-"bad friends who don't want to deal with their friends venting to them!" When that's not true in the slightest and just demonizes victims of trauma dumping (12/12)

I keep seeing ppl online dismissing the entire concept of trauma dumping between friends bc "Trauma dumping only happens between strangers, so clearly anyone who says their friends are trauma dumping on them are just"- (11/12)

Can make you feel like a useless ghost, that your actions don't even matter, or it can even make you feel like a bad person bc any attempt to comfort your friend just seems to hurt them more

I'm going in-depth abt this bc I want ppl to know the difference between venting and trauma dumping (10/12)

Or in contrast they'll just outright ignore your kindness and your attempts to comfort them altogether, with them saying, "No one wants to be with me!" Despite the fact that you hang out with them all the time

Obviously, this type of projection and trauma dumping- (9/12)

-your friend is literally bringing up traumatic scenarios 24/7 and blaming YOU for them bringing that shit up

Plus, as you can see in some of the examples I listed, trauma dumpers also often project their trauma onto you, claiming that you're acting just like their abuser (8/12)

-Being labeled as a bad friend. However you shouldn't put up with trauma dumping, even from a friend.

Speaking from experience: a friend CONSTANTLY trauma dumping on you can increase your anxiety, make you view mundane activities negatively, and even trigger your own trauma response bc- (7/12)

(Usually bc they view seeking professional help as a sign of weakness, not bc they don't have the means to seek help)

So they often put the burden of emotional labor and counseling on their friends, and their friends might not tell them to stop bc they're afraid of-(6/12)

-This is bc friends typically WANT to help their friends feel better, and trauma dumpers take advantage of that while never actually letting their friends help/comfort them

Trauma dumpers bring up their trauma endlessly but refuse to go seek professional help- (5/12)

"-just like my abusive husband. He's never communicative and he never wants to do anything with me and when he does do something with me he doesn't talk to me at all. Why does everyone hate me? Why do you hate me?"

Ppl often trauma dump on their friends, not strangers,- (4/12)

-"dead, abusive mother that way..."

"Damn, my seatbelt keeps locking up..."

"I don't like wearing seatbelts, they remind me of a man putting his hands on me."

"Let's go see a movie together!"

"No one ever wants to do anything with me, you're just pretending, you're-" (3/12)

That's perfectly normal, HOWEVER it becomes trauma dumping when you relate EVERY TOPIC OF CONVERSATION back to your trauma

Some examples:

"I love going to the beach!"

"I hate going to the beach bc I don't like showing off my ugly disgusting body, I'm a lot like my-" (2/12)

No actually trauma dumping can absolutely happen between friends and it's not healthy

Like it's fine to vent to your friends especially when you start it with smth like "Hey can I vent?" Or "Dude smth totally shitty just happened to me"- (1/12)

Also I know it was a bit of a long shot but I was kinda hoping that Mike would get some type of mention in SOTM, especially since SOTM takes place so close to the Bite Of 83'

Like Springtrap/William Afton can't stay gone for a single game and yet Mike can't even get a reference?

I love it when ppl act as if neopronouns just aren't an option at all despite the fact that a lotta Hispanic enbies use neopronouns (elle) to describe themselves

Anyway this is why normalizing/encouraging neopronouns in ALL languages is important

\\ suggestive

I'm way too obsessed with Tenna I need to be put down

Why hasn't ANYONE talked abt this?? Like srsly this is the most blatant physical appearance of Gaster (more blatant than the Mystery Man sprite) and literally no one in the fandom acknowledges it at all??

Why isn't this sprite in the Gaster wiki but [redacted] is??? 😭 (2/2)

[ #utdr #gaster ]

Ok I need to talk abt this

This Gaster Follower is holding a piece of Gaster in their hand. There is a creature in their hand and they LITERALLY say “I'm holding a piece of him right here!”

And the creature is smiling just like the Mystery Man sprite (1/2)

[redacted] probably isn't related to Gaster at all bc if it was, Toby would've removed it just like he did with the Gaster Followers

Which does make sense bc [redacted] was seemingly just a placeholder used to test the WD font and the horse stable (2/2)

[ #deltarune #undertale #gaster ]

Also Gaster was removed from this merch while [redacted] wasn't, even tho [redacted] is commonly theorized to be Gaster and Toby Fox removes ANYTHING related to Gaster in merch, even the Gaster Followers

Which kinda implies that- (1/2)

It'd make sense if they both used they/them pronouns, since both their names are pretty androgynous from a Spanish perspective

Like El-Nina ("El" = masculine "the", "Nina" = girl)

And La-Nino ("La" = feminine "the", "Nino" = boy) (2/2)

[ #deltarune ]

Lots of ppl misgender Kris so I doubt most ppl will care abt this detail but I just wanted to highlight that Lanino uses he/they pronouns :]

I couldn't find any evidence of Elnina using she/they pronouns, however- (1/2)

[ #deltarune #undertale #gaster ]

It's rlly interesting that whenever Gaster is removed from merch, he's usually replaced by stuff related to the player (save points or a right side up heart)

Especially since Gaster seems to feel genuine love and connection to the player

Not to mention Kris' implied history of violent tendencies (as indicated in the egg/shadow mantle sequences), Toriel allowing Kris to have their own personal knife, Kris self-harming, Kris' trauma with the bunker

Yeah the adults in Kris' life failed them pretty hard tbh (4/4)

And her allowing Kris to disappear for most of the day is likely how Kris got mixed up with doing Carol's dirty work bc KRIS DOESN'T HAVE A TRUSTED ADULT IN THEIR LIFE THAT CAN STOP THEM FROM DOING STUPID SHIT WITH OTHER ADULTS (3/4)

Asgore was fired from being chief of police likely due to his inability to find Dess

Then Asgore and Toriel had a divorce, with Toriel getting primary custody of the kids

But whoops Toriel has an alcohol problem and thinks that her kids going missing for hours is normal actually (2/4)

[ #deltarune #deltarunespoilers ]

Starting to realize Kris and Asriel's childhoods were/are way more messed up than I initially thought

First their close childhood friend Dess just fucking disappeared without a trace and this caused the Holidays and the Dreemurs to drift apart (1/4)

Also sorry for the shitty pictures, I don't have WiFi anywhere so I can't import the screenshots onto my phone -_-

#deltarunespoilers

Haven't finished the new DR chapters yet, but I found smth pretty weird in CH3

Anyone else find this? It's a secret version of the mini game you play with Tenna, it seems to recreate the Snowgrave route, but I don't wanna spoil too much

Oh that's a rlly neat way of showing this new angel's age! Like she's classist bc she was literally born yesterday and hasn't learned how to not come across as rude in angel society yet
