There's also the sense that in Jar of Hearts, we're in Ty Lee's memories, which makes ftbs and still scenes fit better. But the real reason is that they prevent me from getting sick, and because I think more vids should be seizure disorder and migraine friendly *sulk*
I've gotten to the point in my recovery where I really feel the need to make people acknowledge that what happened to me was bad, and that it was a valid trauma. You're right, it's like picking a scab. It's compulsive more than a sign of how far I've come, or any particular personal strength. There's a part of me that feels bad for wanting to read and focus so much on our powerful, privileged Fire Royals, but they're just so fascinatingly warped. It's the train wreck effect. Plus, Azula, and her brother/minions hits really close to home, and... yeah.
