Theon hurts himself, something he tries to hide under his stupid, self-deprecating jokes and his long-sleeved shirts under his tees. His scars are something that usually end up as a treat only to the people who he undresses for.

Ramsay is the first to fully acknowledge them. Theon likes that he seems to have a heart for the flawed side of him.

At first, Theon of course thinks it’s sweet, the other man treating him gently as he trails fingertips across the old cuts on his skin. He only has to try a little bit to ignore the quickly-forming bulge in the crotch of Ramsay’s pants every time he ‘worships’ the skin under the fabric of Theon’s shirt.

Aruani angst time hwhewhwhueue

TW: SH ⚠⚠⚠

I wanna know so bad what aruani's reaction would be if they found out that one of their children are doing sh, like i imagine them both getting suspicious on why their child always wear jackets/cardigans and then one day Reiner see's them without the jacket/cardigan and he's just so shocked and flabbergasped that aruani's child is doing such thing at a young age. And that also leads to Reiner telling them and aruani finding out. I feel like both of them would be most affected by it. Annie would feel like as if she failed to do her job as a mother and not being able to protect her daughter from doing such stuff.

Hmmm, pretty devastating?

CW: Self Harm

I think between Armin and Annie, it would be Annie who's affected more because of her past. Annie doesn't associate bruises and cuts with anything positive; her experiences are not that of scraping a knee while climbing a tree or cutting herself while collecting rocks, because she didn't have a normal childhood. Annie had an abusive childhood and anytime she wore a purpling bruise on her flesh or nursed a bloody cut, it was only because she was given those as a sort of punishment for failing to perform.

I've said this before too, but Aruani raising a child is not going to be easy on either of them for a plethora of difficult reasons not least of which are their doubts and fears of their abilities to be good parents.

So now, imagine Annie finding out her daughter's skin is decorated with bruises. It's actually worse because Annie as a child was forced to have them constantly and suffer the pain in loneliness and her body still remembers the physical pain, even if her mind doesn't remember the memories as well. This is not what she wanted her child to go through, ever. EVER.

And yet.

The reasons Aruani daughter is SH-ing could be many, though it goes without saying that there is an underlying mental health issue that needs immediate attention and care. I honestly think that Armin would go through a state of shock because how could he have not noticed this? Not once, in all this time, and its Reiner of all people who brings it to their attention?

Undoubtedly both of them consider it a massive failing on each of their parts as parents, but also, Armin being Armin would dish himself more of the blame even if it's theirs to share.

Hey, little post for people who know others who are struggling with self-harm. Here's some dos and do nots for supporting them.

DO NOT react to them opening up about it by telling them that if they do it, you'll do it too. Doing this just makes them lose trust in you, and they will likely not open up about it to you ever again. I cannot stress enough how fucked up this is to say to a person.

DO ask them if they're thinking about doing it now and / or are somewhere safe. You need to prioritize their current well-being. Remember, not only is self-harm a coping mechanism, it's an addiction to many. Saying, "Oh my gosh, that's awful, please stop. I really care about you." Isn't going to make them put it down. In fact, in some cases, it might make them want to do it more. It's not because they don't love you or anything its more so a mix of reverse psychology and unceasing self-loathing, numbness, anxiety, etc.

DO NOT wrist check them. This is invading personal boundaries, if not explicitly requested of you to do. Again, this can result in a loss of trust and build-up resentment towards you.

DO ask how they're doing or feeling and let them know they aren't a burden to you. Build an open space they can come to instead of forcing it all out of them.

DO NOT say something along the lines of "Why can't you just quit?" or "Think about how sad your family would be!" or "You should stop hurting yourself. It's bad for you." While the last one is true, statements like these put guilt on the person and not only that but might make them mad because you don't understand what it's like for them.

DO offer them alternatives and discuss with them why they feel the need to self-harm. One of the most well-known alternatives is snapping a rubber band on your wrist. Another one is holding an ice cube against yourself. One method I personally find great is working out a little until you get that ache feeling. Great way to get out internal frustration and physical activity is proven to make you happier.

DO NOT poke fun at them for it by calling them emo or something if the like. Unless they seem 100% okay with it and like actively encourage it because they find it funny, this is just messed up. I have nothing more to say on this except you will become part of the problem.

DO encourage them to have fun and find happiness in things they enjoy. If this person likes a certain show or video game, you'd be surprised by how much good it can do for someone's mental health to just be able to talk about it with someone or have someone who enjoys it as well. Sometimes, really liking something is the first step to liking yourself.

DO NOT talk over them about their own issues. You do not know them better than they know themselves. Shedding light or clarifying something for them is okay, but do not keep saying a certain thing is the root cause when they keep telling you it isn't.

