Wing Thoughts

Wing Thoughts

Could not sleep due to wing thoughts last night, so here you go

Note: I’m working off the assumption the wing base goes from the shoulder blade to a little above where your ribs end. Also that wings are about three times your height in length, so you can’t really pull things over them.

Washing - Wings are very difficult to wash on your own, often family, lovers, or even close friends will help each other wash wings. There are devices to wash your wings on your own, but it’s more difficult and it’s considered better for others to do it.

Bras- The most common has a central back strap and hooks to the sides under the wings, with two straps in the front. Doctors don’t recommend since the do put pressure on the back of the neck. 2nd best is basically a corset. Worst is middle strap that uses the neck for support with a triangle piece in the front since it puts a lot of weight on the neck. Also hooks to the side and possibly on the neck.

Shirts- Tend to button/zip/etc. under the wings for pullovers. Button-ups and jackets tend to button over the wings.

Medical - Wings braced with rods attached to back piece, attachment to back piece and wing joint piece in rod have adjustable angles to keep correct wing shape. Back braces have wing slits from the top and buckle at the sides to put on, slightly uncomfortable and working on being improved. Sometimes feathers must be plucked to bandage wounds, hurts the same way waxing hair does just larger scale. Shed and grow the same way as hair.

Growing up - Children have down that turns to flight feathers during puberty. Controversy about schools teaching flight, considered “too dangerous” and “a parent’s job”.

Flying laws - A combo of driving and air traffic laws. Air tech invented a lot earlier. Airplanes are a lot like cars, they fly higher than people due to regulations. Commercial fly highest because of pressurized cabins. There are different landing zones for people and planes, advised to stay far away from opposing landing zones.

There’s still a lot of ground transport since flying is a lot of work and airplanes require a lot of fuel. I minute of flying with gliding is the same as a one minute jog, flying takes a lot of stamina. Flying is also seen as more risky than ground transport since there is a higher chance of injury.
