Seven Sentence Sunday
Tagged as always by the very nice @elodiah!! <3
Writing has been personally trying to murder me for the past two weeks š
Resorting to drastic measures, Mobius grabs one of the cushions from the other end of the couch and whacks Loki lightly over the head with it.
Itās good that he's has largely gotten over his temporary aversion to touch, especially given the TVA upholstery was not made with comfort in mind ā the cushion amounts as much to a slab of concrete as to seat padding ā so he merely raises one arm up to defend himself, a muffled, āHey!ā before he finally shuffles upright.
āOne would think," he starts, the world of malice in his tone directed entirely towards Mobius, "that saving the timelines might guarantee permission to sleep uninterrupted. But apparently not.ā He clambers to his feet, looking for the first time since his return every bit the dangerous creature he is, eyes narrowed with a seething displeasure.
Mobius has no doubt that any other person in his position ā and there are many people who have been ā would cower at having that stare turned upon them. But, frankly, he really does not care, and thinks Loki currently looks more like a cat thatās been nudged off of a seat it was taking up too much space on ā which is to say, he looks vaguely adorable.
In a scary kind of way.

RANIAAAA hru? I hope you're wellš
I have a soft thought on superman!mingyu. When you first started dating, he's just so happy and excited he forgets his own strength sometimes.
He holds the door open for you? There's a dent in his car door. He feeds u the first bite of his cooking? Best believe the spoon is bent from how nervous he is. He wants to help out dusting and vacuuming? He accidentally lifts the couch to high it knocks out your lightbullb.
He's always so apologetic and shy about it, sometimes he gets insecure and scared that even with the best of his intentions he might accidentally get you hurt. It could be thaat at a point it bothers him so much that he's teary eyed. Cause how can he be this reliable hero but also risk hurting you? But you just shake your head and kiss his pout away because when it comes to touching you.. he's always gentle.
(sure sometimes you gasp when you dont see each other for a while or his adrenaline is pumping from a recent rescue that he speeds into your arms.)
But after the first few times, Mingyu won't lunge forward for a hug, instead he opens his arms so you come to him and he'll gently cradle you. He's softer and slower and intentional when he reaches for you. Your cheeks hurt from smiling so much when he's carefully picking off an eyelash from your cheekbone. His fingers are rough from callouses but it reminds you of who he is and why he had to work so hard. So you brush your lips against his palms and just embrace him.
Idk, i feel like theres always going to be this juxtaposition of being a reliable and good super hero with abilities that can hurt others or attract others to hurt you. š¤§But he really does try and thats all that matters to youš
Hiii TOMO !!! and i've been doing fineee how have u been lovely š«¶š«¶
STOPP you're so right!!! i've already mentioned how he would totally underestimate his super strength abilities and overall just being this goofball in a muscular man's body yk š
there will for sure be lil dents and cracks in both of your homes from his clumsy shenanigans šš STOP THE SPOON BEING BENT i could just imagine the food falling off the spoon when he's trying to feed you and he gets all shy abt it HAHA
he would definitely be so shy and apologetic abt it :(( the thought of hurting you hurts him, makes his poor lil heart ache if that happens. there are definitely instances throughout the relationship where he believed his heroic identity and obvious inhuman abilities would be the downfall of your relationship, yet it's so hard to imagine a life without you in it, and the kiss you leave to his lips after he spills that to you makes him nearly forget all about it. so that's why he's always cautious when it comes to you, always tries to let you do the first move in initiating affection even though he wants to do that too. he would be so so sweet, gentle, and soft whenever he's admiring you in more intimate situations š„ŗ
sometimes he may accidentally squeeze you a lil too hard or even picking you up by surprise while he's flying back home š
but he for sure makes mental notes about it. would place a nervous hand at your hips if he wants to backhug you, open his arms for you to fall into his embrace after noticing you've had a hard day at work, and overall just make you feel loved and cherished. and whenever the comfort and protection of his arms swallow you whole, you can't help but admire him too--over the small cut you notice at his lips from a very difficult battle that would fade away in time, the callouses at the tip of his fingers, while listening the sound of his steady heartbeat in your ear <3
there definitely is a big juxtaposition with being a superhero with the ability to hurt others too :(( but like you said... he tries because he loves you and has so much love to give, and that's all that matters š„ŗ

Whenever I do pose studies itās usually with Simonā
Explaining them all under a cut as per usual :3
Most of these are based on stock photos lol. I ran into a set of them that was just people in business suits being absolutely distraught and lmao yeah. Simon can be a little pathetic if he wants to, we all are sometimes. Anyway I picked this one specifically for the high heels. I think Simon would be the kind of guy to have a panic attack in Draculaās castle and somehow not roll his ankle in his heeled boots even once ššš. Idk what else to say about this one uhhhhhhhhhhhhā
