Ask prompt ask prompt!!! Not sure what youre looking for but maybe some Four + Animal? Boyo + word.

Hi! That is a perfect prompt! Fair warning, I have not played any of Four's games and am basing everything of fanfiction.

-

The Chain was concerned. Out of all nice of them, the smithy was the least likely to wander off. Time sent Twilight ahead, knowing the wolf would be able to track faster then eight Hylians. Time and Warriors decided to make camp and wait for Wolfie to come back.

Roughly an hour later, Twilight walked back into the camp, a wide smile on his face.

The sailor jumped up, "Did you find him?"

Twilight nodded and camp was promptly packed. The seven of them then followed Twilight through the dense trees. Twenty minutes later, the rancher stopped and put a finger to his lips, staring pointedly at Wind. The young hero nodded, and Twilight continued moving forward. The trees opened to a small clearing and the eight heroes hung back in the treeline, watching the scene in front of them. Their missing member was laying in a bed of soft grass surrounded by various creatures.

Deer were laid around him, relaxed as can be. Squirrels were tucked into whatever clothing they could. Rabbits were huddled on the smithy's chest, gently rising and falling with each breath. Birds flitted in and out, never staying long. To everyone's surprise, even a couple fairies came to be with the small hero. Four himself, was watching the sky, absentmindedly petting one of the rabbits treating him like a burrow.

A soft click rang out, luckily not disturbing the peaceful hero. Wild stood there with a smile on his face, his slate in his hand pointed at the scene.

"I know you're there," called Four, voice all soft and relaxed. None of the animals moved. "You can join. This clearing has magic. It's safe."

One by one, the heroes joined Four, laying among the animals, relaxing into a moment of peace a long time coming.

In another universe, maybe my flop era never happened and I continue to gush about my little meow meow and actually draw but right now that isnt happening and I'm lie awake at 6am after another crying session in the dark 🥲👍

Online/Offline [C.S] - ninety-five | everything’s good :D

“So what do you want to play?” Keeho asked.

“Oh--” you started, “you didn’t have a plan?”

“Nah, I had vocal practice and we had to film content, so it sort of kicked my ass.”

“Oh my god, you’re the lord of spoilers,” you sighed.

“No-- ah, shit.”

JohnnyYuta: HAHA, Keeho! A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: He Of The Spoils YangYangGangGang: Wow, he really doesn’t stop I💚Keeho: Do you think his manager will call? I💚Keeho: Or even the CEO like that other time? QuackIsWhack✅: “Content” isn’t big enough for the CEO KeeHOrse: Yeah, the CEO only called that time because it was a major comeback spoiler I💚Keeho: Ohhh yeah lol

You read your chat and laughed. “You’re getting roasted, Spoiler King. Lightly browned, on both sides.”

Keeho sighed.

You chuckled at his reaction. “Chat, what do you think we should play?”

JohnnyYuta: OBSERVATION DUTY!! A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: HUGE MAN!!

“Oh my god, Keeho would hate that.”

“Keeho would hate what?” He asked.

“They want to play Observation Duty.”

“No.”

“See?” You said to the chat. “Pick something else.”

A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: WHY NOTTTTTT??? I💚Keeho: Keeho hates the jumpscares QuackIsWhack✅: Also, the *ahem* untoward ones are a bit much for the company, you feel me? A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: Ohhhhhhh yeah JohnnyYuta: Understandable 🗻of Namhae✅: What about Minecraft? You haven’t played that in a while

Your eyes widened at the screenname. “Namhae? You’re back?”

🗻of Namhae✅: Yeah. Sorry for being gone for so long

“Namhae’s back?”

“Yeah, he had a family thing he had to take care of.”

“That was a while.”

“It was. I hope everything’s okay, Namhae.”

🗻of Namhae✅: Everything’s good :D

You smiled. “That’s good. Namhae suggested Minecraft.”

“Didn’t you used to play that with Morn?”

“Yeah, but everyone liked our palatial estate and less palatial escapades.”

“And how much you died all the time?”

You gasped. “How did you know?”

“I watch your streams when we have comebacks. They always make me sad because I can’t play games with everyone.”

