Scenes I need...

Peter Parker: -on meeting Loki, offers his hand- Hi, I’m Peter!

Loki: -shakes his hand- Loki of Asgard.

Peter: Aren’t you like…a bad guy?

Loki: It varies from moment to moment.

Peter: So like…on a scale of one to ten, ten being the worst evil imaginable, like…killing puppies, and one being I’ll spit on your hotdog…where are you right now?

Loki: …maybe a three?

Peter: Cool. Lemme know if it gets above a six.

Loki: -thinking- I like him.

Video games have helped through a lot. I'm a bit of a dreamer so when the world constantly doesn't match up to my over optimistic expectations,  I can get quite negative and overthink things.

There was a time in my life where I saw a flight of stairs and the thought falling down and breaking my neck didn't faze me. I literally felt nothing, even when I tried. I was numb and the closest reason for not seeing what might happen was the chance I might get in someone's way. My opinion of myself was that apathetic. Video games help me over come this by allowing me to get out of my own head. To escape my own thoughts so I could learn to actually care about living not merely existing because killing myself seemed like it might be inconvenient for others.

I knew it was bad for me to think such a way,  but I couldn't stop the negative thoughts crawling into my head. But thanks to video games and the stories they conveyed. This allow me to stop thinking I'm not good enough, and it stopped me from believing don't deserve the life I have while others suffer.

Video games allow me to stop focusing on all the negatives and see the positives in life. The Persona series also taught me that no one can survive alone, and the reason I felt the way I did was because I bottled everything inside myself until I reached breaking point. I didn't talk to people, because I didn't want to annoyed them, but that was wrong of me to do.

In summary, video games like Fire Emblem, Persona and Dragon Age taught me that some form of friendship is necessary for survival. I might not have friends yet, but I'm actually looking now. So it's quite an improvement.

Sorry for writing so much. I hope this helps.

PLEASE REBLOG IF VIDEO GAMES HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON YOU

This is for an English paper I need to write. 

And like if not

This is a great resource remainder & thought process explanation makes a lot of sense. Very helpful in life & fiction.

Could somebody be a paramedic if they were missing a forearm?

Y’know, sometimes a question comes along that exposes your biases. I’m really, really glad you asked me this.

My initial instinct was to say no. There are a lot of tasks as a paramedic that require very specific motions that are sensitive to pressure: drawing medications, spreading the skin to start IVs. There’s strength required–we do a LOT of lifting, and you need to be able to “feel” that lift.

So my first thought was, “not in the field”. There are admin tasks (working in an EMS pharmacy, equipment coordinator, supervisor, dispatcher) that came to mind as being a good fit for someone with the disability you describe, but field work….?

(By the way, I know a number of medics with leg prostheses; these are relatively common and very easy to work with. I’m all in favor of disabled medics. I just didn’t think the job was physically doable with this kind of disability.)

Then I asked. I went into an EMS group and asked some people from all across the country. And the answers I got surprised me.

They were mostly along the lines of “oh totally, there’s one in Pittsburgh, she kicks ass” or “my old partner had a prosthetic forearm and hand, she could medic circles around the rest of her class”. One instructor said they had a student with just such a prosthesis, and wasn’t sure how to teach; the student said “just let me figure it out”, and by the end of the night they were doing very sensitive skills better than their classmates.

Because of that group I know of at least a half-dozen medics here in the US with forearm and hand prostheses.

So yes. You can totally have a character with one forearm, who works as a paramedic for a living.

Thanks again for sending this in. It broadened my worldview.
