#this is all jist trauma man

[dubacheryking]

I'll be honest gang if u aren't reading IT with the understanding that it's about childhood trauma and how it shapes u as an adult and prevents u from becoming a fully functioning, independent, balanced individual then we aren't reading the same book

This has probably been said so many times but diet culture and fatphobia and this obsession around weight and weight loss will never not horrify me!!!!

I say this as someone who has family members that struggle with disordered eating, where being thin and losing weight was encouraged, and some family members(alright it was my mother) kept making jokes about how I was fat (especially as a kid, especially when I fucking underweight, which I was for most of my childhood, and the jokes didn't stop until recently no matter how many times I told her to stop).

It's just. Fucked. I remember that a few months ago, I lost some weight because I caught a really bad cold or whatever, and I didn't really feel like eating. My mother proceeded to tell EVERYONE about the fact that I lost weight and how I lost weight, until I had made it clear a million times that I didn't want her to do so.

Do you think bnha treats the male victims of abuse narritavely worse than the female victims? (sorry if this sounds like I'm pitting them against each other or invalidating the female abuse victims in the story)

I've been reading your metas on how Horikoshi mistreats Deku in the narrative by sweeping Bakugo's bullying under the rug and meta posts by other fans dissatisfied with the way Dabi and the Todofam abuse as a whole was handled and I started recalling discussions on twitter how Denji from Chainsaw Man is a male victim of abuse, whose abuse is taken seriously by the manga and the mangaka, but not by most fans.

No absolutely not. I think MHA treats both of it's male and female abuse victims horribly. I have never viewed it to be something about gender it's just that horikoshi doesn't know how to handle abuse victims character whether thd abuser be a character he likes or hates.

Now I guess I can kind of see where this idea is coming from because the series itself shows us more abused male victims than female ones so there's definitely something there but even the female victims like toga, Rei himura or Eri aren't treated any better.

I remember getting ask that literally made me have a morbid realisation and it stated that Dabi ended up just like how Rei was in the beginning of the series. Also Rei never actually gets to escape her abuser either. She is still stuck as enjis caretaker and that's honestly tragic.

Toga's abuse is actually given the attention it deserves so she is probably the only character whose done a bit of justice in that area.

Eri still ends up getting hurt and used whether she is with the heroes or overhaul. The girl literally mutilated herself to make herself useful for her quirk to be used and you get the jist of it. This isn't a good look at all especially if you look at her history.

Now there are a lot male victims who have been abused like izuku, Dabi, shoto, hawks etc. Now these characters have much more screentime than the female characters but never actually get that part of their character focus on or they don't even bring it up so this just ends up making their characters feel so one dimensional and makes them badly written.

I honestly recommend you read @sapphic-agent post on bakugo and izukus relationship or her other posts about bakugo in general which are great in my opinion.

When it comes to chainsaw man fujimoto consistently recognises the abuse that denji goes through and (even though I haven't read csm) makes it clear that this isn't normal. It's usually the male audience that end up brushing denjis abuse or trauma to the side for example I have seen multiple posts talking about how what himeno did to denji wasnt a big deal or how makima never groomed denji.

Denji's character somewhat reminds me of hector from castlevania and how some fans would say that Lenore and Camilla did nothing wrong or that they never exploited/abused him.

Law is sooo much into Corazon but he rarely speaks about his parents. What do you think about this? 🤔 I mean he didn't get a Tattoo with "Lammy" on his body but is covered with Corazons signs. Its a really unhealthy obsession almost. 👀

I dont think it's an unhealthy obsession, per se, I mean, Corazon is the man who saved Law. The man who taught him what love is. When Law was filled with absolute despair, and turned to the Donquixote pirates to fulfill his desires to cause chaos and wreak havoc to others, Corazon was the one to pull him away from all of that. Corazon made it his life mission to ensure that Law lived to see another day, and I don’t think it’s a bad thing for Law to hold him close to his heart and to surround his life with motifs about the man who changed his life for the better. 

