Alternate prompts are, like the rest, entirely optional. Please reblog this post so the event can gain visibility!
This year's extra challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to avoid using labels and diagnoses. Try to focus on words that your characters would use for themselves as they navigate their disabilities. Start small and simple, and let your audience connect with their feelings and experiences.
Hello and welcome to the Linked Disability creation event! There will be a list of prompts dedicated to diversifying the cast of Linked Universe. The event will run through the month of July.
There will be 15 main prompts along with some alternate prompts. They are not limited to any specific days in July.
You can combine as many prompts as you want.
There is no deadline.
There is no minimum requirement of creation.
There is no completionist prize.
Writing and art of any media are encouraged.
You do not have to create something new for this event. If you have already created something that fits a prompt, you may share it.
This blog will highlight participants who create their own post and @ the blog. We reserve the right to not reblog entries that we have determined to be excessively insensitive or ableist. Do not let this discourage you from doing your research and branching out! If you're concerned your idea might cross a line, please reach out! We're happy to help guide you in the right direction.
Please reblog this post so the event can gain visibility!
'Thank you for coming in, what can I get for you?' The short man behind the counter spoke. Ravio's mind blanked.
'uh, yeah, um, can, Uh-' The man tilted his eyebrow. Ravio cleared his throat, 'Yeah, can I get a medium uh, caramel macchiato? With umm, what's the word, sorry, uh, extra caramel and uh foam?'
'Is that all?' He said, deadpanned.
'uh, can I uh, please, get a chocolate muffin also?' He started picking at his nails anxiously.
'Of course, anything else?' The man's shining green eyes stared directly at him.
'uh no, thank you.' Ravio stuttered out.
'That'll be out in a few minutes. Can I get your name?'
'Uh, my name..?'
'For the order, sir.'
'Oh y-yeah! It's Ravio.' He gave as small smile.

This was supposed to be a crack fic and...well...it got out of hand as the angst crept in and the words wouldn't stop!
Please enjoy my fic!
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Coming up (hopefully) next: too much angst inspired by this post: https://www.tumblr.com/palmolli/815267723741446144/linked-universe-angst-idea-for-a-numerous-amount?source=share
But since I'm remodeling my house to get it ready for moving, it might be a bit and since I rarely plan ANYTHING with writing other than vague bullet points and "oh that's a cool/angsty/fluffy vibe" I have no idea how long or good it'll be.
I also have a secret stupidly crack backpocket fic I'll get to my daughter suggested that I'm letting sit on the backburner, as I know it's gonna be a complete crack fluff silly fest (I literally can't think of how to add angst without actually TRYING but then again, desert bus LU happened so...)
First up on the art spree we have this fantastically unhinged piece I decided to draw as part of my taking over of the may Write a thon bit. There was a plan, then I made one (1) joke about FD invading the server and enough people thought it should actually be done that I started organizing people for it. Since I was the ringleader I made some extra art so that others who wanted to change their pfp could snag some art from me. Which brings us to another joke that I made and then decided to follow through on XD. I threatened the lovely @mrsmusica with renaissance style FD art as a joke. Here we are now. Hope you friendos get as much of a laugh from as I have thus far!
a while ago there was a post that was a gathering of all the different names (nicknames rather) that the chain had used for each other up to that point. it's been a while, and i haven't seen another one personally, so i decided to make a new updated one for fun.
the little doodles and comics that aren't the MAIN lu comic aren't in this yet, but when i've got all those in here i'll be sure to post it
1) said simultaneously
2) yes im counting this
3) technically vio (once) and green (twice)
4) in the same sentence!
5) first instance of buddy
6) first instance of someone calling someone else link directly
7) he corrects himself to speak directly about twi afterward
8) couldn’t leave this in honorable mentions
honorable mentions and fun details below the cut
wars calls wild a “wild young man”
Legend refers to “that wolf” when alluding to twilight’s dark form without addressing twilight directly
legend refers to himself as “the collector! A veteran of the hero business!”
in “heroes legacy” legend refers to each member of the chain by either a descriptor of their homes, or their “occupations” aside from Four, who is called “the smith” (distinct from leg’s wording of “a captain” and “a knight”)
wars calls twi “you dog”
blue refers to vio by name when four is split
wild calls twi “the original blue-eyed divine beast” but i’m unsure if this should be officially counted
time refers to twi as “a descendant” but more in the concept kinda way you feel me?
twi (who has just woken up from his near death) mistakes time and hyrule for rusl and colin
wars refers to some of the chain as “stubborn youths”
completely unrelated to what they call each other but wild seems to admire hyrule so much it’s adorable; the friends ever <3
the first time the chain see the postman, sky is the one who claims the mail (even though it’s wind’s). In dawn pt. 4 when the postman comes to the inn to find link, he sees sky and says he’s been looking for him. None of the mail is sky’s. The postman has deduced that sky is the Link and all these other guys are simply that: other guys.
four is called a kid by the town blacksmith (chilchuck moment)
epona sees twi and has a “!” in a bubble and i’m convinced she’s saying “Link!”
wild calls four, wind, hyrule, and wars “crafty individuals” indirectly (though he does say it in front of wind and four)
wild says “the wolf i knew” and “this wolf i’ve known” when referring to future twi aiding him in botw
wars repeats wild’s statement about twi being just some guy to twi himself, who then proclaims himself “Hero”
unrelated again but wind gets so excited to see wolfie it’s so cute
Below is a plain text list of the official prompts as well as five alternative prompts. This post will be updated over time with links to our explanations of each prompt. For more information as to the timeline, rules, and FAQ for this challenge, please see the pinned post on our Tumblr.
