TRAUMA RESPONSES! cause my boys have been abused and they should have trauma responses:
Regulus: he was beaten almost every day. It got worse after Sirius escaped. He got out in the summer of fifth year.
Reg has panic attacks if he thinks his mom discovers something about him.
He get nightmares so he goes out to fly most nights because he is scared of going back to sleep.
Reg has too many scars to be counted. He knows how to fight a crucio because he had to learn at age 13.
Don't move too fast, too suden or raise your voice or Reg starts dissociating.
Was punished if he showed emotions so he can't get himself to cry or talks about emotions, just shuts up and pick his fingers until blood is running from them. He started painting just to have something on his hands.
Evan: he wasn't much physically abused, but more verbally and neglected.
Evan whole existence is based in keeping the name Rosier alive so his parents never really saw him as a child.
He get REALLY uncomfortable without timetables or rules (even if they're broken later) cause his life is based on a plan.
SO MUCH INTERNALISED HOMOPHOBIA.
Evan threw up the first time he THOUGHT of a boy in a romantic way. Regulus took him to Remus and Lily and it took him almost a month not curse himself everytime he had gay thoughts. i
It was really difficult for him to accept his homosexuality even though all his friends are gay.
The first time he kisses Barty, he punches a brick wall just to punish himself. he doesn't listen when Madam Pomfrey scolds him for breaking three fingers.
Doesn't know how to act with physical touch. It took him two years to hug anyone. Pandora made her personal mission to discover him all the little things. Evan discover he loves his hair touched.
Barty: REALLY neglected. His father never hit him cause he didn't want scars but he got really creative with the punishments.
Barty has been starved so many times he doesn't know what a normal diet is. He either eats too much too fast (never knows when his last meal is going to be) and ends up throwing up or doesn't eat for days because he no longer feels hunger.
All the problem with the food gave him body dysmorphia.
Barty can't stay still because he was kept in his room for days when he acted out. He loves quidditch because he gets to stay out until late and is the first time he has known freedom.
The worst punishment was the time his father made him mute for a whole summer when he was 12. Barty has nightmares about it and tends to put a hand around his throat to feel his vocal cords vibrate. He becomes really loud as a way to compensate. He only whispers around his friends because he feels safe.
A punishment his father loved was to keep him standing with heavy books on his hands. Barty develops a tremble in his hands after being punished a hundred times.
Barty doesn't know what is caring for his well being, doesn't know what appreciating life is. Doesn't have problem getting into fights he can't win because he has a suicidal mentality. (He once asked a guy two years older and a like seis inches taller to hit him until he passed out because his dad tried to set him up for a government summer job. He spent two week in the infirmary and lost his interview for the job. He didn't understand why Regulus was so worried about him).
Barty has a lot of anxiety and starts smoking when he is 14 to ease it. When it stops working, he starts smoking weed. He even tries cocaine once, but his head pounded for hours and his nose bled so he never tried it again. He always gets high or a little drunk to cope with his dad's howlers and letters.