And regarding how we never see him talk about his parents, that can be attributed to the way that Oda writes the story. We don’t see Law in his day to day life. We see him when he is with the main characters, and Law is not going around making an effort to talk about his trauma and his parents to everyone. If we had an anime that was completely Law centered then I’m sure we’d see him talking about his parents more. He doesn’t even talk about Cora much on screen either. We rarely see him converse to anyone about Cora, his thoughts usually spoken to himself or to people who know who Cora is. Doflamingo and Sengoku know who Corazon is, so of course Law is more inclined to talk to them about him. They dont know his parents, though. No one knows who his parents are; it would be weird for him to just randomly bring them up in conversation. Though I don’t doubt that he does talk about them to his closer friends, just once again it’s an issue of we don’t see him in his daily life enough to form that conclusion.

i kinda rambled about this but you get the jist

TW/CW: talk of dissociation, and trauma

Head Cannons of Ghost Riley with a Civi!S/O who deals with dissociation:

Ghost:

~This man has most definitely dealt with dissociation himself so he understands

~While the reason he dissociates is different he is able to be empathetic

~If you didn't tell him he would still notice

~He would see how sometimes you stare off into space for prolonged periods of time

~How sometimes it will take you a good minute to process that he's talking to you

~If you did tell him one of his first questions(imo) would be 'How do you need me to support you' [I don't think he'd say it like that, but that's the jist of it]

~If you asked him to call and/or text you if you've been in the bathroom for more than twenty minutes (if you're not showering ofc) he would, he'd definitely set a little stop watch on his phone

~If you asked him to help ground you when he found you spaced out on the couch or something he'd 1000% help with that

~This man would be the best weighted blanket you can't convince me otherwise

~If you were dissociating while somewhere important where you need to either be on your guard(He thinks that's everywhere, but he's got you covered on that) or pay attention he'd hold your hand, squeezing it every once in awhile to bring you back to the present

~He knows what it's like to be stuck in a loop of your trauma while dissociated, so he'd know when you were keeping yourself busy or sleeping just to keep out of your own mind

~If you've been dating for a while he'd offer to listen to your trauma because he knows getting it out of your brain is better than keeping it in(no matter how little he listens to his own advice)

~If you weren't comfortable talking to him about it he'd get you a journal to write it down in

~If you only felt comfortable talking to him about it vaguely he'd still listen

~Even if you just wanted to talk about something completely unrelated he'd listen

~If the reason you didn't want to tell him about your trauma was because you've been invalidated by so many people he'd assure you he wouldn't do that, but wouldn't push you to talk about it

~If all you needed was him to comfort you he 100% would

~We know he's not big on physical touch, but if you've been going out for 6-8months I feel like he'd be a lot more comfortable with it and would be willing to offer it to you even if he doesn't like it much himself

~He understands that sometimes it's just too painful to be fully conscious, so he wouldn't force you to be

~If all you could do was hum in response with a slightly pained look on your face his heart would absolutely break

~Behind his balaclava he'd have a worried expression on his face

~He'd sit down next to you and tug you closer, wrapping his arms around you

~I don't think he would talk to you, unless you'd been out of it for 45+ minutes

~If you've been dissociated for that long I think he'd bring you out of it at that point

~Knowing that it's not healthy to be dissociated for that long

~He'd get you some water and maybe a snack

~If you're tired after you come out of it he'd hold you to his chest, putting enough pressure to keep you grounded

~If you're restless he'd go on a walk with you, holding your hand, and keep you talking so you don't space out again

~All in all he'd be fantastic about it

I saw ur post/ask about epic-legend privilege and common-rare hate and let me tell you the pain is REAL. ESPECIALLY with the ancients specifically getting away with so much bullshit over the years. Some of the kingdom fandom is super dope and some of it is more toxic than Chernobyl

my specific gripe with *that* part of the community around kingdom is just… how much of the nuance of the stories are erased and ignored when you give someone who failed English class an iPad. I don’t like being one of those “I’m smarter than you and ur headcanons are stupid” ppl (from first hand experience they are horrible to deal with good god I’m never logging in to fandom.com again), but the lack of media literacy has produced some dog water takes about the stories of the legends + ancients especially. And I’m emphasizing legends too, cuz OvenBreak community is much less guilty of this in my experience but we gave Sea Fairy’s flaws a pass for YEARS and I’ve only ever seen it called into question when I got back into cookie run late 2023. And the post was from April this year we were tripping for a long time 💀

but yeah anyways! The god cookies have pulled some dodgy shit since launch and I’ve rarely seen it explored within fan works or as part of a character analysis.

