Breaking from my usual artful prose to say that I've been playing HS again more recently and it's actually not the worst... still nowhere near what it used to be. I guess that's kind of inevitable after this long.

Ah, I mean, uh... the sanguine hues of a bleeding girl are unmatched?

How long can this go on type shit

To know you so well, they must really care. To understand your triggers, they must pay such close attention to you. Even to be able to predict your trauma responses, requires a deep understanding. Tell me how that's not beautiful.

My girlfriend is 6ft tall, and there's something endearing about the way she gets a little flustered whenever she sees a taller woman. You are providing a valuable service.

It's fascinating how the conventional trappings of a more traditional abusive relationship become re-imagined in new and far more viscerally abusive ways, once the real freaks get their hands on them.

That's a good point. I heard "bleed better than a real girl" and my brain just sort of shut off and I forgot to remember that it would be a cis man doing it... and not even the idealised version of a cis man in my head but like a real one. Ew. It's just 100x hotter if it's coming from a trans woman.

I mean, I don't know about you, but personally, I'd take the compliment.

Frankly, it might be the hottest art you'll ever see. Not many things are so tailor-made to one's specific situation. The sense of... distance... is palpable.
