The thing is, I can watch things like The Last of Us. I grew up on Bones and Supernatural and the Forensic Files, gore doesn’t necessarily bother me.

I just can’t watch them with other people because I do have to routinely pause in the middle of really emotionally intense scenes, like someone getting tortured or having just been fatally shot, just to like get through it.

Because it’s not the violence that bothers me, it’s watching something or someone, even something I know is fictional, in pain that gets to me. Like you may as well just stab me too, while you’re at it.

#crow rambles #there have been episodes that I’ve historically put off finishing because I to a really intense scene and just. needed a minute #tlou hbo #bones tv #worst part it doesn’t have to be human. show me an android or alien in intense pain or dispair and I’ll feel the same way #psychologically it’s probably related to how I’ll flinch if you throw or drop something like a book #not necessarily because of the noise (or at least not entirely) but because you might hurt him #(him being of course the book)#me: I take emotional damage seeing fictional characters get treated cruelly #also me: I’m not big on slasher flicks but gods do I love a mindfucking psychological horror. not the ‘mental illness is evil’ flavor #but the ‘hey wouldn’t this just be absolutely Fucked Up?
