I picked up the Clone Wars: Battle Tales comics compilation, and mostly loved it (official clone-centric content still being released in the 2020's??! Hooray!!!). However, what happened to this poor li'l clone named Bellow was NOT OKAY. ☹️ And so HAD to be fixed in my "Gently Twinkling Stars" universe! (Fic version here!)

…In other words, the monster spat Bellow back out (because armor does not taste nice, and also gets stuck in the throat). He was understandably still traumatized, but he got washed off and bandaged up by Kix, and recovered with a lot of TLC from him and his best brother Hardcase (and likely mutual understanding from Cutup, who also lived in my fanart + fanfic AU, as y'all very well know by now).

And yes, as you can see, this means Bellow will be joining his 501st brothers as a Jedi Temple resident clone post-war, in my fanart + fanfics! Hardcase is giving him a tickle, because it's my headcanon now that Bellow got his name from how he always bellows (happily) when his batchmates tickle him (which Hardcase is especially fond of doing). 😊

one thing i noticed on Tumblr is people with trauma feel very entitled to tell people to kill themselves or say whoever hurt them deserves to die. its honestly disturbing. regardless of what was done, those arent healthy or healing thoughts to have. came across a post showing a letter saying all dentists should kill themselves and people in the comments agreeing bc of dental abuse. which is serious, but i dont think that makes it ok? no dentist deserves to be sent that kind of letter. im so sick of people projecting their trauma into everything. people are complaining abt Zoomers not being parents, but tbh, as a Zoomer, i dont think any of these people should be parents. i fear what theyd teach their children.

but like these people wonder why forgiveness is a thing. people who try to practice forgiveness dont usually tell anyone to kill themselves or say someone deserves to die. yeah i'll be told im "invalidating their trauma" but this is what happens when theres TOO much validation. trauma survivors arent gonna break like glass. lets normalize calling out their toxic bullshit even if its "insensitive" again lol.

Too many people use "trauma", real or imagined, as an excuse to be a piece of shit to anyone they want. Honestly I think the biggest underlying problem with American society is how many people are constantly refusing to ever take responsibility for any of their own actions. Most of our societal and political problems stem from that mindset, imo.

not only that but they see any move towards healing as anathema. it's like they think if they hold on to their trauma all the bad people will get their comeuppance, and forgiveness and healing will let them off the hook. what's that saying? holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting it to kill the other person.

you don't forgive to let the the person who wronged you off the hook. forgiveness ≠ reconciliation. you don't have an obligation to give them access to you when you forgive. you forgive so the wrongdoing doesn't control you anymore, doesn't define you anymore. regardless of what you think you're doing, what is actually going on is that you are obsessing, and you are letting your thoughts, feelings, and actions be dictated by that trauma.

that is neither healthy nor productive, and the person who wronged you is going to go about their life without any thought to what they've done while you're raising your blood pressure, alienating everyone around you, and sending yourself to an early grave.

it does not have the effect you think it does.

Somewhat related, I've grown wary of the term "toxic positivity"--while I do acknowledge it can exist in limited cases (like someone insensitively telling a weeping person "cheer up, let me see a smile!!" in the midst of their grief), it will probably be abused as a handy code phrase for "Don't you dare tell me anything will get better, I demand you to validate me by joining in my screaming and fist-shaking that everything is awful, and my life is awful, and I have the right to rage and hate everything and everyone around me, raaaaahh, if you attempt to comfort me with hope rather than sobbing with me and telling me I'm absolutely right, you're invalidating my pain and being a toxic-positive bully!!1!"

You should be able to listen to a full album without looking at your phone. You should be able to watch a 3 hour film from beginning to end without checking social media. If you can't do this, you need to start training your attention span as if it were a physical muscle. I don't experience boredom or restlessness because I've trained my brain to not be dependent on quick stimuli and dopamine hits. If you can't chill on a park bench while waiting for a friend with just your imagination to keep you company, you need to learn how to do it ASAP because one day we may not have access to the internet.
