Anon asked: what's everyone like during the dreaded finals week? who's breezing through it just fine and who's probably going insane from the stress?
So here are my headcannons for the students during finals week (so no Urbosa or Daruk directly :(... maybe next time)
Zelda
- She's low-key stressing
- Mechanical engineering is no joke
- She's trying to act cool as a cucumber
- But she's snapping a lil when people talk to her
- She apologizes right after
- Goes to Urbosa for some help and de-stressing
- (They absolutely drink so much tea)
- (It calms Zelda down)
- She just has a lot on her plate
- And a lot to live up to in terms of people's expectations of her
Mipha
- She doesn't stress
- At least not in the traditional sense
- She has her concerns and her doubts
- But she knows that she'll do the best she can
- And that's what counts
- She has a wonderful support system
- Between her friends at school
- And her family back home
- A family that absolutely sends her finals week gifts
- Sidon has daily video calls with her
- And always makes her laugh
Link
- This boy also doesn't stress
- In fact, he's the one Zelda snaps at the most since he seems to just skate by pretty easily
- He's the kind of guy that studies last minute and aces everything
- However, he's also the guy that checks on his friends
- Absolutely makes them meals
- Absolutely gives them the space they need
- Absolutely becomes the person who quizzes them on whatever it is they're studying
- He's the best boy
- He's the boy you want in your corner
Revali
- This boy…
- This boy has reverse performance anxiety
- If he's studying in a group, he knows his shit
- If he's on his own…
- That's when the stress and doubt creep in
- And given his penchant for being alone, he stresses a lot
- However, the others know what's going on
- And they leave him small gifts to make him feel better
- He'd never say it, but the small treats left by Link that remind him of home?
- Those are his favorites
- And those are the things that help him through the week
Impa
- Also stresses
- Like… high-key stresses
- Between making sure Purah, Robbie, and the gang are doing well with their finals
- She has little time for hers
- Not to mention how her major requires a lot of projects
- She's trying to cram everything into one week
- And it's driving her up a wall
- She doesn't want to focus on how everything piling up is the result of helping everyone else
- But that thought does occur to her every now and then
- She doesn't regret it though
- Especially when everyone agrees to help out with her projects
- Making the work go much faster and having it be much more fun
Purah
- The exact opposite of Impa
- Meaning she doesn't stress
- At all
- Did she leave everything until the last minute?
- Yes.
- Does she get it done?
- Yes.
- Does she somehow manage to get incredible grades?
- Also yes.
- And that's why she continues to procrastinate
- She's never had negative consequences to her actions
- This annoys Impa constantly
Robbie
- He stresses a lil
- Like… not a lot like Impa or Zelda or even Revali
- But he has a moderate amount
- Because he also pushes everything to the last minute
- You know, because he's busy helping Purah with… whatever it is she does
- So his stress comes from trying to figure out how to best go about his work
- He gets everything accomplished
- He just stresses a lil along the way
