This is a surprise tool we can use later

When writing toxic family dynamics

Toxic family stuff isn’t always screaming matches or broken plates. Sometimes it’s quiet control. The expectation to shrink, the pressure to be perfect, the guilt that rides shotgun. It’s complicated. And it’s deeply, deeply personal.

✧ Make the love real, but conditional.  One of the most damaging things about toxic family is the illusion of love. It’s not “I love you no matter what.” It’s “I love you when you obey.” Let your character notice that.

✧ Control shows up in micro ways... Who’s allowed to speak. Who’s allowed to feel. Who apologizes first, even when they’re not wrong. Control doesn’t need to be loud. Sometimes it’s a raised eyebrow or a guilt trip.

✧  Let them question reality. Toxic families are great at gaslighting. Your character might constantly wonder, Was it really that bad? Am I being dramatic? Let them doubt their own memories. That internal confusion is real.

✧ The guilt will be crushing. Leaving a toxic family doesn’t feel empowering at first. It feels selfish. It feels wrong. It feels like betrayal, even when it's survival. Show your character grieving the fantasy of the family they wish they had.

✧ Let them try to earn love. Your character might work their ass off trying to “be good,” hoping maybe this time they’ll be enough. Toxic families move the goalposts. Let that break them a little.

✧ Show emotional whiplash... One moment everything is warm and nostalgic. The next, it’s tense and full of landmines. That unpredictability is the dynamic. Use it.

✧ Don’t make the villain cartoonish. Even the abuser might think they’re doing what’s best. They might bake cookies and say “I’m just worried about you.” That’s what makes it so damaging. Write them like people, flawed, manipulative, real.

✧ Let your character unlearn in layers. Even after they leave, they still flinch. Still fold under pressure. Still crave approval. Recovery isn’t clean. But it’s worth it. And when they finally say no, even just once, let it be electric.

[peachyapples25]

Happy love day!!

Happy Valentines Day! Happy Mail-in-time Day too for those who celebrate! (Haha!)

We have a smidgen of items on our Ko-fi! So I hope you enjoy this little Valentine too! (Both because he's 12 apples tall but also I wanted to draw something quickly!)

Thank you Matt for being such a great puppet! I’m gonna miss the old puppet and Eclipse Dynamic, but I’m very excited for this new one!

Ha! I bet of Sun and Moon saw where ol’clipy is now they’d be speechless XD

[peachyapples25]

These were fun!!! Also! Can we acknowledge the fact that Eclipse literally created 3 other animatronic characters but is instead the father of 3 ghost children! XD

But honestly I’m LOVING all of it! The whole dynamic is so perfect! Can’t wait to see how it progresses!

[peachyapples25]

Ignore the “Good Vibes Only” because this episode was anything BUT good vibes!!!! My heart BROKE for Sun! I really hope moon is good to him throughout all this! He didn’t deserve it!

Puppet is numb and ready to be done, Eclipse has TONS of pent up rage and PTSD and no outlet for it, Sun is severely traumatized and will probably never be the same, The Stich Wraith is missing, and Foxy is gone! Ahhh! EAPS HOW DARE YOU 😭

[peachyapples25]

HOLY CRAP! My jaw dropped after these last few events! Solar openly acknowledging he’s an Eclipse and his growing relationship with Jack! AAHHHHHH!!!

[peachyapples25]

Woah it’s been a minute since I’ve had time to draw anything! Anyways here’s my latest! It’s our new banner 😋

The latest TSAMS episode made me laugh so hard! Sun and Moon acting like siblings makes me so freakin happy :3!

[peachyapples25]

Puppet slowly losing his mind is killing me! I don’t care what Eclipse says, he cares about Puppets well being!

[peachyapples25]

Apples is injured.🍎
