A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.
Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.
What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.
Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.
What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.
Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.
What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.

So my seven year old brother loves Undertale. Whenever he wears his winter coat, he puts his hands in his front pockets and giggles while quoting Sans. It’s adorable.
Well, today, I was drawing something to post later when he taps my shoulder. So I look over, and he just lays out these four sheets of paper…
…Do you recognize that last one?
Its Omega Flowey. He drew Omega Flowey’s intro, complete with evil laugh.
So he looked at me, all excited, and said that it was his “Undertale comic” and that I had to put it on “the website” so that people could see it.
If it’s not too much to ask, could you guys maybe leave a like or maybe even a reblog? It would seriously make his entire year if people actually noticed his drawings, he’s always drawing pictures for everyone.
