#im rmbling but it pisses me off tag your fucking art a$$holes

tw for explicit self harm discussion

it has been zero days since star got mad about depictions of self harm but the thing about self harm is- the thing about cutting is i think about it every day, all day, constantly. i don’t do it anymore and it’s been years since i was hurting myself with regularity and i still think about it constantly because it’s a hard habit to break and the tiniest things are triggering. i can’t breathe when i’m handling can lids. broken glass makes me flinch even when it’s just sitting there let alone when i’m in a stupid fandom tag or a general art tag and somebody decides they’re gonna draw a character or a depiction of the old slice and dice and not fucking put a warning on it or make it possible for people to, yknow, not see that if theyre trying to not see it

i used to be a lot more embarrassed and ashamed of what measures i needed to protect myself from myself but like. im entitled to not want to see that. even if i didnt have ~a history~ people are entitled to not want to see needlessly upsetting things, dont take that out of context of me supporting burying your head in the sand, but like, not wanting to see blood or injury or being sensitive isn’t like... a flaw or something i’m at fault for it’s the fault of every content creator that doesn’t post art responsibly especially. in fandom spaces.
