Every single survivor is different to each other. Everyone responds to trauma in their own way.
Some will just flinch when you touch them, and some will scream at you to get your hands off them.
Some respond to attacks by going quiet and not fighting back, and some will become quickly defensive and argue back straight away at the slightest hint of an attack (real or not).
Some will never speak of their trauma and hide it forever, some will bring it up casually in conversation.
Some will cry when they talk about it, some will be emotionless and flat.
And we need to support them all. Trauma isn’t pretty. It doesn’t always make us “soft”, sometimes it makes us rough, hard, and angry. But we’re still traumatised. We still need support.
My favorite moment with my D&D group so far
They met a Demon at a crossroads, he said they had to make a deal with him or he would steal their souls. The Fighter was like, “Hey can you just wait for 5 seconds for me?”
Demon’s like: “Alright.”
Five seconds later the Fighter says “Alright our deal is complete”
???
“What do you mean our deal is complete?” said the Demon
“Well I asked you to wait 5 seconds, then you agreed. Since you waited 5 seconds, that means our deal is complete right?”
The Demon is in shock, and so am I, the DM. This fighter just out-tricked a freakin’ demon deal by telling the demon to cool his heels for a moment I couldn’t believe it.
And this is when the demon decides to becoming a recurring pest to the party, or a legitimate threat
He actually did, he sent a “bounty hunter” chain devil named Gnev after the party.
The Bard seduced him.

WARNING!! DO NOT READ "ALLEGEDLY" BY TIFFANY D. JACKSON!!
Recently, I read a YA novel, “Allegedly” by Tiffany Jackson. Overall, the book was wonderful. It included many POC, stories of abuse, and was critical of the flaws of the American juvenile justice system. I loved it.
BUT.
There was one part that really tore at me as a lesbian. There was a character, a side character, whose only purpose was to be a “perverted lesbian.” In literally every appearance she makes, she is written to sound predatory. Her sexuality is the only thing about her. In one scene, she spies on the main character as she showers. In another, she attacks her fuck buddy for being straight. Everything about her is geared toward showing her as a disgusting human being.
She is the only queer character in the novel.
Please, please, please do not read this book. This author deserves no recognition or money. Let her and her homophobia fade into oblivion.
you’re working in a field you genuinely enjoy. you have supportive, loving friends. you follow your passions, you’re fluent in your target languages. the 12 new books you ordered will arrive soon. your flat is cozy, decorated with plants and fairy lights. you’re happy. this might seem like some fantasty, but i know this will happen. i believe in you, and you should as well.
i really wish platonic relationships were more important. i’m tired of losing friendships because i’m less important than their significant other. i hate that i’m automatically not as close to my friends because i’m not the person they’re dating/sleeping with. and i hate how whenever i complain about it the response is “you’ll find someone too someday!” like no I shouldn’t have to “find someone” to feel loved and important, maybe we should stop promoting investing all your time and effort and physical and emotional intimacy into one romantic/sexual partner idk
You know when you clean your face really well and exfoliate and stuff and your face feels ten pounds lighter and clean and kind of raw, that’s how I want my heart to feel
WAT
Fuckin rad that’s what!
