Physical Torture Meme
TRIGGER WARNING: this meme contains extremely graphic content.
if you are not comfortable with drastic violence, please don't proceed.
i. self-mutilation. for whatever reason, you're your own worst enemy. can another character save your from themselves, or are they in the same boat? maybe it's neither and they just like to watch.
ii. otherwise inflicted. one character is the torturer, one character is the tortured. state your preference or assume the top commenter is in the tortured position.
1. DISMEMBERMENT/AMPUTATION: You should never get too attached to your limbs. Who knows when you'll lose one? Or have it taken from you. Hands, feet, arms, elbows, if it sticks out, it can be snapped, sawed, crushed or pulled off. Better staunch that stump quick, unless life isn't worth living without your favourite foot.
2. IRREVERSIBLE SENSORY DEPRIVATION: See, speak, and hear no nothing. While temporarily muting a sense can heighten the others and make for a fun time in the short term, it's probably not an adjustment you'd want to make permanently. Too bad. Perforated eardrums, plucked eyes, and cut tongues fall under this category -- and don't forget those other senses you could always do without, like touch and smell.
3. FLAYING/SKINNING/SCALPING: People are layered. Time to find out exactly how much. Peel, shave, or pull the flesh off yourself or others and maybe you'll expose their true nature. Or organs. Probably that second thing.
4. SCARIFICATION/TATTOOING/BRANDING: Make your mark. Ritualism, boredom, or for any number of reasons, it's time to claim what's yours. Brand it with red-hot iron, slice it with a scalpel, write it in permanent ink -- make sure you're never forgotten.
5. BLUNT TRAUMA: Stop the blood flowing and keep the fun going. Blunt trauma involves any painful force that doesn't break the skin. Hitting, kicking, beating with brass knuckles or bats, and breaking bones. Nobody said anything about internal bleeding, did they?
6. TRAPS: From medieval torture devices such as iron maidens to the infamous reverse beartrap of the Saw series, isn't technology fascinating? Push your face through knives to activate the switch that releases your bonds, or stretch yourself thinner on a rack. For more implements, check the instruments of torture page.
7. PERFORATION/LACERATION: The opposite of blunt force trauma, this option is for those that prefer to dig a little deeper. Cut the skin with knives, suspend it with hooks, lash it with whips. Shallow or mortal wounds, see red red red!
8. EATEN ALIVE: A body is a terrible thing to waste. Perhaps you're the guest of honor at a cannibal's feast, you've been thrown to the dogs, or zombies, or there's always the good old brown rats ready to burrow through your bowels with a little incentive.
9. TEMPERATURE: Burned, boiled, frozen, drenched in wax, it's uncomfortably hot or cold in here and taking off all your clothes probably won't do the trick this time.
10. PHARMACOLOGICAL: You're the guinea pig in this ethics-committee-bypassing experiment, lucky you! Injections are the name of the game. Induce pain, pleasure, hallucinations, sleep, sleep deprivation, the sky's the limit. Or just toss them into a pit of hypodermic needles. Cause you know. That's cool. Oh and don't forget about withdrawal!
11. FREAK-FOR-ALL: Don't see it above? Don't worry about it. If it hurts, it belongs in here, so let your imagination run free, you twisted wild thing, and wreak a little misery. ♥

He really didn't remember. And, now I've made him...
He's not good with crying. He's never been. Usually he pretends to not notice or makes an excuse to remove himself from the situation. Sometimes, he says cruel things that barb into the emotions of who he's talking to since they have the nerve to start crying.
He doesn't want to leave John's side. He doesn't want to make him hurt, either. John will know he's not stupid enough to not notice, but he might appreciate him not saying as much.
"As far as your injuries and complications go, your eyes have been the most severe. You've also got several compound fractures in both feet and your right hand. Broken ribs, punctured lung, internal bleeding due to blunt force trauma (that's over with, in any case), several lacerations (from a whip, it looks like), incise wounds from a small knife, second and third degree burns, and a depressed skull fracture on the parietal lobe near the motor cortex," he explains methodically. If he were in John's situation, he would want to know every detail of his condition. Surely, John would want the same?

His eyes. His eyes. That explains the bandages, would have bled--oh God, the knife--he wants to be sick, but he can't, not with the damn tube down his throat. He's trembling without realizing it, and it hurts, moving hurts a lot even with the painkillers he can tell are coursing through him.
I'm never going to see again.
The thought crashed over him, crashed down on him. He's never going to see Sherlock's improbable, changeable eyes. Never going to watch the sun come up. Never going to get that feel of a perfect shot that you know is going to hit the target.
Never going to stitch up a patient. Never going to run through the streets of London chasing criminals.
He only half remembers after that, the pounding of his head and the searing pain of his eyes making thought almost impossible. But he remembers the hand running over his cuts, the voice in his ear.
"He won't need you now, Johnny. He'll be better off running on his own."

"Sorry," Sherlock says, voice sounding distracted. John could probably imagine the distant look on his face as Sherlock tries to grasp for something by sorting through dusty old boxes in the farthest reaches of his Mind Palace.
Nothing.
He sighs and pets back John's hair. He's extremely careful of the bandage covering up the head wound, so much that he avoids the cloth wrap even when he knows the skull fracture isn't under that portion. That's the injury he's still scared most for. The eyes, though devastating and tragic, can be worked around.
"John, he won't hurt you again. I promise you that," he tells his friend, trying once more at consoling, and not knowing that he's completely off the target in his assumptions. He starts to say 'I'll kill him first,' but thinks twice. It's not that he is particularly private about his desire to torture the other man to death. He'd find that a perfectly reasonable thing and hopes John would agree. It's the thought of the fear of Moriarty's continued existence that stops him. It's bad enough the phantom in John's mind is hurting him this badly.
