Thinking About How When My Oldest Brother Took Japanese Classes His Professor Was Like Your Pronunciation

Thinking about how when my oldest brother took Japanese classes his professor was like your pronunciation is really good 😊 but you need to watch movies that aren't about the Yakuza because you sound like a criminal

• The Chain (and others) with a disabled traveling companion •

Summary: The chronic pain is hitting me badly today and I can hardly walk, so I’m doing little headcanons to make myself feel better.

Warnings: this won’t cover in depth or all types of disabilities, just in general things and the ones that I can think of off of the top of my head. Quite a bit of hurt/comfort/whumpy/fluffy stuff. There of course is mention of medical items and different illnesses, but other than that, safe for everyone.

Author’s Notes: Written by Mishwanders. Happy Disability Pride Month 💕

Time

The most attentive about it in the group, even more so if he sees you struggling beside him.

He’s the one who literally has the time of your medications, walking time/distance down - it’s all memorized in his head. Could probably look up at the sky and back to you and just know, ya know?

If you need someone to lean on - he’s your guy, he’s built like a tree that will stay rooted in place in the middle of a dangerous storm so long as you need him.

Also has one of the softest laps, so if you need a seat that ain’t the ground, by all means, have at it. He will keep his arm around you waist to make sure you don’t fall over. Feel free to lean back if you need to, he won’t let you down.

Twilight

He’s just as attentive as Time about it. Constantly offering Epona for you to ride so you don’t have to walk as long and even offers his own back if you’d rather ride piggyback/on top of wolfie (if you are as small as Four that is).

Can also lean on him for support if Time is busy. He’s built like an Ox, so you don’t have to worry about being too heavy for him.

Got anxiety or have other mental illness issues? He picks up on that quickly, even more so in wolfie form. He will come to your side or will practically lay across your lap to get your attention and allow you to pet him to get your mind off of things.Will even let you wear his pelt if it makes you feel better. Truly the warmest anxiety blanket there is.

Have epilepsy? He’s quick to catch that too in wolfie form and alert the others that something is happening so they can help him tend to you. He won’t leave your side at all until he knows your okay.

Wild

Big help in the food area - will make sure you’ve eaten so you can take your meds and will ensure he gives you a little extra so you have something for later.

Have a feeding tube? That’s new to him, but if you’re willing to teach him the ins and outs of it, he’s willing to help you with that to ensure the food is made and blended thoroughly to go through.

He pays attention to any food allergies you have to make sure he doesn’t give you something you’re allergic to and so there’s no cross contamination.

Got panic attacks? He gets that, they all get that, but especially him. He’ll sit beside you and hold your hand if you need it, be a shoulder for you to cry on and assure you that things will be okay.

Four

Got pulled into their world without your cane(s)? Smithy is ON IT! Probably will make it double as a weapon as well.

If he’s split into the colors, you know they’re all bickering on how exactly it should look and how to give it to you.

He makes sure everything is exactly to your needs and specifications. Not too heavy and not too light - absolutely perfect.

He’s proud that he’s able to help you out by making anything you could ever need

Legend

Have something you need (rest, meds, a ride, etc.) but too afraid to say something about it? Legend will speak up for you. It’s no problem to him because he wants you to be okay.

He will also be one of the ones to help get unwanted attention off of you and would be willing to fight someone over it.

Need something to double as a weapon (magical cane?) - he’s got something for that.

Will only allow you to have it and will sneak it in to ya so the others don’t pester him about it (but they’ll all know - that’s just how they are).

Hyrule

He may not be able to make all of your problems magically disappear, but he will try to help ease some of the pain if he can do so.

Got the healing potions locked and loaded babes.

Will also be the one to stay up with you if you’re feeling extra ill on the harder nights/days, especially if the others are asleep, taking the nights watch, or having to attend to other situations (baddies, getting food/firewood, etc.)

Like the others, he wants to make sure you’re okay and is willing to do what it takes to ensure that.

Warriors

Just like Legend, your #1 boy for distracting others away from you - a true human shield.

Someone staring rudely at you because you have tubes, colostomy bag, a cane, using a wheelchair, or any other needs? Wars is stepping in between and staring right back at them, giving them the same attitude 100x over.

He’ll always ask if you’re alright, trying to gauge the emotional situation after that. He knows what it’s like to have another stare rudely at the scars on his hand and he wants to make sure you’re okay.

