oh nice! it's interesting to see how ur taking a very...gentle approach? to spreading awareness about that kind of thing in the nature of the positivity of difference, almost, rather than the extreme alienation / dehumanization of it (was thinking about the differences between how you work w/ the concept of "rare among rare" as something that's not, like, how i write about it, where one among a million only comes to be as a result of the extreme damnation of trauma (and that is how a genius (god) is born) (i write a lot about divinity where god is analogous to humans having god complexes / there is no difference) (a line in alteraltar and gentleman jack is "who is god but the first killer?")  and that conception of traumatic alienation creating "a godhood that should not exist / should never have existed" in that "being dehumanized can also create gods, not just monsters." 

those themes will also appear in the vn im making this time (STARTING TO WORK ON IT TODAY!!)

Hehe I do go for the alienation and dehumanization angle too. And how isolation especially can have such dire effects on the psyche. In the context of my own work, I think portraying the depths of misery that can come from being isolated by the scars of trauma just makes it feel way more special and important that the characters end up finding solace in each other’s company. I started writing to try to give myself hope in dark times, so I specifically wanted to show characters that have gone through (or even still go through) some pretty horrible stuff still managing to find their own happiness.

I'm happy for you that writing about your hope in dark times has been therapeutic and healing for you. that's really great, and I'm glad you've made it out of the horrors enough to write about that special and important happiness. it sounds very meaningful to you
