#trapped coyote chews off leg

[valcanous]

amputation is one of my biggest triggers bc of a movie i had to watch in 5th grade where a guy got his feet cut off and i will flat out refuse to watch some media bc if i know it features amp and the last time i made myself watch an amp scene (bbc war and peace) i genuinely could not eat for the rest of the day and was queasy still the next but all that said

they actually better cut off sam’s arm next week. for thematic appropriateness.

am waiting for amputation to show up however.

it'd be great if i could do something other than dissociate or cry these last few days but yknow. lol.

What are some ships or concepts you wished more people in the Inscryption fandom would explore?

I'm honestly not a big ship guy unless it's either really compelling or really funny. But as for concepts, I really wish people would just get a little weirder with stuff. I know that's a vast generalization—Inscryption as a game is already weird as hell by merit of existing—but I want to see more headcanons/writing quirks that are like "Leshy has parts of every animal, not just cervids—so he has leg spurs like a cricket and gets pin feathers in his fur like a bird" or "Video game logic applies ever so slightly in that characters can learn to reach into the code and pull out the assets allotted to them from hammerspace" or just... whatever the hell is going on with Magnificus in general. I love it when the universe the characters are in is already So Damn Weird that anything goes/the quirks of the world itself impacts those living in it and they hardly even notice because that's just Everyday Life.

Also just generally blue and orange morality stuff. Too much "the Scrybes are evil in a way that can be easily understood" and not enough "the Scrybes aren't evil in a clear-cut way but obviously SOMETHING is wrong here in a way that is So Much Worse than I originally preconceived." Fun stuff

I have no mouth yet I must scream

Screaming internally hoping and praying everything goes right and I can just leave the house, move out, and never come back.

FOUR TO SIX TIMES A DAY EVERY DAY 8 TO 12 HOURS GENTLEMEN THIS IS A FUCKING PSYOP

Good mary mother of christ I fucking hate "The Joker & The Queen" top 40 Ed Sheehan and Taylor Swift collab single, the first time I heard it I thought 'OK neat some fresh funeral music, was really getting tired of Sarah Mclaughlin's In The Arms of the Angels, this is a nice change of pace" but noooooooooo now my location plays it minimum six times a shift and I have to hear it 30 times a week over and over again like I'm trapped in a Groundhog Day-esque water torture time loop that takes place at Harley Quinn's Suicide Squad-Era Wake that she herself preemptively picked the music for on a Spotify Playlist made after a melancholy 3am post- Domestic Disturbance ice cream binge

I'm out of all my favorite podcasts cuz not only is it the holidays but Cody Johnston has fucking covid, and yknow fair enough that he needs to take the time off cuz of that plz get well soon, but also I do increasingly feel like a coyote contemplating chewing off its own leg to get out of the trap when I don't have shit to listen to while I'm in the office

Does it weigh heavy on you?

Dove pops the door open, allowing them to get some extra room to disentangle. She wasn't ready to lose Claire's touch, but this was casual. Clinging wasn't part of the deal, no matter how empty her ribcage felt.

Her metal hand scrubs down her face as Claire maneuvers under her leg and snatches the discarded tank from the dashboard. Fuck. She retrieves her bottoms where they were flung and ties them under her chaps. Standing on shaking legs, she pulls the briefs into place on her hips.

“Come see you for advice on my ride and end up being ridden. Seems to happen a lot these days.” Dove's hands pat her sides to find her cigarette case and lighter.

“Somethin’ about you watchin’ my hands root around under the hood, I guess.” Claire looks smug.

After a few flicks at the tiny wheel on the lighter, the sudden flame touches the fresh cig between her lips allowing her to take a deep breath. The flash memory of their previous encounter has Dove pausing, “Yaknow, I'm real glad you ended up not killin’ Samson. If anyone was worth the revenge, it sounded like Dean would be,” She flicks the growing ash from her cigarette, “but I know that would weigh heavily on you.”

Claire was silent as she cracks open a bottle of beer. It took a few minutes of the silence growing louder for her to respond, “You ever kill anyone?”

“Yeah.”

“What for?”

“He took something from me.” Dove's voice was small. Tight. “You know about the coyotes who chew their own limb off to get outta a hunter’s trap? It was his leg or mine. And he already took mine," She holds up her cyberarm limply, "Just took me years of gnawin’ to get loose.” The chocolate flavored tobacco wasn't calming her like it usually did, but it squashed easy under her boot on the concrete garage floor all the same.

“Does it weigh heavy on you?” Claire's bottle clinks against her belt where it rests.

“Nope.” Her eyes well with years of unshed tears. “Why would it?” Her organic hand swipes furiously at her face, not wanting to feel the drops sliding down her cheeks. When she could no longer keep up with them she presses the heels of her palms into her optics.