Take what you were saying about Pure Vanilla and his involvement of Gingerbrave in the BeastYeast plot line for example. How fucked up is that? Pure vanilla is 1. A grown ass man, 2. Fully recovered from the injuries from whatever story mode shit he was in at this point, and 3. A LITERAL GOD? And guess who he brings to solve his problems. 3 RANDOM ASS KIDS

dude wizard and strawberry didn’t 100% have to go (but let’s be real they’ve been so conditioned to do this quest crap that they’d probably choose to go anyway) but brave? They’re a HEAVILY disordered kid who has endured such fundamental developmental trauma (Almost no one talks about the oven and witch when relating to brave btw and it’s insane but that’s for another day) that it’s morphed into him basing their whole identity on 1. Being brave, and 2. Helping people. Even if pure vanilla didn’t sense anything off with the kid’s debilitating dependency on being brave and Not Being Alone and eagerness to fight and kill and die for people she’s known for barely a minute, you’d think the *adult* man could at LEAST say “hm. This is a dangerous god mission. I shouldn’t bring these kids with me.” There is much more I can say but I think u get the general jist.

PV is not a saint. Him, along with every other ancient, is a cookie with both immense power and important flaws who makes mistakes. While everyone has flaws and everyone makes mistakes, these guys have had more time to grow and power over their lives than almost all other characters in this setting ever will, and the sheer weight of some of these, dare I say, juvenile mistakes have had devastating consequences on families, friends, kingdoms, and even the cookie species as a whole. With great power comes great responsibility, but the ancients have been living life as if no one paid the electric bill, when in reality, they’re running the city’s generators.

YES THANK YOU

Especially the part with Sea Fairy because her obsession with Moonlight literally keeps putting the world at risk

Also if an epic cookie has too simple of a design or a basic story they’re forgotten immediately. Like Lime, Sandwich, Macaron, or Salt.

[ispreadrabieslikewildfire]

Please tell me about Harper and Feena!

OMEHAGUROHMEGAUR OKOKOKOKOKOKOK SOSOSOOSOSOSO (thamk yo uso much TEHE) alao im sorry if this makes NO SENSE im spilling my head into paragraphs and not proofreading rhis is gonna end HORRIBLY but i hope you enjoy😭!

Anwyay so harper and feena started when @thatbiblicallyaccuraterat asked me to draw a silly guy eating monster much and he turned into harper (ill link some pictures to show) and he felt lonely so i made him a friend called feena and theyve been a thibg since then HOLY SHIT I THINK ITS BEEN 2 YEARS?????

Harper and feena r supposed to be my silly ocs that are my go toos when i start daydreaming and drawing! Their not supoosed to have too much trauma and stuff (IM CONTAINING MYSELF) so i camt head empty and harper its also so when i draw them they make me happy they are my happyness. So becazue i cant give them trauma i make altermate realitoes where i CAN give them trauma!!

Im gonna make sections so i caj explain everthing so it can atleast try to make sense

1. THEIR RELATIONSHIP :3

Ok so when i started I made them friends ofc!! And i thought they where cool as hell so i started thinking about their relationship and i was thinking how wierd it would feel if they where a couple so their thing is that their completely platonic and are jist realy close friends that are realy comfortable with each other, i wouldnt say like 'siblings' but more like that one cousin that your realy close with. I like to think of them as denji and power from chainsaw man (however i see denji and power as more of siblings) but no matter how close they get with eachither they dont feel anything romantic :3 i have a thing that when they where 14/15 they where like fuck it lets kiss and they hated it!!!!! they wanted to die!!!!!

I also have different ages for them i draw them as for whatever mood im in! So i have toddler harper and feena (theyve met in primary school) and then children harper and feena (10-12) and then theres also teen (14-16) and preadult idk forgot what its called (17-19) and adult! (20-22) by 20-22 they have an appartment with 2 other roomates nadia and caspian i dont realy have a story for them yet however they do have designs. So basically they jsut spend their entire lives together as besties and this is their main world where their happy and have no trauma and are just silly!!

2. Sexualities n stuff

Well im nor good at this stuff since i realy have no kmowledge but i kinda just peojected me and @thatbiblicallyaccuraterat onto them...

Harper:

Bisexual, he/they. Dyslexic and/or is on the autism spectrum idk i dont think much about this

Feena:

Aro/ace or Asexual i havent decided, goes by anything. I honestly dont even know she is any and all illnesses

3. Childhood and all

So i dont wanna give them a traumatic childhood since their my silly chracters!!

HOWEVER, they do have some sort of backstories.

Feena:

Some sort of religious trauma, her family where 100% praise our lord and saviour jesus christ and she didnt feel part. Knew what she was when she was a teen and after harper came out and was more comfortable. Didnt tell her parents until she moved out, (they very obviously didnt take it well) however is still in touch with them!! Their just kinda realy uncomforable whenever the subject changes to jesus or gay stuff idk.

