“A variety of wild animals visiting a water fountain”

luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.

I was away from home for a while and this is the first thing I made upon getting back.

(Dialogue inspired by this)

Warriors : you look as sick as a dog!

Stating my reality is not an excuse. My body has physical limitations that are not negotiable.

When I tell you I can’t do something, it’s not an excuse. It’s not a matter of positivity. It’s truth.

Fear me, if you dare!

Here's some :)

Not the Shrine by Woman_of_Clay - Wild comes back to the group form his second journey, but he's sick and in and out of consciousness. He thinks that he's being put back into the shrine

Delirium by Mintyy_Fresh - (Self promotion) Wild gets sick and delirious, and thinks that he's being put back into the shrine

Follow the Lights by CluelessMoose- The shrine trauma is specifically in chapter 12, but this is a really good fic, and I highly suggest reading the whole thing, especially if you like the "all the Links are 'soulmates'" troupe.

Someone Different by Jinmukang - Wild dies, and the other heroes put him into the Shrine. He wakes, but no longer remembers anything past the defeat fo the Calamity.
