"why does uncle tello's new body have scars?" this "will Sensei's new body still be missing his arm?" that, listen listen guys listen it has already been established that becoming a Vessel for a Hamato grants you a new character design sheet. sometimes you wake up with sweet new genius-trademarked digs, sometimes you just get to be healthy again but with reminders your souls survived some Shit* (....and sometimes ur arm falls off. /j)
*wait wait but theres like the start of an idea there: like when a Hamato spirit possesses/shares a body with someone, they obviously do not change the person, but they can share knowledge, share power, share /themselves/, and this energy can be expressed through alterations in designs, alterations to reflect the additional presence within. 'you are not alone,' but like literally -- meanwhile, when a Hamato spirit is given an 'empty' body, the form is theirs entirely, it reflects them in the full way they understand themselves, not as a brand or a style or an influence, but as a full individual. So like, while the body already looked like Donnie prior to his spirit entering it due to the fact it was created w his DNA, when his spirit entered it it became really and truly an embodiment of /him/, all the life and experience that makes up the way he understands himself, scars included. (Not in an angsty way. Personally id imagine none of the future boys view their scars/injuries very negatively, at least not like their younger counterparts might. i feel like they were too busy with bigger issues and just staying alive to worry about being self-conscious or getting caught up in near-misses.) idk if thats necessarily made much sense or was what you were thinking, but its a fun concept to dig into :D
YOU.
Are absolutely right💜
