#trivializing mental illness

Love the new song and the MV for the most part but the strait jacket really really fucking rubs me the wrong way as a person who has been in a psychiatric ward twice. Jeff fan first and foremost but I really wish people would stop using strait jackets as a scary costume, it's insensitive at best and downright ableist at worst.

The song fucking slaps, either way. Easy top 3 Jeff songs

Quotober #14:

…Yet remembering was futile; the shuddering softshell ... could not remember the last time that he had felt at all— a lapse of memory like a voracious black hole had long ago sucked at all vague sensation of happiness, stretched and wove it into vaporous fiber, and had consumed Donatello whole.

for the love of god why is the “war flashbacks” meme still a fucking thing to this day

(because people thrive on stereotypes about serious mental illnesses)

each pill is just a tiny roll of paper with the qr code leading to his youtube channel

omg wait not an empty pill bottle filled with affirmations and prompts and kind words and qr codes to funny videos would be so dream core

I dont know how to make tumblr users understand that while, yes, treating serial killers as untouchable mysterious geniuses is harmful so is treating them like inhuman, pure evil entities who only kill because they have shitty beliefs. A mentally healthy person does not commit serial murder, period. And acting like there is no mental illness at play or like trying to understand their motives is somehow a bad thing is not the progressive take that you think it is.

[diegoshargrieves]

listening to my parents talk about me is so fucking funny. "she's dealt with us for so long that at this point she's done. she's mentally checked out from having to give a shit about anyone. can you believe how corruptible she is just because she's almost an adult and she thinks that we're not her problem anymore?"

like man you are literally so close. so fucking close.

I had a dream that I was editing one of the early chapters of my book and I kept changing things and moving sentences but no matter what I did, none of it actually changed and I was crying in frustration. If anyone was wondering how writing is going

I've written a big rant a bunch of times but. I love you apex characters with "scary" mental illnesses..... Even if the writers don't..

[creation-help]

I don't wanna expose any usernames here but listen.

If you genuinely think it's okay to put "delulu" in your URL, don't follow me. That's a very harmful term that's come along with this tiktokish wave of watering down mental health terms into what is basically just a new, trendier way of using them as insults and making a mockery of them. It's not a cutesy little Fandom way of saying you're being a bit silly about your favorite blorbo, it's barely a step above just saying slurs or going "I'm so ocd" "I'm so schizo" about something. I'm frankly really tired of this trend of people appropriating mental illness to express that they feel passionately about some characters or a piece of media. Can you please just learn to say what you mean instead of trivializing neurodivergency.

"Delulu" "acoustic" "restarted" Do. Not.

You sound like people who claim it's okay to use the r slur ""as a joke"".

It's not cute, it's not funny, it shouldn't be okay just because it's trending. Think for yourself for one second and do better.
