Accidental supercropping performed on a seedling :(

I supercropped my seedling by accident, I was taking a picture of her and I dropped my phone ;__; the stem got squished and she fell over. I covered up the stem with some soil so that it holds itself up. Do you think my run is over because of that? Should I get another seed?

Depends how small, but as long as its around two weeks old or more it will be fine. Just be real careful to not let the damaged part of stem get wet, at all for a few days. If it gets wet or even worse, wet and dirty, it will rot. Ive used alfoil (tin foil, aluminium foil) to make a lil splint to wrap like a cast for a broken arm or leg to hold the stem straight for a few days on really small young seedlings before with some luck, but if the soil was a bit too wet when I snapped the stem, the repair jobs never worked out too well as the stem rotted. Or ive used bone dry perlite to mound up around the stem to hold it straight while plant healed. thats not a bad idea but dont use soil unless its dry.

If it was still attached it should live, be cautious on watering by the stem to avoid rot.