Simon seconds after being cursed with the knives subweapon right before a boss battle. Especially annoying because he had the cross boomerang, basically fills the role of knives but way way better šā¦ā¦ also noooo I forgot to draw the sword on his belt š. Iāve been trying to keep that consistent, even if the Belmonts like donāt really use the sword at all lmao. Iāve always assumed that itās probably canonically Leonās sword, of course before Leon was created as a character it was likely just generic sword or sword from a then unnamed ancestor, but yeah. I like to think Simon uses it for like really tough close combat situations, either that or itās just a back up in case anything happens. Itās also just really fun resting your hand on a sword sometimes hmmm very practical hand restā
Two more various defeated poses. The top one is practically just his death pose from like was it chronicles that has him lay flat all the wayā? Noā¦ ok most of his death poses have him with his ass in the air X,,,,,,,,D. He dies in a faceplant with his knees a little inward just right so that heās making a perfect quarter circle shape on the ground lol. But I do remember seeing one death animation where he lays flat hmmm what game was itā¦ā¦ itās not CV4 is itā¦ hmm what mystery. Also I just noticed that I havenāt been drawing a part in his hair until recently??? Idk why not lol itās something. Tbh drawing the top part of his hair is stupid difficult because I over exaggerate his bangs and I donāt want them to clash or bleed into each other, otherwise the top of his head is kinda hard to see (X X ). But this top angle of it isnāt too bad to draw :3
Another one, still stock photos so far. This one unfortunately his hands got all smudged up (-_- ;). Also his hair ended up covering all of the neck anatomy I drew R.I.P.
Finally, one with his face in viewā Heās praying.. and giving a little side eyeā¦ kinda. Idk this was also a stock photo X,,,,D. Tried to make sure his headband tails where in these as much as possible cause I missed drawing themā
Another dynamic stock photo pose, this time not in that group of business person ones! It might have been a different weapon in the original image tho, but I made it the family sword :3. Then ironically I realized I had been forgetting the whip multiple times ššš. Idk maybe the context for these is that he was in a really difficult battle and got the whip (and eventually the sword) knocked out of his hand, thatās why heās so freaked out rn too ig. Heās also got knife subweapon oh no pray for my man heās strugglingā And that bottom silly doodle says āglubtupis weppleā which is a caption I saw on a cat meme somewhere I think I donāt remember tbh šššššš
This says āWillem Dafoe ass poseā because indeed this is a pose from Willem Dafoe. He did this onceā I should draw Simon in Willem Dafoe poses like that page I made of him as various Jerma poses hmmmmmā
Suddenly very unrelated Simonās Quest doodle that just so happens to be on the same sketchbook page, so itās invited too. The text says āexcuse me do you know whereāā ābeat your fucking head in šššā āthanks! Iāll consider it!ā and this was drawn based on that guy who says āgo to Deborah Cliff, hit your head, and make a holeā and at like 1 am lol. Thatās such a sentence tho like, anyway you read it is like not good ššš. He might be saying ābeat your head inā or, uh, considering itās a cliffā I need to replay the game again and actually write about it aaaaaaaaaaa, I have so many ideas (>< ). Thereās also random chibi head angles above it for practice.
I saw a cute nightgown on Pinterest and immediately put Simon in it and I was right, he does look cute in it. It was also a really good practice for drawing fabric textures!!! Especially the ruffles on the bottom, theyāre very loosely sewn, pretty far apart, subtle gatheringā it wasnāt intentional, but you can kinda see his silhouette through the fabric a little so uh just imagine that itās a thin fabric and light is going through it :3. The second doodle is him in other more modern pajamas. Shorts, t shirt, socks, the usual. I love how I drew his mouth in this one heās so cute asdfghjkl (ćĻć). These were both doodles done while I was sleepy so the sleepy vibes came through in them pretty well I thinkā
Another tiny doodle of that nightgown. You can either take it as him wearing one of Selenaās nightgowns or that Simon just has a cute, tiny, semi sheer, little, frilly nightgown of his own, both are very valid optionsā
#castlevania#castlevania games#akumajo dracula#akumajou dracula#simon belmont#art post#my art#simonās quest#he is my personal dress up doll and also my pose reference andā#making him do everything cause heās fun to draw#and he can be silly sometimes#as a treat <3#that nightgown was really cute thoā#I need to put him in more clothes more often#also yay keeping scars consistent on a character yay yippie wahoo#Iād have drawn leg hair on him but:#1. hes got light hair and itās not super visible from a distance#2. burn scars on he leg#3. and arms#also other scars in general itād get really muddy in just pencil augh#but in the future in a colored image perhapsā

Kamen Rider Revice and Intentional Writing Part 1-A
Ikkiās childhood trauma and how itās impacted him as an adult
Warnings: Spoilers, mentions of self-harm and suicidal ideation, mental illnesses, and toxic familial relationships (Spoilers up to ep 19)
Previous Revice analysis:Ā 1 , 2 , 3.1 , 3.2 , 3.3 , 4Ā
Bonus: Igarashi Ways to Affection + Sibs Theme 1a & 1b
In light of the events that happened at the hospital in episode 18ā I decided to analyze why Ikki said ā¦.everything that he said š š
Hahaā¦ šššš¶ššš....Well, I already knew the reason he was the way that he isā¦.But just recently I was watching a therapist react to things on youtube and found out thereās an *actual* term for Ikkiāsā¦.uh *gestures to all of him*. And after some research I decided to present you with it:
IKKIāS EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE + Why Vice even EXISTS
In my very first Revice analysis I presented my theory onā¦( idk?) how Reviceās writer was actually an evil mastermind spittinā mad genius and we were all fools that didnāt know how to read. LoLā Basically I was vomiting out my theories on Ikkiās psychology based on the role he has in his family.
āI discovered (from analyzing their family scenes) that Ikki ā from a young age, has been the one raising his siblings, both Daiji and Sakura, while their parents were focused elsewhere.ā ā āMy theory is that the mother is so busy taking care of the father ā¦that Ikki ends up getting front-loaded with raising his siblings and having to take on the bathhouse responsibilities, even at a young age.ā
Anyways this isnāt a theory anymore (It's fact), LOL. If I"m wrong about this then I'll eat my damn shirt, put on clown makeup, and do household chores for a week.
That's How SURE I am.
Now, onto the facts:
During my youtube binges I heard the term: āCaretaker Personalityā.... and was like āHmmmmā. And (of course)--- decided to do some research.
(Taken from the online article: WHEN CARETAKING BECOMES AN UNHEALTHY EQUILIBRIUM):
āCaretaking, also referred to as compulsive helping, is an addictive behavior that, while lesser known, is still highly destructive, according to Dr. Robert Lefever, a prominent addiction specialist in the UK. Caretaking can be more insidious than an addiction to substances such as drugs or alcohol, making it extremely difficult to identify and treat.ā
āLefever defines compulsive helping as āthe need to be needed.ā Thereās nothing unusual about the desire to be needed, but like other addictions, caretaking is a behavior taken to an extremeā¦ Rather than helping, (their caring) turns out to be both self-destructive and harmful to others.ā
āReasons individuals are drawn to caretaking include the following:
-They are continuing the role they had while in their family of origin.
-They feel powerless in their own lives; trying to fix others provides some semblance of control.
-They feel their own life is out of control and that itās easier to āsolveā the problems of another than deal with their own.
-Othersā problems are a distraction from their own.
-They donāt trust others to live their own lives the way they āshouldā and think they are the only one capable of helping.
-They are perfectionists and are uncomfortable with mistakes made by themselves and others.
-They have trouble with boundaries and feel they are responsible for everyone else.
-They feel selfish if they focus on themselves.ā
ā¦
"Caretaking is one of the ways the ego wounded self tries to protect against rejection, as well as a way to not feel your own and others' pain.
When you are a caretaker, you put your own inner child in a closet and take care of another's inner child with the hope that the other person will feel loved and then eventually take your inner child out of the closet and love you.
Caretakers have a lack of empathy when it comes to themselves, even though they are greatly empathetic to other people."
"When I was growing up, my role was to caretake othersā feelings in my family unit. When I say ācaretakeā I mean that I masked my own emotional experience in order to take care of the other personās feelings. My emotions often went on the back burner, and I attempted to present myself as āthe little ray of sunshineā that I was nicknamed. I understood from an early age that I received the most validation and positive affirmation when I didnāt speak my true feelings. My family had enough problems, so I became silent and good and processed my negative emotions quietly and alone. I did everything I could to avoid making others feel uncomfortable. I learned to value othersā superficial happiness over my own voice and truth.
To this day my family members comment on how āstrongā I am, how āresilient,ā and how I āalways land on my feet.ā While I believe these things to be true about myself, I consider these descriptions as only part of my story. The vulnerable part of me that does feel very deeply and often longs to be messy and supported by those I love most can still feel unseen."
...
end of the caretaker quotations (Articles: "My Role as a Caretaker" + 'Why being a caretaker causes problems in relationships')
Sounds like Ikki doesnāt it?
