y’all i’m scrolling through my wattpad recommended and holy shit y’all why the fuck are there so many depressed ahsoka fanfics
i’ve seen six in the last ten minutes of looking for something to read
i think a lot of people are starting to romanticize depression and self harm, which really isn’t something to romanticize. i’ve read a lot of stories where it’s just ahsoka being sad for the sake of ahsoka being sad and her harming herself for no goddamn reason.
i get the people that have gone through this kind of stuff and want to tell their story through the eyes of a character. they know how it feels and knows how to accurately describe what was going on in a depressed persons head.
but the people who write these books for clout or just for the hell of it are honestly awful people.
you shouldn’t be romanticizing such a horrible horrible addiction such as self harm
self harm isn’t “cool” or “trendy” or “quirky” it’s a severe addiction that is just as lethal as meth or cocaine. and if you want to make it seem like it is a cool thing to do, or if you want to make a fictional character self harm to seek quirky then you are a horrible person
sorry for this rant, i’m just so sick of the romanticization of such a debilitating illness
