We’re Dying Together

@astarvinggod

I’m just as confused as you

Attention

If you're schizophrenic/schizospec in some way, have/experience psychosis, extreme paranoia, hallucinations, delusions, or in general have a mental illness / neurological condition that is widely demonized (like most cluster b disorders)

Could you please take a moment to leave a word or two about representation? I'm making this post so that people with misunderstood mental conditions could get a boost in talking about representation, and for everyone else to learn something valuable relating to portraying characters like that in original works (or fanworks too!)

Basically, I'm gathering input from people who live with these conditions about what they'd like to see more, in terms of representation in media, harmful stereotypes or pitfalls to avoid, and how to appropriately portray mental illness in fantasy settings for example.

So if you have anything you think would be valuable to know for people outside your group or community, feel free to add on! In reblogs or comments. No pressure though! You can only mention one thing for example, or maybe one criticism and one wish for what you'd like in representation. Don't be ashamed to go on a long rant either, if you have stuff to say! Whatever you feel like commenting on! I'll try to boost all/as many responses as this post gets.

If you're not part of the group I'm asking input from, please reblog for a wider reach if possible!

Obviously I know even people within the same communities can have different opinions and preferences for representation, which is why I wish we could get a wide range of responses to this.

Thank you in advance!

We sat there, staring into the dark night, as silence seeped deep through the air. Turning to face her, her awe in my sight. It was more awful than I could ever bare. She shines bold and bright, slicing through the deep. She looks to the sky, a fight to stay; the stars above begging in weep. With a sad smile, a want to go home. Back to celestial Nile and back to divine Rome. She couldn’t refuse, she had to leave. Stars came screaming in swarms. The stars taunt me as I grasp to her arms, one last kiss, a final goodbye. I tell her be happy, a soft sad lie. Kisses came sweet, like honey in tea. But this kiss tasted more bitter, like young fruit from a spring tree. A desperate prayer to any god who’d listen, to stay there in the sweet. I wanted to stay in it with her, but she the bitter was hard to compete. She was destined for greatness, and beauty, and perfect love. But all that waited for me was salt and iron, bite and blood. I started down this tunnel, with an end of her light in mind. But I’ve been walking alone for so long, something I never seem to find. I turn around, but last her star pin light is gone, and I’m trapped in the midst of the void. It’s dark here, I can’t see what was. All love lost, and destroyed.

From angelic, to subterranean, and further now to monstrous. Ode to my fall of Eden, fall from Hades, and fall down to walk the earth. No punishment is greater that living among to most evil of being. I breath with humanity, creation buried, destruction wide. 🌊

If you look kinda nasty, than make yourself even nastier. Go full garbage can, that way you own that nastiness...that way it’s yo bitch👁

If you don’t like the flesh you preside in, know that it will decay just like the very earth you walk on. So just focus on living, before I snatch your diaphragm and leave you bleeding out in a Wendy’s restroom🍱

Drinck wodder, it’s yummyyyyyy🦷

Dumby dumb, don’t listen to sad songs when your sad brain. (Sad)*2= Big Sad 🧮

If the gods cared, we would stand on the brink of the heavens. Yet the pit grows...🪐

Everything is made of star dust, which is pretty epic considering the fact that you’re decay will eventually stretch, and dissolve into an ever hungery black hole🌚

Fate is only controlling, when you don’t know how to live wrong🏔

The best friendships are built on bitching to each other. Trust me, I have seven billion, five hundred thirty two thousand, eight hundred and sixty four friends, and we bitch about capitalism aaaaall the time🗡

If I’m not murdered by a corrupt and controlling power, then did I live to begin with?💀

Being trapped in a body full of fault and error is utter torture, hence the consequence of existence within life. 🌸

A message to which ever of the gods stuck me in a carbon based, introskeletal, Homo Saipan form...when I get home, I’m packing you a lunch, and sending you to the Seventh Circle of Hell. 🥀
