in general im weirded out n kinda disgusted by ppl who like clearly get off to making characters suffer as much as possible because if the suffering is the point and not the healing or processing that comes afterwards then youre like, probably really voyeuristic and weird?
like, angst and pain and suffering have a PLACE in a story. there can be great satisfaction found in fictional tragedy, in the right context. but theres a time and a place and framing is important and if youre zeroing in on the torture porn and not analyzing trauma, Ur Creepy
also youre just a bad storyteller? stories where one bad thing happens after another and its just endless misery is literally the same as a child going “and then and then and then”. if your story beats dont connect to a greater theme or forward the plot, get better writing skills
it’s why Misery is a good pain-heavy story and the walking dead show isnt LOL
