I Wonder If There Is Any Fictional Depiction Crush Syndrome?
I wonder if there is any fictional depiction crush syndrome?
On one hand, it's gruesome medical condition (when a limb is compressed with heavy object, so no blood flow goes in out out of limb. Tissues get full of metabolic products. Rest of body however is remotely fine. There were several historical records of people being okay and even commanding other people to get press from their limb. When heaby object is taken off, people lose consciousness within minutes, because toxic metabolites ebter their blood stream and cause system shock). On another hand it's not rare case in natural disasters and war conflicts. And seems to add up realism, gore or emotional contrast (from narrative perspective)

When superpowered characters who based huge part of their identity on their powers lose their powers

More light version: uncomfortable conversations about "What will happen if you lose your strength"
More realistic version: Character has to rebuild their whole life after losing their superpower because a lot of their habits were shaped by them
More fluff version: character A takes care and helps character B after power loss
More grim version: character placed their whole value in their superpower and after loss they are not only discarded by society/community but also they lose their self worth
More therapy version: Character detaches from their superpower because they feel like that they're valued only for their superpower and it hurts them deeply to be seen only as vessel of their power. And in loss of superpower they experience both devastation and liberation
More lore material version: group therapy for those who lost their superpowers
Hope version: character after loss finds their new occupation in mentoring other character with same/similar power
this is my favourite meme

Зачем мы наварили столько борща? /// WHY WE COOKED SO MUCH BORSHCH?
