#but if it's played with healthy boundaries im all over it 😭

[befuddled-calico-whump]

realizing I have a weakness for the "give Heavily Traumatized Guy a surrogate daughter/little sister and they each learn to grow and heal with the help of the other" trope

#which in itself is not always healthy and i don't want to lean into the whole 'child has to become a therapist for their parent' negativity #but if it's played with healthy boundaries im all over it 😭 #or at the very least healthy boundaries are developed along the way #we've got skye and evyr #both were alone and she both gives him conpany and a reason to live #while he teaches her survival tricks and helps protect her #sahota and noor would be a much needed found family for each other #nabi and mel are the sibling variant but she helps him with emotional recovery and stopping blaming himself #and he gives her more insight into the real world since jin tries to shelter her #meta #calico is befuddled #tropes #this originates from when i was a kid #i was the Oldest Child so my bedtime daydreams were becoming an adpotive little sister to obi wan kenobi and helping him on missions skfbjfk
