Writing Advice On Mentally Ill Characters
Piece Of Advice: GO HARD!!!!!
When I see a mentally ill character who is prim and proper and only has "desirable" and not "inconvenient" traits I throw up inside my mouth and I want to spit it back at you!
Write mentally ill characters who are the biggest piece of shits alive!
Write mentally ill characters whose depression is demonstrated through self-destructive habits that hurt their loved ones emotionally and physically!
Write characters who have anger attacks so brutal they have to consciously convince themselves not to pull an Edgar Allen Poe "Black Cat" stunt on their pets!
Write mentally ill characters who are abusive and aren't justified or excused due to their past!
Write mentally ill characters who don't do the "sympathetic" or "good" things like taking their medicine or believe in "safe" things!
Write mentally ill characters who are burdens on their loved ones!
Write mentally ill characters who don't have perfect loved ones to turn to and don't blame their loved ones!
Because this is reality! Depression, anxiety, insecurity, anger issues, and general mental unwellness are not hurricanes that convenientally avoid wrecking the most important parts of a character's life!
Real life people deserve to see their dangerousness, suffering, and messiness reflected in characters!
Write hopeful stories about non-sympathetic and not-so perfect victims learning to grow! Sometimes the most hopeful thing alive is to learn that your worst fears of being a burden on your loved ones, of being a horrible person, of losing people you care about, are absolutely true and then have the courage to continue.
As a mentally ill person myself, I have been a mental load on my family! My mother can't understand me and has misappropiated the "cause" of my problems! My dad is a general piece of shit who is dealing with his own demons! My sisters don't live in the house and barely bother with contacting me.
And I am still alive. I am a horrible, incomphrensible burden with no friends and I am as happy as I can be! I feel whole. I feel complete.
Why can't stories ever seek to include people and stories like me?
Cringe Culture Is Dead!
You want to write a hot furry character but are afraid of the judgment? DON"T GIVE A CRAP AND BLOCK THE HATERS!
You are a trans person who wants to write a trans character who uses every single pronoun six ways til sunday? GO GET THAT BAG!
You want to write a hardcore smut fic with "disgusting" kinks! MAKE SURE TO TAG THAT SHIT PROPERLY AND ALSO GET THAT BAG!
You enjoy mainstream shit? COOL
You enjoy not mainstream shit? COOL
Whoever decided that having passions was "cringe" because it was either "too mainstream" or "not mainstream enough" can go behind that dumpster beside their establishment and cry like the fragile thing they're!
My favorite flavor of person is someone who is passionate! As long as you are tagging your shit properly and not harassing other people then the haters are being irrational!
YOU ARE THE AUTHOR AND NO MATTER WHAT U R INTO THERE IS GOING TO BE SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO IS LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT(me)

Writing Advice For Disabled Characters
Lesson One: GO HARD
When I see disabled characters who have symptoms that "just so happen" to be totally convenient and not problematic I want to fight you!
Write disabled characters whose burn scars actually come with nerve problems!
Write disabled characters who don't have a "tasteful beautiful and oh so symbolic" scar and just write "neutral scar that is beautiful not because of it's shape but because of the person it's on"!
Write disabled characters whose disability doesn't allow them to live totally indepedently! Maybe you can actually write mentally disabled characters who have caretakers and not have this be a flaw?
Write disabled characters who have "gross" symptoms such as urine/fecal incontinence!
Write disabled characters who don't have amazingly perfect friends who are respectful/understanding 100% of the time but they're trying!
Write disabled characters whose symptoms occasionally prevent them from doing the fun dangerous stuff because their mobility aid can't function properly or their chronic fatigue syndrome is acting up!
Keep this advice dear readers and writers: Disability is not a handbag that you can pick up and put down. Yes, disability is not the worst thing that can happen in a character's life BUT it's not a walk in the park.
If you can't handle representing disabled people in their not conventionally attractive and "easy" state then you don't want to write disabled people! You just want to write diversity brownie points that allow you to fawn over a hot "Technically Disabled" guy but not a "Real Life Disabled Person"