(Also take note of the āinner childā commentā¦.weāll be coming back to that)
So after reading a plethora of articles about the caretaker personality, I got down to the root of the issueā¦ā¦. (and also discovered the psychological term of what youād call what happened to Ikki, that in hindsight ā shouldāve been obvious).
Ikki is what you would call a āParentifiedā child.
(lol)
Now, in my first Revice analysis post and further expanded in the second; I stated that Ikki parented his siblings and that it affected how he grew up/how he still is to this day. But I never went too deeply into what exactly this meant for Ikki and how it would affect him.
This was, in part, because I was only looking at half the picture. Like I *knew* intuitively what that meant and how it was affecting him, but Iām not a licensed psychologist so I donāt have the *details* on what went on or how exactly it shaped all of Ikkiās development into who he is today.
Now I do.
So letās start defining terms.
(From: The Trauma of Parentification article)
āParentification is defined as the phenomenon where children take caregiving responsibilities and assume such a role for their parents, siblings or other family members, at the expense of their own developmental needs.ā
ā There are two main types of parentification; emotional parentification and instrumental parentification.ā
ā¦.
For the sake of this analysis, Iāll only focus on Emotional parentification, as that is the type of parentification Ikki experienced.
(From Growing Up Too Quickly: Parentified Children):
āEmotional parentification is when the child feels responsible for the emotional wellbeing of others in the family. The child might be depended upon for emotional support from a parent, but not get emotional support in return. They might also be depended upon for emotional support by siblings, for example, if the parents are neglectful or abusive, the child might be the one to make their siblings feel safe and loved.ā
ā ā(Itās) when the child becomes a source of constant emotional support and caregiving to their parent or sibling, such as when they become the confidant or counsellor of the parent, who may share intimate details about their worries and personal lives, that a child is neither prepared nor equipped to know about.ā
(I'll mention the above screenshot later.)
ā¦
(Trauma of Parentified Children):
āOut of the two (types), emotional parentification has more serious traumatic effects.
The effects are worsened and more destructive for the development of the child, the more the care-giving efforts of the child become the normalized expectation that is further not recognized, rewarded or acknowledged by their parents. If there are more than one child in the family, usually the eldest, or otherwise the most sensitive, compassionate and vulnerable, is āchosenā to be parentified.ā
(on why itās so destructive):
"Essentially, parentification means becoming the parent when you are actually the child- thus it is a theft of childhood that can never be returned.
Parentification in a family includes inappropriate, high-level adult responsibilities, combined with unrealistic expectations by younger children looking to older siblings for the satisfaction of their needs to be met. This process is a great danger to the developing child because it depletes the childās resources and constitutes a role reversal and role corruption. It is a huge burden of responsibility that is both uncalled for, and impossible to adequately respond to.
It is actually a form of unequivocal emotional abuse and exploitation that stems from neglect."
(For now Iāll just be directly quoting from ``The Trauma of Parentificationā article <33. Itās so good.)
[Characteristics of Parentification]
Absent Parent + Unmet Needs
āthe parent may be unaware, unavailable, uninterested, or unable to attend to their childās needs. The parent may be physically there, but emotionally absent-ā
āThe child then unwillingly becomes a
āneed satisfying objectā,
that is there to nurture and please their parent and is praised for not having or expressing their own needs.ā
āAll children have basic needs of attention, affection, and guidance by their primary caregivers.
Parentified children are, for whichever reason, forced to grow up early and faster than they āshouldā have. They donāt get to fully experience the carelessness of their childhood, and they learn to ignore and neglect their own needs- simply because there was no real space for this to happen. ā Parentified children learn that this is what a parent-child relationship is supposed to be like- so they subsequently learn that the only way to earn gratification is through caregiving and not expressing their own needs.ā
The saddest part of this section of the article:
āHope keeps them in this position- hope that if they continue their efforts, they will finally be loved and seen; even though more often than not, their hopes remain empty and not granted.ā
Damn this makes me so angry and furious on Ikkiās behalf :///. Wtf.
Referring back to the 2nd picture above; one of the edits is a shot of Ikki & Vice's VOLCANO Theme. Notice Ikki's lyrics:
"I want to feel accepted. -- Though it might be my ego...."
This line really hurts, because it just says exactly what these articles are telling us -- that Ikki wants to feel loved and seen. Even worse, is his next line about it possibly being his ego. Ikki has such low self-esteem that he second guesses his own feelings on his parents' neglect, instead placing himself in the morally wrong category. "Perhaps its not their fault he's not accepted as he is. Perhaps its his own." -- That's essentially what Ikki's thinking.
'Maybe the reason I'm feeling like this, is because i'm in the wrong. I'm not good. I don't deserve it.'
