#tw: mention of self harm scars

[frownyalfred]

what do you think *is* a scar bruce is ashamed of/can’t stand the sight of?

Either something from training where he was stupid and sloppy and almost let someone die, or a self-harm scar where he bailed out at the last second on a suicide attempt a la Joel from the Last of Us.

*snaps fingers poof! all of dazai's bandages are gone now* :^)

Thankfully he was wearing clothes at the time that the magic happened, or it might have been much much worse. But it still revealed multiple horrible scars on his neck and arms--

Breathing started to speed up as he unconsciously tried to back into a corner--

He had to get out--had to get away--

No no no no--

They couldn't see--it was disgusting, it was--

“Unbidden child… Made anew and left to languish… Rot. Stain. In the tannin rich waters. But I made it out with half my mind.”

Some embraces are messier than others. Elias' took place in a swamp following their suicide attempt. They woke up afterwards caked in mud and blood. Washed up version and some babbling under the cut...

It's wild to me that I've only been drawing digitally since this spring, and now I prefer it over traditional. I'm definitely still learning, but it's actually been a pretty rewarding slog. Most of my studies and stuff have involved vtm and dnd so that makes the struggle significantly more fun.

I'm currently looking for a real life reference I can use for Elias to really nail their features down and keep them consistent. I'm thinking maybe a young Patti Smith.

One of the hardest things to actually accept, in my experience, is that you eventually have to forgive yourself for the harm you did to yourself. A good way to move on from that is just being able to let your past self rest in peace. Don't stomp on their resting spot, they need to be at peace. They deserve to be at peace, and so do you.

Bleh I'm saying this now because it keeps happening but my brain wants me to be hated and criticized and I know I don't take criticism well, like at all. But seeing all of my moots getting flack for doing nothing is frustrating to me.

Vent art (faded sh scar warning) and explanation below.

I'm going to be turning on and off notifications and limiting my tumblr time so I hopefully don't keep upsetting myself. But at the same time that leaves me other much worse coping mechanisms but I'm going to try and be fine and watch this silly show that I can binge for days. Reach out if you want but I have to try doing something by not looking here. Maybe I'll still post. I don't know.

I'm trying but man I just don't know if this is making me better or worse. To someone specific; I'm sorry that I've not been talking with you. I just still feel awkward about boundaries bc i know i have a habit of pushing them. I appreciate you and your art and I'm sorry you deal with hate anons. You don't deserve all that stress. I didn't know what was right to do. I really tried to be a middle ground.

genuinely the most important headcannon to me is that rui has scars.

scars littering his fingertips. small accidents from when he first learned to create robots, scratches from kindergarten bug hunts, slices from papercuts from old books. larger cuts born from carelessness and apathy on a lonely rooftop, in a lonely workshop. he'll cover them up with gloves during performances.

scars along his wrists. none of them deep enough to have been lethal, none of them from a true blade, but there nonetheless. it's why mizuki made his show costume have shortened sleeves, why he's gotten in the habit of rolling them up casually now. his wrists are the one place he'll never get another scar.

scars along his chest. people are people and i am me. people are boys, and girls, and anything in-between. rui is rui. he's not afraid to be himself, because that's all he's ever needed to be.

scars under his eyes. purple bags permanently etched on from countless sleepless nights. why sleep when he can create? why sleep when he'll just go to the rooftop instead of class anyways? why sleep when nothing will ever change?

scars along his heart. though he knows he won't ever feel that way ever again, though he finally has a home, loneliness has borne its mark upon him. the memory, the phantom pain, echoes on. quieter, quieter, quieter, but ever-present.

new scars. scrapes along his knees from pulling weeds along the wonder stage. splinters from the old wood of the flooring. rugburn from a slip during rehearsal. a small burn from the paste of taiyaki split right down the middle.

a box of yellow, pink, green, and purple band-aids has recently made permanent residence in his workshop.

