Thinking about Russos morality and tbh Russo is pretty similar to Tesoro in some of the ways she views the world. Like him she never expected to be able to get out of their neighborhood- or even poverty- at her luckiest she could have worked full time in the garage and learned enough to do more than heavy lifting and do odd jobs to scrape by, probably splitting rent with Celia. That is to say, her attitude to crime and hurting others for success was very much along the lines of i dont really like hurting people but if its me or them then well I'm gonna pick me. though unlike Tesoro it was more of a case by case basis, and she cared little for making people like her to make her life easier, so if injustice did happen shes more likely to call it out, especially if its affecting her friends.

I say was because after the turf war and her facial injury and loss of her eye, she struggled to get any work, legit or not, enough to keep a roof over her head, meaning she ended up homeless quickly. This ended up affecting her a lot, and made her much more vicious and willing to hurt people to not just survive, but get to a point where she could live- but on the flip side, it made her appreciate and treasure acts of kindness even more, meaning that when she turned up on Muros radar again, him putting a roof over her head as well as taking care of her as she recovered meant he earned her loyalty, even more than her past friendship with him had already.

She came out the other end more selfish, willing to not just hurt people for her own gain in the moment, but participate in the very type of organized crime that ruined her life and took the lives of so many of her peers. She tries not to cross the line into being cruel and harming people who did nothing wrong and in ways she doesn't benefit from, but like most of Muro & Co, hurting people in ways that benefit her could be as little as lashing out to maintain her reputation as not to be fucked with.

Beyond her close friends, she does try and look out for some people- as long as it doesn't come back to bite her later- While Muro has a low tolerance for misogyny, Russo is the one with the most day to day interactions with people and she relishes in both supporting the women and girls as well as those who are considered visually or emotionally different, and hurting those who hurt them. for example, if someone was found out to be abusing their girlfriend, if she could get away with it, they would at least get a beating from her, similarly she looks out for the local homeless, especially those who are disabled and have visual differences. while those could be said as good deeds, her motivation is more to make herself feel powerful for being able to punish people and to soothe her guilt, and while its true that helping the unhoused is probably good- helping them by employing them for criminal activity and making them reliant on their group for food and housing is dubious at best, and flat out preying on them at worst

"Listen," one guard said, "I know we have only just met-"

"No," the other guard said, "we've worked together for years!"

"-but you can trust me when I say-"

"I can't, you have the curse that's opposite from mine!"

"I don't care for you at all."

"Well, I… oh… I love you too."

STOP DOING THIS IN INJURY FICS!!

Bleeding:

Blood is warm. if blood is cold, you’re really fucking feverish or the person is dead. it’s only sticky after it coagulates.

It smells! like iron, obv, but very metallic. heavy blood loss has a really potent smell, someone will notice.

Unless in a state of shock or fight-flight mode, a character will know they’re bleeding. stop with the ‘i didn’t even feel it’ yeah you did. drowsiness, confusion, pale complexion, nausea, clumsiness, and memory loss are symptoms to include.

blood flow ebbs. sometimes it’s really gushin’, other times it’s a trickle. could be the same wound at different points.

it’s slow. use this to your advantage! more sad writer times hehehe.

Stab wounds:

I have been mildly impaled with rebar on an occasion, so let me explain from experience. being stabbed is bizarre af. your body is soft. you can squish it, feel it jiggle when you move. whatever just stabbed you? not jiggly. it feels stiff and numb after the pain fades. often, stab wounds lead to nerve damage. hands, arms, feet, neck, all have more motor nerve clusters than the torso. fingers may go numb or useless if a tendon is nicked.

also, bleeding takes FOREVER to stop, as mentioned above.

if the wound has an exit wound, like a bullet clean through or a spear through the whole limb, DONT REMOVE THE OBJECT. character will die. leave it, bandage around it. could be a good opportunity for some touchy touchy :)

whump writers - good opportunity for caretaker angst and fluff w/ trying to manhandle whumpee into a good position to access both sites

Concussion:

despite the amnesia and confusion, people ain’t that articulate. even if they’re mumbling about how much they love (person) - if that’s ur trope - or a secret, it’s gonna make no sense. garbled nonsense, no full sentences, just a coupla words here and there.

if the concussion is mild, they’re gonna feel fine. until….bam! out like a light. kinda funny to witness, but also a good time for some caretaking fluff.

Fever:

you die at 110F. no 'oh no his fever is 120F!! ahhh!“ no his fever is 0F because he’s fucking dead. you lose consciousness around 103, sometimes less if it’s a child. brain damage occurs at over 104.

ACTUAL SYMPTOMS:

sluggishness

seizures (severe)

inability to speak clearly

feeling chilly/shivering

nausea

pain

delirium

symptoms increase as fever rises. slow build that secret sickness! feverish people can be irritable, maybe a bit of sass followed by some hurt/comfort. never hurt anybody.

ALSO about fevers - they absolutely can cause hallucinations. Sometimes these alter memory and future memory processing. they're scary shit guys.

fevers are a big deal! bad shit can happen! milk that till its dry (chill out) and get some good hurt/comfort whumpee shit.

keep writing u sadistic nerds xox love you

ALSO I FORGOT LEMME ADD ON:

YOU DIE AT 85F

sorry I forgot. at that point for a sustained period of time you're too cold to survive.

pt 2

also please stop traumadumping in the notes/tags, that's not the point of this post. it's really upsetting to see on my feed, so i'm muting the notifs for this post. if you have a question about this post, dm me, but i don't want a constant influx of traumatic stories. xox
