The space program took a whole month off of development after Tektite's accident, so that Slate could have the time to perfect their leg. They'd already been working on articulated flaps for in-atmosphere steering for Feldspar's ship - conserves fuel to not use jets for that - and hey, an artificial ankle is just another type of flap to articulate, right?

Gossan wasn't so sure - especially with Slate's full-tilt approach to experimental engineering, at odds with Tektite's trepidation - but all of the founders agreed that the program could wait until their neighbour was back on their feet. And to Slate's credit, Gossan had never seen them show as much sheer methodical focus, before or since. This was somebody's limb here, after all: their ability to move of their own accord, their ability to get out and about in the community and do the things they love, their ability to still feel like their body is their own. Slate was hardly about to phone it in, or risk any wild experiments when it came to Tektite's comfort and requirements.

It took several iterations, and several difficult test walks around the town square gripping Slate's arm, but together the pair of them worked out a final model that's been serving Tektite well to this day.

(...Of course, the dedication and focus that so pleasantly surprised Gossan only made Slate's awkward avoidance of them after their own accident sting even more. Was it really that hard on their poor guilty conscience, to think about doing something similar for a friend, instead of darting their gaze away just short of Gossan's face?)

What if we sat by the pond to feed the fish...

... and we were both bivalves?

Thought I joined the fandom a little late, it's wild to me that there seemed to be a consensus for a lot of early steddies that it was nice to have a (queer) Steve ship that wasn't with someone who he had a really bad history with, no real drama, etc but now popular fanon is that Steve either straight up bullied Eddie or is complicit in him getting bullied like... I thought we liked the ship BECAUSE it didn't have the messiness of say St*nathan

my car lost a wheel cover last week so i ordered a new one and stressed all week about picking it up and putting it on and then i turned on my car this morning to go get the cover and now the tire pressure light is on. and you know how it just takes one small thing to break you when you're already fragile?

that fucking light breaks me every time.

i got a new clock awhile back and it just came in the other day and it makes a different bird sound every hour on the hour and its so lovely to hear but apparently the ambient light from the window from the slits when its closed is light enough to trigger it on in the early mornings

Spending $700 (that i dont have) to get my brakes fixed, before noon, is a pretty shitty way to spend my day. Only a dozen more things to fix on this shitbox of a car...

If you hear sobbing in the distance, thats me
