"You're a strong girl. Personally, I think you're going to pull through with a minimum of post-traumatic stress."

This vid focuses on a storyline that, although it never explicitly reference sexual assault, is a thinly-veiled metaphor for rape. Trigger warning for themes of assault, sexual assault, mind control, and super fucked-up power dynamics in general. Spoilery through the end of season two.

Download from Mediafire (36mb, DIVX). You can also stream it at AO3.

Notes: I had a hard time figuring out how to incorporate the season two finale into this vid; when I first started working on it, I was assuming that we would get way more onscreen psychological fallout from Peter possessing Lydia than we actually did. (And this had better get addressed in season three, because seriously, you do not get to turn Lydia's storyline into one that's really clearly about rape and then just have the character bounce back like nothing happened, come on Jeff Davis.) In the end, what I tried to do with the clips of Lydia saving Jackson was show that even though she gets to save the day, even if she has these positive things in her life again, that doesn't mean that she's free from what happened. Hopefully that comes across in the vid, and doesn't seem like I just decided to drop some random Jackson/Lydia shipping in there for the heck of it. It's probably super pretentious to say that I was trying to vid the concept of PTSD, but, well, that is what was on my mind while I made this.

Wow. Stunning. I feel bad for not seeing the rape metaphor before. This makes me so sad for Lydia, and like you I hope they'll adress all this next season. This is an excellent vid !

Don't feel bad for not seeing it, we all watch and interpret media differently, you know? And gosh, Lydia, I hope season 3 is just a whole season of everyone giving her hugs. I'm so glad you liked this, thank you for your feedback!