The scene above from episode 12 depicts this perfectly. Here, there is obviously something wrong with Ikki ā even the father says āHey why arenāt you eating? That's rare! You always eat.ā And then the next immediate conclusion drawnā¦.was that something must have happened to Sakura. Of course, Ikki quickly reassures them. And THEN the parents lament about how Sakura usually comes to Mama-san; āThat girl loves to act tough. But itās always clear how anxious she is š š .ā
The look on Ikkiās face as she says this, is absolutely devastating. The face heās making is such a vulnerable oneā¦.its so obvious that he wants his mom to see him too. (See that he acts tough but that heās really anxious too.) But of course, he doesnāt express his own needs. He neglects them, and immediately after seeing his mom anxious about Sakura what does he do? He finishes his meal (so as not to concern his parents), stands, puts on his typical Ikki-smile and tells them not to worry because heāll handle it.
ā¦
[The Effects of Parentification]
Identity development
āParentified individuals may find it hard to view themselves as their own person, since they have been used to always putting their own needs aside. Their identity actually depends on their ability to suppress their needs. In most cases, there wasnāt even the space for them to be seen, listened to and regarded with respect.
Since it is likely that their family already had too many problems to cope with, it is not surprising that they learned to be quiet, voiceless and without demands. In adulthood, this results in low self-worth and self-esteem, and a confusion around what it means to be and express themselves.ā
Self-expression and Self-care
āSince parentified children learn from an early age that they are not allowed to have their own needs or wishes, this in adulthood translates into an individual who has difficulty employing self-care, asserting their own wishes and boundaries, and expressing their True Self.
Self-care may be accompanied by intense feelings of guilt and shame- they are so used to inhibiting their self-expression, that doing otherwise feels wrong, and self-care feels selfish.
In the above screenshot, the moment of Sakura telling Ikki to go to the hospital happens in episode 10. This is right after his fight with Kagerou....who almost killed him.
Ikki's whole world has come crashing down on him, he's hurt mentally, emotionally, AND physically. His sister is even worriedly telling him to go to the hospital, but Ikki just quietly....shakes his head no. He feels guilt about failing his role as protector of the family, failing at keeping everything together. Why would he go to the hospital when this is all his fault? In Ikki's mind he deserves this pain. Going to the hospital right now, when Daiji's not safe at home with them ('because of him') would be selfish.
"They may be driven to please others, have difficulty saying no, because some of the core beliefs that were engrained to them while growing up were āIf I am a good girl/boy, if I am compliant, obedient, quiet and without own needs, then I will be loved/ approved of/ cared about/ not be abusedā.
Emotional Regulation
āChronic stress such as the stress endured by a parentified child under adverse circumstances can be toxic in the absence of a dependable and reliable adult. The child may appear highly capable to tend for themselves and others, very mature for their age, resilient and even wise beyond years- but they lack the safe haven of a secure attachment figure that is vital for the development of emotional regulation.
So later on in life, parentified adult children may struggle to regulate and cope with their own negative emotions, and may develop a high emotional reactivity and sensitivity that makes them susceptible to emotional outbursts.
The screenshot below shows a couple of things.
First, it show a compilation of scenes where Ikki suddenly lashes out in anger. On the top left of the picture, Kagerou's taunting Ikki -- telling him that he's the reason why Daiji's broken, that he's the one that caused it. (That he hurt the family....) Ikki, after taking these kinds of taunts one after the other, can't take this one---he explodes, yelling emotionally: "You're wrong!!!"
Then the top right shows a scene from episode 2. Here Daiji's just asked Ikki to sign a contract with Fenix, and Vice is trying to get him to agree with it. Hearing Vice say: 'you can help him by signing' triggers an emotionally volatile reaction as Ikki yells: "And you need to can it!" Likewise the clip below this scene is also Ikki lashing out at Vice, this time for calling his mother delicious in the hospital.
These are examples of Ikki displaying high emotional reactivity, sensitivity, and him being susceptible to emotional outbursts.
Severe anxiety, depression, psychological distress in the form of mental health disorders (such as personality disorders and eating disorders), substance addiction, and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder may develop as a result- since trauma is often the basis for such implications in adult life.ā
Here we have examples of Ikki displaying: anxiety, depression, and general psychological distress.Ā
Ikki actually has a lot of scenes that subtly show him with severe anxiety. TheĀ āworrywortā scene of course, All the way back up to the second screenshot in this post, thereās a scene where Ikki and Sakura are talking and Ikki tells her (The reason he doesnāt want her to fight):Ā
āFor me, itās because Iām deathly afraid of losing anyone from our family.ā
Ikki, as a parentified child, feels he is the one that needs to protect and make sure no one in the family gets hurt.
