#and more practical prosthetic usage

[poniesart]

I just saw a really good post about the topic of limb differences in media here and want to apologize for my poor depiction of it in my OC art in the past. While I know that people don't wear certain prosthetics often or always, and often use mobility aids in addition to prosthetics (or without prosthetics), I neglected to reflect that reality in posts of my character Owen and will do better in the future.

New huntlow concept. Gonna go off the popular headcanon that Flapjack's sacrifice will give Hunter the ability to teleport without a staff.

So, it takes him a while to get used to this new method as it works differently from before. His control over magic with his staff came from his mental link with Flapjack, so all the commands came from his brain.

However, now it comes from the heart. Or well. Whatever bile sac-esque prosthetic Flapjack left in his chest. He has to feel rather than think to get it to work. Which is pretty straightforward in theory but difficult in execution. He can handle life-or-death battles just fine because he's entirely fueled by survival instinct so it works like a charm. But when it comes to casual usage, he needs to practise and always ends up constantly jumping out of bounds from his target location. It takes him a while to master it.

Anyway Willow continues to be the toughest, sweetest, most vivacious girl Hunter has ever known in his entire life. And okay, he might not have been the most subtle before with his red cheeks and his tendency to go speechless whenever she was around but he liked to believe he was handling it just fine. But now....oh Titan, now...

It starts off like it was before. Willow will make some big bold declaration, or she'll flex her big strong arms, or she'll burst into adorable giggles or she'll wink at him from across the room and Hunter will be helpless to the dazzle that overcomes him. And his insides will flutter and he won't be able to stop the wide idiot grin that spreads across his face. She's so pretty. He likes her face. Her eyes. Her mouth. Her freckles. Her dimples.

And then. Glitch jump.

Hunter's own heart fucking ejects him directly into Willow's personal bubble. Practically nose-to-nose. And he's suddenly drowning in bright green irises and the smell of dirt and flowers and her pretty shaped lips and AAAAAAA!!!!!!

Mortified, Hunter can't apologize in any way that is more articulate than a panicked squeak, before his fight or flight kicks in and he's abruptly launched as far away as possible, which lands him on the end of a ledge and he near immediately loses his balance and falls on his face.

Fault!Tubbo prosthetics +thoughts

I’m still not completely sold on the design I’m using, and have been workshopping it for months at this point. Feedback is encouraged, though as a note Fault!Tubbo is a traumatic double below-the-knee amputee who possesses neither proper materials, medical knowledge, nor human biology. Below the cut is essentially an outline of my thought process. It’s kinda long given I’ve been planning/researching for a few years about this plot line, and wanted to consolidate information for Fault. 

The construction: The Blade first set upon the project of creating the prosthetics with his usual level of intensity that he brings to all tasks. Wilbur ‘gathered’ most of the materials as their chief dirty crime boy, and Tommy painted them with his TI-Red. Philza offered welding abilities and also some experience from a few decades he spent as a pirate. But for the most part, the project was the collaboration between The Blade and Tubbo, going back and forth in planning and implementation. The ability for the pair to cooperate was a huge step in their relationship, even if (despite what The Blade hoped) this in no way meant Tubbo forgave him for the injury. Cause. Duh. 

The materials available were severely limited, cobbled together with stolen cans, belts, wood, and a pair of shoes. With little outside resources or information, the design was both crude and imperfect. Lots of testing was required, particularly to suit the irregularities of Tubbos’ biology. 

One advantage of being a skin suit pilot by a swarm of bees was that Tubbo could pour bees into their purposefully hollowed-out prosthetic, allowing increased control of movement. One major difference between Tubbo and a typical human amputee was that they couldn’t wear a shrinker sock (even if they had one), and couldn’t rest their stump in the prosthetic. The ability to hover helped this particular challenge to some degree, but constant flying was exhausting and negated the intention of the prosthetics. It made for a big design hurdle, but everyone’s particularly cautious about it given the last time they restricted the stumps Tubbos’ gradual regeneration collapsed inward and left them with permanent nerve damage. Additionally, SBI have to refit/rebuild the prosthetics far more often given the slowly lengthening limbs that they don’t want to interfere with. I reckon this would make prosthetics extremely difficult once they’re getting to ankle/feet territory, but since that won’t happen for an estimated half a million words, it’s not my problem yet. Tubbo will have to utilize a number of different designs, likely further stressing the scarce supplies the anomalies can muster. 

