I’ll be honest, I didn’t really like this drawing so I remade it :)

Based off a scene in a fic I’m writing.

I don’t know if I’ve posted this before, but a while ago I read a Countryhumans fanfic on Wattpad. I found (and still find) it sweet and really comforting to read, but there’s one massive flaw. One of the characters had been through severe, graphically described torture, and somehow was mostly mentally unaffected (other than the mention of flinching) It was fascinating to me, and I even wrote a fix-it fic about it.

Don’t get me wrong, I still like reading it to escape reality, but I wouldn’t have minded just a tad bit of realism in the PTSD handling.

Writing tip: if you're going to write trauma into any of your characters, you can't be afraid to show the ugly part. You have to, otherwise it falls flat. It's really disappointing when someone makes a traumatized character and they only stick to the ✨️aesthetic✨️ "I'm so deep" type of romanticized fictional trauma.

I'm sorry but that's trash writing and completely disingenuous. Trauma is a lot to overcome, trauma can make you a worse person. It can make you lash out, it can make you unfairly push people away. It's so fucking stupid when a character's trauma is just like "yes I'm traumatized and I haven't gotten over it and the only effect it had on me is that now I'm deep and inherently more empathetic but sometimes I'm sad". The other version is "I'm traumatized thats why I have this endearing sense of sarcasm and dark fashion, I'm so much smarter than the non-traumatized characters". Man shut up.

Grow a spine. Let the characters have ugly moments. Let them do things that they regret. Don't force yourself to try and make them perfect and endearing and sympathetic to the audience at all times. Trust me you'll be glad you did.

Dialogue prompt dump #1

“I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

“Look at me. Just once more.”

“How do you live with yourself? After everything you’ve done, how are you not ashamed?”

“You disgust me.” 

“Face it. You need me.”

“I don’t think much of your hospitality.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it, I’m sorry…” 

“You want forgiveness? Then beg.” 

“Please, they’re innocent! Do whatever you want to me but leave them out of this.” 

“I did what you asked. Be more specific next time.”

Little bit from a fic I'm writing. Warning: there are placeholders as this is a draft

Whumpee: Canada

CW: Panic attack, moment of clarity, implied recent attack

Canada’s body suddenly froze out of his control His whole body grew cold as a moment of clarity suddenly hit him. 'I've just attacked my own mother.' Immediately he let go, backing away, staring at her with his mouth agape. Tears began to form in his eyes, and his stomach twirled, a deep pit forming inside it. He dropped to the floor, clutching the sides of his head as tightly as he could, almost pulling against his own hair.

Canada gasped for air, tightening his fists as he [went sideways]. He didn't know what he was doing. It all happened so fast; it was like his brain had jumped right back into that night, except it was a strange, time-warped version of it.

He was much worse now than how he was earlier.

Canada tucked hiis knees in, wrapping his arms around his legs and burying his eyes into his knees. Tears wetted his school trousers as he whimpered, closing his body further in.

France watched in shock as he did this. Normally, she would've rushed straight to him to help, but she was in shock. He'd nearly attacked her, and it was her fault. She didn't know how to handle his trauma. She thought she was doing the right thing, and it was becoming clear that [it wasn't]. Canada couldn't hear anything other than harsh beating which slammed into his ears. He [turned over], trying to grip the carpet, but his fingers were too weak to properly grip the material. [Suddenly snapping out of her shock], France rushed over to his side, wrapping her arms around his stomach. Canada squealed, squeezing his eyes shut.

скетч с Канадой а патамушта пачиму нет

I'm pleased to let you all know that I've just started writing a Countryhumans fic I've been planning since November last year :)

It's called Absolution, and it's a partially ATLA-inspired fic about a young man (Canada/Lucas Morin) who navigates/tries to overcome his trauma after escaping his abusive father. It deals a lot with his trauma and how it makes him lash out at others, and how he tries to recover even though its overwhelming and scary for him.

The reason why its ATLA-inspired is because Canada had done bad things (not gonna elaborate to avoid spoilers) to earn his father's love, and he is also trying to cope with that knowledge.

If you like characters trying their best but making mistakes, this fic is for you :)

[countryhumans-whump]

This is basically Canada in my main AU except he cries a lot (but is really empathetic) so instead it’s just him lashing out at everyone

The brightest, happiest, most joyful character having the most deprived, tortured, horrid past one could imagine and their team has no clue until it comes back to haunt them somehow and they break.

They just break.

And their team has to watch the one person they never thought they’d ever see cry descend into terrified, inconsolable sobs.

[countryhumans-whump]

Fortunately, I’m currently planning a fic where this happens, multiple times, with multiple characters >:) I’ll give updates when I’m writing it

Internet: we need more flawed characters!

Characters that make big mistakes and try their hardest to fix them: *exists*

Mentally ill characters that act mentally ill and deal with the nastier aspects of mental illness: *exists*

Characters that start out as horrible people but realize that they were wrong and steadily become better people: *exists*

Internet: um, ew. No. We mean like…cute and funny flaws that we can laugh at or fetishize. :)

[countryhumans-whump]

Write my main recovery whump fic, Absolution.
