i'm wondering how Viper is able to deal with trembling hands as a scientist.
Like, as someone with trembling hands, everything delicate i do with my hands is completely fucked. my writing is fucked, my drawing is fucked-- I explicitly told my board game friends not to include me in any and all stacking games because it's going to be inevitable that I will be the one losing the game.
I can't work in the food and beverage industry anymore because lifting food and drink is a struggle, i can't properly use chopsticks without threatening to drop whatever i'm holding (and i'm asian, btw, this is a travesty to me) because when i close the chopsticks around something like lets say, dim sum, my hands are shaking so hard i can't actually pick it up. or there was this stacking game i was playing called tinderbox and one of the challenges was to use a pair of tweezers to pick up a block and stack it on a flat log, bro, i could not pick up the block.
Okay, mild rant aside-- how does Viper actually do delicate tasks as a chemist and scientist? I mean her handwriting is probably horrendous (most scientists' handwritings are because of the usage of shorthand), and when i took chemistry i HATED pouring anything into something with a small gap because it was so difficult and I was often handling like the actual shit like the burners and compounds (because my lab partner was for some reason terrified of said things).
In all honesty, most of my own thoughts as someone with trembling hands on Viper having them is that it just makes her double down on control over her own self. She's not going to let something so small (it is not small, I imagine her tremors are worse than mine) stop her from doing daily activities or doing what she must. She will not feel useless. Or helpless.
I imagine that a lot of her work, she does alone-- which leaves her open to get frustrated at her own hands. With other people she won't show it, I don't think, and she'll snap st them to go back to whatever they were doing instead of staring at her.
i have intrusive thoughts about punching the wall/slamming my hands into a hard surface as if to fix my hands, so i also imagine her doing that as well.
I dunno. For someone with so much control issues... i'm surprised many people don't say anything about her trembling hands and how she feels about them.
(i mean, i have a lot to feel about my hands and how frustrated i am on a near constant basis about them.)