General details:

Tommy painted the prosthetics with crimson stars and flowers in reference to an earlier scene where Tommy helped Tubbo through a crisis, wherein both of them managed to find a hope to latch onto, both in each other and the future. Freedom to always see the stars; a return to the field of flowers that Tubbo called home. 

Tubbos’ adjustment period was pretty rough, given no one knew what they were doing, and were also dealing with a lot of other problems. Tubbo definitely did not get the recommended slow increase in usage time as the group tends to walk approximately 7-10 hours daily to avoid the Foundation. This greatly frustrated them, but the rest of the group (especially Philza) made sure they didn’t push themselves too hard.

They had to add more straps than typical to better secure the prosthetics, as where usually gravity would keep them more secured, Tubbo kept accidentally hovering away and leaving the prosthetics behind. 

Tubbo was annoyed at being forced to wear shoes for the first time since they were 5, but it was easier to use them in the design for balance. 

When other Hivemind members front they don’t know how to use the prosthetics because they’d never had practice. Rhodes felt they were inconvenient, but Jasmine didn’t care because she just flew everywhere anyway. 

The prosthetics made flying more cumbersome because of their weight and the limited space to put bees inside compared to Tubbos’ original legs. 

The cloth used to cushion the stumps had dinosaurs on it for Jasmine.

Tubbo tended to prefer them off, which brought them at odds with ‘sleeps in his shoes’ Wilbur, who insisted it’d be safer to always have them on considering how often they need to jolt into action to avoid the Foundation. 

They often accidentally left them in weird places and then used a swarm to fly the legs over. 

They got very grouchy and snappish on bad pain days, and Tubbo, Wilbur, and Tommy commiserated together when the weather messed with their scars. 

As a final note, Tubbo was intended to lose their legs from the very beginning of Fault, long before I even decided to make it a fic and it was still in its infant comic phase. Given the years-long endeavor this was (and still is), alongside my own personal growth as an author/person and the research I did in an attempt to more accurately portray Tubbos’ disabilities, I realized the problematic trope of a ‘disability cure’ that was embedded in my story through Tubbos’ ability to gradually regenerate the body they inhabit. It was impossible to write out the injury, given how deeply it affected their planned actions, relationships, and character arc. Furthermore, isn’t that the problem of the trope to begin with? That disabilities are written out, glossed over, ignored, much like people attempt to do in real life. The regeneration likewise had narrative purposes, particularly in the Foundation’s experimentation with it. So I had a problem on my hands. 

The main way I attempt to address this is in a series of short and long-term accompanying effects to avoid depicting a full cure. 

Short Term:

Phantom pain

Not having legs for the vast majority of the fic, ie months. 

Another trope of course being a professor X figure. I.e., using telekinesis/flight to negate the disability. Tubbo has this to an extent with their swarms/literal wings. Part of my response to that was during the escape they lost significant portions of their hive. This has actual meaning since I’m the type of person to mathematically pinpoint the approximate amount of bee population needed to move a flesh-honeycomb structure mimicking a human body. 

Their capacity to lift a weight lowered significantly to the point that moving around their own body was taxing, particularly in flight. No doubt this was me projecting my own chronic fatigue onto them but psh no one’s gonna notice. 

Long term: 

Scarring

Even more trauma

Nerve damage/chronic pain. The last major long-term effect comes around as a result of failure to properly manage their traumatic amputation. Given they had approximately fifteen minutes of professional medical intervention and then were shoved into a siege situation followed by living on the run, there was little knowledge or supplies. Tubbo proceeded to poorly cope via a combination of intensive pain medication, heavy disassociation, and ignoring the problem in favor of bigger, flashier problems. Given they didn’t have blood or flesh, the ignored injury luckily didn’t get hella infected and kill them. But due to the aforementioned healing factor, the regenerating leg couldn’t properly grow while bandaged, instead growing inward in a way that caused further health problems. Amateur surgery was attempted by Wilbur to clear out some degree of damage, resulting in further growth being unhindered but leaving Tubbo with scarring and nerve damage that never goes away. 