“The streams make you sad or the comebacks make you sad?”

“The comebacks.”

“... Should you have said that out loud?”

Keeho laughed. “Our managers hear me complain enough about not being able to game, so it’s not like they don’t know.”

“If you say so. Anyway, do you want to play Minecraft?”

“I don’t really like Minecraft. I’d rather play against each other.”

“Ugh. Then why don’t you suggest something? You pest.”

“Hmmm…”

Keeho thought for a few seconds and then started naming games and seeing what the response from his chat was. While you waited, your mind drifted to playing Minecraft with San. Sure, you weren’t very good at it - actually you were pretty fucking terrible - but he always made it fun, no matter how frustrated you got because you kept dying. And you got pretty fucking frustrated. He always had your back and he always picked you up and dusted you off when you respawned. 

You were feeling… disbelief? At the idea that, at that exact moment, he could have been going out on his blind date. Why was he even going on a blind date? You wondered where they would go: was it going to be a fancy restaurant? Something fun like an amusement park? Maybe they’d see a movie and sit in the dark theater together. Maybe their hands would touch by accident-- or on purpose. You wondered what she would be like. Would she be pretty? Would she have a stunning personality and a great sense of humor? Would she have a real job like a ‘responsible adult’, and not have people harass her online or stalk her in real life? Would she be so captivating that he wouldn’t have room to think of anyone else? Would she be like you? Would she be the complete opposite?

And why didn’t you just fucking ask him out when you had the chance? You liked to think that maybe you were the kind of person who could learn from their mistakes, so why did it suddenly feel like your tried and true rule of not dating people you work with was suddenly hurting you rather than helping you?

“Mario Kart.”

“--What?” You had totally forgotten you were streaming.

“They want us to play Mario Kart. Aren’t you paying attention?”

“Uh-- yeah.”

“No you’re not,” Keeho laughed. “What were you doing?”

“Thinking about something, sorry.”

“Do you want to play Mario Kart?”

“Not really but… whatever. Sure.”

San stood by the door of the restaurant, waiting for his blind date as he watched y/n stream without him. He wondered why Keeho was so dead set against Minecraft. He also wondered why y/n went quiet for so long. Was she okay? Maybe he shouldn’t have shown up in the chat as Namhae? Maybe he should have made a new name?

Maybe he should have just told her he was Namhae from the beginning.

“Excuse me-- San?” A woman’s voice asked and San looked up.

“I’m so sorry--” he shut off the stream and shoved his phone into his pocket. “Jisoo, right?”

“Yes.” She smiled and held out her hand for him to shake.

He shook it and smiled back. “Shall we go in?”

THE VILLAGE

Mano Chao - Minha Galera

I've written about this before but a little over two years ago we left America and moved to the Philippines.

It's so beautiful here.

We live in the port town of a small island, but my wife originally came from a little village deep in the mountains. It's a small village of about 200 people surroundedby coconut jungle.

I love visiting the village.

Looking down the village's main walk way during fiesta.

Close by there's an amazing waterfall we like to bath in.

Like I say, I love it here.

You wouldn’t happen to know how I could get a… Kingambit, would you?

- @the-council-got-pokemon

Ok from what I've heard to get Kingambit, start by catching a Bisharp that is surrounded by Pawniard so you can get a Leader's Crest. While holding the Leader's Crest, defeat 3 more Bisharp with Leader's Crests (theirthe ones surroundedby pawniard). Once they're defeated, level up your Bisharp once to get Kingambit. Or at least that's what I heard

petition to rename enstars to "i'm the only girl in a school full of heartthrob idols?! - a dazzling, exciting school life surroundedby hot guys!"

it would be a disservice to the game honestly

[non-fantasy]

"i'm the only girl in a school full of heartthrob idols?! - a dazzling, exciting school life surroundedby hot guys!" And half of them have probably never actually talked to a woman for longer than a minute and are also probably fucking each other

i'm realizing that apparently arashi is also an idol <- i literally only know her as the trans girl so it takes me a moment to remember that so maybe the title is "i'm the new girl in a school full of heartthrob idols?! - a dazzling, exciting school life surrounded by hot musicians!"

also i thought they talked to women because anzu and arashi are there??? do they never talk to anzu and arashi????????????/

I myself had to go through this kind of thinking when the thought "maybe i am aroace"

My biggest difficulty was the fact of "what if i do find someone i like romantically in the future" but eventually i realized it doesn't matter if i do. It won't take away from my experience as an aroace person, i can still be aroace, i can still be aspec. It's a spectrum! I as me now don't feel romantic attraction and I'm fine with that. All that matters for my now is the now.

