They don't fully believe whumpee, at first.

Sure, they were hurt. Horrifically, even. There's no denying the scars. But the things they describe? There's just no way someone could do such horrific things to a person, and there's no way a person could walk away from that. There must be embellishments, hyperbole, some misremembering.

Then they find the tapes.

Pedestrian traffic lights

[sjorsdottir]

Ooooh, we have a bunch of really fancy pedestrian traffic lights in Germany! I need to share:

Starting off with the difference between formerly Eastern German traffic lights (upper images) and formerly Western German traffic lights (lower images):

The city of Erfurt had some additions, like an umbrella or a heart:

Ok but consider, whumpee being rescued/escaping and realizing the world has moved on without them...

Their partner/spouse has started seeing someone else, believing whumpee to be dead. Bonus if the new partner is less "damaged" than whumpee, making them feel even worse about what happened to them.

Their apartment/house is occupied by new inhabitants, potentially leaving whumpee homeless.

Their place of employment simply replaced them with a new hire, and whumpee has to find a new job with a huge gap in their resume, depending on how long they were tortured for.

Their friends have all moved on, perhaps even finding a new friend to replace whumpee.

Their family has converted their bedroom into a storage room, and maybe even gave some of their things away, believing they weren't coming back.

Their favorite restaurant/coffee shop/bar/etc. has closed down, and whumpee can't even go there for their favorite food/drink after being tortured for so long.

Oh yeah and add all the trauma from being actually whumped :)

the human mind is prone to catastrophizing when left unoccupied. And that’s why it’s important to always have a little Blorbo to rotate in your head. It acts as a protective charm of sorts to redirect your imagination away from harmful spirals

thoughts without Blorbo: oh my god I was so cringe in seventh grade why did I do that

thoughts with Blorbo: I haven’t considered the interactions with bleebus; I must rectify this immediately

it's not enough to just sit in the water. you have to agitate to cleanse.

I would actually go as far as to say that MOST abuse is unintentional. I think most people will go through their lives without ever experiencing intentional abuse. People are abusive because they're selfish, because they're stressed, because they care more about what society thinks they should do than the impacts of their actions on their children and partners, because they think what they're doing is correct, because they've made it make sense in their own heads, because they think they can fix their victims, they think they can fix their relationships, they think they can stop you from leaving, they think they can make you a better partner to them, they think that means you need to do what they want. We've sort of constructed mental illness in a way that doing this shit to other people counts as a form of mental illness because it is anti social behavior in the literal sense— it is behavior that causes social harm.

I don't say any of this to excuse it. I think everyone needs to be more aware of this because if you think abuse has to be intentional you will never realize you are capable of abusive behavior. You will never realize you are being shitty to the people you love, because YOU know what you mean, YOU know you don't mean any harm. But you're doing harm. You need to pay attention to the impact you have on other people, and you need to do it all the time, Especially when you feel least capable of doing so. Sorry! You live in a society. Get your head out of your ass.

[caspercryptid]

This is also important because if you don't understand this you will fail to realize you are in an abusive relationship and/or fail to convey to your loved ones that they are in abusive situations. "My partner can't be abusing me, they love me!" If you think those are mutually exclusive you will rip yourself apart failing to recognize the situation you are in.

dean taking on the burden and responsibility of driving as a form of care and protection. he can't control others on the road but he trusts himself to be sharp and alert and keep everyone safe. if something goes wrong it's on him and he will carry that guilt. also dean had to learn how to drive young, way before the normal age. and that is likely in part due to the fact that there may have been times when john might not have been fit to drive, whether because he was drunk or injured. this is another area in which dean was expected to be responsible and dependable.

[angelsdean]

#god yes#and let's remember dean's literal DREAM#his recurring dream#that he gets to learn to drive at a normal age#that john treats him like a normal teen boy#and is kind and careful and encouraging#and gives him a secure and loving start to his driving career#which has to exist as tacit contrast to what it was actually like#too rushed too young too stressful#john not giving him any grace#just pushing him to get it down so he can add this to the list of dean's responsibilities#so the fact that dean continues to carry this labor burden through his entire adult life#because he comes to view it as this labor of love#and getting that scene where he teaches jack to drive later on!#how unbelievably proud he is to give that soft entry to driving to his own kid#aghhhh#i will never be over it (via @notevenalittle)

exactly exactly you get it
