As I called my orthotist this week to reschedule my appointment for adjustments on my new(ish) prosthetic leg for the second time this week, I got to thinking about @lemonbronze鈥檚 missing limb Seteth.
Some thoughts and experiences I have had that I have projected onto Seteth under the cut.
Seteth waking up in a panic and swinging his legs over the bed and standing, just to fall back onto the it when there鈥檚 nothing to catch his balance.
Phantom limb pain, being sent back to how his injury came to be.
The soreness of the stump, the jagged scars. Not moving for days and the swelling.
Because of the swelling, the prosthetic not fitting.
Having to travel to get adjustments, not getting any changes made for decades for fear of his daughter asleep and being alone. Broken artificial limbs staring at him, useless and awkward. Being unable to function, and having to figure out ways to survive with only one leg.
Centuries of this until he was invited to the monastery. Quietly confessing worries, and Rhea bringing in the best prosthetist.
People will be like "ugh it's fire emblem guy 19473847" and I'm like foaming at the mouth, nails biting into my skin bc NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THAT IS THE GUY THAT SENT ME INTO A YEARS LONG OBSESSIVE SPIRAL and I wanna explain to them the Multitudes my little guy contains but also I can't be a freak
I played one of those pc sherlock games recently and during loading screens, he's always reading that book and I am just incapable of not looking for setleth in everything ever lol
