Can you draw a sand seal holding a stick?!
POV: Wild went to Gerudo Desert immediately after waking up on the Great Plateau. He is learning a great deal from his new instructor.
Happy New Year everyone! We're excited to continue our work through 2026 in promoting and supporting our little corner of fandom. We have a challenge for all of you this year, regardless of the fandom you're in.
Every year, fan creators have continued to comment on a decrease in engagement for their works. Even worse, the influx of bot comments across all platforms has only skyrocketed. Yikes! Quite the recipe for a disheartened community.
Social media has been designed to encourage rapid consumption, but not meaningful engagement. This is a bad diet for everyone in fandom. It leads to a passive culture where creators feel unheard for their hard work, turning too many people away from the hobby and leaving everyone unsatisfied.
But we can change this! As a community, we can fix how we engage with fandom by making a concentrated effort to be active participants in fandom. Not just liking or reblogging, but actually going and supporting works. Leaving comments and discussion. Engaging with others. Building habits of meaningful support! A balanced diet takes many facets, not just the creation process!
Creators, this means you too! Creating is not a substitute for participation! Take it from me! I've read and reviewed over 90 works for EH's Story Spotlight project, and I am now our most reviewed member in our archives despite being on AO3 for little over a year. Showing up for others fills your cup too! Go inspire others! Someone showed up for you when you started off. Now's your chance to return the favor and lead by example.
Here is your challenge to help you get started. Last year I got through over 60 works by reading a chapter from two works every day. I challenge you to read one a day. It doesn't have to be fic. It could be a comic. It could be a news article. It could be original fiction. But if you want to fix your relationship with passivity, you have to start somewhere. So here's a small, tangible goal to help build the habit. One chapter or one-shot, every day, WITH a comment. Doesn't have to be long. It's just to start.
We're rooting for all of you here at Expanding Hyrule. And we'll be here to keep promoting fandom in every way we can.

It has no right to be this nice outside; not when his mood felt like this.Warriors liked to feel proud of his ability to compartmentalize. He was frankly one of the best in the group. But when the whole country slammed a reminder of the fallen in his face at every turn, even he had his limits.He glanced at the television, thankful it was on some kind of game or other.

Although they'd tracked his progress to a nearby village, he'd managed to lose them in the bustle of the market.Princess Zelda figured he wouldn't linger in the town for long, and Link honestly agreed - the guy looked half feral, he'd stick out like a sore thumb in any civilized area. He probably hated being around people.So they were stuck out in the roadway nearby, wondering what to do next. They'd learned that there were some ruins nearby that they could maybe explore, but it was hard to tell what to do next.Keep readingkikker-omaHAHA POOR LINK LMAOOOSir Edgy waiting in the ruins to make sure there's no actual trouble is incredible and I can SEE his absolute gremlin smirk at their shenanigans😂Both of these Links are so tired, someone distract Zelda so they can sleep hahahaAhh this is so lovely!!!