The goal is to attempt to portray their disabilities to the best of my ability with regards to the fantasy elements present in the work. While on a surface level the amputations are “healed” there are many complications associated with it. Temporary disabilities of course also exist, and most people will at some point encounter one in their lifetime. My goal is to portray a mixture of short and long-term symptoms, as well as how Tubbo messily copes with them. I don’t intend to get into the emotional aspects here but OH BOY. Are there many! 

As with most major (and admittedly incredibly minor) aspects of this story, research is an ongoing process. I’m not sure that there’s much purpose in this, other than the autistic urge to write papers about my own stories.

Crest of the Astral Garden Brass with ethereal opal inlay and preserved fairy weavevine Veride make, c. 1815-1820 Gift of Mrs. Cassia Leonard Trost These broaches, crafted by the Veride settlers of the early 1800s, utilized ethereal opal not only as decoration but for practical purpose as well. Many botanists used the opals light to manipulate the plant life on the outer ring of the Garden. This is a stunningly rare example of early usage of Astral plant preservation and manipulation, a practice that precluded the more robust organic construction and prosthetics we see today. Unfortunately, it wasn't until the discovery of Botanist Octavia Bancroft in 1821 that ethereal opal is an agitator to class 12 embryophites. The museum extends our deepest thanks to the Trost family for this unique donation. The preserved fairy weavevine is in excellent condition, and the symmetry of growth denotes a particularly skilled craftsman. Though there have been many expeditions into the first settlements, this piece remains one of the few artifacts containing organic matter. As of today, remains of the first settlements within the Astral Garden are primarily inorganic.

Finding the Best Implant Dentist in Vasant Vihar: Your Guide to Dental Implants

A dental implant serves as a prosthetic tooth substitute. The root and the crown make up a natural tooth. The part that is visible and covered in white enamel is the crown. The tooth root that penetrates the jawbone supports the crown. The portion of the tooth that an implant essentially replaces is the root. What is often referred to as an implant consists of three components:

The implant device itself is placed straight into the bone.

The abutment is the component that joins the implant device to the overlaying crown or denture.

The third component: the overlying denture.

What advantages do dental implants have over alternative forms of care?

Excellent and predictable results in terms of look, speech, chewing abilities, and overall oral health.  What's more, having implants gives patients the self-assurance to eat, smile, and interact with people without worrying about their appearance or whether their dentures would fall out.

After extraction, preservation of the healthy bone remains.

Preservation of nearby teeth and their enamel because they don't require care to fill in the gap left by a lost tooth (such as a bridge).

Resistance to cavities because, unlike natural teeth, implants do not decay.

Possibility of a fixed restoration rather than a prosthetic that is removable.

Help in keeping a detachable prosthesis in place.

The Role of an Implant Dentist

Advanced technology is essential to the well-known dental clinics in Vasant Vihar, including our respected practice, which has been named the Best Dental Clinic.

 Implant-Supported Dentures: Better than regular dentures in terms of comfort and stability, they also reduce slippage and increase chewing efficiency.

Do dental implants require special care and maintenance?

The cleaning and upkeep of dental implants is comparable to that of your natural teeth, as advised by your dentist.  You might need to take extra care of your teeth to preserve your dental work, depending on the kind of implant-supported prosthesis you have.  Dental implants typically require routine cleanings as well as proper at-home hygiene, which includes mouthwash rinses, brushing, and flossing.  Certain intricate dental implant prostheses could necessitate the usage of add-ons like a Waterpik, specialized tooth floss, or tiny brushes made to clean in small areas.

“I have the general concept, lovey.” Floofty adjusted their bowtie as they kept eye contact with the taller grumpus, “You don’t have to treat me like a pup.”

Triffany blinked and nodded, “Okie dokie!” She took a few steps back to give the other grumpus room. “You go on ahead and try then!”

