#i considered joining the international legion for defense for people who wanted to support ukrainians

Also, I wondered how i would deal in world (either just in the past or in a fictional world like Westeros) if I didn't have my meds. And I would either don't do anything, have a constant breakdown and quickly die, or I would become one of the villains. Maybe I wouldn't flay people but still, I would cause some problems.

Quick question? Would portraying Ramsay as having BPD (I've read a lot of headcanonc from folks that make sense) be considered as 'woobyfying (I don't even know how to spell that) him, or even being an apologist? Cause I dont wanna do that, but I'd like to portray him as such.

Hmm, I don’t think it’s woobiefying (I don’t really know how to spell that either lol) to search for behavioral explanations of characters you like and even if it were, I don’t think it’s a crime to woobiefy a character (as long as you know that you’re doing it). Your headcanons are yours. 

The bigger problem I see with attributing real mental illnesses like BPD to fictional characters such as these, especially if done by neurotypical people, is more because it’s, well, kinda ableist? While I do think that the BPD diagnosis in theory fits Ramsay eerily well, it also kind of furthers the stereotype of people with BPD being inherently violent, abusive and just a huge danger to others, which is not really the case. People with mental disabilities suffer much more from ‘normal’ people, than vice versa. That’s why imho it can be very problematic (for lack of better term) to attribute a diagnosis like this to a fictional character like that.

If you want to talk a bit more about BPD Ramsay, dontflaywithmyheart actually has BPD themselves and also likes to headcanon Ramsay with BPD for their own coping. They might be able to tell you a little more about it (and especially about the do’s and don’ts, as I am really not someone who’s an authority about these matters).
