Content Warnings

Graphic: Injury/Injury detail and Self harm

Moderate: Violence and Child abuse

Tagging for self harm, but the actions aren’t done to actually harm the individual. It’s complicated. Also tagging injury detail, though it’s mostly handled in a ‘acknowledging limitations for a disability’ sort of way.