Floofty’s gaze drifted to the field in front of them. It was one of the more difficult ones to tend to on the property. Wambus hadn’t gotten rid of all the larger rocks, so most of them had broken and made pebbles and stones. The soil had compacted due to its lack of usage. It was nothing Floofty couldn’t handle. They were getting used to using their new leg during physical therapy appointments and everyday use. This would be a cakewalk.

Their first few steps off the soft grass were a good start. It soon came to them that the rocks would be a bit of a challenge. Their faux foot couldn’t steady like their fleshy one could. They tried not to put their arms out to balance themself, but this caused them to stumble.

“Lovey,” Triffany called out, “Ya doin’ alright there?”

Floofty groaned. They could just feel her concern for them from where they stood. It made them a little sick, but they guessed it was okay for her to worry about their wellbeing.

“I’m fine!” Floofty called out, “Just...not stable ground.”

“Do ya need help-”

“No!” Floofty’s upper lip started to curl into a snarl as they looked at the other grumpus, “I can do this by myself!”

Floofty took another few steps, but stumbled yet again. They growled and let out a curse under their breath. They could do this! They weren’t stupid. They knew how to use their leg. They can-

Floofty stumbled once more, but put their arms out to balance themself. Once they were stable, they let out a huff in frustration.

“...Fine.” They started, “Maybe your assistance is needed.”

Triffany started across the field. Her soft blue eyes never left her partner’s gaze as she drew closer to them. “It’s okay ta ask for help, Floofty…”

“Give me your paws.” Floofty spat out as they looked away.

The taller grumpus gave the other a soft smile as she took their paws in hers and began leading them through the field. The two went slowly, with Triff walking backwards and Floofty trying not to fall over. After a while, they finally made it to the other side of the field.

“Remember now,” Triff started as she helped them onto the grass, “Ya gotta use your hip muscles...and learnin’ ta balance without toes is weird, but you’re doin’ great, ya?”

Floofty blinked slowly, before giving one nod, “Yes. Indeed.”

Triffany giggled softly as she ruffled the smaller grumpus’ hair, “C’mon now, I got stuff to work on in the house. Ya wanna help me, don’t’cha?”

“Of course I would,” Floofty stated as they fixed their hair, “You know I love helping you.” They grabbed onto their partner’s paw and walked towards the house with her. For once in a long time, Floofty had a small little smile on their face.

The biomimetic hand prosthesis Hannes uniquely similar to a human hand

The biomimetic prosthetic hand Hannes is featured on Science Robotics' cover for September, 2020; researchers from Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT- Italian Institute of Technology) and Centro Protesi INAIL (the prosthetic unit of the National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work) in Italy reported about its ability to replicate the key biological properties of the human hand: natural synergistic and adaptable movement; biomimetic levels of force and speed; high anthropomorphism and grasp robustness. Developed involving researchers, orthopaedists, industrial designers together with patients, Hannes is able to restore over 90% of functionality to people with upper-limb amputations. It owns CE marking and it is ready to enter the international medical market, but its future commercialization will be possible only when researchers will identify investors and industrial partners.

The robotic system Hannes was born out of the IIT's Rehab Technologies Lab, that is the joint-lab between Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genova and Centro Protesi INAIL in Budrio (Bologna), coordinated by Lorenzo De Michieli; the collaboration started at the end of 2013 with the aim of creating innovative high-tech cost-effective solutions for patients with physical impairment. Among the solutions developed so far, Hannes is the most recent result, whose name is a tribute to Professor Johannes "Hannes" Schmidl, technical director of the Centro Protesi Inail in the 1960s and pioneer in upper limb prosthetics. On September 9th 2020, the hand Hannes was awarded the international industrial design prize Compasso d'Oro, due to its original and highly innovative concept.

Hannes is an anthropomorphic, poly-articulated upper limb prosthetic system including hand and wrist, whose main characteristics are the softness and the ability to dynamically adapt themselves to the shape of objects to grasp. It is uniquely similar to a human hand and, being developed directly with patients, it is of practical use. To evaluate the effectiveness and usability of Hannes, pilot trials on amputees were performed at Centro Protesi Inail and researchers found that, after a training period of less than one week, patients could autonomously use Hannes domestically to perform activities of daily living.

