@amonthofwhump

The last thing they could remember were the runes, glowing as their bloody body dissolved into pure light, raising itself up into the ether.

The memory sank its claws deep into their mind, holding them tight as their newly reformed figure faded back into being.

Blood. The taste of tender flesh on their tongue. Swallowing and choking on it, viscera coating their throat, gagging on the sticky sweet flavor, surrounded by chanting and screaming. A winged beast of beauty, thrashing and bleeding, praying in its own language as its body was dismembered, piece by piece, drained of its ichor, stripped of its flesh and laying in its own gore. Thousands of eyes looking on, yet only one pair found itself carved into their mind, immortalized like a pane of stained glass, the telltale look of life fading away.

They opened their own, pupils shrinking in the light. Cold air licked at their face, the sensation like shards of ice flecking the cornea. They gasped for breath, the air filling their lungs, so bitter and clear it could be described as crystalline.

They shivered. Every movement sent chilling spikes up their body, trembling accompanied by frenzied pins and needles, searing flares of pain seizing their chest.

They squinted, blinking slowly, waiting for their eyes to adjust. They weren’t meant to see this much unfiltered light, had never experienced such searing brightness – but the world began to fade into view anyway. Tall, marbled buildings stretched above them, all sharp corners and towering pillars. Bridges connected those, winged beings overhead using them for transport. They couldn’t look at it for long without hurting.

Turning their gaze downwards where they lay – it was quiet, relatively undisturbed. They were tucked away in a corner where two buildings met, wings bent awkwardly, stuffed in the small space. Feathers that weren’t theirs littered the ground around them, and the ground itself was soft, yet firm, white like cotton. They backed into the small space further, curling their wings around themself.

Nobody was around to see them.

Yet.

Their eyes stung with held back tears, and they squeezed them shut, breathing hard, biting their lip with fangs that weren’t there before. The points sank into their flesh, leaving behind tiny beads of red that dribbled onto the gore already smeared across their face, the blood having become sticky and thick. They brought an arm to it, wiping it away as it dripped down their chin.

Reopening their eyes and staring at it, they shuddered, flicking their arm to shake the blood off. It had already stained their pale skin, leaving a splotchy red mark. The only hope of cleaning it now would be to lick their hand and rub at their arm… and they weren’t that desperate.

Where am I? was a question that wormed its way into their head, despite the aching knowing they felt already. Not a familiarity, of course, but learned knowledge. They’d been taught about it for… months? Years? … No, a lifetime.

The land of the Divine.

They’d made it… and being there already felt like hell.

Surrounded by their destiny — clouds and feathers and bright skies, light everywhere — they only wanted to go home. The foreign layout of the Lands was jarring, and they chanted an internal plea to The Holy One, clasping their clawed hands in prayer.

I need to go back — I can’t stay here!

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’ve sinned, I’ve defiled your creations and have made myself a mockery of them — you must fix me. Please.

No answer came.

It was foolish to assume The Holy One would answer them. It was likely watching them silently, waiting to act, Its all-reaching vision drinking in the sight.

They shivered at the thought. To be observed by The Holy One was to be stripped bare, reduced to the naked truths of the self. An intimate, one-sided knowledge.

Anything but that. Please.

They tried to call out for someone, ask for help, but their voice came out in jumbled, discordant notes, changed.

Grasping their throat, they sobbed, loud broken sounds of despair.

No.

They tried to form words again, more tangled chords spilling out of their lips.

Help me — help me!

Please…

Their cries faded into low, off-key moans, breathy and tired. Their head drooped, six eyes closing as they curled into the fetal position.

They needed to go back.

This wasn’t right.

They needed… to… go…

back…

…

They went quiet, drifting off.

Their wings were so soft, and their mind was so fuzzy… and it was so much easier to curl up and fade away.

Even if they were in a foreign land.

Even if they were an abomination.

A faint melody accompanied their descent into the depths of unconsciousness. It soothed them, drawing in closer, turning urgent and harried yet still hauntingly beautiful. Real.

Their eyes snapped open, feeling a hand on their wrist.

