Today's Annual Treatment Review marked the end of Willow's third year completely encased in her full body cast. Unfortunately, much like the last couple of years, the x-rays showed no notable healing throughout Willow's broken body... and she'd need to spend at least another year in her full body cast (although it was likely many, many more). Despite her best efforts, Willow couldn't help but cry as she imagined yet another year of suffering in her miserable plaster prison...
However, as tears flowed from her eyes and soaked into the aging padding of her full body cast, Willow was distracted by a muffled whimper to her left. Looking to the side, Willow locked eyes with the loving companion she'd spent the last year of her life with. A fox, wrapped in a full body cast almost identical to her own, named Rudoji.
Despite the devastating news, Willow couldn't help but feel some warmth in her heart as she looked into his eyes and remembered the care and affection he'd shown her during their time together. The cute and friendly noises he made, the loving way he looked at her, the heartwarming way he rested his bushy tail on her casted thigh, and so much more.
He was there for every meal and sponge bath. He supported her through every heartbreaking diagnosis and hopeless treatment. He was the only one that made her feel safe during each depressive episode or anxiety attack... always offering the same level of warmth and affection.
Rudoji was the only one who could truly empathize with her situation and he made sure that Willow never felt alone in her struggle. Together they endured the endless aches and pain that plagued their broken bodies, struggled through the embarrassment of sponge baths and diaper changes, and shared in the misery of watching the world move on without them… and somehow, through his companionship alone, he made her feel… happy.
Willow suddenly felt a wealth of emotions building within the confines of her full body cast. It seemed impossible to feel so much love for someone whose face she'd never seen and voice she'd never heard... but she did. Her heart was racing; beating against her casted chest while her body struggled against its plaster prison, wanting nothing more than to break free and feel his loving embrace. She wanted to hold him close, bury her face in his chest, and tell him how much he meant to her... but for now, she could only pray that Rudoji knew... that somehow the overwhelming emotions she felt could be conveyed by her eyes alone.
However, as she continued looking into his eyes, all of her fears and doubts melted away. No matter how many years she spent wrapped in plaster, locked away from the world outside of her hospital room... as long as he was there... she'd be okay.

Check out his page! One of his recent posts inspired me to finish up this picture: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49251045/
I've been sitting on this picture for a while. I didn't want to post it until I wrote a full-length story to go along with it... but life's been busy and I don't know when I'll have the time, so I decided to clean up the picture, write a smaller story, and post it. I still want to write a longer story involving these two in the future so hopefully I'll have the time at some point. The picture was a bit rushed, so there are definitely some cut corners and assets I reused from previous artwork. That being said, I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

Having these two be part of such an insane and [nearly] hopeless scenario has been so inspiring and, quite frankly, heartwarming for me. You've managed to make someone I find so captivating, and I really can't thank you enough for creating Willow. This is the sorta stuff that makes my week ;3
I also love having these two paired up together. Wrapped up in their full body casts, with no knowledge of if they’ll ever be free, but being able to find comfort in one another is genuinely heartwarming. I feel the same way about Rudoji so I appreciate you creating such a wonderful character as well, glad I could brighten your week!
I’m sure the doctors wouldn’t be opposed to trying out some more complex treatment methods ;) might make an alternate version of this picture with some braces/fixators involved, we’ll have to see.
Glad you like the picture! I also love the scenario so I really enjoyed drawing this bodycasted duo. Happy it came out well!

I would love it if you/I went to a psych ward to visit a friend, then being mistaken for a patient, jacketed and sedated then waking up like this. Each time the time goal has been met then it becoming perpetually extended, being totally helplessly encased in this inescapable prison, not being able to protest or convey my innocence for anyone to hear and if they did it would only be interpreted as symptoms on my insanity and totally ignored to assist in my/your "Recovery". Re-evaluation is done on a yearly basis, eventually, after 3 years, if the doctors agree, that it would be in my/your best interests to be confined in this wearable padded cell permanently.
Best be on my/your best behaviour and just accept it, like I/you have a choice!

I definitely like the idea of being stuck in a full body cast. Helpless, immobile, and unable to communicate. The recovery time being endlessly extended. For me I've always enjoyed when the injuries are real though, so that there's no hope for freedom unless their broken bodies can somehow heal (such as Willow's situation).
I like to think of it being a punishment for running away from a psych ward, being a difficult patient or mistaken identity. Being forced into it against your will never knowing when/if you'll ever be released. To think that this actually happened to people in the past. Born in the wrong place at the wrong time I suppose. DAMN!
Can you imagine being in this FBC and having Nurse Ratched look after you? OOOH!

I love wheelchairs like these. No big wheels to push no electronic controls. They are designed with the knowledge that the user will be completely helpless to be pushed about by a caretaker.
The irony is that if doctors just diagnosed willow as needing a full body cast for the rest of her life she'd probably have some adaptive equipment. They could stick a sip n puff straw through the hole in her face cast so she could drive a wheelchair, they could teach her a coded eye blink method for communication and a eye tracking computer could give her independence in some areas of her life. But because it keeps being is only a few months more she'll have to be in a full body cast noone wants to go through the expense and work of rehab for her.
So for the rest of her life she'll lie in a bed watching whatever crappy daytime TV show the last nurse left on unable even to call a nurse or request a diaper change.

I love these kind of wheelchairs for the same reason. It takes away any form of independence and makes them fully reliant on others. And that's true, without a permanent diagnosis I'm sure Willow's health insurance would refuse to provide her with any kind of mobility or quality of life equipment because they're "sure" that she will be free next year. Instead, like you said, she'll spend her life in bed immobile, mute, and helpless.
