Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
I hate it when the happy ending for characters with trauma is that they get into a relationship with someone, getting into a relationship doesn’t just suddenly erase the traumatic memories and experiences.
Trauma isn’t something that just goes away because someone now loves and cares about you, sure it may hurt less but it’s still there at the back of your mind, so it’s very upsetting when a character is suddenly okay now that they’re in a relationship. ☹️
Also, I don’t like when people make it seem like the other person understands their suffering, because no they don’t. They can sympathize sure, but they cannot understand the pain and horrors they went through. This is why a ship from a current fandom I’m in is a NOTP of mine, it’s because of the fact that this dynamic is literally the whole thing with that pairing.
