I’m gonna take Kipperlilly from some of yall 👀 you can like a villain without trying to clear their name. She objectively is a murderer and a villain this season. It does not make you a “””””bad Person””””” if you like her. You do not have to try and age her down or make her out to be innocent or gentle or sweet or misunderstood. You do not get to use her mental health to excuse her actions either.
At this point, a lot of these post are getting into slippery slope territory, especially concerning mental health. You can be mentally ill and still understand right from wrong. Infantilizing people struggling with their mental health can cause harm. There are mentally ill people that can/will/do go their entire lives without blaming and trying to harm others because of what they’re going through.
Like I feel like we’ve officially hit Joaquin Phoenix Joker levels of ‘we live in a society’ discourse. Yes, there are things that suck and living with mental health issues and having that make your life harder sucks. But then funneling that feeling of unfairness and frustration into harming other people is not okay or justifiable. It’s a clear sign that someone went untreated or their mental health was not taken seriously enough soon enough.
There are a lot of young and impressionable people in the d20 community (a community that is overwhelmingly very supportive and cognizant of mental health) that will see the KLCK discourse and take some of these things to heart. Please be mindful in what you post. She is a fictional character and in context of the story, instead of getting further help or seeking better treatment for her mental health, she chose to harm people. Some responsibility does fall on her in that regard. Not all, but some. There is a point where things get very concerning when you become a danger to yourself or others, Kipperlilly is in that place to be very clear. She needs help.
Yes she is underage, and I do think Jawbone has a heavy responsibility to either reach out to her parents to report her behavior and figure out a treatment plan for her immediately. This never happened, even when she admitted to wanting to kill Kristen. She continued on, untreated and without her rage issues not being fully addressed. Then she murdered someone.
Infantilizing Kipperlilly to absolve her of her wrongdoing isn’t the convo we should be having. Figuring out where she falls on the morality scale does nothing, she’s one of the villains of the season, by that metric, she’s not a great person (not because of her rage disorder, because of her actions.) There are complexities to her. The conversation we should be having is why not a single faculty member or adult that interacted with her and witnessed this behavior didn’t say “woah hey, let’s pump the breaks and get you assessed for a few things and get to the root of what’s going wrong.”
When you see someone struggling, reach out, assess the situation. If you’re an adult and are in a position to help, don’t hesitate to do so or notify a parent or guardian in their life so they get them help. If you’re underage and see a peer struggling, check in and if something sticks out to you as concerning, reach out to an adult that can help or find someone to help. Don’t enable violent or harmful behavior. /Please/ that person can end up hurting themselves or someone else.
#I- listen I will go on about mental health all fucking day#it is VERY important to me#I’m not a professional or a doctor#I’m only speaking from personal experience of having family and friends with mental health issues as well as dealing with my own since I#was 12 years old#I’m now 24 and I have been consistently in therapy the entire time thankfully#initially because my mom and sister saw what I was going through and got me help and then Into my teen years to present day I continued to#seek treatment#it is dangerous to enable behavior like Kipperlilly’s#it is deeply irresponsible as well#like no she’s not real but the kids in the fandom are#dimension 20#fantasy high junior year#d20 fhjy#fhjy

Artemis Fowl
///
The Atlantis Complex
#artemis fowl#at once Artemis needed treatment for the complex.#and yet!#it is striking the way his mental illness is used to briefly make him a captive of the fae#inverting his meeting with Holly#as from what we see with argon artemis is deemed 'functional' due to being able to flatter the man's ego in certain ways#It would be interesting to think about what meaningful and productive mental health support for Artemis would look like

Every day I wake up and remember Liam Dunbar was underdevelopped by the showrunners
#okay hear me out#his ied.#why was it never talked about more#like 1. talking about mental health in a show aimed at teenagers and young adults is so important imo#2. the way they handle it??? omg it's so bad???#like BASIC RESEARCH would've been enough to understand the disorder and write it coherrently into the storyline but no#beta with anger issues??? are you fucking kidding me????#the treatment of mental health in medias sometimes make me so mad#okay apart from mental health#why did they not develop anything about the lad#his interest in history? his relation with his parents? did he have friends in his old school? anything about him being good at lacrosse?#i will admit that i enjoyed most of his storyline and traits appearing with theo#like theo helping as an anchor and actually caring for his anger meanwhile the others are just like#'yeah go ahead get angry put your mental health at risk so we can do this that's great'#thiam#you get it#idk what this post is#anyways i researched more about ied and the show could've explained so much more but no bare minimum is all we get#liam dunbar#teen wolf#teen wolf liam#mental health in medias#urgh

