90% of "your group never experiences X like my group" could be solved by people asking "hey do you ever experience X or things like it?" first just to be sure, and 90% of "you think my group isn't experiencing X like yours" could be solved by asking "do you think my group experiences X or things like it?" before jumping to that conclusion based on misunderstanding what they said, sorry bro.

#like I saw someone say trans guys never experience a thing they very much experience earlier and I was like my dude just ask first #but also I a physically disabled person once got accused of saying physically disabled people have it easier when I literally never did #so like I think stop assuming what people have been through and stop assuming what people are saying and then we can all collab #y'know like high school musical we're all in this together fucking dance the bigots back to hell or something idk but just ask things #this post is about like tumblr posts that make wild assumptions about like straight people have never enjoyed halloween or crap #like obviously the assumption someone born rich has never been poor is like inherent definitionally and is not really just tumblr shit #but it'd be ironic given the whole point if one of you jumped to a conclusion about what I meant so go ahead and make my point

Scar....not-a-Chart!

Inspired by @/suginami-division + @/toyama-division, I figured I would do a rundown of the boys' scars since all of them have at least two at this point!

Haruto

Haruto has two scars from top surgery and he's about one step away from exaggerating where they're from to sound more impressive compared to the others in his group. Because when in doubt if someone bothers you about them, you can say "got in a fight with my former self and won" and it's technically true.

...But he also gets a new one along the side of his left rib over the course of the storyline. :> In a story I've only half-written and is after they start meeting some of the other canon (........ish, it's stageplay stuff) divisions. Which was lucky for him, it skimmed off the actual bone, if it'd been slightly lower he'd have a punctured lung to go with it.

He's understandably a little hesitant to show any of them, since the first two are distinctive and it means having to explain...quite a lot. So ironically he's quicker to explain the second one because the story behind it sounds really cool.

Damien

He's got one from a less than glamorous source under his fringe from a freerunning mistake where missing a jump cracked his head open. The others, uh, are a bit more interesting for certain values of the word.

The most noticeable and worst are some chemical burn scars on his lower arms from being careless while handling them (gloves are not enough in and of themselves, he found out), and two cuts across his torso, then one on his lower arm from the rare occasion where he was actively doing field work and got cornered. Neither are particularly gruesome compared to Shirou's whole mess but they are still quite visible.

He's happier to talk about the chemical burns (so he can lecture people on lab safety) and the stab wounds (they're cool and he can do half-truths about being attacked for no reason) but the one on his forehead is just embarrassing, to the point half the reason he has a fringe is to hide it.

Shirou

Shirou is quite badly scarred. He has six on his torso of varying severity (two of which are bullet wounds, one on the front of his shoulder and the other just above his hip. The bullet wounds here are probably the nastiest looking of the scars.) One is just under his neck along his clavicle from where someone tried to slit his throat and missed. He has a third bullet scar that glanced off his upper leg that came from the same gun as the aforementioned one on his hip when the shot went wide, a faint burn scar on his palm from disarming the same person who shot him while the end of the muzzle was still hot from firing a bullet, one long gash on his lower arm because raising your arm to protect your squishier bits from a stab technically is better than getting stabbed in the heart if you have nothing else to block with, and three scars from trying to crash in a window and getting glass shards in there.

And yes, I did deliberately make this add up to thirteen scars.

He knows that this all looks phenomenally suspicious given he's supposed to not be in a particularly violent line of work and the fact you can tell he's been shot at least three times when guns have been illegal in Japan even before the H-Era. As such, he doesn't like talking about them. It could make people ask questions, and he avoids lying at all costs. Unfortunately this is a very difficult subject to weasel his way out of especially with his preference for telling lies of omission and the closest he can really get to lying while giving true statements is "I'm in a dangerous line of work."

Because he is. It's just that the day job of being a coroner isn't that dangerous of a job, but the other one is.
