Im So Intrigued By The Way Shows About Ghosts Address Abuse & Trauma.

I’m so intrigued by the way shows about ghosts address abuse & trauma.

The scene in the haunted house where the family is murdered over and over.. Charles being reminded of his own abuse. Charles having a strong emotional response to it and getting physically stuck in the loop. That’s what trauma is.

Trauma, is abuse happening to you, over and over. Trauma, is the loop. Trauma, is you getting stuck in the loop when it had nothing to do with you. Trauma, is you becoming the ghost. Trauma, isn’t the haunted house itself. Trauma, is you haunting your own house until you break the loop yourself.

That’s why even Hell was written in the series this way, to relive death over and over. That’s why David keeps visiting Crystal to have the same conversation, over and over. No matter how many times she asks him to leave her alone.

Edwin and Charles and Crystal find themselves stuck in different loops. The only way to ever find their way out of the loop is by helping each other.

Trauma is a living hell. Only a trusted friend would walk into your hell to bring you out.

two pretty best friends

charles doesn't just hug people he HUGS. he's putting that whole charlesussy into that hug everytime. he's sticking his face into the crook of ppl's necks. hes letting it linger. he does it pretty much everytime, watch him!!

That Madison Beer meme from twitter

i think its kind of weird that in the shows poster charles and edwin are so crisp but nikocand crystal blend into the background and seem more stereotypically ghostly

dont know if it means anything just thought it was odd, love the poster tho

i love all the acting in dead boy detectives so much, but the scene in ep8 where crystal is calling out to lilith and screams, "this witch, she took your gift and then she killed hundreds of little girls to stay young! who gets justice for them?" literal chills.
