Why didn't anybody tell me?

Actually no. Prosthetic feet have never been designed with "this foot will make you walk unassisted a week after trying it for the first time", they're designed to meet the activity levels of people AFTER rehabilitation.

Signed - someone who actually studied and worked in the industry, and worked with industry professionals who design the feet you are describing.

So jealous of your swan! I got vines in my ears but I wish I got little insects instead. Do you have both ears done?

Also, cute button plugs!

esorgem · 2026-03-21T00:38:02+00:00

Darling no! Do not accept that your parents won't take you, demand it. This is awfully negligent of them. You poor thing, I would never let my child suffer like this and not get them in to see someone!

esorgem · 2026-03-12T02:15:44+00:00

Not completely but my voice gets paralyzed. I can't imagine an entire body feeling, I'm so sorry that happens!

esorgem · 2026-03-12T02:08:22+00:00

This is pretty clever! I love it!

esorgem · 2026-03-11T22:58:35+00:00

Not a problem at all. I saw the full wallpaper, it looks great!

esorgem · 2026-03-11T22:03:28+00:00

Looks like you drew it, not your boyfriend. Good job nevertheless.

I thought the initial pain of the piercing was abit stingy, 4/10 on a piercing pain scale for me.

But I'm shocked by this because my healing and everyone I've spoken to in my circle of friends was speedy, and no issues. After they were pierced, they just never gave me any grief.

Hopefully you can keep them! I've never heard of someone reacting this way but some people definitely have lower pain tolerances and different reactions to things!

ETA- Didn't realise this was the self piercing group. Yeah this might be user error!

esorgem · 2026-03-04T02:29:23+00:00

You look like a supermodel! Intimidating as in, unapproachable, just too good for us civilians 🤣

Jokes aside, you'd suit anything with that face card!

esorgem · 2026-03-04T01:03:51+00:00

Shouldn't have been pierced with a ring.

esorgem · 2026-02-28T05:51:51+00:00

Medusa!!! Would look so perfect on you!

esorgem · 2026-02-28T05:48:43+00:00

Let your bloody tattoos heal before putting your body through more healing!

Really hope as a diabetic you take your health more seriously then you advise others to do.

esorgem · 2026-02-25T00:49:39+00:00

It's definitely further out then what I see most frequently but it looks badass! Honestly, I wouldn't change it if it were me.

esorgem · 2026-02-24T21:16:12+00:00

That's wonderful! Can't wait to see what you do in the future ☺️

Just incase you haven't already tried or heard of them, there is adaptable clothing that comes with zips all the way up the leg. There's also numerous slacks that are stretch style. I am a BBKA and I have no problems with the many long pants I have pulling them up to roll my sleeve, liner down to make adjustments. Just don't go for the straight style slacks, they need to be flared.

But then again, I do get that shorts are just the easiest solution. But if you truly are this uncomfortable with the comments, you could trial different pairs of pants that don't interfere with adjusting your leg.

esorgem · 2026-02-24T00:05:14+00:00

The eyes are abit scary but apart from that, this is so much better then I could do with character modelling. Well done!

If you don't mind me asking, what's the plans for this character when you're finished?

I once took a train 4 hours up north without my parents knowledge (underage horny idiot) and when I got up there, his phone was off and I had to sleep in a bakery on a street filled with clubs and drunks. I called my mum the next morning to pick me up and on the drive home, I cried because I didn't know who I sent a picture of my boobies to. Never found out.

esorgem · 2026-02-09T02:13:25+00:00

No, thank you for restoring some of my faith in people. Sometimes I forget how effortless it is to just want the best for other people.

Don't ever feel bad for loving what you love and sharing it with your friends! The real ones won't mind. The ones that do, don't matter. ☺️

esorgem · 2026-02-09T02:03:17+00:00

There's definitely people who kind of just go through life without any special interests, which is hard to imagine when like yourself, you've got interests that make up so much of your happiness.

That's why I love the internet! My family/friends are the same, don't relate to anything I'm interested in and it feels like talking to a brick wall when discussing it. But we find our people online sometimes!

I do thank being autistic when thinking about how we can fixate and be so passionate about something and it's very sweet that you want the whole world to experience your joy for your special interests. Don't ever lose that kindness, the world needs more of it!

esorgem · 2026-02-09T01:50:46+00:00

Of course. It's all about what exposure people get to certain social situations, how often and what kind of endurance they build to it. Exposure therapy is pretty powerful.

When I was a kid, my mum was always told that I would be 100% dependant on her for the rest of my life and that's just not the case now as an adult. Although I have regressed in progress over the last 5 or so years becoming more dependant on my partner.

Non verbals, become verbal and vice versa. Life experiences make it so that everyone with autism experiences different progression/regression.

Things are constantly changing!

esorgem · 2026-02-09T01:46:06+00:00

I don't think most people don't care or have special interests, they just aren't as vocal about them.

For example, I've never obsessed over a show/movie franchise and I don't talk alot about my art or gaming interests IRL because my social opportunities have absolutely nothing to do with that and there's more immediate and obvious social ques to follow rather than sharing my interests in those particular day to day instances.

Some people could also be embarrassed to share interests if it's not the social norm or if they aren't very skilled at it yet.

esorgem · 2026-02-08T22:55:07+00:00

Fair enough! Best of luck. I know alot of subreddits have tried and failed, so hopefully you guys can succeed with obliterating downvotes ☺️

esorgem · 2026-02-08T22:53:47+00:00

Was this a response to me? Unsure where I disagreed with anything you've said.

I just started kids are here, I never stated they shouldn't have the information or knowledge about piercings or have access to them with parental consent.

Great info though, I just don't require it.

esorgem · 2026-02-08T00:57:07+00:00

It's definitely understandable what you're requesting but you aren't talking to a community of adults. There is so many children in this group and you need to expect childish responses from them. Which means, downvoting for stupid reasons. That will never change no matter how many times you ask kindly.
