he's still majorly down on himself but it's less surface level.

he is going to attempt some of the things people have been telling him but I imagine this first go around it isn't going to stick. habits are hard formed.

You can do it Hanna!

maybe he should start the day by reading some paper stars.

If he needs someone to talk to who doesn't really have a stake in what just went down, Tendi's a good cheerleader.

no those are for everyone else >> Frankie did try to get him to do some aggressive silly verbal affirmations but he is entirely embarrassed by them.

he needs to complete rainbow friends so obviously tendi needs to be in there. he just doesn't always tend to do great when someone is just as positive as him xD they see right through his shit and he knows it.

Malcolm reads an affirmation card outloud every morning after meds and exercise while he drinks his coffee.

Hanna yelling at himself into the mirror in the morning "I am as powerful and terrifying as godzilla" is a fun thought though.

he can teach you allll the coping mechanisms and also how to use them all at once 😆

Hanna has the best coping mechanism, ignore it and focus on someone else until they don't want you around any more, rinse and repeat! works great.

Rainbow friends!!! But now I'm imagining him doing that in the Inmate bathrooms and someone else walking in on him like

fjjfbfj

he has a mirror and a sink in his room at least, so thankfully he doesn't have to do that. And John has released him from showering at 3 am or whenever no one is in the Inmate bathroom. he's finally free. John is the best.

(Okay, I'm specifically imagining Jasper walking in on him, not that she's been on the Barge in years but. She'd find it hysterical and the lady needs a laugh now and then)

oh my god...Hanna would try to be friends with Jasper...it'd just be like red head tiny Steven.

She would have complicated feelings about that. I mean, mostly anger because she's Jasper. But COMPLICATED anger.

it's okay, he's only human. does that make it better or worse, Jasper??

Definitely worse. You fleshbags are so gross.

his fleshbag is especially gross seeing as its rotting from the inside 8D factory sealed with some magic.

cannibalherpes ....how tall is Thrawn?

Ridiculously tall, 6'4''

oh my god...I love it. Hanna, slightly taller because he's sitting on a stool, still has to look up an entire foot because this man is huge.

bwahahaha

don't think Hanna's out from getting gentle encouragement when he comes by

this greeting, Thrawns big ass hands, fingers meeting around his tiny little arm. Hanna definitely not reaching as far. he's trying.

oh, he knows. What did John say? 'it'll happen when it does'? something along those lines. He'll learn not to give Hanna permission for wiggle room. He takes it and runs with it.

it WILL happen when it happens.

except someone's going to keep feeding you and offering you warmth and affection and support and encouragement and asking how movies were with Sheehan : )

I just want to say I'm completely canonblind, but Hanna is very entertaining to stalk.

And this is how John becomes Hanna's new dad. A dad who is also a dog. and what ever else he wants to be. Infinite!Dad

aww that makes me happy xD Hanna is so much fun.

Hanna leaves some clothes after a shower, they get cleaned and folded and put outside his door the next day.

Hanna just lives out of a laundry basket. he is amazed at the lack of wrinkles.

friendship unlocked!

Hanna just waving as he leaves like fuck...I forgot to ask who he was talking about.

hahaha
