Noticing Trauma sentence starters

Feel free to alter dialogue to suit your muse!

“That really spooked you.” 

“I don’t want to pry, but.. I want you to know I also want to listen, if you want someone to talk to.” 

“Well, pretend I’m not here. What would you say if nobody could hear it?” 

“Does this happen a lot?” 

“Hey, what happened between you two?” 

“When is the last time you ate?”

“Is this okay?” 

“Hey.” 

“This is the third meal you’ve missed this week, are you okay?” 

“[Name]?” 

“What did he/she/they do?” 

“This … hurts you.” 

“You don’t feel safe, here.” 

“When you look at [trigger], you… what is that?” 

“What can I do?” 

“You were crying in your sleep.” 

“What do you dream about?” 

“Whenever you get stressed, you do this thing with your hands. What is it?” 

“You’re right, I don’t understand, yet. Will you help me?” 

“Should I leave a light on for you?” 

“I brought you some water.” 

“I won’t judge you.” 

“It doesn’t have anything to do with trust. You don’t have to tell me. But I’ll listen, if you do.” 

“Count your breaths with me, okay? Ready? One, two, three, four…” 

“I’m here.” 

“Talk to me.” 

“You don’t need to tell me everything. I just want to know how I can help.” 

“Let me hold your hair back, at least.” 

“You used to love that [item].”

hopeful-hugz·:

Hope remained quiet, again. Genuinely listening, like she did with most of the veterans of the tournament- Even the grumbling! Which gets a tiny chuff and and a mumble of, “it’s okay you can call him a bastard, I do too,” from her. Not like she didn’t swear, off the clock, anyhow.

Still, the sentiment got the small girl to keep listening. It wasn’t every day Dedede was vulnerable with her, after all. The last time it had happened was during the Subspace incident.

She could understand why these moments were few and far between though. He had a reputation he wanted to keep- Yet she had been running to Dedede, as well as other fighters, since they first started showing up, back when she couldn’t defend herself. At first it was to just hide around the more imposing fighters, then for genuine protection when they actually started to get more persistent. She still remembered the first time he had taken a swing at the hunters for her.

Between those memories and his words now, there’s a very new reaction to their rare serious talks: Hope started to actually tear up, soon turning to genuine tears.. Someone who had gone through so many of the same beats she had and is going through- someone used to be arguably worse than Charles- had managed to change for the better and actually cared about her. Actually wanted her to be safe. Something about it all just made her more emotional that usual, especially after an outburst like she just had. 

The small medic couldn’t help shifting just a bit, only enough where she could hide her face in the penguin’s side. At the very least, she nods at Dedede’s request of not letting this change her. And yet here she was- She rarely cried, let alone cried in front of other people, and she didn’t want to be remembered for finally breaking like this. It would be better for her breaking point to be seen as something not to be messed with, rather than something weak and terrified. 

Something about being told it was okay and not bad to want things like this. That it wasn’t bad to be angry, as long as it didn’t take control of her…

“I… I’m sorry…” The tiniest of sob, something she couldn’t help. “I… I’m trying… I really am… I’m just so…. so done with them… I just want them gone, Dedede….”

★ ❝Heh? Yeah a real bastard he is. Ya got that right.  ❞ 

Time to be stern. ❝ Now ya listen t’me, Hopeful Dreamer Daydreamer. ❞Yeah he had to try and make it sound as though he was using a fullname here, trying too hard mind you but still. ❝ You don’t gotta apologise for nothin’! See all this here? ❞ He gestured outwardly to the general air around them, not really knowing where himself but hopefully the message was evident. ❝ It ain’t your fault. You didn’t ask for any of it. ❞His mitted flipper wiping a tear from her singular eye. 

★ ❝Hey, yer a better man-uh-girl than me seein’ as ya got this far without givin’ ‘em a clobberin’, ぞい - (zoi!) . ❞

Ah he was a softy at heart too much for his own good. Look at what he’s gotten himself into. All because he couldn’t turn his head to her struggle.❝ C’mere. Give Old Dedede a hug. ❞He pulled her into his big arms. 

