luck4hopeim sure some noted scholars among us know that komaeda... only has one arm
i don't know if you know this about me, but i have both my arms. i would very much like to Keep both my arms.
however. USUALLY it's fine but whenever komaeda's lack of an arm is brought to my attention, it.... tingles. in the exact same fucking spot. the same spot that Would have been where his arm terminates
i plan to get a robot arm tattooed onto it in the future-- it's a tattoo ive wanted for over a decade now; i have an artist picked out and everything. he specializes in palm tattoos so the illusion can be maintained, so to say. though... i'm not sure how to do it, since all his palm tattoos are just lines. i'm not crazy enough to get a FULL PALM BLACKOUT especially on the tips of my fingers.... maybe. but anyway i do have a guy picked out, but between the cost of the tattoo itself and the trip cross-country (LITERALLY, i'm in maryland, he's in socal) that'll be years
so i need to figure something out in the meantime
kuro had the wonderful idea of just snapping a rubber band where the "break" is, to simulate some kind of sensation there, and that's actually working very well!
but i can go harder
so, there's this robot armsock tutorial that i've known about again, for over a decade now, and i thought... why not follow this tutorial, but use gripper tape to make it shorter? i can intentionally make the tape a bit tight to replicate the feeling of the rubber band, and it'll look nice, and i can theoretically make as many as i want, to try out different designs before fully committing to one
i like this one video's depiction of the arm, with a clover on it, but i wanna find some way to modify it so im not walking around with a certain logo on my arm. that's suck lmaoooo
also no i'm not gonna cut a finger off. they made that entire guy up for the purposes of Pointing And Laughing and besides, what the fuck will that do? the rest of the arm is still there. it'd just be performative at that point and i perform for no one
anyway uhhh yeah. arm. might get materials for it today, might not. i might have to hold off and just try not to think about it for a while, lmao
