      Wandavision is a pretty lousy mystery box show but a pretty good show about how having repressed trauma feels like being trapped in a mystery box show am I writing this piece yes I am but it will be, like, full of weird personal confessions look for it in, like, may.

      Calling Wandavision “Lynchian” is an insult to both David Lynch and Wandavision, bc they have different aims. But it kind of makes sense when you think about how Lynch is also interested in repressed trauma. The two just have wildly different approaches to the idea.

      What I am saying is that I spent most of my childhood convincing myself that I was a fictional character who lived in a TV show to cope with all sorts of fun and exciting horrors, so it feels very weird to have my life awkwardly shoehorned into a cinematic universe.

      I actually think the reality distancing effect of genre fiction is maybe the best way to tackle the sheer weight of processing trauma, and I admire the attempt in this show even if it doesn’t always work. I wrote a lot more about this here:https://emilyvdw.substack.com/p/how-to-write-about-trauma …

          Replying to @emilyvdw

          I didn't think following a thread on Wanda Vision would take my to an essay that would move my to tears. I've only just realized I'm going through this too, 6 months on HRT. Thank you so much for writing this and giving me words to start describing this trauma.
