WHICH TYPE OF PROTAGONIST ARE YOU?ย

healer's burden. most of what i can say here is sheeesh....yikes.....ouch.... so you don't have a savior complex, because you understand that's toxic. you're not here to save anyone: you're here to heal them, with or without them knowing, because you love so much and care so deeply and you're very stubborn about it. there's no one on this earth that you wouldn't give a helping hand to--but it's called a burden for a reason, because this isn't a one-person job. as a protagonist, you're determined and selfless, but as a person, you probably need a break. heal yourself for a little, okay?

@antigoddex asked: what was their favourite childhood activity? + whatโs one thing theyโve done that theyโre the most proud of?
send me a prompt!
โง โง โง
tandy's favourite childhood activity was ballet. like many little girls, she was put into dance classes by her parents very early on ; unlike many little girls, she showed a strong talent from her very first class. ballet became the centre of her world- it was where she made the majority of her friends, and thus where her early social life spawned from. tandy was never particularly interested in school - though she tried hard at it before her dad died, the classes never fully captivated her interest. ballet was not only something she could enjoy and thrive at, it was also a way to make her father proud - which, until the age of eight, was her primary purpose in life.
find the second answer here.

@nightwarn asked: whatโs one thing theyโve done that theyโre the most proud of?
send me a prompt!
tw: trafficking & addiction mention
โง โง โง
tandy has several things to be proud of ; escaping from her home and later from new orleans ; confronting the memory of her father and making peace with his monstrous nature ; preventing a deadly explosion that would have destroyed her city ; murdering one of her traffickers and imprisoning the other, saving the other girls under their control. however, tandy considers all of these situations as motivated by self-survival - she was backed into a corner, summoning her bravery to deal with something horrifying that was forced upon her.ย
so instead, tandy is most proud of getting clean of her painkiller addiction. it is an addiction that she watched devour her mother, pill by pill, and one she turned to herself when she reached her teen years. after developing her abilities and saving the city, she makes the decision to try to wean off her reliance on them. itโs hard, itโs painful, and she regresses multiple times- but she never gives up on trying to quit. she still feels the temptation sometimes, after a nightmare or a particularly difficult day- but quitting is an ongoing action, and one that she is proud to uphold.ย

@herflame asked: when they look into a mirror, are they happy with what they see?ย why or why not?
send me a prompt!
tw: trafficking mention ; negative body imageย
โง โง โง
tandy has a difficult relationship with her appearance. she is aware that she is conventionally attractive, because she has been told so her whole life. as a kid she was cute, but hitting puberty came with the ugly, predatory attraction of adult men which made her despise her appearance. in an effort to take back some control over this shift, she used her appearance to seduce and steal from men - but ultimately this made her feel hollow, and didn't give her any real power. cutting ties with that part of her life made her feel a lot more comfortable in her body, and happier to survey her reflection.
unfortunately, after being kidnapped and trafficked tandy's feelings around body image plummeted again. the violation of her safety and autonomy- not even being able to dress herself- left her traumatised. swamping herself in enormous, oversized clothes and avoiding all reflective surfaces became a safety mechanism for her as she sought for a way to cope with what had happened.
currently, tandy is in a more stable place with her self image. she is able to look at herself in the mirror, and is usually comfortable with what she sees. she reminds herself that this is the body that has got her this far - the body she has survived in, that has protected her and weathered all storms. she is entirely unconcerned with looking pretty, or being a certain size- she is simply relieved to be safe, to be in control, and to be healthy.ย

๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ย ย ; ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
inspired by a wonderful post by @intoheroโ ! & a warning that this post contains references to a grooming โrelationshipโ (for lack of a better word) between an adult and a minor, which appears in season one of cloak and dagger ; non-explicit references to trauma around physical attraction
โ tandy is bisexual, meaning that she is attracted to both men and women. however, her journey to understanding and accepting this is far from straightforward.ย
โ an initial hurdle to self-understanding was that for a long time, tandyโs ability to recognise her attraction to other people- men or women!- was severely damaged. between the ages of fifteen and sixteen, she was in a relationship with liam walsh, a man in his twenties. walsh, a thief, began to use tandy in his cons, as she was already a proficient pickpocket by this stage. their main con involved tandy flirting with older rich men, getting them to take her home, and then drugging them so that they could rob their houses. being groomed into a relationship by an adult when she was still a child,ย and being pushed into flirtatious and sometimes intimate behaviour with other adults, significantly damaged tandyโs understanding of relationships and attraction. she perceived sexuality as something she had to perform - a character that she became, rather than engaging with any willingness or real consent.ย
โ after her experiences in the viking motel, tandy developed a severe mental block around attraction, as well as a fear of men. as well as avoiding physical contact and dressing to cover her body, she avoided looking at people. attraction was now perceived as predatory, meaning that tandy averted her own eyes as well as avoiding the eyes of others. any physical attraction was rapidly quashed and repressed, and the concept of being attractive to someone became deeply repugnant and even distressing. this attitude held until her early to mid-twenties.ย
โ following therapy, tandy began to reconnect with her feelings of attraction towards others. at this stage, she was finally able to acknowledge her feelings towards women, as well as men. initially, tandy found this frightening. she had very little experience being around women ; she dropped out of school at fifteen, had no female friends (really, no friends at all), and little connection with her mother. having spent her teenage years shaping herself to the desires of men, she had no framework of how to attract or be attracted to women.ย
โ making meaningful connections with people- men and women- was the main route to tandy accepting and understanding her sexuality. regaining trust in people via friendship allowed her to see the value in allowing people close, which in turn boosted her confidence. she is still very anxious around attraction and sexuality, but can confidently state that she finds men and women attractive. moving into a relationship with either is the next step in a long work in progress!ย

META THOUGHTS re: tandy and food. a short discussion about tandyโs relationship with eating, and the negative influences upon this throughout her life. this post touches on both comic and mcu / my main version of tandy.ย ย
tw: disordered eating / eating disorder discussed under the cut ; drug mention ; abduction / imprisonment mentionย
in tandyโs comic background* & her no-powers au, she struggles with an eating disorder, the root causes of which are being brought up by a vain, absent supermodel mother, and the constant pressure of succeeding at ballet.
( * as with most comic book characters, her background varies !ย ย this aspect does not always apply to every backstory tandy has had over the years, and has been phased out of many recent iterations )
in her main verse... I have a lot of thoughts. she grows up from the age of eight in complete poverty, so I think tandy probably hoards food but does not always allow herself to eat it, for fear of it running out. she is uncomfortable eating in front of others unless absolutely necessary.
during her time at the viking motel, food was used to control tandy and the other girls. being compliant meant getting fed.ย fighting back meant going hungry. combined with the drugs they were consistently fed, and the psychic manipulation, this made the girls completely reliant on lia and andre for sustenance. in the immediate aftermath of her escape, and the weeks and months that follow, tandy probably finds eating very very difficult. she just... isnโt hungry anymore. her appetite is gone. the very thing she needs to live was used as a means of control and manipulation, and so eating feels like โgiving inโ to her captors again.
something that helps long-term is atlas, tandyโs therapy dog. getting into the routine of feeding him, and following that action with a small snack for herself,ย allows tandy to reshape the act of feeding into one of self-care. having a dog improves tandyโs attitude to life in many ways, and being responsible forย โsomeoneโ forces her to look after herself more.ย
FROM A WRITING POINT OF VIEW the contrast between comic!tandyโs struggles with food and mcu!tandyโs struggles with food are interesting to me, as this is a topic close to my heart. the former is much more closely aligned with what most people perceive an eating disorder to beย โaboutโ- body image, trying to beย โskinnierโ, negative self-worth enforced by modern beauty standards. the latter is a less-talked-about โcauseโ of disordered eating- it has roots in food scarcity, and is reinforced by abuse; itโs not about looking a certain way, but instead is about tandyโs perception of food being tainted. I think itโs a great way to demonstrate how trauma and abusive people can damage or even ruin mundane actions, objects, or experiences. naturally both versions are valid and distinctly aligned with their own version of tandy.ย

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. some daysย are easier than others ; entirely ordinary, and nothing goes wrong. other days, tandy thinks she sees one of them in a crowd- a man in a black suit and hat, or a woman with shiny, dark hair and clinking bangles. she had been expecting the hallucinations, the haunting (her father followed her for eight years, after all)ย โ what she doesnโt expect is how much of trauma is a five-sense-experience. the rise of menโs cologne in her nostrils when she passes one in a store ; the jump at a hand on her shoulder or the back of her neck ; the taste of tinned soup and green tea ; the pain of jazz music and the scratch of a needle dropping on a record player. how can two people take so much from her? how is that fair?ย
