I mean, apparently Buttercup just sticks her hand to things to pick them up (S03E29 Criss Cross Crisis)

And in Oops, I Did it Again (s06E04B) the girls, when made without Chemical X, come out “normal” and do have fingers, feet, noses, and normal faces.

So like…when everyone in the show calls them “bug-eyed freaks,” “pumpkin heads,” etc, they legit mean the girls have big round heads, giant eyeballs, and stump limbs.

at first i thought maybe they could have tiny hooks at the end of the stumps that would snag onto surfaces, similar to cats tongues ( and yeah alright spiderman ) but the issue is that they probably wouldnt be effective for smoother surfaces

they could also have wrinkled pads like geckos feet that could cling to smoother things no problem, but then the problem is maintaining enough suction to actually lift and carry an object

i fear the solution may be something even Worse

we stood, a perimeter marked out in people scattered there like pebbles our shuffling feet against the scrub of white

“she’s alive,” someone said and one of the younger kids burst out in tears and then all of them were crying sobs like rushing water, cutting through the sheet of winter air we did not cry we could do nothing more than hold each other

we would have cheered her on an eternity ago, all those faithless winters as she walked out to the center and returned each fearless step each cast and glide across the mirrored surface of the world, her arms upraised sun shining off the ice behind her even when the worst had happened that jagged black hole where she had used to be i think we were half-expecting her to emerge from among those sunset shards unbroken, unafraid unalloyed in celebration as we witnessed her, for one brief moment