Will also be your human shield if you need to change something out but are unable to get anywhere in a more private location. As a matter of fact - they all would, but especially him.

Sky

Biggest softy for ya, really empathizes a lot with your disability and wants to do what he can to try and help ease any issues that occur during the travel.

If Twilights pelt is too heavy - he’s 100% allowing you to wrap yourself in his sail cloth if you need it for comfort and warmth.

Four also gets his expertise in wood carving for your cane and he puts little designs in it that Four will in-lay with metal after.

Will put his stuff together with yours if you need extra padding on the hard ground to keep from hurting. Any extra clothes of his he’ll pitch in his bag and allow you to use it for any leg/hip pain you may have.

Wind

Little guy can’t do too much, but you know what he can do? Distract you.

Very good at trying to keep your mind busy if the pain becomes to much.

You may have heard a few of the same stories twice, but he puts a lot of expression into it to try and get you to laugh.

Will also sit there and listen to you talk about things you like to help keep your mind off of the pain.

Bonus characters because I feel like it -

Sage

Do you need a wheel chair? Would you like to not need to walk long miles? DO I HAVE THE BOY FOR YOU -

Now granted, that wheelchair may come with a super powered rocket - but truly it’s the thought that counts first, and then your safety second. Don’t be afraid to tell him how you need it to be, he’ll make sure it’s done correctly the second time around.

Just like Wild, super attentive about the food and any allergies you might have.

If you have any phantom pains from an amputated limb (or even nerve damage), he’s willing to be there by your side and provide you with whatever comfort you need.

Fierce Deity

Protective af over you, very watchful. He’s got a keen sense of awareness when he knows there’s something wrong and you need immediate attention even before you as or look at him.

Good chance he will just carry you everywhere he goes - he’s so big he may even just strap you to his back if you’re small enough to do so.

The definition of “have you eaten?”. Will make sure you well fed and able to continue on the journey a little longer before getting to a rest stop.

Curl up in his lap if you’re able to do so, he will hold you there all night and be a big warm bed away from the ground.

Dark Link (aka Dinkster)

Will take any form for you to ride on and keep off of your legs.

Does not know what medicine is but is willing to learn so he can provide it for you when needed.

Ensures that you have time to rest while he scouts out the hero’s and drops more baddies where he desires.

Won’t even ask what you need, will just do it for you because he can already sense it.

Malon

She has a little comfy pillow made just for you when you ride around with her on the cart to castle town.

Will go mom mode if you try to lift a milk crate that’s too heavy for you.

She always makes sure to pack an extra chair for ya so you have somewhere to rest while out in square selling Lon Lon milk.

Also has a box of other items specifically for ya and your needs, just in case you need them!

Ravio

I would like for this man to haggle the price down on my insurance stuff. I think he’d be great at it.

He would also haggle another merchant down on items you need - seriously, let him do it, he’s got this!

Will always keep an eye out for better things to replace your old supplies.

All around, happy to be of service to you and have your service in return!

Epona

You may be thinking “what’s a horse gonna do?” And I’m here to tell ya, horses are some of the greatest animals on earth for this kind of thing.

Epona can sense something is different there and that you need extra care. Sweet baby is gonna do her best not to rock you too much when you ride on her back.

You know how wolfie might lay on your lap? Epona is gonna do the same thing, placing her head on your lap to rest and to comfort you.

She will neigh when she thinks somethings wrong, trying to get Twilight or Times attention to help you. 1000/10 best baby girl.

I have thought about this. I prefer to think that Time did find peace, but he knew he couldn’t pass on until he had trained Twilight. After all, events have now been altered: he now knows Twilight, whereas before, their very first meeting was in TP. There’s little chance Time-as-the-Shade wouldn’t recognize him. In order to preserve the loop, Twilight would have to tell him how the Shade acted. Time would know how to pretend, acting stern as the Hero’s Shade and as if it was their first meeting (while being secretly very happy to see his descendant again).

Why? Because I demand happy endings.

One of the saddest part of LU that the fandom rarely touches on, is the fact that no matter what Twilight does Time will always end as the hero’s shade.

And given how we call upon the spirit of the dead hero, there is a slightly possibility that even Time himself already knows he will not find peace by the time he dies. (explained by the howling stones)

Yet I wonder if it will shown later in the comic how strong that realization will hit Twilight. Poor boy already thought his "dead" would be the cause of it, so it’s clear that he thinks about it.

