i like writing trauma fic about characters who Don't recover quickly from the physical or psychological toll. particularly when the story becomes more about the ongoing aftermath than the initial traumatic event. i think that's like 95% of my works on ao3 right now. across all fandoms all relationships all premises. like. hello friend. you are here because you, like me, enjoy reading about this one specific character getting beat up. you are still here once he's done getting beat up because you, like me, like to see what happens after the worst has already been done. so! can i interest you in some Pathetically earnest storytelling about the nature of pain and brokenness π₯Ίππ
#'earnest' isnt the first term i'd use to describe my shit since it's usually paired with positive love hope light stuff#but earnest it is. me on a street corner with a bullhorn like an apocalyptic preacher yelling 'IT'S ALL FUCKED. IT'S ALL SO FUCKED'#i hate it when characters get better super fast and then move on and have 'completed' their arc.#no baby get back here. that horror lives in you. it's your twin now and there will be nights 20 years from now when it still tries to#swallow you. no matter how far you run no matter how much you learn no matter how well you do#and if you're really lucky. you'll get really good at writing men like belos owlhouse as a tradeoff.
