STOP BEING SO FUCKING KIND TO ME I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE

I SENT A CORPSE TO A CHILD

...

You're too kind for your own good.

Fuck.

//Hello!! Rwat anon mod!! You're doing great lol no need to be nervous about interacting- if anything I was because I got accused of being- a not so great person yesterday and I was worried people were going to think that this character or that person was me ooc. Anyways, about rwat. They have severe intrusive thoughts constantly, and were in a manic state while sending threats and shit to paris which peaked with that package to sprite- but has now dipped down and they're more reasonable, though still unstable

i'll tell you one thing that i've never told anyone on here before. i know that this will make it publically known. but i think telling you will help.

i've done worse.

i don't know what - i've repressed most of that memory. but i was a stupid kid. i'm still a stupid adult sometimes. i probably snapped. my point is - if i can come back from that, so can you.

if you don't want to talk for now - or at all - i understand. i'll work on finding a good therapist near you who doesn't work with the cops - not sure if that's a worry you had, but easing it anyway. cops suck but if you'd like i will absolutely support you, okay? i can't go too extreme without drawing attention, but through... slight money laundering through my dude in johto i can make sure you have at least stable housing and supplies so you don't have to worry about those.

just remember. small steppy better than no steppy. and two steps forward one step back is still a net gain.

Response to Fandom Problem #5394:

The worst part is how fandoms will praise the hypothetical cute quirky neurodivergent person while alienating or stigmatizing actual neurodivergent people.

See: Fans pointing to a character who comes off as rude or emotionless because they don't pick up on social cues, and calling that character an irredeemable bully even if they haven't hurt anyone. Or calling people ableist slurs for not shipping the "correct" ship. Or joking about their "intrusive thoughts" and "delulu" in a way that obviously misunderstands and makes fun of mental illness symptoms. Or armchair diagnosing the villains of the series with whichever mental condition sounds "scariest" with no regards to the message that sends to people who actually have that condition. Or trying to trigger schizophrenic people's hallucinations with untagged unreality content. Or expecting their favorite fanfic authors to pump out a 50,000 word chapter every day despite burnout (though this isn't specifically targeting neurodivergent people, it can be harder on someone who is already struggling to keep the motivation to write due to conditions such as depression). Or making fun of fans who struggle to finish the work quickly enough due to learning disabilities (book series without an audiobook option for dyslexic people, my beloathed). Or headcannoning characters with autism or anxiety just to infantilize them as if people with those conditions are cute uwu angels and not actual people. I could go on but I think you get the idea.

Fandoms will masquerade as a neurodivergent community, but you quickly see that they're only accepting of neurodivergence/mental conditions as long as it presents as, "likes anime but is otherwise completely normal."

Posting as a response to a previous problem.

Intrusive thoughts, my beloathed

[aquaquadrant]

As someone with mental illness and intrusive thoughts and someone who is going into therapy and is close to many people with different experiences with mental health. I say that your torchy fic was great. I enjoyed reading it. Whether it is intrusive thoughts or not, I do not see how it is demonizing mental health. If that's demonizing mental health then how is your whole fic not just using it as entertainment and thats wrong according to these people too. I enjoy all of your works, and if people get triggered by the fic, that's why you put a trigger warning. It's on them after that. Unless you were using DID as a way to show oh this person has one evil alter but they are nice. That I can see having a problem with. But your torchy fic is not that in any way. I just wanted to add thus because you do not deserve the bashing you are getting.

hey anon, thanks so much for sharing your perspective, i really appreciate it. i definitely touch on serious topics in my angst but there’s never been the intent to cheapen or demonize anything like that. it’s like, for example, i use a lot of racism allegories in HTP (the hybrids vs non-hybrids, hels vs non-hels) and some of the characters have really awful perspectives about the topic (bravo and atlas my beloathed). that doesn’t mean i, as the author, am supporting those viewpoints as they apply to real life (ie. i’d never claim someone is born inherently evil based on their race)

it’s good to be mindful of how i portray things in writing, i guess. but there’s a difference between demonizing something and just, very simply, portraying it. if we shy away from using those topics in writing in any capacity, all it does is equate to censorship. and suddenly there’s less representation, less information, less of an outlet for real life people who have those experiences. and like you said, even tho this fic specifically wasn’t even about mental illness, those kinds of outlets can be very helpful to people struggling irl. so i’m glad you were able to enjoy it, and i appreciate you sharing your personal journey <3

Intrusive thoughts my beloathed. Lemme sleep

[norisus]

Me, just vibin: Intrusive thoughts: throw your baby nephews out the window

[tourettesdog]

I’m relatively new to crossover fanfiction (ty Danny Phantom crossover pipeline) and there is definitely some weird whiplash of jumping between fics where the crossovered characters are related in one fic, and then romantic in the next

Like they’re from completely different sources of media, and it’s all relative to the confines of whatever fic you’re currently lingering in— but the whiplash

I gotta like clear my mental cache of the last fic before I can move along

Having OCD prob doesn’t help me lol

God. GOD this fucking song goes too hard. Remus angst fans (although tbh this could apply to multiple sides esp Roman or Logan), and in general ppl who need a trauma song to jam to please listen to Reveal by Rabbit Junk its just. Makes me go absolutely feral.

[mayoiayasep]
