#self amputation

[jingszo]

Highlights

• Snow flies sustain walking at internal body temperatures as low as −10°C

• At this lower limit, the snow fly’s precious body fluids freeze, and it dies

• Snow flies self-amputate freezing legs to prevent ice from spreading to the body

• Leg self-amputation prolongs snow fly survival under frigid conditions

Chainshipping may be the funniest concept of all time. Lawrence Gordon really got put in a saw trap for emotional infidelity, and then decided the only logical reaction to that situation would be to commit emotional infidelity in the saw trap.

brother and i decided that timothy would greatly benefit (read: suffer entertainingly) if he hacked his bad leg off to get the Static out of him. tried and true method, okay, trust.

Terfs calling gender affirming surgery “self-mutilation” is so funny to me. Like sorry what exactly do they think is going on? I’m taking a knife and cutting off my tits like I’m in a goddamn saw trap? I’m inviting my friends over to have a party where they all grab knives and have a go at me like Ceaser? No lmao. I get my gender affirming surgery from PROFESSIONALS- the local Claire’s in my mall.

#okay but in all seriousness how is a medical procedure self mutilation #like I don’t get it #is getting a limb amputated self mutilation ? #is getting breast implants self mutilation ? #actually you know what ? idgaf about the logic behind it I don’t want to know lmao #terfs kys

👀 Gordon amputation HCs? (If you don't mind talking about them!)

Y;HES

ok disclaimer: I am not an amputee! I am not a medical professional! I am not a prosthetic maker! I am not an engineer! I am simply an autistic writer and artist who has had a webcomic with an amputee character for 5+ years and I have done my research- but PLEASE if you like these headcanons and use it as advice for writing amputees I would also suggest listening to other sources, too!

The prosthetic:

-the arm ends about maybe like five inches under the wrist- which makes it just enough to get basic prosthetics going. Something a LOT of people don't consider is how much space you need to get robotics in there!

-This is the case for everyones(?i have yet to see otherwise) headcanons whether they know it or not but he specifically has a myoelectric prosthetic- which in itself is an EXTREMELY high-tech one! What it does is it detects electricity(YES! YOUR MUSCLES HAVE ELECTRICITY IN THEM!) from the muscles under your skin and amplifies them to be movement!

I would actually HIGHLY suggest people do research into these prosthetics because they are SUPER cool but also not as good as you think they are! That being said:

-He cannot feel with it and has to guess how hard he has to grip something! There's research for prosthetics like this, but they're extremely faulty and- if anyone wants to correct me on this that's fine but I'm pretty sure- it would need Constant upkeep and repairs, ESPECIALLY if it could feel like a normal hand.

-at first he only used it when he went out and when he was doing something that might need two hands Because of this- he didn't really wear it much around the house. Not to mention like...he went from losing it, to an immediate gun arm, to suddenly having a prosthetic- whiiiich. Isn't good for the psychological part of a traumatic amputation! So yeah he didn't really like it all too much at first. Don't get me wrong it was a great tool and he appreciated it over no hand especially because he could actually properly articulate the fingers but...it also just. Was jarring.

-eventually, he and Dr. Coomer teamed up to make it more adaptable, and by that I mean a fucking pirate-ass thing where he could swap out his hand for other things like forks or electric screwdrivers or like. Anything. They like to get together to make new hands on the weekend. It's enrichment. With these add-ons he wore the prosthetic more, but sometimes he just. prefers taping a fork to his limb and calling it a day.

-^this hc is based off of adaptive devices that people make to work with whats left of the limb instead of trying to replace it! They range from other robotics to something plastic and/or 3d printed that just holds a pencil in place. From what I've researched they tend to be more liked than clunky fingers you cant feel lol

-IF THERE IS ANY ADVICE YOU GLEEN FROM THIS: please please please he doesn't sleep with his prosthetic on he SHOULD NOT SLEEP WITH HIS PROSTHETIC ON. DO NOT SLEEP WEARING YOUR PROSTHETIC- this also goes for just chilling out ect. Do you "chill out" in your jeans with a belt on?

-I've said it a few times already but I DO want to encourage other people who draw art or write fics that it's OKAY if his prosthetic doesn't work like a perfect, new hand and in fact is more realistic and something that should be done more often! It's very common to want to write off an amputees disability with "ok now they have a prosthetic they're all better <3" which isn't true at all and it really IS worth it to do some extra research- I might just have an engineering and medical special interest so it might just be me but its SUPER fun to learn things and it makes it more interesting writing how a character interacts with their disability!

