Bwahahaha, I've been looking for an economic way to express my pet peeves of the Zelda fandom for a long time, and I think I've found it.
(First off, I'm a purist, and I try my best not to write fanfiction so indulgent that it destroys canon- I write to show my love for the series, so I do my best not to alter what I love. I understand that most artists write for indulgence of personal fantasies, and while I have to laugh at some of the stuff you guys bend in your favor, I understand that you guys are fun people, and want you to understand that these pieces of mine are in no way meant to directly flame or insult your art, stories, or your personal character- this is all in fun, just to give people a little something to think about, nothing more. ^^)
Expect to see a lot of these, from various characters- and I'll have blanks, too. ;
Poor Dark Link. He was a totally badass monster character until one day someone woke up and thought, 'Hey, Link's evil twin! That's a yaoi cliche'! Let's change his name to Sir Cutesy BishonenMcFucksalot!!!'
Of course if you've even played a Zelda game with him in it, you know that Dark Link is a bad guy. In my mind, he is not even a person- he is a Dark spell, a magical negative, a false demonic entity- he has no true personality of his own (except perhaps in Himekawa's FS comics, but those aren't totally canon), just ingrained orders to eliminate Link- no true form of his own (and no genitailia, of course! Because technically his clothes are a part of him because he's a doppelganger? a mirror image?).
If Dark were to ever get Link into an embrace, he/it would strangle or choke Link to death if he/it could. If Dark could get his mouth over Link's, it would likely be an attempt at soul-sucking.
Turning Dark into a bishonen is an insult to his character, and a inconsistancy in canon. There is a great amount of symbolism behind the Dark Link fight, and all that is corrupted if the two have a sexual relationship (which, as I mentioned, in theory, is impossible). It's about conquering the greed and evils of your human self, and rising as the pure-hearted victor and a better person as a whole, understanding your own weaknesses, etc..
If the relationship is changed to love, the message is more like, love your vices, feed them and let them grow, let them permeate your soul and take away your purity.
I agree with this, I see it that if they have a sexual relationship Link is giving up everything he is a Hero for because he would be giving in to his dark side.
Also you are correct about Dark Link only having the purpose to destroy Link, I am just glad to see a Dark Link pic that isn't more of that yaoi that drives me mad.

Ah ha ha ha THANK YOU. I for one, never understood why Dark Link was turned into a potential rapist, so I'm happy to know someone thinks like I do.
I do indulge in my own personal fantasies *cough* but the idea of D!LinkxLink never came to mind. Too much hatred and 'must kill' eminating from that boy.... shadow... thing.
Hehehe. wow that made me laugh so hard, especially your last little comment.
I wont deny it, i indeed draw things and bend them to my own will alot of times. (I can't phrase it the way you did but you know what I mean) In fact that's what I do with my pictures and some of my comics. How ever in the doujinhsi I'm working on, I'm trying hard not to do that. And yes of course it will happen naturally simply because it wouldn't be a fanfic otherwise, some of my will has to be in there XD But again you know what I mean
Ah but this was too funny. Good stuff, chica! (And so true XD)
XD I've seen that pairing...but didn't understand it 'cause I didn't know who the Dark Link was. Then I saw some Zelda vids and flash animations with the dark one in it and ditched what I saw in it...'cause one pic I saw was pretty hot and I thought it was a different person too. My mistake. xD
I found your explanation to your opinion quite amusing, and I dunno why either. *hops off into the distance and burns into the sun*
Meh, it's an art TRADE, though. ; Really, people are always entitled to their opinions (much to my eternal torture XD.)
Just, I don't know how they could squeeze this one out of the scenarios in the game. I really can't. But I'm that purist who never lets anyone have fun. XD;;
Well, and from what i know about yaoi culture, (which is not too much, mind you), the whole "fucking yourself" thing is rather commonly exploited. Doesn't seem to me something that Link would do , but I guess his personality has always been a pretty blank slate. ;

Above all else, Link having it off with his shadow is egotistical.

And what's with all the overromanicization of the guy- the white skin, the "cutesy" red eyes, etc?
You can reinterpret Dark in your context, but if we're working in established Zelda canon, there is no reason smut like that should be happening.