★ ❝ Now we’s gonna get ‘em gone. I promise ya, ぞい - (zoi!) . They’ll not torment ya forever I’ll make sure of it. An’... ❞ He chuckled.  ❝ I’m sure you will too. ❞ It was bitter sweet to comfort Hope, knowing her strife. No kid deserved to go through what she was going through. He knew Hope was as tough as nails but that did not mean she could not break down. He’s only ever seen her cry once before. He too could not hold back the water works. Empathy was never his ally it seemed. He shrugged in an attempt to wipe away the tear with his shoulder. 

Dedede did not want leave Hope alone or want to exasperate things with her so distraught though he was only just holding back by a thread here. Instead,...he motioned to prop a chair under the door handle. Those hunters were not getting through anytime soon.

Superior anime!Dedede is this guy from the pilot, he had a misunderstanding with Kirby and his anger comes from being a good dad and protecting his (probably adopted) daughter. Quite literally Dededad. 

>:0

He’s just a goofy idiot

This man saving his kingdom when push comes to shove and the misunderstanding is resolved

This Dedede shoots first and asks questions later.

Snapcube’s Sonic Fandubs Sentence Starters

★ ❝ No, son. This here is my royal crib. ❞ He could not help but laugh, of course he had seen Sonic around before here and there during mutual tournaments and so forth but he had never anticipated he would see the blue, quilled hedgehog here.  

Likely if Sonic was just being comedic Dedede did not pick up on it, that sort of thing does tend to go over his head. ❝ I wasn’t expectin’ no guests,ぞい - (zoi!) t’the castle. ❞ Not that anything was far from immaculate the Waddle Dees always did a good job of taking care of everything. ❝ What brings ya here, ya came to visit old King Dedede? Came to see if my kingdom was as great as I said it was? ❞

Good guy Dedede has potential to be so funny.

Picture this big penguin being absolutely unbashedly loud and passionate about how much friends he has and how much heroic exploits he went through with absolute sincerety of 7 year old boy and voice of 30 year old man

Just because he's redeemed and is much softer and kinder doesn't mean that he has to lose traits that make him HIM. they simply need to be done slightly differently.

#👑) DEDEDE IS ALREADY PERFECT | musings #I really love this so much it means a lot to see posts like this #honestly dedede gets a lot of crap because of the anime which doesn't represent him as a character at all i like that the fans consider it #an au i think it's a shame because at the very least warp star inc could have given him an arc in that all fans have been done dirty #but game verse dedede? first the main rival of the series now this big soft dude? we love it that's my dedede as for anime dedede? I do my #best to develop him since I hate that Warpstar inc stole my childhood under my feet

galaxies-unknown·:

“… I will do my best for the night, sire.” The destruction of the monster teleporter had been a blessing, and a curse. On the one hand, the vile creatures plaguing the land had been dealt with… On the other, there was little to distract from the devastation that Dreamland’s residents had faced. Even two months in, some of the buildings were still in states of disrepair- charred wood and melted metal had all been hauled off to one location, where it was to either be used for kindling, or melted down for some other purpose.

It wasn’t lost on him that DeDeDe’s grip on his hand only seemed to increase as they started back towards the castle. That aura he’d felt had faded, but wasn’t quite gone… And that little look over the majesty’s shoulder… Had he… Seen something?

The knight could only hope not. Even though the repairs to the kingdom had been arduous, they had been fruitful… And he didn’t want to see them come undone by another attack. It would just show them how worthless their attack on the company’s main base had been, if so. All they had sacrificed… All they’d done… All for nothing. He couldn’t- wouldn’t- let that be so.