Harper:

Twas a bit (a lot) stupider than most people his age (austismmmmm) his parents payed more attention to their sisters so that they could have a better education instead of wasting their time on a child thatll never learn and refuses to listen (wasnt diagnosed till he was an adult so they thought he was being annoying purposefully). Tbh just whats a hug LMAO. He came out to his parents, they told him it was just a phase and theylll get out of it eventually.

So ya!

4. The cats need their own section

So ive always eanted these 2 cats, one called jester one called mariposa. So if i cant have them whats better than having my oc that represents me having them?

This is jester! (SHES PREFECT THIS IS HOW I ENVISION HER)

This is mariposa :3

5. Universes

Like i said since i dont want harper and feena to have too much trauma i create new universes for them! Other than my main ailly one theres another 3 i favour out of all the ones i make

1. I made a dystopian after apocolypse one (MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE ITS SO FUN TO MAKE!!) where the aftermath is that the world (well at leats where their living) is split into two, the privlidged and less priveledged (I NEED NAMES FOR THESE I DONT HAVE ANY) anywwy what i think i can best decribe this as is like the hunger games, where theres the 'capitol' and the 'districts' but instead of there being districts its all just survival of the fittest L lmao so yah. So after the apocolypse harper and feena are split up. Feena ends up with the privileged and harper ends up with the less. Harper finds a place he can call 'home' (FOUNDFAMILYFOUNDFMILYFOUNDFAMILY) and feena ends up on the other side where she gets her memories wiped and she then hets brainwashed to belive she was sent down as a gift from god during hard times and everyone is supposed to worship her (tehe i wont bother yiu with any more of this story)

2. Silly little 80s teen ghost busting show like scooby doo with harper feena nadia and caspian

3. detective harper and feena (havent built a lot)

6. I FORGOT TO ADD DYNAMIC

So basically feena can be smart when she wants to but chooses to fuck around with harper, quite a bitch if you guys just met. Pretty resereved when shes around people she doesnt know amd her social skills arent great. If you give her a chance she can be quite nice and passionate. Can ramble for hours on ends

Harper, guys hes trying his best. Loud, can ramble for hours on end too.

And thats all i can think of...sorry for ramblong so much i jist realy love them. i dont expect anyonw to actually read this... Once again this is just me projecting me and @thatbiblicallyaccuraterat onto harper anf feena!

Thank you @rainbowghostcat sososoososo much i love youuahahhah <333

Ill attach drawing of them in the mprning!

[murfpersonalblog]

@uozlulu your tags are making ME wanna cry. 😭

So true--it's why Lestat was so reactive when Claudia begged Louis to "meet vampires WORTHY of your love." That's the whole jist of it--Lestat needs to grow and mature more to be worthy of Louis, and he KNEW he wasn't.

And Louis' not ready yet to admit to either of them that even though he'll take Lestat at his worst ("back to the undeserving Lestat"), he REALLY just wants his man to fight be his best for him. The last time he asked "aren't I enough?" Lestat laughed in his face, so Louis clammed up; thinking he doesn't deserve anyone truly worthy of him. They're both settling for scraps out of fear.

Loustat kept rushing headlong into things as if they're still human, when, as vampires, they have all the time in the world to learn more about each other and themselves; and process their traumas; learn from their mistakes; and be better people for it.

I feel like when Louis finally tells Lestat he loves him, Lestat should be allowed to just burst into tears on the spot like he’s been waiting so fucking long to hear him say that, there should be thick red tears making an absolute mess of Louis’ sweater while he holds him and pets his hair

I know what I want in a man but I also need to hold myself accountable and realize that yes I’m that bitch but I need to be what that man will want as well. If I want a 6’ something nigga, with a nice body, gorgeous as hell, big bag, amazing personality, goofy, loving and caring��what makes you think that man is going to want a me just because I’m beautiful? I believe I’m a good person but I also have things I need to fix. Things that are very aware to myself. Things that I know won’t even attract a man like that because I’m not also shining and reflecting those things back. So my job, my motive, my goal is to be who I want to date. Yes, it is possible to be gorgeous and have a man just take care of you but is that really what we seek? I know for me, I want my best friend. They will have their flaws too, but I want HEALTH in a relationship, I want harmony and chemistry and all the beautiful things that a relationship has. Learning to work on my toxic ways, my self entitlement, my traumas and all the things I know will hinder that is a responsibility I have for myself. So until then, ya girl is gonna be out here getting herself ready, grooming every damn part of her to get her dream guy. And that’s the reallllll jist of being a dream girl…to be that for yourself and for whoever your soulmate is!

