business is going well : )

Ha, yeah, it is pretty good
hey another food we don't disagree on :laughing:

And don't worry about that, it's totally fine

Nice, can't wait to see it

It true tho

I've got a bit of lowtivation too, my old computer's screen is broke, so I can't access all my pixel art, so I don't have any of my wips or templates, so I'm a bit reluctant to start over again :/ I had been working on sprites of you, V, and Ame, for like over a year (I worked in very small portions :sweat_smile:) but *kapoof*, all gone. So yeh

Yay, we agree on a food! Have you tried a bunch of flavors? which is your favorite? Japan has really cool snacks though.

Actually, Japan has a cool everything. Especially their vending machines. I love their vending machines.

Your Switch pfp is great btw

Also contest, should we wrap it up?

I'm not sure where Ame stands, do you?

@Wind_Waker
The drawing, 'tis finished
it's posted privately in our account

@Wind_Waker
:0
noooo, that's so sad!
Is there any way at all to restore it..?
And over a year, good lord-
I'm so sorry that happened ;-;

uh
For pocky, i've only tried chocolate and strawberry, they're both great imo
Do you have a favorite?

And yeah, agreed, everything is cool there :laughing:

Yeah I recently found out that Dark Moon, which was for 3/2ds originally has been out on the switch for awhile but under a different name, so
Happy but frustrated about that

and for the contest I think we oughta end it.
Ame hasn't mentioned it to me and she's got lowtivation too so it might be best if we end the contest

I might be able to replace the screen, I've had to do it before, so if I get a hold of another screen, which I might be able to since my dad has the same type laptop that he doesn't use anymore and if I can get it fixed I can import em to my pc.

I've only tried chocolate, but I'll prolly get strawberry next time.

Alright then, who should be our winners?
#tri4contest (for reference)

I really like V's and Rivertyna's, I can't decide which is better :/

V's is an interesting concept, and the idea of Link going back to being a more proficient magic user, but I also like the idea of an experienced adult Link.

Lunar's is fun and creative, and Lycario's is cool, I like that she put effort into a back-story

Also we must judge unbiasedly.

So my tier list:

1st vero or river
2nd (whichever doesn't get first)
3rd Lycario
4th/honerable mention Lunar

I kinda want to give Lunar a prize because she's always felt outside of the Colors community, but that technically is biased of me :sweat_smile:

What's your opinion? It's totally fine if you disagree with me, I'm curious of your honest opinion

Hopefully you break my tie there :sweat_smile:

@Wind_Waker
Well hopefully you'll be able to fix it, that'd be sad otherwise :disappointed:

@Wind_Waker
I kinda forgot the entries ;-;
I'm gonna go look through them again-

Hm
This is so hard :sob:
I love them all
Lunar's is so cool bc the Hextriforce thingie is original and super neat plus the water link, but then lycario really put a lot of effort into the backstory as well
And then vero's and river's are amazing too

aghh

Okay so

My tier list is

1 - Vero
2 - Lunar
3 - River
4 (honorable) - Lycario

However, that's just my take on it, I'd like to hear your thoughts too
And also I do somewhat agree with your ranking, it's difficult to choose

So, I've got a solution if you'e good with it.

In order to balance between our tier lists, i did points assigned points for ranking on our lists and added the totals.
Example:
1st=4 points
2nd=3 points
3rd= 2 points
4th= 1 point

adding together the placements of our lists combined that made:

1st Vero (8pts)
2nd River (6pts)
3rd Lunar (4pts)
4th Lycario (3pts)

Tel me if this is cool with you

Also, my eyes hath beholden thouests doodles.

I am forevermore changed

@Wind_Waker
That's perfect :thumbsup:

Pfffff :joy:
Thank you, kind sir :laughing:

A'ight, I'll see if I can post the results tomorrow, idk if you want to do that too

@Wind_Waker
I'll make a post as well :thumbsup:

@Wind_Waker
hey i kinda forgot what the prizes are for the contest :sweat_smile:

Hey that's ok!!

...Cuz I did too

I just got on cuz I remembered but now I'm relived I don't have to :sweat_smile:
How's tomorrow?

