Luther Hargreeves is a very complex and we'll written character. You guys are just too busy making fun of his trama to notice. I'm not defending him, I'm just saying he spent 4 years in the moon in isolation- only to find out it was for no reason. He has the body of an ape and throughout the show it's clear he has body dystrophia. Yes he acted terrible to the others and that in unexcusable, but please don't have fun of his very real tama. Luther is my least favourite but it still hurts when I see people making "dAd SeNt mE To tHe MoOn" jokes. No matter what kind of person someone is, it's not okay to make fun of their trama. Stop being assholes.

SHEĀ TELLSĀ HERSELFĀ THEYāREĀ NOTĀ REALĀ NIGHTMARESĀ ,Ā Ā usuallyĀ inĀ theĀ veryĀ sameĀ breathĀ sheĀ hopesĀ forĀ goodĀ dreamsĀ .Ā Ā itāsĀ casualĀ hypocrisyĀ ,Ā Ā toĀ denyĀ sheĀ canĀ isĀ toĀ ensureĀ itĀ wonātĀ happenĀ .Ā Ā usuallyĀ .
jarvisĀ isĀ nextĀ toĀ herĀ whenĀ sheĀ needsĀ himĀ ,Ā Ā likeĀ heĀ alwaysĀ knowsĀ whenĀ sheāsĀ inĀ troubleĀ .Ā Ā graceĀ wakesĀ withĀ aĀ half - screamĀ ,Ā Ā half - chokeĀ onĀ uselessĀ airĀ .Ā Ā herĀ chestĀ hurtsĀ ---Ā Ā whyĀ ?Ā Ā
sheĀ feelsĀ fearĀ ,Ā Ā sheĀ knowsĀ fearĀ andĀ itāsĀ notĀ likeĀ thisĀ nightmareāsĀ neverĀ happenedĀ beforeĀ .Ā Ā butĀ everyĀ timeĀ sheāsĀ layĀ inĀ theĀ darkĀ andĀ staredĀ atĀ theĀ ceilingĀ ,Ā Ā sheāsĀ doneĀ soĀ aloneĀ .Ā Ā
butĀ graceĀ doesnātĀ evenĀ haveĀ theĀ optionĀ toĀ sufferĀ inĀ silenceĀ ,Ā Ā sheāsĀ grabbedĀ inĀ aĀ mostĀ familiarĀ wayĀ andĀ pulledĀ againstĀ aĀ plasticĀ chestĀ .Ā Ā heāsĀ warmĀ ,Ā Ā notĀ quiteĀ homeĀ yetĀ butĀ heĀ couldĀ beĀ .
āĀ Ā iāmĀ fineĀ ,Ā Ā iāmĀ fineĀ ,Ā Ā iāmĀ fineĀ .Ā Ā āĀ Ā thoughĀ heĀ respectfullyĀ disagreesĀ .Ā Ā graceĀ isnātĀ aboutĀ toĀ beĀ letĀ goĀ ,Ā Ā sheĀ realizesĀ withĀ aĀ longĀ andĀ somewhatĀ thankfulĀ sighĀ .Ā Ā afterĀ aĀ momentĀ orĀ twoĀ ,Ā Ā sheĀ putsĀ herĀ foreheadĀ toĀ hisĀ shoulderĀ .Ā Ā āĀ Ā iĀ didnātĀ meanĀ toĀ wakeĀ youĀ .Ā Ā ā
ughhhhh okay this is in response to very little but i feel like itās important to note that graceās ability to compartmentalize her emotions and deal with trauma quietly is not necessarily healthy.
i feel like thereās an emphasis on abuse and trauma survivors to deal with their emotions in ways that wonāt upset those around them, to be as grace is; happy and positive outwardly with no sign of struggle. any internal issues should be dealt with internally, other people should not have to see them. this isnāt actually a good thing, nor is it fair.
graceās ability to quietly process her emotions, to remain compassionate and open due to a number of different factors does not make her more human than her children who have also suffered. different people respond to situationsĀ differently and thereās a reason why i donāt think sheās doing particularly great on the inside. pretending like nothing is wrong matters more than actually healing to her. this is bad.Ā
behind closed doors, she has breakdowns. she breaks things of value to her, she doesnāt feel ownership of the intense, negative emotions sheās now living with. unbridled hatred and intense love have always been possibilities for her, sheās just deeply repressed after almost thirty years of hiding it.Ā
grace and her methods to live with whatās been done to her rigidly align with what is expected of her. itās also, coincidentally oppressive and unsustainable.Ā
Who is going to sit next to gracie on the sofa in a hand-knit sweater and watch metropolis with her.
