#trigger mention

In my previous analysis, I said that Kutner doesn’t reach out to anyone or journal or do anything for his mental health after wh. He just stays home alone and watched tv and eats cereal.

But what if staying up, rather than going to sleep, is a coping mechanism? You can’t have nausea-inducing nightmares if you didn’t go to sleep in the first place.

Is this a super healthy way of dealing? Eh. But I really like the notion that Kutner has a lot of experience dealing with his trauma. Following things back to their source. Finding ways to cope.

As you might know, I make a point to post about kink education and kink positivity

(Partially BECAUSE it is a huge trigger for me personally)

Hence, I created the tag #we are kink positive here sir

I still and will continue to tag for ‘tw kink’, ‘kink tw’, and ‘kink mention’ or ‘bdsm tw’ ‘tw bdsm’ where applicable

Occasionally I might tag ‘safewords tw’ ‘tw safewords’ - I can explain that but I hope I don’t have to since context should suffice to give you the gist of things

Because like, weeks after being freed from the virus, Vanny could just show up after hours at the daycare with like no reprocusions as long as Sun isn’t around. She is a 5′4″ human women in a felt rabbit costume, and Moon is like an eight foot tall animatronic who could kill her with complete ease but he is scared shitless of her. He unfortunately got to interact with her personally a looot more then the others, and yeah no she is one big ol walking trigger. Meanwhile Sun is grappling with feeling protective rage for the first time ever.

He’s felt protective of Moon before, but it’s always in a worried way. But like whenever he hears about Vanny from his brother Suns immediate reaction is “This bitch again?” and that’s a new feeling. Moon is usually the one to get the violent protective urges, so this is a very new experience.

Does someone get to them in time? Firefighters, or a worried neighbor that heard the faint cries for help?

Then the recovery from the smoke inhalation:

Needing Bronchodilators to open up always, and Oxygen to aid breathing.

The general difficulty of struggling to breathe long after the initial smoke inhalation

The worry for a lung infection early in the process of recovery.

Being unable to be as active as they used to be

Forced to do breathing exercises even if they are painful or uncomfortable

Then the fear of fire:

Lighting candles and other small fires can trigger Whumpee’s experience.

Like what if they got candles on a cake for their birthday, or if someone else threw a party and didn’t know about Whumpee’s fear of fire

Seeing fires on television, or in random places

Whumpee and Caretaker on the move and needing to light a fire because it is too cold otherwise, and Whumpee not having it.

Not being able to handle gas stoves or indoor fireplaces