The amputation/specifics(WARNING FOR TALK ABOUT GORE, OBVIOUSLY):

-I usually write/draw it being a combat knife because that's specifically what he mentions was used, but realistically it would've been something that could get through the suit itself. Either way, it was a really slow and painful process. Fun fact- while this is like...a debate in the medical field, the forearm is one of the most painful things in the body to break!

-Continuing from that last part, there ARE a lot of nerves in your forearm(ever hit your funnybone? yeah. yowch), as well as TWO bones. Arms and hands are SUPER complex so injuries are...just As complex!

-In the full VOD in act 3, Gordon mentions his suit cauterized it- which if you dont know what that is- it's basically Burning A Wound Shut. I can see this being the case, actually- seeing as the suit itself detects specific things in the body being injured- electricity IS a way to cauterize something. I want to point out that cauterization, however, is AGONIZINGLY PAINFUL and is SUPER DANGEROUS, even when controlled! He's SUPER lucky he didn't go into shock and die in his sleep lmao.

-Oh speaking of sleep. I said this in another post but it was sunset when they betrayed him- and daytime when he woke up. So he was asleep in the garbage compactor for hours.

-It's implied because he keeps talking about how he's still bleeding, but yeah even with the suit cauterizing the wound it wouldn't be fully shut. So he'd be bleeding a lot- ESPECIALLY if it didn't want to kill the nerves in his arm(which makes prosthesis easier in the future, via the myoelectric method I mentioned earlier).

-Because of this Tommy(and later Dr. Coomer and Bubby) had to make him make-shift wrappings and have him lean on them a lot. He lost a Lot of blood and by the time they found a fully functioning medical station it wasn't able to just...give him more. It could give him iron and such but yeah this guy has anemia.

-this is just a really funny note but in act 4 when he's leaving Darnolds lab in the VOD he goes "well I guess I'm able-bodied again!" NO YOU ARE NOT THAT IS GUNHAND. But anyways because of this statement, I think for the first few days after being without his arm hes like. oh im not really disabled though even though he is like. stereotypically disabled. sir

-Phantom pains and nightmares are. A nearly nightly combo.

-Whether they're triggered by something or not, phantom pains in general suck so so so so much. Just so much.

-He actually took a Long time to go to a doctor for his issues. Gordon. Buddy. Look Me In The Eyes. you can get medicine for your pain. you can take physical therapy. please . He wasnt even trying to like...tough it out like part of him was but it was mostly that he just. didnt know and forgot.

-it took him a really long time to trust Benrey touching where his hand used to be, but once they grew close post-rescas him and Tommy became Gordons go-to for phantom pain/itch help. slap my dumb arm thank you

Aaaand thats all I can think of at the moment! I might add on if I have any like. Sudden crushing things I need to say about him and my amputation hcs!

#hlvrai #half life vr but the ai is self aware #gordon feetman #amputation #asks #goob.txt #anyways. i know its ambiguous if he got his bio hand back or a prosthetic but guys....i promise its not that scary to write.... #at least give him like. agonizing problems with his arm coming back if you give him a bio one. but prosthetics are so fun #as well as writing when characters arent wearing them or even just dont like them!!

Shout-out to selfshippers who love cruel and dangerous F/Os that do fucking awful shit to the S/I. I'm talking full nine yards. Manipulation, kidnapping, torture, brainwashing, manhandling, gaslighting, experimentation, so many things because they're just that evil, and they want YOU. Treating you like their object, their possession, their pet to put their hands on, and if you try to leave they'll keep you there against your will. Why would you ever want to leave them, they love you so much! And you're gonna fucking like it wether you want to or not.

Fucking YANDERE F/Os who will take you no matter what, even if it means cutting your damn legs off

Or maybe you, the S/I, is getting yandere? We can be dangerous wild hoes too, the fantasy is POWER AND YOUR YANDERE FEELS ARE YOUR F/OS PROBLEM NOW

Toxic and Evil selfshipping dynamics are *chefs kiss* delicious. I love my evil F/Os so goddamn much and maybe would follow their order to kill someone 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💦💦💦