Compulsive Caring
These people are very likely to find themselves in similar relational patterns in adulthood. The only way they learned to relate, was through being of service and providing caregiving- so it is extremely possible that they have to be the primary caregivers for their own partners and friends, since they never learned anything different.
The only affectionate bond available is the one where they always must be the caregiver.
Abusive Relationships, Victimhood and Martyrdom
Parentified adult children are more likely to be entangled in abusive relationships later on, out of false hope that if they give their all to someone else, they will be loved. They have been too busy caring for others to process their own trauma, thus they are likely to reproduce it. Their self-sacrifice for others may make them be a martyr to gain love, often being the victim of abuse.
Trauma bonding and Insecure Attachment Styles
Parentified children inevitably develop a distorted image of what love is supposed to be like, thereby growing up to be quite distrustful of interpersonal relationships overall. Complicated attachment patterns emerge as a result.
Trauma bonding is a very destructive implication. Victims of child maltreatment (which also includes parentification) become caregivers of their abusers. This results in the development of a toxic, codependent dynamic between parent and child, that continues in adult life and is extremely challenging to break free from- a process that is greatly facilitated by trauma-informed therapy.
Trauma bonding may result in the development of insecure attachment styles; either disorganized attachment, anxious attachment, or avoidant attachment.
It is not surprising that resentment builds up for the parent, coupled with emotional distancing. Yet an unresolvable longing for the approval, validation and love for the parent still remains, indicating the presence of a disorganized attachment style that follows the person in adult life too, where intimacy is both craved for and avoided, both a longing and a great threat. This sets the ground for pulling-and-pushing patterns within intimate relationships. The individual may be too afraid to come close to others, out of a fear that they will exploit them just as it happened early on in life
In the screenshot above; on the left Ikki displays shock/panic/embarrassment at Vice asking if they should hug -- immediately saying no. But on the left + the middleĀ āpartner?ā screenshot show Ikkiās true feelings when it comes to affection/intimacy. He loves it. This,....is all he ever really wanted.Ā
To not have to worry about anything, to be able to act freely -- especially in the childish manner that he never had the space to display when he actually *was* a child. Physical and intimate affection.....
Thereās no need to guess why Vice giving him a piggy-back ride has Ikki finally showing his first true genuine smile of the show -- 18 episodes in.Ā
...
Otherwise, an anxious attachment style develops. Parentified children did not receive the care to cover their emotional needs, so they remain eternally emotionally hungry. A pervasive, unsatisfied neediness and craving for care follows them in their relationships, though they may be unable to voice their wishes
I bolded here theĀ āeternally emotionally hungryā line here because....well? Doesnāt that explain why Vice wants the eat his family members?? Itās because heās starved of affection + the repressed aggression of being placed in such a position of responsibility at a young age.Ā
Vice wanting to eat them----would be Ikkiās childish craving/desire and need to finally secure and possess their love.Ā
...
Complicated Family Relationships
As discussed above, parentification usually results in trauma bonding between parent and child, where the child both resents but also longs for the parent.
But it is expected that complicated relationship patterns will develop between siblings, too. In a family where the parent is unable to provide love and care, it is no surprise that the parentified siblings often develop symbiotic, codependent relationships with each other, since they only really have each other to fulfil their emotional needs.
:///
Delay in Trauma Awareness
Parentified children may delay to become aware of the trauma they endured, since it was difficult to look inwards and become conscious of their own needs. After all, children are inclined to be loyal and trusting of their parents, even when this hurts. This may make it hard to develop insights about their situation and the effects this had on them.
[Not all bad - Ending article note]
It is not all dark for parentified adult children. Like with all trauma, parentified children are essentially survivors, and as such may possess a greater capacity for resilience and self-efficacy. After all, they did learn from an early age that it is safer to depend on themselves rather than anyone else.
Moreover, parentified children may have a heightened sense of empathy and an ability to closely connect to others.
ā Trauma of Parentification Article
In theawarenesscenterās article of Parentification: Growing Up Too Quickly, Parentified Children; there is a section where the writer talks about how victims of Parentification can overcome it.
(And this is where we need to remember that āinner-childā line from allllllll the way at the start of this analysis/essay/whatever.)
āRecovery from parentification in adulthood involves acknowledging your childhood for what it was and grieving for the childhood that you didnāt have. It involves re-parenting yourself in adulthood; learning how healthy relationships work, learning and exploring healthy boundaries in relationships, and finding ways to let go of burdens and responsibilities that are not yours to carry.ā
Notice what I bolded in the above quote. āAcknowledging your childhood, grieving, and re-parenting yourself in adulthood.ā Is this not essentially what Ikki is doing right now with Vice?