@Wind_Waker
Ha, okay :laughing:
And yeah, tomorrow is fine with me to announce the results, I finished a painting for it yesterday : )

Just lmk your thoughts on what the prizes could be, please
Bc I have no idea-

The prizes were listed on my original painting, if that's still cool with you

@Wind_Waker
Oh -
:skull: oops
Somehow I forgot that entirely, I'm so sorry -

I just looked back and yeah those are totally fine

It's okay, we all have goldfish memory :fish:

Vero better copyright that phrase

Btw, I started playing MM a couple days ago :full_moon_with_face:

:trumpet: :drum: :guitar:

:skull: :child:

I was tryin to do 'skull' and 'kid' but they just had 'child'......

@Wind_Waker
A child :scream:

The emojis made me laugh a lot tho :laughing:

MM is a great choice, you gotta let me know what you think of it
Especially some of the more bizarre parts of the game :laughing:

So far I love it a lot more than I thought I would. The 'bizarre' parts are what kept me from playing it all these years, but man, it's a blast. Love the dungeon, and I really love the 3 day pressure and strategizing what to do with your time.

I failed the Romani alien quest the first time I did it though, and it was..... Traumatic

@Wind_Waker
I'm so glad you like it!
And yeah, it's definitely a bit off-putting at first but seriously a good game.

And yes, the alien quest is very traumatic
It's difficult enough aiming the bow while riding Epona

Uh btw I also have a random question for ya

And what might it be......?

@Wind_Waker
It's nothing important, I was just going to ask your opinion on something
I'm considering making an entry for the wc, but I'm rather indecisive about it

So uh I suppose I just wanted to ask what you thought :sweat_smile:
It's silly, and shouldn't be a difficult decision but it is somehow

Hm, I'm not sure.
What are all the music related things you like? Any specific artists/movies/shows provide some inspiration? I know you did a Zelda band picture a while back, so I dunno if you wanna do anything Zelda related again.

Do any of your favorite music artists have any rival bands or anything? Or maybe mix 2 of your favorite music-artist or bands together? I think that's all I got for now, but if I think of anything I'll tell you

Oh and I don't think it's silly, I'm glad you asked my opinion, I'm glad I'm trusted enough to be asked for one

and btw you don't have to use my ideas, I'm pretty much much just writing thoughts down

@Wind_Waker
I was leaning away from Zelda and more towards actual artists/bands this time.
I absolutely love Michael Jackson, but he wasn't exactly in a band.
well except for the Jackson 5 when he was a child

Queen is one of my favorites tho, and they were actually a band, so that's an option too

Also I love your ideas! Thank you sm for helping me with this, I appreciate it a lot

Well good luck, I'm sure it'll be good whatever you do

Hiya, just wondering how it's going, I know school's back in over here, idk if it's the same for you

@Wind_Waker
Heyy
It's going alright.
School doesn't start for about two weeks ( :sob: ) so there's still a bit of free time left.
How've things been for you?

Been okay, this weeks been a bit rough family-wise, but I know it'll end up alright.
You got any paintings in the works?

@Wind_Waker
Aw, sorry to hear that :0
Please feel free to talk about it if you need.
And yeah, I've got a couple but no motivation, ha
Hbu??

Thanks!

And no, I haven't drawn in a while, might try doodling here in a couple days

@Wind_Waker
Anytime :)
Lol I always love seeing your doodles

@Wind_Waker
Hellooo
How have you been?

Good, good, got some family coming in on the morrow, so will probably be pretty occupied with that.

We've had some chilly weather lately, the reality of how fast this year has gone by is really kicking in.

How about yourself? How you holding up?

Thanks for checking in btw, nice to talk to a friend

@Wind_Waker
Oh nice, are you looking forward to the visit?
And yeah, agreed
This year really has flown by :/

I've been alright, some good some bad but that's life so

And ofc, I'm sorry I haven't chatted with you in awhile :( I've missed our talks

Yeah, they didnt stay long tho.

I see, I'll lend an ear should you ever need to talk.

I need to ask you something tho.

Whats your opinion on

Pumpkin spice....?

@Wind_Waker
I appreciate that, thanks. And same to you, I'm always here to listen
As for pumpkin spice, I generally like it. It depends tho
Hbu?

Well my sister loves it, and she used to bake a lot, so she made us TONS of pumpkin spiced flavor stuff, so I've had a fair share of it, but I haven't grown tired of it, so I guess that must mean I like it pretty good.

