Well well well. Isn’t this a nicely written, full circle of emotional trauma and a started healing process. I mean it. Feeling… Everything and freezing is real. Feeling good, even great is awesome. He has scars, they need to heal, we all know I’m talking about physical and mental “scars”. Really. Like, learning to love again and learning how to bw intimate without feeling guilt. I can’t really expresa how much I loved this, but I hope this somehow covers it!
Well, I can’t write apparently, so, I’m just gonna say again, that he needs to learn to express his emotions. And don’t be afraid to be weak. To cry. I can’t tell you enough how much I want to punch everyone, who thinks emotions are “girly”. Like. Fuck off fucknut. Emotions are humanly. We all should let ourselfs feel. Like, when I was sad before, I was trying not be sad. Aaand it turned out brilliantly… My bf said, that I should feel, but not dwell. I like his advice
Yeah, uhm, sorry if I was too wordy. Happenes sometimes, when my mind gets some info and can’t stop thinking
Thanks so much! Frank would be so overwhelmed by having good things in real life. Usually when he has them, it’s before he realizes he’s in a nightmare. What’s that shit he said to Curtis--happy is a kick in the balls waiting to happen?
That’s the thing I love most about this show--he does experience his emotions, he’s intimate with the people he cares about and isn’t afraid of that. It really helps this show stay away from being a macho, killing machine power fantasy. Keeping that shit bottled up is what’ll kill him in the end. And you can never move past it if you don’t feel it fully first.
I’m glad you liked this fic! Thanks for reading <3
