bedesYou know how Shadow Milk has many childish mannerisms and ways of thinking? How he has many themes and motifs that deal with play, such as plushies, stick puppets, and arts and crafts?
Have you even seen those drawings made by children who have been through trauma or abuse, and who were asked to draw the situation or person that hurt them?
Did you know that, in the original text, Shadow Milk calls Pure Vanilla a "doll" instead of a "puppet"?
And have you heard that children with trauma often recreate their trauma while playing with dolls to process it?