Real –

An angel wrapped a hand around theirs, singing – speaking? – and pulling them up. Their legs were unsteady, weak like a fawn’s; they trembled, their heartbeat turned into a rabbitlike pitter-patter. They resisted the urge to pull away, the knowledge that they were in no state to run causing them to freeze up, swaying.

…Who are you? – they tried to ask, opening their mouth and closing it, remembering they can’t.

The angel stroked their ratty hair, the sound of its speech like a lullaby, soft and reassuring. With a shaky sigh, they let themself slump against their hold, unstable on their own legs. The other’s hands were warm, holding them close, gentle and cautious.

They seemed to understand what they were saying, then.

At the very least, the idea. The essence.

“I want to help you.”

(*Quick clarification, 'cause I feel like I should say this right away, I don't mind people not liking or even being really uncomfortable with certain characters, especially villains that have canonically done some really horrible stuff, even if I happen to really love the character in question! It's all in the Handling of the topic, and someone that's like "oh they're just not my cup of tea" or just don't want to talk about the character at all 1000000% has my respect and appreciation <3)

-claps-

So.

On the topic of demonizing characters that have violent or angry responses to their trauma

The thing about it that really gets my goat is the fact that I as a person have had anger problems ever since I can remember. I've had a pretty bad mix of anxiety and anger problems due to being traumatized, and have had to work really, really hard to get my knee-jerk temper under control, and really nothing fucks you up like thinking you're "fixed" but the reality winds up being you just were in a state of "nothing too stressful's happened lately" and then when things start getting incredibly stressful again, you realize you still have more work to do and you have to watch yourself way more than you thought.

I'm still not "fixed", and, after talking extensively with a therapist, I'm kind of just going to have to be okay with that; still trying to do right by the people I care about and not be an asshole about things, but I'm just going to have to live with the fact that in response to high anxiety and high stress, I become an angry person, and I'm not always going to be able to remember to take a step back from a situation when I feel myself getting heated (my success rate in this is going up at least)

So It Really.

Really.

Bothers Me.

When fandom tries to claim that a character isn't traumatized, or isn't traumatized enough, because their response to that trauma is to be violent and angry and malicious. And when they try to claim that because a character reacted this way, they're just evil and irredeemable and have no further depth to them, and any attempt to add depth (even canonical depth) to them is "wrong (and a sign the person doing it is an Abuser/Terrible Person irl)" or is "woobifying them".

And yeah. Part of what bothers me is that I tend to fall very hard for villain/antagonist characters that handle trauma badly, or otherwise have signs that they probably have some trauma they haven't exactly worked through, especially when that villain character gets to have a redemption arc. (And I do NOT mean that as "they cast away everything they were before and completely denounce and despise who they used to be and go through the whole repent and penance number". Give me more villain characters who are TRYING, who are STRUGGLING, who have conflicted feelings, who aren't an entirely new person and shouldn't be left to just wallow in self-hatred over it because!! no one!! deserves!! to wallow in self-hatred!! I want redemption arcs in the form of "person who did wrong is doing their best to be a better person" and NOT "character needs to suffer and be heartbroken and sad and unable to move on forever", I hate when I see people writing the latter shit, Idc what the character canonically did, no one who's genuinely trying deserves to be perpetually miserable and it is Highkey Concerning to see that attitude happen again and again) Plus, I LOVE media and character analysis, it is MY JAM, and.

Yeah.

I've got a lot of feelings that go into this kinda stuff. It's why when I see "no nuance!! just evil!!!"-type takes, that shit really boils my blood.

And is also why I don't actively participate in fandom anymore.

Like, yeah, I make some posts here and there. And I'd love to interact more with like-minded people -- I really love talking to others about characters and media and ships and all that good stuff!!

But I don't go searching for fandom stuff unless it's some art in a completely different language. After my last two fandoms went absolutely horrifically for me in two different ways, I think my trust in modern fandoms is just gone, and I don't think it's coming back.

There's only so many times a person can be told they're inherently evil (indirectly) or badwrong and stupid (directly) for a simple fucking opinion over goddamn fiction of all things.
