it's weird to be in a place where one thing might trigger the fuck out of you so hard it ruins your whole week and makes you at least briefly reconsider your entire life direction, BUT then at other times you feel so desensitized to it that you laugh about dark shit and only later tell yourself okay whoa calm down edge lord that was kinda Much.
anyway i had a moment where i realized in the same way some authors make all their characters mary sues, depressed authors make all their characters depressed, gay authors make all their characters gay, i make all my characters traumatized by childhood sexual abuse WHOOPS
