#goddd displacers as a concept they drive me bonkers they can take themselves to pieces for a cause...theyre EXPECTED to...they HAVE to...

[zannolin]

the fact that we don't canonically have much information about grafting makes me a little unhinged btw. like i imagine that it's a delicate process which requires a lot of training and skill and focus (which is cool in its own right, honestly). i imagine it's something a displacer must choose to do consciously, to share a body part with someone else and manipulate the displacement field that way—

but what if it wasn't? what if the limb craves a body? what if the piece yearns to be part of a whole again? what if all it takes is a touch for the ear or the eye or the arm or anything else to remember what it means to be whole and to latch on?

something about displacement fields allowing separation but still holding the body together. something about you can only become so many pieces before that's all you'll be. something about how you can take yourself apart, but your body itself is asking you not to. you know.
