i asked @oh-snapperss for a prompt, and this is what i wrote for them! [and, no theres no shipping]
tw ig?// bruises, anxiety stuff, claustrophobia
Well, shoot.
Iskall was stuck in a convenient hole in the ground in level four that Tango forgot to cover up, a simple mistake that ended up injuring him, blood went down his arm as Iskall observed the few purple patches on it. All he needed to do was get out of the hole he was in and patch himself up after the game, simple but easier said than done.
For once, he was grateful for the berries he'd gotten a clank for.
And then he remembered the fact that the Warden was loose, that just made things worse for him. Getting out of the hole seemed impossible because if he slipped once, the Warden would hear and attack him. And due to… certain circumstances, Iskall was claustrophobic and the situation he was in was another level of scary. He scrambled for his communicator with tears in his eyes that he refused to drop.
You whisper to Tango: tanfo i need oyu in somtheing
Tango whispers to you: you good iskall?
You whisper to Tango: just go to level fout pelase
Tango whispers to you: omw
Iskall closed his communicator as he heard the Warden come closer, footsteps louder than Bdubs shouting "shut up" when Ren was assigned king. He closed his eyes and started hyperventilating, when he heard the Warden's antennae clicking, he bit his already bruised arm to shut himself up.
The Warden was coming closer to Iskall's scent.
And closer…
And closer–
A loud noise like a metal pipe falling echoed through the hallway which brought the Warden's attention to the noise as it followed the sudden sound.
"Iskall?" Etho whispered loud enough to let Iskall hear him from below. "Are you there?"
"Mhm," Iskall hummed in response, trying not to cry. He looked up to see Etho's eyes peeking from the top, "I'm gonna get you out," he muttered as he observed Iskall's situation, glancing specifically at his arm. He could tell that Etho winced from the look on his eyes. "Don't worry, alright?" Iskall nodded in response, looking down to see his arm.
He did a number on his arm with his teeth alone.
"Just be quick, please," Iskall looked back up and croaked silently, trying not to sob. Etho left him after he said that. He curled up on the bottom and closed his eyes, trying to convince himself to not cry.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
"Breathe in. Breathe out."
Iskall sighed softly as the wind blew through his hair. "No stress, alright?" Cleo spoke as he hugged the other by his side, smiling at the calm expression. "You need to learn to control your anger," Cleo continued, placing their finger at Iskall's heart, gaining a chuckle from him. "Yeah," the other rolled his eyes, "therapy, too."
"Everyone here needs therapy, let's be honest."
"True."
Wind was the only thing that was heard, that and tree rustling. "Remember," Cleo broke the silence, "whenever you feel angry or scared,
"just breathe in and out."
It felt nice replaying that memory with the situation he was in. He opened his eyes to his current surroundings still stuck in a hole. "Psst," Etho stopped his train of thought, he looked up to see the Canadian holding an ender pearl, he dropped it for Iskall to immediately throw it outside the hole. It landed and Iskall was on the actual floor.
A few minutes later, he, Etho and Tango–who was the one who lead the Warden away from Iskall–left the dungeon. Xisuma, Grian, Cleo, and Mumbo were there waiting for him, but the first person to rush to Iskall was Grian. "What happened?" he asked worriedly, his bleeding arm took Grian's attention, "and what did you do to hurt yourself this badly?" Iskall averted making eye contact with him "I'll tell you later," he told Grian, taking the potion that Tango offered, "I just want to go home right now."

Just saw someone on my dash claiming that lately talk about TLT has shifted from praise to mockery and this apparently being bc all the praise caused more people to check out the series and realize its bad actually and like??? Since when???
I'm so blessed that all TLT content on my dash is immaculate. I've seen no mockery and no getting worked up over this possible mockery.... I'm winning
There were always people who vocally disliked TLT because the books have SUCH a strong narrative voice that they can be polarising and I can see how new readers = new dislike. But I doubt any of that is making its way into the TLT tags.
(Unless there was a big post I missed or something? I'm unfortunately not browsing the dash much lately, most content is queued)
