#very mentally well sounding post dw abt it

[gemharvest]

"I should go to bed by 12 I have work in the morning" vs. the nefarious. I just started feeling again. And wanna do things.

[norwa-y-blog]

i want to make a webcomic type thing w/ sorta personifications of mental illnesses (in a mostly positive light, enough to get the point across that ppl w/ mental illnesses aren’t monsters(coughs @ s//plit) not positive enough to make people wish they had mental illnesses / try to fake them or like. so positive it downplays the fact that As Mentally Ill People we sorta suffer.) the thing is that im lowkey scared i’ll do one Very Wrong and also another reason i had this idea was bc it feels like the only mental illnesses a majority of people (based on what i know) actually know are stuff like ptsd, bipolar, depression, bpd, and then adhd + autism / basically the ones commonly made into jokes. it might actually show people.......... these jokes r harmful............  and also other mental illnesses exist

and despite what it sounds like i would not be reducing people to their mental illnesses or making it entirely centred around their mental illnesses, everyone would be a genuinely good person w/ actual personalities, (well, technically everyone can still b an asshole at different po itns but nobody is gonna be like, murder or whatever.)

and also it probably will never happen bc it would probably suck since 90% of the time everyone would probably be dissociating

td;lr i want to do something that could either be helpful and good or extremely ablest and i dont want to seem ablest at all SO can people tell me what they think abt the idea / if it was a thing if it would be a Good Idea to consult actual ppl w/ x mental illness when developing characters (actually i know thats probably a good idea but volunteers,)

if a majority of people think its ablest i’ll scrap the idea all together dw unlike the creators of split im not gonna go on w/ an idea that would overall b harmful 

also please send asks to @coqycat feedback instead of reblogging this post

u can reblog if you wanna boost it tho i just dont want to have a conversation in reblogs it’ll become Very Long
