[brainrot-goes-brrrrrr]

New headcanon that after Tyler died that his body/muscles in the real world become very stiff, or more prone to getting stiff, due to his body in the phantom dimension entering the earlier stages of rigor mortis. Like I know he died and got better, but like... the potential...

From what I can find, rigor mortis sets in about 2 hours after the body dies, and it is said in chapter 50 that the gang had been searching for Tyler for hours. All I'm saying is that I think it would be a very interesting thing to weave into his character.

Since Tyler is portrayed as what I like to call the more athletic type of the bunch, seeing him being physically challenged by, let's just say, limited mobility due to muscle stiffness would be interesting. More so in the way he would react to being more limited in physical activity and how he would be able to adapt, especially since they are on the run now.

I would also want to see the group slowly realizing that Tyler is always in some form of pain, whether it is noticing how often Tyler says his lower back aching, or seeing how his posture has deteriorated due to his shoulders killing him.

Imagine how Ashlyn would react to this, her friend always being in some sort of discomfort due to herself. Despite the fact that Tyler has reassured several times the accident wasn't her fault, she can't help but feel that it is. And it's killing her.