[midiosaamor]

okay ima go on a full on RANR about my baby

ok so like the first time i met him i was SOOO mad at him like who tf is this BLOND ass, EMOTIONLESS ass, WHITE MAN goin up in here and hatin on my girl avery right?? but THEN when we started to get into his character emotionally, i started to like him more and actually relate to him. like his stress about becoming the heir? jist IMAGINE you, going through all that trauma, becoming an ADULT as a KID, having the weight of everything on your shoulders all throughout your life JUST for some random girl to come in and take it all just like that? i wouldve felt the same about her tbh. because of that, he started thinking that he was too dramatic. because ALL of the shit he went through was ALL for nothing because tobias decided to give the money to avery. im not hating on avery, hell nah shes my GIRL, but i dont blame him for acting all angsty. not to mention his DAD trying to KILL avery too. he was probably blaming himself all about that too. idk, his character is just so complex and relatable. his fear to actually come out and show his weakness to someone finally, all the stress he had on his shoulders, the girl he LOVED sexually harassing him (yes, when you dont want to be kissed and someone kissing you anyways IS sexual harassment), the same girl DYING and for the rest of his life he BLAMED himself for it, it’s just this whole thing that i love about him yk?

and plus hes just so silly🤔🤔🤫🙏

okay i have a genuine question for grayson stans... what is so good about him? other than the fact that he's like blonde and he's angsty?? i don't get the hype about it sooo

[quirkle2]

jay do you ever think if warriors is in the middle of a big battle like the bloodied warriors drawings you made that legend ever has to help him calm down?? :0 man the feral ones you made are such a far cry from how carefree and goofy he usually is!!! aaaaaa I love them!!!!!!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YES I DO ANON YES I DO

i've mentioned in the past a lot that they Both tend to absolutely lose it if the other is hurt in battle, but i also think abt instances where neither of them r hurt but Something happens in the fight and it makes wars lose it anyway. it could be pretty much anything ?? it could be just a Sound—a particularly familiar way metals scrape together; a yell that sounds like a long-gone soldier of his; the sound of a bomb being lit,,,

it could be smth So small that bothers nobody else at all, but it will instantly take him back to some memory he'd tried to forget. he's suddenly in a different place in his head altogether and he's back in that mindset he'd had to adopt during the war—kill or be killed—and when he of all people gets like that, a literal one-man army, it is incredibly hard to stop him from killing just about anything that moves

it's rare that it happens, but he does occasionally snap into something cold and feral and heartless. sometimes he's pushed over the edge, and ? sometimes only legend can calm him down

the others try ? most of the time wars recognizes them as allies, but on the rare occasion he's too lost in his own head to know who he's slashing at, they Have to get out of the way in order to not get immediately killed. legend is their fastest member. wars is Almost a match, but not quite, and if it rly came down to it, ledge would be able to avoid his strikes long enough to get his attention and snap him out of it

but i enjoy the idea of wars seeing ledge and That's what snaps him out of it. the others have been trying to get his attention, trying to yell for him to stop and it's proven to be useless cuz he's not hearing a word they're saying, but i fuckin adore the idea of legend being the only one wars' mind seems to pause at. if legend yells enough, it usually breaks through the barrier and gets wars to halt and to blink and realize he'd gotten lost in his head

and when he's finally snapped out of it ? he's Instantly panicking. he knows immediately what happened, or at least the jist of it, and he's whipping around to count heads and scan bodies for injuries inflicted By Him. he's actively hyperventilating cuz he doesn't allow himself a Moment of rest between his feral trance and checking the team over for injuries and legend has to grip his shoulders and cup his jaw and force him to Look at him

legend's so ?? it's Scary, for him, to see wars like that. it's scary for everybody, but legend in particular has royal knight trauma, and seeing his best friend, who is a knight, with that heartless, crazed look in his eyes ? it,, it unsettles him so much. legend is Scared of him, in those moments. luckily, they're at the point where ledge knows wars would never hurt him intentionally

and u bet ur ass that wars is so broken up abt losing it on the field. he apologizes endlessly, gets so choked up and guilty abt it, and even though the rest of the chain keeps telling him that they Get it and they understand and they don't blame him, he still beats himself up over it sm. keeps repeating "i could have killed you!" and he's nearly inconsolable

especially if he Does actually hurt one of them. just because that idea hurts me immensely, im gonna say it's never anything more than a simple nick or a twist of a limb <3 but even That . even if he sees a nick on somebody's face and he asks where that came from and they sheepishly admit they'd narrowly dodged one of wars' attacks, he's sofuckign broken up about it.

