aughhh thinking way to much into detail on how ran's arm works..
#or more what type of amputation he has#bc his prosthetic goes all the way to his shoulder. but im not sure if theres part of his upper arm remaining or if its all the way up#bc those would b two very different prosthetics mechanically#upper arm prosthetic would only have one joint to worry abt moving#that one could attach to the upper arm and it could be anchored well as long as its relatively lightweight#in that scenario the gem and metal across his shoulder are anchoring for the prosthetic and his shoulder is just underneath there#but if its total shoulder disarticulation? thats a little more complex#he'd need something else to anchor the prosthetic and so he'd likely have straps across his chest or more structure down his side#and the mechanics would get much more complex bc he would need joint movement in both the elbow and shoulder in that case#(also in both cases hed have to make a hand which is complex as hell but im focusing on the upper joints for now)#but making a shoulder prosthetic would b difficult just bc it would have to b able to move all of the weight of the prosthetic mechanically#whereas if he has part of his upper arm that is what would b moving the prosthetic#but i simply do not know which it is ajvsvjsjcjvs so i may chose one to hc it as bc this is going to drive me up the walls#its such a small detajl but my brain has decided to latch onto it#wanna know why? bc im Still writing that one fic ive had in the works since september and he isnt wearing his prosthetjc for most of it#so now even though it has no bearing on the section im writing i want to figure it out bc it is important to me#dumbass thots#knifetrick tag
