does your jd get to keep all of his fingers?
YOU KNOW ANON , i do think about this a lot . we do know that in the movie canon , veronica shoots off his left middle finger . this however does not occur in the musical as she shoots him in the stomach instead . as i see it , i can go FOUR different ways . the FIRST one would be ignoring the movie and following the musical here , all fingers safe and sound . the SECOND one would be that his finger is actually taken from the scene , considered still viable and then he later on undergoes finger reattachment surgery . THIRD one , his finger is no longer viable and jd turns to a finger prosthesis like THIS , which basically would make it seem like he’s always wearing a ring . and finally , FOURTH , in which he doesn’t do anything and is left with a stump on his left hand .
now , i don’t like extremes so personally i wouldn’t go with either option one nor four , but that’s just me , maybe other people would consider those best for their characterization . i’m still , however somewhat stuck between option two and three . that way the trauma of getting his finger blown off remains yet it isn’t as catastrophic .
so , dearest nonnie and dearest readers , if you are seeing this feel free to let me know which one you might think it’s better . otherwise i’d say i might just have to experiment with both options on his post - canon verse .
