TØP TRASH

11 ; this is not okay.

I would really like to speak out about something.

There's a fine line between romanticizing depression, anxiety, self harm, suicide and abuse, and simply using it as a background to a story.

I'm sure most of you will agree with me that making those things seem  romantic, or even cute, is wrong.

When your shaking violently from the fact that you can't stand to look into someone's eyes, that's not cute.
When you have to wear long sleeve shirts in the summer to hide your scars, that's not cute.
Feeling completely empty and abandoned, having no hope. That is not cute.
Wanting to end your own life is not cute.
Being abused by your family, or a significant other, is by no means cute, nor is it romantic.

There is NOTHING CUTE OR ROMANTIC ABOUT DEATH. Losing a loved one is one of the most painful things a person can endure, so there's absolutely nothing romantic about it. Yeah, okay, the hero in the movie dies for his love interest. BUT WHAT GOOD DOES THAT DO?!?

But most of all, I'm personally getting sick and tired of people WRITING FAN FICTIONS WHERE EITHER THE READER, OR JOSH, OR TYLER COMMIT SUICIDE.

PEOPLE.

THIS IS NOT OKAY.

Yes, Tyler and Josh have both suffered from all of the above mentioned issues. And 99% of the clique has too. So have I.

There's many things in this world that make us want to die. But Twenty Øne Piløts helps us!

SO WHY ARE Y'ALL KILLING THEM?!

Isn't a person's mind enough to destroy them?

This seriously needs to stop. Yeah, go right ahead and write stories about how Josh and/or Tyler helps you through whatever severe pain your going thru. Tell how they can help you defeat your Blurryface. How they already have.

But please don't kill them! And don't KILL YOURSELF! IN THE BOOK AND IN REAL LIFE!

Twenty Øne Piløts is here to help us. They love us. They need us.

Please don't take them away.

I just read a short fanfic, (who's writer shall remain unnamed) that ended up with Josh dying. And Tyler hanging himself shortly thereafter. And I WAS CRYING. I DIDN'T CRY AT MY GRANDMOTHERS FUNERAL. BUT I CRIED AT THAT. I have a heart disorder, I can't handle stuff like this.

I'm sorry if I've offended you with my opinion, but I feel very strongly about this, and I sincerely hope that others agree with me.

Write how they heal pain. But don't cause us pain by taking them away.

We've likely lost enough. Don't make us lose the two men who keep us alive.

I would not be alive if it were not for TØP.

You kill them, you kill me.

Please stop doing this to Josh and Tyler. I don't think they'd be happy with it either. Happy endings may be tacky and cliché to some, but deal with it. We're broken people, but that doesn't mean we can't have HAPPINESS. TØP is my happiness.

Please keep Tyler and Josh ALIVE.

Keep yourself alive.

On paper, and in real life.

Comment what y'all think.

Stay alive,

For me."
