I'll Unfold Before You What I've Strung Together

@harukubo

An archive for HaruKubo / Haruka Tanaka content. Haruka is a fan character created by me (@captaincassiopeia) for a fan sequel of the Laika film Kubo and the Two Strings. Here I will post art, writing, theorizing, character information, songs, anything that I find inspiring or relevant! I'm hoping to have a fully fledged fic up someday...

Ugh, this is one of the best things ever

this song has been a big inspiration for developing kubo’s characterization in my fanfic, now that kubo is an adult and living with his trauma.

i’m wanting to put a lot of emphasis on the long term affects of childhood trauma, and you don’t go through what kubo did in the movie and come out of it completely ok. the focus will be on growth, healing, love, and recovery.

I forgot to mention! “Eight” is definitely a song that represents Kubo at the beginning of the story, but “Moving Forward” is a song that is representative of Kubo’s healing and how far he’s progressed at the end of the story.

“Hi! I sent some Harukubo fanart a while back (http://captaincassiopeia.tumblr.com/post/156028000617/so-i-have-have-this-thing-called-the-yakubo-au), but ahhh my art kinda sucked back then, so I wanted to share an updated version! Also, the AU kinda updated a bit: Kubo’s now a busker, but he smokes sometimes bc of stress. Anyway, this here’s just Kubo and Haruka. I hope it’s okay!!!” - @userl4me

When people tell stories about how their parents beat them, it’s always interesting to see their face change because they expected me to say “me too lol” but I instead say “I’m really sorry. You didn’t deserve that” Last time a co worker who also has West Indian parents was telling me in a joking way how he remembers being beaten with a belt because lied about his report card. As he was laughing it off and saying he deserved it, I just said “wow that’s awful hun. You didn’t deserve that.” And his whole face changed. Like it hadn’t occurred to him that it’s messed up that a part of remembering his childhood is remembering how badly it hurt to be beaten so badly at such a young age. Another time I had a friend, non West Indian parents, who talked about how she made a mess on a dress that her parents got her. It was really expensive apparently and she spilled red juice on it. She talked about how she was ordered to take the dress of and was beaten with a belt too without any clothes on. And she was laughing and said “I was a bad ass kid lol” and I said “no hun you were just a kid”. And she looked at me and immediately stopped laughing and just sat there like “yea…I was just a kid. I don’t know why they did that to me” My mom was raised in a household where she was beaten so badly….I just don’t understand how she is so loving now growing up in a home where she got so little love. They called it discipline, but once she became a social worker she began to see that it was abuse. That she grew up terrified of her parents, although they thought it was respect that my mom felt. It was fear. We have to get comfortable challenging what is often seen as cultural norms. We have to be a generation of people who are not ashamed to say “I would never beat my child”.
