Ford watches Stan. Watches him as he steps down onto the sand. Glass Shard Beach. The place they spent the most amount of time as children. The start of it all. Just the smell of the sea and the sound of gulls- has his heart beating quicker. The nostalgia washes over him like the waves lapping at the shore.Ā
Stanford had hoped that bringing his twin brother here would bring at least some of his earlier memories flooding back to him. But the way Stanās eyes take in the place...it looks like heās seeing it for the first time...and Fordās heart breaks.Ā āStanley,...doesnāt this look at least a little bit familiar to you?ā

@littlestshieldā sent a message:Ā "Gladdy, catch me!" Iris squealed as she ran toward her big brother and jumped.Ā
Itās the flurry of giggles and pitter patter of tiny footfalls on the floor that he notices first. Iris has never been great at sneaking or surprising him for that matter, but then again she was only 6. Gladiolus tosses his textbook aside and turns just in time to catch her lithe frame in his sturdy hands. He holds fast to her torso, lifting her to soar overhead like the perfect little ballerinaāor rather by the buzzing sounds sheās making, a human airshipāas he runs in a circle around the living room. When he stops he cradles her against his chest.Ā
āYouāre home from dance lessons early today,ā he says, then feigns a look of mock scrutiny, āYou didnāt sneak out of class to chase that kitty again in the gardens did you Munchkin?!ā
He pinches her rosy cheek lightly as she laughs and squirms weak protests into his broad shoulders.
Iām doing it. On this blog, Sasuke gets thatĀ second arm back.
Full explanation under the cut. Short addition for rp-purposes:Ā
This affects his main verse and verses associated with it.
I am still open toward writing a verse strictly following canon.
I have made changes to Sasukeās main verse before, but with this, I am considering further changes (in particular regarding his 6/7 year search for the āthreatā endangering Konoha and his family).
Iāll add changes to my verses page so you can check should you be confused/unsure about something. You can also message me.Ā
I will make posts if major changes are made.
I guess you could say this blog is canon-divergent now? But, letās be honest, it always kinda has been.
IMPROVE ON CANON. MAKE IT BETTER.
From a chat:
I'm strongly considering adding the 'Oro gives Sasuke a second arm' thing to my canon because I hate the thought of Sasuke refusing to regain that arm for the sake of 'atonement'.
Yes, what bothers me is the thought that Sasuke never gets the arm back because he thinks he deserves permanently being handicapped for the wrongs he committed in the past (AT 12-17 YEARS OLD). I used to be okay with it because I could turn it into "That used to be the case, but now I've just gotten used to it. And it's not like I need it. I'm good as is. It's a matter of pride."Ā
But the Boruto anime kinda ruined that mindset for me because they make Sasuke talk of atonement even when he has Sarada. I don't want to promote that mindset, even if it is just through Sasuke not getting the second arm.Ā
I used to not care about Orochimaru and completely ignored his presence post-war, but he IS there, and he IS loyal(?) to Sasuke, so it would make sense that he could get involved in such a way. It also allows me to say "But Sasuke refused the arm because of the Senju cells. There's no telling what would happen to Sasuke's eyes if those cells became part of his body. Not willing to take that risk."Ā
Sasuke doesn't need to atone any more than Konoha needs to atone. I don't see why Sasuke would need to go to such lengths while Konoha (and it's representatives) pat themselves on the back for getting Sasuke under their control again.
Someone could nudge Sasuke toward getting the arm back. Could be Naruto, Sakura, Orochimaru himself. Could also be Kakashi. Sasuke has a lot of bonds that he cherishes now, at last, and people willing to support him because they want him to strive and be happy.
I think this would happen around the time he is 20 years old. He would have lived without a second arm for about 3 years. This time allows him to grow as a person and tackle his mental health issues; learn to be happy again.
And also, consider this: Sasuke, having two arms now, but still being fully capable of performing one-handed hand signs, utilizing his acquired skills in battle. In the end, he didn't grow weaker by losing his arm and having his worldview shattered, but stronger. More adaptable. More inventive.
