#of survivors & their r/s w enji

[bitegrip]

forgot sm from bnha, but esp how much i’m loving the todoroki family storyline. i was so refreshed when it came to light that enji wasn’t just a horrible monster of a parent who did every cruel thing imaginable to his children & wife. real familial abuse isn’t like that, usually. irl family abuse & its effects are messy as hell, esp when the family is big. i’m tired of popular stories contributing to the social idea we have that it’s only abuse if it’s violent or otherwise endangers a victim’s health in the extreme, and that all survivors/victims have clear, uncomplicated feelings about their experiences & abusers that fit neatly into a narrative that the un-abused finds acceptable

#not to mention that #bnha's showing a spectrum #of survivors & their r/s w enji #and how it's different for each person #at different stages of their lives #leo vs horikoshi #bnha #enji todoroki #??? #bro i forgot how to tag
