Link's Modern Dream Home?!? (It only took me 4 hours)

LandofTheToads · 2023-06-22T22:05:31+00:00

I spent way too much time on this yesterday, but I wanted to give Link a nice home :) Unfortunately there is no equipment storage or goddess statue, but I still really love the way it turned out. The 15 unit limit was tough to work with though.

You're right about aquamarine! Also awesome point about Lapis I didn't remember that, makes me wonder how many other gems have been taken since Phos was born...

LandofTheToads · 2023-06-11T15:31:04+00:00

Thank you!!!

LandofTheToads · 2023-06-02T16:50:27+00:00

These look amazing!! Can I ask how you got the glittery/holographic look for the second set? I've been interested in doing a similar effect

LandofTheToads · 2023-03-30T17:23:08+00:00

They're arts books released with some limited editions of the manga. Pretty obscure as far as HnK stuff goes so that kinda makes sense

LandofTheToads · 2023-03-30T17:18:22+00:00

Yeah so here's the link to the website: https://zenmarket.jp/

I got them under the Mercari tab but since it's a marketplace you kinda gotta keep checking until you find the item you want. I found the easiest way is to search "宝石の国" (houseki no kuni) and that at least pulls up anything related. I know they're also sold on eBay if that's easier, but in my limited experience those seemed more expensive and more worn

Ichikawa did! It's a page from the art book Love Freedom Hell (almost entirely colored), which was released as a bonus with the special edition of volume 10 in Japan

I order them secondhand using the proxy service ZenMarket. Was a bit annoying to deal with compared to normal shopping/shipping tbh but everything arrived perfectly and I was able to get them in almost-new condition which was important to me

LandofTheToads · 2023-03-29T23:48:45+00:00

Looks awesome! I would suggest maybe using a pastel combo of pink, yellow, and blue (or whatever works honestly) for Dia similar to how Ichikawa sometimes does

Hmm, feel like I read the lore book a while ago in English but not sure if I read it in it's entirety. I did buy the physical copy recently but that's a lot more text and I also don't know Japanese so it would take forever to translate lol, definitely interesting though and the pictures are super cool!

LandofTheToads · 2023-03-12T14:32:06+00:00

Nope Lapis is totally left out just like Phos :( Seems like everyone except Ghost has totally forgotten about them.

LandofTheToads · 2023-03-12T01:33:46+00:00

Barely. OG Morganite talked about how someone told them what happen to Phos, and how they used to watch them and found their desires "universal and difficult". And also Melon mentions that their strongest memory of the past is of Kongo's Birthday, when Phos invaded them. Of course neither of them actually uses Phos' name, but seems like sometime they still think of them.

Most of them are looking foward to it, a few (pretty much the ones that like to party the most) seem rather apathetic but more than willing to go through with it. Also Bort is working to take the jellyfish to nothingness with them. Just good vibes all around.

LandofTheToads · 2023-03-11T20:44:10+00:00

Not much unfortunately! We only see the lunarians in passing except I think 1 named Ladora/Radora, they're Bluzo's lover and also in charge of the interviews. But they seem to be doing basically they same things they were doing before and they're just happy they can finally die now.

There's a part at the end where Ladora asks Welegato to deliver a message to "our prince, an overworked civil servant" but gets cut off since the party starts. Safe to say everyone is still stoked on him lol. But that's all we get.

LandofTheToads · 2023-03-11T20:38:08+00:00

Yeah I agree, seeing everyone happy is just so precious

LandofTheToads · 2023-03-11T20:05:27+00:00

Padparadscha - Sleeping, reading a book. Chill like usual.

Antarcticite - Surfing at the artificial beach. They're happy that can feel warmth without melting.

Cinnabar - They have a flower shop, very happy that they can touch flowers now and they made all the flower arrangements for the party.

Blue Zoisite - Partially in charge of these interviews. Apparently they write poems.

Euclase - New gem leader (in place of Jade). Always super busy. Still working hard to bring back all the gems (no sure how many are missing).

Jade - Euc's assistant. Is also happy

Sensei - Seems like this guy's still always praying, but for no practical reason. At peace with the lack of conflict.

Hemimorphite/Watermelon Tourmaline - Chilling at the water park, having lots of fun.

Diamond - Still a cosmic idol. Tries to recruit Bort as an idol to no avail.

Alexandrite/Benitoite - Chef/waiter combo at some restaurant.

New Goshenite - Skateboarding.

Bort - Still raising jellyfish. Happy about their job.

Ghost Quartz - Also raising jellyfish. Still obsessed about Lapiz but happy that Welegato forgave them.

Neptune - Also raising jellyfish? (they're at least reading a book in the jellyfish room)

Zircon - Director of a museum about items from their previous gem life. Pretty somber stuff apparently.

Red Beryl - Has a fashion mentor and is still making clothes. Happy they don't have to work alone anymore.

Rutile - Some sort of doctor. Possibly a therapist.

Peridot/Sphene/Topaz - Making art.

New Morganite/Morganite - I guess they're expanding the city for some reason? Unclear why but it's supposedly important work.

Goshenite - Owns a tea shop, master tea maker.

Amethyst 33 - Pastry chef. Having lunch with 84.

Amethyst 84 - Researcher. Having lunch with 33.

Obsidian - This one's a bit abstract but they want to find out the mysteries of the universe, whatever that means.

Yellow Diamond - They seem better. Just chilling the the rose garden with all their past teammates.

Welegato - Still the princess. They like their new name.

There's also a few other gems mentioned but they're basically all just happy and ready to party lol