“I don't know, doll, just seems like it does.” She takes another swig, with a look of pain on her face unseen to Dove, “You were right though. Taking Samson wouldn't give me back Dean. What did your corpse give you?”

“My ability to run.”

like if i think too hard about how that goddamn totem pole effectively spells out the stan twin twist from the first moment we see it i'll start chewing my leg off like a coyote in a bear trap what the FUCK!!!

Excerpt:

Kevin was furious again, and despite his confident words, scared of what could possibly happen to Neil. Even if he came back to them, it didn’t mean he’d be in one piece. Neil was like a coyote in a trap; he’d chew off his own leg to stay alive. The thought made Kevin shake and there was hardly anything he wanted more than a drink. “You’re sitting here acting like he’s already dead.”

Andrew pushed to his feet at the same time Kevin did. Nicky tried to get between them, but Aaron pulled him away.

“I made a promise to you,” Kevin said. “Even if I’ve already kept my end of the bargain, I’m ensuring it stays that way.”

I feel like a coyote caught in a cage, trying to chew my leg off for no reason other than I'm angry for being trapped, while my skin is slowly peeling back from my lips and teeth and eyes. The pain is howling louder than I ever could, and the loneliness even louder still.

I'm sorry I snarled and snapped. I'm afraid. Don't leave me alone. Don't leave me. Please don't leave.

Im like if the coyote who chewed its leg off to get out of the trap was also the trap

musings on some of my favourite characters and the "coyote chewing his leg off" thing

• B.A. Baracus, no –even if he's the one who got the line about it, I think he's got enough self preservation. Or at least he would wait a very long time and he would have to be 2000% sure there was no other option. • Javert YES, he would bite it off as long as he's sure he can succeed if he does so

• Izzy Hands absolutely, he'd even chew it off if he wasn't sure of the outcome. tbh he would possibly chew it off even if he was not trapped

• Basically every innie in Severance. Just, yes (sadly).

• Greystorm would BUT he's too delusional he can save himself withouth chewing it to do it before he dies.

• Data. He oddly makes the list, in a The Most Toys (3x22) situation he'd chew it off even if he knew he couldn't get it back. (Because ya know, getting rid of a piece is kind of easier if you're an android, this mental excercise is quantifying how feral they would go)

• Rorschach, yes. There's not even to question it.

• Rumple yes, that is just canon to me.

might add more as they come to me, but that's nice :)

It's like a coyote trapped in a bear trap, but the coyote is not trapped. it can chew its own leg off. that's the best course of action. but it doesn't have too. It could sit and wait to die and because the thought is so painful it waits. Not to die but to something. The others see but do not see so they don't know to help. Even if they did the coyote denies. Everything is fine. It wishes to help the coyote but does not see the bear trap. Even if it could help it is as confusing and unreliable as the coyote's self. But the coyote still listens because it is trapped. What else is there to do? Then with enough, it hides itself away in shame. With words not of its own and words from its head it should be free. Then it still finds the coyote and continues that flow of words drooling from its mouth. The coyote still listens because what else is there to do.

i NEED to chew my tits off like a trapped coyote chewing off it's leg to free itself before the hunters come

Ben begins fidgeting, shifting his weight from toe to toe, bouncing in place ever so subtly, and the antsy-ness sets in. "Oh. Okay." His eyes roam up to the ceiling of the elevator. Aren't there usually trap doors on them? There are in the movies. "They said soon, though. So... soon is how long." Whatever soon may me, he hopes not more than ten or so minutes.

They should call the fire department.

"I'm not claustrophobic, but I don't like feeling trapped and the quiet feels more suffocating." Ben already goes against Layla's wishes as after he's dug through his pockets, he is hit with the realization that his headphones are in the car. He can only sigh, mumbling to himself, "I know why coyote's chew their own legs off when they're in a trap."

@ponderosus

layla glances up at the elevator around her, the cold metal leading down to the warn treaded carpet on the floor. she should probably be more panicked at this point, this shit was something straight out of a final destination film. but they were on the ground level, the worst thing that could happen was she stuck in an elevator with a man she despised more than most for an hour or so... actually, the more she thought about it, she's not sure what's a worser fate.

layla doesn't respond to ben, rather stepping forward to press the emergency button on the elevator, waiting for the sound of a voice. after a few moments of silence, the crackly voice tells them to remain calm, that the doors should be opened soon. soon? she wanted more assurance she didn't have to spend more time than needed around ben.

leaning back against the elevator wall, the bartender takes a deep breath, closing her eye's gently. "i don't know how long we have to wait till they fix this... but i'd rather not talk. okay?" probably a hard ask for someone like ben...