@Wind_Waker
That's so cool :D

Is there any particular pumpkin flavored food that was your favorite?
@Wind_Waker

Honestly,

I really like muffins a lot for some odd reason

@Wind_Waker
Omg
10/10 choice

ANYWAY, is school up yet? if so, hows it going?

@Wind_Waker
Unfortunately ;-; it started a couple weeks ago. There's been ups and downs ofc but it's been mostly okay

Sounds like fun!! :neutral_face: :thumbsup:

Only a few months until fall break :leaves:

@Windy_Waker
;-; yep

I
I just realized I made a typo with your name
Oops :skull:

We can't both be Windy!

So I played my first round of TFH online today, and......

It was a total blast! I had no idea it would be that fun

@Wind_Waker
There can only be one...

Ayy, that's great! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it :D
Any memorable moments, or favorite parts?

I love the coordination factor, there's almost nothing better done alone, it's all teamwork, and messing up is the best part! It's super funny picking eachother up and throwing em around and otheres tossing you into bad situations without a moments notice. I confess, I didn't like the idea of such a quirky Zelda game with fashion and such a whimsical plot, but I ended up enjoying the goofiness of it.

It'd be really cool if you joined, just sayin'........

@Wind_Waker
RIght, it's so fun running around and trying to communicate with others, especially if all you have are the emotes at the bottom screen. Fun but challenging-
And yes the totem time is the best part :laughing:
The outfits are crazy but they definitely add to it and make the game more unique.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it :D
And I'd love to join and play omg-

Are you able to..?

Have you done all the hacking stuff?

@Wind_Waker
Aw no, I forgot about that-
Okay well
I was able to hack a 2ds awhile back shortly before the online services shut down, but it's not on my ds that I normally use but it should still work because we have TFH as a cartridge, not digital.
Sooo hopefully there's some way it could work?

It should soon long as you download Pretendo Network, just google it and there are step-by-step instructions to download it, then you should be able to play online

*so not soon

@Wind_Waker
Will do >:)

Hiya, been a minute. How's life and such?

@Wind_Waker
Hi! :)
It's good to talk to you again

And I've been alr, just trying to get through school and homework :'>
I'm also reading Lord of the Flies rn for my English class, have you ever read it by any chance??

Also how have you been :0

Fun stuff, I don't envy you.
I actually haven't read it because it got spoiled to me, so I haven't had the drive to read it. How is it? I hear it's both a great and terrible book.

And agreed, it's good to talk

Is it showing signs of fall where your at?

@Wind_Waker
Oh noooo :sob: that's so frustrating :(
And yeah it's difficult to start a book if it's been spoiled
We haven't gotten too far in it yet, but it's pretty good. Dark stuff but that's just part of the theme I suppose

As for the weather, it's only cooled off very slightly, not nearly enough :/
How about you, tho? Has it cooled down any or is it still terribly hot?

Well, since you ask about the weather....

It's been rough :laughing: Rain. Rain for days, wind that could knock me down flat, and knocked soooo may trees down around us, power outages, and other fun things. We've had family staying with us the past couple days because multiple trees had fallen on there house, so it's been an interesting time. So it was bad weather, but not bad for us specifically, we did ok Thank God our house had minimal issues, so we were able to shelter some family for a bit

There's a lot of people who've had it pretty rough tho :/

Sorry for the delay in responding, but I'm pretty sure you understand why I was delayed at this point

How are things on your end right now?

@Wind_Waker
Oh my gosh
That's terrible D:
I'm so sorry to hear that
Are you and your family ok??

Also please don't apologize for that omg :sob:

Yeah, we're all good, I didnt mean to portray that comment as panic, sorry to make you worry. it was just a wild time is all. We've got family staying with us so we've been in good spirits. Funnily enough tho, when the power went out it was pretty nice.

How's school going? Any eventful-events?

@Wind_Waker
I'm glad you're all okay :0
Also don't apologize for that :sob:
Glad ur in good spirits :D

School is
uh
it's going
I got sick on Sunday and I've had to miss nearly the entire week, so I've got a lot of work to make up :sweat_smile:
It'll be fine tho

Thanks!

Being sick during warm weather drives me bonkers, so you def have my sympathy. Watch a good movie, that'll help. Hope you get better!

@Wind_Waker
Of course (^ ^

Aw, thanks :D I'll be sure to do that lol
