there’s nothing wrong with needing to use gps directions to get everywhere.
it doesn’t mean you’re “stupid”, it doesn’t mean you’re not trying hard enough or not paying enough attention. it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong or taking the easy way out. it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be allowed to be independent.
yes, even if you need it to get somewhere you’ve been a million times before. even if you need it to get around the town you’ve lived in your entire life. even if other people think you should be able to go without it.
if you wouldn’t judge another disabled person for using certain tools that let them live more independently, don’t judge yourself for doing the same.
and never ever let someone else shame you into going out into the world without the tools that allow you to feel safe.
these tools exist to be used, so use them if you need them. there’s no shame in needing help.

Ratchet's thoughts on Deadlock's scars?
“Trim your damn TALONS.” is what he’s got to say about a few of them lmao
Ratchet has a thing for scars, he really does, he’s a fan of the rugged look. It’s kind of paradoxical though, because as a medic when he see a truly nasty one, in his mind he tells himself that if he were to be there to treat it, it wouldn't have healed as bad. Maybe he could've been there to knock some sense into it’s wearer to better look out for themself.
He wishes he could have been there for so many of Deadlock’s, and there are so. many.
There’s been quite a few wounds he's treated for Deadlock, a few on his chest, a few here and there on his legs (escaping to Neutral Land is a tough job) but the ones he’ll never be satisfied with their healing are the ones on his wrists. If only he had been there sooner for Deadlock, if only he was able to get him out of that dark, cold, rusty cell sooner–then the scars from the shackles wouldn't be as deep and wrecked as they are.
Deadlock doesn’t pay much mind to any of them though, he's not sentimental or embarrassed–they’re proof that he's here, he's alive, and he's not dying until he’s damn good and ready. Plus Ratty seems to like them enough.
Deadlock pretends to be asleep when he feels Ratchet study and trace them in the night.
