When life gives you lemons...

The Fsa/Fs version:

Green: Take them and make lemonade!!

Red: Make lemon cake!

Blue: Shoot the juice into the eyes of your enemies to blind them.

(Or alt;

Blue: You have f#cking lemons, man! What the hell is wrong with all of you?! )

Vio: Eat them. *Starts eating the lemons whole, like an apple*

Erune: Don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back!

Ganon: Throw them like rocks!

Zelda: make lemon tea!

Shadow: Make grape juice, then sit back and watch as the world wonders how you did it

Vaati: use those lemons to make sacrifices as the world watches in fear.

Tingle: Sell those lemons!

Green: We’re playing Scrabble. It’s a nightmare.

Red: Scrabble? Scrabble’s great!

Green: not when you’re playing with Vio. They put in words like “ephemeral” and I put “dog”.

Green: you know you have more weapons then your fire rod right?

Red: And what is your point, hylian in fire rod distance?

Green: Don’t you think we’re missing something here..?

Red: Teamwork? Cohesion? A general sense of what we’re doing?

Vio: We left the bomb behind…

Red: Oh yeah, that too…

Blue: Who. The. Fuck. Dropped. The bomb?!

Blue: I don’t have brothers.

Red and Green: Then what are we to you?!?

Vio, joining in with Blue: Headaches.

OMG… pftttt Green is just like: I messed up…

Happy 20th anniversary Four Swords manga!!! Thank you so much for such an amazing story, and a wonderful community xxx

I'm totally making a new Links Meet AU, I've yet to come up with a proper name for it (suggestions are appreciated) but for now I'm just sketching up character ideas. The story itself is kinda... Not entirely clear, as well, maybe it'll just be an ask blog? Suggestions are appreciated!

Yes these are all sketches on random sheets of paper I use for work, I find it easier to get all the broad stuff done in little sketches and refine the design later.

I wrote a tragic fic then I regretted it and made it happy. I don't have the heart to do my favorite bois like that

You know, as someone who adores the Four swords adventures manga, I'm always confused by Green's characterization. Vio, Blue, and Red are obvious. Brains, brawn, and heart respectively. But Green? He's just a tad to vague for me. His main thing in the manga is some form of classic heroism, which doesn't really feel like a character trait iykwim? It always just kinda feels like he's supposed to be Link™ but that kinda defeats the purpose. So! I'm going to be rambling about a couple Green concepts that I think give him a bit more spice.

Aggressively average Green. Exactly what it sounds like, he is so horribly, terribly average at everything. Take his dubious characterization and dial it up to 11. Massive potential for an identity crisis, and easy to paste into the manga. His heroism is sorta the only thing he clings to, after all, if he's not the hero, who is he?

Mans fucking tired Green. This dude has been trying desperately to wrangle 3 would-be heroes into some state of cohesion, because he's the actual braincell. Sure, Vio has a lot of facts, but he has no common sense. Green is just trying to make sure his brothers(?) don't die. If it were up to Green, they would all be sitting at home with some hot cocoa and a kitty.

Go with the flow Green. Drawing particularly from the four elements that forged the four sword, we're leaning into the idea of the air element. Green's got absolutely 0 braincells this time, he's moving on vibes. Oh, we're four people now? Sounds good to me. I'm in the middle of the desert? Sure, why not. Vio's being gay with the enemy? Good for him. This is arguably harder to implement in the canon, but we can just say at the time he was just doing what felt most in line with the goal of "be a hero, save Zelda"

Ew Vio Green. Leaning more into their rivalry that was pretty awesome, we're making Green as opposite Vio as possible. While Vio is all "the ends justify the means" Green thinks you can't break the rules even for a good cause. While Vio is very into book learning, Green is very experience oriented. While Vio is an introvert, Green is an Extrovert. You get what I mean? Relying on Vio's incredible characterization to help bolster Green's.

Add more green character types in reblogs or comments pls! I really wanna see it, or heck, if you have complaints about another FSA manga character I'd also love to hear your changes!

I've decided to draw the Link with the best fanfics (fight me on this I dare you,) and the most fun to write, Four! Very different from Minish, thank you very much. Four is just a slightly too smug adult and he's got some issues when it comes to flirting with dark mischievous villain types. Absolutely Vio's fault.
