give that knife/sword fight survivor nerve damage. give the character who was shot in the gut a stoma. give that fire survivor lung damage and an oxygen cannula. give that leg injury survivor a cane. give that starvation survivor gastroparesis. give that spinal injury survivor a manual chair or powerchair.

Like obviously I support personal interpretations but guys how are we all not collectively agreeing that their brain is FUCKED UP.

That they are mentally disabled in some way shape or form.

People getting head injuries and living isn’t some fallout phenomenon it’s a real thing and it can leave people fucked up for life.

Why don’t we give them memory problems???

Or have them react to situations extremely disproportionately, and be prone to anger???

Or even just slur their speech a little bit because it takes a moment to figure out how to talk!

I want more couriers with actual brain injuries from getting shot in the head!!!

I appreciate that people put in the effort to amend fnv’s bad decision of not adding in a scar of any kind, that was a very very cool decision almost all of us went with.

i am almost completely stealth and living in a conservative town in Florida (not by choice lol). i can guarantee you that no one is just humoring me when they refer to me as a man and yet i can count on one hand the number of times I've been misgendered in public since my voice dropped.

and I'm not some hypermasculine lumberjack looking guy either. i am a skinny babyfaced nerd with patchy facial hair. nobody in my town aside from doctors and my family has any idea that I'm not a cis man.

all of that is a direct foil to hornet's own upbringing. hornet, like lace, was made for a purpose... a purpose that herrah immediately absolves her of. herrah, vespa, the white lady, they put their hope onto hornet, that she'll be strong, that she'll be free, that she will grow past the mistakes of her makers, vs. grand mother silk's conditions, that a daughter be perfect and obedient and most importantly never rise above her station.
