#child on child trauma

[thescorpionmonarch]

If they truly hate them, either they were hated as a kid, they went through child on child abuse, or they have some form of hate for humanity (misanthopy) as a whole.

I understand being tired by them (energetic, and you prefer calm, quiet, or just introverted) or uninterested. I understand how kids give people anxiety (more vulnerable, unaware, elicits controlling behavior or hypervigilence which tires you). I understand how your own mental health and how unhealthy you are makes you distance yourself from kids and not put them at risk (see above reasons vulnerable, unware, includes neglect too).

But hate? That's a strong word.

im sorry but i cannot stop thinking about isha's pastel memories that play during her sacrifice scene.

look at how full of colour this beautiful fuckin shot is:

it's been well established in episodes 4-6 how grim and dark the undercity has become under cait and ambessa's new rule. but look at how isha sees/remembers it - because of jinx.

jinx, who went through a severe childhood trauma that has carried over into her present self - she covers extremely destructive weapons and grenades in bright pinks and blues, neons, childlike doodles, graffiti. (joy and destruction, powder and jinx, a contrast so striking it becomes like a signature for her).

and then we see the world through isha's eyes. when we meet her in episode 2, she's running through sewers, from goons dressed in black; it's grimy and grim. and then all of her recent memories are done in these childlike pastel, almost crayon-y sketches. because what isha saw was jinx covering a dark and grim world in colours.

and so isha covered her world in colour, too.

because jinx made her world bright.

isha looked at jinx and saw the child in her. she saw powder and she saw jinx. she saw joy and destruction. and that's why jinx gave isha so much hope. isha knew the world was grim and dark - but then she watched jinx, and she learned that you can paint over all that grim darkness with neon blue spray paint.

that's why isha believed in hope. that's why in her final moments - in a scene that is lit dimly and dramatically - she sees nothing but a bright world coloured in pastels.

never underestimate the hope of a child.

i think possibly my favorite anakinism and one i think about a rather unhealthy amount is his body language and how he almost always looks viscerally uncomfortable and vaguely like a child who is scared of getting slapped. even when he’s being confrontational he looks sooo defensive like wow girl you have never fully processed anything that’s happened to you and you will carry the weight of it forever

who else mourning the person they could've been if they were treated kindly as a child

The dichotomy of Batman and Robin is so fucking funny because on one hand you have a brooding, dramatic millennial with a rigid moral compass and a sense of extensional dread, and on the other you have an emotional support child that is somehow the literal embodiment of both sunshine and straight-up murder.

People should talk about child on child abuse and trauma more.

You think only adults can be messed up and creepy? My history says otherwise.

You deserved parents who encouraged your dreams.

It wasn't your job to make their dreams come true for them, or to live the life they dreamed up for you.

Your life is yours.
