Limb By Limb Head canons and thoughts :]

Spoilers (obviously /silly)

-The first people Daas goes to after escaping the mine is Devon's house. It absolutely scared the shit out of their dad- but after the initial freak out- her dad helps take care of them and makes them soup and sandwiches.

-It takes a few weeks for Daas to go back to school, but once they do- they're phrased as a new student with a vertigo. Jessica C helps show them around the school and ends up being good friends with Daas.

- Daas had to go to therapy for a couple years, both Physical Therapy to get used to their new body, and mental therapy.

-It takes a few days for Daas to get up the courage to actually shower, it's awkward at first, looking at all of their new body (and still probably processing) but in the end, they all feel better.

- Daas is still covered in doodles done by Alex (and sometimes Devon)

(I am not a system and I don't fully understand all the terms so if I get something wrong I apologize and plz let me know)

- Daas acts very much like a system (for obvious reasons) and most of the time, everyone has control of a certain body part, but there are times when one or two people control the body at a time. For example- Whenever they're around Devon's family- She's usually in control of the body- or when Daas needs to go to cheer practice- Summer usually takes control.

- Whenever the body is asleep, the four of them all chill out in headspace, (which I think would be a mixture of all their living rooms or comfort places) they can still sleep while in their headspace and can still dream.

They're all able to go into headspace while the body is awake- they're all still aware of what's going on around the body while in there, but just not in control. Kind of like when your in a car listening to music, you're aware of your surroundings but not really focusing on it.

(I like the idea that headspace has windows, and the windows represent what time of day it is- so they all know what time it is while in headspace. (If it's daytime outside of the body, then it's daytime for headspace as well. Same with nighttime)

- When Summers parents found out about Daas, they were disgusted- and tried to disown Summer, but Devon took control and defended her with Alex joining in. Alice and Summer both retreated into headspace, where Alice tried her best to comfort Summer.

Limb By Limb is giving me so many funky thoughts and feelings- :3

(Hey so I had this in my drafts and while I was editing it- it got posted- idk how that happened but okay??)

Do not repost!

For me a core feature of Galex's relationship is that Alex wants to be seen as strong and unflappable and respected and always in control, right. And Gene wants to be seen as a kind of unquestioned alpha male in charge who never shows any weakness and who deserves the blind respect and obedience of the rest of the team even when he yells at them and verbally abuses them. And they do see each other that way, to some extent. But they also both know that to some extent all of that is bullshit, because they've willingly allowed each other to look deeper.

Because, see, to me another key fact about them is that Alex actually really likes being looked after, and Gene actually really likes having someone to look after, and this is each of their deepest and most personal vulnerabilities that they only really show to each other.

And then almost never directly and outwardly acknowledge, because that would mean acknowledging their own secret hidden layers.

They're perfect for each other. But they're horrid for each other because they're both equally shit at communicating or admitting weakness.

This is a long rambling post I just have a lot of thoughts. I just love them.

It was only supposed to be Joe 5 with three others, but then this happened and now a wholeass roster has formed...

The beauty mark became a star tattoo (he painted over it). Also I'm trying out a beige jacket instead. The orange works better here.

chapter 10 quinn having the most sexually charged dream abt being ripped apart and dismembered. y'know. normal person things

[forestshadow-wolf]

Alex keller idea, maybe alex/farah implied(situationally(?)) Or alex/gaz/farah implied (situationally(?)) If you want. They're there but nothing really happens between them, this is all just me hurting alex (...sorry :[)

ANYWAYS! You know alex's missing leg? *throws alex (pre amputation), farah, and gaz into a jar along with a vaguely Saw-horror-esq situation au* *shakes the jar*

Cw: uh... gore(?), I'm stealing alex's leg, amputation via (literal) crushing injury, i threw canon out the window and watched it fall to it's death

I almost feel bad for this, I accidentally wrote this instead of doing actual work, I'm beginning to put things under the cut bc it makes it easier for me to find things on my blog 😁👍, use of cubic measurements when it should probably be metric, also I keep saying "weight" just know that I mean just a giant metal square that weighs like 1k lbs or something idk

well... things were not looking good. he can't wait to get drunk enough to make regrettable decisions if when they get out of this.