ur RIGHT anon he's such a goofy and gentle guy and even seeing a Small Cut on any of them, caused by wars, is enough to reduce him to tears. he just keeps thinking that if he'd gone a little faster, if they'd been a little closer, it could have been fatal. it could have chopped their fucking head clean off. That's why he gets so upset. it's how close he got to killing one of his family members

it terrifies him ? he's endlessly apologizing and Instantly unarming himself so he can't hurt them. and it usually takes the whole evening for legend to bring him back to a point where he's calm and not constantly hung up on the fact that he lost it on the field. legend's so gentle w him and the rest of the chain is as well—they're so endlessly patient w him and even if they've said it 16 times in the last hour, they'll keep telling him it wasn't his fault and they do not blame him and No We Don't Hate You Please Never Say That Ever Again

[vethbrenatto]

I just have to word vomit because I jist watched the livestream, but the fact that Beau received one of the very many apologies she deserved for her trauma. And it was from one of the people with the most power in the Soul. And the fact that they're not holding it over her head as a favor. And it was a sincere attempt to make right a wrong. Just. As someone who also has gotten used to injustice under the guise of normalcy. The whole "zeenoth imprisonment" thing meant a lot to me. Also I hope she gets to deck that corn huck of a man in the face. Fuck Zeenoth, man.

That scene, both with Yudala and Dairon, meant so much to me.

I didn’t see it coming at all, especially not now, but it feels so good to have it.

Beau’s storyline with the Soul specifically has always felt a little off-kilter because of her start with it. The fact that the Soul took a bribe from her father in exchange for kidnapping her. It made all those interactions with Soul members- whoever they were- Dairon, Zeenoth, Yudala- feel off. They were an establishment seeking to end establishments and corruption, and yet, by Beau’s very nature of arrival at the Soul, they were proven corrupt. Which makes Beau’s involvement in the Soul even more confusing by nature, as she grows closer with them, learns to love what they stand for, but it still has those roots so closely tied to her abuse. It’s not only confusing for the viewer, but for Beau herself.

This explanation is not only a reiteration of everything that Dairon has ever spouted about the Soul- nothing is 100% safe from corruption, there are always anomalies- but also a wonderful confirmation that it never should have happened. It is against everything the Soul stands for, and one man, one simple corrupt man set the ball rolling that led to Beau ending up at the Soul by force. No matter what, it’s horrible it happened, but by god, they’re going to try to get justice for what happened to Beau because it was wrong.

And the fact Matt did this all by directly responding to Beau’s actions. Beau chose to nurture a relationship with Dairon. Beau chose to divulge what had been done to her by the Soul to Dairon. And Matt, a masterful DM, does what Dairon would do and seeks to right the wrong that has been done to Beau. 

It’s also interesting on a further level that... Beau was friendly with Zeenoth. She wasn’t at first, but over time, they developed a rapport, a sort of mutual respect. And all the while, he was the one who had been dirty dealing, who had worked with her father to kidnap her. He still looked her in the face as she grew from a punk kid to a respected member of the Soul, and he smiled and pretended he hadn’t done all that.

I am so happy to see Zeenoth get the retribution he deserves. And I’m very much interested to see if the Soul has any authority in pressing charges against Thoreau. It’s possible they can only get Zeenoth, since he’s the member who was dirty dealing from within their organization, but man, would it feel good to see Thoreau Lionett punished for pawning off his teenage daughter.

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Now I'm wondering why now and "attempts"👀, I wantr it be sexuality related but I also just wanted to tell his dad what all his suck it and deal with bullshit has done to him... or both please

Nonnie

The now is easy - Eddie has reached a place where he feels ready to deal with that aspect of his trauma. Remember Frank told Eddie to go back to the first trauma and speak to those who were directly involved (I can't remember the exact quote of the top of my head but the jist is right!) Eddie can only heal if he deals with that storage locker of trauma he's been carrying round with him (we saw how he wasn't ready to talk about the shooting in Dumb Luck) so he has to go back to the one thats the first - the one that will probably make it easier to deal with the other traumas in the long run.

