i just realised how f*cked up horror sans's injury from undyne is.
so i just asked chat gpt to tell me what areas of the brain would be affected and it's really f*ucked up. here's what they had to say:
❗ Assumptions:
We'll assume the injury involves:
Loss of one eye (commonly the right)
Visible trauma to the frontal/temporal region of the skull
Possible brain exposure or severe cranial fracture
Brain Areas Affected:
If the injury is localized to the right eye socket and right frontal/temporal region, the following brain areas might be affected:
Right Orbitofrontal Cortex (OFC) – located behind the eye:
Involved in decision-making, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
Damage can lead to personality changes, emotional instability, and poor judgment.
Right Temporal Lobe – just behind and below the eye socket:
Handles memory, language comprehension (if left hemisphere dominant), and facial recognition.
Damage could lead to memory loss or difficulty recognizing faces.
Optic Nerve and Eye Structure:
Loss of the eye means loss of input from that optic nerve.
The person would have significantly impaired depth perception and no vision on that side (monocular blindness).
Frontal Bone & Skull Integrity:
Skull fractures in this area can risk infection (meningitis), bleeding (epidural hematoma), or damage to frontal lobes.
Survival and Realism:
Can someone survive this?
Yes, but it would be extremely serious and require immediate, intensive medical care.
Loss of an eye is survivable.
Skull fractures are survivable if there's no massive brain bleeding or swelling.
Brain exposure (as in some fan art) is unlikely survivable without quick surgical treatment.
Would they function normally?
Not fully.
Likely cognitive and emotional changes (depending on exact brain damage)
Chronic pain, seizures, and personality changes are common.
Visual and sensory deficits would be permanent.
