some brief advice for characters with small scars from a head injury (from my specific experience) since i do see people give these types of scars to characters sometimes
mine is like this for reference:
specific info:
i didn't receive in-hospital treatment for it even though i lost consciousness
i was kicked by a horse, the metal horseshoe is what did it
it was a long time ago (over a decade now)
it doesn't effect me much day to day, it is always visible but it has become less prominent over time. certain expressions (anything eyebrow raising especially) make it very obvious.
it is physically raised and lacks pigment.
sensation wise, it used to itch but i haven't felt that for awhile now. if i pay attention when touching it, there's a slight difference in temperature from the rest of my skin. if i scrape it (even just lightly, like scratching with a fingernail) it feels like its bleeding even when its not.
if i accidentally hit it (i dont like doorways), it is extremely painful, it burns, my vision flashes white and i see stars, and it feels like its bleeding all over again of course. it feels like the irl equivalent of being stunned by an electric arrow. if your character has a scar like this, having them get hit on it in a fight is a good way to make them go down for a bit. the sensation also lingers for a decent amount of time afterwards, depending on how hard the hit was. the lingering feels like a heavy pulsing/throbbing, similar to a strong headache but localized on the scar. personally, it feels like even minor impacts can have a really strong effect still as long as its a pretty direct hit.
so yeah just my personal experience having a scar like this! i like seeing characters with similar scars but it often feels like it was just a cosmetic choice to show that they're tough. it's not something that is super high-impact for me, but it still has its effects, and when you aggravate them you can't really focus on anything else until it goes away.

Week 2 | Vacation!
We decided to send the group to private cabin for a three-day intermission
Giving them time to build up those romance bar before the final
And boi-o-boi, did they take it faaaar left
What starts out as wholesome with happy smiles
Turned quickly into a massive o**y fest
Kierra wanted a sneaky link up w/ Richie until...
Andrea and her stylish hat enter the chat....and as you can see they weren't pleased either
2:07 pm, Lotus wanted her own lil rendezvous w/ Adam
It was blissed....until there was change in the wind
4:07 pm not skipping a beat, Thalia dontgiveaf*ckakus prime in true bust thru the door
Note to host: lock or block the doors!
I guess Kierra and Lotus can say goodbye to their alone times
Seems like Kierra grew a voyeur kink
And thought three was a crowd
Running back a second round, however, our dear Lotus was vivid
But she wasn't alone but that didn't stop her or Thalia from watching the show
Everyone was having an emotional meltdown
After what said and done, the rest of the night was chill

Do you mind if I share some speculations on our favorite bug man?
I think you're right in that Howdy has caught onto something being off about their world. But he can't just jump up and tell everyone that they are living in a simulation. So he has to watch and wait for everyone else to realize it in their own time.
But
In his heart, he is a lovable asshole. And an asshole he will be!
Sally got close to figuring out that the food are props, but it hasn't clicked yet. Until then, the lable on the "mashed potatoes" is just a marketing ploy.
And sure, Howdy knows the blowing balls are made of foam, but Eddie doesn't know that! So Howdy sends him off, watching him struggle to carry something that weighs next to nothing.
Maybe if they interact with enough props, they'll catch on, too? In the meantime, Howdy is gonna have fun messing with everyone.
ohhhh i Do like this interpretation! where he's actually trying to clue them in, not just going "well. this might as well happen". and doing it his own... uh... Special way....
