When The PTSD Kicks In

…when the PTSD kicks in

had time for a doodle between commissions, why not Levi? :)

Jean once again distracted while protecting Reiner. People need to ship them more, seriously. They're so adorable. A perfect story of forgiveness and finding your way to someone who believes in you.

Yes, your worldbuilding is thorough, your geography meticulous, your plotting elaborate, and your characterisation nuanced, but answer me this: is there a fucked up little guy?

It's sad, but I find myself increasingly side-eying and avoiding folks in online spaces who talk about exclusively wanting "cozy" fiction and complaining about media that has any kind of conflict or reflection of societal ills.

Because while there's nothing innately wrong with enjoying media for escapism into an aspirational setting, the people whose media diet is exclusively cozy/soft/wholesome/hopepunk/utopian too often are people who somehow lack the capacity understand that not everyone consumes media because it reflects the world they want.

So there's enough overlap between the cozycore crowd and the people who somehow think that enjoying media with conflict or catharsis in it makes you a sociopath (because clearly if you read about something, it must mean you condone and support it and want it in the world!) that I just don't wanna dance that close to the hornet's nest, yanno?
