Comp Human Tries To Deal With Some Trauma (Composite Human vs The Smile Entity) (0-0-0)

TRIGGER WARNING: The Smile Entity's whole thing is making people oof themselves, and chances are subjects such as mental health disorders, trauma, etc will be discussed in the thread. If you are not comfortable with these topics, I would not recommend partaking in this VS Battle discussion

I just got done watching Smile 2 (Great movie btw, better than the first) & haven't been able to get this hypothetical battle out of my head since finishing the movie, so I decided to make it & see if we can survive the Smile monster or not

Spoiler: Story

Composite Human was working their shift at a mental health institute when he got called in for an irratic paitent. The paitent had to be brought in strapped to a bed & was screaming about seeing things that weren't there. CH goes in to talk with the girl, who says that after her best friend witnessed her favorite pop star take her own life during a concert she started having vivid hallucinations of people, with the most noticable feature being a creepy smile on their face. After a week, her friend offed herself in front of her, and for the past week she has been seeing hallucinations of people. Each hallucination is different, but each one of them has a sinister looking smile on their face, just like what her friend described.

Before CH can ask her any questions, she starts freaking out, screaming that she sees someone. CH runs to the office phone to call in help, but when CH looks back on the girl they see her standing up and smiling, right before flatlining themself. Before CH can help her, she bleeds out right in front of them, smiling the entire time, and now making the trauma entity infect CH

Now a main talking point here might be "Would CH even get traumatized by watching someone do something like that?" and although realistically CH probably wouldn't as they've witnessed way worse & wouldn't have empathy (thus meaning that the death of another wouldn't be traumatic), we'll assume for the pourposes of this threat that CH was traumatized by witnessing that death. Plus, the smile creature can feed on past trauma people had before getting cursed, and CH has all of the trauma of all humans to have ever had trauma, so the entity will have plenty to feed off of anyways

Ground Rules:

• CH only has the knowledge that they learned from the girl (It spreads by witnessing a cursed person die & will give you extremely vivid hallucinations, typically featuring someone smiling)
• CH has 1 week to figure out how to stop the curse before the entity possesses them and makes them... you know
• CH has access to all recources they would realistically have access too as a high-level psychiatrist
• CH wins if they can stop the curse forever without getting themselves killed/incaped
• The Entity wins if they can kill/incap CH & continue the curse
• If CH is killed/incapped BUT they manage to stop the curse OR if CH lives but the curse continues, it's an incon

Who Wins?

Humanity Gets Over Its Trauma: 0 ()
Humanity Can't Escape Their Own Mind: 0 ()

Following.

So CH does have the intelligence and resistances to deal with the smile entity, as much of the same abilities drugs put onto them wouldn't work 100% for the entity.

Trauma by it's definition is something CH would resist, but the CH wouldn't be completely immune to. This fight is going to be more of a psychological battle, but for now I'll lean to CH by virtue of high intelligence and tolerance to illusions.

The main selling point on how the entity stomps people is trauma and it's illusions, like would it still impact CH if CH has only resisted psychedelics?

The thing about CH is that he'd also be desensitized or even aroused by the trauma, due to stuff like gore fetishes and serial killers.

I'm not so sure about that arousal part but yeah CH would have some resistance to the trauma

The problem is, the trauma is still there, and even if it doesn't effect the person that much, it can still feed off of it. Rose had mostly gotten over the trauma with her mother but the entity was still able to feed off of it. Joels only tramatic event was witnessing Roses' death, but the entity fed off of that 1 moment of trauma. If someone has any trauma at all, the entity can feed off of it. And CH, even if they're resistant to the trauma, would still technically have the unresolved trauma of billions of people

The entity =/= psychedelic drugs, the illusions & hallucinations the Smile Entity makes people see are far beyond what most psychedelics can produce, and the hallucinations work through a demon in your mind controling what you see, not through just altering your brain like psychedelics do. So simply resisting the effects of psychedelics won't help CH resist the entity's illusions

The problem here is the illusions. SBA is going to make the entity go in it's late standard tactics. The illusions and Intelligence of the entity are why the people with the curse couldn't beat the entity. Like how does CH even beat a monster with such illusions?

Well CH knows to expect them & will be hyper-caucious of litteraly everything they are seeing & will adjust accordingly. And due to the lack of an amygdala, they won't be freaked out by any of the illusions or driven mad by them. So the illusions won't have as strong of an effect as it did on Rose or Skye as CH knows about the symptoms of the demon

And what happens if the demon attempts to trick the CH into believing that it killed or beat the entity itself? That's my biggest concern since the illusions still impact CH.

Would any amount of CH's stuff mitigate all of humanity's trauma?