Gaz had offered to help Farah and Alex investigate a big crime lord in the area. normally this wouldn't be a them problem, they'd leave this kind of work to the local police, but not this time. Interpol says that after they started getting the videos they had to start calling in higher and higher level authorities.

after meeting with Interpol they learn that they'd been getting public videos for a while, at least a few weeks before they were contacted.

they got right to work as soon as they could.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

they'd already been through a number of crazy traps, only surviving by the skin of their teeth, but this one was somehow both the worst and they best that they'd been put through so far.

the giant weight above each them begins sliding down the walls above them, making a horrifyingly bad screeching-scraping sounds. it'll only get faster and faster the further it falls as the walls open up, until it's in complete freefall. they start running for the marked safe zone as fast as they can.

they had been working on a lead for this guy for almost a week. had traced him back to an old warehouse district by the waterfront. well, they thought they had. it turns out that they were just being led on, to be trapped in his sadistic game. they had split up to cover more ground when they'd gotten trapped.

Gaz makes it out first, he watches on the screen as Farah makes it out of her own falling death trap, and breathes out a sigh of relief. the screen enlarges onto Alex's feed with anticipation. the world watches as they see alex's foot get caught on an imperfection in the floor. they see him go down, just before the safe zone, they watch as the weight falls faster and faster. they watch as Alex frantically scrambles back, fear in his eyes.

there's a silent sigh of relief as alex makes it to the safe zone, and not a moment too soon as the weight SLAMS down into place.

and then an indescribable guttural sound of absolute shock and agony RIPS through the still air, tearing the silence to shreds. it's horrifying, just the sound of terror and agony personified. the feed on the monitor goes black with a spray of blood.

Gaz's stomach drops... as does his body when the floor literally disappears from under his feet. his body slams onto the concrete ground. he looks up and 20 feet away alex is laying prone on the ground; panicking; and Farah, 20 feet away on his opposite side. 60 feet away there's an open door at the end of the seemingly empty room.

"ALEX!" they scream at the same time, and scramble to get to the man.

his leg is a mangled, bloody mess up to the knee. his foot is... no more... presumably nothing more than a bloody, pulpy liquid underneath the weight. the rest of his leg is bleeding profusely and just looks... wrong. it was twisted and bent at odd angles, and looked nauseatingly... deflated, if that's the right word.

~~~ time skip because im lazy ~~~

x-rays show that aside from the obvious foot... lacking situation, that his tibia and fibula are completely and utterly unsavable. closest to his knee the bones are spiderwebbing with fractures, and furthest from it might be closer described as liquified. his kneecap is dislocated (not that it really has a place anymore), and the cartilage; due to the pressure; shot from his flesh; he's need replacement surgery for that. even his femur has signs of stress fractures from the impact. the kneecap would be reset after they did surgery to remove what was left of the tibia and fibula.

setting up and getting the surgeries took months, the recovery; even longer, physical therapy; nearly 2 years, and another year until he could join combat once again, and even that was at a reduced rate for at least 4 years.

Posting this separately from the rest for tw reasons

It's been a long time since ive read the first book of quests, but from what I remember, if Alex wasn't in a kids book he would be slamming back shots every night. Poor guys fucking depressed. On the other side, I headcannon Aaron as being heavily adverse to drinking, which is kinda funny because he's literally killed people.

[rpfisfine]

his arm vein situation is so fucking terrifying

Enchanted with the idea of Farah sending Alex a photo of generation 3 Frankie Stein. He looks the character up, makes a joke about how she even has a leg missing like him. Farah sends him an article on being non-binary. The texts sound like this.

'I didn't know there was a word for that, cool.'

'isn't humanity wonderful?'

'Yeah commander... yeah it is.'

There's a sticker of the character underneath his hard phone case, he sees it and thinks of his Commander, who thought of him even in a silly doll. Alex thinks about things that remind him of her, warm MRE's, a scarf so well loved it frays, the sun making swealtering waves across his vision.

They both know its to the ends of the earth with each other, they say it between the simple act of breathing, in their trigger discipline 'this bullet is for our cause, this bullet is for you, this bullet kept you safe'. They say it with the knowledge human beings can easily be killed, that in all the horror they see. There is still beauty.

It lies within them, within the things that remind them of each other. Even within a doll, made for children, missing a leg like him.

Sometimes, just sometimes. They even say it out loud.

the more comfortable and enthusiastic alex gets on stage this tour, the more of the eycte in him is coming out
