[psychotrauma]

sitting here with my hc that quynh loves to document and has been caught out writing down andys feats before they managed to quash it into a fairy tale book. she can come up with the best stories to tell, about anything and anyone, at the drop of a hat. there's more than a few manuscripts in proto-vietnamese that showed up in places they definitely shouldn't be, making historians scratch their heads about intercultural exchange hundreds, if not thousands, of years early.

dont like quynh being made a monster for her trauma response but i also love the concept of this endless torment having burned her ability to relate to others 'normally' near out of her head. i want her to have trouble relating to others because what she's gone through is all consuming and takes up her thoughts even when they're months, years, decades down from getting her wrenching herself out of the ocean. i want her to be 'abnormal' in the sense that her reactions are intrinsically unique to her, and her grasp on the world as someone that's immortal without the gift of the release of death. she contains multitudes but they've all been worn down to how it feels to be crushed under an ocean and to breathe death with every second, which doesn't create multifaceted personalities.
