Description:

A reader insert series about a spoonie Stark Industries IT tech who finds a kindred spirit in Loki, God of Spoons, because it's hard being different on the inside.

Notes:

Spoon Theory is a metaphor within the disabled community used to describe the reduced physical and mental abilities available for everyday tasks.

For example: Reader may wake up with 10 spoons. She uses 1 to get out of bed, 3 to take a shower, 2 to get her hair and makeup ready, and 2 to get dressed. That leaves 2 spoons left to get through the rest of the day, which may include driving to work, cooking meals, driving back home, possibly performing household chores, etc.

It is a way to highlight how those in the disabled community who call themselves Spoonies, must budget their time and energy effectively in ways that those outside of the community do not have to consider.
