I'm still kinda into the idea that she had a weird comphet kind of ""crush"" on Eric growing up. She'd watch him have girlfriends and want to be them.... getting confused and thinking she could be into him, when in reality she just wants to be somebody's girlfriend. It's not the relationship with him that she envies, it's watching another girl get to be loved as a girl, meanwhile she only feels out of place in every relationship she's ever tried. She can't understand why. It always feels hollow, she always feels like she's missing some crucial component that would make her truly happy. Eric was her only real friend, so she just attached those feelings onto him because she didn't know how to get to the root of the problem itself. When she's dating Stormy. she has this tiny little inkling of a thought, like... what if I was like that girl who was with Eric... but my partner was Stormy... what if I was Stormy's....-

Shaun Andersen knowing she likes girls her whole life but not understanding why calling herself "straight" feels wrong in some weird way. She's not into men as far as she knows, and she definitely likes women, but she doesn't really picture herself with the girl she likes in her own mind, because it messes it all up somehow. She probably didn't really date much before Stormy, and even during that she doesn't really know how to act. She knows all the roles she's "supposed" to do as a "man," but doing it feels like dragging her own nails against a chalkboard

The first thing you have to understand about me is if I can make the slenderverse character a lesbian I will. I get my grubby little hands on anyone and they start turning pink and orange immediately, it's my raw power

I cannot imagine being Michael Andersen dude like imagine having something so genuinely serious and traumatic that happened to your little sibling be pinned on you. Not only do your doctors believe it, and your parents believe it, but even your sibling seems to believe it too, despite you knowing they can see it too, knowing you were both there for the event... you'd start to feel like you're losing your fucking mind, everyone around you telling you the same thing that you don't remember doing- no, you WOULDN'T do that to someone you've only ever wanted to protect and be close to. It's not just your sibling, it's your LITTLE sibling, who probably trusted you and looked up to you. You WOULDN'T do that. But even they seem to think you would, and did. You spend sixteen years agonizing over this. You spend sixteen years knowing your little sibling is lying. You spend sixteen years- no, even longer than that, because it's not like it changes once you're finally free- knowing that it won't save them. That they're running on borrowed time. That they're no different from you even if they're terrified of that reality.

I don't think Michael ever truly (or, at least fully) blamed Shaun for what happened. They were children, and Shaun was terrified because she knows what will happen if she's honest. Michael knows that, regardless of whatever Shaun says about it, she was not safe alone in that house with their parents. She had to walk on eggshells just like he always did. But imagine the amount of hurt Michael felt. The frustration, knowing that denial won't save Shaun no matter how much she digs her head in the sand and sends her videos telling her to "forget about it," as if that's ever worked for either of them. And this entire time he watches Shaun suffer the consequences of her getting severely hurt as a kid right in front of you. You watch her spiral down a path of denial and repression and there's nothing you can DO. Her leg gets weaker, her arm gets shakier, and she only seems to get more insistent that she's fine the entire time. She listens to him less and less and less and she never fucking trusts him, she never just LISTENS TO HIM when it would solve so much- but he's not listening either. They're both trapped in this horrible hell caused by mutual trauma. And Michael just wished from the bottom of his heart that Shaun had been right, even though he knows she isn't, that it's just a terrible way for her to cope. Because the reality is so much worse. The reality is so much more bleak for her, and god that's his little sister and all he ever wanted was to protect her. But he can't. He can't, not until she learns to save herself, and she just won't. God. God. I'm screaming into my own skull. Fuck. Michael and Shaun.

How do you think Heather McComber would react/feel about Stan Frederick and Carmen from Redredhat respectively if she encountered them?