In my earlier analysis posts I posited that Vice was the literal embodiment of Ikkiās inner child, the one he never got to be, and all of these articles just shake my hand in agreement. This is what Vice is, this is why he acts the way that he does, and it is also why Ikki is shown parenting Vice. (Episode 2 ā āThis is not a joke!ā; ā Basically all the episode where Ikki admonishes Vice for something that, Vice being a child, would not know, and teaching him right from wrong. #āNO Vice. We do nOT transform to beat up the people we dislike. And we also do nOT *EAT* people.ā)
Anyways. This is my full Ikki analysis on his trauma lol. I couldāve posted this like 6 hours ago but I was editing screenshots and hOO boi. I hope it doesnāt get too pixelated but I really did my darnedest to make the dialogue readable ;āDD.
Revice Intentional Writing Analysis #5: The genius of episode 4 ft. 3 will be up shortly.Ā

hey alice(can i call you that?) i got to know about the plagiarism situation you faced from sei and im so sad to know that you were lied to and gslit. it was terrible of [beep] to do that to someone, and it's even more disappointing because she doesn't seem to be genuine. the new users on enha tumblr have been turning out to be super untrustworthy. and it's very upsetting to see that people think it's okay to steal from here cause the content is all put out for free and the fact that they "feel bad" only after being caught after constant accusations. personally i have also faced plagiarism and have even caught someone plagiarizing other people and honestly it feels really awful. i can immediately see how these people are not actually always genuinely apologetic rather it's a situation of "oh fk sht i've been caught it's time to hop on to a new blog and a new name" sometimes i feel insecure putting out my works wondering if there's anyone whose using my hard work as their own it's sickening to think they probably have no shame in claiming it as their own and gaining innocent people's trust. idk how many people i trust/follow/look up to or know have scummed to ways of plagiarism but i really hope if they have they stop doing it. and i hope you don't have to come across something like this again. it's less likely though considering the increasing number of incidents coming to light recently. i feel like those who have got caught and deactivated probably could have already made another new blog with a new identity and we don't even know if they on here looking through our blogs, interacting and trying to get moots again. this might be not entirely true but i feel like one among the many reasons could be the average age of our fandom. there are more of minors on here than adults, and that too minors on the younger side as well. it's difficult for some teens to figure out what's not right, one of which is posting someone else's work after modifying it. which is essentially plagiarism but certain minds think of it as not just because they modified it. this is not an excuse or justification but rather im just stating why it could be so casual here. some network admins as well even though putting plagiarism will not be accepted in the rules still keep the guilty ones in the network. i just hope the people who plagiarize and don't feel guilty, someday learn from it. (THAT WAS SUCH A LONG RANT IM SO SRRY I COULDN'T HELP MYSELFšµ) hope you're doing okay <33
hihi !! yeonie, right ?? :o i think iāve seen your jay fic around !! š¤© and yes ofc you can call me alice š„°š (omfg i thought you meant sei plagiarized and i was about to be like NONONONO) but ahh yes itās super disappointing :(( this site should just be for supporting each other and creating content that we like. i wish it wouldnāt have to turn into a chore for people to constantly grind out fics, and i feel like thatās another way people start getting into the habit of copying other authors works :/ but i agree, itās hard to trust because of it but i hope it stops !! š¤§
and iām so sorry that youāve experienced that love, no one deserves that :(( did you manage to get them to take it down?? i remember there used to be a wave of people from wattpad plagiarizing several authors from tumblr and putting all of them in a oneshot book <//3 itās absolutely horrible and i donāt understand why people are so adamant on taking peopleās own creative work like that ,, like the amount of thought and dedication that writers pour into their fics just for someone to copy paste š
and youāre so right šš i already know there are instances of people who start anew after getting exposed for plagiarism and itās kinda scary to think about them doing it again :// i hope recent events set an example and help people realize they really shouldnāt be doing this, but i guess weāll see with time :ā)
thatās true as well !! this fandom specifically has a younger audience so i think itās more prevalent here(??) and yeahh i hope itās reinforced that paraphrasing and stealing of ideas counts just as much :(( taking an authorās intellectual property is just wrong and disrespectful. i donāt know much about network admins but the few that iāve talked to have been really sweet and good about keeping people in line. the ones youāre referring to who let plagiarists slide ,, i do hope they take a stand and stop tolerating such behavior š and i hope they learn from their mistakes too ! at some point ppl have to realize how childish it is to steal work <//3 AHAHHA DW AB THE LENGTH I ENJOYED THE READ >:) and iām doing p good !! just have a lot due for tomorrow HAHAH hbu ?? :o i hope youāre doing alright as well ! and have a great day/night love š·š

ok maybe it's bc i tried sending a pic of my doggie on anonš i'll try to remember everything i said...
