THANK YOUU I have so been messing w the eye height

(Also. NOT NOW. NOT DURING THE SPOONS SHORTAGE. Still creating an apartment that works for us without inducing a routine spoons shortage!!)

YES

Yeah he says it as a car pun in his head. Hard to say whether it makes him feel better but it does make him laugh

Post hero killer arc Tensei allowing himself a somewhat broader spectrum of difficult selfish emotions for the first time in some decades: Wow what if I was given a new, custom made reason to feel like I have to hit the brakes on that again

For anyone particularly curious abt the visual, the fingers curl inward, but the palm inclines backward at the wrist; google Klumpke's palsy. I need to get better at drawing him so I can ever use this hc beyond small mentions in writing

Like. Yeah, surely what Tensei needed right now was to feel like a hypocrite. Or at least to have any real resentment he might've ever allowed himself to feel immediately transmuted into "but I understand it"

Anyway. POV you're Tensei Iida and you've got to deal with having feelings about a visible change in your little brother at the same time as you would so, so fucking love to escape him having feelings every time he looks at you

I always think abt how good it would've been for Tenya's disability to be visibly present because 1) that's how Klumpke's palsy works irl usually and 2) it would change his iconic stiff straight hand gestures, something that has immediate visual significance to everyone who knows him

Getting into a Vigs server has immediately placed me back inside Tensei Iida's head, hence thinking about this again

Tensei can only look at it as a physical sign of 'thing I didn't protect my brother from' (after all. if only he'd won...) but that's exactly how he wishes his parents would stop looking at him and it makes him feel recursive way over-analyzes emotions that are consequently never allowed

This is literally what 2 days of being in a Vigilantes discord server did to me
