#tw splinter

⚠️ Squick injury below cut 😬

Hmmm.. haven’t really thought about it too much. My OC is pretty much animated me, so I’ll just explain a few things that have happened to me that have given me the reputation of being danger prone. :)

( WARNING - STORIES BELOW GET A LITTLE GRAPHIC )

- I fell off my top wooden bunk bed as a kid somehow gaining a 3 1/2 inch splinter through the skin under my toe

At work, ( I used to be a cart keeper at a grocery store) I stopped suddenly before a car could hit me while gathering carts, making both my big toe nails shove into my skin, later getting an infection in both and having to have both nails removed

Again at work, I was cleaning under my register, felt a prick and heard a snap, pulled my hand and ripped open my finger because of a jagged piece of metal. The cut was deep enough that I had to hold my hands into a cup form so I wouldn’t… spill anything. ( had to get a tetanus shot which was not fun.)

.. That’s but a few things that have happened to me- and therefore have happened to my OC. ( Hence her always carrying bandages and first aid kit in her pouch.) :) I hope to make more little comics with her whenever people send asks, like @chaosborb :)

“ this seems kind of — ridiculous, don’t you think? “ his gaze flicked up at her as she told him to HOLD STILL. his bottom lip poked out, pouting childishly for a moment or so before he more or less obliged to her fussing. “ I think — I’m fine, “ he said gently, still holding still , knowing he’d heal.

Me (an idiot) walked barefoot outside. Me (the idiot) felt sharp pain in my foot. Me (still an idiot) ignored it because that’s what I do. I ignore pain because that’s just how I deal with it at this point. It has now been 12 1/2 hours and I’m just now realizing the pain is from a huge fucking splinter in the pad (is that the term) of my foot.

I’ve been walking on it for over 12 hours. It’s practically embedded in my foot