I headcanon that Lilith, once the body Gretel gave her wore out, asked Lich to add all her old scars to the next one. Not just her scars from the experimentation and Postman, but her scars from her lives as Rin and Riliane. She didn't want to forget those scars or the things that led to them- all the little scars on her fingers from accidentally cutting herself with a knife when she was first learning to cook, the burn mark from that one time one of the orphans accidentally pushed her into the stove, the dog bite she got when she repeatedly annoyed Kai's old Shiba Inu.

Some of the scars are less benign- there's a jagged scar on the front of her neck from when Kayo murdered her, and a smaller scar on the back on her neck from when Clarith tried to. There are long, thin lines on her arms that she refuses to talk about from when the guilt over her sins got to be too much, and there's several scars where her bones were broken as punishment for resisting Ma.

But they're all her scars, they're all proof that she's alive and can feel something- even if that something is pain. They're hers, and she wouldn't give them up for anything, no matter how much it hurts to recall them.

not one of your ocs having those edgy self harm scar bandages 💀💀

ARE YOU TALKING ABT IDWAL BWHAHAHAHA?????

um anon those aren’t self harm scars! they’re 3rd degree burn scars that he covers because they hurt real bad to leave skin that harmed exposed to the air! (they’re on his face too)

his father’s dumbass left him in a house fire when he was a toddler 😔😔

One thing I did not miss about going to school was that some of these people straight up talk like supervillains I am not joking

yaddah yaddah mentions of self growth and long past tw self harm:

There are some days, depending on the weather/temperature, I can see the pale marks of old self harm scars on my arms. Sometimes, I wonder about if anyone recognises them for what they are. Maybe one day, I may get other tattoos over them.

Even so. For all the offline family dramas, the navigation of online social relationships - looking ay these pale scars, I can recognise how far I've come. That it's been several years since any sort of relapse.

I'm still here. Still growing as a person, despite attempts of anyone to pull me down or have me branded. That's the truth of the thing anyway - nobody really knows what you go through. Nobody lives your experiences but you.

Thank you for all the hard lessons, the love and tears. Looking at where I've been, these scars I have, where I am now - I know I've made the best decision to stay and keep on thriving.

I love you all, and always hope to continue doing so - that we can all find our places of love, safety and best selves.

tw for implied self harm

do you think that nick and sunny would get matching "<3" scars/cuts

Oh yeah totally

I mean they have a weird relationship with their/each other's bodies and (if you've read the 15+ comic, which I assume you did considering your question, you'll know what I'm talking about) a weird relationship with cuts & markings. Specifically in relation to each other, and ownership of each other

Arsenic's thoughts are usually along the lines of "I want to mark him everywhere with my name and have it on display that he's mine and mine only, I want to kill everyone who isn't us because then no one could even look at him or think about him or exist to him but I need people to exist in order to see and acknowledge that he's mine, it's pointless to own him if there's no one else around who can, he's mine because he chose me among everyone else, he's mine mine mine and everyone else only exists to see that and know that I'm better than them and that they'll never have him"

Nick loves to leave his name everywhere on Sunny. It's not enough to say "he has a boyfriend/he's taken", the point is that he belongs to Arsenic specifically, and that no matter what he always will because there's literally branding all over him and not all of it will ever go away.

He is also very, very fond of the concept of matching with Sunny. Usually couples do this about clothes? But clothes are too superficial for Nick (and Sunny's too weird about clothes to ever change it anyway) and matching with their bodies feels more sincere/meaningful. For Nick though, no name, just hearts is fine — because they have a very strict power dynamic and they are not on equal ground. Sunny belongs to Nick, but Nick could walk away any second. Which means Sunny feels pressured to do everything Nick wants so that this doesn't happen. Making Sunny insecure about their relationship is one of Nick's greatest joys

I figured I could post this on here since y’all probably won’t be able to get that far in my main blog. But this is some tattoos I gave myself like 2 weeks ago?