DO be understanding whether they tell you about the root issue(s) or not. If they don't tell you, then don't take it personally. It's hard to open up about, and it's not exactly something a lot of people have the energy to share or the words to describe. Be patient with them and let them take their time.

As a general tip: Always ask if they want advice, a distraction, or want you to listen. It's essential to be on the same page if you really want to provide their needs.

For now, I can't think of any more. Feel free to add to what I have already, and I might add some more later.

Just two weeks and I’ll be a year clean of SH!!!

[pixelated-help]

Hey!! I'm sending in this ask on behalf of an alter in our system who holds a lot of heavy things, such as depression and certain aspects of our BPD. She's also a persecutor, and has a hard time letting out emotions in healthy ways.

What we are asking for is help for her. She needs an outlet. Hobbies, comforts. Anything, really, to let her get her feelings out in healthy ways. The OC she is and introject of is a character of ours for a roleplaying game. (She has memories of her time in that universe, in case the POV gets confusing thats why) She was a supervillain in that universe, and when we played as her we were in a group for villains trying to reform into heroes. Basically, she has always been willing to get better. She was a nurse-turned-villain-turned-antihero. She's very based on pink things, with a medical/menhera/yami kawaii type of vibe. In her canon she was quite mobile, one of her superpowers being stretchy limbs, but we are physically disabled and cannot move much at times.She loves creepy-cute things. She sees herself as irredeemable, sadly, and carries a lot of guilt and self-hatred. Um. Yeah. I know she is not a bad person. She fronted together with a little a while back and took such amazing care of her. We do really care about her, and want her to heal. She is not a bad person. She copes in the only way she knows. We wanna help her find better ways.

Things we collectively enjoy doing as hobbies/comforts are arts and crafts, listening to music and playing video games, but any suggestions of things she might enjoy would be wonderful.

Sorry for the ramble. I can tell she is not doing well and I thought I'd ask.

-??? from 🪲 sys

Oh, that sounds really tough. I'll try my best to help!

If she likes menhera themes, maybe she would like to read menhera-chan! Just a quick tw: it is surrounding and heavly talks about self harm. Sadly idk where to read it, but i suppose you can find! Thats just smth she can get into, and maybe surrounding herself with fiction can help.

She can try roleplaying, but maybe, she can try roleplaying as a hero! I think that might actually help her.

Just like i suggested k-pop nonnie, plushies and stuffies might help her! Having a companion that wont get hurt if you mess up is great for people who feel guilty and irredeemable.

I think making an OC of her own, one that she can project into, might help. Sometimes that helps you see yourself in front of you, and see new stuff about you.

Video games are a perfect way to distract yourself from bad thoughts! Maybe try to find a calm video game, like animal crossing.

I hope i could help you, send her my best regards!

[that-dog-is-so-gender]

I need to strip away all earthly qualities Nail polish, bracelets, clothes I need to make my divine vessel pure once more

I can strip down to the skin But I can't erase the scars I can't erase the sin Traces of the life I lead remain But traces of heaven Are still tied to my brain Why does it have to stay the same? I've tainted this body Oh, what a shame I'm searching for my God But I forgot his name

[branches-in-a-flood]

I'm trying to be more positive, I really am, but if life could stop making me feel like a small animal trapped inside a burning house that would be great.

The only person I talk to about Feelings and Life (apart from making these posts) is my therapist.

I tried reaching out to ex partner one a few times, left on read for over a week.

Unsure how I'm feeling about current relationship with partner, but I don't think I can/want to continue it. They just messaged me that one of their other partners broke up with them and they're devastated. So that. Mhmm. Yep.

Absolutely cannot talk to my family about things because. Fuck. So many reasons, really.

And the two other humans I speak to outside of work don't know me like that. Can't really go from casual acquaintance to "hey I'm having a panic attack and really intrusive thoughts about self harm wyd"

Still trying to find things to enjoy. Still mostly failing. Tried to play several different video games recently but I can only manage 10-15 minutes before I lose the enjoyment and realize it's just pixels. Cannot make myself sit down and write. I've read two books in the past week or so though. Was hoping to start meds again for all of the things but that doesn't seem likely now.

Anyway.

Horrible at bgs but I don’t draw April as much as I should

ALSO!! NOW THAT I HAVE A BIT MORE FOLLOWERS JUST WANTED TO SAY THIS AGAIN!! (tw: grooming mention+SH threats?)

If you EVER meet a grooming victim, and they specifically describe that the groomer made threats to harm themself, NEVER SAY "i would have just let them do it." Despite what you may think, having someone you may believe to be your friend threatening to harm themself because of you isn't the easiest experience!!