The prosthesis is a myoelectric system that can be worn all day long and adjustable to different upper limb impairments. Therefore, an array of surface electromyographic sensors, placed within a custom socket, detects the activity of the residual limb muscles - in the lower or higher part of the arm, which are actively contracted by the user to perform multiple movements. Moreover, through a specially developed software and a bluetooth connection, it is possible to customize the operating parameters of the hand, such as the precision and speed of movements, to ensure the most optimized experience for each user.

Hannes hand has been tested for durability and robustness in a setting that simulated more than 1 year of usage of a so called "pro-user" (almost 500000 life cycles).

The true intelligence of Hannes lies in the mechanical design, which is completely unique in its market sector, and it gives to the prosthesis the versatility and the movement of a natural hand. The underlying mechanism of the hand is a mechanical differential system that allows Hannes to adapt to the object being grasped by using just a single motor. This also permits to dramatically enhance performance due to its efficiency, at the same time, to be coherent with the 50th percentile human hand size. Hannes is provided in two different sizes, 7 ¾ and 8 ¼, for right and left handed and suitable to female and male subjects. Its weight is 450 grams.

Fingers can flex and be positioned in a natural manner, even at rest. In particular, the thumb can be oriented in 3 different positions to replicate a wide variety of grips, including a fine grip that allows to pick up small objects, a lateral grip, which allows to grasp thin objects, and finally a power grip capable of grasping and moving even heavy loads. The overall grasp is efficient, robust against external conditions and natural. The system also permits to pronate and supinate the wrist ('key turning movement'), allowing grasps in different orientation without relying on harmful patient compensation.

Hannes can perform a full closed grasp in less than 1 second and, at the same time, it can exert a maximum grasp force of 150N, that is well beyond other commercial and research poly articulated hands, and it has an autonomy of a whole day of standard use (battery life of 1 day: 12V power supply for a battery capacity of 1300 mAh).

Researchers conducted experiments to validate Hannes's performance and the human-likeness of its grasping behaviour and they demonstrated an improved performance compared with existing research or commercial devices.

The fundamental principles and design of Hannes are covered by IIT-INAIL patent applications. Moreover, the prosthetic hand obtained CE marking, which is fundamental for future commercialization in the European market and a precondition for international sale. Researchers are looking for investors and companies to industrialize and produce Hannes on a large scale, benefiting patients with physical impairment.

 Blockchain 

It is a technology which allows digital information to be distributed but not copied. It is a kind of digital currency as example Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum and the like. Let me explain you how this technology works Once a block is filled with data, it is chained to the previous block, thus making the data chained together in chronological order. Every block will have a unique hash on its own and store the hash of the previous block it was chained to. As soon as a new block is added to a blockchain, the entire blockchain record is updated in all the nodes that are part of the blockchain network, thereby creating a lot of replications of the blockchain so that even if one computer is corrupted or compromised, the entire blockchain data is available in all other nodes. In future the blockchains and cryptocurrency would be a major part of the mainstream financial system and may have to satisfy widely divergent criteria. Some economics analysts predict big changes in crypto when institutional money will enter the crypto market. However, there is a very fine possibility that crypto will be floated on the NASDAQ, which would further add credibility to blockchain and its uses as an alternative to conventional currencies.s •

Human Augmentations 

 o Human augmentations are a technique that is basically aiming towards enhancement of human ability using either medicine or technology, basically focusing on physical and cognitive improvement as an integral part of human body.  Let us make You understand this by an example – Limb Prosthetics, it is created using active control system that will outrun the highest possible performance by natural human parts.

From Concept to Reality: The Impact of 3D Printing on Today's Manufacturing Design

In the realm of manufacturing design, the journey from concept to reality has been significantly transformed by the advent of 3D printing. This technology, also known as additive manufacturing, has revolutionized traditional manufacturing processes, offering new possibilities for creativity, efficiency, and precision. Here’s how 3D printing is reshaping the path from initial design ideas to finished products.

Turning Ideas into Prototypes with Unprecedented Speed

Traditionally, moving from a design concept to a physical prototype involved several steps, including creating molds, tooling, and extensive manual labor. This process was often time-consuming and costly, particularly when multiple iterations were required. 3D printing has streamlined this journey by allowing designers to quickly produce prototypes directly from digital models.

