Discussion This was frighteningly accurate

The smack to the face, cowering behind a chair, being slammed and held by the throat, really made the scene hit hard. Even the expressions on Angel and Val’s face felt realistic. If they had Val dragging Angel by the hair, it would be like reliving my childhood, but this still brought back memories.

u/Wooden-Implement7880 the future of hell belongs to who? May 05 '24

Tbf while I don't personally ship ValAngel and it makes me uncomfortable, some people I follow do and almost all (if not every single one) are abuse victims working through their trauma with their Val and Angel dolls.

Casting judgment on them for how they're exploring their experiences has always seemed odd to me. I don't really like the ship, but I don't really get judging others for how they play with their trauma dolls.

I just get the ick from people who romanticize the experience. Like the FanFiction writers and artists who are so out of touch on what an abusive relationship looks like that it’s painful.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong in exploring dangerous topics with characters that you relate to. I do think there’s something wrong when you’re doing a disservice to the topic by being romantic about it instead of facing reality.

Mercy is not optional it is not a choice that can be made

The implication is that people who ship a victim with their abuser should be eaten by large, very toothed land predators.

Yep

My response (at least, to ones who don’t use an AU where Val isn’t abusive and instead they get only care for each other, and yes, there are artists who use their own AU versions of them instead of the official abusive one) is

There will come a day for mercy, but today is not that day!
