VENT POST:
Sick and tired of the "I can't remember a loved one's face, and therefore I should die" trope, where it makes you automatically suicidal or evil to not know what someone dear to you's meat mask looks like.
I have prosopagnosia, or face blindness, and while I get that this trope is associated with grief, it's often executed and handled extremely poorly
An example of this trope handled poorly is in Centaurworld, which, while I love the show, it has an entire musical number where the main character sings about not remembering her best friend's face, and that's her reason for JUMPING OFF A CLIFF-
Of course, she survives, and the rash decision she makes is frowned upon, but it's merely framed as "dying bad" and not "Hey, that doesn't make you a horrible person." It's not even addressed.
My response to that scene is always "Oh well fuck you, guess I'll just go die then"
I am not a bad person for not knowing what my girlfriend, my best friend, or my mother looks like. It doesn't affect how I feel about them, whatever way that may be. I still love my girlfriend and she is still beautiful to me, even if I can't remember why.
I know my disability is rare, but that doesn't make the message of this trope towards people like me any less hurtful. It shouldn't be seen as the obvious thought process to be suicidally depressed or a cold-hearted monster because you don't know what a face looks like.
This goes for blind people, and people with aphantasia as well. We're not evil or shameful. Please find a different way to convey grief and guilt without demonizing a disability

Bonus points if you all end up married
You are a rookie hero. While a dangerous supervillain was preoccupied, rival villains kidnapped his wife. You were the only hero willing to help get his wife to safety. The terrifying supervillain now wants to thank you in person.

Shout out to animators, the mere thought of what you do gives me anxiety
What're you talking about? It's still adorable
I literally screamed that I needed a plush of this goat seeing this scene
This is adorable without context
With context though....😶
The amount of meltdowns caused by this exact set of circumstances, usually mixed with dysphoria...
That shit gave me actual trauma
The first one, but more specifically "Won't wear socks unless they're adorable, in which case, I'll spend an insane amount of time readjusting the toe seam"
Bonus- "I found a pair of cheap halloween tights made of plastic that I didn't take off for several days because they hugged my thighs just right so I didn't have to constantly do my thigh-holding stim, then only when they ripped at the crotch, rendering them useless and causing a mental breakdown, did I take them off"
Still not legally diagnosed, believe it or not
Now I do it solo

Tumblr apparently doesn't like me agreeing with this