what’s there not to understand about hypomania? you know when you get overtired, and like a toddler, you get all hyperactive and also want to cry or do Every Fun Thing you can think of and it actually becomes harder to sleep? like as a result of too much overwhelm or being so emotionally exhausted that’s how your body makes you able to cope, the aftereffects of too much adrenaline? just imagine being stuck like that. and every day it triggers itself more, overload of emotional whiplash and energy and you’ve lost all ability to think rationally and you can do anything at this point, because why not? you’ve got nothing left in you to hold back on any idea that could be exciting and stop you from falling into the void where the wiredness you feel has nothing to latch onto to burn off that nervous energy in a positive way, emotionally. for days or weeks or months on end. you don’t need to have ever experienced this fully to extrapolate and be like. yeah. I can see how it would suck eventually to get stuck like that
#at this point I’m begging people to see the overlap with adhd too bc anecdotally it seems like everyone I know also has that#and the overlap with bpd and hpd but I think the main difference is. being stuck in that high energy state. even when the energy turns sad#and bitter and hopeless. it’s essentially just overstimulation from your own brain. gets stuck overstimulating itself to cope maybe?#like i know people say it’s not triggered by life events but they sometimes can trigger it. but imho depression is gonna trigger it too#eventually. anything where everything is Too Much can start the positive feedback loop that’s almost impossible to turn off#which if you don’t know what a positive feedback loop is. means smth triggers smth which goes back and triggers its original trigger#thus getting bigger and bigger in magnitude. it’s like the chicken and the egg. egg makes chicken and chicken makes egg. more egg more#chicken and more chicken more egg. as opposed to a negative feedback loop which by the time there gets enough of smth it stops triggering#making more of it. your body relies on negative feedback loops for smth called homeostasis which is basically keeping everything stable#so obv positive feedback loops are gonna do the opposite of stable. in this case for your energy and your mood#most people are able to sleep better when they’re tired. my hypothesis of hypomania is when being tired makes you less able to rest#and that obviously spirals in on itself. mania would just be an extension of that I guess? but in some people it does happen really fast so#I get the narrative that it’s a chemical imbalance bc it is. but the specific imbalance being the tendency to a positive feedback loop make#more sense to me too. and can be why predictability and external cycles to ground yourself to are so important#there’s also never a 0% chance of you ever having a manic episode btw. anyones brain can theoretically get into this loop it’s just that if#you’re genetically predisposed to bipolar you’re much more likely to! and that’s okay. you can manage it with meds and lifestyle#but it makes sense why lowering stress (which can trigger this cycle) is such an important part of treatment and management#anyway. hopefully I’m not like. horribly horribly wrong or smth. in the end I can only speak for my experience so lmk if I’m missing smth#bipolar awareness#bipolar 2#hypomania#personal mental health tag#neurodivergence#would you believe I was reminiscing about a concert I went to once. and it made me think of all this

Speaking of Tyrest. A lot of people forget that he treated Pharma with absolute disdain, not only using him as a test subject for a clearly painful mass murder machine, but talking to Pharma like he saw him as nothing but some henchman to order around that was nothing more than a 'diseased cripple' if Tyrest hadn't come to rescue him.
Like it really is an interesting background dynamic with some curious implications, but when you look at fandom posts from around that issue/the years after, for some reason people just saw "Pharma worked with Tyrest" and concluded Pharma is a card carrying bigot ksjfnskxkd. Like yeah Pharma didn't do anything to stop Tyrest but it seems his main beef with the Autobots was with Ratchet in particular and maybe a general disdain for his ex-comrades. As well as continuing to hate Decepticons which like, not even the "good Autobots" are immune to (even in Pharma's introduction, First Aid says in his journal something like "yeah we all hate Decepticons, but Pharma REALLY hates them"). And despite what fandom likes to construe there's really no evidence in IDW1 that Autobots and Decepticons are different "races" or "types" of Cybertronians, so Pharma hating Decepticons really isn't a bigotry/robot racism thing. And instead probably has something to do with, idk, the 4 million year long galaxy-spanning blood feud war, or maybe being blackmailed and tortured into insanity by the Biggest and Most Decepticon-y of Decepticons.
Tyrest treated Pharma like trash, the other Decepticons working for Tyrest (how come no one ever brings that up btw) also hated him, so if anything it seems that Pharma was more of a rogue element only staying with Tyrest bc he was his best option and probably had no way to even escape.
I'm glad that at least in recent years the fandom has acquired a keen reading eye and good taste to finally recognize Pharma as the (accidentally) complex character he is instead of making him some posh, racist Starscream clone SHSJDGSGDH
#squiggposting#pharma apologism#yeah i'm apologisting again i guess my mental health is somewhat okay again dkdkkxckkddkd#(my followers seeing me post about pharma) nature is healing#there's also that line where pharma says 'maybe i can help' and skids is like#'fuck off and hope we don't beat you to death after this is over'#they didnt know that pharma was a test subject of the killswitch but wow#that's prolly one of the most out of pocket moments of the story that ive never seen anyone mention#honestly that moment is why i think JRO didnt intend pharma to be That Deep#i feel like that sort of 'not even other autobots like him' treatment is something#that comes up a lot in JRO's villain writing. or like asshole behavior towards some characters#is just plot events proceeding as usual. nothing to see just villains getting their due#tho tbh pharma's character in general suffers from the problem that he's so closely related to a main/major characyer#that it wouldve made way more sense for him to be written in earlier#so all his connections w/ ratchet and the plot had to be established retroactively#also speaking of 'asshole behavior excused bc it's towards a villain'#all those times when people are like (fucking amazing piece of medical research by pharma)#'then he started murdering his patients. what a piece of shit'#like idk it could have been intentional but imo all my readings of pharma were not really intended by JRO#and i'm fully just headcanoning and constructing theories on my own#like pharma was simply not important enough or a major enough character to get fleshed ojt#so basically we get enough pieces of him to establish continuity and a general timeline of his life and thats all