We know that Wild knows a lot more than others about Twilights adventure, but does he also knows about the hero’s shade? Twilight clearly hasn’t mentioned it to Time and I doubt he will unless it’s very necessarily.

Also, Wind’s Phantom Sword needs new source of spirit power. So an arc about the dead will surly be a thing, maybe then we will get a better look on how much Twilight thinks he can change Time’s fate or if he than realizes that he could never do anything about it.

The chronic pain do be paining. It has caused me to wonder how the idiots™️ would respond to reader having a flare up.

Side note: please get your pain checked out if you get hurt! Don’t be me! Life isn’t meant to hurt.

-VS

I'm sorry to hear about your pain, I am familiar with the issue. But you are very right. Pain is not something to ignore.

Four

He may not understand personally but he goes out of his way to make sure you have whatever helps you most

He tries to make something to help. If the pain is in your joints he tries to make braces to help you.

If he can't make something to help he offers to take over your chores/ duties to give you a break

Will go asking Wild about ideas on how to help

Hyrule

The concept confuses him at first. You hurt- all the time? And that's- normal?

He grew up in a forest with faeries - pain was fleeting

He asks about it, gathering details, potential triggers, and what helps.

Hyrule tries to use his powers to help you, but I don't know if this would help actually.

If his powers help he's ready to use them in an instant

If they don't, he'll try to make sure you get rest and will ask for help getting you what you need if he can't do it himself.

Legend

He's a grump- but he makes sure to he less of a grump when he knows you're having a flare up.

Legend tries to see if any of his magic objects can help- they don't but he really does try.

Starts carrying an extra blanket so you have something to rest on if you need it. He tries not to make a deal of it, just quietly offering it to you when needed.

If anyone gives you shot about it he will fight them

Sky

He'll make you any mobility aids that might help (may inlist Four if they need wheels)

Sky isn't super familiar with chronic pain but he knows it's a thing people have. He also asks about how to help

Sky will let you use him as a pillow when you rest, he wants you to be comfortable

He tries to keep your favorite snacks and drinks on hand. He believes in treating yourself kindly especially when in discomfort

Time

He'll start pestering you about staying hydrated and fed during your flare-ups because he knows that sometimes people will stop eating/ drinking enough when they hurt

Offers you the oild they use on horse joints for pain (this can help depending on the issue)

Time will carry you at the drop of a hat, all you have to do is ask

He dosen’t necessarily understand the cause, but he does try to help any way he can

Twilight

He is quick to bring you hot packs or ice packs. If those don't help he'll try something else

Another one to carry you if you like

When you have a particularly bad flare-up he will come see you as Wolfie

You have free right to use Epona as a mode of transport (unless stated makes it worse, please don't hurt yourself)

Twi will tell you stories while you rest to try to distract you

Warriors

He also is familiar with the issue that chronic pain presents, wether from personal experience or from army experience is up to you

He's got a no nonsense approach to it: as in if you give any indication you're having a flarup or other issues caused by chronic pain He's having you rest

He will not let you push yourself past your limits unless you are in a life or death battle and even then he does his damndest to keep you from passing them.

If it helps he's happy to give you a massage, if not he will respect that

Warriors keeps emergencies medication, heat packs, ice packs, and snacks on him at all times. He'll happily share.

Wild

I figure he has chronic pain/ frequent issues because he was blown up and you don't just walk away without issues

He may not have the same pain but he is familiar with the concept and the way a body will often choose to punish you if you ignore the little things

Wild will find out what causes your flare-ups and try to help minimize that stimuli

Probably knows some plant medicine, and will try to use that to help you.

If the pain is in your joints or walking makes it worse he'll insist on more frequent breaks. (If you can stand be carried or riding Epona he'll implement that.)

Wild tries to help you find stretches to relieve the pain (fully understands that this is not foolproof and can make things worse)

Wind

He just starts doing for you what he does for his grandmother and those on his pirate crew.

He'll keep an eye on you and offer to help you try unconventional remedies

Has at least 4 home remedies- they may or may not work but he certainly tries

Will demand you go take a break if you try to push through a flare up (if you refuse he gets Warriors and Time to help him)

It becomes very very evident when an author has never interacted with small children before. PLEASE stop writing 4 year olds with baby voices, I promise you they do not answer in short sentences the way a baby might. They can and Will start monologing