Just letting myself be was so freeing. Not only was a freeing in my aspecness but it was also freeing in my transness.

The aspec community is so beautiful because we have decided to bend society's standards, no not even bend but completely push them aside and just be let ourselves be who we are, weather that be happy single and surroundedby friends, happy in a queer platonic relationship, happy in a relationship, happy however you may be. Being aroace for me is finding that i can be happy with me, without having to live by what I've been told or seen throughout my entire life because that's who i am!

(This has turned into this whole thing and I'm going to be honest this might not make any sense but hey it does to me!)

god seeing people afraid to id as ace/aro because "what if it is just a phase? what if it is just hormones? what if it is just mental illness? what if I do find "the right person?"" makes me so righteously angry because I promise you, I promise no one in the community is going to revoke your aspec card on account of hypotheticals. if someone told you that then the stupid motherfucker lied to you. you do not look at water and go "well I'm not sure if I should drink this, because if the temperature drops below zero, it'll turn to ice." relax. let yourself just be. drink the water if you're thirsty. because it's water right now. doesn't matter if it'll be ice by tomorrow, or mist by next tuesday. it's water and you can drink it if you want to.

I hate geeling so lonely surroundedby everyone

[bluemoonfantasiesiii]

Lily smiled widely at Dehya. Saad flashed her a smile before replying excitingly, "I'm good!" He was stopped by her words to check what she was reaching for. When the mercenary pulled the beautiful comb in her hand. the two children opened their mouths in awe of its beauty.

"That looks so pretty~~" Lily started, followed by a sweet smile and a nod from the other boy, "Yup! I agree with you, Lily! Miss Dehya, you really do keep your words! I want to be someone like you, worthy of the people's trust!" He said with confidence and excitement ringing in his words.

Lily giggled at him, "You can~, but you should grow up taller first~" she teased him, but before running to hide behind Ruby, who suddenly found himself being the center stand between two giggling children who were playing catch around him.

"Aw, you wait, little princess! I'll catch you! You won't run a way this time, and Ruby won't be there to rescue you!" Came such a determinate words full of playfulness from the young boy, while he got a silly reply back at his little threat, "no way you'll catch me~ hehe~ I can still run faster than you~, Silly~" she tried to tease him even more with a ton of laughs from these two.

Kind of forgetting about the other two ladies watching the scene with smiles on their faces.

......

The researchers went closer to Nigredo as Vincent wanted to make sure his friend was alright, "is there any pain anywhere, Nigredo? Do you need any medical attention?" He asked.

Rosa, on the other hand, went to the defeated machine and leaned down to pick something small and shiny from its broken body. She stood back up and went to stand by her partner's back, looking away from Nigredo because she thought he was still mad at her.

"These might be old like the Ruin Guards, but their energy supplies are pretty alive. Please be sure not to alert them by getting too close to them. Otherwise, we willbe surroundedby many of them." Vincent calmly advised the gardener for his own safety. He wasn't sure if this past things might harm his body due to him being affected by the corruption from Durin's blood.

Rubedo valiantly stood between Saad and Lily, looking like a noble prince. “Don’t worry, Lily! I’ll protect you from this rogue knight!”

Periwinkle vines with fuchsia thorns protruded from Rubedo’s back and wrapped around the rafters. The whopperflower grabbed hold of Lily and reeled them both up, just out of reach of Saad’s reach.

Dehya startled at the display of Rubedo’s monstrous powers and used her Vision to set her gauntlet alight with Pyro.

“What the hell are you?! Let the girl go!”

