so TRIGGER WAENING but i wrote this lil thing about the ten year anniversary of l*wis and trauma anniversaries in general, which i have never seen addressed on svu. please keep in mind that i am in no way “celebrating” this traumatic and triggering storyline. i am simply acknowledging the fact that anniversaries are something which affect a lot of trauma survivors and i don’t believe olivia benson would be an exception. please tread carefully but if you read, i hope you enjoy and/or find peace💜

got the picture from @atticuspoetry on instagram so pls don’t sue me or whatever but over the last few days, i keep scrolling back to it. i’m pretty sure i have seen the quote before and probably even shared it but let me tell you, it hits different when the show that used to be your healing/comfort source is now unrecognizable. when i used to chant “THESE ARE THEIR STORIES” obsessively but now the only stories i want are the ones written by my amazingly talented friends. because let’s face it, we know these characters better than whoever is putting these episodes out. i’d like to argue that mh knows olivia benson best and cm of course is most familiar with elliot but how much power do they have????? it must not be much cause our beloved characters are gone.

shoutout to the survivors who are not forgiving, who do not believe that what happened to them was ‘for a reason’, who know they did not deserve it, who are angry at what happened to them, and who do not show the typical 'good victim’ trope. You all get so much shit from people about how you should act from your trauma because only 'good victims’ are deserving of empathy and support. You deserve so much more than that.

THIS. IS. SO. IMPORTANT.

Kudos to fanfiction writers for writing about all the trauma and emotional and mental turmoil that the original content creators dont acknowledge when putting characters through hell

This has evolved to one of fanfiction’s major assets in my eyes. To every author that cares enough about the characters in their stories to examine trauma, but also the slow, tedious processes of healing and recovery: your stories mean so much to me and other persons with mental health problems. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

THIS IS WHAT MAKES A STORY MAKE OR BREAK FOR ME. it’s so important and it’s sad that amateur fanfic writers understand the importance better than the professionals.
