The Red Flags of Ruby's Suicidality Throughout The Volume

It should be obvious, but this short essay will cover heavy subjects of suicide, so if you're uncomfortable with this subject matter please don't read this.

The first red flag was in episode 4, where Ruby contemplated erasing her current self due to her failures, after talking to her 'past self'.

This gets reinforced by the lyrics of Trapdoor, which is about how worthless and unneeded Ruby feels.

One common mindset among suicidal people is this: what if I'm useless? What if my friends don't need me anymore? What if they don't care about me? What if I'll keep ruining everything? Would the world be better without me?

Suicidal people are usually full of self-loathing and blame.

Even in the episode 7 fight Ruby felt useless after seeing C-PTSD red flags (they're not Neo hallucinations because she didn't see the Schnee manor grounds struggle with hacked Penny). In her eyes, the others are fighting well without her, so she's useless.

Another set of red flags is snapping at your loved ones, pushing them away and driving yourself into isolation. We see ALL these in episodes 7 and 8, with Ruby snapping at her friends and running away, and even pushing Little away.

And on top of it she feels like her friends don't care, the world is against her, etc. which is YET another red flag.

(Massive disclaimer that this is NOT anti WBY and they, especially Yang, tried to reach out to her throughout the volume.)

I'd like to mention that if your loved one attempts and you tried to help but couldn't do it, it is NOT your fault. We're not all experts and we try our best, so do not ever blame yourself for these things.

It's not uncommon for suicidal people to refuse help, and on top of it Ruby has always been selfless to self destructive levels.

And the last thing, her self blame over her loved ones dying. While Penny and Pyrrha were apparitions, they still reflected her self blame. And Little dying? The final straw.

So her suicide attempt in the end was being built up all volume.

All I can say is that I hope Ruby somehow gets rescued and also recovers from her mental health problems because JESUS CHRIST.

This was a bit hard for me to write, especially as someone with BPD and frequent suicidal tendencies. This topic hits hard for me. However, I'm not an expert and this post shouldn't be taken as gospel. There may be details even I missed, so feel free to add your own observations.

And remember that if you are suicidal as well, you're not alone. You'll always have people who care about you, and resources to help out.

Where did this whole Summer joined Salem willingly theory come from anyway?

I'm not sure if there's an earlier source, but I know @bestworstcase talks a lot about it and would be able to explain it more coherently than I could lmao

Scroll through her blog for a bit and you should find her posts about it no problem

slides in. the irony of the shoutout here is i actually don’t think i have ever like, specifically laid out my reasoning i just gesture expansively at it a lot hfhgfg

but!

the whole thing’s really predicated on how i read salem—i think when you say “summer joined salem willingly” what that evokes for a lot of people is this kind of edgy, like, shocking twist evil villain summer, which is obviously absurd; for myself (and i think, most people who are on this train with any seriousness), “summer joined salem” has to go hand-in-hand with “and salem isn’t a genocidal lunatic, her side of this war is about defiance of the gods.” otherwise it’s just nonsense.

“Luigi… thunder.” -Original description

As part of an effort to preserve deleted posts by the original owner of Supper Mario Broth, here is the Luigi Thunder song. According to the author, the song was intended to be a quick practice for applying pitch shifting in the FL Studio digital audio workstation. The author is very pleased with the response the song has received over the years.

Since I’ve started using a cane, I’ve noticed a lot of actors & cartoonists aren’t sure how to depict characters with them! Here’s a simple cheat sheet to help.

Also remember, the cane may not always be depicted on the same side every single time you draw the character.

If the character has a dynamic disability like fibromyalgia or chronic pain issues/joint pain, or EDS, or other types of disabilities that can shift in severity from day to day, the character may swap which side the cane is based on where the pain or weakness is.

(You also can write/draw a character who was never taught how to use a cane properly, and thus uses it on the "wrong" side... The TV character Greg House famously used a cane for his leg that was injured in a motorcycle accident and was on TV for years using a cane incorrectly... And thousands of disabled people learned how to use a cane by watching House. Just remember that if your character uses a cane improperly, it will also affect their body and muscles eventually, so please remember to include consequences!)
