having very very vague thoughts about dhmis and the family as the site of violence
#YES even the non-normative family they have#it’s still a Certain Type Of Structure Imposed By A System On Them#and the dynamic that their ‘family’ has to have is one where certain harmful power dynamics must always be maintained between them#the narrative requires that they all play certain roles in the family and those roles inform how they interact with and even inflict horror#much like how our world’s normative nuclear family teaches us to internalize power structures that play into other oppression#so what i’m saying is that maybe#them defining what they are as a family after seeing the horrors that ‘family’ can imply might be intended to be troubling?#while still standing on its own outside the larger context of dhmis as a message that family does not always have to be the nuclear family#two readings can be true at the same time and especially in dhmis#am.txt#dhmis analysis#dhmis#these thoughts are really unformed rn so they’re in the tags sorry#anyway this all comes back to my ultimate reading which is:#the only way for them to truly break free is to come to see each other as equals and as PEOPLE instead of pieces to fill a role#quotes hell is other people but so is heaven again