Rubedo’s vines lost their grip in his terror at the sight of the fire, sending Lily falling into Saad’s arms and himself crashing to the ground and scooting away, tears of pure fear beading in his eyes. Candace rushed to place a firm hand on Dehya’s shoulder.

“Dehya, stop! He’s harmless!”

“Wha…?” The brunette saw the little flower pressing himself against the wall and trembling and quickly doused the flames on her gauntlet before demanding an explanation from the others.

———

“Y-yeah, I’m fine…” Nigredo said as he brushed himself off. He saw that Rosa was still avoiding his eyes and sighed before approaching her. He summoned a starlight cecelia and held it out to her, loudly coughing to get her attention.

“I’m…sorry for my behavior earlier. I was just projecting my own past onto you, and that was a scummy thing of me to do. I’m not… It’s got nothing to do with you, I promise.”

Online/Offline [C.S] - eighty-one | where’s morn?

“Well, I think that’s it for now, guys…” you closed the game you had been playing. “I’m a little tired.”

JohnnyYuta: Why are you tired, Cat? You’re normally not A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: Where’s Morn?

“That’s actually why I’m a little tired. Umm… Morn and I broke up yesterday.”

JohnnyYuta: WHAT? A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: WHY? YangYangGangGang: You guys were so good together! QuackIsWhack✅: Guys, don’t say things like that, it’s not nice YangYangGangGang: Sorry, Quack

“It’s okay. I thought we were great together too, it’s just that… sometimes things just don’t work out.”

YangYangGangGang: We should beat him up! MinHoe: Let’s raid his channel! But in a negative way! LeaBea✅: GUYS

“None of that, you guys, none of that.” You laughed softly.

JohnnyYuta: Are you okay?

“Yeah, I mean… all breakups suck, but I’m pretty okay.” You sighed.

A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: That sigh didn’t sound okay.

“You got me there, Tree, you got me there. I guess… I don’t know. At the very least I liked streaming with him. We had a good dynamic, you know? Maybe even better than me and Keeho.”

A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: Yeah, you did have a great dynamic JohnnyYuta: You played off each other really well

“Right? And it was sorta crazy because we haven’t known each other that long. We just like…”

SleepySheepy😴: Clicked?

“Yeah, we clicked immediately. In real life, too. We met a little while before we started dating, and we got along, like, immediately.”

LuciPURR✅: Good chemistry can be hard to find MinHoe: True that

“True that.”

I💚Keeho: Who asked who out? Are we allowed to ask?

“Mmm… I guess I asked him out.” You smiled. You knew you couldn’t tell them the truth, but it was close enough. “I was actually a little surprised he said yes.”

JohnnyYuta: Really? A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: Why were you surprised?

“Well, I didn’t know if he liked me that way, you know? We hadn’t known each other that long so like… some people take longer to develop feelings than others.”

YangYangGangGang: And you developed feelings first?

“Yeah… I guess I did.” You sniffled. You didn’t even know you were close to crying. Were you still acting?

QuackIsWhack✅: Cat, you don’t have to keep talking about him if you miss him JohnnyYuta: Yeah, if it hurts to talk about, you don’t have to tell us A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: Yeah, you should talk to a friend. We care about you too, but we’re just your fans

You sniffed again. “Thanks guys. But it doesn’t really hurt, I mean, yeah I guess it hurts, but like… I don’t know.”

MinHoe: You can stop streaming if you want to A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: You don’t have to tell us everything JohnnyYuta: Or even anything SleepySheepy😴: Yeah

“Yeah-- I thought that maybe I should because he’s not going to be around anymore. I didn’t want you guys to be like… wondering where he was or if he was okay or anything, you know?”

QuackIsWhack✅: You don’t have to do this for us I💚Keeho: Yeah, your feelings are way more important LuciPURR✅: You’re the one who dated him, not us

That was wrong though; you didn’t date him. Your lie was now ending in a lie. Like all well-maintained lies.

“I guess you’re right… I don’t know. I guess I sort of wanted to talk about it a little… like for my own sake? I don’t know if that makes sense.”

