you have a s c e n d e d

i have an amputee character who lost her arm in a wood chucker? 8I;;

Bird pls.  (It’s the future there are probably like... robots for that?  Also she does not strike me as the type to go anywhere near one of those.)

@pantsless-serket​

work accidents (forklifts, man), shark attacks (that's much more rare), armed forces/combat, bear attacks (a little less rare), hippo attacks (somewhat common in areas with hippos) alligator attacks (normal if it's someone from south Louisiana), i could keep going but u get the gist

Hmm I feel like she wouldn’t be around animals much (plus a lot might be extinct by this time period...) and I don’t really want to write a soldier.  But work accident, maybe.

@scuttlebuggy​

'accident' seems like a good common way. a wide variety of ways to lose a limb, dependent on various circumstances obv, if it's scifi, maybe... space.. crash...?? sleek machine disaster. small space cut Big space infection.

Yeah, I’m leaning towards accident.  I’m not sure it’s far enough in the future for there to be Lots of space ships.  I should probably figure that out.

@snappleeducated (it won’t let me tag you?)

car accidents are a pretty common source today. somebody's got their arm out the window, the car rolls. so is diabetic neuropathy, but that's more likely to affect the legs first, and would probably add extra complications you don't need/want. osteosarcoma on their humerus/radius/ulna, depending on where you want the amputation to happen. i believe that in cases where the tumor is large enough and ingrained enough, amputation is considered best practice, but don't quote me on that

WOW AND I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I MIGHT PICK UP THE SHOW AGAIN BUT. MMMMM NOPE.

i mean, i even knew it was coming! and i can comfort myself in the knowledge that she died in the bethiest way possible but

it may be time for me to do my rewrite of the show where lori is the sheriff that i've been talking about for ages

i don’t know that i’d’ve been able to control what came out of my mouth or happened on my face. you’re a stronger person than me.

thats all i know too but i might watch it just for lizard man i love him hes so creepy looking
