@1caru

well that was a short hiatus

Welcome to my Blog

Heya, I'm Icaru (they/them). I'm a traditional and digital artist, as well as (very rarely) a writer. I currently draw a lot of Legend of Zelda and Linked Universe art, though I sometimes sprinkle in art for other games, manga, and my own OCs. Tags for my work here are #1caru's art and #1caru's writing. Thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoy your stay!

My ask box is open, but I don't take art requests or commissions. I'm always down to ramble about blorbos or headcanons or whatever though, so don't be shy!

Other places to find me: Tumblr Sideblog (used for reblogging art): @1carus-attic Archive of Our Own: IcaruVonDarlus DeviantART (not currently active): 1caru

a quick update on stuff

So a little over a year ago I hit 1k followers for the first time in my life and I got real excited and opened up art requests for a bit. I was honored by the response I got, not just from newer followers but also from people in fandoms that I had not drawn for in years! Sure, I was a little worried that I was biting off more than I could chew, but I hoped to be able to finish every request I got.

I bit off more than I could chew.

I'm going to have to abandon the requests I still have in my inbox. They are all wonderful ideas, but I simply cannot find the time, energy, or motivation to draw them. There is just too much on my plate right now. I'm sorry, and I hope you can understand.

I think I'm going to go on another hiatus for a bit so I can practice some much needed self care. I'll be back with more art once I feel better. Thank you all so much for your support, I know I've already said this a lot but it really does mean the world to me. Love y'all, see you soon <3

Yo do you subscribe to the theory that Hyrule Warriors merged the three timelines back together? Cause I've been brainrotting over your necromancer au again and imagining Legend asking for help from Wars by writing a letter and hiding it somewhere where he hopes that it will be preserved until Wars' era.

Maybe Wars feels a little lonely after LU too, so he goes on a journey to discover artifacts left by the heroes before him and stumbles across this letter which simply says "Captain, I hope you find this and can find a way to help us. Rulie is not handling our separation well. Please come help him if you are able. -The Vet"

Wars immediately runs to Lana and after some convincing she agrees to send him through time to the point when the letter was written. He arrives to find Legend sitting with paper and quill still in hand, the faintest smile visible in his tired eyes, and he knows right away that something is very, very wrong.

Does he manage to talk some sense into Hyrule? Does he offer some other healthier coping tool? Who knows but oh man the idea is driving me crazy in the best way lol

Oh I'm totally subscibed to that theory XD

A tiny problem– the timeline is locked in the AU. Time travel can't happen to the parts of the timeline post LU (to stop a problem like monsters crossing timelines again) thats why any time travel item Rulie found can't work anymore. It'll be the same for the rest of the links.

I do think its funny to imagine Warriors finding Legend's letter and realising he can't do anything. No matter how much he asks Lana or prays to Hylia the timeline won't open for him. The helpless guilt? It'll be soo delicious

Hypothetically, Hyrule will be so happy to see Wars again but would grow a tiny bit (an understatement) jealous that the captain was able to visit him. How unfair!

I dont think it would go well. How can Warriors say that Rulie shouldnt raise their dead brothers when its his only way to see them again? When Wars can time travel to visit the others if he wants to?

When wars has loved ones around him he wont endanger when he goes home and Hyrule has to stay away from the princesses so the monsters out for his blood wont come for them? The captain wont be the one alone for who knows how long when he goes back!

So in the perfect run ending of link's awakening, Marin turns into a seagull and flies away. which brought up another hypothetical. (I'm also endlessly obsessed with Veterans Timeline, all my fave games take place there) Vet is sitting by the sea, having come to terms with the Koholint sword (loved how you handled the "where the fuck am i gonna store this" angle by the way,) playing some Ocarina songs he learned from the others. Seagulls are landing near him, he's tossing crumbs and lentils to them, and he plays the song of healing. One of the Seagulls starts to change, bright light surrounding it, so bright link can't even look at it, there is a clatter of a wooden mask hitting the ground and.....when he looks up. There's Marin, Looking just as shocked as he feels. Not having aged a day since he saw her last, still in that same blue dress. She looks around and down at the seagull mask on the ground, back at Vet and is all. "You....you uh....gonna finish that bread, Link? *Winning awkward smile*" Hilarity ensues as she meets the other hims. i had that rattling around in my head for weeks. finally shook it out for you. is it something?

Oh this is a lovely idea <333

I imagine poor Legend would probably need some convincing that yes, she really is there and she isn't going to disappear this time. Once he does accept that though, oh man, he never leaves her side. The others have never seen their Vet so happy before and it lifts their moods every time.

Wars is especially happy for his brother. His meeting with Marin during the war had been weighing on him ever since he met Legend and learned that he was Marin's hero. Now that she's back, he can finally share his own stories of their time together without worrying about upsetting Legend.

Time often watches the reunited pair with a fond, if slightly homesick, smile. He's happy that another of his boys has found their happiness again. He's also amused at the growing trend of a preference for redheads in their little group.

Twilight... is a bit quieter now. He's happy for Legend too, but that red hair is still painfully familiar. He tries to keep his thoughts to himself. The last thing he wants to do is hurt his brother with his jealousy. Legend, of course, knows exactly what Twilight is thinking and eventually confronts him about it. The two have a good, long talk about it, and eventually Twilight is able to warm up to Marin.

One day, Wild, Hyrule, and Wind learn about Marin's mischievous side. They are ecstatic. The others gain ten more gray hairs overnight trying to keep this new group of four from causing chaos everywhere they go. Wild uses the sheikah slate to pick Legend up by his bracelet to reenact Marin's story about picking up the trendy gamester. Legend screams bloody murder during the whole thing.

That night, however, he's still found snuggled up next to Marin. No silly prank would ever make him regret being with her again. <3

Your new header art is SO PRETTY

Aww thank you! I really should use my stained glass art style more often, I always love how it looks <3

Here's the link to the header art in question!

And actually, while we're on the topic, here's a link to my favorite stained glass style piece I've ever made! This one is from my Genshin Impact days before I started drawing Linked Universe art, so most of you have likely never seen it!
