There are times I fear I do relate with Tucker depending on how people write his emotions and the difficulties he has handling them. Be it lashing out, bottling things up, pretending everything is ok till all it takes is a singular conversation that causes him to break out into ugly sobs.
And it makes me realize how much he's probably hiding in the show itself. From hiding how he's handling from basically being SAed for an alien to be born, to his problems handing the loss of Church, Wash getting in his business, him being a leader for Chorus. Everything.
There's so much to unpack that this is why I LOVE fic writers because y'all make so much beautiful angst and how the character handles it like OUGH YES MAKE ME RELATE SO I CAN SOB MY EYES OUT!!
And I do.
I cry.
Because it's scary how writers nit pick his personality that the ugly, unwanted, emotionally unstable feelings just surface that the realization hits that he's very relatable that I just cry along with it. But it's done in such a way that it's lovely, it's well-written, and such a beautiful form of characterization that people who watch RvB, just don't see unless they interact with the fandom.
Anyway yeah this fic of Tucker suffering from night terrors is making me emotional cuz of him hiding his feelings. It's Tuckboose, mind you. With implied Blue Team Poly.