🎉🎉🎉
I hope today is absolutely wonderful and lovely and so full of loTumblrTwilight was beginning to suspect that he’d been lied to, tricked, and possibly even bamboozled. He’d been so worried when he came down that embankment and saw Warriors sprawled out on the dirt that he’d assumed something must have gone horribly wrong. So when he’d asked Warrior’s what hurt and Warrior’s hand had gone to his back, Twilight had been quick to help lift the captain onto his own back, sure in his own strength to carry him back to the others who he hoped were still nearby since the monster camp’s … rather enthusiastic explosion had required a swift retreat.
He grunted a little as he readjusted Warriors’s weight on his back, holding back a lupine huff at the breathy giggle that sounded in his ear. At least his passenger at the moment didn’t feel that kicking his side was good ‘motivation’ for being slow. Warriors’s scarf caught on yet another branch, and Twilight felt a deep ache begin to bloom in his back as he stood and waited for
Warriors’s hands to untangle the length of cloth.
Warriors had the sense to at least tuck the thing between Twilight’s pelt and his front this time, in an attempt to keep it from snagging anything else. But after the first few steps once this was done Twilight could already feel it sliding out of place and sighed, resigning himself to a very long walk.
He’d managed to crest the next hill before the words he’d been holding behind clenched teeth managed to slip out.
“You certain your back is actually hurtin’ you that badly?” He had to stumble awkwardly over a stray branch his foot landed on and was wishing Warriors would offer to take his own weight at this point with no other heroes in sight.
“Oh yeah! It hurts soooo much. Woe is me.” The last addition nearly snickered under his breath sounded distinctly like Warriors was quoting someone. Who that someone might be Twilight no longer had the energy to spare.
“I should drop you.” Twilight would always have the energy to spare for a tease like that though.
Warriors went quiet at that. Then after a moment, a thanks so quiet he hardly heard it even with the captain’s face next to his ear sounded, and Twilight felt that he could carry Warriors for a little longer at least.
Still though, he thought with a bittersweet longing, he never thought he’d be wishing to carry something on his back as a Wolf, which was a lot easier to do than clutch Warriors to his back with both arms, leaving him feeling tired and awfully vulnerable as they were.kikker-omaAw NANCY❤️❤️ you're so incredibly sweet, thank you so so much for such a lovely birthday gift!!I love Twis immediate and selfless act to just help and be his brother's strength❤️I also love Wars trying to be goofy while he's in need, even if it's to his detriment with Twi threatening to drop him(he never would hehe)Thank you SO much!!#sweet nancyheart11#linked universe#lu twilight#lu warriors#this DEFINITELY gave me joy and brought light to my day!!#your writing is so lovely it's be hard to not make me happy❤️#linkeduniverse1463

kikker-omaRebloggedskyloftian-nutcaseFollowIn honor of the Four stabfest, and because he was voted for Fluffvember on my poll... here you go :).Four giggled as he hopped from pebble to pebble, watching a frog leap over him in the stream he'd discovered while shrunk down with Minish magic. The world looked so drastically different in this form that it felt like he was discovering it anew, and sometimes it was just the breath of fresh air that he needed.As he leapt again, his foot slipped on the slick stone, and he yelled as he fell into the chilly water. In his usual form this trickling stream would barely cover his feet, but with as tiny as he was, he was swept away by it, swimming frantically to get himself righted. He could just turn back, but if he could get out of this situation easily, it wasn't worth the effort.But then the water sped up, got deeper, and Four flailed, out of control.Okay, this is silly, I should change b--His thought process was interrupted as the water rammed him up against a beaver dam, the twigs sticking out at harsh angles, and one pierced right through him.Four gasped in pain, body seizing up, and he felt adrenaline freeze him to his core as his heart rate spiked in a panic. Would turning back make this better or worse? How could he call for help? He was stuck here, he was stuck he was stabbed this hurt goddess this hurt--And then Four woke up. Not tiny, not in a stream, not skewered on a beaver dam, but wrapped in a blanket, having rolled over onto a stick and feeling a little uncomfortable with it. Beside him, Legend snored, Four's tunic half repaired in his hands as he'd fallen asleep working on it."Smithy? You okay?"Four turned towards the whispering voice to see Twilight, who was on watch. His cheeks colored a little in embarrassment, at how his heart was still racing over such a random and silly dream, as he felt the twig push against his rib cage. Moving the stick, he mumbled, "I'm fine. Just a weird dream.""You wanna talk about it?"Goddess no. "I'm fine, Rancher. Thank you."#oooohhh tiny four being scewered😭😭☠️☠️☠️#the stick on the ground irl:😈😈😈😈#aww poor four that'd be so alarming!!!#those kinds of dreams are so disconcerting#im glad legend is snuggling up with him❤️#idk how fluffy this is but as my friend I'll give it a pass cus it had a happy ending lmao#linked universe#linkeduniverse#lu four#four stabfest16117