Please spread the word if possible, It can be very very upsetting to us!

[lnkedmyheart]

Extremely angry venting. Do not proceed.

All I'm gonna say is if you are a super buff overly built guy obsessed with gymming and muscles and being extremely powerful and genuinely believe that an average woman is a threat to YOU and is "living life on easy mode" AND bring up women being a threat to men on the topic of women (and little girls) being victims of SA, victims of harassment, stalking, threats, domestic violence and more, then you are a flag so red that next time I will mount you on a fucking pole Vlad the Impaler style and use YOU as the fucking red flag.

"You can't like Jiraikei because you never cvt, sm0ked/Abus3d drvgs, etc!!"

You're making it seem like that's what you HAVE to do to like Jiraikei which is fucking gross, you're sort of encouraging doing that stuff too which is also really gross

It's still quiet based around not being in a good mental state/headspace and you don't have to do all those things to have a bad mental state, have you ever considered ppl having restrictions from certain things such as Bl4des or fucking drvgs because I'm sure that plays into things and maybe some ppl don't WANT to do those things even in a bad mental state and headspace?? you don't take everything into account and it really shows!! :3

Thanks for looking at my rant!! I had more to say but I kinda forgot :((

edit*(01/09/25); this isn't to shame any Jirais who do anything of the things I mentioned!! I still luv u guys 💗💗

Vice and Vincent | FNAF

Vice is an eldritch god who took the appearance of Vincent (purple guy), in order to feed over his crimes.

Each murder makes him stronger, spreading his influence on Vincent's colleague and surrounding.

This OC was made back in 2014 if I remember correctly :)

[snaggletoothedbastard]

i wish i could just be normal

because i’m sick of being sick.  there is always something i have to deal with,  you have to deal with. me and my disorders used to go hand-in-hand,  now i’m dragging them through quicksand or sometimes they’re dragging me across concrete and it’s ripping off my skin. i wish i could rip off my skin and find whatever’s crawling underneath it and set it free. i never kill bugs if i can help it but i don’t want them anywhere near me. 

i wish i could hurt myself without hurting myself,  god, give me the pain and the blood but not the mess. i’ve decorated the sink with scarlet polka-dots and i’ve decorated my skin with scarlet polka-dots. i wish i could eat without eating, the lunchbox cereal bar is sawdust coated in syrup and it clogs my throat like the words i need to say but can’t and the sawdust scratches and splinters and my mouth dries up when i try to talk. 

i wish i could be a teenager,  stay out, get drunk, fall in love, cause chaos,  without the need of a reminder to breathe.  i wish you wouldn’t only look at me in concern. i wish hurting myself wasn’t the only way to get your attention,  i wish i could join the conversation,  slip into it the way you slip into your jacket instead of wriggling into it the way i’ve wriggled into a pair of tights.  i wish our pub crawls didn’t leave me crawling,  i wish my muscles didn’t spasm,  i wish i didn’t need to be unfolded and pinned down like a forgotten note in your pocket,  crumpled up and only telling you i’m sorry for everything. 

i wish i could do as i’m told, i wish i could tell when enough is enough when enough is enough.  i wish i’d gone home when you told me to.  i wish i didn’t refuse because you told me to.  i wish i could say goodbye without the fear that i’ll never get to say it again.  i wish i could make friends without the bombardment of pity that bruises me harder than the chair i keep hitting my arm against. 

i wish change didn’t send me spiralling into a bottomless pit of doubt.  i wish i could give a round of applause with my hands, not my head.  i wish i could walk in a straight line.  i wish i was straight because my best friends are men and it would be so much easier to fall in love with a friend than with a stranger.  i wish i could just be normal.

[dahliaoceania]

Sometimes I want to have friends and socialize. But the more I do, the more I realize that befriending people always leads to me hurting them unintentionally. I'm terrified of that, i don't want to be the cause of anybody's hurt but my own.

I freak out over the littlest things, and things effect me to the level where I take it out on myself, but less than a few hours later that same thing doesn't even matter to me anymore, it ran out its use. that's what I'm afraid of, my usefulness to people vanishing, leaving them with no reason to stick around.

I knew a person who was the exact same way, and we were a toxic tornado that constantly fed into each other, until we both imploded and parted ways. I wanted a way out so badly, I wasn't worth it, I wasn't worth caring about, I didn't want anybody to care about me, so I stopped caring about them to the point where I fed seeds of doubt into them to eventually make them hate me intentionally. I got what I wanted, but it didn't feel any better, because then I was alone and free to destroy myself on a level that was completely unregulated.

Every day it gets worse, I'm a terrible person, I don't want to be human anymore, so I won't be.
