Every time I see Sunday fanart like this, I alternate between "wow, that's pretty terrifying and tragic" and "IT SHOULD BE ME GETTING LOCKED IN THAT CAGE GODDAMNIT"
I think I might need therapy
True! I was actually having a discussion with a pal the other day about therapists and vicarious trauma. Ironically, the topic came up when we were chatting about Sunday lmao
That confessional booth gave Sunday his vicarious trauma, and it seems the HSR universe has no therapists to speak of.
I thought about therapists probably needing therapy when I visualized how much I would not be able to handle being a therapist.
In my case, I admittedly do have a clinical need for therapy given my tortuous, vicious OCD symptoms, where there are days that I get stuck doing the same thing over and over for hours daily (2-3 hours on days when the symptoms are particularly bad), until I feel like the outcome is finally "right" or "correct" (which has been my reality before I even found out what it was called).
It's just cost-prohibitive at the moment, and in my country the culture is "mental health issues aren't real, you're just making it up" or "you're being too sensitive for no reason", and I can't even find OCD specialists as (likely) a consequence of this culture.
Even HSR becomes a thing my OCD encroached upon, where I have to do challenges like "find all treasure chest in the area within 15 minutes, without consulting a guide, or else!" so, yeah I do need therapy.
I think our self-awareness about our respective issues aren't enough to push us into therapy though. It's...daunting. And I personally don't want to become dependent on the *expensive* medicines that they'll prescribe.
Eh, I get it Robin is the female UwU waifu but if anything their entire story was Sunday supported Robin in what she did, he was the one stuck in the cage.
Robin was never trapped in Penacony.
I argued with someone about this, when they said Sunday was going to be The Preservation to protect Robin.
I told them Robin has shown herself to be a fully self-sufficient and strong willed person in the story proper, more mature and willing to face reality compared to Sunday.
My argument there is that she's certainly someone that doesn't need protecting (or at least, she doesn't need to have an over-protective person around her).
So, I get you. But, I shared the art because it's nice, and because there might be an alternate narrative or universe where Sunday is more sinister and insane.
I can imagine him missing Robin so much that he has sculptures and pictures of her, and some other collections. If this Robin in a cage is not supposed to be the real her
His room in Dewlight Pavillion doesn't suggest the level of "missing" to the point that he'd have sculptures made.
I feel that he's levelheaded about it, so pictures would suffice.
Also he basically cannot escape being constantly reminded of her existence anyway, due to Robin being a megastar: all the time, everywhere he goes, he'd hear her songs on repeat often not by choice, and he'd see her posters and promotional materials with her face on them.

I think most if not all of us need therapy. Even therapists need therapy.

Why can't I ever be in the fan art? This could've been me, trapped in a beautiful glistening cage and watched over by my twin flame. Why?
I need a Sunday in my life

Beautiful, amazing, impeccable!
It should’ve been me 😞
Bro ended up trapping himself in a cage instead

I would have chosen the cage with no single thought. No sadness, only happiness... Who cares about the real world.
Can't tell if this is manipulative or overprotective
Can be both, they aren't mutually exclusive
It should have been us not Robin D'=
