research for 2hcb1 is like 30 percent revisiting canon lore and 70 percent watching therapy videos because *gestures vaguely at Lambda and Asbel* you've got a lot to unpack there, huh 😅

#dolphin noises #2hcb1 #wips #shoutout to the YouTube channel Cinema Therapy ive been watching them for years. Therapy thru the lens of media analysis is 👌#I'd recommend them to literally anyone bc its free therapy but especially anyone trying to write a redemption arc #psychologically understanding a villain's motives and what is needed to reconstruct their behavior/worldview is huge #for making it feel believable and earned. There's so much good advice here like #Conflict occurs when views clash and neither side is willing to see that they might be in the wrong #Everyone has reasons for what they believe after all. And many times they apply those reasons to others' lives too #So they aren't truly listening when the other expresses their feelings and instead feel like no one is listening to THEM #Major change will not happen overnight. Self awareness is required to even realize that a change is needed #Often coming in the form of painful consequences. 'The pain of change must be less than the pain of staying the same' as CT says #Thats why change is more likely to happen in the aftermath of strong emotions. Feelings confuse logic and they need to be dealt w first #You can't force anyone to change nor are you responsible for their behavior. It has to be their own active choice #But if you can't/dont want to walk away you can set clear boundaries and try to demonstrate the behavior you want to see #Perspective taking active listening and a healthy break are all good for changing one's worldview too #Anyway those are just a few of the takeways I've gotten from their videos that are all relevant to 2hcb1 #I'm attempting to apply these principles without using 'therapy speech' as it were. I HATE that in media 🙄#I don't want characters to talk abt their feelings like they're reading a wikipedia article on depression or abuse :/#But I think I've crafted a pretty good Power of Friendship speech instead 😂 cliched maybe but hopefully by ch 17 it feels earned #Hyperbole feels realer than realism imho. thats why i love cartoons and cliched fantasy jrpgs #...Ok rant over this is too many tags 😅
