Another thing I was wondering: is making a character try and fail over and over again to stop being alcoholic as a coping mechanism for trauma realistic (as I think) or is it making them a woobie in a whump fic?And what’s the problem people have with whump? I loved reading angst hurt/comfort when I was younger and delving into the world of fandom(this is the “is “rape as comedy” problematic?” anon)

Some people think their squicks should turn into rules for the rest of us.
Write whatever you want. Woobies are popular, and that’s half of why people whine about them.
