Tomatt - ♡ Beautiful Boy ♡

its not okay (a/n)

hi
for some reason people are still reading this fic, so i wanted to make a few announcements since i failed to do so at the beginning.

one -
i am IN NO WAY intending to mock, trivialize, or make any sort of light out of depression, suicide, abuse, ptsd, self harm, alcoholism, and/or any of the other mental illnesses/serious topics aforementioned in this fic.
those are very serious things and i personally think i was a tad heavyhanded on the focus of those things, as i know many of the audience is younger folk who should not be exposed to possibly misunderstanding/misinterpreting my intentions of this fic, but they're there and there isn't much i can do about them except write this paragraph.
there was no intent to normalize the topics covered, i used this fic as an outlet and a coping mechanism as i had suffered from/was suffering through many (if not all) of the things i included, and i did not talk about a topic that i was entirely ignorant about. albeit i did not know everything on the topics, i still think to this day that i spoke about them and represented them the best i could at the time.

two -
i've seen a big lot of people 'relating' or saying things like 'same XDD' in response to some of the serious things the characters in this fic say/feel, and i would like to tell those of you who say these things or feel this way, from the bottom of my heart:
get some professional help. tell someone who can do something; your parents, your principal, your school councilor. if you genuinely feel this way, and feel like harming or have harmed yourself, seek professional help. these are very serious problems, and i am obviously not of any authority over you, but from one sufferer to another, i genuinely implore you to seek professional help as soon as you can.
if you feel like harming yourself or committing suicide, here's a hotline if you can't reach out to anyone else:
1-800-273-8255
these kinds of comments make me incredibly uncomfortable and i cannot stand such topics be taken so lightly.
please take care of yourself, i promise you it's worth it in the long run.

three -
this one is much less sensitive, but just as important.
the characters portrayed in this story are fictional and fictional ONLY. they are in no way to be correlated with their real life counterparts and i do not want to see any genuine ill-intention (or any intention at all) directed towards any of the real creators, no matter how i portray their fictional counterparts in this fic.

i'm sure there are plenty of other psa's i could cover, as this fic was a trainwreck, but these are the main things that still bother me, and by now this fic gets as much traffic as a fifty-mile-an-hour speed limit dirt road on the outskirts of new mexico during the late summer anyway.

be safe, tell your friends you love them, and thanks for reading the fic.