With 3D printing, prototypes can be created within hours or days, rather than weeks. This rapid turnaround enables designers to test and refine their ideas more efficiently, facilitating faster iteration and innovation. The ability to visualize and interact with a tangible model before committing to mass production helps identify potential issues and make improvements early in the development process.

Enhancing Customization and Personalization

One of the standout features of 3D printing is its ability to produce highly customized and personalized products. Unlike traditional manufacturing design, which often relies on standardized molds and processes, 3D printing can accommodate unique specifications and bespoke designs with minimal additional cost.

This capability is particularly beneficial in sectors such as healthcare, where personalized prosthetics, implants, and orthodontic devices can be tailored to individual patients' needs. In consumer products, customization options—from personalized phone cases to custom-fit sports equipment—enhance user satisfaction and drive engagement.

Enabling Complex Designs and Lightweight Structures

3D printing offers unparalleled freedom in design, enabling the creation of complex geometries and intricate details that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. This includes lattice structures, organic shapes, and integrated components.

In industries such as aerospace and automotive, where weight reduction is critical for performance and efficiency, 3D printing allows for the production of lightweight, strong parts. These advanced designs not only contribute to improved functionality but also reduce material usage and waste.

Reducing Waste and Improving Sustainability

Traditional manufacturing often involves substantial material waste, as excess material is trimmed away or discarded. In contrast, 3D printing is an additive process, meaning that material is added only where needed. This efficiency not only minimizes waste but also contributes to more sustainable manufacturing practices.

Moreover, 3D printing supports the use of recycled and eco-friendly materials. Advances in material science are continually expanding the range of substances that can be used in 3D printing, including biodegradable polymers and recycled plastics. This focus on sustainability aligns with broader industry trends toward greener manufacturing.

Streamlining Production and Supply Chains

The impact of 3D printing extends beyond design and prototyping to production and supply chain management. For low-volume and on-demand production, 3D printing eliminates the need for expensive molds and tooling, making it a cost-effective solution for small-batch manufacturing.

Additionally, 3D printing enables localized production, reducing the need for complex supply chains and long-distance transportation. This capability is particularly advantageous in addressing supply chain disruptions and meeting the growing demand for quick turnaround times in various industries.

Challenges and Future Directions

While 3D printing offers numerous benefits, it also presents challenges that must be addressed. These include limitations in material properties, print speed, and surface finish quality. Additionally, integrating 3D printing into existing manufacturing workflows requires careful consideration of cost and scalability.

Looking ahead, ongoing advancements in 3D printing technology promise to overcome these challenges. Innovations such as multi-material printing, improved print speeds, and enhanced software for design and simulation are expected to expand the capabilities of additive manufacturing. As the technology continues to evolve, its role in transforming manufacturing design will become even more significant.

Conclusion

The journey from concept to reality has been profoundly transformed by 3D printing, offering unprecedented speed, flexibility, and customization in manufacturing design. By enabling rapid prototyping, complex designs, and efficient production, 3D printing is reshaping how products are developed and produced. As technology advances, the impact of 3D printing on manufacturing design will only grow, driving innovation and efficiency in the industry and unlocking new possibilities for the future.

DO NOT REBLOG!

TIMELINE:  post endgame divergent/blog canon DEFAULT STATUS: yes. unless pre-endgame. then resort to canon unless AU or plotted otherwise with partners for headcanon/plot purposes! In this timeline, all canon MCU events are taken into Tony’s history. Except how things ended with Endgame. credit and special shout outs at bottom of post! WARNING: loss of limb / amputation, suicidal thoughts, mental disorders

DIVERGENCE:

They say your life flashes before your eyes before you die.

What if it doesn’t? Or you only get a blip or two? Does that mean–YOU MADE IT?

As the energy ripped through Tony’s body, doing damage with each passing second? There was only a moment of hesitation as the pain tore across each limb, muscle, nerve. Only a split second where he made the decision. this is it. Through tears of pain and acceptance of whatever fate might be handed to him. No time to think. No time to pause. No time for goodbyes or to meet anyone’s eyes other than his.