sooo those pics are beautiful she's truly so gorgeous š„ŗ is that her kitty? women + kitties = ā” .. rec some twice songs?š
+ i like ladies codes songs but i dont know much about them or your girl! i think my fave is lorelei<3 rec me her solo songs too (ā¼āā¼ ) u like main vocals huhšš hehe
i dont really listen to boygroups bc i hate men but i do love exo and shineeš¤š if u want a shinee rec listen to Orgelā” my fave by kibum is one of those nights(jpn) and bad love and helium and honest and another life and good good and*gets booed* (Ā“ą¼ąŗ¶Šą¼ąŗ¶`)
well i do like songs by boygroups but mainly older onea bx nowadays they all sound the sameš its like trrrrrrrpumpum *loud weird uninteresting synth sound* blalalababa *low weird bad rap* aaaaaA *off key shriek* :/ i go to kpop choreo class and learning where to place the moves in those songs is impossible like girl whete is the rhythm ... Ā ļ½„ąø“ĹĢÆļ½„ąø“Ā
anyway i'll try to send my doggie pic separately(ļ½”āĖ_Ėāļ½”)
byeeeee ilyyy
(totally mysterious anonš)
okay iām putting this under a read more bc it got so long </3
yeah weāre not allowed to send images on anon š you have a dog, though?? i bet itās so cute. i have two dogs, too š did you know momo has an evil little dog? itās super cute, too, even though it sounds kinda like a demon
yes! her name is bbuyo. ikr. women and cats make my heart stop a little like š noo itās true, the majority of my favs are vocals <3
okay! these are my current tops in each category. iām currently listening through and categorizing their discography again so itās constantly changing. my absolute tops, though are: cry for me, just be yourself; 1, 3, 2; doughnut
performances/mvs: cry for me; doughnut; the feels (first performance i saw<3); cheer up
title tracks/singles: up no more; likey; alcohol-free; TT
b-sides: stuck in my head; bring it back; cruel; last waltz; hell in heaven
japanese: just be yourself; perfect world; breakthrough
obviously donāt feel obligated to listen to any of them. but lmk if you like any of them (or if you hate them and why. i love different perspectives on music tbh) or if you like any of their other songs!
lorelei is so pretty. my favs are galaxy, the rain, chaconne, and pretty pretty. lc was actually the group that really got me into kpop. i listened to others before, but they were the group that i really fell in love with first. theyāre on hiatus now since their contracts ended, but theyāve mentioned that theyād love to have a reunion for their tenth anniversary next year š¤
sojung doesnāt have a lot of solo music rn, so iād definitely recommend listening to everything sheās released. itās mostly (exclusively?) ballads. my favorites, though, are: love in the clouds, nothing between us, and itās alright (soundtrack). love in the clouds is her most recent single, and she basically said itās a feel good song to reflect how much happier sheās become in the past couple years (x). sheās been through so much, so iām so glad sheās finally getting to experience so much happiness and peace in her life again, and pursue the career that she wants.
ahh orgel is so nice. one of those nights????? omg i love it?? like genuinely added it to my favorites playlist omg. good good too! i like the others, too, but those two were definitely my favorites <3 i really do like his voice
yeahā¦ the newer groups are likeā¦. idk whatās going on with them tbh? like i know theyāre very performance based, mostly for dance, but likeā¦. the music still needs to be enjoyable ;; but if theyāre difficult to dance to tooā¦ā¦ā¦ anyway, idk any bg music other than txt, but thatās kind of how i feel about itzy. theyāre good performers, but theyāre music kind of gives me a headache. and combined with their sets/bkgs its just overwhelming for me like šµāš«
also to a lesser extent aespa ;; i actually do listen to their music, but iām always like, idk if i enjoy this actually. the lyrics makes sense in the context of their lore but likeā¦ i just donāt know lol. i really like the members, though. i hope they get more songs where they can just likeā¦ actually sing. theyāre actually really good vocalists so likeā¦ let them sing fr š have you heard illusion? you should listen to it. i have so many thoughts about it and i canāt sort out a single oneĀ
thatās soo cool that you do dance classes though!! they sound so fun. tbh idk anything about dancing but i loove watching performances. how long have you been dancing for?
i hope this week is good for you ilyy mysterious anon š¤
#msg#tyy for being interested in the music i like i literally never talk about it#the more i like something the less i speak about it#unless directly asked and then it turns into this š#anyway ilyyy and im glad you saw the full msg before i trimmed it for privacy š¤
