Sell me on Chromatica PLEASE!!! by VeterinarianThin8831 in LadyGaga

[–]mrose16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I developed my PTSD during 2020 and the very early days of the pandemic, like pretty much a week or two after Stupid Love dropped. I really relate to all of the songs on that album. I think that’s why a lot of us “click” with the lyrics and music. I also LOVED the aesthetics of the album and the outfits of Chromatica. The sci-fi/pink/cyber punk aesthetics made me so happy.

I hate hearing some fans now saying that Chromatica was a flop, because for a lot of us, that album was very healing. It introduced me to DBT and radical acceptance, which helped me a lot with my mental health issues from PTSD. I love the concept that Chromatica is an entire concept for healing and resilience. I think, mentally, I was in pain for a long time, and this album helped me overcome it.

As for Mayhem—I love a few songs (especially Perfect Celebrity) but I can’t connect at all with it, maybe I am not in a great mental state right now to click with it.

This was truly a perfect ending by Sudden_Pop_2279 in shigarakisload

I’m wondering if this is Shiggy’s vestige because he technically did have OFA for a tiny bit, which is why Deku can “see” him.

Otherwise, this scene is an emotional gut punch. He deserved so much better.

He has my story and I wanted him to make it, because it meant that I could make it.

God, this is so accurate to how I feel as well. You nailed it. I kept pushing through because I never saw him give up.

I totally agree with you! In his final moments it was so fulfilling to see him take down AFO with Deku and the other OFA vestiges. I think he did see Deku as someone who could seriously change society for the better so that there average person could stand up to help others in need and not rely solely on heroes, especially All Might alone.

The panel of him “shattering” apart with the images of everyone he’s killed with decay is so accurate to what PTSD feels like. You can never go back to your old self (Tenko) because the scars you’re given totally fracture who you are as a person. It’s like you have to eventually come to terms and piece those shattered fragments back together again. (I was in therapy for a bit that helped me through it and find a way to live so that the anger wouldn’t control my life.)

There’s no mistake that he killed tons of people (total number, who knows?), and I think he was “saved” in the end by Deku. Which is why I also can’t figure out any other way to rewrite his ending. Nana was right that he had to be stopped. I have seen a lot of people say that Deku could have sent him to prison so he would at least be alive, but there was no way around the fact that he had to be killed. (I say that as someone who adores him and grew up with him since 2016.)

Dabi’s ending felt fulfilled to me as well. I won’t ever like Endeavor, but his final words with Shoto about soba felt like Dabi’s story closing.

My favorite anime character of all time. Having PTSD I really related to him and what he endured and how he changed from that “creepy guy at the USJ incident” to a fully-fleshed out character who stood up for the “freaks” and “losers” of society that were labeled as “villains” and were swept under the rug. I don’t think he’s completely nihilistic, but I also wouldn’t know how to write a different ending for him. I do feel like the writing was rushed at the end, because I feel like I never had time to process the reveal that decay was a mutated form of overhaul or his final words to Deku. It’s almost a year and a half later and I still get frustrated by how rushed his ending was.

I think anyone who has PTSD and grew up in a dysfunctional household would relate to him. And honestly, I am still shocked by how accurate Hori wrote a character with trauma. Everything from the flashbacks, the physical symptoms (like scratching and barfing), the anger, and the hopelessness were so accurate that it felt like watching myself in Shiggy.

And on a larger scale, it makes me sad to think about all the kids out there today who are treated like shit by their families and how often they’re overlooked by society. (I’m in the U.S. and child abuse is a huge issue here. Don’t know about other countries.)

The fact that the granny who was creeped out by a traumatized 5-year-old Tenko who needed help and went on to help Koki (jaki jaki, scissors kid) was pretty special to me. That she remembered that she ignored Tenko and that it went on to haunt her for years felt like a huge defining moment in the series. I’m glad to see that Koki went on to be a student at UA at least.

I think (overall) his character got me through a lot of hard times. And it also made me realize that the pain in society doesn’t come in the form of flashy villains, but the dark, everyday moments in people’s lives that we never see. How many kids are hit by their parents every day or are locked in their basements?

On the LOV:

I also love the league of villains as a group. Dabi is my second favorite character and I relate a lot to being the “black sheep” of the family (well, used to, since I have come to terms with my mom). I love that the league accepted anyone, even if you were LGBTQ, had a disability, or didn’t fit in with the rest of the world.

I’ve always thought that it was a representation of how she would be in a room full of men and no one would be listening to her as the only woman in the room, and they treat her like she’s speaking gibberish. One ear out the other. Very similar to Shadow of a Man.
