#i cant tell if the writers didnt know how to write an abuse recovery arc or if they forgot

So either Wilt turned into a giant phillips head screwdriver offscreen, they’re trying to imply that Beacon wasn’t the first time Adam stabbed Blake, or the writers forgot their character’s canonical injuries. Again

#rwde #a good portion of my current essay is dedicated to talking abt the abuse the show tried to push so currently rewatching/researching #granted ive never experienced anything like this so im merely speculating w the info ive gathered thus far #but #i find it so hard to believe that adam prior to the separation was abusive bc blake doesnt show any signs of it while at beacon #if adam was violent enough to stab her before then shouldnt she be terrified for her life even while safe inside beacons walls? #shouldnt she be jumping at every sound or constantly having a death grip on gambol shroud like she does in v4? #the contrast between the two is genuinely startling #blake after the trailer is reclusive and aloof but shes got zero problems getting in peoples faces when needed #shes full of life and confidence which is a total contrast to her post beacon where shes paranoid and confused #and not once does she ever talk abt adams treatment of her. every issue she talks abt in 4 is abt her participating in the wfs violence #i cant tell if the writers didnt know how to write an abuse recovery arc or if they forgot #actually its probs along the lines of they cant write multiple things at once #thats why every time they talk blake is all 'peace not war' and adams like 'this is my yandere phase' #their dialogue doesnt match its hilarious and infuriating
