re last reblog I do see fanfic culture pushing/replicating a certain model of "what trauma looks like," "how trauma works"

this is a problem across all areas of society obviously, but transformative works are, well, transformative. they're about crafting and modifying narratives where the fan-creator sees a flaw or a lack -- often for the better! don't get me wrong, I've done my fair share of "I take a hammer and I fix the canon," it's the main thing that gets my creative gears spinning -- but what happens when that "flaw" is simply a narrative not conforming to popular expectations?

some people just don't get PTSD from events that sound obviously traumatic. they're not masking, and they're not coping; they just straight-up didn't get the permanently-locked stress-response that defines PTSD. they walk away from a horrible experience going "well, that sucked, but it's over now." some people do get PTSD from events most people wouldn't find traumatic. we don't really know why some people get PTSD and others don't. but fandom has an idea of events that must be traumatizing, of a "correct" way to portray trauma. you see the problems with this lack of understanding in e.g. fans pressuring the devs of Baldur's Gate 3 to add dialogue where the player character badgers Halsin about his own feelings on his abuse -- because he must be traumatized, and his trauma must fit a certain mold and presentation of sexual trauma, under the mistaken impression that anything outside that narrow window is somehow "wrong" and disrespectful or even harmful to survivors.

take, for another example, the very common trope of a traumatized character who hates touch or sex "learning" to like touch or sex as a part of their healing process. certainly that can be healing for some people; other people will never like, or want, touch or sex, because of trauma or because they just don't. the assumption that someone who doesn't want sex or doesn't like to be touched must be traumatized, must be suffering from this perceived lack, is seriously harmful -- to asexual people, to people with sensory issues around touch, and to people for whom healing from trauma means freedom to refuse sex or touch.

and there's a secondary trope, one that's slightly more thoughtful but ultimately repeats the problem -- that once someone has learned that their boundaries will be respected, they'll feel it's safe to soften those boundaries. once they feel safe refusing touch or sex, they'll feel comfortable allowing it on their own terms. but many people don't, and many people won't! many people will simply never want to be touched, and never want sex, and they are not suffering or broken or lacking because of it. the idea that proving you'll respect someone's boundaries entitles you to test those boundaries -- the paradox is obvious, and yet this is something i've seen hurt (re-traumatize) people i care for.

people are imperfect victims. people don't heal in the ways you expect. many people have positive memories of their abuse, of their abusers. many people hurt others in the course of their trauma, in ways that can't easily be unpacked in a 5k oneshot. very few narratives of trauma and recovery actually fit the ones put forward by popular children's media and romance novels -- which are the ones I most see replicated in fandom spaces, because they provide the clearest narrative and easiest catharsis, and so they're easy and soothing to reach for.

that's not necessarily a bad thing! i am not immune to goopy romance tropes. i am not immune to teary catharsis. not every fic has to grapple with ugly realities. but there's a problem when these narratives become predominant, when people think they're accurate and realistic depictions of trauma, when the truth of trauma is unpleasant and uncomfortable, and doesn't fit any single narrative, let alone one of comforting catharsis

But I have seen something. It's so simple. Just a dot and a line and another dot. That's it. That's all. For now. But the inevitable march of technology will not be stemmed.

Wanted to experiment with different styles more and he will never not be on my mind, *so anyway, here's Wonderwall voice*, so anyway, here's Backstory!

Thor and Loki sharing a plate and everyone thinks it’s so weird but they are ignorant of the truth. The brothers are avoiding the need to do dishes after every meal as they can now alternate the washing

writhing in agony like a worm on hot asphalt because we might never get a game like shadow the hedgehog again, a game that's dedicated to the exploration of a character let alone a character who isn't sonic. sa1 certainly gave character arcs to everyone involved and fleshed out the cast we already knew, and while i could settle for something similar whether that's done through story or dedicated gameplay/campaigns it doesn't exactly match up to the kind of depth a game that focuses on putting a blorbo in situations can have. shth isn't perfect but it reveals a surprising amount of shadow if you look deeper into the stories and their events and how he acts and behaves through them. it's less about the things happening around shadow, those simply set the stage and the playground for the player to get into the nitty gritty with shadow and put themselves into the same situations and give them the opportunity to ask themselves "how would shadow react to this kind of situation" and act accordingly. or they can choose to go against that initial instinct and learn something new, because the other choices are equally as valid as the obvious ones. even that said i don't think a morality system is a requirement for a game like this by a long shot, while it enables a more in-depth look into a character there are other less time-consuming ways to achieve that, and i know there are characters in sonic who would benefit from being given the spotlight in that fashion at least once. shth is almost 20 years old, frontiers might be taking steps away from the post-06 era where we could only play as sonic as well as the 2010s writing that abandoned depth for simplicity, and they're re-releasing gens with extra stages for shadow, but even then would i dare to hope for a game that fulfills not much more than a niche that has the risk of not being received well? i writhe and i squirm and the asphalt burns