= CHARACTER GROWTH
TLDR; At 20 years old,Ā Sasuke gets a new arm surgically attached by Orochimaru. He refused the Zetsu arm because of the Senju cells within it. Being an Uchiha, this is a risk he isnāt willing to take. Further, he thinks of the sacrifice of not regaining his arm as a means of atonement at first but grows out of this mindset eventually, hence his change of mind.
ā Weāre humans. And when humans want something, really, really badā¦we lie. ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āI mean, IāM NOT. BUT, yeah. Humans lie-- I get that. Itās not a purely a human trait nā I donāt get why people do, just ends up blowinā up in their face. Maybe they should just work for it, hmm?āĀ
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āDo tell me why you ripped my pages out back in that feeble camp, would ya?ā The floating grimoire poked inquisitively at the boy. If he could make a face itād certainly be one of subtle annoyance.Ā āYou know Iām a relic of IMMENSE and IMPOSSIBLE to comprehend power, right? I can even cause lawful people to become chaotic in their ways. Not a law that defines me!ā Heād float a little aloof now, like someone laying with their back in the water of a pool relaxing.Ā āHow did you think that was a good idea, boy?ā

@vintagevioletcoā asked-Ā "What happened?" - two word sentence starters meme.
Fordās nurses his ankle from where he is sat on the ground. His boot sits besides him- he had to remove the footwear in order to get a better look at the damage. His hair is a mess and his lab coat is torn.
Heās not sure whether he is lucky that the incident happened so close to Valās place or whether heād rather deal with this solo-...it wouldnāt be the first time that heās had to power through pain in order to find a safe spot to patch himself up and rest a few hours...or days.... but this isnāt the multiverse- he has to keep reminding himself of that.
He hisses in pain- before looking up to her- she must have heard him cry out in pain- or heard the beast as it vacated- maybe both-Ā āI was-ā He begins but quickly remembers that she might not know about Gravity Fallās supernatural...Should he trust her with what heās been doing? He catches a glimpse of her eyes- surely by now sheād figured out that there is something going on with Stanford Filbrick Pines and it isnāt that he is a clock fanatic.- Itās probably just as well- as he is certain that there is also something strange going on with her.Ā āIāve..Itās my ankle....I think itās broken.ā
His legs propel him as fast they can. He hadnāt expected this anomaly to be quite this big. He heard rumours that it was a beast. But this was perhaps the most sizeable and viciousĀ giant heād ever seen.
āBill, what are you doing?!āĀ
He canāt believe it.
...
Was Bill actually trying to protect him? Heād only asked the demon to join him so he could keep an eye on him (he still had difficulty trusting him), he never would have expected him to do this!!!
@yourfavoritegrunkleĀ asked-Ā ā§ - slap my museās hand away from something they shouldnāt touch
Ford almost shrieks- his hand moving quicker than ever before to bat his brotherās away from the object. His breath is caught in his throat until his brotherās sticky fingers are far away from his invention. For a moment-relief washes over his face.
But itās soon replaced with a stern stare.
āStanley!ā He reprimands.Ā āWhat did I just say?!ā There is disbelief in his voice- though, really, he should have known Stan wouldnāt listen to him. Even when they were kids- his brother just couldnāt help but do the exact opposite of what Ford would ask of him.- Once he almost put a fork in a plug socket!Ā āDo you know how dangerous that thing is?ā This is rhetorical more than anything else.Ā āIt would have blown your hand clean off.ā
āI picked it up from dimension E-92, to ward off pick pockets.ā
An exasperated sigh escapes him- a six fingered hand moves to pinch the bridge of his nose...Yes- he is trying to be a better brother to Stan- but he had to let him know the consequences of his actions- and if that meant being assertive- well- then it was for Stanās own good.Ā
He picks it up- knowing how to handle the item. He drops it into Stanās hand (after showing him the correct way to hold it).Ā āThe trick is to hold it at each corner. Usually pick pockets are not so careful. Wanting to get in and out as quick as possible.ā Though he suspects that Stan would know a thing or two about that.
