fffffffffffffffffffffuck I’m finally done with this
I really like how it came out
although I started to get really lazy with the coloringI totally wish I had this dress *_* human!Fi, give it to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
((hi there. I drew Fi. kbye 0_0))
Out of character moment. I want to let you all know about Operation Fi from my perspective. I’ve chosen to put this on Tumblr, as I dislike being out of character for long on Facebook, and this will probably be a pretty long rant.
Operation Fi was created by Farore (on Facebook and Tumblr) and Hipster Link (on Facebook and Tumblr) on my behalf, offering art commissions in exchange for donations so that I can afford to go to the hospital. They are among the few people who know the true identity of Fi’s admin (the one that isn’t a cat, i.e. me), and over the past months since I’ve joined the Facebook Zelda page community, we’ve grown very close. As my trusted friends, and especially due to Farore’s interest in medicine, they have also become aware of my medical issues, which I will get into later. At any rate, I came home from work last night to see that the foundations of Operation Fi had already been set, and all they needed from me was confirmation that it was okay for them to finally announce the fund was for me — they’d been leaving things vague during the set-up phase, simply saying it was for the admin of a friend’s page in the community. Surprised that anyone would go to such lengths for me, I consented, and Operation Fi was a go.
Since its inception less than a day ago, Operation Fi has already attracted the attention of literal thousands. More artists have already signed on, including Dr. Scyther, Navi, Linebeck, and Playrule (on Facebook and Tumblr). People have been making songs and videos for me, most notably Church.
I have been drowning in messages of love and support (and notifications!), and I never expected any of this. I am so grateful to all of you, whether you’ve been offering commissions, ordering commissions, spreading the word, or even just praying for me. This is all still very surreal to me, to have so many people who have never met me care about me so much, even though I never asked for it. To be honest, I don’t even feel worthy of such a beautiful outpouring of love. I’m still in awe that so many people have come together for this cause… on the internet… for me. I can’t thank you guys enough.
Almost a year ago now, in May of 2011, I had to go to the hospital due to severe pain I’d been ignoring for months, among other symptoms I would like to remain private. Due to my lack of health insurance, I was all but physically forced to go; I knew that if I tried to ignore the pain much longer, it would affect my ability to perform at work, so in the end I didn’t have much choice. I went to the emergency room at a hospital in the area that I was told had exceptional care for those without insurance, and I suppose relatively speaking, the costs were lower than what they could have been (the hospital itself was very rundown and dirty, and a lot of the equipment looked older than I was); however, my hospital bill for all the tests and the painkillers (morphine burns like hell intravenously, by the way) was more than what I made that year, even though I was only there for a few hours. I still haven’t even been able to dent that debt. Worse, the tests showed that there was definitely an abnormality, and while again I would rather not get into detail due to privacy concerns, I was told that it could be cancer, among a couple other diseases that would still permanently affect me, though less severely. I was directed to visit a specialist to be sure whether it was indeed cancer, and told that due to my “financial priority level” (translation: poorness), that I would likely have to wait a few weeks for an appointment. Hospitals don’t like to treat people when they know they’ll probably never get paid.
The week before my specialist appointment came up, my symptoms went into remission. The pain faded, so I made the excuse to myself that maybe I didn’t need to put myself thousands of dollars deeper in debt. Four months later, in September, the problems came back, and they’ve been growing worse ever since.
A couple weeks ago, I nearly fainted at work and had to be sent home for the first time ever. It was a terrible, embarrassing feeling, not being able to handle my duties. I still didn’t want to leave. I guess I’m a bit stubborn. I vented in Skype about it, which is how Farore and Hipster Link know what happened. Over the past six months, the pain has slowly returned (it’s usually sharp pain a few times a day, but sometimes it takes a day off), and now I’ve been getting severe dizziness and nausea along with it. That’s in addition to the symptoms I’m keeping private. The day I collapsed, it suddenly became a lot harder to ignore the fact that I was told I might have cancerous tissue growing in me nearly a year ago, and since then I’ve been trying to find some way to get this thing taken care of before it takes care of me. Financially, though, I’m kind of at a loss.
Farore, as I stated, has an interest in medicine, and she is also aware of my unstated symptoms, as is Hipster Link. Most of my co-workers also know what’s going on, and I’ve been urged to go to the hospital by all of these people, but I know that if I do, I will likely be in inescapable debt until I’m old and gray. Out of everyone that knows about my condition, it was the Zelda community who decided to take initiative, and this has moved me to tears. I realize now that I had given up on myself. I had resigned myself to just waiting to see whether I died or not, because the medical testing seemed so out of reach.
So, there you have it. This is why Operation Fi was created. If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me, either personally through messaging the Fi admin page (Swordspirit Fi), or by commenting on the Operation Fi page.
Again… thank you all. You have my eternal gratitude for your support.
May Hylia bless you. <3

Voting for ships will begin April 1!
Introductions of the mentors will begin soon! Feel free to start submitting these introductions. No points will be given however, as the do not pertain to a specific ship.
Hey guys! It’s open! The voting won’t start until April, like it says, but feel free to contribute to ideas for introductions. The mentor ship has indeed been settled as Horwell/Owlan because Zelink definitely needs to be in the actual games.
askmalon replied to your post: Ooc: The Fandom Games!
Wow, that sounds fun! Canon couples only though? ORZ
nooooooo there’s gonna be some crack pairings
and most pairings aren’t canon in these things anyway…
I’m gonna have her put Owlan/Horwell as the mentor ship for now, because Zelink is definitely a tribute ship. But we’re still open to suggestions.
I’ve been running a race against life for a while, and unfortunately, life has caught up with me.
I’ll be on here occasionally, but for now, my (lack of) questions will probably not be answered for a little while. I’m sorry to anyone who has RPs with me at the moment.
I will be promoting my friend’s Fandom Games on here, though.
Hey guys, sorry I’ve been out lately. I’m making a post about that as I write this. Anyway, my friend Casey has been planning out a fandom version of the Hunger Games, and she wants some help deciding who should be the mentor for the Hyrule district.
See, the game is going to feature four people instead of two from each district, and each district is a different work: Legend of Zelda, Supernatural, Harry Potter, etc. These four people will be split up into two teams, which will be two ships/romantic pairings. Our job is to nominate various ships to get chosen in the Reaping.
But that’s later. Now, we have to decide on a mentor ship, to guide the little boats into becoming massive cruiseliners. As someone not in the LoZ fandom, she has no idea who the mentors should be. So I’m turning to you guys to help us decide.
She originally had Zelink as the mentors, but as neither of them are actually teachers in canon, and that’s what she’s trying to shoot for, I think that should be changed. So, any ideas for a mentor ship, anyone?
I was kinda thinking Horwell/Owlan, but if you have a better idea…
(You can drop by my ask or just reblog this (it would help get the word around) with suggestions.)
Oh PS this will be a thing on Tumblr. She’s making a blog for it once she gets everything straightened out. (Actually, she’s already made one, but she’s not really opening it for business yet.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you’re going to reblog this, please check that it says “reblog as TEXT” not “as LINK” because it will eat part of the post… unless that’s what you want~
((yes this is good
also I made one but of course nobody reblogged it from me))

I have never observed one such as yourself. I calculate a 60% chance you are not from my planet of origin. What is your species designation?

I am from Earth.
I have never heard of Alternia. I have added this planet to my database. I request further information.