LeaBea✅: It does. Sometimes we need to speak our feelings out loud, you know? YangYangGangGang: Yeah, you have to be honest with yourself UltimateHyung: But forget about us, you should worry about yourself first

“Mhm,” you nodded. “I guess you’re right.” You sighed and wiped away the tears. You didn’t even know what you were feeling anymore. “Do you guys think I should quit streaming early today?”

QuackIsWhack✅: If you want to, go ahead! YangYangGangGang: Yeah, we’ll be here when you’re ready MinHoe: Mhm JohnnyYuta: Take a break if you need to take a break A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: Breaks are important

“Yeah, I guess they are.” You sighed. “Whelp, I’ll see you guys next time, okay?”

JohnnyYuta: See you! A🌲SurroundedBy🌷s: See you! MinHoe: Feel better! YangYangGangGang: Feel betterrrrrrr I💚Keeho: Feel better, Cat LuciPURR✅: Yeah, we love you Cat Mom LeaBea✅: Bye! QuackIsWhack✅: Make sure to rest! SleepySheepy😴: Make sleepies😴😴😴

“I will. Bye everyone.”

You ended the stream and took off your headphones. Your phone buzzed.

A screenshot of a post, presumably a tweet, reading "Accepting the existence of magic in a fantasy setting should not be easier than accepting the existence of disabled people in a fantasy setting. ✨️ [Sparkle emoji]

Below it is an image of a pale skinned wizard in purple robes sitting in a wooden wheelchair surroundedby stone ruins. She has bright orange hair, pointy ears, and a purple bow in her hair. She is casting a spell with her right hand that is a spiky white and purple ball of light. There is a werewolf and four robed men holding weapons as if to attack surrounding her.

A tweet by 👑🏴Stateless 📛 Sovereign 😭💢 (the emojis in order are crown, black flag, name tag, sobbing, and anger) (@\Cunnyfederacy)

It reads:

"It literally makes no sense to have disabled people in a fantasy setting:

"1) Why can't the disabled person cast a spell on their broken legs that fixes them instantly so they can walk again?

"2) If the mage's lower body is paralyzed rather than physically broken then why can't they remove the paralysis using magic?

"3) Why can't the mage cast a spell on themselves which allows them to float or fly so that they don't have to worry about walking?

"4) Why is there a normal looking wheelchair in a medieval-esque high fantasy setting? Shouldn't the chair be made out of crude dwarven technology or be replaced with an animal with a saddle attached to it?"

/ End ID 2]

[Image ID 3:

The tweet unfortunately continues, reading,

"Once you have magic in a setting, it makes no sense to have disabilities. The only way you could make this work is if you make the magic extremely rare and difficult to obtain or make it so that magic is so dangerous and unreliable that it rarely gets used.

"In other words you would have to heavily tone down the 'fantasy' in high fantasy which kind of defeats the purpose. A "low magic" fantasy setting can work but it requires good writing to make it interesting."

A quote tweet and a response with two images attached.

The quoted tweet, by Konbto (@\KonbroA), reads,

"The obvious answer is to stop using modern wheelchairs. Ideas like a magic floating chairs, a chair with spider legs, an animal/fantasy mount to help get around. Stuff like that. ..." [The rest of the quote is not visible.]

This was some of the most high effort bullshitting I've ever seen someone go through just to keep disabled people out of their D&D campaign.

It's so incredibly simple. And as someone who is chronically verbose, even I could boil it down to a single sentence.

PEOPLE LIKE TO SEE THEMSELF REPRESENTED IN THE MEDIA THEY CONSUME.

There should be a name for that.

Like... representative analogs.

Representism.

Representology.

I'm sure someone will think of something to call it. And then let everyone know how much it matters.

But seriously, It really does not need to be any more complicated. And it isn't even that complicated to come up with reasons disability exists in a magical realm.

Perhaps magic caused the disability in the first place. Or it is a curse not easily undone. Or perhaps magic gets better over time like science. 100 years ago, an infection was a death sentence. Now we have antibiotics. And the magic to "cure" disabilities just isn't advanced enough yet.

I could literally do this all night.

Fantasy is probably one of the easiest genres to include disabilities and it is really gross how many people want to deny us this opportunity for... representation.
