#anyway. them.

i was thinking about @starlitmyre’s incredibly good fic with maxwell’s prosthetic arm and i was thinking about the arm in actual DnD terms, i.e. there being some component across the knuckles comparable to his gold heart kunckleduster in the Straka fight so that he could be dealing mechanically “magical damage” with that fist even with his pugilist unarmed strikes — and this led me to imagining it as embossed letters like a steampunk robot knuckle tat — and then i went, how fucking dope would it be for him to have knuckle tats that said ZOOD on his human flesh hand and ZERN on his metal automaton hand. knuckle tats that say zood and zern!!!
