If you really want to help people who have been victims/survivors of abuse and/or people with mental illness, please give a little more effort to how you speak.

‘You don’t deserve to be treated poorly’ > ‘Don’t let people treat you poorly’

‘You haven’t done anything you need to apologize for, it’s okay’ > ‘Stop saying sorry all the time, you didn’t do anything wrong’

‘They were trying to get into your head, it’s not your fault that they succeeded’ > ‘No one can make you feel inferior without your consent’

Please focus more on validating, supporting and reminding people that they deserve better than the way they were treated, and the way they think about themselves. Please stop spreading the idea that guilt, shame, insecurity and maltreatment are things people bring upon themselves.

You’re not helping people if you blame them for feeling the perfectly natural emotions that come from trauma and mental illness. Nobody ‘lets’ bad things happen to them. Nobody ‘chooses’ to be hurt or ashamed.

characters that go through hell yet still believe in the goodness of humanity, still hope for the best despite everything, refuse to let darkness consume them because someone somewhere is always going to be good are literally my favourite, because they give me that little hope too

My beautiful indigestible puzzle boy, eaten and ABC (Already Been Chewed) four (4) times and still kicking his lil leggies
Whenever you have to save Trico-

me: can’t tell if i genuinely relate to a character or if i’m just projecting my personality onto them because of some small detail

straight people writing closeted gay characters: every day…i Suffer because i Lie….i feel so filthy for my Lies and my gayness…i must lust after every same-gender person i see…i am so jealous of the straights, for i can never be Free like them….
me: fuck i almost outed myself because i couldn’t resist a gay joke again