SNAP!

And his world went brilliantly white before pitch black before his hand fell to the ground. Surely he was on fire, he thought. Burning up from the inside out. He could smell his skin. Sweat and muck. Blood and burning. Moving? No, not really. The last thing he wanted to do was move. Voices. They were all rushing towards him and he saw a set of blue, round eyes swinging in way too close. His lips wobbled. Was he going to cry, laugh or scream? Wasn’t until he felt a pair of strong arms lifting him up? He found out it was the latter.

Steve Rogers carried him off the battlefield that day through a portal hastily crafted by a disbelieving of his own eyes Strange. Wakanda received Tony without question. Steve Rogers didn’t leave his side as he was lead back from the brink by the hands of those who fought beside him in their final hour. Some returned from ash and dust from sacrifice, hope, and a whole lot of faith and a prayer they were right and didn’t lose anyone in vain.

Tony spent months in Wakanda. Having lost his arm, too much damage for even their skill to bring back, and suffered nerve and muscle damage that is permanent–physiotherapy was a long and tedious route for the rest. For someone who was so used to never asking for help until it was practically too late? Admitting he needed it was the hardest step he took.

Delving into work, once his body was healed enough to try, helped drag him away from the very edge. His arm has been replaced. Assisted in it’s conception and fabrication by Shuri, the arm is an extension of a new suit. One that is permanently part of his body.

CURRENT:

Tony hasn’t fully come back from that day mentally. Throughout his timeline the degrees of that vary from person to person and timeline to timeline. Physically? He is mended for the most part. Improving bit by bit but there are some parts of the damage that will be permanent. Aches and pains in his shoulder, back and neck. Anxiety, PTSD as well as headaches that can cause vertigo are something he treats with medications when needed.

FAMILY: 

He has yet to go home. Working through the issues he has as well as his mental state? His love for his family is too great to let them see him in the shape he can be when the worst of it gets to him. He has visited Morgan and Pepper. Mostly at the cabin or one of the safe houses. However, the first time he saw fear in his daughter's eyes when she looked at him? He began to pull away, not wanting to ever see that again. She's slowly gotten used to his condition but his fear of putting them through any more pain will, inevitably, lead to a separation between him and Pepper. Both for Morgan's benefit and the fact that Tony wants the best for his family. Even if he can't be part of that. Especially mentally.

His plotlines can veer off here depending on partner and plotting. As far as default? He can be mostly found in New Asgard or in one of his safe houses where his workshop is located that he’s kept off the grid. There are trips to Wakanda as research into his existing conditions is brought to his attention. Tony keeps in contact with loved ones but it is on good days and for their peace of mind. Steve, Thor and others show up from time to time to keep him taking care of himself. He was reluctant to let even them in at first. Though he’s become more easy with it considering they were the ones near him at his ‘worst’. Other than those working to get him better, they are the ones he doesn’t feel the need to protect from him. Especially those he lost during the Snap. In his opinion? They’ve been through enough already.

PERMANENT CHANGES:

* missing right arm. replaced by suit/permanent prosthetic. details in a new post soon! * light scarring around his shoulder and spine. * very faint white markings that run along the side of his throat and temple. * major muscle damage in shoulder, light muscle damage in neck area. both are being treated with physiotherapy to alleviate the symptoms. some damage is permanent. research is being done further improve his condition. he willfully submits to being his own test subject in order to see what works and what doesn’t. * body aches, pains, headaches with occasional vertigo (severity comes and goes via therapy and if he overuses his muscles while working or not) * ptsd // anxiety // major depressive disorder // suicidal thoughts – triggers have become more apparent. he can be sporadic with his medication usage. though he’s getting better at taking it. his mdd can manifest in withdraw from those around him, restlessness, lack of (or too much) sleep and drop in appetite, becoming obsessed with work and nothing but work, as well as random other symptoms. usually manifesting changes depending on current situation. he'd never admit to any suicidal thoughts that he has had. mostly in the beginning when he felt like a burden to those caring for him. or when he saw his daughter afraid of him. they still come and go on his worst days, though they happen less and less. * MORE TO ADD LATER!
