*Avarice Laughs In Pure Joy.

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.

Wingding (Child Abuse)

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.

Sans (Self-Injury)

Addiction to Self-Harm

Stereotypes: 

I hurt myself, therefore I’m Suicidal.

I always hurt myself using a knife.

I can stop whenever I feel like it.

~

Real:

Not everyone who hurt themselves wants to die. A lot of people hurt themselves because the just want to feel something, or it temporarily fills a hole inside them. Many because they feel like they don’t have control, and hurting themselves gives them just a little bit back.

     Once I was talking to a friend who use to scratch themselves. I remember asking them if it was worth it. I don’t remember fully what they said because it was a few years ago, but it was along the lines of “If you mean it fills the emptiness inside and makes me feel normal, then yes.” They moved, so I don’t know if their answer would have changed.

     My own experience, I used to forced myself to stay awake. It made me feel in control of a life I thought I had zero say in what happened. Was it worth it? Yeah. It allowed me to get over my insomnia. There was a cost, though. When my sleep schedule gets messed up, it takes weeks to repair. So would I do it again? No.

There are many ways people hurt themselves. Self harm means anything you do to intentionally sabotage yourself. This can be anywhere from burning and cutting, to something as simple as not letting yourself sleep.

Self harm can become an addiction. There’s a reason why I have Sans as Addiction to Self-Harm. Like I said above, it does something that the person likes. And it can be hard to see the downside of it. It can become an addiction. You can’t just take an addiction away. It can destroy people further.

Well, dang it. I draw Doomverse!Killer once and now I'm completely obsessed with his design.

Wrath: "I don't know how Nightmare ever delt with you."

Killer: "Lol."

I dunno if Killer is still a brat after being infected, but it seems like a core piece of his personality.

These are old and irrelevant. Current refs are under NeurosisRefs

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.