The attempts is also easy - you can only reconcile with someone if they meet you half way - if Ramon isn't willing to do that then thats on him, but Eddie will have tried and that means he can know he did all he could to resolved whatever it is that needs resolving and it won't reflect badly on him - he may still carry around some of that trauma, but it won't weigh on him in the same way.

as for the sexuality storyline potential - for me its the only thing that makes sense - the use of the word repression by the dr when Eddie had his panic attack was very pointed - the script writers are very careful with their choice of words - they have weight. Also if you think about a strict Mexican Catholic up bringing where the man is head of the house and there are expectations that men should marry a woman, have children and provide for them, what the head of the household says goes (someone put it perfectly that the male head of the house is the rule maker and the female - his wife is the rule enforcer). If you think about that and living in a society that says that it's not okay to be queer in any way so you have to fight that part of yourself in an attempt to fit in, but you never feel like you've pulled it off. Thats a massive part of yourself that you haven't allowed to be free and at this point what else would make sense in Eddies story - there really isn't anything because he did do what was expected of him - Eddie worked with his father - he got married and had a child. He signed up for the army to better provide for his family (something that would've been seen as good and proper and we saw how much Ramon wanted to bathe in the reflected glory of Eddie's silver star) - those are all the things expected of him.

I just can't see how this need to attempt reconciliation can be anything other than Eddie needing to be true to himself to his father and be okay with whatever the fall out from that is - its Eddie needing to say 'I'm gay - its who I am and I want you to still love me and I want us to have a relationship but you need to accept that this is who I am, that its always been who I am and I need you to love me anyway (Buck parallel anyone!), but I'm okay with you not accepting me just know I won't live my life in denial of who I am any longer.

I got rambly but hopefully that makes sense!

THIS IS SO REAL!? TY FOR THE TAG BECAUSE HOLY SHIT DO I NEED TO PUT MY 2 CENTS IN.

Gingerbrave has always been the but of the joke, especially in modern OvenBreak. Devsisters puts him in so much embarrassing and painful shit and it’s not cool at all.

the updates mentioned previously are really good examples! I have another; The Labyrinth of Remembrance update (5th anniversary).

In this update’s story, Brave and the gang (sans skater and with alchemist since this was already post-retcon) go to the Labyrinth and relive their memories! Yay! They’re Not Fun At All and Very Traumatizing Actually ones, to be precise. and let me just say: Gingerbrave is tormented in this one. Not exclusively by the memories, but rather, also by his friends.

During the event, the kids (especially gingerbright and brave) get more and more disconcerted when they realize the happy memories from their adventures aren’t really happy. This is where problems start; along with pressure from amber sugar, gingerbright and brave’s other friends start blaming gingerbrave for the bad memories.

It’s great you bring up the cheesecake manor event, because it’s actually mentioned in this event as well; gingerbrave is distraught at the memory of recovery from the injury and… well, I’ll let you see the rest

Yeah.

there are a lot more scenes from the event, which I suggest watching here on YouTube, but the main jist is that bright, alchemist, and even strawberry blame brave for a lot of bad stuff that happens. Dick move, I know. And while These kids are all traumatized (sans alchemist to an extent tho, but that’s neither here nor there rn) and I can’t fully blame them, but it doesn’t lessen the hurt.

it all comes to a head in these 2 scenes:

And

this event highlighted many things for me in regards to season 6’s group and why it seems very trauma bonded instead of friendship based, but that’s not the focus right now, the point is that in ovenbreak, especially modern OvenBreak, gingerbrave is the punching bag. Like with the other examples in this thread, this isn’t the only example of people treating him shitty. Brave has suffered so much, and it’s a miracle my man hasn’t become a villain.

let gingerbrave go feral. Let him be angry. Let him be sad. Let him be evil. Let him be hurt. He is a CHILD, and this conflict and aggression has been his life from the moment he’s opened his eyes

Okay something I noticed about ovenbreak gingerbrave

He tends to be ignored

Not just by the fans but by those who are supposed to be his friends

In the rougefort update they literally cared more about the jewel compared to an injured CHILD

In the April fools donut ball saga he was left behind by his friends in a castle as a donut ball for a year

And I would like to point out how serious this is

Again he is a CHILD he also is a completely new species, he most likely won’t know if there’s any underlying differences in anatomy or diet, also he has no legs. What is brave most known for? Running. And he cannot run, that’s the whole gimmick of the donut ball update. And he wasn’t just abandoned by stranger no he was left behind by strawberry and gingerbright. His FRIENDS.

Also this may be slightly over exaggerated but the second fashion week update is an example

True he was a main part of it.