quick note - this blog is gonna be sparse again for at least this week. trying new medications and tbh initial side effects are not super pleasant + actual effects build up. as a result: currently as if unmedicated for mental health, with anxiety+ side effect, extra fatigue, dizziness, and fatigue. it's uh, sure something.
totally recognize that most of y'all know we're absent at times due to health things, just wanted to give a heads up that this one is at least anticipated.
#fun fact sometimes condensing meds just means poorer treatment of some conditions#this is a re-expansion + new thing#so that instead of poorly treating my mental health and using an unusually high dose SNRI for another (physical) condition#i will hopefully both be in less pain AND not depressed af AND also have an appetite again#i doubt i will be lucky and not have a fucked stomach due to meds but one can hope that an appetite will allow me to eat foods that upset#my stomach a lot less#my health is forever a massive balancing act#every time a medical thing is like 'so what meds do u take' i'm like here i wrote it down for u#and they're like 'oh. ooookay. let me just...' *five minutes of typing and clicking later*#'so! what did you come in for again? uhuh. you said you experience pain daily? with your chronic pain thing? hm. have you tried yoga?'#/gen#like. straight up every time i say 'i am in pain all the time due to fibromyalgia' they are like 'ooh studies say regular exercise helps'#and like. theoretically yes! but also. i would be lying if i said the fibromyalgia studies i've skimmed don't set off general 'bad science'#alarm bells in my brain#like... cool you performed a fibromyalgia study with... all male lab rats? mhmm? so are you aware fibromyalgia appears to occur#overwhelmingly in women? like. data seems to suggest between 70-85%?#(not that the data can't still indicate things but it certainly makes male rats a poor choice of model for tests on it)#also just... idk i've looked at some metaanalysis and been like 'okay cool theory and for all i know about human bio or bio in general that#sounds more or less correct BUT. you never discussed that one study on this subject that did NOT support your conclusion.#and that's 1) interesting when it was the most diverse group of subjects and the exceptions often teach just as much as the 'rule'#2) just shitty science. tell me how your theory is still credible when some evidence doesn't fit the model.#like... 'given that all other studies were primarily conducted on white american women in their 30s to 40s it is possible that this model#only explains (the early effects of fibro since that's a typical onset period) / (a possible genetic link primarily found in white women) /#(a possible sign of bias in diagnosis that demonstrates the possibility that there are different causes) / combinations of all of those#like... idk a paper that just throws out things that don't support it is a pretty big red flag#it doesn't mean the conclusion is entirely incorrect but it is often important to understand the context in which it applies#like... it's very easy to jump to an incorrect conclusion if you used something in the wrong context#ie: thumbs up is a good job / positive thing in a lot of western civilizations. teenage kee once went to china and discovered it to be#neutral to offensive in many areas outside of major tourist locations that were used to it#anyways i gotta sleep

A big part of why every single suicide prevention strategy fails to work on me is that I have absolutely no reason to trust a single thing anyone says
They have a single goal in mind (convince me to continue living) and because that goal is perceived as an objective good, pretty much anything is permitted in pursuit of said goal, including just outright lying
That isn't me exaggerating or anything, I've had plenty of people say outright that they will say literally anything if they think it'll convince me, whether or not they think its remotely true, so at the end of the day I have no reason to take a single thing they say as remotely trustworthy cause anything they can and often is a futile attempt at tricking me into doing what they want
#and that's when they bother to actually check what the problem even is#most of the time they just assume I'm a depressed teenager in southern California and work from there#I am perceived as inherently delusional so any description of my life is immediately dismissed as a cognitive distortion#I've been called a doomer for accurately describing the treatment of queer people in my country#also love how when they realise what they're doing doesn't help at all they just decide that must be entirely my fault#that or they say they no longer care about my problems then tell me to kill myself#cw suicide#depression#mental health

