anyway one more thing and ill shut up about it for a while

someone pointed out how in every single place you can find an iteration of care, shes got a box of crayons.

and that like care virtual pet thing tony was working on in i think? 2013? and posted on twt

shes got em there too

forgive me for looking into it probably too hard, but so much of the story both objectifies and dehumanizes care in various ways. abuse, trauma, the whole loss of eyebrows being symbolic of a loss of identity or sense of self. care NLM covering her face. all that.

its kinda comforting seeing the crayons everywhere like. theyre hers! its something thats hers! its something that doesnt get taken away! everything hurts and they try to erase your entire path and identity through rebirthing and amnesia but you still have something thats yours! they failed to erase you entirely and theyll never be able to!

#tongue #petscop #it also makes me think of paul and being trans and people sround you trying to stomp that out of you #care covering her face only to be told 'those eyes that nose. its still you'#'youre not lost. stop wandering and come home'#'i called you several times and you didnt come. do i have the wrong name here?'#stubborn about it because its not something someone can just stomp out of you #physically or emotionally #even if the awful people in your life think they can beat the transgender out of you it doesnt ever work #youre still a boy even if they wont stop calling you by the wrong name #even if theyre controlling snd try to keep you under their thumb for your whole life you still have something to hold onto #something thats yours #its your box of crayons #its identity that theyll never take away even if they think they did #when they do that they dont even see you as their own child at that point #its like a daughter is just a thing to them #hence the whole objectification thing
