Gentle Reminder

“I don’t think you understand that those characters are just fictional-”

I honestly see nothing wrong with self insert art.

Sometimes we just need to make art for ourselves. There’s nothing wrong with drawing yourself with your favourite characters, don’t be afraid of doing it!

Anyone else only in their 20s but feel like they are running out of time to get their life together??

Happy 58th Birthday to Michael J. Fox! ❤

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God’s business.

Just a reminder that you are NOT responsible for anyone's happiness !!!!

It's good to be there for your friends, but you matter too. Don't push yourself too hard, okay? Your health is important.

Remember to take care of yourselves too !!!

it honestly feels so hurtful & insulting to see people ID as fictionkin for "fun" when my experience with it is extremely personal & intertwined with emotional pain. these people obviously don't understand the unique experiences that come with being fictionkin, however this is tumblr so everyone is 100% "valid".

I tend to agree, anon. Sadly, not everyone understands how hurtful that can be.

Otherkin ≠ Mental Illness

A mental disorder (also called a mental illness, or psychiatric disorder) is a diagnosis, most often by a psychiatrist, of a behavioral or mental pattern that may cause suffering or a poor ability to function in life.

Identifying as otherkin is not, by itself, mental illness.

Identifying as otherkin is not, by itself, unhealthy.

Identifying as otherkin is not, by itself, a delusion.

HOWEVER

A person who identifies as otherkin may also have an unrelated mental illness.

A person who identifies as otherkin and has a poor ability to function as a result, may be mentally ill.

Identifying as otherkin is not an excuse for bad or anti-social behavior.

FURTHER

It is not okay to bully and harass people who are mentally ill.

It is not the job of random Tumblr users to determine if someone is mentally ill or not.

The stigma that “mentally ill” people are “bad” or “crazy” is harmful and needs to end.
