After Angband, Maedhros had a complicated relationship with his hair for a long while. The thing he once used to cherish and carry with pride, inherited from the mother he had left behind, was now tainted with memories of unwanted attention and derogatory touch.

After his rescue, it had to be cut short for the sake of his recovery, and he could never quite figure out whether he was more hurt or relieved by the act. It was Fingon, during those times filled with anxiety and doubt and shame, who helped him learn to accept his own appearance again– from the stump of his right arm and the scars littered across his freckled body to the locks of copper hair, ever so slowly regrowing to their former glory.

And little by little, the lingering memories of malevolent hands harshly yanking at his scalp were replaced by the feeling of tender hands carefully braiding familiar golden ribbons into his hair, once again beloved.

havin thoughts.

au where grunkle stan has a prosthetic leg, he lost it in his 20s and has been using a range of (usually very bad and/or possibly stolen) prosthetics, and he never changes to better ones until the old one breaks beyond repair.

especially after taking over the mystery shack, because Stanford never lost a leg on record, so it'd be weird if Suddenly he had a decade old amputation randomly.

when the twins visit for the summer, they only find out after arriving. the Mr. Mystery persona hides his leg, after all, and sure, he walks around with the 8ball cane, but that's just for the persona, right?

wrong. Stan needs a cane, but only uses the 8ball one (it's not very good for him), and his leg is Old. it's like bordering on ten years old, and the foot is all worn out, plus the knee joint stops working randomly. so. he needs a new one.

Mabel and Dipper devise a plan. at first, their plan is to "fix" Stan's leg. regrow it or whatever. they end up almost doing some kind of witch deal, but it doesn't work out (and also they almost get eaten or smth)

stan explains to them that he's not looking to Regrow his leg. he's spent longer Without it then he ever did With it. he's spent like almost forty years with only one leg, he's used to it. they don't need to worry about him. and he ruffles their hair.

but Mabel and Dipper manage to convince him to at least get a new prosthetic and cane. ones that are actually good for him. Stan doesn't want to go to the doctor, but they find a way. probably mcgucket, he happily cobbles together a leg and cane. it might have lasers and Such in it, but he removes them when asked.

it's not perfect, but it's Leagues better than what stan had before, and the twins decorate it for him. stickers, some glitter. yknow.

very sweet I think. also this would slightly change Stan's usual outfit of his white tank top and his boxers, because he is hiding his leg from Gravity Falls, or at least trying to. the entire town probably knows already and just don't comment on it (it'd be rude if they did) he probably wears sweatpants or something.

also Ford Doesn't Know stan only has one leg. he's in for a shock. he's still mad about a lot of things, but like. cmon stan. that leg, while better than the others, isn't good. it's made of scrap metal stan. probably tries to get him an actual proper medical prosthetic. from a certified place. ford's gonna be short with him and grumpy but he's not gonna let stan screw himself over like this. also that hearing aid is just as bad. go to the doctor Stanley.

Hey! I've been following for a while and really appreciate the advice. Do you have any ways to describe someone with a prostecic? I'm struggling to figure out a way to explain my main character's arm that doesn't seem so generic. Thanks so much!

How to Write a Character with a Prosthetic

I don't have any knowledge or experience with prosthetics, so I'm not the best person to ask, but I can direct you to a few people and sources who are:

-> @ancwritingresources has an excellent post with multiple resources about this that can be found Here.

-> @cripplecharacters also has numerous posts regarding prosthetics that they navigate with the tag #prosthetics. A link to those posts Here. I also believe that they are accepting asks, just be specific with your question.

-> @cy-cyborg has posts about this subject as well, Here is a link to their navigation page.

If anyone has other resources/posts/information feel free to share them in the comments/reblog.

EDIT: Hey so I just realized I drew Medic in a hospital wheelchair for some reason? Instead of a manual one?? Maybe it's because in my reference pic it was a hospital wheelchair, but I swear I remember thinking about changing it to a manual one? I guess I was just being a dumbass and forgot lmao, sorry y'all

Oh my GOD I've fallen down the rabbit hole of your glorious skywalkers apart AU and quite apart from being ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED, I have to know if my boy Cal is around in it?!

yes but i never really developed it!! ok we all know i'm never gonna finish that comic script i'll just tell u guys -- in said script, after leia and anakin free Padme, they find out Luke was taken somewhere else which, after a family recon mission, they find is FORTRESS GODDAMN INQUISITORIUS! (which they assume is bc luke tried to use the force to stop the initial arrest, big mistake huge)

anyway all this to say cal's involvement was a tiny-mentioned cameo to explain why anakin knew how to infiltrate nur (the exact line i wrote in the never-finished-script was "we met this jedi survivor a few years back" + comments abt said survivor inflitrating nur 10 years ago yes it was that unsubtle) -- the idea was they had run into one another on a short mission in the past and then gone their separate ways!

@animate-mush @bluecatwriter well per our discussions in Bluecats’ fic I had to draw Actually Alive just Missing a Hand and Screwed-Up Vocal Cords Jack with his family xD

(Also @lxgentlefolkcomic ‘s design for Jack is my default for him now, xD please go check the comic out!)

Arthur is 100% the voice of reason between Lu’s youthful determination and Jack’s lingering willingness to try anything once For Science

On a more somber note though, I have been wondering just what Quincey will think when this finally happens…

Reading how his parents were before ��Father” came into their lives, the excitement in Papa going off on his first job, the humor and empathy and just Life in his Mama’s letters. Their hopes and dreams and fears, the Love which he’s always seen, but it’s so much More then he ever thought…

Ohh I think I have brain juice coming out my eeeyes

[staycalmandhugaclone]

It is very late (well... very early, but it's the same flavor of tired), and I just had the thought that I'd like to see a scene where post s3 Crosshair meets up with Anakin (au never turned Vader), and they bs about losing their hands, and it's the best thing that's ever come from getting his hand choppied.

God, I love this gif... adorable little showoff