“You can always attempt to learn, sire.” His cape half-fluttered in the night, the side not pulled in by his hand dancing on the wind. “‘Commoner talk’ is simply speaking about things that cross your mind… In less harsh manners.” He really hoped the king didn’t just start ranting. He could see the old rudeness of the other in some of his words, but it was more subdued than it had once been- less prickly, less closed-off. He wondered…

“… For instance… I will need to speak with Sword Knight briefly, when we return to the castle… And I am wondering if there will be any new swords on the market in the near future.” There wouldn’t be. He knew there wouldn’t be.- The destruction of the town was far too great, and he couldn’t afford to leave it for some silly hobby like sword-collecting. “What about you? Do you have any plans for the night, or ideas for the near future?”

There. Something rather simple… Hopefully. It wasn’t anything intense like ‘can you give me a rundown of how you plan to fix Dreamland’ or ‘what are you going to do if eNeMeE attacks again’… Just… Ideas. Things he could make and toss as he so pleased… Meta faintly removed his hand from the other’s grasp, but stayed close as he wrapped his cape tighter around his form.

He didn’t comment, but Meta Knight did feel the increase in speed… Alongside a very faint return of that same aura from earlier. He kept his mouth shut, continuing to guide the king home… It was strange to see the other hanging his head, when usually he kept it high, proud as a parakeet.

Huh. So that was how it was done? His initial thought was that he didn’t like it, he was close to just tossing the conversation aside and yet...He had never been asked about his plans, not by anyone aside from Escargon but really that had been in the job description now hadn’t it? Best not to dwell on the past though he suspects that dwelling on the past was what he would be doing for the night. He would lose his dignity or at least flakes of his pride if he were honest to Meta Knight here. That would not do.  Nor would telling the knight that most of his nights were spent staying up pacing back and forth or frantically hiding under the covers from the shadowy fiend who he feared would claim him and stalked him so.

★ ❝Well,...uh, I’ll have a late night snack, and...❞Yeah, it was lonesome at the castle without the snail or trouble to cause but that was what he had deserved entirely now wasn’t it? When he became stumped for anything else then the irritation showed it probably did not help that he felt as though they were being stalked again. He tried to focus on something else, catching Meta Knight's glowing eyes and change of color within them...had they always done that? He averts his gaze. Still frustrated about everything.❝ Well I don’t have t’spill my nightly endeavourin’s t’ya,ぞい - (zoi!) .❞ As for the future? He just hoped there was one at this point. 

The future was something he never thought of, if he did he wouldn’t be in this situation, or maybe he would still, he always was terrible for caring about the consequences of his actions. ❝ Bah, I don’t know about no future, what am I s’pose to do now? ❞ He finally bellowed. Even still what Meta Knight had said about the sword market sounded promising for this demon he was facing. Perhaps if it was an imminent threat the Knights would be well equipped for it. Dedede still has doubts or just general apprehensions about asking Kirby for help. Better to stay away from the pink eye sore. 

★ ❝What if I ain’t got no future no more? ❞There it was. ❝ I gots a castle, a kingdom, servants as farsley as I can see an’ still...I feel empty. ❞ And afraid.❝And my past is huntin’ me like a dog gon’ dog, ぞい - (zoi!) .❞ If only it were a distant past.

The King takes good care of his servants and soldiers nowadays. He even plays chess with them. Though he does not know it the Waddle Dees do let him win.  He is terrible at chess and the little guys pity him. ❝Yeah?❞

Oh trains? Dedede had scarcely seen a few trains here and there so color him curious. 

★ ❝Well ain’t that somethin’? So’s where’s the best train spot here? ❞ He generally was interested. He was also a child on the inside. ❝Heh, do ya ever see one of them there steam engine ones? Ya know? All industrial like,! ぞい - (zoi!)! ❞

I headcannon Kirby made his Star Allies starbadges out of cardboard like a badge that is meant to prove that they are allies to Kirby but it’s just crappy cardboard colored with a yellow highlighter and yet King Dedede wears it on his robe so proudly and shows it off to anyone.

you see the reason why Dedede had a chest containing the ruler of the underworld for seemingly no reason and why Meta Knight even knew about it is actually because when they were dumb kids they. did SOMETHING stupid and had to shove dark nebula in a box and pretend it never happened
