She doesn't always have the white eyes. They actually only appear when she's really happy.
River is an Empath.
An Empath is someone who has very high amounts of empathy. Often to the point of feeling other people's emotions. And it's often hard for them to tell if the emotions they feel belong to themselves, or to someone else.
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
It's Undertale's 6th Anniversary and I'm posting this now because I forgot to post it this morning.

This is a video released in 2018. It talks about his channel and a friend of his, but he gives a very important message. So if you could give a few minutes to listen...

Childhood Abuse
Stereotypes:
Because I suffered from child abuse, I have PTSD

Real:
By all means, they can. But not everyone does. If you and your sibling were abused, your sibling could get it and not you. Not only PTSD, but just about everything. Depression, not guaranteed. Anxiety, nope. Suicidal, definitely not.
Child Abuse is a serious problem, though.

Antisocial Personality Disorder and Psychopathy
Stereotypes:
Psychopaths are emotionless
Psychopaths don’t care about anyone but themselves
The Hollywood psychopath
All murders are psychopaths

Real:
Psychopath is not an psychiatric term, nor is it a psychiatric diagnosis. It may or may not be a sub diagnosis for ASPD (more commonly known as Sociopathy), but that's still up for debate. I personally believe they are different, yet closely correlated.
Those with ASPD are not emotionless. They just don’t feel emotions as strong. However, most don’t see to feel fear. This often causes them to create a “mask” to fit in with society.
I don't have anything educational to correct this. This one is more belief than anything else.
Psychopaths shown in movies are VERY wrong. They aren’t insane. Most of them act like normal people.
Not all psychopaths are killers (very few actually are), and not all killers are psychopaths. You can have regular people be serial killers (bet that’s comforting to think about).

I- Come on, people. Telling someone to kill themselves?
Do you realize how many people will? Search up some statistics.
Everyone who is having this problem, please know that there are a lot of people who love you. Don't listen to those who tell you otherwise.
About a week ago I posted this.
I’ve been getting horrible messages like this in my ask for months, including:
and my personal favorite
After getting the message saying “Just go kill yourself” I was completely done dealing with this person’s horrible messages and replied with just an “Okay.” and logged off tumblr.
About a week later I logged back on with 17 messages in my ask, most of them from the anon. I scrolled down and at first when I logged off, the anon messaged me things like
I scrolled up more and all of a sudden they started sending me more and more messages like
This was extremely surprising to me. I thought “After all those horrible messages you sent to me for MONTHS about hating me and wanting me dead, you say ‘sorry’ and that you ‘cant be responsible for someone’s suicide’?”
But I guess the lesson goes like this:
DONT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN
