This post is pretty much an excuse for some pilot caps of Audrey/Nathan...




Side note - what he has is a real condition through a scifi/fantasy lens. In real world, inability to feel pain = not inability to feel anything at all; and the very unlucky people who have this condition, die young because they can't tell they break something or have something else that needs to be tended to.




So, basically, my viewing plan is as follows - I am going to finish my Farscape rewatch, then watch Haven and watch Chuck with Mr. Mousie...

Oh, and the story of the week was totally a romance novel :P Cuuuute.

In season 2, the writers seem to realize that Nathan's condition actually has a real world equivalent and make it a bit different, I also think partially to make it more believable that he's lasted this long, though essentially the same. Throughout the show, though, Nathan mentions more than once times when he was seriously injured and didn't know it until other people freaked out looking at him. The two that immediately come to mind are rolling down a hill and not realizing a bone was sticking out of his arm and a "prank" when other kids filled his backpack with either nails or tacks so that his back was covered in blood.

I think he mostly gets by now by watching how other people physically react to things and being cautious. (And relying on help...Audrey has to check his coffee for him to make sure it isn't too hot.) But in general it's surprisingly aware of the difficulties there.

Yeah, and with that condition to have a job as a sheriff is pretty much quick suicide so yeah...

This fandom has got to be rife with x-rated fanfic because the possibilities for the set-up are endless :P
