Let Them Feel Understood And It Will Go A Very Long Way Towards Helping Them Overcome The Fear - Blog Posts

I won’t lie, it actually scares me a little how so many fans of this show think Omega is an annoying, whiny, helpless character. Are… we watching the same show? The one about the abused little girl and her family trying to hold itself together while every force in the galaxy seems determined to tear them apart? When you were 13, would you have been prepared to deal with the trauma of being kidnapped multiple times? Watch two of your older brothers try to murder your family on multiple occasions? See the town you grew up in, presumably with everyone still inside, razed to the ground? Have to say goodbye to one of the most trusted people in your life for an uncertain amount of time? Have your home and everything in it stolen from you? See your older brother freaking die in front of your eyes??

I don’t know about y’all, but when I was thirteen, the biggest threat I had to face was the fact that my mom kept packing me raisins in my lunch (gross), and trying to impress the cool rebel girl in my class who I wanted to be friends with.

Have a little compassion.

I’ve been the archer, i’ve been the prey

Tell me, could ever leave me darling?

But who could stay?

Can we talk about omega’s characterisation in the latest episode and how she’s reacting to change around her because omg.

it reminded me of the bracca arc in season 1 where she warned hunter about the chip surgery, saying ”then i’ll be left here, with no one” and it CLEARLY shows that being abandoned /left alone is her absolute worst fear (hence why she wanted to leave kamino w tbb so badly) and in the span of the same few months she witnessed crosshair leaving, echo leaving, and the marauder, her home, where she had her very first own room, stolen—and it made me realise, that in her eyes, her worst fear is slowly coming true. Bit by bit, she’s scared the batch will eventually leave her. I’ve seen people call her ”whiny” or even ”annoying” this episode, but that’s not nearly the case.

She’s not whiny. She’s terrified.