But he didn’t want to be. He was voted in

This CHILD was told by so many cookies that they think that he’s ugly and needs to have a makeover.

And even when he said no. He was ignored and forced to walk over to the first shop

Just something I noticed

TW: Mentions of trauma, killing, curses, and toxic relationship (sanzu)

P.S Characters are 18+

RAN HAITANI

Like Mikey, this man will shit his pants

You weren't calling him nor texting him. He knows he doesn't call or text you that much but that isn't enough reason for you to leave him.

During the first 2 days he was searching everywhere for you ALONE. Yes you read that right...He searched for you ALONE.

When he found out you were actualy missing He asked help from his men.

"ALL OF YOU WILL LOOK FOR HIM AND IF YOU DON'T I'LL MAKE SURE TO KILL ALL OF YOU!"

All of his men and even some of his followers from Roppongi searched everywhere for you.

You were found shivering and crying in an alleyway from Shibuya.

When his men reported they saw you, he ran there like his life depends on it.

As soon as he saw you, he hugged you tight. You were shivering because of the traumatic experience.

"I killed them...Ran...I killed them...."

When you told Ran the story of what happened, he comforted you and told you, you had to do it for survival.

You guys cuddled in that alleyway for about 1 hour, when you were tired from crying he took you home.

He stayed by your side the whole night but at the same time he ordered his men to find the person who traumatized you and kill them.

"How dare them fucking scare you...I'll kill them"

RINDOU HAITANI

We all know Rindou is cold hearted but ever since he met you he just melted.

When you weren't answering all his messages and calls, he didn't understand and even asked his brother if he did something wrong.

Ran comforted his brother saying maybe you were just busy.

"Ran, It's been a whole fucking day...He is usually updating me even if he is busy..."

At this point Rindou is freaking out, hands shivering, teary eyed and all his older brother can do was pat his back and comfort him.

After a few hours of not answering, he got tired of waiting. Ordering his men and even asking kakucho for help, They all searched for you.

No sleep, No eat, No drinking. HE DIDN'T GIVE UP SEARCHING FOR YOU.

"Sir! we found Y/N! He was in Shibuya----" He didn't even let his men talk and rushed to go and find where you were.

When he found you, you were hugging yourself as his men were trying to comfort you.

Rushing towards you he hugged you tight, this man is a big softy for you so he started crying when he knows that you're here and alive.

"I kille my friends...Rindou...I'm a monster..."

Rindou tightly hugged you as soon as you told him what had happened, while you were busy explaining what had happened, he ordered his men to find the culprit and bring it to him.

"You did what you had to do...What's important is that you're safe..."

SANZU HARUCHIYO

I'm sorry for all you Sanzu Simps...

I don't see Sanzu ever rescuing you, searching for you nor even worry about you. LMAO

He's fellow executives would frantically ask where were you since you always visit the Bonten hideout so you can hangout with Sanzu and just flirt.

They all know Sanzu doesn't treat you right, that's why they treat you even better especially Takeomi, Kakucho, and the Haitani Brothers.

When they found out you were ACTUALLY MISSING they were the ones to actually look for you...while...you know...Sanzu...didn't care.

When you found out that Sanzu didn't even looked for you, you broke up with him and now you were in the care of 4 Handsome men who would treat you right.

"I don't care as long as you're not Mikey"

SOUYA KAWATA (ANGRY)

We all know angry is 'EMOTINALLY UNSTABLE'

When you weren't answering him through your call and messages he started crying nonstop.

He will cry while searching everywhere for you

"Y/N!! Where are you!!?"

While searching for you he would start questioning himself 'Did I do something? but Nee-san said I didn't...where is he??'

While walking he heard light sobs in a corner, looking to check it out he saw you...

His heart sank from seeing you shiver and crying, when you looked at him you were the one who rushed to him and hugged him.

From the shock of seeing you he can't move and started crying even more, after a few minutes he then hugged you back.

"Y/N....you're safe..." He cooed as he rubs you're back trying to comfort you cause he wasn't the only one crying, you were crying as well.

"I killed them, Souya...I killed them cause I was selfish..." He was shock to hear this from you but he knows there is probably a reason why you did that. Instead of confronting you and asking questions he just waited for you to explain it to him.

After explaining him everything, he stayed by your side. He understands what had happened, you had to kill them so you can be safe. Selfish? yes...but it was for your own safety.

"No matter what happens, I will be here...Don't worry Y/N"