Just! Yeah! Can we pls not fall into the ~old fashioned mental health care was so fucked up bc they did horrible things to NORMAL WOMEN, (not just freaks who deserve institutionalized torture)~ trap like pls I am begging!! Modern psychiatric care is also rooted in the same saneist and ableist annd racist and misogynist bullshit, just dressed up in a nicer outfit. Institutionalization is incarceration, and people suffer enormously in psychiatric hospitals at the hands of horrible power hungry staff and also approved treatments every single day. Autonomy in mental health care is not a given, and we need to be very careful about assuming that non consensual torture does not happen anymore in mental hospitals. I think it’s important we discuss it, and I am eager to hear/see more of what Taylor has to say (I think her bringing it up is suuuper reasonable and a very ripe creative world for her to explore so I’m not saying nobody should talk about it). Like. Just. The assumptions. Pls. Can’t believe this is a post I’m making on my swiftie tumblr but here we are!
#Like I know nobody says it like this and they don’t mean it like this but that is the impact of what they are saying#Seen it a couple times already in like 5 minutes#And this is not me saying that mental health treatment is all bad. It’s not. The key is about consent and autonomy and community care.#Tw: institutions#Tw: mental hospital#Tw: ableism#tw: psych ward#C

First: HONEY DON'T FEEL BAD FOR CRITIQUING THERAPISTS AND THE WAY SHITS RUN! WE NEED TO HEAR THAT! I'm in mental health, and there are some REAL nasty pieces of work in the field who like preying on patients' vulnerability, and they're damn good at manipulating the systems and social dynamics!
Second, everyone should check this out. It brings up so many good points and considerations to make when seeking therapy or another mental health related service.
#also kudos to the peeps in the comments calling out CBT#thank you for affirming it is not the end all be all for treatment and can even be detrimental to healing if the clients background isn't#acknowledged in full#“if theres so much corruption why dont you guys do anything about it?”#i did! and yknow what happened?#i lost my job and got black listed 😃#cause of a single therapist that has so many connections to the clinics in the region#if i ever work at a clinic again its gotta be out of my county#the toxic therapists that benefit from the beauracratic policies will throw you under a bus and run you over and over for even breathing a#word that they don't give a fuck about people healing and will even sabotage a clients healing to keep getting a paycheck#“theres no profit to be made unless people are always sick” comes to mind#mental health#sorry guys#im really passionate about this stuff#Youtube

i’m sorry but ACTUALLY FIRST OF ALL the whole lawsuit happened because fifi wanted financial transparency they didn’t ask for anything they weren’t looking to leave none of that it then came to light that the mistreatment those girls went through was borderline abuse if not downright abuse you are telling me that one of them had 2 eds and as a result developed hormonal changes that stopped her period, another one of them suffered from seizures black outs and deep panic disorder and social phobia and she was not given the opportunity to get help and treatment not only that she was also at risk of KIDNEY FAILURE bc of the DIETS ENFORCED ON THE MEMBERS and lastly the youngest member who had cholecystitis and required emergency surgery to remove her gallbladder THAT COULD TURN CANCEROUS IF NOT TREATED IMMEDIATELY had her treatment postponed in favour of promoting their single at the time and when she was finally ALLOWED TO receive surgery they were pressuring her to get back out on stage performing A WEEK AFTER when she required weeks to recover which led to further distress and yall are gonna sit here like dumb stupid fucking ducks and be like “well they breached the terms of their contract so they have to face the legal consequences :// also the company literally said none of that happened so i am gonna continue to support the next group they put out” i pray for the sake of these new girls they are debuting that they don’t face a FRACTION of what fifty fifty went through
#yall are fucking deranged actually#boycott attrakt#fifty fifty#fuck yall for real#it’s always about idols mental health and fuck these companies#until it acc come to doing smth substantial for these kpop idols#liek what makes you think new idols signed to that company are exempt from that treatment what makes you think they won’t face the same fate#yous are spineless losers#fuck you sinceruly like from the bottom of my heart

the fancy pants guy at my psych clinic had a fancy shirt on last time i went and it was a delight to see him as always
#It Speaks#i think hes a peer support specialist which is just someone who also gets treatment but is further along than you by their metric#basically a friend with psychiatric benefitsdskghskfgh#they have this thing called the wraparound approach which is like. intensive. but honestly i think its useful they just.#nobody read the room that i was too autistic to do my appointments in a fucking CUBICLE space#so ive been going to telehealth for appointments with people who dont have offices#its helped my ability to understand whats going on immensely#i reccomend checking into it for anyone who is struggling with sensory overload in mental health spaces bc this should be a full time optio#fingers cross ours miiiiiiiight have a program to sign up for a tablet with service so if the internet goes out i can still keep up#not hinging all my bets but its a possibility like the bus service thing im going to ask about and am writing in my book rn#i am going to access these services that are allowed to me for my problems even if it kills me
